2:14 am
stay at home order when it objectioexpires on thursday ande volunteer state is ready to reopen and get back to work. rob: joining us now to break down what that will look like is congressman mark green. tell us what the states going to do. good morning. and do you think it's time to do this or are we too early? >> yeah, i think it is time for tennessee to go ahead and open up and i appreciate the president's guidance to say basically it's the local governments and states that should make that decision. if you look at tennessee, we've had tragically 181 people lose their lives and the penetration of the virus it isn't there, in my home county, only two people have died of the virus so it's -- i think from a penetration standpoint and the fact that we have plenty of p pe, one of our things in tennessee, testing, we led the nation per capita in testing so we have a good assessment of what's happening on the ground.
2:15 am
it's definitely time to open up and as the governor said, protect people's livelihood while we protect their lives. jillian: do you worry about folks coming from other states, from border states, because you guys might potentially have things that are open whereas other states may not and that perhaps penetrates covid-19 back into your communities? >> i think tennessee is always worried about that. nashville is one of the most popular places in the country. it's something that we think about but obviously with the guidance that the governor has given out, the guidance that the president has given out, the businesses will adhere to those. we'll be okay, no matter who walks in. you think about how they're going to do restaurants, it's going to be 50% capacity, six feet apart for the tables, only six people at a table, a lot of great common sense restrictions that will be in place when the restaurants open on wednesday. so -- rob: let's take a look at some of the recommendations from the
2:16 am
governor on how to reopen these businesses, that's the big question, what do you do. he's saying one way aisles for social distances so you're not running into people at the store. prohibiting reusable bags, so only new plastic bags, using plastic barriers at the checkout, designating operating hours for the elderly, healthcare workers, as well as hours for cleaning and designated entrances and exits and talk a little about -- obviously, tennessee is a big state, there's big cities and small towns. not every county is going with the guidance. a number of counties will stick to social distancing and not open up, right? >> we're all sticking to social distancing, even though we open up. so the social distancing never goes away. the larger counties decided to go a little slower. i know i booked a mother's day restaurant in nashville for the 10. so at least in nashville they'll be opened by mother's day. but the larger cities are taking a little longer and they do have a little bit higher prevelance
2:17 am
of the virus so that seems to make sense. jillian: before we let you go, real quick, i know you're a physician. i'm curious your thought on how important it is to get a lot of the other medical workers back working who haven't been during this time, i'm talking about doctors and nurses who perform things like elective surgeries, how important that is to your community members. >> it's really critical. because i have constituents who have reached out to me that have had their -- one woman had her breast biopsy delayed three times. imagine -- i'm a cancer survivor myself. i can't imagine what it's like to have that in the back of your head, knowing that it's there. so it's absolutely time to get -- where there's ppe, to get non-emergent surgical going. rob: what is deemed essential sometimes is questionable, absolutely. sir, thank you so much. we really appreciate it. >> you guys have a great day. jillian: you too. rob: growing concern about possible meat shortage as
2:18 am
coronavirus forces more and more meat processing plants to close down. jillian: our next guest says if action isn't taken to shore up the supply chain, the problem could make its way to the produce aisle. it was a life changing moment for me.

2:29 am
one firm applied for $76 million using 117 separate loans. and in a statement, the company said, quote, we plan to keep all funds received under the ppp, which were provided as a result of the application process and other specific requirements established for our industry by congress. last week the sba said that big public companies with substantial market value access to capital markets won't be eligible. a lot of large companies that we should say have given back the money after the backlash, let's put them up and thank you for giving the cash back, shake shack, pot belly, to name a few. how the money is doled out and to who, those small businesses, that's going to be obviously the big question coming up in the near future. jillian: absolutely. we know there's a toy factory now making face shields for coronavirus, right? >> that's right. the toy maker, hasbro, leaving
2:30 am
behind monopoly and risk and candy land for ppe equipment. the company's massachusetts factory is making about 50,000 face shields per week for hospitals there and also in rhode island. the company's president said that the motivation, it was all about the kids. >> we're doing this because it's part of our purpose as a company to make the world a better place for children and their families and we're doing this because it's the right thing to do. >> that was the company's ceo, by the way. more than 2800 people have died from the coronavirus in massachusetts since the pandemic began but obviously another example, guys, of an american company that's stepping in to really help out and get equipment to our healthcare heros. that's what i call them these days. jillian: that is right. thank you very much. rob: today, new jersey's governor expected to outline his road map to reopen that hot spot

2:32 am
days of very high temperatures. phoenix this time of year is around 88 degrees. that's their seasonal average. we're going to be talking about temperatures in the 105-degree range for the next several days. also want to make mention that we have severe weather for tuesday, for tomorrow, in some of those same areas that we have seen, hail and damaging winds and many tornadoes this month. so just look out if you live across parts of texas, up towards oklahoma and arkansas, louisiana, and stretching all the way up towards the great lakes this time. so we're going to see another round of severe storms tomorrow. we'll certainly keep you up-to-date on that. now, here in the northeast it's cold enough for snow. well, for new england. but we are seeing chilly rain over parts of the northeast, new york up towards boston and portland and as this storms winds up and exits we're going to see the potential for several inches of snow across portions of maine. so a lot of stories to cover,
2:33 am
the severe weather, the snow and the cold weather across the northeast and then the hot temperatures as well for parts of the southwest. rob, jillian, nice to see you. happy monday. jillian: you too. we've had a lot of april showers in the northeast. >> yes, we have. jillian: like a lot. rob: i'm ready for warmth. janice, thank you so much. >> see what i can do. jillian: bye. a california judge orders i.c.e. to release hundreds of immigrant detainees because of covid-19, despite no cases of the virus in the actual facility. rob: so where is the line between prevention and overstepping existing law. joining us with reaction is retired i.c.e. director and fox news contributor, tom homan. thank you for coming back to the shoasm do you think on the judge's part is this purely political? >> absolutely it's political. as you said, this facility in california, first of all, it's one of the best facilities i.c.e. has, one of the finest facilities in the world, with the highest level of medical care, highest detention
2:34 am
standards in the industry. there are zero cases of covid. they've shut down visitation. they've hired a professional facility to sanitize the facility every day. zero cases in the facility and the judge wants to release them in the state of california where there's 41,000 cases in the community. these people are safer in our facility than releasing them. it's not about the health and safety about detainees. it's another attack on i.c.e., i.c.e. detention, those who are against the president's immigration agenda. it's obvious. jillian: you're taking a look at the numbers on your screen right there, nearly 2,000 facility capacity there and they have about 1300 currently detained with zero cases of covid as you mentioned. now, this is a quote from the judge, and this reads, they shall not accept any new detainees and shall reduce the detainee population by at least 100 detainees by april 27th,
2:35 am
2020, by another 150 detainees by april 30th, 2020. sir, what do you say to the judge? >> well, further in the order the judge said you have to continue dropping the detention until you can guarantee a six foot social distancing from each other, from each detainee and from the guards, six foot social distancing from the detainee. they're going to go from 1900 beds to less than 500 beds which means 75% of that population will be released. now, the judge says in the order, you can deport them but i.c.e. can't depoarlt deport t. we don't have final orders yet. they can transfer to another facility. but that facility must also maintain six foot distance. there's no facility -- whether state, federal, detention facility in the country built that way which means they have to be released. he also arbitrarily picked those detainees, 55 years of age, which is not cdc guidance and the health organization is 65,
2:36 am
he picked a number of 55. here's the issue. judges across the country they'll use it as a precedent. i.c.e. has been ordered to release over 100 criminal aliens back into the community. i want to read a kim. san francisco, attempted murder, released. chicago, felony homicide, release. new york city, sexual abuse of a child, ordered release, massachusetts, jamaican convicted of rape, released. these are orders of liberal judges in sanctuary cities. this decision will be used nationwide, i know the advocates will use it as a precedent. rob: can there be a higher court that would vote against this that would come down and flip this thing back to the way you want to see it? >> well, here's what happened. last night i.c.e. got a stay by the ninth circuit for a few days. there will be another hearing this week. the advocates are not giving up. the advocates are using this crisis to shut down immigration detention. they don't want any detainees detained by i.c.e.
2:37 am
this is about open borders agenda. they're taking advantage of a crisis to push their progressive agenda. jillian: we'll continue to follow it. thank you. rob: 36 minutes after the hour. an outyeah for joe biden to step aside, social media sounding off about the sexual assault allegation against the presumptive democrat nominee. jillian: the nba reportedly on the verge of taking an important step towards resuming the season. special accommodations being made for teams in states hit hard by the pandemic.

industry right now is looking for the best they can find. >> reporter: larry lynch is with the national restaurant association, a group representing almost 400,000 restaurant locations across the country. >> i think you're going to see a number of significant changes, depending on the kind of restaurant that you're participating in. >> reporter: some of those changes according to lynch, plexiglass between booths, tables spread out to conform to social distancing guidelines, and those menus you touch will be sanitized between customers. it's a conversation he continues to have with restaurant owners. >> they recognize they've got to build a comfort level with their customers to get them to come back. >> reporter: other businesses i'm providessed more than a month ago. megan brown owns a yoga studio outside washington, d.c. her business is entirely virtual now and may stay that way through the end of the year. >> if this ended tomorrow, everything was lifted and we're able to have in-person classes, we would continue this virtual experience for our clients?
