tv The Five FOX News March 7, 2020 2:00am-3:01am PST
2:00 am
be the hate trumpet media mob, we seek the truth. see you next monday. ( >> fox news alert. the chief of staff becomes a reality. what's behind the move. the fourth chief of staff. new covid-19 cases popping up tonight as the president speaks to reassure the public, the team of experts is equipped to handle
2:01 am
all of the possibilities in minute, two medical experts to explain what's really going on. what steps you should and should not plan to take. i'm shannon brooem in washington. team coverage for you tonight. chris gallagher following quarantine procedures. whether a tougher crackdown may be up. hey, rich. >> president trump is bringing one of his congressional stalwarts to the white house. acting chief of staff nick mull va nooe is also the president's budget director. mulvaney is expected to leave that job too as the president picks a new chief of staff months ahead of this year's presidential election. a friday night shake-up, president trump announces congressman mark meadows will become white house chief of staff.
2:02 am
i want to thank mulvaney for serving so well. john kellie left the position a year ago. a trusted congressional ally and he has a very good relationship with meadows. the president said mulvaney leaves it white house to become the new special envoy for people of northern ireland. ool. >> people have to remain calm. >> president trump toured the centers for disease control in atlanta, comparing the krona virus to the seasonal flu that typically kills tens of thousands of americans each year >> i do think if you look at the numbers, you uh look at the numbers from other years on other things, you look at these numbers, it will be interesting to see what you find. and statistics will be coming down. >> after the administration acknowledged we need more corona virus tests, at the end of next week, 4 million test kits will be available. reported cases in the united states are approaching 300 with 15 who died of the virus, 21
2:03 am
passengers tested positive on the grand princess off of california. health officials warn infection numbers will likely increase as more americans get tested >> going to see more cases because we're getting more diagnostics out there. i would say again what i said before, that at the present time, the general risk to the american public remains low. >> before leaving the white house this morning, the president signed an $8.3 billion to address krona virus for billions of state and local health agencies and billions more for research. >> two more have died in florida of krona virus bringing the total up to 17. despite a strong u.s. employment report, corona virus worries continue to drive global markets lower. white house employees are exploring possible health to address the economic consequence, shannon? >> shannon: thank you.
2:04 am
people in the u.s. disregarding quarantine recommendations and now a not in my back yard case in washington state. people in the white center area are complaining about a temporary quarantine village with people with corona virus in the middle of their neighborhood. chris gallagher is here with all of the questions popping up coast-to-coast. hey, trace. >> self-quarantine doesn't mean you have the disease, it means you've been asked to stay at home for 14 days because you may have come in contact with somebody who does have corona virus. self-isolation means you've been diagnosed with corona virus and being kept away from others. for example, in new york, 2500 are in self-quarantine and 22 are in isolation. in california, the state has asked nearly 10,000 returning travelers to self-quarantine. but clearly states don't are the resources to keep an eye on tens of thousands who are being asked to stay home. and lawmakers acknowledge that
2:05 am
while there might eventually be penalties, for now, the process leans heavily on the honor system, which some are violating. for example, a dartmouth medical student asked to self-quarantine instead attended an event and apparently ended up infecting others. then there's the case of homeland security employee told to report to work after a trip to china. a clear violation of the quarantine protocol. but in washington state where 13 of the nation's 14 corona virus deaths happened, seattle's king county trying a novel approach, by purchasing an econolodge and several trailers to house corona virus patients which is not going over well with neighbors, watch. >> i was watching the news. i said this is right across the street >> i know stay sanitized, wash your hands real good, but this is close. to home. so, yes, i have a concern about it. >> there are also
2:06 am
heart-wrenneding quarantine stories like the viral picture of the elderly couple married for 60 years now separated because of quarantine or the alabama church members who went to israel to visit the holy sites and stayed in a bethlehem hotel where previous guests tested positive for corona virus. those church members are still at the hotel under a 14-day quarantine. as of today, none of them had been tested for the corona virus. shannon? >> shannon: trace gallagher, thank you. some are accusing the trump administration of lacking transparency when it comes to the corona virus. the president and his task force are disputing the allegations as they reassure the public that everything that can be done is being done to fight covid-19. >> they're there, they have the tests. the tests are there -- like the letter was perfect. the transcription was perfect.
2:07 am
we're going out and proactively looking to see where threes. >> a problem. we don't do that. we're doing it to see if there are areas which are trouble spots. >> shannon: dr. james phillips at george washington university and dr. mark seagal. doctors, welcome to both of you. >> thank you for having us. >> hi, sharon. >> shannon: the world health organization is worried about the fallout. they say the 2019, that i call it something different, covid outbreak and response is a massive info-demic, an overabundance of information, some accurate, some not, that makes it hard to find trustworthy sources and reliable guidance when they need it. people are getting worked up. where should they go for good information? >> i agree with the statement but i think w.h.o. has contributed to the problem. they say there's a 3.4% death rate from covid-19. but they're not looking at the
2:08 am
idea that there's a difference depending on what society you're in. i'm looking at south korea with over 6,000 patient, they screened over 200,000 patients to get that number and the death rate there is less than 1%. that factors in with the health care infrastructure is there. so, we americans are looking at that, that's the number we should look at. because that's the kind of health care infrastructure we have. again, the disinformation campaign is partly contributed to by the w.h.o.'s fear mongering. >> shannon: i want to read an opinion piece. they say medical centers prepare for the surge of patients, the medical community must reassure the public and keep the, quote, worried well from overwhelming hospitals. dr. phillips, i know this is something you talked about as well. everybody is going to feel a tickle or cough and worry about this. but you said yourself working in the emergency room, you're planning on the fact that you're probably going to get it screening all of these people.
2:09 am
>> i'm going to try my hardest not to. but the doctors and the nurses, our technicians on the front lines, we're at risk. we're going to do our best and our hospitals and our leadership is supporting us to try to get the equipment that we need. to prevent getting infection and prevent us from giving that infection to other people because we know the diseases can spread in health care facilities. we're seeing it in the nursing homes and things like that now. i want to be clear and honest it's too premature to talk about the death rate and the numbers too much. and it doesn't matter right now to the americans who are watching this. what matters is there's a deadly virus out there that we're worried about. and it's too much bickering going on about numbers. we need to be focused on protecting our patients, public, and workforce. >> i see it a little differently than that, shannon, i would like to say, we have a killer out there that hospitalized 350,000 people every year and kills this
2:10 am
year alone over 20,000 people and infected over 30 million people in the united states this year and also stretches our search capacity, of course, and that's influenza. the other, covid-19 is a potential threat. we don't know what it's going to do. the unknown is what scares us. we have to be careful how we message. we can talk about search capacity, we can talk about do we have the icu beds we need. but to say we're all going to get infected by this is doing the public a disservice. we don't know -- it's the unknown that makes us overreact and go to the worst case scenario. >> shannon: dr. phillips, i don't think that's what you were saying or dr. seagal thought that's what you were saying. out of the university of arizona says this, if one is going to compare risks, we should get this amped up about the flu every season. the same piece quoting him refers to the cdc. these are their estimates for the flu season dating back
2:11 am
october 1 of last year to february 29 of this year. they said it's been 34 to 49 million people with flu illnesses in the u.s., 356,000. they estimate 20,000 to 52,000 deaths. dr. phillips, should we be getting -- is it fair to have a comparison between the flu and covid. they're different illnesses. as far as the way we take this seriously, everybody should wash their hands and getting most people vaccinated and using hand sanitizer and covering their sneezes, how is this different? dr. phillips? >> well, i think it's easy for people to understand the flu because it's a process that we deal with at least every year, occasionally a pandemic flu comes through. but every year we're used to dealing with the sort of public health measures that are necessary to minimize the flu. so it's nice to talk about it in that context because people can understand that the same ways we use to prevent the flu hopefully will prevent us from getting
2:12 am
covid-19. the differences, though, are in what we're seeing so far in the data as far as the infect and if it's more contagious than the flu and also the mortality rate. the differences are clear. but i think it's easy for the public to get lost in scientific jargon when doctors get really technical. so, to put it in the simplest terms that allows us to focus on the public health measures and try to prevent spread without getting into the, you know, nitty-gritty of the differences between viruses. >> shannon: we're all going to wash our hands, cover our sneezes, stay home if we're sick and do what we need to do this time of year anyway. >> quick question. one point, if this virus is very mild and we're not diagnosing those cases, we're going to think it's more deadly than it is. >> shannon: we'll get more numbers in the coming days and weeks. we're bracing for that.
2:13 am
thank you for some good common sense information. >> shannon: thank you. now that the super tuesday dust has settled, the primaries and the caucus can go a long way to sort out the battle between joe biden and bernie sanders for the nomination. mike emmanuel takes a look at one state in particular that can make all of the difference. >> michigan is the biggest pride of the six states voting on tuesday. biden with the super tuesday performance is the candidate with the momentum >> we're going to take this fight all across america to rebuild the middle class, to give people an opportunity. >> a detroit news wdiv-tv show has biden up six over sanders with beating president trump seen as the top issue. but sanders upset hillary clinton in michigan in 2016. sanders hoping to put biden on defense over his support for the
2:14 am
nafta trade deal >> in michigan alone, these disastrous trade agreements led to the loss of more than 150,000 good-paying jobs. >> sanders cancelled a rally he planned for mississippi which with a large african-american population favors biden. instead, sanders is expected to spend much of the weekend in michigan hammering biden's record. >> he's going to have to explain to the american people why he voted for a wall street bailout, something i vigorously opposed. >> amy klobuchar is going to make several campaign stops in michigan on biden's behalf. after it play add critical role for sanders in 2016, one expert says the candidate recognizes the stakes are high >> the delegate map gets harder after this week. this is the best of the three remaining big dates for racking up delegates for bernie sanders.
2:15 am
so he's got to do something to change the dynamics of the race. and michigan is probably the best opportunity to do that. a. >> florida comes a week after michigan and polling there suggests biden has a strong lead. so sanders needs something dramatic in michigan in order to change the narrative and momentum. if he does, the headlines will shift to biden being in trouble again. shannon? >> shannon: we'll stand by. mike emmanuel, thank you. mitt romney with the new probe involving joe biden and his son, hunter. romney had expressed reservations about whether to join with the rest of the republicans on the senate homeland security committee to vote to subpoena documents over the concerns that the investigation may appear politically driven. ron johnson promising tonight the senate will get to the bottom of it without partisanship. >> the good news is, i'm not adam schiff, we're not
2:16 am
democrats. we're going to be careful, deliberative, we're going to go through the investigation and reveal the truth >> the republicans have an 8-6 majority so romney's support is critical in avoiding a tie. an interesting development, hillary clinton is speaking out in a new self-titled documentary on hulu. not only does she say she made a mistake, apologizing for using an unauthorized private e-mail server, she, herself, is aic have tim in the case. >> and there was no regulation against it, there was nothing against it. everybody knew i was doing it pause they were all e-mailing me >> i'm the most investigated innocent person in america. and they just -- you know, they have just -- that's why this is not just politics. it's deep cultural stuff. >> shannon: bill clinton talking about his affair with white house intern monica lewinsky and explains it's the way to manage the anxieties of running the world's most powerful office.
2:17 am
>> take your mind off of it for a while. that's what happens. everybody's life has pressures and disappointments and terrors, fears of whatever. things that i did to manage my anxieties for years. >> shannon: folks on social media blasting that explanation suggesting he might have turned to anti-anxiety medication or meditation to handle the pressures of the oval office. president trump facing no primary challengers yet primary [sfx: doorbell]
2:18 am
hello, i saw you move in, and i wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood with some homemade biscuits! >>oh, that's so nice! and a little tip, geico could help you save on homeowners insurance. >>hmm! >>cookies! uhh, biscuits. >>mmmm, is there a little nutmeg in there? oh it's my mum's secret recipe. >>you can tell me. it's a secret. >>is it cinnamon? it's my mum's secret recipe. call geico and see how easy saving on homeowners and condo insurance can be. i'll come back for the plate. saving on homeowners and ci've always lovedn be. and i'm still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin, i'll go for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin.
2:19 am
eliquis is fda-approved and has both. what's next? sharing my roots. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis, the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor if eliquis is what's next for you. if you're 55 and up, t-mobile has a plan designed just for you. and, for a limited time only, we're making it an even better deal. now you can get two lines for only $55. that includes unlimited talk, text and data. with no annual service contracts. it also includes talk, text and data when traveling in mexico and canada.
2:20 am
2:22 am
to vote for president trump. the gchlt ochlt pchlt side not getting much attention. the turnout for uncontested republican primaries. what did you find? >> hey, good evening, then there are two on the democratic side. joe biden and bernie sanders racking up delegates as we head to the convention this summer. at the same time, remember, there are those primaries and new numbers show that republicans are coming out in droves to make sure that sanders and biden remain just presidential hopefuls in the history books. >> we are very much alive. >> democrats duke it out for the chance to face president trump in november, he's pumping up his own base at the primary polls >> i don't think i'm running against bernie. i think it's very hard for him to come back >> according to numbers from the federal election commission and the associated press, the president is far ahead of where another incumbent president, obama was, in 2012. in massachusetts, new hampshire,
2:23 am
oklahoma, and tennessee, trump doubled, tripled, and in some cases, quadrupled the 2012 obama numbers. new gallup polling shows the republicans are showing the most enthusiasm since gallup measured the specific metric since 2000. democrats with white house experience are worried about the democratic turnout in november >> the primaries is barely passing 2016. that's a flashing yellow light >> both parties with the female vote now that elizabeth warren are dropping out of the race >> all those little girls who are going to have to wait four more years. that's going to be hard. >> the three possibilities to occupy the oval office next year, white men in their 70s. >> despite your differences between you and senator biden, you and vice president biden? >> you mean two old white guys on the ticket? probably not. people want -- one old white guy is probably one too many for some, i think we have a little
2:24 am
more diversity than that. >> but it's possible that bernie sanders and joe biden may pick a woman to join the ticket. nikki haley floated as a possible running mate for president trump in november but he said time and time again, he's happy with vice president pence. shannon last night he praised the vice president's loyalty at the town hall denying any reports that mike pence may be leaving the ticket. >> i wonder what the president says about that. it keeps coming up. the president keeps shooting it down. thank you. >> you bet. >> shannon: sex. is not the reason elizabeth warren dropped out the president says >> i think lack of talent was her problem. she had a tremendous lack of talent. she was a good debater. she destroyed mike bloomberg very quickly. like it was nothing. that was easy for her. the people don't like her. she's a very mean person and people don't like her >> what is deeply troubling is that elizabeth warren aren't
2:25 am
likable enough and shellacks talent. women across the work place, you can agree with me too, face that discrimination all of the time. and for the president of the united states to fuel the sexism is deeply troubling. >> shannon: joining us now, bernie sanders national staffer, and chair of the program of business and finance in king's college in manhattan, welcome to you both. do you think it's sexism that led to senator warren being done running for president. >> sexism plays a role in everything but her problem was strategy. she's one of the most brilliant people who ran in this campaign. she struggles between trying to figure out if she was a progressive or what i call a compassionate capitalist. she went back and forth trying to please both tribes and it didn't work. sanders pulled her too far to the left and found out on super tuesday people are more moderate than they appear to be on twitter. that was one of her main issues. she struggled for medicare for
2:26 am
all. so it came down to her having a lot of plans but not being able to articulate that to her base. she's a strong debater but did not play out the way she wished it would have. >> shannon: that appears to have the two front-runners, biden and bernie. one of the things the group said, they look forward to running against bernie. they think there's a contrast when you talk about the economic approaches, something that was in "the washington post" today, an opinion piece by henry olson said there's a lot of speculation that the outbreak could hurt the economy but it would have to be a massive hit to put a dent in the robust labor market. it's good times for the american worker. how about the turnout with the markets and the ripple effect of that could play out in this campaign, brian? >> what we see with the strong job numbers today. january and december revised up
2:27 am
as well. three months of strong numbers. that's inspiration. there's going to be some dent there. that strong of a labor market, that strong of wages, you have that insulation built in. what it means is the debt might not be as big and once we get through this, the economy has a lot more capacity to bounce back. so maybe we take some hit here first and second quarter, but by the time you get to the third quarter, you can see the numbers jumping up again and that's going to be a big deal for the president come november. so i think henry olson is right there, recovery is very possible with the strong labor market that we're seeing. >> shannon: first, i guess, we have to figure out who he's going to be facing in november. a couple of things -- big tuesday is coming. michigan is one of the states that everybody is watching. a big bellwether, it could be important. the wdib puts you biden, 29%, bernie sanders, 22.5%. when you look at the poll when you getting to favorability,
2:28 am
biden has the edge here as well. how to you think that works out for bernie sanders come tuesday. what does he need to do tuesday to stay viably alive in this thing? >> i spent most of my time when i worked for senator sanders in 2015 in michigan and the amount of time in detroit and flint. i have to be honest with you, senator sanders was strong on trade, more so than joe biden. guess where they're trending right now. bernie brothers, they're critiquing joe biden on him saying bernie brothers instead of bernie bros. the supporters of this campaign have lost focused, focussed in on nothing to do with winning michigan. this does not move the needle on tuesday and it's disappointing to see. i have not declared my support for senator sanders, but one thing about this for sure, this is his race to lose. it's unfortunate that we see such a distraction, distraction politics and we can't blame this on the establishment this time. so, if tuesday is yet another slaughter this, is simply
2:29 am
because people are not focused on talking about his policies opposed to talking about foolishness and silliness on twitter that is not fwaning them any type of advantage. >> shannon: bernie sanders continues to have these huge crowds that have a lot of passion, very different from the biden rallies that i've been to out in the field and see them. but will those people turn out and vote. this is something that bernie sanders is saying now about the fact that he knows he has young support, but you have to get the young people to show up. here's the senator. >> all of the voters in general are more conservative than younger voters. during the general election, the challenge will be can we mobilize which campaign is able to mobilize young people? >> quick final word to you, brian. >> yeah, i think sanders really needs michigan here. this is a must-win state for him. i agree that unless he's running his campaign very effectively there, this is going to be tough, because this is really the kind of turf that biden is very comfortable on. he has a lot of support amongst
2:30 am
the auto workers in michigan, detroit. and so it's going to be very hard to upend him there. and i think this is going to be a struggle for sanders, the young voters who are not particularly representative of michigan have not turned out for him the way that he wanted, especially in the super tuesday states. if that happens again, it could go to biden and it will be very hard for sanders to catch him if that's the case >> shannon: it's so interesting to watch these. two or three weeks ago, biden is done. now he's -- now he's out in front. we'll see, political season, things get crazy. thank you both very much. good to see you. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: corona virus concerned leaving churches, synagogues, and as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

2:37 am
>> shannon: they're on-line, you've seen a spike in that, or they're with you, about dealing with the fear and anxiety about the whole worry and idea of panic. >> we're going to talk about how to avoid the pandemic panic. i'm going to share two words with our congregation -- to help navigate through this crisis. one is prayer. you know the bible says don't worry about anything. inted, pray about everything. to unbelievers, that seems foolish, but believers get that. and while prayer is the important thing to do, it's not the only thing to do. the second word is precaution. you know, again, the scripture says god hasn't given us a spirit of fear but he has given us a sound mind and god expects us to use that mind. in our own church, we're taking steps, we're suspending the service where we greet one another. we're changing the way we do communion instead of reaching in the communion tray to get out the cracker or the juice, we're having individually wrapped crackers and juice.
2:38 am
disinfecting toys every day that are in the children's area. i tell people to pray as if your saufty completely depends on god and take precaution as if your safety depends completely on you. if you do those things, probably come through this okay. >> shannon: good advice, there's so many verses in the bible that tell us to fear not. that's a continuing theme. i'm quoting the archbishop in milan who says this. the difference in the mass in the church and watching it on tv is like the difference of the bonfire that warms up, illuminates, brings joy. watching a picture of the fire. he didn't have parishioners there. he acknowledged it could be dangerous for people in larger gatherings in places where they have a spread of the virus. you foresee a time where your on-line visitors may be the ones you have the most with maybe not that many people in person. >> we have seen a steady growth in our on-line presence.
2:39 am
we broadcast our service on television to millions of people. but we have people on-line now that can go into a chatroom, watch the service, they can submit prayer requests. last week, we had 77,000 watching live on-line. and i think if this crisis continues, you may see a spike in that. but i do agree with the archbishop, it's second best at best. and i encourage people to go to church unless you're sick or if you're in the high-risk group. i think this thing will pass eventually. >> shannon: for those who do want to submit a prayer request, they can do it through your website. i know you have a lot of good folks who pray there at the church. they keep about the western wall, keeping that open for now as well. but there's a lot of caution about the holy sites and mosques for those who gather in mecca as well. a complicated process but as you said, fear not. pastor, thank you very much. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: a small town in pennsylvania at the heart of the big debate over the president

captain d's. >> shannon: the legal fight continues tonight over a massive confederate flag that can be seen in the interstate in virginia. the group called the virginia flaggers said the 30 by 50-foot flag is a war memorial sitting on private land so it doesn't violate local ordinances, a judge rules the case can go forward and arguments can with heard this summer. but first, another flag fight where a town supervisor is under fire for displaying flags with president trump's picture on them in the township building. the leaders of the democratic party argue the displays are unconstitutional and threatening legal action. tonight, legal eagles for us to decide. the national center for life and liberty and a reporter for "the washington times," it's flag day.
2:45 am
welcome to you both. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: the township supervisor says this -- trump is our president. this is my domain and i run this show. no one is going to tell me what i can and cannot display here, alex. >> yeah, it's problematic and it's not one of the professional framed photos of the president that you see in washington. it's instead a flag of the president wearing a muscle shirt holding a machine gun. so, you know, that's questionable in and of itself in terms of if it's controversial to some. the thing is is that although we all have first amendment rights, government employees, theirs are not absolute and it wasn't hung in the official capacity in the township building. a government building, it will be used as a polling site. i definitely think that he could hang it at home, at his private residence, you know, on his car, on his boat. but not in an official capacity in the government building
2:46 am
>> shannon: i think the president likes the posters. they may not be formal portraits. this guy says he did take down a flag that says trump 2020 because he said he felt that crossed the line. he apologized for that. this is the clearfield county state democratic committee man weighing in on this, exhibit b for david. >> it was a traditional dignified picture of president trump, that is fine. but these clearly are not that. these are what you would be calling electioneering materials. >> shannon: he looks like rambo. that's what they're going for >> this is a positive. free speech is allowed in government buildings by government officials. and what we're talking about is censorship. the democrats may not like it that it's a positive image of the president. it can be cartoonish. if it's respectful and
2:47 am
appropriate and part of the officials there elected by the people, they deem it appropriate. they want to be a nation of free speech. we're getting so politically acrimonious that you see somebody you don't like, you're going to threaten to sue, you're going to run to court. and sensorship is the wrong model. we don't want the judges to say what's right and wrong. we want people in america including our elected officials to have freedom of speech. >> shannon: this is the explanation for the flags. the flaggers, the group that put this up, said county official jenny clark told them they could erect this pole with the giant confederate flag. they say it's a monument to the civil war and the veterans making it exempt of height limitations per state code. david, your defense. ( >> government can generally regulate these types of things through zoning codes if it's enforced fairly. if it's deemed to be under the zoning code, they can say it's

not safe, a distraction, it's too high. and government has the regulatory authority if it's in a nondiscriminatory way >> this takes you to exhibit d. the county's attorney here. she says the petitioners were given three options, reduce the height of the flag pole, apply for a special exemption or remove the structure. as of yet, no special exemption has been applied for, alex. they haven't taken the steps. >> there could be a problem with overcoming the ordinance. the local government is trying to curtail their first amendment right of free speech and expression. they obviously everyone in the area i have talked to have seen it. they said it's been around for a while. they say it's a response when the robert e. lee statute controversy in charlottesville. if they can point to another flag pole of the same height in that area that violates the zoning ordinance but hasn't been permanent but not challenged by
