i'm in for arthel neville. happy 4th of july. the president is set to host a salute to america tribute this evening in the nation's capital, following an event at moun mount rushmore last night. both celebrations coming under scrutiny with masks not required and social distancing not enforced. mark meredith is live at the white house with more on all of this. >> reporter: the white house is gearing up for a big celebration later on this afternoon for the 4th of july. the president and the first lady expected to welcome hundreds of family, friends, as well as white house staff. they're also extending the celebration to first responders, doctors and nurses, people that have been helping the country through the coronavirus with this salute to america event. last year you may remember that we saw that epic flyover over the national mall with the presidential 747 flying over the lincoln memorial. it was quite a sight a year ago. it's unclear how many aircraft we'll see fly over this year. one major change, though, the president will be delivering his remarks from the white house and not the lincoln memorial. the flyover begins around 6:45 tonight, goes for a little more than an hour. fireworks beginning in the 9:00 hour. some 10,000 fireworks are expected to launch and cloth face coverings will be made available. the government is encouraging people that may be coming out to bring their own in case they run out. they encourage people to practice social distancing. there will be flyovers happening in other cities up and do you understandown theeastern seaboa. it should be quite the sight later on tonight. i'm sure you'll be excited to see that in boston as well. >> what was the president's message last night out there at mount rushmore? >> reporter: he had a chance to praise american presidents like george washington, abraham lincoln, he took a special note of some of the american historical events that have happened over the last several hundred years. it was interesting as we saw the president call out cancel culture, saying what he feels has been inappropriate these last several weeks. here's a clip of what he had to say last night. >> i have no idea why they're doing this but some know exactly what they are doing. >> reporter: a number of protesters showed up not too far from the president's remarks to make their voices heard. you can see the demonstrations right there. some native americans have called for mount rushmore to be torn down, saying it's an insult to have it in their backyard. there's a possibility for protests in washington, d.c. later on today. security at the white house remains very tight. i was amazed to see how much roadblocks were put in place as we came into the white house to get to work. lafayette park is still shut down, no access of to the public. security certainly tight here. as is the tradition for the 4th of july but it seems tighterrer thatighter thank yea. >> thank you. president trump will be kicking off his salute to america from our nation's capital tonight. you can watch it here on the fox news channel, several coverage kicks off at 6:00 p.m. eastern with jon scott on the fox report. eric: we'll be looking forward to that meanwhile, our country is reporting more than 53,000 new you coronavirus cases just yesterday. experts say it's not due to increased testing but a percentage increase that continues to rise. infections spiking across the country, officials in arizona reporting more than 2600 new cases there along with a spike in hospitalizations and emergency room visits. several other states also seeing a significant rise we're told in new cases such as florida, south carolina, texas. christina coleman following all of this and has a wrap-up from our west coast bureau. >> reporter: in the past three days the u.s. has seen record-setting numbers, more than 50,000 new confirmed cases daily. the majority of the new infections are in the four hard-hit states of california, texas, arizona and florida where hospitalizations are also up. there's alarming numbers out of florida right now, as of today florida's cases increased by a record 11,458. this is the second time in three days that its case load rose by more than 10,000. 585 people have been hospitalized since yesterday. florida seeing a total of more than 190,000 cases with just over 3700 deaths. hard-hit miami-dade county representing nearly a third of the state's total deaths, reporting a single day high today. mask mandates are enacted across florida in miami-dade county and broward county, people can now be fined for not wearing a face covering. there's a ramped-up push to wear them. unlike florida, california has a state-wide mask mandate in place. >> we are seeing about 56% increase in hospitalizations in california in my area, about 200 new cases each day in alameda county, one of the largest counties in northern california. it's not that we're increasing the testing. of course, we're increasing the testing. the positive rate of people -- the rate of people testing positive is going up, that's what's most concerning. >> reporter: and in arizona the new peak in hospitalizations because of covid-19 illnesses has intensive care units there at 91% capacity. a growing concern for public health officials. eric. eric: christina, that really is alarming. officials have new advice and more advice for us to stay safe during the 4th of july. no matter who you're with, such as wearing masks and stuff. >> some people think if they have an extended family member over or a couple of them this holiday, maybe a couple neighbors or friends, they'll be safe. health officials say that's not the case. here's dr. jeanette nesheiwat on "fox & friends" this morning. >> try to avoid large crowds and clusters. that's how the virus jumps from person to person, through talking, sneezing, it gets into the air and gets another person's eyes, nose, their throat. >> health officials are also encouraging people to avoid traveling to covid-19 hot spots, areas where there are known outbreaks like in parts of arizona, florida, and here in california. eric. eric: one advice toys keep your social group to a minimum, a small group so that it doesn't expand out to strangers and people you don't know and see what type of precaution this may or of they may not be taking. christina coleman in los angeles for us. chris dina, good to -- christina, good to see you. >> it's going to be a very different 4th of july because of the pandemic. many beaches across the country are closed, big fireworks shows and cookouts also not taking place. americans, though, are adapting and finding their own ways to celebrate our nation's freedoms. aishah hasnie is in new york city with more on the holiday changes. aishah. >> reporter: hi, there, molly. so the parades, the barbecues, the fireworks displays in some cities across the country have been canceled, unfortunately, because of coronavirus. but a lot of cities are trying to find a balance to ensure that people are going to have fun and then also stay safe, including right here in new york city where the big macy's fireworks show has now been split up into smaller five minute pop-up shows happening across the city in an effort to prevent people from crowding in one place. over in chicago, police are patrolling as beaches there are closed for the holiday weekend. unfortunately, we heard from local reports there, there was crowding at a popular boat party there on friday and in florida where a record number of people tested positive for coronavirus, orlando canceled its fireworks display and beaches like miami beach are now closed with even more restrictions in miami-dade county. >> we have issued a 10:00 curfew from now until further notice. we put restrictions on pools, hotel pools and pools in condominiums to try to restrict the number of people that go in pools and are celebrating the fourth and as you said, our beaches are closed from now until -- through the sixth, through the holiday week. >> reporter: now, there are concerns that without the public displays, folks will hold private fireworks displays instead. that could spread the virus even further. the national fireworks association says a record number of people are buying fireworks for personal use this year and health experts are extremely worried about the gatherings that people are going to have. they fear that people will not be wearing the masks, will not be social distancing, especially if grandparents, elderly and families are seeing their grandchildren, the younger people in their families for the first time this year. molly. >> aishah hasnie, thank you so much for joining us from new york city with an update. we appreciate it. eric: three colorado police officers have been fired, another resigned after there was a photo that they said supposedly showed a reenactment of the chokehold that was used on elijah mcclain, a 23-year-old young man who died while in police custody when he was stopped last year in a denver suburb. matt murrow has more. >> it shows a lack of morals, values and integrity and a judgment that i can no longer trust to allow them to wear this badge. >> reporter: the four officers were fired and another quit, they told internal affairs investigators that the pictures they're in were meant to cheer up a friend and fellow officer who was involved in the original elijah mcclain incident last summer. one said i dishiengt thin thinkg thing. joans is the officer that -- jones is the officer that simulated the hold. jones told investigators, i tried to make light of a situation to try and help cheer him up. it's not my intention at all to cause harm. dietrich is the officer who took the photo and needed a tissue during his interview where he said it's incredibly poor taste. i'm crawling on the mercy of the department and the chief. i don't know what i'm going to do without this job. i deeply regret doing what i did. one of those officers texted the picture to jason rosenblatt, another officer on the mcclain call. he said the photo made me very anxious, uncomfortable and i wanted it to go away. he was fired for responding to it in a group text, ha ha. >> and replied with an inappropriate comment of ha ha. there was absolutely nothing funny about this. it is a crime against humanity and decency. >> jeffrey epstein's long time confidant arrested and facing charges after spending months on the run. why it could be a major turning point in the case. as the nation grapples with the spike in coronavirus cases, there's lots of uncertainty over how schools will operate in the fall so how can we get kids back into those classrooms safe sunny we will discuss -- of safely. we will discuss as our coverage this 4th of july weekend continues after this. mornings were made for better things than rheumatoid arthritis. when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz a pill for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis when methotrexate has not helped enough. xeljanz can reduce pain, swelling, and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections like tb and do blood tests. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b or c, have flu-like symptoms, or are prone to infections. serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. tears in the stomach or intestines and serious allergic reactions have happened. don't let another morning go by without asking your doctor about the pill first prescribed for ra more than seven years ago. xeljanz. iredefined the wordng th'school' this year. it's why, at xfinity, we're committed to helping kids keep learning

hearts of police officers and all those who know the passion with which he loved his family and served his community. investigators saying it happened early this morning at a home depot parking lot when officer dio was responding to a disturbance call. witnesses telling police the gunman may have been intoxicated when he fired at officer dio. he went into the woods nearby and was later found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. the officer was 57 years old. >> maxwell intiesed minor girls, got them to trust her and delivered them into the trap that she and epstein set for them. eric: that was acting u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york, audrey strauss, talking about the arrest of gil gil gil ghilane m. she was arrested in a million dollar rural ne new hampshire h, nearly one year after epstein killed himself in a new york city federal jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. it's an ex clos explosive case. leah, do we know what information she has, what she could say to authorities and will she be willing to trade whatever she has for maybe a possible plea deal or something. >> we flow she was jeffrey epstein's right-hand man in this alleged crime so she would presumably have a lot of information on the crimes. she could cooperate in the case. prosecutors left that door wide open. she could provide pertinent information about some of the other men who may be accused of partaking in the sex crime, including her long-time friend prince andrew who vehemently denied the claims. eric: there has been in connection with this case a string of prominent names, prince andrew, former president bill clinton, of course, he apparently flying four times on epstein's private jet, according to to his spokesman that he had gone to the island that epstein owned. president trump before he became president knew him. what do we make of all this? do you think this is something the authorities will be asking her about? >> absolutely. i think that this is just the tip of the iceberg. i think we're going to be seeing a lot more criminal charges coming. i wouldn't be surprised in the coming weeks if we see superseding indictments charging some of the other players in this case. eric: take a look at the new york post headline. when this happened, epstein, there's controversy whether he killed himself or not. it was ruled it was suicide. the front page of the new york post, now keep her alive. fears and concerns that perhaps something could happen to her before the secrets get out. why is it significant for the public corruption unit of the u.s. attorney's office of the southern district being involved in this, not just sex crimes, but public corruption, what's that about? >> that's an unusual move by federal prosecutors that the corruption unit is taking on the case. usually you see the organized crime unit involved with cases involving sex trafficking such as this one. it could mean they plan to bring charges on public officials on corruption charges or other as well. we just don't know. eric: she has been apparently implicated in some of these sex crimes. here is a woman we are not identifying who claims she was abused by ebb stey -- epstein ay ms. maxwell. let's take a listen. >> she is just as evil as jeffrey epstein, what everybody has painted him to be. ms. maxwell was his business partner in this. she did this to many girls. she was a part of it and jeffrey epstein was a part of it and i was drugged, gang raped and left on the lawn and they put a gun to me and the man that drove me home said i would never come back alive if i spoke about it. eric: do we know what all this was about, ms. maxwell's father, robert maxwell, was the late tycoon publisher who apparently went bankrupt, he drowned off the stern of his yacht. i knew him. he was a wild character, a lot of allegations concerning him and spying and this sort of thing. is there more to this, do we know, that has come out? >> well, we do know that prosecutors are alleging that she took part in some of the sexual abuse herself. she would go and recruit some of these women at their schools or elsewhere. she would befriend them, make them feel comfortable, take them out to the movies, shopping sprees and she would -- what prosecutors said normalize the sexual abuse by either dressing -- undressing in front of them or coming in as they were stripping in an attempt to normalize the sexual abuse. eric: and finally, leah, it's been reported and a security source told me before epstein was arrested, claiming that what he was operating was an international blackmail operation, that he supposedly taped men with these young women in the mansion here on the upper east side of manhattan and the island, and this was part of an alleged shakedown blackmail international on of presentation to do that. has -- operation to do that. has there been public revelations of that from prosecutors, any indication from law enforcement, that not being confirmed, local police in florida say they apparently found small cameras in his residence there. any indication of what epstein may have been running if it was at all in any way an international blackmail operation in exchange for money, for payments or for policy support? >> look, there are many conspiracy theories flying around here. what we know from former employees who worked on jeffrey epstein's virgin island that he did keep cameras on the premises. we don't know what he was recording. a lot of the young women frequented these islands with epstein on his jet. i guess we'll have to wait and see. eric: yes, we'll see if indeed -- no indication that authorities have any of these type of tapes if they do exist but it will likely all come out at some point. leah from the new york post, thank you. good to see you. >> thanks for having me. eric: molly. molly: the washington redskins announcing a thorough review of its name, which is considered a derogatory term by native americans, the nfl team finding itself under renewed scrutiny in the wake of nationwide protests against racism. garrett tenney has more from washington. >> reporter: likely the biggest of the potential changes is the nfl's washington redskins which has been under pressure for years to change their name. that pressure has never been greater than it is right now, though. and on friday the team released a statement saying in light of recent events around our country, and feedback from our community, the washington redskins are announcing the team will undergo a thorough review of the team's name. we believe this review can and will be conducted with the best interest of all in mind. that is significant, given that current owner dan snyder has long resisted calls to even consider changing the team's name. back in 2013, snyder told usa today we will never change the name, it's that simple. never. you can use caps. but this week the public pressure was joined by financial pressure with several prominent sponsors calls on the team to change its name including nike, pepsi, and fed ex whose ceo is also the minority owner of the redskins. maryland senator ben carden says it's about time. >> my goodness. we're very proud to have the team in maryland. but quite frankly, it's just amazing that it's taken them this long to recognize that name needs to go. >> reporter: the redskins aren't alone. the cleveland indians have also announced they're having discussions about the team's name, saying the recent social unrest across the country underscored the need to improve on issues of social justice. the growing pressure to change controversial names and mascots isn't just impacting professional sports. we're seeing the same thing play out on the local level at school districts across the country. in washington, i'm garrett tenney, fox news. molly: and we just want to correct a story we just aired. the toledo e ohio officer killed in the line of duty, anthony dia, was 26 years old. the city's police chief says he leaves behind a wife and 2-year-old child. eric. eric: such a tragedy, molly, a reminder of the bravery and occurrincourage of what so manys do when they're on the line of duty protecting us in our country. our of heart felt condolences to the family and the department there. meanwhile, children and parents are trying their best to enjoy an anything but normal summer. school districts across the country debating where and how kids should learn come this fall. will they be back in the classroom? is it too early to consider that? is that net carbs or total?... eh, not enough fiber... chocolate would be good... snacking should be sweet and simple. the delicious taste of glucerna gives you the sweetness you crave while helping you manage your blood sugar. with nutrients to help support immune health. are you currently using a whitening toothpaste,p but not seeing

quote today. molly: as children do their absolute best to enjoy an anything but normal summer, many parents are looking ahead to the school year. the department of education has not provided any mandates or guidance on where and how kids should be learning when the fall arrives. but we are hearing from some leading educational and pediatric groups. joining me to talk about this as we do inch swiftly through the summer here, tara hailey, a medical reporter and contributor for forbes magazine. tara, thank you for joining us. happy 4th of july. >> thank you. happy fourth to you as well. molly: this is definitely a talker among just about any parents that you speak to that has a school-aged child. what is going to happen in the small? it may very well depend on where you live. should it depend on what the numbers are saying, the metrics, regarding given covid cases in a specific area? >> absolutely. all of the organizations that have weighed in such as the american pediatrics, american federation of teachers, national education association, all of them have said we need to look at what the cases are in the area. this is not the kind of thing you can have a federal guideline for. states are going to have to make the decision within their own borders and possibly within county borders. i live in the state of texas. with me being in the dallas area, the situation might be different here than it might be in the panhandle or west texas. you're going to have to look at the transition in your area and use that as a guide. otherwise, you'll make a decision for the whole country, you don't want to risk shutting everything down. that's not sustainable of. we can't afford to have transmission happening in the school. it needs to be geographically determined. molly: some of the experts are agreeing on that issue. dr. fauci says it depends on where you live. south carolina epidemiologist linda bell when asked will you send kids back in the fall, saying yes. former cdc director, david s ature, it depends what arrangements were made. another said i believe the process of socialization is important and long-term deprivation of that is probably going to do more harm than the occasional child becoming infected. which brings us to another issue. how important is it that kids are physically in the classroom, able to interact with their teachers of course, get that one on one time but also just with their peers? >> there's no question, that schools are utterly essential for social development. it's not just educational development it's also their social development, their mental health, their physical health, having physical education and being led into activities. it's also important for parents' mental health and for the economy. we don't think of schools as the backbone of our economy. but if children aren't in school, everything grinds to a halt. that's not good for children either, especially children who rely on schools for nutrition. so schools are a vital part of this entire need to get back to some semblance of normal. molly: the point about nutrition, some of the services that scoodz schools provide, students that have needs, if you're not in the school you may not get the needs met. a variety of pediatric groups have taken a stand on this issue, aap says strongly encourages in person learning, the national education association, the decision to reopen buildings must be rooted in health and safety. a number of pediatric groups brought up the recommendations. are you concerned as we hit the fall and schools reopen and some children do head back, there will be pauses to deal with covid cases that may pop up? will we see stops for cleaning? or will we see a transition that's a little more smooth or does it depend? >> it's going to depend. i think some stops in certain areas are inevitable. i'm in texas. places like texas, california, florida, arizona, places where there are rising cases right now, we might have to be prepared to of have interruptions periodically. what those are going to look like is going to depend. i know various state agencies and districts are trying to plan for contingencies and have options available. other states such as illinois for example, where the lowest case count is, they might have an easier time. it's going to depend what the local areas are. i think the key here is everyone's going to have to be flexible. that's really hard. uncertainty is not something that humans deal with well, especially parents and kids. we have to be adaptable. molly: flexibility helps a lot when you're a parent. appreciate your insight. great talking to you. >> thank you. molly: eric. eric: molly, amusement parks across the country, they're working to rebound after the coronavirus caused roughly a three month shutdown for them. several precautions are being put in place to try to keep folks safe. hunter davis has more from arlington, texas. >> wear your mask, wash your hands, cover your cough, sanitize often and have fun. >> reporter: amusement parks across the country working to find their new normal after covid-19 took them on a ride. >> almost all the theme parks are requiring masks, taking your temperature when you come in, social distancing. >> reporter: amusement parks closed for months. as of july 1st more than half have reopened. all of the parks are taking precautions. rising infections forced 17 states to reconsider opening plans. parks in texas remain open and amusement park hub florida is moving forward with scheduled open. >> universal's open. seaworld is open and disney has planned to open. they're opening july 11th. >> reporter: six flags opened nine of the 13 u.s. locations using a reservation only system. the parks are operating at less than 50% capacity. before guests enter the park they go through a thermal imaging tunnel, using equipment to identify anybody with a temperature over 100.4. guests also go through a contactless security screening and have hand sanitizing stations and enforce social distancing guidelines in the park. all rides are going through a sanitizing process between each ride cycle. >> we have a team that goes in and sanitizes the seats. the ride is sent off and then before someone can objecting knee ride again, -- occupy the ride again, it will have gone through the sanitization process. >> reporter: six flags working with experts as they continue to monitor the coronavirus as its parks. >> we're going to continue to monitor and see what is best for our operation. at the end of the day, we're going to do whatever is safe. >> reporter: six flags has at least one more park scheduled to reopen by july 4th, leaving only four parks waiting for the green light. in arres

national poll. this comes as the biden campaign say they outraised president trump's campaign and the republican national committee for a second month in a row. jacqui heinrich is live in new york city with the latest news on the presidential race. hi, jacqui. >> reporter: hi, eric. both president trump and former vice president joe biden used their independence day remarks to discuss recent civil unrest but with very different tones and messaging. president trump at mount rush more galvanized his base, warning against a campaign from the radical left intent on wiping out history and ending america in pursuit of fascism. he portrayed himself as the leader who deliver the country from the threat. biden's message discussed the unrest stemming from george floyd's death as one of many challenges the country faced against system racism. >> we have a chance now to give the marginalized, the demonized, the isolated, the oppressed a full share of the american dream. we have the chance to rip the roots of systemic racism out of the country. we have a chance to live up to the words that founded the nation. >> reporter: former president barack obama retweeted biden's message calling on people to do whatever they can to help joe biden. biden's remarks did not mention president trump directly but he took direct shots at the president in a scathing nbc op ed writing the pursuit of a more perfect union has been thrown off course in recent years and no one bears more responsibility than president trump. every day he finds new ways to tarnish and dismantle our democracy from baseless attacks on or voting rights to the use of military force against americans, protesting peacefully for racial justice. biden promised to reverse several trump policies including family separation at the border and the travel ban. biden headed into july 4th weekend on a high after a new poll shows him leading president trump by 12 points. and biden increased his lead in every poll since march. the biden campaign claims they have out-raised trump and the rnc in both the months of of may and also in june. eric. eric: jacqui, thanks so much. molly. molly: election day hard to

well, as you were saying, we founded uniteusa.org. we welcome anyone who is interested in submitting a picture of your loved one or if you're a veteran yourself, send us your picture and we're going to include it in a virtual parade to honor you. because, you know, we celebrate the 4th of july to celebrate our independence and our freedom but we're -- we also honor and want to celebrate the men and women who have fought to keep it that way. >> exactly. exactly. because you think about it. you know, the bible says greater love has no man than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. every veteran or fallen hero was willing to do that. the least we can do is set aside some time, whether we've been singing for big veterans events or having one on one conversations, we have experienced what it's like to see veterans tear up, just to be thanked. and by doing our parade, it's been pretty emotional because we've had such an amazing response. people can send their pictures of loved ones to unit unitetheusa.org. so i remember one time i was singing at a veteran's event and president trump was there and -- but the magnitude of appreciation in the opposite direction, from veterans just to be thanked, i cannot tell you how profound it is. so -- >> it's important to do our part. >> yes, every single one of them. >> now is the time to do something. this is the year, 2020,
