July 07, 2020 Keeping them Honest: Pres. Trump’s divisive, inflammatory and racist words
President Trump says that 99 percent of Covid-19 cases are totally harmless and instead focuses his national leadership message on dividing the country with racist remarks about the confederate flag. Meanwhile, White House Task Force Member Doctor Anthony Fauci continues to sound the alarm on the pandemic saying that "we are still knee-deep in the first wave of this." Dr. Peter Hotez and Professor William Haseltine weigh in on the rise in cases around the country. Professor Haseltine tells Anderson Cooper that contact tracing is no longer effective, that “It's unfortunately up to each individual to be responsible for themselves ... I am afraid at this point we are past the point of no return in many of our states.” Also, former Democratic South Carolina lawmaker Bakari Sellers and CNN Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash discuss President Trump’s focus on confederate imagery and racist tweets. Plus, former Health and Human Services Secretary under President Obama, Kathleen Sebelius, weighs in on the U.S. military announcing that they will send medical and support personnel to help support San Antonio after the rise in coronavirus cases in Texas.

July 03, 2020 Dr. Fauci: U.S. isn’t going in the right direction
As 38 states see a rise in coronavirus cases, White House Task Force Member Dr. Anthony Fauci says he thinks “it’s pretty obvious that we are not going in the right direction.” The Texas governor is now requiring face coverings in public places “in counties with 20 or more positive COVID-19 cases” after the state saw its highest number of cases in a single day. William Haseltine, Chair and President of ACCESS Health International, joins AC360 to discuss the surge in cases throughout the country and a new CDC forecast predicts nearly 148,000 coronavirus deaths by July 25. Meanwhile, President Trump told reporters the situation in the country is “getting under control.” Maggie Haberman, White House Correspondent for the New York Times and a CNN Political Analyst, tells AC360 “this President wants to run his re-election effort a certain way, and that does not relate to talking about the coronavirus unless it’s about describing his administration’s response in glowing terms that just don’t comport with reality.”

July 02, 2020 Pres. Trump says he thinks at some point Covid-19 will just disappear
As the U.S. sees the highest single-day increase in new coronavirus cases, Pres. Trump repeats his claim that he thinks at some point the illness will just disappear. Florida Democratic Congresswoman Donna Shalala and Clinton White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta speak to AC360 about lack of guidance from President Trump. Also, former National Security Adviser to Pres. Obama Susan Rice reacts to reporting from CNN’s Jim Sciutto. Multiple former Trump administration officials who briefed the President told Sciutto that Trump's resistance to intelligence warnings about Russia led his national security team - including those who delivered the President's Daily Brief to him orally - to do so less often. “You don't intimidate the messengers .. this President is derelict in his duty as commander in chief to brush off information that is critical to the life and death of our service members and do so just because he doesn't want to hear bad news,” says Rice.

June 30, 2020 At least 16 states have paused reopening plans
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.
