Former Alaska Governor sarah palin showed up at her salon yesterday in a show of support. Now Governor Greg Abbott and the texas atattorney general ken paxton are calling for her immediate release.

During a meeting with nurses at the white house yesterday, the president also talked about changing his mind about disbanding the White House Coronavirus task force. Paula reid reports from the white house. I had no idea how popular the task force is until actually yesterday. Reporter President Trump said the task force would remain active indefinitely, but will shift its focus to economic recovery. As he met with nurses serving on the front lines of the pandemic, the president had a message to americans as he acknowledged more lives could be lost as businesses reopen. I call these people warriors, and im actually calling now, as you know, the nation warriors. You have to be warriors. Reporter medical experts and lawmakers have argued there needs to be widespread testing before the country reopening. And while the president and members of the white house are regularly tested, the president s new press secretary said it wasnt necessary for the entire population. The notion that Everyone Needs to be tested is just simply nonsensical. The people who need to be tested are vulnerable populations. Reporter the president also call dr. Rick bright, a government vaccine expert who filed a whistleblower complaint alleging the administration ignored Early Warning signs a disgruntled employee. I dont know who he is. I didnt hear good things about him. I did not hear good things about him at all. Reporter but its not the only whistleblower complaint filed against the administration. Cbs news learned of a separate administration that alleges the soninlaw Jared Kushner tasked a group of young inexperienced volunteers with securing vital medical supplies for the covid response. According to a source at fema, the task force may have steered government contracts to associates and political applies. President trump said he didnt know much about the effort but defended his soninlaw. I think they did an incredible job. Now i dont know anything about any of the details of it, but it was a welloiled machine. They were able to get things that nobody else was able to get. Reporter cbs news has also learned these volunteers used their personal email accounts and not their government accounts to conduct official business. In order to do that, you need a waiver, otherwise it can raise serious legal issues, and its not clear if that special permission was given here. A fema source also tells cbs news that using gmail accounts added to confusion and delays specifically saying that often contractors would receive an email and they werent sure if it was from an imposter or actual government official. Gayle . Paula, thank you, reporting from the white house today. The former cdc director, dr. Tom frieden, says the fight against the coronavirus is just beginning. He told lawmakers yesterday the u. S. Death toll could reach 100,000 by the end of this month. Right now its a little over 74,000. Dr. Anthony fauci was asked to testify at that hearing but the white house said no to that. Dr. Frieden is the president and ceo of the nasinitiative resolvo save lives which works to prevent epidemices. You are not a man who is careless with his words. You have tremendous expertise. You are not careless with your words. So what caused you to make that prediction yesterday. What are you seeing . Unfortunately, the numbers are just inescapable. With so many infections of people in the past two to three weeks and the death rate that were seeing among those infected, its just a calculation that tragically the number of deaths will continue for the next few weeks. The thing that concerns me even more is that, bad as this is, were still just at the beginning. We dont widespread infection and if infection causes immunity it would be really a small proportion of americans who are protected. Therefore, the virus has essentially an open field to run. What we have to do is restart the economy without rekindling the epidemic. But dr. Frieden, everybody seems to be working so hard to flatten the curve. Clearly were not doing enough. You have another plan . You have a better idea . There are a couple of things we have to do. One is to make sure we do a better job protecting those most at risk, including in congregate facilities, like nursing homes, which are being devastated by this. Prisons. All correctional facilities. Homeless shelters. Meat packing and other close quarters where people work. That kind of context is resulting in explosive spread, and it doesnt stay there. It spreads into the community as well. But flattening the curve by staying at home is just one part of the equation of what we have to do. Thats buying us time to build systems so we can protect our Health Care Workers better. So we can box the virus in by testing, isolation, Contact Tracing and quarantine. Those are the four steps of boxing the virus in. If we get all of them right, we can come out much more safely. We always keep hearing about testing, testing, testing. E pressry said itsite house, nonsensical, was her words, to get everyone tested because she said, listen, an hour later, the results could change. An hour later, you could contract the virus. Does she have a point . Testing is not a single thing. One of the things that i think we have to understand is, this is a very complicated disease to fight. It requires a comprehensive approach. And testing is one part of that approach. Currently we dont have enough tests in this country, even for the highest priority people. But even without that, theres a lot we can do. Improving isolation, ramping up Contact Tracing and ensuring that contacts are quarantined. Also, thinking about how to reengineer our environment so that theres less risk. Fewer doors to open with our hands. Ways to push Elevator Buttons without possibly getting contaminated. Making sure that were saniti effectivwhilhysically we ng n a conflict between economics and public health. There is the need to reduce the virus burden so we can get our economy back and theres a need to get the economy back and our Health Care System back so we dont lose lives from the interruptions that covid is causing. The ap is reporting that the Trump Administration is deciding to let the states decide when its time to reopen instead of going along with the cdc guidelines. Do you think thats the right call here . These are tough decisions. What we need to do is reopen gradually, learn lessons, try to figure out how to do that while protecting the most vulnerable people. Recognizing there are important Economic Activities that need to resume. Recognizing that people can go outside safely in most environments. Recognizing that there are workplace changes that can allow workplaces to reopen without risking the lives of workers and others. All right. Dr. Frieden, thank you very much, sir, for your time this morning. Tony . Gayle, thank you. Were continuing to follow the story of a shooting death of an unarmed black man in georgia. Civil rights activists say a grand jury in georgia should immediately waive criminal charges in the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery. Angry protesters yesterday demanded the arrest of two white suspects. A Prosecutor Says the case will go to a grand jury when courts reopen next month. 25yearold Ahmaud Arbery was shot dead after he was chased by two men. The father and son confronted arbery. Avcmichael and arberyhe appeared to struggle over what appears to be a shotgun before shots are heard. Politicians and public figures including lebron james are calling for justice. The nba superstar tweeted, were literally hunted every day, every time we step foot outside our homes. Cant even go for a damn jog. Anthony . Tony, were learning new details about two american citizens who are detained in venezuela. They are accused of being involved in a bizarre and failed plot to overthrow the countrys president , nicolas maduro. State tv showed an alleged confession by one of the americans who is a former u. S. Special forces soldier. Manuel bojorquez who has reported from venezuela unravels the story from miami. I was helping venezuelans take back control. Reporter on staterun tv, 34yearold luke denman of texas appeared to talk about his role to capture maduro. At one Point Holding up what was a signed contract. Cbs news is unable to verify whether hista coer the u ug usedhe arres former u. Airan berry to swiftly blame washington. Donald trump, mike pompeo were directly behind this, he said. The u. S. Considers maduro a dictator and has condemned his oppressive regime. But the administration has denied any involvement. Wed have been involved, it would have gone differently. Reporter former green beret, jordan goudreau said that he advised the socalled operation gideon and was hired by a group that included the u. S. Backed opposition leader, juan guido. Guido has denied that. 1700 hours, a daring Amphibious Raid was lunched. Reporter denman and berry are associated with goudreaus floridabased company. Eric farnsworth is the former senior u. S. Diplomat. Its a very convenient thing to have happened, and one wonders, given how quickly this was identified and how quickly the perpetrators were rounded up, whether this whether maduro didnt know in advance and maybe had something to do with it as well. Reporter Law Enforcement Officials Say goudreau is under arrest for arms trafficking. But they said those two u. S. Citizens would face trial in venezuela. Gayle . Very bizarre story there.
