>> my thing is going to be pointing out friday tie he has on. >> we have to go. but that's it for us this ♪ >> respect our rights. respect our rights. respect our rights. pete: across america yesterday and we begin with a fox news alert. protesters hittings the streets from coast to coast. demanding governors lift lockdown orders. white house press secretary kellyanne encouraging americans to keep expressing their family of the rights, watch. >> this country you have a first amendment right to protest. you must protest within the bowfnedz the law. jillian: while some states are easing restrictions others are cracking down. shutting down all roads in the city of -- violators would could

be arrested. president trump says he hopes to see more states lifting restrictions. >> i like the states opening. they will be opening. they are going to open safely and quickly, i hope. we have to get our country back. jillian: so far several states have eased stay-at-home orders. and with that we say good morning to you. i'm jillian mele hello pete hegseth and jason chaffetz. pete: how are you. jason: he is fired up. pete: he has been emailing, texting. he has stuff to say. jillian good to see you downstairs. welcome to "fox & friends" on this saturday morning. it's been a big week. we have a lot to cover today. and we're glad you are with us this morning. you know, guys, i was watching the channel yesterday, and there were protests all across the country. red states, blue states. disupghts matter. people are fired up at this moment. they feel like they have done their part to slow the spread. they have listened to federal guidance, state based guidance to make sure that we take this

crisis responsibly. but at this point they feel like it's time to reopen. there is a protest right there, huntington beach, california. listen, guys, i have been to huntington beach. it takes a lot to get people to protest in huntington beach it's beautiful. here is a montage. shear a summary of some of what the protesters were saying yesterday. watch. >> my business is closed. we are shut down. no money coming in this is crazy. >> we want the state of indiana opened. we want the governor to stop picking winners and losers. >> we are being predicted from working and we need to get back to work. we never should have closed businesses. i actually work in the school system so i don't get to go back to work. that's unacceptable. >> we love our freedom, our constitution, our bill of rights everything. a virus or pandemic does not take that away. pete: though clips come from

illinois, indiana, california, across the country people ready to get back to work. jason: they are ready to get back to, woman of achievement we have talked a lot about personal responsibility and social distancing. i people get to make these types of choices. the government told us they wanted to flatten the curve. it does appear in most areas not all areas. a lot of areas though that curve has been flattened. and people, they want to get out and enjoy the outdoors. the national parks, they are still not open. the beaches aren't open. yet, the scientists are telling us it's pretty safe to go out there. that's not going to spread coronavirus as long as you have social distancing. so, the attorney general, bill barr, he brings this up, too. because he is expressing frustration and colonel that stating are pushing it too far. watch this. >> now that the curve has been flattened, the rate of spread has been slow you had, our system has not been overwhelmed and it's time to adjust to the

situation. it's time to start rolling back some of these restrictions. we are on the lookout for restrictions that are too widespread, too generalized. and are unduly discriminatory toward liberty such as religious liberty or speech. in the appropriate case we would consider taking action. jillian: pete, can i ask you a question on this? you do look at video across the country. and certain video you look at you do see people doing a better job of others of social distancing while they're out there protesting, right? nobody is arguing that you have the right to go out there and protest. i don't think anybody at this point is arguing that i think the problem a lot of people have when you see some of this video is you are seeing these people in crowds. do you think if people were to follow the guidelines and social distance while doing this their message might be heard a little bit better. pete: maybe. people will nitpick.

these are free people free citizens who believe that their local government is being draconian in the application of this. they say it's based on science. but we learn about kids infection rates and that they are not spreading it. we learned that being outdoors is a good thing. sunshine is a good thing. when you see it on the beach it makes it look like it's all crowded. people are taking necessary measures. people are frustrated, understandably so. when you go back to that map, jillian of the protest planned for today. i think we can throw it up. this is not a red state thing or blue state thing. this is red and blue states. some of which have eased measures. some of which have now locked it down for another month. stay-at-home orders extending all the way through may. upstate western new york has nothing to do with new york city. just like say eastern oregon, which is very different than portland and these governors are locking states down and people are saying hospital beds are

open. where i'm at we have plenty of capacity. cases are minimal and yet my business is shut down because you are putting the whole state under shutdown. that's where people get a lot of frustration. states are even big. and you have to apply different approaches county by county if you need. to say. jillian: to that point, jason, that's what governor ron desantis is doing in florida. you know, florida is a smaller state than other states in this country. but you have him taking orders to say okay, we're going to ease restrictions. we are going to open up certain parts of the state, miami-dade, fort lauderdale, you are not ready to completely reopen yet. do you think more governors in more states need to follow that mindset? jason: they do. you have everywhere from colorado to georgia out there taking the lead, opening up their states. you have places like michigan where you just are so locked down. and governors announcing that they are not going to open until not june. i have to tell you that is

terribly frustrating. wash your hands and keep social distancing. when you start closing beaches like gavin newsom did punitive to oranges county. frustrating to people who want to be responsible. i think protesters would do better and have a better message if they would do a little more social distancing. the general point is you can't lock down my religious services as the attorney general barr was talking about. even when people gather in cars in the parking lot and have a radio broadcast they have been breaking those up in places like mississippi. pete: that's why i love what barr was saying. we are going to look for places where governors are being egregious. the white house has laid out a template. here is how we reopened. some governors are going way too far. one governor who used to be a governor who is a commentator on our channel summed it up very, very nicely. governor mike huckabee was on the ingle angle last night. he talked about what this is all

about. take a listen. >> i think some of these governors have forgotten that the people of their state are citizens. they are not servants of the state. they need to be treated like citizens. we used to say in the governor's office in arkansas, trust the lord and tell the people. we simply mental. this we are not god. the government can't be god. some governments are acting like they're god almighty and they need to quit it. the second thing is tell the people explain to them what's helpful, what's common sense. explain what they can do and need to do. don't be a nanny state and have people on snitch patrol. this is getting out of hand. pete: free citizens, common sense. the application of your own risk caucus. you know who is young and healthy. we know about who this virus targets. you can be responsible about that and make your own decision. and that's certainly how -- it seems the president feels in talking about this to some governors trying to cover their hide going a little bit further

than people want. jason: that's absolutely right. i love the way he said that. pete: well said by the governor who has experience in that front. we have another big story. joe biden is calling on the senate secretary to locate records from a former staffer accusing him of sexual assault. jillian: garrett tenney joins us with more allegations of another woman. >> joe biden is doubling down on his denial that he ever sexually assaulted tara reade. is he requesting the secretary of the senate to not only locate but make public any record that might deal with reade's accusations from 27 years ago. writing that i take or direct whatever steps are necessary to establish the location of the records of this office. and once they have been located to direct the search for the alleged complaint and to make public the results of this search. but that request has created a bit of confusion over where

exactly these records might be and who has control over them. the national archives released a statement saying any records of senate personnel complaints from 1993 would have remained under the control of the senate. but, even before the search gets underway. top democrats have been rushing to biden's defense including former attorney general eric holder. >> i mean, it's interesting that the people who are trying to fan this thing are the very people who support donald trump and of course who say nothing about the allegations that have been raised, i think very credibly, against trump for a number of women over a great -- long period of time. i have known joe biden for 20, 25 years. what has been described is inconsistent with the president who i have come to know and who i worked with. >> this all comes as a person has come forward with sexual assault allegations. murray the niece of christine o'donnell claims that in 2000 will biden commented on the size

of her breast at a political event when she was just 14 years old. her aunt o'donnell tells fox news she remembers the event and that it creepsd her out as well. we have reached out to the biden campaign for comment and we have not received a response back to y'all. pete: garrett, thank you very much. a lot of people pointing out the double standard, of course. he had that interview yesterday on another network and he kind of tap danced around the words he said yesterday. there are more interviews to be had here, guys. it will be interesting to see where this goes. if the national archives says we don't have it, it will be interesting to see where it goes to actually find if the records exist. jillian: absolutely. a lot of focus is going to be on the records at the university of delaware. we will continue to follow. this turn to your headlines. we begin with a fox news alert. breaking overnight two officers are fighting for their lives after a police helicopter crashed in texas. the houston pd chop per went down in an apartment complex. both officers had to be cut out of the wreckage.

the police chief says they're in, quote, pretty bad shape and is asking for prayers. they are undergoing surgery at this hour. no word on what caused the crash. kim jong un appearing in public for the first time in nearly three weeks. north korean state media releasing new video overnight claiming to show him visiting a factory near pyongyang. rumors have been swirling about the dictator's health for weeks after he missed celebration for the country's founder on april 15th. president trump did not comment on the appearance. well, part of a b 52 bomber flying off during honoring healthcare workers in new orleans. a panel dropping from the aircraft before crashing on to a private property. no one was hurt. the air force retrieved the debris. a safety investigation is current little underway. and despite the mishap of flyovers happenings today across several major cities. air force thunderstorms and navy blue angels set for a second salute first responders.

to pass in the legislator. and now she might be facing a lawsuit. all of this as protesters flood the state capital demanding the state reopen. joining us now to discuss michigan house speaker lee chatfield along with jody brown, a michigan resident, who attended the protest at the michigan's capital. thank you both for coming, being on the program this morning. we appreciate it. jody, i'm going to start with you before we get to the speaker. you were there at the cap attachment you have been a part of this -- capitol, you have been a part of the lockdown of your state. what are you asking the governor to do? >> we are asking our government to work together. we elected these people to represent us, to we can have representation representation. we are at a point where we can't continue to be locked down, be told different. being told that we can't do certain things. the information we are getting is very confusing. people are really suffering.

and it's time that we get back to work. pete: mr. speaker, you know, we all watched these protests, clear frustration. governor whitmer has taken a very heavy handed approach. she is now potentially going to an executive order to extend the lockdown. what can you do about it? >> the law in michigan is very clear. in order for any state of emergency to be extended, it requires an act of the legislature. we came here. we came here and continued the regular democratic process and we rather decided to codify some of her executive orders and put those on her desk. we think that returning to the democratic process is an important step for us right now. what we did was we extended our hand to her in a partnership. she rejected that and she decided to go it alone. we also authorize me to file a lawsuit on behalf of the house and we're leaving all options on the table. people of michigan right now. pete: you haven't filed it yet, mr. speaker, but you might if

she takes further measures. >> we gave authorization. it's because the people of our state are from us straighted. they have had their livelihood taken away can't be told they can't work their job and take care of their family. unprecedented challenge is going to require unprecedented partnership and that's what we're looking at right now. pete: not a lot of partnership if it's being dictated from top. jody, you have done your part. have you don't social distancing, staying at home, listen towght measures. your husband held off an elective surgery as part of this. so the frustration is, we have done our part, yet, we don't see light at the end of the tunnel. what is governor whitmer looking at here? what is she doing? >> we really don't know what she is doing. i think that's why we gathered at the capitol the other day. we need more definitive answers. and we are getting so many

different messages from her what you can and can't do. they are ridiculous. there is people that are suffering and people need to get back to their lives. we need people to understand that the citizens that gathered at the capitol were there because they need their surgeries, they need people to realize that the suicide rates are going up. we need to get back to our lives and we're just so beyond frustrated. there are people that can't feed their families. and this is really starting to take a toll on the emotional and mental health of the individuals in this state and it's not fair. it's not fair that she ends up pushing up another 28 days. all of this is out of control. pete: that's a long time. i see that big sign freedom that's ultimately what this

country is all about. thank you for being here. good luck. >> thank you for having us. pete: more than 30 million americans have lost their job among covid-19. next job mapping out how can get back to business. andy puzder is on deck.

government intervention that we're currently living on right now. living under right now, which is very expansive government. interference in the economy. discouraging people to work. we have got these massive unemployment insurance benefits. we needed those to get through the economic shutdown. i'm not critical of congress or the president at all for enacting those policies to get us through. this but now we need to be weansd off of those policies and get back to that dynamic market that gave us really the strongest labor market in modern history under president trump. and people are ready for it. i was listening to the interview now with the individuals from michigan hear about this across the country. even in california. people wanting to get back to work. they want to get back to normal. it's a pat we need to get on very quickly. jillian: you mentioned the unemployment benefits. you mentioned a story of one person who quite literally walked off of a job at this point right now where so many people are losing them because this person is making more on unemployment. i have heard that story over and

over again across the country. there are millions of people who rightfully need that money but some people are making more money right now on that. so how is that going to help or hurt us going forward? right now it's helping to exaggerate the unemployment rate. keep in mind, this is something nancy pelosi wants to extend. right now texas spicer. it's a four month benefit they get $600 on top of what they would normally get from the state. you get an additional $600. that was important to get us through, again, the crisis. but pelosi wants to expand. this this is that old democrat mantra that you never let a crisis go to waste. they are not going to let this one go to waste. so while people did need it. there are people that take advantage of it. and they shouldn't be able. to say if you have a job, you are not entitled to unemployment benefits. some of this will come back to bite people that are taking advantage of it. it's a bad policy. republicans opposed it, and it

needs to expire. jillian: as a former ceo of the restaurant group i have to ask you here. restaurants are one of those very hard hit. some will likely never reopen again. others when they do reopen it's going to be harder because you won't be allowed to have the same amount of people in there that you would with social distancing guidelines. what's your message to restaurant owners this morning. >> i think in part there is good news. the good news is people have become very used to third party delivery and drive-thru and cush service during the pandemic. i have gotten very used to having my food brought to the front door while i watch a first run tv show on netflix on my couch. you are not going to need that dining room service as much as you used to if you are in the fast food sector or casual. people like ruth chris that depend on a dining room are going to have a problem until we have a vaccine and people are

comfortable being in close quarters again. if you are dependent on dining room there will be other issues. other sectors of the industry should do well during this. jillian: andy puzder new book "getting america working again" thank you for your time. >> thanks so much. jillian: many in the media rushing to defend joe biden amid sexual assault allegations. >> there is no gray area. this is black and white. this simply did not happen. >> call for full transparency on the record. that's what needed to happen. carley: loot said it's lisa book contrast to what happened with brett kavanaugh. she is w next. we're by yours, too.

>> joe biden, the presumptive democratic nominee for president, denied a former senate staffer's sexual assault allegation. >> the interview was very direct, but it was a home team interview. >> he was incredibly defiant. there is no gray area. this is black and white. this simply did not happen. >> he called for full transparency on the record. you know, that's what needed to happen. that's what didn't happen, let's be clear, in the kavanaugh hearing. >> right isn't running an intellectually honest operation to get to the bottom of whether tara reade was victimized. the right is running a smear campaign against joe biden. >> many in the media weighing in on the joe biden sexual assault

allegation against him. pete: stark contrast how the media treated boston when he faced. lisa booth. >> hey, guys. pete: under the guise home team interview. yes, there were tough questions. what did you take away from what the vice president said? >> he actually got himself in more trouble than prior to the interview. because he raised additional questions about the university of delaware document that he clearly doesn't want out to the public. and he even said part of the reason he doesn't want them out is because of conversations that he had had with putin. after everything president trump went through with russia and the allegations from that biden doesn't want information out because of putin. that raises information what's in those documents not because of tara reade but because that

as well. the media's treatment of this has been scandalous. think about it. when tara reade first did the interview on march 25th joe biden did 25 interviews. not one person asked them about tara reade it. took the "new york times" 18 days to finally cover the story. and then when they did, they actively worked to discredit tara reade and to give cover to joe biden. what they did with tara reade is pointed out it's a crime to file a false police report. they raised questions about the timing of it because joe biden was closing in on the democratic nomination. and they gave cover to joe biden because they actually edited a line that the biden campaign didn't like and that line read that there were no other allegations, outside of unwanted hugging and kissing that made women uncomfortable. they actually edited that to satisfy joe biden. jillian: take a listen to a little clip from this interview yesterday. >> no, it is not true. i'm saying unequivocally it

never ever happened. from the very beginning i have said believing women means taking the woman's claim seriously when she steps forward and then vet it. look into it. that's true in this case as well. but, in the end, in every case, the truth is what matters. in this case the truth is the claims are false. jillian: lisa, let me ask you this, if you are one of the women who is potentially on joe biden's short list as a v.p. candidate, how are you feeling right now? what else do you want to know from this? do you want to see anything else addressed? >> >> i don't think they care. they want to be vice president. they are more than happy to discredit tara reade regardless of whether they think she is telling the truth or not to get the power of the vice presidency. we have seen that by the quick change from democrats including a lot of women on the short list originally saying oh we should believe all women no matter what because it's brave to step forward when the eyes of the

nation are on you. and now with no due process. they don't care. look at the way the media treated and democrats treated christine ford. they -- or they treated brett kavanaugh. they pushed the allegations of christine ford. it didn't her childhood friend leland keyser the party in question she didn't remember the party in question that it didn't happen that didn't seem to raise any questions by the media or the instance of debra ramirez. you had the reporter that covered it said that her -- that she and ronan farrow aggressivelily pursued the story because they wanted to establish a pattern of behavior or with julie swetnick, nbc actually sat on information that would have discredited her and michael after nettie and would have helped brett kavanaugh that sat on that the why protected and shield the media. it's disgusting and scanned lus.

jason: it's actually amazing. joe biden created more problems with that interview. he was asked very succinctly why not allow the university of delaware documents to be scanned for tara reade's name he wouldn't answer that go look at the national archives but when you go to the university of delaware oh know you can't do that there might be other stuff in there that the public might want to know and it's an election. that was basically his answer. lisa: he didn't want to answer the question. there is other stuff in there perhaps outside of the accusation. i tweeted eric swalwell and adam schiff look, lie guys, are you interested in getting access to the university of delaware considering the fact that russia was of the utmost important of

this country for years and went through multiple investigations including the mueller investigation to find out there was no collusion on behalf of trump and his team? are they interested in finding out what biden so desperately doesn't want out to the people in the an is obviously no. which is another egregious double standard that exists with both the left and the media. pete: yeah. it's true. jason, to your point though. joe biden is prone to talking about record players. he may not be familiar with this whole idea of a word search. might be a little bit of a generational gap there. there are reports that he sent that to the university of delaware maybe months ago to look at what's there, too. so records will be a big part of this follow-up. lisa booth, thank you so much. >> he could have just asked hillary clinton. he should have asked hillary clinton how to get rid of documents. pete: she knows how. you are exactly right. lisa, thank you very much. appreciate it. >> thanks, guys. pete: turning now to your headlines. doomsday mom lori vallow won't

get out of jail any time soon. denying request to lower her job. rejecting the claim. the prosecutor was recording their conversation. disappearance of her two children since they have not been seen since september. and a park ranger gets shoved into the water while trying to enforce soshed. and it's caughen -- social dist. and it's caught on camera. >> i got you man. >> oh. >> texas ranger was breaking up the crowd for smoking and drinking. the man tried running off as the ranger brandon hix is charged with attempted assault. and instead of walking across the stage, some high school students will be racing to graduation in florida. actually. >> actually get their diploma at the start finish line and do a victory lap around the track incredibly cool.

>> the car is going to be decked out. definitely the radio is going to be turned up listening to the speeches. pete: daytona international speedway turning into a drive threw in flagler county. parents are only allowed one car on the track. interesting concept. americans are trying to lock down love despite being in relationships. a new survey says 42% of americans who are in committed relationships admit to downloading dating apps while in quarantine. 37% of singles say they have even tried reconnecting with an ex while under stay-at-home orders. those are your headlines. i guess desperate times call for desperate measures. whoa. jillian: i'm not surprised. jason: you admit to that? jillian: not surprised. nothing surprises me do you adays. pete: true. jason: not cool. jillian: the fbi's target

had a case against general flynn. they surprised on him and most of 2016 as part of their illicit spy operation against candidate trump. just before they came into office they concluded there was not a viable case against general flynn. despite using all the kings men and kings horses to bring him down. then strzok at the direction of senior leadership at the fbi intervened with the support of sally yates the hold over obama acting attorney general during the trump administration they went and ambushed him. even then they concluded he didn't lie. and it wasn't until the corrupt mueller operation came in that they coerced him into this plea agreement. attorney general barr should have last week moved to begin to end the cases -- the case against -- general flynn. and frankly if he doesn't move quickly enough, if i were the president i would direct him specifically to call the case off. and the president should also be considering pardons for flynn

and others caught up in the same investigation that led to the prosecution of flynn. look, you can't trust anything the mueller special counsel operation did or that arose from the mueller special counsel operation. flynn, manafort, stone, jason, all of them should be pardoned. jason: part of what happened here is that agents did not find that he necessarily lied. but struck wanted to keep this open. he perpetuated this and told them not to close it down. >> that's exactly right. they said they had, quote, no viable case. even after that went just before the ambush interview, as you -- as has been detailed in the notes. they said whether well do we want to get him to admit to wrongdoing or get him fired or prosecuted. you don't go in as fbi agent to get someone fired. did you go in as truth investigators. you have a crime you are investigating. there was a political motive that was exposed. what's frustrating to me, jason,

cabinet.com. you are willing to send something out and support first responders and healthcare workers at this moment? >> yeah. you can click on the flags for fortitude tab and there are instructions on how to make a nomination. pete: nominate someone who is out there doing their job every day. there are direct ways people can help. pretty symbolic strong way to say thank you. >> absolutely. all these can be customized on the website for the recipient's name or dates of service as well. pete: shane, if i may ask, you are in wisconsin like everybody else going through. this how has this moment affected you and your community? are we on the right track? >> it's been devastating for the business. it's been devastating for the business as well being on lockdown. we are wiggling our way through it but we are hoping that our products bring, you know, kind of a light at the end of the tunnel. bring a smile to the hero's face. especially the nurses and people on the front line right now.

>> every american was asked to make sacrifices to help defeat the virus. not long ago models predicted between 1.5 million and 2.2 million people would have died in the united states without the mitigation through our agrive response and remarkable bravery of the american people we have saved thousands and thousands of lives. jillian: president trump praising the sacrifices of americans as the country battles coronavirus. his remarks come as thousands of protesters hit the streets coast to coast demanding governors ease lockdown orders. pete: many more protests are planned today over stay-at-home restrictions. i have gotten texts already saying my state is not on the map. we know you are out there. lots of protests today across the nation. several states have also eased lockdown orders. we're glad you are with us on this second hour of the saturday edition of "fox & friends." jillian, good morning. jillian: good morning.

pete: jason, great to have you way out west but glad to have you. jason: thank you. glad to be here. jillian: battle brewing over how to handle the pandemic. mitch mcconnell releasing a packed agenda as senators return to work on monday. pete: garrett tenney joins us more on the week ahead. good morning. >> hey, good morning to you all, good morning. there are several hearings scheduled to deal with the coronavirus. the bulk of those that have been announced are for advancing president trump's nominees for various posts within his administration. and that has caused a bit of frustration for both democrats and some republicans who are concerned about the senate reconvening at all while the d.c. region remains under stay-at-home orders. top democrats are also pushing for a series of oversight hearings to hold the administration accountable for its response to the pandemic. senate minority leader schumer tweeted this. senate republicans should be laselaser-focused on the crisis caused by covid-19. not confirming right wing judges or protecting big business from

legal liability. majority leader mitch mcconnell has rescinded his decision to bring the senate back. arguing that their work is just as essential as those on the front lines who are risking their lives every day. on friday, the capital's attending physician released guidelines to help the senate return safely. on that, mcconnell said office of attending physician has transmitted detailed advice to members and committees that covers a wide variety of subjects from staffing levels to physical work spaces to self-screening procedures to conduct at home every morning. i strongly urge my colleagues to consult these guidelines as we carefully resume in person work. but there is a bit of frustration over that guidance since some of the recommendations include installing barriers and motion sensor detectors in the offices as one senate aid put it to fox news we don't have that stuff just lying around much less just a few days before we are supposed to return. it will be an interesting day on monday when folks start to come

back. pete: garrett tenney thank you very much for that report. go to you, jason as someone who spent a lot of time on capitol hill. what's your take on the senate saying it's time to get back to, would. nancy pelosi has put a pause on the house coming back. what's your take? jason: yeah, it's embarrassing that speaker pelosi and the house will not be back into session. postal workers are going to work. homeland security people go to work. all sorts of government workers are going to work. truckers are doing their job. buff the house is not going to come back to work. so i applaud the senate for getting there i think they should have been a n. a week or two before. i am glad that they're actually coming back into work. and we have actually senator brawn, senator from indiana, freshman senator but senator, thank you so much for joining us this morning on "fox & friends" your safety indiana is making some progress. give us an update on what indiana is doing and how the federal government is helping. >> so, indiana just yesterday decided to get back into

business. governor eric holcomb -- indy was a top 15 potential spots of a flare up. top 15 metro area done a great job. made up of entrepreneurs. a great business climate. so here specially that pent up demand that you have been seeing has been in play from the get-go. i'm so glad decided to get things back to what i call a smart restart. so we are in that direction. jillian: senator, can you tell me what is the plan in your state, do you know, for attempting to keep this curve flat and if you do start to see a spike in numbers at all, do you know if there is a plan in place for that? >> so, since i have been back, march 26th, i have talked to so many business owners, small, medium and large. they know it's in their own best interest not to back slide. and we know that what you can do is fairly simple, that you have

got within your own control until we get herd immunity and vaccines. so, i think the governor wanted to make sure that businesses across the state were going to pay attention to what's put us in a good spot and then take the risk that we all have to because if we keep going down the pathway of what we have been on, justified tamp the disease down, you risk permanent demand and supply disruption. and i talked about on a couple floor speeches before we left. and we're on that cusp. we f. we don't start doing what you are seeing governors across the country mostly doing. we will have issues much larger to contend with, bankruptcies and a whole cascade of things. that's why i'm glad to see most governors are sensibly reopening county by county. indy and the metro counties are different from most of the other counties in our state. and i think our governor made the right move.

pete: yeah. senator. you said the right phrase. it's in their own best interest to be responsible to continue the pathway. we just showed a graphic. i'm not sure you saw it of what indiana is doing. masks are recommended but not mandated and retail and commercial businesses can open up and certain percentages. a reasonable reopening, respecting citizens to be personally responsible and exercise common sense. but i have got to get your take back to capitol hill. nancy pelosi and democrats are now eyeing a 1 trillion-dollar additional phase 4 relief package. but they say it will be geared toward helping states. there's concern that this looks a lot like a blue state bailout. that there are states that have been fiscally mismanaged for a long time trying to take advantage of this moment. what is your take from the senate perspective, from indiana's perspective of yet another bailout? >> coming from a state like ours, where grassroots, you appreciate the productive side of the economy, which, you know, a little over a year that i have

been there, i have not seen hardly any regulations democrats get rid of. will government is the way things work. we are going to be real cautious. we all knew we had to do somewhat what we did. the point going forward is it's an opportunity for people that believe in the top down larger government to start talking about another trillion dollars, including putting money in there for state governments that have their own ability to borrow money and raise revenues. and this certainly shouldn't be a way that they can get bailed out for the way they have poorly managed their own state government. much different atmosphere when we get back. maybe some errors and omissions. agriculture i'm worried about because it was the only weak part of our economy going into it. we need to be careful what we don't let the other side use this as an opportunity. to me, it's a preview for the american public of what it would look like if that worse case scenario would occur this

november. you can see bureaucracy, big government top down, that's what we would have more of. jason: now, senator, i have got to ask you about the paycheck protection program because the ppp was sold to businesses in part as a loan to help cover their payroll. but the irs late thursday issued guidance saying that now those businesses, they are not going to be able to deduct their personnel expenses. that's going to be a new tax on them that they did not know that was going to be there. what are you going to do about that? >> jason, you are not going to believe this. i was on that small business task force group all of us -- that was the only glimpse i had of what a bipartisan effort would be about. i mentioned that being a business person. i said forgiveness of a liability constitutes income. we have got to make sure that that is protected against. of course, it's in the broad language of the ppp, this,

again, shows you how the bureaucracy, the agency that have to implement and interpret have their fingerprint on it. that's going to get cleared up. because that would be an abomination if after doing all of this business on or abouts would have to declare that as income. i will that should not happen if bestick with the spirit of what was in the law itself. jillian: that was devastating to business owners out there. get your opinion on a new 15 page dossier that shows china intentionally hid evidence about the coronavirus outbreak. it states that to the endangerment of other countries, the chinese government covered up news of the virus by silencing or disappearing doctors who spoke out destroying evidence of it in laboratories and refusing to provide live samples to international scientists who were working on a vaccine. this is an excerpt from five

eyes intelligence alliance dossier. your on that. >> we will find out a lot about that. to me this goes back to whole discussion of what is our relationship vis-a-vis china. of course we could see their true colors. in terms of you who they operate a as state capitalists with all the issues what they are doing with trade. the president has been vying against them. finally we were getting them to come around. this is an indication of what you are dealing with when you have got the bureau. when you have state capitalists. information is not free. it's not transparent. and, you know, there has been discussions of being punitive. just be honest. tell us what happened. show the world that you're going to be a little different going forward because, to me, china is going to pay the biggest price from what's happened with the coronavirus. because it's on top of bad

behavior as being a world nic power to boot. pete: they should. state capitalists synonym for -- thank you for joining us this morning. great stuff. >> you bet. jillian: turn now to headlines. joe biden asking the senate secretary to find any records from a former staffer accusing him of sexual assault. the former vice president strongly denying claims made by tara reade the "new york times" editorial board is now calling for a full investigation writing in part, quote: mr. biden's word is insufficient to dispel the cloud. the democratic national committee should move to investigate the matter swiftly and thoroughly with the full cooperation of the biden campaign. actor joe pantilono recovering from a head injury after getting hit with a car. walking with family in connecticut neighborhood when a car t-boned a porch sending it

>> i'm pleased to announce that gilead now has an eua from the fda for remdesivir an important treatment for hospitalized coronavirus patients. it's really a very promising situation. jillian: a break through in the fight against coronavirus. the fda issuing an emergency use authorization for the antiviral therapy remdesivir in treating some patients with covid-19. here to react is fox news medical contributor dr. j net nesheiwat. good to see you, doctor. >> good morning, jillian, good to see you, too. jillian: tell me what you think of the drug. >> this is a very, very significant important finding that we have in this trial of

remdesivir. very encouraging. it's going to have a positive impact on the community that it's going to save lives. what it tells us is this drug can stop and block the formation of this virus. and what we're seeing is that patients who are hospitalized they get to leave it four to five days earlier. it's 11 day stay for patients on remdesivir vs. 15 days. 31% improvement they will recover faster. the mortality rate is slightly lower as well. definitely something we need. gives us a glimmer of hope despite the fact that we have over a million cases and over 60,000 deaths so far in this country. jillian: any bit of good news and hope at this point we are certainly excited to, you know, have this information. let's bring in g.o.p. strategist and frequent it was erin elmore. good to see you, erin. >> good morning, jillian. jillian: tell me what happened. you tested negative for coronavirus in march. you had symptoms. you lost your sense of smell and

taste things like that. tested positive for antibodies in april, right? >> that's absolutely correct. my only actual symptom was no smell and taste. otherwise i was completely healthy, living my life like a normal person because i had the safety of that negative covid test. jillian: that's crazy. dr. nesheiwat, tell us how this happens and is it common? >> yeah it. actually is i hope you are feeling better, erin. and i'm glad your symptoms were very mild. for most people this just shows 95% of people their symptoms will be mild. what could happen is if you have the nasal swab, it could come down to the person was that swabbing your nose, the technique wasn't proper. maybe they didn't get enough specimen. and also it could just be that the test itself it's not 100 percent accurate. it doesn't have 100 percent ache crazy. the specificity and sensitivity is what we look at when we are conducting these tests. most likely it could have been the person who did the swab for you didn't get enough specimen. it could have been maybe your

mucous membranes of your nostrils and dry. not surprising to me actually very common that symptom of losing your sense of taste and smell is something we are hearing a lot of. quickly it came back. jillian: erin, i'm sure it was such a shock to you when your antibody test came back positive. >> it did. and i was so shocked that i told my husband to go get a test as well. the very next day he went and got a test and had the same result. he never lost his sense of taste or smell. but he did have a bit of a symptom ache for about 24 hours. jillian: erin, we are glad you are feeling better. dr. that jet nesheiwat thank you for that information. >> good to see you. jillian: a number of ceos are stepping up and steering their companies through tough times. >> lee carter breaks down the leaders who are doing it right and how it is going to shape customer loyalty for years to come.

pete: welcome back. convict headlines. mgm r reentire block finish season. reportedly mandalay bay hotel house up to 24 courts it. comes as the nba reportedly asked to not set up covid-19 for players who are asymptomatic. interesting development. could soon disappear in major league baseball. the mlb is looking into a deal with umpires for monastery set up that would restrict movement outside the field because of the covid-19 pandemic. i have never been a fan of the

replay, jason over to you. jason: not in baseball. i like the nba. i think that's a good idea for the nba. all right. how businesses are responding to the covid-19 crisis can and likely will shape our little to companies in the future. here to highlight some ceos that are showing good examples of what leadership looks like in the moment is lee carter. she is the president at maslansky and partners. and a favorite of ours. a regular on the show. and thank you so much for being here. we want to start with an example by leading with empathy. this is from the starbucks ceo kevin johnson. and his message to employees. six months ago who could have predicted the world would have -- be united in a common cause overcoming the human impacts of covid-19. the loss of life, feelings of isolation and loneliness, concerns about health and fears of economic uncertainty? but here we are, 1/2 gaghts this together how did that play?

>> you know, the one thing that we really want to see in leadership right now is that they understand the magnitude of the situation. employees and family go back to work. asking them to stay committed through this time, you want to know that your leadership understands how big of a deal this is, how hard this is. what a huge impact this is having on all of our lives. we want to hear from ceos that they understand first the personal impact before anything else. this is really about people before profits. and we want to hear them being empathetic. good leaders are doing that. leaders are stepping up and really helping us feel like they are in our shoes. jason: all right. establishing so-called swim lane. and reason for being there. listen to what one ceo said. >> we are doing everything we can to fight covid-19 and support the healthcare workers. we are a leader in this area of respirators. we needed to be ready to step

up. so we have idle capacity in the united states that we brought online well before there was a call for a covid fight here in the u.s. >> so one of the things that we are seeing, the best ceo leadership the business business response is one that makes response for that business to be in. businesses are talking about checks or donations that they are making. this is about fanning out for all of us businesses making impact doing what they do best. 3m they make respirators and they're doing it at scale. this is a great line for them to be in and we want to hear more about what they're going to be doing to help us all get through it. all of those companies stepping up and doing great things at this time gilead unilever talking about all they are doing in hand sanitizer and antibacterial soap. we want businesses to be doing what they do best and doing it at scale to help us get through. this.

jason: now, one of the other points you bring out is that it is important to just be brutally honest. i mean brutally honest, even if there is really bad news. listen to what marriott international had to say. >> here are the facts. covid-19 is having a more severe and sudden impact on our business than 9/11 and the 2009 financial crisis combined. in most markets are businesses are up and running 75% below normal levels. >> i mean, tough news there. but it's the truth. and what we want to see right now in ceo leadership is that good news seems to travel fast, bad news travels faster. if impacted we need to understand it. if we are not going to get through to customer service we need to know that if as investors we need to understand what's going on in a negative way. we want to know what they are going to do to get through it but be brutally honest with us. when they really do it stands

out to us. it's authentic and what we want to hear. jason: these are leaders from some of the biggest brand names of the country. there is a reason why they're the biggest brand names they have exceptional leadership like we saw there lee carter, thank you for your expertise and sharing that with us today. >> thanks so much. jason: all right, coming up, all out beach brawl. californians have had enough of governor gavin newsom's lockdown restrictions on some of their beaches. california resident and radio talk show host mike slater calls the governor petty. he joins us next. if there and the wolf huffed and puffed. like you do sometimes, grandpa?

well, when you have copd, it can be hard to breathe. so my doctor said... symbicort can help you breathe better-starting within 5 minutes. it doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. symbicort helps provide significant improvement of your lung function. symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken more than twice a day. it may increase your risk of lung infections, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. symbicort could mean a day with better breathing. watch out, piggies! ask your doctor if symbicort is right for you. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

of getting your business back. at paycom, our focus will always be you and we'll see you soon. pete: we are back with a fox news alert. protesters hitting the streets from coast to coast demanding their states lift lockdown orders. >> we want the governor to stop picking winners and losers. >> there is no for governors forcing americans into poverty. >> we want our civil rights back restored 100 percent. jillian: more protests are planned for today over stay-at-home restrictions across the nation. several states have already eased lockdown orders. jason: but california isn't one of them. governor gavin newsom unhappy about what he saw on some of the state's beaches last week. orders derg beaches in orange county to remain closed. >> we're going to do a hard

close in that part of the state just in orange county area. specific issues on some of those beaches have raised alarm bells. people congregating there that weren't practicing physical distancing. so, we're going to have a temporary pause on the beaches down there. pete: okay is a day at the beach really all that risky? here to react california resident and radio talk show host mike slater friend of the show. mike, thank you for being here this morning. appreciate it. the governor says we have got to shut down orange county too much sunshine heat and humidity. can't do it. what's your response? >> i would argue the governors have had a lot of goodwill these last couple months. by being petty. and doing punitive things like this. if there were 10,000 people at the beach in orange county and i don't think they were wanted and giavasis majority doing what they needed to do to stay safe

that's still 3% of the company. you have 99% of compliance. almost everyone on s. on board with you. don't risk that by being petty and losing maybe 30, 40, 50% of the people on the fence but still doing what you suggest we do. don't be petty. jillian: okay, mike. put this in perspective for people who aren't from california and aren't from there. you can't go to the beach in that part of the state. what can people do right now that i guess would surprise you that you can't go to the beach but you can do this? >> there is really not much you could do at all in california. we are still on a pretty strong lockdown i would argue. and i don't know how necessary it is -- listen, if we remember the whole point about flattening the curve wasn't to end the virussor prevent everyone from getting sick ever again flatten the curve. praise god we are so far under the capacity it's amazing. definitely time we can allow some people to go out and do some things, right?

i think it will be a bell curve. i don't think everyone is going to go rush back and do everything they were doing before. 2.5% of people going out do. 13% of people wait a week. another 34% like me probably going to wait another month see how that first group went. nice natural bell curve. again, we are not going to prevent everyone from getting this virus. let the 2% of people go out and do some things if they want. jason: mike, what the scientists are telling us is being outdoors, if you have the social distancing, is actually good for you. it's a good way to actually kill the virus. it doesn't last long. yet, president trump said he was going to open up the national parks 10 days ago. he said they would open quickly. they aren't open. gavin newsom is keeping beaches closed. but i have got to tell you. why can't people take on their own personal responsibility and why can't you go outside to a beach or a national park? it's an embarrassment? >> it's good for your soul. it's good for your health.

i would say this to the governors. there is three systems at play here. you have the virus which is a big unknown. we still don't know a lot about it. you have the economy there is a ton of unknowns in that system, too. what is the penny a barrel oil. what's 30 million unemployed americans. we don't know what that is. there is a third system at play and that's human nature. you have to think of that when you are making these directives and telling people what they can and cannot do. you know the word quarantine it literally is italian for 40 days. it goes back to the 1300s in venice when a ship came into port it had to wait for 40 days outside before it could come in. they came up with 40 days because they knew the limits of human -- they knew you could only really keep people locked up for about 4 40 days before ty say all right. all right. enough here. can i please go to the beach and walk with my family, please? jillian: in fairness some people don't abide by the social distancing guidelines and they ruin it might be a small group of people and ruin it for a larger number of people. >> yeah. but i think it's okay to do that

because it is such a small number of people. we're are not going to kill the virus and stop everyone from getting it. let a couple people go. we are so far under that healthcare capacity line it's okay. we don't need to be acting today as if it is march 10th. we have learned enough that we can change our behavior a little bit. >> 40 days how long jesus was in the wilderness. didn't go 41. thank you very much, mike, thank you some. appreciate your time. reached out to governor newsom. have not heard back. all right. now, just a few additional headlines as well. starting with a fox news alert. we just learned that an officer has died. after police helicopter crashed in texas. a second officer is fighting for his life the houston ph.d. chopper went down in complex overnight. both officers had to be cut out of the wreckage. the fallen officer yet to be released. no word on what caused the crash. god bless him. we will follow that a paramedic

lock down restriction. interest in home buy starting to see upturn. with 12% rise in the number of people filing home purchase applications. the strongest in almost a month. joining us now to discuss from did ily lengths real estate dolly and jenny lengths. thank you for being here. really appreciate it. dolly, let me start with you it. seems a bit counter intuitive people are locked down. maybe not visiting houses and purchasing. you are seeing something different. what are you seeing? >> we are seeing a lot of interest preview ability to go and look at properties. our website traffic is well over 100 percent over last month already. and people are calling us and

contacting us via skype and other medium just to get on line to perhaps get a bargain. you know, once everything opens up. >> right. 30 year fixed rate is 3.32% which is the lowest since freddie mac started tracking this rate in 1971. when you are doing rent by analysis. where a lot of parts in the country rentals are so high it really makes sense to buy. pete: rates are really low, jenny, people are clicking around the internet in their own home i want something else when this is all done. >> exactly. pete: do you anticipate more of a bump once lockdown measures are reduced. >> we do. and also 5 million millennials are turning 30 this year. that's the time where they are going to need to buy a home. they are trying to settle down. we do see a bump and for wealthier clients we are do so many rentals in the hamptons people want space before the season started. we see after 9/11 a huge rental

boom and ultimately we think this is l. turn into sales in the fall in the hamptons. pete: dolly, are we seeing a move from more crowded places to more rural places in fact some data suggests that. 39% of city dwellers considering moving to densely populated areas since covid-19. are you noticing this i live in a more crowded area. i'm part of a shutdown. i would like a little bit more space. what are you seeing? >> similar to 9/11 when people ran from the city, we are seeing that type of activity. they are running to the hamptons, they are running to greenwich. they are running to west chester or other suburbs. but, whether or not that sticks will have to be seen. it's possible people run their now, rent there now and don't buy, right? and actually stay in their city homes or it's possible that they like 9/11 buy a country home. stay there when they can and see also if it sticks that work from

home at least sometimes is okay. and they don't have a big commute. pete: generally, i know you work in the tristate area are you seeing also moving out of state i'm here and seeing the measures in new york but i'm ready to move to texas or florida or south carolina arsouth korea. >> like dolly said more wealthy clients buy another home. not a mass exodus in the city but maybe buy a home in florida and miami and maples a home in greenwich. we are not people uprooting themselves from new york city and move to a completely rural area. pete: certainly is the time. go ahead. >> however, people are considering moving up their plans, right? so some people were planning to move in a couple of years anyway and moving those plans up. we are seeing a lot of that. >> hastening of suburbs if that what you were going to do. pete: a moment to review and contemplate. jenny and dolly lenz thank you

>> we are inviting our fans to go to kentucky derby.com. select the horse, the triple crown winner they think will win the virtual race today. while they are there donate money to the causes. churchill downs has pledged to match up to $1 million in fan donations. we really want to get to that amount. we know our fans can do it. more than anything to celebrate with us at home and celebrate this great american tradition. get dressed up with us. #kentucky derby at home. the kentucky derby celebrates overcoming impossible odds. we as a country will do that and want our fans to be a part of celebration today. >> such a wonderful event. some people look forward to testify year. i know you get so excited. you plan your outfit. your hat. janice, take a look back at some of the best of the kentucky derby. >> okay. >> rain, thunder, snow, the kentucky derby is the place to go. live at churchill downs. how do you like my hat. >> already having fun.

i love horses and kentucky derby and i love mint juleps. >> look at this. >> i'm talking horseys: yes, mr. bafford how does it feel triple crown last year was justified. >> you you are going to be riding. >> justified kentucky derby. >> you are doing good for a first timer. ♪ >> hi "fox & friends." love you like corn flakes. >> happy birthday. >> give you a birthday kiss on the cheek. >> oh i love it. >> janice, when i think kentucky derby i truly think of you. >> i'm getting -- i'm tearing up because it truly is one of my most favorite events that i look forward to it every year. i know we are going to celebrate with our virtual kentucky derby and why are going to do it this fall. next to having my kids, i think it's one of the most amazing things i have ever done. so i will be celebrating today virtually, but i'm also looking forward when they open the doors up again and we can celebrate

the kentucky derby all together as one. jillian: absolutely. everyone, i think, echos that january miss you said there in that clip that you love the mint julep and we have chris morris here to make them for us live on tv. right, chris? >> that's right. official bourbon of the kentucky bourbon. for 20 years making mint july helps at the track. 211th year make one from our homes. yes we will be at the track virtually today. but everybody can have a little bit of a track tradition in their own homes making a mint julep. it's a very simple drink to make. also a new tradition that we have launched a few years ago at churchill downs. the wood reserve speier. three ingredients in them so easy. start with the mint julep. of course you start with one of those classic julep cups but use any type of glassware. you are going to add sugar. sugar is the sweetener. i think you should use some

powder sugar because it melts so easily. sugar the julep according to your taste. don't make it too sweet. make it just the way you want it. then you will melt the sugar with a little spring water a little water. and muddle those together in the bottom of the cup. and then you add mint. and mint again is one those ingredients that you have to take care with. it's very powerful. make the mint julep according to your taste. i take a mint leaf just one and rub it on the inside of the cup releasing oils and aroma really do a good job bringing that mint character forward. then we will add some ice and used crushed ice. not cubed ice. crushed ice. jillian: we're running out of time here. >> and then you add the official bore bon of churchill downs would the ford reserve. count to 2. 1,000, 2. and that's okay. put in your mint garnish and more crushed ice. jillian: and away we go. cheers to that.

>> that's all there is to it. jillian: we are out of time. thank you all very much. we are going to be watching today. love you all. janice, love your hat. >> i love you. jillian: we'll be back. more "fox & friends" still ahead. at philadelphia, we know what makes the perfect schmear of cream cheese. the recipe we invented over 145 years ago and me...the world's best, and possibly only, schmelier. philadelphia. schmear perfection. many of life's moments in thare being put on hold. are staying at home, 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. and for even greater peace of mind, all carvana cars come with a seven-day return policy.

...that blinks first. [chanting respect our rights] jillian: we have a fox news alert. protesters hitting the street coast to coast demanding governors to lift lockdown orders. keep expressing their first amendment rights. >> in this country you have a first amendment right to protest but you must protest within the bounds of the law. pete: patriots on the streets while some states are easing restrictions, others are cracking down. the new mexico governor shutting down all roads into the city of gallop. violators could be arrested. president trump says he hopes to see more states lifting

restrictions. i like the states opening. they will open safely and quickly i hope. we are to get our country back. jason: despite nationwide outrage over lockdown. several states expanding restrictions and extending stay-at-home orders into the month of may jillian and pete i'm glad to be here on this virtual couch with you. i'm telling you there are people who are growing in their frustrations and they want to get out and enjoy the beach. they want to go to the national park and these things are closed and it's driving people nuts i have got to tell you, people are got to take on personal responsibility to conquer this virus. jillian: they do jason. pete, i want to get your take on this too. i was talking to someone the other day. he had a good idea and also heard it on fox a couple nights ago. he said, look, in states where where restrictions are slowly starting to lift or haven't gotten there just yet. why can't you open more stores

where you have the ability to do takeout services, shush side cue pickup book stores get more people back to work. >> you can and you should. a lot of governors love power and they love control. they have a lot of fear based decision-making going on right now. when you look across the country. people are ready to get back at it. they want to be out and about. you look at these protests and they have been across the country. they are simply saying respect me enough, trust me enough that i will take the risk measurement myself to understand what i feel comfortable with. we have learned a lot more about this virus. we know who it effects why know how it spreads and certainly not when you are outside being responsible going to the beach or in a smaller business opening up. we have the doing this show virtually. we are not on a couch together. hopefully soon we will be. a lot of people, tons of people don't live in new york city or the tri-state area where the epicenter has been and don't

have that latitude think are starting to say enough is enough. the president's approval rating up 6% in the last two weeks according to gallup. people see he has been a steady hand giving guidelines from the federal government. at the state level you still have governors not getting the memo that their states are big with different places and so you see these protests we laid it out. even more protests planned for today across the country i have gotten texts and tweets from people my state is not on there make sure you include it next time. even more than we have been showing right there on the map, guys given the guidance it say look at california the beaches are shutting down just orange county, when the cases there don't justify that seems like retribution. people don't like that. jillian: also the president has also come down look i don't necessarily agree with some places opening this early i

believe he said different salons and tattoo parlors. jason: yeah. there is still -- these states. some of them are extending their restrictions. some of these states are saying we are not going to be opening until june. and it's getting hot outside. scientists are telling us that going outside with social distancing is actually a good thing and then you actually have the attorney general barr who has put out a warning really to the states and said: hey, look, you are going too far. and the department of justice is going to look at this. listen to attorney general barr. >> now that the curve has been flattened, the rate of spread has been slowed, our system has not been overwhelmed and time to adjust to the situation. it's time to start rolling back some of these restrictions. we are on the lookout for restrictions that are too widespread, too generalized.

and are unduly discriminatory toward liberties such as religious liberty or speech. and the appropriate case we would consider taking action. pete: i think they will. it's great to seat attorney general being forward-leaning, looking for these cases. we have been talking about protesters. let's hear from a few of them. here's what they are feeling on the front line. you talk about a tattoo parlor something like that. that's still an essential business or job to the people who work there. jillian: i'm saying what the president said. pete: i'm not coming at you. the general overall sense is every job person who has it and business who isn't open. here is part of what the protesters have been saying. >> my business is closed. we're shut down. no money coming in. this is crazy. >> we want the state of indiana open now. we don't want a phased in approach. we want the governor to stop picking winners and losers we are being prohibited from working and we need to get back to work as soon as possible. we should have never closed businesses.

i actually work in the school system so i don't get to go back to work. that's unacceptable we love our freedom constitution and bill of rights. allege virus or pandemic does that the take that away. jis jays you still have constitutional rights out there. i'm not saying you open up everything all at once in every county there is some difficult situations earlier on "fox & friends" we had senator braun the senator out of indiana, listen to what he had to say about states moving forward. >> if we keep going down the pathway of what we have been on, tamp the disease down, you risk permanent demand in supply disruption we are on that cusp if you don't start doing what you see governors mostly doing we will have issues much larger to contend with bankruptcies and a whole cascade of things that's

why i am glad to see most governors sense blib are reopening county by county. indy and metro counties are different than the other counties in our state i think our governor made the right move. jillian: every state is different. every county is going to be different. pennsylvania specifically i know my family lives there. that's where i'm from, the northwest part of the state is already into the yellow phase where the southern part of the state philadelphia and surrounding areas bigger city in pennsylvania still in the red. every state is going to be different. it's not going to look the same across the entire state. pete: very much. so western new york. upstate new york. southern illinois vs. chicago. eastern oregon vs. portland. like you said in pennsylvania these governors need to realize they run big states, too. there is only so much -- you have already seen it. the trust is over and the frustration is boiling over. and we will see more of these protests until these governors get the memo. we are free people in this country still at least today.

jason: well, there is other news that we should also talk about which has to do with joe biden. there are new allegations out there. we had good segments, good discussions about the lack of media interest and curiosity out there. now you have the "new york times" editorial board come in dnforward asking for investigation. i will tell you as a pessimist having served in congress 8 and a half years chairman of the oversight committee, what joe biden failed to do is call upon the ethics committee way it's structured in the senate ethics committee. those records into the be joe biden's records. joe biden asked for joe biden's records to be released. he should also ask that the senate ethics committee investigate and see if there was a complaint by tara reade. interestingly enough the co-chair of that are chris coons

the democrat from delaware and james langford the republican from oklahoma. if he is going to be thorough and complete in his senate records, they should also call upon the senate ethics committee to look at their records. pete: yeah, you know, guys, if joe biden has lost the "new york times" editorial board, he has some serious problems. here is the headline from the "new york times." investigate tara reade's allegations. remember they worked weeks to not cover this story. now they have to. here's a quote from that article. mr. biden's word is insufficient to dispel the cloud. the democrat national committee should move to investigate the matter swiftly and thoroughly with the full cooperation of biden campaign. jillian, it's pretty tough for joe biden to have both sides of the me too movement. he said certain things about believing the essence of what women had to say in 2018. now he is face ago claim. we can't know who is telling the truth. we can't. that's what's frustrating about moments like this absent evidence. if you are going to have one standard i think it be important

that it followed in this case as well. jillian: there are still a lot of questions he came out yesterday and did that interview on morning joe. i do think mika pressed him pretty hard. she did a good job with that a lot of questions specifically surrounding records at the university of delaware which i think a lot of people aren't going to let go. pete: he said they are at the national archives except this morning we learned that the national archives said they wouldn't be here and they are not here he said he won't open up university of delaware. some reports biden staffers were up there. who know what is they were looking for and if they were found if they are still there jason raises the ethics committee issue. that's where can you press for answers so it isn't fair. jillian: absolutely we will have more with senator marsha blackburn. go ahead, jason. jason: i was going to say we have marsha blackburn coming up at 8:30 eastern time. she plays a key role. she she has been very vocal on these issues. she is coming up on "fox &

friends" soon. jillian: we look forward to that. pete: she is a republican. -- turning to headlines. starting with a fox news alert. a police officer died and second is fighting for his life after a helicopter crash in texas. >> the houston pd chopper went down in apartment complex overnight. both officers had to be cut, god help them, from the wreckage. the fallen officer's name has not been released he leaves behind a wife and two children. not clear what caused the crash. kim jong un the dictator in north korea appearing in public for the first time in three weeks if you believe north korean state media. releasing new video claiming to show him visiting a factory near pentagon. rumors have been swirling about the dictator's health for weeks after he missed the celebration founder april 15th. pump did not comment on the appearance. u.s. air force 52 bombers and

jets soaring above hospitals in baton rouge and new orleans thanking those on the covid-19 front lines. a panel on one of the b-52 bombers fell off mid flight landing on private property. no one is hurt. the air force cleaned up the area. oops? still an amazing gesture. a mega church is leading an effort to reopen houses of worship. crossroads church in texas is kicking off reopen church sunday tomorrow campaign edge courages faith leaders to safely open church doors with some form of in person services. anyone with health issues or concerns can stay home and watch online those are your headlines. that's an important point. as we reopen, people who don't want to be a part of that continue to have the choice to not go out and to shelter themselves, which is, again, goes back to common sense and personal responsibility. jillian: we still have a lot more coming up on this program including the university of arizona unveiling one of the largest anti body testing efforts in the country with

250,000 front line workers tested with the plan of expanding it to students and staff. president of the university got tested himself and joins us with an update next. - hey, can i... - safe drivers save 40%!!! guys! guys! safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers save 40%. it is, that's safe drivers save 40%. - he's right there. - it's him! safe drivers do save 40%. click or call for a quote today.

♪ pete: welcome back. the university of arizona unveiling a massive antibody testing effort. the tests are already being used on 3,000 front line workers and expanded to 250,000 front line workers and eventually students and staff. here with an update is the president of the university of arizona robert robbins. robert, thank you so much for being here. appreciate it. talk to us about the effort that is ongoing at your university and how it's helping at this moment. >> well, good morning,.

pete: pete good morning. >> thanks for inviting me. i decided back in mid martha we would -- we were on spring break at the time. we decided to go all digital format for teaching and learning and it encouraged our students not to come back to campus. and immediately knew that we were going to need to test. you know, our belief is we need to test, trace and then treat patients. meaning that we need to isolate them. so, we began work to develop test kits because we knew there were going to be a shortage and i didn't know we generally have 8 to 9,000 students in our own campus, residential housing units. i didn't know how many of those would actually come back. it turns out only about 5 or 600 of the 8 to 9,000 came back. now, we have 45,000 students and i knew we needed to test and so,

we began to mobilize our immunologist, our virallist and basic scientists to develop our own kits. we started manufacturing our own test kits because we didn't want to have to depend on being at the end of the supply chain. simultaneously i knew it was going to be important to develop an antibody test. so we began work on an continue at this body test. i'm happy to report we began that testing this week i even had my blood drawn. i'm eagerly awaiting hopefully finding out today whether i'm positive or negative. pete: you have made a big conviction to the fight at large. but as people are thinking about school, thinking about next year. dolls this make you confident that at least at the university of arizona you could come back on campus in the fall with these antibody test? >> pete, we have made the announcement we intend to come back in the fall. we began begin in late august,

early september. so the issue for us is that we want to take it very seriously. we are going to test, test, test. then we are going to trace, trace, trace. and then we will isolate and treat. so we are calling it the three ts to differentiate themselves. some have began to call university of arizona test u we developed this test and we intend to test every one of our 45,000 students, our 15,000 faculty and staff. we are also, thanks to governor ducey who found out about what we were doing, governor ducey asked if we could expand this out of our lab at the university of arizona to test all front line healthcare workers and first providers across the entire state of arizona that's what we are doing. i truthfully would like to see all of arizonans, 7.3 million people tested.

we are doing our part. we are encouraging all other universities who have medical schools. there is so many incredible people in those types of universities that i think we can help lead the way. but we're going to need to partner with our hospitals and our private companies. pete: mr. president, it's a great example of states as laboratories. research universities work with the governors to accelerate the process of opening back up. thank you so much for joining us this morning. we appreciate it? >> you are welcome. pete: up next, some members of the so-called squad joining the call to cancel rent #during the pandemic. is that really the best response? we'll debate it next. erything. that's ebates. i get cash back on electronics, travel, clothes.

you're talking about ebates. i can't stop talking about rakuten. pretty good deal - peter sfx [blender] ebates is now rakuten, sign up today.

jason: some quick headlines, air b and b returning money during the pandemic. pay back guests who cancel reservations through june 15th. to get the refund. your stay had to be booked by march 14th. you also need proof you can't travel like a stay-at-home order or flight cancellation. and tesla shares taking a $13 billion plunge after ceo elon musk says the stock prices are too high in a tweet. shares went unjust days before musk's tweet after the company reported a strong quarter. musk has gotten in trouble for tweeting about tesla's stock in the past. he has agreed to allow lawyers to review public statements before releasing them. obviously that plan is not

working. jillian, it didn't work and it cost him $13 billion over to you, jillian. jillian: alexandria ocasio-cortez lending her voice as so-called squad joins calls to cancel rent during the pandemic. >> right now at a time when so many people are -- lives are threatened by a pandemic, their lives shouldn't also be threatened by the fear of eviction, by the fear of foreclosure or worse. jillian: is this the answer? right response? fox news contributor. republican strategist erin elmore. seeing you for a second time this morning. welcome back. >> thank you. jillian: good to see you. richard, what do you think about this. >> good to see you. jillian: it's fair a lookout of people can't pay their rent or mortgage at the first of the month right now. a lot of people do need help. what do you think is the answer? >> well, this will be the second month that we have gone since

the coronavirus folk have had to pay rent. this creates a real problem for a lot of renters all across the country. let me be very clear. this also creates a problem for alan lords across the country. renters are dealing with not being able to pay rent. land lords are dealing with the reality of not being able to make mortgages, not being able to make remayor pairs. which is why we have to figure out some way to provide some relief to the american people who are worried, who are anxious about whether or not they are going to be able to pay may's rent and june's rent. we have to figure out a way to do this and do it the right way. jillian: thinking about this i was a homeowner the last 14 years up until february of this year i sold my house. i had tenants in there for a long time. i was sitting there thinking if they came to me and said i can't pay my rent this month. ultimately that falls back on me and then i have to be the one to deal with trying to call my mortgage company, see if they can help me. so the brunt of this is going somewhere. it is falling on someone's shoulders. >> right. i don't think aoc realizes that

we're not dealing with big banks here. we're dealing with landlords. and they need to pay their bills and they need to feed their families. i couldn't agree with mr. fowler more which probably doesn't happen that often although i like him very much. aoc although she is environmentalist. i think she believes that money grows on trees. everyone has obligations right now. look, we have 30.3 million americans out of work in the last six weeks. there is a tragedy going on here. there is a crisis in america. and her ideas don't seem to have any solutions and are not grounded in reality in any way whatsoever. jillian: richard, we like you, too. you have an op-ed -- just to make that clear, have you an op-ed on foxnews.com right now it says that th stimulus will hp millennials the most, why do you think that? >> what that op-ed is talks about why we as a consider should consider the idea of forgiving student loan debt up to a certain amount. here's what we know. we know for the average student loan borrower makes about

$48,000 a year. we also know that they spend about 10% of their monthly income dealing with student loan payment to the united states federal government in a federally supplied federally backed loan. we are really thinking about priming this economy, the trick we have seen from the great depression to the great recession is you have got to make the middle and lower parts of the economy work. and they have got to roar. those folks to to-to-have liquidity. forgiving $10,000 of student loan debt or less for these students for these folks adults part of our society. who work in our restaurants. who work in our local bars. who work at our local retailers. thee need some relief. giving them this 10% back would create automatic liquidity into the economy and allow them to gout and make purchases, take care of their family and possibly pay their rent. jillian: erin, final word to you? >> i think we do a deferral. we can't cancel because where is that money going to come from? if you made the obligation to pay something. you owe that money and that's just the american way. defer it for six months.

i'm totally okay with that unfair to the people who already paid for their college. when you spend money, you got to pay it back. jillian: go ahead, richard, real quick. 10 seconds. >> what we are seeing with the pay check protection loans if companies are actually paying workers, their loans are forgiven by the federal government. why not extend that same benefit to the american people and the millions of them that have student loan debt. this is about pumping our economy. this is a democrat and republican problem. it's a an american problem. student loan crisis is real. we can solve it slowly by doing just this one measure. jillian: well, a lot of things are real right now for a lot of people. we have some millions of people out of jobs right now. we are all just trying to find answers at the same time. richard and erin, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it? >> thank you. >> good to be here. jillian: next next up next guest slamming the media for too little joe biden. that wasn't the case for brett kavanaugh. marsha blackburn is here next.

hi, i'm bob harper,

and i recently had a heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke,

and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. wayfair has way more ways to renovate your home, from inspiration to installation. like way more vanities perfect for you. nice. way more unique fixtures and tiles. pairing. ♪ nice. way more top brands in sinks and faucets. way more ways to rule your renovation. nice! on any budget, with free shipping. wayfair. way more than furniture.

♪ >> we're here to show our respect for all women who have a case, have it respected, due process, to investigate. >> there's a lot of excitement around the idea that women will be heard and be listened to. >> it took great courage for her to come forward. >> there was never any record. and that nobody ever came forward. >> instead of asking questions,

the republican leadership hears the truth. >> there is also due process. and the fact that joe biden is joe biden. pete: nancy then and nancy now. house speaker nancy pelosi defending joe biden he's denies his sexual assault allegation but it was a different tune for justice brett kavanaugh. jason: and in a new fox news op-ed senator marsha blackburn calls out the media for the same double standard. senator blackburn joins us now. i had the honor and privilege of serving with her. >> yes, indo. jason: in the house of representing. now she is sitting on the very powerful senate judiciary committee and you saw up close and personal what happened to justice kavanaugh. >> yes, indeed i did. and what we are just fascinated with right now is the double standard. and, jason, i will tell you so many wayman that have reached out to me this week are talking

about fairness. and they see a lack of fairness in this issue around tara reade. and they feel as if the me too movement has actually served a purpose to make it easier for their daughters and granddaughter to say something wrong was done to me but then they see the democrat using me too when it's convenient and dismissing it when it is not convenient. and i will tell you, listening to joe biden's interview yesterday, i said we should call this the prepful defense. he was on every side and contradicting himself and twisting himself in knots as he gave that interview yesterday. pete: can't say it enough without double standards the left probably wouldn't have any standards. >> you are right. pete: not just the political left. buddies in the media taking a very different approach at this moment. take a watch he was incredibly

defiant no. gray area. this is black and white. this simply did not happen. >> called for full transparency on the record. that's what needed to happen. that's what didn't happen. let's be clear, in the kavanaugh hearing. >> the right is running a smear campaign against joe biden. >> so, it's just a smear campaign against joe biden. senator. >> marcia, this is a very serious issue. sexual assault. shower. is a very serious issue. and should be treated as such. it should not be something that is used as a political football or as a term of convenience to suit the purposes of the democrats. they are determined to take down donald trump. they do not want anything to happen to joe biden. they are so determined to take down president trump that they are actually going dismiss someone who has corroborating evidence. she talked to people.

her mother called larry king. and we will get to the bottom of this. i think that truth will come out. we know that vice president biden has had a history of touching people and kissing and making them uncomfortable. and even the "new york times" had to go back in and alter an article that they had put up online dealing with some of his known behaviors. this is serious. tara reade deserves to be heard just like other women deserve to be heard. this needs to be reviewed and joe biden needs to come forward and just tell the truth. jillian: senator. let's talk about this for a second here because as you know dealing with the coronavirus has become a bit partisan. you could say that the senate is returning to work on monday. what do you see happening this week? >> well, we'r what we're going o is move forward on some of the work that needs to be done.

we can walk and chew gum at the same time you if you will. there are judicial appointments. there are nominations for the administration that need to be looked at. we're going to have an armed services hearing. and we're going to be work online privacy. and jillian, one of the things that has come forward through covid-19 is the lack of online privacy and the lack of individuals. you and i individually being able to control what i call our virtual you. deciding if we want to opt in to share information or not. requiring companies to inform us when they are data mining. and reviewing information from us. and this health privacy, which in the physical space is controlled by hip parks we are going t chairman wicker at

commerce committee and a couple of others of us have legislation that is being introduced next week to deal with that we are also going to be turning our attention to holding china accountable for what they have done. whether it is moving forward with having china waive the interest payments on their debt, something i have supported. moving manufacturing back to u.s. soil. and senator mendez and i have the sam c bill moves pharmaceutical manufacturing back to the u.s. senator sullivan and others have other pieces of legislation that will move manufacturing back. senator mcsally and rep gooden and i have the stop covid act that will put into the hands of u.s. citizens the ability to sue the chinese communist party for

their role in this pandemic. and we'll give those individuals that have lost lives and lively hoods the ability to go into u.s. courts. so, all of that is on the agenda for this week. jason: senator, thank you so much for joining us. it's good to see you. >> sure. jason: i applaud the senate for being in session. the house is not going to be in session. >> you are right about that. jason: jillian. thank you, senator. jillian: thank you very much, senator. have a good day. let's talk about your headlines right now. an update on the story we have been following for months. doomsday mom lori vallow won't be getting out of jail any time soon. i'd do who he judge lowering a request to lower her-million-dollar bond. judge also rejecting lawyer's claim the prosecution was recording their conversations. vallow is facing several charges over the disappearance of her two children. they have not been seen since september. a park ranger gets shoved into the water while trying to

>> right. jason: this is disgusting. explain to us the problem from your perspective. >> the problem is that we do not care and have proper strategies to deal with the homeless. the homeless that you see in the subways and on the streets of new york are by and large mentally ill. they used, to when i was an intern, when i was at bellevue hospital, when we would see homeless people, we would treat them for their medical problems and then send them to either he a view for admission to a mental -- a state mental hospital or to camp laguardia. there was a place 60 miles out of new york that mayor laguardia had worked on for homeless males to go and spend a thousand of them at a time could spend time in the country. right now what the coronavirus spotlight has done is shown not a new problem but a chronic

problem. and there are spaces in the subways, people aren't there there. so instead of lying in the streets. they are lying in the empty subway cars. and they are a danger to the public and a danger to themselves. jason: and here we are right in the middle of this crisis. it's the essential workers that are having to take the subway with all the people on the subways. mta put out a statement. let me read part of it to you. it should not have taken a global pandemic for the city to do a job the mta has called on it to do for years. the mayor should get out of his car, into the subways so he can see what is really going on and solve the problem of his own making. what's your reaction to that? >> well, the reaction is absolutely necessary to keep the subways clean now and in the future for all the bugs that can be distributed in the subway in

closed setting. it's also essential to deal with the homeless themselves. what do you do when you take them out of the subway? there should be -- maybe we should reopen up some of these state institutions, state hospital institutions where homeless people were treated and kept in a medical type setting and provide better care now than they used to give to the homeless people in the institutions in the 1950s and 60's when they were closed up. we should reopen them, have people under care. jason: well, i have got to tell you i feel for the people of new york city because they have one of the worst mayors in the country in mayor de blasio. i don't think he understands the problem with his own mta. dr. michael baden thank you for joining us today. we do appreciate it? >> thank you, jason. jason: all right. still ahead. our next guest is known for his incredible renovations.

and this morning while many of us are stuck at home, chip wade is showing us how to transform our backyards just in time for summer. he joins us live after the break.

- 58 million latinos live in the united states. if we all participate in the 2020 census, we can ensure fair funding for our schools, libraries, hospitals,

and other public services. the census is safe, it's confidential, and our community is counting on us to do our part. we know who we are and how vibrant our community is. let's make sure our nation knows it too. for more information, say "census 2020" into your x1 voice remote, and to participate, go to census.gov. jillian: good saturday morning welcome back. you know him from hit tv shows like elbow room. chip wade thousand transform our backyard into a summertime oasis as many remain on lockdown. pete: chip joins us live from his own backyard in atlanta. chip, thanks for being on the program. really appreciate it. help us out here. we all need help. you are the pro. what should would he be doing here? >> well, i am in my backyard this morninthis morning wearingt

sleeves inspire everybody that spring is coming. projects we can all do from our home. inspiration for making staying at home a little bit better. start out with a couple of tools that i found that are awesome. i love battery powered tools now more than ever they make sense. think about not having to go to the gas station at all for your lawn equipment. this is awesome. this is a 25-inch mower from green works. it's 60 volts. look at this thing though it holds two batteries which gives us really long run time like 100 minutes that correlates up to half an acre of grass. and it's so easy. so quiet. listen to this thing. running. self-pro-pelt. bagging options. coolest part that i think is it is so light but look how it folds up. jillian: oh, wow. >> in two seconds right in the edge of the garage. everybody needs this type of storage two played operation. really really high quality.

jason: hey, chip. >> can you get it at lowe's for 500. jason: i want a grill in my backyard and have you tips for grilling. >> we do. i love to grill. one thing that can you do to grill more than ever, not just on saturdays like today, is get you an inexpensive chest freezer. one of these from the storms, like $150. when you go to the grocery store that one time every three weeks or whenever we have to do it, fill it up with all the meats you want to grill and then do it any time. i got this awesome one from monument grills. also grab this one at lowe's as well. look at this, the searing station on the side. love to put the steaks over here and move it directly over here onto the grill. you hear that sizzle. so amazing. scrambled eggs and and steak and potatoes saturday morning. grills have come a long way smoking tray in here. really really awesome. makes every day feel more like the weekend. jillian: speaking of lights.

tell us of landscape lighting. i'm a big fan of the a the ambi. >> in my backyard gone overboard. landscape lighting is one of the easiest projects dyier can do. electricity scares a lot of people. low voltage landscape lighting is for everybody. it's simple in form. comes with a couple of parts. called a transformer. all you need to know this is a box that plugs into the wall outside. run wiring for different types of lights like floods that actually shine up like a tree canopy you are seeing. spots that give you a little bit more architect can you recall detail on some of your custom plantings. even have options like this that go underwater. so i have a creek in my backyard. i can put a light under the water and shine it up and turns to magic. pick all this up at kitchen ler.com. cost effective and anyone can install it. pete: chip, we have to skip to the last one though because i know your kids are involved. dyi drainpipe slide. tell us about this. >> oh my gosh.

absolutely. actually can you see it right here behind me. this is a dyi project i did. this is a hobbit door but it's actually a slide. look at this. i'm going to have my kids come on through. they love to do. this they spend hours out here all the time just coming through. what i did is took a drainage pipe, good morning, guys. >> good morning. >> i took a drain image pipe hey, buddy. i covered it up with dirt and rocks and plants. it looks whimsical and fun but actually is drainage for the you were patio down to the bottom. so there is things like this that we can get creative with. and i have a lot of plans for other dyi projects up on foxandfriends.com for you guys. we have a cool garr dan bench. always doing cool things out here and can you do it at your house, too. jillian: two things number one your kids are adorable. number two party at your house when this is all over because your yard is awesome. pete: light goals that will never be achieved. chip, thank you very much. great tips for everybody. jason: coming up.

sourcing and distributing more fresh food than anyone... our drivers helping grocers restock their shelves. how we're helping restaurants open pop-up markets. and encouraging all americans to take out to give back. adversity came to town. so we looked it in the eye. and it won't be us... that blinks first. overnight they became our offices, schools and playgrounds. all those places out there, are now in here. that's why we're still offering fast, free two day shipping on thousands of items. even the big stuff. and doing everything it takes to ensure your safety. so you can make your home everything you need it to be. wayfair. way more than furniture. and i recently had a heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor.

after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

president trump: every american was asked to make sacrifices to help defeat the virus. not long ago, models predicted that between 1.5 million and 2.2 million people would have died in the united states without the mitigation through our aggressive response and the remarkable commitment bravery of american people, we have saved thousands and thousands of lives. pete: good morning and welcome to the final hour of this saturday edition of fox & friends that was president trump , praising the sacrifices of americans as the country battles covid-19. >> jason: his remarks come as

thousands of protesters hit the streets coast to coast demanding governors ease lockdown orders. >> we don't want to face an approach, we juan the governor to stop picking winners and losers. >> there's no justification. >> we want a freedom, civil rights and restored 100%. jillian: more protests are planned for today over stay-at-home restrictions across the nation. good saturday morning to you i'm jillian mele alongside pete hegseth and jason chaffetz. good to see you guys. pete: great to be here with you as always, and you know there's a ton of news today. we've been covering these protests and they don't get as much coverage or overwhelmingly negative coverage elsewhere when you have people in states across the country not just red states or blue states but states across our nation saying hey, my job is essential too. my business is what keeps me a float. trust me as a citizen to use my personal responsibility. we're going to see more of this guys and we have a map of protests scheduled for today as well. this is growing and i think hopefully governors rads tuned

to it. jason what are you hearing out west? >> jason: we don't lose all of our civil liberties. we don't ignore the constitution of the united states because of a pandemic. i think america has actually been fairly responsive and responsible but at the end of the day, they need to take on some personal responsibility but it is boiling over, because people want their jobs back, they want to be able to go to work, they want to be able to do the things they do. they know they need to socially distance and wash their hands but some of these governors are taking it to the extreme and holding people back. some governors are saying they aren't even going to open up things until june. that's a little extreme. jillian: let's talk about china here for a second guys because the investigation into how coronavirus got started that is still going on. here is an an excerpt from the daily telegraph report and this reads, "it states that to the endangerment of other countries the chinese government covered up news of the virus by silencing or disappearing doctors who spoke out destroying

evidence of it in laboratories and refusing to provide live samples to international scientists who are working on a vaccine." pete what do you say about this? pete: so this is a report that five eyes is an intelligence-sharing alliance between the u.s. , the uk, australia, new zealand and canada. countries that are friendly that trust each other so they share intelligence. these countries have coming together and put together a different sort of dossier that details precisely why china covered it up, how responsible they've been what they did both in a negligent way and a blatant way that led to covid-19 becoming a global problem. this leaked in an australian newspaper. australia is in china's sphere and they are already starting to feel the blowback. china won't take this laying down and neither should we. this is the kind of evidence we need to present and jason hopefully something like this echoes a lot on capitol hill. i know a lot of republicans have talked about holding china accountable but where are the democrats? where are them, they're pointing their frustration at the

president, or somewhere else rather than the source, which is now verified through intelligence agencies. >> jason: well this is what happens when the democrats are in control, and the intelligence committee isn't working on intelligence, they're just working on the trump derangement syndrome but earlier today, we had a very important influential freshman senator from indiana, senator braun. listen to his comments he made this morning on fox & friends. >> this goes back to the whole discussion of what is our relationship vis-a-vis china. this is an indication of what you're dealing with when you've got the public, when you've got state capitalist, information is not free. it's not transparent. be honest. tell us what happened, show the world that you're going to be a little different going forward because to me, china is going to pay the biggest price from what's happened with the coronavirus because it's on top of bad behavior as being a world economic power to boot.

pete: senator is right but as you know, china will never tell the truth. they will never be honest. the own us is on us to hold the communist chinese accountable and release our dependence on their debt and manufacturing certainly creating an opportunity for that. the president has been focused on that. we've seen his approval rating go up 6% in the last two weeks he's talked about china being responsible hopefully we go on the offensive there. jillian: look everyone should want answers because we want to know how we can stop this from happening again and in the meantime while we wait and search for those answers guys a breakthrough here in fight against coronavirus. president trump announcing the newly-approved by the fda drug remdesivir. you know, this is a big deal. this is a big deal you talk to a lot of doctors and they say we're on the right track because if you look at the facts of this as we know them right now anyway this is through a placebo -controlled test, patients who took remdesivir had a 31% faster recovery time than those who didn't and patients who took remdesivir usually recovered after 11 days that's

four days faster than those who didn't take the drug. let's take a listen to the president. president trump: i'm pleased to announce that gilead now has an eua from the fda for remdesivir, an important treatment for hospitalized coronavirus patients. it's really a very promising situation. we've been doing work with the teams at the fda,nih and gilead for spearheading this public/private partnership to make this happen very quickly jillian: so jason what the fda approved so far is the allowance of the emergency use of this drug. >> jason: yes and i've got to tell you hats off to donald trump because i have never seen the fda move at the speed they're moving but i also give credit to the president to bringing in the private sector. i think they understand the president understands that all these solutions aren't going to come from government. we got to leverage the tools and the authorization if you will to get these things approved

through the fda but it's going to be these private companies and their researchers that are coming up with these solutions. pete: yeah, our pharmaceutical industry takes a lot of heat in this country, but without the dynamic free market options of testing and trying, you don't get these types of solutions and you don't get them this quickly and dr. birx, she's never seen this kind of speed before, before the recognizing the need for something like this , working with that private company to ramp it up. it's great to see and gives a lot of people a lot of hope. jillian: absolutely joe biden is calling on the senate secretary to locate records from a former staffer accusing him of sexual assault. pete: top democrats rushing to defend the presidential nominee garrett tenney joins us live with more as another woman comes forward with allegations. garrett good morning. reporter: well good morning, you all. joe biden is city mying he sexually assaulted his former staffer back in 1993 and calling for any and all documents to be tracked down and made public. but it's not clear where those documents might be and who

has control over them. on friday, the national archive said any records of senate personnel complaints from 1993 would have refined under the control of the senate. so, biden is now asking the secretary of the senate to locate any records that might deal with the allegations from 27 years ago, writing, i request that you take or direct whatever steps are necessary to establish the location of the records of this office and once they have been located to direct a search for the alleged complaint and to make public the results of this search. but even before that happens, top democrats are rushing to biden's defense including former attorney general eric holder. >> i mean it's interesting that the people who are trying to fan this thing are the very people who support donald trump and of course who say nothing about the allegations that have been raised credibly against trump for a number of women over a great long period of time. i've known joe biden for 25 years. what has been described is

inconsistent with the person who i've come to know and who i've worked with. reporter: this all comes as another woman is accusing joe biden of sexual harassment. ava murray whose the niece of former republican senate candidate christine o'donnell claims in 2008 biden commented on the size of her breasts at a political event and she was 14 at the time. there are questions over whether biden was even at this particular event though given that public statement at the times said he was recovering from sinus surgery when that event happened, but o'donnell confirmed murray's story to fox news saying she was right there when it happened. we have reached out to the biden campaign and of course we'll keep you updated if we hear back from them. back to you all. >> jason: thanks, garrett so you have nancy pelosi and now eric holder saying well joe biden is joe biden is of course we should let it go. i've got to tell you having read that document from joe biden several times i think he has done some worth-smithing there because what he's authorized and asked the senate to do is to

look at the records of his office. that is a limited in-scope. if you want to be explicit and you want to get to the bottom of it there needs to be an explicit authorization from joe biden to release documents within the senate ethics committee. those are not his documents. those are the senate ethics documents, and he wordsmithed that and he needs to clarify that in order to get to the bottom of this. pete: yeah it feels like the document side will continue whether it's the health ices committee or the university of delaware. it's just frustrating you don't know if joe biden is telling the truth, you can't really know all you want is a consistent standard and the frustrating part is that there's a massive double standard going on here compared to how say justice kavanaugh was treated. we had senator marsha blackburn on the program earlier and asked her and here is what she said. >> so many women that is reached out to me this week are talking about fairness and they see a lack of fairness in this

issue around tara reade, and they feel as if the me too movement has actually served a purpose to make it easier for their daughters and granddaughters to say something wrong was done to me but then they see the democrats using me too when it's convenient and dismissing it when it is not convenient. pete: story far from over, guys the campaign still have many months ahead and we'll see where it goes. we have a few additional headlines as well starting with a fox news alert. a police officer has died after a helicopter crash overnight in texas. moments ago a procession carrying his body leaving the hospital in houston. a second officer is still inside the hospital fighting for his life, and we pray for him. the police helicopter went down in an apartment complex both officers had to be cut from the wreckage and the fallen officer's name has not been released and he leaves behind a wife and two children. still no word on a cause.

>> joe pantalino recovering from a severe head injury after getting hit by a car, his wife said the star was walking with family in their connecticut neighborhood when their cart- boned a porsche sending it across the road and the impact sent him backwards into a fence and he was rushed to a hospital but he's back at home expected to be okay. >> and beautiful weather is coming to new york city this weekend, but mayor bill deblasio has a warning, a scolding for people going outside. >> the nice weather is very much a threat to us. go out for a little bit but don't go out for too much, don't gather, don't try and do the things we'd normally do on a beautiful spring day. pete: like me when the new york post put me on the cover walking through the park. the mayor says police will have a no tolerance policy for large gatherings. people could be ticketed or arrested temperatures are expected to be in the 70s all weekend and those are your headlines guys listen new york city has been hit hard. people have been doing their

part. it's hard to hear whether is out you can't go out. i don't know how that is. jillian: i'm curious to see what people will do the first full weekend of really nice weather and since this has been going on so we'll see. all right, still ahead -- >> jason: well the science says if you go outside that's one of the best things you can possibly do and the mayor hasn't led by example i can tell you because he's been going to the gym and doing things that oh, you know everybody else is. pete: taking a car to a park to take a walk. >> jason: because he's got to make tough decisions. jillian: all right guys still ahead, stocks slumped at the end of the week as the nation enters the transition month of may, to return to some kind of normalcy. white house economic advisor on what to expect moving forward, that's next.

pete: welcome back well the

stock market taking a hit as big tech and oil companies warn covid-19 is taking a toll on their businesses but national economic council director larry kudlow has hoped for next year. >> we're going to take another bad hit in the second quarter because of the national shutdown because of the virus. the other hand, the congressional budget office and private forecasters seem to agree with president trump that the second half economy is going to show very significant growth going into 2021. pete: so what can we expect as more states reopen throughout this transition month, joining us to discuss white house economic advisor kevin hassett. kevin thanks for being with us i really appreciate it. give us the white house perspective on the month of may. what is your hope when the month is out, where do you hope we'll be? >> well, i think what we're sef may, almost every state will be mostly open economically. right now, there's a heck of a lot of gradual opening going on,

even some states are starting with safe distancing and so on to follow our guidelines, and open even restaurants safely so i expect what's going to happen is we're going to gain more and more experience about how to run our economy safely. at the same time, you know, our access to testing is going to go way up and our access to medical supplies so that we don't have to worry about hitting capacity should people get sick will go up and we're going to monitor the situation closely but make no mistake about it that it's really really good news that we've been able to open up as soon as we have and to do so according to the guidelines that dr. birx and dr. fauci have set out because that means that the sort of harm from stopping the economy is reduced significantly by getting it going sooner. pete: well it's great news everyone wants to be back out and open again. what indicators are you looking at most closely either health or economic as you gauge how powerful the return is? >> you know, everybody in the white house gets daily

updates on what's going on with the disease in every state we even have it at the county level and we're also getting data on claims for unemployment insurance and next friday, we'll get a jobs report which will be the first glimpse of sort of how bad the shutdown has hurt things so we're watching everything we can get our hands-on and we have access to credit card data so we can get a realtime glimpse at what's going on and the places that are open as opposed to the places that are closed but make no mistake about it what's going to happen is that we're going to minimize the harm by opening now as much as we can but you'll see economic data over the next few months that's as bad as you've ever seen. we turn the economy completely off which is something that just hasn't ever happened before, and so you are going to see a very big increase in the unemployment rate, very big decline as larry kudlow mentioned in second quarter gdp but most forecasters expect the second half can re bound from that and the sooner we get going, the more likely it is that that'll be true. pete: kevin you mentioned credit card debt a lot of people are

sitting on that, businesses have been helped by the ppp, funding their payrolls but waiting and to see what happens next, there's already talk possibly on capitol hill of a fourth stimulus bill, democrats pointing towards state, republicans saying hey let's not bail out the miss call in responsibility of states through a coronavirus bill. if more comes from washington, what should it look like? >> right well the president has said that he categorically rejects the idea of a bailout for states that the have been irresponsible for a long time but to the extent that the costs of covid on states blue and red, on all of them, are high enough that maybe they need financial support that he's willing to negotiate about that should there be a phase iv deal. i think right now because there's been good news really that the opening up is starting to happen faster than we expected, then there is a chance that we won't really need a phase iv and so i think that what the president has told us is that update them every day on

the status of everything and to be in a wait and see mode and at the same time what we're doing is we're developing plans for whatever occurs so if it gets worse we've got a plan for that. pete: we have to leave it there. kevin hassett thank you so much for your time we appreciate it. >> thank you. pete: still ahead president trump honoring our next guest for helping frontline workers the ceo of tunnel to towers frank siller tells us about his white house visit and how you can help us, next. we live in uncertain times. however, there is one thing you can be certain of. the men and women of the united states postal service. we're here to deliver cards and packages from loved ones and also deliver the peace of mind of knowing that essentials like prescriptions are on their way. every day, all across america, we deliver for you. and we always will.

the country. the city officials letting them know that they care about them. jillian? jillian: absolutely beautiful love seeing that thanks, jason. well our next guest has devoted his life to honoring our nations heros and yesterday, he was honored by president trump for his foundation's work to fight coronavirus. take a look. president trump: as the virus began to spread in new york earlier this year frank lep t into action. he helped raise money to deliver more than 1 million pieces of personal protective equipment. frank and his army of volunteers have delivered food to fire houses and phone stations and police stations. we have a lot of people that are very thankful. jillian: the ceo of tunnel to tower foundation frank siller joins us live. good morning good to see you. >> good morning. jillian: you do so much for so many people. tell me what that moment was like for you. >> it was remarkable. it's beyond words. i was very proud of our foundation and the work that

we've been doing and it is recognized as the presidential level and president trump was so informed about everything that we were doing. i got to speak to him, an opportunity before we went in and receive this award, and he said frank, you know, keep up the good work, because he knows we build houses for service members mortgage-free, and he knew we delivered mortgage-free homes to gold star families and we pay off the mortgages to police officers and firefighters who died in the line of duty that have children left behind and they knew all these things and he said i can't believe you're doing all this stuff because of the coronavirus, and he was just so gracious and very grateful for the fact that we were doing this work. jillian: so what are you doing right now, frank? you've raised a lot of money in a short period of time. >> we're just over $5 million now and we've been able to deliver over 1 million personal protective equipment and that's gowns and face shields and n-95

masks and we just got this unbelievable delivery of disinfectant and backpacks and going by houses and ambulances and police stations, so we've really been working hard so we're proud but we have a lot of great supporters. listen we had connell mcgregor last month, he donated $1 million but again this year, i mean, this month, he heard what we were doing with the coronavirus and he donated another 100,000 so anyone who wants to go out and buy a nice shirt, a one for all shirt, 100% of the proceeds come to us. his partner has been fantastic and we count on, so we count on that, people make those big donations and we count on the goodness of america like i

said yesterday that so $11 a month and tunnel to towers.org and donate $11 a month. we're able to help so many people because we have a lot more work to do. jillian: the work never ends and you and your siblings started this company honoring your brother, and his legacy lives on and it is helping and touching so many people, all across this country. >> yeah one of his daughters texted me last night and said uncle frank we have a lot more work to do. let us do good. she ended that way because we're always about that phrase, and st. francis where he said brothers and sisters while we have time and while we're here let us do good and the work we're doing is good work and it's so necessary and it's real and the viewers should know that over $0.93 of every dollar goes to these programs, these things that we do. i don't get paid. my siblings don't get paid. we're volunteers. i have an army of volunteers like the president said we have volunteers that go around and deliver this food. we deliver food to i think like 25 fire houses or police

stations or hospitals every day jillian: certainly a strong labor of love, frank siller, thank you so much for everything you're doing and congrats on the honor yesterday. thanks for joining us. tunnels2towers.org. jillian: coming up, trying to get michael flynn to lie but remember when a number of democrats and the media smeared him before knowing all of the facts? that story is next. ♪ it's velveeta shells & cheese versus the other guys. ♪ clearly, velveeta melts creamier.

>> the white house got a blistering review for their made -up claims that flynn was somehow trapped by the fbi. let me tell you within the intelligence community the thought was michael flynn may have been a turned agent to russian intelligence. >> flynn was a double agent? >> michael flynn was betraying his country. >> flynn lied again and again and again to fbi agents. just lied. pete: now we have new information. we're going to bring in brian dean, former cia operative and democratic voter into the program to react to that. they're seeing or they should be singing a different tune now that unsealed documents showed fbi agents discussed trying to get him to lie. that's how they were talking about it. do you anticipate there will be any turnabout, anything as the facts come out? >> you know if only facts

mattered, then perhaps yes but unfortunately that's not the case. we're in an election year and so many people have gone bonkers with this trump derangement syndrome and it's real so no i don't think my party will change its tune sadly but i think they should and i think we now have established if a deep state is real. i mean you could think about the step back for a moment. the fbi is supposed to be prosecuting crimes that have or are likely to occur, they have to be of a reasonable belief and in this case, that the just not the truth. we know that the fbi shutdown this counter intelligence investigation against general flynn, there was nothing there and yet they proceeded. that in and of itself is horrific but add-on to the fact that we've got this act of justification, they are going to try to catch him not to actually prosecute him for a crime but we now know tried to get him fired, not the job of the fbi and so that for me and most people watching this program is the horrifying part is we have these unelected bureaucrats who

decided they take out a member of the trump adminitration. but really think about the horrifying part here, that general flynn wasn't the only person, that the fbi that james comey targeted here, we now know that james comey was doing the same thing trying to get trump fired. right? so he included that steele dossier and in early january of 2017, briefed it to a whole bunch of folks in washington with the idea that it would create this firestorm against the president. comey then leaked classified information to the new york times to force the appointment of robert mueller. combine all of those two things or three things now we have with of course general flynn, we have with trump, and we have this very clear case of james comey and a whole bunch of other folks on the senior level of the fbi trying to get people fired not because the facts warranted or there was a law called for it but because their

own personal partisan agenda. and that for me what do you think if anything should happen to james comey then what's your opinion on that? >> well i think ag barr is doing exactly what he should which is collecting the facts and if they can prove that case and prosecute people like the james comeys and i think a guy like john brennan, they will try to find whatever the most extreme form of punishment is they can't throw out these guys. my preference i'd love to see the death penalty and boy oh , boy if i could flip the switch myself i'd do it because these men are traders. they absolutely assaulted not just the trump adminitration but your vote, my vote, and anybody who went to the ballot box in 2016 irrespective of who we voted for , they decided that they were going to choose the nation's political winners and losers. that's what offends me and i think outrages most people watching this program. so let's let the facts show what

happens and let barr and durham and others, you know, confirm that, right? >> jason: well, brian i think what concerns a lot of people and it surprises me that the democrats used to try to champion these types of things and ignored it because it is donald trump they seem to somehow justify it but trey gowdy on the story last night made a really good point. how they treated hillary clinton was totally separate, totally different, but what was the underlying predicate that they had and that's what durham has got to get to. that's what attorney general barr is going to get to because they were not justified going in there doing what they did to flynn, what they did to the president and i think it's going to reach further unfortunately, beyond the fbi to some of these intelligence agency, perhaps, brennan and clapper are two of the names that i think are also out there on that list but at some point, they're going to have to be a reckoning as to what was the underlying

predicate. and were they doing? >> listen john brennan said to a crowded hollywood, it's on the record, he promised that donald trump would not be in the white house at the end of 2018. not because the facts warranted but because he believed that it would happen. that statement and all of the statements of comey sag saying he was taking advantage of the young administration, they clearly had a personal partisan agenda which the department of justice and inspector general confirmed at least in the case of james comey , we have an established pattern here. barr and durham have one hell of a job to do to prove it and i hope that if the information is there, and we prosecute these men they are thrown away for a very very long time because what happens is it incentivizes other people in the fbi and the cia to do this again and again and again, because what's to stop them? there has been no prosecution

otherwise. that's what we have to stop. pete: a lot of people, well they're looking for a moment of accountability in light of all of the evidence and bill barr and durham have an opportunity to deliver that, brian dean wright, thank you so much for your time appreciate it >> you bet. jillian: let's take a look at your headlines. kim jong-un appearing in public for the first time in nearly three weeks. north korean state media releasing new video overnight claiming to show him visiting a factory. rumors have been swirling about the dictator's health for weeks after he missed a celebration for the country's founder on april 15. president trump did not comment on the appearance. >> kroger is heading down on how much meat customers can buy to help avoid a possible shortage. the limits will apply to pork and ground beef at certain stores and more than 20 meat packing plants nationwide have closed due to covid-19. kroger says there's still plenty of protein in the supply chain. >> happy birthday princess charlotte. she turns 5 today, kensington

palace sharing photos showing the princess delivering food to people in need during the pandemic. those are cute photos and a look at your headlines, cute. >> jason: you know, jillian that pete really wanted to do that story again about the princess but we'll make sure the next time -- pete: charlotte when will you invite me for tea? you know? >> jason: we've got rick richmuth with weather is it heat ing up finally as spring is turning warm for us now, rick? rick: yeah it's coming a little bit. it actually went straight to summer across parts of the southwest, for this last week and things looking a little bit better across the north east the first really great weekend we've seen take a look at the maps show you what's going on. the heat that was in areas of the southwest now moving into parts of west texas you'll see that orange popping up already temps up into the 80s so the heat definitely on right there, one thing we're going to see a little bit of a transition right now in our severe weather so we've had all kinds of severe

weather across areas of the southeast over the last really say month or so, and now typically, tornado activity moves in parts of the high plains, that is tornado allie and that is may, this is tornado season we might start to see activity there but overall heading into a bit of a quieter pattern over the next couple of days except one little stretch of showers we'll see right around parts of the tennessee valley areas of kentucky in towards tennessee that's our strike zone for rain this week, but things are looking really pretty good. all right, guys back to you. pete: rick we went from one of the worst shots in television to one of the best. from the hostage situation to a holy back drop you can't beat it rick: thank you. jillian: it's pretty. >> jason: just keep moving over a little bit. jillian: [laughter] rick: much better. pete: and a growling dog. love it. thanks, rick. pete: coming up, multiple high risk sex offenders let out of

jail over covid-19 concerns, and one of them already re-arrested our next guest is the da in one of california's counties who says these are dangerous predators who should not be allowed to walk free.

>> jason: seven high risk sex offenders release released from a california jail early amid the pandemic. one of them already reassure rested this week for exposing himself to a parole officer. our next guest warns these are not the kind of people who should be getting a break. orange county district attorney todd spitser joinses now. thank you so much for joining us what in the world is going on in california? >> well i don't think it's just in california and i don't think it's just in orange county. i mean, orange county is the sixth largest county in the united states of america

with 3.3 million people, but this is a rouse pulled on the american public on jails and cuts elon musk quality facilit ies all over the nation. we've all been told that during the pandemic we needed to release people early with less than 30 days on their sentence and things like that because of the underlying health pandemic, and the fact that we needed to exercise social distancing within the custodial facilities, however, as you know in the united states today there is a social justice agenda to end bail for those who are incarcerated and this has gone too far. in other words in orange county our jails now are down by 45% in terms of their capacity. our sheriff has indicated he has no overcrowding problem at all so why do our magistrates in this case, one court commissioner continue to release people early? in this case you had seven convicted predator sex offenders who had gone to state prison in california for a hard core serious sex offenses, and they were cutting off their gps

devices or failing to charge them. we had two individuals like this in orange county before, who went out and murdered four women after they cutoff their gps devices. sex offenders number one aren't able to be rehabilitated and number two if you cutoff your gps device you don't want your parole agent to know where you are if you aren't charging your gps device you don't want your parole agent or the community to know where you are. it's dangerous. pete: yeah, look, when i was in congress, i worked on criminal justice reform but the idea was any violent sex offender or violent crimes is not who should ever be let out and some of the crimes are child molestation, sexual battery, lewd conduct and these people are going out and reoffending more than 4,500 people in california that are supposed to be in cars incarcerated have been released. >> well you even introduced the topic with the fact that one of these convicted sex offenders when you went to the parole

agents office he flashed himself now i mean are you kidding me? please. this guy wants to get reassure rested but these are serious individuals. when i was indiana the california state legislature , you can access a database from the computer. i also created the sex offender management board so these are very dangerous people and in california when you cutoff your gps divisor you tamper with it, you're required to do 180 days minimum in the local jail so we can get your attention, and in this -- >> jason: well, mr. district attorney -- >> not an elected job. this commissioner took it upon his own to release these seven individuals back into the community so its outraged our community and our police agency. >> jason: and alameda county we had on last weekend having the same problem. california has gone off the rails this is fundamentally

not right. we reached out to the orange county court commissioner' office for comment and of course we never heard back, but we want to thank you, todd spitser orange county district attorney dealing with a very difficult situation. thank you, sir. thank you. >> thank you. >> jason: especially to the officers on the frontline. still ahead tesla ceo elon musk blasting california's governor demanding he give people their freedom back. this as his company reports higher-than-expected earnings. kurt the cyberguy joins us on that and tesla's new 2020 model y, you'll want to see it. when you shop with wayfair,

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.

pete: welcome back. well tesla and spacex ceo elon

musk blasting california's lockdown order during this company's earnings call. he said to say that they cannot leave their house and they will be arrested if they do, this is not democratic, this is not freedom. give people their freedom. >> despite the criticism, governor gavin newsom is defend ing his stay-at-home order >> people can disagree and we've been guided by science, data, facts, not on the ground here in the state of california across this country but guided by the prevalence of this disease around the rest of the world. jillian: the back and forth comes as tesla reports higher-than-expected first quarter profit bringing in 5.9 billion in revenue. for more on that and the new 2020 tesla, kurt the cyberguy, curt good to see you this morning. >> jillian good to see you guys it is interesting to see what is at the center of the attention of elon musk, and his bizarre tirade online and on his investor call that started wednesday, where he came out

with that comment, and then he also, since then, has made remarks such as he's selling all his worldly possessions and also he said things like hey i think our stock price is too high resulting in it dropping 12% on friday. this , on the heels of the stock popping because so much promise at tesla, especially with their earnings coming out at $5.99 billion in the last quarter, not bad, and this car right here is what people have their eye on not just in the industry but consumers, as we're sitting at home and automakers are struggling to find auto sales, tesla can't make these, and the pre-orders are through the roof. this is the tesla model y. why there's so much hype to this electric car is that it's more affordable and its got that crossover suv style that they all want right now and 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. you're looking inside the car,

it is completely controlled you'll notice there's no dashboard. there's instead of a 15-inch display that you control the entire vehicle with just like all of the other teslas this one is a lot taller than the model 3 it's based on and at a sticker price of roughly $53,000 it's a gorgeous car and look at all of the cargo space you have with this one. the fact is though, freemont, california is where they make this , but nobody is making these cars. only a few were able to get off the production line before california shut it completely down. gorgeous car, you want to buy it you can't because elon musk is furious that he's unable to deliver these at a moment when he actually could sell them, and i want to thank our friend, who has a toro rental page he was one of the lucky owners who got one of these who decided and let us see it this morning and really, just truly a gorgeous car when you see it in person and the price tag, a lot more affordable than other teslas.

pete: curt when we hear elon musk talking about freedom and he's been tweeting a lot about it very outspoken about what the government is doing there it's probably in part principle but another part a business issue he can't get the cars out he wants to sell to folks. >> he wants to get back to work like a lot of people and he cannot deliver on sales when you can't make cars, and he's out of inventory of this car. this is the biggest promise for tesla in terms of their entire line of vehicles ever, because of its affordability and because of the demand for cross over suv's it is through the roof. but nobody can get them. pete: except for kurt the cyberguy. thank you for joining us this morning we appreciate you. nice shot of your driveway as well. thank you. more fox & friends just moments away. since 1926, nationwide has been on your side. we've been there in person, during trying times. today, being on your side means staying home... "nationwide office of customer advocacy."

...but we can still support you and the heroes who are with you. we're giving refunds on auto insurance premiums, assisting customers with financial hardships, and our foundation is contributing millions of dollars to charities helping with covid-19 relief. keeping our promise to be on your side.

pete: tomorrow night, 7:00-9:00 p.m. president trump joins our own bret baier for america together, returning to work two hour special, don't miss it.

jillian: absolutely that is going to be great and once again as always a huge thank you to all of our frontline workers out there. the work you continue to do. jason: thank you, thank you, to everybody and neil cavuto and cavuto live is up next. neil: and so the states continue , the capacity-by-capacity it is not exactly the way we were but closer to the way we want to be welcome, everybody i'm neil cavuto you're watching cavuto live, and dozens of states begin to take cautious measures to reopen, and what that's meaning in restaurants is that in cases they are open at about half capacity when it comes to texas eventually a quarter capacity, and they see how that goes and then look to capacity and the same when it comes down the road to salon, barber shops, tatoo parlors, all the rest that will phase in depending upon where you are. it's all partf
