drew griffin reported overnight on what some people are saying. multiple sources inside the cdc say they are convinced that politics, not science is the driving force between the white house response to covid-19 and those decisions have made the effects of the pandemic worse. that's reporting from drew griffin. how do you assess this tension between this important government agency and the white house? >> uh-huh. it's gotten worse. it's gotten more public. the tension. between people within the agency who have been there and working on the issues, many for their whole careers, never mind the president's own appointee to head it. rob erert redfield. that tension spilled out to the public. it speaks to the tension between the political desires and the science. it is coming to a head now when the president and his team are desperate to reopen this country. they don't want to hear scientific data that flies in the face of what they want to do to help the economy to get back up and running. to help society get back up and running. there's no other way to say it. i mean, i think we should be blunt about it. that is what is going on here. >> look, if you want more proof th

white house. so our investigative correspondent drew griffin was talking to folks at the cdc and i mean, they say they believe politics, not science has driven the administration's decisions. they believe it's made the pandemic worse. the quotes are things like we've been working under a black cloud of an administration that doesn't have our backs and we've been muzzled. so what do you make of this? >> i mean, it's a very scary place for the united states. this isn't just today. as we know from reporting cnn and other news agencies, the cdc was well aware of what the world health organization was concerned about coming out of china. no one was listening in the white house in terms of preparing us with testing kits, with education, donald trump, the president communicating to us about what was about to happen. and then on the other side, once we all str to go inside and socially distance. the cdc has been basically late on everything. that is because of the hold that the white house has been putting on basic public health information for governors, states and individuals. the reason why we're alwa
