i want to welcome viewers in the united states and around the world. we're beginning with a dramatic new effort to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. governors of the tristate area are issuing news travel restrictions for all travellers coming from states with spikes in coronavirus cases. starting at midnight, they'll ban travellers from nine states, showing spikes in coronavirus. erica hill is joining us with more on this. tell us how this will work, erica. >> reporter: well, as you said, it goes into effect at midnight and perhaps most shocking to a lot of people is it has pretty hefty fines that come along with it. your first offense, 2,000 and they go up from there. the goal is to keep this virus from spreading in the area where they have worked so hard to contain it and flatten that curve. major changes for summer travel.

>> people come in from states that have a high infection rate must quarantine for 14 days. >> reporter: new york, new jersey and connecticut, where new cases are trending down, want to keep it that way. >> it's time for personal responsibility. if you've been in a state that has a high infection rate, do the right thing. >> reporter: as of today, nine states subject to the new tristate measure. nationwide, more than half of u.s. states reporting an increase in new cases over the past week. >> not just increased in the number of cases, it's the slope, the way it's accelerating. >> reporter: among the most concerning, arizona, florida, and texas. in south florida, jackson health system has seen number of covid-19 patients jump more than 100% in the last two weeks.

as of tuesday, just 2% of icu beds were available in arizona. >> the most urgent thing, i think, is to get the hospital systems ready, to get staffed up, to get the emergency plans in place. >> reporter: the stay-at-home order in texas expired april 30th. the governor now warning restrictions could come back. >> if it were up to me, we would do exactly what we did towards the end of march, which is full implement of full lockdown in social distancing. that's the only way i see we're going to start to bring the numbers down. >> reporter: as the average age of infection drops, there's also a focus on young people. >> we're seeing the highest increase in ages 18 to 34. they sometimes think they're invincible. this virus is showing that they're not. >> reporter: the new york city marathon, which atraktsz more than 50,000 runners and more than a million spectators

cancelled over coronavirus fears. major league baseball will take the league this summer. 60 games, starting in late july. and coincide with that, more positive cases among the phillies. and with this new 14-day quarantine announced by governors of new york, fwj new jersey and connecticut. and the baseball teams have been in touch can governor cuomo. they're supposed to report to their cities july 1st. they're talking about how to get their players back from florida to deal with it. >> a very good pointed. live for us from new york. the jump in florida we're seeing in cases is coming as disney workers sign a petition asking disney to delay reopening its florida theme parks until after this surge passes. and i wonder if the petition drive is gaining any traction.

is this going to make a difference, christine? >> reporter: it may make a difference. this is just one example of how the rise in cases in florida is really coming to light. and complimenting the reopening there. this is 7,000 people. you asked is it going to make a difference? to put this in context, that disney world has about 70,000 employees in that park. so, it's not an overwhelming amount of people just yet. but we are seeing the numbers rise on that pedition and they're urging the company to put safety ahead of profit. they're telling me today it's going to put precautions in place to protect visitors and employees, like temperature checks, like requiring a mask. but here's the problem, brianna. businesses had clear guidance or some guidance on reopening. they don't have any guidance on

what to do in a situation like florida has right now, where you're seeing a real rise in cases that presents a public health risk. the question is who's in charge? so, i did reach out and just before i got to studio, i reached out to the mayor's office, who signed off on the reopening to begin with and i said are you reconsidering, given what's happening in the state? it says "orange county continues to monitor the health data in the county. at this time there are no plans to revisited the reopening plan. that decision rests with disney officials and the governor." so, this is going to be a story that continues to play out. but president trump likes to say the economy is going to recover in a v-shape or rocket ship, he said most recently. this is clear evidence there are going to be complications along the way. so far they have believed the v-shape recovery story. i don't know how long that's

going to holds up, brianna. >> maybe not too much longer. thank you so much for that report, that update. at a commissioner's meeting, anger erupted after a unanimous vote to make masks mandatory. this turned down right ugly. here was the scene. >> you literally cannot mandate somebody to wear a mask, knowing the mask is killing people. it literally is killing people. we, the people, are waking up. and we know what citizens arrest is, because they're already happening. and every single one of you that are obeying the devil's laws are going to be arrested and you, doctor, are going to be arrested for crimes against humanity. >> the problem with humanity today is ignorance, arrogance and apathy. keep listening to the tv brain washing you from birth. >> and they want to throw god's wonderful breathing system out the door.

you're all turning your backs on it. i really have many question marks about your degrees and what you really know. i'm sorry, ma'am, i don't think you're worthy of your credentials and i would ask that you go back to school and get educated. >> masks are one of the best ways to stop the spread of the coronavirus. this is proven. but this explosive meeting shows how politicized they have become. the chief medical officer at boca roaton regional hospital and boca roaton is part of palm beach county. tell us what you make of the clip we just played, the vit reall and, i guess, the content of what you heard about masks, that people were saying at this meeting. >> thank you for having me on to talk about this important topic. it's really unfortunate the response we got for such a commonsense mandate that happened in palm beach county.

we know, scientifically, masks are proven to prevent infections keeping one person who is sick to another. and the fact people are fighting this hard against wearing masks is disheartening. it doesn't only protect you, it protects those around you. even if you're not concerned about your own health, you're concerned about elderly grandparents. it's an act of kindness to those around you and it's unfortunate to see this much anger against a policy that is commonsense. >> i want to listen to something that florida governor ron dos santos said last month about coronavirus cases. >> any insinuation otherwise is typical, partisan, narrative trying to be spun. and part of the reason is because you have a lot of people in your profession who wax

poetically for weeks and weeks about how florida was going foobe just like new york. just like italy, wait two weeks. we're eight weeks away from that and it hasn't happened. not only do we have salower death rate -- we have lower deaths generally, we have a lower death rate than d.c., midwest, illinois, michigan, indiana, ohio. but even in our region, louisiana, mississippi, alabama, georgia, florida has the lower death rate. and i was the number one landing spot from tens of thousands of people leaving the number one hot zone in the world to come to my state. so, we've succeeded. and i think that people just don't want to recognize it because it challenges their narrative, it challenges their assumption. so, they have to try to find a boogie man. >> and doctor, we know, reality is challenging that narrative, right? you're in florida. we're getting word that california set a new record with

7,000 new cases in one day. the previous record was the day before with 5,000. florida has had an incredible single day total. do you think states need to issue travel restrictions? >> you know, that's a very difficult question. and the issue of testing and how many increase are a result of increased testing and increased prevalence in the community is also not completely figured out. we're seeing increased number being diagnosed. there's no doubt about that. we're seeing them in our units and icus. that's a trend we've noticed over the last couple of weeks. its hitting the miami-dade area harder than palm beach. but even in palm beach, most of the newer patients are younger. we know younger patients are less likely to be careful and

compliant with mask policies and social distancing. so, when talking about travel and the risks associated with traveling to other areas, it is a difficult question to answer because i don't think, as a nation, we figured out the true prevalence of the disease in various areas because there are various testing rates and it's not quite clear yet. hopefully that becomes apparent as testing is even more available. anybody implying we should reduce the amount of testing is clearly way off the mark. you need continue testing, continue contact tracing. that's the only way we're going to get ahold of the pandemic and then we can have real policies with safety of travel. we know there are grave risks with the numbers going up. but what it truly means and how it translates to travel policy, i think we'll need more information before making that decision. >> all right. thank you so much.

we have more on our breaking news. california just reported that they have more than 7,000 more coronavirus cases in one day. this breaks the previous day's record of 5 thourn. i want to bring in stephanie eelm for details on this. this is a huge number, especially for a state that took, i guess, precautionary measures from the jump. >> we were the first state to go into lockdown mode, go under a stay-at-home order that was state wide. a lot of people felt like california was ahead of the curve in how they were responding. we can see 7,149 new cases in one day. and the previous record was the day before, which was 5,000. so, you can see it's a massive jump. and an 18% increase in icu admissions in the last 14 days as well.

12,068 admissions in that period. and hospitalizations over the last two weeks a 29% increase. the governor, who is still currently holding his press conference about this right now, governor gavin newsom, say they did expect to see these numbers to increase as the state has been reopening county by county, and because you've seen people out there protesting as well and pointed to memorial day. and saying this is why he says everyone in the state needs to wear a mask all the time to stop this transmission, that we are not out of the thick of this and this is very much an issue. there are a lot of questions about what needs to be done as the numbers continue to ramp up. this is not the direction anybody wants to see the numbers going. >> it seems like as soon as you let your foot off the gas, the precautions states are taking, we're seeing the numbers pop right back up. i know it's very frustrating for

all the states, california included. now, we still don't know how exactly the aunt jemima brand is going to be revamped. but last night a student at president trump's rally in phoenix took issue with the rebrand as a whole, calling this the latest example of cancel culture. >> aunt jemima was cancelled. and if you didn't know, nancy green, the original first aunt jemima, she was the picture of the american greem. she was a freed slaver who went on to be the face of the pancake syrup we love and have in our pantries today. she fought for equality, and now the leftist mob is trying to erase her legacy. might i mention how privileged we are, as a nation, if our biggest concern is a bottle of pancake syrup. >> i don't think that is the biggest concern. i'll put that aside as i bring

in dan gasby to talk about this. you started the drive to get rid of the aunt jemima branding and cofounder of the smith enterprises, which operate as chain of restaurants. what is your thought when you think aunt juniemima is the american dream? >> maybe someone who doesn't know what it's like to be african-american and the derogatory way in which it's used. it has been a slur to women of colorer, black women in particular. i've had that situation happen in my restaurant, and i've had people, both black and white, understood what it meant, and escourted people who were making that derogatory comment about one of the people who happened to work for me. so, understanding that.

understanding that we felt very strongly when we were in the business of looking at the opportunities that might happen with opening a supermarket and doing research and a young lady was buying the product and didn't know who she was. and it bothered me because we understood what aunt jemima represented and as most african-american women do. there are very few, if any african-american women who want their children to be called aunt jemima or want to be called aunt jemima themselves. so, for that young lady in the rally to sit there and talk about that, she's never had anyone call her the n-word. she's never had the weight of 400 plus years of oppression. she's never had to deal with, as i say, we pay for the paint job. being a person of colorer. so, it's easy for her, from

30,000 feet, from a nice, warm perspective to see that as something that warms the dop copals of her heart and history. but that history, like robert e. lee or jefferson davis has not been one that has been for all people, and certainly not for people of african descent in america. >> dan, thank you so much for coming on and discussing this. i really appreciate your perspective on this. >> thank you so much for having me, brianna. seattle's police-free zone, set up by protesters, following the death of george floyd, is seat to be dismantled. they're calling on protesters to leave the so-called autonomous zone. it's a six-block area in the heart of the city. i'm joined by hip-hop artist, raz simone. thank you for being with us.

>> thank you for having me. >> so, you've become a defacto leader of this autonomous zone. i know some people, some media outlets have described you as a war lord, which i know you take issue with that description. i wonder if you can talk to us about, after what we saw last weekends, there were shootings. and now the mayor is saying it's time for people to go home. i wonder, raz, someone who's very involved as a leader of this zone, how is that going to play out? are people going to leave? >> i mean, a lot of people are going to leave. a lot of people already left. you know, i haven't been in there. i just have eyes on the ground and people trying to make sure people are safe. it's one of those things that's frustrating because that area is already a hot spot for issues. there have been multiple shootings in that area on that

block already, just in the history of -- in the last decade or whatever. that's already a place of activity, where all the bars and everyone leaves the bars and congregates in this area already. so, to attribute it to raz is not fair. but at the same time, the protesters of chaz have targets on their backs and that is an issue. because we have had numerous white supremacist groups who have come in and ran over people, attempted vehicular homicide. that's happened over a dozen times. we had a guy who drove up and tried to plow through the whole crowd and hopped out and shot one of the protesters. and it ended up being he was the brother of an officer that worked in a precinct. so, that was sad. the shootings that happened, the white dude in the white van that pulled up and shot someone.

now, it is satarget fa targed fd a lot of peaceful protesters are being harmed. so, it's sad that's where we're at in america. but that is what it is. >> you describe it being a target. it's also become -- it's become controversial, as you know. it's become a target rhetorically as well. you're aware conservatives want to have their constituents think that this is something beyond seattle. that if donald trump were to lose the white house, this is what the whole country will be, a lawless autonomous zone. the images you're going to see all over the country. i wonder what you think about that? and i wonder -- i wonder what you think about it having become such a target. if this is something that might be hurting the black lives matter movement. >> no, definitely. i think it's so sad to see how

unethical people are. and you hear this in politicians. but politicians, back and forth, both sides or whatever, the ethics, they black it completely. it's sad to see the media gets behind this just to get a good story/to push an agenda someone is lobbying for. to turn me into an african war lord and a war lord terrorist. they've spread all these different lies. they said i was getting palestinian air force to come through, all kinds of things. and people are eating it up. they're eating up this media. it's sad. even the autonomous zone, none of the protesters call this ana tonmous zone. none of us took over the police precinct. the police never left. there's still a police presence in there. they've been acting like they're all the way gone. acting like we strong armed the police. how did we do that when we were

saying hands up don't shoot? that's not the case at all. and they love to jump on that scene with me carrying an ar-15, as black man and tried to act like i'm taking over the city with this one gun. no, that was as protectionary measure because we just had a protester get shot and a bunch of people ran over. and then we had, on police scanners, they said there were 30 white supremacists walking up with confederate flags armed with ar-15s and coming towards us. that was a protectionary thing saying we're not going to be scared if something happens. we're here and i will have a conversation with these men with guns and in my mind, i'm thinking probably find more things we have in common and i'll probably walk away and assess the situation and realize the country is probably not

under attack and i'm exercising my second amendment right just like they are. >> i know that conservatives have seized the imagery out of seattle for their purpose and they've run with it. but i also wonder have you considered that perhaps you are enabling some of what they're doing or that you are doing damage to the larger black lives matter movement? is that something you thought about? >> no. the things that my mom has told me you're not doing something right if people, a bunch of people don't hate you. when you're standing up for what's right, people are going to hate you on all sides. it is frustrating. the media is definitely putting a blemish on the whole movement. me, no. i pulled out this gun to protect people for less than an hour, put it back. that's only time it's been out.

and it's crazy to me. it's polarizing of how deeply rooted racism is in this country. because even as a black person there's so much racism for black people inside everyone's body, as a white person or whatever. you are not racist, like you don't hate people but there is racism deep rooted in your body. when you see an image of a black man with aar-15, i just need to know -- and then you see thousands of white men marching into court rooms and that's illegal. you're not supposed to go into courtrooms with a gun and different things like that, and i'm completely legal with everything. when i handed my friend -- >> i -- can i ask about that though? we've seen on the other side of the political spectrum, we've seen images of white militias, for instance in new mexico and they were carrying weapons as well.

and you know, look, a lot of people looked at those images and were uncomfortable with that and then they look at the images for instance of you carrying a weapon in seattle and of you handing a weapon to someone else and it also is something that certainly is -- it's uncome frtdable, at the very least and cause for alarm for ought lau laugh -- a lot of americans watching. >> again, none of them got called arian war lords. it was me and one person. you have a thousand people militias and they're white and people are a little uncomfortable but no headlines. it's not this crazy militia they have to make a new name for the militia. they didn't say they're trying to take over the country. i didn't say all of those things and they say that about me.

it's like the black panthers. there were about a dozen of them with rifles on their back. the whole country, world went crazy because these black men with guns. they didn't go crazy in other times. that was the one time the nra tried to ban guns, take away some of our rights for guns. that's the one time and that's frustrating. i try -- i'm all about the second amendment right. it is frustrating when you see these articles, things pop up. and the weight people put on seeing this image of me, vurgss all the images of white men doing the same thing. again, i'm not mad add the white people, it's just frustrating they see this and run with it. >> is the autonomous zone over? have police entered the area? is this coming to an end? >> it's not an autonomous zone, never was.

and that was another media thing. out of nowhere we see a sign pop up, autonomous zone, chaz and things that say chaz. and news casters right there videotaping it. i want to ask everyone that was there, did you call it chaz? did you put that up? no one did. >> let's not get hung up on this. are people leaving? is this coming to an end? >> i think a lot of people are leaving. again, i just listen to what people say and i try to convey a message and put that out there. i think there are a few people are going to try to stand there and peacefully keep on protesting because that's what a protest is. >> are police coming in? >> i don't know. we'll see. probably in the next couple of days maybe they will. >> raz simone, thanks for joining us.

>> thank you much. we have more breaking news. new york, new jersey and connecticut announcing a travel ban. also, after the president's threat and a night of unrest in wisconsin, the national guard in d.c. and wisconsin on stand by to erect statues from protesters. and i'll speak live to a high school runner who refuses to wear. how do you get skin happy 24/7?

as protesters topple statues, the d.c. national guard is being called tine protect monuments. wisconsin governor is considering calling in the national guard after protesters tore down multiple statues and damaged the state capitol building overnight. let's get to cnn correspondent,

om omar jimenez. >> reporter: the governor says both statues have been recovered. and they're currently assessing the damage to state property that happened over the course of the night. and the central reason we saw take place in the state's capitol was over the arrest of the black man seen carrying a baseball bat and seen yelling through a bull horn inside and outside the restaurant. and during the protest is when we say some of the statues toppled, including one that fought for the union and another that designated freedom or progress as well. and also we saw democratic state senator tim carpenter, who was on the scene trying to take a picture and says he was assaulted by some of the protesters. in fact, one of the local stations say they had to call 911 for an ambulance after he

was punched and kicked in the head repeatedly. a day later, they're assessing some of the danielage, released a statement on how they're going to proceed in their mindset, saying, quote, what happened in madison last night was a contrast in what we've seen from peaceful protests we have seen across our state in recent weeks and i want to be clear, violence against any person, whether in broad daylight, in the middle of the street, in broad daylight, at home in their sleep, like last night, is wrong. it should never be tolerated. and he's prepared to call in the national guard to protect some of the state property and infrastructure as well. and said capitol police reported multiple people trying to breach the capitol last night and it's all part of conversations on how to handle this particular

situation if it continues into another night or further nights, brianna. >> thank you so much. reporting from chicago. a student in tyler, texas is calling on her high school to find a new name. a top runner,trudy lam, has won several medals for her cross country team and she's now refusing to wear her jersey until the name on the front of it changes. you can see a shortened version in an old photo. the short version. andtrudy and her seconds mom will join us right now. trudy, you wrote a letter to the schoolboard asking for the name to be changed. tell us what your letter said and how you were inspired to take this stand. >> okay. do you want her to read part of her letter or -- >> sure. >> i am one of your fru african

first generation. i am one of your true african and first-generation african-american students at b robert e lee. i i'm from guiana, africa, where slavery began. i have seen the three-foot yurin and feces stains on the wall where my brothers and sisters were kept. i have seen where they were brought through. i have walked through the gate of no return where over 12 million of my brothers and sisters were kidnapped, never to return to their home. i have worked the very fields for my family in the very places my people were kidnapped. >> and the letter is so moving and you read this at the schoolboard meeting. how was it received?

>> they haven't done anything yet. >> did you feel,trudy and laura, like they were sympathetic, like they were understanding where the letter is coming from? >> the school board has not responded at all to her email, the letter she sent, they have not responded to any of our emails at all. no statements whatsoever about her or the students that are pledging to not wear the name. >> students plural? >> absolutely. it's a movement. >> tell us about that,trudy. tell us how your cross country team friends and runners are also responding to this. >> so, what we did was co wrote the name, robert e. lee and they

won't let us do that, we unattach racist and our coach support us and stuff. >> so, he supported you. i wonder, laura, as a mom, what's your reaction watching your daughter take this stand? >> honestly, those who knowtrudy, know she is very quiet, soft spoken. she doesn't speak in front of people easily. it's hard for her to -- even in class to get up and speak in front of people. so, when she wrote the letter from her heart, i shared it, with her permission. and just the response that we've gotten from the community has been amazing. that means a lot. the school board has the opportunity to be on the right side of history. they would never name a school benedict arnold. so, why name a school -- or keep

the name? we have a multimillion dollar new building and two years ago they were given the opportunity to change the name before anything was printed or engraved, and they didn't even call a vote.and it sends a very message to our students of color at this school. >> trudy, do you think it will change? >> yeah, i want it to change. i'm hoping they will change it. >> okay. >> from an economic standpoint, we have businesses who, tyler is a wonderful place to live and businesses come in and see five confederate themed middle and high schools here in our district. and i just can't even imagine the economic impact. so the fact that the school board, the response is that some

people are typically friends of ours with m.d. and ph.d after their name and they got responses and they said it is a money issue. well let's think about how much money tyler might lose. businesses not wanting to come here. >> laura owens, trudy lamb, thank you so much. it is great to hear your letter, we appreciate it. thank you, guys. >> thank you. president trump says he was left with no ventilators by the obama administration. that claim is now being debunked by the president's own administration.

as the coronavirus pandemic sent the country into lockdown, governors were left to fight among each other over life-saving supplies and the president trump laying blame on previous administration. >> we didn't have ventilators when we started. cupboards were empty. the previous administration left us empty cupboards. >> actually they did not. and now his own administration

has released figures to prove it. a spokesperson for the department of health and human services said there were more than 16,000 in the stockpile ready for use in march. i want to bring in daniel dale joining us now to break this down. we knew that that claim was false but now we're getting the numbers from this administration itself, daniel. >> that is right. these are the first official numbers we've gotten. so that spokesperson for the department of health and human services told me that there have been for quote, many years, about 19,000 ventilators in the national stockpile. and they said 16,660 were ready for immediate use in march before the trump administration started buying more. and when i asked them how many of those 16,660 were purchased by the trump administration and they said none of them. all of those, every single one was inherented. this does two things. it blows up the president's narrative in a he was left nothing at all.
