action, this bill again, but expect to move on to other matters before heading to july 4th recess after next week. >> focus on action and see if washington answers it. not today. manu, live from the hill. thanks for joining u. ining us breaking news day. brianna keilar is up next. have a good day. hello. i'm brianna keilar and i welcome viewers here in the united states and around the world. as coronavirus cases and hospitalati hospitalizations surge across america a dramatic initiative to stop the virus in new york, new jersey and connecticut pap short time ago governor andrew cuomo announced new restrictions for travelers coming from states with spikes in coronavirus cases. >> we're announcing today a joint travel advisory. people coming in from states that have a high infection rate must quarantine for 14 days.

we have a calibration for the infection rate, and any state that goes over that infection rate, that state will be subject to the quarantine. it's only for the simple reason that we worked very hard to get the viral transmission rate down. we don't want to see it go up, because a lot of people come in to this region, and they could literally bring the infection with them. >> so how is all of this going to work? cnn's alexander field is in new york to tell us. how would they implement this? >> reporter: hey there, brianna. we're marrying from the governors this is a travel advisory, it will be the personal responsibility of people who chooses to come to new york, connecticut or new jersey to take this seriously and to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival in the state. the governor of new york is saying that people who choose to violate that quarantine and are found out would then face

judicial orders, could face fines in the thousands of dollars and a mandatory quaranti quarantine. these are the states affect today. alabama, arkansas, arizona, florida, north and south carolina, washington, utah and texas. all states with high infection rates. it you're coming from those states you will have to do the quarantine. brianna, this is not a fixed list. this list will, of course, change as the infection rate in states around the nation changes. but really, this is a pretty remarkable 180. we're talking about the region initially hit hardest by this virus. we're talking about a place where other states, traveling from new york, you have to quarantine, if you travel out of new york and now seeing a reversal. speaking to the fact new york and this region has been able to lower their numbers so drastically at a time we're seeing cases rise and spike in other states around the nation. >> all right. alexandra, thank you for walking us through that.

other states making desperate calling for residents to stay home, wearing a masks, keep their distance. the curve is unflattening. live in to the key reactions. >> here to testify about the united states versus roger stone. i apologize for not appearing before you in person, and i thank the committee for allowing me to appear remotely today. for family reasons, i should not risk infection. as the chairman mentioned i'm privileged to serve as an assistant united states attorney. a non-partisan career prosecutor. our job is to see that justice is done in every case, without fear or favor, without party or politics. it's unusual for prosecutors like myself to testify about a criminal case, and as outlined further in my writen remarks there may be reasons why my testimony will be limited in some respects. the department of justice has cleared me today to discuss matters related to the roger

stone sent encesentencing. let me now turn to the stone case. the first thing every ausa learns that we treat every defendant equally and fairly. in the united states of america, we do not prosecute people base and politics, and we don't cut them a break based on politics either. but that wasn't what happened here. roger stone was treated differently, because of politics. at the time of these events, february of 2020, i was a career assistant united states attorney, as i am proud to be now. i was not privy to discussions with political leadership at the department of justice. understanding what happened is based on two things. what i saw and what i heard. what i saw was roger stone was being treated differently from every other defendant. he received breaks that are, in my experience, unheard of. and all the more so for a

defendant in his circumstances. a defendant who lied to congress, who remained unrepentant and made threats against a judge and a witness in his case, and what i heard repeatedly was that this leniency was happening because of stone's relationship to the president. that the acting u.s. attorney for the district of columbia was receiving heavy pressure from the highest levels of the department of justice and that his instructions to us were based on political considerations, and i was told that the acting u.s. attorney was giving stone a break because he was afraid of the president of the united states. i believe that was wrong and together with my fellow aligning prosecutors i immediately and repeatedly said so. unfortunately our objection was not heed. first we were pressured to reduce the initial sentences guidelines calculation for mr. stone without any clear, legal rationale for doing so. when we refused to go along were instructed to disregard the guidelines entirely and

recommend and unspecified lower sentence for mr. stone. i was told to the best of anyone's recollection, such a recommendation has never been made by the fraud and corruption section of the united states attorneys' office. when we again refused we were told we could be fired if we didn't go along. i notified the office that i intended to withdraw from the case rather than file a memo that was a result of wrongful political pressure, and while all of this happened i was repeatedly told the department's actions were not based on the law or the facts but rather on political considerations. mr. stone's political relationships, and that the acting u.s. attorney was afraid of the president. shortly after i informed the office of my intonight withdraw office leadership changed its position and allowed us to file a sentencing memorandum properly calculated and seeking of guideline sentence. filed and heard nothing until that evening. at 2:48 that morning the president tweeted the sentencing memo was horrible and very

unfair. and cannot allow this miscarriage of justice. later that day we learned the department was going to issue a new sentencing memorandum mischaracterizes the application of the sentencing guidelines and asking for an open-ended downward departure for mr. stone. we weren't aloud to see the new proposed memo and weren't told who was writing it. at this point i made a difficult choice to resign from the case and my assignment in the u.s. attorneys' office in d.c. i resigned because following orders would have violated the oath i swore when i took my job. to be clear, my concern is not with the sentence mr. stone received. i am not here to criticize a sentence or reason. the department of justice treated roger stone differently from everyone else, and i was told that the department cut roger stone a break because of his relationship to the president. i take no satisfaction in publicly criticizing the actions of the department of justice, where i have spent most of my

legal career. i have always been and remain proud to be an assistant united states attorney. it pains me to describe these events. as judge sakz said, the truth still matter so i'm here today to tell you the truth. i would be pleased to answer your questions. >> thank you very much. we will now proceed under the five-minute rule -- >> you're listening there to aaron zielinski, former prosecutor of roger stone who resigned from the case after, under pressure from the president's tweets that roger stone the sentencing guideline was too much. even though it was very standard as we heard zielinski. that recommend was downgraded forcing him to resign from the case and his position in the doj because he said it would have violated the only he swore when he took the job if he were to continue. i bring our gloria borger and

former fib fbi general counsel. gloria, he talks about even before his initial filing of what was a pretty standard sentencing recommendation for roger stone, there had been drama behind the scenes, and he actually had talked about stepping down from the case before then. what did you think about what you heard here from aaron zielinski? >> well, i think it's kind of stunning testimony from somebody who currently works for the justice department. remember, he resigned from this case, but not from the justice department. and what he said at the beginning of his testimony is, i am only going to tell you what i saw and what i heard. and what he heard and what he saw were people saying that we were going to treat roger stone

differently, because of his relationship with the president of the united states. and clearly he feels strongly enough about that to be a whistle-blower and to say that following the directions of what they wanted him to do would have been in violation of his oath to the justice department. and he said, quite frankly, look, they cut him a break. they cut him a break, and he believes they shouldn't have done that. now, he said, look. i'm not going to argue. people disagree all the time about sentencing guidelines. however, the reason he is upset and the reason he left the case is because the differences werable politicwere ab about politics and not about the law. >> he said, greg, this was unheard of, the way that roger stone was treated. >> yeah. >> unheard of, greg, to him and to folks around him working in the u.s. attorneys' office?

>> well, in my experience i would agree with that as a former federal prosecutor, i can tell you that typically the way that sentencing recommendations are made by the department is to seek the, the maximum sentence that's allowable under the guidelines. the sentencing guidelines. the judge makes the ultimate decision, but federal prosecutors, in my experience, are not known to pull punches or take it easy on defendants when it comes to the recommended senten sentence. that is what zielinski is saying here. we actually know that that happened. we didn't know when it happened several weeks ago. we didn't know exactly why he is coming forward with his understanding of why the department did that. there will be a lot of questions, of course, by committee members today to kind of drill down on the details, but this is unprecedented, in my experience, that a line prosecutor from doj would come forward with this sort of information for the congress.

>> and evan, aaron zielinski essentially said that. it's very unusual for him to be there in this role. i guess i wonder what does this mean going forward, though? even though there is this congressional oversight. what's going to be done about this? >> look, i think we know that the attorney general has now agreed to testify before the house judiciary committee at the end of july. july 28th. that just -- the department just announced that. so we know that at least in about a month's time the attorney general will answer some questions and you can bet this is going to be one of them. one thing that really stands out from this case is this, brianna. the fact is that under the trump administration, beginning with jeff session, the attorney general at the time, they decided they were going to take a tough on crime approach which is that prosecutors did not have permission to do this. to depart from the toughest guidelines, and so what the

prosecutors in this case including what zielinski was doing, they were doing, was following the rules. following the rules of the justice department and would have had to come up with excuses and all kinds of internal reasons to be able to, to go away from that, and so they ended up getting in trouble for following the rules that are this administration's own rules. one of the things we learned, by the way, in zielinski's statement there, is that he threatened to withdraw from the case, and so in the end, that's why the tough sentencing recommendation was filed in the first place, because he was already behind the scenes saying if year not allowed to do our job i'm going to pull out of it. something we suspected for the case, but for the first time we heard him say that's what was going on behind the scenes. when chastised and publicly rebuked we resigned anyway and

resigned from the case. remarkable turn of events. and one of the prosecutors resigned entirely from the gist gist-justice department. we haven't heard from him. democrats want to keep investigating, a lot more to be answered. >> and our analyst what do you think? yo reaction to what you've heard from aaron zielinski? >> i heard basically what's happening in the justice department is exactly what barr claims he's investigating from the prior administration, which is, investigations that are being motivated by political considerations. you know, the fact somebody would be pressured to take a more lenient stance because they're a friend of the president is just not something that the department of justice does. and i think we also have to see this in the bigger picture here, which is that the former u.s. attorney for d.c. was forced

out. jessie liu. a close associate of barr brought in, and this echoes what he's later tried to do in the southern district of new york. then in addition to the stone case, they are also trying to drop the charges against michael flynn. so there is a systematic attempt to undo the special counsel investigation here as well. >> all right. thank you guiys so much. get back to breaking news as doctors say that coronavirus is spiraling out of control. several states are hitting new records. several of them. new york, new jersey and connecticut are issues restrictions to americans traveling in from states with these high infection rates. this is cnn special live coverage. t now. and right now, is a time for action. so, for a second time we're giving members a credit on their auto insurance. because it's the right thing to do. we're also giving payment relief options to eligible members so they can take care of things like groceries

as we fight the coronavirus pandemic, state officials are making desperate calls for residents to stay home, wearing a masks and keep their distance as 26 states are now unflattening the curve. leading the surge in new cases, you have california, texas, arizona, georgia and florida, and cnn's tom foreman is with me mow. tell us about the trend you're seeing? >> reporter: it's really all over the country but look at that sea of red on the map right now. new cases compared to last week. the only places not at best stable and most getting worse, the dakotas and alaska. west of the mississippi. plenty going on on the east side too. you mentioned five states. look at the number there's. the signal day results from tuesday. california, way over 6,000 cases. texas, way up there, too.

it gets lga little easier arizo, florida and georgia, but still whopping, bad numbers. look at the details of california. look at the average here. look at the -- the change and the trend there in california. you see that spike at the end there? that's the line moving up, and it rockets straight up at the end. exactly what people have not wanted to see. look at texas. the 14-day trend. you see it there as well. those are the states you're hearing more calms of people saying, not only wear a mask all the time, social distance all the time, maybe just ought to stay home. sanjay gupta stated, places that tried to reopen, tried to say let's get back to normal, an awful lot of the good work done early on by people staying home, losing their jobs in some cases. kids not going to school, a lot of that is being undone by too many people rushing out and the numbers are the prove in the pudding. brianna? >> yeah.

the sad lesson we're learning. right? it requires maintenance to keep the numbers down and it's affecting everyone's lives so negatively. tom foreman, thank you. florida is set ag new record for highest number of new cases in a signal day. more than 5,500 new cases just today. going to miami and cnn's rosa flores on this story. at one point looked like florida was doing all right and now this. why are we see ag spike? seeing a spike? >> reporter: one expert put it, brianna, a lot of young people asymptomatic out partying not social distancing or wearing masks and going home and infecting their parents and grandparents and going to work and sharing, spreading the disease with co-workers as well. here in miami-dade, in the past two weeks a 42% increase in hospitalizations. we just talked to the chief of infection control at jackson health. this is a health system that is one of the biggest here in the state of florida.

she says that their hospitalizations reflect that people of all ages are getting hospitalized. when it comes to young people, most of the people ending up at the hospital with covid-19 are obese and also have multiple chronic conditions. now, this physician was very frustrated. she said whenever she sees people out not wearing masks or say they're not having the proper hygiene, not social distanci distancing, it's very frustrating because she's on the front lines and her message is personal. take a listen. >> it's tragic. i've lost family members. i lost my uncle in my icu and the only family member at his bedside when he passed away. i've had family and friends, i have co-workers sick. it's not where you want to be. you don't like wearing a mask you're not going to like wear ag ventilate perp so that's the message. please. this is a public health issue we're at the front lines risking our lives to save others. >> reporter: a very moving

message there from that position. brianna, she says it's not enough for local authorities or for even states to issue mandates for people to wear masks. she says it should be a federal mandate. when the economy is open and people are allowed to go from one state to the other, you need a mandate that comes from the federal government. >> better a mask, as she put it, than a ventilatoventilator. thank you. for more on the disturbing trend of coronavirus cases seen surging in the u.s. i'm joined by internal medicine specialist, doctor, good to see you and get your expertise. you're watching these spikes in states, and what is that going to mean just for everyday life? are we going to have to go into lockdown essentially again? >> well, it may very well mean that and i think it should mean that. listen, right here, i'm in what might be the hot bed. already started to see an increase in the people coming in to my office. over the past week. with symptoms.

people have got to start taking this seriously. older people, young people, we immedia need to stop spreading the myth this is just a disease of older people. young people in their 20s and 30s are getting this. and not only do we need a federal mandate, as the physician from florida, my home state, mentioned, i think a lot of these states including california need to start putting some teeth into their mandates. in other words, fining people who are not following the law. or the mandate which is basically not wearing masks. in public places. listen, we do it for seat belts, for motorcycle helmets. this is no joke, folks. this is no joke. >> it is no joke, and you're seeing in these numbers here younger folks? right, people in their 20s and 30s are getting sick. does that mean that we're going to be seeing, following that, i mine, would you expect we'd see

even more younger people sick, or are we going see older and more vulnerable people kind of people getting sick after that. >> i think we'll see both. of course, the people who end up getting more seriously ill, are the people not just older but have certain medical conditions. obesity, heart disease, diabetes. as an aside, we're wasting so much time during this pandemic not encouraging people to get healthier while we're in lockdown. because that's very important. but 20-year-olds, 30-year-olds, are not immune to this especially if they have underlying conditions. and they're going to be a big vector which is who spreads the disease. yeah, we're going to see sicker younger people and sicker older people. we're going to see sicker people. period. >> the governors of new york, new jersey and connecticut are implementing these new restrictions so that people who are traveling in from states who are having these big spikes. you can see them here on the screen.

washington, utah, arizona, basically across the south. how is that -- do you think that's going to work? because we just flared our reporter it's kind of at first an honor system and then there is going to be some sort of teeth to implementing this. do you think that's going to work? >> i think it's going to implement, seems to be word of the day, teeth if they really do follow-up on it. i commend the tri-state area back east. they have done an incredible job, and, of course, now it's not time to ruin it. listen, hawaii is doing something similar to this. if you're in hawaii, around honolulu, they suspect you are from somewhere else you have to show your driver's license, verify when you came in and you get fined. eventually, new york and new jersey and connecticut are going to have to do that. yes, it's going to worsen. people, this is like taking a little medicine or not finishing your antibiotic prescription. may have helped a little. unless you do it right you will

keep doing this over and over, and we've already lost 120,000 souls in this country. so you know, it's just time to buckle up. >> yeah. because you're not just hurting yourself. right? you're hurting other people as well. doctor, thank you. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> joining us from l.a. the president is making it clear that he is using lies and racism to help win re-election. we're going to discuss that strategy. plus, the national guard in washington, d.c. and wisconsin on standby to protect statues on standby to protect statues and monuments from protesters. achoo! ...do your sneezes turn heads? try zyrtec... ...it starts working hard at hour one... and works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. zyrtec muddle no more. they get that no two people are alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. what do you think? i don't see it. only pay for what you need.

the president once again hold ag campaign event endorse with hundreds of people close together, almost no one wearing a mask. they are not social distancing all talking loudly. some screaming and yelling, proven to spray coronavirus into the air, if someone is sick. this right here is what doctors are calling a perfect storm of a super spreading event, and then let's talk about what the president said here. lies upon lies, and racist rhetoric.

time for a fact check. >> we passed va choice. a big deal. and va accountability, a big deal they've been trying for 50 years, almost 50 years. >> that's a lie. congress passed the veterans access choice and account act act in 2014 before president trump came into office. controversial and signed by then president obama. >> americans don't bow down to foreign powers. we don't back down from left-wing bullies. and the only authority we worship is our god. >> well, the president publicly took vladimir putin's word over that of his intelligence agencies when it came to russia's interference in the 2016 election, and then just this week he admitted that he looked the other way as china puts muslims in concentration

camps ignoring sampgnctions to a better trade deal and trump wanted to intervene in criminal cases to curry favors from dictators. trump also said this, war heroes are not a source of shame. they are an example and something that you can all look up to a true example of greatness. a point of pride. >> those heroes he mentions, he's talking about confederate generals who fought to destroy the united states. trump went on to say this -- >> check out california sometime. check out -- no. check out the, the deal that they signed with judicial rights. it was, i think, judicial watch was, like, 1 million or 1.5 million people. they settled, agreed that that many people either voted illegally, shouldn't have been

voting, a lot of things. >> if you did take a look at it you'd know what the president said there was a lie. the settlement was over inactive voters on registration rules. nothing about actual voting. then this -- >>e sparked a revo domestic energy production in the united states. it's now the number one producer of oil, and natural gas. anywhere on planet earth. america as of a couple of years ago is no longer energy dependent. >> all right. more than a couple years ago, because while production increased under president trump, the u.s. took that number one producer title during the obama presidency around the time that president trump, just donald trump, was pushing the racist birther conspiracy. this is what he had that say about voting. >> the democrats are also trying to rig the election by sending out tense of millions of mail-in

ballots. using the china virus as the excuse for allowing people not to go to the polls. >> he said this many times. we fact checked it many times, but i'm going to do it again. there's zero evidence of widespread fraud involving mail-in vote are or any kind of voting even conservative think tanks looked into this. studies show mail-in voting does not actually help one party over kno another. the president, vice president, family members and. many, many trump advisers have voted by mail many times. >> covid -- covid-19, covid. i say, what's the 19? covid-19? some people can't explain it. >> all right. covid-19 rears to 2019. the year the virus came into being. speaking of the virus -- >> i could give you 19 or 20 names for that. right?

it's got all different names. wuhan. kung flu. kung flu. >> and that is just racist. >> we embrace martin luther king jr. and believe that people should not be judged based on the color of their skin, but the content of their character. >> the president said that as he invoked racist rhetoric as you heard in the very same speech, inside of a church. the president is building his re-election campaign on division and racism. all you have to do look what he says in public to see that. president trump is also accusing former president obama of a crime. watch this from president trump's interview with cvn news. >> arnold palmer and situation, this idea there was, spying on

your campaign. asked before what crime he would have potentially committed but i remember you talking -- >> treason. trees. >> what i was going to ask. >> it's treason. >> joining me, valerie jared former senior adviser for president obama. valerie you hear trump saying that the, that president obama committed treason. what is your reaction to that? >> brianna, unfortunately it is just a pattern of consistently preposterous, unfounded made-up stuff that he uses to try to delegitimize people he thinks are his opponents or to try to distract from one debacle after another on his watch. it's also dangerous. now he has a justice department illiceliciting he treats his la lawyer as his lawyer. a campaign strategy to be

divisive, to try to pull us apart i think is flawed. the numbers don't add up. the vast majority of the american people are not going to fall for this. trying to get these sugar highs from the rallies which he shouldn't be having because of the health rick to families and his staff that has come down with covid-19, he's talking in a way that pulls people away from him. poll numbers are dropping, it's a flawed strategy not to mention just a despicable way for a president to lead our country. >> you said the american people won't fall for this. do you think there is a possibility that maybe this strategy, though, using racist rhetoric and division could actually work? >> i don't. i don't. i'll tell you, part of my hopefulness comes from the demonstrations we've seen around the country. people of all ages, all races, backgrounds, coming together saying we have to heal the

racial wounds. not just between our police and communities of color, but our society, and the polling i've seen show the vast majority, even people in his own party completely understand that. so i think hits approach is one that is designed to excite the very few, but if we can get turnout up, then i do believe that he will not win the election. i don't take that for granted in any way, shape or form, but a do not think that his tone, his rhetoric, his desire to polarize us and incite in many cases anger and hostility towards one another, it's not a winning strategy. more importantly i don't think it's a way that the president of the united states should govern our country. we're a big, diverse country, people from all back grounds and have always been welcoming and are an embarrassment on the world stage. >> you mentioned the polls and said you're not necessarily taking it to the bank, but almost seems like every morning if democrats wake up and are looking at new poll numbers,

when it comes to joe biden, they're feeling better. certainly than they would if going in the other direction. of course, we all saw what happened in 2016. right? do you think that democrats could be overconfident? >> i think 2016 was wake-up call, and there were 100 million who didn't vote in that election and judging what we saw the day of the inauguration, the women's march and march against gun violence and climate march and activism we're seeing in the streets right now, brianna, that bodes well. but we cannot take anything for granted. the other thing that troubles me he's doing now, as he sees numbers dropping he's trying to delegitimize the election calling into question voting by mail. which we should all be doing at a time of a pandemic. look, the military have been voting by mail forever. states like washington state have only vote by mail, as you pointed out. there no evidence that vote by mail leads to vote fraud. why on earth is he doing that?

he's afraid he might lose and if he does he wants to question integrity of our elections. not something we should do in a countriy democracy and irony, if any other country had a leader behaving the way he is behaving, any past president of the united states in our lifetime, brianna, would have called them out on it saying it kwachbt with twasn't h core valuings of a democracy. i hope people will turn out vote in record numbers and send a message what is unacceptable coming from the president of the united states. >> i want to ask you, you were president obama point person when can came to criminal justice. looking at this defund the police rallying cry. do you agree with that? >> what i think, legitimate frustration and anger. for way too long we expected law enforcement to solve our societal problems. look at the budgets of many

agencies around the country, we spent a lot of money on law enforcement. why weren't re investing in our schools, creating opportunities for economic development and growth? why aren't we retraining our work force for the jobs of tomorrow? why don't we have a better health care system? covid-19 is many of the health scares in our country and parts of americans still don't have the access they need to health care. a range of issues that we should be spending money on, and the question is, do our budgets reflect our values? we should take a step back and we should say what is the -- >> do you want -- >> pardon me? >> do you think del monte should be pu -- the money should be pull and moved to the other side jrnlts it's more complicated than simply removed. for example, we're not putting enough resources to make sure our law enforcement are screened, recruited and trained and given strategies to de-escalate. looking at inclusive bias we know are system nick society.

we shouldn't be spending money on military equipment we ended when obama was in office and have officers here walk the streets. i think we should look at what is the social contract? what do we expect of law enforcement and do that with the community, and have an agreement what sha should be and then research this to be allocated accordingly. maybe some resources go to providing social services or creating economic development. maybe other resources we need to add to the police department to be better equipped to do the job we expect of them. there are too many times people call for local law enforcement, really they made need a social worker. an intervention. we should keep our children in school rather than expelling them and putting them out on it's streets. it's more complicated than defund or not. there are law enforcement agencies in our country on track trying to implement the strategies that will are good outcomes and others have a pattern and practice of systemic

discriminations. it is not one size fits all, brianna. we need a smart approach to this, that includes the community, we need leaders to do what many already started to do. take action to prohibit chokeholds, for example. get rid of no-knock warrants. invest in the training we know will lead to success, and i think reimagining how we use local law enforcement is a healthy exercise that should be going on across the country. >> valerie jarrett, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. disney workers demanding parks delay their reopening, as cases surge. the petition is growing. plus, lawmakers are furious at the trump administration for pulling federal funds to coronavirus testing sites. fireworks i ru woshgworks e council meeting. >> we will reconvene at 1:02.

pampers the #1 pediatrician recommended brand, helps keep baby skin dry & healthy so every touch is as comforting as the first pampers. the #1 pediatrician recommended brand the trump administration is just days away from ending federal support for covid testing sites as more than half the country is experiencing surges in cases.

state and local officials, who are witnessing the spikes, are saying now is not the time to pull federal resources. there are several sites set to lose federal funding, as they lose a frightening increase. now the governor is urging, but not requiring, residents to stay home. and i'm joined by sylvia garcia thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> and you represent millions of texans in the houston area. there are seven sites closing, including two of your largest testing sites set to lose their federal funding. what happens in your district, in your state if these testing capabilities are reduced? >> first of all, it's outrages the governor won't act. these are seven testing sites in texas. four are in the houston region. four in the city of houston and

four in the county. and people know the people, use them. they're testing about 500 to 2,000 people a day at each site. so, nalts that's a lot of people. and if we lose those sites, they'll put pressure on some of the other clinics and operations. it's one of the largest in the country and we need the testing sites because we have seen increase in icu beds. they're full at 97%. and one out of four of the patients are covid-19. so, that is very alarming. so, we need action from the governor to help us make sure that fema continues the sites. i know i joined with members of the harris county delegation, urging them to delay until august because we're just seeing an increase in positive testing

and in hospitalizations. >> as you're aware, president trump has said he wants to slow down testing in order to reduce the coronavirus numbers in the united states. when you look at this, is that what you see happening here? >> this president has said crazy things and this has got to be one of the craziest too, even suggest to slow down testing. we cannot do that. it's always been about testing, testing, testing. now it's about tracing and it's about treatment. we never should have opened up the economy in texas until we had robust testing to make sure that we could have people be testd before they went to work, tested at work, testing to make sure that everyone was safe and this governor, i think, in my judgment, opened too soon and before we had robust testing. and now, what i'm urging him to do is issue a state-wide mask order.

we've got to do everything we can to put a stop to the spread and everyone agrees that if you wear your mask, that really does decrease the chance of spreading. next thing you need to do is wash your hands and the third, of course is to sanitize when you can. it's incredible to me he's not letting our locolficials on the ground, who see this increase, who see we're hitting in the wrong direction, giving them the opportunity and the right to issue mask orders. if he won't let the locales do it, then he should do it from the top, coming from austin. >> congresswoman, thank you so much. congresswoman sylvia garcia joining us from capitol hill. florida is setting a new record for the highest number of new cases in a single day. and the surge has prompted employees at disney world to
