good book to read. i would love to hear from you, our viewers. you can tweet the show @sitroom. we would love to know what you thought. thanks very much for watching. "erin burnett outfront" starts right now. outfront next, get ahead of it. a new model projects more than 30,000 lives could be saved if everyone wears a mask. it's the white house's own model. turning the tables, new york, connecticut, and new jersey imposing a quarantine for people coming from specific other states. the new jersey governor is out front. let's go "outfront." and good evening i'm erin burnett. out front tonight, get past it. that is dr. anthony fauci

tonight, an extremely blunt message on masks. today he was asked what do you say to people, including the president who are have made wearing a mask a political discussion, a it's my body, my right kind of thing. here's dr. fauci. >> there's no secret formula for that except to say get past it. it should not be a political issue. it is purely a public health issue. forget the politics. look at the data. >> get past it, he says. well, the president will not. he absolutely categorically has not and will not do that. he did not wear a mask today when he welcomed the president of poland to the white house. and he has consistently refused to wear one, right? never. visits coronavirus hotspots. he was in arizona where they've got the surge in cases and hospitalizations. he held several events yesterday, no mask. trump has claimed, in fact, that people who are wearing masks are doing so to spite him, that mask

wearing is about hum for people that wear them. he mocked joe biden for wearing a mask in public. and tonight with more than half of american states seeing increase in coronavirus cases and seven seeing record hospitalizations according to "the washington post," even the president's allies are publicly breaking with him. florida senator marco rubio whose state reported more than 5,500 cases in one day telling reporters, quote, everyone should just wear a damn mask." the governor of texas, the texas m.d. cal center in history center reports 97% full rate for icu beds. >> it would have been one thing to talk about masks in the middle part of may when it looks like all the trends are going down. it's a different thing talking about masks today in the middle part of june with all of the numbers going up. as a result, you are seeing myself both wear a mask and talk

about masks in the middle part of may. >> and tonight the model the white house so often uses now projects that if everyone wears a mask, 33,000 american lives could be saved, just by wearing masks. so, people are still going to die, but 33,000 people might not die just if you put on a damn mask. it could make a difference between life or death. and yet the president who can set such a powerful example here to so many people who somehow see this as an expression of personal freedom when it isn't, he won't do it. boris sanchez is outfront live near the white house. we saw the president no mask when it came to questions about the virus, he chose not to engage. >> yeah, that's right erin. the president clearly eager to turn the page away from coronavirus. just the fact he's holding this event at the white house

welcoming a world leader, an indication the president wants to give the manage that he's maintaining a regular schedule. keep in mind he travelled to arizona yesterday, in oklahoma over the weekend. tomorrow he heads to wisconsin. he wants to put out the image that the united states is ready for a reopening even when the facts on the ground dispute that. as you noted the president not wearing a mask when he greeted the president of poland ignoring questions about substantive increases in the number of coronavirus cases across the country and further insinuating or saying that he wanted poland to get involved in developing a vaccine for coronavirus and insinuating that we were on the brink of a break through saying that, quote, a beautiful surprise was coming. the president clearly realizing that his re-election hopes are standing on the rebound from the coronavirus in the united states. he's also facing accusations from his former national security adviser john bolton who was on cnn earlier saying that the president turned a blind eye to coronavirus and that he

continues to hinder the united states' ability to respond to the virus, erin. >> all right, boris, thank you. i want to go to dr. sanjay gupta now and dr. reiner who advised the medical team under george w. bush and john avlon our senior political analyst. welcome to all. sanjay, as boris said, the president trying to have a normal looking schedule. going to rallies, welcoming leaders. you wouldn't know anything had changed the past few months because people didn't wear masks at the rally last night and the president didn't wear a mask today. yet the latest model the white house sites, 97% of americans wear a mask more than 30,000 lives could be saved in a few months. that's what this is about. it is life or death. >> it really is, and now there's plenty evidence just to how much of an impact masks can make. jonathan reiner has been talking about this for months. he's been really beating the

drum on this for a long time. i think as we got more evidence that asymptomatic transmission, even if you don't have any symptoms you could still spread this virus, once that became clear, the idea we all have to behave like we have the virus, that means wearing a mask. it became critically important. now you have numbers to put on it. i should remind as well that south korea never went into a lockdown mode and yet they've had fewer than 300 deaths. why? testing and masks primarily, things that we definitely can do here as well. what always strikes me is people say i'm not worried about getting it. i don't need to wear a mask, i'm not worried about getting it. you should be asking the question are you worried about giving it. that's the thing about the mask. you can decrease the likelihood that you spread this to others. that's why you should wear one. >> so, dr. fauci today came out about masks and was really aggressive and clear and blunt. he said it should not be a political issue. it is purely a public health issue. forget the politics. look at the data.

his bottom line was get past it. but yet, dr. reiner, this is a political issue for the president. you've got some republicans pushing back. marco rubio, wear a damn mask. thank you to senator rubio. but the governor of the state, ron desantis, is not saying that directly. instead of saying wear a mask, he says, oh, well, it would be hard to enforce it. here he is. >> there's an enforcement that ha has to follow in that and we have a lot of places in florida that would not be a good use of resources. ultimately we've got to trust people to make good decisions. >> what should he have said there, dr. reiner? >> well, he's the governor of a state that had 5,500 new cases today. he's the governor of a state that had eight times more cases than new york state and about a 7th of all the cases in the united states. the pandemic is raging in that state. and what he should have said to the people of florida is, i put

you before anything else. everyone who goes out in pub luck must wear a mask. think of it this way, going out in public without a mask is like driving drunk. even if you don't get hurt, you might kill somebody else. that's how i want people to think about not wearing a mask in public. it's like driving drunk. the governor of florida needs to make a clear unequivocal statement that it's dangerous to your community if you go out in public without a mask. and this should really have come from the white house except the president is laser focused on re-election and he thinks that wearing a mask will impede that somehow. it's bizarre. >> right, and of course the leadership matters. you tell people to wear a mask. all right. you can't enforce it. they don't enforce it in new york. but most people wear it most of the time. that's what matters. it's the leadership. it's the sense of public shame. john avlon, other allies of the president are sounding the high alarm.

here's former governor rick scott. here he is. >> he's got to wear a mask, got to social distance, get more information out. i hope everybody takes this seriously because we haven't beaten this. >> so, wear masks, social distance. okay. we know these things. but when the president of the united states hears rick scott, ally, say this, does it have any impact at all? >> no. president trump's not going to change. rick scott said he hoped he would change his message, his tone, his strategy. donald trump has instead doubled down in the middle of a triple crisis, economic, racial, and covid to try to be more divisive. the thing is what rick scott and other republicans are telling him is this isn't helping. it's not helping the country. the numbers are rising. it's not helping his re-election numbers. his poll numbers are dismal. he's not only losing by digit double, he's losing independent voters, women by more than to

points. it's a direct approach to this. tone comes from the top and denial is not a strategy and yet that's the president's approach from day one. >> dr. fauci says this virus is nothing like anything he's dealt with in his four-decade career. does the president listen at this point to dr. fauci? >> i think he's not really listening to him. we know he hasn't spoken to dr. fauci in a while. we used to have those coronavirus task force briefings on a regular basis. they sort of disappeared some time ago. we know the sort of side group has formed and they call themselves the doctor's group which is dr. fauci, dr. birx, dr. redfield, at the present time they get together to make recommendations with the vice president. they do have a phone meeting with the vice president from time to time. but i don't think the president is hearing from dr. fauci, and some of my sources say dr. fauci is now serving as a reminder to

the president of this pandemic. that's what dr. fauci represents to him. so, he just want to see him. he's not mad at him. he just doesn't want to see him. >> dr. reiner, senator lindsey graham said vice president pence who shared that coronavirus task force, he gave republican senators update today. he said fatality rate is going down, ppe is in a pretty good position. i ask you, you're in the hospital daily. you're with heart patients many of whom i know over the past few months have also had covid. is what he says true? >> well, first of all i'm not so sure that the fatality rate is going down anymore. there were over 800 deaths yesterday. there were over 700 deaths today. we seem to have plateaued between 700 and 800 deaths per day. as for ppe, every doc i know in the united states reuses an n95 mask. i had a conversation with our procurement officer about a week ago.

we're still having trouble sourcing n95 masks. so, the big concern, should we see a nationwide surge, a true second wave once we get out of the first wave, that we may not, again, have enough personal protective equipment. i'd like to see an accounting of that. i would like to know what our national strategic stock piles are filled with right now. >> so, which is pretty scary. i want to emphasize what you're saying. as we know this is still the first wave. a lot of people think it left some places and came to other places. that would be inaccurate. >> this is still the first wave. >> the second highest ranking senate republican john thune says the polls showing biden ahead of trump sends a message that there needs to be a change in strategy. and thune said, quote, there needs to be certainly a change in probably strategy as far as the white house messaging is concerned. right now biden is getting the benefit of not being covered at

all because he's not out there. now it's trump versus trump. i don't think that's the choice the white house wants the american people making. i think he tried to be polite there but it's plain and simple that more trump is not what people want right now in terms of seeing him. >> yeah. but, again, you know, trump's incapable of trying to be anything other than he is. and i suppose there points an authenticity in that. this is somebody whose narcissism is so powerful that he thinks people wearing a mask during a pandemic is a personal insult. it's not. it's public health. i think republicans are realizing with the primaries over, you're seeing lindsey graham growing a little bit of a spine against the administration. they see the polls, they see the president is in trouble, particularly in key states where the republicans got housed in 2018, suburban voter, women voters, independent voters. and the president is reaping

what he's sewn and it's flowed through his leadership and republicans are starting to say don't count donald trump out. he can pull a rabbit out of a hat. but everything we're seeing on the ground speaks to real trouble and they know the president's not going to change his tune or his style. it's too late. >> thank you. dr. reiner, dr. gupta, thank you very much. i appreciate all your time. next a surge across the country in young people contracting coronavirus. is this part of the reason? >> so, like, i should be wearing a mask, but i don't. >> have absolutely no concern whatsoever. >> it just doesn't concern me at all. >> plus new jersey among three states now imposed 14-day quarantines on people traveling from specific hotspots. the state's governor is outfront. and after calling it offensive, kellyanne conway changing her tune when it comes to the racist phrase is now using, used multiple times, to describe coronavirus. d.

because the tempur-breeze° transfers heat away from your body. so you feel cool... night after night. during the tempur-pedic summer of sleep, save $500 on all tempur-breeze mattresses. tonight, california and arizona seeing a record number of coronavirus hospitalizations. and in north carolina the hospitalizations increased by more than 50% in just over a month. it comes as more than half of the united states is now seeing rising case counts over the past seven days. nick watt is "outfront." >> we're announcing today a joint travel advisory. people coming in from states

that have a high infection rate must quarantine for 14 days. >> so, from midnight, 3 northern eastern states won't let anyone in from these states unless they quarantine. in arizona, another record covid-19 death toll. >> within days we're going to be over capacity of dealing with a hospital crisis in my opinion. >> many florida, more new cases today than ever before. one hospital systems says they're seeing more young patients. >> they're spreading the infection to older people, people with chronic diseases right now, we'll see increase in death potentially two weeks from now. >> another record case count today in texas. >> there is a massive outbreak of covid-19 across the state of texas today. >> we are making sure the rules are enforced so we are going to be able to better contain the spread of covid-19. >> reporter: and for 11 days straight texas has set new records for the number of

covid-19 patients admitted to the hospital. nationwide in more than half our states new case counts just aren't going down. >> basically we're back to where new york was back in march except that this time i don't think that there is the political will and the public support to have these shutdowns. >> reporter: dr. anthony fauci says we need to get past mask wearing being a political issues. the democratic governor of north carolina says he's making them mandatory, and the republican governor of florida just said he won't. >> we advised from the beginning of may, we advised if you can't social distance, wear the mask. but ultimately we've got to trust people to make good decisions. >> and those well-known university of washington modelers say we would save more than 30,000 lives by the end of the summer if 95% of us wore masks. but right now we aren't. >> we just went through hell

trying to revive and take care of people. and we don't want to go through it again. wear a mask. just wear a mask. >> reporter: and erin, i've been trying to remember what it felt like during those dark days of april when we were regularly seeing 30,000 new cases a day. it was scary. it felt out of control. and four of the past five days we have, once again, seen more than 30,000 cases a day. today's number, we're getting close to 30,000 and we're not yet done counting. erin. >> all right, nick, thank you very much. i want to go to dr. ha sheesh jiah. when you see these cases going up, we have laid this out time and time again. this is not increase in testing. hospitalizations show a lot of all-time highs in california, arizona, rising in many states. you're at new cases that you had back in march.

so, how worried are you right now? >> i'm pretty worried, erin, and thank you for having me on. as i look across the country, i see nearly half the country where the numbers are rising pretty substantially. and most importantly, i don't see a plan for how we're going to stop the spread and how we're really going to bring the viral outbreaks under control. there's no appetite for shutting the country down again, and i think rightly so. but if we keep ignoring it or taking half steps we're going to find ourselves with very few good options. >> you know, we've talked with doctors about the rising new cases and particularly this issue people have been talking about which is younger people getting sick. here's what the doctors have been saying. >> i'm seeing young healthy patients coming in very sick. >> we're seeing the highest increase in the ages between 18 and 34. >> cases in alabama of age 25 to 50 years old, 40% of the cases are bad. >> okay. so, the young people are getting

sick. here is what some young people have been saying to our reporters in the field. >> i have family personally who's been lost to coronavirus, is to, like, i should be wearing a mask, but i don't. not with my friends around. >> i have absolutely no concern bha so far. >> it just doesn't certain oncet all. >> why are they wrong when they say it just doesn't concern them? >> well, i mean, first of all there's been a concerted effort i think by a lot of folks to make the claim that young people, that for young people it's ono dig deal at all. yes, they die less often than old people, but they still die. and more importantly or as importantly they get very, very, very sick. we've seen people with strokes and heart attacks. we don't know the long of had term effects of these things. the idea that it's no big deal, i get where they're getting that from, but it's plain wrong.

it is a big deal. >> also i know there's a delay of weeks because that's the way this works. but as they do that amongst themselves, time passes. it then spreads to other communities and then you start to see that jump in a lot of other vulnerable people getting sick. some of these young kids who maybe aren't the ones getting sick don't even realize that they're hurting or perhaps even causing to die. >> yes, absolutely. so, that's the other part of this. so, first of all i think they're underestimated the risk for themselves. but second, they are fuelling the outbreak. they're going to then go home and spend time with their parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles or maybe friends who are immunocompromised or have chronic diseases. so, i take no comfort in the idea that it's only young people right now. i'm very worried about what it's going to do to the broader community and the broader society. >> all right. dr. jha, thank you very much. sobering interview but i hope a wake up call for some.

thank you, sir. and next, americans who have been to coronavirus hotspots will have to quarantine for 14 days if they step foot in connecticut, new york, new jersey. one person who won't be following the new order, the president of the united states. plus president trump now claiming protesters want to pull down statues of jesus. what is he talking about? and sometimes, you can find yourself heading in a new direction. but when you're with fidelity, a partner who makes sure every step is clear, there's nothing to stop you from moving forward. that's why usaa is giving payment relief options to eligible members so they can pay for things like groceries before they worry about their insurance or credit card bills.

breaking news, president trump won't follow the new 14-day quarantine order when he visits new jersey this weekend. the white house saying in a statement, quote, the president of the united states is not a civilian. anyone who is in close proximity to him included staff, guests are tested for covid-19 and confirmed to be negative. two secret service agents also had coronavirus. outfront now, governor phil murphy. the president does get tested every day. but he's sending a message he does not respect your order. he's been in arizona. that's one of the states that is a hot spot. what's your response?

>> good to be with you, erin, first of all. secondly, there is a carve out for essential workers and i think by any definition the president of the united states is an essential worker and i know folks get tested around him all the time. i've been tested a couple of times when i've been with him over the past couple of months. i think the bigger point here is we want folks to really be responsible in term of thinking about not just themselves but their families and their communities, and we've beaten this virus down to a pulp with enormous loss of life. we've been through hell and don't want to go through hell again and that's the spirit that underpins what we're asking folks to do. >> so, it does of course seem a drastic measure to some. how are you actually going to enforce it? >> erin, largely through moral

persuasion. it is an advisory. we can appeal to folks to do the right thing. and in new jersey folks have done extraordinarily well and have done the right thing over the now many months. we'd ask new jerseyans who are returning from other hot spot states or folks who are visiting to again continue to do the right thing. by the way, it is part of the advisory. get tested. we've built up capacity in new jersey where the number one per capita testing state in the america. when in doubt, go out and get a test. we've got the capacity. let's use it. >> governor cuomo here in new york, he's saying $2,000 fine for the first violation someone coming from a hot spot, $5,000 for the second, $10,000 if you cause harm. i know you're saying moral suasion. are you considering other policies or not? >> we did this with new york and

connecticut. i want to give a shoutout to governors cuomo and lamont who have been great partners. the the spirit is common but the execution is going to be done in each state. our commissioner of health has the ability and will use it if need be to go specifically at somebody who's willfully non-compliant. but we want folks to continue to do what they've been doing which is overwhelmingly responsible common sense for the common good behavior and let's hope it continues. >> your order is three months after the republican florida governor ron desantis issued a similar order, saying anyone coming from new york had to self-quarantine. here's what he said about that. >> that was the right decision. that was the number one landing pad. south florida got inundated. had we not done the quarantine you would have had way more cases, hospitalizations, the whole nine yards. i have no doubt that that quarantine saved lives.

>> have you spoken to him at all? is he now supporterive of you doing the same thing to him as he did to you, or do you know? >> yeah, i've not spoken to governor desantis. and this isn't personal specifically to florida or to him. this is any state that's got a rolling seven-day average. that's an important point because any state including our own can have a blip up or down. but a rolling seven-day average of 10% or more positivity in their testing, and that's sort of the benchmark. and it's not specific to any one state. we think it's the right thing to do. it's the smart thing to do, and i think it's the responsible thing to ask folks to do. >> so, you know, you just said a moment ago that beating the virus to a pulp. you've talked about breaking the back of the virus. i know you've expressed

frustrations, pictures like this showing people in your state crowding public places not wears masks. that's morristown i'm showing now. this is similar to what we saw with states like texas reopened way early and we saw them reap that, new cases surges. are you worried that you could go back, that you could be, again, where texas and florida are now in a few weeks or a month? >> yeah, i do worry about it which is why those pictures concern me deeply. i have to say outdoors versus indoors, this virus is a completely different animal. it is far more lethal inside lacking ventilation, close proximity, sedentary behavior. that's a really hard environment for this virus and our exposure to it. but we've talked very forcefully. if we have to take action against establishments, we will. we do have testing we did not

have three r ofoor four months . we have contact traces. we have isolation plans. we have a lot more weapons at our disposal that hopefully we can be surgical as opposed to taking the broad steps and putting things in reverse which we want to avoid at all costs if we can. >> governor murphy, i appreciate your time. thank you, sir. >> thanks for having me. next why john bolton says he has no regrets about not testifying in president trump's impeachment trial. >> i think the democrats were guilty of impeachment malpractice. they took this issue and drove it straight into a ditch. >> democratic senator mark warner responds. plus a state senator says he was attacked while filming protesters tearing down statues in wisconsin. is it time for protesters to dial things back? into a smaller life? are your asthma treatments just not enough?

new tonight, president trump slamming democrats for blocking republicans' police reform plan in the senate claiming they opposed the bill because it didn't do enough to weaken police. >> republicans want very much to pass a bill on police reform.

we have total cooperation with many different communities including the police community. the democrats don't want to do it because they want to weaken our police. >> out front now the democratic senator from virginia. senator, you are among the senators who blocked the plan on police reform. president trump says you did so because you want to weaken our police. what do you say to him? >> i say once again that mr. trump has totally got it wrong. i want to have a path to meaningful reform of our policing system so that all americans, no matter who they are, feel the police is going to treat them fairly and appropriately in a country that's supposed to be equal under the law. and that's not the case right now. and unfortunately the majority leader, leader mcconnell, could have taken the bill that was put forward by kamala harris and

cory booker, two of my colleagues, and said let's start with that bill, amend it, and we could have had a meaningful debate. instead there was a bill that was put up that i don't think was going to ever get us to an appropriate reform. and there was no willingness to compromise. now, we're going to have another chance. my hope would be that the majority leader would bring up the legislation, but if not the house will soon pass a bill very close to what i would support. and that bill will come over and i hope, again, we'll get another crack to start a bipartisan process. >> two gop leaders, senators cornyn and blunt basically said it would be off the table. senator blunt's says there is probably no path forward in this bill if they block debate tomorrow. you are more optimistic, but is that possible that could be what it ends up, we get nothing?

>> it's possible if the majority leader wants to not have a process where we can bring together ideas, why we wouldn't have started this bill in the way a normal bill would be, take it to judiciary committee, let them argue it out in the committee, get input from both sides and then bring it to the floor. that's the normal process. that's the way the u.s. senate is supposed to work. he chose not to do that. but he's going to have another chance because the house will pass legislation i believe this week that will come over and then the majority leader will have an opportunity to bring that bill up. and remember, he's got the majority in the senate so he can change that bill if he has the votes. but let's have a fair process. >> so, the plan would have done some things. it would have used insent tifs to limit the use of chokeholds, not giving funding to units that use it, body cams. you had all that. the man who led the gop effort,

tim scott, said this today about the democrats blocking the bill. here's your colleague, senator scott. >> weld not be here if it were not as senator purdue alluded to the death of yet another african-american man, george floyd. his murder is why the country has given us the opportunity to lead, to lead. and our friends on the other side just said no. >> i want to give you a chance to respond to senator scott. >> listen, i appreciate senator scott approach, but i would also point out that every civil rights group, the attorneys and families of george floyd and the other victims all said do not go forward with this legislation. make sure there is a fair path to have meaningful reform. and we're going to have that opportunity.

either put both these bills into the judiciary committee, let the committee work through it, or take the bill that will come over from the house and use as a starting point. there is no reason, there is no excuse not to have meaningful reform of our policing system if the majority leader wants to have a fair process. if they want to simply kick this aside and avoid this issue at all costs, they can choose that. but they could have chosen that regardless. >> senator warner, i appreciate your time. thank you sir. >> thank you, erin. and next, trump's senior adviser now defending the president's use of a racist term to describe coronavirus after she originally called it wrong after saying who would say such a horrible thing. chemical engig and you're technically a genius... and it appears you're quite the investor. i like to trade. well, td ameritrade has pros ready if you need help, say talking through a new strategy... ... just in case things, you know, get a little rocky? i'm sorry

president trump vows to sign an executive order to prevent protesters from tearing down statues and other monuments across the country, saying now that statues of jesus are coming down. don't know what he's talking about there, claiming that the

protesters don't know who or what they are even protesting against. >> i think many of the people that are knocking down these statues don't even have any idea what the statue is, what it means, who it is. when they knock down grant, when they want to knock down grant, but when they look at -- now they're looking at jesus christ. they're looking at george washington. they're looking at abraham lincoln, thomas jefferson. not gonna happen. >> out front now the former president of the naacp, also president of the people for the american bay, ben willis. you heard the president. do you think people know who and what they're protesting against? >> folks are taking down confederate monuments because they stand for hatred and for slavery and it's that simple. i think he was just describing the view from the white house of the washington mall where you have jefferson and lincoln and washington. no one's thinking about tearing those down.

but they have torn down one monument in washington, d.c. of a confederate general. folks have targeted robert e. lee who's far from jesus. and it's absolutely, absolutely the right thing to do. and the hard part, right, is that these mayor landrieu laid out for the world are relics of a failed propaganda campaign by the desen dents of the folks that lost the war to try to convince the country that the war wasn't about slavery, and it absolutely was. these are symbols of hatred and slavery. it's time to come down. >> there were protests in wisconsin last night. statutes being taken down. tim carpenter sent us video and he says it's him being attacked by protesters. he collapsed. a cnn affiliate called 911 for

him. he collap he has vision issues. do you think some of these protests have gone too far? >> there is no doubt there are folks out there in these crowds who want to go too far. those of us who have been engaged in protests before know there are always provocateurs. let's be clear. the majority are relics of the old confederacy and need to come down. >> the president once again last night repeated his use of kung flu talking about the coronavirus. in march, his counselor kelly an conway was very direct. she objected to that term. she had heard a white house staffer used it, absolutely categorically horrible thing to say and the president is saying it again and again at rallies. she's singing a much different tune. here is kellyanne. >> it's offensive. my reaction is that the president made very clear he

wants everybody to understand and i think many americans do understand that the virus originated in china and had china been more transparent and honest with the united states and the world, we wouldn't have all the death and destruction that unfortunately, we've suffered. >> so she went from blunt of course it's wrong, that's highly offensive to, you know, what we just heard. what changed? the term is the same. >> i suspect the president made it clear to her she wants to continue to work for him, she's got to tow the line. what's clear, he can't do the same thing with voters. older white voters are trending toward biden and younger white voters are going to the left. it has to do with his mishandling of covid and racist rhetoric. he's giving up on moderates and doubling down on his base. the fact he's losing older white voters you would think would be

a sign to him maybe i should moderate my tone but he's never been able to do that on issues of race. he made his career saying that the central park five were guilty even though dna proved -- and this is the guy who frankly ran for president by lying about president obama. so race is always his achilles hill and he'll be racist until the end and it will probably end his presidency. >> thank you. >> thank you. and next, california it was praised for its handling of coronavirus cases. the state unfortunately seeing a record number of new cases so what has gone wrong? can i find an investment firm with a truly long-term view that's been through multiple market cycles for over 85 years? with capital group, i can. talk to your financial professional or consultant for investment risks and information. talk to your financial professional or consultant they get that no two people are alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need.

response. where did things go wrong? kyung law is "outfront". >> reporter: summer in los angeles, packed patios and high anxiety. >> not seeing too many people keeping their social distancing measures and i'm a little worried to be honest. >> reporter: doctors say he should worry. california reported more than 7,000 covid-19 infections today, another new record. after weeks of keeping the spread largely in check, new infections have shot up shattering records on multiple days. california governor glovavin nem is sounding the alarm. >> we cannot continue to do what we have done over the last number of weeks. >> reporter: this is a major step back for a state that attacked the virus aggressively. california was the first state to shut down after about two months of closures, numbers stabilized. but unemployment shot up. protests grew angry and the state moved forward in phases to restart the economy.

>> just because we had flattened the curve here in california early on does not mean we are out of the woods. >> reporter: covid never disappeared says this epidemiologist. infections in nursing homes and the prison population continued but the main driver, the reopening of california. people fed up with social distancing and masks. >> this mask mandate is ridiculous. >> reporter: the governor and county health official says days of protests over the death of george floyd where we saw masks but little social distancing may have been a factor. >> californians. >> reporter: california's governor with the help of previous governors is urging multiple platforms for people to wear masks, a statewide mandate he's already put into place. >> do your part. don't let covid win. wear a mask. >> just do it. >> we are not safer today than we were before. in fact, we were safer when

everybody was home. now we are reaching a point where we are much less safe and we need to be even more careful. >> reporter: kyung law, cnn, los angeles. >> thanks to kyung and all of you. as always, anderson starts now. and good evening on the day when the southern and western united states is breaking single-day records for new coronavirus cases and not for the first time this week, a day after the u.s. recorded its third highest single day case total overall and new influential model says if people wear masks, the death toll would be significantly reduced, you might hope the president of the united states facing cameras during a news conference in the rose garden at the white house would have something to say about it all. perhaps acknowledging that large indoor rallies aren't wise or flouting your government's guidelines at these rallies about social distancing and wearing masks is also a detriment to the public health but he did not. instead, the president left the
