blitzer. he died may of 23, the cause was not disclosed. my deepest condolences to his family and may he rest in peace and his memory be with us. erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. "outfront" now, mass confusions, the cdc guidance leaving states and businesses to go alone. matt gaetz' wing man flips, paying an under age girl for sex and now his attorney had a warning for the congressman. and quote "this is unhinged" on trump's latest claim on that state's audit.

what's the message? he's with my guest tonight, let's go "outfront." >> good evening, i am erin burnett. the wild west masking up and states and businesses are all scrambling to address the new cdc guidance that fully vaccinated people don't have to wear a mask anymore, not outdoors and indoors. the guidance results in a lot of confusions. today president biden doing little to clear up the confusion. >> as i said last week some people may want to continue to wear a mask even if they are fully vaccinated. that's a decision they can make. some businesses may want to continue requiring wearing masks. >> whole depot and whole foods have not updated their mask policy. now, nobody seems to know and it

seems different even within a given store, nobody is sure and there is a lot of confusion. while 20 states plus the district of columbia drops mask rules, it is confusing. take maryland, the state is saying okay, you can take the masks off. the city of baltimore, the biggest city in the state is not. some states like california and new jersey as an entire state are going incredibly solo. well, here is the governor of new jersey. >> i don't know how we can expect workers who's vaccinated or who is not. it is unfair to put the burden on business owners and front line employees to police patrons. >> so you can understand the confusion. fundamentally the cdc admits this whole new policies is based on trust. >> in terms of the honor system, people have to be honest with themselves. you are protected if you are vaccinated and you are not if you are not vaccinated.

>> the thing is, look at some of the images from this weekend. i will show you kansas city, one of the largest sporting events where masks are optional. i am looking and you don't see any masks, right? if the honor system was working, 31%, of the people in that stadium would have had no masks. you would have 69% of people wearing masks and the picture would not look like anything you actually saw, right? is that what honesty looks like? just days before the cdc changing their guidance, president biden was sending this message again and again. >> why am i wearing a mask? because when we are inside t good policy to wear a mask and then it just completely changed. >> the cdc is making decisions

based on the science they have and the truth is hundreds of thousands of deaths could have been prevented according to dr. de debra birx. today if you look at the deaths situation, deaths as biden pointed out are at their lowest levels since april of 2020. some experts feel those gains could be lost because of the sudden shift of the total reversal on masks. our dr. sanjay gupta is reporting that he spoke with senior leaders at the cdc, days before the announcement when biden says it is good policies to wear a mask insight. they were telling sanjay indoor masking were to be lifted and it was not imminent in any way. former health commissioner dr. leana wen wrote "this is a major

blunder that threatens to setback much of the progress made, president biden needs the fix it, urgently." >> when you talk to white house officials they understand there is a scramble going on right now. they see it and hearing about it. they acknowledged their hands are tied by the system they put in when they took office. the president and his top aid made it clear they were not going to meddle of what science said and what health officials decided of the best course of action. the president's top adviser did not find out that the cdc shifting their guidance. they had to scramble to figure out what the repercussions were. clearly, they lean into it fully. the vice president and president walking out that day without

masks on and trying to use it to underscore the improvements that have been made and progress. behind the scenes there is no questions about it. there were some frustration about how this was dropped on their laps and without any sense or grasp of the repercussion nationwide. that being said, white house officials are making it clear, they believe the cdc guidance up to this point was clear. they believe the science behind the decision backs up the decision was made. they blelieve over the course o the next several days and week to smooth out a rough transition process over the course of the last several days. what we'll see is heavy hand changes from the administration. it all comes back to the posture they wanted when they took office. public health officials were going to lead the way, that's what they have done here.

press secretary jen psaki was asked about this. this is the way the white house was going to go along the cdc. >> thank you very much. i want to go out front as promised to mayor of kansas city. i appreciate your time. biden finds out that morning and you found out a few hours later. the new york times pointed out, you went from tweeting, you were not changing your mask order to completely getting rid of it in the span of seven hours because the guidance changed in the middle there. it sounds like you were caught off guard by the city announcement as well. >> we were cut-off guard. our goal has been to align ourselves with the cdc. we are in a red state and a red region. we want to say it is the science and medical experts helping us to make our decisions.

when you see this shift, particularly one that does not align with how enforcement is done, it creates a challenge for us. >> then you changed to go along with the cdc. the context what you point out where you are, the cdc, you heard director wallensky saying if it is the honor system and about 70% of the picture i showed would be wearing masks, they were not wearing masks. i don't say it to pass judgment on them. i am making a point are you worried on this, quote on quote, "honor system." >> we are very worried. if you were vaccinated, you can be in a room where you knowvacc. that's one way where you can have some sort of checks where you can say go to your near by

crowded retailer and 40% can have masks off and the other 60% are supposed to have them on. it creates this challenge of how did our health department enforced any rules at all. it is a challenge for us and we just said maybe this is the point where we have to switch our records to encouraging vaccinations the because otherwise there really is not a way that you can check on and off. >> it sounds like what you are saying, if the science show vaccinated people can do these things, great. you have a lot of people who are not vaccinated. you are into social science and psyc psychology. that's what we are seeing. that's trumping science. so did you even think about trying to maintain the mask mandate? i mentioned maryland, the state

is getting rid of it but the state of baltimore is keeping it. >> i said this the other day, f for those mayors and governors, you have a whole group of mask haters. the one challenge the cdc was trying to encourage people to get vavaccinated. those of us who have been vaccinated are the ones who don't have a problem wearing a mask. so many people vaccinated, hey, i understand, i am going to keep wearing it. i was vaccinated months ago and don't mind doing so. you want to encourage those people sitting on defense by them going to places needing a mask and saying this is how we lift up everyone. if jurisdictions at 70% vaccination rates, those are the sorts of things that may made a difference for us. i say respectfully to the cdc, we need to get back to the point encouraging those to get

vaccinated rather than celebrating our new found freedoms because the honor system is not working here or a lot of parts in this country. >> i think you are right. anybody who's honest no matter where they live have seen that far already. mayor, i appreciate your time. thank you. >> i want to go now to dr. jonathan rhiner. the honor system is not working and just call it out. when we get to this level of vaccination, this is what you will get as a way to encourage. what do you say to those concerns? >> well, he should do that. look, the cdc does not make law. the cdc chooses guidelines. the cdc got the science right by saying vaccinated people are completely protected whether they are indoors or outdoors or they're wearing a masks or not. vaccinated people are protected. what states and locality needs

to understand is they need to customized how they enact these guidelines. maryland where i live has a test positivity rate of 1.7%, about half the national average. mississippi on the other hand has a test positivity rate of 13.8%. states should also look at what their vaccination rates are. some states in the northeast have adult vaccination rates of 70%. some states in the south have vaccination rates of 45%. the leaders in those states should take the guidelines from the cdc and enact sensible regulation that makes sense for their state. there is so much vaccines out, i am not sure any of this going to matter. >> that's true, there is plenty for everybody who wants it. i raise the question though that the administration wanted to go ahead with the science and they did not want to get a tip from

the cdc and i respect that. are you concerned of social science and psychology, that's really important here and perhaps even more important than the raw data of what matters for a vaccinated person as opposed todd an unvaccinated person. >> i hear what you are saying but the administration and the cdc were a bit boxed in by politics and the politics that the administration took vaccine pass ports off the table early on. once you take vaccine passport off the table, you remove the able to tell who's vaccinated or who was not. how do you not remove orle less the restrictions on them. without vaccine passport, it became to know possible of who's who. >> it is a broader issue that

president biden and desantis did not support vaccine passport. i don't understand it. everybody is taking screened sh shots of their vaccine cards. it is safer and getting businesses opened. do you understand why there is such a problem to it? >> it is been politicized the way masks were politicized. it is a completely probusiness initiative. it is a way to fill up broadway theater and restaurants at 100% capacity if you can show that everyone in the restaurant is vaccinated. it is a probusiness thing. for the population, if you don't want to use it, you don't have to use it. no one forces you to use a vaccine passport. >> obviously it would be a nice

thing. a lot of people around the world would like to have such a thing. >> thank you very much, i appreciate it as always, doctor. >> my pleasure. >> the controversial of the third arizona's audit. he calls trump's laytest claim unhinged. plus, matt gaetz's friend flipped and his friend's attorney had this ominous warning for the republican congress. >> i guess this is must-see television, you have to wait and see. the officer who yelled "taser" before firing her gun at wright in court. her response. >> erin burnett "outfront" brought to you by cfp, certified

database of maricopa has been deleted". all of it deleted. i guess you could not check it because they deleted the whole thing. i don't know what conspiracy leads to. that led to my next guest who knows what he's talking about to tweet, quote, "wow, this is unhinged, we can't indulge these insane lies any longer." steven richard, i appreciate your time. >> thank you so much erin. >> you are sitting at your computer and you got a couple of screens up like everybody these days and you are looking at the voter database and the midst of all this. the entire database in your county, the most important county by size and arizona had been deleted , all caps.

what did you do at that moment? >> i wactually got the letter t me from a reporter, she basically says what gives and what's going on here and why are you deleting files. i was sitting there looking at our voter registration database and i have the election database as well and on my computer. what cab we do here? the pencil sitting on my desk in front of me does not exist. >> yes, that's what's so hard to understand about this because that's what it is. and yet people still believe it. they are looking at the pencil and somehow they don't believe it is there. you responded and you took a stance on this. you said the president's statement was, quote on quote, "unhinged." why did you feel you needed to do that and what gave you the

courage to do it? now you stuck your head up and you know what in coming feels like. this was not about president trump. it is about the people who work in this office, i came into this office and trying to make it as boring as possible. i have sitting on the asideline and this is my first national interview. at some point, we are humans, good people working here at maricopa county. that's my team and my office and my friends. i wanted to say something and i never would have imagined it gotten that big. >> i know you have a meeting today held by republican control board sup vervisors. you already had two audits. they all show the same thing about who won.

that board sent a 14-page letter tonight of refuting claims after claims and accusing the auditors of miscounting the ballots. what more can you tell us about all this? >> just indulging this. stop giving space for lies. we found out about this accusation through the arizona's senate audit twitter account which is anonymously run, just accusing me and my staff of unlawfully completing evidence. that's not appropriate. i called the former president, did you want to accuse me of unlawful evidence? she wrote back that she did not have control over these accounts. what's going on and who are

these people defaming us. i don't think they are professionals. >> the board now which is the third audit and this one is put forth by the republican state's senate. you are saying it needs to end for the good of the state and the country. any time we heard about it oh, this could drag on for months. how worried are you about that? >> that's why we did this. it is exhausting having to respond to every insinuation. i have no idea how long this will go on for. it will possibly go into 2022 where another pivotal county in the national landscape but they only completed one-fourth of the ballot s and they have a whole bunch of other things planned. they are only doing two elections on a ballot that had over 60 elections. how they chose that?

would they want to choose the closest race that's on every s single ballot in maricopa county. >> so you are saying yours where you - they're not concerned of the margin of victory as indicative of fraud. what's given you the courage to speak out here. there will be repercussions of your coming out and speaking the facts and speaking why you think this is so important to the country. i know you know that. you are prepared for that. >> yes, i don't care about the consequences. this has been a rude awakening to what politics have become. if i am not part of it four years from now, so be it. i can do other things that'll make me happy. i am tired of my people who are good people who are my friends

matt gaetz's former ally pleads guilty to six federal charges and paying under age girls for sex.

>> does my client information that hurt an elected official? i guess it is just, you know, must-see television, you have to wait and see. pa paula reed is out front. you were in the courtroom today and what did you see and what does this mean for gaetz? >> reporter: erin, what was so remarkable in the courthouse is seeing this greenberg who bragged about spending tens of thousands of dollars on prostitutes and sex parties and he was there and he was in a prison jump suit. he had handcuffs and big chain around his waist. that's how it is going to be for him for a decade.

he was quiet as he whispered yes or no to the judge. fraud, conspiracy and stalking. one of the most important admissions he made is he not only had sex with a minor but he introduced this child to other adult men who paid her for sex. that's the big question, who were these other men and have he implicated congressman matt gaetz. gree greenberg's lawyer had not reveal what his client said. in addition to denying any allegations, they are attacking joel greenberg credibility. joel greenberg is an admitted felon. one of the things he admitted that falsely accusing a teacher who challenged him of his tax and accusing that teacher being

a pedophile. the investigators are not solely relying on the words of greenberg. they had hundreds of documents and other witnesses. they're looking at all these things to assess whether they have enough evidence to charge the congressman. >> such a crucial point, paula reid. thank you, anything he says they'll have completely backed up documentations for the reason she just laid out. laura coach joins me now. joel greenberg's lawyer, does he have information that can hurt an elected official? i guess this is such information and you have to wait and see. >> remember you don't go from 30 something charges down to six unless you have been able to be an assistant to the federal

government. there may be a note for this attorney to make sure the prosecutor who ultimately will have a decision to say what sort of sentence this person will have and he's really valuable, keep him as a cooperator, reminding the prosecutors as much as the people who may be on the hook down the line to say he's really important. >> so, gaetz is sitting there now knowing things that may be investigators know now. he's sitting there and this whole story has changed. his former friend have formally flipped. what do you think gaetz and his lawyer should be doing right now? >> they are vulnerable right now and wondering what information has been corroborated as paula already talked about. there are obvious credibility issues and somebody admitted and lying about somebody else and

involving with a minor. you have credibility. you have documentation with receipts and other information that corroborates with other witness and other people. so gaetz's team is wondering are there other players that are not yet advertised publicly in this way. they are waiting to hear more about and we did not see gaetz's name mentioned. that shot across the ballot is very important. what they have to do is attack his credibility. the court is essentially saying if he's lying about that then he's lying about this as well. somebody is trying to be i in -- prosecutors are aware of people incentivized and try to lie. they have to corroborate their way. gaetz is wondering what else do they know. >> yeah, he knows things perhaps

his own lawyer does not know. >> laura coates. thank you very much. the violent clashes es escalating tonight, israel is pounding gaza and hamas is firing back. biden is offering support for a cease-fire, will it make a difference at all. the trial may be on television of deontay wright. the police's response.

he stops short for a full demand of a cease-fire. biden is under pressure. nic robertson is out front. what are you seeing? >> we are not seeing a lot of rockets tonight. down on the border of gaza and iran today, they were laying down some very heavy barrages of artilleries. they used those barrages to target the tunnel system. we heard the idea that they had

taken out 80% to 90% of hamas' weapons making capacity. that includes engineers and buildings and equipment. they think effectively rendering useless of 100 kilometers, the area and the space they use to get around their battlefield being spotted at the scene. there is a lot of destruction as and damages done. benjamin netanyahu met with his security chief, his intelligence chief and he came out of the meeting and said, the directive to continue with strikes against hamas. the picture that's painted on the ground despite president biden's conversations with the prime minister supporting the cease-fire but not demanding it. it does seem that the conflict

continue. the death toll rises and the strikes continue here. so there is nothing at the moment that appears to be putting the brakes on the conflict. that's what we are saying. i would add again tonight. it has been relatively quiet in terms of hamas' rockets. >> nic, thank you very much. maybe quiet now but the situation continues to escalate. the administration is facing growing questions about why it is not doing more to put pressure on israel right now. what happened today and why the hesitancy. >> that's right, tony blinken

was asked twice, why the biden administration is not doing more to stop this air campaign in gaza and given this special relationship that the u.s. and israel have particularly military. secretary blinken dodged the question both times. he reiterated the biden administration supports a two-state solution, he referenced the intensive and dipl diplomacy carried out. today and yesterday speaking with a number of his counter parts in countries like qatar and egypt and united emirates and france and european union, we are waiting to see what those ongoing discussions that push to bring an end to this crisis actually amounted to. >> kylie atwood, thank you very much.
