their memories be a blessing. thanks very much for listening. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. erin burnett "out front" starts right now. thank you, wolf. president trump takes credit for making june teteenth very famou. a republican reportedly designs tonight over the president's actions and words about race. will house democrats subpoena john bolton after his book on trump. adam schiff joins us. and the president admits a small percentage of people might get sick at his rally. the rally is ask mr. trump for a safety plan. good evening. i'm erin burnett. "out front" tonight, president trump bragging about making juneteenth very famous.

saying i made it famous, very few people have heard of it. very few people have heard of it. actually a young african-american secret service knew what it was. i had political people who had never heard of it before? did you ever hear of juneteenth before? here are her responds, i did from last year when the white house put out a statement. trump replied, oh really, we put out a statement, the trump white house put out a statement. she responded, yes. trump added, oh, okay. the president of the united states making a holiday about the end of slavery about himself and then there's the irony that the president himself didn't know what it was until he asked a black secret service agent. plenty of people did know about juneteenth. 47 states have recognized it as a holiday or observance. it should never be about president trump making juneteenth famous. it shouldn't be about president trump at all. as we see time and time again on

this issue, it is not easy for him. >> i think i've done more for the black community than any other president. and let's talk a pass on abraham lincoln because he did good although it's always questionable. in other words -- >> well, we are free, mr. president. he did pretty well. >> you understand what i mean. i'm going to take a pass on honest abe as we call him. >> the end result, the freedom of slaves. look, we know the president's words and actions when it comes to race are hurting him in his own administration now. "the washington post" tonight reporting that a top state department official, a republican, has resigned. elizabeth taylor was the assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs writing a letter saying the president's comments and actions surrounding racial injustice and black americans cut sharply against my core values and convictions. all of this as the nation is still dealing with the death of george floyd and again now the death of rayshard brooks.

tonight two former atlanta police officers charged in the death of brooks have turned themselves in formally. now atlanta police have been calling out sick. victor blackwell is out front live in atlanta. we are now hearing that he is not going to seek the death penalty as a punishment? >> that's correct. paul howard confirmed on cnn he will not be seeking the death penalty for ex-officer garrett rolfe. one of the 11 charges rolfe faces is felony murder which is punishable by death. he did not go far as to say he would not seek life in prison without parole. just before 3:30 today rolfe turned himself in. he's been in custody ever since. the d.a. has asked for him to be

held without bail. we learned moments ago he waived his first appearance. it'll be a while before we see that ex-officer. again, the other officer on the scene last friday night, officer devon brosnan, he bonded out on a $50,000 signature bond, was if had and out pretty quickly. and one more thing about officer brosnan, there was that confusion about this time yesterday when we heard from his attorney saying that his client had not agreed to be a state's witness, had not agreed to testify against officer rolfe. what we know from the da is that he says his understanding has not changed, that he expects that officer brosnan will cooperate with his investigation moving forward. >> so, you know, in the wake of these charges, obviously, you know, you have the possible death penalty clearly on the table yesterday. i know that's changed today. in the wake of this and the protests over the death of rayshard brooks, what is the morale like in the atlanta

police department right now, victor? >> low. deflated in fact. we had reports -- my colleague ryan young, a source inside the apd, tells him that in zone one there was just a single officer and two sergeants who showed up for work today. that would be typically many multiples of that number. there have been an increase in sick-outs and we've heard from a 24-year veteran of this department. i can put it up here. he says in 24 years i've never seen this low morale. it's just the distrust and the disconnect between the troops out there and actually the command. i've never seen anything like it. it is amazing. in response to that we've heard the the atlanta police foundation will be giving $500 to every atlanta police officer they say as just a thank you hoping to boost morale. but it is deeply deflated here with a lot of officers refusing to respond to calls unless

another officer needs help. actually i was at the protest last night where protesters pulled their cars into the middle of university, if you remember that from this broadcast a day ago. and i watched an apd officer pull up to those cars, drive around them, no sirens, no lights, and keep going. didn't stop to tell them to move those cars out of the way. so, fairly low here, erin. >> that's for sure. victor, thank you very much. i want to go now to the former president of the naacp, gloria borger, and cedric alexander back with us. ben, what's your reaction to the da today making it clear, backing off the death penalty charge, making it clear that is not on the table, that he will not seek the death penalty in the rayshard brooks case? >> it's a good thing. the same civil rights movement stands up to ensure we finally end these killings of black

people and all people by the cops also stands up to say let's abolish the death penalty. it wasn't long ago in georgia we saw a man named troy davis who many frankly were convinced, including myself, was not guilty killed. they have a flawed death penalty there. so, every time they don't seek it as far as i'm concerned is good. >> so, chief, you know, you heard victor just there talking about the low morale in the atlanta police department, that he was talking about one precinct where our ryan young reported one sergeant and two officers show up to work when you have multiple of that. that 24-year veteran that victor was talking to said there's confusion now. they don't know what force can now be used. he said, quote, there's no new policy or information so what are we supposed to do? no one knows what we are supposed to do. he continues to say, so i'm scared. and now they're not coming to work in mass. what does all of this mean,

chief? >> well, let me say this, i think many of us certainly can understand their anger, their frustration, and as i said before their confusion in terms of what they should or should not do. nothing is more troubling for these officers than now to feel that they're in a position that no matter what they do they could be subject to losing their jobs or subject to an arrest. and we certainly don't want any of them coming to work that way. so, we must continue to, i think as a community and certainly as leadership, in that agency and with elected officials, must be able to encourage the importance they have their support. i had an opportunity this afternoon to communicate with mayor bottoms, and she is vigorously going to address the training issues that are such major certain.

and she has a great deal of concern about it, and she wants to make sure her men and women understand what the rules of engagement are. and she herself is going to take leadership in making sure that training comes forth. >> so, gloria, you know, this comes as the senior state department official i mentioned, mary elizabeth taylor, is resigning. she's one of the highest ranking african-americans in this administration. she's resigning specifically because of trump's response on race. and she writes in part, quote, the president's comments and actions surrounding racial injustice and black americans cut sharply against by core values and convictions. she has been with the administration since day one, and this is the final straw for her. how telling is this, gloria? >> well, it's very telling. it's clearly a crisis of conscience here. and she's been with him since

day one, and that means she was there for charlottesville and she was in a meeting in the roosevelt room with senators and i think clearly tried to help work this issue through for the white house. she is a keeley yy liaison for state department with republicans in congress. she used to work for mitch mcconnell on the hill. she's very well respected. she's regarded well on both sides of the aisle as somebody who tries to work to get things done. so, when someone like this decides they have to leave, you have to pay attention to it, erin because it's clear to me from reading that short letter that she had reached some kind of breaking point and just said to herself, you know, i can't do it anymore. >> i mean, you know, ben, this comes as, you know, today the interview appears with the president in the wall street tournl where he talks about the rally in tulsa that was

originally scheduled for juneteenth. and his way of seeing that is that well, now it's famous and that he made it famous, right? say it again, i made juneteenth very famous. it's actually an important event, an important time, but no one had heard of it. very few people had heard of it. he himself saying he had to ask the black secret service agent in the room according to the reporter what it was. what's your reaction? >> well, first of all i think he would also say he made douglas moore famous when he thought fred douglas was still with us. if he's brought greater notoriety to juneteenth it's because he sought to bring his racist rhetoric to a town 100 years later where an entire black district was destroyed by people on the ground and in the air. they flew planes over. they doused it with oil. they lit it on fire. they killed people by the score, and he wanted to in the month of

the anniversary of that bring his racist rhetoric to town on the anniversary of the end of slavery in texas when it's celebrated nationally. and it's just utter, his unwillingness to apologize. all we want to hear right now is, i'm sorry, i didn't understand. this man doesn't seem to have any humility in his body when it comes to issues of race. and it's deeply, deeply disturbing and divisive. we thought he was going to say something about police reform. he spent one minute on reform, three minute protesters, five minutes praising the cops. we need more from our president in times like this. >> all right. i appreciate all of you very much. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. next, will democrats now

subpoena john bolton after the scathing revelations in his new book? the man who wanted bolton to testify, adam schiff, is out frochblt. oklahoma coronavirus cases have doubled since last week as the president admits, quote, a small percentage of people may get infected at his rally. he's having them sign a waiver, can't sue him over it. florida could be the next epicenter for the pandemic, questioning the handling of that state, a top doctor in florida asking questions tonight. she's out front. but when you're with fidelity, a partner who makes sure every step is clear, there's nothing to stop you from moving forward.

tonight president trump and his former national security adviser john bolton gearing up for their first court fight tomorrow over the book the president of the united states does not want you to read. the president attacking bolton as a sick puppy, a disgruntled employee, and calling the book fiction. in an interview today, bolton had this to say about president trump. >> i don't think he's fit for office. i don't think he has the competence to carry out the job. there isn't any guiding principle i was able to discern other than what's good for donald trump's re-election. >> outfront now the man who served as lead impeachment manager, adam schiff. i just want to start with bolton accusing you of malpractice on impeachment because you were not

willing to wait for a court to decide whether he should testify. you subpoenaed bolton. he said he wouldn't testify unless a court forced him to honor that. you didn't move ahead with that because you said you didn't want to spend months and months tied up in court getting to the election, it didn't make sense. what are you saying now accusing you of malpractice because you weren't willing to wait for court? >> well, it's quite ais charade. i give him credit for shared nerve. what he's saying basically is there was malpractice in impeachment because you should have investigated things i was unwilling to tell you about. that's pretty breathtaking, but it's bolton's best effort to do a couple of things. one, to try to rationalize why he didn't do his patriotic duty, why his deputies testified, risked their careers. colonel vindman may have been passed over for promags.

they risked their futures when john bolton decided he was not going to fight in court. i think it's also in an effort to stay in good graces of republicans even as he's trashing the president. none of that reflects well on john bolton. none of it reflects what a patriot would do. at the same time we have to take the allegations of the president's duct seriously because they're consistent with what we saw in the trial. >> the president says the book is pure fiction. are you going to subpoena him now? is that worth your time? >> you know, we have just begun discussions with leadership about what next steps are appropriate to find out more about what john bolton experienced, saw, witnessed in terms of the president's wrong doing. that quote that you played from him just a moment ago about how essentially you never saw the president make a decision based on what was good for him.

that was exactly what we tried in the case, pointing out that you can't count on donald trump to do what's best for the country, only what's best for him. and this whole pattern and practice of putting the national interest, our national security interest, below his personal interest whether it was via ukraine or vis-a-vis china, it didn't matter. you have the same dangerous pattern. i think it's worth making sure we understand just how he has exposed and undermined the country. how we do that, we're still in the process of discussing. >> so, bolton, there's a lot of things in this book. he talks about a pattern. it says you all should have investigated this pattern of the president to intervene in criminal investigations. he says basically to give personal favors to dictators he liked the pattern looked like obstruction of justice as a way of life. he goes on and gives that example of he says hearing trump personally asking the chinese

president to help him get reelected. what was new to you? what surprised you? you're the chairman of the intelligence committee. you've seen everything there was to see about russia. you were the impeachment lead manager. what surprised you in john bolton's book? >> well, you know, we knew of course that there was the president on the white house lawn saying even during the impeachment proceedings that, yes, he wanted ukraine even then to do an investigation of the bidens but he also wanted china to do an investigation of the bidens. and of course the white house and the president's defenders wrote that off and tried to say oh of course he's just kidding. but of course he wasn't kidding. now we see in the book he wasn't just calling on china to investigate the bidens. he was also calling on president xi to help save his re-election by buying from more midwestern states he was dependent on. and more than that betraying american values in the conversations with president xi

saying it's not only appropriate for you to hold millions of liters in concentration camps, but it's the right thing to do. that is so at odds with everything this country should stand for, and it shows a whole different level of unfitness fo fors office. those things surprised me in that they were new. didn't surprise me at all in that it's true to the president's lack of character. >> so, what about john bolton's character? he knew all this then and he didn't say it. he was subpoenaed, had opportunity to speak and he didn't. he did the whole court thing. do you think he should be held accountable for withholding this information, waiting to put it in a book? >> i think he certainly would be held accountable by history. i don't know how else he can be held accountable, but you're absolutely right. what john bolton's attorney was arguing when we were trying to get him to testify before the committee is that in the absence of a court order to do so, he

might be violating his constitutional oath. he might be betraying the president. apparently because he never got that court decision, that didn't matter if he was offered $2 million for a book. that's the kind of lack of patriotism and profiteering, frankly, that apparently characterizing john bolton. as damning as the allegations against the president are in that book, they were equally damning of john bolton for keeping it concealed at a time when it really mattered to the country. >> chairman schiff, thank you very much. >> thank you. and next president trump saying some people could be wearing masks because they don't like him. and florida is predicted to be the next large epicenter of coronavirus. it has just set a record for the most cases reported in a single day. we'll be right back. when you shop with wayfair, you spend less

tonight the president admitting a very small percentage, his words, of people attending his oklahoma rally this weekend could contract coronavirus. this according to cnn analysis, cases have doubled in the past week. the venue in tulsa can hold

20,000 people and is asking the trump campaign to submit a safety plan for the rally. the campaign of course has so far only said that masks are optional and there's no social distancing at this indoor rally. much more in a moment. first i want to go to nick watt because he's out front with the information about rising cases across the country. >> reporter: face masks are now mandatory for most of california's 40 million people anywhere deemed risky. on a bus, for example, even waiting for that bus. we are seeing too many people with faces uncovered, says the governor, putting at risk the real progress we have made in fighting the disease. in california and in nearly half our states, average new case counts are now climbing. >> i don't see any option other than to start reimplementing significant levels of social distancing once again. >> reporter: in texas, the governor won't give mayors the power to make masks mandatory for all.

>> you don't see mask wearing because they haven't experienced the same level of death and disease from covid as parts of the northeast. >> reporter: florida once made incoming new yorkers quarantine on arrival. >> fast forward 100 days, now we're afraid they're bringing the virus to our state. >> reporter: new york mulling its own quarantine order for anyone incoming. good news, new yorkers can very soon dine out again on the sidewalk. bad news, white house task force dr. anthony fauci now thinks football may not happen this year. make no mistake, this is no easy task, replied the nfl. we will make adjustments as necessary to meet the public health environment as we prepare to play the 2020 season as scheduled. meanwhile, the man tapped to lead the white house vaccine effort now bullish about that ambitious end of year goal. >> what i thought was an aspirational goal 30 days ago

when i was announced by the president, i've recently come to the conclusion that it is more and more likely to occur. >> reporter: and the president himself thinks it's pretty much all over. >> if you look, the numbers are very miniscule compared to what it was. it's dying out. >> reporter: that is a lie. >> it's not true. it's hard to see how one could arrive at that conclusion when you look at the data that we have been talking about. >> reporter: this past week, all of these states have hit record highs for new cases in a single day. texas, oregon, oklahoma, alabama, arizona, california, and florida. and that is not just down to more testing as the president, the vice president and a few governors want you to believe. if you're still on the fence, let's take hospitalizations, a very concrete number. right now, we are seeing record

highs in texas, arizona and south carolina. erin. >> thank you very much, nick. i want to go now to dr. jonathan reiner. he advised the white house medical team under george w. bush, director of cardiac cath lab at g.w. hospital. you heard the president, it's dying out. okay. what do you say to that? >> it's not dying out. we have levelled off at about 20,000 cases per day. every time you hear the president speak about the pandemic, i get the sense that, you know, he feels that it's easy to get people to agree with him if he tells them what they want to hear. people want to hear that it's dying out, but it's not. it's dropped to very much lower levels in parts of the northeast, and it's rising to very high levels in parts of the south and southwest which is why our daily case rate has been

about 20,000 for several weeks because we've off set the gains that we've made with the outbreak in the south and southwest. >> just to make the point here, even as testing has gone down, for example, in oklahoma, cases are going up, right? and we can make these points in various ways in various states. this isn't a case of we're testing more people. that's categorically incorrect. what is the concern you have about what you just said. the places where it's hottest, where people are most outdoors, where theoretically a virus that is not as active in hot weather shouldn't be as active this time of year is resurging. what is the risk that that carries with it down the line? >> well, we haven't learned the lessons -- or we haven't carried forward the lessons that we learned in places like new york and new jersey about how to suppress the virus. so, we opened parts of the south

and southwest in texas, arizona, oklahoma while the virus was starting to rise. also, we've told people that they don't need to wear masks if they feel uncomfortable wearing them. we've made that a political issue. so, we have failed to heed the hard-learned lessons from the first three months of the pandemic. >> and now you have this rally and the president was asked about the risk of people getting sick. and he responded, quote, people have to know that yes, you do, but it's a tiny, you know, it's a very small percentage. they've had to sign waivers, if they get sick or very sick or die, they can't sue. he starts shrugging it off. now the venue wants a safety plan, indoor, 20,000 people, masks optional, social distancing not part of the plan. what really is the risk in tu tulsa? >> the risk is real. tulsa just had record number of cases. in the last week the number of cases in tulsa is up 111%.

if a club owner tried to overpack their venue with people, the fire marshall would shut it down. it's unsafe to have this event in tulsa right now, and the county health commissioner should shut it down. i think it's possible they will. it's not safe to do it. >> all right. well, we're going to see what happens. it's now down to basically hours they have to make that decision. dr. reiner, thank you as always. >> be well. and next a new study warns florida could become the next epicenter for the coronavirus. and breaking news, the air force inspector general reportedly investigating whether the military used a service plane to monitor protests. some companies still have hr stuck between employees and their data.

we...will...never...quit. because they never quit. tonight florida has all the markings of the next epicenter of coronavirus cases.

that's a quote from the university of pennsylvania. it comes as the state is running low on icu beds and is reporting whether 3,200 coronavirus cases which is another single day high for that state. dr. ilene marty, adviser to republican miami-dade mayor. i appreciate your time dr. marty. cases in florida going up. a new record today for new cases. so, on this issue of an epicenter coming out of the university of pennsylvania model, do you think florida could be the next epicenter? >> if we don't hammer this thing back down, yes it could. but that's the goal. we have just spent so much time and effort and suffering hammering down the original outbreak that it's really a tragedy to see the numbers start to go back up. and we have the public health

measures that can be used to get it back down without having a lockdown if the community cooperates. >> so, what you have from the governor ron desantis, he has discounted the spike in cases saying it's increased testing. furthermore he's blaming specific places, prisons, long term care facilities, essentially if you take that out and the increased testing there's not a problem here. is he right? >> we have been testing those communities for a long time now. since april we have been testing members of those communities. and if it's any reflection of what's going on, it's a very small part of the picture. and the reality remains that there are more hospitalizations happening here right now. so, we know this is a real increase in cases. and i should add that the mayor of dade county is well aware of this and he is ready to take

action because he doesn't want to see this be the next epicenter. and we are going to do whatever's necessary in a polite and friendly way to try and avoid this becoming the next epicenter. >> so, you've called this virus a monster. what do you think people need to understand who are becoming complacent or perhaps acting a bit blah zay right now? >> i think people understand what this virus is in its raw form. you know, we look at the numbers and we say, well, there's tremendous amount of people in the world, 8.3 million, we're almost at half a million dead. and that's horrible. believe me. but if we didn't have modern medicine, if we didn't have icus, if we didn't have the tools, the genomics, and all those things that are really new, the new understanding of immunology we've developed over

the last 30, 40 years, those 20% of people that would go to hospital could die. that's really what it is. and if you think of it that way, if you try and compare this virus to other outbreaks, to the 1918 pandemic or to the bubonic plague, et cetera, you have to put it in perspective of what are the tools that we have available to us today? what are the medicines that we have? what ways can we keep people alive? and that's where the difference is. >> that's a pretty powerful way of looking at it and i hope one that people take note. thank you very much. >> you're very welcome. >> dr. ilene marty. and next the hanging deaths of two black men in california. i'm going to ask the state's attorney general if he sees a connection. and black voters using this moment in history, real power in 2020. >> if you don't go out and vote, you're voting for trump, period. that's it. there is no other way around it.

tonight a major rebuke from president trump in the supreme court. endi it protected more than 700,000 immigrants. they all came to the united states illegally as young children but it protected them from deportation. of course it's the only home most of them have ever known. it was the second time this week that the court has ruled against president trump. out front now the california attorney general who led a coalition of 21 attorneys general to defend daca before the supreme court. i appreciate your time. when you take this ruling on daca, how significant is it? >> it's big. it's an indictment of the way the trump administration does business. it's said that everyone must follow the rule of law, white house and the occupant don't have the right to be above the law. so, it was big because it spoke to the arbitrary nature of the

actions that donald trump took as president to end the program. and now he didn't do it. >> so, now the chief justice roberts, you know, now he's been being slammed of course by the right. but he said that the trump administration didn't follow the appropriate protocol, right, the procedure to undo daca. his point was not on constitutionality. it was on procedure. are you concerned that that actually gives president trump a road map to try again, do this properly, get it approved? >> erin, that's a very simple, funny thing about this whole mess. there's always been a road map. it's been laid out pretty clearly by presidents in the past. all that donald trump has to do is follow the rules to either put in place or remove an executive order. an executive -- i mean daca was a creature of an executive order, not a statute. so, a president can institute an executive order. a president can dismantle an

executive order. donald trump tried to do this the wrong way. that's why the supreme court slapped him on his hand. >> this case is getting a lot of attention in your state this week, attorney general. someone in oakland called police to report a fake body hanging from a noose. it comes as you are investigating cases of black men hanging from trees in california, two cases of that. as you look at this, what do you think is happening here? do you think there's any connection? >> we're going to do what we can to find out. we're involved in the investigation of the incident involving robert fuller in palm dale where he was found dead hanging. it's unclear, but it's chilling. i've got to tell you it doesn't help circumstances. everyone's on edge. there are a lot of people who are very frightened. a lot of people are courageous and peacefully protesting. to see these things just doesn't

help. but we have an opportunity here and i hope we take this responsibility to get to >> so you know this week, the context you're talking about in the communities and protesters bravely going out. you talked about police reforms, including the banning of chokeholds, requiring officers to intervene when colleagues use excessive force. that's what you have recommended. but there are signs of frustrations. a veteran of the lapd says the morale is the worst he's ever seen. the attorney general in atlanta, officers calling out. morale is low. there are a lot of good, decent people on these police forces trying to do the right thing. are you worried having officers calling out and having a bigger problem? >> what concerns me most is if everyone goes the wrong direction, everyone feels the angst and the morale goes down for everyone. what you're in a police agency

or if you're one oh it have protesters. if you feel that only bad things can happen, bad thing also happen. so we have to change that. i think that's why a lot of folks are speaking out, courageously so. the most important thing is, let's talk but after we talk, let's do something. and this is our opportunity the moment to do something. >> before we go, attorney general, i want to ask you about something we just learned this hour, is the air force inspector general is now investigate wlg the military was using a secret surveillance team to monitor the protests over washington and minneapolis. what is your response to that? >> again, chilling. where a president will use the military against its own people. and we should take a look at the military who didn't say something because they've got to know what they did was wrong. but once again, it shows the character of donald trump. whether it was in this daca decision or in the use of military against our very people.

he's doing it the wrong way, and he should be slapped down for doing it. >> attorney general, thanks for your time. >> thank you. black voters may be the key to 2020 election. >> prior to the universal appeal of this movement is because of donald trump. because people realize who and what he is. good morning, mr. sun. good morning, blair.

there's no other way around it. >> reporter: with tributes to george floyd and breonna taylor with murals and signs calling for peace and justice, a sound track of american politics is now animated by protests. with anger towards president trump resonating far louder than adoration for joe biden. >> there's a time when you go to the polls to vote for something. and then there's a time when you go and you take a stand against something. >> reporter: in 1967, he helped lead a fight for fair housing in 200 straight days of marching. these images seared into his mind, like coming face to face with two policemen. in today's protests, he sees broader diversity. but the unities purpose. >> probably the universal appeal of this movement is because of donald trump. because people realize who and

what he is. >> reporter: here in one of the nation's most segregated cities, a summer of unrest is part of the presidential race, that will test whether protesters have awaken admit call movement. >> there are people like, what do you mean he's racist. point to something clear and specific. we can point to this moment, just a few months ahead of the presidential election about how he's treating our community. >> reporter: angela founded a group to mobilize african-americans after trump narrowly carried wisconsin in 2016. when turnout among black voters and others substantially fell. since then, there are some signs of change. in april, david crowley was elected as the first african-american milwaukee county executive. a seat once held by republican former governor scott walker. >> people know we need change. >> reporter: the trump campaign isn't ce d'ing black voters. opening a fieldhouse here on martin luther king, jr. drive.

david bowen, a democratic state representative, said voters should not be fooled. >> it's very offensive to the standpoint that nothing in his administration or that he's done really lines up with those words. >> reporter: protests in milwaukee are approaching the third straight week, organized by frank senseba who said he intentionally didn't vote four years ago. >> this november, yeah, i do plan to vote. this november i can't pass. >> reporter: and that gives hope to mckinney, that these young demonstrators will keep their eye on november. >> i think they'll be there. i think that's what trump is afraid of. >> reporter: now, the anger and disdain for president trump is so clear by the democratic voters we talked to. whether or not they voted in 2016, they said they will vote in november. the burden also on joe biden to excite democratic voters. it's one reason he opened a $15 million ad campaign today in six

states, including here in wisconsin. and no coincidence, he'll be accepting the democratic nomination here two months from this week. erin? >> jeff, thank you very much. and thanks to all of you for joining us. the cnn global town hall "coronavirus, facts and fears" begins now. ♪ >> welcome. thanks for joining us. i'm anderson cooper in new york. >> and i'm dr. sanjay gupta in atlanta. this is our 14th cnn global town hall. "coronavirus, facts and fears." in the weeks since our last town hall, so much has changed in the country, including the outbreak. though we would all like to think this pandemic is over, it isn't. experts say we are far from that. we have just got an new estimate from the cdc, and it's pretty grim, projecting more than 135,000 deaths by coronavirus by the 11th of next month. on top of that, ten states now this week havee
