11:00 pm
you are warriors. the u.s. president speaking at his first campaign rallies in month. though the turnout was large, it was not the 60,000 or more that donald trump had hoped for and his campaign had planned. plus, the president's comments about coronavirus drawing a lot of controversy. how the administration is backtracking. and he was out, then in, now out again. the powerful attorney who investigated trump's allies stepping aside. hello and welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm michael holmes.
11:01 pm
this is "cnn newsroom." it was controversial before it even began, but donald trump's re-election rally in tulsa, oklahoma, was marked by some stunning moments. first, the crowd size. substantial, but as you can see, not packed to the rafters as the president promised. in just two hours he defended confederate monuments in a city that saw a massacre of black americans, and he tried to position himself as the champion of minorities versus his probable opponent in november. >> america should not take lectures on racial justice from joe biden, sleepy joe. a man who praised and partnered with segregationists, shipped millions of black american jobs overseas. virtually every policy that has hurt black americans for half a century joe biden has supported or enacted.
11:02 pm
i've done more for the black community in four years than joe biden has done in 47 years. >> mr. trump also said he told officials to slow down coronavirus testing so they'd find fewer cases. later an administration official said he was kidding because that's something to joke about. coronavirus case the are climbing in oklahoma and some local officials wanted the president to delay the rally altogether. so were people there worried? let's hear from some of them. >> i don't mind going into the arena with the pandemic and the spikes because that's the beautiful thing about our country. i know that i am fully taking on the risk of possibly encountering, you know, or being exposed to it, but as an american, that's my right. >> that doesn't worry me that much because i have my health so
11:03 pm
i was never really worried about it in the first place. >> if i think everyone keeps hand sanitizer around them a little bit and do this a little bit right here, i think it will be all right. wear the mask. wear the mask. >> our reporters have been covering all angles of this rally. gary tuchman was at an overflow viewing area outside. he was one of the few there. paul buchanan was at a protest in hollywood. first abby phillip on why the campaign said the crowd was smaller than expected. >> reporter: plans for a blockbuster campaign rally, a campaign kickoff for president trump, did not go exactly the way that he planned. the campaign had been saying for days that they expected tens of thousands of people to be here at the b.o.k. center in tulsa, oklahoma. not just inside that arena but also outside. they planned for about 40,000 people in the overflow section. they planned to have an entire agenda for them, including for
11:04 pm
president trump and the vice president to prepare remarks at a stage they had set up, but as the evening wore on, there were so few people here that eventually they canceled those plans. there were just a few dozen people standing outside. most of them being urged to go inside by campaign advisers. now inside that arena it was mostly full and a large rally by any standard, but the 19,000 seat arena was not completely full as president trump had hoped for. instead, it seemed like many people decided to stay home or perhaps even stay outside. now the campaign said that they blamed protestors saying protesters scared away some of their rally attendees. they also blamed the media saying the media has been talking so much about the risks of attending an indoor campaign rally during the coronavirus pandemic that some people, including families, chose not to come to this event. we should note that we had reporters all around this arena,
11:05 pm
including where we are here, and we saw many people coming into this event freely. there have been protesters throughout the city, but none of a significant size that they would have stopped tens of thousands of people from coming into this rally. abby phillip, cnn, tulsa, oklahoma. police did break up one group of protestors in tulsa. it happened several blocks away from where the rally had wrapped up. officers did fire some tear gas and rubber bullets. so far no reports of violence or distraction. as you heard in abby's report, there was no evidence whatsoever that protesters kept anyone from getting into the arena despite the president's claim. >> today it was like -- i've never seen anything like it. i've never seen anything like it. you are warriors. thank you. we had some very bad people outside. we had some very bad people outside. they were doing bad things, but
11:06 pm
i really do, i appreciate it. we have just a tremendous group of people in oklahoma. our incredible success in rebuilding america stands in stark contrast to the extremism and destruction and violence of the radical left. we just saw it outside. you just saw it outside. you saw these thugs that came along. these people call them protesters. >> i'm not sure what the president saw, but cnn saw no evidence of these bad people outside as the president said. gary tuchman was one of the reporters outside the arena where that overflow rally that was meant to attract 40,000 people, it didn't. gary tells us what he saw in this report. >> reporter: this is the overflow area outside of the b.o.k. arena where president trump spoke for 1:45. people now streaming out of the arena. it's far more crowded here now than it was during the speech. the idea was for it to be very
11:07 pm
crowded during the speech. you can hear people chanting as they leave towards us. the idea was for president trump to speak on that stage before he went into the arena. but because the stadium wasn't full, this ended up not being full. the decision was made to cancel president trump's speech outdoors. there was a big screen tv behind me. there are only about 15 or 20 people standing there watching the speech. we can tell you one thing is people do not think this rally should be held. a lot of people including the health director here in tulsa county because the numbers are high. it was a victory for the trump campaign. they were talking about a million people wanting to come. it turned out they couldn't even fill up a 19,100 seat arena. people's temperatures were checked and people didn't wear masks. president trump didn't have a mask but he didn't have to stand
11:08 pm
around for five or six hours around lots of people during this event. this is fairy tuchman, cnn, in tulsa, oklahoma. the rally was president trump's re-election campaign relaunch. earlier i asked ron brownstein what he meant when he tweeted about this speech that trump is, quote, running to be president of america in 1968. here's part of our conversation. >> you talk about flag burning, the first time the president passed legislation on flag burning in 1968. there was nothing i think about this rally that would reassure anxious republicans or worry democrats because what you saw was after weeks of having, you know, time to kind of think about what his message is going to be to relaunch his campaign, trump showed us that there is really no secretary act to him. the core of his vision of how he gets elected is to ferment cultural and racial division and
11:09 pm
to try to stoke greater turnout among his groups. his strategy is based on improving his margins. bigger margins among shrinking groups, groups shrinking in society at the price of driving it away. cities are out of control, dangerous, being controlled by leftist. he lost 87 of 100 counties by 15 million votes in 2016. it's entirely likely what's happened with the pandemic he'll lose them by even more. are there enough small votes to pass? he's going to test that. >> we were going back and forth today about this interview. i want to quote you because it was so interesting. you said, whatever you do that's extreme enough to motivate millions of non-voters who agree with you is usually also extreme
11:10 pm
enough to motivate millions of non-voters who disagree with you. it is hard to get a turnout surgeon one side without provoking it on the other. ron, you see this as the risk in his strategy doubling down? >> and we saw it in 2018, right? when you saw this enormous suburban turnout that caused republicans to lose ground in white collar suburbs. before the 2018 election republicans had 43% of the house seats where there were more college graduates. after the election he had 25% of them. that's the kind of trajectory trump put the party on. what you saw tonight with a greatest hits of '60s and '70s backlash against all of the familiar targets, cities, immigrants, elan omar, mayor bowser and nfl players and
11:11 pm
protests, you saw his vision of how he stirs up his base. what was very clear in 2016 and is clear again in 2020, there are millions of americans who find that vision deeply offensive. whatever they think of taxes, regulation, some of the issues that might normally have drawn them to the republican party, he is drawing a different line through the electorate. he is forcing people to decide which side they belong on. right now if you look at the polling he is playing to the short side of that field. >> ron, always a pleasure. thank you so much, sir. ron brownstein. >> thank you for having me on. mr. trump's political rally in tulsa caused a ripple effect that reached all the way to hollywood, but not in a way the president might want. cnn's paul buchanan has more. >> reporter: this refused protest started down the street and it came right down here. the donald trump star is right over there. what this organization has been
11:12 pm
saying that they wanted to counter the trump/pence demonstration in tulsa. very, very harsh words for the trump administration. among other things they're basically saying he was going to open his white supremacist mouth so they gathered here peacefully in hollywood and they showed up in their orange shirts. many of them say trump/pence out now. >> attacking protestors, attacking fascism, this is what we're seeing. it's outrageous. >> reporter: on hollywood boulevard you can see the giant block letters. if you are up above, it clearly reads out black lives matter. the city of los angeles has preserved this. right over here, the protests, trump/pence out now. the trump star on the walk of fame not far from here. all of this put together as a counter demonstration to the
11:13 pm
trump/pence rally in tulsa. reporting from hollywood, i'm paul buchanan, back to you. that trump campaign rally was in a state where covid-19 cases have been going up and up. health experts are calling for more testing, but the president sounded like he was undermining it. we'll unpack his latest claim when we come back. i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. once-weekly trulicity is for type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. it starts acting from the first dose. and it lowers risk of heart attack, stroke, or death in people with known heart disease or multiple risk factors. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes

11:16 pm
with capital group, i can. talk to your financial professional or consultant for investment risks and information. talk to your financial professional or consultant look atstaring at you.p wall. 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.
11:17 pm
that wall never knew what hit it. today let's paint. behr. exclusively at the home depot. president trump's rally in tulsa has been stirring controversy on several levels before it even happened in fact, and that won't change soon especially after he used a racist term to refer to coronavirus. hear it for yourself. >> by the way, it's a disease without question. has more names than any disease in history. i can name kung flu, i can name 19 different versions of names. many call it a virus, which it is. many call it a flu.
11:18 pm
what difference? i think we have 19 or 20 versions of the name. >> it's not the flu, and civil liberties groups are warning that some of those names he's mentioning are leading to actual racist attacks on asian-americans. public health experts also worry that the rally in a state where covid-19 cases are already surging will be a super spreader event. that's when a lot of people get infected all at once in the same place. coronavirus has not disappeared in the u.s. even if some people are bored with it. far from it. some states have actually been hitting new case records this week. dr. jonathan reiner is a medical analyst. he's director of medical lab at george washington university. he joins me now from d.c. let's start, doctor, it's great to have you, by the way, let's start with tulsa. the city had a fifth record in a
11:19 pm
week for cases. you had several trump rally organizers testing positive for goodness sake, and despite that low turnout, what do you think could happen in a few weeks as a result of this gathering? >> good evening. so despite the relatively low turnout, there were probably 10,000 people in that arena, and from looking at the crowd shots, i would say 90% of the attendees there were not wearing masks. so if you think about it, the president had an advance team in tulsa probably for about a week, and six people on his advance team contracted the virus probably in tulsa. so what does that tell us about the likely md that quite a few people in that arena unmasked and probably asymptomatic had the virus? probably very likely. so i'm very concerned that we'll see in two to three weeks a big
11:20 pm
spike in cases in oklahoma. it takes about 7 to 10 days for a person to develop symptoms if they're going to become symptomatic. then usually people get sick about a week after that. so we're looking at two to three weeks for hospitals to start to see significant rise in cases. i'm worried about it. i think it's a real risk and i think it was reckless. earlier in the week i called this rally a criminal endangerment and i stand by that. >> yeah. for a political rally, the urgency of which is dubious. the u.s. still being criticized for a lack of testing compared to countries that have done it well. there was a remarkable moment at the rally where the president said -- he said testing is a double-edged sword and then he said this and we'll just play it. >> when you do testing to that extent, you're going to find more people. you're going to find more cases.
11:21 pm
so i said to my people, slow the testing down please. >> i said to my people, slow the testing down. joking or not, what is the messaging of that? >> well, it's clearly not funny. our lack of testing is one of the reasons why the u.s. has 4% of the world's population, about 25% of its mortality. the first covid positive patient tested positive in the united states in the state of washington on january 20th and it took 51 days for the united states to test the next 20,000 people, 51 days, ten days short of two months. during that time the virus rode airplanes, in the subways, up and down our highways. now 2 million people have been infected, 125,000 people are dead because for a large part how slow we were to test. many of us have thought that the
11:22 pm
lack of speed in ramping up testing in this country was not solely incompetence, now we hear the president of the united states verify that tonight. the president has repeatedly mentioned that he does not like to see the numbers rise. and for him to articulate that is disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful. thousands of people are dead because of that kind of incompetence. >> thanks for your expertise. >> my pleasure. be well. spain ending its state of emergency over the pandemic on sunday and also opening its borders to most of the schengen area. officials hoping this will help the tourism industry. journalist al goodman joining us live from madrid. give us a sense of what this new normal is for spain. >> reporter: hi, michael. i'm at the madrid airport in terminal 4. there are four terminals, only one is open. the other three are all closed.
11:23 pm
let me give you an idea what new normal looks like, empty. this is how it's been for the last three months in the state of emergency. the confinement measures have helped bring down the rate of expansion. the first flight came from myorka. students got off, came back to get their things and go back. we're expecting the first international flight here in the next half hour from paris, another one from milan. slowly they're trying to jump start this tourism which is so, so important to the economy here because you've got an issue of -- the health issue with the coronavirus, the economic issue with so many out of work. michael? >> yeah. and also u.k. tourists are coming in with no restrictions. u.k. has had its own issue with the virus. >> that's a last-minute thing.
11:24 pm
the spanish foreign minister in an interview on saturday night said finally british travelers can come into spain without doing a quarantine. no one has to do a quarantine. that had been in place for more than a month even though brittain is not allowing people into -- at least not spaniards, people coming from brittain into spain. spain had talked about reciprocity but in the end of the out of the respect for the people with second homes, they're going to make this exception for the britts. they will be able to come in. the first flight from london is expected in two hours' time. michael? >> squeeze in one more question. given all of this sort of restarting of everything, i mean, what's the level of concern about another wave? >> well, there is a lot of concern, that's why i'm wearing a mask.
11:25 pm
everybody is wearing a mask as i came into this nearly empty airport terminal four. i was stopped immediately upon entering. i was checked to see why i was here, what i was doing. as the passengers in the luggage areas behind those doors after you get past police passport and customs, all of the incoming travelers will have to fill out where they are going to be staying, a contact card to let authorities know how to get in touch with them. they'll have their temperature measured. there will be a visual check by a medical team. if they don't look so good they will have to go off to medical services. right now there ared that affected people. the toll from the coronavirus, more than 28,000 deaths, more than 245,000 people have tested positive since this outbreak began just here in spain. michael? >> well, fingers crossed and hopefully things will get back
11:26 pm
to normal in spain. we were having tappas with you there in madrid and that got called off. we will pick up on that one. good to see you, al. thanks, my friend. all right. we'll take a quick break. when we come back, on "cnn newsroom," the u.s. president said he wasn't involved with firing a top u.s. prosecutor who was investigating his associates, but that's not true. we'll talk about it next. make banking easier. deposit checks, check balances, pay bills, and more. explore all you can do with our digital tools from almost anywhere. pnc bank. this crisis is going to be over know exactly when and we don't know exactly when the stock market will reach its bottom, we've got to be prepared for this to last a long time. if you assume that you're out of work for nine months but you end up only being out of work for three,
11:27 pm
well that's great. but if you think you're going to be furloughed for three months and it lasts for nine, well that'll be emotionally devastating. so, we've got to prepare ourselves. tangibly and practically, as well as psychologically and emotionally.
11:28 pm
this is hal's heart. it's been broken. and put back together. this is also hal's heart. and his relief, knowing he's covered by blue cross blue shield. and this is our promise, with over 80 years of healthcare expertise: to be here for you now. and always. this is medicare from blue cross blue shield. this is the benefit of blue.
11:29 pm
welcome back to "cnn
11:30 pm
newsroom." i'm michael holmes. after a power struggle with white house officials, top federal prosecutor who has investigated people very close to the president, well, he says he's stepping down from his post effective immediately. the saga involving jeffrey berman began on friday. after trying and failing to push berman out of office, attorney general william barr then asked the u.s. president to fire him and the president did but get this, mr. trump, well, he denies it. >> i called up to the attorney general, attorney general barr is working on that. that's his department, not my department, but we have a very capable attorney general so that's really up to him. i'm not involved. >> evan perez with more details. >> reporter: president trump fired jeffrey berman, the manhattan u.s. attorney who had refused to resign after bill barr, the attorney general, had tried to oust him on friday.
11:31 pm
the attorney general delivered the news in a letter to berman saying, quote, unfortunately with your statement of last night, you have chosen public spectacle over public service. because you have no intention of resigning, i have asked the president to remove you as of today and he has done so. berman was overseeing a number of sensitive investigations, including the investigation into rudy giuliani, the president's personal attorney. berman says that he is making way for his deputy, audrey strauss, who is highly regarded in the u.s. attorney's office and who says will be able to protect all of the sensitive investigations going on in the u.s. attorney's office in manhattan. >> let's talk more about this with cnn legal and national security analyst, anga joining us from white river junction in vermont. been a while since you've been on.
11:32 pm
>> yes. thank you. >> good to see you. asha, gave ri berman, he's gone. not the man william barr wanted. how does what happened look? >> it looks very bad precisely because of what evan just reported, that this office is investigating a number of cases in which president trump would have a personal interest, you know, and a connection, including his personal attorney. there's also charges that have been filed against a turkish bank and we know from bolton's book that there's allegations that trump had wanted to intervene in that case as well on behalf of a request from a turkish president. this looks very bad, and
11:33 pm
especially because barr did not give either on friday or in his follow-up letter any reason for firing berman, which only raises questions given barr's actions in a number of other investigations in other. s. attorney's offices where he's tried to drop cases that would benefit the president by doing so. >> it's interesting. won't get into the detail of the president said i'm not involved in firing berman and it was up to bill barr yet, of course, bill barr in the letter wrote it was trump who was doing the firing. he's literally said i've asked the president to remove you and he's done so. doesn't matter what it says. what strikes me is it speaks to the dysfunction of how things are being run at justice. do you see it that way? >> yes, definitely. i mean, bill barr has said that the president makes it very hard for him to do his job, and i think this is one of those
11:34 pm
examples where the president has contradicted and basically thrown barr under the bus by his public statement. you know, i think there's also an issue where trump does not want to be accountable for the actions that are being taken by barr, and i think we've seen this in other areas. we know that barr is trying to get the charges against general michael flynn dropped. this is for lying about his conversation with the russian ambassador during the trump transition. he's achieving what trump could do with a pardon but probably doesn't want to do for political reasons. i think there's a little bit of a game here where barr is kind of, you know, being the shield for achieving what trump would like to do, you know, but won't do in person. >> that's interesting. you touched on this earlier.
11:35 pm
it's broader than just this. he had scores of former justice department officials already calling for barr to quit over a string of other things. this in many ways is a continuation of what many see as the administration's concerted attack on the justice system and the rule of law, you know, which has been pervasive during this presidency. is that a fair comment? >> it's a fair comment, and i would say that what barr has been doing is even worse than, say, trump's verbal attacks or tweets on the fbi or, you know, any given justice official. and that's because when barr does it, he is giving his actions the veneer of legality. he's obscuring accountability in that process. i gave the example of him being able to do through the courts
11:36 pm
what trump doesn't want to do with a pardon, and that's because a pardon in that case would be politically inconvenient for trump. he would have to own it. but barr can do these things and make it seem as though this is just how the law works. this is, you know, the legal system functioning, and it really leaves, i think, the american public in kind of a smoke and mirrors position of not really seeing where the accountability lies. so i think that that is incredibly dangerous to the rule of law when you can clothe it under a veneer of legality. >> and it's another example, too, of republicans in congress enabling behavior that may set precedent and come back to bite them under another administration quite frankly. do you think jeffrey berman should give evidence before testifying in congress? >> yes, i definitely think he should. now, you know, he won't be able to sbeek ongoing case, but in
11:37 pm
many ways he'll have more freedom to testify now that he's not an attorney. there's nothing the administration can hold over his head. what are they going to do, fire him? he's already gone. he can go in if he wants and testify and speak to, for example, was he pressured in any way to guide investigations to any kind of decision? was barr trying to intervene with any particular cases? he can speak to those kinds of questions, and i think it would shed light because in the southern district, which is a highly independent u.s. attorney's office, you know, what was happening there would speak a lot for what might be going on elsewhere as well. >> a pleasure. good to see you. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. atlanta fire investigators have issued a warrant in the case of a wendy's restaurant
11:38 pm
fire. who the suspect is. how she might be connected to the man shot dead by police in that same restaurant parking lot. that's when we come back. [woman] what is that? [man] uh, mine. why? it's just that it's... lavender, yes it is. old spice, it's for men. but i like the smell of it. [music playing] look atstaring at you.p wall. 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. that wall never knew what hit it. today let's paint. behr. exclusively at the home depot.
11:39 pm
11:40 pm
11:41 pm
welcome back. atlanta fire investigators have issued an arrest warrant in the case of a wendy's restaurant fire last saturday. they say that the woman, there she is on your screen, natalie white, is wanted for first degree arson. that wendy's was set on fire after rayshard brooks's fatal encounter in the parking lot with atlanta police. now in body cam video brooks is heard telling officers that white is his girlfriend. investigators say more suspects
11:42 pm
could be involved. meanwhile, the interim police chief is reassuring atlanta residents that police are responding to emergency calls but he says the force has been stretched because of demonstrations and unrest and he also spoke about why there has been an uptick in police not going to work. >> the explanation for calling out sick vary, and include officers questioning their training, officers being challenged and attacked and unease about officers seeing their colleagues criminally charged so quickly. >> joining me now from los angeles is isaac brian. great to see you. in the big picture, are you heartened by the push for change that's come from the killing of george floyd, rayshard brooks as well, or do you fear that time will pass and actual substantive
11:43 pm
change won't literally be put into effect? >> first of all, it's great to be with you. thank you for having me. i'm not pessimistic. i'm optimistic. i'm hopeful. millions of people across the united states and millions more around the world are calling for dramatic change. we are calling for institutional change, and it's unlike any moment that we've had in recent history, if ever, because of the amplification of social media and the violent videos we're seeing. my resolve is strong, high, and i still hold out hope despite the stonewalling from officials. i still believe the people's will to demand change will be overcome. >> certainly does seem to be a public groundswell for change. when it comes to reform, what to you does that look like? training, body cams, other things haven't brought about the change you want. what do you want for change and
11:44 pm
reform? >> i think reform is complicated. we can do things that would have an impact. we can ban choke holds, we can implement non-lethal thresholds but the sad cold racist reality of doing these reforms is nothing going to end the crisis of black people dieing. the reality is baked into the institutional foundation. we have to start thinking incremental ab bowlism. and that sort of comes to that defund the police, which is sort of a phrase that's a hashtag. to its proponents it's not a literal thing. shut down the police force. diverting funds, to do things perhaps police shouldn't be first responders to. you know, so the issue is by
11:45 pm
providing grassroots support. what do you think of that idea of, quote, unquote, defund the police? >> that's an idea we've been calling for for a long time. i think defund the police is becoming a popular moniker. the divesting and reinvesting in the systems of care and opportunity, i'm glad this moment has established this as the municipality. there's no reason it should be happening when people are struggling to live, thrive, and survive. we need this for all of the things you mentioned, homelessness, mental health kris cease, other things law enforcement couldn't be trained to adequately handle. >> i wanted to ask you your thoughts on what's called the militarization of police and
11:46 pm
certainly many police forces. i mean, i saw one example just the other day. i think we've got it, we can play it for people which is tweeted out by a local reporter. 9,000 people in west virginia, an mrap, i spent a ton of time in them in iraq. they're being handed out to police forces and other staff as well. what is the imagery of that? it's difficult to de-escalate when one side looks like it's going to war. >> that's right. we're doing this with sophisticated equipment. we know about the militarization of police. it's not a de-escalation tactic.
11:47 pm
this is held in the s.w.a.t. unit. it's the same unit that houses the unarmed mounted unit. they have a jurisdiction of the whole city of los angeles, which is 8% black but the arrests are 46% black. we know the militarization of police exacerbates peaceful protests, it leads to lethal outcomes. our communities are not war zones. our communities should be opportunities for people to thrive and grow and live their fullest lives. >> there are many things that need to be done. the sight of an mrap is mind boggling. appreciate your time. isaac. isaac brian, thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. at this time of anti-racism protests all around the world, cnn has conducted an extensive poll on attitudes about racism
11:48 pm
