As the cases of coronavirus still on the rise in parts of this country continue to cause concerns, here are the facts as we know them. Today there are more than 2. 1 million confirmed cases in the u. S. And about 118,000 americans have lost their lives. The toll on the sun belt region doesnt seem to be letting up. Three states along the countrys southern border get serious about proper protection. That includes florida. The experts warn its on tract to be the next large epicenter. Facial coverings will be made mandatory in most places until texas where year. Hospitalizations spiked 11 in one day this week, they can now force businesses to require face masks. As well as in arizona there are 2,500 new cases this morning. Thats a new singleday high. Arizonas republican governor gave local officials the power to require face masks. He wore one himself before cameras for the first time. Joining me now is van hilliard. Van, whats remarkable is the virus is not surprising, but local officials are finally treating this enemy with seriousness. Reporter local officials, nicolle, have been calling for the governor to make this move for a month. On may 12th Arizona Governor made the announcement that the states state at home order would be expiring. There was an indication that the number of cases were rising. There was widespread concern that would open the flood gates and open up community spread. What you saw is that exact thing taking place. May 12th the governor say were clearly on the other side of this pandemic. What we have seen is thats far from being the case. Today more than 2,500 new cases. You see a Record Number of hapt sa hospitalizations today. You continue to see that key percent positive number continue to climb. Thats when you heard local Officials Say we want the ability to implement our own restrictions and face mask requirements. I want to play a conversation i had yesterday that went and played into all this. It was with lena washington. Shes a sports caster in sacramento. Shes flying in tomorrow to lay her dad to rest on fathers day. He had diabetes. He returned to work on may 15th at a local casino. He had been out of work. It was on that day in order to pay rent, pay for his insulin that lena said her father returned to work. He called her the next day concerned about what he saw. Take a listen to lena and our conversation yesterday. Its the carelessness of other people who he would help in a heart beat. It breaks my heart. I cant accept that hes gone still. Im using this pain and im using this moment to call put a call to action. Arizona needs to take this seriously. Hes not going to be the last and people who know me, you might be next. I never thought it would be me. People i went to high school with, you could be the next person to experience this pain. Its because people like you and other people in arizona and leadership arent taking this seriously and its careless and its it took my dads life. Reporter nicolle and brian, it was hours after that enter rue the governor announced his executive order that phoenix would be able to implement their own mask requirements. That very casino where robert washington worked, they announced today theyre closing. Theyre going to be reassessing the safety precautions. Other businesses i talked to, the aiello deli shut down to keep their neighborhood protected. He said hes ending indining services. I think theres a realization that the time to act is now as the numbers continue to soar. Brian and nicolle . Van, thank you for that recording. I saw lenas story yesterday on social media. We mourn for the loss of her father. Nicolle, by the end of this week well have lost 120,000 souls. Youve seen the university of washington projection about where were supposed to be by october 1st. During any other time this would be such a staggering obsession and preoccupation on the part of the president of the United States and all the souls around him or her. Of course, this week we have this big juicy distraction of the john bolton book which compounds the damage by calling in the criticism on such fundamental parts of being a president and leading a nation. It will be interesting to see which stories break through, which stories stick in the american consciousness in the 138 days until the election. Thats so interesting, brian. I think theyre one story. I think that the anger at john bolton for not telling his story ive not read all of it. What i read is the most devastating indictment yet. You sense that jim mattis might have the same view of donald trump as john bolton does. It makes you wonder why dont these grown men Say Something when they see something the way all of us learned after 9 11. The stories are not disconnected. Had people who spoken out, people who spoke out in the wake of the militarization, if they spoke out at the time that donald trump was impeached and on trial, we might have a different leader at a time a pandemic is racking our country. The stories can never separated one from another. Youre right, well know a lot more about what parts of it have moved and motivated the American Public in november. Unbelievable times. Thank you for spending time with us. Thank you for having me. When we return, john bolton sa says donald trump was easily played by foreign leaders and that the scope of his impeachment was too narrow. Well get reaction on that from senator angus king next. In nearly 600 pages of his very own words former National Security adviser john bolton describes President Trump as incompetent and not fit for public office. Bolton alleges the president has little understanding of americas role on the world stage and the threats posed by russia. I think putin thinks he can play him like a fiddle. I think putin is smart, tough. I think he sees that hes not faced with a serious adversary here. I dont think hes worried about donald trump. When youre dealing with his life understanding russias strategic position in the world against donald trump who doesnt enjoy reading about these issues or learning about them, its a very difficult position for america to be in. According to bolton troubling relationships between the president and World Leaders hardly stops there. The book alleges that President Trump turned to chinese president xi for help in his relationship bid. Joining us is senator angus king from maine. Senator, i remember talking to you during some of the most anxious moments of the impeachment trial when there was a real sense that by john bolton kind of changing his offer to the impeachment process and saying, if subpoenaed ill testify, there were some i wont even call them days. There were sets of hours where there was real hope that enough republicans i think we needed four, right . Four Senate Republicans to saying they were interested in what john bolton saw and heard about ukraine and might vote to listen to him. At the end there were only one or two. I remember talking to you during that. The stakes couldnt have been higher. What do you think seeing the fuller picture of what john bolton knew . I remember i think i was talking to you, nicolle, when i said i think i was going to get the votes. I couldnt believe my colleagues were going to go home and say why they didnt want to hear from somebody who knew facts relevant to the trial. Ive never heard of a trial without witnesses. Well, i have now. Its astounding. Theres plenty of criticism to go around. Im still astounded, disappointed, shocked, whatever you want to say, that my colleagues didnt want the witnesses. Of course there was a question of, you know, what if bolton said what hes just apparently said and they would have acquitted him anyway . Theres that argument. Killing somebody on fifth avenue argument. The other piece is bolton could have had a press conference. Bolton could have given the interview he gave last night during that period and it would have made it even harder to have voted against those witnesses. Im disappointed in the folks that said we dont care and im also disappointed in john bolton because obviously he had relevant evidence and i think he should have come forward whether he was subpoenaed or whatever. He didnt have to he could have easily had a press conference, an interview and made the points that were clearly relevant to the subject we were discussing in the impeachment trial. You have friends on both sides of the aisle. What is going on with the republicans . Casey hunt theyre advised to avoid casey hunt who is there asking them tough but fair questions about what they think of secretary mattis comparing Donald Trumps leadership style as those of the nazis. About general milley being seen in fatigues among Peaceful Protesters. Do they reveal any shame to you in private . I wouldnt say that. I think theres a bit of eye rolling. You know, this man owns their party. He owns their political base. He can with a gesture or a tweet end their careers. You know, ask jeff flake or bob corker or several others over the last couple years. He has no hesitation in doing so. He just lashed out at Lisa Murkowski because she said she thought mattis was telling the truth. Theyre in a difficult position. I dont want to be an enabler, but theyre staring at the abyss and deciding that staying on his good side is more important than calling out what is pretty apparent to the rest of us. This is not the behavior for a president of the United States. What weve heard from bolton i presume you havent read the book. I havent. Its not out until next week. The fundamental charge in the impeachment trial was aye bobus power, using the office of the president of the United States to further your own personal or political interest. Thats exactly what bolton is confirming apparently in the quotes weve seen like asking the president of china to buy more soy beans to help him carry iowa. But i just wonder if the president distinguishes. He talks about the call with ukraine was perfect. Im not sure he distinguishes between his own interests and the interests of the country. Let me ask you this, would you like to understand from bill barr what was done when john bolton picked up the phone as the countrys National Security adviser and called the countrys attorney general and said, you know, i think theres something corrupt going on in the president s dealing with turkish and Chinese Companies . Does congress have the right to know whether anything happened . Those are criminal referrals from the National Security advise. Congress represents the American People. Congress does have a right to know because the American People have a right to know. One of the characteristics of this administration has been stone walling everything. They completely stone walled the impeachment process. They stone walled the accountability for the billions of dollars being spent in the covid relief program. They stone wall in large ways and small. Yes, absolutely, i would like to know what attorney general barrs response was to those n phone calls. I dont know if we ever will because this administration basically doesnt want the American People to know whats going on. I think, nicolle, a friend of mine called me a couple years ago and asked a simple question. He said did donald trump have a board of directors with his company in new york . I said i dont think so because it was a family owned company. My friend said that explains it. He never had anybody say no. Hes never been answerable to anybody. If a judge rules against him, he attacks the judge. If congress does something he doesnt like, he attacks the congress. If the media says something he doesnt like, he attacks the media. Theres no sense of a responsibility to anybody else. He once said famously i can do anything i want as president. Thats not true. James madison flipped in his grave when that statement was made because the whole idea of the constitution is the division power. Nobody in our government can do whatever they want. Its all about checks and balances. Its annoying. Its inefficient, but thats the essence of our system. The framers understood if anybody had all the power, it would be damaging to the country. The old saying is power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The other thing i worry about about my republican colleagues is that theyre enabling this usurping of power and thats dangerous for the company. Its so amazing. We have these conversations and you realize how much is on the line in november. Well keep having this one. Senator angus king, thank you for spending time with us.

Donald trump obstructed justice as a way of life, was so corrupt in his dealings with turkey and china that the attorney general was consulted. He cheered the construction of concentration camps in china and was impeached in his execution of his duties as commander in chief. You would be mistaken if you attributed those charges to a democrat. Theyre coming from john bolton, Donald Trumps former National Security adviser who is locked in a war of roses like feud with the president over the publication of his new book, the room where it happened. The book sounds more often than not similar to james comeys meeting with donald trump. This morning in an interview bolton summarized the conduct he witnessed with this assessment of trumps competence. I dont think hes fit for office. I dont think he has the competence to carry out the job. There was no guiding principle other than whats good for Donald Trumps reelection. Trump is flailing at this hour in his response to bolton claiming the books revelations are false, made up and also classified which defies logic as one couldnt classify fictional accounts of anything. Heres trumps attempt to make that case. He broke the law. Its very simple. As much as its going to be broken this is highly classified. Thats the highest stage. Its highly classified information and he did not have approval. Thats not even the right word to whatever. Trump tried to claim that any conversation with the president or him should be considered classified. Even made up conversations that never happened. Adam schiff who sought boltons testimony in the impeachment investigation and whose case would have benefited dramatically from firsthand accounts from bolton said despite the fact that its coming out in book form boltons accusations justify attention and scrutiny. We have to take the book seriously because the allegations are so consistent with other evidence. So, yes, i think we need to because the portrait it paints of the president is one that we know to be all too true. Somebody who puts his personal interests above the national interests. Thats a continuing danger to the country until the election. We have to take it seriously. You could question and should question john boltons patriotism in withholding this information during an impeachment proceeding. That doesnt detract from the seriousness of what he alleges.
