can see maybe too early, maybe we should wait after the holidays. >> reporter: so it's a bit of a stop and start situation here in europe, as we see with the lifting of borders. the u.s. is actually taking a harder stand on this. there is still a u.s. ban on cruise ships. they updated it in the last few days, up to the end of october, and actually pre-covid times, more than half of cruise ship travelers are americans so this is really such a big thing for the industry. now, there will be at the peak of the pandemic, guys, you remember, more than 50 ships around the world that have the outbreaks so it's something they're worried about. what is interesting one point we spoke toment so of the people on that ship and they said they booked cruise ship holidays for future already and they're not put off by this. that's the silver lining for the industry because a lot of loyal customers are still booking those trips. guys? >> wow, that is surprising.

we do know that 12,000 workers among cruise ships worldwide remain on ships, even today in this day. tessa arsilia in brussels, thanks. first up on msnbc, the president's executive order, what he signed, whether it's legal and how will it impact your life? super spreader fears, after thousands turn out to a massive biker rally, this as the nation reaches 5 million covid cases. in beirut action demanded after one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history. also the bride posing for these photos, when this happened. she tells us her story. she and her new husband will join us, incredible moments that took place after these pictures. with eight days to go until the democratic convention, when will we find out joe biden's running mate? and with that, good morning to you. it is sunday, august 9th. >> we are going to start with the latest on the coronavirus

pandemic. overnight the country reached a stark new milestone surpassing 5 million confirmed cases. the u.s. leads the world in this, more than 163,000 people have died. and as public health officials across the globe scramble for a cure, there's a new poll out that shows only one in every three americans would not get a covid vaccine if it were available today, two-thirds would. 35% of americans say they would not get a free fda-approved vaccine, while 65% say they would. this week it's move-in day at dozens of college campuses across the country. at iowa state university, 66 students tested positive for covid-19, half isolating in reserved space and the other half opted to return home. the school is requiring all 9,000 students to get tested before moving on campus. in florida, walt disney world is cutting back hours after reporting a dramatic fall in earnings. the hours will be trimmed back

after labor day, as florida has become a coronavirus epicenter, over 500 in 26,000 cases. testimonies are slamming president trump's decision to bypass congress and take executive action on covid relief while democratic leaders are urging republicans to get back to the negotiating table. >> josh letterman has more for us from washington. josh, walk us through the president's executive action here and the reaction to it, too. >> reporter: well, good morning. with the stroke of a pen, the president making an end run around congress to take these steps on his own that he says congress has failed to take to bring immediate economic relief to americans struggling all across the country during this pandemic. president trump saying last night in his news conference that he feels he's basiccally taking care of all of the major issues here. we know that's not true. we know that the president using his own authority can only do so much. you really need a law to move much farther forward so let's

look at what the president actually did do last night with his executive order, signed in new jersey. the first part of it is extends that unemployment insurance that we've been talking about that's lapsed. the federal $600 has lapsed, president trump says he is going to extend $400 a week for unemployment benefits, that's more than the initial $200 the white house had been offering. the president's executive orders also deferring payroll taxes for employees through the end of 2020, although it's unclear at this point whether they would have to pay them back at the end of that. president trump saying if he's reelected, he will seek to make those cuts permanent. the president also signing an eviction moratorium as well as deferring student loan payments for the rest of the year. now take a listen to what president trump said last night as he was defending his decision to go around congress. >> in the current negotiations, we have repeatedly stated our willingness to immediately sign

legislation providing expanded unemployment benefits, protecting americans from eviction, and providing additional relief payments to families. democrats have refused these offers. they want to negotiate. what they really want is bailout money for states that are run by democrat governors and mayors, and that have been run badly for many, many years and many decades, in fact. sticking point between the president and congressional democrats in these negotiations. interestingly, the president did something elsegl related to tha when he signed these unemployment benefits. he says he wants the states to pick up a quarter of the tab of these fedex tended benefits. that's going to get a lot of blowback from states and we are already getting some of that employeeback from democratic leadership in the house and senator.de nancy pelosi and chuck schumer saying that today's meager announcements by the president

show he doesn't comprehend the seriousness or urgency of the health and economic crises facing working families. we also heard from joe biden, piling on as well, saying this is no art of the deal. some measures do far more harm than good.me >> so many of these states already hurting. i can't imagine they will be onboard for this. thank you. appreciate it. > . >> and joining us senior political analyst for nbcnews.com joshfo allen. >> jonathan, you say the most comfortable outcome was failure. that's a positive on a sunday morning. explain. >> good morning. yeah, look, sometimes when you look at what's going on with congress and the white house you try to be positive and you realize that y it's impossible

be positive and honest.t' in terms of what happened here, you look at the incentives, and they weren't there for a deal. there was little incentive for nancy pelosi to come down significantly from the $3 trillion. she wanted to keep unemployment benefits going as they were, send out the silver medal checks that president trump wants. she wanted to send out money to tate and local governments struggling in this coronavirus period, and she felt like the republican answer that took a couple of months to come back wasn't very good and she thinks she has the she she she has the upper hand. deficit spending had not had that prior to covid, and certainly didn't have it during covid. then a handful of republican senators in tough re-election races that want to do some things that are seen as compassionate. they did not win the argument.

senate majority leader mcconnell is one of those republicans in a tough re-election race. he did not win the argument. in fact, he absented himself from negotiations. but splitting the republican conference in the senate was a good way to go for them politically, so they didn't want to bring a bill to the floor at all. in fact, they never did. for the president he is going to be blamed or credited one way or another with all of this, so he decided to take some action rather than no action and pointed a finger at the democrats. >> that was my thought about this, is kind of what is the political calculation from the president? what does he stand to gain if is he doing this? is it really just a political move though? >> i think there is a policy-level move here, too. unemployment insurance benefits the additional benefits are expiring. so whether you like what the president is trying to do here, whether you think it's enough

money or not, it is certainly more than people would be getting without it. wheth whether you like the whole package he presented or not or think it amounts to a whole package, you know, loan forgiveness for students is something that a lot of students are going to want to see. so, i mean, if you look at what he is doing, he is doing something. former vice president biden says some of theid actions do more hm than good. places where you could argue that. for instance, the payroll tax company takes money out of the social security and medicare accounts and theur president ha said in 2016 he was going to protect social security and medicare. now you see him going after their funding source. >> jonathan, there always seems to be historically winners and losers in these types of critical fundingty battles. we get a sense at this point there is a clear winner and loser? >> the loser is the struggling public, right?

basically, what we have seen is marketse regain their value. if you're an investor and, you know, roughly half of americans own some level of stock, you probably have seen your investments at least roughly hold even or do better than that. and so on that level -- but the vast majoritybu of wealth is he by a very few. so those folks have been put in pretty good shape. the people that needed temporary help in order to get through the coronavirus crisis have basically been abandoned by the government. by congress and the president, they walked away from them. if you needed 13 weeks of unemployment and you haven't been hired and thend you need another 13 weeks because you haven't gotten a job because the economy still doesn't have a lot of jobs and because a lot of businesses are still closed [

inaudible ]. >> jonathan, just at the end there. >> your shot broke up. to think,ot like, for folks who are curious, just go to his twitter page. it shows a behind-the-scenes, there are 19 books holding up jonathan's shot. if only it was holding up your wifi signal. might have been better. >> i think we got most of the information we needed there though. thank you so much, jonathan allen, for his live -- in washington. >> thank you. quite a-- setup. luckily, dr. cedric dark has a better setup. age emergency medicine physician, the assistant professor at baylor college of medicine. doctor, thank you for being here. we are talking the coronavirus pandemic andcoan the u.s. as overnight surpassed 5 million coronavirus cases now with a few signs of slowing.

at johns hopkins they told nbc the pandemic does not appear to have peaked here as yet in the united states. what do you think? >> i was looking over some of the cdcng numbers from this morning and in terms of the numbers of cases, there is a small dip going on, although we are at a second larger hump from where we were earlier in the pandemic. but the thing that worries me the most, and this is me as an emergency physician, i care most about people's lives. when you look at those numbers over the past month, deaths are starting to trickleh, back up. this is being driven in places like texas, georgia, arizona, florida where we've seen the pandemic start to rage again. >> those states you just mentioned, five states do make up almost half of the cases in the u.s. california, florida, texas, new york, and georgia. they account for 44% of the country's infections. so what is happening there, number one, when it comes to

them trying to quell their cases, but somehow not, and especially the, ones, the very few that are adding thousands of cases each day? >> yeah, so, i mean, i think you have two different stories here. number one, inri new york you he the story of early on the number of deaths and cases was extraordinarily large from their arboles in april. that'sin gotten better. california, on the other hand, for some reason has started to see the numbers trickled up. same thing in the states in the south. what we notice between the three states of the south where i am in houston, texas, georgia, florida, the economies were to reopened far too soon. the governors in many of those places have disallowed local municipalities from implementing mask orders until it was too late. we see the decisions of the politicians getting involved there going against what the decisions ofg scientists would rather have done and doctors would rather have done. and i think that as we've talked

about all over this pandemic, the biggest problem is we have a war on science going on and we need to have our politicians get out of this war on science and back up the doctors and the nurses and the people that are front line health care workers taking care of people every single day. >> doctor, texas has more than 500,000 cases right now. how is the response across the state there, and in the hardest-hite areas, including houston, are you confident there measures in places to slow the spread? >> they have started to slow a little bit. what we've seen is that we peaked maybe a week or two ago with about 10,000 hospitalizations a day and that's come down to maybe about 8,000 in the state, which has improved. however, when we look at what it was doing back in april, in the beginning of may, we were near maybe 1,000. so we're still much, much higher

than we used to be, and just like hospitalizations, deaths are up as well, and we're at these new plateaus where we didn't have to be if we followed simple things like wearing a mask, stayingea indoors, stayin socially distant. it's things that we would love to see mandated, or i would personally love to see mandated, but because of the leadership that we have making a lot of this stuff voluntary, we have to relay on our fellow citizens to do the right thing. >> doctor, the drd says hispanic children are eight times more likely to beim hospitalized tha their black peers. this is alarming. two, what do you make of this when it comes to texas? >> i mean, to me this is starting to look like virus genocide. the decisions the politicians are making are out there attacking minority populations, and the issue is we have social determinants of health that are not being addressed.

i will say things like what we talked about in the previous segment,ed payroll tax relief, anything we can do to get money into the hands of people so that they don't feel obligated to have to go out into set and working so they can stay home and prevent spreading the virus is something that helps us to fight this pandemic. we need the politicians to get off of their hands and actually address the issues without putting w politics into play. >> we will leave it there with dr. cedric dark. thank you. continue to do the good work that you are doing. >> thank you. it is a video that sticks in your mind. a bride posing for her wedding photos when the unthinkable happens. >> she and her new husband join us because there is a lot more to this story. stay with us. b when you start with a better that's no way to treat a dog... ...you can do no wrong. where did you learn that? the internet... yeah? mmm! with no artificial preservatives or added nitrates or nitrites, it's all for the love of hot dogs.

started to see a heavy smoke in the sky. we knew it was just a burning. but then we never thought it would be a huge explosion. this heavy smoke, it turned out into a huge explosion. >> what is incredible is you can see in the aftermath of that video as the photographer turns around, you see both of you guys run to take shelter in that restaurant there. what happened after that? >> well, we had ourself in that restaurant just for a couple of minutes, just to figure out what really happens with us and if it's safe to move from that place and go back home. while there, i was wearing the white dress, and i would see the people around me bleeding and crying. i remember that -- i remember the days when i used to work in

the e.r. then i told myself, hey, now you have to do your job. so i started to help some people before we go back home. >> wow. >> and meantime, i am urias, how far away were you at the time and what did you do? >> about three meters far away. i just saw the explosion. after that -- [ inaudible ] take my hands and go to the restaurant to see if we are injured or something happened to me or her. i can't explain my feelings.

>> you guys went on to actually hold the wedding celebrations after that. i can't even imagine the state of mind you had to be in for that, and now you are waiting for -- where are you in that process? are you any closer to being able to come back to the u.s.? >> we are still waiting for my husband to get a visa. the papers are in the nvc now. we have no answer from them. the paperwork is there like six months now and we still have no answer. >> you are hoping that they will be able to expedite this process because it has been ongoing for such a long time. i do know that you delayed your nuptials in hopes that this visa process would be expedited or folks out there that might be able to help ywith all of this.

doing good. all they have to do is to relax and press on the injury that they have on the shoulder. and as soon as possible, whenever the chance to go to the e.r. just to get some help and treatment. >> understandable. >> anybody who was in their area when all of this happened, very lucky it have some immediate treatment from the doctor. >> what can we do from this vantage point for the people of lebanon? >> well, firstly, i ask to stay strong and to help each other. and i ask the world to pray for us to support us. beirut is a [ inaudible ] so please stand beside us. >> pray for the people of beirut, which meany have been doing tuesday and even before then because of all the unrest

. new today democrats slamming the president who bypassed congress by taking executive action on covid-19 relief. it could help millions of unploild americans if it with stands potential legal challenges. >> our colleague and friend,

host of velshi, ali velshi. as we look at that press conference that ended up with that abrupt exit, first off, what are the effects of this executive order? >> well, some of it may not be legal because the government, congress has the constitutional responsibility for appropriation. for donald trump to come up with the money necessary, it's like the border wall. he has to fand it somewhere else and move it and that's a constitutional battle. a right way would have been to convince senate republicans about 20 of whom say we spent too much money and we are getting in too much debt. the president has not dealt with the problem, this will not be the last money needed. secondly, $400 in federal government assistance, not $600 and it doesn't involve other one-time payments. it's not enough. democrats were trying to compromise with republicans on this. republicans said we are not moving. republicans in the senate. so the president did this. the other thing is the president has cut payroll taxes, which is

not actually the problem. the payroll taxes are a problem when you have people employed. it costs you a little bit, it funds social security, medicare, things like that. it's not actually what the problem is. the problem is people can't work at the moment. if you don't work, there are no payroll taxes to pay for your purposes. so this feels like a back doorway to do something that employers wanted done anyway while everybody's concentrated on a bigger issue. so, a, it may not be constitutional, b, not enough money, c, not clear where the money comes from, and d, the payroll tax cut is likely a corporate tax cut we needed a few years ago. something we didn't need. for republicans concerned about an increasing deficit, if you look at our deficit it is mostly built on tax cuts and wars. there is a feeling amongst republicans it's democrats that run up deficits because of

entitlement programs. that's actually not the truth. none of it seems like it makes a lot of sense. the only good news is a temporary reprieve for people who thought they were losing the entire $600, now they will get $400. we are not sure exactly when. and the continuation on the moratorium on evictions that expired last week. a little bit of good news. not done the right way. not entirely clear whether it will stand up to constitutional challenge and not what democrats were looking for. >> or how long it will take to implement. let's dig a into the payroll tax deferment. absolutely, it oonl happens for people receiving a paycheck. it funds social security and medicare. would this be a problem down the line for that? >> that is correct. we already have problems in funding both of those issues for reasons we can discuss another time. but that does seem like a back doorway to cut social security while everybody is worried about something else. here, let me give you $400 here.

somebody has to pay for it. the complain about social security is we don't have enough of a base to actually pay for the number of people who are in retirement right now. so it just doesn't seem like the sensible way to have handled this thing. the president needed to use the bully pulpit to talk to mcconnell's republicans in the senate who were intransigent about increasing money because they thought the debt was going to increase. when you give people who don't have money, money to buy food, for transportation, and for housing, that 100% of that money is spent in the local economy. it tends to have a high return on investment. >> it really does. it's beyond just rent. other things that they really need, ancillary expenses. >> right. staples. >> exactly. let's talk about, you know, we always often talk about people making a great entrance. the president had quite the exit yesterday after grieving his list, a laundry list of grievances there during his

announcement. what did you make of his presentation and what happened as he was challenged? >> well, look, it's just weird, right? these are official announcements. it should be the president's there and reporters are there. usually when you are in a foreign, you know, with a foreign leader, you have their press and their ent raunl, sometimes other people. this is just weird, right? this is the president's private club. the audience were private club members. he then left, by the way, to go to private mansions in the hamptons for a fundraiser. the whole thing didn't have the feeling of a presidential announcement and search aexecut orders. it had a feeling of campaign stuff, people cheering, stuff like this. this has been going on since friday night. it's an unusual setup that suggests the president is in campaign mode. so this just didn't have a
