ayman? >> joe, we'll dig into that and more. don't go anywhere. you're sticking with me throughout the entire hour. we want to turn now to nbc's ellison barber in jacksonville, florida, kelly o'donnell at the white house for us. ellison, florida, again, setting a new record for coronavirus deaths, 132 in a single day, a grim picture playing out in florida. >> reporter: yeah, ayman. over 9,000 new confirmed cases of covid-19 in that same time frame. i spoke to a doctor at one of the hospitals in this area, and he told me while they're not seeing quite the exact same numbers as you have in south florida, in places like broward county, miami-dade, they're seeing the similar level of surge, the similar rise in cases and they say that it is starting to stretch their capabilities at hospitals here. where we are right now this is a federal testing site. it was set up about a week ago. it is free to anyone who wants to come here and get a test. you can see some of the people who were here driving in

>> hey, ayman. right now i'm standing in one of miami's oldest schools, and it's still not clear if these halls will have students in them next month. we could get a decision on that next week. but that lawsuit targets the governor's emergency order to reopen all schools across the state in person. i spoke to one of the plaintiffs in that suit and she told me part of the goal is to get the governor to pay attention. right now he's simply not listening to educators, and yesterday he held a press conference where he again pressured schools to reopen. today he tweeted saying that parents should have a choice between distance and in-person learning. so i sat down with three teachers here in miami. they have each decades of experience. they're also parents themselves. i want you to hear from seth patterson. he's been teaching for 17 years. he teaches music to elementary schoolchildren and here is his perspective on what the governor has been telling schools. take a listen. >> the first thing i did was ac

>> hey, ayman. so far state and local officials have been pretty tight-lipped about the negotiations that we know are under way between federal officials as well as the state governor, kate brown, according to senior administration officials talking about that to nbc. they're talking about potentially drawing back federal forces here, federal agents here from portland in exchange for local police filling the void, something that acting dhs secretary chad wolf told me repeatedly he wanted to see happen. now, we were out among some of the peaceful protesters last night getting their reaction to news of this ongoing negotiation. they were hesitant about it. remember, these protests began some three months ago in the wake of the death of george floyd. they're protesting police overreach. one pastor telling us, he said if a police force did come in to fill a void here outside the federal courthouse, he'd want it to be a diverse reflection within that police force of the community, well trained in dealing

ayman? >> sam brock kicking things off in miami. let's cross over to steve patterson in arizona. a state expected to hit the 100,000 case mark here. it took three months for arizona to hit 50,000 cases and just two weeks to add another 50,000. officials, obviously, taking this very seriously. what about residents there this morning? >> well, that's the life or death question, ayman. are people taking this seriously? that will determine the trajectory of the state moving forward. you can almost draw a line to this recent surge of cases directly to when the stay-at-home order ended on may 16th. since then there's been this incredible surge. 50,000 cases over the last two weeks. a lot of the blame officials are putting on people here were on people my age. 44 and younger. in may, they totaled about 40% of the positive cases. now they total about 60%. these are the same people we saw in images packing bars, nightclubs, restaurants, malls and now you get the sense broadly that even with these dra

>> good morn, ayman. democrats say that republicans are in disarray. that's not very far from the truth. senator mcconnell has been writing this -- when he trying to present it to his conference, there was a lot of disagreement in that meeting where represents left clearly frustrated and annoyed. we heard from -- we were told that senator ted cruz said, what the hell are we doing? we heard from fluorrand paul, who said it was like a meeting of the progressive caucus. so the reality is mcconnell has to weigh the different faxction in his conversation. he has to balance those who want more help for their states versus some conservatives saying, pump the brakes, stop. we don't need more money, especially a trillion. the white house is pushing for a payroll tax cut. they want less money for coronavirus testing. these are just some of the issues that republicans have to come to an agreement on before they can even start negotiating with democrats, especially as there's a strict deadline of next week when unemployment insurance cuts off for millions of ameri

>> the latter, ayman. we know the president has wanted to go full speed ahead, and with his rallies, with traveling around the country, getting back to schools and churches, this is his campaign has been a piece of that. he likes the rallies, he thrives off of them, they were a signature of his 2016 campaign, he's continued doing them as president regularly. and he really is -- his aides came to him and said we have to consider these other options. i think there is a recognition even by the president, it is hard to miss, that tulsa just did not go well, no matter how you look at it. they kind of convinced him in recent days that he needed to basically just switch it up and do something different and he does. when you're going to see tomorrow and new hampshire is the kind of event that he's done before at an airline hangar. it is not unusual for him to do that. it is partially indoor, outdoor and so they showed him images of that and he got on board. >> live for us at the white house, carol, thank you as al

. >> reporter: good morning, ayman. business owners here are really bracing for the financial impact of what it will mean to close or close partially for a second time. businesses here reopened in mid-may. and this new order is putting some restrictions on that is going to make it very difficult for that to keep their income and keep their employees the way that they have been. what these new restrictions say, basically, is that there is no in room dining at any restaurants that can have outdoor dining, but with restrictions. socially distant and only four in a party, no loud music. secondly, all the gyms must close again. again, also, the party venues, large banquets, large spaces that hold parties will be closed and airbnb short-term vacation rentals will also be suspended with this new order. that is a big impact for this area after reopening and seeing business start to come back. they are now going to have to regress and put the brakes on some to try and stop this spread and slow these numbers from coming. in on sa

and so, ayman, that's a look at what is happening here on the ground here in houston. i think it echoes a lot of what we're hearing across the state. back to you. >> all right, priscilla, you're sticking around for us throughout this hour. we'll get back to you in a moment. let's turn to nbc's steve patterson in scottsdale, arizona. good to talk to you again. cases in arizona expected to hit a new milestone today, unfortunately. what more can you tell us about that trend? >> reporter: much like where priscilla is in texas, the state of arizona is in an absolute free fall. it took three months for the state to reach 50,000 cases. it is only taking two weeks to reach that next milestone, currently we're at 98,000 cases, we're expected to reach the grim milestone of 100,000 cases today. so who is to blame? what is to blame? we have been looking at officials, local communities, the mayor of phoenix, heavily pointing the finger in a few different directions. one of them is at the governor of this state saying the tenor of the state has been set by this being one of the last
