jillian: that is so cute. i love that. carley: if you watch the whole video his folks have enthralled. rob: i miss going to dinner i'm tired of the four things i know how to cook. jillian: got to go. "fox & friends" starts now. have a good day. steve: it is 6:00 in the east on this tuesday, april 21st and we start with a fox news alert. reports this morning that kim jong un may be in critical condition and grave danger following cardiac surgery. rumors have been swirling about the north korean dictator's health for a while. and now u.s. intel agencies are reportedly monitoring those. brian. brian: yeah. he missed the celebration for his grandfather's birthday last week which is really mystifying. last seen at a meeting a few days before. ainsley: south korea's government pushing back on this report saying it has not seen

anything unusual out of the north. the white house says it is aware of these reports but cannot confirm his condition. the white house is, quote: monitoring intelligence that kim jong un is in grave danger after a surgery. this is coming from an unnamed u.s. official with intelligence information. steve: that's right. ainsley, that's what makes this story so puzzling because south korea is saying well, he is just involved in normal activities out in the rural area. but then you have got the united states, the u.s. sources saying he is in grave danger there have been rumors of wild rumors over the last 12 hours or so. we don't know for sure exactly what is going on. but it is unusual for south korea to have one view of what is going on with this guy and the united states to have something completely different, brian. brian: well, we know, number one he is easily 80 pounds overweight. we knows he smokes.

we know people that have been around him when is he meeting with the president and he would he sees if he walkwouldheweezsi. got to be serious to get to our shores. mainstream likely real it. also means his sister, who southwestly the brains of the family and his key aide is seen with him everyone. this could be her moment to asend certainly to be in charge. the only thing about kim jong un, he has killed a lot of his family. and killed any threat that might have been around from when his dad was in charge. it's not clear if the sister would be the one to step in at least temporarily or if there would be somebody else on the move. remember, he also killed his half-brother. so, he has killed a lot of people that would be the obvious next in line. so, kim jong un we'll find out what is going on. also, think about this. we are in the middle of a coronavirus. if you look at somebody with underlying conditions, smokers we know are more susceptible to

this respiratory disease. we don't have any information but logic tells you they have a problem over there with no really healthcare system. you wonder if this is somehow related but right now it's all speculation. ainsley: south korean currency has weakened as a result of this news. you are right, there are reports that he is a heavy drinker and heavy smoker. what's interesting we don't know his exact age. they say he is in his 30's. he is very young. we are not correlating this with corona because we don't have that information. this news is developing and we will continue to report on it, steve. steve: and, at this point, it is largely speculation about his condition. all we know the south koreans say things are normal and the united states sources say grave danger. everything beyond that is speculation. meanwhile, other huge news that broke overnight. the president announced via twitter he plans to sign an executive order later today temporarily suspending suspendig immigration from around the world in an effort to fight the

coronavirus. griff jenkins is live in d.c. where this is already seen some backlash from his democrats. griff, this came out of nowhere last night about 10:00. griff: that's right, steve, ainsley and brian. good morning. unclear what this means for immigration we will find out when we see the executive order. this is what the president said last night unleaners barrage of criticism. attack from the invisible enemy as well as needing to protect the jobs of our great american citizens i will be signing a great american order to temporarily halt immigration into the united states. senator kamala harris firing back saying trump failed to take this crisis seriously from day one. his aban documentment as president has cost lives and now he's shamelessly politicizing this pandemic to double down on his anti-immigrant agenda. enough. mr. president. the american people are fed up. we don't need to protect phlegm immigrants we need to protect

her from you. no response from joe biden. we will see if that comes later. we will see gets some support from congressman jim jordan. >> it kind of makes sense that we are not going to let new people into the country particularly at the very moment when we're trying to restart our economy and prevent any new hot spots and outbreaks from happening. i view this as common sense. griff: guys, this comes as existing travel restrictions remain in place for china. europe, the u.k., south korea, and iran. and it follows yesterday's joint agreement between the u.s., canada, and mexico to extend restrictions on nonessential travel across our shared borders. meanwhile, a federal judge in california yesterday ordered ice to rapidly review and consider the release of all immigrants in detention who may be at greater risk from covid-19. now, as far as this new executive order coming, we will see. one legal challenge is against. safe to say some will certainly come. brian, ainsley, steve? brian: yeah. it's going to be interestin intg

griff. more sentiment people worry about our borders not only to the north where canada and u.s.s. have shut down the border to the south where the u.s. and mexican leaders have agreed we have got to contain this virus and crack down on the border never before. not something asking the government to take great strides to change policies with. and when 16 people test positive with the coronavirus coming across our southern border. have you it think about texas, new mexico, arizona and wondering don't we have to protect the american citizens down there? so we will see where that goes. ainsley, i don't know if you want to weigh in before we bring in the congressman. ainsley: yeah. this just goes back a few weeks ago people were on spring break in new york. many people did decide to go ahead and travel. this was the beginning of march and they were stuck in the country. this is important to know. this is for people trying to come into our country. but i know that people are making plans for the summer. just know if you travel to another country, there is a chance you could be stuck there you just have to think all of this through before you make your plans. many people here in new york are

speculating about the fall, what's going to happen in the fall. are schools going to be reopening then? we'll continue to monitor the situation. steve: right. ainsley: every day is changing. it's fluid, steve. steve: it is, ainsley. what it means is for the most part immediately the departments of state would stop issuing visas. and when you look at the past is prologue during that -- the flu season back in 1918, that pandemic, apparently during that, the united states still allowed in 110,000 immigrants. so this would be unprecedented. but, when you look at how the supreme court upheld the president's travel ban, and then you look at title 42 of the u.s. code, which allows the president to stop immigration for health reasons, he progressive does have the authority. let's bring in congressman brian mast republican member. retired army ranger. he joins us from his gleaming

kitchen down in florida. >> i'm not in the kitchen or the bathroom today. anytime washington, d.c. unfortunately only a few of us here. steve: i understand there could be a vote very shortly. what do you make of the president announcing via twitter he is going to stop immigration? >> well, i mean, we ask ourselves some simple questions. number one where does anyone coming in go to work, right? we have americans across the country that are work without. we add to people on top of that let's bring somebody else in to maybe take one of those jobs from you? what about people that are just coming in for travel? what do they do where they can't necessarily so readily access all of the information that's rapidly changing out there saying don't go here. go to these places. have this kind of personal protective equipment. they are not in tune with all of the local restrictions and everything that might be going on coming down from governors or county commissioners. there are languages wage barriers that exist there. there is lack of ability to have the same kind of testing or know

where the medical facilities are it's just so many things common sense to say now is not the right time to be bringing more folks in that are either going to take jobs from people that don't have them or are not in tune with the local health infrastructure. brian: all right. congressman. we know you are back for a reason. keep in mind, too. a lot of people who have work visas and need people to work on their farms might be upset that they can't get people across the border. we will see how that goes. congressman, talk about why you are back in washington. one of the key reasons is rescue plan 3.5. and, of course, start working on 4. and it looks like a deal is imminent that would give $310 billion for the paycheck protection program. 60 billion for economic disaster loans. mainly to small business. 70 billion for hospitals. 25 billion for the coronavirus testing. many of which aren't considered urgent like the top one which was proposed 10 days ago. the delay sin excusable.

people are just closing up their businesses by the day because nancy won't leave her gleaming kitchen. the big picture, when it this is said and done how discouraged are you when they say in two days even that 300 billion is going to be out of money? >> i don't think there is something more sad to say those who had the ability to do the most did the least that's what speaker pelosi had to say those that could do the most good to do nothing in this unprecedented time. think about what that means in terms of hours of people that are waiting for this assistance. 24 hours, 36 hours. 48 hours that could be the difference of never opening their doors again. what is speaker pelosi going to have to do by the time she finally reach as deal accept eble to her? all right, all you members of congress have you another 24, 36 hours to get back to washington

there is a rag tag group of us that believe no senator what she says. we will be out here and be in her face and let her know we are going to lead by example. ainsley: let's talk about the tough decisions governors have to make? should they reopen or continue the stay-at-home orders. the safety florida where you are from open april 30th. he has opened some of the beaches or are they all open. >> i don't think a lot of them are open yet it. goes down to local county commissioners. we have learned a lot over the last couple weeks how to you distance and protect ourselves. how to stay safe. take that information and apply it to your life and go out there and manage your own risk. this is the essence of what washington, d.c. is really about. it's not about a group of intellectual he a let's that go out there and tell everybody else in the country what to do. washington and government in our country is supposed to be about the exact opposite of that yeah,

we hopefully have intelligent people in office, but people get to go out there and manage their own risk. and live their own lives. and breathe free in the greatest experiment of liberty in the entire world. that's what america is about. we can't allow corona to bring that to an end. steve: well, and congressman, going forward, when these states, including yours reopen slowly, it's got to be phased. it's got to be smart. it's got to be strategic. i know governor desantis has put together a reopen florida task force as it's called. he has given them five days to figure out how to get the state open. and they have got executives from disney and universal and business leaders as with. to try to figure out how to do it because every business has a different requirement. you know, maybe it is easy to do, you know, to be six feet away from somebody. every business has got to figure out what is unique to us. and how to keep our employees safe. and ultimately the customer as

well. >> yeah. the ripples of that that i'm hearing from so many small business owners as an example will restaurants be allowed to have the same capacity? that might change from county to county. if they are not allowed to have the same capacity? what about the land lords charging them a certain amount of rent based upon what they can do for business in those places? if they are in some kind of large place with an anchor facility like a grocery store. some other large box store and they can't have the same capacity in there. what happens to the smaller outlying stores in there. so many rip peoples based on what's going to happen with what is a change to let's say the new normal of life and how people manage that. a lot of questions out there. brian: congressman, you talked about how this country has gone to school over the last five weeks and what we need to do. someone should tell our lawmakers that. that they are not our parents. and when you go and tell tom brady to get out of park when is he working out alone, when you arrest someone and give them a

fine for paddle boarding in malibu. when you start telling people they can't buy home repair equipment and you wonder why they are storming the capitol saying enough of this, i mean, where does logic enter? it seems like florida understands that miami needs a different set of rules because they are in a hot spot. as opposed to jacksonville. why can't the rest of the states figure that out? >> look, i mean, i think we are talking about something that at its core level is not what america is all about. we are allowing ourselves to be ruled by fear. nancy pelosi, above all, allowing herself to try to rule washington by fear. but that's not. brian: and the media. >> that's not what america is. we are a country that has never succumb to fear whether it was 9/11. we laugh in the face. give it a size 10ed in the back side and acknowledge we are going to be mart about it but become stronger as a result of it. that's not happening in the moment. we have got to cut out cancers of fear wherever they exist.

let people know there has been a new education. we know thousand deal with this threat that we said. distance ourselves, have a certain amount of time that we're, say, not right in front of people that are at risk. make sure that we shield ourselves from those risks. from airborne pathogens. things like that. we can do this. we are educated in it. go out there and live, don't live in fear because that's not the american way. brian: exactly. dr. birx even said she spent five hours investigating every website for each state at the department of health to figure out if this was the right move for jacksonville to open their beaches. she said she was so impressed with your state's department of health website. it showed a graph or showed a map of where the hot spots were. and she said don't reopen miami. don't reopen fort lauderdale. but she said there are less than 20 cases per day in jacksonville. businesses would hurt if they closed that area down. or if they don't open the beaches and allow people to go out on the beach. one guy both brians and steve, one guy said i can go into a

walmart and be surrounded by thousands of people but i can't go out on the water and surf by myself? all valid points. brian: absolutely. ainsley: governors need to make decisions for themself. thank you, congressman, for working hard and being in washington. >> wish you the best. ainsley: thank you, you too. hand it over to jillian back in the studio. jillian: that's right. we begin your headlines with extreme weather. complete up across the south today after a deadly storm system rips through for the second ri week in a row. >> dude, that's going right underneath. >> going right underneath this. >> we are going to hit. this. jillian: that tornado roaring across an interstate. three people died in mississippi, alabama and georgia. heavy winds toppling over trees and downpours turning streets into rivers. canadian prime minister justin trudeau promising tougher gun laws after the country's deadliest mass shooting. parliament was working on new measures before it was suspended because of the pandemic. at least 18 people, including a police officer were killed

keep his employees on the payroll. and that's the whole idea. the president of network doctors inc. billie green joins us from his home in marietta, georgia. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. thanks for having me. >> i know, billy, there are all these stories over the last week or so that small businesses have been trying to apply and they are out of money and the program is frozen that's not the situation you ru ran, into is i? >> it was not. i was very fortunate i got involved with the process very early. i also belong, my corporate business in banking with is a know voice, a smaller back here in the area in east cobb. i was able to get on with them. they went through the process with me. i had a gentleman named scott reach out to me, a processor and got all the funding done in pretty quick a time frame.

steve: that's the way it's supposed to happen i have friends in small businesses and they back with the big banks. they went to the big banks what did they tell them? >> very sadly i have quite a few friends of mine that own their own business. and when i reach out to them with excitement for all of us that we're getting this money they did not have the same excitement as i did. a lot of sadness and disappointment and i asked them who they bank with and a lot of them banked with. so bigger banks. because of that like a wells fargo they were not able to get the funding. it was a very slow process by the time the paperwork got done there was no money for them to have. steve: sounds like your advice if you are in a small community go to the small bank, it sounds like they were able to have, in your case, a number of cases that i have heard of, been able

to deal with small businesses more effectively and approve the rates and approve the loans or in your case grant. what is this money, billy, going to allow you to do? >> well, it's really given me an opportunity to be able to keep my staff on board. i have a lot of contractors and vendors that i use for other work. so i'm able to keep them employed and be able to give them the money that they need to be able to put food on their place and keep the lights on and everything else like that. i'm very grateful for that opportunity. steve: and given the fact that you are an i.t. specialist. you are deemed essential. during this pandemic have you been able to travel around the state of georgia which is your territory. i know the governor is trying to reopen the state and he is making some phased moves. you have been out and about throughout georgia. is georgia ready? >> i believe they're.

so i think governor can't has done ajob with the information that's been given to him. i know at the end of the day of this week some bands are being lifted. i know at the end of the month stay-at-home something lifted. he has got his rules and he has got his advisors just like president trump does. that is giving him guidance and direction on what to do. i think for the most part everybody is very much supportive of the decision. steve: sure. of course then it comes down to when they reopen the states then the people just can't go crazy and they have got to remember the only way this is going to work is social distancing and you understand this better than anybody as a marine it's all about personal responsibility. >> i have got to keep myself safe my family safe and that person i don't even know safe. >> absolutely right. as a marine i have learned about logistics. i have learned about

organization. and team work coming together. so i'm very, very crystal clear on the challenges. the staff and members and president trump and everybody and governor kemp have got in order to keep us all safe. in regard to everything that's happening right now. so i 100 percent agree with you on that, sir. steve 1250eu6 all right he is the president of network doctors inc. billy green of georgia. good luck. >> thank you, brother. god bless you. steve: stay safe. 6:27 on the east coast. as the coronavirus sparks fear and uncertainty, our next guest has keeping cool time of crisis. navy seal who helped take down bin laden shares his advice coming up next.

out never helps anybody. if you are able to stay calm for yourself and the feel around you it's better. i know people are going through a hard times. just try to remember that and to be present if you can. be present and think things through. ainsley: what about surrounding yourself? i know your advice is to surround yourself with the right people. that's hard right now. if do you have to surround yourself with anyone you have to social distancing. we are staying in our houses as much as possible. >> correct. just using social media, face time like this. get on zoom call, just think about the people that you love and care about and reach out to them and see how they are doing. ainsley: you say remain present. >> remain present. yeah. just remain in the present. that's one things i learned from the dogs. you never know how long you are going to have with them. never know how long you are going to have with your family members. remain present in the moment and just spend as much quality time with the people that you love as you can. ainsley: i have about five friends that have gotten dogs during all of this because it's kept them occupied at home and

the children happy. you wrote a book called no ordinary dog. my partner from the seal teams to the bin laden raid. tell us about your dog cairo in your book. >> yes, i did. i wrote a book ordinary dog sitting here beside me. a little bit about cairo. he is a great dog. a hard worker. and not only can he do his job well when it came time to come home, he had a switch turn it on and off. turn it off and he was kind of a family dog. you could trust him around kids, women, children, other animals. he got attacked actually by a dull dog once after retirement. he didn't retaliate at all. his arm got filleted open a little bit but he didn't do anything. ainsley: really? very calm. >> very calm. ainsley: you say in your book that he saved your life and that he helped take out bin laden. tell the folks at home those two stories. >> yeah. he saved -- he definitely saved. he has been shot before the bin

laden op. he definitely saved people's lives that night i would say at least from getting injured. me getting out of military was a little rough. i will would say he helped me quite a bit during that transition. as you know, how important dogs are around just having a present can help you so much invaluable. and then the bin laden. what was your question specifically? i'm sorry? ainsley: i know he helped in operation neptune spear. i wanted to know what he did? what was his role? >> so valuable. their noses are amazing. they can find explosives if anything is set up. ambushes if anybody is hiding. any false walls or hidden rooms. he would use his nose to find explosives. dog are a very valuable tool. >> they are, they make us so happy. they are our best friend.

we're returning $2 billion dollars to our auto policyholders through may 31st. because now, more than ever, being a good neighbor means everything. like a good neighbor, state farm is there. >> based on the record low price of oil that you have been seeing, we're filling up our national petroleum reserves and we're looking to put as much as 75 million barrels into the reserves themselves. that would top it out that would be the first time in a long time it's been topped out. get it for the right price. steve: there have you got president trump last night looking to top off the national

petroleum reserve after oil prices plunged. the future prices plunged zero for the first time ever. brian: he knows a good deal when he hears it. the morning u.s. crew trading higher. hard to get lower. here to discuss this stuart varney holy spirit of varney and company fox business. stuart, some questions to this. number one, when the economy slowed down, did they ever expect oil use to slow down this much and if so why were they keeping that a secret? >> nobody expected oil demand around the world to crash as much as it has. we used to use 100 million barrels of oil a day. now we are using about 60, 65 million barrels of oil a day. no one could really see that global shutdown coming. by the way, brian, this crash in the price of oil and it's all the way down as you know, that's not good news. it's bad news all around. it means that american drillers will stop drilling, stop producing because if you can't

sell it and you can't store it. you don't bring it out on the ground. number two, it means job losses, texas, north dakota in particular, bankruptcies for smaller, less well capitalized drillers. there are a lot of bankruptcies coming and a temporary halt to america's exports of oil. that would damage our position as global energy leaders. it gives china a smaller advantage. they have got no oil. and the oil that they're buying now that their factories are reopening. that's dirt cheap. that's an economic advantage to them. brian, there is one point here. gas will get extremely cheap. it's cheap already. the national average is down to 1.81, per gallon. what's the use of that if consumers are not commuting to work, if they are not taking vacations and flying. using jet fuel and not visiting friends and family? you can't take advantage of extremely low gas prices if you are not back to work. that's where we stand. universally, bad news for this

scratch in the price of oil. ainsley: yeah, you are right. not filling up our cars to gross to the grocery store or picking up food at night to support them. i got an inspection and filled up my cart other day the guy said it's $40. i realized because oil prices are so low. what do you make of aoc? she was celebrating this crash. tweeting and quickly deleted it. you absolutely love to see it. >> i'm not surprised that she absolutely loves to see it. first of all, this virus and the global shutdown has reduced co 2 emissions more than any other event in human history as far as i know that fits very well with the green new deal. secondly, she is a socialist. she has no time for the capitalist stock market so, yeah, she is absolutely love to see it, okay, she deleted that because she now realizes, perhaps, that that is really being gleeferl about human misery and that's not the

position a politician should take. so i think it's deplorable that she put out that tweet in the first place. and i'm not surprised that she took it down. steve: full length love to see it this low interest rates means it's the right time to worker led massive investment in our green infrastructure to save our planet. cough. dow jones futures are down again. i was reading somewhere this morning that a part of that has to do with the news about he could be in grave danger according to u.s. intel, how does that impact the stock market? >> instability, that particular part of the world which is very much in the news danger signal for stock market investors.

added element of risk to a stock market investment with that kind of thing going on. now, its rumors and speculation. we don't know the truth of it at all. but, when you get that kind of speculation surfacing. you get added anxiety added to the mix. if you add that anxiety to this crash in the price of oil, and the relation that we are frankly in a depression, can you expect some reaction on the stock market. but, steve, i would caution you we are still at 23,000 on the dow industrials. up from the 18,000 level just a few weeks ago. so we're still holding on to a pretty good recovery from the lows of february and march. steve: sure. we should point out apparently the white house is familiar with those reports that his condition is grave. but nothing has been, you know, officially nobody at the white house is on the record regarding it. stuart, you have got a busy day. it's going to start today at 9:00 over on fox business.

stuart, thank you very much for dropping by. >> thank you, all. ainsley: thank you. brian: we will see. i think when the government these states open up. things will start to go up even further on the market after kim jong un who is the definition of instability. it's just kind of ironic that the markets is reacting to his possibly health struggles. meanwhile jillian meally no struggles here after successful two hour stint this morning from 4:00 to 6:00 if my clock is right. she is back to update us here this morning right, jillian? jillian: you are always, right, jillian. ainsley: no, he is not. brian: i heard that. jillian: we start off with a sad story here. dozens of people paying their respects to a fallen texas police officer. look at this video making his final trip home. the procession in san marcos passing under a giant american flag draped from two fire trucks to honor officer justin putnam. the five and a half year veteran of the force responding to a

[tires squealing] [crash] jillian: that is scary, the reported stolen toyota camry hitting a driveway slope before launching into the living room and kitchen. the family was sleeping inside. they were not injured thankfully the driver and passenger ran from the california crash. can you believe that? no arrests have been made. will will new york city mayor bill de blasio appears shocked to find out criminals released from prison over covid-19 concerns are still committing crimes. watch this. >> i think it's unconscionable just on a human level that folks were shown mercy and this is what some of them have done. we are going to keep, you know, just buckling down on it make sure there is close monitoring and supervision to the maximum

extent possible and the nypd is going to keep on doing what they are doing. more than 1400 inmates granted. 50 have reportedly been rearrested for crimes. a look at your headlines. send it back to you. ainsley: thank you, jillian. hand it over to our other friend janice dean. good morning, j.d. >> we are watching the potential for severe weather today across two areas. one of them the northeast. yes, here in the northeast from d.c. up toward boston. the potential for large hail, even damaging winds perhaps each isolated tornadoes. the other area across the southern plains. take a look across the northeast as this front goes through area of low pressure goes up to canada and wind in excess of 40, maybe even 50 miles per hour behind this frontal system. so we're going to watch that and then later on into tomorrow, we're going to deal with the threat for severe storms across some of these same areas that were hit hard over the last couple of weeks. the southern plains and the mississippi river valley, hail,

damages winds, isolated tornadoes and heavy rainfall as well. we will watch all of it from my basement in the fox news weather center. back to you. [laughter] steve: the fox news weather bunker. all right, j.d., thank you very much. [laughter] meanwhile 11 minutes before the top of the hour. images are growing nationwide over stay-at-home orders in various states. but where do we draw the line between public safety and personal freedom? that's the question. the judge is on deck with that coming up next.

as we work to get through these times together, you may not be thinking about blood donation, but blood is needed to save the lives of people who are sick with a range of illnesses. it's easy and safe to give. if you are in good health, please donate. we need heroes now. visit red cross blood dot org

to schedule an appointment.

brian: all right. protests ramping up with residents across the country demanding state governors lift heir stay-at-home orders and. so restrictive orders in the stay-at-home orders they want freedom and public safety. how do you split both amid the pandemic. let's ask fox news senior analyst host of liberty file on fox nation judge andrew napolitano. judge, you acknowledge a pandemic first one in 100 plus years, extraordinary times. but what is over the line in your estimation? >> the government can't nullify

the bill of rights, brian, meaning the government can't stop you from expressing your opinion about the government. it can't stop you from assembling in public as long as it's peaceful and you are not contagious. it can't stop you from getting online to receive palms in front of the catholic church. getting online to talk with a bull horn out of your car. it can't stop from you working thought a park alone whether you are tom brady the greatest football. [no audio] or whether you are just going to work out by yourself. the government has to recognize the rights that are in the constitution still exist in bad times as well as in good and has to treat people equally. so if you can get in a line of cars to buy a cheeseburger at mcdonald's. you can get in a line of cars to express your opinion about the government. brian: if i'm in a kayak in the ocean, by myself, how can they

possibly rationalize finding me for that how can they tell me i can get in a motor boat but can get in a could into. it's not the panic or frustration it's going over the line. constitutionally where is that line? the line is -- it's a great question, brian, thank you for it. the line is that the governors who have made up these laws have made up are not laws, the only laws that we have to obey and the only laws for which we can be punished by not obeying are those enacted by the legislature. governor murphy enact in new jersey, way up there with governor whitmer in michigan in terms of trampling civil liberties makes up a law that you can go into a row boat but not a canoe. there is no rational basis to distinguish between the two. the thing he made up basically just a rule and guideline cannot have the force of law. the bad news is that the police

are not in a position to distinguish. the good news is, once these cases are tried, when the pandemic is over. there isn't a judge in the country who is going to recognize the power of a governor or a mayor to make up a law off the top of his head, to make up a punishment off of the top of his head to require people to comply with it. that's not democracy in america. and that's not what the constitution requires judge, have you it on the impossible. you look like a judge in a polo shirt. you didn't need a striped suit. judge: this is a blazer, not a robe. brian: coming up next ron desantis and ambassador robert o'brien. that's what they look like.

a lot has changed in the last few weeks. but one thing hasn't: breakfast. and, if that feels like a little bit of comfort, it's thanks to... the farmers, the line workers and truckers, the grocery stockers and cashiers, and the food bank workers, because right now breakfast as usual is more essential than ever. to everyone around the world working so hard to bring breakfast to the table, thank you. many of life's moments in thare being put on hold. are staying at home, to everyone around the world working so hard at carvana, we understand that, for some, getting a car just can't wait. to help, we're giving our customers up to 90 days to make their first payment. shop online from the comfort of your couch, and get your car with touchless delivery to keep you safe.

let's be honest. quitting smoking is hard.

like, quitting every monday hard. quitting feels so big. so try making it smaller, and you'll be surprised at how easily starting small can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette. ainsley: this is a fox news alert, president trump vows the u.s. will fight the war against covid-19 while safely reopening america. five states have announced plans to ease restrictions and reopen some businesses this week. steve. steve: that's right, ainsley, half of all u.s. states are planning to lift stay-at-home orders on or behalf the first of may. the trump administration warning massachusetts is seeing a surge in cases and could be -- could be the next hot spot. brian. brian: all right. it seems that griff jenkins is live in washington as president trump plans to temporarily suspend all immigration to fight

coronavirus. griff, this caught a lot of people by surprise where do we go from here. griff: it certainly caught everyone from surprise. waiting for more details from the white house. unclear what this means for immigration. think visas, think green cards or what programs would be affected. this is what the president tweeted at 10:00 p.m. last night. in light of the attack from the invisible enemy as well as needing to protect the jobs of our great american citizens, i will be signing an executive order to temporarily suspend immigration into the united states. that unleashed a firestorm of condemnation by democrats. among them, congressman jerry nadler tweeting president trump now seeks to distract us from his fumbled covid-19 response. by trying to put the blame on immigrants. the truth is immigrants are our front lines, protects us as doctors, nurses and health aids

the president did get some support from congressman jim jordan. >> it kind of makes sense that we're not going to let new people into the country, particularly at the very moment when we're trying to restart our economy and appreciate any hot spots from happening. i view this as common sense. >> this comes as existing travel restrictions for much of the world remain in place. china you, europe. u.k. and iran among them. follows yesterday's joint agreement between the u.s., can't and mexico toe to extend restrictions on nonessential travel across our shared borders. we will see where this goes. meanwhile a federal judge in california has ordered ice to rapidly start reviewing and considering releasing all immigrants into detention who may at greater risk from covid-19. we will find out if the white house challenges that legally. as far as this new executive order goes, there is no legal challenges yet, but, i think it's safe to say we will see them soon. brian, ainsley, steve? ainsley: all right. thank you so much, griff. when we heard this news yesterday, brian, you brought up a good point at the top of the 6:00 hour.

you were talking about the pharmacy. farmers. we have owe pairs and we rely on them. i go to work at 3:00 in the morning. so i need her there and i need her in my house so that she can help me with my daughter. so many families rely on child care from other countries. thesowe pares come here on work. they have to get visas renews we have been talking about how that is going to happen. these are questions that we have that hopefully the president will roll out a plan and informed on all off this is going to effect all of our lives. meanwhile we had congressman brian mast on our show. brian: i know a lat people who have they come here legally. someone we know is waiting on one for matter months now. the problem with immigration because of the pandemic. i wonder if there could be a testing procedure done once things settle down here in a month or so so those people that are coming here legally through

work visas come here work visas and maybe be students in the fall. i'm not sure how that's going to go but we will see. ainsley: all right. steve? steve: ultimately what the president did say last night was in addition to stopping the spread of coronavirus he was trying people in the country who are not working. this would help make sure that they keep their job rather than somebody from another country coming in and taking that we had on with us just about an hour ago, congressman brian mast from the great state of florida. and he is on the president's in the same wavelength here is he talking about why immigration should be restricted at this point during this global pandemic. >> where does anybody coming in go to work, flight we have americans across the country

without work. do we add to people on top of that saying hey, let's bring somebody else in to maybe take one of those jobs from you? there are so many things that are just common sense to say now is not the right time to be bringing more folks in that are either going to take jobs from people that don't have them or are not in tune with the local health infrastructure. steve: well, and, griff, touched a little bit upon whether or not there would be legal challenges. i was reading this morning in the "the washington post." they talked to somebody from the kato institute. they cited title 42 of the u.s. code which allows the president to stop immigration for health reasons and also cited the 2018 u.s. supreme court ruling that upheld the president's travel ban. the only other thing to remember about this is there is no suggestion it would be long term. at this point it looks like it would be temporary as why know the president would like to open things as quickly as possible. brian. brian: let's talk about somebody

who is trying to open things up as quickly as possible governor ron desantis. the governor one of the slower ones to shut things down is now one of the first to open things up. stay-at-home order expires on april 30th and we saw at jacksonville beach yesterday for the most part when the beaches were open for two separate shifts during the day it went pretty well. governor, what went into that decision what's next from florida. >> we have great task force for people all over. industries particularly small business and we are putting together a lot of great ideas for what the next phase looks like in florida. i have got to give credit to the people of florida. did you go back six weeks. everybody, particularly in the excel immediate saying florida was going to be worse than new york. obviously we have a very elderly population. if you look that's not true. new york, for example, has 25 times the number of faculties of

florida even though we have 2 million more people last night we had 730 people statewide in the icu. people said our hospitals are going to be overrund. we have increased hospital bed space and icu bed space during the pandemic so there were fewer beds available in february than there are now. florida has flattened the curve. people have done a great job. i think we understand that can you do both you can at this point to fight covid-19 but get people back to work and have society function again. i never did draconian orders here like you see in some of these other states where dad would get arrested or get cited for taking his daughter to the park. that doesn't work. we have never done that we have been very reasonable with the people of florida and they have responded. ainsley: would you update us on the testing? the vice president said yesterday he says he has enough testing capacity today for every state to go into phase one.

update us on that in the field hospital in miami that will be great. >> florida we have done now 80,000 tests in south florida. we have tested one for every 50 residents. that's where most of our cases are what when he they have done by unlocking high throughput machines they increased cost per test reimbursement per test 50 to $100. looking in discussion with some of these labs who can put through a lot of test in a 24-hour period that lynn crease our ability to do this. we also now have this point of care abbott labs test that our hospitals are using. we are trying to get more for nursing homes. we have strike teams in the nursing homes that are doing surveillance testing. which is very, very important. so, if you go back two months of where testing was not only here but internationally and look of all that's happened. it's been unprecedented explosion. we will do more in florida. we will do the serology test to

test for the antibodies. you look what's been done in california, some of these places, and the indication is that that far more people have had this than we know. that actually is kind of a good things it. means the disease is less lethal than we thought. we want to know how the antibodies are in the state of florida. in terms of the field hospitals, ainsley, we plan for hospital capacity. we wanted to make sure we had enough. we different field hospitals. army corps helped us at the miami beach convention center. every field hospital in the state of florida right now sits empty and that's a good thing. ainsley: that is a good thing. steve: that is a good thing. governor, i know that you have appointed a reopened florida task force and have you tasked them with trying to figure out how to reopen as much as you can in a phased approach in the next five days. i saw that you have freedom executives and disney and universal trying to think of thousand get the tourists back. that is really what is impacting

florida. because florida is number one industry tourism right now back at the end of the season down is there one of the suggestion to get people back, when they check into one of the miami hotels or any motel, maybe you take their temperature just to make sure that they are okay but then there is the problem it could be a false positive or a false negative and you wind up making it worse. >> so i would say this, steve. it's amaze the ideas that the businesses are already thinking about. they have been thinking deep buy about this for weeks and weeks a lot of great ideas put on the table. i'm in discussion with places like disney. they are so far ahead the curve. i think everyone wants to make sure that we do it safely. yeah, you think about it. if you own a hotel in miami, the last thing you want is to do a false negative and then have a small outbreak in your hotel.

so they are very keen on safety. and i think that they are going to be leading the way on the innovation. so we'll have some guidelines, of course, but i think a lot of the businesses are going to go above and beyond. the people want to be confident that it's safe. it could actually be safe. but if they don't think it is, then that's bad for business. so all the business people i have talked to in all industries in florida are very keen on that. brian: governor, we noticed the new york governor putting together of a regional coalition of delaware and pennsylvania and massachusetts and connect cut and new jersey and western coalition of three separate states. have you thought about consolidating with south carolina and georgia and others, perhaps, and put together one or are you just going to leave florida by itself in making that decision? >> well, we are actually kind of doing both. so we are -- we have had a meeting with all the southeastern governor, mississippi, alabama, georgia, florida, south carolina. and tennessee. and we shared a lot of ideas.

i think we will be on the same page some stuff. as you guys know. florida is about five states in and of itself. we have a situation where we have three counties in southeast florida that has over 60% of our hospitalizations to date. i have other parts like northeast florida. you know, their deaths per 100,000 is like 1.6. you know, whereas a place like new york would be 90 deaths per 100,000. this has impacted the state differently. and i think how you approach it. it may not be uniform in every jurisdiction in florida. so, yes, we're going to work regionally. buff i have got to work regionally within my own state to make sure we thread the needle properly. ainsley: right. we are seeing that in new york such a hot spot in mid-atlantic and out here on long island. the upper part of the state not so much. that's a tough task that you have. same with even miami and fort lauderdale and jacksonville. thank you, governor, for being on with us. >> thanks, guys. ainsley: you are welcome. jillian is back in studio.

hey, jillian. jillian: good morning. start right now with this fox news alert. reports this morning that kim jong un is in grave danger after heart surgery and his condition is being monday tored by u.s. intelligence agencies. rumors have been swirling about the north korean dictator's health after he missed this celebration for his grandfather's birthday last week. he was last seen at a meeting 10 days ago. south korea's government pushing back saying it has not seen anything unusual out of the north. fox sources say the white house is aware of the report. now, let's talk about extreme weather. clean up continues across the south today after a deadly storm system rips through for the second week in a row. >> dude, that's like going right underneath. we are going right underneath it? >> we are going to hit. this. >> that tornado roaring across a florida interstate south of owe callla. three people died in mississippi, alabama, and georgia. heavy winds toppling over trees. downpours turning streets into

rivers. take a look at this dramatic video showing the moment belgium air force fighter jets intercept armed russian jets maneuvering over american destroyer ship. the planes were flying over the uss donald cook off lithuania. russian jets appeared to be armed with missiles while flying in international space. and no one is above the law in tampa, not even the city's new star quarterback. >> i always tell people i'm not want to get [inaudible] a lot of our park staff, they patrol around just to make sure that their people aren't in contact sports and things. saw an individual working thought one of our downtown parks. and she went over to tell him that it was closed and it was tom brady. he has been cited. >> staff throwing tom brady out of the park that is closed over the coronavirus outbreak. tom brady joined the tampa bay buccaneers after 20 years with the patriots. so there you have it. not even star power can allow

you to work out there. ainsley: by himself. brian: it makes no sense. makes no sense. he takes pride in that. steve: welcome wagon imagining. brian: what an embarrassment. steve: all right. jillian. thank you. 7:15 now here in the east. nancy pelosi's late night ice cream display has a lot of people outraged. now the trump campaign is using that for a new political ad. how effective will that be? that's a question. jason chaffetz is on deck coming up. i can save you... lots of money with liberty mutual! we customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need! only pay for what you need.

♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> now sands have been forced to wait for hours at food banks all across the country. >> this is chocolate.

and then we have some other chocolate. [laughter] brian: wow. and that's a little of the new campaign ad that the trump campaign has rolled out criticizing speaker pelosi a34eu9d delay for struggling americans. she is on with james core continue making fun of the fact that she loves expensive ice cream. joining us now to weigh in on politically savvy ad yet effective jason chaffetz. former chairman of oversight in the house. i thought this ad was excellent right to the point and factual. she did exactly that she was sitting there with two huge refij rarts in a house overlooking the water while homeless sit below and while people struggle to keep their businesses alive. she wouldn't ivan come back to washington and work out a deal to pay for small business. >ouch. that ad is so effective because it's in her own words in a time where people are struggling at every single level.

she is so disconnected. and while people are waiting for their ppp, the paycheck protection program check or the replenishment or ability to get a loan, she is out there dealing with ice cream. the house is not even in session right now. they are not even scheduled to go back until may 8th. and it's a disgusting display and so totally out of touch. remember, donald trump will be on the ballot in november with 435 members of the house of representatives. and so, anybody who is running on the republican side of the aisle, they are going to try to tie their democratic opponent to nancy pelosi because that's the first vote you take as a member of congress. who do you want to be the speaker and republicans obviously want to displace nancy pelosi. brian: she has gotten a pass on it. this ad hopefully will make people take a second look. there is going to be, if this deal is correct. 3.5 rescue plan. not the 4, not the 3. will there will be $310 billion

for the paycheck protection program. hopefully some will go to small business owners. 60 billion for the economic disaster lone. 25 billion for testing. the other three might be necessary but not yet. one was an emergency. the others were jammed in there because that's the agenda of democrats. and many of which are not on board yet like aoc. she wants guaranteed income for everybody. >> it drives me nuts that congress is in recess. you know, the postal folks are out there delivering the mail. the truckers are out there delivering our goods. you got first responders and people working in hospitals. and congress is in recess. how can they not be actually in washington, d.c. doing their job and it should be totally focused on just covid-19, just that just get that done, folks. but instead they're in recess. and i blame mitch mcconnell in the senate. and i blame nancy pelosi in the

house. brian: yeah. a lot of them are coming back today. tuesday the senate. wednesday should be voting in the house. so, within the paycheck protection program and i don't want to be the guy yelling from the stands at the coach on the sideline. and they worked hard to put this together. but harvard has gotten -- the reason why this is out of money, harvard got $8.7 million in federal aid. this is a institution with a huge endowment. they never -- they don't even have to charge people for tuition. the pot belly got $10 million in a loan for sales of 410 million last year. i'm all for the 6,000 employees but in order of who needs this money more i care less about pot belly and ruth chris steak house than i do the small dry cleaner and health club down the block. offsetting writers here, jason. >> i can totally see how it's difficult for the department of

correctionalry to just immediately pars these types of things out. you would hope that somebody like harvard who has literally tens of billions of dollars in their endowment would go help somebody else in massachusetts or put this out to somebody else or forego it or not even make the application for it. but they did. and it makes me disgusted because, you are right. there is that -- we have a place, it's a sushi place. it burned to the ground. and here in utah. and so they rebuilt it and they opened it up about three weeks before this covid thing happened. and that poor family is just going to be devastated. those are the types of people that actually need this help, not harvard. brian: right. quick turn in topic. attorney general bill barr basically came out and said china is our number one enemy and foe militarily and nickly. today in their national newspaper they talked about how america as a democracy is dying and a country is dying they say

we can't even fight a disease and better built to fight a disease. they don't bring up the fact that they launched this disease and sickened the world. where are we going with this relationship? >> donald trump has highlighted this at the beginning and rightfully so. as a president and as a nation we needed to worry about iran, russia, north korea, but right at the top of the list, anybody who has looked ought intelligence knows that china is the number one problem. brian: there is going to be hell to pay people have to realize with china and free money comes extortion and wow way and belton road program when you can't make the payments they take the collateral and that sun like what america does. thanks some, jason chaffetz. >> thanks, brian. brian: all right. coming up straight ahead. have you got it. college freshman selling lawn signs to help our healthcare workers. he has already raised thousands of dollars. he will join us live with how you can help. that story next.

has been on essential businesses due to covid-19 because we are an essential business. helping you solve your changing communication and business challenges is our commitment. we're in this together.

it means being there for each other. that's why state farm is announcing the good neighbor relief program we know our customers are driving less, which means fewer accidents. so state farm is returning $2 billion dollars to auto policyholders for the period ending may 31st. and we'll continue making real time decisions to best serve you - our customers. because now, more than ever, being a good neighbor means everything. like a good neighbor, state farm is there.

♪ steve: welcome back. it is 7:30 in the east on this tuesday. april 21st. americans all across the country are coming together to help honor our healthcare professionals and the heroes on

the front lines. this includes our next guest who is a college freshman who is selling as you can see right there. thank you signs to provide meals for medical workers in his state. and his area. and he has already raised thousands of dollars to do just that here with more. georgetown university freshman lima marshall. lima, good morning tletliam mar. >> i was going for a run in my town one day and one of my age ins had a huge banner up that was thinking first responders. local first responders. so i thought like a great universal idea might be to sell lawn signs. giving a similar appreciation and donating the profits to a local nonprofit. so i came home that night, mocked up a lawn sign idea. kind of brain stormed with my parents. realized i could donate these

funds to feed the front line a local nonprofit organization run by a neighborhood lillian walsh. feed the front line don't united states meals and supplies to jersey shore medical center in monmouth county. and i ordered my first 75 and we were off from the beginning. steve: that is fantastic. you ordered 7 75 from a local printer to help your local businessman who is struggling, no doubt as small businesses are right now. how many signs are you up to so far? >> so currently we are about -- we are about up to 1700. which is great, great number. steve: you are kidding. >> that's a lot of signs. it's great. i'm ecstatic about it. steve: no kidding. i heard governor murphy of new jersey gave you a shoutout for what you are doing. which is fantastic. and it's a real tip of the hat to you. he mentioned you are a business major.

most business majors try to figure a way to make money for themselves. but you are taking your business acumen and figuring out how to make money for these heros to salute the heroes and help them out. what's the reaction been, liam? >> the reaction ha has been gre. i wanted to figure out. i'm home from college, obviously i'm taking online classes from georgetown. i wanted to figure out a way from home that i could help out the community 2349 best i can giving thanks to first responders that are risking their lives every day and all front line personnel. so i thought this would be a great way give back. the response has been amazing. i was shocked when governor murphy gave a shoutout. it's really blown up since then. which is just amazing. raising a lot of coverage for a really good cause. steve: sure. i know that you have sold a lot in the region where you are down the jersey shore. have people reached out to you across the country to ask you questions about how they could

do it or how to buy many the signs for them? >> yeah. of course. so, although i started to fundraiser delivering to a few towns around me in monmouth county and still just delivering to those few towns. what i am asking people to do my friend kate from georgetown started a fundraiser similar to my own in california. i have people doing similar fundraisers in pennsylvania and new york. which is just great. although i can't reach a super large span of people, just with the amount of resources that i have. i think it's great that other people can start fundraisers of their own whether they're creating lawn signs selling cookies, donating to food banks or whether they are donating to hospitals. this can get started all over the country and really great way to show appreciation and give back. steve: that's fantastic. such a nice thing you are doing. you mentioned you are a freshman at georgetown university. what's it been like. >> yes. >> doing the online stuff and what does the future look like?

i have heard some legions already are thinking about maybe no in person classes next year. they haven't made that determination yet at georgetown. but you have got to wonder what your sophomore year is going to look like. >> no. of course i do. so obviously i was pretty disappointed to hear i would have to finish the rest of my semester at home. so, you know, a lot of professors are working really hard to get their online classes together. and overall it's been a pretty swift transition. i don't know what the future holds. i don't know what georgetown has in place for policy next year. but i think definitely if we have to move online for another semester, i think georgetown and other colleges definitely will be able to make it happen. steve: yeah. well, there you go. one thing the silver lining is food is actually better at home, generally. than at the dorm. so, that's always something to think about. lima marshall, you are doing a great thing. thank you very much for joining us and good luck to you. >> thank you so much.

steve: for more storms about people going the extra mile. will visit foxnews.com/america together. right now we are all together. all right. it's 25 minutes before the top of the hour. kim jong un reportedly, according to one report, in grave condition overnight after having cardiac surgery a week or two ago. what is the white house saying about it this morning? well, coming up, we have national security advisor robert o'brien with us live. you're going to want to hear that he's next. now, simparica trio simplifies protection.

had a procedure and after he missed this celebration for his grandfather's birthday last week. now those rumors are reportedly on the radar of u.s. intelligence agencies. brian. >> all right. he was last seen at a meeting 10 days ago. south korea's government pushing back aing it has not seen anything usual out of the north. fox sources say the white house is aware of the reports. but can't confirm his condition. let's see if we can get the answer from robert o'brien. national security advisor. robert, great to see you. let me ask you, what could you tell us about kim jong un. south korea no problem or the rest of the world that there is? >> well, we are monitoring these reports very closely. as you know, north korea is a very closed society. there is not a free press there. things they provide including many things including the health of kim jong un. we are monitoring those developments closely. people should know that we have

a great intelligence community. the president, the vice president, secretary pompeo, secretary esper. general mealy. we have a lot of watch men on the towers during these this coronavirus crisis making sure that america is safe. whether it's from the virus or from adversaries abroad. so we're keeping a close eye on developments in north korea as we are with other parts of the world. ainsley: ambassador, could you tell us why the president decided to sign this executive order? he says he going to temporarily suspend immigration. >> look, we are trying to do everything. the president is trying to do everything can he to put the health of the american people first in this crisis. this is one step. it's not dissimilar to the restrictions on travel from china that he implemented back on january 29th. at the very outset of this public crisis. we think that that -- those restrictions save saved thousands or tens of thousands of lives. they were criticized at the time. one candidate. vice president biden said it was

xenophobic. the president is not going to be guided by politics here. is he going to be guided-i do what's best for the health of the american people. steve: sure, ambassador, of course, this is just as the banner says below us, it is a temporary suspension of immigration. and we know that federal statute does give him the authority in cases of public health and things like that. although it is unprecedented. back in the 1918 pandemic with the flu, i think the united states still allowed in 100,000 people. so, we get the part about how it's trying to stem the tide of incoming infections. but, at the same time, the president in his tweet, ambassador, made it clear that this was also about safeguarding american jobs. because there are so many people out of work right now and they need jobs. >> well, this virus came to our

shores from overseas. sadly. and not only has it affected the health and caused the death of many americans in our hearts and prayer goes out to those who have family members who are sick or struggling who have losted loved ones. and i was watching the interview thayou did with liam helping wih first responders. doctors and nurses. custodial staff on front lines keeping the hospitals free from infection. doing a great job. there has been an economic cost. president is looking out for americans on both fronts at every turn. brian: obviously there is a big push to find out what china knew and why we still don't know everything about it. the president saying we need to get in there and look around and find out where this all started where it was the wuhan lab or actually in the wet market which mysteriously has reopened. when the president complimented the president of china early. walls it because he was under a -- under the allusion that he

was getting all accurate and the full story about this virus? and does he regret those compliments that he threw at president xi. >> no the president is always very exriment tri in his dealings with the foreign leaders. if the american people can be on the phone calls that he has with our adversaries and friends is he a real committee. he was the same with president xi. he was clear from the outset we need to get the cdc into china there is a huge burden on china to tell us where this came from. did it come from a lab? did it come from a wet market? neither of those are good answers. right? these wet marks are our --- brian: it's incumbent on them. robert, don't you belief it's not something they are obligated to do it and they still haven't done it. and i'm just wondering when are we going to get punitive with them and why are we just continuing to put the analysis hat on and we don't get more aggressive with them to come clean once and for all?

>> well, i think we are being pretty tough on china. there are lawsuits been filed by folks out there. some folks are looking how to deal with china going forward. we certainly are remember, this is the fourth or fifth plague come out of china since 2,000. avian flu, sars, h1n1. whether these are coming out of labs that have sloppy procedures. whether they're coming out of wet markets that are really horrific if you watch some of those things. we have got to stop. this we have to stop the export of these viruses from china. we are going to make our position and we have made our position on these issues very clear to the chinese. i think it's becoming a worldwide call now that china has to come forward with the information. i mean, if you take a look at how they have handled the virus with the whistleblowers disappearing and news men and women from the "wall street journal" and "new york times" being kicked out of the country, and you contrast that to how tijuana or singapore or other countries have handled this. there is just a real big disparity there and we have to get to the bottom of what

happened. ainsley: ambassador, how do we do that hold them accountable when they cover things up. they are getting rid of the whibs, you know we are not going to be able to get that n. that lab and find out what happened if it really did start there. how do you do this? how do you investigate china? >> well, we have a lot of tools in our tool kit. one of the things i know and i think there are americans -- i understand there are lawsuits that are being filed here against china. ainsley: yeah, class action. >> we will see how it all plays out. some of these trial lawyers, they are pretty dogged and the chinese have a lot of assets around the world. we will see what happens. but right now what we are doing is calling on the chinese to cooperate and we want to get along with china. we have a trade deal. we would like to get along with china. but china needs to behave in a fashion that makes them responsible player in the world. and, unfortunately, with the offset of this virus it wasn't great. they have got to fix that. steve: all right. ambassador robert o'brien has a great op-ed, the pages of the

"wall street journal." check it out if you get the paper or online. sir, thank you very much for joining us from the north lawn. it looks like a nice day in d.c. >> a beautiful day here. thank you. steve: all right. and that's it right there. all right. meanwhile it's about 13 minutes before the top of the hour. and jillian joins us from our world headquarters on this tuesday. jillian? jillian: that's right. good morning. start with this story. today protesters in several states are demanding to reopen the economy. this as thousands in pennsylvania, arizona, maine and missouri ignored social distancing guidelines demanding governors ease restrictions on nonessential businesses. fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano joined us earlier to weigh in. >> the government can't nullify the bill of rights, brian. meaning the government can't stop you from expressing your opinion about the government. it can't stop you from assembling in public as long as it's peaceful and you are not contagious. jillian: facebook is now

♪ ainsley: president trump pushing for funds to help hospitals during the pandemic as some states reopen their hospitals for elective surgeries. here to react is fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel. hey, dr. siegel. >> good morning, ainsley. how are you?

ainsley: good morning, good morning. i'm great. we see these hospitals. they are busy. we know that healthcare workers are in there getting paychecks and working. but that's not necessarily the case. the hospitals still need to make money and a lot of healthcare workers are not working, right? >> exactly. ainsley. that's why my own hospital nyu langone and several other hospitals met with president trump last week to talk about this potentially at least $100 billion going towards hospital bailouts. and i will tell you the primary reason. it's because hospitals make money off of surgical procedures. that's the number one thing and all other procedures. things like colonoscopies. things like cardiac sentence. a million cardiac sentence are done in the u.s. every year. 15,000 per stent. other things that make money for hospitals are mris. 40 million mris done every year in the u.s. 80 million cat scans. we are talking about $250 billion worth of kat scans done a year. and a lot of this is put on hold. and as we start to come back from phase one.

the question is going to be, ainsley. which procedures come back and which don't? i spoke to our head of organ transplant at nyu langone robert montgomery. you remember we covered that on the show. he said they are only doing emergency organ transplant right now. the elective ones. the ones where people can wait longer are on hold until may. those are big money makers for hospitals and obviously hugely important for patients. ainsley: all right. dr. siegel, some of these hospitals are getting bailouts. hopefully more to come. pharmaceutical sales reps and medical device sales men need to get back to work too. they're losing money. thank you so much. dr. oz and senator ted cruz both going to join us live in the next hour. ♪ some companies still have hr stuck between employees and their data.

brian: fox news alert, kim jong un is in grave danger. reports this morning that north korea leader in critical condition after heart surgery. ainsley: rumors have been swirling about the north korean dictator's health after he missed celebration for his grandfather's birth last week and rumors on the radar of u.s. intelligence, steve. steve: that's right, ainsley. he was last seen at a meeting 10 days ago. south korea's government pushing back, though, saying it has not seen anything unusual out of the north. sources say the white house is aware of the reports but cannot

confirm his condition. morning, everybody, welcome to 8:00 o'clock hour on tuesday 21st, so this is big news. we don't know exactly what is up can kim jong un. we've heard reports of his health in the past that have been incorrect, but this time it's extraordinary for the south koreans to say, yeah, our sources says he's in a rural area and he's doing normal activities but then for the united states u.s. sources that say grave danger. brian, kind of a disconnect. brian: kind of a disconnect. what would it mean in terms of succession? everybody knew he'd be next if something happened to his dad. his dad passed away. he killed his half brother, poisons him, gets away with it and kills uncle in a brutal fashion. there's no idea if something was really serious about the guy that i don't think is quite 40 yet even though he's in terrible shape reportedly who smokes a lot an drinks a lot and visibly

looks like 100 pounds overnight but not stunning for him having heart problems, toward people that decide to have a style like that. keep in mind and keep an eye of his sister. the sister is always by his side. evidently she's the brains of the operation and if any decisions ought to be made where security was to be an issue, she would be the one getting the nod. we asked robert o'brian, national security adviser who was a short time ago what the white house knows about it. here is what he said. >> north korea is a close society, not a lot of free press there. so we are monitoring those developments closely. people should know that we have a great intelligence community. we've got a lot of watchman on the towers during the coronavirus crisis making sure that america is safe, whether it's from the virus or adversaries abroad. so we are keeping a close eye on

developments on north korea as other parts of the world. ainsley: we have learned a few things as a result of this. brian, as you mentioned, drinker, smoker, they are not even telling us his age. they're not confirming that he has this going on. we don't know his age. we are sold somewhere in mid-30's. we will see how this all plays out, the white house and our intelligence communities looking into this saying he's in grave danger after surgery and they are monitoring the intelligence to find out more. steve m. steve: so we should know, ainsley, later today. stay tune for that. meanwhile during pandemic dr. oz, mehmet oz joins us. dr. oz, yesterday you gave us a little tease and something that

you want to talk about today. as you look at white house guidelines for reopening. 60% of the population that does not get to come out because they have preexisting conditions an what not until phase 3, but you've got a plan to help the people who are out there who are most at risk to mitigate the problems they have right now? dr. oz: well, we are calling it vulnerable to vital. vulnerable to describe 60% who have comorbid conditions. just to explain the cdc felt so strongly about that population and wanted them to stay separate from the rest of america to start open up is because 90%, 90% of hospitalizations are in that group, so the 10% of people who go to the hospital who aren't in that group are folks who can go out and a less risky maneuver for them so makes the government feel safer which makes perfect sense. the question if you're sitting at home, what are you going to

do to not just allow yourself to reenter the america plan but take better care of yourself so you're not prone to complications to have coronavirus if you were to get it. these range from things like the kind of testified you do at home. you don't have to walk around the dinner table to get your steps in. high intensity exercise will get you there. exploring things in fashion. losing weight is a big opportunity for a lot of america and these benefits are way beyond covid-19 but as a nation, the parts of the nation who have higher incidents and hypertension and obesity and smoking and vaping are in intense risk of complications of covid-19. let's do for ourself what is we can do right now. the most patriotic thing to do and does give you control over the future as the world around you spins out of control. ainsley: we had governor ron desantis from the great state of

florida earlier. he was talking about the success of flattening the curve in that state, watch. >> you have to give credit to the people of florida. you go back 6 weeks. everybody particularly in the media was saying that florida will be worse in new york. if you look what's happened it's not true. people said our hospitals would be overrun, we have increased hospital bed space and icu bed space during the pandemic to flatten the curve. people have done a great job and i think we understand that you can do both, you can continue to fight covid-19 but also get people back to work and have society function again. ainsley: yeah, dr. oz, he said all of those hospitals, the make-shift hospital that is they've set up, they are closing those down because nobody is going to them. they don't need the beds anymore. dr. oz: well, florida thankfully has been spared some to have ravage that is we have experienced up here in new york and new jersey. one large overarching concept

here, 60% of the u.s. public is worried. we need transparency. as states begin to open up, critical that the testing that's talked about is done and done the right way and the results are reported in a way that people will feel comfortable. if you are open up the stores, people are scared to go into them and open up hotels and don't test people going in there, they won't know if we are trending in the right direction. that was one of the wisest things in the cdc document. 2-weeks of data trending in the right direction. if that happens everybody will be happy because we know we are safe and business leaders have been getting involved in this florida. you can open up disney world, and nobody is going to go, what difference does it make? brian: good point. brit hughes said last night that the mitigation efforts of

lockdown and damages to businesses that are closing, the damage to kids who don't have normal lives around can't go to school, outstrip my words, the benefit of shutting the country down. is that a possibility that that is been a colossal error? dr. oz: i don't think so, but also who would want to gambwell that many american lives? we saw what happened in new york when -- when we shut the state down. when governor made the decision and same thing in new jersey. the numbers of cases that had been afflicted is tinny compared to what it is now. we realized pretty quickly that you had a lot of lagging indicators. i don't think that gamble was worth taking. who knows how many americans would have perished. we don't want to do it again and some of the insights to have cdc, open guidelines and if we

are sloppy we will lose american life and the confidence of the american people. we are better than that. i know that we can make this happen. the blueprint is pretty clear. steve: sure, the pandemic testing board suggested that 20 million tests would be needed per day. that's higher than the estimate that you have given on this program in the past, but also at the same time you look at the new release that came out of los angeles county yesterday. usc did a study and they looked at how many people had the antibody in their bodies to suggest they'd already had it and it was close to 4% of la county already has has been exposed to it. and the question do you really need that many test given the fact that so many have been imposed to it? dr. oz: the numbers bented around $750,000 -- tests, a lot

more than that. the reality is that if we could figure out how many people are asymptomatically, we don't know. all of this information helps us understand how many people have antibodies, how many of those truly had symptoms. we don't know that. we were told not to get tested. i had patients, stay at home, we don't have tests anyway. it's possible that, for example, smell which is according to one large european study, 85% americans of -- 85% of people lose sense of smell or taste when they have covid-19. is that true or not? that's really a correct correct

assessment we would be able to aim. 20 million is a lot of tests, you will need tracing and isolation to help people who are infected. ainsley: let's talk about hydroxychloroquine. when you came on our show when it was first on the news. you talked to the doctor in france and then we talked to the michigan lawmaker who says it definitely saved her life. she said why wouldn't you take it if you're better for you to take that and chance it than for you to die, and so then the governor of the state, he gave permission to the hospitals to give this to patients and 20 plus hospitals were doing that. they sent the results to the fda and cdc. how significant is that and when will we see the results? >> i don't know how significant that is because it wasn't done in a randomized fashion. now there are randomized plans being done. by the way, they were given

30 million tablets away. pledged 3 or 4 times that if the trial is successful. i had principal investigator in university of minnesota, anywhere in the country. you have covid-19 primarily for outpatients. the biggest rural healthcare plan in the country testing in both prevention and in the treatment of the disease. here is what i'm learning, if hydroxychloroquine in large train call -- clinical trials it could work two days, primarily help in making sure that folks don't progress in storm that we talked about. multiple trials at multiple levels but is that going to happen just by sending data from hospitals. brian thank you so much. appreciate it. jillian mele after dr. oz, not a

coincidence. jillian: good morning, we begin your headlines with extreme weather. deadly storm system rift through the second week in a row. we are going to hit this. jillian: that corned roaring across a florida interstate south of ocala. 3 people died in mississippi, alabama and georgia. heavy winds toppling over trees, downpours turning streets into rivers. today amazon workers are planning mass call-out over working conditions. more than 300 am done employees from at least 50 facilities are expected to call out and protest. this will mark the first nationwide effort as we have seen walkouts in other states, are demanding paid sick leave and guarantied health care and new song from the viral singing using the power music to hear, watch this.

for nearly 100 years, we've worked to provide you with the financial strength, stability, and online tools you need. and now it's no different. because helping you through this crisis is what we're made for.

>> our goal was to cause the most damage possible to the virus while doing the least possible damage, permanent damage to our businesses. south carolina's business is business. steve: south carolina governor henry mcmaster paving the way for some businesses and beaches to open today. is this the right time? should more states follow south carolina's lead? here with reaction former south carolina congressman and fox

news contributor trey gowdy. good morning to you. >> yes, sir, thank you. steve: good to have you. you know in that sound bite everybody would like to reopen the country as soon as possible but the key is ultimately can you do it in a smart and phased in way, maintain social distancing because the longer you wait the more as the governor said you do permanent damage to the economy. i mean, how do you strike the balance? >> yes, steve, you used exactly the right word. it is exactly to weigh in balance. anybody in the world can choose between good and bad but when you are choosing among competing harms it's difficult. henry mcmaster is a former prosecutor. i am convinced that he's going to follow the evidence and if the medical data, the public health data says, look, we can begin slowly to reopen, practicing social distancing, leading it -- leaving it up to

local officials to open up beaches. he's given them the power but ultimately their decision but we will phase it in, look, it is hard to choose between competing harms and that's why american people run for office and very few people stay in. steve: well, you know, when you think about the fact that here in new york the data that the governor gave yesterday in new york, rather, i'm in new jersey right now it made it very clear we are on the right side of the curve. seems -- the number of hospitalizations an deaths have started to decrease with every day and that's a good thing but you know human nature and when people hear, hey, you know we are going down the hill, that's a good thing and then the personal responsibility of social distancing, the worry is will go right out the window, but i hope that people realize, the social distancing, the physical distancing is what has put us down that hill.

>> yes, steve. i guess people are free to -- to do harmful things to themselves. you and i can have that debate some time but you're not free to do harmful things to other people and that's what i would encourage people to keep in mind. maybe you are willing to risk the virus so that you're also not an 80-year-old with multiple comorbidity factors, so don't put other people at risk. that's the way i view this pandemic. what i'm doing is designed to help other people who may be more at risk and that's what's beautiful about america, we are willing to sacrifice to make sure other people are okay. steve: absolutely. but before you go, i want to pick your brain real quickly about it sounds like dc is on the verge of another half a trillion dollars to help small business people. naturally it hit snags.

the administration wants testing to be done at the state level and to have some flexibility whereas democrats are calling for more national testing as well, so that's kind of the sticking point right now. >> yeah. i mean, this is what really frustrates people about politics. you have people dying, you have a country that's going through this -- this economic, you know, calamity and yet people in dc are waging political battles. look, it's hard to be in congress. i left. so i waive my right to participate in it but surely they can come together -- i mean, they are people hurting. small businesses in south carolina that missed out on the last realm, so they have to get it together. steve: well, something has to help the folks because a lot of people are hurts a you said, trey gowdy, sir, thank you very much for joining us, stay safe.

>> yes, sir, you too, thank you. steve: all right, thank you, sir. meanwhile the center for disease control initially predicted 1.7 million people could die from the coronavirus, but a new model shows it may end up at 60,000 here in the united states. why the big difference? dr. nicole sapphire has an explanation and she's coming up next

hear me. ainsley: i can hear you. we are all glad prices are down and sad that people can't take advantage because we can't go to work or many people can't. social distancing is paying off despite cdc projections of 200,000 to as many as 1.7 million u.s. deaths. a newer model showing 60,000. our next guest explaining why these were so wrong in fox news op-ed, entitled, this is what the models couldn't measure, here to explain medical contributor and author of new book that comes out today make america healthy again, dr. nicole saphier, hey, doctor saphier. nicole: good morning. ainsley: great thing models were wrong. the numbers up to 1.7 million, now they are saying 60. every death is sad and we are hurting for those families, but the projections, how did we get it so wrong or what are we doing right that made that happen?

nicole: the one thing the models didn't account for the incredible resolve of the american people. what did they do, we saw the shock numbers, what did they do, they stayed home, they heeded the warnings and they did everything that the white house and the specialist and everyone was recommending that they do which is why the numbers are lower and continuing to get lower and lower, and that is why i'm proud of our country. people -- we don't necessarily need to be forced into certain situations. we do it because we know that it is right. we have warned that the long-term economic consequences may far out last than the virus itself and people are starting to get restless, okay, we understand the vie us, we have more information. my biggest concern is people keep saying it's all about testing, testing.

the truth there's no magic answer to get things back to good. there's false negatives and false positives with these tests. we don't know if the presence of antibody circulating in the bloodstream actually means that somebody will be immune to it. we don't have that information but we can't sit and wait for that information because as we see, we have people waiting in line trying to get money, trying to get food, this is not what our nation is about and what we have to do what we can safely get people back to work and get our economy back up again. ainsley: yeah, that's true. okay, your book comes out today make america healthy again. what timing? we all need to read the book and become healthy again as a country. what do we need to be doing right now to stay healthy as families? nicole: well, the impetus behind my people is because i believe in the american people and they can push us toward healthier

nation and not in medical debt. we also see an overwhelming response of our hospital systems. they didn't enough beds when covid-19 entered our borders. we can't let the momentum die. we have to continue to live our healthiest live. get government out of our healthcare system and get back to a healthier nation so that if something in the future were to happen to us again not only are we living healthier and better lives, saving money in the process, but we will be ready for whatever else comes our way. ainsley: yeah, we are looking at life differently now. thank you so much, congratulations on the book. she's on our show on "fox & friends" and working on the hospitals an saving lives with

detention who may be at greater risk from covid-19. we shall see where that goes but right we just don't know about the executive order. likely it will face legal challenges. ainsley: thank you, griff. let's hand it over to jillian. she's in the studio with headlines. jillian: new york city mayor bill de blasio appeared shocks that criminals released from prison over covid-19 concern are still committing crimes. watch this. >> i think it's unconscionable that folks were shown mercy and this is what they have done. we will keep buckling down and making sure there's supervision to the maximum extent possible and the nypd will keep doing what they are doing. jillian: more than 1400 city inmates at least 50 have been rearrested for new crimes. congresswoman alexandria

boston with severe threat today and overnight tonight. tomorrow gusty winds in excess of 30, even 40 miles per hour and you can see with all of the wind warnings in effect, that will cause problems, maybe power outages and some damage. across portions of the south another day ahead and tomorrow where we could see the strong severe thunderstorms pushing across portions of texas, louisiana, mississippi, alabama, up towards arkansas, large hail damaging winds an tornadoes will be possible. that threat tomorrow and thursday and crossing to mid-mississippi river valley in towards the southeast. some of the same areas hit hard by the easter sunday storms and this past weekend, heavy rainfall is going to cause flooding as well. just be on alert for that. that's going to be an issue over the next several days and then looking ahead for the rest of today, south florida has set so many records. temperatures in the 90's, today no exception for miami and

then across the northeast we will deal with potential for very strong winds, perhaps severe storms. wintery weather for the great lakes and then we will be watching a new system moving into the plain states tomorrow and again another round of severe storms including tornadoes so just know where you will get your watches and warnings and we will certainly keep you up to date, steve, ainsley, brian, thank you. brian: all right, janice dean, thank you very much. appreciate it. it's going to be very windy in those areas. coming up next senator ted cruz will be here us live talking about the deal that could be coming our day for rescue 3.5, but first i want to check in with ed henry who is ready to go with his show over the next 3 hours. ed, have you put anything together yet? ed: we started to. i feel like it's the last dance. i'm following michael jordan when i'm following you, brian. you're like the -- [laughter] ed: sorry, forgot to mention ainsley. several governors started to reopen portions of the economy

including maryland governor harry hogan, he will be here as our guest and reveal extraordinary lengths he's going to ramp up testing and congress helping small businesses. we have the kevin mccarthy and key economic adviser to the president on that and we will also talk to small businessman who is struggling get loan. also president's decision to shut down all legal immigration. join sandra and me 9:00 to noon you always drive this slow? how did you make someone i love? that must be why you're always so late. i do not speed. and that's saving me cash with drivewise. my son, he did say that you were the safe option. and that's the nicest thing you ever said to me. so get allstate. stop bossing. where good drivers save 40% for avoiding mayhem, like me. this is my son's favorite color, you should try it.

ainsley: this is a fox news alert. we are just getting word that senator chuck schumer is saying that there's a deal. this is great news. it's phase 3.5. let's bring in senator ted cruz to get his reaction. senator, what can you tell us? >> well, good morning. they've been negotiating all evening and this morning. i just got the same -- same notice you did that schumer said he signed off, so we will see the specifics, the broad terms of what was being discussed, additional $310 billion for the payment protection plan in addition to 75 billion directed to hospitals and additional funding for testing. we will see the specifics of what was agreed to but that's at least where the deal was as of

last night. brian: senator, just to clarify. senator schumer says they have an agreement on major elements of the program, but he's dealing with his left flank too. people like aoc want guarantied income for everyone of $2,000 for basically the whole country and this was supposed to be just a replacement for the paycheck protection program. now it's morphed into much more. >> you know, the games the democrats are playing on this are ridiculous. we saw this on the care's act where we had a bipartisan agreement on the care's act and then at the last minute nancy pelosi parachuted in, blew it up and delayed it for 4 days when people desperately needed relief. now the paycheck protection plan which is proven immensely popular, it is the difference between life and death for millions of small businesses across the country, restaurants and bars and movie theaters,

nail salons, hair salons and democrats have allowed this program to expire and they just held it hostage and they are continuing to do it. my message to chuck schumer and nancy pelosi, stop screwing around with these small businesses and people's livelihoods because the partisan games they are playing are having consequences across the country. steve: meanwhile, senator, the top stories the president tweeted around 10:00 o'clock, apparently he will later today sign executive order to suspend immigration to the united states and the reason he's doing it is twofold. one is to stop the flow of the coronavirus into the country but also to safeguard american jobs because you were just talking about how many people are out of work and he said this is needed at this point. do you think this is a wise move? >> i think this is a reasonable

short-term measure, reasonable emergency measure and predictably democrats are attacking it politically. they are attacking it on both fronts. the same opposition when the president on january 31st halted flights into and out of china. that decision by the way saved lives in america. i chair hearing in the senate and customs and border patrol. all three expert witnesses told us in the senate hearing that shutting down air travel into and out of china saved lives. what did joe biden do? he called the president a xenophobe for doing that. same thing when the president halted travel in and out of europe. same thing today. the democrats make a lot of noise about wanting to do more to stop the spread of coronavirus but when the president stands up and does that, all they can do is attack him and let me say finally, not only is there the security threat of coronavirus ant minimize additional transmission but there's the reality of job.

immigration is supposed to support american workers and american jobs. when you have 30 million americans unemployed, democrats are flabbergasted why we wouldn't want to continue bringing new workers even though we have millions of workers here at home that we need to get back to work. ainsley: senator, i know that you're launching the covid-19 challenge, tell us about it. >> i joined up with kirsten gillibrand, democratic senator from new york, we launched the covid-19 challenge where you go and help your community, you take a video. for me i went down to houston police officer union office and i brought breakfast tacos and coffee and i fed them breakfast and just took a minute to thank the houston police officers. they were just starting their beat for that day for what they're doing. kirsten gillibrand did the same thing and we challenged 3 people. in my instance i challenged houston mayor sylvester turner. i challenged rick perry and i challenged great texas

businessman to do the same thing, go help your community, video it, tape it, send it out and challenge 3 more people and actually the three of you i would love to challenge each of you, several of your fox colleagues have joined but we are trying to spread this as wide as possible to get people to really make a difference in a way that's safe but help your community at this time of crisis. ainsley: we will take it on. so nice of you. yeah. >> excellent. brian: all right. thanks so much. i look forward to see you again when we're not zoomed on your head. appreciate it. [laughter] brian: more "fox & friends" straight ahead. announcer: wash your hands...

of broadcasters and this station. democrats and republicans to get that paycheck protection program funded and some other things. just review, congressman michael walsh, jack keane, chris stirewalt and lieutenant colonel allen west. steve, a big announcement for friday? >> that's right. one of the most popular things we have been doing, everybody is isolating in place, is our living room concert series. and this week, apparently gavin

degraw, we loved him for years and he's been on our summer concert series will be joining us this friday. >> that's right. and ted cruz challenge all of us to go out and do something kind and think those first responders. have a great day. we will see you tomorrow. >> sandra: all right president trump announcing plans to suspend all immigration into the u.s. admit that coronavirus pandemic calling it a necessary step to defend american workers in this crisis. good morning everyone, i'm sandra smith. >> ed: very pleasant good morning to you, i met henry. the president says he expects to sign act soon. several governors have repeatedly said it's key to reopening their economy, but the president insists it's all up to the individual states. >> president trump: vice president pence spoke with governors from all 50 states
