sa baena was known as genuine and kind. she helped lead an organization for people with developmental and special needs. may they rest in peace and may their memories be a blessing. "erin burnett outfront" starts right now. outfront next, dr. anthony fauci warning the u.s. needing to hit the reset button as cases surge as the top infectious disease expert fights against the white house. plus a doctor spends more than a month in a hospital unconscious on a ventilator. tonight he's our guest. and new body cam from george floyd's arrest revealing a man who was ter identified and sobbing and asking what he did wrong. that video has not been released but our reporter saw it. good evening. i'm erin burnett. back to square one on a day with

the u.s. death toll topped 137,000 people, the nation's top infectious disease expert was asked what can be done to get the united states to somewhat of a better place. his answer. >> i believe we need to almost push the reset button. >> reset. definition, start all over. the situation in the united states is getting worse. 14 states now reporting record hospitalizations tonight and deaths have been following. death tolls are trending up in 23 states. according to "the new york times" tally today. we didn't learn from what happened in march and april. this is why we need to reset. otherwise known as start all over. july is looking a lot like march and april, surge in cases, long lines for tests, not enough ppe, and trump also doing what he did in march and april which is to minimize and not wear a mask. today in atlanta, if you only saw trump, you would think summer 2020 was like any other. he emerged wearing a mask even

though there's a law now requiring them given the surge in cases in atlanta. he broke about the law. he barely talked about the virus. he visited ups and talked transportation because he wants to promote the image of normalcy even though we all know at this point that's not going to happen any time soon. and the president's advisers are doing the dirty work of discrediting dr. anthony fauci. peter navarro writing he has been wrong about everything i've interacted with him on. my answer is only with skepticism and caution. now, obviously i don't need to say that navarro is not a doctor. he has no expertise when it comes to infectious diseases. he has zero standing to say what he said. and it was so out of line that trump himself was forced to disown it. >> he made a statement representing himself. he shouldn't be doing that. no, i have a very good relationship with anthony. >> okay. but that sort of disowning

doesn't add up because what peter navarro did of course was to push forward the same narrative of trump's advisers, pushing the name narrative as trump's social media adviser who retweeted a cartoon mocking fauci as a toilet. mo moore telling the daily beast that he's working on a memo about fauci detailing everything he's gotten incorrect called dr. wrong. it's the same narrative as president donald trump has pushed himself. >> dr. fauci's a nice man but he made a lot of mistakes. i disagree with him. >> nice guy but wrong. the message, don't trust him. when trump says navarro shouldn't have put an op-ed slamming fauci, trump is not being forthright. navarro was doing what everyone else was doing. fauci hitting back at the white house for repeatedly trying to

undermine him. >> it is a bit bizarre. i don't fully understand it. i cannot figure out in my wildest dreams why they would want to do that. but i think they realize now that that was not a prudent thing to do because it's only reflecting negatively on them. i can't explain peter navarro. he's in a world by himself so i don't even want to go there. >> 137,000 americans have died from coronavirus, cases are rising in 38 states and team trump has been trying to take down the doctor who has repeatedly told americans that this is serious, we must act because people will die. fauci is right. people have been dying. 137,000 of them. he is an expert on infectious disease. he has spent his lifetime on this. he isn't trying to protect his presidency. he's trying to protect living people and americans know it. 65% of voters trust the information they're hearing from dr. fauci. when it comes to the president, only 30% of voters trust what they're hearing from him. the numbers should be higher for

fauci. perhaps the only reason they aren't is because the president has tried to say the virus will go away and questioned fauci. maybe that 30-year-old man in texas who said he thought it was all a hoax and didn't realize how wrong he was until it was too late listened to the president or watched him to refuse to wear a mask. we'll never know those details because he died of coronavirus. kaitlan collins is live outfront live outside the white house tonight. kaitlan, the president is noticing those poll numbers. >> reporter: yeah, he's paid close attention to those numbers, erin, even previously remarked to aides that he thought dr. fauci was doing too much television, but nothing like what we've seen this week, these obvious blatant attacks on dr. fauci with the president's top advisers who he speaks with often, and the anonymous memo which came from the white house and they tried to distance themselves. and now tonight flying back from atlanta on air force one, the chief of staff mark meadows came

back and spoke with reporters saying that people did not endorse that op-ed by peter na ventilator r var row, they were not standing by it and they did not go against the well established protocols. now you're seeing dr. fauci push back in this unprecedented way where he's always spoken candidly. but today he was saying he doesn't go directly to the president with his information. instead he goes indirectly to, you know, the vice president for things he has to talk about. and they still have not spoken in over six weeks. so, while the president is insisting they have a good relationship, it's important to keep in mind that it's really unlikely white house officials rewould feel this comfortable blatantly criticizing dr. fauci if they had not heard the president also do so himself. >> kaitlan, thank you very much. it's a really great point. mark meadows, sure, i'm sure he means what he said. the reality is peter na ventilator row put that out there because it was consistent with what people were saying

fully sanctioned around the president. outfront now dr. sanjay gupta and dr. reiner, advised the white house under george w. bush, the medical team. sanjay, reset. how is that possible at this point with 137,000 people dead. >> well, the status quo is not working. what a reset means by dr. fauci is not necessarily saying we need to go into strict lockdown mode across the country again although there may be places around the country where that needs to happen. i think there was originally these criteria that were put out there in terms of when states could move through these different phases. in some ways i think it's going back and saying you've got to meet these gaiting criteria that were laid out. if you haven't gone down 14 days in a row, you can't move to the next phase. and by the way, if you go up five days in a row, you have to go back to the previous phase.

i think a reset means we need to hear from the medical team, the coronavirus task force, the scientists on the task force every day. there needs to be a tsunami of activity around testing. still don't have a national testing strategy. interviewed dr. redfield last week and he said maybe it's time we develop a national testing strategy, middle of july. so, i think a reset is to basically in some ways do the things that we were supposed to have done, that we agreed to do that the coronavirus task force laid out for us. i think that's basically what it is. >> and instead of all that happening, you have this fight going on, dr. reiner, where people around the president are slamming dr. fauci after the president did himself and now dr. fauci being forced to respond. the white house -- dr. fauci today called that white house effort to describe as bizarre. he went on to say this about his relationship with president trump. here he is. >> my input to the president is now a bit indirect. it goes through the vice president. but clearly the vice president literally every day is listening

to what we have to say. there's no doubt about that. >> so, so, look. pence runs the coronavirus task force or at least he did. that was -- he sits in those meetings, dr. reiner. but it is the president of the united states out there making decisions, not wearing a mask, saying this was going to go away. is there a problem that there is not direct contact between fauci and trump? >> you bet it is. so, this is july. this is the beginning of the academic year in medicine so we have new residents and fellows that come in. and one of the first things i tell a new fellow is that when i ask you a question, particularly during a procedure, i want you to tell me what you think, not what you think i want you to say. and you'd want the president to have advisers around him who are willing to tell him maybe things he doesn't want to hear. but by keeping tony fauci out of direct contact with the president, you're keeping the most influential, most knowledgeable leader of this coronavirus fight away from

telling the president directly what the president needs to hear. and frankly i don't have a lot of confidence that vice president pence is the person to tell the president what he doesn't want to hear. and, so that's exactly what we need now. we need frank discussions with the president over and over and over again. and pushing tony fauci out gets in the way of that. >> so, sanjay, you spoke to dr. fauci today and i know you do frequently which gives you a sense of what he's really thinking. he did clarify something important that he said yesterday. and let me just play that for you. here's what he said. >> if you look at the magnitude of the 1918 pandemic where anywhere from 50 to 75 to 100 million people globally died, i mean, that was the mother of all pandemics and truly historic. i hope we don't even approach that with this, but it does have the makings of the possibility of being, you know, approaching that in seriousness.

>> obviously the math on that, you know, a death would be 220 million or more deaths on this planet. what did he mean when he said that, though? >> i think what he was really trying to refer to was that we do have a new virus that is circumnavigating the globe. it is very contagious. it is more lethal than the seasonal flu. and in that regard, it is system to the 1918 flu pandemic. i think what he told me today and what he wanted to clarify frankly was that i don't think he wanted to imply that it was going to lead to a proportionate number of deaths one hundred years later as to what the population of the world was one hundred years ago. and keep in mind that we are a different world. we do have critical care. we do have ventilators to the extent that we are helpful. we are racing toward a vaccine, hopefully, and there are various therapeutics. so, i think we -- you know, take some solace in that.

this is a terrible situation we're in. i don't want to sugar coat it. i know he doesn't either. we don't want to overstate it either in terms of this is going to be the huge thick that causes hundreds of millions of deaths. >> dr. ronny jackson won the gop run off for a texas congressional seat. he gave trump a physical a couple of years ago, proclaimed trump has incredible genes. here's jackson, the doctor taking care of the president giving these physicals. here's what he said about wearing a mask. >> i think wearing a mask is a personal choice and i don't particularly want my government telling me that i have to wear a mask. i encourage people that want to wear a mask to wear a mask, but i don't wear a mask all that often to be honest with you. >> he's a doctor. he was responsible for the health of the president. what do you say to that, that he doesn't wear masks all that

often to be honest? >> how disgraceful? he's running for the 13th congressional seat in texas. texas is a state that had twice the number of coronavirus cases today as the entire european to people they have to wear a mask. he has a habit of trying to gain personal gain. he told the president his genes were so great he could live to be 120 years old. he called the man that promoted him to flank rate a deep state traitor. now he perpetuates a myth that will lead to death. by telling people they don't have to wear a mask is telling them it's not so bad. you don't need to protect your neighbor. and this is in a state where the virus has run away. a disgraceful performance from a former physician.

>> thank you both very much. next the white house making a major move to sideline the cdc when it comes to data. what do we know about the virus? why are they doing that? one california county voting to open schools full-time, no masks, no social distancing required. one superintendent in that county says no. he's outfront. and oklahoma's governor who happened to be at the trump rally weeks ago becoming the first governor to contract the virus. how did he get it? ta-da!

tonight side loolining the during the pandemic. this is raising alarm bells about a lack of transparency because the cdc data was open to the public so the data that now goes to the hhs will not be open to the ub pick will according to "the new york times" report. outfront now dr. richard besser under president obama. dr. besser, when you hear about it this way, the cdc was slow in some ways, but their data was all out there. you could see all of it. now we're apparently not going to see it. you say this is a step backwards. now consequential is the move? >> well, i see it, erin, as another sign of cdc being sidelined. cdc is the nation's public health agency. there are thousand of scientists there, epidemiologists who understand data and what it can teach you. the idea that data would not go

to the cdc but would go directly to washington to the department of health and human services, it doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about how response should be taking place. >> dr. fauci today made headlines in terms of his role in this. he said he wasn't involved in the decision. here's the exchange. >> if you have what is arguably the world's greatest public health agency at your disposal, why sideline them? >> i don't know, ed. i had not been involved in that. i would like to give you a rr reasonable explanation. but i've just been removed from that aspect of the outbreak. >> so, he's been sidelined from even being involved in that decision even though he's the top infectious disease expert in the country. what does that say? >> well, you know, typically in a response, what you would be seeing, you would see cdc outfroou out front leading and you would see dr. fauci standing next to

the person from the cdc who's leading the response. dr. fauci is one of the world's leading experts in infectious disease, in vaccines, in viruses, and cdc, as an agency, is the world's expert in how do you respond to a public health crisis, to a pandemic, to an emergency? and they work hand in hand. so, not having dr. fauci as part of that decision, i can understand it. not having cdc driving the decision and how do you manage this data the best, that i see as problematic. >> the health and human services michael caputo defended the mood. he said today the cdc has at least a weak lag in reporting hospital data. america requires it in real time. the new faster and complete data system is what our nation needs to defeat the coronavirus. is it possible that any of that actually adds up, that there's going to be a new faster data system that's totally separate from the one that exists that is somehow real time and then gets through the hurdle which i just

said, is it possible that what he says all adds up. >> well, you know, i think we need to do more to strengthen the data systems at cdc and state and local public health departments. it represents decades of underinvestment. but this is not going to be solved by doing this. it's going to be solved by the nation coming together and following the blueprint, the road map that public health is leading out. as long as we see political leaders undercutting what public health says needs to take place to get this under control, we're not going to get there and we're going to see hospitals that are going to continue to be overwhelmed by covid patients, icus that are full, patients with other medical problems that can't be treated. this is a real crisis in america right now and it needs to be led by public health. >> thank you so much. i appreciate your time. next, walmart, the world's largest retailer announcing it will require all customers wear

. breaking news, across the country a grim picture tonight with texas reporting a record number of deaths for a second straight day and 14 states including florida report record high hospital dagss. erica hill is outfront. >> reporter: confirmed cases in florida have now topped 300,000. in miami-dade county, the number of covid-19 patients in one hospital system has jumped 226% in the last month. >> we're preparing for even more patients over the next several weeks. >> reporter: florida is one of 14 states reporting record hospitalizations. 11 of those states are seeing a rise in new cases over the past week. >> these alarming trends reflect behaviors from three weeks ago and it will take several weeks to see if our behavior now, including the roll back of previously opened sectors, slows

the spread of the virus. >> reporter: texas reporting a record number of deaths and new cases on wednesday. >> hundreds and thousands of people are dying in america today because we are distracted by issues that are not the central ones to controlling this virus. we've got to get our act together. >> reporter: at least 36 states now require a face covering in public. the latest to add a mandate, alabama. nationwide, customers at walmart and kohls can't shop without one starting monday. bars and restaurants can refuse service to anyone without a face covering. >> you've got to take this seriously. it matters to our citizens and economy going forward. >> increasing concern about summer travel fuelling the spread and it's not just the northeast requiring visitors to quarantine. chicago has a 14 day quarantine in place for travellers from 17 states. canada will keep the border closed through late august.

a new school year is just weeks away. one district in arizona using these misters to disinfect classrooms. philadelphia will use a hybrid model this fall. san francisco will begin the year online. houston schools will too. >> i've had many sleepless nights even up until this morning wrestling with this decision. given the threat of covid-19, we will not put the health and safety of our students and satisfy at risk. >> reporter: local decisions gaining national attention as uncertainty grows about just what lies ahead. now, there could be further guidance for school reopening coming as soon as friday. a senior official at the cdc telling cnn that that new guidance could be out friday. in terms of the cdc guidance, it will have the most up to date science for safely reopening. there could also be a second set of guidelines from a white house work group that was requested by

dr. birx. that includes officials from hhs, the domestic policy down crimin council and also the department of enl cation. that will be geared towards parents. thank you very much, erica. back to school. is it worth the risks, right? every parent is asking. this the board of education in orange county responsible for half a million students. voting to reopen schools and advising against face masks and social distancing. outfront now, superintendent for the santa ana unified school district which is the second largest district in the county. i appreciate your time. i know that you chose to go against the guidelines that the board voted on and that you're going to continue with online learning. how come you made that choice? >> well, i think we made that choice because we have to take into consideration the covid rates within our city and our district, and we have to make the best decision that's in the

best interest and the safety of our staff in our community. >> i want to just read something from the guidelines here to you. they say on social distancing specifically, k-12 children represent the lowest risk cohort for covid-19. because of that fact, social distancing of children and reduced census classrooms is not necessary and therefore not recommended. so, that's social distancing. and then on mass superintendent saying quote, requiring children to wear masks during school is not only difficult. it is not impossible to implement, but not based on science. it may even be harmful and is therefore not recommended. okay. the science part is factually incorrect. what about the point that kids won't actually do it and that the kids are low risk and it's better to have them all in class? do they have a point? >> you know, i think the kids may be at low risk based on the information that we have right now. however, there is a high risk of them potentially carrying this virus back to their families and

i think that's a big concern. there's also risk in them possibly infecting our staff as well. and if our staff and our parents are infected, then it really becomes extremely difficult to educate the kid when is families have other things that they have to worry about. >> so, these recommendations came on the same day that los angeles and san diego which are the two biggest districts in your state said they're going to do online learning as you've also chosen to do. my question is why is orange county which neighbors both of those counties l.a. and san diego such an outlier, not only saying do it in person but do it in person with optional masks and no social distancing. >> i have a hard time trying to comprehend that as well. all i can say is i think it's just reflective of the national conn conversation that's happening across the country. unfortunately it's pitting family members against family members or cities against cities. the last thing we need to worry about, we're focus td on getting

kids healthy and back into the classroom and educating students like we need to as soon as possible. >> so, the board also called distance learning an utter failure and they said the move produced irregular attendance by children and teachers through no lack of effort were unable to manage distracted children in multiple locations. look, i have kids in school. distance learning was really hard, especially for young kids. i don't think anybody would pick it if they didn't think it was really the only option they had. do they have a point there about distance learning failing, or do you think that's too strong? >> i think it's too strong. i don't think it's failing. i think there are a lot of good opportunities out there, a lot of good instruction going on with staff, teachers of distance learning. i have a 9-year-old grandson and he participated as well. i think, you know, it brings its challenges because everything happens so quickly. we learned a lot since march and since we went off.

and we have a lot of staff members that i'm completely confident that are going to engage the students in very meaningful ways this coming fall. >> all right. superintendent, i appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you. and next, oklahoma's governor who has shunned medical advice on coronavirus, pushed to reopen, not wear a mask, has now tested positive for coronavirus. he is the first governor in the country to test positive. and a doctor contracts covid at a meeting about fighting the virus. this doctor knew all about it. he then spent more than a month of his life in the hospital. he nearly died. and tonight he has a message about the rest of his life, what it's going to look like for those not taking this seriously.

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. tonight a blessing the and a curse, that's how my next guest describes his experience as a doctor in an icu battling

coronavirus because he understood what was happening to him, but then he also knew how very wrong things could go. he ended up spending more than a month in the hospital. he nearly died. he is home looking at a long road to recovery. he is outfront now. i really appreciate your time, doctor. you know, you actually sort of hard to believe how this happened, but you were at a meeting on preventing the spread of ocoronavirus in the hospital. it was at that hospital where you work and where you think you got the virus. two days after your test came back positive, you got quite sick. you checked into a local hospital. you knew. you knew that was the right thing to do. so, then tell me what happened. >> yes, ma'am. after i went home for a few days, after i took my confirmed test, i did begin to get a little bit worse, occasional shortness of breath. i knew that would indicate i had issues with my lungs, so i chose to go to the hospital. i presented to the local

hospital and they took great care of me on stabilizing. i did well. then i was transferred to the medical system with a dedicated unit for covid patients. so, i was transferred there and that's where the journey began really. >> so, at that point, you knew the shortness of breath was not a good thing. you went in. but then when that happened you knew things had taken a turn for the worse. you knew you were going to be sedated and put on a ventilator. you know what that means. how traumatic. how disruptive. what was it like when you realized that was going to happen to you? >> well, certainly it was a daunting time and it was a scary time. thankfully my faith allowed me to be strong during that time. but when you're messages with your wife about the fact you're going to be put on a ventilator and knowing the complications that can occur there, knowing the current rate of recovery for covid patients that were ventilated at the time, it was quite a scary time and it was a time that we knew that if we did come off the ventilator, could

there be a long road of recovery from that. so, it was quite scary. >> you're young. you're 42, i believe. >> yes, ma'am. >> you're really young. you're not someone you would have thought when you get this, you would have been in the it's not going to be a big deal. i talked to a lot of people in that category who got it and got really sick. thermos after having it, almost five months after having it, still experiencing symptoms, some neurological, some terrifying in terms of memory and process information and be the same people they were before. i know you've said your recovery from this may be life long. this is you on the other side of the screen leaving the hospital in a wheelchair more than two months ago. what are the challenges you're still facing, doctor? >> so, i've been blessed. i've recovered at this point, although we don't know what the long-term effects may be. i've noticed some of the blood

clotting issues, dealing with the infection, ain't coagulants to thin my blood, i'll continue to have follow up testing for lungs for at least several years if not hay lifetime. i'm blessed in that i've not had a lot of issues that others have had or suffered from. i feel like i've got a great shot at full recovery but we don't know what the future holds. >> no, we don't. your attitude on this is quite inspirational. but the truth is if you have something now that's life long possibly with the asthma and that's a change in your life that could be significant. and as you point out you're not even in the category of people who -- some of them are saying they struggle to do their job. months later they still can't go back to work. you're back to work. you got the virus in march and here we are in july. as i pointed out you have the testing lines and all the same problems again. people are having covid parties

still. some people are still simply not taking this seriously. what is your message to them after the experience you went through as a 42-year-old doctor? >> well, again, i think that really is what i would like to say. i was not in a category you would consider high risk at the time this occurred. i was at high risk to contract the disease but when i did contract the disease, i wasn't thought to be in a category that would have poor outcomes. but i spent six week of my life in medical care and had to go through a week of rehabilitation to return to my family. this virus is indeed real. it can strike populations. and we're seeing a large percentage of our patients in the 30 to 50-year-old age range maybe because of the fact they're exposed and out in social situations so much. but again, you know, this can happen to anyone, it happened to me. it's a very real virus. my family and i dealt with side effects and continue to do so going forward. so, i'll just urge everyone to take it as serious as they can,

wear a mask, and social distance as much as possible. >> i sure hope they heed that when they see you, six weeks in the hospital, a week of rehab and you are now back. dr. lewis, thank you. >> thank you very much, ma'am. have a great night. >> you too. next oklahoma's governor repeatedly ignored health officials. he didn't wear masks ever and now tested positive for coronavirus. plus new details about the moments before george floyd's arrest. it's all in a new video that our omar jiminez privately viewed and he has the story ahead. between ideas and inspiration, trauma and treatment. gained a couple of more pounds. that's good for the babies. between the moments that make us who we are, and keeping them safe, private and secure, there's webex. ♪ ♪ beautiful.

tonight, oklahoma governor kevin stigt became the first governor to announce he has contracted coronavirus. >> i got tested yesterday for covid-19 and the results came back positive. i want to use my story to remind oklahomans that if you aren't feeling well, we want you to get tested. >> his announcement coming on

the same day oklahoma records its highest daily case count ever. outfront now, a appreciate your time. i know you were on the zoom call with the governor when he made that announcement. what more do you know about how he may have gotten the virus? >> yeah, the governor and state health professionals don't really know how or when he got the virus. they assume it's sometime in the past few days. what they did say and what a lot of reporters asked was is it possible that governor stitt picked this virus up at president trump's campaign rally in tulsa which was on june 20th, and they adamantly said no, that was too far ago, that there was no way he could have picked it up there. >> so, they're saying it wasn't that although they obviously don't know what it was. but in recent weeks, the governor started to say publicly that people should wear masks as the number rose. but he himself obviously rarely

seen wearing one publicly as we're showing in all the pictures on the screen. you're familiar with this. you cover him every day. what have you seen? >> yeah, i would think for the first few months of the coronavirus pandemic, i mean, the governor was rarely ever seen wearing a mask. and he gives these periodic press conferences to update the state on covid-19 and where the state is at, and he would never wear one for those press conferences. up until a couple of weeks ago, he was given a lot a pressure to be more encouraging about masks, so he did wear one to a press conference. he did not wear one to president trump's rally, and he was -- he's been seen a couple of times since not wearing a mask as well. >> obviously perhaps he really has learned something from this and we hope he doesn't get seriously sick. in mid-march as this whole country was learning how serious this virus was, the governor tweeted and later deleted a picture of himself and children

in a crowded restaurant. we have this for a segment. i remember this picture. and his comment was it's packed tonight, #supportlocal. the sort of thing was stopped with the shutdown, right, go back with your life and support the economy. overall from your reporting, how are oklahomans >> yeah, i mean, oklahoma is a very conservative state. we like our republican governors generally, but as you've seen in a lot of states, i think there is mixed feelings on both sides because you have the group of oklahoma people that are adamant they don't want to wear a mask, they don't want to be forced into wearing a mask and so the governor really gets that bart of oklahoma but then you have the group that has seen the numbers of cases rise. they are seeing hospitalizations rise and they are calling on the governor to do more and more and he's not responding in the way they would like. >> all right. carmen, appreciate your time. thank you very much and

obviously, we'll see you, the governor what actually happens. one thing i wanted to ask because he did originally push for a quick reopening. where is that right now in oklahoma? you just mentioned the cases, a record number of cases today. >> yeah, so we were one of the first states to completely reopen, which i think played into why president trump had his rally here. we started reopening on may 1, so they say we're in phase three of reopening but really, it's just back to business as usual or what the governor calls our new normal. >> all right. i appreciate your time. thank you so much. >> no problem. next, police body camera video of george floyd's arrest not yet public but our omar jimenz viewed it. what it shows, next. jim, could you uh kick the tires? oh yes.

tonight, we are learning much more about how fearful and how distraught george floyd was before he was killed. there is new body cam footage that reveals how desperate the situation is for him. this comes as floyd's family files a civil lawsuit against minneapolis and the officers involved. omar jimenez is "outfront". >> new body camera video shown to cnn but not shared with the general public is providing critical context into the moments leading up to george floyd's death. the call for officers began over a fake bill being used at a store in minneapolis. less than 40 seconds after finishing conversation with the store employee, the officers are at the door of this car floyd was in, officer thomas lane with his gun drawn yelling to put your f-ing hands up following an initial knock on a window with a flashlight. >> this is a crisis in black america, a public health crisis. >> reporter: after repeated asks to get out of the car, floyd is

seen on lane's body camera sobbing with his head on the steering wheel at one point saying he's sorry according to video reviewed by cnn. please don't shoot me, mr. officer, please don't shoot me, man, please, can you not shoot me man. lane, step out and face away. i'm not shooting. it's at that point floyd is forcefully pulled from the car as officer lane and officer jay alexander keng struggle to handcuff him. shortly after a big struggle to get floyd into the squad car as floyd says he's cloaustrophobic and refuses to get in. at this point, floyd is being pushed into the police vehicle from one side by keng and pulled in from the other by lane. i can't breathe, i can't breathe floyd says. all the while flailing in cuffs as both officers are on top of him. get him on the ground lane says. let go of me, man. i can't breathe. i can't breathe. at one point, floyd just letting out a desperate scream for at least three seconds straight

according to video reviewed by cnn. about 30 seconds later are inside of lane's body camera and everybody falls to the infamously famous position with derek chauvin's knee on his neck. he calls out for his mom. >> mama, mama. >> reporter: as chauvin increases pressure down from the upright position according to video, four minutes later still coughed and under the knee of chauvin, floyd says, please, please, please, each plea is seemingly weaker than the one before according to video reviewed. lane says should we roll him on his side? chauvin, no, he's staying put where he got him. audio heard by cnn shows seconds later floyd says. >> you're stopping his breathing. >> those would be his final

words. the officers charge the in the death of george floyd are continuing to await trial on charges as high as second-degree murder for derrick chek chauvin declined comment. why the video is not released, that's what the judge agreed to, to let certain people in certain times to view the actually video. cnn and other outlet haves filed a motion to publicly release this video and we haven't seen that decision come just yet. erin. >> omar, thank you. really hard to hear that, even as omar reads it. before we go, as coronavirus cases are spiking across the country, don't misours our cnn global town hall. we talked to coronavirus facts and fears live tomorrow night at 8:00 eastern. we'll see you back here tomorrow. thanks for joining us and as always, watch our show anywhere and any time on cnn go. "ac 360" with anderson starts now. good evening. we begin tonight with what a

self-proclaimed war-time president looks like with 137,000 american lives lost in the war. we should point out what you're about to see is how he wants to look. we're not about to show you unguarded, unflattering behind the scenes moment. this is a picture the president of the united states posed for and put out on his instagram page. it's the image he chooses to protect to the families and friends and children and neighbors of 137,000 of his fellow americans. this is our wartime president today. and while there is plenty more that could be said about the idiot i can way it came to be, the pettiness behind it or political calculations that went into it, the truth is any attempt to explain or contentxt lize this photo will lead to insult. we'll let it speak for itself. a picture of the most powerful man on earth facing the most serious challenge on earth right now in the
