the department of homeland security and the fbi urging authorities nationwide to be extra vigilant. >> saw yesterday's security jitters certainly after that scare at the washington navy yard with law enforcement rushing in great numbers towards the scene. we give with boris sanchez live at penn station. >> reporter: good morning. tens of millions of americans are hitting the road this weekend. and we've seen an expanded law enforcement here at penn station in new york and other parts of the country. they're aiming to make sure everyone has a safe and secure fourth of july. >> they're reaching out on social media telling people it's a holiday, we ought to kill people. >> reporter: police and fbi on heightened alert as nearly 42 million people will travel this holiday weekend. according to triple a, the most in eight years. this amid social media chatter by isis supporters and caused by the terror group to strike in the west. >> i don't think they are capable of a large scale attack.

but certainly an attack which could kill maim or wound hundreds of people. >> reporter: police departments in los angeles, philadelphia boston and atlanta tightening up security measures. >> we're constantly seeking to be kree taifcreative. >> reporter: at the washington mall they're preparing for all possibilities. new york city taking the greatest security measurers for years. snipers will be strategically placed. spotters will be inside the crowds. and 100 mobile cameras will capture the activities on land and in the air. >> there's no credible threat to this event or to new york city in particular. but our operating premise is that we are the target in new york city all the time. >> reporter: on thursday within minutes of the first report of shots fired inside washington's naval yard, the threat a false

alarm. but it reveals law enforcement is at the ready this holiday weekend. >> bring your family have a great time. you're going to be at the most well secured event in the city. >> reporter: now, already this weekend in fayettefayetteville north carolina, officers arrest a man walking around a mall with a rifle, ammunition and a. >> there was a big scare and a massive response at the washington navy yard after what turned out to be an erroneous report of a shooting wednesday. tell us what happened there. >> reporter: it was a huge and quick response really showing how on edge authorities are

going into this holiday weekend treating each and every concern seriously. this all started to unfold thursday morning when a woman inside the navy yard thought she heard gunshots and called 911. within minutes the building was on lock down. it prompted a boost in security at the capitol. white house tours also cancelled. three hours went by as police went painstakingly floor by floor, room by room at the navy yard searching the building. it all of course ended up to be nothing but the d.c. police chief here says this shows d.c. is ready going into this holiday weekend. >> we're aware what the discussion and chatter is around the fourth of july events and all those threats and we take this into account. we change our tactics up but we never lower our posture zplrchlts and this all comes at

a time when there is a change this security at the white house not related to this terrorist threat but related to all those white house fence jumpers. they installed very sharp spikes on the white house fence. could prison officials have missed a key sign about the escape plans of richard matt and david sweat. the buffalo news is reporting that richard matt sent a letter to husband daughter just before the breakout suggesting he wouldn't be in prison for long. jean casarez is live outside the clinton correctional facility in dannemora new york. >> reporter: it is an unnamed law enforcement source talking to the newspaper saying that on june 9th the daughter of richard matt received a letter that had been sent before the breakout. it says quote, i always promised you i would see you on the outside. i'm a man of my word.

his daughter immediately went to law enforcement. she had no knowledge of the breakout at all. but she received security during the time that he was on the loose. and we have research and the new york department of corrections does not check outgoing mail of inmates unless by written authorization of the superintendent they believe there's a security risk that there's information they need from that mail for protection of the community. they did not have that. now, we've also learned a little bit more about what happened one week ago today. we want to show you a trailer, an abandoned trailer off the side of the road not far from the roadway. that is the trailer that richard matt was in last friday afternoon when he fired shots at that camper that was driving down the street which really alerted authorities that he was in the vicinity.

it's delapilapidated. he left that trailer and that's when they found him in the woods. we now are learning he pointed the gun at them the custom and border patrol. that's when they shot him dead. >> excellent work on the part of that law enforcement official. thank you so much for that jean. the miss usa pageant has a new home. the reels channel coming to the rescue of the pageant after the telecast was dropped after donald trump's comments about mexicans. joe johns ss with the very latest on the trump saga. >> he's getting hammered by negative reporting but donald trump is still polling strong in this race. later in this month he has been able to get a new home for his program. the reels channel. on the other hand the pageant

must scramble to replace hosts and performers. em emitt smith dropped out as a judge. there will be a show. the question is what kind of show. the trump organization is not worried about losing money. the spokesman told me quote, donald trump is an enormously wealthy person with a net worth in excess of $9 billion. his goal is to make america great again even if that mans compromising small ventures. new problems for trump. the actress america ferreira thanking him for his comments saying quotes like yours will serve to energize latino voters. no comment from the trump organization on that so far.

back to law enforcement on high alert for this holiday weekend with millions set to celebrate jul 4th th july 4th. let's bring in a counter terrorism analyst. fran townsend is a former counter terrorism advisor. fran i want to start with you. there's always chatter around holiday weekends. is what they're hearing this weekend different than usual? >> it is qualitatively different. what you're hearing from intelligence officials in particular is that it's not just chatter but it's clear that they have talk signals intelligence intercepts related to this holiday weekend which has caused them to expend the extraordinary

resources we see like here in new york. >> we've had some of our experts who say even this morning that officials are scaring people. is it hype or is there something specific that's making them go to these extra lengths? >> it's clearly not hype. there's specific intelligence that causes them to take these measures. the law enforcement measures that are being taken are incredibly expensive. they don't take that unless they believe there is a real reason for them to have to do that. >> let me bring you in because there have been many officials who are saying that they are quite concerned about what's going to happen this weekend. let me play for your congressman peter king of new york. >> there's great concern. going back to the fbi and homeland security over the last two or i three weeks, i would say this is the most intense level of concern i've seen maybe

since 9/11. >> since 9/11? >> yeah. when we break down the concern it's important to understand what the islamic state has been doing that's different from what's been done in the past. when we used to talk about holiday weekends and preparing for a terrorist attack, we used to think of a big terrorist attack. what the islamic state has been very effective at is mobile iedsingieds ing -- mobilizing people. they're good at trading this feeling of intimacy among people who are half a world away. if you look at lone wolf terrorist attack patterns carried out by single individuals, they're spiked within the last year. in part because social media really serves the role that groups used to serve for terrorist attacks. it used to be that to get someone to carry out an attack would require a group that spurs

them onto action and doesn't back out. social media is now filling that role. it's not so much al qaeda or the islamic state's external operations capability but rather a lone wolf type of attack, a much smaller attack that's harder to prevent and the islamic state is so good at mobilizeing people to do. >> let me put up on the screen where they have made terror related arrests in just the last couple of months. these are 18 different states. does that mean somebody was about to act or they just have an inkling on social media. >> it means they're about to act. you can espouse all sorts of horrible ideas and our first amendment protects this. these are people prepared to act on that speech or those

thoughts. you look at the attack on a tunisian beach. one man with an automatic weapon mows down dozens of people sitting in bathing suits. with all the large public gatherings, you understand one people with access to a single weapon can kill dozens of people. >> it's troubling. why should any of us leave our houses this weekend? >> because the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of you not being struck by a terrorist attack. on july 4th not just some but many people will be murdered across the country. but that doesn't cause us to stay in our houses. dealing with an age in which terrorism plays a role is understanding terrorism is designed to scare us. july 4th is a wonderful holiday. this is a great nation and i think people should go out and

enjoy it. we're talking about potential for danger here and that potential exists. but also as americans we're resilient. it shouldn't scare us. it shouldn't cause us to stay at home with when the odds are overwhelming against terrorism affecting anyone of us this weekend. the u.s. suffering its first measles death in 12 years. the department of health and human services says the victim is a woman from washington state who was exposed to measles at a medical facility during an outbreak in spring. her illness went undetected and was confirmed only through an autopsy. a potential speed bump in restoration of diplomat relations with cuba. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says republicans are unlikely to confirm an

. when mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. they're rapists. >> among a wide open field of skilled political veterans, that is the man running near the top of all the key polls in the republican field, donald trump. so if you are one of the other candidates running, what do you do about donald trump? what do you say about those comments? here to weigh in cnn political ta common ta -- let me play you some sound of what they are saying already. listen. >> i don't think donald trump's remarks reflect the republican

party. >> the comments were inappropriate and they have no place in the race. >> i don't agree with him. >> when you label a group of people as rapists and drug dealers that's more about you than about him. >> jeb bush said i do not agree with his remarks. they do not representative the values of the republican parties. that seems pretty crystal clear. >> let's go to the jeb bush comments. he speaks english and spanish. he was asked this question first in spanish. the spanish answer he gave was exactly as you said very strong, doesn't reflect any values. when he was asked the question in english, it was much tamer. it was simply i don't agree, it's that simple. so he was much more aggressive in spanish. i think jeb is very smart. they're all very smart. and they realize there's a segment of america that agrees

with donald trump and they're afraid of saying that openly in english criticizing him too harshly unless they alienate those folks. macy's this week said this does not reflect macy's values. i'm looking for a republican to come up and say this does not reflect republican values. >> why haven't they given a stronger response? >> they have. you just played the clips. they have said -- part of the problem is that frankly unlike macy's, unlike nbc, unlike univision, a lot of these people running for candidate for the republican party don't have an existing business relationship with donald trump. >> right. i hear you. isn't this a softball? why not a full throated repudiation? >> because you don't want to dignify his comments. i've been out of the country for a week. i can't believe i come back and

this tooth ache still hasn't gone away. what berman said is true. there's 100 people running for the republican nomination. at any given point one of them is going to say something that the other 99 may disagree with or think is stupid. these guys have to go out and sell their vision for america. are we going to get into a fight with the crazy uncle who says something stupid at thanksgiving? i >> the problem is your crazy uncle isn't sitting at number two in the national polls right now. donald trump is. >> exactly. >> so rubin, these candidates do they just make it worse when they talk about him? or should they just ignore him completely? >> they can't ignore him. ana is a good friend and a good republican. i tell you this they can't simply ignore him. he is riding high in the polls

for a reason. not because the republicans agree with him, but i think they're circling the wagons around trump because they feel he's been treated unfairly. certainly i don't hear it that way. there are 54 million latinos in this country who don't hear it that way and find this inaccurate, imprecise and insulting. i think the republican party needs to stand up very clearly. if not, maybe we should elect macy's. they have more guts than the republican brand these days. how are they going to stand up to isis in iran and putin if they can't stand up to donald trump? >> ru binbin i love you, but let's not compare macy's to isis. i don't like isis comparisons and metaphors in any context.

we say that donald trump is number two in the polls and he is. and i agree with that because that makes him somewhat legitimate even though a lot of us cringe at the idea of even saying that let's put it in context, guys. there's 14 declared candidates right now. being number two in the polls means having 10%, 12%. it's not like he's at 40%. >> how do you explain how he's leap frogged the over people? >> he's entertaining. he's a celebrity. let's remember what the republican primary was like in 2012. there was a time when rick sanatorium -- he is like watching a horror show the kind of thing i want to watch through fingers in front of my face. i've been fighting with donald

trump since long before it was popular to do it. he's been insutlting me since 2013 and twelve2012. there's an agenda if you want to be elected republican. let's talk about national security. let's talk about hillary's e-mails. and let's stop talking about donald trump. >> if you want to go back to 2012, that's fine. but every single time somebody rose to the polls, the idea is whoever has the football gets tackled by the others. this time trump has the football. my question is why are they not tackling him just like they did in the last go-round? the reason they're not tackling him is, one, they're afraid of him coming back at them with a very sharp tongue and secondly

there is a group of republicans out there who like what he's say saying. and that's dangerous. >> what would you advise your friend jeb bush or marco rubio to do in august or in october at the cnn debate when they will be standing beside donald trump and donald trump may very well say these things? should they turn to him and say what are your saying? you have no shame. do you need those kind of statements? >> initially i would have advised them to laugh him off and treat him as the clown he is. he's not a real candidate. therein lies the problem that it's hard for some people to view him as a real candidate. now, the polls make it sound different. so it's a difficult situation. i think a lot of people don't want to treat him as a legitimate candidate. i put myself in that category. initial i would have said to them laugh the guy off. you don't engage in twitter

trolls. you ignore them. but, you know f he, if he continues to be number two in the polls, if this issue continues to be an issue into august certainly i think they have to make their own statements as to what their belief beliefs are. i'm not sure jeb bush has to go out there and say whatever rubin wants him to say. this is a guy who's been married to a mexican woman for 41 years who he met while he was working at a charitable project building a school in mexico who has been standing up for the integrity of guacamole before that was a thing. i mean, come on guys. >> leaving at guacamole is a great place to leave talking about donald trump. you probably will recall this memorable tv moment. >> your son has been found in

. here we go with the five things you need to know. number one, security has been boosted across the country amid isis inspired threats ahead of the holiday weekend. officials making it clear they are not aware of any specific targets. a buffalo news report says richard matt sent a letter to his daughter before breaking out of prison telling her he'd see her on the outside. there's no indication she had no knowledge of the escape plot in advance. donald trump's miss usa pageant has found a new home. reels will pick up the july 12th broadcast. large protesting in greece

i saw it as a personal challenge. about two-thirds of the way i realized i was processing all of these experiences that i had put away. and i knew there were other combat veterans that needed to do that. the hike provides veterans with all the equipment supplies they need to complete a long distance hike. your mission is to be a civilian again. some of the problems that uh you'reyou -- you're dealing with are hammered away. >> just being around other military is worth more than words can say. >> how many years you got in now? >> 15 years. >> our veterans also receive support along the way. >> you can see how much they care. it helps. >> we help veterans prepare for the next chapter of their life. >> planning to take it as it comes and move on.

>> looking for that sense of calm. i'm going in that direction. >> if you know someone who deserved to be recognizes go to cnnheros.com and tell us ability. this was a shocking tv moment. a father finds out live on television that his missing son had been found in the family's bank statement. basement. that father joins us next. the beast was as long as the boat. for seven hours, we did battle. until i said... you will not beat... meeeeee!!! greg. what should i do with your fish? gary. just put it in the cooler. if you're a fisherman, you tell tales. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more

. your son has been found in your basement. sir? mr. bothuell are you -- >> what? >> yeah. we are getting reports that your son has been found alive in your basement. >> what? >> that was a bizarre moment that charlie bothuell found out his son was found in his basement. mr. bothuell has been charged with torture and child abuse.

the judge has dropped the torture charge. but he and his wife still face child abuse charges. thank you all for joining us. charlie, obviously there has been something happening in your life that all of the world has been watching or at least all of america has been watching. i want to play the sound from the judge. this is what she said during the hearing about your son. >> he's totally did not tell the truth. it's more than just a child being confused and being afraid. they are totally inconsistent stories. >> so she dropped the torture charge against you and your wife. what did you feel when you heard that? >> over joyed. i was just glad the judge saw and stated that the things that my son was saying weren't the truth. and i'm thankful that something that looks like justice is finally starting to be done. >> but you're not out of the woods. i mean you still face very

serious child abuse charges. >> and i'm looking forward to being fully exonerated. >> help us understand what went on. why was your son reported missing for 11 days? where was he? >> i wish i knew. >> as a father you just don't even have a gut feeling of what happened? >> i have a gut feeling but so manies a many aspersions have been cast against me. >> do you feel it involved him? do you feel it was him? because you say you're concerned about your son. you have concerns about your son obviously. >> absolutely. i love my son with all of my heart. i'm concerned this situation -- it's hurt him. it's left him a broken boy. and right now with what's happened with the court, i'm not allowed to reach out to him. but if he decides to reach out to me i'll be there for him. >> that's part of the terms of the case. you can't have contact with him. let's roll things back a little bit. charlie made allegations of

being hit, being struck with a pvc pipe. he made allegations of being forced into a rigorous workout routine that would often last two hours and all sorts of repetitions on an elliptical. did that go on? >> my son also made allegations of being held before. this is the same story he told police two years previously. >> a rigorous workout -- >> my son was in the 98 percentile for obesity and his doctor prescribed a workout plan. >> did it go to the rigorous point? >> rigorous workouts is what is prescribed. there wasn't any abuse. he loved it. he even said on the stand he felt great with how he looked and changes. >> tell me more about little charlie. what kind of kid was he? little guy. i mean he's got a real nice

face big smile, open eyes. what kind of kid was he before all of this? >> great sense of humor. loving kid. with some challenges though. that's how he ended up living with me. grades behavior -- well, most kids don't have problems that are of this concern. >> this was extreme behavior. >> like what? >> two years ago he ran away. the police caught him. >> psychological issues? >> psychological issues. we don't want to beat him up. >> of course not. >> two years ago he ran away. the police found him. he looked them in the eye and said i was kidnapped by a guy the gray hair and held in taunl. >> you're not married to his mom. sometimes kids that are in split homes find themselves struggle with feelings of where do i belong? whose family am i apart of? am i loved?

was there any issue with your son in terms of divorce or the separation with his mom? >> absolutely. he wanted to go back to live with his mother. this is the second time that his mother had sent him to live with me. the first time he was having trouble he was sent to live with me. we got him back on track. all the pictures you see with him smiling on the honor roll and everything. that was after third grade that his mother sent him to live with me. after he got straight f's in the fifth grade his mother sent him to live with me. >> did you have a good relationship? >> absolutely i did. >> let me show you a text message. this isn't a surprise. you saw it in court. let me pull up this text message that your wife sent about your son when he was missing that wrote this text because you both believed that he was trying to avoid these workouts. it said we need to get this money and ship his [ bleep ] i am going to gear him towards completing one of these ex-- maybe

time and effort may help but i have no reason to be hopeful at this point. let's get this money and get him gone. you know i'm an aunt of a lot of children and i help at risk youth. so i'm going to take issue with get him gone. as a human when you hear the word get him gone that's going to set people off. >> if you look at the context, getting him gone to military school or boarding school. my son needed more help than i could give him at home. i'm a registered nurse and with a mental health care background. my southernn needed additional help. he was getting ready to be sent. this was my plan. the day or a couple of hours after i made this very clear to him, then he ran away again. he needed the help. if you see a child that you've been working with for years and

that you know and the things that you are doing at home for him are insufficient then you need to reach out for help. absolutely. the military schools that i looked at the boarding schools, they have full-time programs that are geared toward helping children like my son and that's specifically what i was talking about. >> this is a situation that i think concerned a lot of people when you see a young man like that making these allegations and we know there's serious charges against you. you'll have your day in court. thank you for being here. this is not an easy thing to do. we should let you know we reached out to charlie's mom. she has not responded to our request for an interview. >> thank you. one of hollywood's best character actors j.k. simmons suiting up for a new role. the oscar winner joins us next to talk about that intense experience.

i'm on tejhe edge of my seat already. that was a sneak peek at "terminator genisys." one of the stars only oscar winner j.k. simmons is here with us this morning. welcome. >> thank you. >> there's so many things i have to talk to you about because i'm obsessed with your film "whiplash." congratulations by the way. terrific film. >> thank you. >> the terminator is back in a big way. >> i noticed they deleted my explative in that scene. >> you delivered it beautifully. but you talk in real life about when you first saw arnold schwarzenegger walk in the room. what was that moment like? >> it was very easy to play because my character is a guy who's, you know, kind of sbim intimidated by around's

character. there was no acting required. >> he's your governor. he's an actor. what comes first for you? >> what comes first for me because i'm arnold's generation is mr. universe. this guy has had success in a variety of arenas. >> tell us about the movie. why did you want to do it? >> the script is what it first comes down to. when they told me they wanted me to play this part i always am i little skeptical about is this a story worth telling? i read the story and it's great the way they evolved around's character. but it also is one of those that stand on its own. you don't have to be a fan of the franchise to get what's going on. >> some kids haven't seen the first ones. i'm sure they'll be taking a visit to netflix to recap. you talk about range when you talk about an actor.

you have terrific range. i fell in love with your bad boy guy from oz. we looked at all the awards you dominated with whiplash. story and character always matter to you. >> absolutely. that goes back to the days when i was doing theater and barely paying my rent on my crappy sublet in held'sl's kishtchen. i can't say every choice i've ever made has been perfect and wonderful. >> there's people watching in that place in a crappy sublet in hell's kitchen say nothing to roles that their agent would otherwise want them to take. did you have those doubts those moments where you're like what am i doing? >> yeah. i still have those moments. what am i doing? ridiculous. >> just owning it. just winning oscars. let's talk think about. did you oscar win change your life? >> well, it brings more
