jake: i'm jake wynn. i am the director of interpretation for the national museum of civil war medicine. and i am in washington, d.c. kyle: and i'm in frederick, maryland. we are happy to have you joining us bright and early. today, we are talking about coffee. i've got my cup of joe right here in my appropriately branded mug. i see you got yours. jake: i'm supporting james mason -- george mason university today. kyle: you support education. so my coffee, you can see a here, it's really tasty. if you haven't tried it, give it a shot. i made it with my french press with filtered water. fresh ground is best because that releases the flavors. if you buy ground coffee, ground coffee loses its flavor. as soon as you grind it, it starts losing the flavor, so you've got to get the whole been, grind it yourself, and then we do the fresh pressed. jake, what are you drinking? jake: i've been a bad boy this morning. i'm not drinking coffee that i ground myself. i am having a cup of folgers made on a pour over. to boo

jake: yeah. there is another great book out there about westward -- trying to remember -- i think the book from npr, he wrote about about john fremont. kyle: freon? jake: no, john fremont, the explorer. before the civil war, at one point, they were crossing the river and the entire supply, you have hundreds of pounds of coffee and they lost all of their coffee. kyle: that's another interesting point. you mentioned they largely didn't have access to coffee. they were trying to rely on this other stuff. under extreme circumstances, northern troops aren't getting it either. did you have accounts of soldiers experiencing withdrawal from caffeine? it sounds like this is an important part of their diet. interesting.t's i don't have specific ones here, but when you look at accounts of soldiers and you can see when they're miserable when they don't have coffee. they write about that. i'm not sure how much they made the connection of coffee being a drug. there is the most commonly used drug in america is

that's nonpartisan, jake. now, insofar as naming each and every company, i don't think that promise was ever made. and i don't think it's necessary. i think what is necessary is to make sure that the legalities were observed, that the process of credit and lending was observed, and that people who can qualify will in fact get it. there are appeals. we've sent out about $510 billion. and it has, judging by the jobs numbers, which surprised everybody on the upside, 3 million new jobs in may, it has worked. it's probably one of the most successful rescue packages in american history. so i'm afraid i would push back on that. >> he said we will have full transparency in everything we do. and now the administration is backtracking on that. and i understand, again -- >> i don't know, jake. >> $25,000 loan, you don't need to explain when. that local business got that. >> that's exactly right. >> but the big loans, the big companies, more than $500,000, i think the american people have a right to know. >> well, i don't

i'm jake tapper.avirus infections and hospitalizations throughout much of the united states. today, the head of the world health organization giving this blunt assessment. the pandemic is, quote, not even close to being over, he said. at least 46 of the united states are seeing surges in cases or holding steady. only four showing a decline. alarming spike since this time last week. consequences could prove dead leer. health and human services secretary saying the window to take action and slow the spread is closing. an ominous warning. as governors are reversing reopening plans. there are more than 2.5 confirmed coronavirus cases with the death toll nearing 126,000 lives lost. the united states with less than 5% of the world's population has 25% of the coronavirus deaths. no way to spin this as anything other than abject failure from the trump administration and many state governments to keep their people save. cnn's nick watt in hard hit california. the state's governor saying california has seen a 4

jake?right, nick, thank you so much. >>> coming up next, the new dramatic push to keep disney's gates closed. stay with us. >>> the money lead today, keep disney closed. that's the message from some disney employees in florida who started a petition urging walt disney world to delay its scheduled july 11th re-opening. nearly 6,000 people have signed onto that petition. workers say the park is just not safe given the surge in coronavirus cases in florida, especially in nearby orange county where infections have jumped more than 400 in just one day. i want to discuss this with cnn business anchor julia chatterley. this petition from workers at walt disney world reads in part, quote, it is not fair to the people who work there to risk their lives, especially if they are at risk or have family members who are at risk. people are more important than making a profit, end quote. here you have employees of walt disney world saying out loud exactly what a lot of families fear, that it's simply too e

i'm jake tapper.he nation seems to be facing three urgent crises. one has to do with the killing of black americans by police that has spurred demands for policing reforms. there is, of course, the deadly pandemic that is still killing hundreds of americans every day with cases on the rise in more than a dozen states. and then, of course, tens of millions of americans are out of work amid fears of a lengthy recession. jointing me now to discuss all of this, but mainly the latter is the president's top economic advisor mr. kudlow. mr. kudlow, thank you for joining us. let's start with the federal government program for unemployed americans. it gives them an extra $600 a week in benefits but it's slated to run out in six weeks. the health effects, economic effects are going to last longer than that. should american families that are receiving these extra $600 checks right now expect that money to stop in august? >> well, unemployment benefits will not stop in august. what may well stop in this reform is

tell us more about that. >> that's right, jake.e're also hearing the same thing from federal law enforcement. they say that there is everyone from the far left to the far right that seems to be involved. one official said it was like sort of the olympics of radical groups that have come to try to play in all these protests around the country. we have seen some indications of antifa presence, as you pointed out, sort of an ideology that's on the left. but we've also seen some of the boogaloo boys, more the right-leaning ideology, which promotes the idea of a race war. it appears there is a lot of investigating to do to pinpoint exactly who these people are who are carrying out mayhem in the cities. >> attorney general barr has deployed federal riot teams to washington, d.c. and to miami to try to tamp down protests in those cities. what are you hearing about that? >> that's right, the bureau of prisons is sending riot teams here in washington and in miami. we know that over the weekend, the fbi's s.w.a.t. team was out late last nigh

but it is very peaceful for now, jake.se chants that we've heard throughout these protests, "black lives matter" and the name of george floyd. and jake, it was right here that that crackdown started yesterday evening in order for the president to then be able to walk across lafayette park and go right there to st. john's church for that photo op, jake. >> all right, alex marquardt, thanks so much. as alex note, yesterday we saw peaceful protesters pushed back to president trump could have that photo op in front of st. john's episcopal church. joining us now, the rector at st. john's episcopal church in georgetown but was in lafayette park yesterday to support protesters. reverend, thank you for joining us. what did you see on the ground, i guess you were on the patio of st. john's, because the armored law enforcement officers showed up with gas and flashbangs and the like. >> so what i saw was a peaceful protest. and what i had seen all day was people using that space as really a respite, a place for prayer or to sit. ther

i'm jake tapper. and you've been listening to atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms expressing condolences publicly for the police killing of rayshard brooks on friday and calling for police officers to be guardians, not warriors in the city of atlanta. the mayor announced she will sign a city of administrative orders to address policing in atlanta, specifically the use of force by police and requiring de-escalation tactics by police. 27-year-old rayshard brooks was shot by a police officer as he ran away following a scuffle with the officers. the video shows that brooks gained control of one of the officers' nonlethal tasers and fired it at the police before turning to flee. brooks died from two gunshot wounds to his back according to the fulton county medical examiner, to his back. the mayor said the use of deadly force was not justified, and the officer was fired as cnn's ryan young reports. >> this is going to be a long time before i heal. it's going to be a long time before this family heals. >> rep

come on, jake.>> what do you mean come on? he did it with russia and ukraine. >> i never heard that. i was in the room. lighthizer never heard it. he was in the room. here's the thing about bolton. here's what's so interesting about him. i think what we need to do is take a serious read at the book. everything that john bolton was pushing here right over there in the white house would've made this country less peaceful and less prosperous. he wanted to bomb north korea. he wanted to bomb iran. he wanted to keep the troops in afghanistan. you have to understand this, jake. for months towards the end of his tenure before he got fired, the president would only joke about, hey, john wants to bomb everything. okay? this is a guy who's like 1950s, dr. strange love. >> okay. >> and then, by the way, he talks about patterns of behavior in the book. guess what. when he was with bush, what did he do? he quit. he wrote a book, dumped all over george w. now he's doing it -- >> we've got to go unfortunately. pet

jake: right. [laughter] pandemic --rly the i keep using the word unprecedented -- but it is an unprecedented time. i have spent almost 20 years fighting for fiscal restraint and cutting taxes and i've always done that because i believe that helps the least among us. it creates an economy that brings everyone along with it. the long-term health of the country is at the top of the president's mind and he talks about it a lot. we will not even have an america or country in which my children, my future grandchildren, your children, your future grandchildren will even have a shot at the sort of life we have right now unless we take drastic action. again, this president has not been in a typical box. he will do what he believes is right for this country no matter who calls. so -- i trust his instinct so much and what he believes in what he's tried to do for america. i remember when he announced -- he came to an escalator and there were 17 republicans. i had never met donald trump. i will never forget --

i'm jake tapper. president trump this afternoon signed an executive order enacting new policing reforms in the wake of weeks of nationwide protests about policing in the united states sparked by the police killing of george floyd. the executive order includes some modest changes such as setting financial incentives for local police departments to establish credentialing programs. it also incentivizes police departments to ban chokeholds. president trump today claimed this moment was about finding common ground and bringing together law enforcement with the communities they are supposed to serve and protect. the president cloaked the event in full-throated pro police language defending police at large, saying that only a, quote, very tiny number of police officers are bad. the president, in addition, lied about the obama administration saying obama and biden never even tried to fix this during their eight years. in fact, the obama administration pushed many policing reform measures and its justice depa

to your point, jake, you are right. i have spent almost 20 years fighting for fiscal restraint and cutting taxes and frankly i have always done that because i believe that helps the least among us the most. that's how you create an economy that roars and brings everything along with them. ultimately, the long term healthth country is at the top of the president's mind. and he talks about it a lot. but we won't have an america or a country in which my children, my jake, anna, luke, and lily, my grandchildren, your children, future grandchildren will have a shot at the sort of life we have right now unless we take drastic action. again, this president does not fit in a typical box. he will do what he believes is right for this country no matter who calls and says it is the wrong thing to do for whatever reason. so i feel -- i feel so -- i trust his instinct so much, and what he believes in and what he is trying to do for america. i remember when he announced and he kaem down the escalator and there were 17 republicans. an

jake? >> all right, nick watt in los angeles. thanks so much. joining me, cnn chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. you heard the hhs secretary tell me that the window to get the virus under control is closing. how long do we have or might it already be too late? >> well, it depends how you define too late. i think action is always better than inaction at this point, but there's no question, jake, as we have been talking about since february and march that the earlier you act, the better. if we're thinking about this as a metaphor of a body and you're treating cancer or something, you want to treat early. we have been waiting. there's been spread of this infection through the country. so it is going to require treatment. going to require more aggressive treatment in some areas versus others. at this point, it is an existential question. what are we willing to tolerate in terms of people getting sick and possibly dying before we start imposing some of these actions, jake. we know wha

jake: we will start off with a news of the day question. obviously, the big question right now is around the protests around the country, the black lives matter protest. curious about your take on the defund the police movement, what your view one that is and changes that need to be made statewide in new jersey. gov. murphy: i would say that is, in new jersey i am incredibly gratified to say that we have had literally hundreds of protests overwhelmingly, 99 plus percent peaceful and done exactly in the spirit that you would hope. i speak as a governor and former national board member of the naacp. the state of racism is deadly -- sadly iraq -- alive and well, and this is the 105th century cents slavery came to our shores, people are angry, out waged and they will not take it anymore. i myself participated with my wife and one of our children in two of these peaceful protests, and the energy and anger is raw, but constructive. it is screaming for action. the only thing i would say about defund, it is not as a simple yes or norse yes yes or n

i'm jake tapper and we begin with the national lead. right now the public memorial for the late george floyd is under way in his hometown of houston, texas, with thousands expected to pay their respects and it's been two weeks since george floyd an unarmed black man was killed by a white police officer in minneapolis that former officer derek chauvin appeared before a judge a short time ago and it was his first hearing since being formally charged with second-degree murder and after a second straight weekend of demonstrations across the country, there is a new nationwide push bipartisan for police reforms with house democrats unveiling sweeping new legislation and in minneapolis, nine of the 13 city council members announcing they intend to dismantle, quote, policing as we know it in the city and rebuilding a new model of public safety. we're going to begin with cnn's sara sidner in houston where crowds of mourners are gathered to honor george floyd in the third and final public memorial. >> reporter: a somber homecoming for george floy

>> reporter: jake, i think it's still setting in. day federal officials here have been trying to push protesters farther and farther away from the white house. first they're in the park, and they got pushed up. then there was a fence put up around the park. now the protesters have been pushed half a block away from the park. as you can see, that has not stopped them from coming out. moments ago, there was a vigil held out here. i spoke with the rector of st. john's episcopal church, which is of course where the president held that photo opportunity a couple of days ago. he was saying that his parishioners can't even go to the church. so for yet another day, this is the sixth day of protests here in d.c., jake, these protesters have turned out in large numbers, as you can see, they're taking a knee, that speaks to the tone of these protests for the last few days which have been almost entirely peaceful, jake. >> alex marquardt across the street from the white house this afternoon. the white house publicly defended the president's cont

i'm jake tapper. you have been listening to president trump taking questions along with polish president duda as the nation faces the coronavirus pandemic and reckoning on race, president trump saying that poland will get access to any potential treatment or vaccines for the novel coronavirus. he weighed in on policing reform efforts. the president also suggesting that he will have an executive order soon having to do with monuments. cnn's kaitlan collins is in the rose garden for us. the president -- actually i'm going to go to abby phillips first. an interesting moment when the president was asked about his position on both this executive order having to do with monuments and also the democrats blocking the republican effort at policing reform. he really started railing at democrats in general saying that they wanted to de-fund or abolish police. i mean, a very, not unusual for president trump, i suppose, but unusual for a president holding a joint-press conference with a world leader, continuing to

i'm jake tapper. and we begin today with the politics lead as americans confront and in some cases try to correct this nation's past and current racial injustices, a number of president trump's advisers are encouraging him to change his tone to meet the moment and improve his political standing. cnn has learned. but president trump remains convinced, sources say, that the culture wars he has continually stoked, whether defending army bases for confederate generals or nfl players protesting police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem making them enemies are winning political strategies for him. when a fox anchor noted to the president that his first comes the looting, then comes the shooting language originated from a racist miami police chief in the 1960s, the president said he had actually taken it from frank rizzo. rizzo, we should note, is an all-together different racist, one who once ran on a campaign slogan "vote white." this afternoon more policy changes that seem a direct result of
