All right, thank you, my friend. I am Chris Cuomo and welcome everybody to prime time.

I know there are a lot of political headlines and we'll touch on them. But we can't let

gotchas and the latest examples of Trump being Trump distract us from what is definitely

the elephant in the room. We are still not on the same page. States and the federal government.

One plan obviously will be regional and subjective. But one mindset about how to open places

safely. Tonight, Governor Cuomo of New York, now he just met with the president yesterday,

pushing for more testing to get on the same page. He said they had a good meeting. The president

said they had a good meeting. But why is this state ready now to reopen the way the president

wants to? We're going to hear from the governor. If not, then how is it a good meeting?

Together as ever as one can't just be words. It has to be intentions and actions that get us to a

safer place. So what do you say? Let's get out.

Now look, you can ignore the president trying to change the facts. We have to be facts first.

The president doesn't like that the head of the CDC. And by the way, most experts in the area

of coronavirus and pandemic control all say the same thing. The fall could be a real problem.

Coronavirus is likely to return. It will likely be in combination with flu season. That's very

difficult. Now, why fight that fact? Why not just prepare for what could happen? No.

Trump decides to fight reality and deny that it will be anything like what we just experienced.

But that's not the measure, whether it's like what we just lived through. If it's anything close to

that, as this happened in the past with other viruses, it may put us right back in hiding

with the same kinds of pressures if we don't prepare. So the CDC head gets comes up. The president

had said that CNN lied about what he said. First of all, CNN didn't do the interview. The Washington

Post did. And the doctor then gets up there and confirms his statement was accurately written
