homeowners 30 days past day or in active fore loez your. homeowners 90 days or more past due, jumped 50% over 2 months. black knight noted in june it may be leveling off. it includes people in programs meaning they have an agreement to halt payments in the pandemic. 4.6 million homeowners in the plans. just 15% in fore beare made payments. it shows how much it's disrupted american's personal finances. >> hello to our viewers. i'm john king in washington. thank you so much for sharing your day with us. united states approaching a shocking coronavirus milestone, 120,000 americans dead. expets call the current rate of
9:01 am
growth a forest fire. the president of the united states trying to convince you things are not as bad as we seem heading into re-election summer. the virus spreading faster than ever. 183,000 new cases reported by the world health organization just yesterday. here at home the daily new infections, north of 30,000 on saturday, the highest single day case count in seven weeks. florida crossing the 100,000 case mark just last hour. new data show ten states, arizona, california, florida, georgia, missouri, nevada, oklahoma, south carolina, texas and utah now seeing their highest seven-day average of new cases since the beginning of this pandemic. but the white house signaling this morning it is taking the virus less seriously and wants you to believe the numbers are as bad as they look. scaled back temperature checks at the white house and the white house economic adviser says quote there is no second wave coming even as scientists say
9:02 am
look at the data. >> the challenge with growth is everything looks okay until it doesn't and so this is something to be a concern of everyone that's been watching this. >> we know how to deal with this stuff now. it's come a long way since last winter and there is no second wave coming. all in all, i think it's pretty good situation. >> also some new reporting this hour about a giant rethinking of how the president of the united states campaigns. empty seats at the president's weekend rally in tulsa causing the president to be more than a little bit angry. straight to cnn and the white house and the correspondent kaitlan collins. the press secretary says all is fine. >> reporter: yeah. she said this morning she spoke with the president and he was not angry and not what multiple people talking to the president since saturday night said and they described the president seething over the fact of so
9:03 am
many empty rows in that arena on saturday night after expectations had been high. the president told that nearly a million people requested tickets, expecting it to be a full arena and then it wasn't and we know this is a president who pays very close attention to crowd size and mocks others when they do not have substantial ones so this is not gone over well. of course this has raised questions whether or not the president will fire someone over this. he fired people in the past over crowd sizes and people look at the campaign manager and other officials i'm told that could be under fire, the campaign's official that organizes the rallies and white house officials potentially because yesterday we were told that the president lashing out at everybody over this and so of course as they figure out how the president will respond a lot of that depends on the coverage and how long this stays in the headlines but aides are preparing a way to not have this
9:04 am
happen again and a repeat, maybe hold some rallies outside, in smaller sven knews to fill them up and what we saw saturday is that the supporters are concerned about coronavirus and in an enclosed space so closely with the other people and that is something that the white house is taking into consideration, so's the campaign, and the concerns from his supporters of coronavirus as the white house today eliminated the temperature checks that they were having outside for anyone who is entering the complex for several months. they sent an email to staff yesterday saying it's voluntary. someone saw this email and said if you want one go to the building next door and no longer required to enter the white house grounds saying that's because d.c. is in different phases of reopening but a notable admission from the white house because we have seen several health experts say
9:05 am
testing and other measures should be factored into the reopening moving through of course the coronavirus pandemic. >> continue to watch that play out. showing you pictures. there was a tent there not that long ago. pree appreciate the reporting. now chief political correspondent dana bash and tamara keith. kaitlan was speaking and spoke a line we have heard before that the president lashing out at basically just about everyone. we have heard that line before but we have not heard it 19 weeks before the election making it significant. this is not a time to have doubts about your campaign team and your campaign plan and the president clearly does. >> reporter: it's not but it is very much in character and in keeping with donald trump the politician. it was four years ago this weekend that he fired corey lewandowski and then he had paul manafort as the campaign
9:06 am
chairman and kellyanne con way and so it is -- to hear these things is classic donald trump. the other thing that's classic donald trump is the fact that the campaign felt the need to promote these huge numbers and the first place, john. you have been covering politics a time. i have, as well. anybody who just kind of knows the base eks of it knows there's an expectation game. you keep low expectations and then deliver them higher. you can't do that talking about the issue that drives the president more than anything else in these rallies and that is the crowd size which is why his aides were sort of pumping it up so aggressively and now we know privately i'm told they realize that was a mistake and that's probably captain obvious talking here. >> look. it is a risk but we also know, tamara, they say it boosts the president's spirits.
9:07 am
literally why do that? it makes the president feel better, happy. you just heard kaitlan. look at the campaign manager. the campaign chief operating officer. deputy campaign manager. jason miller was with the campaign last time around. jared kushner, the chief of staff. so you hear all this. the president's mad at everybody. normally that does not get to the finish line and cools off. the question is back to the theme, this is not the time. what do they do to get him to calm down? >> i've been talking to advisers who say what they need to do is find a way to change the story. you know? one rally they say does not a trend make but i'm hearing people saying they need to get out. they need to get him in an aircraft hangar holding something that looks like a big rally but would be noticeably
9:08 am
different in that it's outdoors and would be more isolated. people on the campaign and people close to the campaign say that, you know, there were a couple of challenges that they maybe didn't fully anticipate how significant they would be. one is the coronavirus. that people really truly are concerned about the coronavirus and about the idea of being indoors for hours for a rally and the other thing is that people were concerned about protests. president trump has been pushing this message that black lives matters protesters and others are like unruly mob. there were protesters around the rally and you know who believed the president about how dangerous the protesters are? his supporters who maybe didn't show up. >> such a good point. >> clearly didn't show up for whatever reason. a number of reasons, some deciding it doesn't make sense. dana, not that the president's team got it wrong.
9:09 am
an outdoor venue for an overflow crowd and had to break that down. the president backstage mad to see so many open seats. that's embarrassing but the bigger problem with 19 weeks to go the numbers are in the tank. the national numbers, the job approval, the rating on the coronavirus and race relations, on the big issues before the country right now and the president is struggling and yet this is priceless, chris coons very close friend of joe biden, telling this to politico today. i'm not confident at all. i think the easiest way to ensure trump's re-election is to be overconfident. too many democrats finding the polls encouraging. many assumed that hillary clinton was a shoe-in and didn't vo vote. the way they say it with the 2016 particulalysis is moving.
9:10 am
>> it's post traumatic stress. when you look at the past weekend and what the trump campaign intended it to be, if you strip away whether the numbers were high or whether he rallied the base, and just look at what they wanted which was just to -- a reset. a way for him to get back out there and say i'm here. i'm the guy you elected four years ago and i'm going to -- you know? pick your message point whether it's i'm better than joe biden or bring the economy back but it was totally overshadowed by everything else and that is the real challenge. and to chris coons' point, there's spin coming from the trump campaign there's an enthusiasm gap of trump and biden but there's something to that. they didn't have the numbers they wanted but a lot more people than joe biden has and to
9:11 am
be fair because joe biden isn't asking those people to come to a rally right now. >> right. if they hadn't hyped the numbers would have looked better. appreciate youren sights. next, head live to texas, the maynor of ft. worth joins us to discuss whether she is worried. gives my skin an extra boost of life. it's full of energy. it finally matches me. i'm denise bidot, and my skin is powerful. and i can face anything with my olay.

to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't. [grunting noise] i'll take that. woohoo! 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. ensure max protein. with nutrients to support immune health. we're told to expect the cdc to update the recommendations on masks soon and official telling cnn the agency currently taking a second look at the science, the question, of course, will the cdc be stronger in the recommendations? other question, just how effective are masks in the spread of the coronavirus? let's just start by reminding you of the national trends. the mask debate, politicization is a big deal. 23 states have case counts that are going up. 11 reporting 50% higher rate of casses this week compared to last week. 15 states and the district of
9:16 am
columbia, 15 statesman date masks in public, out in close, imty to other people. experts say cases perhaps avoided because of mandates saying the longer you go, wearing a mask, the more the spread of the virus drops down. a study by "lancet" said without a mask about 17.4%. those numbers say a mask is helpful but there's a big debate about this. listen to the mayor of miami beach saying it would be helpful if the experts would give us clear guidance. >> my city, the day the cdc said wear them, we entered an order directing people inside and outside when they couldn't physically distance at parks and on the beaches.
9:17 am
we have been following the guidance. the cdc is late and haven't given us a great playbook if one at all frankly and been our own to write this thing as we go along. >> let's discuss the debate of masks in the state of texas, ft. worth mayor is with us. thank you for your time. if you look at the front page of "ft. worth star telegram" it is catchy. this is sunday. put on a mask. your position is you don't want to mandate it but you find it helpful. is that right? >> that's correct. i believe masks are very helpful. i think there's confusion about the message early on but i think it's clear they're helpful. this is about local control and letting people take personal responsibility. there's no studies saying mandatory is better than voluntary and we are strongly recommending it and pushing it in our businesses and strongly
9:18 am
recommending it and we saw decent compliance. >> decent compliance. okay. i hope people watching boost it up listening to the mayor. >> i hope so. >> if you look right now, help us. help us, your assessment of where you are in the sense that texas among the early states to reopen and you see the case count going up right now, quite significantly in some ways. looking at tarrant county, 4,046. available 1,929. it looks like that the hospitalization, not under extreme stress and beds available to you. what's the right word? are you just watching it with note? concerned? worried? >> we're watching it with note and growing a little bit concerned because this particularly seems to be a rising count among the younger people between 21 and 45. i'm not concerned about the hospitals because they have plenty of backup space.
9:19 am
they have additional overflow to be activated quickly and our ventilator usage is going down and the icu use is down some. seems the cases aren't as severe and more people hospitalized and everybody needs to take personal responsibility. think about the social distancing. wash our hands and wear your mask when you go out. >> you note and governor of florida saying the same thing right now, dramaticen crease in the new cases of younger people which in and of itself is not too much cause of alarm for they are healthy. do they go home? do they see their parents and grandparents and have the spiral again? texas has had several bad days in a row now. the number of cases isn't the only metric. the infection rate, hospitalizations but when you just spoke earlier of what you are seeing, you say it's mostly
9:20 am
among younger people, you think being knuckleheads, my word, not yours, what can you do about that? do you say, i was trying to be nice recommending a mask and now i require this and other things? >> i think we have to continue to push the message out that young people and everybody, not just young but that's where the problem is, need to be aware they're taking this back to people they love and that they can spread it and people in that older age group who are really sick and it's where our deaths are, but we have lost a good many young people to this virus and i think that having the option to help mandate masks for the businesses is another tool in the cool box, not one that we're prone to use but we need people to comply, begin to listen what's going on and think about who it is you're taking this home to.

fireworks, separation, or any other anxieties, (announcer) if your dog suffers from fear of thunder, thundershirt may be the answer. thundershirt, absolutely, 100% works. ford motor company is back at full production in the united states today and getting ready for the rollout of a most successful vehicle.
9:26 am
the ramp-up is two weeks ahead of schedule. all north american plants were idled in march because of the coronavirus pandemic. with us is ford's president of international markets. thank you so much for being with us today. you're fully ramped up two weeks ahead of schedule which suggests to me you believe there's demand out there. on thursday you roll out the f-150. we have high unemployment, questions of the lasting um pacts of this pandemic. are you seeing consumer demand or consumers cautious? >> so, first of all, thank you for having me, john. good afternoon. yeah. the retail demand in the industry and especially for us has held up really well throughout this pandemic. it's not quite at the same levels as last year but it's held up fairly well. the fleet is a little bit weaker
9:27 am
and primarily by rental car sales because they're not buying the normal level of vehicles but overall much better than expected. and as you mentioned our f-series vehicle has a substanti substantial impact and launching a brand new one later this week. >> and so as we watch that play out take us inside your factories and tell us the success stories and any concerns you have in the context of the coronavirus. as we watch america go back to work, watch the world go back to work, the question is, how safely can you pull this off? you will have some cases but you see this whether we look at sports that 'ems to get back together, players testing positive, what's been the experience in your factories? are you seeing new cases or are all the safety things put in place protecting?
9:28 am
>> yeah. john, obviously the safety of our employees is first and foremost. so while the plants were shut down we shut down our plants march 19th and we started bringing them back may 18th and roughly two months. while those were down we literally developed a playbook on how to bring the plants back up, how we were going to create an environment that is safe for our employees. so we do things like first of all the employees have to do a self certification on an app every day before they come in to work. as they enter work, there's obviously big facilities. where hundreds of people or thousands coming in. they all social distance as they come in. we have remote cameras that take their temperature. all the employees are provided personal protection equipment.
9:29 am
and if there is a case or even symptoms, we send the employee home. we do it very thorough cleaning of that area. we then also do very rigorous contact tracing to find out who were the people who were near those folks and we send -- we ask them to receive quarantine for 14 days and all of this seems to be actually working quite well. we like you mentioned we have had cases that have come into the plant but throughout our contact tracing we haven't found any cases that have been actually transmitted inside the plant so very vigorous playbook put together by our manufacturing team and great cooperation by uaw partners keeping the employees safe. >> you have been a part inside the ford company of this remarkable evolution of global manufacturing in recent years. some lessons in the case of the coronavirus, some temporary
9:30 am
things to do in the heat of the moment, but as everybody reimagines the workplace and the systems some of the lessons will be lasting. we'll we respond to coronavirus to be with us for five, ten, 15 years. what are those after first work to home and now back to the factories, what's the lasting evolutions of the coronavirus? >> john, i think there will be multiple, multiple things. it is way too early for us to really understand the lasting impacts this will have on trade, on our work habits. for example, a big part of our company went to start -- started working from home march 13th. and amazingly, using technology, the company hasn't really missed a beat. and we started looking at the employees and sort of two ways. employees who are -- whose jobs dependent on being at a
9:31 am
facility, for example. if you're going to build cars at a plant you need to be at the assembly plant and several others who are also not assembling vehicles but designing vehicles, in studios, testing, powertrains who have to be in facilities and thinking through this view of who absolutely needs to be there, who doesn't need to be there and when we do bring back people not facility dependent how to work with them, conference rooms probably not as crowded and wears masks, seriously thinking about maybe there are some people who will not come back for a long time. we recently sent out a survey to thousands of employees in the u.s. basically trying to understand how they are experiencing it. how they think about coming back. do they want to come back full-time, part time? are there some that don't want to come back at all?
9:32 am
what is the work experience from home? lots of questions but not all the answers available yet but fundamentally changing how we work. >> i'm going to circle back some day. >> for example. >> go ahead. >> oh, sorry about that. for example, we do these launches, the product vehicles, used to be in big halls with big crowds and a lot of press. we are moving to virtual. some of the launches will be a mixture of a virtual launch and some audience but that audience is going to be social distanced so a lot of the aspects of the business will change. >> we learn as we go. president of ford, really appreciate your time and i will circle back down the road as we learn the lessons. i appreciate your time. best of luck. still ahead for us, a noose in the garage of nascar's only black driver. ♪ five dollar ♪ five dollar footlong ♪ piled high with veggies

federal investigators now added to those looking into the hanging of a noose in the garage stall of bubba wallace in alabama. the fbi today saying they'll look into this incident. wallace, only african-american driver in nascar, led the charge to have nascar ban confederate flags at the tracks. fellow drivers and sports stars tweeting support for wallace in the wake of this noose incident. joining me is bill lester, former nascar driver, as well. just as a black man who drove in nascar, you were the sole black man driving for nascar.
9:38 am
now bubba wallace is. what goes through your mind when you hear he speaks out, black lives matter logo on the car and there's a noose in the garage stall? >> it's frankly unbelievable. you know? it is so sad and unfortunate that's the case. its's a clear indication that the country has a long way to go. i applaud nascar and commend them for making the statement they made with regard to quality and making the environment welcoming for everybody. but for some they're just not able to apparently let go of their old ways. they need to get with the times. >> i want to read part of his statement saying we will not be deterred by the actions of those who seek to spread hate. this will not break me. i will not give in or back down. i will proudly stand for what i believe in. help us because you can understand the space he finds himself. when you were driving at nascar, was there a lot of overt racism?
9:39 am
did you feel welcome? >> i really didn't feel very welcome. i was booed at a nuchl berhe of tracks on the circuit and didn't understand why. talladega where he is competing today is one of those tracks. it is very difficult. some of the environments. and some of the fans that are there. they are just living in a time warp. it is no reason for them to continue to try to use a rebel flag as a symbol. they should be using the american flag. as far as bubba is concerned, i commend him on what he's doing, the stand he's taken and the position he continues to put forward as far as equality and justice. it's not a black lives matter to the exclusion of everybody else. it's we matter, too. black lives matter just as much as everybody else's and a lot of those folks have that message twisted. they believe that we should be above everybody else or
9:40 am
something to that degree from what i've read on social media and nothing could be further from the truth. >> nascar did take the bold step at bubba wallace's suggestion to take it off the tracks. the great sports reporter andy shoals said across the street from the track vendors sell the confederate flag and sales have gone up. we saw a plane in talladega saying defund nascar with the confederate flag behind it. you see confederate states and portraits coming down around the country as people see an opportunity to take them down. but one of those people saying this is a bad idea is the president of the united states. listen. >> the unhinged left wing mob is trying to vandalize our history, desecrate our monuments, our beautiful monuments. you want to save that beautiful
9:41 am
heritage of our ours. we have a beautiful heritage, a great country. you are so lucky i'm president. that's all i can tell you. >> you can comment on the last part if you wish but i really want your take. at this moment, where i hope the country is listening and learning, the president talks about a great heritage and want to vandalize our heritage. how would you answer that in the context of this as the confederate flag or monuments? >> well, the statements that he makes, statements like that, are just d just divisive. we're all americans and need to live together and coexist peacefully and what we are doing as far as the black community is concerned is making it very clear that we are unhappy with and tired of being put in the backseat effectively. we are -- we require and we
9:42 am
insist on our equal rights, equal justice, lack of racial profiling, police brutality. we are tired of it. black lives matter movement is something that speaks to that. it speaks to equality. stop the discrimination. stop all the things that try to demean us and put us down. we are equal and should be treated equal as americans. and for the president to make some of the statements that he makes that further incense people is not productive. i don't understand what his method is or what he's trying to accomplish. i would hope that he would be a president that would stand for and promote unity but that clearly is not the case. >> bill lester, grateful for your thoughts today. this heinous noose incident will be investigated and very much appreciate your insights at this

white house says the president joking when he said this at his weekend rally. >> when you do testing to that extent you are going to find more people, more cases. so i said to my people, slow the testing down, please. >> that's kaitlan collins with us from the white house, i
9:48 am
understand the president given a new interview and the question came up. >> reporter: yes, he has. yes, it did. just a reminder, many white house officials said the president was kidding when he made that remark that it was tongue in cheek, the president himself did not say that when he just did an interview here at the white house. listen to what he did asked if he told the team to slow down the number of coronavirus tests happening across the nation. >> did you ask to slow it down? >> if it did slow down i think we are ahead of ourselves if you want to know the truth. we have done too good a job. >> reporter: so he does not say yes i was kidding, no i didn't actually tell anyone to say that. he says if they did slow down the testing he thinks that the united states would be ahead of it. that comes after testing is a biggest arguably failure of the administration's coronavirus test given to how delayed it was on a national level to anyone who wanted a test to get a test.
9:49 am
as the president claimed so long ago. >> if he asked the staff to slow down testing that's reprehencible. we get that a non-answer. as we have been on the air you see in the right of the screen, the death toll passed 120,000. more than 120,000 americans killed in this pandemic. when we come back, african-american-owned businesses facing a higher rate of closures in the pandemic. to eligible members so they can pay for things like groceries before they worry about their insurance or credit card bills. discover all the ways we're helping members today. i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh...i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 8 million dogs. nice.
9:50 am
