10:00 am
and waiting to about the president's financial records with an impact on the election. it is rare to have this many big cases still outstanding this late in june. >> this close to an election. steve, appreciate your insights. brianna keilar picks it up right now. hello, i'm bring and yeah keilar and welcome the viewers. america is in crisis. the country's three most populated states are seen dramatic surges in new coronavirus cases and an infectious disease expert says if california, texas and florida do not mitigate the spread the outcomes could be apock liptdic. the u.s. hit the fourth highest number of cases in a single day since the pandemic began and another 1.5 million americans filed for unemployment last week. cnn's tom foreman has been
10:01 am
tracking all of the trends we are seeing. take us through this, tom. >> reporter: these numbers are just appalling. take a look at arizona right now. this is not one of the most populo you us states but anyone can see how the numbers are getting worse, worse, worse there and why, well, one possibly, a connection, arizona is a neighboring state to california. when you look at the three most populous states, california, florida and texas, look at what is happened with the trend lines there since early in june. california, a steady steady steady climb. florida and texas much sharper climbs there. but nonetheless, going into stats fearic numbers and when they have a problem, we all have a problem, whether it's an
10:02 am
epidemic or the economy. we all have a problem if these states have a problem and right there you can see very severe problem and it's not just the numbers. it is also the severity. look at the hospitalizations in texas. that number way up. this is not just a matter of cases and saying i'll go home and get through it. the numb xwer er of people in s distress climbing rapidly. if these big states have a problem we all have a problem and they definitely have a serious problem right now. >> are other countries seeing similar spikes in populated areas, tom? >> reporter: that is the thing that's tragic to health officials. look at our lines compared to those of the european union and even italy at the bottom. that's italy. remember it wasn't that long ago talking about italy's having a terrific problem and they have steadily worked the way down.
10:03 am
the european union steadily working the way down. and if you follow that green line at the top, the u.s. is trying to work its way down and right there when you see the turn up in early june moving up what does that coincide with? anybody can tell. so many places saying reopen, try to get back out there and people saying i won't wear a mask or social distance. i don't think there's any clearer way to say it. look at the lines, the numbers and that tells you the results. nothing to do with politics or how you feel about things. that's biology. that's how it's working. brianna? >> terrible graph if you're the united states. thank you for walking us through that. with the fourth of july holiday approaching, public health officials worry about tourism hotspots. flori florida department of health reporting 5,000 new cases and
10:04 am
miami-dade county with a 27% increase in positive covid cases. >> reporter: we just heard from another hospital system who's also seeing an increase in cases, aventura hospital seeing more covid patients and younger and expert put it very clearly. this uptick, this increase is due to young people going out, partying, not wearing masks and then going home and intermingling with parents, grandparents and going to work and spreading this virus. we checked the numbers. here in miami-dade county, we are seeing a 27% positivity rate yesterday. the goal for the county is 10%. for past ten days the county exceeded 10%. again yesterday 27% positivity. here in jackson, jackson health, one of the largest health systems in the state, they're reporting a 108% increase in the
10:05 am
number of hospitalizations of covid-19 patients in the last 16 days. there's a lot of concern here in miami-dade county, the mayor announcing yesterday of an outbreak in south miami-dade of farm workers in very close quarters and they need isolation and don't have a place to isolate and the county is offering hotel rooms to these workers so that they can isolate it until they get better. and the county, the cities in the area doing what they can. they're mandating masks. we learned that miami beach closed four businesses since friday that were not following the rules but, brianna, what we are hearing from the governor's office and reiterating yesterday the day that florida broke the daily record and today we just got the numbers again and florida again exceeded 5,000
10:06 am
cases, governor ron desantis saying he is not requiring masks statewide. >> rosa, thank you so much live from miami. this is a nation in crisis. we are watching leaders who are in denial and killing americans. compare we as a nation to the rest of the world. new cases on the rise in 29 states. there setting daily records for coronavirus cases. hospitals are overwhelmed. it's leek we're back at square one when the pandemic first hit or worse in many places. this is how medical experts describe this. >> the greatest public health collapse in the history of our nation. this is an epic failure. >> now we have learned nothing from the suffering of other countries and our own. mump of this is a failure of national leadership and a failure of a national strategy. here's the evidence. the president is deliberately
10:07 am
negligent and puts americans at risk holding indoor rallies and events and by cutting funding for testing and including texas where cases are surging. he doesn't like testing because it shows what is going on and he has been admitting that for months. >> we have so much testing. i don't think you need that kind of testing and that much test. >> by doing the testing we make ourselves look bad. i have said testing is somewhat overrated. why the concept of tests aren't necessarily great. >> you can't just pretend your way out of a medical condition by not testing. i have a 2-year-old son, right? if i didn't take a pregnancy test i would have a 2-year-old son. and also when americans need to be informed the most and given the hard truth the president is keeping his own task force doctors from briefing the public. dr. fauci says that they don't talk for weeks in the middle of
10:08 am
one of the country's worst disa disasters of modern times. the president doesn't talk with the medical experts. study after study shows masks save lives. a new model projects if everyone wears them we save 30,000 lives by october. 30,000. that is five times the number of people at the president's campaign rally in tulsa this weekend. yet the president still refuses to set an example by endorsing the use of masks or wearing one himself. he mocks people who do wear masks. it is childish but it's also illogical because the president's number one concern is economy. right? and if it is he should be pushing masks. just look at countries where masks have not been politicized. cases are significantly lower than the u.s. couple chur and society get back to normal. a number of nations considering
10:09 am
a ban of americans traveling to the countries because it's so bad here. and all of this leads to more people dying. remember when this was the president's benchmark. >> they had min pum numbers of 100,000 and i think we beat that 100,000 deaths. can you believe that? that was a minimum. the minimum 100,000 deaths and i hope to be substantially under the minimum meaning we all hope, mike, right? we all hope to be substantially under. >> more than 122,000 americans have died. this is more than every war since the start of the korean war combined. the president doesn't acknowledge the collective loss of the nation. instead he turns the pandemic into a racist punch line to cheer. the president is focused more on sending troops for statues than on protecting american lives.
10:10 am
the sources said he asked to restore the only confederate statue in the nation's capital as we are in the middle of a massive racial reckoning. leaders abdicating the responsibility. as new york was dealing with its peak in the coronavirus outbreak there the governor of florida desantis lecturing states and the media not opening up fast enough and for warning americans of the life and death risk of the virus. >> any insinuation otherwise is just typical partisan narrative trying to be spun and part of the reason is that you have a lot of people in the profession who wax poetically for weeks and weeks about how florida was going to be just like new york. wait two weeks, florida will be next. just like italy. hell, we are eight weeks away from that and it's not happened. not only do we have a lower
10:11 am
death rate, d.c. everyone up there, we have a lower death rate than illinois, michigan, indiana, ohio. but even in our region, louisiana, mississippi, alabama, georgia, florida has the lower death rate and i was the number one landing spot from tens of thousands of people leaving the number one hot zone in the world to come to my state and succeeded and i think that people don't want to recognize it because it challenges their narrative, it challenges the assumption so they got to try to find a boogie man. >> that was a month ago and now new york's cases fallen dramatically. today the lowest number of hospitalizations of the entire pandemic and in florida they're hitting new records. why doesn't the president appear to care about all of this? well, maybe it's because according to the man he hired to be the national security adviser the president looks at everything through the prism of
10:12 am
his re-election. so he believes as long as the economy is reopened despite the risks that helps him no matter how many plant workers or front line employees getten fe infect possibly die. much of the heart break could be avoided and much can be because we are at the beginning of this pandemic. we have the best medicine in the world. other countries traditionally model themselves after america and right now the united states is a cautionary tale. i want to bring in the senior political analyst jon avalon. looking at this deliberate negligence by the president of the united states in the middle of this deadly pandemic, i think this is within of tone of the t stand out most of the presidency when history judges it. wat are his advisers telling him, jon? >> they try to get him to focus on the things that could unite the nation, to be more proactive. obviously trump land is
10:13 am
fractured itself but the number one priority is re-election then everything he is doing in confronting the crisis is counter productive because the country is crying out. every president since washington has tried to marshal the forces of the office to unite the nation. except this president. and it's a matter of instinct. it's who he is. >> it is instinctual. you can see how he reacts. senator rubio said everyone should just wear a damn mask. the president does not wear one and politicized masks, ignored social distancing guidelines and t folks around him tested all the time. that is happening. what can lawmakers do in the absence of presidential leadership? is there a way for them to make up for that when you're talking
10:14 am
about public health? >> i think marco rubio made a strong statement by saying in a way that folks can understand. wear a damn mask. don't pay attention to the president in this case. all politics is local and republicans looking at the polls to see that the president is in deep trouble. double digits with women, independent voters, losing voters over 65 right now to joe biden in some polls. so they recognize that while the president has been able to defy gravity in the base they are confronting not just the pandemic but the problem of polarization. trump criticized critics in the public. but he has negative attraction to voters in the middle and independent voters increasingly and they decide elections and republicans realize that. this is a trap of their own making. and they're trying to figure out how to save their own skins if
10:15 am
the trump ship goes down. >> all right. john, thank you for joining us. just in, multiple trump campaign staffers are in quarantine after his rally in tulsa because they were exposed to other staffers who were infected. plus, breaking news from the cdc including who's at highest risk and why there's so many more undetected cases. the fight of masks escalating as more cities and statesman dating them. >> you literally cannot mandate somebody to wear a mask knowing that that mask is killing people. it literally is killing people. and my -- the people, we the people are waking up. th your hod vanessa williams and performances from coast to coast. featuring: patti labelle, john fogerty, the temptations, andy grammer yolanda adams, renée fleming, trace adkins brian stokes mitchell, chrissy metz, mandy gonzalez, and a tribute to our frontline workers.

just a short time ago the centers for disease control and prevention held a coronavirus briefing and among the headlines, for every infection that's detected ten others have not been diagnosed. seen your medical correspondent elizabeth cohen joining us now to discuss that. the number bowls you over, it is huge, elizabeth. >> it is huge and many people suspected this was the case but to see this in writing? you know? from the cdc is really stunning. this was something that dr. redfield talked about today on this call meaning that ten times more people are spreading this virus around than we thought. that's huge. just the -- even the numbers as we know them is huge and ten times more people spreading the virus than we thought tells you how difficult it is going to be to get this under control and, brianna, in that eloquent essay
10:21 am
you read you talked about the mistakes made in the past, moving forward we now know that we are dealing with an even bigger challenge. we have ten times more cases to get under control. >> and as we see experts kind of -- they almost learn day-to-day of new information with risks of coronavirus. this has to do with having coronavirus while being pregnant. what can you tell us about that? >> right. there was a lot of question marks here, things we didn't know so this study has come out and this is a big deal, a study of more than 90,000 women with covid and looking at women with pregnant versus not all had covid and 32% were hospitalized. the ones not pregnant 6% were hospitalized so that suggests something about this virus with pregnancy that it does not combine well. now when we look specifically about what is being affected,
10:22 am
46% of these hospitalized women were hispanic. those percentages that is way more hispanic women than you would expect to see based on the population. >> yes, it is. elizabeth, thank you for that. iconic brands diz sney and apple struggling to reopen and secret service officers quarantining after the president's rally in tulsa. we'll hear why. and what we went wrong in california? the state that took some of the strictest precautions initially is now seeing a sharp rise. stressballs gummies have ashwagandha, an herbal stress reliever that helps you turn the stressed life...

this just in from texas. governor greg abbott is pausing the reopening of the state as the number of new covid-19 cases there soar. the latest tally just over 5,500 cases eclipsing a record of one day earlier. cnn's alex field in dallas and just a few days ago governor abbott said that shutting down a second time would, quote, always
10:28 am
be the last option and not something he wants to do. how long is this temporary pause going to last? >> reporter: it won't be a shutdown, brianna. the governor made it clear what he is trying to do is stop the spread. this is one of the states that was first to reopen, numbers showing that things are not going well. you have two days of record breaking new cases, 13 days of increased hospitalizations and the governor said they have to control the virus and the plan now is that businesss that are already open and just operating as reduced capacities can stay open. they can continue to orient at those capacities and won't see more restrictions lifted yet and not laid out exactly when the state would be ready to move forward but this is a serious situation across the state and it seems that the governor is now trying to get a grasp on this. it's becoming dire for the people sick. we heard from the mayor of
10:29 am
houston that the icus at 97% capacity and now another order from the governor. he has said that in four of the hardest hit counties to pause elective surgeries to make more rooms in the hospital to deal with the increasing number of sick patients and serious cases here. >> and what does he do if the cases continue to surge? even with a pause. >> reporter: that's going to be the question. this is the governor who's made it clear he wanted to get businesses back open. they led the way with a handful of other states in reopening and said again today as he enacts this pause in the state that it's important to get the paychecks and yes there is that option of last resort of a shutdown. the governor has said he's not ready to turn back the clock on the progress and the numbers are alarming. part of the plan now is to really encourage people to wear the masks.
10:30 am
we know they're effective. the science bears that out. you have the governor saying that texans need to wear the masks and not mandated for individuals in the state and local governments have been given the right to order businesses to require their customers to wear masks and learning now that state testing sites, the state sites with the covid tests as of tomorrow giving four masks to anyone getting that test so it seems the lesson is shared that people need tomasing up in public and not able to maintain so i believe distance. >> thank you for the report. there were fears that the protests in america lead to the spike in cases but a study says that they did not. plus audience members of the president's town hall tonight will be required to wear masks as we refuses to wear one. a warning that the

multiple trump campaign staffers quarantining after the president's rally in tulsa last
10:36 am
weekend and cnn learned that they interacted with eight colleagues that tested positive for coronavirus. dozens of secret service agents are also now under quarantine. a secret service official said the quarantining will not impact future operations. the agency is also taking additional precautions, agents who are involved in presidential trips must now be tested 24 to 48 hours beforehand and a reminder that that event did take place inside and attendees were not required to wear masks and almost all of them did not. the first presidential trip under the testing protocols right now, president trump in wisconsin recording a town hall as we speak. unlike oklahoma and arizona, face masks are required for this but it's fox news that's requiring them. and still the president himself is refusing to wear one. i want to bring in chief media consultant brian seltzer.
10:37 am
how do you make of this appearance to play? >> that's right. folks to attend this event had to have temperture checks at the entrance to make sure they didn't have a fever and they have to wear masks. anybody that doesn't want to is asked to leave. this town hall taking place now being taped for the show tonight. this is an event in the weeks for several days and speaks about the difference of fox's handling and the white house's and the trump campaign's handling. is it hypocritical some ways? yes. because some of fox's biggest stars down played the importance of masks but same time this speaks to corporations and conservative corporations are taking this more seriously than the president is. >> yeah. it is a huge liability issue, right? looking at tulsa and don't want
10:38 am
it to play out here. in the past week, the president tweeted dozens and dozens of times but barely mentioning about the pandemic and his favorite channel is touting riot video of a month ago and not an accurate picture that's painted. >> that's right. the biggest way that fox down playing the virus is not by telling viewers not to wear masks. it is much more subtle about covering other stories and other issues, it is like acting like the threat has passed the same way the president acts that way and i think ultimately what the president loses this re-election in november it is about the divorce of reality and a biggest area divorced from reality is when it comes to this virus and we will see, you know, if hannity challenges him on this, if people in the town hall challenge him about the virus but for the most part right wing media tried to move on and the president is taking the cues from those sources. >> thank you so much.
10:39 am
i'm very much enjoying the sounds there in your house as you try to concentrate so hard on work. thank you so much. >> not quite able to work from home like usual. i'm looking forward to being in the studio but not until the threat is passed and since my daughter interrupted, it is not just cnn. it is fox news that is working from home. this is about the hypocrisy we are talking about. the president if he really wanted to know what was going on in corporate america he would ask how they're broadcasting. hannity is working from home just like the rest of us. >> very, very good point. the sounds are sweet. hang in there! brian stelter, thank you. >> i'll make sure the kids are okay. thank you. protesting racial injustice fueled a lot of concerns of a potentially dangerous spike in coronavirus infections but a new study just published by the national bureau of economic research said there is no proof
10:40 am
any of these demonstrations lead to more cases. dr. dave montgomery is a preventive card iologist at the prevent clinic. thank you for joining us. this is not exactly what we thought would happen. it is a study that measured impact three weeks after the protests. why are we not seeing this spike that seemed almost a guarantee? >> yeah. no. i think you hit it on the head. there are many in the country including myself who expected or are expecting for there to be an increase in the numbers of cases of covid based on the thousands of people in the protests. i will say from the study important question, i love the attempt and the approach to try to gain some ideas but it is not definitive because it's just too soon. as you know the incubation time of this virus can be two weeks and so, you know, you align that with the idea that what we are actually seeing right now in a
10:41 am
place like texas, brianna, the numbers are increasing precipitously and that number made up of large percentage of people in that demographic, young people around 30 years old. >> so this study also points out that social distancing increased in the protests not by the protesters but by the people who were trying to avoid them. why is that noteworthy to you? >> yeah, no. it is a really important point. we are just discovering, everybody's experiencing this for the first time and did the fallout from having all of those thousands of people together for the people who weren't attending the protests and rallies, were those people more careful in doing the things that other countries, for example, have shown us works? quarantining, staying inside, wearing masks. did data suggests there were
10:42 am
more people quarantining themselves or staying away from large crowds because of the protests. >> did maybe they offset what actually happened with the protests? dr. metropolitontgomery, thank joining us. >> thank you. miami's mayor wants to fine people for not wearing them in public. why van halen star said he'd rather die than not perform live. richard marx has a blunt message for people that don't wear face coverings in public calling them entitled and ignorant. your hosts john stamod vanessa williams and performances from coast to coast. featuring: patti labelle, john fogerty, the temptations, andy grammer yolanda adams, renée fleming, trace adkins brian stokes mitchell, chrissy metz, mandy gonzalez, and a tribute to our frontline workers. it's the fortieth anniversary of a capitol fourth.

10:47 am
rock singer sammy hagar said he would rather get sick and die than give upper forming live. he's now a solo act with this to say in an interview with "rolling stone" magazine. i would rather get sick and die if that's what it has to take. we have to save the country from the economic thing that will kill more people in the long run, i would rather see everyone go back to work, if we have to sacrifice on that, okay. joining me now is grammy award winning singer richard marx. thank you for coming on. when you hear remarks like that, how do you respond as a performer? >> i honestly don't know where to begin to unpack a statement like that except to say that i don't think sammy recognizes it
10:48 am
is not just about sammy. it is about all the people who would come to hear him play. and the risk of their health for what? you know? look we all want to go back to work. my livelihood is i'm a concert performer around the world and i have the greatest job in the world. we all want to go back to performing but i have no interest in even contemplating the idea of having people who like what i do gather in a space and risk their health and my own until we really have a handle on this thing. i just don't understand the pushback. it is just common sense to me but at the end of the day i just feel that a statement like sammy's was just so puzzling to me because it's a whole lot more than just sammy. >> americans right now are grappling with what their entertainment is going to look like here in the next year or so, right? whether it's sports or music. we spoke with keith urban after
10:49 am
he had given a concert as basically a drive-in theater and not getting that reaction from the fans, right? like lights flicking on and off at you but i wonder what you think of the state of concerts is going to look like over the next year. i know you are about to do a virtual one but are you going to be able to perform in front of fans in the next year, do you think? >> you know, look. i have no crystal ball nor like anybody else. i think it's a gradual thing and we have to just like this virtual concert i'm doing and several artists are doing these kind of things, it is a sort of next best thing. i can't have people gather and play for them in a venue and next best thing is a concert atmosphere. this virtual concert on sunday i'm doing is going to involve a total of maybe seven or eight people. we are all going to be socially distanced. the location is mandatory ppe.

it's got a fumigation decontamination system in place. we are taking every precaution, even for the six or seven of us part of it and not anywhere near each other. i think that it's just going to have to roll out as and until we start to see progress bringing the numbers down, we're sort of locked into this situation where i feel like it's just not safe in any way shape or form to have a bunch of people at concerts. as much as i would love to grow back to work. and i think that things like keith's drive-in virtual concerts, i think we're going to slowly come up with new, safer ways to sort of bridge the gap. >> you -- and you're coming to us from california. so, you've got a surge going on right there in your state. what do you make of people who are still not wearing masks?
10:51 am
>> it's just mind boggling to me. look, you know this. years ago we had a psycho path try to blow opplane with a bomb in his shoe and luckily no one was hurt. to this day we have to take off our shoes at the airport and wear mandatory seatbelts driving our car. you know why? because it protects the masses. what wearing a mask and socially distancing does is protects the masses. that's the science. i just don't understand the ignorance of people who just want to dismiss that. why wouldn't we want to put in every possibility of making people safe and driving the numbers down? it's just -- i don't get it. >> anecdotally, i notice sometimes if i'm out in public, i'm wearing a mask. someone not wearing one will walk close to me, almost as if they think that i am protected from them. they don't understand the two-way transmission.
10:52 am
why do you think people are just not getting what's really a pretty basic concept when you're talking about protection? >> well, i could be wrong. but i really do feel like this whole thing has been politicized to the point where it breaks down, based upon what news you watch. or who you listen to politically. you know, the people walking around cavalierly, refusing to wear masks, tend to have a certain right-wing ideology, and the people who are like no, let's listen to science, tend to be not those people? so, the fact that it seems to have broken down into a political a or b is, again, mind blowing to me, that we're not just using critical thinking and commonsense. >> thank you so much. good luck with your virtual concert. we're looking forward to that and thats going to be a data point as we get back to enjoying
