Skepticism about what government is doing. I had the programs reviewed and putting additional safeguards to make sure there is federal Court Oversight as well as congressional oversight, that there is no spying on americans.

This isnt about russia. The fight isnt in russia. The fight is right here. The fight is about these programs that undermine, infringe upon, violate our Constitutional Rights. Presiding over the sentencing hearing of Army Whistleblower Bradley Manning has rejected some of the governments
Protesters and lawmakers to address policing practices. What hes saying in a new interview this morning. Were also seeing the power of those protests in action right now. Louisville, kentucky, passing a law named after Breonna Taylor, the woman killed by police in her home. That new law would ban the use of noknock warrants. Now a republican senator is calling for a similar law nationwide. Were also following spikes in coronavirus cases in states across the country. Right now there are more than 2 million cases in the united states. How states are dealing with this challenge as those numbers continue to climb. But first, the president , as we noted, is in new jersey right now after a trip to dallas where he discussed possible Police Reforms. Nbcs kelly odonnell, my colleague, is in bridgewater, new jersey, outside the president s bedminster property. What are we learning from the president who is trying to balance the calls hes hearing loudly for Police Reform and his instinct to drill
Started to hit at the hearts of people, like i said, enough is enough is enough is enough. Im hear were here where we are today but we have so much work to do. My heart goes out to all of the families, all of the mothers who had to suffer through this. Constance malcolm said to me that every time this happens, and im sure miss carr and miss bell will say every time and good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington. Youve been watching Governor Cuomo and of course the speaker of the state assembly. This as nationally President Trump is at his bedminister home but has left behind a whirl wind of controversies on police, politics and the pandemic. The president s continued sharp criticism of pro ttesters focusg on seattle where he is slamming the democratic mayor and jay inslee for permitting peaceful pro tessetesters to occupy six blocks. In dallas President Trump described the National Guard forcibly pushing minneapolis protesters last week from city streets as beautiful. They we
So im happy that we are here where we are today but we have so much more work to do and again my heart just goes out to all of the families, all of the mothers, who had to suffer through this and, you know, constance graham, Constance Malcolm said to me that every time this happens and im sure miss carr and miss bell will say every time one of these stories happens you relive what happened with your son again so were hoping that what we have done will not have other families have to go through what these families have gone through. So im just happy that the assembly was able to be part of the solution. Thank you, governor. Thank you. But i just wanted to mention, too, reverend sharpton whos a leader on this, ridiculed for this. You know . Sometimes its difficult standing alone but, you know what . Rev, after 30something years of you leading this, you know, you are not alone. Leaders sometimes have to be alone. Jesus was alone. So i just want to thank you for your leadership throughout
Coronavirus pandemic. Theres a lot to get to. Lets start with cnns john harwood who joins me now from the white house. John, what are you hearing about how the president is responding to this pressure . Reporter well, we can see how hes responding, kate. Saw it in dallas at the roundtable yesterday, and what hes doing is seeing this wave for change that is sweeping across Public Opinion and the country, black and white, and hes pushing back against it. The president is stuck in the world view that has characterized his life.
