7:02 am
good morning. the number of coronavirus cases in the u.s. is approaching 5 million, far more than any other country. >> 26 states plus washington, d.c., and puerto rico reporting daily increases in deaths even as the rise in cases in the u.s. this summer appears to be slowing. >> now 18 states say hospitalizations are actually going down. so some encouraging news there as that eases the burden on the health care system. more on that in a moment, but first to the relief that may be coming for unemployed americans hit hard by the pandemic, struggling to make ends meet. we go to abc's rachel scott in bedminster, new jersey for more on president trump's executive actions. rachel, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. president trump taking matters into his own hands, sidestepping congress on coronavirus relief, setting up the stage for potential legal battle. overnight, president trump said he's had enough. >> therefore i'm taking executive action, we've had it.
7:03 am
>> reporter: pushing to bypass congress with a stroke of his pen. taking to the podium at his private golf club to announce executive action on coronavirus re unemployment benefits, but slashing the weekly checks to $400, requesting states share the cost. minimizing evictions, suspending interest on student loans and enacting payroll tax cuts. president trump placing the blame on democrats after both parties failed to reach a deal. >> nancy pelosi and chuck schumer chose to hold this vital assistance hostage. on behalf of very extreme partisan demands. >> reporter: house democrats passed a $3 trillion stimulus package back in may and offered to meet republicans halfway, but the white house called it a nonstarter. >> we're not just keep coming back every day if we can't get to a deal. >> reporter: this is one of 30
7:04 am
million americans out of work and in need of relief. >> there's absolute urgency i need the money now. it's going to be really tight at the end of the month if we don't get that stimulus going again. >> reporter: with the president's executive action, that crucial aid could be tied up in court for months, congress not the president controls federal spending. >> when this relief gets in the hands of americans, what date? >> we think it's rapid. it will be distributed in a way, whatever the faster ways. there are various methods and it will be rapidly distributed. >> you're signing executive order, they want to know when they're going to see this relief. >> very soon. >> 30 million americans are out of work, sir. >> excuse me, there it is right there. >> reporter: house speaker nancy pelosi and democratic leader chuck schumer are calling the president's executive actions here weak and narrow saying it does nothing to increase testing or help reopen schools and if the president was serious about wanting to help americans, he
7:05 am
would return to the negotiating table. dan? >> rachel scott challenging the president. thank you. let's bring in our chief anchor george stephanopoulos who will hosting "this week" this morning right here on abc news. george, good morning. these executive orders smart politics it makes the president makes him taking action or a problem here potentially when americans don't get relief quickly? >> rachel did some good questioning of the president right there. one executive order, the others are presidential memoranda that he signed. there are real questions about whether or not the president can spend the money, that congress has not allocated for these purposes, whether anything can happen quickly. i think this is designed to put pressure on the democrats to stay at the negotiating table and make more compromises. democrats as you saw in their response feel that they're in a fairly strong position right now, and they think that the pressure is going to be on the president to come back to the negotiating table, but the bottom line for people who are not getting their unemployment assistance right now, this is not going to happen any time fast.
7:06 am
>> you called this g chicken. ?or manans, this isa gaal >> the house passed a bill that was little more than$3 trillion about six weeks ago, the democrats say that they were willing to take a trillion dollars off their proposal, republicans saying they're just playing games with the numbers and they're not really cutting back with any of the demands they're making right now. one problem the republicans face, you got half of the republicans they're not going to vote for any extensions at all which is why the white house has been in a weaker negotiating position, why the president decided to go on his own. i have to tell you i have no idea where this is going to go in the coming days as the challenges mount to what the president did, and as people at home who are not getting their unemployment assistance are facing more pressure. >> to put a fine point on what
7:07 am
you said earlier, if you need the money unfortunately we don't have good or solid news. george, thank you very much. really appreciate it. i want to remind everybody to tune into george's show later this morning. on "this week" he'll be speaking to senate minority leader chuck schumer exclusively as talks on that relief package stall. plus, trump's top economic adviser larry kudlow. he responds to the relief executive action. thanks again. eva, over to you. now to the latest on the pandemic and the fears a massive ten-day motorcycle rally could cause a surge in cases, tens of thousands of bikers converging on the south dakota city of sturgis. >> reporter: well, good morning, eva. the sturgis motorcycle rally has been happening for 80 years, an annual tradition for thousands of people, but this year even harley-davidson is sending no corporate representatives because of the coronavirus pandemic. still, when you spend time among these crowds you would not know
7:08 am
a pandemic is unfolding and these bikers say it's their decision to act this way. this morning in spite of health officials' warning against major gatherings, south dakota is riding into another day of the sturgis motorcycle rally. 250,000 bikers expected and for just about all of them, mask recommendations are being ignored. >> this is a celebration of freedom out here. for us to be bossing people around would be the antithesis of why we here. >> reporter: wisconsin reported a new record high case total saturday, illinois hit 2,000 cases with the governor saying many counties were at warning level and texas has extended its disaster declaration. >> they're not equipped, they don't have enough do >> reporter: harley garza is traveling across the country to texas to be with his critically ill father.
7:09 am
he's enraged at hopeople avoidi wearing masks. >> to see my dad go to someone laying in a hospital bed on his stomach, gasping on for air. >> reporter: in california, just as the state passed 10,000 deaths, officials uncovered a failure in the state's data system creating a massive backlog of cases that weren't recorded. >> we expect that over the next 24 to 48 hours, that the backlog that is between 250,300,000 records will be resolved. >> reporter: for some schools, the impact of in-person learning has been immediate. in suburban atlanta, 260 students and 8 teachers are in quarantine after the first week of class for cherokee county schools with positive cases in at least 11 students and 2 staff members. >> it doesn't seem like a great number. when the number could have been zero, had, you know, better precautions been put into place, had we all started digital.
7:10 am
>> reporter: in a letter provided by a parent to abc news saturday, we learned just photos -- days after this photo of packed students in north paulding high school went viral, nine people, six students and three staff who were at the school last week have since t t tested positive for the coronavirus. and in college athletics, some major dominos are starting to fall. the big sky conference has decided to move their football season to the spring and m.a.c. has voted to postpone all of their fall sports, including football. whit? >> really seeing those challenges with sports and school getting back into session. trevor ault for us in sturgis. thank you so much. the coronavirus crisis is also playing out on the southwest border. it's been closed because of a cdc public health order since march, but the number of people apprehended there has been rising steadily while activists accuse the trump administration of expelling them without due process. joining us now is ken cuccinelli, the acting deputy secretary of homeland security.
7:11 am
mr. cuccinelli, thank you so much for your time this morning. i want to jump right to it. >> good morning. some of the people being turned away as part of these rapid expulsions include children, infants as young as 8 months old, does the united states have the moral or a legal obligation to hear these asylum claims even during a pandemic? >> so, the asylum system is still up but we're operating under the cdc's public health order from mid-march. this has been the case for a number of months now and families, of course, are kept together and they are turned over, 80% to your point about the rapid return are now returned in under two hours, they don't come through our facilities. they can and they do make for instance what are called claims, torture claims, those do come to the border patrol facilities and
7:12 am
those are adjudicated by uscis officers. the others go straight back to mexico. mexico has been very accommodating in terms of that, and we have set up with mexico for a year and a half now, what's called the mpp, the migrant protection protocols and people who are awaiting asylum hearings wait in mexico as opposed to being released into the united states. that's the point of that program. it does not end the treatment of asyl asylum, but it changes where they wait, and they wait in mexico. >> this is a hot-button issue, strong opinions on all sides. critics argue that there's more politics than public health. when this pandemic is over, and that public health emergency is done, will the asylum process go back to normal, can you promise that today? >> well, when there's -- when we're not operating around public health order and we can safely conduct all of these processes, absolutely.
7:13 am
and in fact, we're looking at ways to do some of these processes virtually from mexico trying to get those setups so we can get people hearings faster so we can get this process going even before the pandemic ends, which is our goal. we think it's in everybody's interest to move forward as efficiently and quickly as we can, of course, we have to balance that with the public safety aspect of the covid pandemic. >> i do want to turn to another topic which is tiktok, and president trump's decision to ban the chinese-owned video sharing app. so many of these apps collect personal data on their users. what makes tiktok so much more dangerous in the eyes of the administration than say, google, facebook and others? >> so tiktok is owned by a chinese company and the laws the communist party have put in place require those companies to
7:14 am
share information on demand, no warrants, none of the kind of protections you would see in the united states, with the chinese communist government there, and that is a major security concern. if the chinese owner were to divest the foreign partners with say microsoft, then that obligation for the company operating in the united states would go away. so there's a major concern here, and as you noted, this is an unusual product or service in that it collects an awful lot of personal information including beyond just the users. the users pile in other information of other folks as well. >> forgive me because we're running out of time. a quick follow-up question, tiktok is threatening to sue the administration this week, as this legal process plays out, what do you tell parents, you're a parent. i have kids at home. should parents go out and delete this app on their kids' phones
7:15 am
and devices? >> i've actually had that conversation in my house. i've let my kids know what they're dealing with and so my preference as a parent and that they do more listening and viewing than posting if you will, and i mean that's one way to be passive about it, and still protect the information. you know, the problem is, it happens on a mass scale. it suspect one particular kid or one particular person. it's the existence in the united states of a multimillion-person data collection effort that the essentially the spy agencies and the military of communist china can tap into. so it's really more of a meta problem on any given day. so hopefully there will be a positive constructive free market solution to this, but the president is well within his
7:16 am
authority to take the step he is to protect the united states, and, you know, india already banned tiktok as well. we're not the only country in the world that has this concern but we have a president obviously who's willing to take action which i think is somewhat unique from our america's history recently. >> definitely a process to be played out in the coming days. mr. cuccinelli, thank you so much for your time this morning. we appreciate it. >> have a great day. thank you, whit. we head overseas now to beirut where there were huge protests overnight. demonstrators calling for the government to quit, accusing them of negligence that led to the deadly explosion there on tuesday. abc's julia macfarlane is there from our london bureau. julia, good morning to you. >> reporter: last night, thousands of people gathered in beirut in anger and frustration at the government, groups of people storming ministry buildings some were carrying nooses and banners saying,
7:17 am
resign or hang. for the lebanese, this tragic explosion is emblematic of the government mismanagement. lebanon suffers acutely from corruption. the prime minister last night announced he intended to hold early elections. but lebanese want more, they want an end to the old system. news this morning that the information minister has now handed in her resignation. >> beirut is a city that has seen so much trauma over the decades. in the meantime, there are hundreds of thousands of people there who have been made homeless. huge damage. what's the latest on international aid efforts to help rebuild? >> reporter: so president trump has announced he is joining an international aid summit for lebanon this afternoon hosted by french president emanuel macron.
7:18 am
he has stated that everyone wants to help. now it's hope that international aid that will only help fund reconstruction efforts and profound political reform. meanwhile, in the meantime this morning, new pictures have emerged. these appear to confirm that the warehouse located at the port was storing that deadly ammonium nitrate and that it had been placed there several years ago. eva? >> all right, julia mcfar lane for us. thank you. let's switch gears now and turn to the weather and rob marciano. the big question this morning, where is rob? did he find a razor? >> no. i'm not going to tell you where i'm. i'm in new york somewhere at a friend's apartment in day three of isolation after coming back from the hurricane zone. several states i was in were covid hot spots. we're taking our time sliding back into things and getting tested today. check out this shot or what's happening across the midwest, severe weather yesterday with isolated large hail and damaging winds today.

i know where my razor is and i may or may not have showered. >> rob, thank you so much. he also replaced the mini bar with the monitor this morning. >> yes, yes. >> baby steps. we want to turn now to 20-year-old nascar driver who's living out his childhood dream and providing inspiration to anyone whose life has been touched by autism and janai is here with more on that story. janai, good morning. >> reporter: hey, guys. this one will keep you smiling. armani williams is getting behind the wheel in his first post-covid race. today hoping to raise awareness about autism while doing what he loves. >> from grosse point, michigan, armani williams. >> reporter: odds. 20-year-old armani williams is racing towards his dreams. >> autism can be a strength. >> reporter: as the first nascar
7:21 am
driver with autism, williams is embracing his condition and encouraging others to pursue their passion. >> reporter: just because you have autism, don't let you back down you from your dreams. if you have a dream that you want to be good at, go for it. today's big race, his biggest fan -- his father -- is right by his side. >> he's always been an incredibly courageous kid. making it in a challenging sport, going through his challenges of autism. i learned to never give up on dreams, to always take challenges head-on. >> i just needed the opportunity to show them that i am capable of being a race car driver and i have the ability to be successful at it. i just love every minute and every second of it in >> andrmani sa hlln love with racing as a kid. he grew up playing with hot wheels cars. once he found nascar, he knew he wanted to be a professional racer. over to you.
