4:00 pm
that we need from american sources. the executive order will also sweep away unnecessary regulatory barriers to domestic pharmaceutical production and supported a advanced manufacturing processes that will keep our drug prices low and allow american companies to compete on the world stage. we'll be able to compete on the world stage, but we'll now have the lowest prices as to opposed to by far highest prices. i have people that i know they go to canada, go to canada to buy drugs, prescription drugs. they go there, because the price is so much lower than the united states yet it is made by the same company, often in the same plant. it is a disgrace. the politicians allowed this to happen for many, many decades. you have people called middlemen. i don't know who the middlemen are. i don't know.
4:01 pm
they never say middle women so they're politically not correct. i have heard term middleman for a long time. they are so wealthy. they are so wealthy. nobody knows who the hell they are, other know what they do. they make more money than drug companies. at least the drug companies have to produce a product and it has to be a good product, the middlemen, the rebate i'm doing cuts out the middleman are and reduces costs and goes back to the people purchasing drugs. i have a lot of enemies out there. may be the last time you'll see me for a while. a lot of very rich enemies. they're not happy with what i'm doing. we have one chance to do it. no other president would do what i will do. no other president would do favored nations rebate, buy from other nations at much less cost. nobody. there are a lot of unhappy people. and they're very rich people and they're very unhappy. here's my fourth promise to american workers.
4:02 pm
beyond our medical supply chains over the next four years, we will onshore millions of new manufacturing jobs, across many other critical sectors that are vital to our national security and prosperity. from electronics to machine tools to shipping aerospace, autos, and of course to iron and to steel and we'll never forget your washers and your dryers, okay? during eight years of the last administration -- [applause] and by the way i have just to tell you this little story, a couple of little stories if you don't mind. do you mind? >> no. president trump: that is better than the other stuff, right. i was with somebody, you know for a dishwasher we don't have enough water, sir. a lot of people in the audience would have what i'm saying. we don't have enough water because they put restricttores on. so you don't have any water. i said what is that? what is that? most states, outside of desert areas, we have so much water we
4:03 pm
don't know what to do with it. a lot of states. your state does pretty well with water, right. they have plenty of water. i passed a regulation. i signed a regulation that give the dishwashers much more water. i was asking today, that by the way includes your washers. you don't need too much water in your dryers but it includes your washers. i was saying to the brilliant people doing such a good job running your company, i said how much impact does that have? unbelievable. it has been unbelievable. because i had people saying that they wash their dish earns, press the button five times. in the end probably wasting more water than if they did it once. you notice people that make the machines you know what i'm talking about. which have the water that you need instead of stupid where you have much less water than you need you just keep going over and over again. i had people say they would press the button five times. they didn't have enough water. the same thing with sinks, toilets and showers. you go into a new home, you turn
4:04 pm
on the faucet no water comes out. you turn on the shower, if you're like me you can wash your beautiful hair properly. [laughter]. you waste 20 minutes longer, please. [applause] come out the water, it drips. they put restricttores on. i got rid of that. i signed it out. that is common sense. when you go too a new home, pay a lot of money, water actually comes out. isn't that nice? that was a regulation put in by a lot of people that don't understand life. because you end up using the same amount of water. you let it run three times longer. it is crazy. one other thing i did, you remember the old light bulb. the old light bulb was so great. they put it out of business. it was much cheaper, had much better light. you're all good-looking people but you look better under the old light bulb than that horrible no light bulb. cost a fraction of the cost.
4:05 pm
didn't last as long. cprnstetidnsti od ittppp athotan sellhe tew tewewew onea ne'ne. busiss, amaess.one is doing d aa th newne isonsidededededeardaz does w.as was w if y y leososou'r supposed dump.eeetn to sopecipeedpeedpeee how man meopl me will do do that the t t t lhthtb? ost at a lightigigigig b b be, s travel 28 miles outside the city to get rid of it. it is hazardous waste. i put the old bulb in. you can use the new one, you can use anything. it is competition but i particularly like it because i don't look so orange. so it is very nice. [applause] very nice. i don't want to look, i don't like that look. never liked it but it's a tremendous thing. it is having tremendous success. so they will scoff, who cares about that. very big stuff. you know these are big things.
4:06 pm
a lot of people come up, thank you, sir. they had sinks that didn't give water. they had showers didn't give water, the whole thing. it has been a great thing. it has been very popular. we might as well tell you about it because people don't talk about it. these are things no other president would be doing. no other president frankly would be thinking about. during eight years of the last administration america lost 10,000 factories and nearly 200,000 manufacturing jobs. think of that. in contrast my administration added over half a million manufacturing jobs. it is up to actually 701,000 jobs before the plague came in. and, if you remember president obama, you need a magic wand. no you don't. we need manufacturing jobs. he said you won't have anymore manufacturing jobs. you need a magic wand. he was wrong about that also. my fifth promise to american workers is to bring back american jobs an factories using
4:07 pm
every tool at my disposal including tariffs. i love properly put on tariffs because they bring unfair competitors from foreign countries to do whatever you want them to do. counterveiling duties, new trade deals based on the principle of fairness apreciprocity. i will be signing something very important. watch over the next week. i think you will be very proud of your president. i'm going to be signing something that is very important. over the next probably week, and it will have a tremendous impact on fairness in trade. as part of this commitment earlier today i signed a proclamation that defends american industry by reimposing aluminum tariffs on canada. canada was taking advantage of us, as usual and i signed it and it imposes because the aluminum business was being decimated by canada, very unfair to our jobs and our great aluminum workers. several months ago my administration agreed to lift
4:08 pm
those tariffs and return for a promise from the canadian government that its aluminum industry would not flood our country with exports and kill all our aluminum jobs which is exactly what they did. canadian aluminum producers have broken that commitment and the u.s. trade representative, robert lighthizer, has advised me that this step to reimpose tariffs is absolutely necessary to defend our aluminum industry. to be a strong nation america must be a manufacturing nation and not be led by a bunch of fools. that means protecting our national industrial base. we have to protect our great companies and our great workers. my sixth and final promise today is to forever uphold the commitment i made from the beginning, i will always put america earn workers first, always. they will always be put first.
4:09 pm
[applause] and i don't know if you're union or non-union, doesn't matter to me but i did one hell of a good job for the unions. all the union heads are against me but all the workers are for me. something is right. workers are for me. usually the union heads that wined and dined in washington pretty good by the democrats. as part of this commitment on monday, i signed an executive order to prevent government agencies like the tennessee valley authority replacing american workers with cheap foreign labor. there is a very big utility, run by a man that gets 8 million-dollars a year. would anybody in this room like that job, eight million? eight million a year, right? highest-paid, he is really doesn't work for me. i wouldn't pay eight million. if you paid him the, president gets 400, $450,000. i give up my salary.
4:10 pm
nobody ever says it. i might once in a while to say it. i believe i'm the only president to do that. i'm saying that is not too smart. but the tennessee valley authority pays $8 million a year to the head and after, the authority laid off 20% of its american technology workforce and forced them to train their foreign replacements this week, i told the chairman of the board, you're fired. [applause] and firings will continue unless the layoffs are reversed and the american workers are rehired. by the way, as i was leaving for the great state of ohio, did you ever watch biden? where he is always saying the wrong state. it is great to be in florida. no, it's ohio. i never seen a guy. i haven't done that one yet. that is disaster. jim jordan, if you do, that it's over, right? you can be winston churchill, the speech is over.
4:11 pm
just walk off the stage. he does it all the time. nobody calls him. i love the state of iowa. sir, sir, it's idaho. it's idaho. and the worst is when he is in like indiana and he says it is great to be with the people of florida. you have palm trees all over the place. but he does it all the time. there is something going on but over the last four years we've made extraordinary strides and over the next four years together we will turn the united states into the unrivaled manufacturing superpower of the world. we've been through a lot together. [applause] they have done everything possible to get in my way. they have treated us very unfairly, disgracefully, with what they have done to us. and despite what they have done, no administration in the history of this country has done more in the first 3 1/2 years than we have. whether it is rebuilding our
4:12 pm
military, or made in the usa. [applause] whether it's the biggest tax cuts in history. whether it's the biggest regulation cuts in history. anwr in alaska, the largest field perhaps in the world that ronald reagan going back even before ronald reagan no president could get it approved. i got it approved and now it's potentially one of the greatest sites in the world. should be the greatest site in the world. so many things we've done so much. what we've done for our vets. you're a big vet state. ohio loves its vets and what we've done for our vets. [applause] choice, and accountability. we got two things they have been trying for almost 50 years, choice, veterans choice. how about that? we got that for you. so if you have to wait in line for two days, two weeks, two months, you to wait two month sometimes, if you had to wait in line, they don't anymore. they go outside. they get a private doctor. they approve it.
4:13 pm
we pay the bill. we take care of our vets just like supposed to be taken care of. just got a 91% approval rating. [applause] va just got a 91% approval rating, highest ever, highest it ever had. accountability, we have people that are so, we're so scornful, they have hatred for our vets. that we're treating our vets badly. our vets have to be treated great but you coin fire them. they could be sadistic. they could be thieves. you couldn't fire them because of civil service unions, et cetera. couldn't fire them. i got the accountability, va accountability. if you look at them, don't do a good job for the vets, boom, you're fired, get out. we terminated over 8,000 people that were not treating our vets well. they were there for a long time. that sounds a little bit cold but the truth is they got to treat our vets well, right? so they have to do it. we got accountability and we got va choice. but to achieve the vision that we've been talking about for so
4:14 pm
long we must finish the job and drain the washington swamp once and for all. and we're doing it. [applause] for years left-wing politicians and smiled and looked at american workers right in the eye an took advantage of them and lied to them. they took your endorsements, they took your money and took your votes and they did nothing. then they turned around and inflicted one corrupt betrayal of the american middle class after another. whether it was nafta, tpp, the horrible korea deal. the ridiculous paris climate accord. how is it working out for paris? not so good. and china's entry into the world trade organization is probably the worst of all the deals if you want to know the truth. that was where china signed that and they went up like a rocket ship. and they violated the rules like nobody ever violated them before.
4:15 pm
in fact they're considered a developing nation. because they're a developing nation they have advantages. we didn't accept that. but for years they accepted that. and by the way, joe biden supported every single one of those horrible, disasterous sellouts. under this administration those days have been over and we're not going back. we're respected again as a country. you know we're respected again. you may not feel it although i think you do, you may not see it, you don't read about it from the fake news, this country is respected again. we don't let people take advantage of us including our allies who took tremendous advantage of us, tremendous. [applause] our allies took tremendous advantage of us both militarily where they won't pay their bills. we protect them, they don't pay. germany, we're reducing force. they're delinquent. i say it all the time. they're delinquent. they have to pay. we protect germany pro russia,
4:16 pm
yet germany is paying billions of dollars a year, billions and billions to russia for energy. i say what's that all about. we protect, they pay money and we protect. so we don't stand for things like that but we have many other things. i could stand up here all day longs to tell you things you wouldn't even believe. to restore american prosperity we must stop the radical left wing movement that would destroy our country. they want to impose $3 trillion of new taxes on american families. they want to ban fracking which will abolish your state. it will demolish ohio oil and gas jobs. they want to rejoin the disasterous paris climate accord where you will pay billions of and billions of dollars for the privilege of getting ripped off by other countries and inflict a socialist takeover of the u.s. economy known as the horrendous
4:17 pm
green new deal, was conceived by a young woman, aoc. aoc plus three i say. aoc, that is a real beauty, isn't it? she knows as much about the environment -- do we have any young children here? as that young child over there i think he knows more. she certainly knows nothing about the economy. and if they ever had their chance you would find that out. it wouldn't take very long. venezuela was a very wealthy country 20 years ago, one of the wealthy test, per capita one of the wealthiest. tremendous oil reserves and everything. now they don't have food. they don't have water. they don't have medicine. they don't have anything. the same thing could happen or similar ideology. they also want to throw open american borders, give free taxpayer-funded health care to illegal aliens, defund police, bottom like i.c.e., abolish borders, no more borders and abolish basically the american dream. this is joe biden. does anybody really think he is
4:18 pm
strong enough to stand up to these ruthless, vicious people? you look at, you look at portland. you look at what is going on inn seattle. these are the people that you're dealing with. if i didn't send in the troops, if i didn't send in the great people from homeland security you would have courthouses and post offices and everything else burned down, blown up. we may send in something else because you know what? they have been rioting now for 70 days and the mayor think it is it wonderful. the governor has no idea what she is doing. i never seen people like this. remember in seattle they took over a big chunk of the city, seattle. the mayor said, it is going to be a summer of love. and i said she is just kidding, right, isn't she? she wasn't kidding. but we all set to send in the troops, send in the people we were going to send in and, what happened is, amazing. we told them, all of sudden police went out and cleaned it up.
4:19 pm
but that place would still be occupied if we didn't get involved. same thing with minneapolis. minneapolis was a disaster after five or six days they were going to lose that whole city. we sent in the national guard. they took care of things in one hour. remember the scene of them walking down the street firing tear gas. now if you're not allowed, looking at the other side not allowed to use tear gas or pepper spray. can't use any of that stuff. they can use molotov cocktails and horrible thing on but you're not allowed to do anything. so the police didn't want to have anything to do with the convention in a great state, wisconsin, milwaukee, for the democrats. you couldn't use tear gas. you couldn't use pepper spring. you couldn't use anything. think of how ridiculous that is. connell: that is president trump speaking live in the key state of ohio today. the president speaking at a whirlpool plant there, all over the map in terms of the comments on all kinds of topics but did
4:20 pm
seem to work in news on the trade front we'll talk about in a minute saying he will put aluminum terrorists back on canada. that was a few minutes ago. we have a lot of news to cover. we have to get to today. welcome to the show. a few minutes later than usual. i'm connell mcshane. lauren: i'm lauren simonetti in for melissa francis this is "after the bell." let's look at the major averages. they closed near the highs of the day. the fourth straight record close for the nasdaq, take a look, above the 11,000 milestone for the very first time. apple helping to drive nasdaq. the tech giant closing at its own record high for the fifth consecutive trading day it is near, get this, a valuation of two trillion dollars. we have fox business team coverage for you. blake burman at white house, susan li in the newsroom and edward lawrence in washington. we start with blake and the latest from the president still speaking in ohio, a swing state he won in 2016. blake? reporter: he is still speaking
4:21 pm
in ohio. back here in washington, lauren we continue to keep our eyes up on capitol hill with the negotiations between democrats and republicans for a possible next step relief measure. as one white house officials says nothing is happening. both sides are dug in right now, before the president left for ohio he sent out this warning to democrats. the president tweeting the following, quote, upon departing oval office for ohio i noticed my staff to continue working on executives orders with request payroll tax cut, eviction protection, unemployment extension and student loan repayment options. watch. president trump: probably tomorrow afternoon they're being drawn now we'll see what happens. it is possible we'll make a deal but it is possible we won't. i would say probably tomorrow afternoon or maybe the following morning. reporter: democrats say president trump cannot unilaterally address three of the four issues he mentioned. >> i don't think they know what
4:22 pm
they're talking about. the one thing that president can do is to extend the moratorium and that would be a good thing, if there is money to go with it. that is what we keep telling them. a moratorium, as leader fully explained. what is the use after moratorium if you're going to have eight months of rent to pay at the end of the moratorium. reporter: back to the live pictures if we can, the president remains in ohio at that whirlpool facility where he is, started really as a trade policy speech but almost involved in sort of a campaign-style speech, sort of laying out the last 3 1/2 years of his administration. the president also saying today, we at least expecting he will sign an executive order that will direct government agencies to buy essential med sense and medical supplies from u.s. companies. connell as you mentioned off the top, the president with some news a little while ago, saying he will reimpose aluminum tariffs against our neighbor to the north, canada. back to you.
4:23 pm
connell: all right. lauren: thank you very much. connell. connell: thank you very much. let's go now, lauren, to bill mcgurn joins us. "wall street journal" columnist, fox news contributor as well. cover this in order. go to the president first on the speech. maybe we'll talk a little bit about the stimulus talks in d.c., bill. blake is right, characterizing the president can't do out do traditional campaign rallies this at times sounded in tone like one of those, but when he did talk about the economy you're struck by the fact not in middle of campaign traditional republican president by my means, whether trade policy, tariffs are coming back or he talked a lot about lowering drug prices as well. your thought? >> yeah. well definitely it is not the traditional campaign but it's a campaign speech. look i worked in the white house. election season every speech is more or less a campaign speech. the president is taking
4:24 pm
advantage of it. he is going to places like factories, speaking to workers, that republican presidents don't usually go with a message that he is standing up for them. that is the larger thing. i think actually, i'm, i'm a little skeptical of some of the managed trade and so forth. i can see why that is popular. i would like to see the president emphasize more that the way to keep american jobs is to make america attractive to invest for people here. that is what he did. he did with tax cuts. he did with deregulation, which he mentioned today. these are the primary ways to insure that the american people have jobs waiting for them when they, you know, when they grow up and take their place in the economy. connell: in the short term as you know millions of americans do not have jobs right now. they're waiting to figure out or waiting for congress to figure out what they do next on these stimulus talks that blake reported on. how do you think that all ends up? what are your thoughts on the
4:25 pm
merits of the president using executive action if we don't get a deal here pretty soon? >> well, it depend on the particular executive action. one whether he has authority to do what he proposes to do. two, whether it's a good idea. on the stimulus i have a slightly different read. when you look at the papers most of the talks is about democrats and republicans kind of coming to the middle on a deal and that the differences is dollars and so forth and scale. i think the differences really are priorities. i'm not sure the democrats really want the economy to reopen now. i think that what they have proposed in the 3 million-dollar package is traditional democratic spending. you look at one little area of contention illustrates this. democrats are very opposed to any school aid going to schools that physically reopen. well those are schools that will really need it because they will have to adapt. i think the republicans are
4:26 pm
playing defensive ball here. what they should be doing is highlighting the different approaches, saying we're trying to reopen the economy, help people get back on their feet. there is no substitute for the job. i think most american people want to get back to work. the democrats are trying to block it by, with a lot of actions that will just prolong what we're in now and make it more expensive to hire workers. connell: it all reminds us this is all happening, this entire pandemic in an election year. you wonder how it would be different, would be different at all if it weren't. especially on issue you brought up, back to school, there is lot of passion on both sides of that. people notice it in their everyday lives. parents are talking to each other, what is your child doing, what is your child doing? how does that play out in the political campaign do you think, in terms of whether one candidate, or former vice president biden stands to
4:27 pm
benefit the way they're handling it? >> i don't know who will benefit. there are clear differences. president is on record people fighting to go back. we don't hear anymore, hear in the context talk of science. the cdc says getting kids back into classroom fors in person instruction is public health matter. not doing it, particularly hurts low income and minority children who don't have say alternatives of tutors and other places they could go. i think the president would do well to press that difference and sharpen it and see what the democrats choose. again, we hear all this talk about science but the cdc is on record saying go back. teachers unions, one of the most powerful constituencies inside of the democratic party, is fighting it. connell: bill mcgurn, thank you. for standing by with us as the president wrapped up those remarks in ohio. we appreciate it as always. lauren has some other news.
4:28 pm
lauren: we have a "fox business alert." uber just reported their second-quarter earnings. susan li has a look at the numbers. susan, was there a bright spot because these look pretty ugly. susan: stock is down after-hours 5%. looks like ridership hasn't really recovered from the covid times. that is why we're looking at a wider loss than anticipated. for the quarter, looks like eps we lost 1.02 a share, where estimates call 86 cents for the loss. revenue sales were 224. that is a beat. that is higher than the 2.18 billion that analysts had anticipated. ride-hailing revenue was down 73% from march to june period. as you see no pickup despite the fact there are states reopening during that time. food delivery is a bright spot, up 113% from last year. so that is a doubling there. just getting more color from uber in terms of what happened in the quarter, they tell me, look, we took 382 million-dollar
4:29 pm
restructure charge. massive layoffs. they laid off 25% of the company during tough times first six months of this year. they want to highlight uber eats is doing very well. as we stay closer to home, people are ordering from uber eats. there is continued confidence that we will achieved a justed ebitda profitability before the end of 2021. finally to get to some profitability. because the company hasn't made any money in the last 12 years of existence. looks like the investment community is not impressed with these numbers. wider loss than anticipated. lauren: holding out hope for profitability next year. you found the bright spot, thank you very much. connell? connell: lauren, we talked a little bit about bill mcgurn about this, the path forward for lawmakers waiting for possible funds to help them reopen safely in the fall. parents are taking action to

4:34 pm
call today for a free guide. ♪. lauren: "fox business alert." the president's working group now recommending that chinese companies comply with u.s. accounting rules or face delisting. let's go back to blake burman. he has the very latest for us. blake. reporter: hi, lauren. this comes from senior officials over at the treasury department and over at the sec. you're right, this comes as a recommendation right now, we're told to the president's working group on financial markets for the sec to put forward a new rule which is as follows, for chinese companies listed on u.s. exchanges to make sure they comply with u.s. accounting standards come 2022. so essentially a 17-month heads up here for those companies. not a final rule, a recommendation saying you need to have your accounting standards in place come 2022. then for those companies that want to list, chinese companies
4:35 pm
want to list on u.s. exchanges going forward there would be no transition period once that rule goes into effect. so i fest a couple of full way to look at it, lauren. maybe another escalation between the u.s. and china and what's been going on back and forth between the two countries there. also a warning maybe to even those who have equity in some chinese companies that are currently listed here on u.s. exchanges, that maybe might not need those standards. back to you. lauren: a contrast with joe biden. blake, thanks so much for bringing us that breaking news. connell? connell: all right, lauren. another story that is late-breaking here, facebook is announcing it is banning ads from a pro-trump super-pac. live to edward lawrence with details on that one. edward. reporter: the committee to defend the president was told they would no longer be able to put ads on facebook for a period of about 90 days which in effect
4:36 pm
puts them around the election, taking them off the board for the election. facebook told this group for repeat the offenses of misinformation they are no longer allowing them to have advertisement on facebook here. now in a statement the director of policy communications for facebook says this, quote, as a result of the committee to defend the president's repeated sharing of content determined by third party fact-checkers to be false, they will not be permitted to advertise for a period of time on our platform. again we have learned that period of time is about 90 days, taking them off the board for the election, at least for facebook advertising. they could advertise in other venues obviously. this group had nine million dollars of advertising for the 2018 election cycle with this. it is run by a former state senator from colorado who is a republican on this. so it seems now a turning point in facebook, a little bit of a tide looking at those conservative voices. this as you know comes on the heels of the trump campaign
4:37 pm
having a advertisement or a video removed from their website related to the fact and policies of facebook there. so again a ratcheting up here between the administration, between conservatives and facebook. back to you. connell: yeah. that was president talking about whether children were immune from the virus or not. a lot of interesting things happening in social media. thank you, edward lawrence. lauren. lauren: speaking of children being immune or not let's talk about school because an alternative to remote learning as districts decide whether it is safe to reopen schools or not for in-person learning some parents are taking matters into their own hands. they're thinking of gathering small groups of kids together in pods, known as micro schools. we have a parent who set up the a pod. owner of family horse academy. thanks for joining us. >> thanks so much for having me. lauren: what exactly sparks your

decision? and can you quantify the interest in this decision? >> i have two children and i have a kindergartener who is going to kindergarten and nine years old going to fourth grade and it is very hard, very confusing decision to not to have them in school because they learn to socializing and they learn everything what the school is teaching them. right now very confusing to have small groups to make but i feel this safest thing to do. e-learning for me is very hard because to see them sit for five hours at a computer it is very hard. and, a couple of parents we were talking about it. let's make this place which is a family horse academy, a family place to make them here, outside and teach them for very important things but they can

learn. lauren: you have a beautiful space to do it, so are you charging a fee for the parents of the students who join the pod in the micro school? >> of course we're going to do a little bit of a fee. we need to obviously because i have to take off from my work. and i have expenses -- [inaudible]. those things i have to charge a little bit but it is not going to be overpriced like other places because i have friends and family. it is my kids that are going to public school and obviously i campaigned for private school and some of the pods and learning spaces are so expensive so i'm trying to make the my best to have a family. lauren: are other parents, especially working parents, saying to you, thank goodness, you are doing this? because you're freeing us up that we can actually pay more attention to our jobs instead of supervising the remote learning of our children?
4:40 pm
>> yeah. that is true. a lot of parents are coming crying to me, thank god you're doing that. and i see on my kids facebook, you guys will be outdoors, not that many students. going to be in one -- they very happy about that. a lot of them they know me. they know the environment. especially they're going to be around around malls. that is a good thing too. lauren: right. one final question, you know this whole idea of remote learning, and families taking matters in our their own hands. it is supposing income inequality for education system. are you leaving spaces open for it? a lot of pods and private schools are open to it. we're not blind to all the bigger issue us, not all families can afford it. are you? >> i'm trying my best that i can. i know it is very hard for a lot

of moms especially those moms who cannot teach their kids, they don't speech that much english either. and teach them, so of course we'll have them as all we can. it is very hard. lauren: i'm glad you brought that up. yeah. i'm glad you brought that up because when english is a second language for the parents and they also have to work sometimes physically going to a job, they don't have the ability to work from home, like many out there, the idea of actually sending the kids to school is so important for their family structure, even if the kid has a disability. i think it is something like 25 million students not returning to the classrooms this fall, this is a huge debacle for the development of our children and getting the economy going. so parents can get back to work. thank you, timea, for what you're doing, and for sharing your story for us. >> thank you. lauren: connell? connell: lauren in response to a

♪. connell: major league baseball making changes to its coronavirus safety protocols following outbreaks with players and staff as the 2020 season gets underway. we're joined by our sports guy from fox news sports headlines 24/7 headline radio, jared max. the big news, jared, unless you're on the field playing the game you have to wear a mask. there are other protocols they have outlined. where is this going? >> i think this is going major league baseball is waking up to the fact that if they don't take it seriously as it possibly could it could find itself shutting down the season. nhl, nba made right choices playing in second concluded bubbles. nba had 340 tests. everybody comes back negative. same story in the hnhl, they had thousands of tests. in base mall and nfl football guys are on their own. major league baseball said we

had a terrible outbreak with the miami marlins. st. louis cardinals, 33 people infected. philadelphia phillies are involved. cardinals get back to work tomorrow. to do this they will have a compliance officer that will make sure, essentially be a serious hall monitor to make sure everybody remains. we've watched games, players in the dugout not wearing masks, some are, some aren't. if they break the rules they may face fines suspensions. if traveling on airplane, only two in a aisle in a row. if people are eating together, they don't want people talking and eating. so somebody doesn't spit a little chicken salad on your face while you're there. also for the reason the virus could be getting spread. connell: when you think about it, it makes sense. it is the world we live in now. from a business perspective i know it is maybe hindsight is

2020 on this, but was there a way for baseball to have done this differently? here in the new york city area, for example, we have two major league stadiums, couple minor league parks, could we create one bubble here, another bubble in some areas, maybe cut down on the travel for baseball 60-game season? what do you think? >> connell, remember a few months ago, doug ducey, governor of arizona said bring everybody to arizona. at that point where you and i live, new york, new jersey area was really getting hammered by the prevalence of covid. now the northeast portion of the united states has been in much better shape than places like arizona and florida, governor desantis offered we'll host teams here. imagine it worked out that way? nba has been able to work this in the campus in kissimmee, lake buena vista in orlando. in toronto and edmonton. hindsight is 2020. maybe the bubble would go in a bad way. those are working out. baseball realizes in order to

continue our season we need to take this seriously. connell: no positive tests in those hockey and basketball bubbles. nfl, they're doing similar to baseball. players will travel around to the various stadiums around the country. they were given until today, players at 4:00 p.m. if they wanted to opt out of the season. i saw a headline, six dolphins opted out. others have. anything stand out about players who opted out that you've seen so far. what do you make of it. >> that is news to me. i didn't know about the six dolphins. i read about a player on the jaguars. i hadn't seen large names. basically, connell if you're a player not at high-risk, you say i'm not taking any chances this year, you still get 150,000-dollar advance on your salary for 2021. if you are a high-risk patient potentially, you could opt out on the season and get $350 in stipend. will still get the accrual time. only way players can still opt

out of the season after now, if somebody in their family has covid-19 or the player themselves contracts it. we just saw it recently in major league baseball. ce sbd as of the new york mets didn't show up to the game. through is agent he told the team he was opting out. whether people opt out, it will be the thing with finances when they can do it. connell: football, in addition not having a bubble, there is so much contact, it is tough to regulate any of this, actually play the sport, right? >> connell last week i met some friends for dinner new york city. walking along, you feel comfortable on the streets of manhattan if you're seated in a place where everybody is taking precautions. but then you come across a bar area where people are packed in like sardines. whoa, i don't want any part of that, i will walk around. how do you do it on the football season? dr. fauci said football is the

perfect soup spreading virus. thank goodness nfl got together with oakley who makes the face shields and they have a special face shield which are meant to keep droplets inside the helmet to keep players from getting sick with others. it will be interesting experiment. i was thinking about this, connell. it is pretty amazing what our sports leagues are trying to pull off and what they have been able to pull off amidst very scary times. i didn't think that necessarily we would have the baseball season necessarily going today. hats off to the sports leagues for everyone doing what they need to. for those that aren't taking seriously enough, please do. sports fans want to continue to watch and i'm sure you want to get paid and make things go well. connell: that's is a good point. do what you have to do. on much lighter note as we go, jared, light note, they rate people's backdrops. i want to see if you get a it aing later.
