>> okay. thanks. florida congresswoman frederica wilson claims when democrats toured a migrant detention center in south florida tuesday they were only permitted to see a single classroom, an empty dorm, along with supplies like soap and toothpaste. that's where the access ended. >> i asked to see the girls. there are 700 girls in this facility. i saw 30. when i tried to go into the dormitory that houses the girls, they said to me they were in intake, and it might be dangerous or contagious. >> there's also new fallout from that facebook group of current and former customs and border patrol agents who joked about the plight of migrants. in an exclusive interview, an agent claimed he heard a supervisor making fun of dead immigrants. >> he was making fun of them. >> reporter: saying what? >> that it's just another life. he made a comment also regarding running over illegals. i'm like, you cannot run over people. >> the u.s. border patrol chief says the words of those few individuals on that secret facebook page directly undermines the public's trust. a new cnn poll does show about three quarters of americans consider the situation at the border a crisis. that's up from less than half in january. president trump taking a direct shot at the supreme court days after it ruled the 2020 census cannot contain a citizenship question. the president tweeting it's a very sad time for america when the supreme court of the united states won't allow a question of is this person a citizen of the united states. he also vowed to keep fighting to add the question each though hours earlier the administration announced the citizenship question would not be on the 2020 census. it was commerce secretary wilbur ross who originally ordered the census bureau to add the question. yesterday he said the bureau would print the form without it despite his disagreement with the high court ruling. it's billed as a salute to america. but there are growing questions whether the president is planning a salute to trump. yesterday he claimed in a tweet that the pentagon and our great military leaders are thrilled to be participating in a military parade. also sources tell us the president's political allies received some of the 500 vip seats. those tickets will grant entry to the areas closest to the lincoln memorial where the president will speak. remember, the event is being held on the national mall, not a private space like the white house. so that's not sitting well with former defense secretary leon panetta. >> if the president does -- the president does a great deal of harm by politicizing this event. i think the military, frankly, we have always taken the position, those of us that have been involved with the military, that we don't have to display our power to anybody. we're the strongest military power on the face of the earth. we don't have to roll tanks down the street. we don't have to roll troops down the street because we know that we are strong, and we can take on any enemy. >> 900 members of the d.c. national guard have been called up to help with traffic and control the security. that's nearly triple the typical guard activation for the event. overnight the pentagon began delivering a pair of tanks to the national mall for a small stationary display of american military might. cnn's barbara starr with more from the pentagon. >> reporter: it will be a very different event for the u.s. military which generally has not participated in national july 4th events. expect to see the chairman of the joint chiefs general joseph dunford. he has been invited by the president to attend. other senior officers are expected to attend, as well. but the big issue, of course, is the u.s. military wants to stay out of partisan politics. and if president trump's remarks veer into those partisan politics, expect to see those senior officers stay very quiet and not react. they do not want to be part of a political event. so when people arrive on the national mall july 4th, what will they see in president trump's salute to america? there will be a flyover, some of the latest military aircraft, air force f-22s and f-35s. the plane that is used as air force one. the new marine one helicopter, the b-2 stealth bomber. there's also going to be a very small number of armored vehicles on the ground. dave, michelle?

kamala harris, the riser, up 13 points. what's your broad takeaway? were people supporting biden based on a memory and once they were faced with the actual biden they weren't so thrilled with what they saw? >> i think his support was more than just name i.d. i mean, there are many democratic primary voters who have known joe biden for a long time. i think they appreciate what he's done, including being vice president to president obama. i think there was -- it was deeper than name i.d. but it also is not an impenetrable lead that he has right now. i'm excited about this point in the race because we were so quick after the debate that we have to declare a winner within just a couple of minutes. now we know what some actual primary voters think. that's most important, particularly in iowa. and that's why the poll i think should be concerning for vice president biden because there's been movement including with senator harris and senators warren. but it should be concerning for senator bernie sanders who is dropping -- bernie sanders doesn't have the advantage of being the only one talking about his messages. like what he did in 2016. there are 10 or 12 candidates that are talking about his same issues. and i don't know that he can recover if he continues to lose support. >> i have to say, though, when you see these numbers shifting dramatically and it's kind of like, whoa, kamala harris, how much of this do you think is just the excitement over the new person who is strong going up against bide senior citizen and if this was all about that debate performance, how much do you think biden can turn it around in this performance about to happen with chris cuomo? >> reporter: michelle, are you exactly right. i think we still have a long way to go. we're going to have more twists and turns. i keep coming back to october -- september/october of 2015 when ben carson was surging in the polls. he was even with donald trump, even pulling ahead of donald trump in some national and some iowa polls. that was just a couple of months before iowa. carson finished fourth in iowa, barely registering in new hampshire. you know, i think there are going to be more candidates who have a surge or an opportunity. it's who can after you get a surge, can you build on that and kind of have a new foundation for your campaign. i think that's key for senators harris and warren right now. >> to the border, and shameful is what the conditions are according to the new york daily news. brutal pictures that we showed earlier. but the politics is interesting because the country does now feel this is a full-blown crisis. it is now three quarters of the country according to our own cnn polling that says people consider it a crisis. and the number i focused on is the democrats who have said it is. 70% of democrats said it's a crisis. up from 23% in january. now, that is for different reasons. democrats feel it's a crisis because of the humanitarian conditions at the border r. they vulnerable, the 2020 candidates, given that their stance now is decriminalizing border crossing and giving them health care? >> yeah. i've been trying to think a lot politically about what's amiss here. and i do think that the two parties are focused on different parts of the problem. democrats are going to those centers and facilities, they're trying to figure out how to improve the conditions. republicans in the white house are saying don't come at all. we shouldn't -- these people shouldn't be coming here at all. and i think both of those are problems. but i think the two parties are not willing to solve the -- you know, what the other side sees as an issue. that's where i think we're missing each other. moving forward to the general election for the presidential race, depending on the nominee, there's a potential for this to be a liability for democrats. if you're one of the candidates who said not only should we not have any new -- a new wall, there shouldn't be any wall or any barrier, we shouldn't criminalize or shouldn't penalize people who are coming across the border illegally. i think that is a potential liability for democrats. >> it issue not going away. good to see you, sir. have a happy 4th. >> happy 4th. if we haven't pumped c.c. enough, here's one more reminder. you don't want to miss former vice president joe biden sitting down with chris cuomo starting 6:00 a.m. here cnn. should be a fantastic interview. quality, hard work, commitment, the stuff america was made of. without them there is no future. >> lee iacocca has died. for decades he was one of america's best-known business executives. the former chrysler ceo is also a master pitchman, appearing in a series of tv commercials telling consumers, quote, if you can find a better car, buy it. he's also credited with saving the number-three automaker from bankruptcy in the 1980s which got him on the cover of "time" magazine. detroit's comeback kid. before that at ford, iacocca developed the iconic mustang. once asked about the secret to his success he said, i hire people brighter than me and then get out of the way. he's survived by two daughters and eight grandchildren. he was 94. i have to say like a young alex p. keaton who idolized iacocca. i was emotional when i saw this. the first autobiography i read was iacocca. sold millions of copies -- >> when he was like 6. >> the guy was 8 at the time. i recommend it. it's a terrific book. hopefully it rises on amazon. he was iconic. imagine developing the minivan and the mustang. two opposite ends of american culture really. >> i think he'd be proud -- >> he's a legend. >> look at that video. looks like he comes from another planet. that's how you know you're getting older. just the '80s. giving birth is painful enough. an epidural may help. imagine if the tube got lodged in your back, next. on a john deere x300 series mower. because seasons change but true character doesn't. wow, you've outdone yourself this time. hey, what're neighbors for?
