write about uv rays? it's friday. raymond arroyo is here and he's going to update on the cuomo brothers' running reality show and the hazards of coronavirus reporting. all that and more in friday follies. first, my thoughts at the end of day 39, american shut down. exactly three weeks ago, it seems like an eternity ago, but in the early stages of the lock down, i gave this warning. we all just have to remember, a crisis has to be dealt with, we have to protect people and save lives. we have our civil liberties and our constitution to also preserve. and after 9/11, we did a heck of a lot of stuff in the moments felt really good. but later on, years later, comes the waste, fraud, and abuse. we are seeing some of these things creep in during this covid crisis as well. in the weeks since, we've seen a lot of covid-19 mission creep. somehow flattening the curve ended up being flattening or

flattening our civil liberties as were. michigan and kentucky crackdown on worshipers, even when they were social distancing. and california, they are funneling money to illegal immigrants. but there is a new threat to our rights on the horizon and it's being pushed by the second wealthiest man in the world. microsoft cofounder bill gates and the gates foundation, they spend hundreds of millions of dollars on research projects around the world. they do good. it's the largest active funder of the world health organization as well, despite the w.h.o.'s recent covid failures and coziness with china. according to gates, the only way to responsibly and mcafee shut down stay-at-home orders is for a pretty vast surveillance system to be put in place, writing in "the washington poste united states can follow

germany's system, and to everyone positive and use a database to make sure someone follows up with all their conta. of course, he insists this will all be voluntary. you choose whether you download the digital tools onto your cell phone. he knows that some people have proposed allowing phones to detect other phones that are near them by using bluetooth and emitting sounds that humans can't hear. and if someone tested positive, their phone will send a message to other phones and their owners can go and get tested. how this information would be stored to, whether it would be stored, and to whom it would be acceptable. it's anyone's guess, we don't know any of this yet. in a perfect world, perhaps this would all work seamlessly with no abuses and no misuse of our medical data. but there are profound questions involved here, including the damage that would be done to america if we can't really open this up until an army, they call it, of tracers and technology

was put in place, it was any of this even feasible? one would think that given all the issues floating out there that journalists would have at least a few questions, some curiosity about how annie gates approved tracing and digital tracking system, how it would all be implanted. not so much curiosity. >> if ramped up the testing will be crucial for reopening our economy, so will something called context tracing. contact tracing is good old fashion detective work part of public health planning. >> absolutely critical to stopping new infections. >> laura: "the ingraham angle" is asking some hard questions here. all sounds fine on the surface. after 9/11, everything seemed fine. page rick act, homeland security department, ramp-up searches, all seemed pretty responsible. we found out some of that wasn't. we sometimes we have to ask and comfortable questions because we know that there will aren't too many in the media who actually

will. a few months ago, we were all terrified by models that told us millions of people could die of the coronavirus in the united states. or at least hundreds of thousands. well, fear is a really powerful tool. is it really true now as some of the medical establishment or arguing that it will be unsafe to work, to travel, go to church, a ball game, unless we give up our personal data? i haven't seen the scientific proof or any of that. that's a big leap. finally, china boldly predicted today that it could have a covid vaccine ready by early 2021. what a neat trick! china creates a global catastrophe and then swoops in for the vaccine rescue. i'm sure it would all be totally free, won't cost us anything. remember, the pro-china elites and the press, they see china as an example to emulate.

never really a threat to our freedom and security. after all, we don't even have vaccine factories! >> we need to start building them or look to countries that might make it for us. and one of those countries might include china. if the president keeps calling at the chinese virus and insulting the chinese, he might have a really hard time getting xi jinping and the government friendly to the united states or he might extract something from, donald trump won't want to pay him. like, you know, an apology, you know, some respect. >> laura: some respect to our chinese overlords? bill gates has some respect for china. maybe even in spades. >> china took the situation in wuhan and by extreme interventions in terms of reducing movement, they were able to crush that epidemic.

now that china is mostly back to work, some of the critical supplies, having china principate in providing those could make a huge difference. >> laura: bill, china lock people in their apartments, essentially. scientists disappeared. people were terrorized and terrified. we don't even know what happened in wuhan. oh, maybe a little extreme. still haven't given us key data about the virus. how it started, who really was patient zero, the way it started, the full researched on therapies, patient records. they've made a huge difference. yeah, they've made a huge difference. we've lost 50,000 americans and trillions in wealth. and those are my thoughts at the end of day 39, america in shutdown. mass surveillance is, you know, carried out the wrong way -- the phrase is a huge mistake.

what we really need are therapies that can give americans the confidence that they have to get their lives back. get back to school, back to work, back to church if you go to church for it i've heard from doctors across the united states and even outside the united states, 48 hours or so, who are having huge success treating covid patients with a variety of treatments including hydroxychloroquine. i even got my hands on the atlantic health system's guide to treating covid-19. what's the first line of treatment? hydroxychloroquine. they added azithromycin as well. that's why i was kind of surprised to see the at fda cautioning using hydroxychloroquine to treat covid-19 outside of a hospital setting or clinical trial. says there's a risk of developing heart arrhythmia. what about the thousands of doctors across the globe? australia bought millions of doses and is giving it out free to people.

india, turkey, talk about that the last few nights. they are prescribing it in outpatient care to treat people with covid, early signs of covid, in some cases prophylaxis with autoimmune issues, of course, with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. our next guest is one of the most qualified autoimmune mds in the country and she says doctors need to be empowered with the best available tools in order to beat back this pandemic. joining me now is dr. christine detrick. great to see you tonight. what do you make of the fda's dismissiveness? this warning today that came out about hydroxychloroquine which should never be prescribed except by a doctor and people always need to be looked after and we have to look at someone's medical history. but what you make of it? >> the issue that i have, they

are raising concerns, obviously. this whole issue with cardiac toxicity. reported down that we heard it in the bunch of different ways. they are giving us what to do. give us guidelines for how to stratify those patients. perhaps there should be ekg machine that covid testing site so we can understand better who might be at risk. but if 95 plus percent of the population has apsley no risk, why are we denying them a very bona fide treatment strategy that could really be effective in staving off the first part of the disease? >> laura: i talked to a turkish doctor yesterday and that she actually sent me a chart that is sent out to all the hospital centers and health care centers in turkey. i don't even get this, i don't get what y'all are saying. obviously there is risk with medication but she was saying that we have been using this

medication from the beginning. a number of countries are using it. india has used it for decades. she was just dumbfounded. they are using it in d.c., washington, d.c., new york. she just didn't understand it. we don't understand what y'all are doing in the united states. it's not a panacea. it's not a cure-all. but it keeps a lot of people out of the hospital and it gets a lot of people better. we've featured so many of them on our show. >> yes, absolutely. the drug has been around a 30-40 years. i've prescribed it myself more times and i have count and never had a concern of this magnitude. the concern can be handled. that's the biggest issue. shutting down for a subset of patients, that's what we are trying to do. we evaluate risk-benefit ratios to create a risk for the entire population is completely nonsensical. >> laura: it's bizarre.

it's like the fda, you get the sense that people are looking for a result instead of looking at the whole patient of america. two weeks ago i spoke with nfl player mark campbell who told me about his own experience with hydroxychloroquine, doctor. watch. >> within a couple of hours i felt better. within 24 hours, i felt pretty good. within 48 hours, i was able to leave the hospital. >> laura: do you feel like that made the difference for you? >> i do. it made all the difference in the world. >> laura: any side effects? >> zero. >> laura: that 48 hours he mentioned is interesting because you said you've seen a similar timeline with your patients? tell me. they go absolutely >> absolutely. we've had at least 50 that had been diagnosed covid positive and we've tested a couple hundred now that had early signs. we do a lot with immune

supported therapies and many of our patients are coming through absolutely unscathed, which is been amazing. we need to start the hydroxychloroquine absolutely on the mark within 48 hours, it's been shocking to me that there has been a couple of pieces where i've had to fight with primary care physicians that have been involved with these patients, they are sitting at home with fevers bouncing around, taking tylenol, and things are going on then on the and they are starting to get very short of breath and i'm the one arguing to try the hydroxychloroquine! >> laura: are you not supposed to do that now? i don't understand this. are you prohibited from doing that now? are these just guidelines? >> the guidelines are changing all the time. that's the problem. >> laura: i thought we were supposed to keep people out of the hospital! we are going to have you on next week because i know you have

other interesting ideas and things that you've done the key people out of the hospital who come in and test covid positive but we wanted to get your perspective of this and i thank you so much. it's great to see you. and the fda's new warning we just talked about about hydroxychloroquine has the media completely enraptured. >> hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine should not be used outside of a hospital setting or a clinical trial due to heightened risk of heart rhythm problems. >> look, hydroxychloroquine can cause heart problems. >> can cause serious heart rhythm problems. cardiologists have been warning about this for some time. >> laura: what are the facts? joining me now is ceo of oscar you have treated several covid patients, some thematic. what is this all about?

>> you've got to wonder. we know that tylenol can cause liver failure but it's available over the counter. today i pass it down my package insert on hydroxychloroquine. it shows for rheumatoid arthritis, using 400-600 milligrams per day until adequate results are achieved and then drop down to approximately 25 milligrams per kilogram per day, which is about 200 milligrams twice per day. a ten day course at the most, typically five days. the fda's recommendations are released it's a frantic. i will make one last comment about what your previous doctors spoke to the instant race of cardiac toxicity is vanishingly low. it's not 5%. it's probably 0.05%. we use this drug in pregnant women, we use it in children, we

use it without monitoring in countries for malaria prophylaxis. you may have taken it yourself. >> laura: three times. >> this toxicity rest is crazy. >> laura: when you read these headlines in the media lemmings repeat things, i don't think they went and read what the fda says on its websites. they don't ask the question, doctor. we aren't talking about chloroquine. we are talking about hydroxychloroquine. it's been established that chloroquine is much more toxic, much more toxicity. what i don't understand is lupus patients, rheumatoid arthritis patients, they are on this as stephen smith has said many times for decades. decades! and yet they can get the prescription in a doctor's office so they don't have to go to a hospital, which we are not supposed to go to the hospital now. if you have covid you have to stay out of the hospital. i am just a layperson. i think none of this to me makes

any sense. >> it really doesn't. the fda's package insert never mentions the ekg or baselines. all the patients close to a dozen i've treated are established patients with ekg so i know the heart history from. i have no problems except for one patient who had persistent nausea, a small price to pay for a boarding avoiding the icu.>> laura: dr. e or two cases -- >> none. >> laura: you have a better memory. that's why you go to med school. this is president trump today around noon when he answered a few questions of reporters talking about this. >> i did speak with the president of honduras just a little while ago. i didn't bring it up. he brought it up. they said, they use the hydroxychloroquine. he said the results are so incredible with

hydroxychloroquine. if it helps, aches great. if it doesn't help, don't do it. >> laura: we have said countries around the world are using it in hospitals, in doctor's', as prophylactic. either they are all stupid or it does something for some people. but the press doesn't want any good news. >> hydroxychloroquine has an important role to play in mild to moderate covid illness. you shouldn't use it in patients who simply test positive who are a some thematic. this is an important part of our kit, but use it in selected patients. it really boggles the legitimate medical imagination. >> laura: practicing physicians but part of me today after seeing the fda "warning." it was... i don't have any words on a friday night to describe it. thank you so much. this team cardiologists in washington, d.c. coming up, georgia is open for

business today. what about how things are like on the ground for business owners. and we'll hear from white house economic advisor larry kudlow on why the administration doesn't think georgia is ready to open. don't go away.

still have a good time. >> we are already exposing ourselves going out to grocery stores, pharmacies but why shouldn't our business be allowed to try and adapt and survive? >> laura: joining me now is the owner of lift up barbershop in atlanta. taurean, what's it like to be back in business? >> it's a true blessing, true blessing. true blessing. the last few months have been tough. it's been very, very b tough. >> laura: what do you say to all the folks oute there who think this is so dangerous, you are putting lives in jeopardy. al sharpton said what you are actuallyha doing is bad. watch. >> i don't know any barber in georgia that has 6 feet long arms. how are you going to have social distancing in a barbershop or in a beauty parlor?me let's be serious.yo you are really telling people to put yourself in danger, for what

reason, i cannot imagine. >> laura: your response to reverend al? >> reverend al, you have a couple of million dollars in the bank. as nonessential owners do not. all we can do is speak from our perspective. the lastt few months, i'm speaking for myself, i had no income for the last two months. i own three barbershops. i also cut hair myself. us being out of work, there's no money coming in at all. the last few months, i have spent over 20 grand in rent, mortgages, stuff like that. i applied for the sbas, i applied for unemployment, i haven't even received the stimulus.en so my question for the people out there, what should we do? should we just let, you know, esit back and wait for the government to bail us out, or take advantage of the opportunity that we have and be as safe as possible and still,

you know, make as much money as we can and, you know, just play it safe. >> laura: taurean, you're oufighting for your survival. your way of life, survival. i imagine if you didn't have a pretty clean and well attired shop, you probably wouldn't have been in business as long as you've been in business. how are you dealing with the customers? are you wearing a mask? how is it working? >> i had a meeting with my shot yesterday and wednesday. we came up with some creative ideas. we've got a whole bunch of disposable ponchos. before you come in, you've got to put on the poncho. you've got to put on gloves comes gloves, sanitizer hands, and you got to spray with lysol. the door is locked, so we are in control of who comes in and who comes out. as far as the ponchos and stuff like that, it's just the creative way of doing it. >> laura: you are wearing masks as well. >>s yeah, for sure.

>> laura: that's a given. well, taurean, we might have a little bit of an audio problem. but a "new york times" reporter had a warning for business owners like you. >> if we go out of hiding, it will all turn on again. and the people who are determined to rush back into the stores in states like georgia are risking seeing what we saw happen before start again. it's a very hard way to learn a lesson. >> laura: he can see into the future. he knows apparently what's going to happen with this virus. taurean, closese it out. > this is what i will say. if you don't want us to work, find a way, may be an extra stimulus package or somen kind f fund for us nonessential workers to save our homes, save our cars from being re- repoed. i have busted my butt building a

franchise from the ground up your people are telling me to sit at home and wait, something nobody has an answer to to save me. but i'd much rather take the opportunity i have with my faith in god and continue to push forward, youus know, and do the best iar can to be as safe as possible. the key is i to be as safe asib possible. no different coming into a barbershop than a person going to a grocery and touching that bag of chips. when you come in a barbershop, i know who sent my chair. i'm going to wipe it down. i never touched my door handle, i'm going to wipe it down. >> laura: i think everybody understands what you are saying. i hope the president is watching. and i hope people who are afraid still are watching. you are adapting. and i bet you are going to have really good results. i think you seem really responsible. i can't wait to hear more. i come down there, you've got to

do something with my mop, okay? >> i got you! >> laura: i making you cut my hair, taurean. >> whatever you need. >> laura: i'm coming down. when i can travel, i'm coming down but we'll check in with you in a couple of weeks. as some businesses do begin to reopen, myeo next guest cautiong may be a transition one, may will be a transmission transition month. with me is larry kudlow.u larry, you heard that barber shop owner. seems like a really cool guy, taurean. you can get back to work safely, he says, and do it our own way. and i know you are a free market, larry kudlow, and you like a good story. >> actually i got to tell you, i love that guy, and i'm also going to confess i had a hair trim yesterday. kind of a special k deal.

friends of ours, you know this person but i'm not going to mention any names, she got her hairdresser to come in and open up her barbershop. the guy gave me a pretty good trim. don't have much to work with but it looks much better because it i wanted to look good on the laura ingraham show. had no temperature coming into the white house, i tested negative last week, i feel fine. i love that guy. i'd like to meet him sometime. >> laura: larry, you are special. you got a haircut. the rest of us are dealing with it. i'm just teasing. look, may is a transition month. got m to get the economy going. people are dying out there. that was a sad opening to that story. i'm bleeding money. i've got my car repossessed. that's the american understanding right now if we don't get this going. i think brian kemp is going to end up being a big success story. i hope so. >> i totally agree.

you meet the guidelines, you've got good scientific based guidelines, you've gotot to have your downward adjustment infection cases within a 14-day period. you've got to observe it and he ran it down pretty well. you have to have the testing, the cleaning come they had washing and all of it. got to have the distancing. if that is true and you meet that criteria, i think you are going to see a lot of states opening in the next few weeks and i think the month of may is going to be a terrific transition month as the economy reawakens. it'll be rolling. phase it at a time. heck, 26 million people, laura, 26 million people in the last five weeks have filed unemployment claims. 16% of the whole workforce. we cannot continue that. if we are fortunate, then, you know what? the numbers will keep coming down and people will be open and we'll get this economy restarted

again. restarted again! >> laura: the white house considering apparently tonight we learned of a liability shield that would protect employers from lawsuits related to coronavirus. businesses say they need this to reopen, otherwise they are going to get slammed with lawyers' lawsuits. critics say it'll excuse bad work conditions, unsafe environments. your response? >> that's just not true! look it, covid-19 guidelines, federal guidelines, state guidelines, that's what these stores and for small businesses, they have to abide by that. if they do, then i think there should be a safeguard around the liabilities related to the r covid-19 virus. there should be a safeguard. look, if you go to restaurants, just take this example. you go to a restaurant that's recently open. the restaurant observes all the guidelines, okay? every single one of them.

unfortunately if the customer comes down with the virus -- unfortunately. how can you prove necessarily that it's the restaurant's fault? because this thing is highly infectious, as you know. i don't think we should open the door to a lot of false claims by trial lawyers and others who are always on the lookout. you'll stop the business from opening, or the business will w close, or they won't have enouge money to keep going because of these lawsuits. so why not have some safeguardsw by the way, also the employees in the business! >> laura: i think it makes -- >> from these kind of phony lawsuits. >> laura: i think there's incredible wisdom in it. im think it has to happen. the economy has to get going. we haveon to get back to work. i do it safely. the free market will innovate and adapt quicker than the federal government could ever imagine. larry, thank you. comingng up, the cuomo brothers have resumed their reality show?

there is no way. all the details, raymond arroyo, friday follies coming up next.

>> live from america's news headquarters, i am ashley strohmeyer. >> laura: two has long now getting some mixed reviews. the fda issued a statement warning some of the potential side effects which read in part, "the fda is aware of serious heart rhythm problems in

patients with covid-19 treated with hydroxychloroquine and the drug has not been shown to be safe and effective for treating or preventing covid-19." the president walking back early common saying that he was being "sarcastic about patients getting in injection of disinfectant." comes after widespread backlash that even because the epa to issue a statement telling americans to never apply the product to yourself or others. do not ingest disinfectant products. i am ashley strohmeyer. now back to "the ingraham angle." >> laura: it's friday and that means it's time for friday follies. joining me for all the main mayhem, it's raymond arroyo. all right, ray. have the cuomo brothers, tell me they haven't given up their sitcom. please. >> actually they have not given up their sitcom. >> laura: gut! >> it's all part of a latest

edition of the house husbands of the hamptons. ♪ >> good to see you, big brother. >> good to be with you, little brother. >> that you are killing me by giving me hope. >> the only way we broke down the virus spread is by doing what we are doing. the cure is not worse than the disease because the disease can kill you. and that's what people have to remember. >> i don't want to give you the freedom point because i don't buy that. you're hurting my freedom. i don't know why the president is saying that. i hope you don't say that, go liberate our own regions or something like that. >> he's essentially here lobbying his brother, the governor of new york to continue the lockdown, orders he refused to abide by, chris cuomo. i'm glad chris has recovered, but he is moralizing and

demanding that the public at here the stay the stay-at-home orders which he did not practice while covid positive. that bicyclist we discussed the other night who called him out for not quarantining, then cuomo allegedly threatened to the guy. we are the only ones questioning the journalistic ethics of inserting yourself into a story line and the conflict of interest here. "the washington post" and "the new york times" both wrote critical pieces of this cuomo double act. "the washington post" writes, the formal brothers put on quite a show, shows that the journalism ethics police shut it down? americans don't trust the media anymore. why do they trust the cuomos? we caught all kinds of hell doing the story. >> laura: people can dish it out but they can't take it, as my mother said. raymond, chris cuomo's wife, god bless her, christina is also now making headlines. she posted a cuomo's protocol

for corunna on her blog, at-home vitamin trips. at the direction of my doctor, i take a bath and add a tiny amount of sodium hypochlorite in the form of clorox. as a type of homeopathic bath. my goodness. why didn't i know about this genius use of clorox? >> a therapy we all should've pursued. the president being hammered from using openly about uv lights and may be some type of digestible. meanwhile, cuomo's wife suggest you bathe in clorox where the clorox website says avoid skin contact at all costs. she also took a peruvian bar, laura, that was a benign form of

on capitol hill, congresspeople have been, like so many americans, wearing masks to wo work. i think they can use some instruction on proper mask usage and etiquette. look at this, the democrats. look at this. i love hoyer with the mask hanging from his ear, laura. maxine waters puts it under her chin. the cdc guidelines clearly state, do not touch the front of the mask. don't then touch your face, eyes, mouth. i want to show you nancy pelosi at the podium in the well of house. >> thank you, gentlemen, for speaking. make sure the money goes to workers paychecks. this is so important. this is a very important piece of legislature. >> touching the podium! she's a petri dish of hydroxychloroquine's problems. i hope she's not spreading it

around. >> laura: i liked it when aoc was gesticulating out there and she didn't wear the mask. when you gesticulating, all excited, she's very passionate about her views. stuff is going everywhere, i imagine. >> they all look like bandits when they came in with the masks pulled up. >> laura: we are all antifa now, raymond. have a good weekend. a banner week for the media. who were the worst offenders? next.

>> l >> laura: it's easy to become pretty numb by media bites these days, so "the ingraham angle" is keeping track of the worst offenders of the week. joining us is sara carter, fox's future better and host of "the sara carter podcast."

along with me as adam colette, president of accuracy in the media. the reaction to the comments the president maded yesterday about potential treatment for covid-19. >> was more important than life soulgate itself is what and suggest of the president's ability to handle this crisis. >> taking a little sip of clorox beached dolomite bleach to ward off the potential of the virus and they will die. >> that sounds like mad king george in his last days. >> laura: sara, the president wasn't as clear as he could have been, but he's hearing a lot of inputs from the medical community about the this is new, that's new, that's an innovati innovation. was he telling americans to drink clorox, really? >> absolutely not.

laura, these are journalist who don't let the facts stand in the way of their lives. they hated the president so much that they will twist his words whenever they can at the expense of the american people. any american and anybody with common sense that watched his briefing knows that he didn't do this. r remember, laura, this is the same kind of attitude they took with the russia hoax when they lied to the american public, they did with retired general michael flynn, so easy for all the lies being spewed by senior obama officials. they continue to do the same thing over and over again. that's why the president did the right thing, he gets there every single day, these briefings directly with the american people and just cuts out the middleman which are the trump hating media. >> laura: i've got to tell you, adam. i'm watching this and did he say clorox and lysol? lysol comes up with some big statement? i guess people could take the

words -- i guess... t you really get the sense that the media are trying to drive this narrative, that trump not only wants to save american lives but he's basically just the terminator here. but not in a good way. >> not only that, seems like they are on the other side. trump is trying to fight the disease and i swear that some of them are rooting for the disease. they rooted against hydroxychloroquine working, they were hoping it wouldn't work. they are rooting against sunlight killing it, rooting against the summer heat wave killing it. the only advisable actions that they offer are to, freak out, and b, warship andrew cuomo. >> laura: any good news or treatments that'll help people, immediately discounted if donald trump immediately advocates for it.. here's a bogus narrative, the media pushing this about who

alex azar put in charge of leading the coronavirus task force. >> a lab or doodle breeder is running the day-to-day response. >> a man name brian henderson who had joined the department after running a dog breeding business. >> he bread australian lab or doodle dell they would refer to him as the dog breeder. >> laura: there's a few problems here. the dog breeding is harris in the pottery as family is not in charge of the task force. he has experience in industry of roles in multiple administrations. but dozens of media outlets ran with this, sarah. >> it's unfortunate they spread disinformation and lies to people. it's also really dangerous.

when you think about this, laura, even though it seems funny on its face because you say to yourself, how could this be, how could these mainstream media outlets, the ones we trusted in the past be so lackadaisical and live this way without anys attempt the record is dangerous on a national lev level. the real liars are china, iran, north korea, issues all over the world that we have to take care of. butwe they are obsessed with president donald trump and destroying anyone around him in his administration. that's the really frightening part. >> laura:fr it's mind-blowing at this point. adam, i want to play this from wolf lecture following tonight's coronavirus breaking. 22 minute briefing. the first time the president has been afraid to answer questions from reporters. the president, shall we say, checking today, didn't want to answer questions that the media

has. >> laura: first the media complains the briefing is too long. didn't carry the briefings often on cnn because they said it wasn't news. now they are complaining on a friday night after the guy had and basically left the white house for weeks and weeks that he's having a shorter briefing? i thought it was a great briefing. itek was to the point. why give them all these stupid bites at the apple, adam? >> this is an exciting day for wolf blitzer. with the airports empty, half of his viewership is gone. but by you showing his call clip, he'll be seen by people tonight. this is outrageous. these folks are peddling fan fiction, stories they know not to be true that radical leftists wants to read and wants to watch. they will make up anything, they will smear anything, they will mix up any truth if they know it's a story people want to read. >> laura: it's now on to the business of america.

it can't all be all covid all the i time. we have to move on to the other challenges our country is facing, how to reopen innovations. i think these briefings should be to the point, answer a few questions when there's a real news, and move on, go back to working on reopening the country safely. guys, great to see both of you on a friday night. thank you for being with us. coming up, how is nancy pelosi trying toin be a little more lie uncle joe? the last bite explains. ♪ dad, i'm scared. ♪ it's only human to care for those we love. and also help light their way. it's why last year chevron invested over $10 billion
