>> this will be probably the toughest week between this week and next week. there will be a lot of death unfortunately but a lot less death. and if this wasn't done, we want to save lives. we want as few lives lost as possible. pete: welcome to the sunday edition of "fox & friends." president trump warning after tough week in the u.s. coronavirus pandemic. more than 1300 people have died nationwide since yesterday morning. griff: total number of deaths now more than 8,000 as nationwide cases surpasses 300,000. this as the white house task force warns after spike in deaths this week in covid-19 hot spots. jillian: one of those hot spots,

new york, receiving additional help. president trump deploying 1000 military personnel as oregon and china sent 1000 ventilators to the state. we say good morning on palm sunday, i'm jillian mele. along with pete hegseth and griff jenkins. pete: thank you. we'll get to the aspects of and parallels of palm sunday. it is holy day for people on this sunday. normally people heading to church but not today. griff: we have great guests coming up. we have congressman devin nunes. we have congressman jeff van drew. we have nfl star ben watson. the president talking with the nfl yesterday. we have got the doctors full on deck, you see them right there, neshiwat, safire and siegel. we'll take answers and try to get them to you as best we can.

jillian: u.s. recording most number deaths so far in 24 hour period. that is the highest we've seen. this is as we refined people every day right now this to be expected until we hit the apex, until we hit the threshold we start to see the curve flatten we're going to see these numbers continue to climb. pete: we mentioned doctors and their advice this morning. we will get to questions with them all morning long. the big doctor, dr. fauci said yesterday at the podium, this is as about a difficult of a time as we're going to face. this is the clarity from dr. fauci yesterday. >> we're going to be seeing deaths will continue to go up. at the same time we may be seeing an increase in deaths we want to focus the effect of mitigation is really number of new cases and that is what we'll be thinking about and looking about. when people are separated from each other virus does not transmit. it doesn't go anywhere.

i plea as i do multiple times from here to the american public. you know, as sobering and as difficult as this is what we are doing is making a difference. so we really need to continue to do that. pete: amazing, guys in the depths of this you want to look for big solutions, ultimately we hear time and time again, wash your hands, don't touch your face, maintain social distancing, and do time. that is how you stop a virus from spreading. griff: you know we talked so much about the health aspects, of course the economic aspect. interesting moment we've been watching these briefings every day, yesterday president trump signaled support for a second coronavirus task force to get the economy moving again. jillian: that's right. this as house speaker nancy pelosi hopes to get a fourth coronavirus relief bill on the floor this month. pete: wow. garrett tenney joins us live with more on the measure. garrett, good morning? reporter: good morning to y'all. there is growing consensus congress is going to work on a

fourth fill in response to the coronavirus. in a letter to her colleagues house speaker nancy pelosi said the next piece of legislation will double down on the 2 trillion-dollar relief package congress recently passed extending and papassing assistance to go small businesses and workers and stemming the fight to stop the pandemic. pelosi wrote our communities cannot wait. it is my hope we will quickly craft the legislation to bring it to the floor later this month. the economy is pretty much on the mind of president trump as well, on saturday he is considering an idea tweeted out by our own dana perino, suggesting he create a second task force focused solely on the longer term goal of reopening the economy. >> thinking about getting a group of people. we have to open our country. you know, i had an expression, the cure can't be worse than the problem itself, right?

i still say that, and i continue to say it, the cure cannot be worse than the problem itself. we have got to get our country open. reporter: important to note that despite that desire to reopen the country president trump said he is not going to be changing the recommendations from his task force to maintain the social distancing guidelines through the end of this month. back to you all. pete: garrett, thank you very much. i appreciate the report. i feel like the president's instincts, have been correct from the beginning. you have to listen to the experts from the health care side but my goodness, if you're crushing the economy in the process and not being intentionally as possible, frankly as quickly as possible, in targeted way as possible you create more harm. i love he says the cure condition not be worse than the problem itself a second task force might be the way to go. good on dana perino for

suggesting that. i'm hearing from small businesses and others listen, our approach going forward has to be as targeted as possible, because for younger people who built up immunity or who can sustain this, we'll talk to doctors about, there are places around the world where a more targeted approach is working and business isn't being hit as hard. the president is hearing that. wants to make sure we protect a vulnerable population while also restarting our economy as quickly as we can. griff: talk about the whole business, there is a lot of anxiety and uncertainty, pete, right? this is what you're addressing there. there is second task force already existing, mnuchin, navarro, kudlow, scalia, they're already doing what this task force i think would do. perino's suggestion which is quite brilliant would help streamline the messaging. we've become accustomed getting information we need from fauci, from birx. you do the same with the same people already solving the

problem but it helps streamline the messaging and perhaps a little easier to process for the people that are suffering the most. jillian: we're lucky to get all of that messaging from all of those fantastic doctors and people who are working to self this every day. i think a lot of people, as you talk to people in the public, some people are frustrated it did take us in a lot of people's opinion a little bit longer to get to that point. there is no point looking back at this point. we have done so much as a country. we are making progress as you hear doctors say every day this is working. the economy will get back on track. you hear everybody say that we don't know when, we don't know how but it is the united states and we will get back on track. everyone needs to do their part. we need to listen to the doctors, to stay patient. when you have the moments where you're frustrated, we get it, because we all have it too, because we are together. pete: the more we learn we should be frustrated with beijing and china waiting to

tellworld about this. i love 10 shen between medical leaders and business leaders. he is articulating ten shun at podium. getting to the world's experts will get us to the balance we need. griff as you mentioned early on is palm sunday. worldwide services will be on hold. you have thoughts how we can look at this, as the pope holds his service at the vatican alone. how should we be thinking about it today? griff: this day of course marks that the jesus rode in on the donkey in jerusalem. he knew what was coming, right? he knew he would face his own death. the first steps towards his own death. yet, death the ultimate, terrible experience he conqueredded. we know he would conquer death. so i think what palm sunday today, jillian and pete signifies is hope, real hope that there is something on the other side of the pandemic. that the entire globe is

suffering. no one is immune from this. and when the pope talks about his message this year, there is no negotiating with the cross. you either believe or you don't. this is a time you must put trust that we are going to conquer this. trust that we'll get through this. and it comes almost perfectly on the day that the president says the worst is coming, right now, this week. jillian: pete i think you would echo the sentiment, you too, griff, now more than ever when we need the faith, we need the hope, you mentioned, that trust as you mentioned, griff and that prayer. i think everybody needs it right now. a lot of people are upset they can't go to the normal palm sunday services but what is so important right now is coming together in all of our faith. pete: very much so, griff, i think you missed a calling as a pastor. griff: no. pete: you hit it perfectly the our own human frailty, we realize our lives on earth are limited and finite.

only faith in jesus christ and our savior ultimately redeem us and save us. looking at the health care officials right now, praying on top of, on the rooftop as they endure the toughest of moments on the front lines we go into this week as you said, griff, knowing the deaths will be higher. the president talking about that from the podium. yet the hope is, because of our unity, we can come out the other end stronger into a new horizon. certainly that is the message of jesus on the cross as we get to easter sunday. but today a week before palm sunday and we hold all the hope in the world that jesus gave us on this day as well. jillian: absolutely. by the way the picture you were looking at, we'll have one of them joining us later in the show. stay tuned for that. listen to what the president had to say on palm sunday. >> palm sunday, tomorrow, think of it, we're not going to churches on palm sunday. think of next sunday, easter. but easter sunday, palm sunday, i will be watching tomorrow,

live from riverside, california, great church but, i'm going to be watching on a computer, right, on a laptop. i think on easter maybe i will be watching from a laptop as opposed -- so how sad is it that we have easter, palm and easter sunday and people are watching on laptops and computers. it's sad. but the job this whole country has done is amazing. jillian: it is sad. here is the thing we have to remember. how fortunate are we live in the country we can watch the services on all of our devices, that we have access to all of that. we need to remember that. a lot of people can't do that and we can. so we should cherish that. pete: go ahead, griff. griff: we are all now isolated. you know what? jesus was isolated when he rode into jerusalem. the message of hope we talked about, maybe it is a time, if you're having to sit to watch your service on a laptop, also

time for reflection. pete: amen. well-said, griff. stay with us all morning long as we cover all angles of this, certainly palm sunday. jillian: in the meantime let's look at other headlines we're following, starting with this a police officer and two others shot overnight in a hostage situation in florida. police say the gunman started shooting while barricaded inside of a home with a nine-year-old boy. the officer is expected to survive. conditions of the other victims are unclear. investigators say the gunman is still barricaded inside of the home. we'll keep you updated. fdny veteran loses his battle with the coronavirus. deputy chief inspector, served in the department for 22 years. he was of many fdny members who helped clean up ground zero after the 9/11 terror attacks. he is the second department member to die from covid-19. 10 employees of the new york pd have died from the coronavirus disease.

the rubble. that was inspiring to me. when i became a nurse, that is what i wanted to do. jillian: when you think back to when your mom would tell you stories after 9/11, did you ever think you would be in a situation right now where the world, our country needs you, as it does? >> i never in my life dreamed that this woe be the thing we need to respond to. jillian: it is incredible. monica, you're an icu news. what have you seen so far? >> patients are very sick. they are the sickest i've taken care of in my whole nursing career. i started three years ago. these patients, they are sick. jillian: monica, how great is the need, and why did you decide to volunteer? >> i got a call from hca, and asked if i was available to come down and i said, sure, i can help out anywhere. and i guess i did not know when i signed up what i was really getting into.

taking our questions, informing people, thank you so much. but these studies are really quite informative. tell me about it. >> initially, griff, we got the data out of china suggested only seniors with underlying medical condition with lung disease and arbitrate disease were at risk for death and dying. 54% of the icu admins are under age of 54. what does that tell you? it tells us this disease, this virus can affect anyone. last night i had my youngest patient ever, cute little, adorable 2 1/2-year-old boy, high fever, 105. i had to treat him for pneumonia. to make sure get his temperature down. make sure he got fluids and was drinking and make sure he wasn't going into respiratory distress. this virus can definitely affect anyone. you're absolutely right. the data shows us it is affecting men more so than women. i think that is multifactorial.

men, they tend not to seek medical care as soon as women. also more men smoke than women. the study also shows that there could be a chromosome influence and a hormonal influence. the estrogen in women may have some protective factors and also the fact that women are more prone and suffer more in regards to autoimmune diseases than men may play a role. we definitely have to pay closer attention to our male, our male patients because they are at a higher risk as well. griff: fascinating. let's get to questions from our viewers here. cynthia on facebook ask this, they are recommending only people with symptoms be tested but testing people who are asymptomatic be the solution to slowing down the spread of the virus? >> absolutely. i wish we could test and swab everyone. that would be a dream and i'm hoping we can get to that step, you know eventually, just that right now, we have such a shortage of swabs. of all my patients that i saw

yesterday, only maybe able to swab 10% of them barely. when we get to the point where we have enough testing supplies, you're absolutely right. being able to test those who are asymptomatic and just exposed to someone with coronavirus is essential because you know, if somebody knows they're positive, they're more likely to self-isolate and take those precautions to prevent spread to other people, absolutely. i'm hoping we get to the point where we test and swab everyone. griff: you talk about getting to that point, here is an email from nancy. she asks, when the curve of the virus declines will we resume regular routines, and treat it like any other flu season? >> we want to see a sustained reduction in the cases of coronavirus and rye introduction of number of hospitalizations and deaths but the question is how long, two weeks of reduction or four weeks? i believe dr. fauci, dr. birx would like see reduction of cases, reduction of spikes four

weeks before we have can resume. we don't want to relax on social distancing and physical distancing guidelines too soon or we will have second wave. we don't want a second wave. we don't want a peak or a spike. we have to be careful not to relax the distancing guidelines too soon. i hate to say that, griff, we're not even near that point, griff. we need to get you there the current peak and the current spike. griff: that is a good point. dr. nesheiwat. dr. birx says it is not the time to rush out to the grocery stores or pharmacies as much. thank you for coming on. >> have a good day. griff: coming up, army medical personnel answer the call to fight a battle here at home. retired marine corps bomb technician joey jones with what the expanded new role means for the future of our military. stay tuned. so late.re always i do not speed.

let me get your reaction we're deploying military personnel into new york city. what do you make of this? >> first of all, let me say probably not many in the country understand the receiving end of military medical like i do and some of my peers did who were blown up overseas. let me say, they're the absolute best. i recovered. i was stitched up at walter reed. back then it was just an army hospital and did a lot of my recovery over at bethesda which is a navy hospital. those are the best in the business, they truly are. i think we have army units from kentucky and texas going to new york. we have one from colorado, i believe going to seattle. none of this surprises me. no one can mobilize, move, stay organized and get things done, like our military so this is a great mission. a little bit unprecedented in modern times anyway to do it here at home but something i'm very proud of these men and women for. jillian: joey, i want to hit on that point.

this is question i asked pete yesterday. you mentioned this is here at home. you've been overseas. you fought for our country. you fought over there, you know your family members you're fighting for are back here and protected because of you and everybody else you're alongside. it is different, i imagine it is different when here at home you know the threat is very real of your loved ones getting this virus. how does that play mentally? >> listen, i woke up with a sense of deja vu, maybe epiphany. i've been here before. i've been in this situation where every day is ma not news, almost boring, but something that can kill you around the corner at all times. that carrier of something that could kill you looks like everybody else. back then it was ieds and today it is coronavirus. what pete can tell you we fought and fought those wars and lived in the situations because no one here will ever have to. it breaks my heart to know it is here on our shores attacking our people and it is surreal beyond

that, because putting on a military uniform is not how much you get on the front lines to attack the virus. we realize we're in a support role now. we're not the first ones there. that is our medical professionals. it is humbling and reassuring you don't have to go to boot camp or officer candidate school to learn what true patriotism is and be there on the front lines fighting for your men and women in this nation. that is what the medical professionals are doing. in that respect. it makes me feel really good about this country and people in it. griff: joey, let me ask you a little bit about recruitment. at this time we could use more rather than less. if we show you what is going on now statisticwise, marines reached 40% of recruitment goal of 37,000 this year. what do you make of it? >> i think i've lost audio with you guys but i can sigh the graphic on the screen. talks about recruitment goals, just let me say real quick if i

can, this virus has completely halted recruitment in the military. we can't go to schools. we can't go to colleges. we can't go to malls. we can't go places we would go to recruit people. furthermore the recruit training stations are closed down because of the virus. as the miller terri role expands the ability to backfill isn't there. we have retired personnel coming in the medical field to backfill the army hospitals because you don't have nurses in training going to boot camp ready to come in and do that it is amazing thing the military is amazing to do, bringing in retired people to backfill. because they will not train new recruits, new officers while this virus is attacking everyone. for that i commend them as well. it is not easy thing to do. even our high school graduations are postponed. those that want to go to the military, made contact with recruiters can't graduate high school and make it there. it is taxing all around, knowing men and women are stepping up to get it done. god bless our military.

most importantly, god bless america. jillian: what is professional he is. he losings audio. goes seamlessly and perfectly. joey, i know you can't hear us. griff: amazing. well-played. pete: reading off the graphic. ready for the next level, no doubt. the closure issue as it pertains to the uss theodore roosevelt. the president went to the podium to back up the navy. here is what the president said yesterday from the podium. >> he wrote a letter. a letter was five-page letter from a captain and the letter was all over the place. that is not appropriate. i don't think that's appropriate. i thought it looked terrible to be honest with you. they made their decision. i didn't make the decision but i agree with their decision 100%. griff: jillian: pete, what do you think about that? pete: you know the letter certainly crossed a line. we don't know what led the captain to that line. we know he was adamantly against a port call in vietnam that

ultimately led to the spread of coronavirus and his superiors disagreed with him. listen i learned to be quite skeptical of the official line from the military, especially from the navy as it pertains to others and conduct. so i got to see more information here. i mean the way captain was received by his crew, clearly he was beloved, which means he probably put them first, which ultimately isn't always what the navy or other military institutions put first. we got to know more here. we got to know more. griff: pete, if you look kind of what we do know, we know that the navy secretary wanted to send a message, you cannot go out of the chain of command but yet it united as we see, it united his crew on the ship. pete: fair enough. if you're sounding the alarm around superiors are not taking it seriously the health of your crew is at risk, you take an extraordinary measure, he knew his job would be on the line if he did this. we'll see how it goes.

jillian: 155 additional sailors have tested positive. that is something to keep in mind.

♪. pete: welcome back, guys. you know it is palm sunday. it is the beginning of holy week. indulge me in a moment because "fox nation" is going in big on faith. there is holy week series i am a part of that i narrate.

there is something dropping today the third installment of my battle series in israel. this is battle of the holy land. the first one was about the battle city about jerusalem and temple denial. the battle of bethlehem about the birthplace of jesus how christians are being pushed out. this battle in the holy land is about settlements, judea and samaria, the west bank, and fight over those holy lands with settlers and others. here is a small clip from "battle in the holy land." where i'm standing is the front edge of the judea and is a march i can't heights which overlook israel proper. jerusalem, ben gurion airport and mediterranean sea. 70% of the israel's population and industrial base can be seen at this point. whoever controls the hills of judea and is sam -- samaria

controls israel. we got ourself in a dicey situation. there was a rye wrote broke out right before we got there. we thought it was okay to go through. boy were we wrong. here is a quick clip. this is active scene, big time. we're in the middle of it. it was a tense scene. as we drove past the smoldering tires that had blocked the road a few minutes earlier, we soon discovered how quickly things can get ugly. unbee knowns to us the riot was still going on which was triggered by israeli counterterrorism raid into ramallah the night before. pete, you didn't expect that, right? pete: that is a good tease. the best footage you did not see. our cars were surrounded by men in masks. colors and writing indicated affiliations. we got caught with the rdf and

rioters. we were hiding, until they saw the camera on the car. that made us the focus of attention where it got more interesting. griff: getting caught in between a riot between two sides is no place you want to be. can't tease us. give us more what we're going to see because your miliatry instincts i'm gathering kicked in a little bit as commander. you have to make quick decisions. pete: you're unarmed, in civilian car in city you don't know. israeli defense forces were far away. they were not coming to get us. there was a mob of 300 palestinian youths with hezbollah affiliations. we were going nowhere. thankfully our driver made quick moves but not until equipment was damaged. diceyest two minutes i ever had. griff, you have been to these places. "fox nation," battle in the holy land, available right now. there is action but it tells a deeper story at this holy time about a special place. jillian: thankfully it was only two minutes, pete. pete: what? jillian: we're thankful it was

only two minutes. pete: you and me both. griff: "battle in the holy land. watch it this palm sunday. three busy hours. congressman devin nunes, congressman jeff van drew, ben watson and the doctors all on deck. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath

any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

>> we will move heaven and earth to safeguard our great american citizens. we will continue to use every power, every authority, every single resource we've got to keep our people healthy, safe, secure, and to get this thing over with. we have want to finish this war. we have to get back to work. we have to get, we have to open our country again. griff: we begin with a fox news alert. president trump vowing to protect americans as he warns of a tough week ahead in the coronavirus pandemic. more than 1300 people have died nationwide since yesterday morning is. jillian: the total number of deaths more than 8,000 as cases surpass 300,000 across the country.

the covid-19 task force warning the number of u.s. deaths could spike this week in covid-19 hot spots. griff: pete: the white house pleading with americans to follow social distancing guidelines as we get through this crisis together. as we say at fox, we're america together. good morning griff in washington d.c. jillian mele with me in studio f, just on a different floor. and we join you this morning what is palm sunday. we sternly, griff, you had a beautiful message in the officers hour. i will fores you every hour to share it with the audience. how are you reflecting on palm sunday? griff: positive, pete, with hope. that is the message when jesus rode into jerusalem on a donkey he knew he would face his own death, his first steps towards his own death. what did he do? he conquered death, ultimate triumphant, ultimate victory. as we're told about it officials, the president, that will be the toughest week we've endured yet. we've been doing this for what feels like a long time. people are starting to lose

faith. there is never more important time to have resolve toe find the faith because jeeves sus wasn't afraid. he won. we'll get through this. that is what officials are telling us. this palm sunday you're watching on a laptop your service or streaming it, have hope, have some uplifting elation when we get through this we'll look back and pray, pray for the fact that perhaps god is empowering these nurses, doctors and front line health care workers on this day and this week. >> that's right, you mentioned hope. we have to have hope that we will win this battle sooner rather than later. we have to have faith in all of our health care workers. we have to have faith especially on this palm sunday but every single day. pete: absolutely. all god's people said amen, griff. very well-said. we need the hope. we understand our human nature is fragile and jesus gives us that hope for sure. what we also hope for? that our doctors are right there on it on the front lines and taking care of people.

jillian: and they are. pete: they are. let's bring in dr. nicole saphier, fox news contributor. she joins us this morning. thanks for being with us on this palm sunday. i hope you enjoy griff's message as much as i did. we have to get your take. >> where would this all be if we didn't have hope? pete: 100%. i want to get your take on conditions of hospitals, situation with ventilators. we're looking emerging hot spots in pennsylvania, colorado, washington, d.c. we're looking at spikes in different places. where are we medically, not just here in new york, a lot of focus in new york, but across the country as we look where we are? >> i can tell you everyone is starting to feel it, you're having increased cases, increased hospitalizations and also increased deaths. as we're talking about hope on this palm sunday morning it is important to point out, all of sudden we're seeing people coming together in terms of ventilators. the chinese government is already sending a 1000 ventilators over. the governor of oregon announced they will send over 140 or 150

ventilators to directly to new york city. this is what we need to see, people coming together internationally or locally or in our own country. when people step up to help others that is what really is, what it is all about, right? this is a, virus itself is a foreign adversary. it is foreign to all human life forms. we as humans need to come together to try to tackle this virus. i can say we're finally starting to see research put out by our own researchers and scientists and doctors that are really giving me a lot more idea of what we can expect with this virus. jillian: so what do you think we can expect then based off that research? where are we in your opinion on this timeline of trying to get this curve flattened? >> well, you know it really depends where we're talking about within our country. i can tell you one of my best friend lives in small town texas, small town, west texas, yesterday was the first time she walked on her ranch in 20 days because she hadn't left the

hospital. a lot of people are feeling worked and there is a lot of patients coming in, but it its important president trump and doctors birx and fauci tell people to expect more deaths specifically this coming week. the reason i continue to try to explain that to people is, although the rates of hospitalizations are going down, that is a good thing. that means that fewer and fewer people are having to be hospitalized specifically in the hot spots like new york every day but we're going to start seeing more deaths and let me explain why. because of the people having to be in the icu on the ventilators, they are being kept on ventilators anywhere one to four weeks and at some point they will have to come off the ventilators. they will either survive or they're either going to die. some of the reports coming out of china and uk, showing mortality rates of fatality rates of people dying are 60, to 90% of people on ventilators. thankfully here in the united states, that number varies. study came out of washington

showed they had 50% fatality rate which is obviously much better than they're seeing elsewhere. so the people who have been on the ventilators for several weeks now are going to have to come out. they're going to have to come off, yes, we're going to see some deaths this week. that is also going to mean ventilators will be freeing up. griff: i want dr. saphier reacting to dr. birx yesterday warning about reemerging hot spots and reconsidering going to the grocery store. listen. >> this is the moment to do everything that you can on the presidential guidelines. this is the moment to not be going to the grocery store, not going to the pharmacy, doing everything you can to keep your family and your friend safe. that means everybody doing the six feet distancing, washing your hands. griff: dr. saphier, do you agree? >> you know, i absolutely agree. right now, griff, we're looking long island, new jersey where i am, detroit, louisiana, they're all seeing rapid increase in cases right now. we know up to 50% of people who

are infected may be asymptomatic spreading the virus. crucial, crucial, crucial, to be socially distancing. i is not just if you're sick you need to stay home. every one please try to distance yourself from other people. that being said, if you have to go to the grocery store, have to go to the pharmacy, see what you do contactless delivery. grocery stores are delivering, they are having special hours people can go in. staggering how many people go in. these are smart things to do. you should not stay in the home if you need something outs side the home but there are options you can get things you need being safe as possible. jillian: absolutely. dr. saphier, every day in so many towns and cities across the country everybody pays tribute to the medical workers. you hear people clapping, see videos of fire departments and police departments clapping outside of hospitals, well the white house coronavirus task force paid tribute to the medical workers as well. take a listen to what they had to say. >> they're the rock stars. they're warriors.

nurses, doctors, first-responders. >> the american public owe a phenomenal debt of gratitude for these people. they should just salute them every ways you can. at the height of the war in afghanistan an iraq, you're at airport see somebody with a uniform come by, everybody do that. i think that is what we should do, see health care workers. applaud them. >> health care workers are not just doctors and nurses today. they're supplementing for family, for people all across the country. jillian: what do you say about that, dr. saphier? >> so, jillian i've always been a sucker for the videos anytime military personnel comes home see their family or children, i'm always the first person to cry. i tell you when i see some videos of people outside clapping for health carry workers and new york fireman lined up yesterday, that also really brought tears to my eyes.

the truth is, this is hitting health care workers hard. not just doctors or nurses. respiratory therapists. janitorial staff. food industry. so many people go into keeping a hospital running there is no new normal anymore. all of our hours are elongated. no longer a five-day work week. definitely seven days a week. it is really nice and important to remember and cherish these people for the people what we're doing, it's hard. it is really hard because you deal with a lot of illness and you do see death. it is important that, you know, you internalize it. you really just process it the best you can while also trying to keep yourself and your family safe. so just being in these moments of recognition are really crucial. i think it is wonderful that americans are combing together. pete: absolutely. we're thinking about everything you do, and your colleagues do right there on the front lines. i want to ask a more particular question if i could, we'll get viewer questions as well.

friends@foxnews.com. this graphic breaks down, a little confusing but effectively says there are two phases to the illness. the majority only suffer phase one which lasts seven days. one in seven suffer phase two, begins day six, lasts three weeks, death wait up to 1 to 2%. vast majority of people going seven-day symptoms fade into mild cough and go away, what is the realization there is a phase one that most people barely notice or move through quickly, then they're immune? how does this inform what we should do as a society as we look to open things up eventually? the president saying, hey, the cure can't be worse than the problem, how do we manage moving forward with the younger population, healthier population as businesses struggle right now as well? >> well, this is great, graphics, everything is starting to come out of u.s. data. before we've been dependent on chinese reporting as well as some other countries reporting.

as we know some of it actually hasn't been that accurate. so stuff coming out of our own data here which i tend to trust a lot more. what it is showing there is a large majority of people which we already knew, 80 to 90% who will just get mild symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breaths, chills, body aches and the far majority will have symptoms of five days being exposed to the virus. those symptoms will resolve within two weeks that means potentially after the two weeks, why they were talking about the 14 day quarantine, they may have conferred immunity at that point. they may be able to go out, possibly not get reinfected. if they do, it will be even less mild. now that is not to say though that some people won't have a more severe course. the people that have a more severe course, higher fevers, shortness of breath, into evidencing to be hospitalized potentially or even in the icu, their symptoms can last three, four, even up to five weeks. so it is really important to try to tell the difference. far majority of people, somewhere up to 88% will have a

fever which is why scanning for fevers has been so important but it is important to remember that up to 50% of people can be asymptomatic. those asymptomatic people are thought to be infectious for maybe two weeks. so that is why these anti-body tests are so important so we know who can start going back to work and start opening up the economy again. >> absolutely. griff: dr. saphier, thank you very much. you have the six screens off to the side still working i think. >> one two, three, four, five, six, yes i do. keeping busy. griff: thank you. pete: we still have a big show in front of us. representative devin nunes from california. jeff van drew, former democrat turned republican. jeff landry from louisiana, benjamin watson and dr. marc siegel. we'll answer your questions ahead. jillian: we'll look at several headlines we're following. several coronavirus patients are taken to navy hospital ship.

usns comfort by mistake. u.s. officials telling fox news less than five patients were transferred to the ship in new york city on friday. at the time initial screenings did not indicate they were positive for covid-19. officials say risk to the ship's crew is low because of protocols already in place. the ship is used for non-coronavirus patients to free up hospitals in the area. we'll continue to follow that for you. meantime, there is this. u.s. postal workers are demanding hazard pay amid the covid-19 pandemic a petition on change.org nearing the goal of 500,000 signatures supporting more pay for all usps employees. it reads in part, we are essential during this epidemic. we should be paid for it. the online petition says postal workers have not been given protection against covid-19 like hand sanitizer and face masks. firefighters going to great heights for a crew member with covid-19. miami fire rescue using a ladder to surprise the firefighter at a

hospital. they held up get well soon cards and a sign reading your new firehouse. the firefighter was hospitalled more than a week while i battles the virus. that is incredible. more stories at foxnews.com/americatogether. we wish the firefighter well. griff: several cruise ships carrying coronavirus patients. we're oscar mayer deli fresh, and you may remember us from your very first sandwich, your move-in-day feast, your bold canine caper, your dinner in the dark, your mammoth masterpiece, (whispering) your 3:47am snack,

what they issued of all of last year. like they did 28 billion in 2019. now we're asking them to do $350 billion through these lenders so a lot of confusion, a lot of anger, a lot of frustration. i believe over the ensuing hours, a lot of that stuff, next, 24, 48,2 hours, a lot of the stuff will get smoothed out. it is an ambitious project and it is something we have never undertaken before. there are some legitimate complaints but i think we'll smooth it all out. pete: we'll bring questions. greg, you opened a business in december. you opened it the right way. business was doing well. you have taken a serious hit. greg, tell us a little bit about your background and the question you have for charles. >> good morning, thank you for having me, pete. good morning, charles. you said it spot on. my wife around i saved our entire lives. we've been working our entire lives. we saved, opened a very popular fast casual franchise in

south florida. everything was going great. we're not naive. we know businesses can fail but we did our homework. again it was a very popular franchise here. and it was going just fine. so i think, charles, obviously said it best when he said this is unprecedented. nobody has been through a crisis like this before. we recognize that. my question is, and, the administration is going through this large bailout right now, i'm sure there will be kinks and they will work that out, my question is, when you get, when you take an sba loan, and we took an sba loan, we used our savings, money from the 401(k) to put the deposit down, when you take an sba loan they want you to sign the house as collateral, personally guarranty everything, our sba loan is federal agency. sba is federal agency and federal government shut the country down which i completely support our president doing so. is our is the sba going to look back and say well, if my business fails and it doesn't

come back, when the country opens back up again, i don't know if anyone can predict that will they still come after my home because the business failed? >> you know, greg it is a great question. traditionally is the ba loans are often backed by personal collateral like a home. the sba loan can be disclarked in bankruptcy but a lien against your house would be in place. those are the kind of things you would have to negotiate in the process. offer and compromise is a period you negotiate that. before you get to that point, considering these loans, new payroll protection plans because these loans are not backed by a personal guarranties or collateral. so we're talking about getting up to $100,000 per employee f you're retaining employees, as many as you can there are provisions for you to have a large part of this forgiven. so, you know, i would focus less on you know losing your house right now and more on keeping the business and taking full advantage of this brand new

program. pete: greg, i think you have a question relating to that as well? >> so we're looking into the ppp loan. we have a great bank we do business with, small bank here in florida, paradise bank here in florida, they have been wonderful. we have haven't officially applied yet. we got the paperwork yesterday. i'm not sure, the ppp loan i think in my case will be a bandaid. sba considers small businesses 500 employees or less. we're much smaller side of that. we are 20 employees, 25. i'm not sure if i qualify for more than $100,000 which, sounds like a lot of money. it is two times your 12 meant payroll. our payroll is about $50,000 a month at peak. so we may get $100,000 which would certainly help. i'm just, if the economy doesn't bounce back, my, we'll get through the next 30 days. we haven't laid anyone off. we're proud of that. we lost some people because they feel unsafe coming in, but we haven't laid off a single

employee. we love our employees. that will certainly help and get us through, hopefully the country will open back up in 30 days. my concern, what happens after that, when that money runs out. pete: charles, your thoughts. >> here is couple things, i'm not necessarily sure about the formula that you mentioned. i have seen eight weeks and then there will be a multiplier effect on that as well. so make sure, here's the thing, don't discount this out of hand. you know, i think you actually wobble gable for more than just 100,000 or even 200,000, which by the way could be a pretty good bridge to where you want to go. these are short term loans. president trump and the administration understand what is going on. congress as well. listen, i believe they will reload the thing. i believe terms and conditions are going to evolve in your favor. so i would say to any small business out there, particularly smaller you are, please take advantage of this, please. griff: greg, thank you for sharing. we have to leave it right there.

one quick last word, greg. >> i just wanted to say thank you very much. we're certainly looking into all the options. i support our president and his team. i wish everybody the best. pete: thank you so much. real quick -- >> pete, give quick public service announcement on this. friday at 10:00 treasury department allowed non-profit and faith based groups to access this program. that was not in it. it is brand new. that includes you, folks, look into it immediately. pete: that is important addition, non-profits charities, churches a part of this as well. charles, thank you for leading the way. providing information all of our viewers need. greg as well. >> thank you, guys. pete: you got it. all flags in new jersey ordered to fly at half-staff indefinitely to honor those lives lost during the pandemic. new jersey congressman jeff van drew with an update how the garden state is coping with the crisis.

>> this will be probably the toughest week, between this week and next week, and there'll be a little bit of death, unfortunately, but a lot less death than if this wasn't done. we want to save lives. we want as few lives lost as possible. =jl fox news alert now, president trump warning of a tough week in the u.s., in the coronavirus pandemic. take a look at your screen, more than 1300 people have died nationwide since yesterday morning, the most in one day. pete: the total number now more than 8,000 as nationwide cases surpass 300,000. this as the white house task force warns of a spike in deaths this week in covid-19 hot spots. griff: one of those hot spots, new york, receiving additional help. president trump deploying 1,000 military personnel as oregon and china send more than 1,000

ventilators to new york. i'm in d.c. with president and jillian in new york. pete: we want to to e mow who's going to be on the show, representative deaf knew yes, sir -- deafen knew yesterday, so on this palm sunday we're going -- we've got two more big hours of "fox & friends". the last part of that read was china sending some ventilators. it's about time china did something after the months of denial and then delay and now public deception that they've shown. it's not just our dependency on their, on drugs from china, it's what they did to deceive the world health organization, alongside the world health organization, and then our general public, make -- making us much more vulnerable. but we're moving past that because we're dealing with it

here whether we like it or not. jillian: and we have a number of extremely impressive doctors who are working this every day, they are keeping us updated on the newest information. dr. fauci says this is going to be a difficult timement take a listen. >> we're going to be seeing that there are going to be deaths that are going to continue to go up. at the same time that we may be seeing an increase in deaths, we want to focus on the effect of mitigation is really the number of new cases. and that's what we're going to be thinking about and looking about. when people are separated from each other, virus does not transmit. it doesn't go anywhere. and i want to actually just plead, as i do multiple times from here, to the american public. you know, as sobering and as difficult as this is, what we are doing is making a difference. so we with really need to continue to do that. jillian: you know, griff, we hear dr. a fauci say the deaths are going to go up, but you also hear doctors on our programming

every single day say what we are doing is working. so that's what's so important right now. people can sometimes get a little stir crazy, you want to get out, but we have to -- now is the time we have to continue on this path and doing what we're doing because it is making a difference. griff: that's the message from the health experts, but it is also the economy that we have to have dual concerns about. president trump now is signaling support for a second coronavirus task force to get that economy moving again. jillian: that's right. this as house speaker nancy pelosi hopes to get a fourth coronavirus relief bill on the floor this month. pete: garrett tenney joins us live with more on the measure. garrett, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, y'all. there is growing consensus that the country's going to need more help from the federal government to weather and e eventually recover from this pandemic. this would be the fourth bill congress has passed in response to the coronavirus. and in a letter to her colleagues saturday, house speaker nancy pelosi said the

legislation will focus on expanding and extending the $2 trillion relief package that was just signed into law. stressing the urgency of the situation, she wrote: our communities cannot afford to wait, and we must move quickly. it is my hope that we will draft this legislation and bring it to the floor later this month. the economy is very much on the mind of president trump as well, and on saturday he said he is considering an idea with put out by our own dana perino, creating a second task force focused solely on the long-term recovery of the nation's economy. >> thinking about it. getting a group of people, and we have to open our country. you know, i had an expression the cure can't be worse than the problem itself, right? i started by saying that. and i continue to say it. the cure cannot be worse than the problem itself. we've got to get our country open. >> reporter: the last two weeks alone unemployment claims

have skyrocketed to nearly 10 million, and officials here and abroad are warning that economically and in terms of health, this is going to get worse before it can start to get better. that is why officials here in the u.s., in the administration and congress are already looking to see what more with they do to -- more can they do to get ahead of this problem. back to y'all. pete: a lot of the problem we got ourselves in is we couldn't count on the data coming out of communist china, death rates, infection rates, because it was all false. as we learn more about our own on country and our own studies and scientists and doctors, that's the information we can use to leverage this tension between the economy and our health. and you can see it in the president, every day when he talks, he wants to reopen for our small business owners. that's where his heart is, but he knows he has to and should listen to our scientists and doctors as well. so this idea of a second task force, to me, makes a lot of sense so that we're finding the

opportunities to open where welcome with. i've taken criticism before for saying the more we learn about this, the less anxious i feel about it. i still feel that way. not because we're not seeing deaths, we are, and they're tragedy you can. but we know where the curve is going. the more we know, the more we can be smart about mitigating it, and we can take the prudent measures to open up where we can. griff: yeah. on the flipside, may 8th is when the april jobs numbers are going to come out. and what we saw this week with 700,000 is nothing, nothing compared to what we're going to see. pete: exactly. griff: if we are in some areas able to flatten that curve perhaps in some areas by may 8th, you've got to deal with perhaps the onset of the tragedy, this befalling economy. so this idea of a task force makes so much sense. dana perino is spot on, because as we begin to flatten the curve, you're going to have to

have -- did we mention the navarros, the scalias out there trying to walk us through that pain which is going to be the shoe to fall. that's going to hurt. jillian: every day is different, right? every day we're learning new information. it's hard to imagine where we're going to be in this country in the development and the information that we get and our knowledge in the next month, right? because you've had doctors for the last week or so talking about, you know, testing for antibodies to see if we build up the antigenerals in our blood. and then you heard the president say if it's possible at some point to learn who's had it and who hasn't, maybe you get people back to work. there is still a lot out there that could change over the course of the next month. myself personally, i'm remaining hopeful that a a lot of that new information is going to help us. president new drugs that have shown good signs of being effective. we barely account for innovation, and that's happening at such rapid speed thanks to

public/private partnerships that, hopefully, there's a game-changer out there. and also the more we don't know, the more we learn about who this affects, who we need to shelter, the most vulnerable, and maybe we can work on those side by side at the same time. but, griff, it's palm sunday, and jillian so rightfully pointed to hope. you've got a great way of looking at the holy week. the pope will be celebrating mass at the vatican alone. what are you thinking about? griff: well, it is a message of hope, and you're right, i've been with talking about it all morning. he cop kerred it. he conquered it. the pope in st. peter's basilica was giving his message, i've been following that mass. he said the father held jesus in his service. he did not take away the evil but, rather, strengthened him so

he could conquer it. i tell you, we have to strengthen in our suffering because everyone is suffering, but there is hope, and that is the message at the beginning of holy week. jillian: absolutely. you talk about the hope that we have for our country, you talk about the hope that we have for our medical workers, that they can, you know, continue to get through this, that they can stay positive, that they can mentally stay healthy because they're doing with so much right now. and i did take that message of hope, pete, from gruff. [laughter] it's a message we all need to remember today. especially especially today as we continue on what you hear the president say is going to be a very tough week. you know, keep that in mind as we go into this week. it's not going to be easy. pete: totally right. these moments humble us, and jesus on the cross, you know, also gives us hope that in the darkest of days, we can move past it. our leaders are talking about the dark days coming, and the hope is that together with the resilient spirit, with faith in

god and jesus and this easter season, we can move into another, another phase of life in america. the president talked about it yesterday, talked about how different this is going to be. it's not going to be a regular church service, and he certainly acknowledged that. watch. >> palm sunday, tomorrow. think of it. we're not going to churches on palm sunday. but think of next sunday, easter. but easter sunday, palm sunday, i'm going to be watching tomorrow live from riverside, california, great church. but i'm going to be watching on a computer. right? on a laptop. i think on easter maybe i'll be watching from a laptop as opposed -- so how sad is it that we have easter palm and easter sunday and people are watching on laptops and computers? it's sad. but the job job is that this whole country has done is amazing. jillian: and to add to that,

here's a tweet from ohio governor mike dewine, and it says, quote, it marks the triumphal entrance of jesus into jerusalem. it begins holy week. it's going to be a different palm sunday because we cannot gather together. it is much too dangerous. and we can see that photo attached to it. i said something in the last hour, and i still believe it to be true. on this day you can't gather and go to services as you normally would, but you have to remember, you know, you have other ways of gathering. and i know, you know, we always say that technology, we need to limit it, but now is a time that need to utilize it to be able to facetime when you can, skype where you can and share your message of hope and faith and your services with those that you normally would just from a distance. and we can still do that. pete: what's reassuring about this moment is we know how the story ends. he is risen. he is risen, indeed, a week from today. jillian: let's take a look at some of your headlines.

a police officer and two others shot overnight in a deadly hostage situation in florida. police say the gunman started shooting while barricaded inside a home with a 9-year-old boy. the officer and other victims are expected to survive. investigators say the suspect was found dead inside the house. the boy, thankfully, was rescued. a cruise ship plagued by the coronavirus docking in miami. at least 12 people tested positive for covid-19. two people have died. a ship car iing more than 1,000 people was turned away from docks in south america. two patients were taken for immediate if medical attention. the infected cruise ship was the third docked in south florida this just 48 hours. target now limiting the number of people inside stores. the retailer says it will monitor guest traffic to promote social distancing. shoppers allowed will vary on each specific store, following walmart's lead after it started limiting the number of customers yesterday,and there were a number of stores arguing that.

and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

going to do what's best for them and the health of their communities either way. whether it's an order or a guideline, i don't know that it's going to make a big difference, but i do trust the golf to make those decisions just -- governor to make those decisions. i think that they know their states, they know the situation on the ground, they're very engaged and communicate very effectively. so it could happen but i do know that the decision's in the right hands when it's in the hands of the governors. jillian: we'll continue to follow that, that's for sure. you met with the president and oil executives this past week. i'm curious what you can tell us from that meeting. >> well, you know, it's interesting that the there are a number of multi-national ceos around the table who have a lot of activity here in north dakota, of course, and another independent pipeline company, energy transfer partners, who built the dakota access pipeline. and so it was a diverse group. and that diversity's reflected

in the discussion, but the one thing -- two really common threads. one is the president in his recent outreach to the crown prince of saudi arabia and, of course, vladimir putin is starting to have a rah real impact on -- a real impact on their behavior. it's really, there's nothing we can do about the demand drop as a result of the coronavirus. but what we can do something about is when supposed allies like saudi arabia take advantage by increasing its supply at a time when the united states is spending a lot of money and effort and human capital protecting their oil assets is unconscionable. and the president's outreach has been very help. the other thing is to make sure in this recovery package and whatever we're doing to bridge this difficult economic time, that our banking community realizes that the oil and gas industry's a major part of our economy, and we need assistance as well. pete: absolutely. senator kramer, thank you so much for your time, we

to be brutal. going to be worse than what we went through in 08, '09. but hopefully not where we were in the great depression, so that's unemployment somewhere between 10% and 25. that being said, this is much different. this is a technical recession. there are things that we can do into the second quarter in congress that actually allows small business to have some sort of continuity to this recovery is not an l shape, but a u shape. so a couple of things that i'm recommending, and you and i have been talking about it, is wage and credit continuity. how do you make sure small businesses are ready to go when this pandemic is behind us. and the key for that right now is what i would say, pete, we need a cares ii package if, and it has to be very focused on a few things. it has to be focused on small business and those direct workers that have been impacted.

focused, obviously, on medical and health care and then on the states. and we need it now. the $2.2 trillion was relief, but it wasn't nearly enough to make sure we can grow out of this when we're ready. pete: so you're pushing for a phase four. obviously, there was some criticism about phase three and that some of the typical washington stuff made its way into there. you're talking about a streamlined, small business focus because you new with phase three, this is only a stopgap measure. >> absolutely, pete. phase three was only $375 billion for all small businesses. we have millions of small businesses. we have over a million in retail, we have over a million restaurants, and then in the service sector whether it's salons or therapy or whatever it may be. so we have to make sure that they're to go when we're ready to go, which is why this $375 billion was way too small.

i'm talking about a trillion dollars of grants, loans and direct payments so we're ready to go, go, go. otherwise we're going to be debating, you and i, in the third quarter how did we get 20% unemployment, 30% negative gdp if ready for the third or fourth quarter. pete: yeah. >> it's not going to be because congress was on recess and we have this bipartisan bickering that never ends. so my opinion is get rid of the pork, okay? have a real package that helps real, everyday americans on what we really need to get done. pete: absolutely. well, if that's necessary, hopefully there is the bipartisan will to do it. certainly, the president's talked about wanting to open back up. briefly, real brief, you ran a bank. are the banks operating responsibly right now with the loans on phase three? >> so thanks for asking. this paycheck protection program with small business, this is going to be incredibly difficult to execute. i mean, bofa had more than

60,000 loans come in for small businesses. i think this is going to be tough to execute. i think that time is our friend, but there's a sense of urgency now. pete: certainly. >> and small business administration's really going to have a tough time handling this. so i think this is going to be a bit prolonged before we see the money get into small businesses' hands on a mass scale, which is why congress should get ready for a phase four. once we know we can execute, we should make sure we're ready. pete: well, interesting view, robert. you've been there before, you know what you're talking about. we may differ politically but, hey, we want to see everyone come out of this and not try to score political points in the process. robert wolf, thanks very much. >> thanks, pete. pete: you got it. still ahead, empty pews put small churches at risk of closing, but not if one group can help it. and if they already have one big supporter who has made his name as an nfl tight end. benjamin watson explains the new

griff: a powerful picture of hope. health care workers in tennessee captured in a moment of prayer as they face the coronavirus front lines. pete: one of those nurses told us who they were praying or -- for. >> not only our staff, our coworkers underneath us, but just the global pandemic as a whole. everyone serving on the

front lines in all essential roles across the nation. jillian: mckenzie gibson says the coronavirus, while stressful, has brought her coworkers closer together. pete: that is certainly what happens in times of crisis. great story, guys. another great story, a somber reality. on this palm sunday, small churches in low income areas are facing the threat of closing because of the pandemic. a survey finds 42% of churches say donations have decreased significantly as 20% of churches report reported cutting staff hours. jillian: that's where churches helping churches comes into play. it gives grants to small churches. philadelphia gary joining us now on the important issue is former new england patriots tight end benjamin if watson. good morning to you, happy palm sunday. >> good morning. happy palm sunday to you all as well. fruf give you're a big supporter. why?

>> about 70% of pastors have noted a decrease in gulfing, and many -- in giving. during this time of a crisis, pandemic, churches and even people in lower income communities usually suffer the most. so the idea behind the initiative is twofold. number one, it's encouragement. we want to encouragement more stable churches that are able to reach out to their communities to assist churches that are on the brink of possible closure. and then the second is, obviously, economics. we created the covid-19 church relief fund to give these $3,000 grants to these churches specifically. we have a thorough vetting process that goes through national christian foundation, and the idea is simple. it's just the body of christ to really athe body of christ in a time of need. jillian: can anyone end? >> yes, anybody can be involved. church relief.org, again, we're encouraging larger churches but also individuals who are able. i know a lot of people who are

looking for places to plug in, and so anybody is welcome. our goal is to raise $500,000 in this month of april. we've already got to $140,000, and we're looking forward to giving these grant9 out to churches in need. pete: ben, it's a beautiful mission. i need the reminder myself. you walk into church, and you're reminded to give. but when you're going online and just plugging in for the sermon and a few worship services, you might pass that step. so giving to your own church and church relief.org, it's an awesome mission. >> thank you. thank you. and really, you know, there's a lot of -- we've seen a lot of generosity. times like this, i think, bring out the best in us not only in this country, but outside of it. and if a lot of times we look across the pond, across oceans, and all that stuff is great. but i really think sometimes we need to look in our own communities. my heart goes out to so many who are suffering right now, mentally and emotionally. jillian: be the light, we can

all be the light in our own communities and do our small part. >> thank you. shining the light, sharing the light. finding where god would have you to most plug in, i think is the most important. and learning. you know, this is time for learning about what others are going through. griff: ben, i can't you go without quickly, the president talked about the return of sports. listen very quickly to this, and i want your reaction. >> i want fans back in the arenas, and the fans want to be back too. they want the see basketball and baseball and hockey. they want to see their sports. i can't tell you a date. griff: that's something to hold on to in these tough times. [laughter] >> it is. and it's two follow as well. you talk about the entertain 789 of sports, it's a unifying language. everybody can get behind sports in some capacity no matter what sport it is. it brings people together. but also there's the economic ramifications of sports not being there. we're in the middle of the baseball season supposed to be started, basketball season,

football is around the corner. right now we all see that football has been suspended. we'll have to monitor this, listen to the medical professionals about when football can start. look, i'm a football fan now that i'm not playing, i'm an even bigger fan, but when you think about the families that have been impacted by not able to work in the stadiums, not being able to work in businesses that are around game day, not being able to cover these sports, the triple-down effect has been tremendous on sports. i'm hoping we get back sooner rather than later. jillian: hey, ben, you're a former patriot, and just last week we saw the team plane going over to china to get some splice, that was really cool to see. so many athletes, including tom brady and yourself, giving back in this moment of need. what was it like to see that? >> it was really heart warming. mr. kraft, the kraft family is very generous, and this isn't the first time they've done something like this. obviously, with this magnitude of a pandemic that we're facing, the opportunity is even greater.

but i shot him a text just saying thank you. it's encouraging someone in his position that's willing to do that. and it was even more ironic to see a patriots truck pulling into new york -- [laughter] to deliver help. but it just goes to show that in times like this, you know, the teams, the colors, it really doesn't matter. it's about people helping people, and that's what mr. kraft decided to do. jillian: absolutely. pete: ben watson, again, the web site is church relief.org if you want to provide to churches in need. thank you so much. jillian: good to see you. >> thank you. you guys have a good one. pete: turning now to a few additional headlines. the fdny veteran loses his battle with the coronavirus. deputy chief inspector served the department for 22 years. he was one of many fdny members who helped clean up ground zero. ramen is the second department member to die from if covid-19. ten employees of the nypd have

died as well. and 155 sailors aboard the uss roosevelt now testing positive for the coronavirus. 44% of the ship's crew has been tested for the virus as it's docked in guam. president trump criticizing the captain. >> i thought it was terrible, to write a letter? this isn't a class on literature, this is the captain of a massive ship that's nuclear powered. he could have called and asked and suggest. pete: captain brett crozier was relieved of command after writing that letter but, guys, two sides to every story. his sailors gave him a huge response on his way off that aircraft carrier, show of support. and folks that are close to him say he had been trying to sound the alarm about the threats on the roosevelt, on that ship. so more to be learned here. if you send a letter like that, you know you're going to get repercussions, no doubt about

that. but we'll see as we learn more about what transpired leading up to out. griff: we'll keep following that story, for sure. meanwhile, it's a week away from easter, rick. is it going to warm up this week? rick: it is, especially across parts of the central plains. one thing i like to do on sundays is give you a look ahead at the precipitation the over the next 5-6 days. take a look at the map, show you where we're going to be seeing some moisture. pick your area. if you don't need any more, tell you what, southern california a lot of rain and mountain snow on the way, more rain across parts of south texas that has a really significant drought. a lot of farmers out there trying to get the fields ready and planting. we are going to see rain across parts of florida as well, especially today. so we'll be watching that closely. here's your temps as you're waking up this morning, 70 in tampa. back to you. jillian: thank you, rick.

medical station california to treat patients on the mend and free up space in the hospitals for those who need critical care. joining us now is cofounder and ceo of team rubicon, and marine veteran jake wood. sergeant, you just can't stop running into the fight, can you? [laughter] >> yeah, i suppose you could say it's in a marine's blood. thanks for having me on. griff: thank you for being here and happy palm sunday to you. 96 hours ago you set up this medical facility in santa clara, california. california, obviously, hit hard there. you, as i understand it, are ready to receive patients, but yet you can't get them? why. >> yes, so you're correct. we have 33 personnel on scene right now. we have set up a 250-bed federal medical station. unfortunately, we continue to run into the buzz saw of bureaucracy, and this isn't, this isn't just santa clara. we're seeing this throughout the country.

listen, the situation with coronavirus is probably one of the most complex, certainly the most complex situation that our organization and the country have probably faced in the last several decades or even the last century. but with we need people who are willing to make really bold and unbiased decisions in the face of this threat. what we're seeing is that we have decision makers who are wrestling for the decision-making football back and forth between different levels of government, different agencies. and the result is that we have an empty hospital designed to decompress the health care system sitting there with no patients. and it just doesn't make sense, because this threat is only getting worse. griff: so i don't understand this. governor newsom working with the president yesterday, the president praising the governor out there there in california. and the message is clear, we're all in this together. but yet you can't get open because of local officials. what are you planning to do? what's the next step, call the

governor? >> well, listen, we're not trying to place blame here. but what we really need is just, you know, we need people to understand that rules are made for peacetime. i think when history looks back and judges how people performed in this coronavirus pandemic, they're going to look at people who did the right thing regardless of what the rulebook said. and so right now we're trying to apply peacetime rules to what amounts to the equivalent of a wartime situation. so this isn't about placing blame, this is really about how do we chart a path forward that gets people who need med e call treatment into empty beds. again, this is only going to get worse before it gets better, and this isn't just santa clara county. this is everybody jurisdiction. we have 154 communities across the country or that are requesting our assistance. we're running into this time and time again, so we need clear, unbiased, bold leadership in the face of this situation. griff: yep. coast to coast a problem. if people want to help and support ruin -- rubicon, how do

they do it? >> team rubicon usa.org or maybe text team to 20222 to make a contribution to our efforts. griff: jake, we will certainly be following that. meanwhile, let's talk about the military stepping up in the fight against coronavirus in a larger sense. you guys are well suited to respond, correct? >> we are. you know, the men and women of team rubicon are standing by to help our communities, and one of the things we're doing right now is calling on governors across the country to look at how they can provide competency-based credentialing to those military veterans from the medical field who have transitioned recently out of the military and want to get into this fight to decompress the health care system as emts or paramedics. we have solutions here that doesn't require us to actually activate our active duty troops to get into the fight. we have ways, we have methods

that we can use to credential these men and women who have the necessary skills to bring them onto the front lines and serve again. griff: the skills ander is e gents like you, jake wood, who want to get into that fight and help out. rubicon usa.org, thanks for being here. >> thank you for having me. griff: still ahead, americans coming together. a dog sled team in delivering groceries to the elderly and nurses spreading joy with these tiktok dance videos. stories of positivity. the next segment coming up, watch this dance. oh, yeah. ♪ wayfair has way more ways to renovate your home,

president trump: we will move heaven and earth to safeguard our great american citizens. we will continue to use every power, every authority, every single resource we've got to keep our people healthy, safe, secure, and to get this thing over with. we want to finish this war. we have to get back to work. we have to open our country again. pete: well thank you very much for joining us as we enter the final hour of this palm sunday edition of fox & friends we start with that fox news alert, president trump vowing to protect americans as he warns of a tough week ahead, in the coronavirus pandemic. more than 1,300 people have died nationwide, since yesterday morning. the most u.s. deaths in one day.

griff: the total number of death s now more than 8,000 as cases surpass 300,000 across the country the covid-19 task force warning the numbers of u.s. deaths could spike this week in coronavirus hotspot s. jillian: the white house reminding americans to follow social distancing guidelines as we get through this crisis together on that note we wish you a very good sunday morning on this palm sunday and jillian mele in new york with pete hegseth just a floor above me and griff jenkins live in washington d.c. guys as we've been talking about as we know these numbers are going to get worse but we have to keep doing what we're doing so we can try and flatten that curve. we have so many doctors who say it is working. pete: that's right. and so much to think about on this palm palm sunday as the president also said from the podium yesterday it's going to be a different kind of palm sunday normally it's families and congregations coming together but griff is our resident pastor this morning with a great message for people. how do they think about holy week as we're in a very different time.

griff: message is simple. it's about hope today begins the holy week because jesus rode on a donkey into jerusalem knowing what was coming his death but yet what did he do? he conquered it, just as we, all in this together, will conquer this , our suffering is going to get worse but if we have faith we're going to make it through and get to the other side. pete: well said, griff i love it here to join us this morning to expand on the program is california gop congressman devon nunes ranking member of the house intelligence committee , member of the how ways and means committee. congressman thank you so much for joining us this morning i wish you a happy palm sunday. >> thank you. pete: difficult times for all of us. the president yesterday you heard what he had to say about looking forward. he's also tipping his hand at possibly creating a second coronavirus task force to look into the reopening of the economy. how do we balance right now this idea that we're fighting a pandemic but we also have a wave of economic data showing us that we're in a world of hurt. where should that balance be? >> well it's a real struggle

because this has never been tried before. we've never actually unplugged an entire economy, and don't forget it's also an entire global economy. so clearly, things have to happen. i've been on the phone with the white house, with professionals and i think one of the most important opportunities that we have as we look forward and i'm quite positive on it is that if we can get the blood test that can test whether or not an american has had this in the past, so that we actually would know those of us that have been exposed to this , because we know this virus is extremely contagious, but remember we've only because we didn't have the tests at first, right now the doctors are still trying to only test the people that are showing symptoms, but what we know from the past is that there's a lot of people who don't show the symptoms so one of the optimistic things that we have on the horizon here is if we use the approval of the test where people can take blood tests, those people then can go back out in the workforce, and

i'll also say before i turn it back, is that i'm in an agricultural region and we can't stop. we have animals that have to eat , plants that have to be tended to, so a lot of folks in the san joaquin valley which is the big valley in the middle of california our folks are going to work seven days a week 24 hours a day to make sure that people have an abundant food supply in this country. jillian: i do think that test is critical to determine when we're able to start getting the economy, start getting it back on track start getting people back to work. do you have any indication of how far away we might be from that? >> well look it really is the difference between what are the hotspots and what is not, right? so it's going to be the president has been pretty clear that he wants the governor s to decide and i think that's best. i think you could even do it at the county level would maybe be even better or the city level and let the local politicians

and the local doctors that are monitoring the situation on the ground because remember, because we're testing right now, we're going to have a lot more people that are going to test positive. there is no question because once you end up in the hospital, it's not very promising, and we don't have all that data yet, but the preliminary data that's coming out doesn't look good that once you get to the hospital, your chance of survival is fairly low. now, look, but if you never go to the hospital your chance of survival is extremely high, and that's the concern. i would say that the elderly population especially in some of these group homes, just continue to stay away from those folks. let the healthcare professionals go in there. that, to me, could be where we could have some hotspots in the future. griff: congressman i want to turn to another population, that doesn't get a lot of attention necessarily and that's the homeless population, obviously very much at risk.

you had a problem in california even before coronavirus, now it's worse. i understand that the governor and the state are looking at making some 7,000 beds available we just had in the last hour jake wood from rubicon setting up some facilities to try and help triage that situation as well. >> so the situation out here in california with the homeless population is quite dire. that was before the coronavirus. it's almost like zombie apocalypse. you've seen the pictures, i know you guys have showed this on fox news, about san francisco and los angeles, but you have to understand. i've got several thousand just in my district, so the homeless population has spread across california. it's largely due because we let our criminals out, so we pass laws that let multiple convicted drug abusers out. now, look, unfortunately, a lot of these people, i call it zoom

ly apocalypse because a lot of these people have done drugs for a long period of time. they just aren't well. now one of the advantages is that we have picked up a few folks that have tested positive for covid, but one of the positive things is that if you're outside in the outdoors, you're social distancing we haven't seen it run through the homeless population at least that we know of yet like we've seen to my earlier point about in these group homes with older people that have underlying health conditions. griff: congressman i want you to look into something for us though because it makes, no one is going to disagree with your point but when we talked with jake wood, a marine sargent veteran whose trying to help this effort here, he says he's running into bureaucracy problems in your state. listen to this and i want your reaction. >> we have 33 personnel on scene right now. we set up a 250-bed federal medical station. unfortunately we continue to run

into bureaucracy and this isn't just santa clara. we're seeing this throughout the country. griff: congressman, team rubicon trying to help and they can't. >> yeah, we have something similar. i don't nowhere the location is, remember california is a big state but we have something very similar on our emergency plans that we have submitted to the state that have been on the books for 15 years, we wanted to use the local fair grounds, it's a large facility, several hundred acres, lots of buildings spread out. fema gave us 250 beds, prepared to go. i'm just talking about in my region, and then low and behold, the state came down and said well you're not going to use that facility and so then our local officials had to scramble to get another facility so i understand the frustration. the good part right now is is that very few people that get infected have to go to the hospital. let's hope that that trend

continues. we have a lot of available space right now, at least in california and in fact we have so much available space that i'm talking a lot of our local healthcare providers, they've had to lay people out because your typical people that come in for surgeries or have a heart issue, all of those issues are being put off, these long term chronic care issues are being postponed and we're laying off health workers in some cases right now. pete: it's so interesting how this impacts different places so very differently and you laid that out nicely. exit question here, you're talking about how things are different locally. well there's been a federal response with a third bill that came out, a couple trillion dollars which is being spent right now, a lot of which is going to small businesses, yet there's talk of a fourth already we've had guests on the program that suggest it's necessary, if we want to see a huge comeback when this is all said and done. you're as plugged in as anybody on capitol hill and the white house. what's the thinking right now

about these bills? >> well if you look at the big picture it really depends on when we go back to work and that's why i think the presidents talking about it, i've been saying it that the faster we can get people back to work, the better off we're going to be, because as we started out with, the economy has been unplugged. if you look at in the macro sense, these are just rough numbers. for every month and every 10% that we're down in gdp, we have to plug in about a half a trillion dollars into the economy, when you have an economy unplugged, per month, per 10% of gdp. now those numbers are now fluctuating anywhere that we're going to be down 10% this month, to 40% this month. i don't know where that comes out at so i think we just have to judge by when do we get back to work, and what is our gdp numbers look like, after we get the data. jillian: if i can ask you this real quick before we go. initially it was 15 days to stay inside to social distance, do

your part to flatten the curve and then it was 30 days. what is your expectation and what are you hearing what's the conversation like about how long realistically, we're looking at doing this? >> well, you know look, i remain optimistic. i don't know. i think it's going to have to be , you know, basically let down to the county level, city level, governor level. if you look at the most, the best opportunity we have right now and you mentioned it just a little bit earlier, if we can get these tests off and running there's about 20 or 30 tests sitting at nih and cdc they may approve that protocol to go test the population imagine if all of us can get tested quickly to know whether we have the antibodies and that's the key to getting this country back to work and how many days we have to stay inside. pete: congressman thank you very much. jillian: thank you. griff: thank you, congressman. pete: all right, still ahead, country's race to flatten the curve isn't working, dr. mark siegel explains how the u.s. is doing compared to

griff: the trajectory of the covid-19 pandemic varies widely from country to country but the amount of new cases each day seems to be dropping in some nations also known as flattening the curve. so which countries are showing the most progress? fox news medical contributor dr. mark siegel joins us to discuss it. good morning to you, dr. siegel. whose doing well in flattening the curve? >> so germany actually, now look, germany, italy and spain all have over 100,000 cases. germany, italy and spain are all starting to flatten the curve especially germany to around 5,000 new cases a day but there are differences. germany has the lowest death rate around, 1.4%. why? they have younger patients,

younger people who have gotten it but also, they're testing a lot of people. they're testing a lot of people which allows them to get it earlier and separate people out and watch them earlier. italy the death rate has not dropped and there's over 900 deaths per day still so they don't have control over it in italy yet. here in the united states where we have over 300,000 cases, we have not flattened the curve. there's still over 20,000 new cases a day, but griff, here is the headline. in the northeast, the curve is now starting to flatten, and it's now increasing in the southeast which seems to be the pattern of this virus that it goes from one region to the next and it looks like our mitigation strategy is sheltering at home, social distancing, washing our hands, disinfecting, all of that is starting to have an impact in new york and surrounding areas which is good news. griff: that is good news indeed. let me turn to some questions, doctor, from our viewers. sandy on facebook asks this. i have many symptoms related to the virus.

i went to a testing center but because i didn't have pneumonia or fever they didn't test me and said this is what the cdc told them to do. is that accurate? >> i don't think it's the cdc. it has to do with the state and local health departments and how much tests they have available. the problem is though exactly what she says. in order for us to really get control of this and i've talked to hhs about it this week , we need rapid point of care testing, both in terms of whether you have the infection, and whether you have antibodies to the infection as soon as possible. we need asymptomatic people in contact with it to get tested griff so we know who to separate out because remember, even if you got a mild case, someone next to you might be very elderly or have an underlying useimmunocompromised condition and we don't want them to get it an in order to flatten the curve we have to month who has it all around and that's according to h hs something coming.

griff: here is an e-mail question from mike. he asks if you had asymptomatic and wearing a makes could you continually contain the virus by breathing into that mask? >> extremely important and excellent question do you know why because he's right. that's why i want masks changed on a daily basis if possible or at least disinfected. you have to disinfect your mask after each use because you're putting moist air on it and it can accumulate virus and you touch it, spread it, put it in your mouth or eyes or to someone else. disinfect those masks and change them as often as possible. griff: we saw the home made mask s. if you washed it, would that suffice? >> well that does suffice but it may weaken the integrity of the mask. soap and water is enough to wash the mask. the wash is great as long as the mask is still useable

afterwards griff: this from mary on facebook. if essential workers can wear protective gear and work, why can't anyone? we need to get our economy back. >> two reasons for that, griff. first, we want our healthcare workers to have this , please they are on the frontlines they are exposed to it and not always in the most proper conditions and they are at risk getting sick. we need our personal protective equipment in the hospitals and clinics where it belongs, plus the general public can get adequate protection by washing their hands, changing their clothes, taking hot shower s by using now we say mask s if in close confines with other people because you might have it, not know it and spread it asymptomatically, so you need masks but no personal protective equipment is needed. we need it for our health workers. griff: important to note, dr. mark siegel thank you much for being here and answering all these questions. have a great sunday. coming up a teacher puts his 3d printer to work making face shields for doctors and nurses

pete: welcome back a couple of quick headlines for you 430,000 people have traveled china to the u.s. since the coronavirus outbreak was first reported in january. the new york times says most of them arrived in major cities like los angeles, new york, and san francisco. no doubt without additional travel measures that number would have been much larger and several coronavirus patients are taken to navy hospital ship the usns comfort by mistake. u.s. officials telling fox news less than five patients were transferred to the ship in new york city on friday, at the time

initial screenings did not indicate they were positive for covid-19. the ship is used for non- coronavirus patients to free up hospitals in the area. jillian, back to you. jillian: a new jersey man is making a difference in the fight against the coronavirus. oscar valera is using his 3d printer to make face shields for healthcare workers all over the country for free. he's maying about 60 a day, and could soon crank out more as donations have started to pore in, allowing him to buy even more printers. oscar is a high school teacher and owner of 3d, he joins us now thanks for joining us. >> thank you. jillian: so when did you start making these, when did you realize i've got something here i can do to help? >> i started making these about i think last friday, so about eight days now, nine days, and i owned a 3d printing business that's been very good to me, so once i saw some, a youtube content create or named 3d print

ing, they put out basically like an all points bulletin, that we need 3d printers to do your part, so i said do you know what? i can't just sit around and not do anything when there's people literally putting their lives on the line, and all i have is time once i teach during the week, after that, i'm going nowhere, so it's not like i have something else to do, so i thought let me just start making some and i put it up on the local facebook group for my town in new jersey and it just spread like wildfire and i started getting requests from not just people here locally, but also i've had requests from like one gentleman said my daughter is a doctor in washington d.c. and my son is as well and they have a newborn. they want to add another layer of protection. my cousin in houston, her friend is a doctor. she's a nurse, and she wants 45

shields for her staff. jillian: it's incredible what you're doing to reach so many people who are in need of them across the country. how many requests have you gotten in the last eight or nine days since you've been doing this? >> well i've made a little over 300 by now but i have a backlog of about 900 shields. jillian: wow. >> and i have approximately 20 messages i haven't responded that came in overnight. jillian: you're doing it for free and you weren't asking for donations but people have sent them so you can get more printers that's incredible. how can people help if they want to? >> just if people want to donate, to be honest, i'm very blessed. i have many donations. i have all my supplies already ordered. the way i tell people if you really want to donate, i'm good. donate to your local food pantr ies or if you can donate blood do that, with the unemployment rate going up a lot of people are going to be hungry so how about that way. jillian: that is great information.

my goodness, and that's true because the american red cross has been telling us for weeks that blood donations had been down as we went into this pandemic so that is a good message. you're doing great work in your community and beyond. thank you so much for joining us we appreciate it. >> thank you. jillian: of course. and we have more information on how you can help plus more stories of people going extra lengths to help each other deal with this pandemic just like oscar there. find all that at foxnews.com/ americatogether. and still ahead, millions of christians celebrating palm sunday today from home, as the coronavirus keeps churches and cathedrals closed. up next our pastor panel including president trump's own spiritual advisor, shares their message of faith as we head into holy week.

sleep this amazing? that's a zzzquil pure zzzs sleep. our gummies contain a unique botanical blend, while an optimal melatonin level means no next-day grogginess. zzzquil pure zzzs. naturally superior sleep. pete: well today pope frances celebrating palm sunday at the vatican. you can see st. peters basilica nearly empty as the mass is streamed online amid the covid-19 outbreak. here with their own messages of faith on this palm palm sunday are our religion panel jensen franklin and pastor paula white cane. thank you all so much for joining us this morning, pastor franklin i'll start with you. as we, you know, what a different time to be in this holy week. what is your message as we navigate it? >> well, i think it is a different time.

i've never experienced anything like it. it's palm sunday and here we are , and i think the message is still one of great hope. god is with us, he has not for sake en us, he is still in control and he doesn't for sake his own and he joins in courage us people, when we face the giants and obstacles it may look dark for a season, but joy comes in the morning. pete: well said, reverend hegler , speak to our audience this morning. >> i just want to echo him. this is a time like never before that we have to show each other that we love each other, because the meaning of palm sunday is one of the greatest love stories and god so loves this world and even though, he had to go through trials and betrayal of

his friends, of government leaders, he still prevailed. pete: that's right. we know how the story ends that's the best part about it, pastor white-cane your message this morning. >> good morning, pete, i'm going to be administering on a praise that will bring it to past and during this holy week as we enter in with palm sunday, and then great friday, resurrection sunday, we were reminded of the ultimate victory god gave us through his son, jean us christ, did not only die the death, and it was interesting because in john 12: 12 when they went out they said they met jesus in jerusalem and it was a passover time and they had an encounter with god and they said a never before hard, they had always given a hallelujah, but this time, they said hosana, which has a unique meaning that means save now, deliver now, defend now. i believe if we ever need a hosa na, it is right now.

pete: very well said. i'll ask you this question as well, pastor franklin. talk about your congregation, your flock. how are you managing that right now and what's the state of your folks? >> well i think that people are appreciating gathering the church like never before. i think there's a yearning, there's a hunger to come back together but at the same time, we are experiencing record numbers with their online services and it's pretty remarkable and we're also seeing church be a first respond erin the community. we are doing all kinds of ministries, we have provided ten s of thousands of meals. we've delivered 10,000 meals on wheels through our church volunteers following all of the social distancing rules but we're still the church and we're still in the community. i'm so thankful our people made 20,000 calls to elders and seniors in our community, and just checking up, loving one another, showing the light in

the middle of the darkness, and that's what the season is about. i so concur with what all of the speakers are saying. there's leviticus, priests go in with a weeping willow branch in one hand and he had a palm branch in the other, i brought a little illustration and one represents weeping and sorrow and one represents sunshine and good days and victory, as she said but in both cases we are to come and we are to get in god's presence, and he said i'm not just the god of the good times, the happy days, the prosperity days, but i'm the god of the weeping and the sorrow and the good news is he never leaves us, he's with us and he'll never for sake us. hold on, everybody stay up, the joy of the lord is our strength we'll get through this. pete: reverend, your flock? >> yes, the message of the church, we had over 500 churches under the leadership of

reverend pete jackson, but we even did virtual community today because we want to make sure that people understand that we are still united and that there is nothing too hard so even though this may be a temporary situation, god is still on the throne and god is still in control and we still have to help one another and the church is not a building, it is us individuals. we are the body of christ so we have to remember that. pete: pastor white-cain, what a great reminder, the church is just a building. >> i know it's so true and i echo the sentiment and the feelings of pastor jensen and reverend dee, and i say we too, we hold our faith dear and so close to our heart that there is a sadness in some people about not having the fellowship but we recognize this during this time to slow this curve. to socially distance and so what

pastor jensen stated not becoming only very innovative but multiple calls reaching out every single leader, touching others and not only those that are members of our congregation but our entire community, we too have become a point of contact for distribution, for other local churches, charities, and ministries that we are just feeding an entire community literally as well as being able to get beds and things and work with our services like dhs that did not have the goods for people that were maybe sleeping on the floor, or not in the best circumstances or situation, putting people in homes and just working holistic ally with everyone in our community from the political and mayors to the charitable to churches, so everyone is gathering together an we're seeing best of humanity. pete: pastor white-cain, pastor dee, and pastor franklin, thank you all. god bless you, thank you so much appreciate your time. >> amen.

pete: all right, jillian a few headlines for us. jillian: that's right that was great, pete, thank you. turning to your headlines civil rights leader joseph lowry laid to rest at a private funeral in atlanta. ten members attended the service and a public memorial is scheduled on his 99th birthday in october. he is known as the dean of the civil rights movement worked closely with dr. martin luther king jr. and jessie jackson. he died of natural causes last month and he was 98 years old. >> more than 3,500 rental cars are destroyed in a massive fire near a florida airport. witnesses say those cars triggered small explosions fueling flames in a rental car parking lot. helicopters were seen dropping water to control the spread. the fire is now contained. the states fire marshall is investigating what caused that fire. >> take a look at this , a man tackled by shoppers after he's caught spitting and coughing on food at a supermarket in massachusetts.

witnesses say he started getting violent once he was confronted by employees. police say they have no reason to believe he has covid-19, but the man could face criminal charges. >> meanwhile this is amazing a former astronaut says the coronavirus is scarier than space. dr. bill fisher, the father of our very own kristin fisher, now works as an er doctor in houston and kristin actually interviewed her dad about the coronavirus. here is what he had to say. >> you told me that you were more concerned about catching covid-19 than you were on the day that you launched into space. >> everyone is very careful. we know this thing is coming and it can be deadly. >> dr. fisher says alpha suggestions should assume every patient has covid-19 so they are extra careful about transmitting the virus and in fact we should all assume everyone has it but guys absolutely incredible to see kristin interview her father , such a distinguished man fighting on multiple platforms throughout his wife.

pete: he's got some perspective no doubt about that. secretively and literally. griff: unbelievable really. pete: it's a powerful interview. griff: every day basically for these doctors is like blasting into space. pete: no doubt. rick richmuth is via skype. rick you've got weather updates for us? rick: yeah, a lot of the east coast has been much warmer than average. we're going to continue that trend over the next couple of days especially the southeast. take a look at the map and show you what's going on as you're walking up temperature wise, tampa 70 already, 70 in new orleans obviously the big outbreak going on in the new orleans area, and guys i've got the wrong map up there, i think that i can fix this so easily for my own now easily than having marilyn go press the button, so there is your temperatures, as you wake up. across the northeast and toward the mid atlantic today we're going to see a few scattered showers but get a little bit more sunshine than we had the last couple of days,

tomorrow we have another nice day and tuesday we start to see some of those clouds move back in. down in the southeast we've got rain this morning cutting right across the gulf, heavier showers later on today around central florida, which we desperately need and towards the northern plains we've got a beautiful day , tons of sunshine and final ly out across the west here is where our storm is rain and mountain snow throughout california. all right, guys back to you inside. griff: rick thanks very much. rick: you bet. griff: coming up president trump considering a second coronavirus task force, its focus? reopening the economy. we'll ask maria bartiromo what she thinks about it, coming up.

griff: right now quick headlines u.s. postal workers demanding hazard pay amid the covid-19 pandemic. an online petition demanding more pay for all usps employees is nearing its goal of half a million signatures. the petition reads, "we are

essential during this epidemic. we should be paid for it." >> and this , president trump saying the nfl season will start on schedule. he made the claim during a call with executives for major sporting league, for nfl star joined us earlier and says the president is right about getting sports in the country back up and running. >> if you think about the families that have been impacted by not being able to work in stadiums, not being able to work in businesses that are around game day, not being able to cover these sports, the trickle down effect has been tremendous. griff: the nfl season is set to kickoff september 10 and it can't come a day sooner. pete? pete: amen brother griff. all right, president trump sending support for a second coronavirus task force to get the economy going again. listen. president trump: i'm thinking of getting a group of people and we have to open our country. the cure cannot be worse than the problem itself. we're going to get our country open. jillian: here to react is

"sunday morning futures" host maria bartiromo. good to see you this morning maria. maria: hey there, guys good morning to you. jillian: so what do you think is this what we need this second task force? maria: well, yeah, i think so. i certainly do think that you're going to need a group of people who are focused just on what's happening with the economy. look, obviously, this is a business president and he wants to open the economy as soon as he possibly can, but he's not going to do it unless he gets the buy-in of our medical experts, dr. fauci, dr. birx, et cetera. we're going to talk this morning with dr. steven hahn, the commissioner of the fda, and my exclusive interview is going to take a look at where we are in terms of prophylaxis, and that is the situation where a lot of people are talking about right now that we need where it's sort of like a temporary immunity. you get a shot, and you're immune to this disease for 60-90 days so you can go back to work and that's why the healthcare industry and the finance task

force needs to be in constant touch in terms of where we are with the virus and whether or not we do have an opening to get back to work and open up this economy. make no mistake, these numbers are dreadful, guys. we had the jobless claims number s out on thursday of last week, 6.6 million people in the last two week period, 10 million people have filed for unemployment benefits, and if you look at the jobs numbers on friday, now we had a 3.8% unemployment rate but that doesn't tell the story at all, because remember, they capture the unemployed up until march 12 , so it was march 12 which ended that reporting period, a lot happened after march 12. i would venture to say that the unemployment rate right now, the real unemployment rate is close to 10%, so yes, we are set on the economy. that does not mean forget about our health issues and open up the economy now. no, we need to see where we are in terms of treatment and in terms of vaccine. that's why i'm really excited

about dr. steven hahn from the fda and i'll also ask him about this crazy policy of having all-important active ingredients in our prescription drugs, penicillin, et cetera, made in china. so we are so reliant on china here and do you know what else? will china come up with a vaccine for this before america? that's another question. pete: and will they be honest about it if they do. absolutely in addition to dr. steven hahn, who else do you have on the program? you always have a great show. maria: we've got rudy giuliani, america's mayor remember he over saw everything after 9/11, we're going to ask him about similarities to the shutdown we saw then and what can be done noun and also talking with congressman doug collins and steve bannon the former white house chief strategist, getting his advice as we look toward a potential opening in the face of these next two weeks, which as you know, the president said will be horrific. we're on it. pete: always very clear-eyed about communist china, maria

great show thank you very much. griff: thanks maria that will be great. still ahead, the voice of an angel. a michigan nurse stuns as she sings "amazing grace" to her co- workers before another long shift. that nurse joins us with an encore performance you don't want to miss. >> ♪ ♪ remind me to call petsmart for ralphie's appointment. who's his groomer? carrie. full groom for sure what? i just booked ralphie's appointment online. that work? wait you what? it's that easy! download the app or book online at petsmart.com
