7:09 am
given what the state is going through right now, is it too soon to even start that conversation about reopening bars? flis stiy much over the last few days it looks like it might be peaking, but it is many, many weeks away from getting to a point where it can even think about bars. there are two thoughts i have. if they think about opening up bars and they open up bars now, they're basically saying good-bye to schools for all the fall because the caseloads will be too high. second, in this pandemic, it's not clear to me if we can open bars safely anywhere in our country, but certainly not in the hot spots. >> you mentioned schools, the school year is just weeks away in some places. this week, the cdc issued new guidance for reopening schools, and they're really stressing the importance of in-classroom instruction essentially saying the benefits outweigh the risks. what are your key takeaways from this latest round of guidance? >> yeah, you know, as a dad of
7:10 am
three kids, i'll tell you, i understand the importance of in-class instruction, and we all do. i thought that guidance from cdc was actually not very helpful because they just said, schools are important. i think we all get that, but the question is how do we get kids back to school safely? and i think there's a lot more confusion, but the science and data is pretty clear, in hot spots it's not going to be easy to open up schools, so we've got to bring the level of the virus down if we're going to open up safely for our kids. >> you mentioned those hot spots. what needs to happen in those places? we've seen a slight leveling off. is that enough to get kids back in the classroom? >> unfortunately, nowhere near enough. actually, and if the states really wanted to figure out what to do, they could just listen to the secret documents that were leaked from the white house. the white house has actually been giving some good guidance, unfortunately all in secret. i wish they would make it open, and basically what the white house is saying is, shut down the bars. shut down indoor gatherings.
7:11 am
shut down indoor dining, wear masks, everybody, and you have a chance of opening up schools later in the fall, but if you don't do those things, you really are giving up on the kids. >> i want to get to testing here because we're hearing some reports of people waiting 16, 17, 18, 19 days for results. i had a test here in new york. it took 13 days and we're not even experiencing a surge right now. nearly six months into the pandemic in the u.s., where's this failure still occurring and how do we fix it? >> yeah, you know, the administration has never taken testing seriously and these are, you know, national supply chain issues. this is not something every state can fix by itself. as you mentioned, you can have plenty of tests available in new york, but you may not get results for two weeks, so it's borderline useless. i wish we built a testing infrastructure from the beginning. at this point, the testing system is so badly strained that i'm worried that things are going to get much worse before they get better. >> they've got to do something if we want to get schools open
7:12 am
soon. >> absolutely. >> all right, thank you so much dr. jha. we always appreciate it. eva, over to you. now to the violent protests breaking out overnight in cities across america. one of them turning deadly, and in another authorities firing off tear gas. abc's janai norman has more. >> reporter: overnight, chaos in the streets has multiple it ssh ring out in austin, texas. one man shot and killed during a black lives matter protest, an apparently peaceful march turning deadly. >> initial reports independent kite the victim may have been carrying a rifle and approached suspect vehicle. suspect was in the vehicle and shot at the victim. suspect was detained and is cooperating with officers. >> reporter: the mother of the shooting victim speaking exclusively with abc offering a different account. she said her son was pushing her girlfriend's wheelchair when the fatal incident happened. >> he was pushing whitney through an intersection, and this gentleman got out of his car and started firing shots,
7:13 am
and my son was shot, three times. >> reporter: and the violence spreading to other cities -- in seattle, protesters setting fire to a youth detention center. watch as firefighters rush to tackle the flames yesterday afternoon as they raged throughout the construction site. officers later declaring the protest a riot as around 2,000 people gathered in the downtown area. law enforcement deploying tear gas. all of it happening just hours after a federal judge temporarily blocked a new law banning cops from using pepper spray and other crowd control tools. and in portland, nearly 60 days of protests. police once again clashing with racial equality. in colorado, a protest for elijah mcclain turning violent in aurora. police are saying a car drove into a group of protesters. one of the marchers firing off a shot. mcclain, an unarmed black man

died while being subdued by police last summer. no one was seriously injured in that shooting at the protest in colorado, but it's been weeks since we've seen protests like this turn violent. in multiple cities around the country. as we have this weekend. all this comes as the trump administration is vowing to send federal agents to more cities around the country. dan? >> janai, thank you. we're now t-minus 100 days until the election. if president trump has his way, these protests are likely to figure prominently in the campaign. let's go to bedminster where the president is spending this weekend, and abc's andrew dymburt is right there. andrew, good morning to you. >> reporter: and good morning, dan. today the president is wrapping up his weekend golf getaway, and as the election nears both trump and biden are looking to gain ground in critical battleground states. president trump with a rough road to re-election, spending the weekend at his golf course in bedminster, new jersey, seen with hall of fame green bay

packers quarterback, brett favre, but from the course to the campaign, democrats are showing signs of outpacing republicans in mail-in voting requests as pandemic conditions continue to sweep the nation. trump's team meanwhile is zeroing in on key battleground states like arizona, florida and michigan. abc news has learned the campaign plans to open voter outreach centers in communities of color, areas that have been disproportionately impacted by covid-19. the president facing criticism for his handling of the pandemic, polls show his opponent joe biden with a double-digit lead. and while trump golfs, gridlock grapples washington, d.c. questions loom about economic relief. those $600 supplemental unemployment benefits run out this week. the trump administration wants those payments to continue, but -- >> we're not going to use taxpayer money to pay people more to stay home. so we're going to transition to a ui system that's based upon wage replacement. we've talked about approximately
7:16 am
70% wage replacement. >> reporter: treasury secretary steve mnuchin and white house chief of staff mark meadows on capitol hill over the weekend meeting with senate majority leader mitch mcconnell's staff. while democrats have been railing on republicans for falling short on another federal leave pl relief plan. >> this is deadly serious. a house is burning down in terms of the economic security of america's families, and these people are fiddling wherever they may be this weekend. >> the president heads back to d.c. today, as do members of the senate who also took the weekend off from the nation's capital. as for that next stimulus proposal the gop plans to unveil their plan some time early this week. dan? >> many people hurting out there. andrew, thank you so much. and reminder. tune into "this week" later this morning, our chief anchor george stephanopoulos will have an exclusive interview with mark meadows, his first sunday show interview since taking that job. plus, george goes one-on-one with the governor of new mexico, another state where the president is deploying federal troops.

that's all coming up on "this week" later this morning right here on abc. time now for another check of the weather and rob marciano in corpus christi, texas, where they're still feeling the effects of hanna and they're also watching douglas in hawaii. >> that's right. i know how dear that state is to your heart. the islands may get hit later on today. certainly will have big impacts. douglas was a category 4 storm, and now category 1. it will hold that strength. we have tropical storms up for the island of maui, but it will get close enough to oahu and hawaii where those conditions are going downhill quickly today and intensifying tonight with strong winds, a damaging rough surf, dangerous as well of course, and rainfall up to 10 inches or more as well as
