protests. obviously, if you look at the top 100 brands that advertise on facebook, only -- they all represent about 6% of facebook's revenue, according to pathmatics, a market intelligence firm. that highlights how difficult it will be for this campaign to exert a lot of financial pressure on mark zuckerberg and could be harder especially when you think about the way facebook is structured. zucker bherg zuckerberg is ceo and can't be fired because of the way he holds shares of the company. hopefully with this civil rights group, groups meeting with zuckerberg, in the coming weeks, perhaps they may be able to address some of the concerns and push for changes at facebook rit large. >> brian, thank very much. hello once again. top of the hour. i'm kate bolduan. thanks for sticking with us at
9:01 am
least 19 states hitting the pause button. in california today we expect governor gavin newsom to tighten restrictions further in the state as they see a major rise in cases that could have them soon passing new york for the most cases in the country. as we speak, 37 states are now reporting a rising number of cases. it is getting worse and worse. only 2 trending in the correct direction. when you see this, you can completely understand, then, why dr. anthony fauci said yesterday, "clearly, we are not in total control." take florida, seeing big spikes and because of that, bars are being shut down. some beaches as well, but the governor is also declaring he doesn't plan to go any further. cnn's reporter is in rivera beach, florida, with more. what more are you hearing from the governor? >> reporter: kate, getting new numbers for today seeing more
9:02 am
than 6,500 new coronavirus cases today. the number is 6,563. that's up about 500 or so from yesterday. certainly not the direction we want to be moving in. the governor still saying that he doesn't plan any state-wide beach closures for the holiday weekend. no mask mandates state-wide either. he says he doesn't plan to shut down the state again either. he is blaming young people for the rising number of cases and their socialization. we wanted to ask him about the fact he's been blames the media. critical of the media about the fact that the media said florida could be just like new york. so the governor demanded an apology about that saying it's a partisan narrative. we caught up with him yesterday at a press conference to finally ask about that. i asked if given the spike in numbers here he wants to take that comment back? and did the state of florida do anything wrong? here's what he said. >> may and early june were our best testing numbers, very low. test results in terms of percent
9:03 am
positive. obviously you've seen a higher percentage test positive now. just understand, some of those states were testing at 60% 70%. we've been 10% to 15% and want to get down in single digits to compare us what we're doing with that. >> reporter: if i could follow-up quickly -- >> reporter: you have it there. i tried to follow-up. his handler shut me down quickly and called on another reporter. not the governor. actually the handler himself. what i wanted to ask the governor about, the positivity rate. he says in the state, 10% to 15%. that's not true. numbers today at 15%. miami-dade county the positivetive rate just yesterday, kate, more than 22%. and in the last seven days, miami-dade has seen 10,000 new cases state-wide. about 50,000 new cases. so clearly not as rosy a picture as the governor is trying to paint there. >> and over and over you hear
9:04 am
from local officials, hear from folks in florida, they would like to hear more direction, and more mandates coming from the governor. in florida, governors elsewhere. just heard it from another mayor in a different part of florida, would like to have a unified message especially on certain things. thanks. vice president mike pence is heading to arizona today to meet with the governor there as that state is dealing with a devastating surge of coronavirus cases as well. take a look how cases have continued to soar. over the last few weeks, and just today, the state is reporting another record high number of both cases and the death rate. the governor has said the state's reopening plans are now on pause. cnn correspondent evan mcmorris-santoro joining me from arizona tracking this. evan, the governor says they'll be briefing reporters later today. any word what you're expecting to hear? >> reporter: well, kate, as you mention, the situation here is frankly increasingly dire. just in the past hour the health
9:05 am
department in arizona said the virus is now widespread in this state. what that's led the governor to do is to reclose some things that had been opened. things like movie theaters, large gatherings, bars, and gyms. behind me is one of about a dozen or so locations of the mountainside gym chain here in the area, and they have decided not to heed that gubernatorial order to close. you can see, get way so you can see behind me, people are inside there working out. the owner will sue the state of arizona, he says, over those rules and while this gym remained open, people have come and worked out. >> evan, thank you so much. appreciate it. so right now there are more than 44,000 new infections reported in the united states tuesday. that is getting very close to the country's record high so far
9:06 am
of just over 45,000 reported cases, and that was last week. one former top health official says, though, the new cases that we're seeing, they may be seriously underreported. and that the united states could already be at well over 1,000 cases a day. >> i think we're already over 100,000 per day. remember, a lot of cases are going undetected, because not everybody can get testing, and according to cdc, the total number of cases in the u.s. may be as much as ten times as what we've actually been measuring. >> that's terrifying to think about. bring in dr. sanjay gupta for more. good to so you. if it is underreported like was said there, i mean what could that actually mean? >> yeah. this has been a problem from the start, kate. i remember talking to you about this in march, we weren't doing good testing at that point. surprising, i think, to people,
9:07 am
and we've never gotten ahead of this. this was based on a cdc report that said we may be undercounting by about tenfold. look at number on the screen. 2.6 million people roughly infected. they think it could be well over 20 million. just lack of testing. what could it mean? it's more widespread than we've confirmed. one. that's bad news. any good news in it, kate, look at the fatality ratio. hard to talk about. number of deaths over number of infections. dramatically increase number of infections from 2.6 million to over 20 million, it does bring down the fatality ratio. how likely this is to cause someone to die. we still don't have a good idea how lethal this virus is. it's been all over the place in different parts of the world, but clearly this is a much more widespread virus than i think we've realized up until recently. >> and if we can just throw up a graphic. i want to show everyone graphics which drive home kind of what
9:08 am
has been happening in the last month. you see june 1st, compared to july 1st. >> hmm. >> where we are today. i mean, the shift in how many states are seeing a rise in cases is really startling, and putting it together, how many states across the country have seen a major rise in cases in just the past month? it's really scary. i mean, when you see these maps, when you see all of the cases that we're looking at and you see all of that red, i don't know. sanjay, what do you think? feels like we're back to april talking about what was happening and what the warnings were and could be happening in new york city. and it's still -- now it's just happening out west. >> yeah. no. i mean, so many things go through the mind, kate. seeing those images. first of all, i would be hoping i was going to have a different conversation with you going into july 4th weekend about this and we're not. the curves are going up. not down. i look at those maps and i guess
9:09 am
as doctor i think of the country as a human body. i saw localized sort of problems back a month ago and now i see widespread problems, if it was a cancer, like the cancer has metastasized. we immediate aggressive treatment. again, as you would treat a patient, the country needs to be treated right now. i think one of the most important points, kate, is that we sort of -- thought of this as a binary thing. either we're open or shut. closed down, thing, started to open they opened in earnest. what i think dr. fauci and others have been saying for a long time, there is a really reasonable middle ground here. it does involve masks. it involves physical distancing and certain high-risk situations indoor large clusters of unmasked people as a worst case situation for super spreading. life's going to have to be different for a while but it can be a lot more like normal than people realize if we abide by some of those things. abide by nothing, abnormal for
9:10 am
longer. >> an jaysanjay, you mentioned . we just interviewed the mayor, a small-ish town, milton, florida. she tried to mandate face coverings for the city. seeing the data and seeing kind of the writing op tn the waull. city council yoesh aoverruled h. she said people don't believe the science of face covering. is that is where the country still is -- i'm concerned at what that means. >> you know, kate, just having done this for so long now, i find it hard to believe people don't recognize the potential benefit. i think it's become a political issue. a state like florida, where number, growing the way they're growing, what other tools do you have on the tool belt to take the fuel out of that fire? masks are a big one. we can show you. some images, look what happens as the virus is actually coming
9:11 am
out of the nose and mouth, how far it can potentially spread. it's significant. i think, i always thought to myself, kate, if this virus were actually visible, right? you can't see it, but if it were actually visible and you saw it coming out of people's noses and mouths, we would all keep our distance and wear masks. places like florida think they still have the decision within their -- they can make the decision about masks. after a while i don't know if they can make that decision anymore. the virus will make the decision for them because it's going to be so obvious as the numbers go um. there's the virus coming out. what if you could visualize it like that, kate? put on a mask on this model. see what happens? still -- not perfect, but, look. idea of you being able to spread it to people around you becomes greatly reduced. all you're trying to do. we're scared of this virus.
9:12 am
untsed edlunderstandably so. a strand of genetic material not even alive. needs a host to live. you can't kill it because it's not alive. all you have to do, not be such a, such a willing host to this virus, which is what the masks are all about. >> when i see -- as i've seen, you presenting that video, i think is so helpful and important, what i see when i think which i see that is, that's not limiting. that's empowering. when you can -- when you are empowered to control the spread of germs, you are empowering your community to live. empowering your community to reopen. empowering yours to be able to go about more normal life. it gets back to kind of the megging from the top. i got to get your take, and it's -- i'm going to try to make it not political. because i don't want -- i never want to draw you into something political, but the president is going to mount rushmore friday for a fireworks show, fireworks
9:13 am
celebration for fourth of july. there's going to be no social distancing enforced. masks provided but not required. here's how the governor, how she talked about this. listen. >> we told those folks that have concerns that they can stay home. but those who want to come and join us, we'll be giving out free face masks if they choose to wear one, but we won't be social distancing. we're asking them to come, be ready to celebrate, to enjoy the freedoms and liberties we have in this country. >> sounds like she's suggesting that, not following public health safety guidelines is somehow patriotic. what do you say to that? >> kate i think you have known me a long time and i try stay very steady on these things. that's completely wrong-headed. i can't find anything in those recommendations that make sense from a health standpoint. if the conversation were, look, i'm not that worried about getting the virus. i'm willing to take the risk.
9:14 am
sort of what she suggested what if the conversation were, are you worried about giving the virus? because that's really what this is about, to your earlier point. if i say, look, are you worried you might give the virus to other people? then it's an empathy check. really. you know? i live in georgia, as you know, kate. i encourage my family and my friends to wearing a masks. i can tell you still walking around town with masks on you still get funny looks. people still look at you like you're a crazy person for wearing a mask and i'm thinking to myself, i'm wearing this mask for you, primarily. and yet they still look at you like you're crazy. i think when the south dakota governor makes statements like that, unfortunately, it gives that wrong-headed argument, a wrong-headed way of thinking more fuel. after a while it's not going to be a choice. we'll have to do this. what else are we going to do. >> exactly right. shut down and stay in your house again, which nobody wants to do. great to see you sanjay, thanks very much. and coming up, after california hits a record high in
9:15 am
covid-19 cases, the state is now seeing hospitalizations jump as well. what went wrong in that state that was really the first and most aggressive to shut down? plus -- the president spends the morning on twitter. tweeting about joe biden, defending confederate monuments and what he's calling the latest hoax against him. what the president isn't talking about. the pandemic ravaging the country.

9:20 am
appreciate your time. california seemed to be ahead of the rest of country. one of the first states to have confirmed cases, first to have a state-wide stay-at-home order. what went wrong? >> well, we came together to flatten the curve. we were one of the first states to have a stay-at-home order, and people stayed at home, but then i think people got complacent. we didn't see in california what happened in new york or detroit or new orleans. memorial day weekend came up. we started releasing guidelines to reopen things and i think people then thought, well, the virus, maybe it's going away. unfortunately the virus did not. so we're now seeing an increase in cases. >> why do you think folks in california didn't, i don't know, didn't take the threat of infection seriously enough? >> well, i think that they were looking around and they saw everything looked pretty good. our hospitals weren't overflowing. people saw that the weather was
9:21 am
getting better. there were a variety of different things that happened as well. so -- i would also point out, though, unfortunately, what happened not only in california but across the country, is that we unfortunately politicized the messages about controlling this virus. and, in fact, instead of having public health leaders up in front delivering the messages to the people about what we need to do, we had politicians doing that. and with that, i think unfortunately a lot of the messaging took a political lens. we here in california had protesters who protesting not only the stay-at-home orders but opposed to mask wearing, out there harassing and intimidating public health officers and also then we had local officials who because, perhaps, ideological or political reasons also did not support or did not actually want to enforce guidelines that were necessary to prevent the spread of this disease.
9:22 am
>> so this, brings me back to a conversation i've had with a lot of local leaders. mayors and the like. they say that a unified message coming from the top, the very top, from the white house, is something that has been lacking and been a problem for them. if president trump would put on a mask today, do you think that would change behavior in california tomorrow? >> well, certainly it would help, but more importantly, he needs to put his public health people out in front talking about what we need to do and he needs to support them. for example, the cdc has been completely silenced. experts at the cdc who spoke out early are now not permitted to talk to the press. right? we have dr. birx and dr. fauci but they tend to play second fiddle to the president. unfortunately even in states we don't see the public health leaders being the leaders of conversations about this virus. we generally see politicians. politicians being the main spokespeople. we need to change that
9:23 am
direction. we need to have public health leaders talking about what the science is, what the recommendations are. we need to stop politicizing this pandemic. >> you know, l.a. county alone reported more than 100,000 cases. more cases than 43 states. when you have a surge like that, what do you think of governor newsom's response to this latest surge? right, closing down bars, night spots in certain counties. is that enough to turn this around? >> certainly those are very important steps. those steps are important not only because of what they do specifically but also because it sends a message to the people that we need to take this seriously. this disease is spreading. ultimately, it comes down to the decision of every individual californian, every individual american. right? we know what we need to do. so people need to wearing a masks. they need to keep the physical distance whn outside especially with people who are not in their
9:24 am
household. we know what we need to do. if you care about your fellow american, then wear a mask, be sure you keep your physical distance. if you are a patriotic american, a really care about your country, you need to do the same. we're coming up on independence day, right? when the we celebrate the freedoms of our country and our independence. that independence came about because americans came together to protect each other. and so i would say on independence day, give americans their freedom by doing the things you need to do. wear your mask. keep that physical distance. don't join gatherings where you can spread this disease. let's be sure we have freedom from this disease. let's be sure we protect each other, and we need our public health officials to be up front, educating us in what we need to do to stop this pandemic. >> mr. pan, thank you so much. still ahead for us, reports of russia's alleged bounty plot against american service members hitting military families

russia offered bounties to the taliban to kill u.s. soldiers a hoax, created to hurt him and the republican party. a hoax created by journalists, he says. he also spent a lot of time tweeting his own post this morning, including thiswhere he uses a racial slur once again against elizabeth warren saying that he's going to veto a defense spending bill if it contains an amendment to strip the names of confederate generals from u.s. military bases which i believe had bipartisan support. nothing on the exponential surge of coronavirus cases across the country. cnn kaitlan collins joins me with more on this. when you take this in total, is the president trying to ignore the pandemic? has he given up? >> reporter: i think in the president's view, he's trying to move on from it, and put the pandemic behind him. we've seen that in recent weeks as he's tried to get back to this normal president's schedule. what's notable about this, kate,
9:31 am
the stark contrast from his own health officials as they testified on capitol hill yesterday issuing blunt warnings where they think the country is going, which dr. fauci said is the wrong direction and then the silence from the president on this. where he's not even pretending to put this at the top of his priority list. the last several moss, of course, vice president pence has been in charge of the coronavirus task force, something the white house often points to, but for the president to be totally silent in the last few days as we've seen such a sea change around the country with these cases surging, infections surging and rising across the country, states having to reverse or pause their reopening, certainly something not the administration wanted to see and the vice president going to visit the areas that are hardest hit, like arizona where he's in today, and the president just has not matched that messaging coming from health officials, or even come close to doing so. one of the things he did tweet about this morning was that press conference from joe biden
9:32 am
yesterday. accusing him of using a teleprompter when taking questions from reporters but, kate, what he notably did not respond to, the crux of joe biden's criticism against him. which is, he was basically mocking the president for saying he was this, viewed himself as a wartime president because of the pandemic and joe biden saying he believes he surrendered that and in retreat, and basically saying that he has let americans down with his leadership on the pandemic by washing his hands of it and putting it behind him. that is scathing criticism coming from someone the president is going to be up against for election in a few months. and the president did not respond to that in any substantial way today as he was tweeting multiple tweets in early hours before 8:00 a.m. >> katelyn, appreciate it. thanks for putting it all together. appreciate it. so while washington is debating and there's a lot to be learned still about the intelligence behind the alleged russian bounty plot, the president has made his opinion
9:33 am
very clear, as i mentioned off the top. he's calling it a hoax. he is saying that, first he said he wasn't briefed. then the white house says he did get briefed. now he says he doesn't believe the intelligence, and that it was a hoax created by journalist, reporters, the media. one gold star mother has a very different view. becky whetstone tweeted this. my son was a marine killed in afghanistan. if i learned russia put a bounty on his life and the u.s. didn't take serious decisive action, then hell hath no fury like a mother scorned. bless the families who face this reality. lance corporal benjamin whetstone schmidt just 24 years old killed in afghanistan by friendly fire in 2011. his mother, becky whetstone, she's joining me right now. thank you, so much, for being here, first and foremost. thank you for your service and for the service of your entire family. i read your tweet today, and i
9:34 am
have to say, it -- one, broke my heart and i think that was the conclusion of everyone who read it, but also it reminded me of something that must not be lost in this. the men and women and their families that are serving our country overseas right now in harm's way. what was your reaction when you started seeing the reporting that was coming out, the reaction from the president that the intelligence was in his brief. he says he didn't know about -- didn't know anything about it. >> well, i think when a gold star parent hears something like that it terrifies us, because we need -- we families and our loved ones need to know that they are being taken care of. that they will not come into harm's way. so when i heard this, i'm -- i'm thinking, okay. so this situation happened. we need to know, what are you
9:35 am
going to do about it so it will never happen again? that's what all of our, all of us who lost loved ones overseas, they usually die because of something, some mistake or something, and we need the peace that comes with knowing that that situation was resolved and never going to happen again. so when he's denying it, and saying he didn't know about it, it scares us, because it makes us think that, you know, if he's not in charge of keeping our loved ones safe, then who is? i see him like a captain of a ship, and it's like he's say in he didn't know about this major threat but he's going to take us on a ride on his boat yet not check the weather or look at his maps to keep us out of harm's way. so -- it makes us all not feel comfortable with our children, our loved ones serving, and that they're keeping them as safe as
9:36 am
possible, and that if something like this can come up there's going to be no consequences to it. we need to see the action. >> yes. and does it -- it is, it was striking, as i've watched over the past couple of days, that the president has not addressed military families since this all started coming out. called it a hoax but said nothing which i've heard from other leaders, which is if this assessment bears out i'm going to do this, i promise this or here's my message to those serving yaev eoverseas right no. does that bother you? >> it bothers me. we need someone who's strong, that reassures us they're on top of intelligence and doing everything they can to keep out of loved ones out of harm's way. so when something comes up like this and we're hearing not only is he denying that it's even real, he has no plan to do anything about it. like actions need to have
9:37 am
consequences. you know, when my son was killed, what i needed to know, i mean, you're going to feel anguish your whole entire life but you will feel a little better if you find out whatever situation happened that killed your child is not going to be -- is not going to happen again. or that there will be justice. so when i read about this situation, i thought -- we need justice. we need to know that this is taken care of. otherwise, we don't feel like our loved ones are safe serving under you. >> it has me 34i thime thinkingt impossible to think about this question. if you had found out your son had a bounty on him and the president do anything about it, how -- what would you do? >> ah. well, you know, what comes with that is rage. you know, many gold star parents do feel rage.
9:38 am
there's been a lot of injustices for many of you us in the deaths of our children and stuff, and we feel rage. you know? so that's kind of what happens. and i don't know what the answer is for it. you know? i remember back in george bush's day when some gold star -- i think a gold star mom or a military mom used to camp out at the entrance of bush's house to try and, you know, remind him that there's human beings that are, that have loved ones, that are serving and just keep remind the human side to it. so, you know, the only thing that will lessen that rage is to know that whatever mess happened, it's mopped up. fix it. resolve it. so we won't think our loved ones died in vain. if my son was killed with this bounty thing and there was no consequences to it, i need to know that something good came out of it. i need to know that no other family is going to suffer like
9:39 am
we have. so, you know, you're hoping this will be fixed and resolved, and that's the good that comes out of it, but in a situation like this, there's no resolution. there's no social justice. you know? so it's -- it's extremely nauseating. i want to say the feeling i had about the whole thing was just nausea, because that's what gold star families feel when they hear of another maiming, another death or a situation where their loved ones didn't have the equipment or didn't have, didn't have the management or whatever that kept them as safe as they can possibly be. >> yeah. and your beautiful son lance corporate benjamin whetstone schmidt is not forgotten his service not in vain. thank you for your service and for coming on today. it's never easy, but thank you. >> thank you for giving us a voice. >> thank you. we'll be right back. 49... 50!

pfizer announcing today positive results from its vaccine trial. 45 people took part in the study. according to pfizer, the side effects pain in the injection site, fever or sleep disturbances according to the drugmaker antibodies found in every patient who received the vaccine. either 28 days after receiving a large single dose or seven days after receiving a second smaller dose. this all comes as the fda announcings that any potential vaccine will need to have and show at least 50% efficacy from
9:44 am
the food and drug administration. and moon knows a lot about vaccines, director at children's hospital of philadelphia. good to see you again, doctor. your reaction to this early data from pfizer on their vaccine trial? >> again, it's early data. you know that they had very good immune responses. responses that neutralize the virus is great. we still don't know whether or not that means you're protected against the disease and you only know that when you do the big placebo control trial that involves about 30,000 people but good and the side effects weren't trivial. you had 50% of people developing fever and then symptoms associated with fever like headache and muscle pain and chills. so -- but again, when trying to prevent a disease that's killing hundreds of people every day, a day of fever is not a big deal. >> so talk to me about this announcement from the food and drug administration that any vaccine will need to show at
9:45 am
least 50% efficacy. is 50% low? can you explain what that means? >> yes. 50% is low. it means that half the people that get the vaccine would be protected against moderate to severe disease. meaning protected from being hospitalized or protected from dieing. that's not bad. but i think we can do much better. dr. fauci said yesterday he thought this vaccine could be about 75% effective. i think probably closer to the truth. remember, the flu vaccine is about 50% effective but you're protecting against the disease that this year in the united states caused about 50 million cases, 700,000 -- up 60,000 deaths. 50% is still an advance. >> i was going to ask how it compares to other vaccines we see. the flu vaccine is about 50%. how effective is the roto virus

you developed? how does it compare in the huge diseases we've been able to develop effective vaccines for? >> it would be very well. why i think we can do better. people get the measles vaccine. after two doses, 97% of people protected against any form of the disease for the rest of their life. rotavirus vaccine, 90%human papilloma, mid-90% range. fairly typical. flu vaccine as well and we can do better than 50% with this disease. >> wanting to ask you about, very interesting opinion piece you wrote recently in the "new york times" about concerns that with what you see from the administration, that the president could push to a vaccine and try to pressure it to be pushed through for political purposes quickly. does what you're hearing come out of the fda, does this does it make you feel any better or worse? >> now, dr. stephen hance said
9:47 am
yesterday, fda commissioner, will not approve use of this through emergency use authorization unless it's shown to be safe and effective. he said the word effective, desk, means doss a pre-trial proven efficacy. i hope he means it. long as he does i think american citizens are protected against putting out a vaccine before we really know how safe or effective it is. >> yeah. as these big trials continue, definitely leaning on you to get your take and if you think it's happening the right way. thank you, doctor. >> thank you. still ahead for us, two police officers shot in tulsa, oak. one of the officers died. the other in critical condition. how an early morning traffic stop went very clearly terribly wrong. welcome back.
9:52 am
a veteran killed today in tulsa leaves behind a wife and two sons. what happened here? >> reporter: a traffic stop happened, kate, on monday morning in the early morning hours and sergeant johnson was with another officer who had just started doing patrols for the tulsa police department. you mentioned johnson was a 15-year veteran who pulled over a suspect who somehow the three men got in a scuffle according to police and shots were fired
9:53 am
multiple times by the suspect. both of those officers were actually hit in the head and both went to the hospital. both underwent surgery and as of now, of course, we know johnson passed away and the other officer, hearing he's actually responding to doctors and there is hope for him, but the police chief, you know, kate talking about how they are people, too. wearing uniforms. different jobs saying you need to remember we're people, too, talking about the fact so much tension between the community and police and a devastating outcome for the police department there in tulsa. there is a memorial being set up around tulsa police car that's growing by the moment. >> and a budget cut. of course coming amid calls for just that.
9:54 am
and what more are you learning. an issue we've heard about. seeing it here in new york. seems this decision made still not making everybody happy. if you talk to police, their concerned because this means they're not going to have a july recruiting class, more than 1,000 officers. seeing month are retirements. have less police on the streets which is something they were really concerned about. if you talk to the protesters, they think this is just a shuffling of money and not actually giving towards what they hoped to do, which is changing the way policing is done. i want you to hear from the mayor on "new day" this morning and talked about the $1 billion and more money redirected to youth communities. take a listen. >> our young people need to be reached. they don't need to be policed. not only $1 billion, in our half
9:55 am
billion to create recreation centers, positive places, for young people in public housing. we have to do a lot of things differently if we're going to change the reality for so many of our young people. >> and a number of -- a lot is going on here in new york city and across the country with this dialogue. >> for sure. thanks. coverage continues. as america faces a fourth of july like no other, coming up, the mayor who made the call to shut down miami's beaches. r: ty fourth join us for a special fortieth anniversary presentation of a capitol fourth! with your hosts john stamos and vanessa williams and performances from coast to coast. featuring:
