If there was a single place you would think the weird reality distortion field of donald trump would work it would be at a rally with his hardest of hard core supporters. We thought that would be in the case of tulsa, oklahoma. A deep red state over the weekend. There were people lined up outside the arena days in advance. The president and his team bragged that one Million People requested tickets. We were talking about how depressing it was that tens of thousands of people would be willing to put themselves at risk to attend this rally in the midst of a pandemic. But then they didnt. God bless the sensible decisions made by thousands of donald trump followers who apparently said, you know what, im going to go ahead and take a rain check on this big potential super spreading event. The arena was not even half full. About 6,200 people attended according to the Tulsa Fire Department in a space that holds 19,000. Thats like a third. Thats tough. The president had been warned aboard air f
Cases that theyve ever had. Only four states are seeing a decrease. One month ago on memorial day 18 states had rising cases. Compared to the 31 who have them today. 10 states were seeing a decline, again, only four of them today. This is whatsy this is what a failure to contain a virus looks like as opposed to this chart from the European Union which has a successful effort to contain the virus. That means european lives will be saved and american lives will be lost. Now Health Secretary alex azar is warning americans that the window is closing to get the pandemic under control in the u. S. And in a new interview with cnn dr. Fauci, the nations top Infectious Disease expert said fuelling surge are americans not Wearing Masks, not practicing social or physical distancing, causing a, quote, recipe for disaster. Cnns randi kaye is live in Palm Beach County, florida, leading the nation in new cases. Things have gotten so bad in florida, mayors are shutting down beaches for the fourth of j
Wrong direction. After aggressive reopening efforts in many places. Now some states like florida and texas are backtracking closing down bars and beaches now once again as they try to get their spike under control. But dr. Fauci is warning that even states that have a handle on cases are still in danger because of a lack of personal responsibility. Even in states that are telling their citizens to do it correctly theyre doing that, there are crowds, not physical distancing and not Wearing Masks. Thats a recipe for disaster. Florida is a state seeing its cases spike. Ran randi kaye is there for us in Palm Beach County. What is happening there . Whats behind it . What theyre trying to do about it. Reporter it depends on who you ask. We see a spike in cases. More than 5,200 new cases today and saturday more than 9,500 cases so the state is breathing a bit of a sigh of relief and we are seeing spikes here and a big reason why the local officials in some counties have decided to close the b
Lake city, utah, outside the medical school at the university of utah. Bowing their heads in respect. Tonight marks the 11th night of nationwide protests in response to the Police Killing of george floyd in minneapolis last monday, last week. Just like the ten nights prior to this one, we are seeing big crowds, gathering in some of americas largest cities tonight, left side of your screen, that is louisville kentucky, right side of your screen, thats los angeles, also seeing substantial protests under way tonight, in denver, colorado, and in phoenix, arizona. And again, just like the ten days prior to tonight, it has been a largely peaceful day of demonstrations, in big cities, and in small ones, and this was bastavia hills, alabama, today, which is basically a birmingham suburb, this was outside city hall. This was la miranda california today, protesters gathered outside the civic center there. In mansfield texas today, students organized a march at their high school, which wound its
In new york and new jersey and many others. But in many states things have gotten much worse. And you wouldnt know that if you listened to the white house. Donald trump does not like bad news, he doesnt like to confront reality, which is why he told us the cases which just crossed two million were going down to zero. And crucially and perhaps more importantly, donald trump just has a painfully short Attention Span. We talked about the fact the president abandoned any pretense of caring of spread of the virus and over a hundred thousand deaths. He got bored a month ago when he could no longer use coronavirus briefings as political rallies and just flitted on to the next thing. You see it in everything he does. Just today amidst all of the unrest, crisis, he was complaining fox news cut away from a congressional hearing he was watching at 11 00 a. M. On a weekday. This afternoon he threaded together a truly bazaar argument highlighting a history of winning, victory and freedom, all attri
