peter loaches an associate professor of media and public affairs at the george washington university he says even trump support base is beginning to wane. people don't see clearly to ship out of the president they don't see a sense of empathy and their peace only seeing that his claims that the pandemic was suddenly vanish magically go away or simply so be disconnected from their day to day reality and he's not offered the words that give us clear direction he's also not modeling good behavior because of the future this year is going to remind us that a lot can happen in 5 months and a vendor 3rd is just over 5 months from now so so a lot probably going to happen i think if i were advising the president i would suggest that he call more demeter that he did he reach out to bring people together to acknowledge there were a difficult time in this country that endemic with record unemployment with with social and civil strife to say you know what now as a country we've had our a political battles that we need to come together to to make sure that our families are cared for to make sure t

lipman is a serious sosias of the institute for european russian and eurasian studies at george washington university she says the putin is trying to legitimize the changes he wants by calling this popular vote there is no viable opposition to speak of certainly not at this moment what it has been seen in russia or as a leader of the alternative almost ever since he became president the kremlin has worked very hard on this image and successfully so right now putin is not threatened by any challenger public opinion in russia or is not as positive about him as it used to be but he is still regarded as by far the most popular and the most broadly supported political figure whether he is he has been to sit they sions whether he is gone certain about the future when his popularity will continue to decline is anybody's guess indeed since popularity his approval rating has gone down but it still remains at a high enough level in the what is more important nobody else's rating has gone up significantly and there is no anti put in consolidation in the country so if he has fears about his stature about his dou

a lot of times moment that day manila but you also had george washington university law professor jonathan turley he testified again whether what the u.s. park police did was lawful now in order for the park police to advance among those on those protesters they actually had to by law they have to give 3 warnings now jonathan turley called through this investigation and here's what he had to say about it. it does appear that 3 warnings were given but that is based on the government's account and once again it is an issue for you to look at it also does appear that protesters could remove themselves because they were encircled however if you look at these films there was a very rapid approach of the line to the primitive line which is beyond the sense line that line was brought back to the center line leader then rapid pushing forward is something that is a legitimate question for this committee to ask. and the committee will continue to ask it turley went on to say that whether or not tear gas and pepper spray were used that's not important since the government does have the right again to

he's director of medical lab at george washington university. he joins me now from d.c. let's start, doctor, it's great to have you, by the way, let's start with tulsa. the city had a fifth record in a week for cases. you had several trump rally organizers testing positive for goodness sake, and despite that low turnout, what do you think could happen in a few weeks as a result of this gathering? >> good evening. so despite the relatively low turnout, there were probably 10,000 people in that arena, and from looking at the crowd shots, i would say 90% of the attendees there were not wearing masks. so if you think about it, the president had an advance team in tulsa probably for about a week, and six people on his advance team contracted the virus probably in tulsa. so what does that tell us about the likely md that quite a few people in that arena unmasked and probably asymptomatic had the virus? probably very likely. so i'm very concerned that we'll see in two to three weeks a big spike in cases in oklahoma. it takes about 7 to 10 days for a person to develop symptoms i

jonathan reiner, director of cardiac catheterization at george washington university hospital.this is scary. many people have been warning people about this. we've been talking about it. people letting their guard down, are they opening up too soon. this is what cnn's reporting is. 19 states are seeing a rise in coronavirus cases while hospitalizations in 12 states are up since memorial day weekend. are we seeing the results of reopening now? >> yeah, absolutely. look, if you remember at the beginning of april there was a lot of fanfare about reopening the states. it was a well-thought out plan. it called for reopening the states when they saw 14 days of consecutive decline in cases and hospitals with capacity and robust testing yet we opened most of our states with cases still on the rise and now we're seeing the chickens come home to roost unfortunately with cases rising through a large part of the southeast. if you take new york state and new jersey out of the mix, drop states. that's the tough truth. >> is this because there are so many cases in the places that you mentione

the director of cardiac program at george washington university hospital. gentlemen, good evening to both. john, 31 states now seeing a rise in new coronavirus cases. the cdc thinks there may be ten times as many cases as reported. but here is what the president was focused on for an hour of propaganda on fox news tonight. >> you can't flip. chicago is an example. it is worse than afghanistan. you say is that a racist statement. it is not racist. frankly black people come up to me and say thank you. thank you sir for saying it. they want to help. the cities, it is like living in hell. it is very controversial to say stop and frisk. stop and frisk. rudy giuliani started stop and frisk and it was a great thing he did for new york. >> the president is downplaying the pandemic as some kids with snivels and rambling about race and black people thanking him and on and on. i would like to know who the black people are. why? why is he doing this? >> the president is fixated on two distinct ideas. one, that he had a strong economy that was going to surf to re-electi

he's a physician and assistant professor at george washington university hospital.ou know, one thing we are seeing, so many protesters, dr. phillips, without masks. not necessarily engaging in social distancing. what steps should people be taking? we're still very much in the midst of this pandemic. >> well, on the flip side of that i've actually seen a lot of protesters wearing a mask. so i want to give credit to the folks that are trying to protect themselves and trying to protect others who they're with. there certainly does need to be some better social distancing, which is really tough when you're in the middle of a demonstration like this. i got reports today of some groups in the washington, d.c. area that were out handing out ppe in the form of masks to people that were exercising their first amendment rights to be out and demonstrate. and i think that that's something that we can all take a look at as citizens to try to facilitate, people having their voice heard while at the same time trying to protect them. because it's a really difficult -- a difficult p

jonathan rhiner, a codirector of the cardiac catherization laboratory at george washington university and cared for former vice president dick cheney. numbers soaring in many states. even the european union doesn't want americans traveling there despite the vice president speaking of, quote, remarkable progress. what needs to be done like yesterday? what would it take in a perfect world with actual leadership to bring this back under control? >> reaching out to the public and getting everyone in this country to wear a face mask when they go out into public, number one. testing many more patients than we're testing now. number three, probably in selective areas probably shutting some places down because the health care systems are really at the breaking point in places like texas. so i think we have to have the political will to do all of that. we did that in the earlier part of this first wave in places like massachusetts and new jersey. we have to do it now. we've seen some rumbles of that in texas, and i hope that kind of strong leadership continues. >> with those case numbers soari

he's a professor of medicine at george washington university. you know your way around the white house with important patients. it's great to have you here. let's put up some of what we did learn about the president's health. it's limited. 73 years old. we knew that. 6'3". weight. 244 pounds. resting heart rate, 63 beats a minute. blood pressure. 122 over 79. then information about his cles ral. that's what we see. what's missing that you would expect? >> a lot. first of all, let's wind the clock back six months to november 16th. saturday afternoon in an unannounced way. the president almost in an urgent way, the president and his motorcade traveled to walter reed on a saturday afternoon for what the white house at that time billed as phase one of his medical exam. now, you need to know that the white house complex has really an extensive medical unit. most of it is housed in the eisenhower executive office building within the overall of the white house complex where the team there, really a fabulous team of military physicians and nurses and as

. >>> joining us is an emergency room physician at george washington university. dr. wynn, always good to have you on. remember way back weeks ago, there was some discussion, some hope, that summertime, warmer weather, would -- if not get this under control, at least slow the spread of infections. that hasn't played out that way. do we know why? >> well, it's actually possible that we still may be seeing a summer effect as in if it were the fall or the winter, maybe covid-19 would be even worse by now. i think it's a combination of things. we do have reopening that occurred too soon, that reopening occurred when many states were seeing the -- when we haven't been able to get this under control and i think quarantine fatigue is in place. this is to be enjoying life safely including ideally not being indoors but being outdoors and wearing masks whenever possible. >> you know, the u.s. is almost unique in having this resurgence at reopening but not having gotten the infection rate way down. now, you compare it to europe and other places like china are seeing a resurgence
