protests have sparked a new debate on how to reform policing and prevent police brutality. both president trump and former vice president joe biden have come out against calls to defund the police, but there are big differences over what should be done now. mary bruce has the latest. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, defunding the police has become a rallying cry for some protesters. the words actually now written in that mural here on the street leading to the white house. and now the president is pouncing on these calls to try to paint democrats as anti-law enforcement. eager to cast himself as the law and order candidate, president trump is slamming calls to defund the police. >> there won't be defunding. there won't be dismantling of our police and they're not going to be any disbanding of our police. he icoidering some police reforms, but he has yet to put forth any plan. >> we'll work and talk about ideas, how we can do it better and how we can do it if possible in a much more gentle fashion.

>> reporter: joe biden is calling for an overhaul of law enforcement and expressing solidarity with the protesters. monday night he said he also opposes defunding the police. >> no, i don't support defunding the police. i support conditioning federal aid to police based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency and honorableness. >> reporter: on capitol hill democrats taking a knee in george floyd's memory as they unveiled sweeping police reforms create a national registry of police misconduct. what the proposal does not include, any measures to defund the police. and nothe esenis training tge his campaign says they're looking to resume those big rallies in the next two weeks despite concerns about the pandemic. we know the president thrives on these massive crowds and he is eager to get back out there and tout what he says is an economic comeback.

george? >> mary bruce, thanks very much. let's bring in senator kamala harris from california. thank you for joining us this morning. we just saw mary's piece and saw what president trump said yesterday slamming democrats saying radical left democrats are behind defunding the police. how do you respond to that? >> yeah. well, it's just -- it's creating fear where none is necessary. listen, here's the thing. george, we all witnessed the tragic murder of george floyd. people protesting in the streets are protesting what has been a long-standing issue in america that needs to be addressed. and it can be done in a way that does not require us to create fear in people. the reality of it all is this, there needs to be accountability and consequence for anyone who breaks the law and breaks the rules and so what we're talking about in our package of bills is doing just that. and separately, we've really got to get to a point where we agree the status quo way of thinking about achieving safety is really

wrong when it assumes the best way to achieve more safety is to put more police on the streets. it's just wrong. you know how you create more safety? you fund public schools and it wouldn't be the case that in america today two-thirds of our public school teachers come out of their own pocket to help pay for school supplies. the way you create more safety is people have access to health care and it's affordable. the way you create more safety is the jobs in the community and economic opportunities and access to capital. you can look at any middle or upper middle class suburb in america, you don't see police presence there. but what you do see there are good schools. people have jobs and have incomes that help them get through the end of the month. >> does that mean you support a proposal like what we see in los angeles, mayor eric garcetti saying take some of the money and invest it in health initiatives and training initiatives for youth?

>> i support investing in communities so that they become more healthy and therefore more safe. right now what we're seeing in america is many cities spend over one-third of their entire city budget on policing. but meanwhile we've been defunding public schools for years in america. we've got to re-examine what we're doing with american taxpayer dollars and ask the question, are we getting the right return on our investment? are we actually creating healthy and safe communities? and that's a legitimate conversation and it requires a really critical evaluation. i applaud eric garcetti for doing what he's done. >> doeit mean boomin e ewon the iteans tha educati childrewh if you looat it over a course of time, we have defunded public schools in america. it means that we need to create economic opportunities, access to capital for small businesses in the midst of this coronavirus

which is still present. 90% of minority and women owned businesses, small businesses did not get access to the ppp. that's got to change. we need to recognize that if you invest in communities, they will be healthy, they will be strong and we won't have a need for militarization of police. right? we have to stop that. we have to stop militarization of police. that doesn't mean we get rid of police. of course not. we have to be practical about this. >> does joe biden have the formula right, don't defund the police but condition federal money on reforms in policing? >> listen, joe biden believes that we need to reform the system and i couldn't agree with him more. >> do you have any hope right now of getting republican support for your reforms? >> i do actually, george. you know, when i look at these marches, people who seemingly have nothing in common are marching together shoulder to shoulder speaking about what is

our collective desire to achieve the ideals of our country including equal justice under law. and i think -- you look at mitt romney who was the republican nominee for president. and he was out there with the people saying the phrase, black lives matter. i feel very hopeful about this because this is just -- it is literally -- it should not be a partisan issue. this is about the fact that good policing is good for america. that racism hurts all americans regardless of their race. >> senator harris, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you. george, we are following a lot of other headlines this morning including the very latest on that new spike in covid-19 cases as the country re-opens. plus the soap opera star testing positive and battling the virus in the hospital. and why some are saying eye protection is crucial. dr. ashton is here to break that all down for us. first, let's go to ginger. >> a lot of headlines coming out of what was left of cristobal.

in arizona, covid cases spiking by 34% over the past week. both hospitalizations and the death toll are soaring. >> we have seen a rise, you know, over the last few weeks. if we started to see a large more volume of patients needing acute hospital care we quickly could be overwhelmed. >> reporter: valley wise health nearing capacity, banner health, the state's largest health care system, the number of people on ventilators has quadrupled over the past three weeks and doctors say they have reached their maximum for how they can safely care for patients. >> are you concerned about the current trend? >> very much so. you know, like i said, matt, we just want to continue to be able to take care of our community and our sick patients as best we can. but we need our community to help us by being safe and trying to keep themselves healthy and our nurses and other staff healthy so that we can keep doing what we're doing for these

public health officials and epidemiologists, they were crystal clear from the onset. this virus has not disappeared because we spent a couple of months indoors in quarantine so it's about taking steps safely and cautiously to learn how to live with it. and, remember, there's a lag time between when someone can be exposed and infected and when they develop symptoms and when they might require hospitalization. so you're talking weeks and weeks, and for people who don't think they're at risk for covid, ponder this one, you could have chest pain, you could be having a heart attack, need to go to an emergency room and if that hospital is underwater treating covid patients, that can impact the care of any other medical emergency. >> now, that is extremely concerning. in terms of steps that we can be taking to further protect ourselves, there is a new study that says eye protection can further reduce the spread of coronavirus. >> exactly, amy. this appeared in "the lancet." they looked at 172 other studies, evaluated the evidence,

the strength of that data, and they found that with respect to masks, it helped lower the risk a little bit. with respect to eye protection which we haven't heard a lot about, they found that people who wore some kind of eye protection lowered their risk threefold of becoming infected. it went from 16% to 6%. now, there are cautions here. there are no official recommendations yet about eye protection. they said in "the lancet" the evidence was low regarding the benefit of eye protection, but it may be a good idea. those are the author's words. we're talking about anything from a face shield, clear cheap goggles or good old eyeglasses or sunglasses that people might have. >> all right, something is better than nothing. dr. jen ashton, we appreciate it. thank you so much. robin? >> okay, amy, thank you. and also this morning we are celebrating the life of singer bonnie pointer. one of the founding members of the pointer sisters.

such an interview, adding our doors remain open and we await word of when we should expect him. their blunt statement comes as the prince's legal team pushes back insisting that on at least three occasions he's offered to cooperate saying u.s. investigators have given an entirely misleading account of their dealings with the prince criticizing them for breaching confidentiality rules. the interview request is like a subpoena. if approved, it could mean the prince will be forced to testify in a uk court. communication between the two sides took a turn earlier this year when investigators standing outside epstein's $77 million new york city mansion, the same house andrew was seen visiting ten years ago in this video obtained by "the daily mail," says he hasn't followed through with their agreement. >> the southern district of new york and the fbi have contacted prince andrew's attorneys and requested to interview prince andrew, and to date prince andrew has provided zero cooperation. >> reporter: investigators could also want to talk to the prince because of his connection with ghislaine maxwell. maxwell was epstein's one-time

girlfriend, accused in lawsuits of recruiting young women for the financier to sexually abuse. allegations she has denied and she has not been charged with any crimes. epstein committed suicide in august and while andrew is not a subject of the sex ring investigation, virginia roberts giuffre seen in this infamous photo with prince andrew claims in court filings she was directed to have sex with the prince several times including twice while she was underage. allegations the prince denies. >> you don't remember meeting her? >> no. >> reporter: the backlash from this interview led to andrew's removal from royal duties and his exit from public life. >> he stepped back from his official role but the spotlight is still on him over the friendship and still has the potential to be very damaging. >> reporter: now, the doj has been investigating epstein for more than 15 years. and despite the fact that he died in jail, they plan to keep the investigation open trying to bring justice to other people

who they allege were also involved in his sex trafficking ring. the british home office has declined to comment on this request for an interview, and neither will buckingham palace. robin? >> i know you'll stay on it for us, maggie. thank you so much. coming up, you do not want to miss our "play of the day." trust me. your bank can be virtually any place. 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 save for an emergency from here. or pay bills 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. visit chase.com/mobile.

from wirecutter. check your speed. they pay for the fastest internet connection available and the wi-fi is not as fast as our expert thinks it should be. >> you should be getting somewhere in the order of 300 megabits standing right next to your router. >> reporter: to find out she uses speedtest.net. she's got a third slower than apartment mall speed. call the provider and make sure the hardware is properly configured and current. >> they do update their equipment. >> reporter: he says you need to ask for a new model about every four years. speed, though, isn't their only not covering the whole house especially the playroom where slow load times are the norm. >> if someone is trying to play a game that's where the fights are.

improve speeds and over a few years it will pay for itself instead of renting. smart tips. good luck with that wi-fi and close those tab, robin. >> you got it. becky, as always, thank you so, so very much. enjoy the rest of your day. take care. >> you too. >> see you. let's go now to ginger. how is your wi-fi at home? >> robin, so you're saying i should close out of my 294 tabs i have open. we're having trouble wit. we have a lot of work. adrian just walked in here. the "gma" moment, 2. >> jump rope. >> what is she dog? >> i did it. >> playing jump rope. she's trying. you're trying to practice jump roping, aren't you? you've been trying to.
