until then, thanks very much for watching. "erin burnett outfront" starts right now. ♪ outfront next, the u.s. breaking records on coronavirus cases today. states halting plans to reopen as the vice president is praising the government's response tonight. plus houston hospitals warning they could soon run out of beds, an er doctor on the frontlines there is outfront. and the president signs an executive order to protect confederate monuments. let's go outfront. and good evening. i'm erin burnett. outfront tonight the breaking news, the united states about to hit 40,000 new coronavirus cases today, the first time that we've had that many in one day. the death toll in the united states closing in on 125,000 people. but if all you did was listen to the president and vice president today, you would be absolutely stunned to hear what i just said because this is what they said.

>> as we stand here today, all 50 states and territories across the country are opening up safely and responsibly. >> well, that's incorrect. it's factually incorrect. they're not. 11 states are currently on pause. some of them are actually backtracking and closing some things down on plans to reopen. texas and florida specifically, they are rolling back reopening plans. fwof knorrs of the other nine states saying they're not moving forward with reopening. that was incorrect. then the vice president went on to make this claim. >> the truth is we did slow the spread. we flattened the curve. >> so, he says we flattened the the curve. so, let me just show you america's curve. so, you see the surge, right, and then in march, and then you see the plateau. and then you see, you know, the jump there at the end, where we are now, getting to 40,000 cases today. that was a plateau and it's on

its way back up. i want you to compare the graph to these other graphs. these are countries around the world. they have the surge at the beginning, uk, germany, france, italy, south korea, european countries measures thousands of cases, asians in hundreds. look what happens at the bottom. they go all the way back down and stay that way. ours never went down, right, and now it's going back up currently with the same staepness of stoep as it did at the beginning. and yet the vice president was taking a victory lap during today's meeting and he made sure to credit person number one. >> under the leadership of president trump. as the president's made clear -- as credit to our president. the president made that decision. >> so, where was the president during this briefing? well, he was somewhere in the vicinity but he was on twitter talking about confederate statues, tweeting this picture.

he was writing many people in custody with many other being sought for vandly zags. it was hours later that the president did finally say something about the pandemic that's raging right now in the united states like nowhere else. here he is. >> we have a little work to do, and we'll git done. >> well, that's an understatement. we are learning tonight that people traveling from the united states most likely will not be allowed to enter the european union, banned, because the united states has not gotten the virus under control. kaitlan collins is live at the white house. kaitlan, they came out and said everything is opening safely and responsibly and opening in 50 states when that's factually undraw. >> yeah, it wasn't the message that some people were expecting the vice president to project from that briefing today after wednesday's coronavirus task

force briefing and after you're seeing these numbers from this week including yesterday setting a record high of cases per day since the month of april of course which is the last time that they had these coronavirus briefings. you would think they would have taken more questions. the vice president instead only took a handful of them but before he started taking questions, you saw him arguing saying that he doesn't want the american people to think that because of these new surging infections that the united states is where it was two months ago even though the case numbers a day are mirroring that or beating it. the vice president went on to talk about what precautions americans should be taking. he ticked off a list of things that the cdc has recommended but he notably left out wearing a mask when a reporter asked about the fact that masks can become this political issue. he told people he should be following local or state guidance, ignoring the fact that the cdc has recommended people wear masks when they are out in

public and within the vicinity of the other people. he also defended the rallies that he and the president have been holding and encouraging their supporters to come to where thousands of people are put indoors with very little social distancing saying it was people's right to the first amendment, characterizing it more as a personal decision than something they're organizing and urging people to come and to attend. i do want to note two of the most striking things out of that briefing today was the vice president offering a rosie assessment of these numbers and dr. fauci getting up there and having a very soeb erg warning about what's to come and personal responsibility in this. but also erin, the vice president saying he believed it's inarguable that the reason there are more cases in the united states is because there's more testing. dr. birx got up and was going through these slides, and one of the ones she pointed to was of texas where it showed in may as they were increasing testing, their positive test rates were going down. in the last two and a half weeks, they've continued to increase testing, but now those test rates are going up and that

refutes what the president and vice president had been telling people and governors for the last several weeks. >> thank you very much, kaitlan make it is crucial point. the percent test rate is what they're looking at. if you have 20% of them positive, that's the relevant point. it's not the absolute number. and kaitlan, a appreciate your time. let me go to dr. sanjay gupta and dr. jonathan reiner who advised the white house team under george w. bush, currently in the cath lab at gw. the vice president today came out and presented an alternate reality. he said all 50 states and territories across this country are opening up safely and responsibly. that is a quote. obviously you now have double digit states halting, stepping back their reopening altogether. big steps back. >> yeah, i don't even know where to begin with this particular briefing. you would think two months we haven't had a briefing. there's obviously some real

trouble spots in the country, and i'm saying that almost euphemistically. i thought there was going to be an acknowledgment that, look, we have some problems, significant ones, and here is our plan to address them. here's what we're going to do. we're convening the coronavirus task force to address this. we didn't see that at all. so, there's the last task force briefing. you can see what the numbers were at that point and obviously just you see how the numbers have grown even over the last few weeks. so, it was a real concern, and there were a lot of things that were said that were just basically a whitewash of what's actually happening in the country. and that's what i think worries me. how are you going to fix a problem if you don't even acknowledge it. >> right. well, that's the thing. if you're in complete denial about it, you don't have a plan to fix it because you don't believe it's there. when the president actually gave a nod to this this afternoon, his comment was making a lot of progress with the whole situation, but e have a lot of work to do. but he did not attend the briefing.

instead he was tweeting about confederate monuments. so, you know, the vice president there was talking about all the encouraging news, his words talk about coronavirus. so, what do you make of this? and specifically the president's refusal to be there. >> yeah, the president in that tweet about the monuments seems to be more interested in protecting long-dead confederate traders than he is in protecting americans right now. yeah, i was really appalled when the vice president today said, well, we've all heard the encouraging news. the encouraging news, really? there have been 125,000 funerals. it's the equivalent of three jumbo jets of americans crashing every day, and we hear, we've all heard the encouraging news. i want to hear the plan to fix this. the plan is social distancing, universal face masks, ramping up testing, and selective closing of municipalities when the virus is surging.

that's the plan, and that's what our leaders should be saying to this public, not we've all seen the encouraging news. i'm really tired of this sycophantic bout. >> it is stunning too that even when their own task force has said that masks are equivalent to a vaccine, the vice president of the united states didn't even have the courage to state the fact that the people should be wears masks. it's the sort of thing that's incensing. a source close to the task force told you a real schism has developed over the issue of testing. i wanted to play something dr. fauci said about testing in an interview earlier today. >> no way is it good news when you think there are ten times more people infected than you thought there were. i think that's something we need to address which gets to what i was saying of things that i brought up actually months ago to consider start literally flooding the system with testing so you really get a good handle about what is going on in the

community. >> so, sanjay, just to take a step back here, a lot of people do think it is good news that you had ten times more people infected. and they think it is good news because more people have had it and because it takes the death rate down. explain why that is wrong. >> no, that part of it is true. if you have a lot more people out there who have had the infection and didn't know it, they didn't have much in the way of symptoms that will bring the death rate down. what dr. fauci is talking about and what the schism is about is the fact we have not really gotten the testing right in this country. we're sort of extrapolating the numbers you just provided. the reality is we kind of -- the cdc acknowledges we screwed up testing in the beginning. it wasn't a good test released. we got way behind as a result of not having good testing in the beginning. the question is now, middle, end of june why don't we is are the widespread break through in testing that the task force themselves were talking about

two months ago, antigen type testing that people could even have in their homes or at least available, give you quick results. there's questions like how do you do that? could you do it and have accurate results? what my sources have told me have said look, we have had some of the best scientists in the world at our disposal. how have we not figured out how to get widely available rapid accurate testing. if you do that, it would be like you could get tested on a regular basis and we could start to have some of our lives back. we would have to do the masks and physical distancing but that would go a long way. the fact the cdc hasn't done that is a source of some of this friction. >> right. i went, it was hours long wait to get one if you wanted to wait in line with people, some of whom were visibly sick. then you would have to wait three to five days. that's me going in new york. that's now. i mean, i think that might surprise people to hear that. dr. reiner, i want to show you a

tweet today from congressman liz chaney. it's a father of her father, the former vice president dig cheney, wearing the mask with the caption dick cheney says wear the mask, #realmenwearmasks. obviously you know the former vice president well. he wanted to send a message. >> well -- see me wear masks more times than we both would care to remember. i think that's where he got the thought that real men wear masks. i was really glad to see that. there are a lot of people that really listen to the former vice president. parts of this country where the virus is raging, places like texas, is cheney country. they lived in texas for a long time. and he's modeling the behavior that we like to see. i was proud of him. and real men do wear masks. >> sure do. thank you both very much.

outfront next, the most populous county in texas under its highest state of alert tonight. everyone is now urged to stay home except for essential needs. so, what's really happening in houston? a doctor on the front lines is my guest. and it's a simple question, what is president trump's agenda for his second term? >> i didn't know very many people in washington. it wasn't my thing. i was from manhattan, new york. now i know everybody. >> that was his answer to the question about the second term. why would that be your answer? and breaking news, president trump just tweeting he has signed a quote, very strong executive order to protect monuments including those confederate statues. can my side be firm? and my side super soft? yes, with the sleep number 360 smart bed on sale now, you can both adjust your comfort with your sleep number setting. come on pup, time to go. can it help me fall asleep faster? yes, by gently warming your feet.

banning large outdoor gatherings. >> the outbreaks are worsening. health care surge is not only likely but is already in progress. >> governor greg abbott pausing the state's reopening, closing bars and cutting restaurants back to 50% occupancy as new cases continue to surge. >> pausing will not make things better. >> staggering numbers in florida, nearly 9,000 new cases reported on friday. governor ron desantis says the spike is simply result of more testing. >> really nothing has changed in the past week. >> reporter: the state banning on-site alcohol consumption at bars friday, one of at least 11 states now rolling back or pausing reopening plans. >> you will see with the death rates, they're lagging. >> reporter: the vice president painting a much different picture. >> we're in a much stronger place. the truth is we did slow the spread. we flattened the curve. >> reporter: the curve is actually going up.

nearly 40,000 new cases recorded on thursday, an all-time high and a new peak. 32 states moving in the strong direction over the past week. >> it's 20% positivity in tests taken in arizona. >> just 12% of arizona's icu beds were available on thursday. of those in use, nearly 40% occupied by covid-19 patients. >> if we don't extinguish the outbreak, sooner or later even ones that are doing well are going to be vulnerable to the spread. >> the white house task force now considering full testing, combining multiple samples to find and isolate infections more quickly because in the words of dr. anthony fauci, something's not working. sharply different story in the northeast where plans for in-person learning are now on the table in several states. >> the maximum number of kids that can be in school, that is

our goal. >> as officials cautiously watch the spread. >> if anyone thinks this is over, look at the data coming out of the states in the south and southwest. >> reporter: one of those states in the south to keep an eye on opened early is south carolina where today we learned the highest number of hospitalizations were reported and the second highest day for cases in that state. governor says hospitals are 75% capacity. when they hit 80%, that's when they go into surge capacity. younger people among the positive cases, under 40 specifically the 30 to 35 demographic. when it comes to masks, the governor says he will not mandate them in the state calling it impractical, saying it would be tough to enforce. >> thank you very much. i want to go to an emergency room doctor is houston. doctor, i appreciate your time. you're in harris county tonight. tell me what it's like.

when you're in the er, what are you seeing? >> the ers are full. my er both the public and private emergency departments are full. patients are waiting for wbeds. the general feeling is one of tension and overachieved concern. people are worried. people are stressed. >> you're talking about the ers are full, people waiting for beds, hospitalizations at record highs in the state of texas. again, where you are in houston, harris county, the top official says they have less than a week to three weeks before they run out of all hospital capacity. are you worried about that happening? >> i think everybody's worried about that running out of resources when it comes to taking care of patients during this uncredible spike that we seem to be in the middle of. we don't really know how high the number of cases will go and

if our resources that are limited will be outstripped by the need and the number of patients who are sick. right now i can tell you that we are blessed in houston. we have a giant texas medical center. we have an ability to surge like almost nowhere else that has ever -- almost like nowhere else in the country. so, because of that, we do have the ability to increase beds. our children's hospital is admitting patients who are under 30. we have our cancer hospital is admitting patients who are sick who also have a cancer diagnosis. we're really doing everything to really take care of everyone the absolute best way possible. everyone's worried that we're not going to have enough. i don't necessarily know if it's going to happen. i'm cautiously optimistic that when the resources we have and with the new constraints put in

place this week or here this week that we can hopefully see a down trend of cases within the next one to three weeks. but it is overwhelming to say the least. >> how sick are the people who are coming in? >> honestly, we see a whole range of people who come into the emergency department. we do see very sick people with very low oxygen levels. and it's somewhat incredible to myself and to my colleagues as physicians. we've never seen oxygen levels this low this commonly. that's something that's very special to coronavirus. and so we see patients who come in who are absolutely as sick as can be imagined and who are admitted to the icu. we see young people. we see otherwise healthy people who are sick but are otherwise well and were able to discharge them home. there is quite a spectrum of ages, of severity, all of it.

>> so, the governor of your state, governor abbott, i'm sorry, spoke earlier this week about-face masks. here's what he said. >> i know that some people feel that wearing a mask is inconvenient or it is like an infringement of freedom. but i also know that wearing a mask will help us to keep texas open. >> look, he's making his point of view there very clear, which i know is important. but obviously there is no mandate to wear masks in texas. should there be? would it help? >> you know, i have my master's in public health and i always have an eye towards public health. i would love to see a mandate to everyone to wear a mask in the state of exttexas or wherever there's an outbreak. there's obviously the draconian and just awful measures of shutting down the economy, and we did that across the country. and then of course starting

first, texas reopened. but i do find it a tragedy that we felt that economic toll and erin has fe everyone has felt it. it is a truly awful experience for this entire country like i've never imagined or seen in my lifetime. but at the same time we did this, and once we started opening, we didn't mandate masking. we didn't mandate the social distancing that i do believe would have helped us avoid spikes like this. and unfortunately, i haven't seen the -- i haven't seen where people are just left to their own devices without any kind of mandate or without any kind of consequence that those rules have really been followed. and i don't think it's bad people. i think it's human nature. it's really hard to maintain the masking and the social distancing. it is not in our nature to be

isolated like this. we want to see our loved ones. we want to leave our homes. and we have to balance that. and i do think that we do need stricter rules in place so that we can keep our economy open. >> all right. well, a appreciate your time. thank you so much. >> thank you. and next, new poll showing trump trailing biden in some crucial swing states. so, again we're months away, but these numbers are kind of every where right now. what do they mean? and despite warning after warning, rising infections, why some americans still do refuse to do the one thing that we know works best, wear a mask. >> no matter the circumstances? >> no matter the circumstances. it should be up to you. you have a right to wear it or not wear it. given my unique lifestyle, that'd be perfect! let me grab a pen and some paper. know what? i'm gonna switch now. just need my desk...

my chair... and my phone. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ do you know how it feels to live with schizophrenia? i am a good parent. jared? i'm hearing the most awful things, people shouting at me. it's ok. when you live with schizophrenia like us,

tonight, new warning signs for president trump. there are new fox news polls out tonight showing joe biden with a nine-point lead over trump in florida and biden ahead but in the margin of error in three other states trump won in 2016 georgia, north carolina, and

texas. college polls also found biden beating trump in six swing states which trump won in 2016 and by double digits in must-win states, michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin which of course he won by less than a percentage point last time. outfront now the former governor of ohio john kasich. these are a slew of swing states we are now talking about. these are polls from various organizations. and they're showing the same thing in state after state. how much do you -- we're months away and we're in a very unprecedented time. but how much do you read into this? >> i kind of feel as though he jumped the shark, erin. that's the thing where the guy goes too far or person goes too far, they begin to lose the audience. the trip he made in front of that church was a disaster. the rambling, whatever it was down there in tulsa didn't go

well, and that long dissertation about why he had trouble walking down the ramp just left people shaking their head. where is he on the masks? i can't figure out. he was elected i believe because a lot of people said let's shake it off. when you have the racial problems we have, the unrest, when you have the virus beginning to rear its ugly head again in a very spiking sort of a way, people begin to -- and you see the economy hurting, people begin to say enough of all that shaking, we need somebody who can manage. so, it's going to be incumbent on joe biden to be able to convince people that he's got the stamina and the capability to do this. but when you mention georgia, north carolina, and texas, i mean those are places that should be slam dunk for republicans. but a lot of problems here. he's losing his -- he's losing of course the college educated folks. i think the other interesting thing is erin, i put a tweet about this last week. i think he's beginning to lose

more and more people of faith who have about had it with the division, the name calling and all that. >> well, texas, i mean just to put it out there, to your point, the last time texas went democratic was 1976. and it does come as "the wall street journal" which of course, editorial of the "wall street journal" conservative newspaper, coming out saying as of now president trump has no more agenda than four more years of himself. to that point, the president's friend, sean hannity, gave him a really easy question that's night, right? i'm sure sean thought this was not a problem. here's the exchange. >> what's at stake in this election as you compare and contrast, and what are your top priority items for a second term? >> well, one of the things that will be really great, you know the word experience is still good. i always say talent is more important than experience. i've always said that. but the word experience is a very important word.

it's an important meaning. i never did this before. i never slept over in washington. i was in washington 17 tombs, all of a sudden i'm president of the united states. you know the story. i'm riding down pennsylvania avenue with the first lady and i say this is great. but i didn't know very many people in washington. it wasn't my thing. i was from manhattan, from new york. now i know everybody. and i have great people in the administration. you make some mistakes like an idiot like bolton, all he wanted to do was drop bombs on everybody. you don't have to drop bombs on everybody. you don't have to kill people. >> okay. so, what do you make of that? >> well, first of all, he fired all the really competent. i don't understand who's even in there or why they stay. maybe they're trying to keep their finger in the dike or something. but he had no agenda the last time, barely an agenda. just i think yesterday or the day before, think about this erin, he filed a motion with the supreme court to kill the

accountable care act which would mean 20 million people would lose health insurance in the middle of covid. what is he even thinking? then you'll have no healing on immigration. our allies have just run the other way. and what they're praying is this is a momentary lapse of reason. i hate to quote pink floyd, but it's true. it's a momentary lapse of reason. they hope there's going to be change. when i hear him say there's no agenda, i believe it. there's not an agenda. there hasn't bun much of one. a lot of people say i don't like his tweeting, but he's had good policy. the economy did better but the deaths skyrocketed. then we see divisions in the country, enough of this. can we have a return to normalcy? i think this election is not going to be about this great vision for the future. it's about getting back to normal. and i think that's what joe biden has to communicate. >> all right. well, i appreciate your time. it's interesting you put it that

way because i think we are all now thinking about normalcy in a way we would never have comprehended before. normalcy, going out to dinner. people want their lives back. >> they do. they do. when they're worried about the economy, when they're worried about the unrest in the streets and when they worry about getting sick, i'm tired of experimenting. give me somebody that can right the ship. >> i appreciate your time, governor, as always. thank you. >> thanks erin, very much. next is trump's response to a nation in crisis hurting him with his base at all? >> you ask me five months ago, i'm going to say to you definitely trump because he handle everything right. but now -- >> and president trump signing an executive order tonight protecting conservative statues, confederate memorials. president of the naacp my guest to tell you something you probably didn't know about those statues.

this is nothing new. throughout our history

any time something bad has happened to us ...we've recovered. every time. we fall, we rise. we break, we rebuild. we stumble, we learn. we come together. we work together. we innovate and create. we meet up and get to work. we find our way forward. every time. this has been the key to our survival, the key to our growth that whenever we thought we were at our weakest, this is when we became the strongest, became the best version of ourselves, and found our way home. together. masimo. together in hospital. together at home. 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. a partner who makes sure every step is clear, here's what we want everyone to do. count all the hugs you haven't given. all the hands you haven't held. all the dinners you didn't share with friends. the trips you haven't taken. keep track of them. each one means one less person vulnerable, one less person exposed,

and one step closer to a healthier community. so for now, keep your distance. but don't lose count. we'll have some catching up to do. this virus is testing all of us. and it's testing the people on the front lines of this fight most of all. so abbott is getting new tests into their hands, delivering the critical results they need. and until this fight is over, we...will...never...quit. because they never quit. new tonight the house democrats sending republicans for refusing to wear masks

during a hearing on coronavirus. jim jordan has been not wearing a mask. >> i grew up believing that the first sign of a good education is good manners. i think it's good manners to look ut fout for your fellow me. i see all the staff wearing masks. i know what this is. >> it is really bizarre in so many ways because obviously most republicans are wearing masks on capitol hill. republican governors even are coming out saying wear masks, but they're refusing to mandate them despite a surging number of cases. >> reporter: the sunshine state in a state of crisis, the number of coronavirus infections climbing at alarming rates with florida reporting nearly 9,000 new cases, its highest single day to date.

cities like hollywood now mandating masks be worn in public even outdoors except when exercising. >> i think with the numbers rising here, just do it. it's selfish not to. >> i think it should be your freedom. >> no matter the circumstances. >> no matter the circumstances. it should be up to you. it's your right. >> except you could give it to someone and it could kill them. >> i mean, that's life. at this point, i could also give someone the common cold. i can also give someone the flu. right? >> except those maybe don't have as high a death rate. >> i think it's a little overrated. >> reporter: while some see government mask orders as infringing on their rights, officials once confident they had beat the virus are scrambling to contain it. new infections skyrocketing.

thursday statewide 13% of those tested came back positive. near orlando, 23% positive for the virus. in lee county, fort myers, nearly 20%. in miami-dade county, 14% positive. and here in broward, nearly 12% positive, all way too high. >> right now in florida we're doing this, the criteria is supposed to be going downward. as long as it's going downward, you can open. but for us it's paused. >> reporter: look, the mask order is a good thing, she says, because it protects me, my employees, and my customers. as wearing a mask has become increasingly political, driven largely by the president and his handling of the crisis, even some supporters are beginning to question his judgment and their vote. >> you ask me five months ago,

i'm going to say to you definitely trump because he handle everything right. but now, with all the -- >> because of the pandemic? >> the pandemic and also all that happens now. it's complicated now. >> reporter: miguel marquez, cnn, florida. and next, president trump saying he is no longer going to his golf club in new jersey this weekend so he can ensure law and order is enforced. and dash cam video capturing the three sheriff's deputies of tennessee striking a black man while handcuffed. why? what was the story here? and look, it feels like i'm just wasting time. that's why td ameritrade designed a first-of-its-kind, personalized education center. oh. their award-winning content is tailored to fit your investing goals and interests. and it learns with you, so as you become smarter, so do its recommendations. so it's like my streaming service. well except now you're binge learning.

it cannot be measured by a lab test. research shows people who take h-i-v treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit h-i-v through sex. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. rare, life-threatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your doctor. common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. if you're living with hiv, keep loving who you are. and ask your doctor if biktarvy is right for you. breaking news, president trump signing an executive order protecting national monuments including confederate statues. the president tweeting, quote long prison terms for these law es acts against our great

country. outfront now the former president of the naacp and president of the people for the american way. the president tweeting this fbi notice for people suspected of trying to vandalize the statue of andrew jackson. he posted while his coronavirus task force was holding the first public briefing in many weeks. so, why is the president so fixated on the issue of confederate statues? >> you know, he's become a weapon of mass distraction. he's doubling down because he's scared. what's happening is that moderate voters have begun to move away from him as his racism has become more and more apparent and more and more frankly part of what he shows us every day. he appears to double down on his base, tried to motivate them, sending signals that he's there, for instance, to protect confederate monuments. of course what he can never do is stop local people, local leaders, from actually having

those monuments taken down and replaced. and it seems like a movement is building to do just that. >> so, the president then also saying he's cancelled his trip to his new jersey golf club this weekend where he likes to go on the weekends. he says he's doing that to ensure law and order and enforced. i don't know what that means but i know new jersey has a 14 day quarantine for people coming from hot spot states including ones the president visited earlier been in those states like secret service agents, right? we know some of them and his advanced team tested positive for the virus after oklahoma. not even acre nknowledging that. he's going to make sure law and order is enforced. >> what's most important is what the president is not talking about. we've seen the biggest surge of covid cases in one day ever.

20,000 plus in cases. vice president pence has been out there celebrating governors who are reopening. in the midst of this. they are completely tone deaf and the president keeps going to his base trying to inflame them, bashing cities. acting like he's a sheriff of washington when he's the president of the united states and we need him to lead on this pandemic and he's not doing it. >> ben, i wanted to give you a chance on this issue of the confederate statute. you said something the other day, i wanted to give you a chance to explain more. when people say that some of these are relics of history and that you don't just, you know, erase history, that you keep it there and they have reasons. you were saying they were put up to begin with as part of a propaganda. their initial intent was propaganda. can you explain? i want to make sure people heard you. >> sure, i would encourage people to google mayor mitch landrieu's speech on these confederate monuments, it's

about 20 minutes and he lays it out in an ill prempressive way. there was a movement of the lost cause brought by the descendants of confederate soldiers to rewrite history. that included multiple propaganda planks and included movies like "birth of a nation" that completely lied about black people in a way credited with recruiting people to the can you cl ku klux klan and the only part that stood the test of time is monuments. when you tear down these monuments, when you have them taken down legally, rather, these confederate monuments, you're finally ending a failed campaign. >> all right. ben, appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you very much. next, a new case of a black man shouting i can't breathe as three sheriff's deputies are seen striking him while he's

handcuffed. what's the story behind this? that's next. these are extraordinary times, and we want to thank the extraordinary people in the healthcare community, working to care for all of us. at novartis, we promise to do our part. as always, we're doing everything we can to help keep cosentyx accessible and affordable. if you have any questions at all, call us, email us, visit us online. we're here to help support you when you need us. take care, and be well. to learn more, call one eight four four cosentyx or visit cosentyx.com

tonight, new and disturbing video from tennessee where a dash camera shows three sheriff's deputies repeatedly striking a black man in handcuffs with their batons. the man at one point shouting i can't breathe. a warning that some of the video you will see in this piece is disturbing. >> reporter: newly released video from outside chattanooga shows sheriff's deputies stopping and talking to 32-year-old reginald herrington junior. they took him into custody for illegally walking on a road way as they lead him in handcuffs to a vehicle, a struggle begins. herrington collapses with one deputy on top of him and three others begin striking him with their batons.

a growing national debate about police, excessive use of force and people of color who often suffer as a result. martin salvidgesavidge, cnn, at >> that was hard to watch. well, i thank all of you for watching and we'll see you on monday. anderson starts now. it is admittedly hard to say good evening at the end of a week that saw the worst day yet in terms of new coronavirus cases in this country or the worst day ever by far in the state of florida with nearly 9,000 new infections there. it is tough to end the day with 32 states now showing rising case counts and just seven with declining numbers. harder still to look at that green line there for new cases in this country and compare it to the european union in pink. late today, we were told that american travelers are unlikely to be allowed into member countr
