Anderson, thank you so much. As always, have a great night.

Hi, I am Chris Cuomo. Welcome to prime time. So one day they tell us, deaths soon may be doubling.

The next day, they say the coronavirus task force may be shut down at about the same time.

More mixed madness. Then you have the president acknowledging that reopening our country

will likely kill more of us, but we got to get our country back. How can he accept that when

he hasn't even come close to doing what he can to avoid more pain and death? Our big guest,

the governor of New York. He's trying to hold back the tide the president

is surfing. He says there's a safer and better way. He says he even has a plan. The question is,

will he be able to execute it? And you remember the ousted vaccine chief who said he was retaliated

against for going against Trump on this virus?

Well, he just filed a whistleblower complaint.

We have his attorney to make and defend his case.

Now, look, no matter what happens, our standard must remain the same.

Facts and fierce accountability for the same.

Together as ever as one. Let's get after it.

All right, so let the record be clear. The president knows that reopening will cost lives.

Do you believe that's the reality we're facing that lives will be lost to reopen the country?

It's possible there will be some because you won't be locked into an apartment or a house or whatever it is.

But at the same time, we're going to practice social distancing.

Just to be clear, it isn't a question.

No one thinks that you can relax the only standards that are keeping cases down and not have cases and therefore mortality go up.

That's a rhetorical question.
