Transcripts For CNN CNN Newsroom With Brianna Keilar



>> in fact, the white house says the checks for some americans could come as soon as this weekend. cnn's kaitlan collins is at the white house. william news to many. give a sense what we're about to hear and what the plan is for biden to take his message on the road next week? >> it will be welcome news. really the easiest for people to grasp. they will get the checks if you k qualify. it is $1.9 trillion and why biden will hold and event talking about how to get it implemented. they're picking someone to oversee that because it's a big plan. look for that on monday. i think first this afternoon it's going to be more of a celebration for president biden in the rose garden signing this. only democrats you'll see in attendance given zero republicans voted to actually pass this plan. the white house saying, yes, by camera meeting. both houses represented but not a bipartisan event given none of the republicans were a part of getting this actually signed into law, of which president biden did yesterday. the next big thing not just implementing it and making sure people understand what is in this, it's actually selling the plan ensuring it stays popular. while you'll see so many officials fan out akrocross the country including president biden and vice president harris also their first lady. the white house says the states were picked on purpose. another thing you'll hear president biden talking about next week, the big promises made last night. talking about that july 4th timeline for a somewhat semblance of normalcy for americans. potentially able to get together with family and friends, depending how the vaccinations go. though we should note earlier today when asking the cdc director what number did they want to see to meet that goal set last night in that primetime address? they're not ready to put a specific number how many americans they want vaccinated by fourth of july because there are other things to address. supply and also important people will be hesitant to actually get the vaccine. >> a very good point. kaitlan collins at the white house. thank you. at the first lady pointed out in a tweet last night it took just 50 days after president biden was sworn in to get this relief bill signed into the law. the only major legislation that happened in more recent history when president obama signed his 2009 economic stimulus plan in just under a month. bringing in my colleague, jake tapper, anchor of "the lead" to talk about all of are this. what do you think that this says, this law, this early legislative success of his, about how his agenda is going to fare for the rest of the year? >> it's interesting. obviously when it came to his pledge to work across the aisle, this was the bill he wanted almost entirely. $1.9 trillion with exception of a few item here and there the bill he prosed in january. when republicans said, we'd like to work with you, needs to be significantly less money, the president basically said, no. and so i'm not saying it's his fault that it's not bipartisan. obviously he thought it needed to be this big and memories of 2009 and trying to get a bipartisan bill there wasn't enough for a more robust recovery linger in the minds of president biden and others in the white house. that said, i wonder how much this is the template versus how much this is going to be the exception? obviously, there is a lot that can be done in a bipartisan way. whether it's infrastructure, immigration reform or climate change. the question, how many republicans will actually step up to the table and how much are democrats, who don't need to necessarily be willing to listen to them? >> some republicans appear open. not many but some. there is a question whether he'll try to zero in on them. jake, i want to highlight something you're doing. hosting a live special tonight. this is on the issue that i think is so much on people's minds right here, which is getting kids back to school amid the pandemic. what can we expect? >> well, what we can expect is, i think just a robust discussion from parents, from teachers, from a representative of a major teachers union, from students. from policymakers. the secretary of education, just sworn in a few days ago. we're going to have a discussion. i don't have the answers. i think the question is, how do we get kids back into classrooms for in-person education as sasafe ly and quickly as possible. if it were easy it would have been done by now. it's not for a lot of people. for some school districts they think they've solved the problem, cracked the code. it will be a robust discussion about what works, what doesn't work and i'm going to do a lot of listening, quite frankly. asking tough questions but listen to what people have to say. >> i'm really looking forward to that personally. i want to ask you about biden, and his goal for vaccinations. he is poised to hit 100 million vaccine doses and this is well ahead of the 100-day goal he set for himself as partly part planning because of that. conservatives criticized him for not giving former president trump enough credit for that. what do you think of that? >> well, it's interesting, because, look. i've said it on my show and you've said it, brianna. obviously, president trump deserves credit for "operation warp speed," which is part of the reasons that we now have miraculously almost three efficacious vaccines in this country and more to come. without question. that said, president trump's response to the pandemic generally speaking was very, very problematic. and we spend a whole were year going over the things he said that were ascientific, undermining he did of the scientists and the health experts. the way he turned his own, dr. anthony fauci, of the national infectious disease center, turned him into a boogeyman, a bad guy. mocked masks. as the white house became a superspreader location several times. so it is a mixed bag. mostly bad, except for ventilators, to a degree ppe and p "operation warp speed". i have heard them credit "operation warp speed" but no doubt could be doing more and agents resentful. be honest. something of a mess when they took over. 100 million doses in 100 days is not that difficult given the fact it was already at 100 million a day when biden started buted by hadn't a lot to do in the defense production act and a lot of other things in line. those who fault it, those who didn't fault trump for the things he did wrong. i'm simp ympathetic to the argu to a degree. >> one of the companies didn't takal "operation warp speed" money. also a mixed bag how you assess that as well. before i let you go, jake, i want to ask about new york governor andrew cuomo. on top of the independent investigation already under way into claims of sexual harassments made against him, multiple now. he's facing an impeachment investigation led by democrats and 55 lawmakers who signed his calling for his resignation. this is how he responded to that moments ago. >> the people of new york should not have confidence in a politician who takes a position without knowing any facts or substance. that, my friends, is politics at its worst. politicians take positions for all sorts of reasons. including political expediency, and bowing to pressure, but people know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture and the truth. >> i wonder what you think of -- i see you miling. what do you think of him bringing up cancel culture? what do you think of that? >> before cancel culture, talk about the fact his administration has already admitted first privately then forced to publicly that they hid data about nursing home deaths? they hid it, and did it for political reasons. they did it because they didn't want be then president trump to attack him for it. they hid this data. not to mention, of course, the original disastrous nursing home order that said that nursing homes in new york had to take people in even if they had covid. and there's a suspicion there are a lot of people that got infected because of that. he puts himself up at the arbiter of truth i find it a bit rich given "that" history. in terms of cancel culture, look, what we have here is a number of individuals, a number of women who bravely came forward to tell their stories and governor cuomo is entitled to have the investigation go ford, intotaled to have an independent investigation lap a happen and wait for those results. i see no problem with that. i'm of a mixed mind. we all want to take a stand against sexual harassment in the workplace and making people feel uncomfortable. if what these women said is true, i have no reason to doubt them, if it's true sounds in the case of shcharlotte bennett and lindsay boleyn, sounds like sexual harassment and i believe in due process. something often left out of these conversation. let's see what the attorney general, leticia james, as gutsy as they come. see what she finds. >> he's tlaeft out. go left that out when it comes to some folks. will he get the courtesy he hasn't always extended? >> excellent point. >> jake, great to see you. excited for your special. remind you again, a live special called "back to school: kids, covid and the fight to reopen" that is going to be on our air tonight at 9:00 eastern, right here on cnn. we do have breaking news regarding the death of george floyd at the hands of police. the floyd family attorney said to hold a news conference any moment. omar jimenez is in minneapolis with new information from the city council. what can you tell us? >> reporter: that's right. just learned a few moments ago city council voted 13-0 unanimously for a $27 million settlement in the wrongful death civil lawsuit that george floyd's family filed against the city of minneapolis and against the four officers involved in his death. this is separate from the criminal trials already taking place for derek chauvin and the three others expected to take place later in the fall. attorney benjamin crump made the announcement the largest pretrial settlement in united states history for a wrongful civil lawsuit, and soiouso obvi this is big news. keeping an eye how this was moving forward and weren't exactly sure how it would come to the forefront. we knew there was a meeting from the minneapolis city council scheduled for this morning, but this morning's meeting was about a separate matter, dismantlings police department and replacing it with a more encompassed council. trying to figure what was happening in the closed session. knew it was involving a potential george floyd settlement and we knew via the rules they kwo have to do a public vote before any decision. came and did that and voted unanimously, as i mentioned, on a $27 million settle mountains settlement to the estate of george floyd as part of this wrongful death civil lawsuit. >> omar, you hear that number. the first thing i think of is, that is so much money, and yet nothing brings george floyd back. right? what is the price tag on the pain of the family? what is the price tag on the pain of a community and the similar feelings that other people in similar situations have had? >> reporter: of course. and it's difficult to put a price tag on these types of situations, because you're exactly right. no matter what the dollar amount is, it does not bring back george floyd for his family. the only hope they've had throughout all this that this process and his name be met with justice when it comes to the proceedings playing out. obviously we're going to see what happens on the criminal side of things. derek chauvin in the middle of jury collection phase and a process that will play out. this is a separate type of justice they knew if they would be in these types of negotiations it was never going to be for a small amount. always for an amount they felt met the history of this occasion. this was an unprecedented situation here in minneapolis, what happened last may, and i think this settlement reflects just that as attorney crump says it ends up being the largest u.s. settlement for a wrongful civil lawsuit. >> omar jimenez in minneapolis, thank you. just in, the biden administration taking action to relieve overcrowding at the border as they struggle to house thousands of minors in u.s. custody. speaking to a former it deputy of staff at i.c.e. about changes in policy. and again, minutes away from hearing president biden biden speak in the rose garden. so stay tuned to cnn for live, special coverage. still an electric car. just more electrifying. still a night out. but everything fits in. still hard work. just a little easier. still a legend. just more legendary. chevrolet. making life's journey, just better. bipolar depression. it's a dark, lonely place. this is art inspired by real stories of people living with bipolar depression. emptiness. a hopeless struggle. the lows of bipolar depression can disrupt your life and be hard to manage. latuda could make a real difference in your symptoms. latuda was proven to significantly reduce bipolar depression symptoms, and in clinical studies, had no substantial impact on weight. now i'm feeling connected. empowered. latuda is not for everyone. call your doctor about unusual mood changes, behaviors or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. elderly dementia patients on latuda have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor about fever, stiff muscles, and confusion, as these may be life-threatening, or uncontrollable muscle movements as these may be permanent. these are not all the serious side effects. this is where i want to be. talk to your doctor and ask if latuda could make the difference you've been looking for in your bipolar depression symptoms. my dvt blood clot... stayed on my mind... was another around the corner?
