Cover. This is all because strong storms are moving through the area right now. 600,000 people are expected on the mall for tonights fireworks. Sunlen serfaty is there. This escalated really quickly. What are they doing . Reporter it certainly did. The park Police Responded as to how bad these storms could get. They are telling people to seek shelter. All the folks out on the National Mall getting ready later tonight to enjoy the fireworks. As you said the west front of the Capitol Building has been evacuated and the u. S. Parks police have activated something called Operation Safe haven. Thats when they open up the doors to all these closed museums and even federal buildings like the irs that line the National Mall so people can have a safe place to seek comfort and ride out this storm. We also know the white house has changed some of their plans for tonights fourth of july festivities. The president was to speak in a little over an hour on the south lawn of the white house. That picnic a barbecue with military members and their families that has been canceled due to all this weather concern. We know the president will likely speak later tonight at a second event with the singer bruno mars who is to perform. As of now, we know from the National Park service the fireworks will still go on. It is expected that these storms will blow through. Thats little comfort to all these people scrambling for shelter right now. Keep us posted. I hope it passes quickly. Amid all of this already heightened security presence in washington and in cities across america, for this fourth of july holiday, the fbi and department of Homeland Security telling people to be very vigilant. I want to note no specific threat has been identified for this holiday. Thats what Law Enforcement says. The Police Departments across the nation are increasing security. Embassies and consulates around the globe briefing their security teams. Lets talk about all of it with tom fuentes, cnn Law Enforcement analyst and former fbi assistant director. Tom, thank you for being here. You say what is different now is that there is quote, no need for permission control or coordination by terrorists. What do you mean in terms of how the threat has changed . The threats changed because before especially under osama bin laden, he micromanaged the attacks so it rerdquired a lot of communication. He handpicked the 9 11 hijackers, oversaw their training oversaw the financing of them. It required a lot of communication back and forth between al qaeda central and the terrorists that were out going to Flight Training and the Bank Financing that went into keeping them in flight schools and their travel. So there was a lot of communication for the authorities to hear the socalled chatter. Now theres not that back and forth. Isis command or their media center puts out the word okay go kill. Its ramadan, go kill and you will get extra points in heaven if you do it during ramadan which started about a week and a half ago and goes until july 17th. So its not really related to our fourth of july holiday. But they put the word out to everybody, go do it. And thats it. Theres no need to well should we go today or tomorrow or what. They just go when theyre ready to go. I want your reaction to what former cia Deputy Director mike morel said this week on cbs. Listen. I dont want to tell americans what to do or what not to do. But i wouldnt be surprised if were sitting here a week from today talking about an attack over the weekend in the United States. Thats how serious this is. Tom, that shocked a lot of us saying i wouldnt be surprised if were sitting here talking about an attack over the weekend. Do you think that thats overblown at all . I do. Frankly, i do. Because i think that we can say that every day of the week from now and possibly for the rest of our lives because i dont see how we are going to turn off this internet machine that isis has on. I dont know how were going to turn off the brains that absorb it and get spun up and get recruited and radicalized to go do it. Its almost like theyre zombies not on a particular timeline. If you look at the attack in boston a month ago, the fbi was wiretapping a guy and he was going to go with his partner to new york and cut off Pamela Gellers head at some point in the future. A week or two later he ordered knives online. The fbi learned that. 5 00 a. M. The day he dies he calls his partner, said i cant wait im going out today, the boys in blue are out there, im going to go out today and get one. And the fbi intercepted something that morning. There was no logic as to why in his mind he had to launch that attack right that minute. They had to keep him from getting on a bus. Thats why they scrambled and intercepted him at a street corner. He pulled his knife and they ended up shooting him dead. The new york plot that was just uncovered a week or two ago, same thing. They were trying to figure out how to make Pressure Cooker bombs and do an attack then. It wasnt related to fourth of july. Its just part of the every day isis drumbeat, go kill. I dont know when thats going to stop how were going to stop it how were going to stop people from listening to it. It is very troubling situation but i have been seeing a lot of new yorkers in brooklyn and manhattan getting ready to go out to these big festivities, and live their lives because thats what they have to do. But at a heightened state of awareness, right . Right. Exactly. Be aware but go ahead. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Tom, thanks so much. Appreciate it. Have a really nice fourth. Lets turn to politics now. A question that is certainly making the rounds. Have Donald Trumps comments calling latin immigrants racists and killers hurt his party . 2012 republican president ial candidate mitt romney told cnn yes, those comments have hurt the party. George pataki calling on other hopefuls to publicly denounce what trump is saying. Trump is not backing down. He told fox news this morning that too many gop leaders are weak on immigration. Well i know pataki well and hes a sad figure. Hes got zero in the polls and he was a terrible governor of new york. Terrible. If he would have run again, i mean he would have failed he wouldnt have gotten anything. So he was a failed governor. And you know as far as rubio, hes very weak on immigration and ive been saying that for a long time about him. Hes weak on immigration. I respect ted cruz for the view that hes got. He was really out there and strong on it and i shouldnt say this because i assume hes an opponent but the fact is he was very brave in coming out, and you know when i look at somebody like perry, who was the governor there for a long period of time he could have done something a little bit, maybe a lot more in terms of protecting people because again, the crime is rampant. This isnt a mexico thing. I have great relations with mexico and i love the mexican people and the spirit of the mexican people. These are people just pouring across the border and you know it involves more than just border. It involves trade, everything we do in this country is just off. Our trade deals are terrible. Our Border Protection is terrible. Our security is terrible. You look at what isis is doing to us, they are laughing at us. You know do we have victories anymore in our country . The answer is really no. Cnn senior digital Political Correspondent chris moody with me now. You spent the day with trump recently. Look this is not someone who ever holds back from saying whats on his mind but at what point do you think that this becomes a severe headache for his party . I think its already a pretty bad headache maybe not a migraine. Earlier this week i talked to a number of republicans and conservatives whose main goal is to outreach to latinos. The National Republican party has spent millions of dollars doing outreach to minorities and also outside conservative groups are fanning out across the country putting field staff in southwestern states and in florida and texas, trying to convince latinos that they should join the gop or embrace conservative values. When they see someone like donald trump who has the big r next to his name come out and say things like this in this tone and this manner that really sets back those efforts. And who is polling so well. Yeah. Hes polling in second in not just iowa and New Hampshire but nationwide. I would attribute part of that to his just name i. D. Hes got the shows, people know donald trump and at this point in an election you say what name youve heard of. Rudy giuliani was doing very well in 2007. We know how that worked out. I spent the day with a number of his supporters last week in New Hampshire, asked whats the appeal why do you like donald trump. He says he says the thing thats on his mind and the thing that i believe as well and no one else is saying those things. People love donald trump for the exact same reason other people do not love donald trump. At what point do they want actual solutions, because you heard in that bit of the interview him saying basically this country doesnt do anything right and im going to change that. He did say he would build a huge wall between the u. S. And mexico and he would make the Mexican Government pay for it. Other than that we havent heard a lot of solutions to what he would change. I dont know if donald trump is going to change his strategy until he stops getting Media Attention for it. Also the debates are coming up in just about a month. Hes going to obviously try to make it to that point. Thats really a real benchmark. Whats very interesting is hes going to be knocking off a number of other candidates that dont make the cut, because they dont poll as well. Now, i asked him about that, too, what about that. He said im far more accomplished than they are and they dont deserve to be on the stage, i do. Cnn will have two debates where we are going to have sort of those in the top of the poll and also a lot of voices will be heard. Talk about the business side of this. He also spoke in this interview with fox news about nascar being the latest business that hes affiliated with to cut ties because of his comments. They canceled the postseason banquet in miami. He said frankly he was a bit surprised to hear that because he thought he had so many fans within nascar. Lets roll that. You know i knew it was going to be bad because i was told this. All my life i have been told this. You are successful you dont run for office. I understood i didnt know it was going to be quite this severe but i really knew it was going to be bad. Im very surprised at nascar because i have so many fans in nascar and i love the nascar people. And im a little surprised at nascar to be honest with you. But you know i have properties in the best locations. The property youre talking about in the case of nascar is Trump National doral which is probably one of the top resorts in the world, and if they dont go, somebody else goes. Its not a big deal. But i will say that i was quite surprised by nascar because these are people that want to stop illegal immigration, they dont want to see crime, so i heard the statement earlier this morning, theyve done a poll on this. Frankly, i think they made a mistake but thats okay. I promise you we will get somebody else to replace them in the ballroom that night. The business side of this hes admitting ive lost millions and millions as a result. Is that a strategy here to say look me leading our country, fixing our country is the most important thing to me . This is literally the billion dollar question. At what point is donald trump going to look at this and say ive lost too much money, this is not worth it at all. I think a lot of people saw him running as just an opportunity for him to build his brand, get on tv and promote trump. But i dont think as he mentioned in the sound bite he didnt anticipate it would be this bad and really its interesting because its not because of the policy positions necessarily. Its the way hes talking about them and name calling of ethnic groups and that is what is really bringing people to leave business ties with him. And i think this is just going to keep happening, especially as theres more social pressure. Theres never been a time when citizens have been able to Contact Companies and make their voices heard just like on social media, have a voice they didnt have before. Businesses listen to this. If they think they will be implicated or tied to comments like that they are going to cut and run. Thats what theyre doing. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Up next we turn to greece.

Those directly involved in Iran Nuclear Negotiations tells cnn there has been some progress made in sanction relief. The source says the tentative agreement would allow both sides to declare sanctions lifted. That would help iran in terms of saving face with its people but it would actually lift them over time were told as iran meets various obligations. However, this source adding there is a lot of work to do including getting approval from the Foreign Ministers of all of the countries involved in these talks. Turning to greece. The economy on the brink and banks, banks being shut there. It is quite a scene in athens. Even supplies of food and medicine are starting to run low. Take a look at this picture. It is a 77yearold retiree in greece turned away from four separate banks trying to withdraw money. Breaking down in tears. Starting at midnight tonight, voters will hit the polls to decide how greece should vote. Should they vote yes or no to a Bailout Program that would mean very painful cuts to their pensions drastic austerity measures. Is it the right move . Do they need the bailout money . We are live in athens greece. This is the question. This is about the future of greece politically, the future of greece economically whether its going to accept those hard cuts in order to get the money and keep it within the eurozone. Reporter oh, absolutely. That is really what is at stake here. 75 of greeks say they want to stay in the eurozone they want to be part of the euro single currency but many of them dont want austerity. That is clear. So what is going to happen in the next 24 hours to 48 hours, because of course you have the Prime MinisterAlexis Tsipras calling on the greeks to vote no saying these austerities are just too harsh, if you vote no perhaps that will strengthen my positioning, really my negotiating tactic come monday. Then you have those in the yes camp that say if you vote no towards Alexis Tsipras, perhaps he wont even have a deal because perhaps europe wont even want to deal with him because its clear the way europe is seeing this is this is euro versus drachma. For many people the concern will be on tuesday morning. Will they be able to get access to their money. Exactly the same as that photo you just showed of that pensioner on the ground that is the concern and the scenes many people fearing that will happen here in greece. Talk to me about what the regular people on the street there in athens are saying to you about how dire the situation is for them because we know what the politicians are saying and the hard line the imf and Angela Merkel have taken just stopping the bailout money when they didnt make that imf repayment this week but what about the real people impact . Reporter i have hear
