sadly, in 1988, willie passed away from kidney cancer. his funeral, there were more than a thousand people at his funeral. it was covered on local news, national news, the new york times had an article about it. even michael dukakis was at his funeral. a lot of national politicians, when they heard the news, they make statements about how important willie was due the political process and getting minorities involved in the political process. in 1995, president clinton posthumously awarded willie the presidential medal of freedom. here, we have the invitation to mrs. velasquez for the ceremony awarding him the presidential medal of freedom. the collection and organization is not only important to san antonio, not only to the southwest, because they did work all across the southwest, not just texas, but it is important nationally. what they have been able to do in terms of increasing mexican-american voter registration, also having an influence on how politicians, how many mexican-american politicians we have in office now, they have made a

>> good morning, willie. look at that map, it's ironic that the name of the country is the united states of america. what i see is 50 disjointed states of america, each state has been left on its own, left to its own devices, struggling to respond in whatever way they can to keep their residents safe. that's not how this should be working out at all. in your previous segment talking about the cdc and these careered scientists and professionals, public health professionals, they're handcuffed. they're giving recommendations, but they're being persuaded under political pressure to soften their guidelines. their primary mission is to maintain the health and safety of the american people and that's just not happening. when you look at what's happening in states such as florida, texas, california, it's alarming from a medical standpoint, willie. >> so, dr. roy, we know in the state of texas they've rolled back some of their reopening as the cases have exploded there. florida has done some of that, but not as much

willis. ms. willis is the cofounder and ceo of the institute for diversity and inclusion in emergency management. she is a certified emergency manager, a master exercise practitioner and served as the immediate past president of the international association of emergency managers. welcome. without objection, the witness' full statements will be inserted into the record. i now ask each witness to summarize his or her statement for five minutes beginning with dr. benjamin. dr. benjamin: thank you very much for allowing me to spend some time with you this morning. you have my full testimony. i'm going to focus on three areas. some concerns i have about ongoing preparedness activity and the importance of rebuilding our public health infrastructure. as you know, this has devastated our nation. over 3 million cases. over 130,000 deaths. they are growing at 60,000 cases per day. if you look at the minority community, we have been devastated disproportionately as african-americans. over 13% of the po

willis. benjamin: we have to understand their job -- they have to plan with communities and not to communities. that means they have to have community engagement, they have to be part of the planning process throughout every aspect of it and we need to make sure congress will require that governors and emergency planners show that they engage communities as part of the planning process. remember the hiv-aids days when we were challenged to get good hiv-aids plans in place? congress required planning communities be part of that planning process. i think you can link that to the funding in some way or other mechanisms to demonstrate communities are part of the planning process. as you know, there is enormous stress in communities not being used. dr. wen: if i may add very quickly, that right now, we don't even have that cookie-cutter approach. i agree we need to have a tailored approach but right now we don't even have a national strategy of any kind. we need a national strategy around testing,

willie, this is not hyperbole.y legend is grossly inaccurate when describing carl reiner. >> yeah, you can always tell how influential somebody was when they pass and you just see from every corner, not just of the comedy world, the entertainment world, the love, the admiration, the respect, the reverence that so many people have for carl reiner. and that's a generation of comedians. we saw mel brooks there. we saw carl reiner, sid cesar, dick van dyke, of course, as well, who just represent a style of comedy and a generational comedy that paved the way for a lot that came after it. and as we just saw there, he's timeless. i think a lot of people, mike barnicle, younger people, maybe, first experienced carl reiner in the "oceans 11" movies, but boy, did he have a career long before that, of course, where he established himself as not just one of the great straight men, as mel brooks said yesterday, but one of the great comedic minds of all time. and more than that, even, i think, mike, when you read some of the tri

there are other images of willie gillis. this one was never published. willie, the young recruit, remember he was too young to enlist, but posed for the pictures, the rabbits foot for good luck. willie gillis, so you know who he is, looking starry eyed and naÏvely as these citizens are eating, smoking, sitting around, the veterans of war. it was actually thought of two -- too harsh a contrast and not published. this painting to the site is one of the better willie gillis images and more poignant. willie is in a place of worship, with military superiors in front and behind, thinking about what is to come. the painting here, "war news," was painted by rockwell late in 1944 and is an image of people in small town america listening to their news, getting their news, from the newspaper and the radio in the back. it is really a magnificent composition in that the artist takes you through the counter to this group of people, listening, watching, ears, hands, eyes, all coming together. we know from a sketch that the newspaper was to have on its cover a headline

>> i appreciate that, willie. as was mentioned, in march i didn't know how to save a patient's life on a ventilator with covid-19 as well as i do now, as well as my colleagues do now. i know if you're young -- if you're old, you come in and need a vent, you probably need to be on a blood thinner, i probably need to give you steroids at high dozes. i didn't know that a few months ago and then you need to be put on your belly, we call it prone position. these are interventions that have allowed us to save more lives amongst those critically ill. so yes, treatments are better. we know with testing we're testing and finding more individuals are younger. we're seeing the median age of individuals drop from 65 to 35 in florida. that means you still see people end up in the icu, whether you're young or old but they're more likely to survive covid-19. doesn't mean they're going to have harmful effects of it. i've seen people as young as 20 have strokes. so the president's messaging on harmful, versus harmless, deeply dama

mike willis got it all, word for word. and, so, in response to the article, ted yoho went to the floor of the house yesterday to use the word apologize without ever actually apologizing. >> i rise to apologize for the abrupt manner of the conversation i had with my colleague from new york. >> two things about that apology. one, that is not an apology. t to alexandria ocasio-cortez. and, two, his abrupt manner was not the issue. it was the vicious, trumpian language that he used and the things that he said and the way that he attacked the congresswoman. ted yoho then grabbed the shield that men like him love to use, the wife and the daughters. >> having been married for 45 years with two daughters, i'm very cognizant of my language. the offensive name calling words attributed to me by the press were never spoken to my colleagues. and if they were construed that way, i apologize for their misunderstanding. >> that is a lie. he did say those words. and in that statement he is accusing reporter mike willis and alexandria ocasi

willie? coronavirus cases in florida as we mentioned has forced the president to cancel the jacksonville portion of the republican national convention. the three-night planned celebration which was to be capped by the president's acceptance speech was supposed to begin exactly one month from today. this is the second time the president has cancelled plans for the full-scale event he hoped for. last month he moved the event from charlotte after refusing to scale down because of the virus. tweeting, quote, democrat governor roy cooper is still in shutdown mode. another tweet, he wrote governor cooper is still in shelter in place mode and not allowing us to occupy the arena as originally anticipated and promised. the governor responded stating we have been looking for a safe convention in north carolina, and it's sad they wouldn't scale down to keep people safe. after scaling down in florida and north carolina, the president said it'll be what the governor of north carolina proposed from the sta

i'm willie geist. joe and mika have the morning off. >>> we woke up this morning to the news that there now are more than 3 million reported cases of coronavirus in the united states with record days in a number of states, including texas and california. against that backdrop, president trump is touting the administration's response to the virus, saying, "we're in a good place," pointing to the united states' mortality rate, even as we just heard dr. fauci publicly calls that a false narrative. the president also is pushing state and local leaders across the country to reopen schools and colleges this fall. new modeling predicts a national spike, though, through those first months of school. meanwhile, the trump administration announcing it will formally withdraw from the world health organization early next year. vice president joe biden says if he's elected, that will not happen. meanwhile, dr. deborah birx says officials were caught off guard with this latest wave of coronavirus. during a panel disc

so, good morning, willie. good morning, mika. >> good morning, john. >> to go back to the topic of your question -- to go back to the top of your question, you know, yes. so, the tradition is, you know, we've all heard of the notion of rose garden campaign, right? presidents, incumbent presidents who use the power of the office to advance both the country's interests and their political interests. that's one of the things, power of incumbency. that's what you get when you're a sitting president. so, this notion that politics and government don't come together is, of course, false. but what the president's done here is, rather than doing what normal incumbent presidents do, which is to use the power of the office in that way, by using their kind of policy power to enhance their standing with the american people as opposed to just using the rose garden to attack a rival, the president seems to be kind of doing exactly the opposite. not only is he violating tradition by launching this kind of personal invective a

. >> oh, they will come, willie. like moonlight graham on the side of the row -- >> three months late. >> baseball is back, my friend. baseball is back. >>, you know, somebody asked me the other night, isn't it weird to watch the baseball games as i watched the yankees and the mets with no fans and they piped in noise. i said maybe a little but you have baseball, it's back. i saw aaron judge trotting around the bases after he hit a home run. everything we love about the sport is back. there is a little rain in the forecast tonight in washington so we'll keep an eye on that. but the defending champion washington nationals host the new york yankees. guess who's throwing out the first pitch? dr. anthony fauci. >> yes, how fun. >> then a late game out west between the giants and the dodgers. the season will be an abbreviated 60 game schedule, teams playing only in their own regions. there's rule changes, a designated hitter for the first time since that position was created for the american league in 1973. the use of a r

willis. ms. willis: thank you. that's an excellent question. this entire policy the president veryforcing is to me significantly traumatizing because i'm a parent. when i consider my son will be exposed to covid-19 because i am a single mother, because i do have to work, i'm absolutely horrified. i know so many other americans are in the same position where you have to work and so now your kids must be sacrificed. to me, it is similar to the time when the president forced the meatpacking industry back to work when he knew they were going into dangerous circumstances and there is nothing that was done because they had to work. it's similar to slavery. if you think about what occurred with the yellow fever, this concept of sacrificing those who are most vulnerable and those who do not have a voice. it's absolutely astonishing and it's an indictment against america. thank you, sir. dr. benjamin: we should never cut corners. i've looked at the cdc guidance. it is not too tough. baseline and we should not weaken that guidance at all. that's the firs

williams, it's willie geist.many of the same things you're having to say now as we turn to august tomorrow. how frustrating is it to you as a public health expert to watch the lack of progress, to watch the lack of leadership, to watch the lack of a plan to attack something that should have been attacked many months ago? >> i mean, it is tragic. it's a sad commentary on our times when we are so politically divided that we are not taking the objective, scientific evidence seriously. and what is also important that we cannot miss as we think of the impact of the pandemic on our populations is the disproportionate negative impact on the most vulnerable in our society. the poor, the elderly, populations of color, african-americans, latinos, native americans, pacific islanders are among those populations that have been hardest hit. and all of this is avoidable if we take steps now to reduce the risk and i think it's really important that we look to the future and think of what we can do now. what investments we need t

look at willie geist sitting at the table. how you doing, willie? >> good. i can't reach out and touch you but it good to see you. >> as you guys know, savannah is recovering from eye surgery. she had like a big patch on her eye. she said she can't see clearly yet but she's hopeful it will be soon. we wish her well as she's recovering. >> we hope to see you right back here real soon. meantime, new today we are following that welcomed new for football fans, the nfl and its players clearing a major hurdle before training camp in just a few days. >> we will begin with the latest on the coronavirus. in florida the nation's new epicenter reporting nearly 10,000 new cases for the seventh days in a row. >> that spike has disney world tightening its policy on masks. people were removing them as they wacked a they walked around the park to eat and drink. now people are being told to remain stationary as they eat and drink. >> gabe gutierrez is in savannah. >> reporter: good morning. savannah is one of several cities that issued a mask order in defines of the governor

>> you are right, willie. having worked overnight, people are out celebrating as i just experienced. it was a busy night here. i think we're in an inflection point for the country. people are looking around and realizing that we're at a different place than we were whether we were co when we came off memorial day. we were coming off lockdowns and case counts were coming down. the message was we moved past this. states were starting to reopen aggressively. i think as a result, people started to socialize too aggressively. now i think more and more particularly over the last week, people are really realizing the case counts are accelerating. i think that's giving people cause for concern. i think there are some bright spots. in the last week, we have seen states start to implement mask ordinances. i think we are up to 23 states. in addition, i think anecdotally, i'm hearing from patients that they are starting to take the social distancing a little more seriously this week after seeing what is happening. what i

>> no, willie. when i heard that.because it -- what it to people is there's nothing to worry about. it's just the opposite. current estimates are that roughly 1% or maybe slightly less than 1% of people will die. but for those who get the infection, who don't die, it's not an easy course. somewhere in the order of 15 to 20% of those with known infection will be hospitalized, about 15 to 20% of those individuals will end up in the intensive care unit on a ventilator and the road to recovery for many people is quite long. for many people it involves some neu neurolodgic difficulties. this is a serious illness and one we as a nation have to come together around if we want to control this. >> as you know, dr. besser, as the cases have spiked across the country in places like california, texas and south carolina and florida, we have seen the death rates stay low. the president is right about that, that fewer peopl coronavi. yesterday we had our lowest number of deaths since back near the beginning of this crisis. what does

along with joe, willie and me. we have white house reporter for the associated press jonathan lemire. columnist and editor of "the washington post" eugene robinson. and historian, john meacham, the author of the forthcoming biography of john lewis, entitled, "his truth is marching on" which accomplishes in october. >> john meacham, obviously as nancy said, john lewis was considered the conscience of congress. he also was a christian who was christ like. you look at the attitudes and so many of them apply to the life day in and day out for those of us who knew and loved john up close, those of us who only knew him from his public image, this was a man who always understood blessed are the meek, blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. blessed are the peacemakers. john, he was all of that and so much more. and how fitting that he was remembered the way he was yesterday in washington d.c. >> you know, the secular and the sacred intersect in the rotunda at moments like that. and lewis was, in fact, i

willie? >> at a funeral. gabe gutierrez.hank you so much. >>> now to the battle over what to do about schools. in cities across the country, a fierce debate is playing out about whether to reopen classrooms. and they're doing just that at one school district in tennessee. and it is happening this morning. blayne alexander is there with the latest. hey, blayne, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. soon students will start showing up here at alcoa high school in tennessee. when you come back to school, first-day jitters are normal. but today they take on an entirely new meaning. across the small district, there are about 2,000 students, but only about a fifth of them will be in the classrooms today. all part of new measures to reopen safely. this is certainly not your typical first day of school. >> so when students return to school today, one of the first things they'll see is they may walk into a classroom and things look noticeably different. >> reporter: sanitizing stations, plexiglass shields, and desks at a di

let's speak now to our north america correspondent david willis. david, president trump manages to sound as if all this has nothing to do with him but there is no doubt about these act or attempts from the trump administration to discredit dr faucl administration to discredit dr fauci. absolutely, and indeed at the weekend, the white house send out a briefing note, basically putting the case that dr fauci shouldn't be trusted. the us trade representative peter navarro doubled down on that today in an op—ed in usa today. asked about that, president trump said he didn't agree with the opinions expressed by his trade representative but nonetheless, he is known to have been very critical of dr anthony fauci in recent weeks and one of the reasons for that, mike, recent weeks and one of the reasons forthat, mike, is simply this, that dr fauci is the person that more americans trust to navigate their way out of the current crisis. more trust him then do donald trump in that regard, and dr fauci,

to report a jump in cases. 0ur north america correspondent, david willis, says there is no doubt the white house has tried to discredit dr fauci. it is somewhat surreal that as the death toll in the united states nears 137,000 people, you have this apparent feud going on between the top infectious diseases expert doctor anthony fauci and the white house. 0ver doctor anthony fauci and the white house. over the weekend, the white house issued a series of bullet points detailing why doctor anthony fauci should not be tested. then peter navarro today doubled down on all of that in an article in usa today. president trump has since sought to distance himself somewhat from peter navarro's comments and doctor felt she, you just were explaining, has said that he does not really understand what is going on. he called it a major mistake, did not understand why the white house would seek to discredit him. and it is of concern to people

willie we'll get to all that in a moment. but give us the latest on miami. >> mika, as you mentioned, miami now the new epicenter of this pandemic. florida had its second worse day for new infections yesterday adding over 12,000 cases just a day after shattering the record for the highest number of single day cases. miami-dade county was responsible for a quarter of yesterday's new cases and represents about 20% of the total number of infections statewide. health advisers to the mayor describe the situation as grave. the mayor is withholding closing more businesses. >>> an infectious disease specialist at the university of miami said the situation is like what was happening in wuhan, in china five or six months ago, and like new york three months ago, remember that? florida state lawmakers are calling on the federal government to coordinate with state and local leaders. 98% of icu beds in miami-dade are occupied. in the past 14 days, hospitalizations rose 65%, icu admissions are up 66%, and ventilator use is up 128%. the ceo

>> that's right, willie. for weeks and even a couple of months, the sort of hot button political cultural wedge issue was use of masks. the president defying all available health data, the recommendation of his own medical team and public health professionals and not wear a mask. even in the face of rising elements that a mask reduces the transmission of the virus. and we've seen fellow republicans break with the president and endorse them, other prominent elected officials. seems the next battleground is going to be schools. in the last 48 hours a remarkable assault from the president making this political push suggesting without evidence that del democratic governors and mayors and other local officials are trying to keep schools closed to hurt him politically. we've sort of grown numb to this because we've seen the president do it, it's remarkable the way he broke with the cdc, his own agency, i disagree with them, they're being too tough. according to our reporting the white house is looking at their own

i know it's 109 days out, willie. some places in just a little bit over two months. so the president has historic challenges and seems to be every single day making it worse, not better. >> donny, in the nbc/"the washington journal" poll a couple days ago, only 19% of people believe the country is on the right track right now. less than 20% of americans believe that. that's a snapshot where we are right now. i'll put the question to you as an ad maker, somebody who watches politics. if you're the biden campaign, what are you thinking, holding the ball holding limited events, rolling out plans as you seem necessary, letting the president go out every day and do what he's done and his turn his back on the pandemic that has consumed the country. >> you answered your own question. if you're biden, less is more. you pick your spots once a week, maybe twice a week and come out as jim said with a buy american economic plan and this week with the environment and let it be about trump. we know if a presidential election become

>> good morning, willie. first thing i think is how is the doctor that the president retweeted on the mask piece, on alien dna, how does that person have a license? then i think what's the president thinking giving that information a platform. it's the reason the mayor and i have to write a piece like this. i'm sure the mayor would agree with me, we don't want to have to write a piece like this. right now, i'm caring for a group of people on ventilators because of covid-19. so this is real. deaths are spiking 24 states. the catastrophe that the mayor is having to deal with in miami because he has no state level leadership, it's all real. the common denominator is poor and irresponsible leadership when you think about what the gop congressman was doing, it's an incredible dereliction of duty. >> mayor you have a mask mandate in the city of miami. how strictly are you enforcing that? if i'm walking down the street and don't have a mask on, what happens to me in miami? >> you are going to get a $100 fine. we hav

>> that is exactly the point, willie. a week that it's been running. the trend is largely down roughly in line with expect ages, but a bit slower than i think many of us would have hoped if we want to see any kind of sustained strong rebound. at 1.3 million or 1.5 million, you're talking about twice as many americans every week filing for unemployment insurance that we ever had and the worst week in our history prior to this pandemic. so it's a huge number. somewhat encouraging. but a lot of wood left to chop before we get back to reasonable levels of jobs. >> and you've come armed with your charts as always and you're looking at the demographics about certain members of our culture, our society, facing unemployment in larger numbers than others. where are you looking specifically? >> so i heard it earlier this morning, quote ivanka trump as saying people who lose their jobs should, quote, find something new. and what i wanted to show you today is how hard it may be for some of those people to find something new, dependin
