"out front" next, the breaking news, the nation's top doctors breaking publicly with the president on everything from testing to the severity of coronavirus itself. dr. anthony fauci calling coronavirus a, quote, forest fire. the president though in arizona tonight with a crowd of thousands even as the state reopens with record high cases and deaths today. and an e.r. doctor from phoenix tells me he's seeing a surge and big increase to young patients. also president obama with his first event with joe biden. we'll hear from someone inside that private event. let's go "out front."

good evening, i'm erin burnett. "out front" tonight, trump against the doctors and it's out in the opening. it's testing, it's masks, it's the virus itself. starti starting with testing the president said he wasn't kidding when he said officials need to slow down testing. here he is. >> [ inaudible question ] >> i don't kid. we test. we're going to have more cases. by having more cases, it sounds bad. here's what i say, testing is a double-edge sword. >> at least he admits he wasn't kidding. we told you he wasn't kidding last night even though his own team, of course, said he was just joking in multiple television interviews on every network. but he wasn't kidding. he thinks for testing is bad for him. of course more testing does save lives and will get the american economy back on track faster. tonight hours after the president said he wanted testing slowed down, his top doctor

publicly completely contradicted him. >> to my knowledge, none of us have ever been told to slow down on testing. that just is a fact. in fact, we will be doing more testing, so it's the opposite. we're going to be doing more testing, not less. >> we're continuing to try to enhance testing. it's a critical underpinning of our response. >> my purpose in leading is to increase the number of testing. >> increase. testing needs to go up. it saves lives and it allows the economy to reopen. and here's the most important three words, stay that way. and more testing does not explain why there has been a rise in cases. if you look at the facts, according to the director of cdc, the gentleman you just saw there, dr. redfield, the country is now conducting 5 to 600,000 tests a day. when you look at the chart you can see the percentage of new cases is down significantly from the the height of the pandemic

when the united states was testing 156,000 people a say. hospitalizations are up including texas where they're up 10% in a day. dr. fauci also sounding this alarm just a short time ago. >> the first thing that we would need to do is to try as best as possible to get the complete outbreak under control so that everything is at such a low level that when there are cases that come up, you can contain them as opposed to mitigating, we're essentially chasing after a forest fire. >> chasing a forest fire. and yet just days ago, the president seemed to suggest that this was -- this is over. this was basically extinguished. >> if you look, the numbers are very miniscule compared to what it was. it's dying out. >> okay. it's not dying out. and the president surely knows that or at least he would if he listened to his doctors. or how about this, actually even

talked to his doctors. in a stunning exchange with lawmakers today, the members of the coronavirus task force one after the other had this to say about the last time the president of the united states, donald j. trump, spoke with them. >> about two and a half weeks ago. >> it was two and a half weeks ago, maybe three weeks ago. >> it's been some time since i spoke about the pandemic response. >> as i mentioned before, the interactions i'll keep to myself but i do meet with the task force. >> 2 1/2 weeks ago, the president going it alone at a time when more than 120,000 americans have already died from the virus, icu admissions are surging in double digit number of states. er erica hill is "out front" tonight. it doesn't reflect what the president says it is. >> reporter: it certainly doesn't. the reality is the cases are not going away, this is not disappearing. and lack of testing does not

mean lack of cases. we're seeing increase when it comes to community spread. as more americans leave strict shutdown measures behind, a stark warning that this freedom may be short lived. >> the next couple of weeks are going to be critical in our ability to address those surgings that we're seeing in florida, in texas, in arizona and in other states. >> a new daily high in texas, casing topping 5,000 for the first time. >> because the spread is so rampant right now, there is never a reason for you to have to leave your home. >> reporter: hospitalizations also spiking, up 177% in the last three weeks in harris county. more than 1/3 of all cases in california have come in just the past two weeks. arizona announcing another daily high. nearly 3,600 new cases added on tuesday. florida not far behind. >> we're really in a worse place

now than we were before. >> reporter: 25 states trending the in the wrong direction over the past week. nearly the entire western half of the country. >> we've all done the best that we can do to tackle this virus. and the reality is it brought this nation to its knees. >> more cities now mandating face coverings. but enforcing those rules and keeping people apart is proving difficult in some areas, especially among young people. >> don't be the knuckle head that ruins it for everyone else. >> reporter: 22% of the cases in new jersey are in 18 to 29 years old. >> the testing is increasing but the percentage of those being tested is going much higher. it's being transmitted in a high level in a number of places. >> university of michigan scrapping plans to host a presidential debate. middle borrow college will require students to quarantine at home for two weeks before

arriving on campus. we don't have the virus under control. >> if they're trying to prevent infections coming into their countries, america is going to be one of the top places to block in order to keep themselves safe. >> reporter: one other thing to note, dr. robert redfield also saying today that this virus, erin, has highlighted the public health data and that is something that clearly needs attention. >> all right. erica thank you very much for that sobering report. i want go to dr. sanjay gupta and dr. reiner who directs the cardiac cath lab ot tw. so, the president, he's on an island here. you hear these doctors one after the other, haven't talked to him in weeks. the president says it's dying out. the guy in charge of infectious diseases in the united states says if we don't get control of it by fall we're essentially

chasing after a forest fire. it should disturb all of us to hear these messages be so polar opposite. >> there's no question. the public health community has been pretty consistent on this. and look, the numbers don't lie. we know that it's not dying out. it is a message that we've heard from this president since the beginning. i remember i was at that white house press conference where he said there's 15 people, it'll be zero by next week. it's been consistent in terms of how he's talked about this. but the numbers don't lie. i think the idea that you suggest test less and therefore the problem will go away obviously reflects a lack of understanding or lack of wanting to understand the problem. if you test more, if you test the right amount, the numbers should come down. and that's what's happening in many places around the world. where they've had adequate testing, they've been able to bring the numbers down. we're in a little bit of a tough spot right now as tony fauci

described it. we're getting hit hard right now with these numbers and i don't know how you actually bring them down unless you start implementing some of the basic public health measures. >> right. and they're surging in some of these states as he mentioned florida, texas, arizona among others. dr. reiner, the president was clear today. you know, he said at that rally that he wanted -- told everyone to slow down the testing. so, then all the president's troops went out on national television and said he was just joking, he was just joking. so, then today says he wasn't joking but the people who are in charge, when they were asked today were you told to slow testing down, they were adamant that they hadn't. here they are. >> no. >> no, sir. >> no, congressman. >> so, it's good. he didn't actually do it. he said he did it. he then lied about it and today shed he did it again. they haven't talked to him weeks. how do you put all of this together?

>> well, the president of the united states doesn't believe apparently in the two pillars of our pandemic response, the need to test and the need to wear face masks. the president all along has doubted the necessity of testing. he didn't want the passengers from the "grand princess" to come to the united states because it would drive the numbers up. he said that testing is overrated. and today what he said basically is when we test, we just find some people who don't have illness or they're asymptomatic. what he doesn't understand is that that's how we extinguish the virus. that's how you get people to quarantine, we contact trace their contacts, they stay home. that's how you drop the transmission of the virus. by the same token, he doesn't believe in face masks and we know now with certainty that's the principle way we prevent person to person transmission outside the home.

so, how is it that our chief pandemic officer, the president of the united states, doesn't believe in the two most effective tools of putting the pandemic down. it's either that he doesn't understand which raises unfathomable cognitive questions or he's trying to promote a false narrative that everything is fine and we all have our heads in the sand. >> so, dr. sanjay, i just want to give you a chance in the context of what dr. reiner just said, right, which is the whole point is that you need to test asymptomatic people to find out where it's spreading in the community and who is going to get it, who could become very ill or die. can you explain to people why this is so important? because i think we've all heard from a lot of people who say what's the problem with the young people just going out? they're not going to get it that badly. they're not going to die. why can't they continue with their college life and life and the people who need to stay home stay home. there is a course of this and in

a sense that's what the president is reflecting. why is that wrong, sanjay? >> this is a really fundamental point. i'm glad you're raising it. the concern is that this is a very contagious virus. and even people who aren't having symptoms or who don't yet have symptoms can spread it. that is the whole term asymptomatic spread or pre-symptomatic spread. and we know that this can be concerning. we don't know how big a driver of the overall infection rate that is, but it clearly happens. so, this idea that -- there's two things. one is that younger people are far less likely to get sick. we know that. but they can get sick. so, it's still a risk there and the question is always going to become how much are you willing to accept in terms of risk. but the other part of this is that they can then spread it to people who are vulnerable. by the way, elderly people and people with pre-existing condition is vulnerable. let's say i've got a kid at home

getting chemotherapy for something, you spread it to me and i spread it to the kid. you don't know where the vulnerabilities lie so what has happened in many places around the world is you try to reduce the infection spread because that's how you ultimately are going to extinguish this. we don't have a vaccine yet or a magic therapy yet. yet countries around the world have brought down numbers because of testing, face masks, physical distancing. bread and butter stuff. it works. >> thank you very much. just another reason it confounds me how people don't understand how wearing masks can get the economy open and keep it that way. it's the most basic way. it enables economic freedom, does not curtail it. thank you so very much. next president trump holding an event in phoenix right now, very little social distancing, few if any masks in that room which is happening right now. what the fbi is saying about an alleged noose found in the

president trump is speaking at a students for trump event amid a surge of cases in arizona. arizona reported nearly 3,600 new cases, more than 2,100 new hospitalizations. these are single day records for the state of arizona. just moments ago the president on that podium repeated the use of a racist expression to talk about the virus. and ryan nobles is "out front" in phoenix. ryan, he just referred to it as the kung-flu, using the word kung-flu twice where you are. the president said the plague is going away as he uses that racially loaded term. what are you seeing there in terms of social distancing, masks? it looks pretty crowded. >> reporter: not a lot, in fact hardly any at all. this despite the fact that the city of phoenix, the city council, the major passed an ordinance requiring anyone to have a mask within six feet of

someone. the president doesn't have a mask on. very few people in the crowd have masks on. they did not test temperatures on their way in and there is very little social distancing. it's interesting i should point out, erin, that the governor of arizona is here and he has a mask on. so, erin. >> wow, that's very interesting. all right. ryan, thank you very much. you can see that room. and interesting governor ducey is wearing a mask. those who have been following this recently he was refusing to wear one and recently started appearing with one as he encouraged people to wear them even though he would not give a governor-mandated order that people wear them. there's no social distancing and very few if any masks, no temperatures taken on the way in. "out front" now, treating coronavirus in phoenix. doctor, when you see what we saw there, in phoenix, your state, a room of thousands of people and

they're not socially distancing and almost no one is wearing a mask. the president isn't wearing a mask. you're going in the e.r. every day. what goes through your head when you see this? >> that is upsetting. i consider myself lucky that you guys have blacked out the screen for me because i would be upset if i saw this. this is what we expect is that people go to this rally and not wear masks and not distance, it is impossible to not spread an infection if you're not distancing. to do this during a pandemic is irresponsible is putting it lightly. it's very dangerous. >> so, when we look at the numbers that i just shared in terms of new cases, in term of hospitalizations and in term of death, a record in each of those three where you are tonight. what are you seeing at your hospital, doctor? >> erin, i think we're going to keep breaking records. and this isn't the kind of record you want to break. the cases are surging and people try claiming that it's because

we're doing more testing. but if we're doing more testing, not only will the positives increase but no will the negatives especially as we're doing more widespread testing of less symptomatic people. but instead our fraction of positive cases are increasing rapidly and i'm seeing it in the e.r. there are lot more patients than a few weeks ago. a lot have influenza-like illness and just about everybody is coming back testing positive for coronavirus. my experience is anecdotal but it matches with the data. i'm concerned it's getting worse. once we plateau which we're not close to in my opinion, once we plateau, the sickness, the decompensation of the patients may happen a couple weeks later. so, i think the worst of it is yet to come. that's the scary part. >> and who you are seeing come into the e.r.? have you seen some shifts? >> you know, one of the things about the virus is unlike humans the virus isn't racist or gender preferenced. it fits everyone, whatever race or gender.

there are certain groups more at risk and the reason i bring this up is because in arizona we have a lot of retirees and a lot of snow birds. people in ar arz who areizona wd above and have covid have 58 times chance of dying from it. so, as dr. gupta mentioned even if you think you're young and healthy and immune, it's not a good assessment because i'm seeing young patients come in very sick. but two, they can spread it to people at risk where immunocompromised or elderly or plethora of patients. we have a lot of elderly patients in arizona. it's concerning. i'm seeing all of them and the older ones more likely to die which is really, really upsetting. >> so the president is holding this rally in this church where he's got hows of people. the leaders of the church -- the president -- the leaders of the church said in a video on facebook yesterday that they had a unique air filtration system,

doctor, that would kill, they said, 99.9% of covid within 10 minutes. so, you turn it on, 99% of covid is gone, killed, if it is there in the first place. you can know when you come there you'll be safe. they did pull that video down. the company that does the hvac says they have never heard of such a thing. but what do you make of that? these are the leaders of this institution telling people it's 99.9% safe. >> yeah. that's upsetting on so many levels as a physician, a researcher, somebody who's gone to company's website. they used a surrogate measure. they didn't use covid in patients. they would need a big patient population to prove that. they never have. and even if it were 99.9% efbltive, nothing about filtration is novel first of all. we've been filtering air for years. even if it were that effective the only way it would work is if i'm standing 100 feet from you

and if i cough or laugh hopefully the filtration system picks it up between me and now. but a rally is not even 6 feet. so, if somebody laughs and has covid, the person next to them who catches that laugh now is sick. there's no way this filtration system to magically like "star wars" zap it out. >> they are not even one feet away and they're using their respiratory systems. >> it's very concerning. >> doctor, i appreciate your time. i do. i know our viewers do as well and we wish you the best as we know what you are fighting right now. >> stay safe and thank you for sending the message. >> next the breaking news, the fbi an update about nascar's only black driver and the noose in his garage. plus obama teaming up with biden talking to supporters.

breakig news, the fbi saying the noose found in the nascar garage was not a hate crime against bubba wallace, the only black racer on nascar's top circuit. alexander, this is a headline of course everybody is now trying to find out what happened here. what did the fbi find? >> absolutely erin, they dispatched 15 fbi agents who said there was no evidence of a race act, even that bubba wallace had been targeted. nascar says the fbi report concludes and photographic evidence confirms that the garage door pull fashioned like a noose had been there since as early as last fall, obviously well before the 43 team's arrival and garage assignment. therefore no charges in this case. this is the end of it. the investigation now concludes. of course this comes after the nascar community, other drivers, had rallied around wallace. the discovery of this apparent

noose had called on wallace to ban confederate flags at their events. nascar followed suit. wallace also had a car with black lives matter em bla sonned on it. no crime was committed, again a garage door pull broke apparently. >> and it had been there before anyone who would have known he was in that garage. obviously really good news that wasn't what it appeared to be and good news that the community rallied so strongly behind mr. wallace. this comes as friends and family today say their final good-byes to rayshard brooks, the man killed by officers in the wendy's parking lot. >> reporter: a somber scene as rayshard brooks is laid to rest. hundreds filled ebenezer baptist

church to pay respects to the man shot and killed by an atlanta police officer earlier this month. >> he radiated such a bright right that regardless of the cowardly act that took his life, his light will never be dim. >> reporter: it was an emotional afternoon commemorating the life of the 27-year-old father. >> this is the family we come from. we didn't have a lot of anything, but we had a whole lot of love for each other. >> reporter: and provided a backdrop for a larger conversation on racism. >> this time the answer is not more diversity and inclusion. it's now time for black lives matter. >> hands up, don't shoot! >> reporter: brooks death comes amid systematic racism and police brutality and after george floyd died in the custody of the minneapolis police. >> george floyd complied, rayshard brooks ran, yes, that's

true. but they are both dead. and therein is the problem. >> reporter: brooks was shot in the back my officer garrett rolfe, one of the officers who responded to a call of a man asleep in his car at a wendy's parking lot. video of the incident shows him running away after resisting arrest and grabbing one of the officer's tasers. >> there's a [ bleep ] taser. >> reporter: rolfe is facing a felony murder charge. he says he heard a gunshot and stau a flash and fired his weapon fearing his safety. officer devin bronson is charged with aggravated assault telling the "atlanta journal of constitution" telling he would not have done anything different that night. i have 100% faith the truth will come out, people will see this for what it is. i didn't do anything wrong. but for many, the circumstances are a symptom of a larger

problem. >> no matter the race, let's treat each other the way we want to be treated as people. let's love everyone and fight for everyone's rights. >> reporter: erin, if you think about this the most powerful voice today was the voice of the youth. that young lady spoke so much power into that room, so many people crying. when you think about this, brooks leaves behind three daughters, 8, 2 and 1 and you have a stepson he had. a lot of people are focused on the young people and what they felt moving forward. it was a tough day especially inside that church, erin. >> all right, ryan, thank you. next i want to go to reverend rafael. i appreciate your time. i mean, you know, watching you today, you've said that you have had to give these kinds of speeches far too often and yet you then said you hadn't lost hope. how come?

>> we can't afford to lose hope. we have to keep fighting the good fight. and although it is a dark and difficult moment, i think that there are good reasons to have hope. and i'm inspired by the young people that ryan and others referenced. we are seeing an amazing coalition of conscience marching out on to american streets demanding that our country do better and that it rises up to its high idealism. and i'm encouraged. i think that we will continue to see this kind of activism throughout the summer, and i'm hopeful then that it will translate into voting in november. that is a sure way of pushing forward meaningful change. >> you know, as you know, a lot of people have tried to understand what happened there, and no one truly does yet. one thing we keep hearing about is that this had been peaceful for almost half an hour, right?

the officers and mr. brooks. and then suddenly mr. brooks runs away from police. and in your eulogy, you said you understood why. here is part of how you explain it. >> if your skin is the weapon and your complexion is the crime, what do you do to stay alive? comply like george floyd or run like rayshard brooks? i'm not asking for a friend. i'm asking for myself. >> it's deeply personal for you. >> it is. i grew up in public housing down in savannah, georgia, and i spend a lot of time now as a pastor in the community and just moving around as an african-american man myself. i know what it's like to be marched through a grocery store as a teenager accused of

shoplifting simply because i had my hands in my pocket. you know, it was a chilly day and marched through the grocery store and then released without an apology. i know that pain and that humiliation. and we're seeing these kinds of things show up in every day -- this is part of everyday african-american life. but in recent days we're seeing a public conversation about it across races and i think that's important to help. >> so, you talk about the protesters and your hopes this will continue through the summer and there will be real change. you know, the president came out today with retweeting a video appearing to show a black man harassing a white man. his comment was look what's going on here. where are the protesters. he retweeted another account of a black man pushing a white woom into the side of a car asking, quote, where are the protests for this? what do you say to the president

and those images? >> he is the divider in chief. he is engaged in the politics of division because he has no vision. what we have to do is we have to rise above those who engage in looting and those who tweet about shooting as the president did a few weeks ago. he hasn't been helpful and i've long lost any expectation that he would be helpful. the truth is we've been dealing with these issues before donald trump was president. we as a nation have to look deeply inward. this is an inflection point. i think there are things coming to the surface that have always been there. thanks to cell phones and cameras everywhere, people are beginning to see it and i'm encouraged by the response that we're seeing in the streets and also at the ballot box. last tuesday, we saw an amazing turnout in the georgia primary

that surpassed 2016. i think there's a lot of passion out there and commitment. and the more people participate, the healthier our democracy. >> reverend, i appreciate your time and i thank you very much. you know, as you mentioned, the ballot box, it is election night now in two key states. and these are really big races to watch. there could be big upsets in both. we're going to talk about that after a break. and former president obama returning to the campaign trail appearing with joe biden for the first time. >> there's nobody i trust more to be able to heal this country and get it back on track than my dear friend joe biden. trillions of them. that's why centrum contains 24 key nutrients to support your energy. so you can take care of what matters most. and try new centrum minis today.

tonight we're watching two major races in kentucky. voters are deciding who is going to take on the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. and in new york, a powerful committee chairman could lose the seat he's held over 30 years after an embarrassing hot mic moment. jeff zeleny is "out front."

>> reporter: on that much, democrats agree. but as voters cast ballots today in kentucky, they're divided over what kind of democrat that should be. >> get rid of senator mitch mcconnell. >> amy is the favorite of the washington party establishment, but the decision is now in the hands of kentucky voters. >> we're gone win this race. >> reporter: state representative charles book erin cysting a progressive candidate stands a better chance of defeating mitch mcconnell. >> there's a mountain blocking your progress and that mountain is mitch mcconnell. >> reporter: on another day of voting in america, a national reckoning on race is being felt across the political landscape with establishment figures on edge, the senate primary in kentucky and congressional one in new york are signs the tug of war is very much alive inside the democratic party. >> it's time for a change. >> reporter: jamal bowman, a bronx middle school principal, launchi launching against eliot engel.

protests over racial justice and police brutality are now a central part of political reality too. in kentucky, clifford's candidacy gained momentum after joining the protests after the killing of breonna taylor. >> i think people are aware of how interconnected we are. i think they're more ready to receive the truth that injustice is pervasive and that structural racism is real. >> reporter: and bowman getting a serious look after engel was caught at a hot mic addressing the protests following the death of george floyd. bowman and booker won the backing of elizabeth warren and bernie sanders and pushing for change. engel is supported by hillary clinton and if nancy pelosi and mcgrath by chuck schumer. while the primary campaigns end today, voting in the age of

pandemic requires patience. neither kentucky nor new york plans to release full results tonight. now, kentucky's secretary of state michael adams told me today he believes this will be a record setting turnout for a primary election largely because of absentee ballots and vote by mail. that did not stop a bit of comotion here moments before the polls were closing and after. there were a few hundred people standing here behind me banging on the doors to be allowed to come in. a judge ruled that the polls should stay open 30 more minutes here just at this one location. we will have the final results of this probably not until a week. but voting in the age of a pandemic, certainly so different when all emotions certainly are so high. >> all right, jeff, thank you very much. crucial races to watch. barack obama back on the trail for the first time this election with joe biden. >> this is serious business. whatever you've done so far is

not enough. and tennis star novak djokovich who wasn't social distancing now has coronavirus. he's speaking out tonight. ual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? i should get a quote. do it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪
