market news and strategy for portfolio check out markets now streaming only on cnn business. top of the hour. welcome viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm john king in washington. thank you for sharing your day with us. familiar pattern today. dire warnings another daily case count record and the president telling you listen to him not the scientific experts. look at numbers. they are troubling, period. another 60,000-plus new confirmed coronavirus cases now running the american total to 3 million 431,000 infections and counting. the death numbers president says is low is again starting to rise. florida reporting single rate high for deaths yesterday as did alabama, utah and oregon. 14 reporting risen hospitalizations, sadly sends up the death count even more. reminder today. the virus does not care who you are. oklahoma's republican governor

announcing last hour he tested positive for covid-19 and quarantined at home. nation's top infectious disease expert dr. fauci says the current pandemic may match the horror of 1918's flu epidemic. another administration official says fauci is almost always wrong and do not listen to his advice. the president, too, telling you disregard the summer case count and hesitation about reopening schools. the president insisting if you cut testing the pandemic will disappear. think about that. it is nonsensical. listen to the experts, we are closer to the beginning than to the end. >> we still are early in this pandemic. we have a long way to go. if we distract ourselves with stories like northern vacationers are going to arizona in june, and setting off large outbreaks, we're not going to get through this very well. we've got to get to the facts, do good analysis and act on that. i'm frustrated by the distraction. >> when you look state-by-state

and group it into a national map the summer surge numbers and image projecting are troubling. look at the latest. first the trend map. you don't want to be orange and red. or map is full of orange and red. five states reporting 50% rate of cases this week compared to last week. up 50%. 33 states up. 38 of the 50 states reporting more coronavirus cases this week than last week. nine states, yellow beige color, nine states holding steady. a victory, if you look at the map. today's circumstances only three states heading down in their coronavirus case count. this is a summer surge across america, and it is everywhere. top five states when it comes to positivity, president says getting tests, more cases because of more testing's true, more testing. the goal, to prove you are flattening the curve, stopping the community spread. if you have 19% positivity you are not stopping the spread. 18% positivity in south

carolina. 17% alabama. 17% in texas. 25% just shy of that in arizona meaning you have a community spread problem. it is not one cluster here or one cla clumter -- cluster ther. hospitalizations going up. 351 in april, dangerously close to passing that setting a new record in the current summer surge. 14 states just yesterday saying set a new record for number of residents hospitalized for coronavirus cases. again, how are we doing compared to the world? look at the european union. united states, and european union. united states green, up the hill about the same time. european union a little ahead. both started to come down. changes through may, june and into july. where you want to be. low case count a flat line. this is the united states. going up.

going up. so the coronavirus task force at the white house meets next hour behind closed doors. right there. that's part of the concern. right? and a big fight among administration officials over who and what to believe. get straight to cnn kaitlan collins. the president stopped going to the meetings and stopped talking to experts. what do we look for out of this meeting today? >> reporter: yeah. the president hasn't attended a task force meeting since the month of april. it's not clear if he plans to do so anytime soon. even if the president is not there, we are seeing feuds break out between the president's top adviser especially with this remarkable instance that happened last night where peter navarro, the president's top trade adviser published an op-ed in "usa today" that said he does not trust what dr. anthony fauci says. he said, "anthony fauci has been wrong everything i've interacted with him on. ask me whether i listen to his advice, with skepticism and

caution." remarkable instance not only because we already know navarro does not like dr. fauci. they've butted heads the last several months's to publish that in "usa today" in an op-ed, remarkable. another instance this morning the white house said they did not clear that op-ed. that peter navarro did not go through the normal channels where typically they go through the press shop, edited approved before published online. of course, the sentiment is still there that navarro is putting this out saying he doesn't trust dr. fauci after that same press shop spent the weekend anonymously criticizing dr. fauci and so the question is, where does the president stand on all of this? and, john, just asked that in the oval office and the reporter -- going to read you exactly what the reporter said to the president and what re replied. said, are you okay with the op-ed peter navarro wrote on dr. fauci? president responded i get along very well with dr. fauci. asked again. are you okay with the op-ed peter navarro wrote?

trump said, that's peter navorro. i have a very good relationship with dr. fauci. he's not condemning the op-ed written by navorro. the white house insists no issue going on with dr. fauci and president trump although we know behind the scenes the president has been critical of him and not wanted to see him on television as often in the previous days and has complained about the fact dr. anthony fauci has gotten high approval ratings. >> kaitlan collins. non-responsive, the legal term there. insights, important, from an infectious decease expert from the harvard school of public health. doctor, good to see you again. i wish we could have a more optimistic conversation. look at trend lines. 60,000-plus new cases a day, pretty much retain in recent days. 14 states reporting record hospitalizations. the death count in many states starting to go back up. where are we?

>> well, a bit like a deja vu unfortunately, in many ways we're back we were were months ago. tests, seeing tests are delayed. cases going up, and now we're unfortunately seeing the ramifications of those increased cases, which is increased deaths. so we're not in a good spot nationally at the moment, and i think we're really, i thought we were in crisis mode back in april and i think we're even in greater crisis mode at the moment. >> greater crisis mode is not something anybody wants to hear but the facts certainly support you when you look at 38 states reporting more cases this week than last week. so the question is when in a crisis, how long is the tunnel? how deep is the ditch? pick your metaphor. listen to dr. redfield here who at least is being candid. a lot of mixed messages even from dr. redfield sometimes, but can my kids go back to school? what's the economic situation

like? listen to dr. redfield describe the length of the tunnel we're in. >> i do think that fall and the winter of 2020 and 2021 are going to be probably one of the most difficult times we've experienced in american public health. we're going to have to go through two or three years of wrestling with this virus. >> what does that -- what does it tell you and do you agree? a., toughest winter, tough public health winter in some time and b., two or three years wrestling this with? >> certainly by all accounts we are hoping to have this virus in our country really under control before the fall hit, and before the winter hit, because we know that these are likely times when transmission will be greatest. we may have seen, you know, very little of what's to come, if we -- once the fall hits and we really get into a coronavirus season, if you will. we might see cases start soaring

if we don't get it under control beforehand. so i think it is going to be a very, very difficult winter. there was a lot of excitement potentially of reopening, getting things back in order for schools to open up. companies to get back into the swing of things, and i think we may find ourselves in a very difficult position this winter, and cases, if they continue to get out of control, there's very little -- we haven't shown a good ability to get it under control nap doesn't bode well for 2021 as well. >> so i, a little more of dr. redfield here. mentioned we're in a crisis point and grateful for your time over the past several months. we talked in march and into april when we were going up. thought maybe had we finally reached top of the hill? started to come down, now going up again and dr. redfield says the key to fixing the current crisis of the moment is this -- >> space coverings, use simple face coverings really do work in interrupting this transmission, and if we all wore face covering

for the next four, six, eight, twelve weeks possibility this transmission of the virus would stop. >> one, do you agree? if we all wear face coverings in four, six, eight, ten, twelve weeks we'll be in a different position? question two, if so effective would we be where we were now if, dr. redfield, the president of the united states and other people on team trump had said that, wear a mask, dammit. four, six, eight, ten, twelve weeks ago? >> yes. certainly masks are extremely effective. if everyone could wake a ma-- wr a mask, i completely agree. no harm in awaring a mask and it can be very effective. i think there's a lot of frustration early on, myself and others, with the initial reports that were -- initial suggestion was not to wear a mask and generally that was to preserve the masks available early on for

health care workers. it also led to a lot of confusion. i think the message needs to be made clear at the moment and it's getting there, which is, masks work. they will stop transmission if everyone starts wearing them. we will start to see cases decline. >> one of the -- hard to put a silver lining on it. one of the time at this time of crisis, 60,000-plus cases, 1 silver lining, if you want to call it that, a lot of new cases are among younger people who tend to recover. maybe have two horrible weeks but tend to recover. listen here this health expert in florida saying, well, yeah. it's not as bad today and tomorrow if it's young people not vulnerable people who are infected, but -- >> we are a very diverse community with a lot of multigenerational families. whether that young person that gets it, if they don't have

anybody at home, that's fine. but their friend may have someone at home and they will infect their mother and grandmother and be that's what we're seeing today. >> that is what we're seeing today. despite pretty consistent message from people like yourself in recent months everybody has to think about this not just in terms of themselves. but that you come in contact with other people. especially as we've learned more about the asymptomatic. correct? >> exactly right. so there has been -- sort of that was made -- the point was made that, okay, a lot of younger people are getting ill, but what we have learned, if we've learned anything about epidemics, we don't know how to keep more vulnerable populations safe from it. so if people are getting sick, younger people, they will transmit it to older people, and so it might take a little more time before we see the signature of the population level in terms of increased hospitalizations and deaths, but it's exactly what's happening now. there is a little more of a lag,

maybe if the transmission events had to occur. unfortunately we see young people transmit to older people, which results in hospitalization and death. there's no way to really get around that. >> no way, sadly, to get around that. doctor, as always, grateful for insights, xpeeexpertise today. thank you. >> absolutely. two months after george floyd's death, the police body camera individual yes is released. jim, could you uh kick the tires? oh yes. can you change the color inside the car? oh sure. how about blue? that's more cyan but. jump in the back seat, jim. act like my kids. how much longer? -exactly how they sound. it's got massaging seats too, right? oh yeahhhhh. -oh yeahhhhh. visit the mercedes-benz summer event or shop online at participating dealers. get 0% apr financing up to 36 months on select new and certified pre-owned models.

>> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. breaking news is important breaking news now getting first look at the new police bodycam footage of moments leading up to george floyd's death. critical moments, more context how he died in minneapolis. final words "i can't breathe." live in minneapolis and just viewed that footage. omar, what did you see? >> reporter: starters, john, the

court isallowing, the court presiding over this allowed media to view the footage but not released publicly. we already have the audio of the footage, for example, and the video offers basically con atex not included, emotion of it and speed with which it happens. remember, these officers responded to a call of a fake bill used. within 36 seconds, last words with the store owner, now had a gun pointed in george floyd's face saying, let me see your f-ing hands, after initially knocking on the window with a flashlight, and then throughout that interaction, george floyd is sobbing throughout as he is pleading with officers, asking what he did. eventually calming down to the point, he seems to comply and struggle ensues and then it's minutes after that another

struggle trying to get him in to a police car. this is part of why viewing the video as opposed to just the transcript is so important. the last word listed in at least the transcript for former officer thomas lane lists the words as "please." then, as you watch the actual video you actually see later there's another, "please" and then, "man, i can't breathe." those were the final moments, the last i personally heard george floyd's voice on former officer thomas lane's body camera and, of course, we saw former officer derek chauvin's knee on the neck of floyd. one detail we didn't see from the cell phone video released and didn't get from the transcript, there seems to be a moment already restrained, chauvin appears to increase pressure on the neck going from torso straight up to knee on his neck into a more curled down motion there, john. >> so let's take a few moments and go through this. not to be gratuitous, because a

man is dead obviously but this is incredibly important evidence that set up a national conversation. you mentioned you could hear -- obviously, saw the cell phone video earlier. to see on i assume a closer-up image, george floyd saying, "man, i can't breathe." take us inside that moment. >> reporter: it was harrowing. to actually see -- remember, for a lot of this interaction, george floyd is either in a vehicle or pushed in to the vehicle. from the vantage point of the officer's body camera, that is essentially right in front of george floyd's face. you get almost every single emotion and detail he was feeling and the moments. critically i mentioned two different struggles that happened. first was the initial response. the car he was in with two other people and trying to get him out of that car. the more significant struggle or at least the bigger one at least from my eyes, came from when they tried to put floyd in the police vehicle. this was mainly done by officer

kueng and lane. eventually lane goes to the other side opens the other door, tries to pull him in as kueng is pushing him in. you first time you hear the words "i can't breathe" under gargled breath like there was saliva or something. then goes down to the ground in the familiar spot we see on the cell phone video. at that point other officers arrive but only chauvin, kueng and lane appear to restrain him. at one point, remember why this video was even filed in the first place. this came from a motion to dismiss the case filed by the attorney for former officer thomas lane, and part of what he pointed to in the motion, which we saw on camera, that lane asked if floyd should be moved to his side to which chauvin responded, no. he's staying put where we've got him, to which lane says, i'm just worried about excited

delirium and it is in those moments right after that that floyd is still pleading, "please, please, please" right before that it is listed in the transcript this part. the pleases seem to get weaker with each please and eventually this isn't listed in the transcript as i listed before, "man i can't breathe" throughout this time the officers were speaking pretty matter of factly while there is someone, if you remember, watching the cell phone video screaming at them saying, hey, get off his neck, get off his neck and both the witness and lane seemed to acknowledge he is passing out. i note as well the attorney for derek chauvin has responded to our request for comment and officially has no comment. >> listening to you is harrowing. i can't imagine actually watching this video. you may very important points about context early on how to read the transcripts but see the video and it's just a different perspective. just i want to follow-up on that point. people watching around the country and the world so they can get your perspective. been on top of this from the

very beginning. what is different? righttracked this, broken news about it from the very beginning. what do you know now, see now, that you didn't know before you watched this video? >> reporter: what i know now that is different than before when i watched this video is, one, how much time actually, you know, floyd was under the knee of derek chauvin's we see it from the cell phone video and have the under eight minutes or so visually. seeing it from up close from the vantage point of lane, seeing the struggle of trying to get him in the police car. at one point he was actually in the squad car, but then falls out on the other side and to see the chaos how quickly things unfolded. remember, this all happened from being in the store to being on the ground with a knee on his neck in the time span of about 11 minutes or so. then you talk about the amount of time it took for the ambulance or paramedics to

arrive after george floyd had already been on the ground, it's a little over nine minutes or so. after he had already been cuffed for eight minutes. that's another note i think people miss in this. he was cuffed very early on, three minutes into this video over the course of over an hour video i was able to see between the body cameras of former officer thomas lane and former officer alex kueng. >> important. omar jimenez, important to you have on the scene. up next, back to the coronavirus crisis and perhaps encouraging results from a u.s. government funded vaccine trial. . now that sprint is a part of t-mobile we have more towers, more engineers, and more coverage than ever before. this is not just a bigger network it's a better one. and now you can get an awesome network

the biotech firm moderna, the vaccine induced imprune mun response in all ho received it. small side geceffects but overa none. if regulators approve it the company could deliver up to 500 million dose as year maybe up to a billion doses per year beginning in 2021 the company says. always important to be cautious about a company's optimism about its own product.

here to help us with context a pediatrics professor specializes in diseases and director at the children's hospital. doctor, good to see you again. we've talked about this before, but in this particular case, it was peer review and in the "new england journal of medicine." what's your take where moderna is and where we are in terms of the vaccine race? >> it's a small but important first step. i mean, you have basically 45 people who were tested. divided into three groups. one of the groups received the dose that will be the final dose and therefore tested in 15 people. have been shown to have, you know, a kind of immune response, neutralizing antibody response at least compares favorably to the kind of neutralizing antibodies you see after people are naturally infected. that's all good, but, again, it's 15 people who got the dose that will be the final dose. take a step back and tell you what worries me most about this.

this is a bad coronavirus that just made its debut in the human population and already has caused a series of clinical syndromes one would have never imagined. this was a winter respiratory virus raging in summer months, raging in hot and humid climates. causing an unusual multiorgan multisystem disease in children. it can affect our ability to smell or affect our ability to taste or smell. others don't do this and affects the lining of our blood vessels. the cells which causing a hyperclotting syndrome that leads to things like covid toes, which looks like frost bite. that's only a few of the things we've been surprised about. to try and control this virus and the only way to control this virus in the end is with a vaccine. using a number of vaccines like the message of moderna or pfizer or with j & j and astrazeneca,

human adnoviruses. we have no experience with these vaccines in the population. so here we've tested this vaccine in essentially 15 people that will get this dose and caulk talking about 500 million doses? i mean, can't we assume that over the next year or two we are going to learn things about this vaccine and virus that we don't know now that we wish we knew now. i wish we were a little more cautious in our language. >> that's why, it's important, because advice and expertise you've given me over the last several months is be very careful when a company starts brags about a company. its own product. be careful there. you mention add year or two. a novel virus. you have experience working for decades trying to develop a vaccine. listen here to dr. fauci who, remember, dr. fauci was saying he hoped by end of this year, by christmas, early next year, we would have a workable vaccine. listen to this. >> what we hope is that with the combination of people having already been exposed and a vaccine that's anywhere from

70%, 75% effective, that there will be enough herd immunity, and i hope that that time will be reasonably soon. when i say soon, i say within the next year to year and a half. >> walk us through this. the combination of quote/unquote herd immunity and a vaccine that is at least moderately to hopefully better than that effective. where are we? >> so i think dr. fauci is likely to be right. meaning i think we can get a vaccine that is 70% to 75% effective at preventing moderate to severe disease and at least in the short term, meaning a year or two or three. if that were true, had a vaccine 75% effective, there's actually a formula for this. meaning, how much of the population do you need to immunize to stop spread? that depends on, one, contagiousness of the virus and two, effectivenesses of the vaccine. a vaccine 75% effective you need to vaccinate two-thirds of the

population to stop spread. a population of more than 300 million people. you need vaccination of 200 million plus in our country way two-dose vaccine. with that we could stop spread. >> could stop spread, but -- he says a year, a year and a half? >> right. so i mean, it's obviously a distribution issue. a matter of getting that vaccine out and making sure that it's safe. also, remember, when we do a phase three trial, a 30,000-person trial, we'll be ale to say at least it doesn't have a side effect. we'll be able to say that it's effective to some teextent in t short term. we'll only learn that after the vaccines are approved. >> appreciate your context and expertise walking through this. everybody wants a great answer. we have to wait a little for. context is important, sir. thank you very much. a short time ago the president walk ag fine line. public spat between his top infectious disease expert and

his top adviser. published in the "usa today" today, you at home should not believe dr. fauci. never mind. navarro has no personal medical experience. the president, well, he says this -- >> i get along very well with dr. fauci. i get along very well with dr. fauci. i have a very good relationship. that's peter navarro. >> read into that as you wish, i guess. still ahead for us, republican voters in alabama and texas give the president some love. meaning he voted for the candidates he backed.

there is evidence today he's at least carrying sway with the republican base. the republican gloating last night on twitter after tommy tuberville former auburn football coach defeated former attorney general jeff sessions in alabama. sessions lost his chance to win his old senate seat back. with us to share reporting and insights politico's reporter. drama of trump and sessions on the ballot together in alabama is gone. is there any other major takeaway here or just jeff sessions won't get his seat back and voters stuck with the president's choice in alabama? >> tuberville, trump's candidate who totally annihilated jeff sessions facing doug jones in the fall who one in a special

election. a very tight race that could ultimately determine who controlling the senate come next year. so right now polling is showing that that fall matchup will be very tight with tuberville a bit in the lead, but also doug jones just announced today with s.e.c. filings he has nearly 8.8 million dollars on hand. he has more cash heading into the general. >> fascinating. another victory for the president if you want to call it that, jackson, won house primary in texas. republican seat. more than likely that ronny jackson will be a congressman from texas come january, however, we know the coronavirus will be a huge issue in this campaign. we know that texas is going through one of the states, a summer surge, at least alarming. see how they deal with it. ronny jackson, a lot of people playing a doctor on tv, ronny jackson is a doctor. listen to him on the question of masks on fox news.

>> i think wearing a mask is a personal choice and i don't particularly want my government telling me i have to wear a mask. that's a choice i can make and encourage people that want to wear a mask to wear a mask, i don't wear a mask all that often, to be honest with you. >> we can have the government rights mandate versus recommendation, but it's the last part. that's a medical professional. i don't wear a mask that often, to be honest with you. mind-blowing. >> it is stunning during that -- every public health official or most infectious disease experts are saying that the public should be wearing masks. when they are not able to social distance more than six feet. and texas itself, the governor even reversed his policy from earlier this summer and recommended, or actually mandated in certain elements whether in terms of businesses that masks need to be worn. so this is definitely --

coronavirus, as you said, john, is something we're going to be seeing really be a big part of these congressional races from the house all the way up to the presidential race, and in the other house primaries last night you know, democrats got a lot of the candidates that they wanted, and so texas is very much looking as though democrats could win more house seats there than they even, than they did in 2018 and joe biden is increasingly looking a the that state as potentially a swing state. >> approaching the 100 day mark. interesting. politics amid a pandemic. a fascinating year. laura lopez from politico. thanks so much. coming up international perspective including this -- canada set to respond to the growing case count here in the united states by keeping the northern border closed even longer. welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about
