sunday." liberty and levin." ♪ ♪ pete: and welcome to america together. i'm your host, pete hegseth. i'm broadcasting this evening from my home into yours. tonight on this palm sunday, nearly all americans are under some form of a stay at home order. as researchers and doctors race to contain the coronavirus pandemic, no one is immune to this crisis. it has changed all of our lives. and while this virus may be unprecedented, america's resilient response is not. during times of challenge and uncertainty, americans have always gone above and beyond to help their fellow citizens in need. and this time is no different. americans answer the call to duty. from health care workers risking their lives every day on the

front lines, to law enforcement officers and first responders, all of whom cannot work from home, to our businesses adapting to meet critical supply shortages and to our public officials and, of course, to our president, america's best shine brightest when needed the most. all fighting to keep our country healthy, safe and secure. and then there's us, everyday americans who have our own hopes and fears and struggles but still see simple acts of kindness and generosity all around us. we tell those stories tonight. tonight we highlight those helping to unleash the american spirit when it's needed the most. if over the next hour, we're going to tell stories big and small of hope, inspiration and everyday heroism. the spirit that embodies america's strength and resolve in times of crisis and continues to prove what makes this country

is greatest nation on earth. this is "america together." ♪ ♪ >> many stores are experiencing supply shortages. ♪ ♪ >> it does require, however, our best effort and if our willingness -- and our willingness to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds, to believe that together, with god's help, we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us. and after all, why shouldn't we believe that? we are americans.

pete: one of the biggest developments this week has been the need for masks not only for medical workers, but now everyone is encouraged to cover our faces. the manufacturers cannot keep up with the demand if, so companies and everyday americans are coming together to make more. i talked to tyler merritt, jake easo from orange middle school in new jersey, and a senior at columbia high school. check out their stories. you know, i'm going to start with you, jake, and you're a chorus teacher, a choir teacher. why are you rallying yourself and others to make these masks? >> you know, i bought a 3-d printer a couple months ago as sort of a hobby and just kind of started exploring that sort of world. and when this thing started poking up in our region, i got in touch with my parents who sent me an article about a

company in syracuse, a couple that are just printing ppe just for, you know, first responders, and we realized that that's something that i can, you know, i can do down here. they kind of threw my skills behind that, kind of started this group to just help out however we can. pete: even voices singing together can sing a good tune. you actually connected with jake through a facebook page, and you're doing much the same. >> i have several 3-d printers because i'm part of a robotics club, and i wanted to help out once i got out for school. then i was put in contact with jake, and he helped make it possible for me to start printing things on my personal printers and also several i was able to get from my high school robotic es club. pete: soup -- super cool. how many maxes are you creating right now? >> 1,160 pieces so far. >> so i've so far printed somewhere around 170.

pete: awesome. everyday folks, your job is not to create protective equipment, but you're stepping up. if folks want to -- what's this facebook page if folks want to learn more? >> it's called somanj 3-d printer alliance. pete: tyler, you just heard their stories. you're stepping up in a huge way. tell us what you're doing. >> well, this mask that you see me wearing, this was developed by the u.s. manufacturing giant in l.a., in the last week we've created millions of these. the goal is to get 1.5 million per day. pete: millions. 1.5 million per draw. wow, that's an amazing number. and there's big numbers that we're seeing on our screen of need, so how to you ramp up to that? >> so right now we saw the need for this replacement surgical mask. this is simple. this is not a difficult task. we could do hundreds of millions of these distributed around the country, and we need to get

every single person wearing a containment mask. the mask you're talking about is n-95, and the individuals creating a 3-d-printed version is also something we've teamed up with local doctors here as well as gulf stream engineers to come up with a scalable solution to make these by ten of thousands per day. we've plushed all of the information. we've made these 3-d renderings public, we've also publishedded a ton of information about what the problem is, how it became a problem, how we've become reliant on chinese manufacturing, how we have the smartest scientists and engineers and manufacturers in the united states, and we can scale to solution. we're selling our masks, these containment masks at cost, we're getting them out the door every day by the millions. we need people to get educated on what the problem is, but better yet, we need to show the solution so people like my mom, a nurse on the front lines, can get the masks that she needs. pete: i want to ask you all one

final exit question. jake, i'll start with you. why are you doing? doing this? >> i'm used to being, as a teacher, i'm used to being able to help my students, and i can't help them day in, day out as directly as i can, and i see the need in my community, and i've been, i've been raised, you know, since i was a little boy to help out the community that you live in. this is what i came up with. pete: well said. >> for me, it's just the fact that i have these resources at my disposal that can be used to help, and there's really no reason for me not to take what i have, like, at my disposal to now try and help others. pete: and, tyler, last word. >> yeah. i'm doing this for my mother who's a nurse on the front lines. i'm doing this for my father who's battling cancer who is at most risk to die. if you go to our web site, you can learn all about why we're doing this and, more

importantly, how you can help. pete: you are in this fight with every piece of ammunition you've got at your disposal. it was a pleasure to talk to you all tonight. thanks again for coming on. we need folks like those guys to keep making more masks because, and we hear it all day but it's true, there's a shortage. and that's what take makes this next story so special. our good friend, tucker carlson, is here with more. tucker? tucker: it all started with a traffic stop. a minnesota doctor was headed home after a long shift. she saw the dreaded flashing lights in her rearview mirror. she didn't get a ticket, instead a heart warming surprise. a state trooper called brian schwartz issued her five of those coveted n-95 maxes instead. the doctor spoke to "fox & friends" about what happened. >> it's been very isolating to talk care of suspected covid-19 patients, and it can feel --

it's hard to look at stories of self-you shouldness and hoard -- selfishness and hoarding. whenever you turn on the news, it seems like there's more story of people clearing the shelves and keeping them for themselves rather than giving them away. and i i think particularly at that time i really needed to believe that we're, we're going to stick together as human beings. it -- i needed to be reminded that, ultimately, it's not toilet paper or n-95 masks that are going to save us, it's each other. it was humbling. i think, i think state troopers and policemen, they often get a bad rap for doing their jobs. i just, i just think that it's time they got their due recognition. tucker: what's even more amazing, the five masks were from the supply the state had

given trooper schwartz for his own protection. the doctor says they did come with one caveat, no more speeding. pete? pete: we've seen this growing pandemic foster anxiety and fear across america in the past few weeks, but it's also forged a rebirth of communities and patriotism. our one and only sean hannity join withs us now. sean: all right. it's said a simple gesture goes a long way, right? during this pandemic national emergency, americans are finding ways to come together as a community and showing appreciation for those putting themselves in harm's way on the front lines. for example, every night, 7 p.m. eastern, tens of thousands of new yorkers participate in a citywide two minute applause to show their support for all essential workers serving all of us in need, everyone from medical professionals, grocery store workers, sanitation employees, janitors in hospitals. take a look. [applause]

[cheers and applause] scene: and every night -- sean: and every night it shows the best of america. for kids that aren't in school, several neighborhoods now are coming together the to recite the pledge of allegiance. one michigan teacher started a trend in his community by visiting students during the outbreak at a safe distance. why? to teach them respect for our flag and this great country. take a look. >> the idea for this came from so many elementary families in our neighborhood who are now suddenly moms and dads or home schoolteachers. and they needed a routine. i'm pretty proud of, respectfully, doing the pledge of allegiance with our students in high school every morning to

start our day. sean: and in hard times reciting the pledge of allegiance, rain or shine, can really help bring a community together. but that's not all teachers are doing. educators across the country are driving by students' homes to reunite, spread some cheer, yes, with social distancing since the school year was unexpectedly cut short. teachers at an elementary school in pennsylvania say this is a way for them to make a connection with the students they love. take a look. >> it's just a very different time that none of us have ever experienced before, so it's just an idea that we're still making contact and still having those relationships with people but just in a different way. >> i think at the end of the day i hope this just makes everybody, their spirits a little bit uplifted, makes them realize that we're all in this together. [background sounds] sean: it is truly inspiring to see how so many americans are spreading cheer during a

difficult time. pete? pete: thanks, sean. now, that is america. coming up on "america together," i'll be joined by many members of your fox news family throughout the hour with more stories just like these. my dear friend ainsley earhart is next, and she's bringing some friends with her. how they're using faith to combat fear. and for more stories of americans along with information how you can help, go to fox

as our country tries to come together -- >> we need to take this opportunity to deal with our families and get in the word. >> knowing that god controls all of this. >> if you know jesus, then we are called to trust in god. >> he encourages us in scripture to kass our cares -- cast our cares upon him. >> run to him. he's there, he's waiting on the other side of our situation. >> is sometimes we really have to stretch our faith to see where the good came out of it, but i promise you, there's always an opportunity for goodness to come out of every act of darknesses. >> thank god for the warriors on the front line. these are our military, the truck drivers delivering the food, the cashier showing up at the grocery store. america is awesome, and we are uniting in powerful ways to get through this together. >> be proud of who you are. but the same token, remember no matter where you are there's somebody much worse off than you

impact despite social distancing. shannon: hey, pete. many americans are looking for ways to stay in as the coronavirus -- in touch. in an effort to bring more people together, hallmark says it's giving away two million greeting cards to people around the country. this is what the company's ceo mike perry had to say about the effort. >> you know, we are clearly living in unprecedented times where, you know, many of us at least are self-isolating. and one of the really unfortunate consequences of that is that we're connecting less than we would want to and, frankly, less than what we should be with family and friends. and from a hallmark perspective, we looked at that and said, wow, that doesn't feel good, so what could we do that would be helpful during these times. and, you know, our solution was, hey, let's give away a couple million cards. [laughter] and, you know, frankly, you know, when you think about one of the most powerful things that we can do as human beings is to reach out to somebody else on

purpose and tell them that we love them, that we're thinking about them, we're caring about them, maybe just to reach out and say, you know, give them a little bit of encouragement that, yes, indeed we will get through these times. all to you do is go to hallmark.com/cowerenough, and just -- care enough, and just put in your name and address, and we'll send you out a little pack of cards directly to your home. and you can take it from there. and the response that we've gotten has been fantastic, you know? really great feedback from all the folks that are getting their cards and telling us about how they're intending to send their cards to different people. but i think what's been really great about this is just, it's just another form of connection. you're texting, i'm texting, we're making phone calls, we're doing things that we can do to stay in touch with people. this is just a very different way, and i think in some ways a really authentic way to say

something on purpose in a really thoughtful way to another human being. shannon: a very thoughtful idea from hallmark to help keep america together. pete? pete: turns out hallmark not just about addictive christmas movies. thank you for that, shannon. it's stories like that that make our country great, big companies stepping up in response to this outbreak to help everyday americans get by. of course, hallmark isn't the only business giving back. martha maccallum, host of "the story," has the story of an interesting matchup. martha: hi, pete. you may not think pizza and fashion go handing in hand, but not the case in the bug apple. a couple of business owners are teaming up to serve those on the front lines of this pandemic. >> my name is adam, i'm the owner and chef of everyday hospitality. we have five restaurants, cocoa e and crew, sauce restaurant and three pizzerias.

we decided we were going to donate 20 pizzas every day to a different local hospital, and we put that on social media. then we told people if they bought a pizza for donation, that we would match it and bring that to a hospital as well. and then it kind of started. we had a lot of people going on to our delivery site to buy a cheese pie for a hospital, then we would send two out, and as of yesterday we've with delivered 3,000 pizzas to local hospitals. ♪ ♪ >> they saw a what we were doing with the local hospitals and made a nice donation for us to be able to go and support a bunch of nurses and doctors. >> we started vivrelle a membership club that provides

offices can see patients, and everybody's level of tension can go down a little bit because we can protect ourselves. laura: crazy aaron's is working with five saints distilling to produce 1500 gallons a day of hand sanitizer. and get this, this is incredible, this is also helping the economy because the economy has, of course, temporarily laid off most of the company's 85 workers. they were automobile to bring back about two -- able to bring back about two dozen employees to work on making and packaging, something we all need right now, which is hand sanitizer. pete? pete: thank you, laura. millions of americans are out of work as much of the country is closed for business to stop the spread of coronavirus. so one charity is doing double duty. feeding those in need and putting dozens of laid-off americans back to work. my colleague, sandra smith, cohost of "america's newsroom," has the story. sandra: a charity called operation barbecue relief

with dana perino. hi, everybody, welcome to storytime. hi, everybody. [laughter] did you know that dragons love tacos? they love beef tacos and chicken tacos. blue skies, puffy white clouds, sunshine with a light breeze. the perfect weather for lily pad hopping in the pond near freddie's house. what did one plate say to the other plate? >> i don't know, what did one plate say to the other plate? >> dipper is on -- dinner is on me. pete: i caught up with her earlier this week. dana, thank you so much for joining us this evening, we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me, i really appreciate it especially because i'm not a parent. i know that you are, you have wonderful kids, and i'm just trying to do a little butt of my best here. but i could probably use some work on the reading to kids. [laughter] pete: well, that's one of the questions i was going to have. you know, you're there in your apartment reading to, reading to

kids who are not there. how do you think about storytime to imaginary kids in front of you? dana: it's been interesting, you know, one of the reasons i came up with it is everybody wants to do something to help during this time. before everything got really locked down, i was walking to work and, you know, in the streets of manhattan is it's usually very busy, and i didn't have to look both ways because there was no traffic. and i was thinking about the enormity of what was happening especially for school children who all of a sudden found themselves at home, and their routines were so disrupted. and i remembered laura bush, when she was first lady, talked about after 9/11 how important it was to try to keep reading time, something that you could always do with your children to help keep them calm, rea assure them. it give -- reassure them. it gives them a chance to get close to you and also gives the parents a little bit of a moment with their children.

[laughter] what i was hearing from few friends is they were trying to figure out how were they going to entertain their kids all day long and make sure they were getting an education. and i thought, well, maybe i could use facetime, or facebook louvre to read some stories to -- live to read some stories to kids. but you don't have any feedback -- [laughter] you don't know if your jokes are landing, you don't know anything. i sit there, and it's silent, and i'm trying my best. i was so encouraged by fox news channel embracing this idea and trying to get it out to more platforms. and then i i loved the comments from people. i've heard from people i haven't seen in many years -- pete: yeah, that's what i want to know. you made it so -- to go out on the digital platforms so families can absorb it. what is that feedback? dame dame well, it's funny. i remember one grandmother told me that her grandson reminds her every day, her grandson is 5 year old and says, don't forget, we have to do storytime. so i try to do it at 3:30 p.m.

eastern every day, and i've heard from people who don't have children. there's a woman who said she was 80, and storytime was her favorite time of the day. but i really love getting the pictures of kids and, of course, dogs sitting and listening to storytime. it's nice for me too to take a break, because the news can be pretty haugh right now -- pete: yeah. dana: -- and i love the creativity that authors have for children's books. they're really special. pete: i think it's a beautiful concept. this is about bringing people together, enfiring them. we think about -- inspiring them. when the parents say you know dana perino, now she's going to read you a book at 3:30, it's pretty darn cool. how do you choose your books? last exit question. dana: well, it's just been -- i don't know. but i have an assistant, and she, she knows i have about 100 ideas a day, and so this idea

she knew i really wanted to do, so she has been gathering books. there's been some classics like jack and the beanstalk, but i just did one called dragons love tacos. i don't know if you knew that, but apparently dragons love tacos, but not the spicy kind. pete: why not? dana: it's really pretty neat. i've loved this experience, and i hope that this is a small little part in the day for parents if they need to throw in a load of laundry, finish the dishes, send some emails, it gives them just a tubeny bit of -- tiny bit of a break. pete: well, it is fantastic. thanks for all you do on the channel. dana perino, thank you so much. dana: thanks, pete. thank you. pete: you can watch storytime with dana every weekday at 3:30 p.m. eastern time on foxnews.com, the fox news facebook page, youtube and fox nation. as i mentioned, millions of children now at home, and parents the teachers and

your parents might make you write an essay about it. i know that's no fun, but these guys have to do that. what we understand when we talked earlier -- >> there is no free lunch. pete: no free lunch. for the folks at home, your kid might say, wait, when i go to my friend's house and their parents make it for me -- or if my friend has a lunchable and you have to pay for it, i get a free lunch. the point is you never get a free lunch because somebody somewhere paid for it. east your parents paid for it or the school paid for it with your tax dollars or the company because you got it for free from them, so they had to eat the cost of making it. so no one makes any money. come here. see, i'm still pulling money -- >> [inaudible] pete: people are going to try to pay for themselves including my peeps. that's why i don't usually bring props, but for this made for tv

edition, we try to do what we can. socialism versus capitalism is a lecture of the hegseth school. >> bye! ♪ ♪ pete: as i mentioned, i'm hosting from home tonight, and that library is right over there. i'm not sure who had more fun, me or the kids. you can check out all five of my library lectures on fox nation starting tomorrow. well, while we stay apart to stay together during this national health more than, we're seeing brand new ways to show love and support. my buddy janice dean has been keeping track of kindness. janis janis thank you, pete. it's truly been amazing how inspiring americans can be during hardship. this next story is incredible. 15-year-old cocoa johnson finished her last chemotherapy last week at the hospital in los angeles, and she really didn't expect much of a celebration amidst the covid-19 outbreak.

obviously, she was expecting to celebrate with her family and that was it. but as they turned the corner in their a neighborhood, she had an outpouring of community. on her drive home from the hospital, she turned down her street and was greeted by family, friends and neighbors cheering her on. cars decorated with balloons, streamers and signs lined both sides of the road and supporters honked and clapped to celebrate cocoa's milestone and return home. everyone stayed in or near their vehicles to maintain social distancing, but that sure didn't stop them from supporting their neighbor and their friend. cocoa says that she hopes all of those who see the video will be inspired to support their own communities during this pandemic. this next story proves that some heros come in the most unexpected forms.

20-year-old liam and 25 the-year-old simone have created a free delivery service called invisible hands for those who can no longer go out and shop for groceries or puck up prescriptions themselves. in just over a week, the duo e have gamed over 7,000 volunteered and made over 600 deliveries to the you elderly iw york city. >> this is one of the times when i remember that new york is such a small town and people willing to look out for one another and have each other's backs. janice: invisible hand volunteers to go shopping and then delivers the goods right to the customers' doorsteps. thank you to these invisible hands for making new york city and the world a much better place. this final story is truly heart warming. cancer patient jeanette peacock had to go to her final radiation treatment alone due to social distancing efforts, but her family knew this milestone had

to be celebrated. they reached out to members of their community to line the road on a mountainside that leads to her hometown. during her drive, jeanette was greeted by her kids and her husband holding a sign that read, "the best view comes after the hardest climb." and as she drove down that mountain, she passed by friends and neighbors ringing bells and holding even more signs of encouragement. pete, the best views truly do come after the hardest climb, and i believe america will overcome this climb as we're getting through it together. back to you. pete: janice, thank you. you have been such a ray of sunshine during these challenging times. when we come back on "america together," don't miss the tales of social distancing by our own position nation hosts abby horn sec and k.t. mcdonnell.

pandemic. it's really something that's completely different. things that we as food banks haven't faced in the past, and it's really quite a challenge for us. in the last two weeks, we've seen our numbers more than double just in our own distribution location. we would typically do 600 to maybe 650 families a day. yesterday we hit 1349. >> we definitely have seen a spike in the demand for food assistance. just last week the l.a. regional food bank distributed two million pounds of food which is a record distribution amount for us. 49% higher than last year. so we're definitely feeling the impact of families and individuals. many have been laid off or have been furloughed, had hours cut back, needing that food assistance. abby: so for someone like me who's at home and self-quarantined, can't leave the house, what can i do to help

spread e the word about fostering, we are going to be the best solution for this problem for our animal friends right now. >> most of them cannot take volunteers at this time, so monetary donations are the key. if you have a favorite rescue or shelter, certainly you can go online and donate to the -- [inaudible] we're not able to take strays or surrenders either because they have to be checked by a veterinarian first. so what i'm asking people to do, if they do find those animals on the street, to have it within their heart if they're able to bring them into their home, let's say you're going to be home for two or three weeks, go on to youtube, look up dog behavior, dog psychology. you may make a huge difference in that dog and save a life. >> thank you so, so much for taking the time to watch and listen. this is something really near and dear to my heart. hey, if you want to watch these last two episodes in their entirety, head to fox night right now, they're up there.
