this will be the first weekend that miami's beaches have been open in months and casinos set to open today as florida sees its biggest jump in cases since the pandemic began. one expert calling the numbers devastating. this morning, states across the country are pushing ahead with re-opening plans even as experts warn a new wave in the pandemic is coming. one harvard doctor says the death toll in the u.s. could surpass the 200,000 mark by september. >> if we don't act, the future is very grim. there will be a lot of people who will get very, very sick. many people will die. >> reporter: florida is among the 20 states seeing an increase in cases. county health officials citing lack of face coverings and social distancing behind the spike and despite seeing the state's highest increase in cases so far, florida governor ron desantis says schools will be open this fall. >> having a teacher there, there's not going to be a substitute for that in-person instruction. >> reporter: infectious disease

now reporting that a second person has tested positive for covid-19 after this large memorial day pool party at the lake of the ozarks. and oregon now delaying their re-opening for at least a week citing the rising number of cases there. bottom line, the doctor we spoke with from fiu says 90% to 95% of us are still susceptible to the virus and when we let our guard down, we see uptake in cases. t.j.? >> victor, thank you for that. we turn to the stock market plunged on thursday having its worst day since march connected to the alarming predictions about a next wave of coronavirus. our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis joins us now with the latest. rebecca, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, t.j. the dow did open more than 600 points higher this morning. still three critical questions on wall street. first the spike in coronavirus cases in states that have re-opened. those re-openings need to run smoothly. we need to see rehiring there to get the economy back on track.

that brings us to the second issue -- jobs. still 21 million americans are out of work. while some jobs are coming back it's still a problem that the country needs to work through and the time table on that with this spike in coronavirus cases could actually take longer. finally, there is this big question on wall street about whether we've come too far too fast. if you look back at february and march, the market tanked. now it's virtually back where it started. >> we talk about the reality for most of america. always this idea of wall street versus main street. wall street also made a full recovery, if you will. a lot of people in the country not feeling that. how is that even possible? >> reporter: well, and a lot of people scratch their heads when they look at this question because, again, the way that wall street has performed versus the way that the underlying economy appears to be performing is a big question mark. now, wall street is always trying to forecast the future but there is another thing at play here. five major tech companies,

apple, amazon, alphabet, the parent company of google, microsoft and facebook have had a huge amount to do with the gains that we've seen over these last handful of months. they are about $5 trillion worth of the overall stock market. t.j.? >> rebecca, always breaking it down for us. thank you so much. whit? all right, t.j. to seattle now where police have abandoned one of its precincts allowing protesters free rein to set up what they call an autonomous zone free of law enforcement. president trump blasting seattle's mayor and washington's governor. we'll talk to the police chief in just a moment. first, matt gutman in seattle with the latest. matt, good morning. >> reporter: hey, whit. good morning from the heart of this police-free zone. you can see where everybody is lining up. that was the 6th precinct. they're here trying to protect this precinct, trying to prevent police from coming back. you can see the chain link fence

and barrier. they have cordoned off a six-block area here and what protesters are telling us they're not going anywhere. >> what do we want? [ crowd chanting ] >> reporter: for the fourth day protesters surrounding the sixth precinct which police abandoned monday and boarded up after days of clashes with protesters. have you ever heard of police abandoning a police precinct? >> no, not on purpose. >> reporter: now graffiti and signs with slogans like seattle people department, and property of the people, it's become known as the c.h.a.z., capitol hill autonomous zone. >> this building is the people's. we pay for it with our taxes. we want to make sure it's being used for the right things. >> reporter: demonstrators setting up their own barricades, and there's a clinic, co-op and free food. >> we'll continue to peacefully demonstrate and protest the excessive use of police violence to defund the police and release the protesters that have been arrested. >> reporter: how long does it last for, until you get your demands?

>> we'll see. >> reporter: president trump blasting governor jay inslee and seattle mayor jenny durkan for their response saying, take back your city. if you don't, i will. but on thursday, the mayor firing back. >> one of the things this president will never understand is that listening to the community is not a weakness. it is a strength. >> reporter: the governor tweeting he will not allow threats of military violence from the white house but this morning there are cracks in the guard around the precinct. >> i feel like it's been hijacked. the message is totally gone on why we were protesting in the first place. i want our movement back. >> reporter: the police chief accompanied by several officers walking into the precinct for the first time in days. >> the command for us to leave was so quick we weren't able to even get our equipment out. >> reporter: now we have seen

here for a couple hours. we asked people how long they plan to be here. they said it could be days. we asked what do they want? they want everyone arrested in the protest released and they want the police precinct turned into a community center. amy? >> all right, matt. thank you. joining us now for an exclusive interview is seattle's police chief, carmen best. chief best, thanks for being here. this was not your decision to abandon an entire precinct and you're angry about how this happened. how did this happen? >> good morning, amy. and thank you for having me. i am very angry about the situation that we have and at this point we just want to make sure it gets resolved. we did not for clarification abandon the precinct. but we did have to remove some personnel for a short period of time, and then it became unsafe, and you've seen the pictures and the photos of what's going on for us to safely put our officers back in there. we're currently working to get our officers back into the facility.

we think it's really important that we have police presence there, and that we're able to continue to do our work. so again, we did not abandon the precinct. >> president trump is blasting your mayor and your governor. he is tweeting that domestic terrorists have taken over seattle. is that an accurate depiction of what's happening in your city? >> well, we definitely have some folks who have posted themselves outside the precinct in about a four-block radius around it. but, you know, i don't get involved in the politics. i let the politicians do all that. i'm just concerned about making sure that i'm able to get my officers back into the precinct so that they can respond to calls for service. we need to have officers responding to calls in a timely fashion and with the occupation, that is taking place, we're not able to do so in a timely way. it's taking us three times the amount of time for priority one calls in the area and almost an hour for priority two calls. >> that leads me to my next question. protesters are declaring this an autonomous zone free of police.

do you consider it to be a dangerous situation and, if so, how? >> well, of course, i think that officers need to be able to function and perform from the precinct. it makes only good sense that we're able to do our job effectively, and this -- while i really support first amendment free speech, this is not that. and we need to make sure that we are working to get officers back in, and to peacefully resolve any of the issues that are outstanding at this time. >> your department has come under fire, as have so many departments around this country, for using excessive force. you and the mayor have apologized for using tear gas against protesters peacefully protesting. do you understand the anger these protesters have against police right now, and how do you resolve that? >> yeah, well, we know people -- they made it clear they are concerned about the use of tear gas or cs. and so we are really limiting its use, and we had suspended the use of it for 30 days while we evaluate where we are, what

makes sense. and the only way that it will be used -- the only exemption, that is, if it's a life safety situation and then the determination can be made only with my approval. so we want to make sure that we are responsive to the community concerns and community needs and so it's really important that we're listening and that we're having a dialogue and figuring out what we can do to both keep people safe but make sure we incorporate the community expectations and modulate our response and make sure it's reasonable and necessary and proportionate to what we're addressing. >> chief carmen best, we appreciate your time this morning. thank you for being with us. >> great. thank you for having me. >> t.j.? let's turn to new developments in the breonna taylor killing. the 26-year-old health care worker shot to death during a police raid of her home in march. the mayor of louisville saying he will now sign a lawyer that bears her name, quote, as soon as it hits my desk. a large of crowd of protesters outside city hall celebrating the news of that.

this law would ban the no-knock warrants. this is the type that led to taylor's death. the law also requires officers to turn on their body cameras at least five minutes before executing any type of warrant. want to turn now to other video sparking outrage this morning. chicago police officers and supervisors, you're seeing them here, lounging, lounging around a congressman's office. they're doing this as looting is happening just yards away from them. an internal investigation is under way this morning. our stephanie ramos joins us now with the latest. good morning to you, stephanie. this does not look good. >> reporter: not at all, t.j. this new surveillance video shows more than a dozen chicago police officers resting inside that campaign office for congressman bobby rush earlier this month during the height of violent clashes. in the video you see officers and supervisors relaxing, even lying down while a nearby shopping plaza was reportedly being looted. now, according to officials, the officers initially responded to a burglar alarm at the office and then remained on site for up

to five hours. police union leaders telling our chicago station wls that the officers were asked to protect r and that the officers were told to make themselves at home. but rush's office says that is not true. rush taking the video straight to the mayor. she's calling the officers' actions an embarrassment. chicago police have now opened an internal investigation into that incident. whit? >> all right, stephanie, thanks so much. we turn to washington and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the nation's top military official, general mark milley, publicly apologizing for appearing with president trump at that the photo-op near the white house after peaceful protesters were forcibly cleared from the area. here's what he had to say. listen. >> i should not have been there. my presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics. as a commissioned uniformed officer, it was a mistake that i

have learned from, and i sincerely hope we all can learn from it. >> you heard milley calling it a mistake. let's bring in senior congressional correspondent mary bruce with more on the reaction to the general's apology. mary, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. well, we have learned that the chairman of the joint chiefs was so upset by what happened right here last week that he considered resigning, but opted instead to deliver this really remarkable apology. now, you'll recall that milley was right here in lafayette park walking with the president and his advisers to that photo-op in his full battle uniform minutes after those peaceful protesters had been forcibly cleared from the area, and now milley flatly admits he should not have been there. it comes as we have seen this growing chorus of some of the nation's most respected military officers condemning those actions against protesters and it is only likely to add to tension between the white house and the pentagon.

>> and, mary, we know that the president is eager to get back on the campaign trail planning to hold a rally next week in tulsa, but we're also learning that people who attend must first sign off on a liability waiver acknowledging the inherent risk of exposure to covid-19. what's this about? >> reporter: yeah, whit. this is the first time i've ever seen a campaign rally that requires a medical/legal waiver. if you look at the fine print when attendees sign up they have to acknowledge there is an inherent risk to exposure to covid-19 and agree not to hold the campaign liable. they have to agree essentially not to sue. the campaign says there will be safety precautions in place, but they have yet to outline any specifics or put forth any social guidance -- guidelines for what could be a massive campaign rally, whit. >> they're saying you can attend but you can't sue. mary bruce for us, thank you so much. we appreciate it. we are following a lot of other headlines this morning. top cable tv show, "live pd" canceled because critics say it glorified police violence.

dan abrams host of the top-rated "live pd" joins us live. a "gma" exclusive. could this germ-zapping robot be the key to killing the coronavirus in your hotel rooms, subways and buses. first to ginger with flash flooding on the way. >> reporter: yes, 4.6 inches of rain in just one hour. that's what they had in durham, north carolina. parts of the triangle had close to a half foot, and this front will sag to the south so coastal south carolina, down through parts of georgia under some sort of flood watch right now this. is going to go through early weekend. even far northeastern florida. watch for some totals this weekend to be somewhere between three and five inches and can happen in an hour and that will try to bubble back north. let's get to the weekend forecast now sponsored by caesars rewards.

governor tweeting, take back your city. if you don't, i will. a new abc news poll with ipsos finds that only about a third of americans support the movement to defund the police. those responses reveal a racial divide of nearly 30%. and big news for a longtime member of the "gma" family, jack hanna is retiring from the columbus zoo and aquarium after 42 years on the job. his appearances on "gma" gave us some of our all-time greatest moments. he introduced us to so many animals with great joy. the 73-year-old hanna plans to spend more time with his family. all our best to you, jack. his passion was infectious. >> so many great moments with jack. we wish him the very best. we begin though with the cancellation of two popular police reality shows. as the protests against police brutality and excessive force continue to rock the nation, the long-running series "cops" and now the top cable show, "live pd," are both being pulled from the airwaves.

we'll talk with abc chief legal analyst dan abrams, the host and producer of "live pd" in just a moment. but first steve osunsami has the story. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, amy. these police programs are immensely popular but for all of their success in the ratings, many black americans in particular have concerns about the overrepresentation of black suspects and other issues. ♪ bad boys >> reporter: for more than three decades police officers on the hit show "cops" have been entertaining americans with high-speed chase, police arrests and signature songs. drug busts, alleged drunk drivers all arrested on camera and reaching massive audiences. at its peak in the '90s "cops" was pulling in nearly 8 million viewers an episode, but times have changed. and on tuesday the paramount network decided the show was being canceled. protests that have filled american streets in response to the death of george floyd in police custody have television executives seeing the show in a

different light. the long complaint is that the supposed hero police officers on the program are seen too often tracking down and arresting black americans. and to some it feels like sport. >> well, it depicted black communities as folks that needed to be controlled. >> reporter: rashad robinson is president of color of change and in 2013 they convinced executives at fox network to pull the show from the air after 25 seasons. it then moved on to syndication. >> they went into some of the most targeted, most exploited communities and brought camera and put people on display and then they made profit off of it without ever having to be accountable. >> reporter: and now "live pd," like "cops," it was hugely popular. the highest rated show on a&e thnetwork is saying the show will end. in a statement a&e responded to the news saying going forward we will determine if there is a clear pathway to tell the stories of both the community and the police officers whose role it is to serve them. the show ran for three hours every friday and saturday night

with live cameras set up with police departments across the country. of them last year who told us ne that the program made his officers local stars and helped improve relations with his community. >> i just know that people needed to see what we see every day, not just a snapshot, but actually see the funny stuff, the dangerous stuff. >> reporter: the show took fire this week after it was revealed that their cameras were present during this deadly arrest last year in austin. seen here in this police body camera video. >> freeze. >> reporter: the show was on hiatus and never aired it. television executives are re-evaluating their commitment to this kind of programming. >> this is a watershed moment for networks and for tv craride that tv about police plays in the way americans understand the role of police in everyday life. >> reporter: there are many black families in this country

who will not let their children watch these programs because they're afraid of their kids growing up socialized to see black people in these awful situations. t.j.? >> all right, steve, thank you so much. i want to bring in host and producer of "live pd," dan abrams, also our abc news chief legal correspondent, also a friend of our show here at "gma." let me get your response to what steve just said. you're in charge of a show, the host of a show that a lot of black families in this country don't want their kids to see. what is your reaction to hearing something like that? >> so, i think you really need to distinguish "cops" from "live pd." "cops" was a show that provided a highlight reel of amazing moments that happened in policing. and, you know, there were a lot of complaints about "cops" over the years. i have to tell you we didn't get a lot of those same complaints. why? because we were live. we were showing the beginning, the middle and the end of the story. we had a really diverse group of

police officers who were out there doing the hard work that police officers do every day. but, look, we also have to accept this is a new time and what i had been hoping was that "live pd" could have become a great venue for a national discussion and actually action, actually see change implemented. >> dan, it's called "live pd." it's not exactly live. there is a delay. how long is the delay? >> so, the delay ranges from anywhere from a few minutes to, let's say, 25 minutes or so and the reason for that is because we're following police officers and there are real people involve who are disclosing social security numbers and personal information. there are occasionally undercover officers involved where we have to address that sort of issue. there's a child in the shot. someone makes an allegation against someone else that can't possibly go on television. so the delay is there to protect the privacy of individuals

involved and to just try to adhere to a certain set of standards to ensure that nothing goes out on tv that shouldn't. >> dan, clear up for us because it's out there that the contracts allow the police, they allowed the police to have some discretion over what actually went on the air. is that the case? >> yeah, they do have some input meaning it there is a confidential informant involved, if there is a security issue the police can absolutely weigh in and say, hey, wait a sec, that's a confidential informant, that can't go on the air but in the end it was the "live pd" producers who had the final say. it was not the -- there were a lot of times when departments because they're watching it without the delay would say, oh, no, you guys really going to put that on? and the answer was, yeah, that's going to go on, sorry. but it's going to air and whether it is a positive or not and that was one of the things i really loved about "live pd" is

there was a really positive side to what you saw about what officers do every day and yet there are some questions about what officers did as well. >> in the javier ambler case, you have policy you all don' want to hold on to this -- these videos because you don't want to be seen as an arm of helping police and we understand that. why did a black man dying after a police interaction that you had on video not rise to the level of being above policy? >> well, look, i think there should have been an exception to the rule. i think it's a fair question and i think that we probably got a little too caught up in the standards and didn't apply a different one here, and should have. and it's one of the things that we were discussing when the show was canceled was how do we make sure that while our policy is coming from a good place of not wanting to serve as a video repository for police, or

lawyers, or whoever the case may be. there should be more exceptions and this should have been one and i have to tell you it breaks my heart that, you know, when i see the family of javier ambler talking about this case, talking about the fact that they wished that this video existed, it's heartbreaking. i am relieved that there's body cam of footage of the incident which has told that story and which served as the heart of the investigation. but that doesn't mean that we couldn't have also provided video if it still exists. >> like you said, dan, you've accepted we're in a different time with some of these shows and that debate will continue and we'll see what police shows might end up on the air after this. i know this was your baby and it's been canceled but we appreciate you, as always. good seeing you and always a friend of our show here at "gma." thanks so much, dan. >> thanks, t.j. all right, t.j., coming up next, a "gma" exclusive, the germ-zapping robots now sani rms like the beverly hilton. could they be the key to cleaning subways and buses and ur sereepis all safe?supermarket keeping us all

>> these incredibly intense bursts and microorganisms like the covid-19 virus, they simply are defenseless. >> reporter: a recent study found the robot using man-made uv light was able to kill 99.99% of the virus that causes covid-19 in two minutes at close range. now this technology used in hospitals for decades is emerging into other markets like the hospitality industry. even here, this room looks familiar. >> you've seen this room for the golden globes. >> we know that the rooms, meeting spaces, ballrooms will be almost as sanitized as an operating room. >> reporter: this is the new standard. yes. we still need the physical sanitizing. our teams will do that work as well and the robots will follow them out. >> reporter: movie studios are interested too. >> we know our robot won't fade the materials and will be effective in reducing the amount of potential contamination on costumes and props. >> reporter: ihd hotel chain including popular brands like holiday inn tell abc they too

are using uv lamps as part of the cleaning process like at this crowne plaza in white plains, new york. similar technology is already at work disinfecting malls in singapore, subway cars in new york city. even amazon's robotics team is testing their own uv light robot in a whole foods store. >> i for myself have seen them used in hospitals and work and help kill viruses and bacteria. that being said i have some real concerns about it. uv light is harmful to humans over prolonged exposure or accidental exposure and can cause eye injury that leads to loss of vision or blindness and can cause skin cancer and disrupt the skin. >> reporter: experts say only trained operators should use the devices. this will automatically turn the robot off before somebody actually enters. it will sense that motion. >> uv light shouldn't be use rad lone. it's actually no substitute for using masks and for physical distancing. >> reporter: multiple studies have shown that the virus can survive for days on some hard surfaces.

but the cdc says it's most likely you can track the virus from person-to-person transmission and this robot can't help with that. >> and, kaylee, we heard the concerns from the doctor there. any residual effect of using uv light in this way? >> reporter: none, whit. this light is like a flashlight. when you turn it off there are no residual particles. >> all right, kaylee, thanks so much. we'll be right back. it's what we've always said makes subaru, subaru. and right now, love is more important than ever. in response to covid-19, subaru and our retailers are donating fifty million meals to feeding america, to help feed those who now need our help. its all part of our commitment to our communities through subaru loves to help. love, it's what makes subaru, subaru. tomorrow can only be better with wendy's breakfast. win with a breakfast baconator, honey butter chicken biscuit, sausage egg and swiss croissant

"the bachelor" a ratings hit since its premiere nearly two decades ago. >> will you marry me? >> yes. >> reporter: but throughout its 18-year history, one thing has franchise has ever been a black man, and that has not gone

unnoticed, called out by fans and former stars of the series. >> especially when you break down the number, 40 season, 18 years, one lead of color. >> reporter: the bachelorette's rachel lindsay the only black person in 40 seasons to ever have one season devoted to her has been a vocal critic of the show since appearing, saying it's long past due for a diversity makeover. >> i was hoping when i came on to be a trail blazer for that and to increase diversity in the audience that watches it but in the last three years, there really haven't been changes made. >> reporter: the show's lack of diversity has been called out before including recently in a change.org petition with nearly 85,000 signatures. now the show is attempting to turn the page announcing that at long last a black man will lead the franchise choosing 28-year-old matt james, originally cast as a suitor on bachelorette clair's current season, james is also pals with famous "bachelor" alums tyler cameron and hannah brown. rachel lindsay says while picking james is a start there's still much more work to be done. >> i want producers of color and

would like to cast leads that are interested in dating outside of their race and aren't just getting their first-time experience for the first time on national tv. i need the acknowledgment of that, not putting a band-aid over the situation and saying, here, we'll put this here. are you happy now? >> reporter: so with james at the helm, the question, will this be a true turning point for the franchise, one where inclusion and diversity are made of priority. >> will you accept this rose? >> absolutely. >> reporter: the president of abc entertainment promising this is just the beginning saying we know we have a responsibility to make sure the love stories we're seeing on screen are representative of the world we live in and we will continue to take action with regard to diversity issues on this franchise. we feel so privileged to have matt as our first black bachelor and we cannot wait to embark on this journey with him. and former bachelor sean lowe who's been critical of the show's lack of diversity says in addition to a black bachelor they need to cast more black men

in "the bachelorette." saying, at this point there seems to be maybe three men out of a group of 25, amy. >> all right, janai. thank you so much. gsswh? we are very excited. the new bachelor, matt james joins us now. matt, congratulations. and you really know how to keep a secret because apparently your mom is finding out with the rest of america that you're the bachelor so what do you think her reaction is going to be? >> she's going to be excited. you know, it's hard for her to keep a secret so i had to keep it super tight and she's finding out which is a fun way for everybody to participate. >> did you just call your momma out and say i couldn't tell my momma because she can't be quiet? did you just do that, matt? >> hey, one thing i try to do is keep it real and i'm an authentic person. if i said anything else then i would be lying. so i'll be a truthful person. >> then your reaction to getting the call, what went through your mind first when you got the call

to be the guy? >> so my first reaction was, does this mean i don't get -- i don't get to meet clare because i was looking forward to meeting her. i had set aside all this time and we had gone out to california and been called back with quarantine so i'm super excited for her and her season but i'm looking forward to meeting her eventually. >> tell her we got a bunch of clairs now. >> right. we heard from rachel, matt, about talking about the lack of diversity, of course, in "the bachelor." do you think that this is a signal that there will be not just a change but a lasting change? >> well, i think it's a step in the right direction. when rachel speaks, we listen. she has a very important voice in all this being the first black woman, person of color to have a lead. so i think that we're all following suit in that coers is e rst of my black men to be in the position i'm in right now.

>> rachel, i watched. she is the only season i watched. i paid attention and she's a friend now and been texting, talking about you this morning actually, matt. part of the discussion has been is this too little too late? this has been talked about for a long time. now why now? maybe we have the answer to that or can assume but does it feel a little too little too late? >> you know, my opinion, i don't think it's ever the wrong time to -- i don't think it's ever the wrong time to do the right thing so too little too late for me is this happening and we can't have change until you put that first foot forward and that first foot forward for "the bachelor" franchise is having a black lead so excited to take on that role. >> matt, do you feel any pressure being the first black man to be a bachelor at this point? >> i think -- it's an honor, you know, i'm just going to lean into myself and how my mom raised me and hopefully when people invite me into their homes on monday night they'll see i'm not much different than them and see diverse love stories are >> i think you hit on what i was going to bring up here. people can be dismissive.

right? it's a reality show. it's "the bachelor." it's ridiculous, and all these things. it's kind of a guilty pleasure, if you will. we're not supposed to necessarily take that seriously in the grand scheme of things but still it can be relevant, don't you think, to have you, your story to be out there, to be highlighted in such a way? >> 100% because i think a lot of people are in that situation where they're uncomfortable dating outside their race or they're uncomfortable being in that position. they -- it's a conversation starter for a lot of people and hopefully again it paves the way for a lot of diverse love stories because those are beautiful story. >> matt, before we let you go, tell us about the women during the season. what qualities are you looking for and what do you hope is the end result? >> you know, fortunate for me, i'm looking for qualities that a lot -- that my mom embodies and that's selfless, honest, caring, compassionate and those are qualities found in women all

shapes, sizes and races and it's not a black or white thing so i'm hoping that when that limo puts up there is a lot of diversity and i see every type of woman coming out of that limo. >> that's great. we so appreciate you joining us today, matt. thank you. we wish you the very best. you mentioned clare. well, clare's season of "the bachelorette" will air this fall followed by matt's season of "the bachelor." very exciting stuff. ginger, i know you're going to be watching both. oh, you know i'll be there. especially now. all right. so how about we do a "gma" moment that you are all watching sponsored by verizon? this is nolan, and he turns 1 tomorrow. >> you can do it. >> nolan, nolan. nolan. >> he's got it. >> 30 seconds. >> feel the burn. >> that kid is holding a plank longer than i can and i say kid. he is a baby. he's not even 1 yet. nolan, i'm inspired. if you needed some friday workout motivation, take it from

organization launched by the former governor and abc news contributor chris christie along with his wife mary pat both joining us now. thank you for being with us. governor christie, we'll talk about your organization in a moment. but first i'd like to discuss the situation right now in this country, the unrest in the aftermath of the murder of george floyd. people are calling for police reform and calling for people to disband, defund the police department. you were governor when cam din d rebuilt it from the ground up. what do you think needs to happen in police departments across the country? >> very much the same thing, amy, i think needs to happen. what we did in camden was emphasize two thing, community policing and got police officers out of the cars on to bicycles, on foot. in the neighborhoods, second was the escalation training, watch word, first do no harm. force should be a last resort. what's happened in the last seven year, murder rate is down 80% and complaints by citizens

of excessive use of force by the police down 95% in a city 96% minority. it can be done and needs to be done across the entire country. >> those statistics are hard to argue with. now, as governor, you know that states across this country have taken misdemeanor different approaches to try and recover from covid-19. what do you think should be the model? what should be happening? what's working, what's not? >> i think what will work for the country is a balanced approach to be struck. we're not going to live risk-free in america unless and until there's a vaccine so we need to open up business, open up our institutions again and let people do the things that, you know, we see right there. wear mask, wash your hands on a regular basis, clean hard surface, socially distance with we can. all things that need to be done but we can't keep our country closed any longer because last month, amy, one statistic, the

biggest diagnosis in the month of may was mental health disorders. people need to get back to their lives. keeping it closed is costing lives as well. >> i know you have a background in finance, mary pat. what's the recipe to help the economy rebound as quickly an safely as possible? >> well, we have over 900,000 small businesses just in new jersey alone and i really think the small business community is the lifeblood of our economy. and so we really need to help those people get up and started again which is why we're starting this new jersey 30-day fund and, you know, we appreciate the opportunity to do it and hope we can help as many people as possible. oe' giving out your organization $3,000 forgivable loans to small businesses. people that employ folks and these are businesses that have fallen through the cracks. so our organization has a

website, the nj30dayfund.com and accepting donations and starting the organization with the seed money of $100,000. chris and i are donating that and hoping to give as much of it out quickly. >> i know the inspiration to begin this organization is a personal one. can you tell us about it? >> sure. my niece actually and her husband experienced a donation like this to their small marketing company in virginia and one of the hallmarks of our organization is that if you can get up on your feet and pay back the $3,000 loan, then you will and then we'll give it to another deserving business. so my niece and her husband were actually the first ones in virginia to give back their $3,000 loan. so she called me and said, i think you and chris should do this in new jersey. it sounds like a great opportunity and since you and chris did such a great job after hurricane sandy we think it's

something you guys can run with. >> we were thrilled to do it. >> so many people just need that bridge to get through this tough time. we certainly appreciate all of your effort, governor christie, mary pat, thank you for being with us today. >> thanks for having us, amy. really appreciate it. >> we'll head over to ginger d, y, iee pictures from my mother-in-law in tucson, arizona, of this, the big horn fire now more than 6200 acres burning and you've got 10% contained so that fire and the fire danger is really pretty high. some folks are already evacuated. my in-laws on preevacuation. watching that and east of san diego, you had a fire there. they've gotten that slightly more under control but watch what's happening. it's really not great. fire conditionwise, nevada, utah, northern arizona, all with red flag warnings. they go into colorado, even north texas because of a front that's going to pass through and
