Five Million People have been stricken with coronavirus. Those numbers are accelerating. It took 99 days to reach 1 million, and shorter time every million after that. In the face of all of those deaths and the highest number of infected people in the world, are still fighting over simple things like wearing a mask and avoiding large groups. More classrooms and hallways will be jammed with American Children tomorrow. And were still seeing scenes like this that go against all logic. This one right now in sturgis, south dakota, either dont care or feel that the pandemic is exaggerated or wont affect them. Are you worried about covid at all . Hell no. Were going to get it sooner or later. So thats how you field . Im not [ bleep ] no mask. Thats the bottom line. Ill take you live inside the gathering. At an event saturday, President Trump posted the executive actions he was signing would on bring muchneeded relief, but the event sounded more like a campaign rally. He bashed democrats, including joe biden. Even a group of supporters cheered as the president scolded a reporter, but now that the actual text of those executive actions have been revealed, parts of them dont actually do what the president said they would do. Heres how larry kudlow tried to explain some of the actions. I think its going to come about 1200 per person. Thats a huge you keep saying 1200 per person, are you talking about in addition to the unemployment theyre already getting . No, thats the payroll i beg your pardon. The 1200 will come from the payroll tax. It should be 800 for the unemployment. 800 or 400 . No, it should be 800. If the states step up, were prepared to mark, 400 federal, 400 states. With me now is kristin holmes. If you can explain exactly what is in the executive actions. It certainly looks like you have to read the fine print here. Reporter you certainly do. Lets start with the unemployment benefit. The way that larry kudlow was explaining is is not the way that experts and lawyers have been explaining it to us after last night. We know americans were getting 600 a week from the federal government innish to whatever they were getting from the states, and this was for unemployment. President trump is now saying youll gelt h youll get 400. Its not that simple. Some experts believe most americans or many unemployed persons will never see the benefits. Here is why. President trump is actually only offering 300 in federal assistance. Hes saying that the states have to chip in the extra 25 , which is, of course, 100. Now, as we know, as weve been reporting, it is states are in economic shambles, many of them, completely wrecked by the coronavirus. They are asking themselves for federal money for help. Whether or not theyll be able to chip in that hundred dollars, it really remains up in the air. If they dont sign on to a finance agreement. No one in the state who needs the money gets any of the money. They dont get any 300 or 400. The governors have to agree to pay that 100 for the federal government to chip in anything. Not only do they have to agree to pay that money, but they also have to agree to administer that money. Here is why thats complicated. This is an entirely new program. This is not the Unemployment Program that we have seen that was distributing the 600. This is completely different. The lost pages program. So many experts sigh they dont know how quickly or if at all it can happened. This is not an Eviction Moratorium as President Trump explained that it would be. This is more of a, as a constitutional lawyer put it to me, play nice, please, this is the president asking agencies to consider whether or not evictions are mandatory if they were needed. Student loan deferment, that is completely straight forward. The payroll tax cut is incredibly complicated. Its unclear whether it would be put into effect or companies will have to sign on to it. Kristin holm, thank you very much. Im joined by jason miller, the Trump Campaign senior adviser. What happened to the deal maker donald trump that we all heard about during the 2016 campaign. Jim, thank you for having me on. I think what it shows is President Trump is willing to step up and lead when congress doesnt. We have seen him exert more of a broader use of executive power. We talked about the air traffic controllers. Weve seen a number of times even with President Trump early on taking on actions regarding deregulation we need to help people. This is exactly what he said about president obamas use. This is President Trump when he was running for office four years ago. Obama goes around signing executive orders. He cant even get along with the democrats. Its a basic disaster, you cant do it. We have a president that cant get anything do, so he keeps signing executive orders all over the place. I hay what obama does with gun legislation. He doesnt talk to anybody. He just signs executive orders. In theory youre supposed to be something people agree on. I dont think he tries anymore. I think he just signs executive actions. Jason, why doesnt the president get everybody in the room to try to agree. He didnt even get involved in the negotiation over the last weeks. The president has been very involved, working closely with secretary mnuchin and chief of staff meadows, but we have to hit the brakes and say why is this being politicized . Were making sure people get the money they need to pay that are mortgages, put foot on the table. For congress to be checked out right now, i think this is going a bit i think its a dereliction of duty. I think with President Trump willing to step up and to find another way to get this done, i think people will be appreciative of that. Is this the simplest, most straightforward past to accomplish the goal . No, but finally somebody will stand up for people. Im disappointed in congress that both chambers arent getting this done as we speak, jim. As a conservative, jason, conservatives have railed against president s who used executive orders. Why should President Trump get a pass on this . Well, again were talking about making sure were able to help people in their lives, but the fact of the matter is congress is taking a walk here and theyre not doing their jobs. In fact, i dont think congress should get paid at all. If theyre not going to show up and do their jobs. Is the president doing his jobs . Last weekend the president was out golfs. Republican members of congress were saying they didnt want the president involved in the negotiations. He was not dealing directly with House Speaker noich nancy pelosi and chuck chuschumer. It sounds like he wasnt getting the job done. Should he get paid . Look, jim, all i know is what i watched on cnn earlier. I thought dana bash did a marvelous job putting it to Speaker Pelosi earlier, madam speaker, dont you bear some responsibility . The fact of the matter this is congress and the senate needs to come back and do this. Im specially thank up that trump signed these orders to push it from a. These are existing programs, but if congress is not going to take good of it, its good for a president to look for solutions. Were hit by a global pandemic. Nobody could have expected this. Nobody knew this was coming or what the impact would be, not just the economy, but we talked about the 161,000 lives that have been lost during this. At a time right now, we have to figure how to come together at this time. Thats where im glad that President Trump is putting the path forward. I Wish Congress would stop playing games, jim. I want to get your reaction to some reporting in new york times. The article says that governor noem presented a mt. Rushmore likeness with the president added to it. Why should President Trump even contemplate being added to mt. Rushmore . Wouldnt he be a more likely candidate if he were on top of this pandemic . Jim, what that was about mt. Rushmore, i think it might be an oversele usa supporter, something not anybody i have ever discussed with President Trump. Further down the report i would be supportive of it, but this is a very serious time, and probably just somebody got a bit ahead of themselves. The report also says that governor noem traveled to the white house, met with the Vice President , there were some concerns in the pence team that the governor was after his job. Is mike pence going to be on this ticket . Can you guarantee that mike pence will be Donald Trumps running mate heading into the fall . Absolutely. Vice president pence has done a fantastic job. Hes a strong leader, someone who has been a governor and member of congress before that. Hes done a great job leading the tasks force. I know at this stage of the game people like to come up with parlor games and political maneuvering, especially on the eave of waiting to see who joe biden is going to pick. Why does that keep coming up . Doesnt the president like Vice President pence . Youre the first person to about i bring it up in weeks. Look mike pence is terrific, and hell have four more years as Vice President , and maybe move down the hall after that. Treasury secretary mnuchin, but will that happen . Democratic congressman Maxine Waters joins me next to discuss that, and youre live in the cnn newsroom. Hi, this is margaret your Dell Technologies advisor theres an art to listening. Its the ability to hear more than whats being said. To understand the meaning in every pause. And to be able to offer the answers that make someone feel truly heard. I understand, lets get started. Thats what you get when you talk to a Dell Technologies advisor. Stand up to moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. And take. It. On. With rinvoq. Rinvoq a oncedaily pill. Can dramatically improve symptoms. Rinvoq helps tame pain, stiffness, swelling. And for some. Rinvoq can even significantly reduce ra fatigue. Thats rinvoq relief. With ra, your overactive immune system attacks your joints. Rinvoq regulates it to help stop the attack. Rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious infections and blood clots, sometimes fatal, have occurred. As have certain cancers, including lymphoma, and tears in the stomach or intestines, and changes in lab results.

Take on ra talk to your rheumatologist about rinvoq relief. Rinvoq. Make it your mission. If you cant afford your medicine, abbvie may be able to help. [ engine rumbling ] [ beeping ] [ engine revs ] uh, you know theres a 30minute limit, right . Tell that to the rain. [ beeping ] for those who were born to ride, theres progressive. Absurdly unconstitutional. Speaker of the house not mincing works with respect to the president s executive actions. Everything is left out. Our assistance to the schools, feeding the people who are hungry, helping the people who will be evicted. He didnt do a moratorium, but a study or look at a moratorium. Something is wrong. Senator sass says theyre unconstitutional shopping. I think thats about right. Right flow we want to address the needs of the American People. My constitutional advisers tell me theyre absurdly unconstitutional. Joining me now is maxine water. What is your action to the president s executive actions. You heard the Trump Campaign adviser a few moments ago blame democrats in congress. What is your response . Well, actually i wished i could say i was so disappointed, but nothing this president can do to cause me to be disappointed qulaen moanymore. Nancy pelosi, out of the 3 trillion bill, offered up to give up 1 trillion of that. The president walked away. He wanted to use this as an opportunity to try to send a message out to the American Public that he was looking out for them, that its the democrats causing the problem. Be sure that this president has created an opportunity to say that hes doing something about rental assistance, he is not. He did not really provide any money, any resources to help out any family who could be evicted. He said to hud, fema and to hhs, you take a look. You consider this. If you think that this moratorium should be extended, then he may make a decision to do that. Most people op saying what he said would think he was offering some real rental assistance. So they four executive orders hes come up with, some are certainly unconstitutional. This payroll tax holiday that hes tacking about, the government of the United States determines expending the revenue of this country. He does not get to do that. But listen, i think this will all be over by monday. Theyll be back negotiating. Nancy pelosi has said he wants to negotiate. Chuck schumer wants to negotiate. I think these executives orders will fall by the wayside and get back into the negotiation. What hes asking simply does not make good sense for the most part. This unemployment, the 600 unemployment is extraordinarily important to our families. You know, people who have been laid off, their jobs have closed down. Congresswoman, where can you compromise here in obviously you cant get everything you want. The white house has made it very clear theyre not going to go as far as where democrats are at this point. The white house has been saying were off by a trillion or more. Where can you bend . What compromises can you make . Let me say in negotiation. When you have 3. 4 trillion on the table and your op ception ill take 1 thrill onoff, thats a great compromise that is a promise where you have to figure out where you take the money from. From food stamps . Youre going to take it from the citizen states and the First Responders . Youre going to take it from the ppe . The president knows that. I hope theyre back in negotiation on monday and really begin to do some negotiation. What is your message to americans who see this gridlock and say why cant the lawmakers and the politicians in washington get this done . Were in an unprecedented pandemic. Why cant they get the job done . I think the citizens of this country, americans know very well what were dealing with when we deal with this white house. The president has defined himself so clearly, i dont think the president could honestly negotiate with anybody and be credible, be believable in any shape, form or fashion. The president not only has defined himself as not always telling the trust, but absolutely bending everything and twisting everything. Hes not reliability. We dont know what hes able to. Every day he comes up with a new initiative to divert attention from the real negotiations that are going on. So i think the American People know that now. I think they know who this president is, and i dont think that theyre blaming democrats. I think theyre blaming the president of the United States of america. He says he wants to send the stimulus checks out with his name on it, so people will think hes the savior. Head does all these tricks all the time. I would hope he would back off from that and will et mnuchin and meadows do the kind of negotiation that gets us to a consensus so we can have employment insurance for our families so we can have ppe, the equipment that is needed. But we cannot ask the states to do matching funds on unemployment they dont have the money to do it. Let me switch gears if i may. As you know, the presumptive nominee joe biden is expected to announce his Vice President ial pick any day now. I suppose it could happen within the next couple days. Youve been very outspoken about this, saying recently we put this up on screen let me guarantee you this. Based on everything i know and understand and the help that biden has already gotten, he cant go home without a black woman being a Vice President. Well have a black woman vp. Who do you hope hi picks . And how serious is it for him do you think it is to pick an africanamerican female Vice President . Well, first of all, let me say im very pleased that the president of the United States decided that it was to be a woman. Hes made that commitment. Its going to be historic whoeverever it is. Do i believe that its going to be an africanamerican woman . I certainly do. I think it will be, because of under the leadership of some of our elected officials jim clyburn in south carolina, who turned this campaign around, and the way African American women have emerged in this country, showing theyre the most reliable part of the democratic party, i believe its going to be an africanamerican woman. Any hints . Kamala harris . Susan rice . Karen bass . No i dont know exactly whom its going to be. I know who i would prefer, but i dont think who i would prefer has anything to do with who he would select. Obviously as they have gone through all of the women, black, white, asian, what have you, it seems to me that they have gotten down to possibly just two. That is kamala and that is susan. So i believe it would be one of they em. I do have preference. Im not going to say who it is at this point, but i think my preference will be the one who will be selected. All right. Congresswoman Maxine Waters, thank you for narrows it down for us. We appreciate it. Thank you. Health officials have spent months telling us to stay home and social distance. Tell that to the folks at sturgis, south dakota. Look at this. The site of a biker rally that could bring 250,000 people to town.

Expected to host around 250,000. This is unlike any other years. Doctors are warning it has the potential to be a super spreader event. Ryan, im glad of your mask on there. Set the scene for us. Reporter weve been here for days. Each day it seems like another thousand or so show up. They felt like they were cooped up, and this gives them the opportunity to get out and have a good time. When you look at all the plates. When you look at the bikes, you can see them from several different areas that are definitely experiencing large numbers of covid. Georgia, florida, tennessee, utah, all these bikes come from all over the country. When you tack to bikers, they said they desperately wanted to be here. This was the one event that hadnt been canceled this is a beautiful part of the country. You look at the covid numbers in this stays and say, look, less than 10,000 have contracted the virus. Weve been walking around, it feels like precovid times, because no one is really wearing a mask. Listen to this one business owner. Honestly business has been great. Its wild. It really is. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that i dont know if theres going to be any more bike rallies this year. I think people are just pretty normal. I dont think theyre worried about covid. I heres the deal. Biker are all good at social distancing. Its when youre right here, you have to make the choice if you want to eat next to snob or not. Reporter this is the largest economic event for this area. Some people who obviously didnt feel comfortable about everyone coming into town, some of those businesses have closed, but talking to business owners, they had no chance of closing these, because this will be the makeorbreak moment for the years. Theres also a bit of politics. Just take a look at this. Theres all these popup tents supporting the president. A lot of bikes are cover with make America Great again. So many people believe the president is doing a good job. A lot of harleys here, american flags, people basically saying they want to exercise their right and go back to precovid times. Ryan young, it would be a lot of fun under norm at circumstances, but that looks like a risky proposition. Ryan young, thank you very much. Good to see you there. The first ballots in the 2020 election will be cast next month. Where does the race stand in well break the latest polls down and see which states are a must win for the president. You are live in the ccnn newsroo newsroom. Noo like you, my hands are everything to me. But i was diagnosed with dupuytrens contracture. And it got to the point where things i took for granted got tougher to do. Thought surgery was my only option. Turns out i was wrong. So when a hand specialist told me about nonsurgical treatments, it was a total game changer. Like you, my hands have a lot more to do. Learn more at factsonhand. Com today. Less than three months out, joe biden is holding a lead, but with the upcoming debates and National Conventions on the horizon, and bidens choice for running mate, can he keep the momentum going . Harry antonin, lets talk about this. You say that former Vice President joe biden is in a better position than Hillary Clinton ever was. How can you say that . I remember those leads that Hillary Clinton had back in 2016. They seemed insurmountable. They did, but take a look at where she was right now just eight days out from the convention compared to where joe biden is. His lead is slightly above that, but the key thing is the percentage of the votes that each were getting. Biden is over 50 . Hillary clinton was only at had 2 . It was a significantly larger chunk of the electorate that either was undecided or they had they were going to vote for a thirdparty candidate. Biden is already there and that to me is a huge deal. As we know, the Electoral College is what matters in the end, as we learned in 2016. What are we seeing there now, because theres a bakedin belief that the Electoral College sort of tilts toward the republicans and that may save trump in the end. At least right now were still under 90 days to go. He does hold enough of a lead. What essential i said is take the polls amples and assigned winder and joe biden has 353 to Donald Trumps 185. One of the key facets thats going on right now is the in great lakes battleground states, he was able to win, because he did so well with white voters without a college degree. What we see is doubledigit improvements for biden compared to where clinton was. If that hold until the election that would be a mammoth shift. But, of course, we still have some time to go. And any day joe biden is going to choose his running mate. That could have an impact on the race. How much could this affect his poll numbers, do you think . I love palace intrigue as much as anyone we had this idea it might be one of these five or six folks, but we dont really know. I will say based on history, there are two things how a vp can affect a race. Number one in their home state they can give a point or two to the particular candidate. But the other thing that i think is so important, history tells us that candidates that are seen as unprepared by the voters, those are the candidates who tend to, say, detract from the president was candidates. Its very important, if i were vising biden, i would say dont pick someone that voters feel is unprepared, like when john mccain pickett sarah palin. You hear that people dont trust the polls. They think its wrong. They know what happened in 2016 but how accurate do you think the poll numbers are right now, and does biden have these large leads that were seeing. Is there the possibility, you know, that the trump people are right . There are hidden trump voters out there . That are not being reflected in the polls . Look, its always possible, jim. You know, obviously back in 2016, the National Polls were pretty good. It was the state polls that were off. I essentially looked at the average polling mills, because thats whats most important. Normally its pretty small. But the true margin of error, the fact is even as we got to the end and biden is holding these large lead, i would not feel completely confidence of that. There is still a chance. Very interesting here. Thats why both sides say they have to get out the votes, no matter what the polls say. Harry, thank you. Coming up a quarter of a Million People having descending on the small town of sturgis. One doctor is warning this could be a superspreader event. Well talk about it next. So whats going on . Im a talking dog. The other issue. Oh. Im scratching like crazy. Youve got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. Apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether its a new or chronic problem. And apoquels treated over 8 million dogs. Nice. And. The talking dog thing . Is it bothering you . No. Itching like a dog is bothering me. Until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. When allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. Apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of Atopic Dermatitis in dogs. Do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections. Apoquel may increase the chance of developing serious infections and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or preexisting cancers to worsen. Do not use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. Most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea. Feeling better . Im speechless. Thanks for the apoquel. Aw. Thats what friends are for. Ask your veterinarian for apoquel next to you, apoquel is a dogs best friend. Ok. It was an accident. He was tickling me and. [laughing] stop it yeah. Whoops but julie has resolve pet expert. Its latest formula attacks odors at the source. No odor. No stain. No nothin. Whatever happens, no big deal. Resolve. Turning back to one of our top stories, sturgis, south dakota, a small town crowded with thousands of bikers. Theres never been a rally held like this, in the middle of a global pandemic. Lets talk with dr. William schaffner, a professor at vanderbilt. A quarter of a Million People traveling there, it sounds like a super spreader. Good grief, jim. Theyre doing the opposite of all the recommendations. No big groupings, no social distancing, hardly any masks being worn. Thats a formula for the covid virus to spread. Minding, this has nothing to do with motorcycles or having fun, and it doesnt have anything to do with either politics or individual freedom to make decisions. Its a contagious virus. Its not just up to you. Its up to you and you can infect other people while doing that. Youre going to take this virus home. I guarantee you. Any number of people brought the virus to this event. It will spread among many of the participants and will be taken back to their homes where they will spread it furse. This is an accelerant of the outbreak that were having in the United States. What can Public Officials do in a situation like this . Well, its very as your previous piece mentioned this has a huge Economic Impact for that whole area. Im sure they were torn, but we in Public Health would have said, Public Health comes first. You cant go back to the old ways of doing things, because the covid virus is here now. Were in a new future. We shouldnt be having these sorts of events. And why do you think it has gotten to this point where, you know, a couple hundred thousands bakers show up in south dakota for a rally like this. Many of them not Wearing Masks. Obviously gathering in large crowds, doing the things you were just saying a few moments ago. Americans should not be doing. Why is it, do you think, that, you know, wellintentioned, nice people, like these bikers in south dakota just completely disregard these Public Health warnings . Why is that, do you think . You know, im not entirely sure, but these are gregarious energetic people that want to get back to the old normal. This was a longstanding tradition for them, as was said, theyve been looking forward to this for a very long time. Its their big, annual gettogether. You can understand that. But somehow it hasnt penetrated that its not the old days. Its the new days. And we all have to modify what were doing, if were going to get this virus under control. I know most of them are young, strong and healthy, but they can spread it, even if they dont have symptoms, they can spread it to others amongst themselves and take it back home and spread it further in their own communities. As you know, we hit 5 million cases of the coronavirus here in the United States. Did you ever think it was going to get this bad . Jim, i did not. And this is such a sobering number. You know, thats a huge number of cases and a very large number of hospitalizations and deaths, and more to come. Because over much of this country this virus is spreading unimpeded, because so many folks are not getting with the program to contain it. Okay. Doctor, we appreciate all of that expertise. Thank you very much. Wish more people listened to what you were saying, but we appreciate your time. Thank you, doctor. Millions of americans are now working several jobs and the new gig economy this week, going to austin, texas, to find out how it all works and how it doesnt. Heres a preview. This is scary.

A milestone in the coronavirus pandemic but nothing to celebrate. 5 Million People in the United States now confirmed to have the coronavirus with the number of new infections and deaths still on the rise, and breaking news right now. This from georgia where a viral photo thrust a high school in the National Spotlight a few days ago. That photo showing students packed in School Hallways most not Wearing Masks and certainly not putting space between themselves. Straight to cnns natasha chen with the breaking news for us. This is startling news about that school. What are you learning . Reporter jim, were hearing from the school superintendent, the distribute superintendent,
