i love miami.after having done your research and meeting all these interesting characters we clearly have no shortage of this is the kind of place you thank you could live? >> there is no blanket statement i could make because it is such a variety. i don't know the statistics for single mothers and things like that. but it is such a complicated subject. but it wouldn't hurt to get down a little bit it seems to me. >> do you thank you could live here? >> sure. i would say some of miami you could get a four or five bedroom apartment down near the ocean $400,000. [laughter] but real estate decline hit miami long before the recession of 87. but i hear you can't get those great bargains. >> in the beginning of the bonfire of the vanities the mayor of new york city is told back to blood and now i noticed that the title of your book is there any symbolism to the fact you use that phrase? >> back to blood. >> tell me that phrase again? >> back to blood. [laughter] i felt i had to explain in the prologue of

and downtown miami but since yesterday it has been peaceful so much so that the city of miami mayor francis warres tweeted out today quote i am proud of miami i am proud of our residents and i am proud of our police who have made this city a model of how a peaceful protest can deliver an impactful message and likewise earlier today mayor carlos gomez the mayor of miami dade county said that miami dade is united along with the rest of our county and the rest of our country in denouncing the horrific crime against george floyd by 4 officers in minneapolis i am with you in mourning and i wholeheartedly support our communities right to peacefully protest and just a little while ago about 40 minutes ago for. you minutes ago mayor jimenez also said that reports that a federal riot teams were sent to miami due to the escalation of protests were untrue this goes with the reporting including some of the reporting i did yesterday that attorney general william barr had ordered bureau of prisons riot teams to washington d.c. and miami to deal with the protests and now according the mare jimenez

monday but miami dade county still has an active curfew in effect miami police remain on high alert as protests the largely peaceful continue according to miami dade county mayor carlos jimenez who tweeted thursday attention everyone effective tonight i have moved the curfew time to midnight from miami dade county beaches will remain closed for tomorrow keep in mind a curfew time may change again if street conditions change but they just here in miami shut down in march due to the ongoing corona. pandemic and police have arrested or detained anyone who's dared to go out on the sand but this week in miami more businesses such as restaurants and some malls started reopening again including those on the famous ocean drive in south beach where 10 blocks have been shut down to traffic to give restaurants more room to social distance it's unclear of course when the protests over george floyd's death will simmer down not only here in miami but nationwide the protests in miami and other parts of florida took a violent turn last weekend when protesters clashed with police and the demonstrations

well you're right and speaking of curfews real quick the city of miami miami dade county both have a curfew in effect city in miami from 8 pm to fight in the county from 9 pm till 6 am but behind me here manila and actually want to walk with me there's a gathering of protesters they gather right out side of the american airlines arena which is the case yes to. they as well demonstrators who gathered here on the steps they're giving speeches they're doing some interviews with the media just follow me because they literally were just here now they're walking down it looks like this came boulevard it's not that huge a crowd. it's not the size of the crowds that we saw over the weekend when things got really contentious here in the city of miami and there were clashes between the demonstrators between protesters and police there was some looting going on mostly at the bayside marketplaces you just just down the boulevard here and also there was some damage as we showed you earlier in the show in our earlier a live shot in downtown miami but for now this is peaceful i could tell you this

miami-dade county mayor carlos gimÉnez from miami., you take a bar and beach and you get coronavirus, how concerned are you of behavior of people especially young people who seem to be fueling many new cases and did not listen to either mask wearing or social distancing? >> hello, i'm very concerned and that's why i issued the orders for this holiday weekend. it was a tough decision but i had to make it. i did not want to overcrowd the beaches with young people and we've seen a tremendous spike in positive cases from young people and that's very concerning. so the order to shut down beaches, holiday weekend, also the parks will be closing at 8:00 o'clock, so they'll be no fireworks coming out of park, you watch a firework from your house but not crowds of people. we've always had our bars closed in miami-dade county, we never opened them up and so we also are closing the pools. the public pools and hotel pools will be closed during the holiday weekend. again, because we will see people in pools and so all of those are steps that i've

we do it with miami beach, high le hialeah and 34 cities in miami county. we look at the data, analyze it, make decisions and announce those decisions. for us it's not political. we're not trying to win -- i'm not trying to win an election. i don't even have an election this year. for me it's about doing what is best not only for the economy of the city but also for its residents who are the people that i represent, the people i have to answer to, the people that depend on me to be their voice and to speak for them. for me it simplifies the decisionmaking process when i don't have to do it in a political context. >> dr. roy, let me ask you, the mayor was one of the first people in florida, i think he was number two or number one to actually get coronavirus. i don't know whether that informs his opinion, but i get it. i get the people who want to get out. i get the people who want to -- i don't get the people who want to get a hair cut, but i get people want to exist out there. what can we offer them in terms of timelines or measures that will allow this to

miami and speaking of downtown miami just to set the scene for you we're at the corner of northeast 1st avenue and northeast 2nd street this is where the protesters marched through this is where some of the violence happened and you've given i think just to give me an example here this is a pawn shop you see the window shattered there and right next door this movie this restaurant you can see some of the damage left behind as other businesses as we keep walking andres my photographer have boarded up here like this location there's actually a city of miami police department notice here saying while you were out c.s.i. crime scene investigators were at this location taking photos of the exterior presumably because of more damage happening there clashes between protesters and police broke out saturday's evening overall the protest was peaceful saturday afternoon but then things started really kind of kicking off. into the evening saturday protesters blocked at one point laying some of the lanes on interstate 95 then they took and then they targeted the city of miami police department d

miami is a very interesting group of counties and communities. there's the city of miami.re's coral gables there's miami beach. there's miami dade there's ft. lauderdale and so forth. tell us what the situation was like last night and through the morning hours and today in miami. >> last night was much better than saturday night. saturday what was peaceful protest turned somewhat problematic when a very small group of people decided to vandalize police cars and set a couple of them on fire and vandalize some property. by in large, there weren't major confrontations or major arrests. yesterday was flawless we implemented a curfew. we announced it with community leaders throughout the day we kept consistent with our message. the proes tterprotesters did a t job. our police did a magnificent job. >> you said that only 13 of the 57 arrests were miami residents. where did the other people come from and was there anything in their profiles that led you to believe that they had been organized and deployed by outside agitators or influencers? >> it's too early for us to tell some

are you worried that if the miami area continues along this trend hospitals in miami beach, in miamiuld be overwhelmed fairly soon? >> i would be foolish not to be worried. we've had -- every day seems like we hit a new high. they are younger. no question. our local hospital had 15 patients come in. the administrator taught me many were young. it's definitely a real thing. people realize it but fortunately not everybody following along in terms of enforcement. >> do you accept from governor desantis that this surge in numbers is due to more testing? >> no, no. because you may get more positives, but the percent of positives is much higher than the 10% the cdc says you should have. by the way, the amount of hospitalizations are increasing. you can't fake a hospitalization or distort it with more testing. you're either sick or you're not. this is real. we're getting an increase in hospitalizations, increase in the percentage. there's much more virus in our community. no question about it. >> hospitalization is serious. one hospital, jackson health system in miami, you're familiar with

cars are allowed to partially open now here's the thing the city of miami and i did on miami dade county are doing the slower phase one started last week face 2 is supposed to start on monday here in miami that's because the overall number of cases the highest number of cases of coded 1000 have been in south florida and particularly here in miami and miami dade county which is reported the most cases close to 20000 total cases thus far you know behind me one of the restaurants here american social this is a bar restaurant this is actually the 1st time i've seen that many people sitting here at the restaurant up until this point it's been takeout delivery orders only sell things are definitely changing beaches were supposed to open on monday but as i reported yesterday because of the ongoing curfews due to the ongoing protests resulting to the drug resulting from the george floyd death and the nationwide protests as long as the curfew remains in effect here in miami dade county the mayor of miami dade county county parliamentarism police officials say beaches will remain closed so that wi

>> no, you can't hold an indoor rally in miami-dade county.ow large gatherings inside there. you can hold some gatherings inside, but we have to approve the social distancing and it will be nowhere close to the capacity of that venue, and look, it's not just indoor gatherings of a lot of people. it's outdoor gatherings of a lot of people, too, because the way you transmit this disease, the number one way is particles from your mouth going close to somebody who then inhales it. that can happen indoors and outdoors. obviously it happens more indoors but outdoor large gatherings of outdoors is also very dangerous. that's why we don't allow anything more than 50 people to be gathered here and it's not coincidental that two weeks after demonstrations happen here in miami-dade county, a lot by young people, that we've had this spike. so i'm not saying that's the entire thing but that's certainly contributed to the spike that we have, because we haven't had any bars open here in miami-dade. we've had social distancing. we've had the mask wearing but

he understands that things are different here in miami dade. we expected huge crowds to be at the beach. it would have been very hard for us to control our social distancing and having people abide by the rules. we've also seen here in the last, let's say, couple of holidays when you have, say, mother's day or when you have memorial day, two weeks later we see a spike in the number of cases. we saw a spike in the number of cases. we thought the same thing would happen now and we don't want a spike on top of a spike. and so in order to be proactive we took the step of closing the beaches down. we also will close the parks at 8:00 so there won't be any fireworks. we also reiterated our prohibition on groups of more than 50 people and also we are now, in the hot spots, we are putting what we call surge teams out, giving out masks and hand sanitizers in those zip codes where we're seeing a spike in the number of cases in order to try to bring this positive rate down, down below 10%. that's what we want to see. >> among those measures, i didn't hear

wolf. >> rosa flores in miami beach, thanks very much.ss what's going on with the mayor of miami. mayor, thanks for joining us. you just heard rosa report florida set the record number of cases in a single day. nearly 9,000 new cases just reported today. how concerned should the people of your beautiful city, miami, be right now? >> we're very concerned. we hit 1500 cases today. that's three times what i call the high water mark of march, which was 533. so we're 300% of greater in terms of new cases than we were back in march. the state of florida is seven times greater than the high water mark was 1300 cases in march. so it's incredibly concerning. we are seeing hospitals increase or decrease their capacity limitations, increase in the number of p hospitalizations. the number of icu beds, the nump ventilators being used. we're not yet at a vice crisis level. we have sufficient capacity, but it is tremendous cause for concern because we know a lot of the hospitalizations lag behind the new cases, so the concern is that even though the new

doing that here as well you know this i've been reporting extensively on this but according to the miami herald in its story over the weekend the number a rate of new coven $1000.00 cases were rising statewide a troubling indicator that the disease could be spreading more quickly and then the report goes on to say that the $64.00 counties here in florida that moved into the 2nd phase of reopening june 5th saw a near 42 percent increase in new cases the week before that could not be explained by increased testing alone so the state of florida right now by last glance earlier this afternoon had about 707-700-1000 cases ok that number could have gone up about 3000 deaths so what the miami herald is saying that that basically state officials the governor rhonda santas have attributed to more testing across the board testing anybody who wants to test can get a task but the herald is saying well that may not necessarily be so and this may be attributed to the phase openings phase one about 6 weeks ago phase 2 bars restaurants jim salon about 2 weeks ago and the herald goes on to write that ove

i'm joined by francis suarez, the mayor of miami. good to have you.nder if you agree with the analysis out of the university of pennsylvania that said it looks like florida has all the markings of the next large epicenter of coronavirus transmission. >> i wish it were under better circumstances. what's happening is the high watermark for florida during the time we implemented the stay-at-home orders was 1,300 new cases. we had 4,70 new ca0 cases. in miami-dade the high watermark was 533 case. the last report had us at over 900 new cases. we are obviously extremely concerned. i just got off a call with the department of health to get on this interview, and i'm going back to that call, to determine what other measures we can continue to take to make sure businesses are safe. >> i know you're working with the department of health today to distribute masks in some of the clusters you're seeing around miami. i wonder where your head is on potentially mandating mask wearing everywhere outside like it is inside now. >> that's certainly an option we cannot di

and to miami to try to tamp down protests in those cities. what are you hearing about that? >> that's right, the bureau of prisons is sending riot teams here in washington and in miami. we know that over the weekend, the fbi's s.w.a.t. team was out late last night as things got out of control near lafayette park. we've also seen dea and the u.s. marshals out. the justice department said they'll send at many federal resources as they can where they're needed, jake. >> i'm told in new york city, one in seven of protesters arrested as of thursday were not from new york city. protesters, some of them, were using encrypted communications. it does seem suspicious, even organized. but by whom? >> yeah, that's the big question. and i think even new york city is struggling to answer the question. it appears at least some of this communication is being done with people who are riding bikes, trying to be lookout scouts, trying to make sure they can keep ahead of what the police are doing. it doesn't look right now, jake, that -- certainly in new york city, that they can answer the ques

the mayor of miami francis suarez is now requiring all residents everybody who's out to wear a mask unless you're working out unless you're running unless you're you're biking i have a mask you know i'm not trying to pull you know i'm not trying to look cool i do have a mask so you do have a lot more people i'm seeing walking around people are wearing masks and some people are a lot of people still are ok but more people are going out rick or younger people that millennial demographics 24 to 55 year old those are the people that are going out those are the people that are going to the bars to the restaurants those are the people that are working in any industry but again this continuous upward trend that is troubling to officials and you know as far as mitigating that look the bars the restaurants you have to wear a mask when you go in when you're sitting at a table you don't when you're out about you have to wear a mask it's not being enforced so various places are trying to do their best you know is it going to continue to climb it's kind of a wait and see approach we'll see but a

only 13 people lived in miami. they tried to loot last night a c.v.s. store. the police moved in, wouldn't allow it. there was no soft touch. the cities that have the problems are the mayors that are run by democrats who are liberal, like that idiot in new york. thank you very much. host: she mentioned the word antifa, the president yesterday commenting about that, tweeting about that. the "new york times" writes that the president said his administration "will be designating antifa has a terrorist organization," referring to the shorthand for anti-fascists. but they write antifa is a movement of activists who dress in black and call themselves anarchists, not an organization with a clear structure that can be penalized under law. moreover, american law applies to terrorist designation to foreign entities, not domestic groups. by targeting antifa, however, mr. trump effectively paints all the protests with the brush of violent radicalism without addressing the underlying conditions that have driven many of the people who have taken to the streets. from the "ne

masks here in miami. brooke. >> let me get the doctor on this. rosa in miami, thank you. and joining me now dr. ali khan from the university of nebraska medical center and also former director of the office of public health preparedness and response at the cdc. so nice to talk to you, dr. khan. and first let's go back to the president's comments and his suggestion from over the weekend that it would be okay to cut back on testing. your thoughts on that. >> so thank you, brooke. so, one, of course not. how do you manage an outbreak without testing people and still have this tragic case of 120,000 people who have died from this outbreak. so not testing isn't the solution. but the other part of the comment that you just discussed is decreasing testing and that is actually supported by data. so we've gone from less than 100 cases march 1st to 100 tests per day to half a million tests per day, right now. so we made a large increase in tests and that will continue to increase. but testing and number of testing

the mayors of miami and miami beach are also looking at that same data, and they are concerned. that they could and are considering imposing restrictions. the mayor in miami beach going as far as saying that he might require masks to be worn all the time. the mayor of miami saying that he's concerned because a portion of the spike is within the ages of 18 and 34, and he's concerned that these individuals might take it home, and perhaps, spread it to their parents and grandparents. now, according to governor ron desantis, this spike is due to outbreaks in agricultural communities. and the mayor here in miami-dade says that agricultural communities in south miami-dade, alisyn, are going to be tested, that mobile units are going to be sent out, and those communities are just a short drive away here from miami. >> okay. that's really important context. thank you very much, rosa. >>> well, the fbi and the justice department are now investigating the hanging deaths of two black men in california. we have the background next. remind me to call petsmart for ralphie's appointment. who's

and now down in florida coronavirus cases are also sweeping across that state causing the mayor of miami dade county to order a crackdown on businesses that aren't following the social distancing and mask wearing guidelines are to correspondent john how he has more for us from miami. this is downtown brickell it's a very busy part of miami there's a lot of bars as are a lot of restaurants there's a big mall here and what we're noticing as we walk around is that there's really more people who aren't wearing a mask then there are at this point. there are plenty of reminders about social distancing and mask rules for businesses but that doesn't mean everyone is following the rules well most people at this mall were wearing masks as required at a nearby coffee shop one customer inside was wearing one i did found this discarded mask on my way to work well we're not trying to be the coded 1000 mask police i point all this out because that's florida continues to see a surge in new coven 1000 cases with miami consistently posting the highest numbers in the state the seemingly lax attitude among

this is where it is it's miami dade county it's not highest infection rate so that's the demographic of the people that are most sick. that's the bad news also the number of cases the number of hospitalizations continues to go up here's the thing state and local officials are saying 2 factors one the reopening of business in reopening of the state bake specked in an uptick ok also more testing being done basically anyone and everyone rick who wants to go get tested for codeine teen or the. audi's you can do it whether it's through your health care provider whether it's one of that one of the doc in the box is an urgent care place or through the city or county you can go get tested so there's been an increase in the number of tests and with that an increase in the number of positive cases you know but what is alarming what is troublesome for officials is how far it's going up on a daily basis you know today no exception more than 5000 new cases i think tuesday set a record more than 5400 new cases of covered 19 statewide so basically when you're looking at the health metrics on the st

i'm joined by the mayor of miami-dade county, dispatching masks and hand sanitizer to residence in the hardest hit neighborhoods offering free hotel rooms to those infected and unable to social distance at home. joining me now. mayor, thank you very much. it's good to have you here tonight. first of all, just on the issue that i mentioned in the introduction, do you think that that is logical, fair to say that if you are from florida, don't show up in new york, your license plate will get you kicked out. or your driver's license if you fly in. >> we have had a 14-day self escalation. macro people in the tri-state area, because it is a hard hit area of the united states. they have had 17,500 deaths in the city itself, so it is much harder hit than we have ever seen in the state of florida and miami-dade county, our count is 150. we have had a spike, but the spike that we have seen is 18 o, 34-44-year-olds, that's where the spike is right now. so we expect that while we have had the spike, we don't expect the outcomes to be quite as bad as if it was spiking in the elderly community, so t

actually the city of miami was the last city to open.'re also the densest and most populated city in the state of florida and people went out. i think they believed that this thing was over. we had, you know, over 30 days of declining cases. we were down to, you know, less than 100 cases per day some days. i think people just got complacent. and i think now we're seeing -- you know, we're seeing instances of people congregating in restaurants and outside. and we're cracking down on that as well. >> as you say, back when you issued the stay at home order i think you had something like 533 cases a day. now you're at roughly 900 cases a day. obviously it's going in the wrong direction. i know you want to go back to something draconian, but would you consider a stay at home order in miami again? >> all options have to be on the table. when we see the hospitalization goes up, our icu beds go up, our ventilators are going up, still with sufficient capacity, but going up. it's worrisome and there are some hospitals in dade county that are getti

in the city of miami the officials there can now fine people for not wearing masks in public and in miami-dade which accounts for 25% of all cases in the state of florida, they are sending teams to hot zones to educate the public about social distancing and also wearing masks. this as the state of florida reports two consecutive days of more than 5,000 cases her day, and this surge, according to officials, is due to young people out and about, not wearing masks and not social distancing and now we're seeing long lines of testing site. people going to the testing sites trying to figure out if they have this virus, and jim and poppy, we've talked about this multiple times. there are mixed messages being sent by leaders here locally. you've heard it from mayors. they want people to wear masks, and they are mandating masks. statewide governor ran desantis has not issued that order. jim and poppy. >> rosa, thanks a lot. >>> the president is digging n.sources tell cnn that it the president is aware that his handling of the pandemic is hurting his standing in the polls, but he seems unwilling to chan

the miami mayor is joining us now. thank you for joining us. and as you know, miami-dade county, palm beach county, the counties are home to a significant percentages of the people who tested positive for the virus. are you worried about becoming potentially the epicenter of the coronavirus here in the united states? >> we're extremely worried. to put those numbers in context, when we all put in stay at home orders, the high water mark was 1300 cases. as ewe mentioned, we had two consecutive day where is it was almost three times the high water mark from late march and early april. now it just in miami dooid county, we had 930 cases, which is very close to the high water mark at the state had when we implemented the stay at home order. it's incredibly concerning. we're starting to see the numbers tick up. we do know that a great majority of the positives are at the 18 to 35-year demographic. those people in that demographic go home and interact with parents, grandparents and that's a tremendous concern because it's a vulnerable population. >> e

miami-dade mayor jimenez announced yesterday there was an outbreak in south miami-dade. he says that there's an outbreak in farm workers there. they don't need hospitalizations but they need to isolate and they live in very close quarters. so the county is going to be offering hotel rooms to these individuals until they get better. and the city of miami mayor upping the ante saying not only does he want to require masks, he wants to impose civil fines. jim and poppy, but again, this is all done locally. at the state level, governor ron desantis saying he won't require masks statewide. >> hard to understand why. rosa, thanks. >>> joining us now to talk about this and the record number of cases also in texas, dr. shaw, the executive director of the harris county public health department, the third most populated county in the u.s., home to houston, which what they're seeing is down right scary. is it time for mask mandates everywhere? >> first of all, thanks for having me and yeah, this week the county executive judge issued requirements for masks in businesses and that's

joining me right now is miami mayor, francis suarez. what your hoping to hear from the florida governor ron de santis today? >> he's been supportive of our local efforts. we mandated masks last week. i recommend they do it statewide and all indications are that doing statewide could cut down on the number of new cases significantly. to me it's no different than saying everyone has to wear a seat belt. i under people want their freedom and certainly it's a decision whether you wear your seat belt or not but we should be able to make sure that people wear their seat belt just for their own safety so people wear masks for their own safety and safety of others. it's a measure that is easy to do. it can be inconvenient but easy to do and significantly, you know, significant improvement on the rates which today, we just hit a new record. over 2,000 new cases which is four times greater than what it was in late march. >> that has been the argument from those who oppose the idea of mandating a mask it impinges on their freedom. you are doing it
