These three states are considered hot spots. You can see the number of new cases reported in each state. Arizona more than 3,500, texas more than 5,700, and florida close to 10,000 new cases. That number does follow an increase in testing but the percentage of positive tests have been steadily growing. Lets now take a look at california, the number of confirmed cases stands at 206,000 up by almost 6,000 within the last 36 hours. The u. S. Now surpassing 2. 5 million cases.

Its time to bring in chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of meet the press. Good morning and thank you for joining us. California has a budget hole of 54 billion courtesy of the tax dollars lost from covid19 shelter in place order. How do you see congress dealing with this problem which impacts virtually every state . If so, when . It is going to impact every state. Were seeing the rising cases, for instance, in the state of florida. Florida doesnt have any state income tax. They have to get their revenue from visitors. You go and visit orlando to go to disneyworld and get your hotel, rental, and theyre not getting that revenue. Every state is feeling this revenue pinch whether they collect revenues via sales tax, user fees, or state income taxes. The question is going to be how does congress handle this now . It will be fighting tooth and nail for every dollar in every state. There are some concerns the president may play red state blue state politics here. With this new surge and where were headed on the curve nationally i think you may see a more generous congress and i think there will be a little more state aid because theres a sense of urgency again. And looking ahead with respect to the november 3rd president ial election, some show challenger joe biden ahead. Should biden win, what are the chances republicans will be able to hold the senate . I think its obviously possible for republicans to hold the senate if biden wins. It is hard to see how that happens. There are so many Key Senate Races that are taking place in president ial battleground states. Ditto in maine, ditto in North Carolina, iowa. You have quite a few theres two of them in georgia. Quite a few seats in the president ial battlegrounds and it does seem as if the presidency goes, so goes the control of the United States senate. Thank you for joining us, chuck.

Families of inmates are pleading for something to change. Reporter there are no easy nights for a mother with a son in prison.

Reporter her son called this morning saying he got tested for the virus and was awaiting results. Shes very concerned because i think the people are getting sick and theyre going up and going up. Reporter on june 12th the prison had 16 active covid cases. Today more than 450 inmates have tested positive along with at least 47 staff. A lot of worries and im pretty sure im not the only one. Reporter activists say the prison was covid free until a transfer from chino last month where there were 13 cases. A group of doctors said itneble the virus because of overcrowding and insufficient medical staff. I knew it was a matter of time. Reporter none comes as a surprise to john johnson who was released at the end of april as the pandemic began to spread through the prison system. We know they had the conditions that if a case of covid19 came there, it would spread like wildfires. Reporter a Spokesman Says it has tested 1,300 of the 3,200 in san quentin, five times the state and National Testing rates. Activists want the state to reduce the prison population by half. But as the numbers continue to grow there are more sleepless nights ahead for a mother. Joe rosato jr. , nbc bay area news. We have an update now from san quentin.

San quentin had zero cases through march and april and now has spread to more than 600 prisoners and staff. During a town hall zoom meeting inmates said there doesnt seem to be a plan to curb the outbreak. I think everybody has a very high level of anxiety right now because theres not a lot of information about whats going to happen or how this will get better. Many activists and inmates want Early Release near the end of their sentence. Much more ahead on today in the bay.

The suit alleges officers violated a residents civil rights when he made a late night trip to get a doughnut. Senior investigator steven stalk found that the officer has been the focus of several use of force incidents in the past. Reporter only weeks after the fbis Civil Rights Division out of oakland is investigating the officers who pulled another resident from his home over a suspended drivers license and we learned that the local d. A. Is reconsidering criminal charges in the case as well. This video is at the center of the latest civil rights lawsuit just filed against palo altos Police Department. On the left is store Surveillance Video from happy donuts. On the right newly released Body Worn Camera footage. Julio can be seen going to the store late at night to get his son a doughnut in july 2019 when hes confronted by Palo Alto Police officer. I should have just stayed home. Reporter he tells us he doesnt remember anything from that night but the video shows him attempting to walk away from the agent. Am i being detained . Yeah, you are. Reporter as the officer tells him hes being detained because hes on probation. The video shows him being pushed against the fence. As he holds on to the fence, hes slammed to the ground in what the officers report calls a left armbar takedown. It shows him going limp as his head hits the concrete. He was taken to the emergency room where doctors diagnosed him with a fractured orbital bone. In the video theres a bag of doughnuts flying when he grabs him. Reporter the agent said he thought he saw a Drug Exchange though the video doesnt appear to show it. Police forwarded the case to the d. A. s office for review of charges, resisting arrest, battery on a peace officer. He hasnt been charged with anything. The best thing we can continue to do to try to deter that behavior is to keep filing these lawsuits. Reporter cody salfen filed a lawsuit on arevalos behalf. In terms of the lawsuit you have to hope that at some point perhaps at least one peace officer or two peace officers, not just in that agency but other agencies will look at that and say i dont want to be that officer on the news. Come on out or well kick the door in. Do you have a warrant . We dont need one. Come on out. Reporter thats also the same agent yelling in this 2018 video captured on another residents Home Security camera. The video shows Police Officers pull alvarez out of his home over suspicions that he had been driving with a suspended license, all charges that were later dropped. The video also shows that police sar general, the supervisor on the scene, slamming alvarezs head into the cars windshield. You think youre a tough guy, huh . Reporter and now the fbi is investigating palo alto p. D. As well. Documents from last fall show federal civil rights investigators requested the entire alvarez case file. I think that having the fbi essentially watching over this case is going to send a message to other officers that their buddy who happens to be assigned to internal affairs isnt the only person thats scrutinizing their unlawful conduct going forward. I will hold this team accountable when necessary and i want the community to continue to hold us accountable. Reporter appearing before palo alto just before the covid outbreak chief Robert Johnson promised transparency while some angry residents expressed their frustration with the Police Department. This is unacceptable. We cannot get better unless we get out of denial. Reporter but Chief Johnson continues to refuse to answer any questions from nbc bay area about either of these cases. And it took more than ten months to release the Body Worn Camera footage. The case was not completed for more than five months after we started asking questions. Got into a fight here earlier. Reporter in the use of force report he told investigators he had been in a fight earlier with the agent. The report stated december 11, 2019, the force appeared, quote, reasonable and within policy. But it also found discrepancies between the report and the video that supervisors say warranted further investigation. Im not naive to fact that we have been subject to very serious allegations over the past year. I want to assure you this we take these seriously and misconduct will not be tolerated. Reporter so far despite numerous requests, they have yet to release the results of that further investigation. Im stephen sotock nbc bay area news. Visit our website, nbcbayarea. Com investigations.
