Criticism Grows Over Trump's Upcoming Rally.
JAKE TAPPER, CNN HOST: Breaking news: For the first time, President Trump has addressed the killing of Rayshard Brooks by a police officer. Take a listen.</s>DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I thought it was a terrible -- I'm not going to compare things, but I thought it was a terrible situation. I studied it closely. I'm going to get some reports done today, very strong reports. And we will have a little more to say about it tomorrow, but, certainly, it was very -- to me, it was very disturbing.</s>TAPPER: President Trump is expected to sign a new executive order on policing reform soon. This coming as soon, as Kaitlan Collins reports, as the president faces new criticism over his upcoming campaign rally in Tulsa, as COVID-19 cases there spike.</s>KAITLAN COLLINS, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Bowing to pressure, President Trump moved his campaign rally in Tulsa by one day, so it no longer falls on the holiday marking the end of slavery. But now a top Oklahoma health official is urging him to move it again, this time over growing health concerns. Tulsa Health Department Director Bruce Dart told "Tulsa World": "It's an honor for a president to visit, but not during a pandemic." Trump claimed on Twitter that the campaign has seen nearly a million ticket requests, though the venue only holds 20,000 people. Campaign officials say precautions will be taken, but masks won't be required, as coronavirus cases have been on the rise in Tulsa.</s>KELLYANNE CONWAY, COUNSELOR TO THE PRESIDENT: They're doing temperature checks, giving everybody a face mask and hand sanitizer.</s>COLLINS: This comes as Trump is expected to sign an executive order on modest police reforms in the coming days, establishing a national database that would track excessive use of force, but largely leaving most of the heavy lifting to Congress.</s>JA'RON SMITH, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF AMERICAN INNOVATION: There's a better way to do policing, and we have great examples.</s>COLLINS: Instead of leading the way on police reform, Trump has focused more on stoking culture wars, including his belief that NFL players shouldn't kneel to protest police brutality. The only black official in his Cabinet, Dr. Ben Carson, suggested that he's trying to change that.</s>BEN CARSON, HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT SECRETARY: I think we just continue to work with him. He'll get there.</s>COLLINS: One day after he turned 74, questions about the president's physical condition are also back at the forefront, now that he's defending walking slowly and awkwardly down a ramp Saturday at West Point Military Academy. Trump says: "The ramp was very long and steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery." He made no mention of how he also appeared to have difficulty holding up a glass of water during his address.</s>COLLINS: Now, Jake, the president did just take questions from reporters. He talked about that book from his former National Security Adviser John Bolton that's scheduled to come out on Tuesday. The president said he believes Bolton will have -- quote -- "criminal problems" if that book comes out as is, as there's been this fight back and forth between the White House and Bolton's camp over whether or not it contains classified information. The president said he believes every conversation with him is highly classified, though, of course, that is certainly not the case and not how that works. He also talked about that upcoming rally in Tulsa. He said that he's looking forward to it and he thinks it's going to be a big rally. And he also said he doesn't want any empty seats at that rally, Jake, meaning there is likely not going to be any social distancing between those people who attend the rally.</s>TAPPER: At an indoor arena that has not held events for months. Kaitlan Collins, thank you so much. Appreciate it. I want to bring in CNN's chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Sanjay, take a look at these numbers for the president's rally in Tulsa. The facility can hold a little more than 90,000 people. The president's campaign manager tweeted that more than a million people have requested tickets to attend. And I want to point out that rally attendees are being told to register for the event early. They must agree to not sue the campaign if they contract coronavirus. How dangerous could an overpacked rally be in the middle of this pandemic?</s>DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN SENIOR MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, I mean, this is the worst-case scenario, Jake. I mean, if we put this together from the CDC, we can talk about the different levels of risk. This might sort of give people an idea. When you're talking about gatherings of any sort, obviously, the lowest- risk possible thing would be some sort of virtual gathering, where people could stay at home and meet virtually. After that, the risk increases each step of the way. More risk is going to be small outdoor in-person gatherings. People still coming from different places, they may go back to their homes. They do a good job, hopefully, of keeping physically distanced, wearing face masks. That will help. The risk increases each step of the way, then. The highest risk sort of scenario would be sort of the situation we're talking about here, indoors, attendees coming from all these various areas, difficult to practice physical distancing, and who knows about what the mask sort of wearing is going to be. So there's no question. I mean, this is a contagious virus. Indoors is going to be far worse than outdoors, not wearing masks a lot worse than wearing masks, not keeping distance if they're filled to capacity. I mean, there's no magic here. There's no scientific proclamation where you're going to have some sort of revelation about this. This is -- that's the worst-case scenario. That's basically, if there is a person there who has the virus, the idea that it could spread and turn into a super-spreading event would be a big concern, Jake.</s>TAPPER: And speaking of concerns, what did you make of President Trump? You see the video of him walking down that ramp at West Point really slowly, really haltingly, kind of. And then you also saw the video of him seeming to have difficulty lifting a glass of water to his mouth, needing the help of his other hand. Obviously, it's always tricky diagnosing somebody, and I don't want you to do that. But what are your -- and I'm not making light of this. These are issues to be concerned about. What goes through your mind when you see this?</s>GUPTA: Yes, I get a lot of calls from my colleagues in the neurology, neurosurgery world, just sort of like, hey, did you see that video? Sort of a little bit of concern. People pointing out certain clues. But, to your point, Jake, no conclusions can be made, I think, by looking at a 20-second video of him going down the ramp. If we can play that, I can tell you what some of the folks -- again, these are just conversations that are happening, no conclusions whatsoever. He is looking down at his feet the whole time. Is he -- is this a balance issue? Is -- does he have a hard time feeling his feet? That's a type of neuropathy. He said the ramp was slippery, so maybe he's just being careful. Maybe his shoes are slippery. Who sort of knows in that situation? It's hard to say. I would want to know, how is he doing an hour after that, the next day? And by all accounts, he was fine. So, I think it's really difficult to read into that. But I think it's against the backdrop of, we don't know a lot about his health history. So there's not a lot of context to put that in, Jake.</s>TAPPER: Yes, and also the background drop of the president being rushed to Walter Reed Medical Center with little explanation in November. We still don't know the full story on that. Dr. Sanjay Gupta, thanks, as always, for your expertise. President Trump's planned rally in Tulsa is not only highlighting the city's troubled, tragic history, but also a new police confrontation there, the video obtained by CNN -- next.
