CNNW Early Start With Christine Romans And Laura Jarrett June 22, 2020

Welcome to our viewers in the United States and around the world. This is early start. Im christine romans. Im laura jarrett. Its 5 a. M. In new york. Americans desperately want to move on from coronavirus but wishing it will not make the pandemic go away. New daily cases have hit record highs in a dozen states. 33,000 cases reported saturday alone, the most since may 1st. The vast majority of the western u. S. Is red. As you can see on that map as are big portions of the south and southeast and the midwest. All that social distancing. The numbers are rising again. Sunday reporting is typically lower. Cases have jumped 15 in the last two weeks. Now a new area of concern, young people. Officials are warning people in their 20s and 30s are testing positive. Georgia, south carolina, florida, many other states. Georgia was among first of the states to open. More testing is the reason for the spikes and the numbers but the reality is more people are getting sick. In florida the percentage of tests coming back positive has surged since the start of june. That number stays more or less the same no matter how many tests you do. Miami and miami beach are struggling to enforce mask regulations. A great majority of thes new positives are in the 18 to 35 demographic. People go home, interact with their parents, grandparents. Thats a tremendous concern because of the vulnerable populations. Will you bring back stricter measures if the numbers continue to rise in miami . What i said from the beginning is we cannot take that off the table. Meanwhile, in arizona, the numbers are dramatically up. The president is set to deliver a speech and the mayor has concerns. I would ask the president to talk to his Advisory Council about whether it makes sense to come to a community that has seen 1 3 of our covid19 cases in the last week, and particularly young people are the ones where were seeing the fastest increase. The president bragged about increasing testing and then made this claim. When you do testing to that extent youre going to find more people. Youre going to find more cases so i said to my people, slow the testing down please. Slow the testing down, the president said. Presumably to reduce the number of cases. The white house later said he was joking. Remember, the president famously said the virus would miraculously disappear. Now with more than 120,000 americans dead and a week later they said a second wave is over blown they are now preparing for a second wave. We are filling the stockpile for a possible second wave. Are you preparing for a second wave in the fall . Of course we are. You prepare you prepare for what can possibly happen. Im not saying its going to happen but of course you prepare. Updated recommendations for Wearing Masks are coming from the cdc. Demand has intensified. Some cities and states including parts of texas and all of california have now mandated wearing a mask. The cdc is reviewing science to determine whether masks protect the wearer in addition to protecting others. They are encouraging people to wear masks whenever they leave home or whenever they cant social distance. The former epidemic takes another step towards normalcy. We have the latest from new york city. Reporter new york city is set to enter phase 2 of the new york state reopening plan starting on monday. That means restaurants can serve outdoor diners. Hair salons reopen to customers and more parks and beaches are open for recreation. It wont be normal like before the pandemic. Masks and social distancing rules still apply, but for new york its a big change. Governor andrew cuomo said friday the story has shifted in new york state. 180 degrees, he says. From worst to first. Christine and laura. Evan, thanks so much for that. While you are hopefully enjoying the first weekend of summer, President Trump fired the man whose office put his former lawyer in prison and is investigating his current one. Jeffrey berman dismissed months before the election. Why . After meeting with berman on friday bill barr said berman had resigned and someone who has never been a prosecutor would be required to lead the office. Berman said he had not reminded and he was fired at trumps request. Trump immediately distanced himself from the situation. I called up to the attorney general, attorney general barr is working on that. Thats his department. We have a very capable attorney general. Im not involved. Not involved. The federal prosecutor in manhattan has a very long history of political independence. Berman leaves behind a lot. The president was tagged as individual one. It sent his former fixer, michael cohen, to prison. The bottom line here, if you and your associates were under investigation and then you fire the prosecutor, its going to raise some serious questions. Getting a permanent placement for berman is not likely before the election. Seven minutes past the hour. We have a quick math lesson for you this monday morning. If you claim 1 Million People ask for tickets for youre vent and only about 6,000 showed up, thats underwhelming. A trump advisor tells cnn the president is, quote, very upset about the turnout at his rally in tulsa saturday night despite this prediction a week ago. We expect to have a record setting crowd. Weve never had an empty seat and we certainly wont. Or maybe it shows people actually heeded the advice of the Public Health officials who uniformly said, dont go. Saturdays rally also shows the Trump Campaign might have an enthusiasm problem even among other parties. Joe biden raised from 81 million. After President Trump bragged about 1 million rsvps. Hundreds of particular to being and kpop fans said they encouraged them to register for the rally and not show up. This was after 51yearold grandmother posted a video on the idea. Former National Security advisor john bolton said the horse was out of the barn. He couldnt stop boltons book publication. Bolton told abc news the president rarely read much and only sat for intel briefings once or twice a week. Despite working inside the white house 17 months, bolton is harsh on Foreign Policy calling the threat on north korea greater now than before. Hes asked how history will be remembered. I hope it will remember him as a oneterm president who didnt plunge the country irretrieve bring into a yound ward spiral. Two terms im more troubled about. Decisions are made in a very scatter shot fashion, especially in the potentially mortal field. This is a danger to the public. Bolton said he wont vote for trump. He wont vote for joe biden either. The debacle with the bolton book speaks to a broader point. Hes losing conservatives hell need along with other independents.
