Transcripts For CNNW CNN Tonight With Don Lemon 20200514

This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. Its 11 00 p. M. On the east coast. Weve got the lathest on the coronavirus pandemic. There are nearly 1. 4 million cases of the virus here in the United States. Coronavirus death toll in the u. S. Now surpassing 84,000. As President Trump pushes for states to reopen, he is now putting some distance between himself and dr. Anthony fauci. The president saying fauci did not give an acceptable answer when he urged caution about schools reopening and suggested schools in some parts of the country should stay closed the in the fall. And sources at the white house saying the president is privately questioning whether the coronavirus death toll in the u. S. Is inflated. Fauci testified to the senate yesterday that he is almost certain that deaths from the coronavirus are being undercounted. Also the ousted vaccine chief dr. Rick bright testified before Congress Tomorrow and plans to say that the Trump Administration was not prepared for the coronavirus pandemic and that the u. S. Faces the darkest winter in modern history if a coordinated National Response is not put into place. Joining me now, cnn White House Correspondent john harwood and daniel dale. Good evening to both of you. John, over 84,000 people have now died from this virus in the United States. The World Health Organization is warning that it may never go away. President trump is spending his time undermining our countrys top Infectious Disease expert. What is going on . Whats going on is the president has, himself, psychologically, and hes trying to move his government past the issue of controlling the coronavirus and full bore on to the issue of reopening the economy. The president is running for reelection. He thinks the economy is the key to his reelection, restoring its growth. He also does not want to be blamed for having an economy with depressionlevel rates of unemployment, millions and millions of jobs lost, gdp apparently going down around 40 in the second quarter. Its a dismal situation. And hes decided that whatevers been done on the coronavirus so far is enough and hes going full on the economy. And that puts him in conflict with Anthony Fauci and other Public Health officials across the country who think we are at serious risk of falling back, seeing infections spike, and doing worse longrun damage to the economy later in the year. Don, heres the president trying to shoot down dr. Faucis concerns about schools reopening in the fall. I was surprised by his answer actually because, you know, its just to me its not an acceptable answer, especially when it comes to schools. The only thing that would be acceptable, as i said, is professors, teachers, et cetera over a certain age. I think they should take it easy for another few weeks, five weeks, whatever it may be. But i think they have to be careful because this is a disease that attacks age and it attacks health. And if you have a heart problem, if you have diabetes, if youre a certain age, its certainly much more dangerous. But with the young children, i mean and students its really just take a look at the statistics. Its pretty amazing. Its not acceptable for a doctor to raise concerns about keeping children safe at school, or it just align with trumps push to reopen the economy . The latter. When he says its not an acceptable answer, what he means is its not an expedient answer. Donald trump has proven robustly over and over that his principle concern is donald trump. Anthony fauci was speaking on behalf of the School Children and the risk to them. Donald trump does not care about those School Children. Donald trump cares about what is in his own interest. He was just a couple of weeks ago suggesting people inject themselves with disinfectant to cure the coronavirus. Thats why a vast majority of the American People dont believe what donald trump says on the coronavirus and they do believe Anthony Fauci. So, its inconvenient for donald trump to have Anthony Fauci giving his judgment about the risk for students, but that doesnt change the fact that Anthony Fauci is well motivated here in trying to figure out the best Public Health solution. Daniel, you just heard the president suggesting this virus isnt a problem for young children. What are the facts here . Don, there is truth here but theres important misinformation. The truth is the early data from around the world do show that children are significantly less likely to experience severe symptoms from Coronavirus Infections than adults are. Theyre less likely to be hospitalized, less likely to die. So, thats accurate. However, they do die. Some of them do need hospitalization. They can also pass the infection to others. In addition, dr. Fauci warned us yesterday that these are still early days. Theres a lot we dont know when he says we cant be cavalier in thinking we know how this will affect children. To that end, we know 17 states and d. C. Are looking into a mysterious inflammatory syndrome that experts think may well be linked to the coronavirus, and thats a syndrome seriously affecting children. Children are less affected. Theyre still affected. Theyre not immune. Were going to get more into the impact of coronavirus in children in just a minute. But the president also talked about testing today. I want you to take a listen to this. 10 million, we set an alltime record by far. If you look down here, these are other countries that have not done anywhere near what were doing. Were double if you add them up and double them, weve done more tests, but i cant get the press to print that unfortunately. They just dont want to print it. What are the facts, daniel . We dont want to print it because its not true at all. This is an example of this president taking a false claim and making it even falser. He used to say that the u. S. Leads the rest of the world combined. Thats not even true. Now he says were more than double the rest of the world come buned. Thats especially untrue. If you add up a bunch of other countries, again, the u. S. Is not number one compared to all of them combined. In addition, the u. S. Is not the leader per capita. Its way down the list if you look at tests per confirmed case. And again as i said on this program, the u. S. Was slow to get started in its testing which allowed the pandemic to spread further in this country than it did in other countries like south korea that the u. S. Has now passed in terms of per capita testing but lagged behind in those crucial early weeks. Daniel john daniel and john, sounds like the same person, thank you both. I want to bring in dr. Harvey fineberg. He is the chair of the Standing Committee on emerging Infectious Diseases and dr. Celine gounder. President trump said it is not acceptable that dr. Fauci raised concerns about sending cuds back to school in the fall. Are you worried about the kids spreading coronavirus at school . Any reasonable Public Health person would be concerned about children as potential spreaders of infection. And with the new evidence about this multisystem toxic syndrome also concern of risk to the children themselves. This kawasakilike disease youre referring to right now. Dr. Fineberg, another question, a new study out of the fash nal institutes of health is estimates that coronavirus could remain in the air for eight minutes after talking loudly for one minute. Does this mean we should be Wearing Masks out of the home even if no one is around . In general, this is a study that demonstrates that talking and particularly certain consonants that spread this virus can in fact produce droplets that can stay in the air for some minutes. This is especially important in closed spaces, in rooms. Its why Health Workers especially need to have that personal protective equipment when caring for patients. Out of doors, its important to wear a mask to help prevent anyone who is infected from inadvertently spreading the infection to others. But the risk out of doors is much less than it is within a closed indoor space. So, dr. Gounder, how can you open schools if droplets from talking can stay in the air for eight minutes . Well, i think we have to look at a few Different Things. One, do we is it safe to even open schools . I think secondly, is there a way to decrease the density of children in a classroom . Is there a way to improve ventilation in the classroom . And should all of the children and teachers and staff be Wearing Masks in these settings . And i think its one thing to ask maybe a child of the age of 13 or more to wear a mask and to abide by these things. But to ask a 5yearold to do this i think is going to be a lot more challenging. So, you know, i think theres what is medically advisable and then theres whats logistically possible and what is safe for the general public. What about school buses, dr. Gounder . I mean, loading kids, unloading kids, the proximity, sanitizing the buses. I mean, theres so many questions. Well, and the school bus is basically a really crowded environment. Youre not going to be able to do social distancing in that environment. The school bus driver, im certainly concerned about in that setting. Would you be able to open all the windows and vicinity late that way . Then theres the risk of what kids are bringing home to their parent, and their parents are the one who we know are at risk. And children, yes, are at risk too. But the parents are definitely at risk and the rest of their extended family. So, to me this looks like a vector of infection in the school buses. Dr. Fineberg, another question for you. This is a new study. It found cases of this we were talking about this inflammatory syndrome among children appear to increase 30 fold in the bergamo province of italy shortly after the Coronavirus Spread on to the region. Could it be more prevalent than we realized . This problem has expressed itself in italy, and frankly its also appeared now in new york where we had many cases of infection. The exact frequency with which it occurs is not really known mainly because we dont really have a good baseline of the total number of children infected. There are some who develop this syndrome without ever having previously ever shown the symptoms of being infected with coronavirus but now develop this syndrome and have had the infection. So, it is a real problem. The exact frequency remains to be determined, but something to be very concerned about. Dr. Gounder, cnn has learned that the cdc is prepared to learn doctors about this mysterious inflammatory syndrome that infects children that is believed to be linked to coronavirus. Your hospital has been dealing with some of these cases. What are you learning about this illness . So, kawasakis is basically a disease of two different pathways. Its the immune system is out of control, is attacking the body, and its also a disease of inflammation of the blood vessels. And that description is not just about kawasakis in children. Its really what coronavirus looks like in adults as well. So, its really a spectrum of disease, and this particular syndrome in children is part of this whole spectrum of covid that we see in people in general. So, its not surprising that were seeing this, but it is very concerning that were start rg to see this in children too. All right. Thank you both. Appreciate it. Well see you soon. And be sure to watch mlb commissioner rob man frin, activist Greta Thunberg and more. Theyre joining anderson and dr. Sanjay gupta for a new coronavirus town hall. Make sure you tune in for that.

Tensions rising in south dakota where governor kristi noem who has threatened to sue the oglala sioux tribes over check points. The governor says check points are unlawful and interfering with traffic. But the tribes say that they are the best tool they have to protect their communities from this virus. Joining me now is the president of the oglala sioux try, julian bear runner. We want to get your perspective on the air for this. You say that the check points are necessary because governor noem isnt doing enough to protect Tribal Health and safety. What does she need to do . She i really feel that the governor needs to really have a serious consultation with the tribe and not try to dictate to us as tribal leaders what is in the best interest of our people but rather listen and support the tribes because we live here. We know our people. Ive been born and raised here. And nobody we involve our spirituality within our actions. And thats what helps lead and guide us. And, you know, that has got us through history to today. And so we incorporate a lot of our traditions with the decisions that we make as tribal leaders. So, you know, my advice to her is to really sit down and take her lead from the tribes, listen to us, and support us. How are you conducting these checks because governor noem says that youre keeping essential workers from moving freely. Is that true . No, sir, that is not true. We have a system, a process, that is set up that anybody that is providing services or business here on the reservation, theres a permit process so that they can freely move through those check points. And so that comes from the secretary of the oglala sioux tribe. She process those applications and i sign off on the final approval and we ensure that the leadership or their departments or their functions, their leadership or their functions are the ones that reach out to the tribe to send us a list of the times that we can be expecting them, whether it be 8 00 to 4 30 or 24 hours a day so that they dont run into those stopping mechanisms where they have to answer the questions, the health care questions. You and leaders of the Cheyenne River sioux tribe say medical resources are very limited. An outbreak would be devastated. The closest icu, hours away. Is standing your ground a matter of life or death . Indeed, sir, it definitely is a life or death situation for us. Right now here on the reservation we currently have four ventilators that is being provided through the form of the Indian Health service which is a treaty obligation of the United States to provide us that health care. I reside amongst 30 plus tribal members that reside correction, 30,000 tribal members that live here on the reservation. We have 45,000 enrolled members, and we have a service to each and every one of those individuals. But how is four ventilators going to really assist if this pandemic or this virus hits the reservation . And a great majority of my membership suffer . And right now we currently have positive cases here on the reservation and theyre not requiring those intensive medical procedures at this moment. But if you look at our one of our southern relatives, the navajo nation, Indian Health service, the United States government has a treaty obligation to them as well. Its very fearing for me as a tribal leader because i have an obligation to look out for the health and welfare of every enrolled tribal leader. This conflict comes at a time when the governor refused to issue an official stayathome order and south dakotas new covid cases are on the rise. There are now more than 3,700 cases in the state. Do you worry about this virus, that it could get out of control . I definitely you know, all of our tribal programs, all of our treaty obligations that the United States government has to the First Nations people, the indigenous people, is already underfunded. Our roads, our infrastructure, our Ambulance Program is underfunded. Were short staffed. Every every opportunity the government has, they give us less than what they are required to give us. President bear runner, your tribe on monday issued a threeday lockdown on the Pine Ridge Reservation saying that at least two people there have recently tested positive for covid19. Do you have the tests and manpower to Contact Trace, to prevent an outbreak that you need . We need more. You know, we need more funding to purchase those tests. But right now Indian Health services is currently declaring what they have in order to begin these Contact Trace tests. And with these two individuals that tested positive, its very unfortunate that they went through our we dont know. We dont know where theyve been. We dont know and with our jail systems, with the close contact, with the underfunding and the shortage of housing here on the reservation, theres some homes where nine families live in one home. So, we dont even have were trying to quickly establish quarantine sites for these individuals. And yorks y and, you know, its causing us to quarantine one home, and our homes are in cluster housing. So, i fear as a tribal leader that if this pandemic gets out of control and we dont get a grasp on this immediately, that, you know, we may have to quarantine a whole entire community which would be hundreds of people. If we had the resources, we could really narrow this down per individual. Well, president bear runner, we appreciate you joining us. Thank you so much. Please be safe, okay . Yes, sir. I appreciate you. My people appreciate you and this opportunity. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next more on the story we have been following for you, the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery.

Roundup for lawns is formulated to kill lawn weeds to the root without harming your grass. Roundup brand. Trusted for over 40 years. As the investigation into the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery continues, those who love him feel the pain of his killing every single day. Tonight i want to talk to coach jason baun, ahmauds football coach in georgia. Im so sorry for your loss. I know you were there last night as we were doing the interview. So, we really appreciate it. Ahmaud was one of your players. I know you want people to know more about him than that horrible tape. Tell us about ahmaud. Ahmaud was a great soul, great smile that lit up a room. Ahmaud had a beautiful gift that teaches him to relate. Some kids you love on a little bit more. Ahmaud, he could sense when youre having a down day or the lesson plan wasnt going to right. He would always do something quirk ki or weird to lift your spirits up. He used to love to imitate me all the time. If i was in the hall trying to look real serious, he would come sit beside me and say kauch vaughn, im you today just to put a smile on my face. Just a wonderful soul. How hard is this for you to see all these tapes coming out . I mean, the one where ahmaud stops and walks into this open construction site, looks around, and the day that he was shot, people are drawing all kinds of conclusions. But you know him best. What do you want people to know who might have had the impression that he was doing something wrong here . Oh, man, i mean, every man knows that pivotal time in their life when theyre around 25, you know, your life starts to change. You start to think about family and marriage and Different Things like that. You know, a light bulb goes off in your life. He was 25 years old. Hes a hometown kid. He has his girlfriend also from brunswick, just a hometown story. And we knowing ahmaud, he probably stood in that house. You see him stand there stand still. Hes probably standing there imagining how his wife can one day be, him and his girlfriend at the time just visualizing how life can be. Im a southerner, so when houses are under construction all the time, we walk into houses all the time. Maybe its just a southern thing. We just do. Even houses in my neighborhood now. I clearly wouldnt do it now. But its just its just something you know, people just kind of do it around here. Yeah. You know, he was nobodys perfect. He was not a perfect person, but you say he was a good person. Awesome person, awesome person. You know, unlike what roddys lawyer said, glynn county has Great Teachers here who care about their students and their education. Thats just a falsehood. Thats probably not the falsehood youre going to hear from roddys lawyer. But we loved ahmaud. Maude used to run. Hell stop. Hell play basketball with the kids until they got tired and then go off on his run. I talked to a lady in her community and her morning routine was to walk her dog. He would see ahmaud every morning and she realizes now shell never see that smile again. Shell never see him nod his head as he jog by. He was just a key part of our community. What do you make of you mentioned roddy. Listen, we dont know what hes involved his attorney said hes not involved. And you mentioned the interview that he did here on cnn and his attorney saying talk about the teachers and the School System and that he had a high school education, that he what did he say he was a mechanic. Basically, anyway im not get sboog that. But what do you make of him bringing up ahmauds history or past and all of that . I think its very interesting that a lot of times in cases like this, people begin to question the past of the victim instead of let me ask you why im saying that. Im saying that because i read a post of d. L. Hughley. He said he is a suspect in his own murder. Those are his words. And i thought that was very profound. Again, im not saying it was a murder, but he was gunned down on video tape. But go on. Thats why im asking that, coach. Oh, yeah, i completely understand. But i mean, i guess when you put lives together, you just try to you just try to throw and string everything along with it. The ahmaud campaign has been vocal against the attempts to attack his character. The fact you have to bring up something from eight years ago which had nothing to do with what happened on that day, i mean america has seen that tape. And on that tape, out of all the gentleman on that tape, the only one that was a lawabiding citizen during that time was my football player, he was the only lawabiding student during the time on that tape. Coach vaughn, i said to you last night to keep these young people close and take care of them. Im going to say that again to you, and take care of the family. And send them our thoughts. And thank you so much for what youre doing. Thank you for appearing on cnn. No problem. And for speaking out for this young man. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Youre welcome.

A North Carolina corrections officer is out of a jobs, facing misdemeanor charges after he and about 14 other people allegedly harassed a black teenager they mistakenly believe was involved in a girls disappearance. 18yearold Daniel Shepard and his mother say some of the men were armed. Joining me now is monica shepard, Dameon Shepard and their attorney. Glad to have you all of you on. Dameon im going to start with you. Bring us back to may 3rd, please. What happened that day . Around 10 00 i hear some very loud banging on the door. So, me being the person i am, i run to the door without checking, without hesitating because the type of neighborhood i live in. I was expecting someone to come to the door banging like that looking for help. I opened the door without hesitating. As soon as i open the door im in shock. I see people with guns and theres an officer standing in front of me and hes the man that came into my house. So, all of it was wild. What was going through your head when you first saw these armed people at your home . You said it was a lot, but what were you thinking . I was thinking okay, why are people here . What is going on . I just i hope theyre not here to going through my head. Monica, when did you realize that something was wrong . When i came out of my room. Like he said, it was it was around 10 00, a little after, and i was asleep. And i heard the banging on the door, as well. I looked out of my window, which was facing the front of my house, and i saw a group of people. All caucasian. And i saw the long flashlights. When i come out of my room, into the living room, damien already opened the door. And i noticed that they were trying to force their way in, and he was trying to close the door on them, to keep them from coming in the house. What happened when the group, monica, realized that they were at the wrong home . Well, they were apologetic. They were saying that they were story. But, by that time, of course, things are transpired from the time that i got to the door and to the time they realized that theyre at the wrong house. And we were all damien and i were bother upset and afraid. Yeah. So, james, listen. The the former sheriffs deputy, who harassed the shepherds, jordan kidda, did an interview today with the port city daily. His family was there, too. I want you to take a listen to how he described the incident. So we went to the address. A discovered this guy was not there. He did not live there and he did not live at the address. There was no accusations. There was no argument. There was no there was no reason for us to be angry. Or no it wasnt about racism. It was about looking for our whats your response, james . Well, first and foremost, ive seen that statement. Ive seen the comments their attorney made about the comments ive made, which i am aufrpdoff by, obviously. But, the fact of the matter is, in this state, within this story, they say the county Sheriffs Department was involved in this process. And whats just unacceptable, on so many levels, is that this is a group thats taken the law into their own hands. Going out into the community, and terrorizing people. Whether they realize it or not. I mean, when you walk to a black familys door and you have a gun. You have the sheriffs outfit on. You have a gun on your side. And youre backed up by people with a shotgun, an assault weapon, what the heck do you think is going to be the response . There is no excuse. They can they can say whatever they want to. There is, absolutely, no excuse for that behavior. You just i mean, we live in the United States of america. If youve got something youre worried about, then you turn to the police officers, Sheriffs Department, whatever, but you dont take the law into your own hands. And thats what they did. They cannot back away from that, any way, whatsoever. And its disgusting. Its just we cannot live in this country that way. Its too much going on. I agree that racism is a terrible problem, that we need to come together the way the White Community has come out in support of the shepherd family afterwards has been great. But it doesnt make up for what happened that night. Made a horrible, horrible mistake. Before we run out of time. Monica, heres what the kita family wants to say to you and damien. I mean, i feel like we would just want to speak to them, family to family. You know, father to father, mother to mother. This was not about racism. We are not racist. Were good people. Will you sit down with them . Dont have a reason well, i cant really say that im at a point where i can sit down. And i never said anything about there being racism issues. You just dont come to peoples homes, with guns, and try to force your way into their house. And they kept pointing at my son, saying, you know, accusing him of being the individual that they were looking for. And, you know, the bottom line is, you came to my house with guns and you were trying to get in my home. So whether its its an issue of breaking the law. Yeah. Its just interesting you have to you know, these people who are the people in georgia with the guns, who are you know, and, then, you got the people here with guns, as well. When all you have to do is call Law Enforcement if you have an issue. Thank you, all. I appreciate you joining us. Please, keep us updated. Thanks, so much. Thank you very much, don. Thank you. Appreciate it. I have some breaking news i want to tell you about. Federal agents, tonight, seizing a cell phone belonging to senator richard burr. Chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee.
