CNNW CNN Tonight With Don Lemon July 9, 2020

Not say anything and just let people see themselves. Just wear a mask. You have to wear a shirt. Wear shoes. You cant go without pants or i mean, come on. Whats wrong with people. We have a will the more of this go on and ill wear a maga hat. It will be true. Well have to build greatness again. This is the most pathetic display. Elected ohio state representative. Well. People do anything for the job. You know what im saying. Its where we are now. I wonder looking over history when people five years from now, ten years from now. When people look back i wonder what theyll say about thepss. Roll the video tape. And the pictures and the history backs and magazines of them at the rallies. Not social distancing. Were killing ourselves. We have met the ultimate enemy. It is us. Thank you, sir. Listen. Whatever. You know how i feel about you. Ill take it. Get on your way. Thank you. Love you. This is cnn tonight. And this is the worst day yet. Of the pandemic in the country. Im not lying. The day we passed 3 million cases. That means 25 of cases worldwide are right here. In the u. S. Where we live. Now, the death toll nationwide over 132,000. The numbers tell the story of how the virus is spreading. Like wild fire. Across the south and across the west. Can we put the map back up. Look at that. Look how its spreading. Thank you. Look at that map. Look at the red and orange. Still a hoax . Still have it under control . In a good place . Florida Miamidade County has seen a 70 increase in patients being hospitalized. And the president is headed there on friday. Not to address the skyrocketing coronavirus numbers. No, no, no. Hes going for a meeting on drug trafficking. Hospital rates are up 44 in california. Over the past two weeks. Texas reporting highest number of coronavirus deaths in a single day. Louisiana my hometown. Home state. Has lost all gains it made in june against the virus. And im looking at you louisiana folks. I know a lot of you. Some of you i know really well. You think its a hoax. Youre telling me you dont believe in masks. Youre traveling to other places not realizing theres a quarantine. You know who you are. And testing. We dont have the testing with e need. People are lining up for hours. Four months after the president false falsely promised anybody who wants a test gets a test. Americans are dying. More lives are at risk. This is no time for the president of the United States to be going against this country top doctors and medical experts. The president of the United States going against top doctors and medical experts. Not when warnings could be the difference between life and death. Thats exactly what hes doing. Denying science and fact. And openly at odds with dr. Fauci. A virus rages. You think he would be in front. He would be front and center at the Coronavirus Task force briefing. Meaning dr. Fauci. Nope. Nowhere to be seen. And not by choice. Dr. Fauci who the president has been complaining about dmind closed doors for months was sidelined today, everyone. Sidelined exactly when we need to hear from him the most. That was clearly a deliberate move by the white house to take the spotlight off the doctor who is telling the nation what the president doesnt want us to hear. He doesnt want you to hear it. He wants you to stew in the ignorance that he perpetrates. Sources telling us dr. Fauci was told to join the meeting by video conference. Keeping him off the briefing stage. That didnt stop him from saying this to the wall street journal pod cast. We have never gotten out of the first wave. I would call it a surging of cases within the context of a wave that never went away. So i wish we would stop talking about waves and looking at the reality of where we are. Dr. Fauci says he wishes we would look at the reality of where we are now. Dr. Fauci, we see that reality. We really do. But its really about President Trump with his eyes squeezed shut. This is a president who is consistently denying reality. Constantly doing it. He can actually bring himself to listen to his own medical experts he would unfollow their urgent warnings. He would follow. Hes unfollowing them right now. If thats a word. He wouldnt be ignoring guidance on mask. Host mexicos president with no social distancing. Holding Campaign Rallies like the one he has planned in New Hampshire on saturday. A rally the governor says he wont attend because of the virus. Or the one in tulsa last month. One Health Official say likely contributed to the surge in new cases there. Demanding that the nation schools reopen ready or not. Threatening to cut off funding if they dont. Threat or no threat he cant up and cut federal funding for schools. The president tweeting this morning that he disagrees with the cdc on tough and expensive guidelines for opening schools. Translation. He disagrees with science. He disagrees with fact. He disagrees with anything that he thinks can get in the way of his reelection. Thats all it is. Which doesnt bode well for anybody hoping against hope leader will get their act together before it is too late. A few hours after that tweet the Vice President backtracked saying the cdc will issue new glins on reopening schools next one. Speaking to an audience of one in the white house. The president said today we dont want the guidance to be too tough. Next week issuing a new set of tools. Too tough. Too tough. The president doesnt want schools work too hard to keep teachers and students safe. Parents want kid to go fo school. Plenty of kid want it too. After months of staying home. We want them to be safe. We dont want them forced into a classroom because the president thinks it will help him in november. I think it will be good for them politically. They keep the schools closed. No way. Well put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools to get them open. And its very important. You try to tell kids im not a parent. Im an uncle. Baby sit a lot. Tell kids to stay in one place . Social distance . How do you do that on the school bus. Always grievances. Always accusing enemies of putting politics of whats right. Projecting much . Trying to rewrite reality. All to get himself reelected. When it comes to the deadly virus thats putting everyone in danger, he said this to real clear politics about reelection. He said quote i want it with all my breath. With every ounce of what i represent. The question is, what is he willing to do to get it . He didnt say i want everyone to be safe. For everyones health to be good. I want with all my breath to be reelected. Tonight you know, please listen to me, well take on a controversy that is raging in the sports worltd and beyond. Superstar jackson sparking out rage with antisemitic social media posts for which he later apologized. I often say in person and here that black people and jewish people have more in common than not. Bigots hate us for no rational reason. Ignorance. That doesnt need to be an oppression competition between jewish people and africanamericans. Genocide through slavery or holocaust is still genocide. Murder. Let us be real, you never want to endorse genocide. You dont ever. No human being should ever get anywhere near that. You should rethink being on social media if thats what you post. Even if you apologize later. Every thought in your head doesnt need to be shared on social media. Former nba player Steven Jackson got in the middle of this saying he supported jackson. He knows about prejudice and pain. Calling george floyd his brother. Hes going to join me tonight and well talk about this. What he meant and what he is saying now. These are by the way the kind of tough conversations about being black in america that i have on my pod cast. Called silence is not an option. I hope youll check it out and stay tuned. Well go through all of this and dig deep. How much trouble are we in with the president sidelining dr. Fauci in the middle of a deadly pandemic. Well discuss.

Passing another grim milestone now more than 3 million case of coronavirus since the pandemic began more than 132,000 deaths. Cases spiking in 35 states. President trump feuds with dr. Fauci and the cdc. Good evening to you. I hope youre doing well. Dr. Fauci was noticeably absent from the task force briefing. Why was the nations top Infectious Disease expert not there . So, there was a meeting right before that, it was at the department of education. Where you saw the briefing happening with the Vice President and several other people. Dr. Fauci was back here at the white house because he was told to join that meeting from the situation room. By video teleconference type situation. Dh is interesting because the department of education is only a mile and a half down the road yet fauci was told to go to the situation room and watch the briefing from there to participate in the meeting from there and of course he couldnt come to the briefing after ward because he wasnt in there. If theres a reason he wasnt invited to the department of education the task force hasnt provided it. It raises the question of is this because dr. Fauci has been one whosoever in the past hasnt been afraid to break with the president and say he doesnt agree with the assessment of where the nation stands when comes to coronavirus. The president is trashing the cdc School Reopening guidelines. The cdc will update them . This raises questions whether reopening plans will be on science or politics. Whats notable is the Vice President directly tied it had to the president saying he felt the guidance so far was too tough. Thats what he said today. It raises questions of why wasnt the president aware before the cdc posted the guidance. We asked the white house what is it exactly the president doesnt like at the guidance . When you look at it its social distancing, refitting classrooms so students can social distance. New ventilation. And they only gave us one reason. That was for example students being urged by the guidance to bring lunch to school. Which the white house said wasnt feasible because students do rely on schools to get lunch. That was the only reason they gave us when we asked multiple times what are all the issues that he has with the guidance. Quickly. The president gave a joint statement at the white house. With mexican president. And theres a dinner at the white house . Are people Wearing Masks and distancing . No. If you look at the delegation in the rose garden they were not Wearing Masks of course we know the u. S. Side hasnt been doing so. Mexico wasnt either. The white house justifies this saying everyone got tested and arrived here at the white house. Mexican president was tested before he left mexico. It is notele that the president is hear welcoming the mexican president and joining him. The canada Prime Minister was invited it was a join celebration of the trade agreement. He declined to come because of the coronavirus. I want to bring in a former professor at harvard medical school. Thank you for joining us. Were hearing two different messages from President Trump and dr. Fauci. Listen to this. I think we are in a good place. Were facing a serious problem. Were almost up to 40 million. In testing. And 40 Million People which is unheard of. This is the thing that is a little bit concerning. We have 37 million tests have been performed. The question is when you get on the phone and talk to the people in the community there are lapses there where the dots are not connected. The chart of death. Deaths are way down. Its a false narrative to take comfort in a lower rate of death. My question is how worried are you that dr. Fauci hes the expert in this, he wasnt at the briefing and president is openly disagreeing with him. I have worked with dr. Fauci for 30 years. During the aids epidemic i worked with him closely. We all are worried. Its not just dr. Fauci. Every american at this point is worried about whats happening. Whether they are voicing that worry or not. You cant look at 3 Million People infected and 60,000 new infections yesterday detected. That actually if you translate that that means there are probably 20,000 new people 12,000 new people going into the hospital. Of that at least 1,000 people die. Just because they were diagnosed today. We know that our states are going to Something Like called crisis standards of care. They will be turning away people because they dont think they have a chance to live. Theyll be turning away people because they are old. Because they dont think its worth they cant afford. Its worth saving. They dont have the facility. We shouldnt be talking about restricting things. We should be talking about getting more aid to the Southern States that are in desperate need. Southern and western. And if we have the map you can put it up and the red and orange. If you listen to the president , and many in the administration or his apologists. Theres a map. Plus 50 with the red and orange is plus 10 to 50 in the country. New cases in the past week. The previous week. That is just extraordinary. Its astounding. I want people to think about something else. We have seen this cdc guidance reversed before. Remember when it had to do with reopening the cdc had one set of guidelines and asked to rewrite the guidelines by the white house . And they did. And look at what happened. Well, were asked the cdc is being asked to rewrite the guidelines for school opening. What do you think could happen then . Thats what i want to know. He is really pushing hard to send students back to school. So many considerations. Students and teachers. Siblings and parents at home. All the workers. School bus drivers. Lunchroom. How do parents know if its safe to send kids back to school and teachers know its safe to hold a class . Go on, please. First thing i would say is everybody wants the kids to go back to school. We know we need it for the future of the nation. We need it for sanity. Of the children and the parents. It is a very difficult situation. We all want to do it. We want to do it safely. Our children are the most important precious things we have. I have to say, i hope dr. Red field was quoted out of context when he said its difficult for children to get sick. That is not true. Children get infected and infect each other. They infect parents. And when they do get sick, it is catastrophic. I have a friend with a child who got sick. He barely made it out alive. We now know theres long term damage to the brain. Four out of four children in one study had brain damage that may last a lifetime. This sh not something to fool around with. You were being i think sarcastic. Saying you hope dr. Red field was taken out of the context. I dont think he was. I wasnt being sarcastic. Hes a wonderful man. Fought aids his entire life. Hes in a difficult position. Its not true. I hope it wasnt accurate as well. In this environment, well, i wont go on. Thank you. I appreciate it. Cases in hospitalization skyrocket in florida dozens of hospitals run out of icu space. Ill talk with the miami beach mayor about the dire situation there. Next. You know when your dog is itching for an outing. Or itching for some cuddle time. But you may not know when hes itching for help. Licking for help. Or rubbing for help. If your dog does these frequently. They may be signs of an allergic skin condition that needs treatment. Dont wait. Talk to your veterinarian and learn more at itchingforhelp. Com. Well the names have all changed since you hung around but those dreams have remained and theyve turned around whod have thought theyd lead ya back here where we need ya welcome back, america. It sure is good to see you. Coronavirus is surging in florida. And the numbers are staggering. Nearly 10,000 new cases reported today. 42 hospitals in the state have no more beds in the icu. Hard hit miamidade hospitalizations due to covid19 are up 70 over the past two weeks. I want to discuss now with the mayor. Of miami beach. Thank you so much. I appreciate you joining us. In miamidade hospitalizations up 70 . Patients in icu up 84 . Ventilators up 116 . Whats going on . This is dire. It is. And i dont think it helps for people to suggest it isnt. I think one of the problems has been that im hearing from the white house how its not a big deal. 99 of people shouldnt worry. Our governor isnt making people wear masks and the result is that people dont see this crisis and the truth of the matter is because of the way it bakes into the community, it doesnt show up. It wont show up for two weeks and more icu and people on ventilators. This is a real problem. Its frustrating for people like me. Seeing at the local level. Indoor dining parties, venues. Gyms. Theyre all closed. They closed but back up today. Beaches reopened following the holiday weekend. Is this mixed messaging . Should it be tighter restrictions across the board . Indoor dining will not happen. That for sure because its inside without a mask. I think were only headed towards more restrictions because obviously in two weeks we have doubled the patients on in icu. Double patients on ventilators. Thats an amazing spike. If this continues were not going to have a healthcare apparatus to deal with it. Well have to do things like roll up the carpet more. Not allowing people to do things they like to do. Hopefully not shelter in place. The problem is were having problem getting people to comply. Its a mixed message are not helping. Its becoming political statement to wear a mask and how long before that can be the case makes no sense to me. Its mind boggling. If this is about the health of americans. If they the president which is what he wants the economy to rebound. Shornt th
