Summary

Florida is one of at least 16 states that have paused or rolled back reopening plans. Governor Ron DeSantis suspended alcohol consumption in bars but has yet to put a statewide face mask requirement in place. Nikki Fried, Florida Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services, says the governor needs to be more engaged and “get his head out of the sand.” Plus, sources tell CNN during hundreds of highly classified phone calls with foreign leaders, President Trump was consistently unprepared and posed a danger to national security. CNN Political Analyst and longtime journalist Carl Bernstein joins AC360 to discuss how sources told him some of Trump’s former top deputies concluded he was “delusional” in his dealings with foreign leaders.

0:05.2

infections are dropping in just four of them. Think about that for a minute. Four

0:09.3

months into the outbreak in this country, more than 126,000 lives lost and there

0:14.5

are only four states in the entire nation. The ones in green with the infection

0:19.0

rate is actually going down. In 31, the ones in orange and red cases are rising

0:24.6

and have now been rising for several weeks. Fifteen other states, the numbers

0:29.2

are holding steady. The surge is happening in small states and large, red states

0:33.5

and blue, though mostly now in the south and the west. It's not, as the

0:37.2

president likes to say, because we're just so gosh darn good at testing. We

0:41.0

aren't so good at testing. In fact, in many places, testing continues to be hard

0:44.4

to get. These long lines of cars are outside of clinic in Austin where some

0:49.0

people are here for their second or third time having been turned away

before. And this is in the capital of Texas, one of the largest, largest,

wealthiest, most populated states in the country. We're not only is the case

count rising, so is the number of people being hospitalized every day. And a moment

we'll talk with the doctor in Houston where hospitals are operating at or

near capacity. Again, this is not for more testing. A greater percentage of

1:11.4

tests are coming back positive, meaning there are more infected people out in

1:14.5

the community. In Texas, it's about 15% triple what it was in May. In Los

1:20.3

Angeles, the positivity rate has doubled in the last month and this new
