parents on a video call. she will need round the clock care when she does go home. her family set up a go fund me page. you see the info there on the skroon. we wish sylvia and her entire family the best in the weeks and months and years ahead. the news continues right now. we want to hand it over to questions for cuomo prime team. >> esther, a huge towering figure in the bible. she was a fighter. she fought for her people and she will fight for herself now. a great story, thank you, my friend. anderson, i am chris cuomo. welcome to "prime time." 127,000 dead. the task force says we could be headed to 100,000 cases a day. that's the bad news, what itself the food news? there is a chance. the key is the same as it's always been my brothers and sisters, we must be together as ever as one. you, me and a perversely self interested president makes three.

will tonight be the night that trump finally tells people to socially distance and wear a mask? we'll see. plus, you've likely seen this video, husband and wife taking up arms after protesters showed up if front of their house. what were they afraid of? is this the portrait of where america is right now? others talk about this, i say let's talk to the people in it. we have the husband who held that long rifle as his wife aimed a handgun at the crowd. what do you say? let's get after it. fact or fauci versus fiction. that's where we are tonight. here's dr. fauci. >> one of the things that i would like to see is an appreciation on the part of our entire nation of the importance of responding as a nation as a

whole and not have a situation when you have a challenge such as we have right now, we have very desperate responses. we've got to do it in a coordinated way. because we are all in this together. >> one, that tells you we have no coordinated national response. 100 plus days into this. think about that. six months ago is when we learned about this, fauci is on the task force says still done have a national response. think about that put it in contrast to the president who is clearly, forget about together, he is only in it for himself and the trumpets blowing his tune of avoidance like this guy. >> we're not going back closing things. i don't think that that really is what's driving it. people going to business is not what's driving it. >> really? here's what's going open. captain, there is a storm ahead, our course is set. i don't think it's a problem. captain, we're taking on water. the pumps aren't working, the

course is set. my boss says the storm is going to go away. that's desantis playing to trump, playing to trump like a captain trying to be like the guy on the costa concordia. do you remember how that shepp wound up? here's the picture from 2012. i remember, too. you know how i remember in bunker, i was there. still a big jacket, don't have that grey hair. the captain in that case was worried about his own fate. he literally left everyone else to die. who will sound the alarm here that happened in that case? do you remember the famous word, get back on board you jerk. are you the captain. lead people to safety. who will tell trump to start thinking of everyone else and start addressing what he avoids, the need for masks. and distancing. and central planning. reopening with smarts. and to avoid what he is

addressing. division. making people think this isn't that bad and rewarding cronies like governor desantis and others who through recklessness and silence are literally making us sick. pro tip, mr. president, avoiding this is only making it worse. and, yes, your re-election may welcome down to this moment. time to get back on the ship and find a better course. vata aboardo, get back at the helm. lead us. the storm is here. 15 states saw their highest 7-die averages for new daily cases as of yesterday from alaska to florida. the united states is a country united in crisis. when will this white house get that? let's bring in the chief doctor, sanjay gupta. sanjay, is there any rational to avoid what we are seeing as

being anything but urgency that requires urgent changes? . >> no i mean, people, you can't think of this in terms of the short range or lon range sort of planning right now. it's now. things have to be done right now. because we're seeing these numbers sort of gather steam like a big ship, chris, you get so much inertia, it becomes hard to slow down and you are adding more and more fuel to the fire with all these microdecisions that we hear people not wearing masks, airlines starting to crowd, people back on the planes again, all those microdecisions are more fuel for that fire and it's, you know, we've got to do everything we can right now to slow this thing down and then sort of reassess. but there is no need or no rational at all to wait on any of these decision now, chris. >> microdecisions that are co-efficient of macromisunderstandings. governor desantis. i don't think people going into

business is the problem. politicians in texas. no, i think it was probably the protesters. that's why things -- those are nonsensical assertions. or do i have it wrong? >> no, at this point because there is so much inertia going into this growth of cases, because there is so much virus out there, we have to do everything we can to pull it back. i mean, governor desantis, you know, he was as we know, you've shown the clip, he was doing victory laps and i think the entire state took a queue and the queue was the virus started to then really spread throughout that state. so even now compared to a month ago, the same strategies you would use a month ago. the idea is sort of like maybe starting to incrementally let things happen. you can't do that now. we lost that chance. we lost that act to make the decision. the virus is now making decisions for us. you nope, the idea that people are still saying we are weighing the decision about masks. we are weighing the decision about reopening. you can keep doing that. the reality is the virus will

make the decision for you. hospitals will become too crowded. people won't have anywhere to go. the virus is going to dictate all that. it's already happening in some of these places, chris. >> well, the good news is down in florida, at least everybody at the briefing had masks on, including the governor. we're still not getting that on the federal level. we have this biz ar ro situation going on where fauci and now we've heard from others saying we need a coordinated national effort. they're on the task force. the vice president is in charge of the national task force and we don't have a national strategy? have you ever heard of anything like that? >> no, i mean, this, i mean, i don't know how to answer that question. i've never heard of ooeng anything like that. the fact that we don't have a tsunami of activity around some of these things, a tsunami around testing, the tsunami of activity around masks, around the contact tracing, all these things. each of these things separately

should have had almost their own task force to make it work. that was something zeke emanuel talked about. but we don't have anything that draws these things together. and i will tell you, i think even within the task force, there is some friction over some of these things, because of the lack of action. i mean, two months ago, they were saying we're anticipating a big break through in testing. we're going to make it so people can get tested anywhere, any time and get a sense of normalcy again. >> it didn't happen. >> it didn't happen? we had a kid on my team got tested pro fill lakt kale took days and days. >> that should not be the case. you want to be normal to go in the studio with your team, if you can get tested on some sort of regular basis, that would go a long way. by the way, they do that at the white house as you know. >> they don't wait six days to get the results. >> they do it right away and do tests daily there. that's good. but why can't we do that in other place in the country to

get back to some sense of norm el normalcy as well. >> go ahead, make your point. >> today, six months, today six months to the day. >> yep. >> when we first heard about this strange cluster of pneumonia out of china. now we see 10 million people infected, 500,000 people dead, sex months to the day, chris. >> the national emergency has been over 100 days, i think almost 110 days. he says there is no national coordinated plan to deal with these situations. now, something you pointed out, important for people. people are making the right choices, all over the place i seen them. one they cover their faces, what you use matters. will you put up the full screen of how far coughs travel based on different materials that sanjay's team gave us, please? or i'll read them out loud. none, 8 feet, bandana 3.6,

foldled hanky 1.25, a commercial cone mask 8 inches. stitched mask, two layers, 2.5 inches. so the farther you go away from the actual masks that people want you to wear, the more it can go. boy, bandana 3.6. that sucks. a lot of people are wearing bannon danas. >> folded over. that makes a difference. we have the video. i don't know, you can show the actual video of what it shows, masked, non-masked. it's not perfect. you start to do the math there. that is an exponential decrease in transmission. that's not me coughing, no that is a model, now put the mask on this person, you will see how big a difference it makes if you do this under a, take a look. >> all right. >> so a little virus coming out, not getting very far. not really affecting anybody

other than the person themselves. chris, i thought about it myself for some time. this isn't an invisible particle, unseen enemy as we call it. what if you could see it? out of people's nose and mouths? >> changes everything. >> and tethered by 6 feet. we can't see it, therefore, we think of it not being real. >> i'll tell you how i in a moment when i was at abc news 100 years ago. okay. we started doing black light stories on the kind of funk that you find wherevertime people congregate, hotel rooms, you know, everywhere and it changed -- i've never had stories react the way that did for people to see what was on the doorknob, the ceiling, the this and that. it changes when you can see it. if people saw it coming out of people's faces, we'd feel differently. i don't think we'd need the guidance from above, the federal officials and the white house. right now we do. if our president doesn't acknowledge we need masks and socially distance and take this

seriously, we're not going to get -- his voice is too big, too powerful to be silent, it is, it's worse than silent. he is giving the wrong message. sanjay, i got to jump. you always give the wright message. i think that's you in this model. if you don't want to go with that. we'll talk soon. i love you, brother. the trump campaign scrapped plans for an alabama rally next week, why? fears over the rising covid rate. when it comes to the mother of all photo ops, mount rushmore, we know why this president can't resist going there. he will take the risk for everybody else. thousands are expected in south dakota this weekend. no need for social distancing says the governor. we're doing great here. let's talk to a key ally in south dakota about whether or not this is the right move and, if so, why. next.

the show goes on this friday at mount rushmore despite the coronavirus. why? because the president wants it. >> question will have a large event july 3rd. we told folks that have concerns they can stay home. those that want to come and join us, we'll be giving out free

face masks if they choose to wear one. but we won't be social distancing. >> the fourth of july festivities typically draw close to 30,000 people. this year you add in a presidential visit and return of fireworks after 11 years at the site, this could be the largest event in the country since the pandemic started. is that a good thing? let's bring in congressman dusty johnson to see if this is what he wants to do during a health crisis. good to see you, congressman, thank you for taking the opportunity. i hope you and your family are healthy during this time. so are you happy that your state will have the distinction of having the most people crowded into a place during a pandemic? >> well, let's be clear, chris, we're not talking 30,000 people, we're talking a limited number of tickets, 7500 folks in an outdoor venue with health screening available. everybody is going to be given a mask. you know i recommend they wear them. i thought your last segment was

very insightful. i think that's very important. one more thing, south dakota, the landscape is unique. we only have 62 covid patients hospitalize across the entire state. our number of cases are going down. this is not texas. this is not california. this is not florida. and, frankly, we know that we can do this in south dakota because in the wake of george floyd, we had protests. we had large numbers of people together in close proximity. they were wearing masks. they were outside. we did not see a spike in infections and i think celebrating our country is every bit as important as protesting it. >> of course, celebrating the country matters. it's not this or that. right. it's about how. having thousands of people in one place, why not do it with social distancing? >> well, i do think you want to make sure that when any time you have these events that you are being, you are being driven by good data and what we know from people like gottlieb and birx

and fauci is if you got a community or area that has 80% mask compliance, the rate of transmission goes down by more than 90%. i encourage everybody at mount rushmore to wear that mask. >> so why don't you tell them to wear the mask if you know the 80% number is key and you are not going to have them socially distance, why make it an option? >> i would say this, this has been run by the national park service. these are dedicated professionals who understand how to run an event like this and you know the governor has done a good job as well, when so many people across this country, they were shutting down their states, he ran it a different way. the data shows you don't have to shut down an economy to keep people safe. >> congressman, we both know a huge reason south dakota has been spared because it doesn't have density and population the other states does. the idea staying opened helps you avoid coronavirus is absurd. i'm not talking about the parks

delaware i know they do a great job. i have been around them for decades. i seen them do their jobs in the worse worst of situation, they're beautiful people. they are not making the call about masks, you are, the politicians are. why should masks be optional when the only way you stave off the virus in a congested place is having one? why isn't it mandatory? >> well, listen, you do have governors out there who understand the different landscapes need to be treated differently. the governor of new york is treating the people of south dakota differently than the people of florida. he understands florida is a hot spot and a different risk management approach is needed for florida folks than it is for south dakota folks. >> it is not a comparison. >> if the governor of new york can treat the people of south dakota differently, why can't the governor of south dakota? >> good question. here's the answer. because it's about the basis for the choice. andrew is saying, look, you can criticize the choice, can i

criticize it, but i have plans for this weekend that involve my family. so what i'm saying is this, the basis for the governor of new york with florida is, your cases are out of control and are you not doing what you need to do to control them. this is not apples to apples in south dakota you don't have the problem with cases. let's move away from that analogy. it's cumbersome. let's deal with the specific analogy, you were correct. dr. fauci does say 80% compliance with masks gives you a great chance of cutting down on viruses. but that means you should make them mandatory not option am. because you will not get the masks, especially at a trump rally if you make them optional because a lot of people who support the president as you know have magically been convinced that a mask is weakness and may be an insult to him. >> well, let me be very clear about this, a mask is not weakness, i mean, i wear a mask all the time in the capital.

i wear it to thune's hardware, i wear it on the air, in close proximity to people. now my government doesn't tell me i got to do that. i do it because it's the right thing to do. i think people at mount roushmore will wear a mask. there have been people who feel that government is the only entity that has all of the answers. and then there are people who feel we knead to collectively step up as communities, as societies and families and make good decisions. i think we're going to get better compliance long term, chris, if we work together to get this done rather than have some sort of edict from washington, d.c. >> but the edict from washington, d.c. isn't about how to raise your kid. it's about what you know as a matter of fact helps you in this situation. i guess, dusty, what i'm having trouble understanding is, i get the argument that big brother is telling us how to live our lives. we don't like it. that's different than the situation where the data

suggests that this is best and perhaps given the way you've set up this event your only chance of seeing no viral spread on any mask scale. isn't it a no brainer to say to people, look, we're not doing the social distancing, which is dumb. but, let's wear masks so we give ourselves a chance, period, how does mandatory help? >> chris, where was all of this love of mandatory, be ig government regulations when we had people rightfully exercising their first amendment rights in hundreds of communities across the country, many of them wearing masks, they should have been good for them. but it seems to help that the love of big government only rears its big head. >> where is gig government? >> you said fauci said 80% you accept it. >> this isn't about big government, who cares about big or small government. >> set aside the government, why would the standard for tense of thousands protesting their government, with i they have an absolute right to do. why would the rules be different

for them than people celebrating this country? >> the protest is not organized by official entities. >> sometimes they are. >> it's how we wanted to keep the police and protesters from clashing. imagine what we would have done enforcing mask policies, asyou point out, a lot of people wore masks. it's not apples to apples. and again. >> so why does it matter who organizes it? >> its plays in a situation about public health, dusty. >> political convenience, political convenience is saying as long as there is not one organizer, we don't need to have a resolution rule or regulation. >> this is organized by government. >> the protests weren't. >> they weren't, but you can still have rules and regulations. >> for protests? >> absolutely. you can say, everybody, these are to the rules, you got to follow the rules. conveniently, cnn and your show weren't calling for those. >> hold on, dust 85. hold on, i was talking about super spreaders of the protests. we had multiple segments how it

will be wrong. but you cannot believe this is apples to apples. are you organizing this by choice. those are protests of people who in many cases are angry and outraged and were trying to keep the temperature down. we, forget about me. i cover it. you are trying to keep it down. you make the decision how the police deal with protesters on a large scale and to have them enforce a no mask policy when they're already hitting the streets because of police intervention in their lives would have been madness, it's not apples to apples, unless you are only looking at this through a partisan lens, the left, right, the protests. why don't they like our fireworks display? i think that's unfair and counterproductive. >> chris, you want to talk about political convenience. political convenience is wanting to have an entirely set of rules protesting their country hand the those celebrating it. the bottom line is people should be wearing the masks. i think a lot of them would be. >> more would be if it were mandatory. i appreciate you coming here to make the case. you always have an invitation to

do so good blegod bless you and your family. media, what did you think when you saw this? the video of the husband and wife pulling out the guns when the protesters went by their mansion? do you think that you were under siege? what do you think about this reaction? should they have been afraid? i wanted to hear their side of the story? because i honestly believe this is a metaphor, for our country right now. it's no way for us to move forward together. let's have the conversation. mark mccloskey is here to take us through what he saw and fear and the rational he and his wife used. let's listen up ahead. hey lily, i'm hearing a lot about 5g. should i be getting excited? depends. are you gonna want faster speeds? i will. more reliability? oh, also yes. better response times? definitely. are you gonna be making sourdough bread? oh, is that 5g related? no, just like why is everyone making sourdough now...

were headed to the st. louis mayor's home, angry that she had revealed some of the home addresses of people demanding police reform. now that you have watched the video, let's hear what mark mccloskey has to say about it. he's here next. now is the time for a new bath from bath fitter. every bath fitter bath is installed quickly, safely, and beautifully, with a lifetime warranty. go from old to new. from worn to wow. the beautiful bath you've always wanted, done right, installed by one expert technician, all in one day. we've been creating moments like these for 35 years, and we're here to help you get started. book your free virtual or in-home design consultation today.

we are now joined by morocco mccloskey. he is the st. louis homeowner all over social media. he and his wife holding guns, keeping protesters away, in their opinion, from their home on a private street. he is an attorney and the couple also has outside counsel who joins us now, albert watkins, thank you both for joining me. >> is indeed. >> indeed. >> counsellor and mr

mr. mccloskey/counsellor, we can talk about the legal rights and the facts. but i want to talk about not having a right but whether or not something is right first. which is, how do you feel about becoming the face of political resistance to the black lives matter movement? >> first of all, that's a completely ridiculous statement. i'm not the face of anything opposing to black lives matters movement. i was a person scared for my life, protecting my wife, my home, my heart, my livelihood, i was a victim of a mob that came through the gate. i didn't care what color they were. i didn't care what their motivation was. i was frightened. i was assaulted and i was in imminent fear they would run me over, kill me, and after i listen to context in st. louis june 2nd of this year, i watched the city burn, i watched the 711 get smashed in, looted and

burned for 40 minutes on live television with nobody showing up to do anything. i realized at that time, we're on our own, when bad things happen, they unpredictably turn real bad real fast. that same fight the police captain david doran was murdered. these things get very bad very quickly. when those people came through the gate, when it was a mob, i didn't take the time to see tear birth certificates or anything else, i was defending my life, my house, my wife and what i spent 32 years building there. >> i understand what you said your rational was, to be clear, did anything happen to you or your property? >> did anything happen? yeah. my life has been ruined. >> no, no, no we'll get to that, mr. mccloskey, i don't mean to cut you off. i'm saying that night, did anything happen to you, your family and your property? >> yeah, it's called social intimidation, terrorism. what is the definition of

terrorism, to use violence and intimidation, that's what happened to me. that's the damage i suffered. >> you were the one pointing a loaded weapon at a group of people who were walking past, looking for the mayor's house as a point of protest. >> chris, that's an entirely false concept. no single media outlet has ever mentioned the complete falsity of that statement. the mayor's house cannot be reached through my neighborhood. he lives up on a road lake and walk. that's three blocks north and a half a mile west of my house. >> so where do you think they were going. >> >> they were going through a private neighborhood for the intention of going through a private neighborhood, in my humble opinion, in retrospect. at the time i didn't have time to think about this. however the leader of the entity called expect us, that organized this, whatever it was, announced ahead of time that he does not want to have a peaceful protest. he wants to have it be as disruptive as possible. and when interviewed subsequently, he said, i know it

was illegal. i know it was a private neighborhood, but when you are doing protests of this nature, it's necessary to break the law to get your ends met. that's what was happening. of course, i didn't know any of that at the time, all i knew was that hundreds of people screaming, shouting, angry, broke through the private gate. everything inside that gate is private property. >> right. >> any pretence of protests as opposed to terrorism ended when they broke through that gate. >> terrorism is a strong word, counselor, don't you think? let's stipulate for the point of this conversation that -- i let you make your points, let the rejoineders happen then you can go. >> sure. sure. >> you got counsel with you, you are safe, i promise. the idea that they broke the law, i give it to you. they went through a private gate. i am sure have you video of it or somebody can prove that. i stipulate. they went through the gate. but they're yelling, they're

angry. they did not go up your steps. they didn't go to your house. they didn't touch you, they didn't try to enter your home or do anything to your kids, but you say you were assaulted. you are using a civil definition of that, which is that you had the apprehension that something bad was going to happen to you, but nothing did. but to call it terrorism when the people are there protesting thousand community is treated by the police is a little bit reverse psychology at a minimum, is it not? >> no you are absolutely wrong. the reason why they did not get up my steps was that my wife and i were there with weapons to keep them off our steps. >> how do you know? >> because they were coming at us until i displayed the weapon and that stopped them. i came out -- >> so i'm sure a house like that has cameras. do you have video of them coming up the steps and being in your house? >> i'm not going to discuss the level of my private security on national television. >> oh, but do you have proof of them actually approaching your house? >> you know, chris, this is not

a black lives matters movement issue. this is a matter of not just one discussion we should have to have. we shouldn't have to have this discussion. every challenge old white man like me needs to listen and hear the message, the message of black lives matter. what the second part of this discussion is, and it's not mutually exclusive, is the rights constitutional rights of each and every citizen in this land. they can't be compromised without recognizing that the message of black likes matter will cease to have any meaning at all. >> you what who is -- how did that justify what happened here, counsellor? i'm not saying -- >> it's a justification. >> to say that they entered a private street. but they were protesting. and he has become the face, how

so? the president retweeted this for a reason, counselor. >> he became the face involuntarily. >> i'm not saying it was voluntary. i'm saying why do you think the president retweeted it? >> you can kahl talk all night if you don't let me answerer. >> i -- >> that's a separate question. >> no, that's the one i'm asking. >> well, that's a second question. maybe you should ask the president. >> you should ask the president. >> he doesn't answer my question. >> i'm not going to speak for the president, quite frankly, i find it probably an impossibility for anyone to speak for the president. that's certainly what one wants to say the president speaks. >> i don't know what the hell are you you can tack about. mr. mccloskey, the president retweeted this for a reason. why do you think he retweeted it? >> i don't have any idea why the president retweeted it. i've not seen the retweet. i think you ought to ask the president. >> he deleted it.

>> i was reluctant to come on your show for a similar reason. let me say this you said it was protesting police brutality that's inaccurate. the announced purpose for this event was to ask the mayor whose own husband was murdered in her driveway in that same house years ago in front of her around her kids, okay. that's how undangerous these things are. the alleged purpose of this event was to ask her to resign for protesters, but guess what, have i been docked? have those have been people walking down my street screaming death threats and threatening to burn my house and kill my dogs and what rooms in my house they were going to live in after they killed me, do you think them distributing my information all over the western hemisphere is different than what they're asking the mayor to resign for doing? this hypocrisy is obvious nonsense. >> look. again, mr. mccloskey, i don't

like that you have been weaponized for political means. i'm not saying that you weren't within your rights to do what you were doing. that will be judged by the system. that's not why i'm having you on the show as i said at the top. you said i didn't want to come on the show. listen, i think i'm fair. i'm not going to use you as a pawnagenda, the show you went on, somebody wants to ceasee it as american cause. the guy who walked past your house on a looping piece of video had hands up, don't shoot on this, the stated purpose of this demonstration and that's all we can go on is that they didn't like that the mayor outed or as you say docked people who were for de-funding the police. now you can like that or not like that. but you have been used and politically pep wonized as a face of white resistance to that movement. and that's why i asked you that, not because that's how you see yourself. but that's how you are being seen. i wanted to give you a chance

with counsel to respond to that. i don't see that as an unfair question. >> my client has since the very outset of this publicity made it really, really clear, the last thing he wanted to do. he and his wife are appalled at the prospect of being utilized as a rallying call for people sitting in barcoloungeers with a confederate flag in their hands. my clients have fought for lawyers as three-plus decades for the civil rights of people of color. my clients are completely behind and endorsed the message of blm. what they are not capable of doing is embracing the abject utilization of that noble message that we all need to hear over and over and over again as a license to rape, rob, pillage,

think you'd feel like you had a right to defend yourself, as well. >> absolutely, somebody takes out magazines and clicks it and makes a direct threat, i would feel threatened 100%. >> that's what happened to me. >> look, i know you are going through a process with this. i welcome you having counsel, you were within your rights, it should be ajudged as such. i wanted to talk about the horrible picture of what's going on in america right now. to me it's not about what's right and wrong in a court of law, it's what we have right and wrong about how we treat each other. that's why the president tweeted this tweet, you know it, mr. mccloskey, you know it. he retweeted it. he liked the image of white resistance to this movement and i'm not saying that was fair to you. but we know that's why he did it. that's why he deleted it. i wanted you to speak for yourself. >> i'm glad you are a mind reader. because no one else thinks you are. there oh, in fact, he didn't delete it. good, makes my point. >> no. >> you didn't say that it was
