♪ hi, welcome to all those joining from around the world, this is "cnn newsroom," i'm robyn curnow, ahead this hour. >> deepest thanks to our wonderful veterans, law enforcement, first responders and doctors, nurses and scientists working tirelessly to kill the virus. >> u.s. president trump headlining a holiday event in south dakota with no social distancing and masks optional. also comes as coronavirus surges across the u.s. plus the girlfriend of donald trump jr., top fundraiser for

the trump campaign has tested positive for the coronavirus. also how the pandemic could mean end to summer big screen blockbuster. >> announcer: live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with robyn curnow. great to have you along, thanks for joining me. u.s. president donald trump celebrated independence day in shadow of iconic mt. rushmore, but the coronavirus pandemic is casting far greater shadow over the nation. more than 50,000 cases for third consecutive day and health officials repeatedly warn to avoid crowds and wear masks in public. but mt. rushmore event went ahead regardless without social distancing and masks optional. mr. trump used some of his 40 minutes on the stage to rail

against what he called a far left cultural revolution. >> it is time to plant our flag and to protect the greatest of this nation for citizens of every race and every city and every part of this glorious land. for the sake of our honor, for the sake of our children, for the sake of our union, we must protect and preserve our history, our heritage, and our great heroes. here tonight before the eyes of our forefathers, americans declare again as we did 244 years ago that we will not be tyrannyized, we will not be demeaned, and we will not be intimidated by bad, evil people. it will not happen.

>> mr. trump mentioned the pandemic only once during his speech, thanking people who are working to fight it. joe jones has more details from mt. rushmore. >> reporter: this visit by the president to south dakota featured a fireworks display, first over historic mt. rushmore in 11 years. also music and military flyovers and speech by the president himself. you might have expected the president to talk extensively about coronavirus, which is ravaging the united states right now. he only mentioned it once at very beginning of the speech, and never came back to it. but one of the themes he chose to hit hardest in this speech was what the president sees as attacks on historic statues all over the country by people who see them as symbols of

oppression. the president said he's not going to let the statues be destroyed. he even said he wants to create some type of garden of heroes with statues in the united states. but he's not going to let americans destroy the statues that now exist. listen. >> those who seek to erase our heritage want americans to forget our pride and our great dignity so that we can no longer understand ourselves or america's destiny. they would tear down the believes, culture and identity that have made america the most vibrant and tolerant society in the history of earth. >> reporter: the president will be back in washington, d.c., on saturday for yet another celebration of the july fourth holiday, though it will be scaled down compared to the celebration there this time last year. traveling with the president in

keystone, south dakota, joe johns, cnn. >> shortly learned that the virus breached the president's inner circle, close to the trump family, kimberly giuilfoyle has tested positive. and donald trump jr.'s girlfriend. all the details, jeremy. >> reporter: kimberly guilfoyle is the national chair of finance committee 2020 and president's son donald trump jr.'s girlfriend. sources confirming to cnn on friday night that she tested positive before she was slated to attend the event at mt. rushmore friday night. sources saying that kimberly guilfoyle was not with the president, had not been in

recent days, and donald trump jr. has so far tested negative for coronavirus. the news was first reported by "new york times" but just latest individual in proximity to the president, including additional staff who have also tested positive. campaign staff who have tested positive in recent weeks. kimberly guilfoyle has played a prominent role in president's campaign, spotted at event in tulsa, oklahoma, two weeks ago, jeremy diamond, cnn, washington. >> donald trump jr. has tested negative so far but self-isolating and cancelling upcoming events as precaution. he and guilfoyle have been with a lot of campaign donors in recent days. u.s. has reported more than 50,000 new cases for third straight day.

another country closing in on 2.8 million cases and more than 130,000 deaths. one group of people especially at risk, secret service agents. eight agents caught the virus preparing for vice president mike pence's trip to arizona, what the states are doing to prepare. >> reporter: fireworks shows, parades and beach barbecues canceled from coast-to-coast over concerns the holiday weekend could fuel a surge in new coronavirus cases. florida now leads the nation in average number of new reported covid-19 cases per day. the state announced 9,488 new cases friday. >> numbers are going up in the hospital, icu beds are filling up, requiring a lot of work and effort to move patients around to make a spot for new patients,

covid or not covid. >> reporter: youngest victim 11-year-old boy from miami-dade county who died from covid-19 complications. tonight a 10:00 p.m. curfew goes into effect county wide to discourage holiday people from going out. >> nothing more american than making a sacrifice to stay home to keep a family member safe, neighbor safe or stranger safe. >> reporter: crowds had started gathering in gulf coast in clearwater, seeing record in california, singing and chanting now banned in houses of worships there. concerns that virus will be transmitted through infected exhaled droplets. in texas masks mandated in more than 2/3 of the counties in the state. governor who many say was slow to make the move now says -- >> if people gather for fourth

of july same as memorial day, going to lead to massive increase in number of people testing positive, who will be hospitalized and could lead again to increase in number of people who lose their lives. >> reporter: despite having once downplayed importance of wearing a mask rgs surgeon general said it's imperative. >> if you want college football in the fall, wear a face covering. if you want prom next year, wear a face covering. can prevent asymptomatic spread and help us overcome the virus. >> reporter: there was a spike over the memorial day weekend. hope that people learned their lessons. been a number of closures and restrictions but health officials say what it's going to come down to is people taking advice of health officials, practicing social distancing and wearing a face covering. jason carroll, cnn new york. >> in the last hour i spoke to

professor of epidemiology in ucla, asked about the rally where the president was flouting the advice and wearing a mask once. >> photos that we saw tonight are clearly a complete disregard for public health. most patriotic thing anybody can do is wear a mask. i would have loved to have seen masks worn at that event tonight and for the president to be standing in front of people wearing a mask. really and truly this is a very irresponsible event. >> i think there were 7,000, 8,000 people there as we know. as we can see from the images, people sitting next to each other, not wearing masks. coronavirus was barely mentioned. what is the risk to those people? do you feel that they have put their lives in danger as they've come to listen to the president

today? >> absolutely. here's the thing, we know that asymptomatic infection is responsible for a large part of the spread of coronavirus. and whether or not somebody is asymptomatic, where they never show symptoms, or presymptomatic, just before they show symptoms doesn't really matter. fact of the matter is people don't know they're infected. they're around other people and spread the virus. that's why wearing a mask is so critical. we know that masks have a dramatic impact on reducing spread of the virus. and if everybody was wearing a mask, doing their part, we would all be benefitting from this. you know, the president would love to see the economy open up, we would all love to. way we see the economy opening up is decrease the spread of the virus and wearing a mask is way to do that in absence of vaccines and therapeutics. >> we also know that the

president's inner circle has again been touched by the virus. his son's girlfriend has tested positive. apparently unsymptomatic. hearing from the campaign and white house she hasn't been close to the president but very much an indication that no one is immune here. >> absolutely. nobody is immune to the virus. virus doesn't care what political party you belong to, what your sociodemographics are, where in the united states you're from or anywhere in the world, everyone is susceptible, and when they're susceptible and come together, there's opportunity for the virus to spread. it's pretty simple. we're very far from all being immune to this virus. so when we have large groups of people coming together, we create opportunities for the virus to spread. >> give me sense from your expertise as professor of

epidemiology, you've studied how viruses go from animals into humans. we understand there's been a slight mutation from some reports in this virus that makes it perhaps more contagious, what do you know about that? >> this is preliminary data suggesting it may be more contagious, may have mutated to become more contagious but it's preliminary data. and viruses mutate all the time, wouldn't be earth shattering news or surprising to see virus has mutated and changed characteristics one way or another. but fact of the matter is, doesn't impact what we're doing in terms of public health. what we need to be focusing on at this particular moment is how we reduce the spread of the virus and whether it's mutated to become more contagious is

really beside the fact. what we need to think about right now is we have cases spiking throughout the united states, i mean texas is in crisis, california is not doing well. florida, the numbers are through the roof. what we all need to be focusing on is what can we do to reduce spread of the virus. i know i keep repeating myself here but really is the truth, all we can do is do our best at social distancing, wearing masks, hand hygiene, all the blunt public health measures is all we've got in arsenal right now. >> folks will say it's independence weekend, it's tradition, need to get out, see family, they can take certain precautions. what do you say to people who do need to get out, want to see family? what do you advise? >> i completely understand this issue. i completely understand that everybody is tired of staying at home. you know, things that you can do

are to make sure whatever you do is outside, wear a mask, stay socially distanced from people, and i use this example all the time. for my birthday, wanted to spend time with my mom, so i made sure to quarantine for two weeks before i saw her to make sure i wasn't going to spread the virus to her. i had the luxury of being able to do that. not everybody does. but gives you example of you need to be making choices. everything has a cost. so you need to be really thinking about what is my risk, have i done something where i might have been exposed to other people, and do i want to potentially expose others. >> thank you very much for joining us, appreciate it. >> my pleasure. so the debate over american monuments looms large, large as

mt. rushmore this independence day. we've seen statues targeted during protested and that's in turn be targeted by the u.s. president donald trump. what he's been saying about it friday night. >> angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders, deface our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities. many of these people have no idea why they're doing this but some know exactly what they are doing. >> santiago has more on what the independence day holiday is supposed to celebrate and why many americans just feel left out. >> reporter: fireworks, parades, ceremonies, the celebration of u.s. independence, once declared by founding fathers that wrote all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable

rights among these life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. but very rights being celebrated on independence day are the same rights that millions of americans say they and their ancesto ancestors have not been allowed to enjoy. what does independence mean to you? >> i will always be a proud american, but that doesn't mean i don't realize the faults and the flaws this country has. >> reporter: for historian and author jesse holland, that includes the injustice that has led to unrest across the country, inequalities in communities of color highlighted by a pandemic. >> i think it's fair to sometimes question whether america loves african-americans as much as we love it. >> we can solve these problems if we just do it together. >> reporter: for 93-year-old opal lee, independence must commemorate the freedom of all, including juneteenth, the day

enslaved people in texas learned all those enslaved in confederate states had been freed. >> i'm advocating we have juneteenth from the 19th to the 4th of july. >> reporter: as americans face a reckoning over racism past and present, there's no message of healing from the white house. instead president trump is calling a black lives matter street mural a symbol of hate after new york city announced it would be painted in front of trump tower and demanding protection for confederate statures. >> unhinged left-wing mob is trying trying to desecrate our monuments. >> not going to happen. >> reporter: even on twitter and refusing to sign thing changing name of military bases named

after confederate leaders. >> i'm hopeful we as a country will decide the confederacy is something to be studied, not glorified and we're able to actually celebrate who we are when we celebrate independence day. >> reporter: president trump kicked off independence day weekend standing at mt. rushmore in front of a monument of two slave owners on land wrestled away from native americans for the national park. leyla santiago, cnn, washington, d.c.. mexico more covid-19 deaths than france. what steps mexico is taking as much of latin america struggles to contain the virus as well. next. can be ready for it. a digital foundation from vmware helps you redefine what's possible... now. from the hospital shifting to remote patient care in just 48 hours... to the university moving hundreds of apps quickly to the cloud...

mexico is now reporting more covid-19 cases than italy, one of the hardest hit countries early on. health officials say it could be weeks until cases start to peak in mexico. but that's not what's stopping many businesses in the capital from reopening. matt riffes has more. >> reporter: for months people in mexico watched as the pandemic tore through europe,

now roles appear to be reversed. countries in europe on the mend and outbreak in mexico seemingly getting worse by the day, and numbers appear to bear it out. last few days saw death toll surpass that of spain, and next day or two, expect it to be greater than what we have seen in france. now when it comes to confirmed cases, new numbers reported by mexican health officials on friday now put the total case number here in mexico higher than the total case number in italy. just goes to show you when the w.h.o. says that latin america is the new epicenter of this pandemic, there is reason that they are saying that. meanwhile in the northwestern mexican state of sonora, on the border with u.s. state of arizona, health officials there this weekend are putting in more border checkpoints, they're concerned that people coming south from the u.s. could be

bringing virus with them because of the exponential rise in cases we'd seen in arizona recently. u.s. and mexico agreed to close the land border there to all nonessential travel but last weeks they've seen increasing violations of that order. that's why health officials are putting in place those additional checkpoints. matt rivers, cnn, mexico city. health inspectors in rio are slapping fines. half those fined are restaurants and bars. patrons crowded to the without masks has provoked widespread outcry. bars and restaurants allowed to operate at 50% capacity since they reopened thursday. tables must be at least two meters apart. brazil has reported more than 1.5 million cases nationwide. england's pubs and restaurants are reopening this

saturday. doesn't mean everything is back to normal. british prime minister is urging everyone to be responsible and warning those who might defy restrictions they're letting others down. >> my view, my urgings to everybody can be summed up in the phrase enjoy summer safely. i do want people to feel that it's safe to go and enjoy themselves, hospitality, but it's got to be done in a responsible way. you know, heads of parties got to give their name, contact details to everybody behind the bar -- behind the -- in the restaurant or wherever. got to be done. got to observe social distancing. wash hands. and this will be a success. if not, as chris says, the risks are there and obvious. i'm afraid that the risks are absolutely manifest in other countries that we know and love well, where there are

difficulties. >> boris johnson also says he won't hesitate to reapply restrictions if infections get out of control. concerning travel to england, 59 countries and 14 british overseas territories, travelers from those places no longer have to quarantine on arrival. u.s. is not on that list. still to come, independence day during a pandemic, but hardly know there was health crisis at all based on the president's holiday message to the nation.

welcome back to all viewers around the world, i'm robyn curnow, you're watching cnn from atlanta. u.s. president donald trump has wrapped up another large event, this time at mt. rushmore in south dakota. as coronavirus cases surge, his own health officials have urged people to maintain social distancing and wear masks. at mt. rushmore, masks were optional and there was no social distancing. and top official kimberly guilfoyle tested positive before the event. donald trump jr.'s girlfriend, the president's son has tested negative they say. president railed against removal of monuments, what he called the left-wing cultural revolution. he mentioned the virus just one. senior analyst ron brownstein joins me now. great to speak to you. symbolism, politics all about

symbolism a lot of the time. for mr. trump standing in front of mt. rushmore, powerful. what did you make of the speech? >> july fourth is holiday that connotes national unity and heritage. it's a moment that when presidents speak, binds americans together. he used this occasion to make one of his most unadulterated calls to arms for red america against blue america. it was an extraordinary speech, it was a vision of visions. so profound that you do wonder if even republicans who need to win voters beyond the trump base are willing to go down as dark a road as the president laid out tonight. >> yeah, this wasn't a subtle dog whistle. >> no. >> seemed like a treatise, and

like you said, a call to arms. how dangerous was it? and more importantly who was listening? who was this aimed at? >> as we've talked about before, i believe the core of the trump coalition are voters most uneasy about the way the country is changing, demographically, culturally and economically. for that audience, this is exactly what they want to hear. his problem that's around 40% or maybe less of the electorate. he was elected in large part in 2016 because there was another piece of his coalition, penumbra of coalition of voters not as motivated by racial grievance he put out but willing to take a chance on business guy to shake up system and be effective president. if you look at polling consistently now, he's lost that piece of his electorate. there have been several polls

out in last two weeks with him trailing among college-educated white voters by 30 points. never seen anything remotely like that for republican candidate. tonight he's talking to 40%. few people in the biden campaign heard this and said yes, he's figured out how to win back the voters who drifted away. we're at 50,000 cases again, and once again, no social distancing, no mask wearing, essentially, this is not happening. >> only mentioned coronavirus once, right at top where he thanked first responders. but no sense this was global pandemic that america is losing in terms of numbers, in terms of infections. and clearly also sending a message that coronavirus be damned, politics perhaps is more important. >> well, you know, republican -- said to me last week, you can't

simply ignore what is on the mind of the country and not expect to suffer. the president doesn't want to talk about the resurgence of the -- not even up to a second wave, still in first wave. wants to act as though it's not happening and focus on the economy and culture war which he thinks are better issues for him. but there is a price to that. if you look particularly at the way this is now literally burning through the sun belt, florida, georgia, texas and arizona, four republican governors who followed his cues, opened early and widely, expressly prohibited local democratic officials from contra serening the openings in any way and all four are burning with the virus. white-collar voters in suburban areas have moved away and also seniors now largely because of the coronavirus. i don't see how repeatedly downplaying it, ignoring it and sending signal i'm not taking it

seriously helps him with the problems most severe for him at this point. >> spoken about suburban, college-educated woman, who he is losing at the moment. suggesting that the combination of the coronavirus and also the deep sense of hate we've seen coming out across the country. he seems to just triple down on that today. >> he did. >> and many people seem to be -- found it so distasteful, the reality has been so uncomfortable, even if they voted for him first time around, has found this particularly uncomfortable. why has he doubled down on it? >> said before, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. president's view of how he wins is stoking cultural and racial grievance among his core, and getting increased turnout. there are numbers who didn't

vote in 2016 and hoping to increase turnout. problem is everybody else hears the same messages. not only driving his numbers down among younger voters, 18 to 29 and now all the way up to 45, oldest millennials and youngest generation, not only a backlash in nonwhite voters but suburban voters, not only the women who moved in 2016, men didn't move as much. now a recoil among the men. president's speech tonight was as if he was running for president in 1968 when draft cards were being burned and there's civil unrest in the streets. it was plausible for richard nixon to say to suburban white voters i'll restore law and order and make you safer. key difference now many of the same suburban white voters

believe he's making them less not more safe. there was one poll by 2-1, feel less safe rather than more because he's president. in a single poll result encapsulates the difference between now and 1968 he's longing for in his speech tonight. >> fascinating. also with the news that's broken last hour that president's son's girlfriend, kimberly guilfoyle, has tested positive for coronavirus. >> yes. >> they said she wasn't near him, and donald junior tested negative but again the inner circle touched by this despite the messaging. >> he's looking at situation where 60% of americans, poll after poll of different media organizations say he has failed in response to the coronavirus. and i think the idea that you can say we're just moving on,

one line tonight, not even mentioning it. but when you do mention it, kung flu, openly racist sentiments. you can't ignore something in which 50,000 cases are happening a day and hospital systems in major american counties like harris, houston, and miami-dade in florida and maricopa in arizona are being overwhelmed. maricopa county in arizona, centered around phoenix, largest county in america that trump won. very little chance of being president again if he doesn't win it again in 2020. yet they're heading towards 50,000 cases in that one county probably sometime this week. hospital system is straining at the gills and he's ignoring, downplaying the problem. it just boggles the mind. forget the morality and leadership issues, as pure

political strategy, he's telling places burning with coronavirus he's not interested in their problem at some point i, and i don't see how that helps him recover the voters that have moved away from them since 2016 and 2018. >> good to get your perspective, ron brownstein in l.a. thanks ron. >> thank you, thanks for having me. still to come, many young adults, just left the nest but coronavirus is sending them right back home. that has implications for battered u.s. economy. we'll explain.

so millions of young americans will be spending the fourth of july holiday at home with their parents thanks to covid-19. free meals, free rent, may be great for now, but new cultural trend could have long-term effects for the u.s. economy as

claire sebastian now reports. >> reporter: when daniel left l.a. in mid-march to celebrate 25th birthday in new york, had no idea he wouldn't be going back. >> moment i landed, phone blew up, had a thousand texts. restaurant had shut down, new york city had shut down, parents came to pick me up, came back to connecticut and never went back. >> reporter: furloughed from restaurant and lease was monthly, he gave notice and friend shipped belongings. >> my two other siblings, all three of us home again. i don't think anyone thought would be in this situation again in childhood home. >> reporter: least of all mom. >> there's meals for mom to cook, laundry always filled with someone else using washer. dishwasher runs night and day, food bills are crazy.

>> reporter: moved in with parents and grandparents in march and april this year, 32 million according to real estate website zillo. >> when you think about the size of the people moving back home, talking around $726 million at risk that traditionally flows into the rental market. rent nonpayment or people moving home is causing the pressure to come off. >> reporter: young people some of the hardest hit by job losses in pandemic. if continues to improve, could see them coming back in the rental market. but not just those who lost jobs who headed home to mom and dad. >> in new york, saying that city is going to shut down, offices shut down. at that point i booked a flight

home. >> reporter: 24-year-old works as management consultant in new york, job she can do from parents' house in l.a. >> live alone in new york, one bedroom apartment, if i had to be quarantined alone, wouldn't be easy. >> reporter: lease up in may, didn't extend, plan to stay with parents until office reopens. >> fear in a way it's stunting my growth as a recent college graduate. i think even my mom is worried about me. keeps telling people. >> reporter: longer people stay at home, deeper impact on real estate. >> it's incredible advantage to avoid rent, especially when it's taking up larger share of income and student loan debt is at record highs. if they stay in gen-x parents'

homes, impact the market in the future. >> reporter: weeks have turned to months for americans in these arrangements. question now is whether months turn to years. claire sebastian, cnn, new york. air france plans to cut jobs next few years after coronavirus brought air travel to a halt. employees gathered in protest after announcement. at height of the pandemic, company was losing nearly $17 million a day, doesn't expect demand to fully recover until 2024. next in "newsroom," it's normally time for summer blockbusters to hit the theaters but nothing is normal these days. film industry is at a crossroads.

broadway right now. in fact, you can't see anything on broadway. but the smash-hit "hamilton" is now available to stream. take a listen. ♪ don't forget from what you came and the world's gonna know your name, what's your name ♪ ♪ alexander hamilton >> the film version of "hamilton" is now available on disney plus, as a growing number of new movies are being released via video, on demand, or streaming. richard quest has all the details on that. >> the day so far. today, tomorrow, it's all the same. >> it was back in january, when palm springs, andy sandberg's new romantic comedy, was on track to make a big splash. it had sold at sundance for a record price, reportedly, $170

million. the buyers hulu had agreed for a dual release. it would go to the theaters, first. and then, online. then, came covid. now, the movie theaters are shut across the united states and in the rest of the world. >> it's one of those infinite time situations you might have heard about. >> the producer said good-bye to the idea of a splashy, theatrical release. and, instead, palm springs will premiere on hulu on july the 10th. and there will be a few drive-in theaters, as well. >> it was something that, you know, andy and i and the director and everybody, you know, were looking forward to. so we're definitely bummed out a little bit. but that's -- that's the world we're in right now. >> to release? or not to release? that is the question that faces all of hollywood now. the studios have delayed big-budget films, like christopher nolan's "tenet."

and disney's "mulan." waiting, hoping movie theaters may reopen, studios cannot wait forever. some are choosing, instead, to rent or sell the movie direct to viewers. known as pvod, or premium video on demand. >> if theaters do not open in july, or even if they do and then, they close down. or if attendance just isn't there, i guarantee that one of these big blockbuster films is going to take a chance and go pvod. and we're going to know, we're going to have the answer to how much a film -- how much a film can gross on this streaming format. can it make a billion dollars? >> more niche films like kids movies are already releasing on streaming service or on demand. and what's more, they're finding captive, profitable audiences. >> "trolls world tour" actually brought in more money for

universal through on demand than the first "trolls" movie did in the theaters. as for "palm springs" the producer dylan sellars says putting the film on hold wasn't really an option because they're a small studio, and need to recoup the costs. even without theatrical release, he says, they'll turn a profit. >> i think if you talk to the folks at hulu, they'll tell you that this has been an incredible attraction for their viewers. it is surpassing all their expectations. in terms of, you know, audience subscriber interest. >> the clear losers in all of this are the movie theaters. the movie chain amc is now warning it has serious doubts it can even stay in business. viewers, already shifting online. the pandemic has sped up this transition. >> the battle is being won by streaming right now and for the foreseeable future, that's going to continue. >> blockbusters, to be sure,

will probably always be shown in the movie theaters, first. at least, for now. richard quest, cnn, new york. >> so you thought coronavirus was scary enough? well, not for some people in japan. i want you to take a look at this. it's a drive-in horror show in tokyo. so how does it work? members of the audience drive into a garage, one car at a time. then, actors, dressed as zombies, attack the car. banging on the hood and spraying fake blood for about 15 minutes. just horrifying. to get yourself scared out of your skin like this will cost you just $84. or, of course, you can just live in 2020, for free. thanks for watching cnn. i'm robyn curnow. the news continues with my friend paula newton after the break. you can't predict the future. but a resilient business can be ready for it.
