s a series of shark attacks makes many beachgoers nervous. are you safe at the shore? trump's loose lips. stand by to hear some of his most eye-popping campaign moments all at once. the backlash is growing. will his popularity take a hit? we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. wolf blitzer is off today. i'm brianna keilar. you're in "the situation room." breaking now. a scramble by law enforcement to protect americans from terrorists as the july fourth holiday weekend gets under way. and warnings about a possible attack intensify. tonight, unprecedented security measures are in place in major cities across the u.s. from new york to los angeles. new york governor andrew cuomo warning residents that the state is a top target for terrorists. u.s. embassies and diplomatic posts around the world also have been put on notice to review their security because they may be vulnerable if isis or other

terror groups strike in the hours ahead. i'll ask congressman john garamendi what he's learning. he is a leading member of the armed services committee. and our correspondents and analysts are also standing by as we cover all of the breaking news. first to our chief national security correspondent jim sciutto. >> i spoke earlier today with the d.c. chief of police kathy linnear, and she like other counter terror officials said that the threat is real but it's not specific. and that presents a real challenge to law enforcement as to where they allocate resources. one of their focuses now is on what they perceive to be high-profile targets that they imagine could be targets for potential terrorists in the u.s. but that is straining law enforcement resources across the country. in new york city today, ramped-up security ahead of fourth of july fireworks. new york governor cuomo enhancing new plans to enhance monitoring of celebrations

across new york state. this is the new normal across the country. increased security at july fourth events from los angeles to washington to philadelphia. as communities, big and small, respond to an fbi bulletin warning of potential lone wolf attacks timed to the holiday weekend. >> we know a there are a lot of travelers. b, transportation has been and is a target of some of these groups. c, that we're seeing an increasing number of attacks, especially large crowd gatherings. >> reporter: the state of alert extends to americans overseas. the state department ordering all diplomatic posts worldwide to review security. behind the threat a call to arms from isis to supporters around the globe to attack wherever and however they can. this during the muslim holy month of ramadan through the middle of july. the terror group's list of american recruits and sympathizers growing by the week with nearly 50 charges since the start of the year.

>> all they're trying to do now is to inspire one or two or a small number of individuals to conduct attacks and their propaganda begs people to do this in the west and the u.s. in europe in north africa and people are now listening. >> reporter: the u.s. is not alone in facing the threat of isis-inspired attacks. the uk carried out an eerily realistic counterterrorism drill with more than 1,000 emergency personnel early this week. this as the bodies of 30 british citizens gunned down by an isis supporter in tunisia last week arrived home by military escort. another challenge for u.s. government officials, law enforcement, is what to tell the public about this risk. and brianna, they're trying to strike a balance between telling people enjoy the holiday weekend, don't not go to fireworks events, parades, et cetera. but at the same time be aware, and frankly, they're also asking for the public's help here saying that that phrase that's

familiar you see it on subway signs, if you see something, say something. in a way they're depending on that not just for if you see something at an event, but if your neighbor or friend is doing something strange. that's how they catch a lot of these potential suspects. so the point is enjoy the weekend, keep your eyes open. >> jim sciutto, thank you so much. right now there are hundreds of thousands of people getting ready to do just that, gathering here in the nation's capital as holiday celebrations begin. washington clearly among the top potential targets if terrorists were to strike this fourth of july. and cnn's renee marsh joining us now live from the national mall where i know that you've been seeing some of the security that they're setting up ahead of the big events. >> reporter: right, brianna. the perimeter is about three blocks. it extends three blocks from the capitol capitol. capitol hill police saying all their officers are strategically placed around the capitol grounds. we also see miles and miles of

link fencing and concrete and cement barriers along the national mall. clearly the nation's capital is on high alert. but it's those soft targets, the bridges, the tunnels, the train stations that are very difficult to guard. thousands of people at any given moment passing through or over these soft targets. as we move toward the holiday we are seeing a ramped-up police presence at all of those sites. in the nation's capital alone, 600,000 people are expected to take subways. while 2 million flyers per day are also traveling to fourth of july celebrations. but as americans move from point "a" to point "b," law enforcement remains on high alert for terrorists on u.s. soil. >> we prepare for worst-case scenarios. and we have contingencies in place should they occur. >> reporter: those reassurances being echoed ahead of celebrations across the country. >> philadelphia is already part

of an enhanced security network. >> reporter: despite the assurances there's only so much authorities can do to secure so-called soft targets. >> what i fear the most is what we saw in tunisia last weekend. which is one or two people with automatic weapons, and they simply go into a place where it's really crowded or they go to a bridge where traffic is stopped or a tunnel and just simply taking out 40 50 people. that would be as effective as any large-scale bomb. >> reporter: isis has been encouraging followers to launch attacks wherever they can. >> look behind me. it's the most iconic image of america. so we know that it is something that people who don't like us would want to do something and maybe even try to make a statement. >> these kind of targets are soft targets, they're very easy to go after. you've got a gun and you're willing to die for your beliefs. >> reporter: authorities say the best thing anyone here can do is be aware of their surroundings.

and this they see something that doesn't look right, alert authorities immediately. brianna, behind me is where that fourth of july concert will happen tomorrow. they're expecting thousands and thousands of people to pack in here on the west side of the capitol to take in all the sights and sounds. and of course law enforcement will have their eyes closely on this crowd here. but other places where we are seeing a stepped-up presence or extra vigilance, at airports. we do know that tsa, they are on their ps and qs so to speak, they are doing random checks. you may notice that as well if you're flying this holiday. >> that is some comfort for sure renee marsh, on the national mall. i want to bring in cnn justice reporter evan perez. this is a big deal in new york as we've heard from the governor of new york andrew cuomo. what is that state doing to beef up security? >> one of the things they're

doing is they're activating their emergency operations there. this is the kind of thing they do when they expect natural disasters, for instance. and he's said that he's instructed this increased security not only in new york city but around the state. and we know for instance, that they're planning to do more monitoring of these cameras that are everywhere especially in lower manhattan. partly because they want to be able to keep an eye on the crowds that are moving through the city. the other thing that we know is being done is that law enforcement is going to keep very close tabs on some of these social media accounts. because we've seen in the past, for instance in garland, texas, just a few weeks ago, before an attack there are times when people post what they're about to do. because frankly they're proud laugh they're about to do. these are the things they're keeping an eye on hoping they have enough notice to be able to take action to prevent any terrorist attack. >> all right, evan perez, thanks so much for that report. i want to talk more now about this terror threat with

congressman john garamendi, a california democrat member of the armed services committee. so he knows everything and he's going to share that with us. knowing what you do know how would you characterize this threat that seems somewhat vague and kind of broad for this weekend? >> well it certainly is vague and broad. but it's quite possibly real. i think the most important thing for us too, they say see something, say something. but almost always a lone wolf is in some household or in some community somewhere, and there are people that are nearby that ought to be aware of something strange happening with that individual and that should be reported. that's probably the very best way to get ahead of this. we know that we are monitoring very closely the various twitter accounts and facebook accounts within the aw. and sometimes that leads to those 50 arrests that we've already had this year. so there are things that are

being done at the national level. there are certainly things being done at the lovell level. i think each and every one of us have a responsibility to watch over our community, to watch our neighborhood and to pay attention to people that are doing something that doesn't appear to be correct, that may be involved in this. >> are military bases on alert here? are they experiencing heightened security? >> well they have been at heightened security for about the last two, three months now. they'll remain on that. overseas the same thing is going on. you did talk about the diplomatic posts. all of those things are there. but we're going to have to have a long-range strategy here to deal with isis. certainly we're fighting them along with our colleagues in the middle east. and that's going to continue. but we're going to have to develop a strategy to deal with these violent extreme organizations. isis being the most prominent and the most dangerous right now. we also have home-grown violent

extreme organizations. some of the white supremacist organizations. we saw the disaster that brought to south carolina. so we have to be alert on all of this. and that's going to take the attention of the government both federal, state, and local, and certainly the international. we're watching. will we miss something? we hope not. we're going to do the very best we can. but again, individuals across america, there are 300 plus million of us all of us have eyes all of us are listening, and all of us ought to be aware that if something strange appears in your neighborhood or at an event, say something. talk to the police. >> so isis congressman, actually the call that the group has issued is for the month of ramadan. it says basically that if you kill people during the holy month, you will be rewarded for that. is this focus on this holiday weekend too narrowed down in? should this be extended through

the end of ramadan through mid-july mid-july mid-july? >> i suspect this is something we're going to live through into the future until isis is brought to its knees and no long area threat anywhere in the world require think when i talk to leaders in the mud limb community, what what isis is saying is a perversion of islam. it is really off-base according to those who are in the islamic community. and so they're using that relation to really carry out a terrorist situation around the world. i certainly saw that in tunisia. you've seen it additional attacks in sinai and egypt. it's something that we're just going to have to deal with and do the very best we can in the war in iraq and syria and also this is going on in africa and in other parts of the world. so we need a strategy that deals with this radical view of islam which is as i say, not the

mainstream. it is way out on the far fringes of that religion. in our country, we have many many muslims who are every bit a part of america. they're watching their community. we've had a case in southern california a few years back where an fbi informant tried to get into -- did get into a mosque and was appearing to be radical. the leaders of that mosque reported him to the fbi. and they go, oh, yeah, uh-huh. well that's the kind of working that all of us need to do in america. that's to pay attention, be part of this great country, and celebrate the fourth of july. >> and i do want to ask you about this strategy to combat radicalization. i'm going to get in a quick break and we'll be right back with you, congressman john garamendi, on the house armed services committee. that's amazing. it's amazing. this is amazing. that's amazing! real people are discovering surprising things at chevy. we're sold. it's so pretty. they're good-looking cars. it feels great.

we are back now with congressman john garamendi, a member of the house armed services committee. we are monitoring right now the terrorist threat here in the u.s. during this fourth of july holiday weekend. we want to get his insight considering there is huge concern about a possible attack by isis sympathizers. i want to ask you about something that one of your colleagues congresswoman martha mcsally told us. she said this week that there are only 16 individuals in the federal government who are working on counter radicalization. you just mentioned how important the strategy to tackle that is. is the u.s. allocating resources in this fight correctly? >> i don't think so. i think she's correct. we don't talk about it much on the armed services committee. usually we talk about what is called kinetic, that is guns bombs, rockets, the like.

but this issue of having a different message, the proper american message, the message of america, the message of hope and opportunity, and also the message of what i would say mainstream islam is all about, we really need to ramp that up. we do have voice of america. but i think frankly it's not effective. the new kinds of media that are now being used social media, twitter, all of the other ways in which communications now occur, we need to wrap that up. i think there's also a responsibility on the part of those organizations -- facebook twitter, and the like -- when it is a known terrorist operation using facebook or twitter or whatever, those should be shut down. there are procedures legal procedures that should be followed. but we ought not allow those kinds of communication mechanisms to exist when they

are known to be directly connected to isis and engaged in trying to prop bandize or to radicalize people in the united states or really any other country. >> how do you combat some of the social media when there's so many accounts of isis sympathizers, of isis propaganda tens of thousands of them on twitter alone, for instance? >> well i think there's mainstream particularly mainstream islam, really needs to step forward and to really tell the proper story of that religion. and not allow it to be captured by the radical islam that we see with isis. that's one way. the other -- that's really not a government operation. i think that's part of what that religious leaders ought to be doing. on the government side we do have organizations -- i mentioned voice of america, which is really quite old -- but

nonetheless, does have the responsibility in the new media also. and that's putting out the proper story. also we can use in those -- for example, the middle east countries, there are mechanisms that we could use to tell the story of america in a positive way and all the social media, and certainly on the mainstream media, the normal telecommunications. so those are ways that we can and we really ought to ramp it up. because it really is the hearts and minds issue. we often talk about that going way back into past wars the vietnam war specifically. you have to win that fight. we also have to tell the story of the good things that america does. and finally, clearly the iraq war, the second iraq war, really created a very serious challenge for us in that it put is right smack in the middle

destabilized the iraq area and allowed in some ways for this schism between the shia and sunni. i don't know that we're going to be able to put that back together but we are gained there. and there we need to rally the countries in the area that are frankly at far greater risk than we are, even though we do have a risk here in the united states. >> all right, congressman garamendi, thanks so much for being with us. i know it's triple digits where you are. happy fourth. we wish you a lot of air conditioning as you celebrate. >> happy birthday to america. >> that's right. thanks so much congressman. just ahead, teenagers locked up in adult prisons, sometimes for years. we have a shocking new report that reveals the nightmare some of them are living through. plus a fisherman's frightening encounter with a shark. that's right. right in the water with the shark. all of this happening as at least ten attacks have occurred

we are following breaking news in colorado where a flight for life helicopter has crashed and injured medical personnel on board. it had taken off from a hospital in frisco colorado when witnesses say it appeared to struggle did gain altitude and

it spiraled to the ground and exploded. i want to get the latest from steve lipshire the public information officer for lake dillon fire rescue on the phone. steve, we have the description there of what happened. but do you have a sense of what caused this why this helicopter strained to gain altitude? >> unfortunately, we don't have any preliminary indications of what caused this to crash. it's just way too early in the investigation. >> how are those on board? tell us this was the medical personnel but no patient on board? >> that's correct. there were three crew members on board. and all of them suffered injuries. they were immediately taken to the hospital adjacent to the crash site. and i don't have an update on their condition at this point. >> okay do we know if those injuries are life threatening? do we know if any of them are not? >> i don't have any indication

another on the conditions of the people on board. there was one bystander on the ground who rushed to their rescue and that person suffered some minor injuries. but that's -- >> a byattend are did. tell us about the supplies that the helicopter was carrying what the helicopter was in the process of doing. >> not sure. it was taking off from the heli pad at the hospital. heading out on some flight. i don't even know what they were doing. it was not a medical mission. >> okay. steve lipshire thank so much lake dillon fire rescue we'll continue to monitor this a medical helicopter crash in frisco, colorado. a shocking expose is revealing the horrors that some teenagers are facing as they're locked up in adult prisons, sometimes for years. you're about to see disturbing video of a 17-year-old michigan girl who was serving six months in an adult prison for a minor offense. but because she failed to meet

good behavior standards, she was resentenced to five years. her emotional reaction to the news led guards to restrain her. again, i want to tell you this video is hard to watch. >> no! i can't breathe, i can't breathe! >> try to breathe, hon. >> please, don't do this, please! help me please! >> with me now is dana liebelson, the reporter who wrote this expose for "the huffington post." chaka singor former inmate author of the book "righting my wrongs." cnn law enforcement analyst cedric alexander. he's the president of the national organization of black law enforcement executives. we're also joined by monique presley, a trial attorney specializing in civil rights

litigation. dana, this is a fantastic report that you put together here. tell us about what you found about young people who have committed crimes and end up in prison with adults. >> so at last count there were almost 6,000 kids held in adult prisons in the united states. so i went to michigan to investigate how some of them are treated. and what i discovered is that they are subject to the same disciplinary regime as adults. whether sol carry confinement or use of force. and i found that really astounding. because when you interview some of these inmates, who are 16 17 maybe as young as 14 years old, they look like children. >> are they being -- they're in prison a lot of times, as i understand from your report with people who have committed much worse crimes than they committed, right? >> yeah, that's correct. i think -- i went into the story thinking okay i'm going to deal with a lot of children who are in for murder. and that wasn't the case. you know i had talked to one inmate who was in for throwing a

brick. another one who was in for -- >> this woman in the video threw the brick? >> yes, that's correct. >> there's a racial disparity as well? >> yeah, i think what we found -- there was one study in chicago that found out of 250 youth who are moved into the adult system only one of them was white. so when you look at some of these numbers, they're pretty revealing. >> how does the legal system monique, look out for these youngsters? especially when as dana points out in her great report across town a white child in the same city could be getting community service for some of these same crimes. >> which means that the system is failing these children across the board. it's not just that once they've been sentenced that the prison system is failing them in improperly placing them into adult population. it's that judges prosecutors, and even defense attorneys who aren't skilled are not using the subjectivity that they've been given through these laws to do what's in the best interests of

these children. one of the things that i love about dana's report is that she calls them children. not juvenile offenders. not any of these words that we use to ignore the fact that we have minors who are being placed in adult population. and there they end up raped, they end up sodomized, they end up with things happening to them that never should. that means once they go into the prison system that someone has to stay with them. not just someone assigned their case but that the lawyers who are supposed to be looking out for them are making sure that they're okay after the sentencing that the judges are using the subjectivity that they use for the white counterpart who's living across town whose parents could afford an attorney that they give that same amount of subjectivity that same chance at a lesser sentence, to someone in the system whose parents are nowhere to be found. >> it seems when you have a young person who is incarcerated like this they're almost propelled on a worse path than

they were on before. tell us from your experience from being someone placed in the system at a young age, and actually breaking out of it just how difficult that is. >> that's extremely difficult for a child to exist in an adult -- an adult prison environment. when i went to prison i was 19 years old. and throughout the course of my incarceration, i witnessed 14 15 16-year-olds being housed with adults. and they just can't make that type of adjustment. it's a very volatile predatory environment. there are no outlets for them to receive counseling or guidance except from other men who are already incarcerated. and so it's just such a tragic experiment for them to go into that environment. to me i think it's one of the most barbaric inhumane things we can do to kids and then think that they'll be normalized when they return to society. >> you recently wrote a letter to kalief browder who passed

away in prison killed himself. you said to him, i know what it's like to be pushed to the breaking point, to be starved, abandoned, and abused by officers. what did you go through? >> so i was incarcerated for 19 years. out of that 19 years, 7 1/2 was in solitary confinement. and so just watching that video, it reminded me of all the experiences that i had of watching other young men be abused and be restrained for days at a time be starved and fed this concoction called food loaf. when i heard about kalief browder's death, immediately i felt compelled to reach out through a letter to really share with people what it's like being in that environment. just imagining how lonely and isolated he felt coming home after having gone through such a traumatic experience. >> cedric you have this experience of being a police officer. you're also a psychologist which is a tremendous -- provides tremendous insight that

is so helpful when you're talking about jails in a way becoming mental health institutions and where there are so many problems as we see young people go into them. talk about the impact psychologically of being placed in an adult prison on a young person. >> i think miss presley hit it on target. it's very difficult for young people at such an early age who are still in their developmental stages 13 14 15 16 years of age, to be incarcerated with adults who are in some cases, in many cases, could very easily take advantage of these young people. these young people regardless of whatever crime they may have committed, they're still growing. they're still developing. they're still going through a stage of maturity if you will physically biologically emotionally. and then their life becomes further complicated by being imprisoned with adults who may not necessarily have their best

interests in mind. this is a very complicated issue. and it's an issue i think, one thing that this program is bringing to bear at this very moment brianna, is that a lot of citizens across this country do not recognize or know that many of these young people are being incars rated and oftentimes not necessarily for violent crimes they're imprisoned for, but maybe for much lesser charges. being incarcerated with adults who are in their 20s 30s 40s et cetera. it is something that i think that we as a nation certainly as a criminal justice system need to step back and take a look at. >> it's such an important conversation. cedric thanks for being with us. chaka, thank you for being with us. monique, thanks for being here. dana thank you for starting this conversation great report in "the huffington post." just ahead, donald trump unplugged. we're going to hear some of the outrageous remarks overshadowing his presidential campaign. s with passion.

there have been a series of gruesome attacks that have officials and beachgoers worried on one of the busiest beach weekends of the year. cnn meteorologist jennifer grey with more. she's in wrightsville beach, north carolina. >> reporter: new video out of florida shows a kayaker fishing for grouper and getting a bigger bite than he bargained for, a bull shark. then frantically swimming for safety as he says others circled nearby. close encounters with sharks have holiday beachgoers on alert especially on the east coast. >> saw about a five-foot sand shark. it was within eight feet of me. >> they're around us more. closer. moving around. >> reporter: at least ten attacks in the carolinas since june. seven in north carolina alone. that's one more than the yearly average for both states in just the past month. >> a lot of people utilizing the beach. and this time of year we also have the migration of a lot of coastal species. >> reporter: experts say along

with shark migration, a buffet of nesting sea turtles and warmer saltier water could attract more sharks to the beach. in sharing fishermen are reeling in sharks from the pier at myrtle beach. babies yes. moms not far off. >> we see bigger sharks out here it's scary. >> reporter: the victims of the ten recent bites range in age from 8 to 68 with two teenagers losing limbs after their encounters. >> any shark bite is pretty rare, a rare occurrence. to have all these bites occurring recently is very unusual. >> reporter: unusual and unintentional. experts say humans are not targets for sharks and that these attacks are unfortunate accidents. >> when your hands and feet are splashing, this looks like fish bellies to them. they realize they made a mistake and spit us back out again. >> reporter: still, those looking to soak up the sun here have mixed feelings about sharing the water. >> i would just try and put the shark thing off my mind so i wouldn't get scared. i just tried to enjoy it.

but i did also be careful. >> reporter: the beaches will remain open lifeguards on duty here saying sharks aren't the biggest danger this weekend. >> i'd be more concerned about driving down to the beach and getting into a car wreck on the way here than i would be having an incident with a shark. >> jennifer grey reporting. there are more than two tons of supplies hurtling through space bound for the international space station where astronauts are eagerly awaiting the delivery. the last three missions to get food water, hardware, and more to the station failed. two of them ending in spectacular explosions like this one. cnn's tom foreman here with a closer look. is this a case of fourth time a charm? >> it's a case of it's space, it's still really really hard. and that's the challenge out there. and even as this mission is on its way to the space station and it eases some concerns about making sure the astronauts have all they need including two americans up there, it still raises some very serious questions here on earth about what went wrong along the way.

and some insist it is all making space less expensive. >> but as you drive the costs down and try to come up with new ways of building rockets in a way that hopefully is cheaper, you're ultimately going to find the outer edges of the envelope as we say. they're pushing the envelope right now. >> reporter: against the backdrop of those challenges spacex and boeing have been given government contracts to build the next system to take americans into space. so u.s. astronauts won't have to hitch rides with the russians anymore. nasa says the setbacks will not upset that plan. >> we've always assumed that we would lose a vehicle every so often. spaceflight is very hard. >> reporter: and they say amid all the rockets' red glares the u.s. remains a leader in space exploration. >> and at the same time we should feel very happy and very grateful to the fact that there are so many nations in the world, so many entities international collaborations

that are producing results that no single nation can achieve alone. >> so like we started, space is hard. but there are still many successes out there too. in the next few days we're going to get more images coming back from a mission that has flown for years to pluto. quite an extraordinary success story, even against the backdrop of the many challenges. >> fascinating stuff. tom foreman, great report. just ahead, he's facing huge fallout from his remarks about mexicans but donald trump just keeps on talking. his controversial remarks in his own words next.

tonight, donald trump is creating political fireworks. more latino leaders speaking out against him after he described mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists. the outrage over getting worse the more that trump says. listen to his remarks over the past couple of weeks, beginning with the original bombshell during his campaign announcement. >> they're sending people that have lots of problems. they're bringing those problems with us. they're bringing drugs. they're bringing crime. they're rapists. and some i assume are good people. i love mexico. i love the mexican people. two waiters came up to me mr. trump, we love you. where are you from? mexico. i love you, too. the country aren't sending the finest. they're sending people that have a lot of problems.

i basically said this. we need to strengthen our borders. they said i'm a racist. to get the cars and trucks over here let the illegals drive them in. they're coming in anyway. i do great with latino voters. i employ latinos. they don't want them. they send them to the united states. the united states is run by stupid people. some are killers. some are good. we don't know what we are getting. i'm not just saying mexicans. i'm talking about people from all over that are killers and rapists. i have taken a lot of heat. it's unnecessary, very unfair heat because i love the mexican people. how can i not love people that give me tens of millions of dollars for apartments? i love them for a lot of reasons. for their spirit. i talk about mexico and i love mexico. every time i talk about it they accuse me of being a racist. you have illegals that are pouring across the borders.

i was criticized for the border. the truth is it's true. they think it's like mother theresa. i said drug dealers. i said killers. i said rapists. they made the word rapist -- they picked that up. i love the folks from south america. they are friends of mine. many work for me. many are friends. many buy apartments from me. i have great love for the mexican people. i always have. they lukeike me. no apology because everything i said is 100% correct. read the newspapers. you have 30 million, nobody knows what it is. it used to be 11 million. i don't think it's 11. i heard you probably have 30 million. you have to give them a path and you have to make it possible for them to succeed. you have do that. the bad ones -- there are bad ones -- you have to get out and fast. i've been told by so many his pan ins -- so many hispanics, thank you. i will i will do well. pick up the stories on rape.

it's unbelievable when you look at what's going on. all i'm doing is telling the truth. >> i read "the washington post." i read the "huffington post." that's about women being raped. it's not about criminals entering the border. >> something is doing the raping. somebody is -- women being raped. who is doing the raping? who is doing the raping? how can you say such a thing? >> clearly, donald trump has given us a lot to discuss. i want to bring in chris moody. we have sayrerah murray and jeff zeleni. jeff after 2012, mitt romney lewis s loses. we need to reach out to hispanic americans. when you look at the map, they need to they have to bring in the growing group.

how does this work with that? >> don't think this is what they had in mind when they were doing the autopsy. who knew he said all that in a couple weeks? imagine if he stays in the race a couple months. there's one number to keep in mind 27%. that's the number of hispanic voters that mitt romney won. george w. bush in 2004 won 40%. the math does not exist for republicans to win back the white house if they don't do better in the hispanic vote. >> how concerned are you hearing republicans? >> i think they are concerned that republicans could be painted under the same brush as donald trump. dps s democrats are eager do that and make them all look like buff buffoons. we got another statement today from florida senator marco rubio who calls these comments offensive and divisive. that's a harsher tone. >> he made these comments during his announcement speech initially. i would say the harshest ones

that he made chris. it seems like they have percolated and it's now -- it has been this slow burn. now it's this huge uproar. why is that? >> donald trump isn't someone who backs down. he repeats it. when he tries to explain himself, it gets worse. i talked to a number of republican activists that do a lot of outreach to latino voters. one of the groups is part of thekoch brothers. they have invested so much in this. they have done well as far as getting their people in communities. donald trump comes in and says all of these things. they are worried they will set the efforts back. >> do republicans need -- marco rubio put out a statement. do republicans need to come out more strongly? >> they thought donald trump would implode on his own and they wouldn't have to engage directly. as we saw from the clips, he

managed to say a lot and do a lot of damage in a short amount of time. that's why we are seeing republicans feel like they need to be more aggressive on this. rick perry, former texas governor, was another one more aggressive in his comments denouncing what trump has been saying. >> what do you think republicans have to do? do you think donald trump will ultimately implode? >> we will see. like this week certainly he did i palestinianish-- he ends in a more did i-- i'm not sure -- marco rubio responded to a question from a reporter. they put out a written statement. no one has gone on tv to talk about this or give a speech or statement. it's a leadership moment for some of these. there's only 16 candidates running, 15 plus donald trump. someone can take a moment here -- we have not heard from jeb bush. if this continues, he think we will will. >> it's like they don't want to

dignify it. we will see how long that works. thanks for being with me and happy fourth. i'm brianna keilar in "the situation room." thank you for watching. to our viewers here in the united states happy fourth of july. newsroom with kate baldwin starts right now. next america on alert. law enforcement ramped up across the country. 7,000 extra officers armed and ready in new york city. all on guard against a possible july 4th terror attack. richard matt's final letter to his daughter. did officials miss a big clue that could have stopped the escape? this is one big fish tale with the video to back it up. he ends up in the water with a shark. he is joining us live.
