fun this football season. >> dana: i've got to run. great to see you, have a good time on "the greg gutfeld show." i'm dana perino, i'll see you with story time and on "the five." bill hemmer is next. >> bill: thank you, dana. welcome to friday or is it tuesday? i'm bill hemmer. here is where we stand at this hour. there are more protests against the stay-at-home orders flaring up across the country. several states begin to reopen during the pandemic. this is a live look at a demonstration underway in madison, wisconsin. from georgia meanwhile the governor has given a green light for jim's and hair salons to reopen. they continue to rise in his state. as of today, more than 50,000 americans have died from it. in a moment, i'll speak with the governor of connecticut who says his state likely will not be ready to reopen until at least a

month of june. matt finn reports from madison, wisconsin, on that protest on going. what's happening? >> it's a very large and energized rally here outside, hundreds of people on foot and then cars and vehicles circling. similar to many demonstrations we've seen across the country in recent days, protesters we talk to here in wisconsin say they understand why the stay-at-home order is in place here, but they feel the governor is destroying small business with the one-size-fits-all approach. wisconsin protesters tell us they are especially upset that large chain stores are open but money locally owned shops are deemed not essential. in wisconsin protesters also tell us they say they are smart enough to safely worship. >> there's a lot of things we can't do that should be our choice to do. >> because we are common sense individuals, we can come

together and say what is the safest way for us to get back together and exercise our freedom of religion and meet together? i'm a conservative, but i stand on my own principles. i stand on the bill of rights, i stand on the truth of the word of god, the rights given to me by god. >> these protests across the country are raising health concerns because protesters are not socially distanced or wearing masks, as indicated today. a short while ago, this crowd in wisconsin cheered people wearing masks saying it's their choice to do so. here, police denied a protest permit citing health and safety concerns. the governor was asked about the rally and didn't necessarily tell people to stay home but he asked protesters to keep a healthy distance and there are plenty of people in this crowd who are shoulder to shoulder. >> bill: 6 feet apart, steady as she goes. thank you, matt finn in madison, wisconsin.

governor, good afternoon to you. you are on what is described as a limited plan. what does that mean, governor? >> about two-thirds of our economy is open i'm obviously in public health essential services, manufacturing, outdoor construction, so we don't have as much to reopen as many of our neighboring states. always kept their state parks and beaches open as well. so when i say limited, i guess we are going to be thinking thoughtfully about some of the smaller retail outlets, how we can get them open. right now, it's just for drop-off. >> bill: it really the month of june? before you would even consider that? >> no, we will be reopening some things very soon, but we said when it comes to schools and other big decisions, we are going to make that determination right before may 20th and we will see what happens on schools, but i think you'll see small businesses make some other progress along the way.

>> bill: may 20th. another month. 10% of your workforce is out of a job. that's a heavy burden, governor. >> my hunch is it is even more than that. bars, restaurants, hospitality. a lot of those service sector was closed in, frankly the white house task force has recommended that those places where you can't maintain social distance should probably stay close longer. >> bill: i saw you've been working in conjunction with new york and new jersey which would set up a regional cooperation idea. is that still your plan today, governor? >> when it comes to testing, when it comes to comparing notes, absolutely. probably makes sense that if i'm going to open up my restaurants and andrew cuomo decides not to open his, then you have a lot of traffic going back and forth between states. so i think there will be some collaboration, absolutely. >> bill: we will follow that.

meantime in georgia, what's happening down there, here's what he said last night on twitter. with favorable data and approval from state health officials, we are taking another measured step forward by opening shuttered business for limited operations under prioritizing the safety of their employees and customers." are you okay with the decision being made in the peach state? >> i don't think it's a smart decision in georgia and i wouldn't want to be the state neighboring georgia. there is no way to socially distanced in a massage parlor and a tattoo parlor, so i'd be very cautious before opening them up too quickly. he were looking at what's going on around the world right now, we have the second surgeon we want to make sure that does not happen in connecticut and i hope it doesn't happen in georgia. >> bill: with respect to that answer, 50 different states in 50 different governors making individual decisions as we go. that sort of how the country and set up. >> that's true.

that's how the country is set up, but we are getting guidance from the white house covid task force. they've been pretty clear about when you should open tier one and tier two, 14 and 28 days of declining hospitalizations. their guidance has been helpful, but you're right, then they leave it up to the governors which i think is appropriate. >> bill: so may 20th is the next time you revisit your current idea. do i have that straight? >> in a big sense, that's right. we'll make some small steps along the way but may 20th, we will have the testing done, had a lot more protective gear starting with masks and that will allow us to begin opening things up in a thoughtful way. >> bill: we will check in with you. thank you, governor lamont from connecticut. thank you for your time today. want to bring in the "fox news sunday" anger chris wallace. how are you, my friend? we were talking about this two weeks ago. every governor, they've got big decisions to make. and this another big one. >> big decisions to make, but

there are good decisions and bad decisions, and you've got the president saying he thinks that governor kemp of georgia and the president is a huge backer of governor kemp, he might not be governor if it weren't for the support of donald trump, and he thinks this is a bad decision, he has really come down pretty hard on governor kemp for exactly the reasons that governor lamont did, that he thinks they're opening too soon and opening some businesses that shouldn't be open and also georgia is not following the president's own task force guidelines which is that there has to be a study that munition and the number of cases for two weeks. that is not true in georgia, so he's going against the president's guidelines and the president says i'm going to let you do it, but i don't like it. >> bill: some of the reports out of georgia are interesting, a lot of people choosing to stay home even with the ability to go out today at even more so on monday. many have not elected to take advantage of that. meanwhile, congress passed that

half trillion dollar bill signed into law a few hours ago. it's extraordinary. really, really big money here. what is the appetite to do more in washington? >> there's not a lot of appetite to do it when you consider everything that they have spent, congress and the president has signed, plus the amount of debt racked up, we are talking five, $6 trillion in added debt. but there is a need out there. i think you see more of an interest in responding from the democrats who really think that there needs to be some money to help states that are being really hard hit by crash and revenue and want to give the money to first responders and emts and people like that who desperately needed in this crisis. republicans, not so sure and in fact the son of majority leader mitch mcconnell saying we are not going to do anything until they come back which will be at least a week after next. >> bill: they are saying may 4th on that.

and you've been following the back and forth between what was said at the briefing last night and set at the oval office today, what's your take on all of that? >> i did watch the briefing yesterday, and it seemed to me that the president was not advocating it, but he was certainly asking a couple of scientists and doctors what about the possibility of using injecting people with disinfectant? something like alcohol or clorox or lysol to try to kill the virus because according to the scientist at the department of homeland security, when you wipe that on a hard surface like a doorknob, it kills the virus. and in fact, when one reporter said challenged him and said people are really listening to these briefings, mr. president. do you want to be just speculating or do you want to give them facts? the president said i'm the president, and your fake news.

president says today, well, he was just being sarcastic. but this raises the danger because a lot of people think that when the president says something, they take it very seriously. in the state of maryland, their emergency hotline says they have gotten since that briefing yesterday more than 100 calls of people saying is it safe for me to drink a disinfectant. may sound crazy, but obviously people take the president's word seriously. so the answer is no, it's not safe. a lot of the manufacturers say it isn't. >> bill: don't drink the lysol. quickly here on the fox poll and, going to squeeze this in right now. joe biden, michigan is up eight points. in pennsylvania up eight points. in florida up three points. you look at the calendar, it is almost may. you've got a national election in about six months. you've got a president who can't leave the white house, you've got a challenger who can't leave his own house.

as of today, how is this going to go? >> i think that what we are talking about now and how it plays out over the next few months is probably going to be the key but to a large degree, this may not be a vote so much about trauma versus biden, but more a referendum on how the president handles the crisis. we get in september and october and people understand the president can't wave a magic wand in terms of the economy but of people sense that the president has handled it about as well as you can both public health and handling the economy, then my guess is he's going to win and conversely if they think that he has not handled either one well for both not well, then i think he is going to lose and to a certain degree despite the efforts of the white house to try to make this a choice between biden and trump, i'm not sure that it really will be. i think it could be a referendum

on donald trump and how he has done. when becky said that a few weeks ago and you're staying by it. the nfl figured it out. we'll see if the election can figure it out. steve minasian is your guest over the weekend. also on his state's response or check out your local listings this sunday for fox news sunday. nice to see you, sir. president trump meanwhile signing a massive build to help small business with the white house chief economic advisor saying about the timing of an economic turnaround for america. i'll talk with the chief medical officer of the company behind the only fda approved at home testing kit where you might be able to get your hands on one. he will tell us that next. ws. but did you know that your va benefit lets you easily refinance to a lower rate? one call to newday can save you $2000 a year. with newday's va streamline refi there's no income verification, no home appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. it's the quickest and easiest refi they've ever offered.

the directions on the box, swab both of your nostrils, put it back into the box, drop it off at your local fedex and who they overnight it directly to one of our labs to run on our machine. >> bill: than after it runs on your machine, when to make it an answer if i'm positive or negative? >> as soon as we finish the machine, we report the result of the health department, to the ordering doctor as well as directly to you through our pixel patient porter on our web site. >> bill: this could be a breakthrough, a significant one, right? >> we are trying to increase access to testing for the people that need it. we are starting with symptomatic health care workers and first responders because we need to get them back into action if they are ready to go forth with them on the sidelines if they have the virus so that they don't infect other coworkers or their patients. >> bill: the price is 100 bucks, do i have that right? >> $119 but we are working with people to try to eliminate any

out-of-pocket cost, working with their insurers and our patient assistant program so it's accessible to people who need it. >> bill: i was talking with a physician here in new york and told me you can't get. how do you make it accessible? how do you ramp up, how do you do it quickly? >> great question. is available now on our web site. you fill out a simple survey and right now as i mentioned, we are focused on symptomatic health care workers and first responders. we have about 100,000 kits available now, and we are working furiously to try to make more and have at least many available per week going forward. pixel dot labcorp.com. >> bill: you're going to be flooded, you know that, right? >> we are just trying to do our part to make sure we make testing as accessible as we can to people who really need it so we can get america back to work. >> bill: how long before you can make another batch and how large but that be?

>> we are hoping to make about 100,000 per week and you ramp up from there as possible. >> bill: demand is going to be huge. good luck, thanks for coming in today and explaining that. thank you, sir. about a week ago at this hour, the jacksonville mayor in florida was under a lot of heat for opening the beach. in moments, we will check back in with that mayor to see how things over the past seven days worked out. also, amazon facing new app dell not accusations of price gouging during a pandemic. more on that story in a moment as we continue. to everyone navigating these uncertain times... whether you're caring for your family at home or those at work, principal is by your side. we're working hard to answer your questions. like helping you understand what the recently passed

[ barking ] >> bill: jacksonville, florida, opened up its beaches yesterday, the mayor was with us to explain his decision a week ago. he is back today and thank you for coming back in good afternoon to you.

you know what everybody was saying and what they said over the weekend, have you had any problems? we met we haven't. in fact, after the initial opening, the crowds really thinned out. people are following the restrictions from six to 11 in the morning, no sunbathing, no chairs, no coolers, keep walking and keep your distance. in fact, i'm on the task force to reopen the state and that task force is discussing potentially using their way jacksonville's restrictions for its beaches were a model around the state. >> bill: that's interesting. back to last week, you are being criticized because it looked like in some of the images that people were not 6 feet apart. what did you say to them? >> that we had -- our beaches each have a mayor. there are three mayors at the beaches and they were out there, police were out there, fire and rescue are out there. all the feedback that i got was

people were practicing social distancing, they weren't getting into large groups. so we just had to weather the criticism, and i expect that will continue as cities and counties and states reopen in their own way based on the data they have and the judgment they make. there will be critics and if you're not willing to accept that, you're not going to make progress. on>> bill: and a loosening the policies? >> it is at 4.8% now, we are following the white house and president trump's phases to reopen to tailor to our county. president trump and the federal government just got us $160 million in care's funds, putting $40 million of that to provide rent, utility, and mortgage relief. 35 million to expand testing, so we are on the road to recovery. >> bill: steady as she goes. thank you for coming back. people in california filing a

class action lawsuit against amazon accusing the company of price gouging during the pandemic. we reached out to amazon for response but no response yet. what is the story here? gouging along the way. >> exactly. it's interesting because early on, when this pandemic started to make headlines and people started buying more and more things, amazon made it very clear, it's their policy for themselves and their policy for their third party sellers that they won't allow price gouging. but after the state of emergency went into effect in late march in california, many residents in california noted things that they had normally bought through the site were seeing price increases of 50 to 500%. so clearly, not the case and this was across the board. purchasing amazon products as well as purchasing products through third-party sellers which amazon sets the rules for them and they are free to set

the pricing that they want to do and they have to keep it within a certain constraint, but we saw this a month ago with certain products. you wanted to try and buy a face mask, if you wanted to buy hand sanitizer and things like that, they were selling for upwards of $100 for just a little 8-ounce bottle of hand sanitizer. so definitely, still some shenanigans going on. let's hope this was early on in the crisis and that amazon will get this figured out. >> bill: we don't need that. quickly, there's an allegation that amazon is using third-party data to go ahead and make products that compete against the products they already sell. what's happening? >> when you think about this, they are in the best position. not only are they a retailer, but there also a manufacturer that makes generic products. so if you are selling batteries, if you are selling seat cushions or t-shirts or something that can be easily manufactured, amazon is going to know how much you're paying to market that

product, they'll know how many of them you sell and at what price point and are selling at as well as the shipping cost of those items. so they're going to be able to go and make the exact same product and hone in on the lot of data. amazon says they don't do that. they have restrictions in place come up with "the wall street journal" reported today there's a lot of information that amazon has access to and who wouldn't take advantage of that? it would be like if target suddenly had the ability to say you know, these glass vases that we sell from martha stewart home, we sell them for ten, we could make them for a dollar and sell them for four bucks and everybody's happy. it is an odd position for them to begin and also congratulations on joe burrow getting the chosen. when i thank you very much. thank you, brett. nice to see you. have a good weekend. meanwhile, the pandemic taking a big hit on the health of our

u.s. economy. when will america bounce back? two leading economic experts steve moore on deck to take that on and the voice of the new york mets using his talent to help people relax during the pandemic. give this a listen. >> the shortstop. ♪ r [squawks] only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ there will be parades and sporting events and concerts. to help our communities when they come back together, go to 2020census.gov and respond today to make america's tomorrow brighter.

>> bill: breaking news no, sources telling us that navy leaders are demanding the reinstatement of an aircraft carrier captain who was fired after he sounded the alarm about a covid-19 outbreak on his ship. this coming up to the navy launched an investigation into his firing. hundreds of sailors on board the uss theodore roosevelt have now tested positive for covid-19. one of those sailors has since died. in the meantime, the governor of georgia allowing some businesses to reopen today.

jonathan serrie reporting live in sandy springs, georgia, to see the ebb and the flow and whether or not folks are coming outside. what did you find out back >> we are finding a mixed bag as far as the businesses, about half of them reopening in the strip mall here, some of them never had to close because they were considered essential businesses, but the big question is the customers. you look at the parking lot behind me, it is less than a quarter full. we went to some other areas and we want to show you this video now because it is a sign of the new normal. we saw a spa where employees were taking customers temperatures before allowing them inside. take a listen. >> i am very proud of governor kemp for being the first to open the state, and i think that even though right now, people are not necessarily supporting him, i think it is just a matter of time before he proves that we needed to open the state back up.

>> coming back to our live shot of the strip mall in sandy springs, you can see this as a fitness remains close, the parent company wanted to play it safe and investigate more safety protocols. we are seeing a number of large gyms doing the same thing including local ymca buildings. but the spas here are opening up and allowing customers in but again, following these enhanced safety protocols that the governor is requiring. and finally on monday, movie theaters and restaurant dining rooms will be allowed to reopen as long as they follow enhanced cleaning and customer distancing protocols. >> bill: as they say, steady as she goes. nice to see you. >> i think the first quarter will be a slight negative. i think the second quarter will be a very deep virus caused contraction. very deep contraction. and the other hand, i think the

recorder can show positive growth and the third quarter even more positive growth. >> bill: there you have the added valuation larry kudlow talking earlier today about the effects on the economy. former senior economic advisor to president trump campaign gentlemen, great to see you both and welcome back to the both of you. >> it depends a lot on what we see the states reopen. when i told the president last week that our economic recovery task force meeting as if we can get the economy open in most states by may 1st, then i agree with larry kudlow. i think the summer is going to be really tough under any scenario, but by the end of the summer and early fall, i think we can start to see a nice recovery, but if we don't start opening -- i'm in virginia where he is not going to open up into the middle of june. that's going to do substantial damage to that state and you are

seeing states like new york and california and my home state of illinois being a laggard. so it depends on when we get this thing started, but i do think the fall can be pretty good. >> bill: from your perspective, how do you see it? >> i kind of thing that argument is a little confused. the argument of let's just reopen the doors and tell everybody to go back out. the economy started into free fall before those orders went in place because people are afraid. the virus is the boss. the president is not the boss, the governor of georgia is not the boss, you can say whatever you want. you cannot get control of the spread of the virus, people will not go back out and they will not be an economic recovery. we've got multiple countries now where they've gotten out of lockdown and we can follow that path, places like korea, germany, taiwan, iceland, new zealand. they did enough tests that the only people that have to go out of commission for the people who

have the virus. we've got to move in that direction and if we do that, we can have some recovery. in but we should not overstate whawhat the recovery is going te if we have a minus 254 minus 30% number for the second quarter, going up five when you went down 25 in the quarters that follow will not be enough. >> bill: i think it's interesting about the answer you gave there and steve you can jump in on this. just watch to see what happens in places like sandy springs, georgia, where jonathan serrie was just reporting. folks start to come out over the weekend or monday for the restaurants or if they do the opposite, maybe austin is more right than you are, steve. >> i actually agree with a lot of what austin just said. is true that when you start opening and economy, a lot of americans think they can just go out and everything is going to be back to normal and it's not going to be. a lot of businesses are permanently shattered.

you see them in downtown manhattan. it's a sad thing. so it's going to be a slow recovery and also, i agree with austin that you have to do it in the safest way because the worst outcome would be to have a second outbreak of the virus. about 40% of the counties in the united states have virtually no coronavirus cases, start in the places where you don't have a problem. new york city is going to have to be the last place to open because it's the epicenter of the crisis. >> bill: a few more things here, said the deficit could reach 3.7 trillion this year. eye-popping numbers. you got small business money to the tune of 300 billion that was done today. i am seeing reports that that batch of money is already spoken for. >> the thing is when you get into an environment like this where we are pouring money out the door really just a burn to

stay warm until we get the heat back on, i think all eyes are going to start to be on are the correct people getting the money? and the fact that we blew through the first round of the money, $350 billion for small business we blew through in nine days, now we are going to have hundreds of billions of dollars more that we are going to blow through in a series of days. i think that this issue of oversight and is it going to the hardest hit businesses or are we going to observe our neighborhood restaurants and gyms and dry cleaners all going to go out of business when the favored clients at the bank are the ones who got the money. >> bill: now, they are saying all of this is transparent. we will see over time if that's the case. they are saying you can go to the web site and see it yourself. i think that's how a lot of these institutions of higher learning were caught out on th this. last point, gentlemen. 4 million plus signed up for unemployment this week. we are at 26 million.

all the job gains we've made going back to 2009 have now been erased. >> i think we've made a lot of mistakes. i've never been a big fan of this global shutdown of our economy, i think we've done serious and severe damage not just to our economy, but to society and you are seeing sixfold increases in suicide rates, suicide lines are seeing increases in case of depression, child abuse, alcoholism, and we've done real damage here, but i will say this, i do think if we get stuff open now and we do the payroll tax cut, i do think we can get a good economy by the end of the year, and we are going to see some return to normalcy. >> bill: thank you for your time. we are out of it for now. thank you, gentlemen. in a moment, what's it like to lead the fight against something like covid-19? of a talk with the former head of the cdc, plus, round one of

the nfl's first ever virtual draft. that is joe joe, how did it go m his basement in new york? i'm jo ann jenkins with aarp. the coronavirus continues to affect us all, and we are here, actively supporting you and your community. every day, we're providing trusted information from top health experts...sharing tools to help protect families from fraud...

so abbott is getting new tests into their hands, delivering the critical results they need. and until this fight is over, we...will...never...quit. because they never quit.

>> the virus is dying at an much

higher pace just from exposure to higher temperatures and humidity. >> bill: talking about new results suggesting the sunlight and he can slow down the virus. a former acting director of the cdc with me now and thank you for your time today and good afternoon to you. >> nice to be here, bill. >> bill: where do you come down on this argument about heat and sunlight and uv rays? >> i think that when you get an interesting idea, it's really important to do the science to figure out whether or not it's going to change the way things work. there are many viruses that do very poorly during the summer, and it will be great if coronavirus follows that trend, but you can't count on it. you have to follow, track, and see what happens. i would like to hear my science coming from scientists and understand what are they doing to take that theory and study it before things are put forward that people might do that could cause them harm.

>> bill: the vice president said memorial day might be the weekend where this is all behind us. based on what you observe, is that possible? >> tony fauci made a statement almost two months ago that we don't define the timeline, the virus does. so it'll be important to continue to track and see. in many places, we are seeing downward trends and it gives me a lot of hope that the measures people are doing, the sacrifices people are doing to stay home, to social distance are actually saving lives. as we slowly open the economy, you have to pay even closer attention to make sure that the increase in cases that will come as people have more contact with each other that it doesn't overwhelm the health care system, we are able to handle it and track it and contain it in a safe way. >> bill: is a look at this from a view from 35,000 feet,

let's say. what do you think is the critical question that americans should either be asking for trying to get an answer for at the moment? >> i think there are several critical questions. one is how much disease has taken place in communities that we haven't even seen? the good news is most people who get this infection are going to do fine with it. it's going to be mild or they may have no symptoms. what we are trying to do is save the lives of people who are at increased risk, and one of the things that will be very valuable when there's a blood test to be able to use and say to someone you've had this infection, you are protected from it if the data shows that the case, but to be able to see how much has come through communities and what we could expect as we open the economy and people have more, that's important. >> bill: that the antibody test. >> the challenge is there are number of antibody tests out there that are being studied. you have to make sure that what

tell my wife julie, i will say you got to come read this, you've got to see what they're saying. it's really overwhelming. it kind of really feels the soul. >> bill: that's awesome. so you've recorded 650. you've sent out 563. do you know how many requests you're going to get after doing this interview? >> i arty have about a hundred 50 in queue, just from the past week alone. i'm a little scared to find out, but i'm up to the task, let's face it, i'm not going anywhere, i'm going to stay home and stay safe until this is over. >> bill: how did you come up with the idea, tell me about that? >> in december 2018 i wrapped up my first season with the mets, i figured i wanted to give the fans an opportunity to mail her eyes themselves with my voice, and i wanted to get to know them a little bit better as well, i didn't just want to be a p.a. announcer, i wanted to be more hands-on. i put a blast out on twitter, it was around christmas, i said the first ten to respond, i'll record the way i would in the ballpark whoever you want, your

name, your jersey number, your position in walk-up song, and there were about 90 submissions, after christmas past, i felt bad, i ended up recording the other 80, and kind of held onto that idea until the pandemic struck. >> bill: when you started hearing from some of the medical workers and first responders, how did that hate you? >> bill: it's made me reprioritize hollow i was doing this. i put it out there, whoever wants one gets one, and then when i had that first young man who works at flushing medical center in queens reach out to me and tell me that i completely turned his day around, that it was truly frightening to be in the middle of this. this was in march when it was still building, and we didn't quite grasp the enormity of it. that's when i realized, that's we need to put the focus on. the first responders, the police, the firefighters, the

emt's, and i threw teachers in there as well. the teachers deserve some credit for everything. >> bill: love that. it colin, i think the audience needs to understand the new york mets play just in the neighborhood. you are only a few miles from what many consider to be the epicenter of the pandemic, at elmer's hospital. you could drive there now in minutes. >> well, i'm actually fortunate. my wife and i moved from queens last july, we now live out east on long island. but my office, so to speak, is right there. >> bill: the stadium is right there. >> yeah, it's pretty scary, i have a lot of friends that are still in that area, i just keep telling them to please be careful. >> bill: listen, were going to give you a lot more homework after this assignment here today. are you up for it? >> i'm up for the task, put me in, coach. >> bill: : cosell, thank you for sharing your story. good luck, have a great weekend. best your wife as well.
