Understanding about why soldiers serve. Look at that beautiful sunrise coming up in new york. We so appreciate you waking up with us this morning. Im christi paul. Im Martin Savidge in for victor blackwell. We begin with breaking news. Another night of violent protests in the United States this time in rochester, new york after the release of body cam video showing the arrest of daniel prude a black man who was pinned down by police and later died. Things got violent as you see here as the night wore on. Look at demonstrators here confronting customers at restaurants. [ bleep ]. As protesters tried to cross a Bridge Police fired pepper balls and pepper spray into crowds after they refused to leave the area. Police told protesters they were involved in an unlawful assembly. A cnn affiliate reports at one point a bus stop was set afire. Protests have been ongoing in rochester since the release of the body cam on wednesday. Six months after daniel prudes death. Prudes death is ruled as a homicide. The family wants to know why its taken information to get information about his death. Heres polo sandoval. Reporter we know more about what led up to the death of daniel prude earlier this year. His brother told me he was called for Police Assistance back on march 23rd when he said his brother was experiencing a mental episode, suicidal and high on pcp. He took his brother back home and left the house. Thats where the body cam video has been shared by the family. The video is not easy to watch. In these images you see the 41yearold chicago man, naked and distraught. One officer wrote in his report that the 41yearold man claimed he was infected with the covid virus. Three minutes into the video officers use a mesh, a socalled spit sock to keep from spitting on the officers. Shortly thereafter thats when prude is restrained, head held down and then thats when prude appears to be unresponsive. Loaded on to an ambulance, taken to a hospital and died from acute pcp intoxication. His family is wondering why it took months to get their hands on this video. Friday a spokesperson for the Attorney Generals Office said at no point did they ask the city to withhold any information and said they were free to conduct an investigation of their own. We heard from the president of the Rochester Police union, defending the actions of his officers saying he had seen this video and said that he absolutely believes that at this point based on what he saw the officers followed their training wordforword, but at the same time it seems that there is an agreement among many people here in the community, the union, members of the community and even the mayor of the city that perhaps Training Needs a closer look when officers are responding to these kinds of calls. Polo sandoval, cnn, rochester, new york. So overnight the president retweeted video of some of that viles that they saw in rochester. We go to the white house this morning. Kevin, how does this fit in with the president s culture war reelection message . Reporter the president is suggests scenes like this will benefit him politically. He retweeted video of whats happening in rochester with the caption thank you from the Trump Campaign team and hes giving voice there to the idea that scenes of chaos and violence in American Cities will benefit him. Thats something that he has said and that his aides have said over the summer. Hes trying to make the claim if his rival joe biden is elected in november that scenes like this will flourish across the country. Of course the president is the president now and this is happening under his watch. Throughout the summer what you have seen is the president lean into this law and order mantle, trying to use racial unrest and scenes of violence and protests in the country to project this image of strength in leadership. Hes saying hell send federal Law Enforcement into cities where this is happening. Now, what you saw this week in kenosha is a good example of the president s approach though. While he is addressing the viles he isnt necessarily addressing the situation that precipitated the viles in the first place. When hes visiting wisconsin he toured scenes where destruction took place, where rioting took place. When he was asked about tissue of systemic racism he said thats not the issue and we should be talking about viles, martin. Why did the president ban workplace race training sessions last night . Reporter this was something of under the radar memo that was released overnight. It seems to have formalized the president s view towards systemic racism. In the memo the budget chief is advising agencies to alter their raes racial sensitivity training. It says its come to the president s attention that the executive Branch Agencies have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to date training government workers to believe divisive antigovernment propaganda. Now its not clear how many of these Training Programs are under way in the government but one thing that does seem clear how this got on the president s radar. Its been a frequent subject on fox news over the past two weeks. Thanks very much, kevin. Now in wisconsin federal agents arrested two members of a Militia Group they say traveled from missouri with a cache of weapons they were not authorized to have because they have criminal records. They were picked up a few miles away from kenosha, wisconsin, the site of the jacob blake shooting and recent protests. Our affiliate in wisconsin has the story. Reporter Court Documents from the department of justice and fbi found a list of weapons in a hotel room. The fbi says on tuesday they were tipped off about two men driving into kenosha from missouri, aiming to loot and possibly pick people off. The text shows room mates in a photo captioned this the game changer as they packed for their trip. I came in at 11 00 today and they were here until 3 00 a. M. All the authorities were. They didnt tell me anything. Reporter while Hotel Employees say they didnt know any details about the incident, the fbi explains they arrested the pair in the Hotel Parking lot. It didnt provide photos of weapons found but shared a facebook profile. The cache of weapons, ammo and supplies found from the mens suv and hotel room include an ar15, shotgun, two hand guns, a home maid silencer, a drone, Tactical Gear and knives. How does that make you feel . Im shocked, really. I mean i came here to take pictures of the aftermath and just try to see what happened a little bit, but i dont know, man. People surprise you. Not in a good way these days. Reporter the release said the pair wanted to see proof of the rioting and planning to drive to portland, oregon next saying they were willing to take action if police were defunded. Our thanks from our affiliate for that report. If convicted they each could face up to ten years in prison for each of the charge. Now to the new angry denials from President Trump of thats disturbing report in the atlantic. Unnamed source told the magazine that he has repeatedly disparaged u. S. Service members including the fallen and wounded and chose to skip a visit to a Veterans Cemetery in part because of fear his hair would get wet by the rain. General kelly have yet to confirm or deny anything in thinks reports. But this was the president s reaction yesterday. I know john kelly. He was with me, didnt do a good job. Had no temperament and ultimately petered out. He was exhausted. He wasnt able to function in the last number of months. There is nobody that feels more strongly about our soldiers, our wounded warriors, our soldiers that died in wash than i do. Its a hoax. Just like the fake dossier was a hoax. Like the russia, russia was a hoax. No collusion. Like so many other thing. Its a hoax. Now the president is attacking fax news as well for matching some of what the atlantic is reporting. The editorinchief stand by the article and say the comments follow a pattern with this president. So what you see in all of these comments going all the way back 2015 when he disparaged john mccain for getting captured, what you see is a lack of understanding about why soldiers serve and what constitutes heroism. Democratic president ial nominee joe biden whose late son beau had this reaction. If its true, and i believe the article is true, i would ask you all a rhetorical question. How do you feel . How would you feel if you had a kid in afghanistan right now . How would you feel if you lost a son, daughter, husband, wife . How would you feel, for real . I just never been as disappointed in my whole career with a leader that ive worked with, president or other wise. Biden called on the president to quote humbly apologize.

Recorded more than 50,000 new coronavirus case friday the same day a model often cited by Top Health Officials predicted the virus could kill more than 410,000 americans by the start of next year. Of course, as you know, you may be anticipating this Holiday Weekend kickoff. The nations top Infectious Disease expert dr. Anthony fauci encouraging us to keep our gatherings small and suggesting making outdoor plans to help prevent the spread of the virus. Lets bring in cnns natasha chen. Labor day weekend will look very different in a lot of cities and that includes right here in atlanta, correct . Reporter yeah, martin. Its still early but usually during Labor Day Weekend we see thousands of people, a mix of College Football fans and thousands of people gathered for a parade, watching folks in costume for dragon con. Now all of these event organizers say the health and safety of attendees is most important but that means atlanta wont be seeing those dollars come in. This entire street is a hot bed of film. Reporter a Labor Day Weekend carrie burns would be booked solid. Giving tours of iconic spots in atlanta where major block busters and tv shows were filmed. Right behind us is the scene from w dead. Reporter the postapocalyptic of walking dead may be fiction but the real of 2020 is bleak. 280,000 people have tested positive for coronavirus and businesses like atlanta movie tours closed for good. Its emotional but you come to a point where you know that you made the right decision. Reporter the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau says this Labor Day Weekend would have seen nearly a quarter million visitors and businesses would have made 150 million just off of dragon con and two football games. The annual pga tournament is being played with no fans. 100 million over three games and 7. 5 million would have translated back into tax revenue into the city of atlanta. So certainly the hotels, the restaurants, the bars, the city itself is losing a great economic impact. As you see when you guys came, theres no one on the streets. Theres no businessmen, no lawyers in office. Reporter the red phone booth a speak easy in downtown atlanta opened five years ago with the dragon con cigar their first guest. This would be packed. Yes. They would be all dressed up. Reporter they will still have local supporters coming by at a reduced capacity per state rules. More than half the companys furloughed staff are back but business has not recovered enough to bring back all of them. Theres been many sleepless nights. Reporter he knows some businesses wont make it on the other side of this pandemic. I think that we could have done better to stop this or slow this early on with some, between mask wearing and physical distancing early, early stages. We got to the point where we were just a little too late. Reporter the owners of businesses that are emptier this weekend know the soon terrify business is stopped the southeastern they can see Friendly Faces again. That requires people to not gather together unmavericked this weekend. I understand that many, many of us are tired and ready to move on. But we have to hunker down and keep chopping against covid19. Reporter natasha chen, cnn, atlanta. We have dr. Matthew primary care specialist. Good morning to you, doctor. Good morning. So, we saw cases spike in a number of cities after memorial day. Same thing happened with the fourth of july. And now were at the summer Labor Day Weekend. How concerned are you that this Holiday Weekend will lead to another spike in cases, especially because, as the georgia governor alluded to, this fatigue now, corona fatigue. You know what ill say as a physician, listen were still dealing with ramifications from the two earlier weekend celebrations. I urge all americans not to get into that old quarantine fatigue and use the weekend as an excuse to take off the mask. The bottom line is if youre going to introduce new indemnify to your bubble you got to really make sure youre cautious. The three ws we talk about all the time. Wearing a mask. Watching your distance and washing your hands is key. Lets remember one example that we can all deal with, in new york the cases did not really begin to go down until masks were mandated in that city. Within two weeks the case dropped significantly. We need to make sure that wearing a mask is going to be really key as we go out there and it doesnt mean you have to be in a jail. Can you go outdoors but be careful. Wall street journal is reporting several drug makers who are developing a vaccine are planning to pledge not to seek government approval until the vaccine has been proven safe and effective. I guess my question to you is, isnt that standard procedure in you know, typically, martin, ive never heard of like the pharmaceutical Companies Getting together and almost issuing a warning saying, listen, were not going to get our vaccine out there until we are comfortable and we want to make sure that this is actually safe and effective. I think that is absolutely key. Remember, the whole i think americans have lost trust because how quickly were trying to get this emergency use authorization like they did for hydroxychloroquine and convalescent plasma. We have to regain trust of the american people. This is key. The more checks and balances we have will be absolutely important to making sure that people will actually get the vaccine when it is available. We know theres a lot of pressure thats been applied both to the cdc and the fda here. I mean, do you really think these organizations could be politically pressured into supporting a vaccine or authorizing it when, in fact, they are not quite clear if its safe and effective . Martin, i hope the answer to that is no. I hope there will not be any politics that will be involved in getting this vaccine out. Listen, ultimately its all about the data. Phase three, 30,000 to 40,000 people have to be tested. A lot of people forget it takes time. Once you get the vaccine to people you have to make sure that the vaccine actually works and guess how that happens . People have to be sent out there and you have to be exposed to the virus and you have to actually see that did the people who got the vaccine, are they going to be protect. So by rushing this vaccine expeditiously with the political slantin mind is actually going to hurt this vaccine. Remember, a vaccine can end a pandemic. But if we dont get this right the first time the exact opposite can happen. One of the things i want to ask you about, the vaccine is not necessarily 100 effective. Many times the flu vane can be only 30 or 40 effective. Would 50 be considered effective when dealing with cou coronavirus . Martin this, virus is highly contagious, highly transmissable and lethal. When you have a virus like this that has such a haifa all theity right you want that herd immunity through a vaccine to be in the 70 , 80 percentile. However like dar fauci mentioned i would be happy if we could get 50 Risk Reduction through the vaccine. 60 or 70 would be better. Before you let you go i want to ask you about this. We know masks work and almost every Public Health expert has said that. Heres the president bashing joe biden on his wearing of the mask. Listen. Did you ever see a man that likes a maverick as much as him . And then he makes a speech and always not always but he has it hanging down because, you know what, it gives him a feeling of security. If i were a psychiatrist, right, i would say this guy has some big issues. Can i just get your professional reaction to that . You know, martin i always try to stay away from
