tv   Cuomo Prime Time  CNN  July 27, 2020 6:00pm-7:01pm PDT

6:00 pm
federal government's reaction. last week, portland's mayor was on 360. the response significantly escalated in what was already an intense situation. we'll see more of his testimony tomorrow, you can watch all of it starting at 10:00 a.m. right here on cnn. tonight you get chris cuomo and cuomo prime time. >> i'll take it. i am chris cuomo. welcome to prime time. if you want schools to open, if you want to get some control of the pandemic. the key is the we. you must do what you can. you have to think about you and your family, think about your community. and push your local leaders. i frame it this way because help is not coming from on high. proof? there's no plan for better testing. i hear you all over this country saying you can't get results fast enough. i know. there's no plan for it to get better. there's no plan to help us
6:01 pm
reopen schools. and there is a reason for this inaction, and it has a name. trump. last week he said it's going to get worse before it gets better. now he says this. >> i really do believe a lot of the governors should be opening up states that they're not opening, and we'll see what happens with them. >> you know it's going to get better. you're not helping them to reopen. they're asking you for help. and then you say, but they really should be reopening. we are seeing what's happening. death, too much of it, cases, too many. too fast. too many places, in fact, there's a word for it, it comes from the greek, pan meaning everyone demos people. pandemic, as in affecting all people. that's what we're seeing happening.
6:02 pm
that's what trump knows is happening. the white house can't contain the virus within its own walls. major league baseball can't keep players from catching covid instead of balls. how can this president and his cdc still argue it's safe enough to reopen schools in the fall with no plan? there is no irony in the fact that trump's national security adviser now has covid. robert o'brien. i wish mr. o'brien well, i hope he is asymptomatic. and if his daughter has covid also as is being reported. i wish her well. and i hope the rest of the family is spared and anyone that he was around, especially the president. o'brien was briefly in the white house last week after returning home from a business trip from europe. several pictures show him neither practicing social distancing nor wearing a mask.
6:03 pm
think about it. the guy tasked by trump with keeping our country secure isn't taking safety precautions and gets hit with what is arguably one of the biggest threats to our security right now. trump said today, he trusts all americans to do the right things. his own national security adviser didn't. and many others aren't because of what he was selling them just before last week. the person you must question trusting on this is trump. you must be outraged by the inaction. you must call on him to tell the experts around him, make a plan to increase our testing efficiency. do it smarter. get us results faster. 7 to 10 days doesn't help anybody. have them make a plan to help states open schools.
6:04 pm
that's your damn job. you're getting killed in the polls in large part because you're not taking charge in a pandemic. again, a virus affecting all people. more proof that all will suffer if we don't do the right things. now, the newly kicked off baseball season, a source of a flickering moment of joy for all of us could be in jeopardy less than a week after it began. 11 marlin players, two coaches just tested positive, forcing the team to postpone tonight's home opener and tomorrow's game. the phillies, yankees game also postponed, the mlb is conducting additional testing. this is the manager of the washington nationals today and he has a heart condition. >> i have to be honest with you, i'm scared. my level of concern went from about an 8 to a 12.
6:05 pm
>> the major league had a plan before putting players on the field. again, there's no guarantee here. there's major money in baseball. all that planning, all that money, these great athletes and yet we're supposed to say, yeah, the president's right, we should just open schools. states should just open them. how are they going to keep them open? i'll tell you what's great incentive, if you underfunded schools don't open. the president's threat to make you do it is withhold funding that goes to the neediest of you in large part for feeding them. seriously? look at the reality, players get tested all the time, okay? trump's own testing -- these players in baseball, they get tested a lot. trump's own testing czar says testing is not where it needs to be. that's a gross understatement. he has to be careful what he says otherwise he'll lose his job. look at the reality, you only
6:06 pm
control what you do, for your family, what you can influence in your own community and what you can demand from local leaders. i'm telling you if you're waiting for trump to use the federal government with all its power and influence, don't. because it's not happening. let's bring in someone who can give us a giant dose of reality, because we need it. i don't know about you, i'm a big baseball fan. i'm an even bigger football fan. i knew this was going to happen, doc. you get people in any proximity, the pandemic is going to manifest itself. are you surprised by any of this? >> chris, i'm surprised that the yankees game was cancelled tonight, but it was cans elled for good reason, obviously. covid got into the opposition, and any time people gather together in any kind of circumstance, whether it's a baseball circumstance or religious circumstance, for
6:07 pm
example, or a neighborhood bbq, statistically speaking, covid is afending that event with someone. stealthily, because they have no symptoms, but the covid virus is spreading. and that's the sort of circumstance we're in today. the virus is still ahead of us over most of the united states. we're still chasing afterwards. and open up quickly, that's cart before the horse. you know, if we could get control of this virus and then we could open up carefully. and that would assure the restoration of our economic life. this covid virus has got to be dealt with first, because it's not going away. >> the testing piece, i'm sure you're hearing this. more and more, even if people have access to tests, one, some of these tests, especially the faster the turnaround, the less accurate, they're getting tested
6:08 pm
multiple times, they're positive, negative, positive, negative. the better the testing, the longer the time. people are saying, it's taken me five days, seven days, ten days, more than ten days. are you hearing that as well? and how problem at it is that? >> it's hugely problematic. and, of course, i'm hearing it, because it's true in many many places across the country. some laboratories are having difficulty with their reagents, so they're having to slow down. other laboratories are so swamped with tests that they can't turn them around in time, and that's why you have this long waiting period before the test comes back, and what use is the test then. yeah, this is a problem across. >> imagine that in a school context. look, i've made no bones about it, i want my kids to go back to school. it's very hard for us having them home. i know for a lot of families it's harder for them. i got to tell you, just on
6:09 pm
testing alone, god forbid a kid in a class gets it, you know they're going to, now you have to test that kid, how long does it take to get the result back? you go to a hybrid method, a few days in class, a few days at home. now it screws up your work life, you have to be home at times, and the kid is being exposed in the classroom. i don't even know how they get to school, what does the bus driver do. the solution has to be about public spaces, i hear nobody talking about it. what's your take on schools? >> my take on schools is, the countries that have done it well, have controlled the spread of the virus first in the community. >> yeah. >> they did that first, then they opened their schools, we're in the midst of all this brouhaha and we're trying to open up our schools, our schools are going to try to do the very best they can, they're trying all sorts of different things. and we all hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
6:10 pm
and worry a lot because we can't predict, even we medical types can't predict exactly what's going to happen, so we'll be in a responsive mode trying to change course kind of in midstream, adjusting to local events as they occur. and gee, there's no wonder that parents are anxious on both sides. >> yeah. >> as you say, they would like their children to go to school for lots of good reasons, but at the same time, they're cautious and indeed many times afraid. >> you know what we're going to see? more inequality. communities where you see the virus being better controlled, are going to be more affluent communities. their kids are going to get in school faster, than kids in harder hit areas, they're going to correspond with poverty. they're not going to be in school as much. they're already at an imbalance. i don't understand why the federal government doesn't step
6:11 pm
up, make testing more of a priority. use all the assets of this economy to get the processing better. we're staying on them, as we get more information, i'll always look to you to help us process it, dr. william schaffner, be well and thank you, doc. let's take another beat on what happened in the mlb and the nfl by the way, but the florida marlins, players and coaches on that team coming down with the virus. why? you heard the doctor. you know it by now too, right? >> i mean, if you have people around a lot, in bigger numbers, what's going to happen? >> my point is, isn't this what school's going to look like? sports journalism legend bob costas with what this means for the mlb, the nfl, this breaking news out of the league. i have the perfect guest in the perfect kitchen next. ♪

6:15 pm
nfl commissioner roger goodell has announced preseason football games are cancelled, we all know why. this comes as major league baseball postpones three games in a regular season that barely started. and you know why, a covid outbreak.
6:16 pm
we're seeing a ripple effect. is it going to get worse like we saw after the nba suspended its season back in march? let's bring in legend bob costas. welcome back to prime time. >> hey, chris. >> you have to assume that a league sophisticated as mlb as nfl is, they have to know this was likely. what is the adjustment by mlb in context of what you would have imagined? >> well, rob manfred said a couple hours ago, that he does not view this as a nightmare scenario, they did expect it would happen some place to some extent. they think they're just doubling down on the extensive protocols they have, we'll get it done. but to put it in some kind of perspective, the marlins had 11 players test positive, plus a couple other staff members. none of them are symptomatic at the moment. and also broader picture, less than 1% of total personnel,
6:17 pm
players and everyone else involved had tested positive since they got together for workouts prior to the resumption of the season and then this weekend when the season resumed. now you have a team with more than a third of its active roster set aside, those players would have to test negative twice before being cleared to play. they have 30 extra players in the minor league system. they'll bring them up. cancel the two games they were to have played in miami against the orioles. they happen to be in baltimore wednesday and thursday. the aren't yankees/phillies game is cancelled tonight is the yankees would have to use the same clubhouse the marlins used when they played the phillies. and all the phillies players need to be tested. even with the best intentions, the most humane intentions, it's
6:18 pm
a tightrope walk. it's a fingers crossed situation. there's the possibility that eventually somewhere along the line there's going to be a match that turns into a tinder box and into a forest fire. i hope not. you know how much i love baseball. every time i crossed paths with your dad, that's all we talked about. i hope they can get it done, but there's a lot of needles to thread. >> they have access to the kind of testing where they can get answers fast. and they still have to deal with it. >> most communities can't. and they knew this was going to happen. so they have different layers of insulation and had to deal with the perm u takings of the outcome. with our schools we have none of that. we can't get fast test results, we don't know what to do if we do, every community is its own league, nightmare scenario.
6:19 pm
now the nfl says no preseason games, in an open letter because of covid. what does that speak to for you? >> players would push for that before they come back to camp. the nba is in a bubble, so is the nhl. neither the nhl or nba has had a single positive test since they entered into the bubble. baseball is not in a bubble. 30 teams in their respective locations, football 32. and the best guess, everything is a guess as you know. there may be another surge in the fall and winter, that's when the nfl season is. you consider the size of the rosters and nature of the sport. if baseball only a few days into their results is running into some sort of a problem, it's not a nightmare, but it is a problem, what does common sense tell you about the possibility of getting through a full
6:20 pm
football season? >> i know a lot of sports insiders are saying, the players never like the preseason games, that's not what this is about. do you believe they're using this as leverage to get something they always wanted? >> no, i think their fears are completely legitimate. just as an aside, there's still talk like college football. these players are young people who are not compensated and they have no union to protect their interests. if you don't have a normal campus situation. if students are not at the games, not attending classes in a normal way, doesn't the that blow the cover of student athletes? we're going to play for television money? >> bob costas is living his life, someone says, we need sports. it is huge to our national moral, and we need it now more than ever, it shows normal, these are our heroes, we need this, bob. don't play to the risk. play to the reward.
6:21 pm
what does bob costas say? >> we want sports. we don't need sports. and if i have to prove my credentials as a guy who is interested in sports, i watched a lot of baseball this weekend. i found it interesting even with no one in the stands. there are legitimate issues here, when people said, this will mark a return to normal. really? when you're getting reports like this? watching the game and the manager comes out to the mound that he's wearing a mask and he has to socially distance? he they have a 100 plus page protocol it doesn't make sense that every one of these people will adhere to those protocols. they're not in a bubble. to me, it's a reminder. even if you're enjoying it of how abnormal circumstances are.
6:22 pm
>> it is the abnormal. until we get the pandemic out of our way, everything is going to be affected. >> it's a new normal. it's not a return to the old norm normal. >> i don't know that you can, until you get at least a year from now. there's one theory among epidemiologists, if you keep playing it this way, it won't go away. and their understanding of herd immunity is bifur indicating. no, actually, you need such a high percentage of the population, you can play it out like this, and get killed by death by 1,000 cuts if you don't take it seriously. i wonder if the sports will be a cat list. if we're getting sick we have to take it seriously. >> sports focuses people's attention, it may seem relatively unimportant, but it cuts across all demographic lines. i think baseball. i have to stipulate how much i
6:23 pm
love baseball. baseball might have been better off taking a look at the big picture and saying, even before they started. there's too many whys and whe wherefores here. no season in 2020, we hope we can come back and play a full year under safe conditions in the spring of 2021. in the meantime god bless you, good luck and good-bye. they would have looked more states man like if that had happened. but here we are. >> if this is any indication. if schools just open, we're going to see a lot of problems. in terms of what they're prepared for and what they're not. it's as good a chance it goes out without a hitch as the nationals call up tony fauci to be their new reliever. >> yeah. that first pitch was just a bit outside. >> here's my defense. he was a shortstop, he was going
6:24 pm
to first. he was going to first. that was the throw. to first. the throw wouldn't have made it that far. now a parenthetical aside, the minnesota vikings head trainer and infection control officer tested positive. so too did members of his family. doesn't that tell you where we are? >> yes, it does. and we keep learning the same lesson. when will we do something about it. bob costas, value added. thank you very much. >> thanks. horrible situation that has been made more horrible by the way it's being approached. a black lives matter protester shot and killed this weekend, austin, texas. you can hear the gunfire in this video. >> everybody back up. now, how do you make something like that worse? the bizarre nature is that it seems to be processed through the lens of politics.
6:25 pm

a man protesting police brutality was killed saturday night. he went to the demonstration with his wheelchair bound fiancee. he was legally carrying an ak-47 style rifle. something he was interviewed about on social media. take a listen. >> they don't let us march in the streets any more, so we have to practice somewhere, right? >> this is not the only time he did this, okay? he was known within that protest movement before coming this way. here's the sail yant part. at some point a car got involved
6:30 pm
in the protesters, some say it was driving through an intersection. others say it burst on to the scene. other way, foster was in a crowd of protesters that sur rouun rounded the car, thin this happened. >> everybody back up. [ gunfire ] >> what do we know? >> the driver opened fire. they told police that when they called 911, so we know that. we know someone else in the crowd also opened fire. not the man you just saw being interviewed, though. there are no reports of foster firing his weapon. all of the guns were legal, take that off the table. it's not a conversation about was it right to have the gun, not have the gun. everyone was there legally. no one has been arrested. why? >> police say they are investigating and the application of stand your ground
6:31 pm
which is a gee fence to any homicide charge that you were in reasonable fear of serious injury. does that exist here? if it is, there's not going to be any more to the investigation. there won't be any charges, that's not uncommon in texas. what we don't know. the identity of the shooter, who killed foster. if there's no charge, if there's not a suspect, they wasn't name the person necessarily. they won't release that name until someone is arrested. we don't know if foster ever raised his weapon or even spoke with the driver. you will know that, there were a lot of people there, police will find that out if they endeavor to. we don't know what the driver was doing before the car was surrounded. we will, because there were a lot of witnesses. let's start piecing this together. it matters too much. james sasanowski was there.
6:32 pm
he heard the gunfire, he saw what went down. i'm sorry you had to live through this, i appreciate you taking the opportunity to help us understand it a little bit better. when it comes to this. what did you see? >> we were marching north up congress avenue. there was a black jet sedan turning right on congress. to head south where there were hundreds of protesters, the thing i want to make extremely clear. and any witness will tell you this, but many of them are dealing with their things, they haven't come out like i have. the driver intentionally and aggressively accelerated their vehicle into a crowd of people. that is extremely clear. >> wait, let's question it as we go, that's an important detail. there are others who say that
6:33 pm
the driver was there according to normal traffic blocked by protesters, became spooked and trying to get away from a threat. and that's what you're calling accelerated? >> no, no, no, no, no. that's not true at all. not even close. he was at the intersection. wanted to turn right, i don't know if he used his blinker. we were coming up congress, we were going perpendicular to the way his car was moving. he accelerated through his turn and almost ran a bunch of people over. this, like i said, this was intentional. it was aggressive. and he accelerated into a crowd of protesters, he could have waited for us to pass or he could have gone slowly and we would have allowed him to go through, wouldn't have been a problem. there was other traffic here and there. it was mostly blocked off, but he could have made it through just fine. he intentionally accelerated into the crowd. he incited the violence, period.
6:34 pm
>> when he did that, that's when protesters started to surround the car, did you see foster? >> i did not see foster specifically. they almost ran people over. they started smoking his windows and stuff. a bunch of people jumped in the way. i was about 20 feet away from the window, a little bit, i was behind the car almost off to the side a little bit. and i was kind of looking forward, back over my shoulder. while i was looking forward, i heard the first few shots. i turned over my shoulder and saw sticking out of our fully extended driver window, was his last arm, with the handgun in his hand and i watched several more shots get fired. i saw the orange flashes off the top of the gun. in the moment, i thought he was firing inzremen atly into the crowd. we know he was aiming specifically at garret.
6:35 pm
>> we don't know what he was doing, we know he hit garret, and the issue became why did he fire at garret, now, on that, garret foster. you can't help us, isn't that the truth, because you didn't see what happened before? >> i didn't -- i don't know whether or not garret pointed his gun at the vehicle. he called the authorities, he got his story in first. that's how you play these things, try to get in as least trouble as possible. he knew how to play this. what i saw was his arm was perpendicular, it looked like it was in the crowd. out of the five bullets he shot three 6 them went into garrett. you cannot tell me that was not intentionally aimed at garrett. it obviously was. >> i understand, what did people
6:36 pm
tell you about what happened before? >> it was -- from the moment the car stopped to when the first rounds were fired was less than ten seconds. it was extremely rapid, there was not a lot of turn around time, it was just people screaming at the car, obviously, i don't imagine that there was any kind of real conversation going on. i -- >> did anybody tell you that they saw the victim point the weapon at the shooter. >> nobody has told me that. i have not heard any witnesses say they saw garrett point at the shooter or at the vehicle. but i want to be very clear that the driver incited the violence, he accelerated into the crowd of people and shot first. >> i understand. james, look, i know this is going to hit you in waves, this is a very hard thing to be around, when it happens and know what the result was i know why you were there, i know you were there to fight for justice, and justice is what we should all
6:37 pm
want in this situation after a author reinvestigation. thank you for helping people understand what you saw, what you heard and what you didn't see and hear. last word to you quickly. >> i want to emphasize that this comes back to black lives matter. if black lives mattered in this country we would still have garrett today. it's in your own best interest to support marginalized people. thank you, chris. be safe. >> you too, be safe. our next guest says foster may have been there for good reason. but he did something bad in this moment, he had it coming. our next guest used to be a member of the austin pd. he leads the austin police department's union. what is his argument and why is he making it, next. you hear that?
6:38 pm

and i'm an area manager here at amazon. when you walk into an amazon fulfillment center, it's like walking into the chocolate factory and you won a golden ticket. it's an amazing feeling. my three-year-old, when we get a box delivered, he gets excited. he screams, "mommy's work!" when the pandemic started, we started shipping out all the safety stuff
6:40 pm
that would keep the associates safe to all the other amazons. all of these are face masks, we've sent well over 10 million gloves. and this may look like a bottle of vodka. when we first got these, we were like whoa! [laughing] with this pandemic, safety is even more important because they're going home to babies, they're going home to grandparents. so, our responsibility is to make sure that they go home safe every single day.
6:41 pm
6:42 pm
investigators in austin texas are sorting out what happened at the shooting that resulted in one man being killed as well they should. however, at the same time that the investigation is ongoing, the head of the police union there tweeted this out. saying, foster was looking for confrontation and he found it. that man is kenneth cassidy, president of the austin police association. thank you for joining us on prime time. >> is an officer to your understanding, is there an officer police officer involved incident to this? >> no, there's not, from what i understand. >> thank you. >> why am i talking to you in the context of what your role is here, what are your statements
6:43 pm
if it doesn't involve an austin police officer? why have you become the proxy for the man who shot this protester? >> we've been battling back and forth with our city council to stop allowing these protests normally you have to have a permit. it makes it difficult for us to keep up with the proper security folks need. that is one of the big issues that we had. and the person that's been down there videoing, doing a fantastic job of getting the info out, the same gentleman has been showing up with an ak-47 showing up in front of the city manager's house, it was a problem, you know, and you look
6:44 pm
like you're picking a fight when you're out standing in front of the city manager's house intimidating them, trying to get them to -- >> hold on, i'm surprised to be hearing this from somebody from texas. he has the right to carry the long arm, and he -- >> absolutely. >> he can carry it wherever he wants, and mr. foster had that same right, what i'm saying is, as someone who represents police officers, who are in the business of protect and serve, why would you put out a statement that foster got what he was looking for, as if he deserved to be shot? >> i was trying to put out the information of his interview that was made a couple hours before this incident occurred. i thought it was relevant for people to see that. >> how is it relevant for people to see he was shot based on his own behavior. >> it's relevant because --
6:45 pm
>> it sounds like you like the idea that the guy got shot, because you don't like that he was there. extre screams of insensitivity. you shouldn't be putting that out there? >> he was down there peacefully protesting with the firearm. then he comes out and says, no one's going to stop limb from doing it, because everyone's a bunch of pussies. to me, that's relevant. he won the go to the cops because he knows he's going to get shot. i'm going to march where i want to. >> what i heard him say in the clip we just played is, they won't let us exercise our first amendment right, i have to exercise what rights i can. i didn't hear what you're suggesting, but even if he did say that. even with your incredibly
6:46 pm
forgiving stand your ground law that gives someone no need to or requirement to retreat. you still have to prove that the person in the car had a right-hand fear of serious injury before firing at the person. just having the ak-47 doesn't create that, does it? >> no, it does not. you know, like i said in tv interviews with our local news stations tonight, the difference will be, was he walking around with it or were the witnesses correct that said he came up and pointed at the individuals. >> so far neither person that fired rounds that night had been arrested. this is most likely the case that will go to the grand jury or refuse to indict. >> they let the guys go home. i see that as one of the most bizarre things here, i know if they -- it's so surprises to me that in this instance, there's
6:47 pm
no probable cause when you have a bunch of witnesses around saying that garrett foster didn't point his weapon at the man, and that if anything his belief was unreasonable. and they get to go home. no small irony as people are arguing for better justice, for black people in this society. very rarely you hear a story about black people going home after killing somebody. my last question to you is, i want to make sure you're sensitive to this. the police are being looked at with a lot of scrutiny these days. do you think it's the right time to put out a message like you did, hey, this is what you get? >> chris, we put -- i put that out, because i thought the community needed to know, and maybe in hindsight it wasn't the best thing to do. i stand by what i did. >> if it wasn't the best thing 20 do, why don't you not to be what foster was referring to people as, when they're too scared to do something. why don't you say, i shouldn't have done it, it's the wrong
6:48 pm
message to say anything that seems in anyway justifying violence where someone wound up dead, especially someone who represents the police, i vunt have said that. don't stand by it, step away from it and say it was wrong. why don't you do that? >> i put it out there, thought it was important for people to see that and i stand by what i did. other people disagree. and i just think it was the best thing for the community to know at that time, especially with the individuals showing up and marching in front of city council people's houses and the city manager. to me, that shows that you're trying to intimidate our sitting city councilmembers and city management. i felt like that was important for them to know, and that's it. >> you know what else is intimidating? taking a handgun pointing it outside a car and firing it into a crowd and killing someone.
6:49 pm
that's intimidating as well. i appreciate you coming on the show to make your case, i wish you well, and i hope the situation resolves in the interest of justice. >> thank you, chris. i appreciate you. so, when you get a check... you can deposit it from here. and you can see your transactions and check your balance from here. you can detect suspicious activity on your account from here. and you can pay your friends back from here. so when someone asks you, "where's your bank?" you can tell them: here's my bank. or here's my bank. or, here's my bank. because if you download and use the chase mobile app, your bank is virtually any place. so visit chase.com/mobile.

freedom rides, arrests, blood. they led to desegregation. not the riots. not touching to hurt. not touching to destroy. that is criminal. that's not what lewis did and cheapening what we're seeing now. by those abhorrent acts is really bad trouble at work. you are ignoring the reality and picking on the aberration. for bad reason. where do we see that? the other side in portland. this isn't about calling out men and women being sent in. the man sending them in. president trump is making bad trouble. he says the federal forces pr protecting federal property from violence. local officials say they didn't ask. local officials say they are making it worse. what's gained? for trump we know what it is. perverse pandering. to white americans.
