welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm john king in washington. thank you for sharing a busy news day with us. president trump celebrating after an appeals case orders a case against michael flynn dismissed. this hour, a big vote for the police reform package in the senate. democrats say the republican bill is not salvageable, their word, and threaten to block the measure. if they do, derailing an already difficult process.

action here in washington on police misconduct. and in in a few moment, quitting the roger stone case will tell congress, speak out loud, what's beens wi whispered washington for quite some time. roger stone was treated differently because of his relationship with the president. and perished already from the coronavirus and the president says the virus is fading away. numbers tell us something very different. florida reported 5,500 new cases from yesterday. another one-day high for florida. check out the map. 26 states -- 26 -- recording new cases this week more than last week. this is very important. average of new cases today right now just below 30,000. that is right about near the pandemic worst level we hit here in the united states back in april. the president says it's because we're testing more. calling testing a double-edged sword. dismissing, despite what all experts say, the value of testing to guiding the pandemic

response. we begin with the surge in cases, new york, new jersey and connecticut last hour announcing new travel restrictions on people coming from states where cases are spiking. our senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen takes us inside. elizabeth? >> reporter: john, this is how bad this has gotten. some states saying, hey, forget about coming from other countries. that's bad enough, in some cases, but people even with the united states, we're going to quarantine them when they cross into our state border. take a look at the list of states who, where people will face a quarantine if they come in to new york, new jersey, connecticut. those states are alabama, arkansas, arizona, florida, north carolina, south carolina, washington, utah and texas. now, john, we e no the expression, the devils in the details. perhaps it's never been more true than with this situation. how are they going to know when people come in to new york or connecticut or new jersey from one of these states? stopping people on highways? in case they're driving in?

when they fly in, going to ask people what states have you been in, in the past 14 days? are they going to trust their answers? this is not a situation where you have a passport that you can look at. how will they know who's coming to them from those states? and then once they do quarantine them, who's checking to make sure that they hold to that quarantine? people break quarantine all the time. you have to be really, really consistent and persistent about this. there are some countries that have quarantined people effectively, but those country have been vigilant about making sure people hold to the quarantine. how will new york, new jersey and connecticut do the same? john? >> important. we have to watch the details how they put this into play. the fact they're doing it, to your point, tells you there's quite a bit of concern in those states. big developments in court. judge emmet sullivan must dismiss the case against michael flynn with no scrutiny from the

justice departmented warranted. and somewhat related, a pair of justice department attorneys what they call political influence at the highest levels of the doj. with me to mayor is insictsdisc guests. every bit is knuble incluintere. judge says, wait. i want to look into this. hires hires an attorney to help and a higher court says, let it go. why? >> at the discretion of the justice department whether or not to dismiss the charges, just as it is in discretion of the justice department, prosecutors, to bring their case in the first place. as you know, the justice department did a review of this and attorney general bill barr ordered them to drop the charges saying that there were new documents and new internal

discussions that were discovered that indicate the essentially this case should not have been brought. this wasn't new. information the flynn defense had well before any of this happened. so what has been unusual is the fact that bill barr ordered a review of this case for a defendant has had already pled guilty twice, as you pointed out. the judge said let me take a look. appointed a judge to decide whether or not flynn should be charged for contempt of court for perjury. the appeals court is simply saying, look, drop this simply because this is not the role of the judge. this is the role of the justice department. didn't really take a look at the arguments that flynn was making that the fbi was against imhad. that the fix was in. that he was tricked into lying to the fbi. all of those things didn't really matter to this appeals

court, and, greg, i say it's somewhat related because a similar issue. judge sullivan clearly wants to know why, top level of the justice department decided to pull out the rug from the michael flynn case and secondly, house will hear in a few minutes from aaron zielinski, one of the prosecutors, a career prosecutor who says handling the roger stone case, another mueller case like the flynn case was, word came down to him back off a little. push for a lighter sentence. this is -- his impression, this is a longtime friend of the president. i need to be careful. >> right. that's right, john. so what we saw in the flynn case is the situation where the facts really didn't support the department's decision in any way, and the most important of those facts, i would submit, were the two guilty -- the two admissions in open court by mr. flynn himself of his guilt, but end of the day, the court of

appeals decided that whether and how to or not to prosecute a case is exclusively within the power of doj to decide. so that fundamental issue will be on the table today with respect to the hearing in the house judiciary committee this morning. this afternoon. where we have a record of the department having made certain decisions with respect to certain cases, and we have now two insiders, attorneys, who worked on those cases, those investigations, coming forward to say that the decisions the department made were based on politics, and so this is an unprecedented sort of thing for doj attorneys to be doing. i'm sure there will be many interesting questions by the committee members. we'll see how it plays out in the hearing today. >> right. we need to see how it plays out. to greg's point about unprecede unprecedented, house democrats are trying to get the attorney general in the chair.

unsuccessful so far but want bill barr to answer the questions straight up. are you the president's lawyer or the country's lawyer? >> greg laid out what's so unusual. until now i would say that the department, you could hear sitting of the justice department, you know, you get a sense people were perhaps a little bothered by the attorney general's rhetoric sometimes, but they by and large gave him benefit of the doubt. that is pretty much gone, john. i think the way he handled the ouster of the manhattan u.s. attorney over the weekend. and, of course, intervention in these cases, that it seems the attorney general only gets involved in cases that have to do with people that the president likes, the president's friends. things that matter to the president. that's the impression you get. and i think that is what bothers people in this building. the fact you have two career, you know, prosecutors now appearing before a house hearing is something that i can't remember seeing in a long, long time. and it gives you the sense that the department here is slipping

away from the attorney general. it's something that should bother him a lot, because, you know, you can't really run this place if you don't have the support of the 110,000 employees. it's a very difficult job to do when people essentially don't trust you. i think that's what the attorney general is facing and i think democrats realize that that is an issue and i think they want to hear from him. we don't know whether he'll show up for this hearing, i think democrats are asking him to do, but you can bet they have a lot of questions that they want him to answer on that. >> and so, greg, rightly you called the climate in this testimony today unprecedented. help explain it to people out there in the country watching who if they're a trump supporter, for example, the president and am lllies will sa it's nancy pelosi, liberals, stirring up, stirring up old stuff. explain to people out there in the country who might just feel this is another washington --

use tougher words. another washington episode. call it that. why this matters, why it's so important? >> it's unusual to have department lawyers appearing at a hearing like this, and it's important, because it gets to the core of what doj is supposed to be all about. which is the rule of law and independence from politics in terms of how it decides to do investigations and to bring prosecutions. so there is, as you say, a feeling out there of, a belief out there, amongst the -- within congress certainly and around the country that doj has become politicized. whether or not that's true really depends, in my view, upon the attorney general's ability to come forward and explain to congress and explain to the american people why that is not the case, and so to the extent he does not try to do that or is not able to do that effectively, the feeling, the belief, will

remain that cases are being prosecuted based upon political motivations, and that is a terrible situation for doj to find itself in. what the founders contemplated, i think, john, is that, that even though doj has the power to make these decisions, to the extent they're made for political reasons it's up to congress to provide a check, do oversight. we see that happening today and ultimately up to the american people to decide whether or not that's true and to vote accordingly. >> the art of the segue right there. greg, thank you. evan as well. greg noted, american people get a voice in that that comes 130 days from now, when the president's election is. the president, lucky he has time. look at polls today, he would lose.

132 days until america votes

in america. picks the president. polling today, president would lose. latest numbers. from the "new york times" cnn college poll. among all registered voters joe biden has a 14 point lead. 50% would vote for the former vice president. the democrat. 36% say vote for the republican incumbent president of the united states. women, big gender gap. joe biden lead among women. 55% to 33%. in the middle, independents, whopping big lead there again. more than 20 points joe biden there. president trump does lead among white voters with no college degree but that's not as big a margin as among that group, important part of his base, against hillary clinton back in 2016. look at that. 14 point nationally among registered voters. pollsters, talk to a couple saying look more at likely numbers. still bad numbers for the president. impression of these candidates? 52% registered voters, all voters, favorable impression of joe biden. only 40%.

four in ten say it about the incumbent. only four in ten, a problem for the president. white voters both 47% view both of these, each of these candidates favorable. among black voters with racial reckoning in the news, look at this. 8 in 10 black voters have a favorable impression of joe biden. only 6% of the current president of the united states. and so if you look at these numbers, favoring democrats. last night former president obama making a fund-raising push for joe biden urging democrats, do not get complacent. >> so bottom line is, i appreciate all of you being on this call. but -- man. this is serious business. whatever you've done so far is not enough. and i hope myself and michelle and our kids, held to that same standard. whatever we've done so far to

get joe biden elected, we have to do more. >> walk through the numbers. two of my favorite pollsters, democrat pollster and republican pollster. normally would be ladies first guy but neil start with the republican. these numbers are horrible for the president. miserable for the president. just are. sure you're not going to dispute that. do you see him doing things to fix it? you've worked on a number of campaigns including presidential campaigns. when numbers are in the tank, go to the candidate and the team say here's the problem, what we need to fix it. you hear the president in recent days, is he addressing his weaknesses? >> first thing the campaign's got to do, you can't panic in a situation like this. you're not going to make up a 14-point margin overnight. that's just not going to happen. it's like a, kind of like a sports analogy. down 14 points in a basketball game at half, sure as he cannot going to make it up in the first five minutes of the second half. it's going to take some time. you set goals. you set a goal for where you

want to be in the convention. set a goal where you want to be at the -- at the date of the first debate and then the last two weeks of the campaign. i mean, this is -- it's a real challenge for these guys, but keep in mind. john, keep in mind, your last segment you talked about the incredible, unprecedented political environment. the crises that this president's had to deal with. dealing with a pandemic threatening health of americans. dealing with a recession, impacts pocketbooks. 40% of americans either lost there job or pay or wages cut. now the national protests in the whole issue of racial injustice. any one of these three would consume an administration. and president trump's got all three on his platter right now. a huge challenge. >> and i think to neil's point, when you have challenges like this, a pandemic is horrible. the recession, we may just be coming out of it, still the economic paralysis is horrible.

racial unrest unsettling. elements that make you want change, something different. don't want what you have. going through the president's approval ratings. disapprove, 56%. tough at an incumbent. there's time, but it's tough. 58% disapprove of the president. economy just above water. barely. and race relations women underwater. 61% disapprove. when you look -- as the democratic pollster, when you look at those numbers, a., if you were advising this president how do you change numbers like that? and, b., what does joe biden have to do to keep that contrast in focus? people don't like what they got to prove that you're what they want? >> well, i mean, you'd advise the president to do the opposite of what he does and what he's doing. advise him to speak with empathy to the families of the millions of people unemployed, of the over 100,000 deaths due to coronavirus. to the families of people who

have been, suffered from police brutality. that's what you would advise him to do. instead he tries, usually using sports analogies, to work the ref talking polling numbers. when he sees polling he doesn't like, he doubts the polling. that's, you know, not really a persuasive message for swing voters. he's not doing any of the things. he seems to feel by reaching out to a dwindling percentage of folks who actually are enthusiastic about his demeanor and temperament, i think a myth that his base really enjoys seeing ak strong and appealing leadership, but actually a lot of republicans are nose holders, don't like that but agree with him on policies. he can't grow that percentage that finds this appealing. by speaking to that group, that does find it appealing, he turns off the rest of america. you've seen that in the numbers. there's incredible intensity in the opposition towards him.

about half disapprove strongly of his position, half disapproves, very unfavorable toward him are numbers that have been like this for a long time. i don't know how he changes that, unless he become as completely different person altogether. the biden campaign should be doing is what they are doing. which is speaking to democrats around the country to show strength by bringing the democratic team together. by reaching out to the, to americans across the board. not just to democrats, but to everybody. and to demonstrate capacity for empathy and understanding, and to say this is time to really turn the page at this really tough moment in our nation's history. >> great to see you both. good to talk politics. continue the conversation in the days ahead. a quick break. right now in the united states senate they're beginning to vote. a procedural vote whether or not republicans can bring their police reform bill up for debate. we'll be right back. was that your great-aunt,

the new national urgency for police reforms about to crash into old washington gridlock. the senate voting to bring to the floor a senate proposal, a republican police reform bill the democrats say falls short of what's needed. the question, can they begin the debate? manu raju is live on capitol hill. do they have the votes? >> reporter: no.

democrats lining up to block the bim and expect to do that. they need 60 votes to begin debate of the republican plan. democrats say it falls short of this moment. they are instead demanding talks to occur on a bipartisan basis before this debate is open. republicans are saying let's just get on the bill and you democrats can have a chance to offer amendments, try to change it and make a decision later on. the two sides are squabbling over process. as a result, it's likely no police reform measure will be enacted this year. now, there are some democrats who are expected to vote to open debate. joe manchin, the west virginia democrat, told reporters he plans to vote to proceed. another democratic independent caucus, angus king told me he's thinking about voting, yes. we'll see if he ultimately does. the vote is's hassing right now. there are differences between the house bill and the one offered by democrats and the republican bill offered by tim scott of south carolina.

namely, whether or not there should be federal mandates at all. democrats have a federal pan ban on chokeholds, for instance. republicans on the other hand incentivize states to ban chokeholds and other tactics by withholding funds. also there are, in the democratic plan, changes to so-called qualified immunity making it easier to sue police in civil court. republicans are silent on that. nancy pelosi, house speaker, says that bill is not salvageable. democratic leaders in the senate, republicans say, well, why don't we have a chance to discuss it on the floor? so, john, as a result we are in a moment in which calls for action are happening across the country. in the wake of george floyd's death, but congress is mired in this gridlock and as a result what could happen, congress is likely nothing as we head into the campaign season and both sides see little chance of a compromise happening as the

president himself sided with the republican plan and called for republicans to reject the democrats. john? >> manu raju on the hill. this looks like it will stall for now. see if it can be revived. telling you throughout the day, coronavirus cases trending up in 26 states. as that happens dr. anthony fauci is earn canned about the disturbing surge of infections. members of the coronavirus task force temperatures yesterday. some say weeks since they last spoke to the president. now to discuss, senior white house correspondent kaitlan collins. start with that. play the sound from yesterday. 26 states heading in the wrong direction right now. florida, a very important state to the president heading upwardwaupward. another record. texas, another record. listen to members of his leader sh's team on coronavirus. hey, when's the last time you talked to the pandemicy affecting the country with the president of the united states?

>> dr. fauci, when was the last time you spoke to the president? >> about two and a half weeks ago. >> and when was the last time you spoke to the president? >> it was about two and a half weeks ago as well. maybe three weeks ago. >> and honorable han, when was the last time you spoke to the president about the pandemic and response? >> some time since i spoke about the pandemic response. >> how do they explain that at the white house? that the president of the united states doesn't talk to his experts about a pandemic that continues to have a devastating impact on the country he leads and the country he's trying to lead for for more years? >> reporter: you didn't see the cdc director also testifying wouldn't even say when was the last time he had spoken directly to the president. while dr. fauci did say he speaks to the vice president, mike pence, that a task force meeting is happening today with the members. the fact they're not talking to the particular ed is a cause for concern here, because the question is, you know, who is he getting his information from? is he getting the complete

picture and how is that affecting the decisions he's making to travel? to welcome his first foreign leader here today at the white house since march. all of these things where the particular ed is seemingly putting the pandemic in the rearview mirror and moving forward trying to get back to this normalized schedule as his own health officials say the virus isn't dieing out at the president claims. you see a disturbing surge of cases happening here in over 20 states. >> and a cnn political analyst joins the conversation as well. margaret, i guess i just, i know the answer, but how can they defend anytime, particularly in an election year, the fact the president has lost interest? there's a pandemic sweeping country. in many states going up dramatically now. that doesn't mean it can't be managed. doesn't mean catastrophe but means concern and he's just like, whatever. >> john, great to be with you, and the, yes. the president signaled weeks ago he really wanted to pivot back

to the economy and stop talking about infection rates every day and that's what he's been doing. we've seen him at rallies trying to get everyone to refocus, but we do this regular polling every week to understand how america is feeling about the pandemic, and we had an interesting result this week. we asked pollsters to overlay states with the fastest growth in infection rate. talking about, like, oklahoma, texas, florida. to rooverlay that against how folks are feeling. red states mostly, georgia, south carolina. in those states, once the spike came, it's not the second wave. the first wave for a lot of these places. once the spike came people began modifying their behavior. seeing 85% of country say they are afraid of the second wave. 85% is not a partisan number. that's a bipartisan number. the risk for the particular ed is that there are enough republicans or independents who

are potential swing voters who just don't think that he's managing this competently or seriously enough. >> and you get to a number that high, that is a climate that people want something different and don't like what they have. listen, kaitlan, an issue about dr. fauci, former president obama weighing in yesterday at an event for joe biden saying, well, let's listen to him here, empathy, i'll call it, for dr. fauci. >> unlike our current president we recognize that we have a public health crisis going on and have top listen to public health experts and -- poor dr. fauci, who's having to testify, and -- and then see his advice clouded by the person he's working for. >> i'll say for the record, dr. fauci said in a podcast the white house listening to him. when he wants to say things, but also we know just from the

president in that church in arizona yesterday, president, rally in oklahoma over the weekend, he is not doing what dr. fauci recommends. he says the single most important thing to do now stay away from crowds and wearing a masks? >> reporter: yes. the president is inviting crowds. upset there weren't that many people he expected saturday night. you saw how closely packed in the people were in arizona yesterday as the president was addressing that room and the president also is not wearing a mask ever. two things dr. fauci and other experts said. wearing a mask in public is the thing to do and do not go into big crowds if you can avoid them. the president is doing neither of those. so maybe they are listening to fouch iz whauci how to handle c things when it comes to testingtesting. in those instances the president is not. president obama bluntly said hout how the president is handling this. the concern for president trump, the polls showing voters do not approve the way the president is

handling this. it's not just one poll. several major national polls. a cnn poll, a "new york times" poll, a fox news poll. all of these polls saying that the majority of voters do not approve of the president's handling of the pandemic, and you see joe biden benefit from that, and sometimes get double digit leads over the president. so the concern for the president's political advisers is that he isn't handling this, and other aspects, of course, in the right way. they're concerned there's not that much time before the election saying anything could happen in the next four months. also maybe it, the landscape won't change that much in the next four months. that's their concern. >> see if the numbers change. >> safe to say, poor dr. fauci bumper stickers in the not too distant future among biden fans as well. >> some do try to make, i don't know if comedy's the right word but light of the situation. thanks for your time today. quick break. we'll be right back.
