"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. liz: let's go right to edward lawrence with the headlines out of washington. reporter: the will to open up, spreading as fast as the coronavirus did since the first case arrived in the united states and president donald trump making sure the opening up includes places of worship. he deemed them today essential businesses. >> i call upon governors to allow our churches and places of worship to open right now.

if there is any question, they will have to call me but they will not be successful in that call. these are places that hold our society together and keep her people united. >> 48 states are allowing some or all businesses to start up again. white house coronavirus experts say the hospitalizations are down dramatically since april and every state in the nation is now testing positive of under 10%. still white house advisor kevin says nationwide 69% of businesses are now open. >> if you look at the data it's fair to be optimistic in its opening up and it'll get the economy going again in people's lives are at risk. >> he warns there will be bad economic data still coming out, he sees the body him at the end of this month, and to keep the economy open and get it going again, president donald trump talking to mitch mcconnell about phasing off the coronavirus benefits which is made it more

attractive not to look for a job and stay on unemployment. also the white house press secretary chastising reporter saying they were quick to convict michael flynn but have not followed up on any outstanding questions related to the obama administration given the president and his staff around him a pass about what did they do, who knew what and when did they do it. >> i laid out a series of questions that any good journalist would want to answer why people are wearing masks and all sorts of questions. i wanted to follow-up with you on that, did anybody take it upon themselves to oppose any questions about michael flynn unmasking present obama spokesperson. not a single journalist. reporter: back to you. liz: edward, what a day in d.c. thank you so much for your reporting. great to see you. let's get back to the fight over reopening. all 50 states have lifted at

least some stay-at-home restrictions ahead of a three-day memorial weekend. president trump says he will not let the country shut down again if there is a second wave. that is in contrast with other administration officials who are not ruling out advising new serious measures in response to the second wave. a new associated press poll, it shows that american opposition to stay-at-home orders, more than doubled since a month ago and now one in four opposing versus one in ten in april. new yorkers talking about a scorching column that really blasted how the shutdown orders have been conveyed and enacted. it is in the new york post. democrat leaders, your shutdown orders, enough is enough, it's hurting americans, he says open up now. let's welcome the author of that new york post here is david marcus. great to have you on. people are talking about your column, why do you say in the lockdowns now? >> i read a column this weekend in response to seen images of

new yorkers lined up about 4:30 a.m. at the catholic church because they were hungry and they needed food. this was in queens but this was happening all over the city. people are running out of money, small businesses are reaching the point where they're not going to be able to open anymo anymore, folks cannot pay their rent, kids are not getting educated, nobody can get screenings, there's not only an economic toll but a toll that is being paid right now by the people on new york and the lockdown in soon, and is going to get significantly worse. liz: the images of families, american families on food lines with their children, that's what you saw as well, what you're saying about 600 doctors sent letters to the president saying were on our brink of a mass

casualty event, they're talking millions of americans saying basically they will be suffering from alcoholism, homelessness, suicide, stroke, heart attack, we are seeing double digit to the downside drop in cancer screening and vaccinations of children. cancer screenings are down 80% since beginning of the year, that is big, that means people are going undiagnosed with cancer. >> absolutely and people will die. in this entire debate about the lockdown has been framed by the left in such a way that if you're not in favor of indefinite lockdown until we have a vaccine or until we have some kind of a cure, if you are not in favor of that, they say you're a murder who wants to kill grandma. there is a human soul on the other side too. we need to stop without silliness, their legitimate interest on both sides in new york city is reaching the point of no return and i don't think

her governor knows. liz: why do you say he does not know? >> because he does not express it. governor cuomo refers to this as people having financial stress. financial stress is wondering if yacht order pizza tonight or if you need to save the money to make your rent. that's what were talking about were talking about along the lines epic the question. there is no gravity here, i don't understand his attitude whatsoever. liz: j.p. morgan chase put out a study that shows that cases of infection of covid-19 did not go up in states that reopen, we see that in europe that the infections are not going up in areas that reopen in many parts of the world, were seen in about 20 states that they are going down, coronavirus cases are going down, seven states are plateauing in 15 states increasing. what was your reaction to hearing that data?

>> it makes us question all of this and another thing that is very important to new york city that we found out is a cdc which is been telling us for months that this virus can survive on a surface for 8000 years or whatever, apparently that is not true. that was a huge concern about things like elevators and escalators and things like new york had to deal with throughout their lives. it's a fluent situation. the science is changing everyday and that's what makes it even more absurd for the governor and the mayor to say we are going to entirely based public policy on the science. we don't know that it's accurate yet. >> at the same time, the final point. new york state has 59 hundreds of deaths and nursing homes. florida for the entire state have 2100 cases. 850 and nursing homes.

because florida did not put recovering covid patients back into nursing homes. minnesota, eight out of ten fatalities are in nursing homes because they're putting covid-19 patients back into nursing homes. you talk about arbitrary decision-making and policies americans have to deal with, this is the biggest one. were seeing the same thing happen in new jersey and pennsylvania. take that on. >> it was a huge mistake. listen this is what an unprecedented disaster and it did not help that china and the world health organization were lying for months and months, we went have been meant under much better off up you deep into decent information. governor cuomo had a real hard thing to deal with. he followed this up incredibly badly. he cannot keep that up for me opening the city and giving new yorkers their lives back. >> and doing it with common sense. will you come back on the show, we love having you on. great insight. we really appreciate you coming

place to keep the investigation away from political controversy. we have known for months that a group of individuals who apparently despise the president maliciously manipulated and diverted those procedures and control to attack the president at any cost. liz: here's the other story that is breaking, your reaction to joe biden refusing to say whether he will comply with senate subpoenas and republican probes involving biden's son hunter biden with his work in ukraine when joe biden was appointed the obama administration in ukraine. he is saying he may not comply, he did not answer whether he will comply, he said is just a diversion. and joe biden had a mistake that he made. he's saying if you don't vote for me for african-americans and you're not african-american, you are not black. he is making some missteps could

ask her saying, what do you think? >> i really think he is, i cannot for the life of me understand what he said earlier today that was to me insulting and demeaning and is not clear was a halfhearted apology. i think he needs to answer those questions, i wish more people in the press were asking him questions about that. it seems like he's getting a pass and in terms of complying with subpoenas, i would think that he would be complying with all of his legal obligations. that is the position the president took and he was attacked for that for daring to assert his legal rights. and now we have to complete different standards. liz: great to have you on, we are so sorry we ran out of time. we hope you have great weekend. come back soon. >> youtube.

>> to respond for a petition

which is an extraordinary measure that we took and is allowed when a judge has acted completely outside of his authority or jurisdiction. in his decision not to grant the motion to dismiss and instead the government's motion to dismiss because of everything that they found the prosecution of general flynn should not happen in the appeals court has ordered him to respond within ten days. liz: that was michael flynn's lawyer sidney powell with us of the other night on judge emmet sullivan now been ordered by a federal appeals court to explain himself in just over a week's time as to why he is trying to re-prosecute the flynn case. by accepting lieutenant general

flynn. let's welcome back to the show matthew whitaker former acting attorney general and author of the book above the law. the inside story of how the justice department tried to convert president trump. great to have you back on, your take on sidney powell? >> she is absolutely right, there is no discretion judge sullivan has under the federal rules of criminal procedure. he must discuss this case, he is not the prosecutor. >> turning to fbi director christopher wray opening an internal investigation to a possible fbi misconduct in their probe of the flynn case. what was your reaction when you heard the story, republicans have said for months, where is fbi director christopher wray. >> is been under a lot of criticism and bill barr is probably putting pressure on him, after the government spiraling in the flynn case that over 100 pages demonstrated misconduct on the part of certain members of the fbi and several on the cover of my book. it is only natural that ray woulchristopher wray would do ts

internal investigation and americans want accountability. liz: lots of irregularity in the flynn case. the fbi officials talked about cornering flynn into lying to the fbi after james comey and the fbi officials wanted to drop in late 2016 an early 2017 and then peter strzok keeps it open on behalf of james comey, the fbi wiretap, the russian ambassadors home when he was talking to michael flynn. the fbi did not tell flynn, was a criminal interview when the fbi sat down with him in the white house and he had no lawyer present and know him miranda warning, cnn reported in february 2017 the fbi agent believed for an provided truthful answers and don't believe he was intentionally misleading. nobody has listened to the transcript of the wiretap of the russian ambassador call and nobody can find the 302 interview form that the fbi

recorded and took down notes of the flynn interview. >> you are right, this is where president obama and jim comey agreed that this investigation would be done buy the book. i don't know what book the reading because quite frankly, the justice manual would have run the decisions made in this investigation. jim comey not only bent the rules but he broke all the rules in the book that should've been implied. i think this case not only smells bad but what bill barr said as attorney general, justice demands that the flynn case be dismissed and those that did this illegally or committed illegal acts be held accountable. liz: we have interviewed people who are not fans of president trump. they say something has gone wrong. the way to look at it, take out the words obama and trump and look at the facts. the fbi to open a case, correct me if i'm wrong they had to have

a predicate or a basest open case, we are seeing government leaks to the media used by the fbi predicates to feel their probe into happened with yahoo! news when christopher steel spoke to yahoo! news and the fbi used the yahoo! news to get a fisa wiretap to go after carter page in the happened with comey leaking information in the columbia university professor to get the mueller probe launched. it happened with government senior official leaking to the washington post and that was used as a pretext to go after flynn. kayleigh machen he needs the white house press secretary said the fbi is supposed to investigate crimes not manufacture them. >> i think you're right, the predication issue is not only important to the flynn case where it appears there was not an investigation that his statements were material, i also think there was no predication for the donald trump criminal

investigation that they launched as part of the mueller investigation. i think this is a real issue. liz: why do you say that. >> if you remember jim comey was fired and andy mccabe almost immediately to the leaked memos that jim comey caught and put the president into a criminal investigation and rod rosenstein appointed bob mueller as special counsel. liz: matthew whitaker, you're great. i hear you, will you come back soon. >> absolutely i would love to join you again. liz: next up, joining us retired marine corps staff sgt johnny (joey) jones as a nation repairs to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for america ahead of this weekend for the memorial holiday, he joins us. he is the host of the fox news radio podcast proud americans, he is our special guest and he joins us next.

navy seal, her son died on extortion 17. coincidentally enough on august 6, 2011, 1 year after my own aligns day, i got to know her and this is a fantastic thing she is doing. liz: president trump made remarks today at the white house to the ruling to remember bikers. you're an active member in the veteran biker committee, can you talk to us about that? >> i had the opportunity to do a ride across the country with a group of veterans and celebrities and raise awareness and money for various organizations, over the years i worked for the cast of sons of f anarchy", robert patrick was there today, the biker community was founded for them coming home from vietnam and they've never forgotten that. whenever there's a call for the veteran community the biker community is there and they were there to remind people that rolling thunder has moved on and now it's rolling to remember even amid covert and all the

social distancing there still there to raise awareness for those who did not come home from vietnam most specifically but any of those that we have lost along the way serving our country. liz: , what does memorial day mean to you on a personal note, my family always respects people in the military. my mother never knew her father, we did not know our grandfather, he was hit with mustard gas in world war i and he died when she was one of my grandmother was pregnant during the great depression. and my great-grandfather ran the new york city fire department, his son passed away a year after my grandfather died from pneumonia. in my sister married a fireman two days before 9/11. we know a lot of guys gone. the way the firemen family is, the responses what are you going to do. you go forward and you keep going. in our family, we take memorial day to heart, what does it mean to you? >> the story you just told is

the message that i have for memorial day. we use this term 22 veterans a day, the only thing you don't like about that, doesn't add anymore faces a number. memorial day is the same, there's a message if you go have a good time, you should feel guilty because you are not observing but really i don't know a better way especially this year to observe memorial day then taking the freedom that we have in this country that were secured by those men and women who gave their lives, this year especially when the freedom i felt constricted over the past several months. as a country reopens, we always talk about memorial day being a day to remember. how better an opportunity to remember that on the hills of not having these opportunities over the past several months. this memorial day is as important as any that we've had and i want people to drink a beer if that's at they do or eat a hot dog or hamburger and if you're in georgia go out to the lake, attach that back to the sacrifice because that's exactly

what it is. liz: sgt, you were born to be a hero, there's something inside you that made you do what you do and that's what memorial day is, it's about celebrating our military men and women who served our country like you did. were so grateful for you and i want to thank you for serving our country. you did it with honor and dignity. that is staff sgt joey jones. come back soon. >> thank you. liz: tune in this monday for his very special proud american podcast episode. let's turn to the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell now firing back at house speaker nancy pelosi and the democrats, they're trying to block the republican push to get the information to americans about what happened with abuses and the trump russia probe and the michael flynn investigation. let's watch senator mcconnell. >> i would say to the speaker, after the impeachment, you are not in a position to be

lecturing us about what the appropriate use of senate time is. the house of representatives is arguing before the supreme court that there still looking at another impeachment. there arguing that before the supreme court this week. look, this is a legitimate oversight responsibility of the senate and a lot of apparent misbehavior going on in the opening of those investigations into general flynn and others, the house can spend time on an impeachment effort that we should at least have oversight over what happened to initiate the whole process a couple of years ago. liz: as if it could not get any hotter in washington, it is. mike johnson will join us next on that breaking out story happening right now. join us in just a moment. we will take a commercial break. ♪ a place. but when you have the chase mobile app, a place. your bank can be virtually any place. so, when you get a check... you can deposit it from here.

liz: but welcome republican mike johnson, he is on house judiciary, the former house impeachment defense team member, great to have you on. you are working with jim jordan on what the obama administration did in the trump russia probe and the flynn probe. democrats are pushing up the push back against you and the republicans, your take on what's going on? liz: we have technical difficulties. we are going to try to work and get mike johnson back on. let's bring in former state department official christian white and, it is great to have you on. >> great to be here elizabeth. liz: can you take that question on about the democrat pushback against republicans trying to investigate abuses by the obama administration and the trump russia probe in the flynn probe, the pushing back hard against

that. >> i understand that, after all this is an effort to protect the deep state. that is ultimately what obamagate was about. that's why they went after mike flynn the general. they hated this policy and they hated that they wanted to focus on china in the heat of the reforms that he did when he attempted when he was head of the defense intelligence agency. he saw these fake national intelligence estimate saying that iran was not a big threat and they are run nuclear deal was a good idea that isis was not the calamity created by the obama biden administration, he stood against all of that and that's what made him a key target, that's where they went after him. obama said the president trump don't hire general front, that was not him giving good advice, that was in protecting the deep state now we see democrats doing the same thing. >> former president obama is criticizing the scene the

justice department dropping the case against michael flynn, the motion to drop, does not indicate it's personal for president obama? >> i think so, was obama who fired flynn, not for good reasons but because he wanted to stop the reform that flynn wanted to implement. remember when was in charge of intelligence in afghanistan. he had a solid track record that he was bringing to the dia and obama wanted to frankly put in into, he got him out and really part of the effort to set up general flynn, obama, we were finding out more and more every day laying the traps working with sally gates of the justice department, flynn looked down and saw the fbi and said they will come brief me about national security issue but what happened, they went into trap him and try to trap him in a y which they probably did not get, that did not stop him from prosecuting them. >> the word is that president

obama was angry when he testified to congress that he is not the gdp. to your point, he was a former director of defense intelligence agency in the pentagon service and the theory is according to sidney powell, michael flynn's lawyer, flynn knew how and where to find evidence of the fbi and legal spying operation against the trump campaign. let's listen to sidney powell i would like your reaction on what she says listen. >> he was going to audit the intelligence as he came to the white house and that was one thing he was terrified of and he would mee immediately discoveree fisa abuses and the incredible widespread general surveillance abuses of the administration, i don't know whether it's from mrs on who we wanted to focus on or whether it's called the hammer or whatever it is but there was a massive surveillance operation very widespread by the obama

administration to survey out all political opponents and anybody else they wanted to collect information on using the nsa database on the research on operation. liz: what sidney powell is saying that michael flynn wanted to audit the intelligence community capabilities and what they were doing. does this indicate that wiretapping the russian ambassadors phone, the fbi did that, is it an indication that they were going after flynn and it was more than russian interference which everyone agrees is wrong. there was something else apply, is there an inside story or a back story about why obama and his team wanted to block michael flynn at all cost? >> i think so, i think it's great that were tapping the russian ambassadors and if we are, we hotter monitor them. when you have a routine conversation with incoming national security advisor in

both parties used to be in favor of having an open channel of communication to the russians. why you would spy on that nyu would unmask him and leak that information out to the president which is a felony, that's all very bad stuff, flynn knew the bodies were buried, he had experience across much of the intelligence agency, very much in the army in the military and more broadly as head of the dia. coming in as national security advisor, having it year of donald trump who is very irritated that intelligence community was well but i simply decide. that's what the left is accusing trump of but that's what they did they politicize tim and say isis is not a threat, that the iran nuclear deal was succeeding when it was not. and flynn would've been in a strong position to advise the president on reforming that. that would undermine everybody that we saw with obamagate which is trying to protect the deep state in order to undermine donald trump once he took offi

office. liz: just to wrap this up, lee smith is the author of the book the plot against the president, she has been writing about this. obama saw flynn even before flynn joined the trump nsa, he saw him as a threat to his iran nuclear deal in 2015. is that your take that he was a signal threat to his legacy and the iran nuclear deal? >> exactly, flynn knew how intelligence had been politicize and ponied up, he tried to correct that, obama fired him, that made him available to go to the trump campaign and he landed some legitimacy to the foreign policy part of the campaign and obama had a personal vendetta and that's what he was target number one, the ultimate target donald trump and the ultimate target was general flynn. liz: your terrific, we love your perspective and insight, will you come back on. >> we will be happy to thank you so much.

>> up next, questions are swirling about what is going on with u.s. air force leading back citizens were coming from hotspots of the coronavirus outbreaks in europe, italy, the uk, china and iran. we will talk to retired army colonel coming up next. ♪

liz: welcome back, lots of questions about whether or not federal, state and local governments are enforcing quarantine for citizens to travel back to the united states into the airport from international coronavirus hot zones, were targeting europe in places like italy, the uk, china and iran. the local cbs new york station is looking into what's going on with jfk and newark and they are seeing travelers coming back. they found 13 designated airports this is happening at, third not just talking about jfk and queens but other airports throughout the country. let's bring in lieutenant colonel david hunt on this and get his reaction. he is a retired u.s. army.

there is finger-pointing among federal and local officials like governor cuomo about who is responsible for this. the issue here is the cdc is saying 35% of all covid cases and patients, they don't show symptoms, their asymptomatic. what was your reaction when he saw the story? >> i think we forgot were at war. were at war with the virus and were not winning it. but were upset with the economic repercussions of what we had to do with 38 million people that work. were still at work in the travel from overseas into the u.s., states control what happens inside their states, the problem is there is an administrative screwup with the bureaucracy but i think an overall view that

were hearing too much happy talk at the top of the mountain from a crisis standpoint, this virus is not over and were not winning this, and i do not suggest we let the economy open until were honest about what happens when we do. but this issue you're describing nothing airports, we need to be testing, everybody coming off the planes, i understand how hard that is and it's doable, the united states of america and until we can get closer to winning this against the virus, the countries you describe all have to be checked. liz: as the country opens up and increase international flights, it looks like this is going to be a growing problem. so we have reporters asked new york governor cuomo, how do you make sure they stay quarantine for 14 days as they're supposed to do, cuomo said it's not a

state role, if the federal government's role. but it is the states role, the state is supposed to stay when you get off your supposed to quarantine. so how do you enforce it, should we be more rigorous at every level with saying yeah you have to coin team for 14 days according to cdc recommendations if you come from a hot zone. >> it's an impossible task. we don't have the manpower -- when you told your buddy you get off the plane your 14 days, and your supposed to come often 14 days quarantine. that's not enforceable. i know there are some programs and put on cell phones et cetera. but the point suggest that you can take thousands of people to come off planes and enforce a 14 day quarantine that is not doable. you want people to cooperate because of this worldwide

pandemic but the enforcement part, clearly the states and federal government have to do something and cities. but we do not have the manpower. even if you do, i don't recommend, even if you bring a national guard reserve in active duty, that is why -- we don't have enough people to enforce it. we are still in this fight, we have to test people coming in and enforcing the 14 day quarantine is not doable. liz: it is interesting that you say that, and did by the airlines there, they do testing before you get on the plane, and korea, south korea you have to have a health certificate showing that your clear of the coronavirus. >> that is great, glad they did that, the problem is the numbers, both those countries don't have the numbers. the point i'm making, with the hotspots of the countries italy and china and the rest come into

those airports they have to be checked and i have no problem being checked and they come on the plane and get off the plane. by the way, this will slow down terribly, two hours in each end of a flight to get this kind of a check. it is not important. we are not doing it on the state, nobody's getting checked in maine or virginia, although doing is asking people in hotels, the people have not been coin team from out of state. as far as flying into the u.s., they have to be checked. i don't see how you can enforce 14 days. liz: thank you so much for serving our country, we hope you have a good memorial day. good to have you on, come back soon. >> you to thank you. liz: i am elizabeth macdonald, you watch "the evening edit" on fox business. that does it for us, i hope you have a really good happy and safe memorial day weekend.

have a good one, come back soon and come back on tuesday we will have a great show. have a good one. ♪ lou: good evening, everybody. this just in: fbi director christopher wray today announced that the fbi conduct an internal revenue -- review, rather, of how the bureau conducted the michael flynn investigation. that review will begin with the interview of general flynn which was carried out on january 24th of 2017 in the white house by disgraced fbi agent peter strzok, agent joe pientka. an interview from which the fbi's original 302 report summarizing what was said in the interview has, well, it's gone missing in the fbi of a
