i don't think you look a day over2. that is promise, ashley. ashley: thank you very much, stu. i don't look over 80. stuart: we wish you a happy birthday. we hope you come into work tomorrow. ashley: thank you. thank you. connell in for neil today . connell: if he is 120, thank you very much. you heard it live on "varney & company" a few minutes ago in the oval office with the president and leadership on the republican side of the congress. treasury secretary steve mnuchin for what that next round might look like.

president trump also made news in this impromptu get together which we weren't exactly expecting on a monday morning, saying the coronavirus briefings are making a comeback starting tomorrow from the briefing room at 5:00 p.m. start our coverage with chad pergram who covers capitol hill. chad, that meet meeting in the oval office set the table for next few weeks negotiations. what are we looking for? reporter: a lot of negotiations will be with republicans, make no mistake on that. republicans are all over the map on this by there is major disagreements how to do another bill. treasury secretary steve mnuchin said they will be about kids and jobs. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said he will take control to write the bill in his office. there is lot of questions whether he can finish a bill at all. mitch mcconnell is confident they can. listen. >> begin the process of

socializing what we've been discussing with the administration over last two weeks with our members. we're looking for liability protection for those who are trying to deal with the pandemic. we don't need an epidemic of lawsuits on the heels of the pandemic we're already struggling with. reporter: there are major disagreements extending an extra $600, unemployment benefits set to expire at the end of the month. there is a concern about the cost. mcconnell wants to limit it to one trillion dollars. lawmakers are seeking republicans for schools. republicans were alarmed trump administration wants to cush funding over contact tracings and testing. >> when we heard the white house was saying no more testing. that goes beyond ignorance. that is beyond the pale.

hopefully it was a because this is very wrong. don't listen to me. listen to the scientists. reporter: now the president reiterated his interest in a payroll tax cut. that is something unpopular among senate republicans. it will take 60 votes twice to move a bill through the senate. that is why they need help from democrats. they will discuss this at the republican lunch. steve mnuchin, the treasury secretary, mark meadows, the chief of staff will come talk about this. connell, do not estimate the divide on this bill on the republican side of the aisle. back to you. in more something to watch as detail on this, let's go back to the oval office. treasury secretary steve mnuchin moments ago outlining in, you know, fairly simple terms the administration priorities. here he is. >> the focus is kids and jobs.

the recovery act cares 4.0. we have spent unprecedented amount of money. good news a lot of $3 trillion we still have left to put into the economy to put back to work. we're focused starting with another trillion dollars. we think that will make a big impact. the focus is, as i said is really about kids and jobs and vaccines. connell: kids and jobs and throws in vaccines at the end. bill mcgurn from "the wall street journal" editorial board joins us right now. the problem, bill, as chad pergram rightly said some of the negotiation will have to begin in the party to get republicans to buy in, especially a payroll tax cut. do you think they will get it done? >> i think they might be able to get something done. i wonder if republicans are afraid heading into the elections without having done something. that said, i wish a lot more focus would be on growth. there is not much in here on

growth. the payroll tax cut is probably the best of the bad, at least people are keeping their own money t would make workers cheaper to hire. because it is temporary, you know, it tends not to have a lasting effect. i think the liability protections that mitch mcconnell is talking about are very important. i wish they would repeal the federal supplement to joblessness that allows people, that now gives them incentive to stay home because they make more money. you will not have a recovery with this all these things, i believe, that would be good to keep in mind, the first principle, if we want to get back to normal, we need to get the economy back and running. it is not going to be done by decisions by washington and so forth. it is going to be done by ordinary americans, working, starting businesses, and going through business as usual and hiring people. connell: i think he makes the point that everybody is looking for on the enhancement of unemployment benefits, people

getting that extra $600 a week in their checks. that is set to expire at the end of the month. that seems to be the real battleground. democrats will push hard to have that extended. on republican side, do you push to get rid of it completely or is there some sort of a middle ground with a partial extension or people at certain income level where you can work something out? a lot of people relied on that for better or worse, right? >> right, right. again, people need some help. the jobless benefits are mostly usually from the state and the state doesn't pay your full salary, partly to give you incentive to get back to work. look in politics they can make all sorts of deals. depend what is you get for it but i think it is a really bad incentive. some estimates are it may cost 10 million jobs over a year to have this incentive. that is not what we need hanging on our economy. we do not need an incentive where taxpayer money gives people an incentive to stay home

rather than work because they make more money staying home. connell: all right. you worked in the white house. the last point, the president bringing back these coronavirus briefings which, you know, were, when, before they were discontinued were widely criticized. they went on and on for a long period of time. now they're coming back. is that a smart move an, would you have recommended it do you think if you were working there? >> i think so. you're the president of the united states. you have to, you have to lead on this issue. they have these briefings every day. i have mean i think sometimes the tone took off in the wrong direction with the president very combative and so forth. but i think the president is still the president. people are looking to him for a message. other people in his party for a message. so i will be very curious to see how they're done. i don't think they will be done exactly the same way. we'll see. the proof will be how, not that they have them but how they do them. connell: related. how they're executed, tomorrow,

5:00 p.m., we'll be watching. the president said that wasn't the issue. a lot of people were watching. good to talk to you as always, bill mcgurn from "the wall street journal." let's get to miami to have update on the virus as we bring in phil keating. phil, there was talk about the serious situation in the sunbelt from the vice president. brings up to speed on the very latest where you are. reporter: absolutely, connell. another 10,300 new coronavirus cases now added today, to florida's tally. that is the fifth straight day above 10,000. also, the state's death toll, because of the virus, now also more than 5000. down the street is one of the mobile testing labs that are brand new where people can walk right up, to get their test. very convenient for people since you can basically get in and out in 10 or 15 minutes versus often four hour long waits at the permanent testing sites.

>> everybody, prepare for their test. reporter: spread of the virus is so concerning in touristy miami beach city leaders imposed a 8:00 curfew each night in the entertainment zones like ocean drive and lincoln road. despite being the epicenter of the state tourists keep on coming around the country. the reason miami-dade county is put a freeze on airbnbs because of house parties like this one in south orlando. the osceola county sheriff's department released video of a very problematic house parties not following cdc guidelines. the state is it offering designated testing lanes for people who are symptomatic. so they get test results faster. ideally stop spreading the virus. over the weekend, ron desantis,

said 30,000 doses of remdesivir is coming from the federal government. most people are getting tested are asymptomatic. case numbers kept growing in florida, south carolina, texas, california, where some are now fearing a another total stay at home shutdown. that is being demanded or requested by florida's congressional delegation of the governor, to have that done here in florida but, the governor so far declining to do that. the bahamas, popular day trip for people that live in south florida, well, if you want to fly there on a commercial aircraft carrier you can no longer do. that the bahamas is banning flights from entering its island nation economy because of the surging u.s. numbers. connell? connell: wow. phil, thanks. phil keating live in miami for us, in the middle of all of this. the mixed picture on wall street. the dow down by 63 points on a monday afternoon. we have a lot to talk about as

we bring jonathan hoenig and jackie deangelis into the conversation. we get to some encouraging news we've had on vaccines at the moment. the headline of the hour if there is only one to pick, jonathan, the idea of the president bringing back the coronavirus briefings that had gone away. they will come back tomorrow night. your thoughts? >> they moved the market in the past. often times, president would mention a company's name in those briefings, we would see the company's stock shoot up immediately in the after-hours or the next morning. it goes to show how influential now the virus and god willing the virus solution is on the market. connell, during the iraq war, during the war on terrorism, we used to talk about the terror threat level moving the market. it is all about the virus now. it was as hot as bitcoin at its apex. if you look at the price performance on so-called vaccine oriented stocks. mo derna has gone from $20 to

85. biontech has gone from 30 to 90. this is where the action is. the market responds in real time. that is ultimately a very good thing for the market, and the country, writ large. connell: right. all of the concern in the phil keating report, jackie, that is promising news, oxford university,/vaccine out look. what do you think of the takeaway there? >> absolutely. outlook on particular vaccine as we look at a few countries are looking at one, it has a t-cell response and an anti-body response. we still don't know a lot about the coronavirus so that scene will be part of this picture. but is it like the flu? does it mutate? can you get it again? there are reports that people who had it, had the antibody became reinfected. connell, i've gotten the flu shot i get another strain of the flu.

the market gets very excited about some of these developments. they're still in the early phases. we may not have vaccine until the end of year or next year. you got to get everybody to do the doses. you have to have some buy-in for people. maybe folks that don't want to get the vaccine. i don't think that is the be-all-end-all answer to this, even though the numbers are very disturbing t really comes down to personal responsibility. the management from the governors and all the states with respect how they're reopening and getting people back to business. it is certainly encouraging. every time i see the market shoot up 500 points on one of these trial studies that comes out it makes me very nervous. it is nice to be excited about that but it is nice to be a piece of the pie but it is not everything. connell: we have to manage the time until now until then. we have to say then is end of

the year or early next year? we have to get there obviously therapeutics become more important. i think that is the right point to make personal responsibility becomes more important. we see the videos like phil showed us. people running around with no masks t will be tough to get from point a to point b. but you give us the last thought before we move on, jonathan. >> absolutely. personal responsibility is always front and center. when it comes to investing, to profit off some of these names, personal responsibility as it comes to the investments as well, connell. the best bet in my mind if you're interested in this area, to buy a basket of the names. biotech index, ibb, is doing gangbusters this year. it's a hot area of the market. as jackie pointed out, the stocks are extraordinarily volatile on the way up and the way down, jonathan, as a quick follow on that. does earnings matter? last season, forget it, it is hard to judge, nobody is giving outlooks. are we back in a position where

numbers themselves matter or not quite yet? >> earnings always matter, connell. we're in a interesting la-la land of the market. that is fueled by so much, some say funny money. money from the federal reserve. that is prompting a lot of cash simply streaming into, not even often the most profitable names but the most liquid. people know they will be able to get in and out of apple, microsoft, facebook. that is where the action is. that is why so much of the market is focused on the top five or 10 stocks. that now encompass 25% of the major indices or more. a lot of money flowing into stocks and risk assets. some to the biotech concerns we talked about. it is essentially a risk-on market since the fed turned on the spigots. connell: yes, it has. things can be a lot worse on the stock market side for sure. we're 26,600 on the dow. thank you, guys, jonathan, jackie. good to see both of you. as we move on, here in new york we have encouraging news when

you look at the hospitalizations figures governor cuomo talked about hitting another new low. that is for the state. the city meantime is moving on to another phase in the reopening process, phase four, which may not be everything you were expecting. we'll come back to talk about it in just a moment. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. i wish i could shake your hand. granted. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> the police department has to enforce the law and they are not doing it and that is their job and they have to do it. when you're going to have to explain to the people why we had to close all bars and restaurants, that's going to be more politically difficult than telling the nypd to do their job connell: wow, that is quite a comment coming in from the governor of new york state andrew cuomo, essentially, sounds like he is blaming the new york city police department for some of the social distancing issues that have cropped up in new york. let's get to joe borelli, minority whip of the new york city council. he is chairman of the president's 2020 campaign in new york. your thoughts on that, joe. we'll talk a little bit about phase four. >> it is such a funny contradiction to be andrew cuomo today as it is every day.

this is some one said don't make me come down they're and restaurants and barses people outside enjoying the night air, when it is thousands upon thousands of people protesting or camped out basically protester encampments in city hall park he is nowhere to be found. he has no blame. by the way he is in savannah, today, won't be quarantining despite the fact he has put quarantines on anyone else returning from georgia and 21 states in the united states. connell: well, you know, it is interesting, because talking about rolling back reopenings, the numbers are still very good here in new york, right? i mean the hospitalizations hit a new low. before talking about people being out at bars, people must be doing something right or we, i guess we should say, we must be doing something right. we're getting there, right? >> i was at a restaurant last night with my family. we used masks until we sat at the table. the wait staff was all in masks. people are doing the right

thing. the city is heading in the right direction. unfortunately the phase four just announced is an irrelevant milestone for new york city. we have the ability now to open up schools and higher education facilities but both the public school system and city's university system have already announced their plans for the fall. so with this actually doesn't help most businesss who have been counting on the opening of phase four to actually get themselves back underway. i know of a mall on staten island spent thousands of dollars to upgrade the hvac system thinking they would be included in face four. now suddenly because the governor decreed it, they won't be able to open. connell: also the gyms and indoor dining, we were flashing up what is actually reopening in face four, and so you can go, here's the list of areas that are not reopening. movie theaters, gyms, malls, aquarium, some cultural institutions. you can't go into a museum and can't dine indoors. that seems to be, everybody is

making this up as they go, figuring out what to do, i get that. that seems to be the focus, right or wrong, stay outside as much as possible. i guess the takeaway from florida and other states, you went inside the air conditioning to start spreading around again. >> i get it. when you look at a mall where the macy's could be open because they have some sort of a exit out to the street but the internal mall can't be open in the same property it begins to make, very little sense. again we have zoos and botanical gardens opening up here in new york city which there are only nine of them t doesn't really benefit most of the people. they're actually publicly funded. not like they're losing money per se. what business owners we hear from time and time again need is just reliable advice about how and when they can open up. those goal posts seem to change every single time governor cuomo or mayor de blasio opens his mouth. restaurants open on the street. they were given the wrong guidelines. they have to change things up.

it seems like endless cycle, while overall the actual number of coronavirus cases deaths and hospitalizations continue to go down. time to loosen the reins a little bit and let the city open up finally once and for all. connell: before we let you go, increase in violence in new york city is something we talked a lot about unfortunately over the last few weeks. so the mayor has this plan, i guess the police commissioner as well. mayor de blasio has the plan, called the end gun violence plan. says he will increase foot patrols for the police officers, more technology, cameras and the like. your thoughts where we are in this city and to get it under control? >> i'm glad the mayor is finally coming to the realization there is a crisis of violence in this city. if shootings went up 25% we would be concerned. they're going to triple. they're on pace for tripling in one year, year-over-year. there is feel-good stuff in the particular plan but at the end of the day it relies on

proactive policing in neighborhoods where there is prone to violence. unfortunately that flies in the face of the defund police movement which we heard from two months, without challenge, without question. here we are, a month later, needing proactive policing in these neighborhoods. that is the only thing that is going to solve this problem. i'm sorry if democratic politicians have to understand their ideas are not going to help save the city, this is where we are. the violence is tangible and very real and very dangerous. connell: joe bore rolly, as always thank you for coming on. the minority whip in the new york city council. we continue on "cavuto: coast to coast." a lot to get to, including what the president's second term agenda will look like. whether he has done a good job outlining what that will be. douglas holtz-eakin will join us with that and more. with the dow down 56. we'll be right back

♪. connell: hersh's a "fox business alert," from barcelona, spain, where the police have decided to close down large areas of the city's beaches. according to the reports from there, residents ha been ignoring a recommendation to stay at home. remember, this area in spain had gone through a large-scale lockdown for the better part of three month but as they started to open up things again, the coronavirus cases have started to surge there. they're noticing that. they're starting to be done in some parts of this country, roll things back in barcelona. come back home to the u.s. talk about state budgets. there are tough decisions some of these states will have to make with their budget. it is something edward lawrence is reporting on today. he joins us from washington. edward? reporter: connell, we're starting to hear grumbling from governors, state governors saying they would like to see

federal bailout money. most states have within the law a balanced budget f you have a hit to the revenue, a significant drop of revenue you have to raise taxes or make some cuts. those cuts usually in layoffs. the june jobs report, for example, states lost 25,000 jobs. that could be an indication of what's coming. look at texas and new york. texas considered one of the most financially healthy states in the nation. tax revenue fell $630 million in june alone. new york state, 1.5 billion from june 1 to june 20. talking about increasing taxes on the rich nationwide, that people raise taxes and don't move to connecticut. republican members of the house agree there should be round of help for americans. they do not want to bail out states that already made bad decisions with their finances. adding the next cares package should be more focused.

>> i would anticipate a robust coronavirus relief package this is on top of the largest economic rescue of course, working with the trump administration, i anticipate that there will be additional stimulus fund, really targeted toward the families that need it the most. i also think we need to focus on getting people back to work. reporter: house speaker nancy pelosi wants to put one trillion dollars in a bailout for states alone in the next aid package. let states use the aid money for whatever they need it for. treasury secretary steve mnuchin will be negotiating that. he says the total package should be one trillion dollars. he mentioned money for states, but for a specific reason. listen. >> we're going to have big incentives, money to the states for education, for schools that can open safely and do education reporter: money for states for education. some states talking about possibly tax increases in the

future. back to you. connell: some interesting battle lines being drawn there, edward, thank you. bring in doug holtz-eakin to talk more about finances. a former cbo director. maybe a quick word on what edward is talking about. then we'll get into president trump's plans for a potential second term in his agenda. this state aid fight wit be interesting to watch the way it kind of plays out because you will have the democratic-run states really pushing hard, we need the money, you want us to open up schools, wonder if the republicans will give in or dig in on that, what do you think? >> i think they're pretty dug in, but in the end there will be more money for states whatever comes out of congress. there are legitimate reasons. they bore the brunt of the response on public health front. send money on emergency responders and the like. there is a revenue hit. congress set up something called the municipal liquidity facility at the fed to allow states and

localities to borrow against the loss revenue and pay off the next four years. that is way to get a bridge through. given there is real need on one hand and another source of money on the other, hard to figure out what the right number is. that is it what the fight will be. we're definitely going to see. that i will add, connell what is looked over the debate of layoffs at the state level and localitities is the 600-dollar bonus to federal ui. that applies to state and local governments as well. in some states, government workers would make more on ui. the budget gets relief. we could see a lot of that across the country. connell: there was clearly talk in the oval office changing incentive so people are not incentivized it not work. that will be a huge battle over the next couple weeks. as we talked to bill mcgurn about it. i said coming in we want to talk

about the potential second term agenda on the economic side. for the president, one of criticisms of president trump over the last few weeks he has not effectively articulate what he would do if he won a second term and for all the focus on his overall poll numbers going down or the struggles he is having in the polls maybe the focus should be on the fact he is actually starting to struggle on the economic side which he never had. that was always issue he was way above water on. he was beating joe biden head-to-head. latest fox poll, it was basically dead-even, biden is up a point who would handle the economy. president set out second term agenda that would be effective. if not, where do you think the focus should be? >> i think it is clear that the trump campaign wants this to be a choice between the president and former vice president biden on the economy. that is how they want to frame the debate for the remainder of the year. the president has really not put out a lot. he began to with the event on

deregulation at the white house, pointing out the successes he had over his first term in deregulation. it was a core part of the agenda, promising to do more of the same in the future. that is a start. there is not fully articulated economic vision other than him pointing back, we did it once, we can do it again. i will point out at this point in the previous election, the bulk of the policy was being put out by house republicans through then speaker paul ryan's a better way, a six-point plan that covered tax reform and health care reform, national security, anti-poverty efforts, overall economic growth and that is where the starting point for reef peel and replace was when the president was finally elected. that is the starting point of tax reform when the president was finally elected. that is not coming out of the hill. the campaign will have to fill the gap. otherwise they will not have enough to present people with real choice. connell: they have some time to

do it. they won't have a lot of time to do it. as we watch stories closely, douglas holtz-eakin former director of the cbo. >> thank you. connell: as we continue the pacific northwest is where we're laser focused with the protests breaking out in seattle, certainly portland. at least a dozen cops injured over the weekend in seattle. we'll take you there next. we'll be right back. just over a year ago, i was drowning in credit card debt. sofi helped me pay off twenty-three thousand dollars of credit card debt. they helped me consolidate all of that into one low monthly payment. they make you feel like it's an honor for them to help you out. i went from sleepless nights to getting my money right. so thank you. ♪

♪. connell: i think one of the issues we've seen with the shutdown in many of the businesses that have shut down some of them are not coming back. we're starting to see more in the hotel business, where a hotel closes down because businesses struggled so much. you get the announcement they are permanently closing down because of covid-19. kristina partsinevelos picks up that story reporting today from new york. kristina? reporter: connell, you're right,

you have hotels across the country are shuttering their doors for good. i'm standing in front of not one but two locations permanently closing in the financial district, downtown manhattan. this is causing many industry experts who wonder what will happen to the hotel industry because of pandemic. the w filed a notice with the state. they will let go 130 workers as they close the doors permanently in october. that leads to job losses. it is also crippling for communities due to the loss in tax revenue. a lot of these hotels are major tax drivers for metropolitan cities. listen in. >> there are three basic categories of hotel, international traveler, business traveler and domestic consumer traveler. the big cities cater mostly to the international and business traveler and they can't make it up by the domestic consumer. the big cities will take a tax hit, significant tax hit by the closure of hotels. reporter: real estate firm cbre

says that the coronavirus impact will be larger than the financial crisis and 9/11 combined. if you take a look at this graph that we have here, it shows the occupancy rate for 2020, versus 2019 in the past few months for new york city. you have can see the dramatic drop which is why the even the ceo of american hotel lodge and association predicts that roughly 8,000 hotels across the country could close in the coming months, if they don't get more help from the government. we already know several hotels announced lay offs unfortunately. in june you had the hilton say they were cutting 22% of their corporate workforce. possibly laying off more of those furloughed. you have the marriott too, said they're extending their reduced work hours for workers as well as those that are furloughed at the moment to at least october. so that means a lot of people across the country will continue to be out of work. we know, with the ongoing cases,

connell, you ever the travel as well as hotel performance just getting impacted dramatically. that possibly means that the cbre, actually i should say, is predicting the industry will not make a comeback until at least 2023 you can see standing around here, it is completely empty. it will impact communities across the country. back to you. connell: that is the thing, there is no good answer with travel being down as much as it is. thank you, kristina partsinevelos. next topic up, universal basic income something we heard a lot about covering primary side of the campaign, covering andrew yang and what have you, it has regained popularity talked about during the pandemic, people say no strings attached payment for the government, is it now necessary? gerri willis done reporting. pros and cons on all of this. gerri willis with ubi.

reporter: connell, this is getting its mojo no doubt about it. what do the pope, andrew yang, twitter ceo jack dorsey all have in common? they love universal basic income. what is that? a monthly check from the federal treasury to americans across the country. no strings attached. among the fans of the program, democratic presidential aspirant andrew yang who proposed giving all americans 1000 bucks a month. he continues to support that idea. both elizabeth warren and pete buttigieg said they're open to the idea. and it is not just democrats. coronavirus spurring interest in the idea on limited basis for people like senator mitt romney, who suggested sending everybody $1000 a month. ubi is getting attraction in places like silicon valley where executives expect robots to take over jobs handled by humans. jack dorsey funding a one time experiment in the country's

foreclosure capital, stockton, california. a basic version of the universal income program which awards 500 bucks a month to low income families. the mayor who championed program recently extended as generation's extension to the safety net and moral imperative during the covid-19. not all is behind it. doug holtz-eakin, american action forum, the cost to the nation, would be a staggering $3 trillion a year, on par with spending in the cares act. listen. >> work is more than a source of income. it is a source of dignity and accomplishment. second problem is that it's super expensive to send everybody a check. you have to raise taxes enormously. reporter: connell, expensive program. we're wondering about the benefits but highly controversial.

back to you. connell: yes indeed, good recording, thank you, gerri willis on universal basic income. in a moment we'll get you the report on the seattle protest. we go to kentucky, there is interesting story, a couple in kentucky has been put under house arrest. the reason why they didn't sign a quarantine order. the judge on whether or not that's legal when we come back on "cavuto: coast to coast" ust we're helping members catch up by spreading any missed usaa insurance payments over the next twelve months so they can keep more cash in your pockets for when it matters most find out more at usaa.com for when it matters most all otc pain relievers including volthave one thing in common none are proven stronger or more effective against pain than salonpas patch large there's surprising power in this patch salonpas dependable, powerful relief. hisamitsu.

♪. connell: let's get you out now to seattle. i know protests continued there. there were police officers i believe injured over the weekend. dan springer is on the ground in seattle with the very latest for us. dan. reporter: yeah, connell. at least a dozen police officers were hurt here in seattle. things had been relatively calm here, not so much in portland but here it has been relatively calm since police retook the "chop" zone and reclaimed the east precinct. last night, violent protesters broke in, broke windows behind me. they started a small fire inside. it was one much many places that were targeted yesterday by violent demonstrations. they tried to break into the west precinct. when they were turned back, someone in the crowd started throwing mortar type fireworks at officers.

several cops were history and injured. at least one is hospitalized. the violence spread to many private businesses. amazon go store was damaged and looted. a starbucks store was also vandalized. three hours south in portland there was a violent protest for the 53rd straight night. unlike recent nights. police and federal officers did not engage anarchists. they were free to do what they wanted. we saw fencing from a park closed stacked up in front of the doorways to federal courthouse. a night earlier, portland police union office was broke into. the small fire was set there. the president blasted city official. >> the elected officials con endodd the chaos and destruction much our city. they placed their political agendas ahead of all of us and the welfare of our community. this must stop. reporter: portland's mayor, both u.s. senators, many others are blaming the trump administration for sending federal troops there.

this violence started long before they arrived. trump's chief of staff said yesterday they will not back down. >> you will see something rolled out this week as we start to go in to make sure the communities, whether it is chicago or portland or, milwaukee, or, someplace across the heartland of the country, we need to make sure there that our communities are safe. reporter: one of the reasons we're hearing the federal government talk about increased enforcement in places like seattle and portland is because local officials are not, you know, being real tough on these guys when they're caught. just to make the point, all that violence yesterday in the pacific northwest, police made just two arrests. connell? connell: all right. dan springer live in seattle for us. as we hear more about the coronavirus actions taken by local governments around the country, a number of legal questions have been brought up which means we bring in our friend the judge, judge andrew napolitano. fox news senior judicial analyst

joins us. two topics, judge on a monday. a county in texas, ordered, if anybody tests positive for covid-19 they must stay inside or they will be prosecuted. legal? >> probably not, connell. first of all, good afternoon. it is always a pleasure to be with you, my dear friend. this is yet another of many, many, many examples of officials who are in the executive branch of the government, in this case a county administrator, enacting a law on his own and assessing penalties for the law and in america state, federal and local, only elected, legislative bodies can enact laws and assess penalties. it is absolutely prohibited as we know by many supreme court opinions for the executive branch, both to enact a law and to enforce it. so listen, i understand what they're trying to do.

they're trying to maintain health and safety, which is one much their obligations but the need to go about it the right way. they can't just say, you, we think you're sick. you tested positive. you may not be sick. therefore if you doesn't wear a mask, go outside of your house, lock you up. lock them up where? that would make them sick and make other people potentially around them sick as well. connell: all right. the other interesting one, or at least we thought it was interesting, the story that came up in kentucky. there was a couple in kentucky who were placed on house arrest or fitted with ankle monitors and all the rest, and the reason was they apparently refused to sign a document that said, hey, we're going to quarantine. they wouldn't sign it. what about this story? >> well that is very similar to the one we just talked about in texas, connell. first of all you have a right to remain silent. the government can't make you sign anything, anything except

your irs urns. this is another example. in case the governor of kentucky con connected with this rule and these people were punished without a trial. they were locked into their home. they have electronic bracelets on their aping kest. they can't go more than 200 feet from the home. they were given no notice. there wasn't a trial this. is the governor's best efforts to keep people healthy and violating federal and state constitution of kentucky at same time. i don't know where this ends. candidly, most judges have been looking the other way when complaints are filed because they're afraid of covid as well. connell: it is interesting. this is unprecedented a lot of it. people are making it up as they go along. the problem that is not necessarily legal. always good to see you. we have to go. second hour of

i'm connell mcshane reporting from new york. we did have some positive news on a potential coronavirus vaccine that's working its way into the invest ormindset today. oxford university and astra-zeneca with the early tries for a drug that produced a strong immune response. that certainly has people feeling optimistic about what the future might bring. before we get to any kind of political negotiations over what

we get news every now and again, this uk drug company, the stock was through the roof and they came up with something. how are you guys doing in terms of how you treat the virus, especially in a time before we have a vaccine in place? >> sure. and what i'm seeing here in texas is two-fold. so first of all, [ inaudible ] separated from the hospital, patients come in, you know, my last shift, in ten hours i saw

120 patients with the help of incredible nurses and techs. some of them we don't even get them out of the car. hopefully, they don't need as much as far as therapeutics go. then on the other end of the spectrum, when i wrote that medical center hospital which is a county hospital, we are seeing patients who need oxygen and unfortunately, we had one of our nurses pass recently, too. and we basically -- it's a spectrum between the walking well and the extremeness of sickness. it depends on which one you are. for the listener out there, the unpredictable thing is where on the spectrum you'll be. if you catch this, you can't say oh, i'm going to be the walking well. we are seeing 20, 30-year-olds needing oxygen and we have patients in the icu and our floor.

so we have to be careful with this. then from our end, we take care of the therapeutics individually based on where on the spectrum they are. connell: i can see why you're going back to that personal responsibility side because you're right, you never know, you have to be careful with your own family and actions and the things you can control, you try to control them. i know you, i believe, worked in the military for some time. i saw that story that things are so off in california and texas, military medics are being sent in, right? >> they are. i think this is a great thing. first of all, i applaud our military. i know these doctors, nurses, medical professionals are very very well trained and whether it's a missile -- we can always count on our military. connell: yes, we can. doctor, we will continue to watch that and other states as the spikes continue to be

reported. but also, as the therapeutics continue to improve and as the vaccine progress continues to be made. now, back to the politics. speaking of progress, we will see if we get any this week and next on another stimulus measure. blake burman joins us. that was kind of interesting, i guess it was about an hour and a half ago or so, we saw the gathering in the oval office which sets up the negotiations, right? reporter: and one of the big headlines right off the bat was the president saying that he is going to be bringing back these coronavirus briefings, these late afternoon briefings. you will remember that going on for weeks at a time. the president saying the first one will be tomorrow afternoon at 5:00 and even suggested he would be bringing in leaders from some of the companies that are on the front lines of therapeutics and vaccines to take part in these briefings. so we expect to hear a lot more from the president certainly here if not in upcoming weeks, upcoming days as he says he will bring these briefings back. the president made that announcement when he was in the oval office just a little while

ago sitting down next to the vice president, the treasury secretary and republican leadership as well. as all of them laid out their phase four relief priorities or at least were there to discuss what might come next, the president continuing to say that he wants a payroll tax cut. >> the payroll tax cut to me is very important. we're working on it. and i don't think there's too much dispute as to the level of importance. it's a very important thing. reporter: the president also said there is about ten items on the republican wish list. the treasury secretary, steve mnuchin, spelled some of those out. >> we'll have tax credits that incentivize businesses to bring people back to work. we'll have tax credits for pp & e, for safe work environment, and we are going to have big incentives, money to the states for education, for schools that can open safely.

reporter: here's how the top democrat in the senate chuck schumer sees the lay of the land going into these talks. he wrote his democratic colleagues the following, saying quote, unfortunately, by all accounts, the senate republicans are drafting legislation that comes up short in a number of vital areas, such as extending unemployment benefits or funding for rental assistance, hazard premium pay for front line workers or investments in communities of color being ravaged by the virus and many other necessary provisions. one thing that i am told to keep an eye on is the possibility of health care pricing transparency being one of those ten items, as the president put it, to be included from the republican side of things. newt gingrich, art laffer, steve forbes and steve moore, as you know, economical lies of the president, wrote to him, mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy today on this very issue, something i am told as we look ahead here, as the negotiations begin to keep an eye on.

remember, the president had signed an executive order on this, the idea now being maybe this should be codified into law. connell? connell: if you are told to keep an eye on it, we will do just that. thank you, sir. blake burman in washington. before we talk to karl rove, who is standing by, let's bring in hillary vaughn to put all of this into context of the campaign between president trump and former vice president biden, as hillary, the president's really been stepping up his attacks on mr. biden on the economic side, right? reporter: hi, connell. that's right. the president actually saying he's happy with how the economy is rebounding so far, but public opinion is not. the president responding to new fox news polls in an exclusive interview with fox news sunday anchor chris wallace, where he responded to new polls that show public confidence that the president should be in charge of the world's largest economy is fading. the polls show joe biden with a 1% edge over trump over who they trust to do a better job on the economy. 44% for biden to 43% for trump.

the president telling fox he does not trust the polls and he points to democratic governors who were slow to open up their economies for a lagging recovery. >> i think the economy is expanding and growing beautifully. now, the democrats want to keep it closed as long as possible because they think that's good for election. but i think the economy's doing very well. now we're coming back and we're coming back at a level that nobody would have thought possible. we're going to have a stock market perhaps on november 3rd that's the highest in history. reporter: trump thinks the economy will be a winning issue for him on election day. new fox news polls show that's not the number one voter concern right now, it's coronavirus, with 29% saying covid-19 is their top concern, 15% saying it's the economy. presumptive nominee joe biden says the covid-19 crisis is a chance to build a new economy, saying this. quote, mr. president, your ignorance is not a virtue or a

sign of your strength. it's undercutting our response to this unprecedented crisis at every turn and it's costing americans their jobs and their lives. it's long past due for president trump to listen to somebody other than himself in how to fight this virus. so what does an economy under joe biden look like. well, he's teased some of it. a lot of government spending, $700 billion to buy american-made products with taxpayer money, $2 trillion to combat climate change by taking jobs out of the energy industry and pushing them towards greener energy jobs and also, higher taxes for most. corporate taxes will go up to 28% and he said he also will roll back all of president trump's tax cuts. connell? connell: hillary vaughn in washington. hillary, since you brought up the chris wallace interview for one more moment. you start to wonder whether the way the president handled some of these questions, especially when he was pushed, as he was in the interview by chris wallace, if he's creating new political

problems for himself, and if those problems will be exacerbated by the briefings, the coronavirus briefings now coming back, according to the president, starting tomorrow. here's the back-and-forth between chris and president trump over the virus and how much of the increase in cases has to do with testing. listen. >> testing is up 37%. >> well, that's good. >> i understand. cases are up 194%. it isn't just the testing that's gone up. it's that the virus has spread, the positivity rate has increased. >> many of those cases are young people that would heal in a day. they have the sniffles and we put it down as a test. many of them. don't forget, i guess it's like 99.7%, people are going to get better and in many cases, they are going to get better very quickly. cases are up. cases are up, many of those cases -- connell: let's get to karl rove

on this. karl joins us now. the thing that chris pointed out was they went back and forth further on that, is that it's not just testing, the cases are up he said 194% but testing is up just 37%. i guess my question is, the president is bringing back these briefings, as he really gets pushed and isn't out there just saying it's all testing, it's all testing, is he creating potentially political problems for himself when pushed by an interviewer like he was by chris wallace? >> yeah, well, what you are asking, is there a better answer and there is a better answer. there's a publication called the "dispatch" that is taking all this data and every morning, has a very interesting chart. that chart, the blue line measures tests -- excuse me, cases and the red line measures death. the blue line is on a different scale than is the red line, but you will notice we had like 20,000 cases on average in march and we sort of peaked in late march, early april, then began to rise dramatically on the number of cases so we are now on a seven-day rolling average

about 60,000 cases. cases up. on the other hand, on the death scale, we went and peaked in april at roughly 3,000 a day -- excuse me, 3,000 on a seven-day average, and now we are down to 1,000 over the course of a seven-day average. so you know, the president could have said look, i'm concerned about the rise in cases and people need to act more responsibly, we need to socially distance and we don't need to flood the bars and flood the beaches and spread this infection, but he also could have drawn attention to we're learning how to deal with it better, we treat people in the hospitals quicker, faster and better, and as a result, the number of deaths is declining even while the number of cases is spiking. so he could have accepted and said look, there are more cases, part of the case count is coming from better testing and more rapid testing for people who feel they are ill but also part of it is coming from people spreading by irresponsible

behavior, we need to do something about it. he could have also pointed out to a great success that gets passed over and that is the fact in the absolute number of deaths, we have declined from our high point in late march, early april to today and its relatively flat-lined even as the caseload goes up. says something about the success of the american health care industry and our hospitals and first responders. connell: what struck me when you were talking is how simple that was. your famous whiteboard there. you only had two lines on your chart. you know, you made your case very -- in a way that just about anybody could understand but you know, the appropriate amount of caveat thing, of course we are concerned but, and i just wonder, has this white house got the handle of doing that in that way yet and if so, i wonder why not. >> well, i don't know. they don't. i'm glad they are bringing back the briefings. i hope that they do them in a different way than they did before and that is to have the president set the message of the day, turn it over to the health care professionals and

scientists and don't then open it up for wild questions from the white house press corps. they want to get him. he falls for the trick and that's how we get the famous bleach moment and other moments. he should walk in knowing just what the message is, convey it, turn it over to the experts and either excuse himself or stand in the back but do not under any circumstances subject yourself to the wild questioning by the white house press corps because that ain't going to be pretty. hasn't been pretty thus far. won't be pretty again. connell: so if you were advising him directly you would say do not take questions, mr. president, allow dr. birx or whoever to take questions but do not personally take questions. >> yeah. yeah. i mean, have the message of the day. he's always got to be in the room. he can always step forward and say dr. birx, dr. fauci, i -- or surgeon general, i want to add a comment or two but no, these things deteriorated when they got to be the chance for the white house press corps to ask any question they wanted and he

responded and as a result, we lost what the moment of that day was about. imagine, for example, not that my chart was all that great, but assume he took the chart which is readily available, anybody who wants to see that every day, sign up for the dispatch, it's an online newsletter, they do an excellent job of presenting it right at the top, but what if he walked out and said look, i want to first of all put this in context. i'm worried about rising cases, here's the blue line, i also, though, want to draw attention to the fact that we're doing a better job of dealing with this, people ought to have confidence that our health care system, we are doing better therapeutics, better treatment, it's affecting younger people, but we need -- we got a lot ahead of us but let's at the same time we raise a warning flag about people's behavior, let's also give credit where credit is due and that's to our great hospitals and doctors and health care professionals. bingo. done. walk off. turn it over to everybody else to explain and answer questions and go deeper. but that's the likely message that the president conveys to the country that's carried on the evening news. connell: have to be careful not

to downplay the rising cases, because -- [ speaking simultaneously ] >> we are deeply concerned. as you know, texas has a rising number. what happened? our governor came out and said you know what, i made a mistake, i let the bars open up too early so i'm going to put that -- put the imposition on bars back in place and i'm going to ask people to wear a mask and i'm going to, if businesses require you to have one, we are going to back up the businesses. if you walk in a business that says you have to have a mask to be in our place of business, you got to have a mask. connell: right. karl rove, austin, texas, always good to talk to you. thank you. quick break, then a little football when we come back. there's a push online, got a hash tag and everything, for the nfl to get back in business but do it safely, or the players might not be on board.

the host of e's the soup! camp tonsafun. it's like summer camp, but minus the poison ivy. unless you own poison ivy. in which case, why? just say "summer camp" into your xfinity voice remote to join. connell: let's talk a little about football. the nfl is certainly planning to come back which we will get to in a moment.

i wanted to tell you first about this alert on disney. disney has slashed the spending it's done on facebook. there has been a boycott of facebook that we reported a lot on, and as a result, disney has really cut back on the amount of money that it is spending. the "wall street journal" reporting on this and disney at one point was facebook's top advertiser. for the first six months of the year. but it joins a lot of other companies that are cutting back. we wanted to get to that. now we will talk football. the nfl's on pace to come back and have a season this year but its players in what was an organized effort, the players union certainly involved, really took to social media over the weekend and said yeah, we want to come back, in fact, the hash tag on all their tweets about this was we want to play, but we only want to do it if it's safe. chr a former player who funded a company called mission which is very very popular these days, joins us now.

what about this effort by the players, struck by it a little bit, like i said, the union obviously got it going and they got everybody involved in it, but did they pour some cold water on the fact there will be a season or does the nfl have some changes to make? what do you make of it all? >> i think we are in a case of the fear of the unknown right now. you've got this -- they're at odds. the owners want the players to come back, they want to start training camp, obviously everybody wants sports, but the players are saying hey, not so fast, what about safety, where are we on testing protocols, what about equipment mandates, how are we actually going to protect and stay safe. there's a lot of unanswered questions and i think because we are in an unprecedented time, the players rightly so are raising their voices about it, trying to hold ownership accountable. connell: other leagues have figured out we have baseball, they already do, i guess they are in summer camp and will have regular season games by the end of the week. the nba has their whole bubble thing in florida. is it tougher for the nfl? is the league just falling behind here?

>> yeah. well, i think it might be a combination of both. quite honestly. i also think football is a little bit of a different sport. you've got guys that are just frankly all over each other constantly, stuff's flying back and forth, guys are sweating, it's a brutal game, and so i think there just needs to be more answers and at least a protocol that the players, the union can get behind and at least as a starting point. i think those unanswered questions are leading players like jj watt and patrick mahomes to say we want to play but you have players like russell wilson who says my wife is pregnant here, come on, guys, i want to play but i also want to be safe and take care of my family. i think there just needs to be a little more communication and i think the players took to the court of public opinion to make sure that these questions get answered. connell: they probably will now. it's probably smart to do that because all the fans saw this and now we are talking about getting a lot of attention. how's business? i wanted to ask you about mis

mission. we have all seen it pop up on our social media feeds, we have gotten one or two of these masks, full disclosure, at our house. more than the masks, there's one on the screen, good shot of it, the way it covers your whole face, but as it is now in new york today, 100 degrees out, these things feel pretty good. business is booming right, for you? >> business is booming. mission is a textile technology company and we have a whole portfolio of products that help keep you cool and comfortable. this particular product, we put in market over eight years ago. it actually was originally designed for professional athletes to help keep them cool and covered when playing sports. i have actually had a lot of nfl players and coaches reach out to me and reach out to our company. we have outfitted a bunch of teams because frankly, it's easy. you pull it up and it covers your face, you pull it down and it stays around your neck. business has been fantastic. we have had the ability to scale rapidly, due primarily to fantastic partnerships and

market and our ability to source and, you know, figure out distribution in such a crazy time. it's been a fun ride. connell: yeah. i bet it has. it was one of the things for us in covering all this, so many companies have struggled but you also see so many companies like yours who say all right, i can help people and i can make money business-wise, because i already have a product that would work. now you adapt it to a new vision, i guess, so to speak. thanks a lot for coming on, chris. good to see you. good luck. continued success on the business side of things. chris valletta and mission is the name of the company. former nfl player as we said as well. in a moment, the colleges that are set to open up, some are, some aren't for the fall. the virus is having an impact on how people make their choice about where they go to will skosko school. grady trimble on that. don't go away. this piece is talking to me. yeah? so what do you see? i see an unbelievable opportunity.

connell: so the coronavirus has definitely had an impact on how people think about college. there was a poll recently from axios, they talked to college students and three out of four said yeah, class are back in the fall, so am i. i'll be there. grady trimble with more on all of this as he joins us now. grady? reporter: yeah, connell, the problem is that a lot of four-year universities already have decided that they are going full online or doing hybrid courses in the fall. we don't have enrollment numbers yet for community colleges, but many across the country are seeing a surge in interest for the upcoming fall semester. we are at college of dupage outside of chicago. some of their courses are still in-person here like a dentistry lab and radiology lab we went to earlier but the vast majority are still online, of course, because of the pandemic. as i mentioned, many of those four-year universities are doing the same thing for the upcoming fall semester. so students are questioning the higher price tag for higher education at those universities

and they're looking into places like this instead. >> it's a wonderful opportunity for students now to get some of their general education courses finished. why do you want to go to a university, get stuck in a dormitory but not be able to attend classes when you can come to a community college and get better value for your money? reporter: we talked to a student here who had that exact question. she said she couldn't even go to colleges for official visits earlier this year due to the pandemic, so she said you know what, i'm going to save my money now before transferring later. >> i still want a four-year university degree in my hand. i hope that this will die down in two years and we will have [ inaudible ] but that is my plan to go for one or two years, then transfer to a four-year university. reporter: we are seeing more and more stories like that one.

the question is, connell, whether this will be a surge in interest during the course of the pandemic and whether it will get back to normal, or if we are witnessing the changing landscape of higher education in this country. connell: that's the question. so many different businesses, real estate and so many others. grady, thanks. grady trimble in illinois for us today. if you were watching last hour, you may have seen edward lawrence reporting on some of the tough decisions that have to be made in the state and local level when it comes to budgets. want to add to that now as charlie gasparino has new information that he dug up on i believe some tax hikes we might all be facing on the state and local level. what are you learning? charlie: or budget cuts. i think one thing we have to say is everybody is looking at this stimulus plan that's being debated in washington right now, people are talking about payroll tax cuts, individual checks, battles between mnuchin and kudlow over the direction of where trump is going to emphasize what he wants out of the budget, out of the stimulus talks but state and local

governments in particular are watching that aspect of it that doesn't get as much attention but it's pretty big, and it may turn out to be one of the biggest parts of the stimulus plan and that's aid to state and local governments. as you know, state and local governments across the country have been hammered in their budgets by the pandemic and by the economic collapse that occurred because of the shutdown. so those shutdowns caused the economy to go down, tax receipts to go down and you have big budget deficits. you know, probably the biggest budget deficit in the world might be in new york state right now, new york city, which was the epicenter of the pandemic and i will get back to that in a second. so what we do know is this because i have been perusing various state and local governments asking what they are looking at and they are eyeing the talks and they would like most of this, maybe $750 billion of the $1.2 or .5 trillion deal that's likely to be enacted between the republicans and democrats in the white house, they would like a big chunk of

that, as much as $750 billion, $800 billion of it to go to state and local governments and the size of what these governments get will determine just what they have to do in terms of budget cuts and tax increases. i will say this. lot of eyes are on new york state and new york city. why is that? it was the epicenter of the pandemic for awhile, it is also huge state governments and new york city has one of the biggest state governments in the country. you know, if -- new york city has one of the biggest municipal governments in the country. it's bigger than most state governments, okay. take california out of the mix and new york city, and new york state and new york city is right behind them in terms of the size of their budget and new york city is getting hammered right now. look at it this way, there's a state agency called the new york state metropolitan transportation authority. it runs the subways. nobody is on the subways right now. that state agency will probably need bailout aid. so the question is what does new

york city and new york state do. new york city, if it was up to bill deblasio would probably raise taxes and cut the size of government. new york state, on the other hand, when andrew cuomo is signaling to people, he knows there is an exodus of people leaving the state, he knows that he has very little wiggle room in terms of raising taxes because that will lead to the tax base to pick up and leave even more. at least for now, what cuomo is saying as opposed to deblasio, i'm getting this from people close to cuomo, is that he does not want to raise taxes when all is said and done. but again, and he wants to cut dramatically, just how much he's going to cut will depend on the sti size of the stimulus package and what's going to state. that won't be determined for another couple weeks. clearly state and local governments are eyeing this and they have a lot riding on it. you know, the new york state and municipalities like that have a real big problem. people have been leaving the state in droves for years.

the pandemic and some of the striel e violence that occurred in new york city obviously, you know, heightened that. if you raise taxes right now, you have a real problem. so that's why cuomo is reluctant to raise taxes. deblasio, on the other hand, [ inaudible ] he will probably listen to aoc and tax everybody with a heartbeat and a job to plug the budget deficit. that may have to get -- you have to check new york city tax, how the tax law works. it might have to get through albany. there are some provisions on new york city that it's hard for them just to simply raise taxes. i think albany must approve that. they will have a hard time in albany because the legislature, if you listen to governor cuomo, represents a lot of suburban municipalities that may not go along with those increases. back to you. connell: yeah. we know cuomo and deblasio famously don't get along very well either even though they are

both democrats. good information. gives us a lot to watch. we have a picture of times square even after all this time and basically nobody in it today. i know it's 100 degrees out but still. when we come back, we will have more oh "coast to coast." later this hour we will look at some of the measures that restaurants are using to be a little more efficient. how about a robot at your restaurant? we'll be right back. this is decision tech. find a stock based on your interests or what's trending. get real-time insights in your customized view of the market. it's smarter trading technology for smarter trading decisions. fidelity.

connell: one more story about new york before we move back to the rest of the country. there's been a real pickup in violence as i'm sure you know in recent weeks in new york city, and the mayor and police commissioner came out and announced a plan that they think will deal with it. it's called their end gun violence plan. we are joined from new york with more. reporter: yes, that plan

launched on friday and yet we saw more violence again over the weekend. brooklyn was hit probably the hardest, that borough, over the weekend. take a look at this video, surveillance video that shows police say a 23-year-old man shot multiple times and killed in that borough on saturday, and you're looking at the suspect they're looking for now, a man seen riding away in a motorcycle. take a look at the number of people shot this weekend, up 187% from the same weekend in july last year and then this past week, new york city saw more than triple the number of shootings compared to the same week last year. the city, as you said, just launched its new end gun violence plan on friday, and that really just shifts more officers to areas with spikes in gun violence like brooklyn and the bronx. police also held a gun buy-back over the weekend. here's mayor deblasio on all the weekend violence.

>> we think we saw some progress this weekend. we got a lot more we've got to do but we are beginning to see progress from the combination of putting officers out in the places where they will have biggest impact in a pin-pointed way and the growing presence of community members working with nypd to stop the violence. reporter: meanwhile, police commissioner this morning said he is losing count of the number of officers assaulted. last wednesday, remember this, a counter protester attacked several officers with a cane on the brooklyn bridge. on saturday, one of the injured left the hospital in a wheelchair after suffering an eye injury. he said i bled for this city and i would do it again tomorrow. police did arrest that suspect on the bridge and according to local reports, connell, police have also now arrested a man for allegedly cutting the brake lines underneath an nypd van. that of course would prevent the van from braking, from stopping. a very dangerous situation. connell?

connell: yeah. to put it mildly. all right, thanks. we are going to texas in just a moment and we will talk to the owner of a bar-restaurant in texas who sued the governor over coronavirus related shutdowns but now the bar's back in business. we will tell you why and how that happened. we'll be right back. experience the adventure of a bigger world in a highly capable lexus suv. at the golden opportunity sales event. get zero percent financing on all 2020 lexus models. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

♪ connell: welcome back, everybody. wouldn't it be really random if the next story had nothing to do with robots? lauren simonetti joins us. the next story does have to do with robots and restaurants. what have you found out? lauren: this song makes me want to do my robot dance. yes, i just did that. the robots are coming and they are coming to the restaurants in a big way. you have met flippy before. we have spoken about him. he's $30,000 and he flips burgers, surprise, surprise, at restaurants like white castle. doesn't get sick, doesn't spread

germs. okay. that's flippy. have you met breadbot yet? breadbot makes fresh bread in minutes. you don't have to deliver it to a bakery or store. it's made right there. it doesn't have to sit in packaging. then there's sally. sally is $35,000, used at universities, hospitals, food stores, to essentially save the salad bar that has been lost to covid-19. listen. >> i think behavior has been changed significantly and probably permanently for many consumers in terms of especially eating from open food bars and buffets. there's just too many touch points, too many possibilities of spreading disease in those kind of food experiences. lauren: and because of that, mr. wilmer says demand has quadrupled since the pandemic but the age old question is are robots about to replace workers.

the brookings institution finds that 36 million american jobs are at a high risk of being replaced by automation with the largest concentration being in the food service industry. 73%, imagine that. now, some companies say we're not displacing workers, just freeing them up to do other things like face customers, clean, especially right now with the pandemic. but this is a time when companies are trying to do so much more with less. they have to cut costs in every way that they can. they don't want to pay higher minimum wages, they don't want to pay benefits and with a robot, you don't necessarily have to do that. when you couple that with the facts robots are cleaner, technology is being advanced in a big way. so yes, the robots are coming to the restaurants. let's see what happens to the workers. connell: exactly. that's always the question. there are so many sides to these

type of stories but that is a really cool use of technology, right, on the salad bar side. people have thought things like that would go away if you're not comfortable but they come up with something. thank you, lauren. lauren simonetti on robots in the restaurants. want to get to texas and that story now as we are joined by t. allen parker who runs the machine shed bar and grill, who was involved in a lawsuit, suing the texas governor greg abbott over the shutdown order that was in place but now, you are back in business, right? tell us how that worked out. he doesn't later mhear me, huh? guess not. >> how are you? connell: she hears somebody. guys, tell me if that's me she's hearing. we will do this on the fly. you hear me okay? >> i hear you great. connell: all right. we're on. sometimes we have to do these things on the fly with the way the broadcast setup is these days i was just saying right

before, you may have heard this or not, you have this lawsuit, you sued basically the state, the governor, because of the shutdown, and we would talk to you about that but next thing you know, you're back in business. what actually happened? >> so they gave me a suspension as abbott had mandated, ordered, and that was -- he gave me a su pension suspension on july fourth, independence day, he took away my independence. we appealed that, we won, we got the license back in ten days. we applied for a food and beverage. so he didn't take the food away. they charged me almost $800 to do what we already did which was serve food. so we had to pay that so they gave us a food and beverage but sadly we're closed again. so we're not open. there has been a development since yesterday. yeah. we're not open. connell: what happened? what's the latest development? >> square processing out of

nowhere, sends me an e-mail that says we have deactivated your account, we are not processing your payments anymore, and we are going to hold every penny that you have made for the next 90 days. so we can't financially be open. we went through all the channels, and i'm right back where 7,000 other bars in the state of texas are, with at least 7,000 independent bar owners that are going bankrupt. connell: all right. square is the company that processes payments, as you said, jack dorsey's company. is this a separate dispute, some sort of financial dispute that has nothing to do with what's going on here? >> there was no charge-back. there were no disputes on this account. nothing. it just came out of nowhere. i'm not even understanding. i don't understand what happened. connell: okay.

>> financially -- connell: originally, we heard that if you were 50%, like if you served more food than drinks essentially, like if you were 50% food and i guess 49% alcohol, you would be okay. is that the way it was before all this happened? >> no. what abbott did was he based it off of 51% -- he said i don't care if you serve food or not, if your gun sign is 51% red you have to shut down right now. that's what he did. so -- connell: all right. interesting. weird situation. we have to run, unfortunately. the show is just about over. tell you what, we will follow up with you and that was a surprise to us that got brought up to us. we will give square a call and see what their side of it is, a side we should know about as well. maybe we will follow up on that tomorrow. anyway, that's the story in texas.
