this is fascinating. >> reporter: mixed reaction. there is a common goal, to see the return of america's pastime as soon as possible. the baseball world is divided over the new proposal, the plan would have every game played in the phoenix area. in addition to one major league stadium there are ten spring-training facilities and other college field that could be used. all players and coaches would live in hotels for four to five months, only allowed to travel to and from the stadiums, no fans would be allowed at the game so that is different. officials at the cdc and the nih are on board with the move. players have mixed feelings. kansas city's royals receiver saying, quote, it is in the best interests of the nation for mlb to go through the plan as quickly as possible. it will provide us an opportunity to inspire and set an example.

rob: the trump administration considering legal action over china's alleged hoarding of ppe as reports show the same country where the virus originated is selling back supplies other countries donated to china. jillian: can china be held accountable? joining us to weigh in his senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. good to see you this morning. what do you think is the right answer? judge napolitano: the legal problem is the foremost is sovereign immunity which the united states recognizes and

that basically insulates all governments from being sued no matter what they do. if the government accidentally dropped a bomb on a foreign country's city there might be military retaliation but no legal retaliation against the people in the government. the issue is how can china be punished? how can the us be compensated because of what a leading cardinal in myanmar, the latest catholic in asia called criminal negligence of the leadership of the government of china which knew about this for months, which knew how serious it was, which arrested the doctor who discovered it and revealed it because he had the temerity to tell the truth. china has a lot of assets in the united states, some are owned not by the government itself but by corporations in which the government is the principal shareholder. you can expect to see soon class

actions, lawsuits brought to united states federal courts against sovereign corporations, not the government again but corporations the government controls that own real estate in the united states. the court will see the real estate until the litigation is resolved but just talking about money. money can never compensate for the loss of human life that occurred because they didn't tell us how deadly and horrific this was. rob: if you look at it, money is one thing. a criminal action would be another. i don't know much about the national criminal court, could there be any repercussion for china from that? would they acknowledge that? judge napolitano: i am smiling because it is a great question but there are half a dozen countries that are not members of an don't recognize the international criminal court among which are the united

states and china. we shouldn't laugh at them. that is why i was smiling, you put your finger on it. if china were and if the united states was a member of the criminal court the chinese officials could actually be prosecuted, they could be arrested by interpol, that will never happen in part because it would start a war and in part because there is no legal authority to do that to a country that didn't accept the tree, china is a member of the united nations, china is a member of the security council of the united nations, the united nations charter expressly prohibits deliberate dissemination of a biological agent in the atmosphere to hurt people. you can make a case that china violated the un charter. this is why the president is scratching his head. there is very little he can do. if he engages in a trade war to punish them who is going to suffer the most?

american consumers because they won't be able to buy goods made using cheap labor and cost less because they are made in china. i wish i -- i love being on, i wish i had better news. jillian: we wish we could see you in person but this is good enough. judge andrew napolitano, thanks for joining us. rob: we will be right back. .
