public transportation. once they got here, they had to have their temperature checked, put on face masks, and make sure they maintain six feet between each other on the floor. there will be no eating, no handshaking, no physical contact at all. there's some plexiglas erected throughout the trading floor to help the traders maintain that social distancing. even as the new york stock exchange contemplated opening up the trading floor, not only did they have to deal with health and safety issues, but legal issues as well. traders are now required to sign liability waivers acknowledging the risk going into the exchange, that they still could get the virus. if they do, they waive their rights to sue the nyse. brianna? >> very interesting. thank you for that report, alison, from outside the new york stock exchange. top of the hour now, you are

watching cnn as special live coverage of the coronavirus pandemic. the u.s. is just hours away from reaching 100,000 deaths. it's an unfathomable loss of life, solidifying the u.s. is undergoing the largest outbreaking in the worked. let's leave this map up so we can see where the cases are rising, where they're falling, where they're remaining steady. 17 states are currently seeing an increase in cases. crowds have been packing beaches, boardwalks and pools. you have seen that, a few masks inside. downward treads are urging one world health official to urge caution. he not only fears a second wave, but a second peak in the first wave. >> we also need to be cognizant

that it can jump up at any time. we cannot make assumptions that just because it's on the way now, it would keep on going down. we may get a second peak in this wave. >> joining me now is cnn's knit watt. he's in santa monica, california. nick, the country is seeing they clusters of cases develop from pool parties to graduation parties. give us the details. >> reporter: it was no surprise that people were going to see the start of summer as some kind of turnsing point. in fact the governor of new york this morning said as much. he said, we had about 200 news cases today, the lowers since we've seen this began, we should now focus on reopening, but smart reopening. some people, some or places have taken mechanicial day as a pivot, believing this pandemic is over. it is not, not even close.

. will there be a fallout? well, we'll find out in a week or two. >> the responsible thing is to self-quarantine. don't put your loved ones at risen, and make smarters decision. >> i could get killed by covid today or hit by a bus or car tomorrow. >> the governor says some of us might need to learn a lesson the hard way. >> it's disappointing when we have a lack of discipline by a few outliers. how do you remedy that? part of it is reeducation and part of it is experience. >> an atlanta prep school which held a drive-you this graduation is now seeing a rash of covid cases. there was an unsanctioned gathering afterwards. >> we'll soar more and more events like this, unfortunately. >> in vernon, california more

than 150 workers at this meat processing plant have tested positive. outbreaks reported at eight other facilities in the city. and while the president's former chief of staff says this -- >> if we are careful about social distancing, putting on masks and so forth, we should be able to go back to work sooner theater ran later. >> the president retweets mockery of his presidential rival joe biden for wearing one. new jersey will in july allow outdoor social distanced graduations, but this church is back open for worship in defiance of the government. >> we feel we have a first amendment right to open up our church this time. >> other than wearing a hazmat suit, i don't know what else we could make it safer. we have no choir. >> the cdc's guidance was quietly removed from their site. cdc numbers show nearly 80% of the covid deaths are among 65

and other, but nearly 80% of the cases are under 65. today merck announced it's also entering the race, but an effective vaccine is still far from guaranteed. >> all the suffering, pain, death and so forth we've had so far, only about 5% of u.s. citizens have been infected. this virus will not rest at all until it gets to 60% or 70%. good news for sports fan. at 4:30 eastern, the nhl will make an announcement about the return. the brooklyn nets had some players training today in their facility. the dolphins owner says there would be an nfl season. they are planning on having fans in the hard rock stadium in -- a testing facilities opened today

at dodger stadium, so it doesn't look great for the return of baseball to l.a. anytime seen. >> i saw the parking lot is where they're keeping a lot of rental cars not in use, too. also a bad sign there. nick watt, thank you so much in santa monica. new rochelle, new york, once the epicenter of the crisis, reopening s in march the outbreak centered around an orth dock siynagogue. >> new rochelle at this point. >> and it is a significant issue

for us. the new rochelle at 108 new york city is at 36. i mean, that is really breathtaking. >> since then, the city has seen more than 2800 cases. with a steady decline, the city is beginning a phaseded reopening. mayor, thank you so much for being here. it is wonderful to see you. phase one includes construction and manufacturing, restaurants and recreation are further down the line. with what you have seen over the last couple months, how significant is it to you that you are reopening your city and that it can reopen? >> it's very significant. i would add retail for curbside or pickup. having been in the national spotlight, i think the people of

new rochelle take special satisfaction in reaches this milestone. we are cautiously optimistic until we achieve a full reopening. we want to do our part to lead our region into a strong and robust recovery. at the same time we know we're not out of the woods. there are still active case here in new rochelle, as there are throughout new york state. if we let down our guard prematurely, if we neglect to wear face masks, if we don't stay smart, all the numbers will start moving in the wrong direction. we're happy to have gotten here, but we know we have a way to go. >> tell us what it was like at the height of the pandemic and how it's changed. >> it was a surreal experience, beyond the obvious concern of one's health, a city like ours is not accustomed to being in

the glare of the national spotlight. since then we have gone toward being a -- new rochelle was not in worst condition. it's just we had the experience first, so we were a leading edge. i have to say i am so proud of the way the people in this city have risen to the occasion, neighbors supporting neighbors, not-for-profit organization, community groups doing amazing work, the business community preparing for the opportunities. we're especially excited about the opportunities in new rochelle, that construction can resume. so as hard as this has been, we do feel we're poised to make significant progress, and it's really up to all of us to continue acting responsibly. >> like you said, there's a lot of places that have been in the situation that you were in, it's just that you were first. as your city is beginning to

reopen just in time for summer, i want to listen to some reason that americans have for not knowledge social distancing and mask guidelines. >> i mean, everybody's got to go somehow, you know what i mean? >> you mean die? >> yeah. >> reporter: how come you're not worried that someone can walk by and get you sick. >> because there's enough wind and air out here. >> i'm not going to wear a mask, okay? i don't feel this covid will affect mer or touch me, and i don't feel i'm going to pause it on to someone else. >> if he's north wearing a market, i'm not wearing one. if he's not worried, i'm not worried. >> reporter: the president? >> yes, sir. >> what do you think when you hear people talk like that. >> it's remarkably selfish and ignorant. almost every day i'm speaking to health care providers in the front lines, and hearing about the sacrifices they are making,

talking to our first responders. not long ago i stood with members of our fire department as we honored the loss of a beloved fire captain, who had given decades of his life and suck coupled to covid-19. tell their families you were too inconvenienced to wear a mask. it's a small sacrifice. it's the least we can do to honor those given much more than we are. unfortunately i think those attitudes are the minority. i think the great majority of the americans and certainly the great majority of people here in new rochelle are acting responsibly, are recognizing that we're all in this together, and only by acting in concert can we fully put this behind us. you're right. the majority i think 70-something percent, but the remaining 30% is still big. mayor, we appreciate you being with us. >> thank you for having me.

the crisis in brazil is getting worse as the country's president dismisses the virus as a little flu. cnn is around the world. plus should more states allow mail-in voting? i'll be speaking with alabama 'secretary of state, who is backing president trump on this. and as the president continuing to push a baseless murder conspiracy, the widower is now breaking his silence, saying president trump is perverting his wife's death. hear his letter and why twitter will not intervene.

as states grapple with how to handle upcoming election without spreading coronavirus, president trump is taking a

stand against mail-in ballots, tweeting the baseless claim it will create the greatest rigged election. he's also threatened to cut funding. add the republican national committee is suing california to stop the state from mailing absentee ballots to all voters. studies have found no evidence of widespread voter fraud. my next guest is assuring the president, his state, alabama will abide by the president's wishes. we have provided an excuse provision for anyone who wants to vote absentee, and polling sites will be open for anyone. alabama secretary of state john merrill joins me now. thank you for coming on up. great to be with you. thank for having me as your

guest. i want to ask you about this excuse provision. would this include someone who is concerned about public health, who says i'm not comfortable going in person because of coronavirus. would they be able to use that as an could us for getting an absentee ballot? >> they would, brianna. actually in alabama, we are an absentee excuse state, which means there are a number of provision available for the voter to choose to indicate whether or not he meets one of those standards when it comes to excusing themselves from the polls on election day. however, whenever we're in a declared state of emergency, like we are now, the code of alabama gives me as secretary of state, the ability to assign a reason for people to choose if they want to vote absentee, and they do not meet one of those criteria. the one that we have elected for people to choose is the one that says i'm ill or infirmed, and

will be able to unable to appear at my regular polls site. >> so you're saying they can choose this one they have an illness or infirmity, but the difference would be an onus on them to request an absentee ballot ahead of time? >> yes, they simply need to mark that. they can download that application at our website at alabamavotes.gov or call our office. we will direct them to their local circuit clerk. they can call their local circuit clerk if they have that number, if they don't have a way of downloading from the computer, we'll be happy to mail them an application and send them a self-addressed envelope so they know where to return it when they get ready to complete

it do you worry, with rapidly changing circumstances, putting the onus on a person to request an absentee ballot, using foresoo i got this virus doesn't actually allow, could actually impact public health in your state? >> i don't think so, brianna. another thing that should be noted, as the trend continues to improve in our state, one of the things we want everyone to now is all polls sites will be open for our 3,593,385 registered voters. we want our people to do what they feel comfortable doing. if they would rather vote absentee we've had a period of time of more than 100 days to make application.

july the 9th is the date. are you aware that the second wave in 1918 was actually the most deadly, that actually half of the people who died in 1918 from the pandemic then died between september and december, which would put the election right in the middle there? >> of course we're talking about a difficult time with less information, but i'm no scientist. i do follow the guidelines that have been designed by the cdc, as well as our public health state of officer, who is doing a tremendous job, along withor iv. >> the president believes the mail-in voting would result in a

rigged election do you agree with him? >> i've been secretary of state 5 years, 4 months, 8 days. we've had two elections overturned, five of the six convictions were convicted for fraudulent activity related to absentee balloting. i know that for a fact. i also know -- >> are you aware that the research shows that in-person voting is more likely to vote with voter fraud, which overall is basically nonexistent? it's kind of odd we're having this conversation. it's most -- >> yeah, they're entitled to their own opinion, but they're entitled to their own fans. the facts in our state have shown voter fraud. we've had people convicted ar they're currently incarcerated. we're going to continue to make it hard to cheat in alabama. >> i recall you using that same

line in 2017, when i came on and talked about how allegations of voter fraud in a midterm election actually had not come to fruition. >> yes, ma'am. the. >> even as you describe the numbers, it's not something that is at all widespread but that's the reason why you would want a situation where more people are coming to the polls? >> brianna, we want to break records for voting, just like we have over the last five major elections. we're very, very proud of that. we have turned the tide, so to speak, in the state of alabama by registering 1,519,888 new voters sin i've been secretary of state. >> are you okay with the result of your decision being that there are more people coming to vote in person, which could put them and even -- i mean, republican voters, oldest voters

trend republican, so these are even voters in your own -- people who work at polls tend to be older. >> that's the reason why we're giving folks an option. if they're concerned about going to one of the polls sites in alabama, we want them to vote absentee. we're going to make it easy for them to do that. we want them to do what they feel comfortable doing. i'm not removing the liberty and freedoms of the people. i am for giving them all the information, about that they should do that's in their best intere interest. >> so how is what you're doing then with the excuse they're able to use one of these excuses, how is up in different that ma mail-in ballots, we mail the direct mail-in ballots that

we've been hearing about than what the president was talking about. or ballots to all voters in that state. we're opposed to that for a number of reasons, not the least of which is -- resist an article from four years ago, where one person in california received 83 ballots mailed to that particular individual, all directi mailed for that person. that's a problem. that's not a problem we'll have in alabama. another thing you need to know -- >> you know that's not widespread, sir. you know that's not widespread. >> look, let's be serious. if it happened one time, it's one time too many. we're going to do everything we can -- >> couldn't you say the same thing about someone being infected with coronavirus? if it happens once, it's one time too many, because they stood in line at polls and they were inside a room?

>> i'm not a physician, and i don't make health decisions. i was not trained in that way. i have been trained in election. as you know, because you're having me as your guest, i recognize one of the top election experts. i'm proud of that. >> but your decision will impact the health of people very likely, certainly potentially. >> if they're concerned, they need to vote absentee. we need to make it easier for them to do that. >> and even if the onus now being on them creates a situation where -- i guess my question is, so is the onus on them, they might have to decide on election day, you know what, i didn't do this, or even the health situation in my state changed in the last week, i guess i need to go in person. >> we have millions of people watching or broadcast right now, as you're talking to me.

some of those folks are in our state. those people that are concerned about this issue can pick up the phone today, call their local circuit clerk or call our office and we'll make sure they get an absentee ballot application. they don't have to wait until election day. we want them to vote early if they want to. we've defined the process for them to be able to do so, and we've made it as easy as possible. >> when is the deadline for them being able to vote absent year in relation to the election? >> yeah, july 9th is the last day to make application. july 13th is the last day to turn your ballot in -- >> you're asking them to make a health decision based on november for july. >> no, no, no. we're not talking about november now, brianna. november is a long ways away. >> yes, that's right. how many times.

-- >> it's 44 days until the last day to make application. >> that's a month and a half, right? >> but look, we've well more than 100 days when we started this process, we were at 117 days, and every week -- >> i guess my point is they have a month -- they have a decision to make based on the health situation being a month -- i understand what you're saying, but the deadline date, a month and a half out. >> right. >> so how quickly things have changed in your state in the last month and a half. >> that's right. if they're concerned or if they're not concerned, brianna, look, i voted absentee in march. so my vote has already been in the ballot box for two months. we want to encourage people who are concerned to go ahead and vote absentee. you can vote today for the july 14th runoff. we want people to have their voice heard and their vote counted. >> and what if they're not

concerned today, but after the deadline and before the election they are concerned. what do you say to them? what are their options? >> that's why it's important to plan ahead and make good choices. >> can they use the emergency absentee ballot based on the medical issue in order to do this? >> no. >> just to be clear. i think we're pretty clear on how you're conducting this, so john merrill, we appreciate it. sorry, what did you say? >> and we're conducting it in a fair and transparent way. >> well, it is transparent. i will give you that, sir. thank you very much. >> thank you, brianna. just in, significant new developments, plus a widower is pushing back against president trump's effort to push a baseless -- the man says the president is perverting his wife's memory for political gain. you will hear that her in future

and why twitter says it will not take the tweets down. i just love hitting the open road and telling people

twitter has rejected a plea from a widower to remove president trump's tasteless tweets about his late wife and a baseless conspiracy theory that joe scarborough is responsible for his death. his wife died of a heart

condition while working in scarborough's florida district office when he was a congressman. we're going to read the. march endorsees, nevero nearly 19 years ago my wife had an undiagnosed heart condition. she was 28 years old when she died. her passing is the single-most painful thing i've ever had to deal with in my 52 years, and continues to haunt her parents and sister. i have mourned my wife every day since her passing. i have tried to honor her memory and our marriage. as her husband, i feel that one of mire marital obligations is to protect her memory as i would have protected her life. there has been a consist tan barrage of conspiracy theories since the day she died. that may sound like an exaggeration. unfortunately it is the verifiable truth. because of this i have struggled

to move forward. the frequent, intensity and ugliness of these horrifying lies ever increases on the internet. these conspiracy theorists, including most recently the president of the united states, continue to spread the vile and misinformation on your platform. president trump on tuesday tweeted to his nearly 80 million followers, alluding to a repeatedly debunked falsehood that my wife was murdered by her boss. the president followed ar more directly attacked my wife as the means of spreading this vicious lie. my question is simple -- please delete these twice. i'm a research engineer, not a lawyer, but i have reviewed all of twitter's rules of service. the suggestion that she was murdered without evidence and in contrary to the official autopsy is a violation of the terms of service. an ordinary user like me would

be bohnished, but i am only asking that they tweets be removed. i am angry as well as from you traded and aggrieved. i understand the policies are designed to main tan the appian that your hands are clean. you provide the platform. the rest is you have to users. in some cases twitter has removed content in accounts that are inconsistent with your terms of service. i'm asking you to interview, because the president of the united states has taken something that does not belong to him. the memory of my dead wife, and perverted it for perceived political gain. i would also ask that you consider lori's niece and two nephews who will eventually come across this filth in their future. it pains me to think they would ever have to learn about her this way, my wife deserves better. i'm joined by cnn's chief legal analyst and former federal prosecutor jeffrey toobin. twitter says it's deeply sorry

about the pain, that they're working on how to figure out how to handle situations like this. i wonder if there's any legal recourse that this man has. >> i think frankly it's unlikely that he has any able to sue twitter or even the president, but you know twitter is a private company. they have rules. like greyhound buses have rules. you can't stay on a greyhound bus if you break the rules. president trump haus broken the rules of twitter over and over again, and twitter has done nothing but put out statements of corporate jibberish like the one it did today. they either have rules that -- i went and reviewed them today. targeted harassment. this is precisely targeted harassment at joe scarborough, and certainly the memory the lori. twitter should follow its own rules and take these tweets down.

so there's no recourse for a civil suit or something like that, that -- >> no. >> -- that lori's husband would have? >> you know, i don't see it. the libel laws are very strict in terms of whether you can recover for libel. even though his wife is not a public figure, if you read the tweets, they don't specifically say anything about her that i think a court would find as libellous. but i do think that this is a -- it's a violation of twitter's own rules. twitter is just afraid of both the president and right-wing trolls who follow him. that's why they're not doing what they should be doing, which is taking this tweet down. >> so i want to ask you now, not the legal question, but the human being question. there's two elements to this.

you can see how infuriating it is, and just the insinuation, and then on the other hand, there's a window from this her into lori's husband's heart, which he kind of shows us. i wonder -- i think we can take him at face value for the pain his and his family are feeling. what do you think about the president's behavior? >> first of all, joe car borrow might have the lawsuit here. he's a public figure and there's a higher standard, but a knowing falsehood of murder would, i think, form the basis for a legitimate lawsuit. now, i'm sure joe scarborough doesn't want to get involve.

by he as the one that might have a valid claim. this is, as you point out a story about an additional human being. if twitter had any decency, any corporate conscience, they would take it down automatically. supposedly embodies, the license to be -- to try to figure out what the rules are. it certainly is clear that accusing people falsely the murder is not something twitter

exists to propagate. i just think twitter's position here is totally indefensible. >> they're clearly afraid of the president, but it's stunning to see. thank you. jeffrey toobin. next, when will broadway be back? one insider says she's hopeful for january. pluss the crisis in brazil s getting worse. >> you're watching cnn's lift special coverage. are you a christian author with

a book that you're ready to share with the world? get published now, call for your free publisher kit today! broadway was one of the venues to shut down, now the theater league's president is hoping for a january even with a few changes. >> a glimmer of hope.

she says the great white way would reopen. audiences should expect strict rules. broadway shut down on march 12th, and if broadway remains closed until january, the losses could be billion. >> chloe, thanks for the report. former vice president joe biden sits down with dana bash on "the situation room." he's going to weigh in on coronavirus, the politicization of masks, and what he is looking for in a running mate. a white woman is now insisting she is not a racist after she called police and claimed an african-american man was threatening her life in central park. the video of it all seems to suggest otherwise.

for all of us. a white woman disobeying a leash law there central park apologized after calling police on a black man asking her to put her dog on a leash. the man was bird watching in sen ral park when he began recording this confrontation and this is what happened next. >> could you please stop. sir, i'm asking you to stop. >> please don't come close to me. >> i'm asking you to stop recording.

please take the phone off. >> doan come close to me. please call the cops. >> i'm going to tell them there is an african-american threatening my life. he's recording me and threatening my dog. please send the cops immediately! >> so the woman said that she was scared when the man offered her dog a treat. she said what she did is not excusable or defensible but we've learned in the last few minutes she's been fired from her job because of this. joining me now is one of the exonerated five in the central park jogger case and falsely accused an assault in central park in 1989 and he wrote a novel about a boy being wrongfully incarcerated called "punching the air." i wonder what you think as you watch this video.

>> it's one of the most scariest feelings in the world. being in a place where you're supposed to be treated as an equal but you know that that is not the situation. spikes of justice ran over me 31 years ago and here we are where an individual is pleading to have the cops be called and all ever a sudden the cops are called and the story is changing. and a lot of times when the police officers show up, unfortunately, when a person is crying and they look like they -- they look like her, we end up dying. >> she makes -- and you hear her there. i think this is the thing that people heard when they watched this video is she's making a point repeatedly to highlight that he is an african-american man, that he is threatening her life when clearly he is not. she actually said she was scared

and yet she's moving closer to him, right, when she said she doesn't want to be recorded and then seems to heighten her emotions on the phone purposely as she's quite a distance from him. >> yes. >> what did you think about that? >> that's the part that was troubling. because you want -- when you look at the law, the law says you're innocent until proven guilty and here is a person making a public outcry but before they get on the phone and say i'm going to tell them your african-american and tell them this and that and he's like please call them. he knows he's not doing anything wrong. to his benefit there was a video that went viral and things went after that more in his favor as opposed to police showing up and threatening his life. all of that stuff didn't happen, you know. it's terrible. >> i want to ask you, in the course of the last couple of days we've covered this story,

we've covered the story of a man who died after police put him in a hold with a knee to the neck. yesterday i spoke with an african-american journalist who covered the kentucky governor being hung in effigy with people doing it who didn't seem to understand why that was problematic. and i just wonder what that says to you after all of these decades about where the country is. >> we are in a very dangerous place in this country. america, for many of us who look like me, has always represented a place where we have been unequally and unfairly treated. we've been the ones that have been, after they stopped slavery, they said, hey they started the new jim crow laws and you look at prison industrial complex now and the overwhelming majority of people there are people of color. and the worst part about it is you couple that with things that

we're seeing now, the false accusations and throughout the south you had a lot of young black men, people of color being hung by trees because of accusations. you had emmett till pulled his home and beaten to death and shot and tied around his neck and these things keep happening abtds i wonder when we'll be afforded the same rights and opportunities as everyone else in america. >> i think a lot of people are wondering that. yusef, thank you for speaking to us today. we appreciate it. >> thank you. my pleasure. just in, another pharmaceutical giant has two potential vaccines and the president mocking joe biden for wearing a mask which, of course, is the president's own guidance.

hi there, i'm brooke baldwin, thank you for being with me. you're watching cnn continuing coverage of the coronavirus outbreak. here we are five months after the first case of covid-19 was confirmed in the united states and more than 1.5 million names have been added to a list that continues to grow. and that list includes another staggering number. 100,000, the number of people who have died. it is a threshold that is unthinkable, one the nation is set to cross any day now. so we begin with tom foreman. and tom, we're talking about the pictures of people going out and going to the beach and ignoring the one thing from the white house social distancing so tell me what you're seeing in various states and whose affected the most. >> what i'm
