his announcement apparently was news to the yankees. he said the team had invited him to yankees stadium next month. the claim came just before dr. anthony fauci threw out the first pitch for the washington nationals. but according to "the new york times," the yankees never invited president trump. he has since announced that he can't make the trip to new york because he's too busy. >>> coming up, regis philbin's special appearance on "jeopardy." >>> also ahead, the surprising top destination right now for americans desperate for a summer getaway, but is it safe? to be honest... a little dust? it never bothered me. until i found out what it actually was. dust mite droppings? ewww. dead skin cells? gross! so now, i grab my swiffer sweeper and heavy duty dusters. dusters has three layers that grab, trap and lock away gross dust. gotcha! and, for dust on my floors, i switch to my sweeper. the textured cloths grab, trap and lock dirt and hair... no matter where dust bunnies hide. no more heebie jeebies. glad i stopped cleaning and started s

anthony fauci that gets the honor at tonight's yankee game in washington.t's a-rod who is calling tonight's game, the nationals and yankee game. thank you for joining us. were you worried there was not going to be any season at all? >> absolutely. it's a miracle we're here. just a tremendous job by the players and the clubs to get together and really figure out this protocol and to be the first out of the gates in front of basketball and the nfl. it gives us a tremendous competitive advantage and its america's past ti america's pastime, and it's a comfort food for america and hopefully tonight we will be putting on a show. >> juan soto tested positive, and he was practicing with his teammates, i assume. if you were playing would you be willing to take the field? >> yeah, i would be worried. the managers said it's a risk everybody knows they are taking and as aget the multiple test back, i don't think anybody can feel comfortable. listen, everybody is at risk and we have to think about health is always first. >> the fans contribute so much to the excitement

and i think i'm doing that on august 15th at yankee stadium. >> hmm. see that one. and then he took to the white house lawn, along with yankees legend mariano rivera to meet with little leaguers. still not a mask in sight. does that look like social distancing to you? you saw those yankees and those national players taking a knee before tonight's game, okay? there's a lot more to the fight against racial injustice in this country. i'm tackling those tough conversations about being black in america on my new podcast, "silence is not an option." you have to listen to this one because my special guest this episode is nba legend and activist kareem abdul jabbar. you want to hear from him. it's on apple podcasts and your favorite podcast app. >>> so, back to the business at hand. the president scraps the big finale of his convention in jacksonville over coronavirus concerns, but he is still pushing to reopen schools. when is he gonna face the reality on that? kaitlan collins, dana bash, they'll discuss. we will next. when we started carvana, they told us that selling car

so the yankees should have called the president of the united states.rld to throw out a first pitch and not this second rate guy named fauci. they should have picked him. and they didn't. in his mind they should have and they did. and i turned it down because i was too busy. i win that moment. i forget about it and move onto the next. he lived his whole life this way. it would be an exhausting thing for you or me. i suspect mr. trump is energized every morning like a boxer again ready to fight. >> he is a new yorker or was. he wanted the yankees to do it. but doesn't want to live here. it was the nationals who called dr. fauci. it's interesting because the most important person right now i would think is dr. fauci. whether the president likes it or not. that's who everyone is listening to for advice. and following his lead. i want to let me read something about mary trump. his niece said in the book. donald is not weak his ego is a fragile and must be bolstered every moment. he knows he's nothing of what he claims to be deep down. i know she's family. b

at yankee stadium. >> that maybe an alternative fact too. the "new york times" is reporting it came as surprise to the yankees and a white house staff. the president was so annoyed by the first pitch he had the aid to call the yankees to take them up on a long standing offer to throw a pitch. and never set a date. then he cancelled conveniently claiming he's too busy handling the coronavirus. can't throw out the first pitch. he only really seems to care about the virus when it threatens him politically. that's exactly what we see in our new poll. take a look. joe biden leading the president in a critical battleground state in arizona, florida and michigan. states that he carried in 2016. but the president says he has his own polls that tell him exactly what he wants to hear. >> we have polls that show many leading in almost every swing state. and substantially in other states by even more than i won in 2016. florida for example you have thousands of votes out of the ocean on the intercoast. you look at states like wise you have thousands of

>> he's a great friend of mine from the yankees. he asked me to throw out the first pitch, and i think i'm doing that on august 15th at yankee stadium. >> all right, it turns out, that was a surprise to the president's staff and to the yankees. "the new york times" reports the team had not invited him. they write, "mr. trump had been so annoyed by dr. fauci's turn in the limelight, an official familiar with his reaction said, that he had directed his aides to call yankees officials and make good on a longtime standing offer from mr. levine to throw out an opening pitch. no date was ever finalized." dr. fauci threw out the opening pitch at the season opener and is now getting more attention for that, let's just say, less-than-perfect throw. and then there's a fauci baseball card, breaking sales records in the first 24 hours it was available. fauci talked to wolf blitzer about his performance on the mound last night. >> i feel a little embarrassed and humbled. i hope that yogi berra and mickey mantle are not looking up at me saying, w

last night's yankee's game postponed. the marlins left the clubhouse the yankees were to use.re ready to go to fill in for these type of situations. the team being hampered by coronavirus cases for a long time is something they're going to need to address. >> i think that a team losing a number of players that rendered it completely non-competitive would be an issue that we would have to address and have to think about making a change wlrks that was shutting down a part of the season, the whole season. that depends on the circumstances. >> now something else that seems to need to be addressed is what is the threshold to postpone a game. the marlins went ahead and played sunday knowing they already had a number of positive tests along the team and it turns out the players made the call on a group text chat. >> we made that decision that we didn't want to continue and we'll play the game as hard as we can. we never thought we wasn't going to play. >> dodgers pitcher david price challenging commissioner manfred on twitter saying part of the reason he decided to sit out the season

fauci's first pitch, he had aides call the yankee -- the yankees to take them up on a longstanding offer to throw out an opening pitch. even though they had never set a date. and then, the president cancelled. conveniently, claiming he is too busy handling the coronavirus. can't throw out the first pitch. but he only, really, seems to care about the virus when it threatens him, politically. not seems. that's when he cares about it. when it threatens him politically. and that's exactly what we see in our new cnn polls. okay. take a look. joe biden leading the president. leading in a critical battleground state in the states of arizona, florida, and michigan. states that he carried, by the way, in 2016. but the president says he's got his own polls. polls that, apparently, tell him exactly what he wants to hear. >> we have polls that show me leading, in almost every swing state. and substantially, in other states, by even more than i won in '16. when you look at florida, as an example, you have thousands of boats out on the ocean out on the intercoastal. you have thousands of boats and the

. >> so, it turns out, that was a surprise to the white house staff and to the new york yankees. "the new york times" reports that the team did not invite him on that day. the "times" reported "mr. trump had been so annoyed by dr. fauci's turn in the limelight" -- remember, fauci threw out the first pitch in washington, d.c. "an official familiar with his reaction said that he had directed his aides to call yankees officials and make good on a longtime standing offer from mr. levine to throw out an opening pitch. no date was ever finalized." again, remember, dr. anthony fauci threw out the first pitch at the washington nationals season opener. he didn't do great, right? in fact, quite badly. but now he's getting a lot more attention. even then, there's a baseball card coming out from tops that has set new records. in the first 24 hours it was available, it sold more cards, i think, than any other card ever. fauci talked about this and his performance on the mound with wolf overnight. >> i feel a little embarrassed and humbled. i hope that yogi berra and mickey mantle are not look

last week, trump tried to undercut fauci again, announcing he would throw out the first pitch at yankeetadium, just an hour before fauci did the same in washington. a senior administration official now telling cnn trump's announcement caught white house officials by surprise because there was no agreement with the yankees. according to the "new york times," trump was so annoyed with fauci's turn in the limelight that he told aides to call the yankees and make good on a longstanding offer from the team's owner. days later, trump canceled, citing his strong focus on coronavirus. and, wolf, you heard vice president joe biden criticizing president trump's response to the pandemic just a little while ago during a speech in delaware in responding to questions from reporters. one of the things he was talking about was the lack of a coherent message from the president. and he was arguing that the president's long track record of misinformation and false statements makes americans less likely to trust the president. we are expecting to see the president once again during one of his coronavirus b

the aren't yankees/phillies game is cancelled tonight is the yankees would have to use the same clubhouse marlins used when they played the phillies. and all the phillies players need to be tested. even with the best intentions, the most humane intentions, it's a tightrope walk. it's a fingers crossed situation. there's the possibility that eventually somewhere along the line there's going to be a match that turns into a tinder box and into a forest fire. i hope not. you know how much i love baseball. every time i crossed paths with your dad, that's all we talked about. i hope they can get it done, but there's a lot of needles to thread. >> they have access to the kind of testing where they can get answers fast. and they still have to deal with it. >> most communities can't. and they knew this was going to happen. so they have different layers of insulation and had to deal with the perm u takings of the outcome. with our schools we have none of that. we can't get fast test results, we don't know what to do if we do, every community is its own league, nightmare scenario. now the nfl says n

suddenly when the fauci thing announces, trump announces he's throwing out the first pitch at yankee stadium. >> i've agreed, randall levine asked me to throw out the first pitch, and i think i'm doing that on august 15th at yankee stadium. >> well, that announcement caught his own staff by complete surprise. they knew nothing about an invite by the team. it turns out trump had not been invited by the yankees to appear on that day, the "times" reporting the president misleading the public on this area because he was frustrated about fauci getting the live pitch. this should be frustrating to anybody. whatever you think about president trump, his policies. he's facing a deadly virus and worried about being upstaged by an epidemiologist throwing out a baseball pitch. whatever you think of trump, this is unsettling at the least. i want to go to kaitlan "outfront" at the white house. we just saw your exchange with the president when you talked about the yesterdaybility of that video, laying out this person and other things they have claimed. he abruptly ended the news conference, turned

lie about whether he was invited to throw out an opening pitch according to the "new york times" at yankee stadium. what do we know? >> reporter: right. that obviously is another story. this is something that the "new york times" reported on essentially saying that the president was upset about all of the publicity that dr. fauci was getting when he threw out that pitch last week in the game between the washington nationals and the new york yankees. the president then indicating publicly that he, too, had been invited to throw out the first pitch at a yankees game. apparently that was not true. while there was an open invitation to throw out a first pitch, they hadn't settled on a date at all so there was surprise among yankees organization, surprise here as the white house staffers tell us they didn't know anything about it, and then to make matters worse the president later essentially cancelled the invitation that he had given himself by saying he's going to be too busy dealing with the coronavirus. jim? >> okay. joe johns, thank you very much for both of those updates. let's go to flor
