department of african-american studies. >>> tomorrow for memorial day president trump is heading to baltimore a city that remains under a stay-at-home order and continues to ban gathering of ten or more. baltimore readers repeatedly urged donald trump to the reconsider with the mayor saying in a statement, non-oh essential trips sends the wrong message to residents quoting i wish the leader of our country would set a positive example and not travel this holiday weekend. the white house says the plan remained as planned and mayor young joins me now. thank you for joining us. you don't think we're around the corner on this and why there continues to be a stay-at-home order in baltimore. what you do you understand the president is planning to do in baltimore tomorrow? >> i have no idea what he's planning to do here in baltimore but i do know that since friday we had over 4,400 confirmed cases. that's 8% increase in baltimore, and over 400 hospitalized and over 210 deaths in baltimore city. i've been urging and asking our residents to honor the stay-at-home order and only to go out for essential job fun

their behinds is a former baltimore city prosecutor joins us now from baltimore in maryland good to have you with us so when you look at the video you might think ok this looks like a slam dunk case for a criminal prosecution does it work like that in court yes it definitely should work like that and what the problem is is that in america there are just 2 justices there's white face justice if there's black face justice i mean if this had been an african-american man not a police officer and it done the same thing even without a video he would be sitting in jail on arrested and a pending charges but because this involves a police officer because it involves white police officers it's a whole nother story there is nothing more we saw basically a mini documentary a 10 minute many documentary of a man unfortunately lost his life by at the hands of police officers it was beautiful and it was inhumane and yes it was murder very disturbing pictures debbie you're a former baltimore city prosecutor some curious to know when you say there are 2 justice systems in the u.s. how does it practically

this month the city of baltimore is kicking off a new aerial surveillance program after it received approval from a judge but do privacy advocates have legitimate concerns about this technology and will it spread to other cities potentially across the nation while i am joined by our it is rachel blevins to discuss more of these details so this is pretty and shocking what do we know about this program so far right now that's launching in baltimore raising the bottom of the. department has started the 6 month program to test out this aerial surveillance technology that covers 90 percent of the city and police are saying this could be a great tool to help crack down on criminals but this service is being provided by a private company based in ohio and it's being funded by a private donor now i had a chance earlier to talk with retired baltimore supervisor dr michael wood jr and he said baltimore likely isn't the only city that is considering this take a listen. this company has quite an orwellian name for system surveillance kind of sets the stage for what we're talking about this is not new to

of missouri he was looking at the different checks and balances that bit of that not just the city of baltimore but. now senator mcrae also so the legislatures have come together in support of a bill that would require hiring police officials to live within city limits something other city agencies already require so there is some hope that maybe we could see some reforms coming out of the baltimore police department within the next year but at the same time now that we're talking about aerial surveillance and transparency there that's likely just another issue that will be added to the list always as always rachel blevins great reporting on this one will continue to follow the story thanks thank you. the u.s. now reaching a record unemployment rate as new data shows some $20000000.00 american jobs have been lost in april this sends the unemployment rate up to 14.7 percent representing both the largest one month jump and highest level on record ultimately creating long unemployment lines across the country however these numbers are considered unreal as it does not include the millions who eithe

leana wen is the former baltimore city health commissioner. we have our reporters fanned out all over the country as sit teas cities, states and businesses reopen. the mayor of the biggest city in mississippi, jackson, says that state's reopening strategy puts the people who live in his city at risk. riert now the state has more than 13,000 confirmed cases and blacks account for more than half of the state's deaths even though they make up a third of the population. nbc's dasha burns is in mississippi. black people make up more than 80% of jackson's population. how are folks there dealing with this pandemic that's hitting them harder than most? >> reporter: craig, mississippi and jackson are pretty striking examples of the trends that we've been seeing across the country which is that it's not just medical factors that impact health outcomes, but it's social factors that can really determine who bears the burden of this disease. it is largely minority communities and low-income communities. that's certainly the case here in mississippi. this is

baltimore city has to balance its budget. it doesn't have the leeway we have in order to respond to a crisis by pumping money at a problem. baltimore county, $172 million revenue projection. that's a 22% reduction in this year's budget in regards to income tax revenues alone. a 70% reduction in motel and hotel tax revenues. for montgomery county, our neighbor, borders here in d.c., a $250 million projected revenue loss for this year. prince george's county, $134 million revenue loss for this year. that includes a reduction of $886 million in income tax revenues. ann arundel county, $63 million loss of revenue. they've frozen all positions. howard county, $30 million to $40 million loss of revenue. they normally have a growth of $25 million. that's a swing of $65 million to $65 million for a county not large enough to get help under the cares act. that's an important bill. when we brought it up it didn't include a provision for state and local. we put that in and we're pleased we were able to do that but it is limited. how is i

what's going on in our society with the way police treat civilians their behinds is a form of baltimore city prosecutor says the incident exposes flaws in the american justice system. justice is supposed to be blind and justice is not supposed to work differently it is supposed to work the same way whether you're white whether you're black whether you latino whether you're asian american it doesn't matter what color you are but the reality is it works quite differently and there's a lot of 2nd guessing always in the case is a police officer is when it's a black victim that's involved it's a 2nd guessing what more do we need well maybe there was something that we didn't see on the video it's always looked at from the advantage of the perpetrator and not from the advantage of that from the point of view of the victim who was being choked to death for 10 minutes but just is not supposed to work like that is supposed to be justice for all and that includes black americans showing that black lives to matter in this country and i think back to the case of walter scott the african-american who was

i want to bring in an emergency room physician in the former baltimore city health commissioner.m already freaked out. that was -- >> i know how you feel. >> oh my gosh. okay, so, how do we safely -- is there any way to safely eat with friend right now? >> it's really hard. look, we know that when we reopened that there's going to be risk. the only thing that was keeping this very contagious virus in check was each of us keeping that physical distance. and so if we're going to let people to work and reopen we are going to be introducing risk of some kind. the key is what are the steps we can take to reduce that risk as much as possible? going outside has risk. but that risk is small compared to the risk of being inside in a crowded place with a lot of people. i recommend you can go out and get take out food. if you have to go out and eat with other people, try to go to an outdoor space. the last thing you want is a crowded indoor space where a lot of people are congregating for a period of time. and look for places as much as you can with social distancing. and do your best to we

steve: our guest is the former public health commissioner in the city of baltimore and contribute in tighter -- writer to "the washington post." you write about one other component of the story, that covid-19 disproportionately affected people of color who are likely to be essential workers and have chronic health conditions that make them more susceptible to severe illnesses. minorities and working-class americans of all ethnicities unable to shelter at home will continue to bear the brunt of infections, illness, and death. keith joins us from sellers berger, indiana. good evening. welcome to the program. caller: thanks. this is the first time i have ever done this. i have a simple question. if someone has the virus is walking without a mask, then i walk up five minutes later after they are gone, does the virus stay in the air or fall to the ground because of gravity or what? steve: thank you. dr. wen? dr. wen: great question. i think the main issue people want to know is could you still be infected with the virus if somebody walks by with the virus and you walk by five minutes late

today it was announced the washington post new opinion contributor and baltimore city health commissionerm 2014 to 2015. dr. wen: happy to be with you. host: i want to begin with new projections-- new 4, the withy august death toll could exceed 147,000. when you see that number and projection, what is your reaction? dr. wen: my reaction is that it is an underestimate. i hate to say this because that is so many people, it is unimaginable. but it is also unimaginable for where we are right now. two months ago we had more than 80,000 americans who had died from covid-19. i am not sure how many people would have believed it. anare already on an incline, increase in the number of deaths in the u.s. the only thing keeping the virus in check is social distancing in the absence of a cure and vaccine. what was keeping the virus in check was the ability of people to stay apart as much as possible. now that states are loosening restrictions against social distancing without the proper capabilities in place to constrain the virus, we are going to see an exponential spread. i fear that the explosive s

to emergency room physician, former baltimore city health commissioner and epidemiologist at school ofaying everything we do has a risk attached to it. but when you look at those models, it's clear that distance makes a difference. masking makes a difference. what can people do? sure it's this weekend memorial day weekend but coming into summer, what do people do to reduce their risk? >> this is key. everything we do has some level of risk but we can reduce it, take matters into our hands. three variables, proximity, variety and time. if you're going to be seeing friends, go outdoors, maybe in backyard, chairs six feet apart. don't hug or kiss, share utensils or plates. changing your activities, if you're going to crowded beach walk by, don't linger. time of exposure matters. we have to protect ourselves and everyone else around us too. >> simple questions to ask themselves before they go out. what are they? >> first think about your community, how much virus is spreading in your community, also assess your personal risk. are you more vulnerable to covid-19? then maybe you should think

joining me now, rochelle ritchie, assistant to the baltimore city state attorney during the freddie gray trial. rochelle, it's good to have you here tonight. obviously, this is just an awful story from beginning to end right now. today, charges or derek chauvin, former police officer. your thoughts on what we've seen so far today? >> well, you know, martha, it's very reminiscent of what i saw happening in baltimore in 2015 during the freddie gray trial, and what i understand, a lot of people watching what is happening in minneapolis, they are very shocked, some of them are angry at the looting and violence we have seeing. however, i think the trauma of seeing an african-american community right now is not a result of the -- it's the result of years of discrimination. similar to freddie gray, it's also shocking to me, somewhat in a similar position that freddie gray was when he died. i think the charges that will come from the district attorney are pretty much to pacify the protesters and those of us i would like to see stiffer charges. plus, it took 72 hours, and even during a press conf

leah wynn is from the school of public health and the former baltimore city health commissioner. so dr. wynn, nice to see you. when you see the pictures of crowds, you understand why people want to be out and enjoy their lives, and everybody has been -- hunkered downs for months. what do you think when you see the pictures. >> i'm concerned we're worried about the next outbreak of clusters because that one person infected not showing symptoms themselves specially, they could infect dozens of others and there is a misunderstanding that reopening means that everything is safe. i see this in my own neighborhood where kids are hanging out and large groups of people have picnics together. and you could be outside. people should be outside and enjoying the nice weather. but it is keeping that physical distance, that actually is even more important now than ever because now that everybody is out and about, we have to be even more on our guard and keep that physical six foot distance, wear a a mask and wash your hands. >> don't let the early summer weather lure you into thinking that we'

city of baltimore a picture this block after block of rundown homes litter crime. this is the city with the 2nd highest murder rate in the country just last year 340 people were murdered on the streets good afternoon everybody community activist joyce jones is talking to a local radio station to sell people what she sees as a possible solution. one that takes a very different view of baltimore from above 3 planes flying 12 hours a day over most of the city filled with cameras tracing everyone's movements the pictures stored for $45.00 days and if there's a violent crime police can go back and retrace the steps of everyone nearby people are free to speak out. the community with support program will ill be v 8 bills. witnesses that are free to speak because the cameras speak for themselves activist dave on love disagrees you know we've seen recently the past 3 years a. police officer. at that level. that's. one possibly a safety because of the war on the black male the baltimore police do have a troubled history black lives matter because i killed them black people th

i would like to bring in a maryland state delegate and former baltimore city councilman.n you look at the protests that we are now seeing nationwide over breonna taylor, over george floyd, when you think back to five years ago, what do you see as the parallels between those protests? >> communities that are in pain, communities that are frustrated, communities that are afraid. the first thing that really jumps out at me is when will it end, when will it stop. i think that when we get in the midst of these crises, we talk about the things and we talk about the institutionalized racism, we talk about the problems and we've looked at this particular police officer's background now. but when we come out of the crisis, normalcy sets back in and the blindliers are placed back on and we don't go after the issues that are baked into our laws and baked into your police departments and that is really the problem. >> i think there are a lot of folks who say, well, this time it will be different, this video, this stunning image makes it different. is there anything that makes it diff

she is an emergency room physician, and the former baltimore city health commissioner.evening and hello to both. welcome back to the program. dr. wen, i am going to start with you. you know, crowded beaches in south florida. in florida. there's south carolina. there's, also, delaware. packed pool parties in missouri and texas. what goes through your mind when you see images, like this, from all across the country this weekend? >> yeah, i'm very worried when i see these pictures because they could well be the images of the next outbreak. i can very well imagine public-health officials investigating events like that, as the next cluster because we've seen it before. we've seen that large pool parties and gatherings are where there's one potential person who is infected, who could spread it to dozens, or even more, people. and i think there is this fundamental misunderstanding, don, about what reopening is, because reopening doesn't mean that the virus has somehow changed. this is just as infectious as ever before. and, in fact, we have to be on guard even more. if people

i was in baltimore city during the freddy gray riot. >> the burning of the police station. >> no, i have seen this. usually the precinct stations are protected quite well. with barricades and with personnel. i have never seen a precinct station set a blaze. >> i'm wondering what happens after this is my question. if you have never seen it, probably impossible to answer that question. do we have ellie on the line? the former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. what does happen after this? i don't know if you can answer this question. you are a former assistant u.s. attorney. you may have insight into this. please, tell us. >> there's two tracks regarding the potential murder information. a state investigation and a federal investigation. we heard from the lead prosecutor today at the press conference. the state has to make a decision how they'll charge this. when. are they charging murder in the first degree or lesser manslaughter charge. the feds meanwhile the fbi and justice department are investigating for a potential violation of civil rights law. a crime. b

bill: we see this in new york, baltimore, los angeles. big american cities. but you are in cleveland. you don't see tonight columbus, ohio. the ohio governor called out the national guard for columbus, ohio. is that level of concern legitimate for what you are seeing in ohio tonight? >> there is no doubt it's absolutely justified. the residents of downtown cleveland, this curfew they have been ordered to shelter in place. imagine all of downtown cleveland has been ordered to shelter in place because of the danger, the anarchy, the looting. our below is glancing compared to some of the cities. but this is very severe. when a city like this, an integrated city struggles to overcome the various aspects of the legacy of racism and discrimination and separation. when you try to have an integrate the city and try to go forward together and you have urban incentives, various programs to encourage people move downtown. then you have something like this. now all of a sudden people start, why don't i glow t the threat of anarchy is note present. i think the activists,

mylive in baltimore city.is to ensure the cleanliness and the sanitation of the hospital. >> my name is andrew bencomo and i live in las cruces, new i am retired, but i am working part time at a lowe's home improvement. >> my name is eric colts and iet transportation equipment operator. so basally a bus driver. >> on an average day i was told ight be more than 17 cov patients coming in whether they we have to be on the front line l and for a lot of us we fke we have no choice but to be there. if you don't want to work, you knknow, you can either, yo, quit or just take time off without pay and don't know where any, you know, any money is going to come from. you're taking a chance. >> the biggest thing t esthrough my mind, in all hones, is i just want to. the same way that i left home. i want to come back home. personally, i honestly, i feel completely stressed out. and with this ole situation, once it started, i've been working from the beginning of it. so when it wasn't a pandemic to the point where it's full

leana wen, former baltimore city health commissioner. dr. wen is with me standing by. we'll start in california. steve patterson live in hood where some businesses are getting ready to open once again. there's also talk of this phase two of reopening there in california. steve, good morning to you. what more can you tell us about this next phase of reopening there in california? >> reporter: craig, i want to be really clear on this because there's been some confusion, particularly when you're looking at the reopening of, say, other states that are starting to open up as well. i would say for the majority of californians really across the state, phase two is going to look almost identical to phase one. there are no really cultural or social signifiers to indicate life in coming back to normal in any meaningful way. no malls, no office spaces, no work spaces, any of the big movie theaters or the lifting of stay-at-home orders in general. none of that is really included in phase two. that is not to say that phase two isn't hugely important and will have a big effect on a

order and only travel for essential businesses that they have to take care of right here in the city of baltimore. like you said, those other cities and other states are opening, and if they can go, i know they'll get in their cars and go. there's a possibility of them doing that and come back and spreading, you know, whatever things they have to their family members and friends, and i'm very afraid of that. >> i'm sure you are. the president said, you probably saw his remarks, he said health officials -- he said vaccine or no vaccine, i'm quoting him now, we're back. health officials continue to point to the need for a vaccine to truly stop the pandemic. can you safely reopen completely without a vaccine? >> well, i think we can reopen our city with testing. if we can get the testing kits that we need, so we can get a handle on whether we have the majority of our population with signs of covid-19 or whether there's a decrease. no one wants to keep our city locked down, all of us want to go out safely and enjoy ourselves and go to restaurants and go to the manifeovies and t kind of things. i'm qu

already got breath already present police officers from is out and there and i imagine not just baltimore that cities across the united states of america thank you so much for the good work you do d. it's very important people learn these things always a pleasure sir thank you you guys have a blast. all right everybody that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world we are not told but we love them up so i tell you all i love you. too and i'm amazed keep on watching those talks never a great day and that everybody. else chose seemed wrong. just don't. let me. get to shape out just the attic. and it against me because the trailer. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. counting the cost and charting the future we demand any good theory to proceed it is time to assess the economic game just as the crisis changed between one company and if there is going to be a recovery what kind. and are there lessons to be learned. happen planning another one of the. way or both the food. bank itself movie theater i. was in this way got to talk so hard not to thi

morning, he reflected what president trump has been saying about states that have sanctuary cities, i believe baltimoreis a sanctuary city, that they might have to change those laws in order to get funding. what do you make of that? >> first of all, baltimore is not a suanctuary city and maryland is not a sanctuary state. >> i apologize. >> that's exactly what i'm talking about, though, jake. there are people, the democrats are saying we'll do it if we get this additional funding for these other things. the republicans in the senate are saying, we'll do it if we get these other liability issues for businesses, now the white house is talking about sanctuary cities. and i think everybody ought to stop talking about all of those things and just focus on getting people the help that they need without bringing all these other, you know, outside political issues into the debate. it's no time for divisive politics. it's time to get something done. >> so let's start with testing. you said that 500,000 coronavirus tests, you've recently acquired from south korea, are being guarded in an undisclosed located by t

we let the peaceful protests go on for a solid week in baltimore and i immediately went to the city. f baltimore for a week, talked with leaders in the community, and i think, you know, my advice to these leaders in other states would be to not let the situation get out of control. our theory was kind of peace through strength. we did not let it escalate to violence where crowds were overpowering police, but we separated the violent acts and the destructive acts from the peaceful protesting, and we tried to get in there and communicate with the citizens. frankly, many of the people in the community are also trying to stop the violence and all of the bad activity that's taking place. they don't want to see it. it's not really helpful to any part of the situation. >> just a few minutes ago i was talking with white house national security adviser robert o'brien and he told me that while in his view there might be a few bad apples, as he put it, he does not think that systemic racism is a problem in law enforcement agencies in the united states. what do you think? is systemic racism a pro

how many people would you need in a city like baltimore, what would they be doing? >> so what we're all trying to do now, right, is stay home so that we have a reduced number of case, while we build up the public health force of contact tracers to try to meet that need. so there's no one magic number of how many contact tracers you need. you just need to be monitoring your contact tracing to ensure that you're finding people on time, you're able to quarantine contacts in a timely way, so if you're able to do that, then you have enough. but i think that, although health departments all over the country do contact tracing all the time for sexually transmitted diseases and tuberculosis, covid-19 moves much faster, we have many more cases and so what we have to do is at a scope and scale that's much larger than what we have ever done before. it's really important for us to start ramping up these new contact tracing activities and our course, we developed a course on contact tracing, the basics, it's freely available to anybody who wants to cake it's on corcera, it was d

baltimore is dr. lee to win. she is a visiting professor at george washington university. today it was announced that the washington post, and served as the city health commissioner in baltimore. ask for joining us here on c-span. we appreciate it. >> happy to be with you. new want to begin with some projections from the university of washington. by august 4 u.s. death toll could exceed 100 and 47,000. when you see that number and see that projection, what is your reaction? that it is an is underestimate. i hate to say this, because that is so many people. it is unimaginable for where we are right now. if two months ago you had said that we have 80,000, more than 80,000 americans who had died from covid-19, i'm not sure how many people would have leave that. areway we are going, we already on an incline in the number of debts in the u.s.. the only thing keeping the virus and check with -- is social distancing. in the absence of a vaccine, what was keeping the virus and check with the ability for people to stay as part -- stay apart as much as possible. now that states are loosening restrictions, without the proper capabilities in place to cons

remind me where baltimore and cities across the country and the violence of the police started all ofis. look at the property damage that happened, and i -- i don't have to condone it to understand people's pain. i remember being in a similar situation, but with t, but it's the violence of the police that got us here. >> what do you see to other parts of the country that are watching and say the violence of the demonstrators, burning a police precinct, loot ag store, a pharmacy or a bank, that does a disservice to the cause and to the movement, and somebody like the president invoking the memory of george floyd saying that these "thugs" are dishonoring his memory? >> yeah. you know, when we think about it. you want to be careful about the language we use. think about violence as harm against people. the protesters have not harmed people. the violence that we recognize that got people to the street was the violence of the police. we have seen property damage, and when i think about freddie gray i said it, broken windows, not the same as broken spines. they will rebuild the targeted, re

and it won't be in blue america like in new york city or baltimore or the other cities. they've already been hit hardest in the blue america. it will be in red america. it will be in rural america, in counties that many of us have never heard of. and the likelihood there is you will know someone who is affected, you will know someone who will have died. and we are giving the wrong information. think how wrong dr. birx's model was. she revised her models. down 60,000 dead. well, today we will pass 100,000 dead, and it is only the beginning of the summer. and we must double down and rely on our governors, i guess, to prepare, because red america, rural america, where trump voters live, is going to be hit next and it's going to get hit hard. >> and jen palmieri, joe biden and dr. jill biden emerged for the first time from their home since march 15th, i believe. and it showed they were both wearing masks. they went to a war memorial in new castle, delaware. this is also almost the fifth anniversary of their son, a veteran, beau biden's death. so these are really touching --

already got breath already principle reason i was from is out and already that's not just baltimore that cities across the united states of america thank you so much for the good work you do d. it's very important people learn these things always a pleasure sir. thank you you guys have a blasphemer. all right everybody has our show for you today remember one in this world we're not told the real love them up so i tell you all i love to roll them for and i'm amazed keep on watching those hawks never a great day and night everybody. go to work. straight home. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see me very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invited to america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she did. after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers. mean the cost in charting the future we depend any good theory to proceed it is

that, i am joined by a practicing emergencyhycian who served as the health commissioner of the city of baltimoreank you for being with us. let's start on that news, the emgency use authorization of remdesivir. how signifant is tha dr. wen: this is the first iltreatment ale for covid-19 so it is really significant that at least we have somoohing in ourox to treat this disease. but we have to remember what it is good for. so far, remdesivir has only been studied for use in severely ill hospitalized patients, and it reduces their recovery time, which again, is important. but this is not a cure, it is not a vaccine or a way toti prevent from g covid-19. we still have to keep up all of these other measuressocial distancing to stop getting the virus in the first place and transmitting it to other people. anchor:er it is iting because there is a report out saying this pandemic could stretch another two years. what do you think the likelihood that is and what needs to happen to prevent that? . wen: ireally depends on whether we are able to get a vaccine in time. let's s it has taken a while to get a vac
