Vossoughian. We are going to begin with northward recordsetting day for new cases of the coronavirus here in the United States. Nearly 73,000 new infections were reported yesterday, breaking the record. 71,000 were reported ten days ago. Seven of the last ten days have been among the worst of the new cases since the start of this pandemic, and florida reported the highest number of deaths and hospitalizations in a single day. 495 people were hospitalized, according to state data released yesterday while 156 people died, the most deaths since july 1st. Florida officials also reporting that nearly one in three children who tested in florida have come up positive for the virus. While they show little or no symptoms, the longterm effects are unknown. Doctors say theyre running low on the drug remdesivir, which has been proven effective in treating the virus. However, theres no shortage here in the United States. The Trump Administration stockpiled it earlier this month. Florida doctors are now being forced to decide who gets it and who doesnt. Floridas governor said yesterday he has asked the Vice President to replenish the supply there. Marko rubio said shipments are coordinated by the federal government, and we have a bad disconnection between what they think we need and what we really need. Working hard to solve this problem immediately. Also an unpublished report prepared by the Coronavirus Task force recommends strict Public Health measures by taken by at least 18 states. Those states are being located what is described as the red zone for cases of covid, meaning more than 100 new infections per 100,000 people reported just last week. The 359page document dated tuesday and published by the center for Public Integrity yesterday suggests that states enact tougher guidelines including limiting social gatherings to ten people or less, closing bars and gyms, ramping up tests, and mandating, mandating the use of masks. The order calls for the mandating of masks across georgia and three other states. The governors have not yet ordered this. Also larry hogan of maryland sharply criticized the president s handling of this coronavirus pandemic, and a new piece in the Washington Post titled fighting alone. In it hogan explains in the essay how the government left him with nowhere else to learn, so he relied on his wife who secure half a million tests. I have watched as the president downplayed the outbreaks severity, and as the white house failed to issue public warnings, draw up a 50state strategy or dispatch. Eventually it was clear that waiting around for the president to run the nations response was hopeless. Governors were being told that we were on our own. It was sink or swim. And if i didnt do something dramatic, we slim wouimply not close to having enough tests in maryland. He goes on. Many actions could be taken in the early days but were not. While other countries were racing ahead with well tested regimes, the Trump Administration bungled the effort. White House Press SecretaryKayleigh Mcenany was asked about hogans piece. Heres how she responded. Yeah. Its really striking, his comments, especially when you compare them to his past comments this. Is revisionist history by Governor Hogan and stands in stark contrast on march 19th where hi praised the president for the communication hes had with governors. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also chimed in on the president s coronavirus response, comparing him to a man, quote, who refuses to ask for directions. The president has made so bae wish he would make a good executive decision and do that. Observing his behavior, i have concluded that he is who refuse directions. All the answers are there. The scientists have the answers. We know that testing, tracing, treating, distancing, masking, sanitation can stop the spread of this virus, and yet the president continues to go down the wrong path and refuses to ask for directions from scientists who know better than any of us. All right. Lets talk about the Gop Convention here briefly. So the Republican NationalCommittee Planning to restrict the attendance at next months Convention Due to the surge in covid cases in florida. Theres been a lot of back and forth here. In a letter to the Committee Chair its said theyll be limited. And on the fourth and final night when the president delivers and accepts his nomination acceptance speenks delegates can bring one guest and alternate delegates will be able to attend. They plan to use a mix of indoor and outdoor venues while implementing a series of protocols. The president moved the convention to jacksonville, as you remember, last month after roy cooper would not permit the rnc to host a fullfledged convention in charlotte amidst the coronavirus outbreak. Lets get into this a bit. Political editor for the examiner. Talk about the reactions youre hearing about this downsized convention in jacksonville. Anybody whos been to north florida in late august knows that it can get rather sticky there and humid. So the notion of holding some events outdoors is not going particularly well with a lot of delegates and others who plan to attend the event, but some will be held indoors. I would not be surprised if they scale this down even further to get this done in a couple of days or so because the longer it lingers, the more stories about covid, particularly in the state of florida because with those numbers, it is spreading rapidly. The numbers are not going in the right direction in that state and many other places. And we actually already heard from certain republican senators who have said they will not be attending the Convention Even before this announcement was made that they were going to dial it back a bit. Lets talk about larry hogan, governor larry hogans essay that i read from briefly in the Washington Post. Youve got larry hogan obviously breaking from the president. He has broken from the president before, especially with regard to his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Other republicans, some doing so as well. Do you think at all his words along with other folks that we are hearing from will impact his reelection . Governor hogan of maryland represents one of the most republican states. Hes always had to play toward the middle. Hes an outlier. Hes trying to create a throwback to center right republicans, internationalists, trying to work across the aisle. Thats not where trumps party is. Well see how 2024 goes, but it does not seem like hes really in the center of gravity of where the majority of Republican Voters are, at least during the trump era right now. Well, i mean its honestly even interesting to hear that quote from marco rubio with regard to the supply chain to florida and hearing him say the federal government is not supplying them with what they need and theres a disconnect because he to this point has been an Ardent Supporter of the president as well. So finally hearing from him and saying there is a disconnect when his state is being affected with those astronomical numbers is astounding. David mark, thank you. Stay close. I will talk you do again in just a bit. Still ahead, everybody, with growing infections on the rise, a growing number of retailers are starting to require masks inside storrs. Also brian kemp starts a new legal fight with the city of atlanta over restrictions. Those stories and then a check of the weather when we come back. Of the wtheaer when we come back frustrated that clean clothes you want to wear always seem to need an iron . Next time try bounce wrinkle guard dryer sheets. Just toss it in the dryer to bounce out wrinkles. We dried these shorts with bounce wrinkle guard, and a pair without. The bounce wrinkle guard shorts have fewer wrinkles and static, and more softness. Its the worlds first mega sheet that does the job of three dryer sheets. It also comes in unscented. If you dont love bounce wrinkle guard, well give you your money back. Welcome back, everybody. With covid cases on the rise, more than half the states have issued mandatory mask requirements to help stop the spread. Arkansas is on the growing list. It will apply to people 10 years and older. The rules will go into effect on monday. Earlier governors in two concerned states said people will be on gated to wear masks while in public. Meanwhile the political battle over masks is escalating with a showdown between state and local government. Yesterday brian kemp and his administration filed a lawsuit seeking to block atlanta from requiring residents to wear masks. The lawsuit challenges keisha lance bottoms. He said, quote, this lawsuit is on behalf of atlanta Business Owners and their hardworking employees who are struggling to work during these times. The mayor noted, quote, a better use of taxpayer money would be used to expand testing and Contact Tracing and said, quote, if being sued is what it takes, then well see them in court. The legal battle comes after mayor bottoms accused President Trump of breaking the law by not wearing a mask at the Atlanta Hartsfieldjackson airport on wednesday. The president said he following the guidelines presented by the cdc during his trip. Joining me now, msnbc legal analyst danny cevallos. Great to see you this morning. What do you make of the governors attempt to override the mask rule. Its interesting. The governor forced a state to not force its citizens to wear a mask and this complaint essentially charges the governor issue and executive order. That report argues that he required it but any locality that is inconsistent with this gronk order is no good. Now, its a hard thing to say that the city of atlantas order requiring masks is inconsistent with the governors order because the governors order strongly encourages the wearing of masks. So i can see a court looking at this and saying, well, the governor encouraged Wearing Masks and now the city of atlanta is mandating those masks, and just because the governor thinks its inconsistent and, therefore, not allowed doesnt mean it actually is. I can see the court saying that, yes, this requirement to wear a mask in atlanta is consistent with the governors order strongly encouraging masks. What can be more consistent with a strong encouragement than carrying it out as a rule. Two things here. Are there any legal repercussions if mayor bottoms continues to defy this order . And, secondly, talk about the case she has here, considering the fact that cases in georgia are skyrocketing, atlanta is a more populous area. She, in fact, has tested for covid as well, and she said, we will see you in court. Shes going to fight this thing all the way. More important than that unfortunately is the governors broad power to issue executive orders in times of emergency. Thats consistent with other states power that they give to the governor in varying degrees. The court is going to look at whether or not atlanta exceeded its authority in issuing an executive order. You can imagine any number of cities issuing some kind of order thats inconsistent with state law, and thats the kind of thing that can be invalidated right away. But the court here is going to look at whether or not atlanta really did defy the governors order, an order which, again, i cant stress enough, strongly encourages wearing a mask and atlanta makes it official by saying, no, you have to wear masks. Its a rule. All right. Danny cevallos, thank you as auchlts great always. Once again President Trump uses campaignstyle speech and stokes flames with his remarks. And mary trump, his niece, makes a bombshell accusation about her uncle, claiming hes used racist and antisemitic slurs in the past.

Assistant secretary of the department of health and Human Services said to reporters yesterday, we want results back as fast as possible. He acknowledging while some people have waited at least 12 days for results, the ideal turnaround time is three days. However, a study published yesterday in the medical journal the lancit makes it impossible to stop the spread of the coronavirus. With that is correct lets get a check of the weather with meteorologist bill karins. Good morning to you, bill. Good morning, yasmin. Were about to fine out how difficult it is to go through a pandemic in the midst of a heatwave. Thats going to be building up this weekend. We have heat watches in the philadelphia area. And all of the middle of the country is in heat advisories or watches. This will be the hottest period of the season. For today, look at the map. The area in blue is the actual temperature. When you add in the humidity, thats the feelslike temperature. Kansas city, 104, washington, d. C. , will feel like 101 this afternoon. You get the picture. Its plain ol hot just about everywhere coast to coast. And then it expands to the northeast. It hasnt felt like that often. Boston will feel like 93. Minneapolis will feel like 108. Thats hot by minneapolis standards. And then early next week, look at washington, d. C. , on monday. A chance for your first 100degree temperature of the summer season. New york city not quite as bad. Boston has a chance for a couple of days on monday and sunday, near 95. Theres the heat index values. This is the feelslike value. D. C. On monday, thats about as bad as it gets, feeling like 108. We have a few showers and storms. One cluster out there. Well have hitandmiss showers. Our real concern, the area of red, theres a moderate risk. We expect a severe thunderstorm outbreak in grand forks and near areas in watertown. Tomorrow, the storms will roll into wisconsin, minneapolis, and into wisconsin. Yasmin, this is about the middle of july, and this is what you expect. It is very hot fro coast to coast. This is what we expect. Thank you, bill. Coming up, were digging into reporting that Russian Hackers are trying to steal vaccines. The details of that story coming right up.

Thats why more dishwasher brands recommend cascade platinum. With the soaking, scrubbing and rinsing built right in. For sparklingclean dishes, the first time. Cascade platinum. Welcome back, everybody. Im yasmin vossoughian. Were going to begin this half hour with another instance of the president stoking racial divisions. An event that was billed as remarks on deregulation turned into yet another campaignstyle speech on white house grounds yesterday with the president warning that democrats and specifically joe biden want to ruin american suburbs. Our entire economy and our very way of life are threatened by bidens plans to transform our nation and subjugate our communities through the blunt force incident of federal regulation at a level that you havent even seen yet. The democrats in d. C. Have been and want to at a much higher level abolish our beautiful and successful suburbs by facing far left washington bureaucrats in charge of local zoning decisions. Your home will go down in value, and crime rates will rapidly rise. Joe biden and his bosses from the radical left want to significantly multiple what theyre doing now and what will be the end result is you will totally destroy the beautiful suburbs. And the president again compared the National Guard response to minneapolis protesters as a, quote, knife cutting through butter. We want to be strong. We want to respect everybody. But we have to have strong law enforcement, and thats taking place in the areas that were responsible for. We want oth
