On the righthand side of your screen, american deaths, today its more than 162,000 people. That number also going up, and its crucial to remember its not just a number. It represents our loved ones, friends and family members who perished because of this virus Public Health professionals plead with people to wear masks in public. The president himself saying it is a patriotic thing to do, but still so many refuse. Doctors say dont go to crowded beaches, dont have house parties, but people still do. One Key University model now predicts that 300,000 americans will die of covid19 by december 1st. And with that picture hanging in the air take a look at this. Sturgis, south dakota, this weekend. An estimated quarter Million People from around the country revving their engines at the 80th annual sturgis motorcycle rally, bikes as far as the eye can see. Masks, not so much. Theyve been recommended but not required. As one festival goer put it, quote, these people calculate their risks every time they get on a motorcycle. I want to welcome chris cox, hes the founder of bikers for trump. Chris, thank you so much for spending some of your saturday night with us. I understand youre from South Carolina. Why was it so important for you to be in sturgis this weekend and did you take your bike all the way there . Yes, my bike is here along with our command center and Voter Registration team. A lot of predictions have been made. They were predictions over 5 of the people that caught this would actually die when actually its less than 1 . So weve got to mitigate these predictions and put them in perspective, and a lot of us believe this might be a plandemic as opposed to a pandemic and i am one of them. That being said we do have 500 masks at the command center where were doing Voter Registration. The biker rally had over 10 gallons of Hand Sanitizer and 5,000 masks, so were taking the precautions we need to take, but quite frankly i think its being blown out of proportion. I think its being polarized by the left because of the simple fact they want mail in ballots and they have an opportunity to maybe cheat a little bit. I appreciate the fact youre holding Voter Registration events. Its important to have people have access to the ability to voice their thoughts in that way, but i want to clarify here. Did you say that you subscribe to the idea this was a planned pandemic . Well, it would seem so. The fact that they predicted over 5 of the population that got the virus would die when in fact its less than 1 hold on, wait, wait. Im not talking about the projections. Im asking if you believe this pandemic, coronavirus, covid19 was planned . I believe that its being polarized by the left for the simple fact im not asking you about the political reaction. Do you think that this is a plan by some nefarious organization to hurt americans . I think this is planned by the left to sink this amazing economy that our president has built greater than anyone else, and that these numbers are being just exaggerated across the board. I have a friend, a doctor in South Carolina that took one of the swabs put it in an envelope and sent it in and it came back he was positive. I think people are dying from heart attack and strokes on their death certificates its saying they died of covid. If you have a cough or sneezing or runny nose theyre saying that you have covid, but do they really have it . Isnt it convenient that this is happening during on the eve of an election and that all of these protests where you guys arent happy with the bikers coming together, its working collar, the blue collar and this working class community, the veterans and the rest of them are coming here. But yet we dont hear any push back with these big demonstrations from black lives matters and other organizations like antifa are marching through the streets. Was there any concern with your network voicing their concerns about the pandemic spreading actually, there absolutely was, chris, because i was in the streets with protesters and the first question i asked them is why are you here knowing there was a pandemic happening right now . Its something cnn has covered. Im curious, though, because i have friends who have died from covid19. Im curious, do you think they died because of the virus or someone, you know, faked their death or made it up . Because that is extremely offensive. And it certainly is. I definitely think this to be taken seriously but i think its being blown out of proportion. I think right now the left sees an opportunity to polarize this situation, get america where they can mail in their ballots instead of exercising their right to vote at the precinct and thats what we would like to see. So im really i want to understand your perspective, chris, i do. And im really curious. So youre saying that democrats planned to release this virus into the United States to beat President Trump in november . No, im not saying that. What im saying is that they see this is an opportunity. Okay, so what i asked before and they see this is an opportunity to polarize a nation, to exaggerate whats happening right now, to take some of these cases of people who have died from different ailments that their death certificates are saying they died of covid when they died of heart attack or somehow every coroner in every county in the United States is conspiring together to fill out death certificates falsely . Is that what youre suggesting . I think that weve got to do some political math here do you understand how a death certificate process works, chris . Against them on every turn that he made. Chris, do you understand the process that doctors and coroners go through when someone dies to fill out a death certificate . Its a legal process, and it has to be verified by a coroner. There are coroners in every county in the United States. For what youre saying to be true all of these coroners from across the country have to be sitting in a room conspiring to falsify death certificates. Is that really what youre saying . Im saying that its being recorded by doctors on both sides this is not as bad its being reported to be. Im suggesting that a lot of people are dying from Different Things i told you have i have firsthand experience of someone sending in a test log without it even touching it with a rubber glove and it coming back they tested positive. I have friends that have been in line to get the covid test and it took so long they left, and because they left it was reported they had covid when in fact they didnt. Thats fascinating and i wish you would stay on the line with us after this interview to give us their Contact Information so we could have them on cnn, and if not cnn fox news or reuters or any other News Organization because that deserves to be exposed. I have another question for you. If all these coroners are conspiring to falsify these numbers as you suggested why not other countries . Why have almost 20 Million People around the world have been reported to died from coronavirus . Are their coroners in all these other countries forgive me, 20 million cases, some nearly 725,000 deaths are coroners in other countries also falsifying death certificates . Well, let me ask you this are more people dying from the common flu, or more people dying from car accidents, are more people dying from aids, are more people dying i appreciate the intent to deflect from the question, but im asking you if you think that people in other countries are also faking their numbers and if democrats are somehow controlling them, too, chris . No, i dont think that the democrats are behind it, but i think that they are trying to polarize the nation. I think theyre trying to use this as a steppingstone to try to get mailin ballots which is just absurd. We need to go to inpolthe polls exercise our right to vote. Theres too much room for cheating if we mail in our ballots if you believe that democrats are playing politics with this thats one thing, but if you believe theres actually a conspiracy to fake deaths thats an entire or to fake the cause of death thats an the entire other subject. You mentioned a lot of your organization believes this is a planned pandemic, and i want to ask you again just to clarify the point. Do you believe that some nefarious organization actually planned to put this in the United States to affect the outcome of the election . Was this by design, chris . Well, that remains to be seen. Im not a conspiracy theorist. I need to see hard evidence before i am able to ascertain an answer for that. But i do believe this is being polarized by the left and being blown out of proportion, and i think that time will show that its not as bad theyre saying it is. After november 3rd i have a feeling this is going to disappear. To me its ironic it comes on the evil of an election that so, wait, chris there are more women in leadership positions in this administration than ever before. It just seems to me this is just another jab, and why do i think this . Im not a conspiracy theorist but what youre saying is unscientific and youre suggesting that somehow an organization decided they were going to kill all these people to affect an election. Youre suggesting that by saying that its coincidence its happening in 2020. Its not a coincidence. For years medical experts, people who know more than i do about science and medicine have been predicting Something Like this is going to happen. But you somehow believe this is all done to target the president. I think that the fact they said that 5 of the population that got this disease of this pandemic would die when in fact its less than 1 yeah, chris, the president himself also predicted this was going to go away by april when it got warmer. So, you know, predictions id rather take the word of scientists and people who actually know what theyre talking about, their area of expertise than the president who doesnt seem to know much about medicine and science. Weve had plenty of doctors come out and say this is not as bad certain doctors have also said that sex with demons is to blame for a number of medical ailments. Chris cox, were going to leave it there. Do appreciate the perspective. I hope you stay healthy and the people you and your friends come in contact with over the next two weeks also stay healthy. Thank you. God bless america. And god bless you as well. Tonight President Trump signed four documents at his golf resort in new jersey. They were executive actions aimed at helping millions of financially struggling americans pay their bills, buy food and pay their rent after the pandemic. Thats after congressional negotiators failed to reach a stimulus deal. Kristen, plenty of questions remain after the president took this unilateral action today, and one of them is where will this money actually come from . Well, thats right. So we have four executive actions, one executive order and three memoranda. And i want to break it down for you because theres a lot of nuance here and theres still a lot of questions. Weve actually asked the white house for clarification on a few things, but heres what the four were. One was deferring student loan debt, pretty selfexplanatory. Two was the tax holiday for people making under 100,000 a year. This would start august 1st and go through december. But a lot of questions how this is going to work because youre looking at people and families who might face an enormous amount of back tax and not be able to pay it back. President trump said if he was elected in november he would dissolve this back tax but obviously thats a big question mark there. On eviction there was some reporting it was an eviction moratorium. It was not. It was an executive order that was not a straight eviction moratorium. It calls on agencies like the health and Human Services to essentially consider whether it was necessary to temporary halt evictions to temporarily halt evictions. Why is this an issue . Well, were talking about a lapsed moratorium right now and it doesnt appear this will fix anything anytime soon. The last one also very complicated. So complicated we have a graphic here for you. This is the enhanced unemployment benefits. We know people were getting 600 a week. That ended when these stimulus talks fell through. Now President Trump is saying people will get 400 a week. Well, theres a bit of a catch there. Its actually only 300 a week that is coming from the federal government. He is asking states to pay that extra 25 which ends up being 100 per person. Now why is this an issue . We know some of these states have been financially crippled from the pandemic. And when President Trump was asked if governors were going to be able to pay this, heres what he said. If they dont, they dont. Thats going to be their problem. I dont think their people will be too happy. They have the money so i dont think their people will be too happy. Again, the states have the money. Its sitting there. Reporter so obviously a lot of questions there. If they dont, they dont. That means people would be getting essentially half of what they were getting before of money they rely on for groceries, child care, rent, et cetera. Top democrats have already reacted. They slammed these executive actions. They called them weak and narrow, and this is what Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer had to say. They put out a statement that said todays meager announcement by the president shows President Trump still does not comprehend the seriousness or the urgency of the health and economic crisis facing working families. Big question here, boris, is when is all of this going to actually come into play . There seems to be a lot of questions when people will actually start seeing money that they desperately need.

The president s actions also included protections for 40 million americans facing evictions across the country, but theres no clear time line of how soon this will help will reach those that need it most. With me now former long time democratic u. S. Senator from california barbara boxer. Senator, thanks so much for joining us tonight. Thank you. Of course. After the president announced his executive actions late today on stimulus relief Speaker Pelosi and minority leader schumer called his announcement weak and narrow. What would you say to americans that say that at least the president did something while Congress Remains gridlocked . The president doesnt know how to be a president. Thanks to the people of california ive served for a very long time in the congress and house and senate for 34 years combined, five pres. Now this president had an opportunity to do the good thing, the right thing, to walk into a negotiation. He says he knows the art of the deal. Where was he . He sends i call them the m m brothers, mnuchin and meadows who dont really want a deal. Meadows is from the tea party. He doesnt believe the government should do anything. So the president took this moment and instead of doing his job that hes supposed to do he turned it into one big mess. And everything you said about what he did i would question because i think that its really he was stealing money from the Social Security trust fund and Medicare Trust fund to pay for stuff, from fema. Its just one big mess. Thats why theres no deal. And senator, im curious as far as democrats go do you believe they made the right decision by walking away from a negotiating table over funding for state and local governments. Republicans not wanting to give them a trillion dollars. But, again, americans sitting down at home facing unemployment, facing hunger theyre going to hear from republicans saying they wanted to do something some thing, some form of help but democrats didnt. The democrats did not walk away. The democrats who had passed a bill weeks and weeks ago, okay, 3 trillion bill. Yes, to make sure that our heroes get the ppe, to make sure that state and local government, theyre the ones who are carrying this whole fight against covid, the president walked away from that. He doesnt even want to help them out. Theyre going to start laying people off. The schools, the president said, oh, you must reopen. And the democrats have money in there for the schools. So what did they do . I was almost going to say chuck and nancy because thats what the president calls it. Speaker pelosi and democratic schumer said, okay, well go down, well drop down a trillion dollars, meet us halfway, and they said no. And therefore people are going to be suffering. Its as simple as that. I do not see what the president did as really being effective. He didnt even extend because hes not allowed to extend the unemployment money. He setup a new program. You point out the states have to provide money. When hes not giving the states any money. So i think he just wanted to stamp his feet and he wanted people like you with all due respect to say to people like me why do the democrats walk away . A, the president never walked in, b, the democrats never walked away. And theyre still available, theyre still ready to go. To be fair we ask tough questions of everyone, senator. I do its all fair. Its a fair question. But its just what the republicans want the people to believe that the democrats walked away when they did not walk away. People are hungry. People are hurting, people are sick and dying. And we need to do something to help the people not just some flimflam, quick, you know, quick thing so people think everything is going to be great. So im proud of the democrats. Look, theyre going to make a deal if they can make a deal. Believe me, they will. Senator boxer, i want to turn now and pivot to the 2020 election and joe bidens search for a running mate. In march you said he should listen to congressman jim clyburn on this after he said he wants biden to pick an africanamerican woman. We see senator Kamala Harris right at the top of that list. Ive spoken to people who say the good money is on her, the smart money is on her. Shes a senator from california, as are you. Should she be the pick . My seat it was a great election when i left the senate she won that seat. I think i have no idea who is going to be picked, and i do think jim clyburn should be very, very involved with the pick. Because, look, as joe biden often says you stick with people who brought you to the dance. And without jim clyburn, you know, wow, he wouldnt have made it. And so jim just stood up, he was a character witness and people listened. And they voted for joe who was one of the nicest, most wonderful, compassionate people the opposite of trump who doesnt seem to care or have one soft spot in his heart for anybody but himself. Really. You dance with the one who brought you and former senator barbara boxer, were glad you came out to the dance floor to be with us on this saturday night. Thank you very much for your time.

And as recently as 2014 the world looked to the United States to clamp down on a different deadly virus outbreak, ebola. Despite that americas Coronavirus Response when you look at the raw numbers has largely fallen short. Again, this is not political. This is about numbers. As the New York Times puts it, one country stands alone as the only affluent nation to have suffered a severe sustained outbreak for more than four months the United States. And a Foreign Policy magazine study ranks americas Coronavirus Response in the bottom six. So what went wrong . Joining me now cnn Global Affairs analyst max boot, and dr. James philips, a physician and assistant professor at George Washington university hospital. Thank you both for joining us tonight. Doctor, we have the money. We have the expertise, so why did the United States wind up in a worse position than other developed nations like germany or south korea . Well, boris, thanks for having me on tonight. Its a profound question. Its not that we werent prepared. Its not that we havent trained, performed drills and had thought exercises about viral outbreaks for the last two decades. My best deduction of this is its a lack of will power and on two major fronts. One is a lack of political willpower. Then having the courage to go to take the steps forward in order to sort of implement the things that needed to be itmplemented beside just shutting down travel bans. We fought for weeks trying to get the president to enact the production act in order to increase the amount of testing we have, the ppe we were struggling to get. So that lack of willpower was passed onto the governors where they were expected to be able to lead within their own states. But theyre doing so in a setting where the president himself will come after them if they break rank and affect their political chances in their future elections as well. And then in addition to that we failed early onto adopt the testing that was necessary. And even more so we failed to ramp that up to a degree were going to need in the coming season. Max, on the category of factbased communication Foreign Policy magazine gave the u. S. The lowest possible score. The world is watching the United States. Theyre watching all of this unfold. What does this pandemic mean for americas standing . Well, i think what this pandemic has done for america is as i wrote not long ago is it has turned us into a pitiful pariah. Were all used to people around the world resenting the United States, but what were experiencing now is people around the world pity us. They cant believe what america has become. I cant believe it myself. I mean, this is truly the most shocking governmental failure in my lifetime. Its an unbelievable failure of the leadership on the part of President Trump. As you alluded to we have the resources. We are the richest country in the world. We van incredible medical sector, the best Drug Companies in the world. We have the capability to deal with this but we havent. This should be a subject of a matter of profound embarrassment to us that poor countries like vietnam have done a much better job of dealing with this problem than we have. No other country in the world is suffering the way we are. With about 4 of the worlds population we have about 25 of the worlds cases and it really comes down to a president who early on said i dont take responsibility at all. And President Trump has really been guided by Wishful Thinking here because at least two dozen times he has said the fires wvil go away of its own accord. Its getting worse. And President Trump especially the governors who him in states like georgia and florida have not faced up to the threat we face. They refuse to mandate simple things like Wearing Masks which is one of the most effective things we can do. But a lot of people just refuse to do it, and that is why we are still struggling with this. That is why we have 160,000 deaths and counting. This is just a catastrophe due to the horrible lack of leadership were seeing in washington and many of our state capitols. Doctor, are there any signs for optimism . Are there bright spots you could look at in the data and think, you know, however many months ahead there is a light at the end of the tunnel . The data doesnt necessarily show that currently. But what Previous Data has showed is we were able to flatten the curve. When people i was talking about willpower before and its not just the political willpower but the individual willpower. The decision of the individual to take the virus seriously, to sacrifice their personal freedom the they want to call it that and don a mask in an attempt to try to reduce the virus spread. To space away from people in public. To stay away from people who arent wearic masks and understand theres enormous sacrifice as far as Closing School and businesses. And a lack of that willpower has hurt us, too. When we look at the data we showed is whenever we had lock downs if you want to call it that, whenever we forced those nonpharmaceutical interventions on people the curves flattened. Look at what new york was able to do at the height of the epidemic and theyre now at the lowest rates weve seen in most states. Theres proof can be done, and so the most important thing ive seen from the data is that its possible and we can do it again if we find the willpower. And doctor, is a fall and winter surge inevitable . Do you think we may still have time to get it under control . Well, i dont know its inevitable were going to see surges everywhere. We certainly will continue to see this wave, if you want to call it that, run its course through different states. My biggest concern as an emergency physician and as a disaster specialist is the fact were coming into flu season, cold season and cold weather where people tend to spend most of their time indoors. And so the testing that we need is far from adequate. Imagine that the number of people that come into my Emergency Department every year because they have a cough or a fever and it turns out to just simply be a cold or the flu. Were going to have to test all of those individuals as well. And we dont know necessarily what the reparations of coinfection will be for people who get both covid19 and either another coronavirus or another cold. And can develop the flu while they have coronavirus. So we have a lot of questions to answer ahead but we have so many more people were going to have to test over the next six months. We are clearly not prepared for this. Max, i want to ask you about foreign interference in the 2020 election, shift gears a little bit. The Intelligence Communitys top Elections Security official said that russia is working to damage joe bidens campaign. China, though, would prefer a joe biden win. Whats your take away . Well, theres no equivalence here. This is really an attempt by the Intelligence Community to placate President Trump because there was a blockbuster article in the New York Times magazine today about how President Trump has put his thumb on the scale and is trying to prevent the Intelligence Community from sorry, you cut off there for a second. There was a New York Times article today about how President Trump is trying to prevent the Intelligence Community from coming clean about the extent of russian interference in our election because the russians are trying to elect President Trump. And the way that theyre trying to triangulate here is by saying, well, yes, the russians are interfering to help President Trump but the chinese and others prefer joe biden, but theres an equivalency here because theres no evidence the chinese are mounting the kind of Disinformation Campaign the russians are running in order to elect President Trump. Its the russians who are the primary culprits here trying to undermine our elections, and President Trump doesnt want to hear about it because the russian interference is going to benefit him. This is a truly this along with the covid, this is another shocking dereliction of duty on the part of our president. All right, we have to leave the conversation there. Max boot, dr.

Joe biden is running out of time to choose a running mate with a Democratic NationalConvention Just nine days away. Were told these six women are under serious consideration. Theyre in no particular order. In fact, sources say biden met with michigans governor gritchen whitmer just last weekend. And while neither side will confirm the meeting flight records do back it up. Joining me now former advisor to four u. S. President s both democrat and republican david gergen. David, thank you so much for joining us tonight. Thank you. We found out about this meeting with Governor Whitmer just last night. Were you surprised to learn that this late in the game shes still a contender . I was surprised. I think it was a wise move. Shes been a good governor. She ran into a lot of flack out there on the virus, but it turned out she was right and she was vindicated on that. And her popularity numbers in michigan are strong, and its an important state. So im not surprised shes in the finals. I do think shes probably not in the top tier. My sense of it for whatever reason the expectation has grown is not only is it going to be a woman but a black woman. And, you know, Governor Whitmer obviously and Elizabeth Warren dont make that cut. Theyre both very, very strong individuals. I think Elizabeth Warren is the brightest of the whole crew. But i do think its more likely to go to an africanamerican black woman. I want to ask you about the executive acs President Trump took today. He has tweeted multiple times about previous executive actions taken by president barack obama. The president on multiple occasions criticizing obama for executive actions. He writes, quote, why is barack obama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority . Senator ben sass just issued this statement this hour pushing back on the president s moves calling it unconstitutional slop. What do you think of the president issuing these executive acs in comparison to president obama . Well, i think hes outdone obama. Hes stretched the limits of the constitution and the norms of the criminal Justice System far beyond what any other president has done. And its been a surprise. I have the sense, boris, that the white house was happy not to have this negotiated out at the negotiating table. When it collapsed the president really preferred to leave the executive action on his own plate. That way he would be the center of action, hed be fighting for, you know, the unemployment benefits. We ha i think it was done partly for political reasons. It certainly appears that way. The camera just captured me asking my producers for one quick second because i want to ask you about the thinking behind the democratic leadership. They are going to get pounded by republicans who are saying they walked away from a deal that could have helped a lot of americans. It wasnt a deal the democrats wanted, the trillion dollars for state and local government, but republicans will argue it was something. Is this strategy a mistake . I dont think the republicans are going to get away with it very long if democrats play their cards right. The democrats have to have a very clear message. We actually wanted to do more for americans especially for those in the working class and for students and the like. And the nasty republicans wouldnt do it, and thats why were holding on. Were going to get a better deal. Were promising you a better deal. Trump has said basically if you vote for me you may not have to pay the payroll taxes.

Im going to go back to the question of the Vice President ial pick for a minute. Sure. And that is as we look at these candidates i do think the questions that have been published in the press what questions the campaign are asking i think are good but theyre not the right question. The published report says theyre asking a question would this person do a good job as Vice President , would this person fit well with joe biden, would this person be an asset or liability on the ticket . All interesting questions. But the most important question when you pick a Vice President is this Vice President , my running mate going to make a great president if history calls . And what we know is weve had 15 Vice President s since world war ii. Five have gone onto the presidency. In other words, theres a 1 in 3 chance if history repeats theres a 1 in 3 chance that the person joe biden named will be a future president. David gergen, thank you so much for the time, sir.
