11:00
11:00 A.M. ON THIS MEMORIAL DAY. GOVERNOR NEWSOME IS EXPECTED TO OUTLINE HOW
CHURCHES AND PLACES OF WORSHIP
CAN BEGIN TO REOPEN. GOOD
MORNING, EVERYONE. THANKS SO
MUCH FOR WATCHING. I'M ERIC
CONNERS AND I'M STILL ESCOVEDO.
THIS COMES AFTER PRESIDENT
TRUMP ORDERED ALL GOVERNORS TO
REOPEN PLACES OF FAITH, CALLING
THEM ESSENTIAL. CHRIS CUOMO IS
WORKING FROM HOME THIS MORNING.
HE HAS MORE ON THIS SHOWDOWN
BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE. GOOD
MORNING, CHRIS. GOOD MORNING,
ERIC AND STELLA. AND WE'RE
STILL WAITING TO SEE WHEN
GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM WILL
INDEED BE MAKING THIS
ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THOSE
OUTLINES. NOW HE SAID THAT THIS
WOULD BE HAPPENING TODAY
THE SAME DAY THAT WE FOUND OUT
THAT A FEDERAL COURT ACTUALLY
BACKED UP THE GOVERNOR BY
ALLOWING HIM TO KEEP THAT BAN
ON SOCIAL GATHERINGS AT
CHURCHES AND SYNAGOGUES AND
MOSQUES AND OTHER HOUSES OF
WORSHIP. THE PEOPLE ARE THERE
SHOWS ME THE CHURCH THAT
BROUGHT ON THAT LAWSUIT THOUGH.
THEY WANT TO TAKE THIS TO
THE SUPREME COURT. WE'RE NOT
SURE IF THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
BUT THIS IS WHY THEY'RE
CONFIDENT JUST HEARD FROM THEM
YESTERDAY LAST NIGHT. I'M SORRY
.YESTERDAY LAST NIGHT THAT
WE'VE BEEN DENIED IT WAS A
SPLIT DECISION THOUGH. AND SO
THERE WERE TWO JUDGES THAT
RULED AGAINST US AND ONE JUDGE
RULED IN FAVOR AND A CHURCH
ORIGINALLY SUED TO ALLOW FOR
MASS GATHERINGS AT HOUSES OF
WORSHIP AND THAT CHURCH WAS
THE SOUTH BAY PENTECOSTAL
UNITED. NOW IT WAS THE NINTH
CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS THAT
WROTE THAT BAN DUE TO A HEALTH
EMERGENCY. BRANT BECAUSE OF
THEIR RELIGIOUS MOTIVATION AND
JUST NOT IN A SELECTIVE MANNER
IMPOSED BURDENS ONLY ON CONDUCT
MOTIVATED BY RELIGIOUS BELIEF.
IT REALLY CAME DOWN THE SAME
DAY THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP
PUBLICLY DEMANDED THAT
GOVERNORS ALLOW FOR CHURCHES,
MOSQUES AND SYNAGOGUES TO
REOPEN. HOWEVER, IT'S NOT CLEAR
WHAT LEGAL AUTHORITY, IF ANY
THE PRESIDENT HAS TO OVERRULE
STATES. MEANWHILE, BACK CLOSER
TO HOME SAN DIEGO ARCHDIOCESE
ANNOUNCED THAT IN-PERSON MASSES
WILL RESUME ON JUNE 8TH.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE IN
ANTICIPATION OF WORKING WITH
GOVERNOR NEWSOME ON CHANGES TO
ALLOW FOR SERVICES TO RESUME IN
PERSON. SOME OF THOSE CHANGES
AT CATHOLIC CHURCHES INCLUDE NO
WINE TO BE SERVED DURING
COMMUNITY FACE MASK AND SOCIAL
DISTANCING TO BE REQUIRED NOW
SOME PARISHES MAY ALSO HOLD
SERVICES OUTSIDE WHICH IS WHAT
SOME HOUSES OF WORSHIP HAVE
STARTED TO DO. GOVERNOR NEWSOME
SAYS HE'S BEEN WORKING WITH
RELIGIOUS LEADERS BIG AND SMALL
ACROSS THE STATE TO TRY TO GET
THEM TO REOPEN AND TO DO SO
SAFELY. SO IMPORTANT THAT FOLKS
UNDERSTAND THAT WE DEEPLY
RESPECT AND ADMIRE THE FAITH
AND DEVOTION AND THE CAUSE THAT
UNITES MILLIONS MILLIONS OF
CALIFORNIANS, PEOPLE OF FAITH
AND WE ARE EXPECTING TO HEAR
FROM THE GOVERNOR LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. IT LOOKS LIKE WE
HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH
CHRISTIANS LIVE SHOT. IN
THE MEANTIME, THOUGH, SAN DIEGO
HOMICIDE DETECTIVES ARE
INVESTIGATING A DEATH IN
THE COLINA DEL SOLE AREA. IT
HAPPENED EARLY THIS MORNING.
THE VICTIM IS A MAN IN HIS 20S.
HE WAS FOUND DEAD NEAR 50
SECOND STREET IN ORANGE AVENUE
WITH INJURIES. HIS BODY WILL
STILL WAITING FROM SAN DIEGO
POLICE DEPARTMENT TO RELEASE
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS
DEATH. AS SOON AS WE GET MORE,
WE WILL BRING IT TO YOU.
MEMORIAL DAY IN SAN DIEGO. IT'S
GOING TO LOOK A LITTLE
DIFFERENT THIS YEAR, OF COURSE
BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC. MANY
CEREMONIES ARE GOING VIRTUAL
TODAY. NEWS IT'S KELLY HAS IT
ALL IS LIVE AT THE USS MIDWAY
MUSEUM WHERE ONE CEREMONY WAS
ALREADY HELD HERE THIS MORNING
.KELLY? GOOD MORNING, ERICA.
TODAY'S CEREMONIES WERE
CERTAINLY QUITE A BIT DIFFERENT
BUT STILL INCREDIBLY MOVING.
NOW THE PUBLIC WAS NOT ALLOWED
TO ATTEND ANY OF THESE
CEREMONIES BUT AS YOU
MENTIONED, THEY WERE STREAMED
ONLINE. TAKE A LOOK. AND
THE USS MIDWAY MUSEUM FORT
ROLLS KRANZ MIRAMAR AND MT.
SOLEDAD ALL HAD VIRTUAL
CEREMONIES THIS MORNING. SO
BETWEEN 9:00 AND 10:00 A.M.
EACH HELD ITS OWN 15 MINUTE
CEREMONY THAT PEOPLE WATCHED
FROM HOME. AND THERE WAS A
WREATH LAYING CEREMONY. THERE
WERE SPEAKERS ALL OF WHAT YOU
WOULD FIND IN A TRADITIONAL
MEMORIAL DAY CEREMONY. BUT
WITHOUT THE PUBLIC IN
ATTENDANCE. SO STILL EXTREMELY
MOVING TRIBUTES AND A WAY TO
HONOR OUR FALLEN FALLEN HEROES.
THAT IS WHILE MAINTAINING
SOCIAL DISTANCING. NOW THOSE
WHO WERE A PART OF THE CEREMONY
SAY THE PANDEMIC WON'T PREVENT
THEM FROM PAYING THEIR RESPECTS
TO THOSE WHO SACRIFICED
EVERYTHING. TODAY MEMORIAL DAY
IS A DAY UNLIKE ANY OTHER DAY
BECAUSE TODAY WE HONOR AND
REMEMBER ALL THOSE MEN AND
WOMEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES WHO
PAID THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR
US FOR THIS COUNTRY, FOR OUR
FREEDOM AND OUR CHERISHED WAY
OF LIFE. AND TODAY'S CEREMONIES
ALSO HONORED THE FRONT LINE
HEROES IN THE BATTLE AGAINST
CORONA VIRUS. NOW WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE MUCH MORE ON THIS
VIRTUAL CEREMONY COMING UP IN
THE NEXT 30 MINUTES. BUT FOR
NOW WE'LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU.
KELLI, THANK YOU. PRESIDENT
TRUMP IS ALSO HONORING OUR
NATION'S FALLEN HEROES TODAY.
HE IS MARKING MEMORIAL DAY WITH
NOT ONE BUT TWO DIFFERENT
EVENTS. EARLIER THIS MORNING HE
AND VISE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE
ATTENDED A WREATH LAYING
CEREMONY AT ARLINGTON NATIONAL
CEMETERY. THE WHITE HOUSE IS
ALSO INCREASING THE PRESIDENT'S
PUBLIC SCHEDULE AS HE PUSHES
FOR AMERICA TO REOPEN. NATALIE
BRAND HAS MORE DETAILS FROM
THE WHITE HOUSE. THIS CEREMONY
AT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY
LOOKED DIFFERENT THIS YEAR AS
GUESTS PAID TRIBUTE TO
THE NATION'S FALLEN DIGNITARIES
WERE ASKED TO REMOVE THEIR
MASKS AHEAD OF THE PRESIDENT'S
ARRIVAL. THE FEW IN ATTENDANCE
MAINTAINED A SOCIAL DISTANCE AS
HE LAID A WREATH AT THE TOMB OF
THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER AT A
CEREMONY IN BALTIMORE THIS
AFTERNOON. THE PRESIDENT
INCLUDED PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIED
FROM THE CORONA VIRUS DURING
HIS REMARKS. WE MOURN ALONGSIDE
EVERY SINGLE FAMILY THAT HAS
LOST LOVED ONES INCLUDING
THE FAMILIES OF OUR GREAT
VETERANS. WHILE SOME URGED
PRESIDENT TRUMP NOT TO TRAVEL
DURING THE PANDEMIC, HE'S
MAKING MORE TRIPS AWAY FROM
THE WHITE HOUSE INCLUDING TWO
GOLF OUTINGS THIS WEEKEND JOE
BIDEN'S CAMPAIGN SEIZED ON
THE OUTING IN A NEW ATTACK AD.
PRESIDENT TRUMP RESPONDED ON
TWITTER CALLING EXERCISE AND
SAID IT'S HIS FIRST TIME
GOLFING IN NEARLY THREE MONTHS.
THE PRESIDENT THIS MORNING ALSO
THREATENED TO MOVE HIS PARTY'S
CONVENTION OUT OF NORTH
CAROLINA IF THAT STATE'S
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR DOESN'T
GUARANTEE REPUBLICANS WILL BE
ALLOWED TO ATTEND THIS AUGUST.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
GOVERNOR COOPER GETTING A SWIFT
RESPONSE. AND IF NEEDS BE IF
NEED BE MOVING THE NATIONAL
CONVENTION TO A STATE THAT THAT
IS FARTHER ALONG ON REOPENING
AND CAN SAY WITH CONFIDENCE
THAT THAT WE CAN GATHER THERE
WHILE THE PRESIDENT WANTS
AMERICANS ON THE MOVE AGAIN.
HE'S PUTTING IN NEW TRAVEL
RESTRICTIONS ON BRAZIL. WE HOPE
THAT'LL BE TEMPORARY. BUT
BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION BRAZIL
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE EVERY STEP
NECESSARY TO PROTECT
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. BRAZIL
CURRENTLY HAS THE SECOND MOST
CORONA VIRUS CASES BEHIND
THE U.S. NATALIE BRANDS, CBS
NEWS THE WHITE HOUSE AND
THE TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS APPLY
TO ALL NON U.S. CITIZENS WHO
HAVE VISITED BRAZIL IN THE PAST
14 DAYS PRIOR TO THEIR ARRIVAL
TO THE U.S.. MEANWHILE,
DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE JOE BIDEN AND HIS
WIFE JILL ALSO LAID A WREATH AT
THE VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK IN
DELAWARE. THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME SINCE MID-MARCH THE BIDENS
HAVE BEEN SEEN IN PUBLIC BOTH
WEARING MASKS. THE BIDENS LAID
A WREATH OF WHITE FLOWERS AT
THE WALL BEARING THE NAMES OF
THE FALLEN. THEN PAUSED FOR A
MOMENT OF SILENCE. BIDEN WAS AT
THE VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK LAST
YEAR AS WELL. ERIC, AFTER A
BUSY WEEKEND OFFICERS WILL BE
