Texas. Now texas and arizona posting record numbers of cases and deaths respectively while hospitalizations in california hit a peak. And 42 hospitals in florida now have no icu beds available. Not a single one. When you look at the nation as a whole, it is clear that things are going in the wrong direction with just tree states showing decrease in infections. Those numbers, not deterring President Trump in his push to reopen schools. In a series of tweets he blasted critics to or posing the move and taking on the cdc saying he disagrees with the agencies very tough and expensive, end quote, reopening guidelines, adding thattel will meet with them and threatened to cut federal funding if schools dont reopen a comment that the Vice President said is a show of leadership by his boss. And when asked about the cdc guidelines, he said this. We believe we could open the schools safely. I think the president s sentiment this morning is shared widely by the American People and certainly by mem
Country. Texas and california both reporting their highest number of coronavirus deaths in a single day since this pandemic. And Texas Governor greg abbott warning next week could look even worse. Thats a blunt warning. Even blunter words from the nations top Infectious Disease expert, dr. Anthony fauci, on our countrys response. But as a country, when you compare us to other countries, i dont think you can say were doing great. I mean, were just not. Were just not. Those words directly contradi contradicting the president who said the president quote is in a good place and this morning the president is repeating threats to pull funding if schools do not physically reopen this fall. Also new poll ought this morning shows the approval of the handling of the pandemic is at an alltime low. Just 33 of americans approve of the way hes handling it. Were covering all of the angles this morning. Lets go to rosa flores. The president travels to florida today this as the state is seeing staggeri
The u. S. Continues to lead the world by a large margin, at least on the coronavirus front. Donald trump today called his hometown, new york city, a hell hole. This may have something to do with that. The words black lives matter in yellow paint on fifth avenue in front of trump tower. On the political front, the president s push to get back into school is sinking in among families who are debating the safety of it depending on where they liv teachers as well. On the judicial front, the president s closely guarded finances were at the center of two Supreme Court rulings today, decisions that lay down firm markers on the scope and limits of executive power, and they do force trump to extend his battle to keep that information private. The rulings came on the last day of the courts term. In one case, the justices cleared the way for the manhattan d. A. , cyrus vance, to see trumps financial documents himself, which had been subpoenaed by a grand jury as part of that investigation into th
Brian yes. Ainsley brian, you say yes. I would love it as long as we do it safely. We are seeing increased numbers of coronavirus in certain areas of our country we need to do it safely. Brian we dont have a choice. Psychologically kids are regressing. You cant give a kindergartner or 3rd grader a laptop and learn something they are not learning anything. Open up schools. Might be ice cold by the fall. You have got to have the plan. Steve brian, the president of the National Education association, the Teachers Union says we want to open but its got to be safe. Its all about safety. The president said look, in some cases, it is political, some people are not opening, he is suggesting governors and other people various localities to make he says its political doesnt go into why but obviously he thinks its to hurt him politically in november. Here is the president yesterday at the white house at this round table with educators and all sorts of Health Professionals talking about why the sc
Himself, which had been subpoenaed by a grand jury as part of that investigation into the hush money payments to two women who claimed they had affairs with trump. The president has denied those allegations still. In the other case, House Democrats were blocked from getting their hands on many of the same records, including trumps tax returns. The Supreme Court sent that case back to lower courts for further review. The new york case will also return to lower federal jurisdictions, which means its unlikely that voters are going to see these records before the election. The court voted 72 in both cases with trump appointees gorsuch and kavanaugh joining the sevenvote majority. The opinions for both cases were written by the chief, john roberts, who said, quote, no citizen, not even the president , is categorically above the common duty to produce evidence when called upon in a criminal proceeding. The white house tried to portray the decisions as a victory for the president , but he fel
