brett larson, thank you, take care, brady. well, thanks for joining us everybody. we get this week going, i'm dana perino. don't forget story time at 3:30 p.m. eastern today. then i will see when "the five" where we were get up to some shenanigans for you. >> bill: dana, thank you, fox news alert, i am bill hemmer, monday afternoon, senators getting back to work as more and more states push to reopen. today marks the first major session in 40 days. they just turn the camera onto the senate floor. the next battle as the battle over the next round of virus relief money, it's getting hot. were expecting senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, chuck schumer to speak shortly. we'll bring that you live when it begins. first, phil keating in florida, it missed the state ready to get its economy up and running again. john roberts has the view from the north line from today. first, chad pergram begins or are on the hill. chad. >> good afternoon, bill, with the senators meeting, this is the first time the senate has

been in session in earnest distance they passed the third coronavirus bill on the 25th of march. they're not going to do anything quite that big today, but there's a lot of apprehension from senators as they back to the capital because the cases of coronavirus continue to rise in the washington, d.c., region. here is democratic maryland chris van hollen. >> i am very worried about all the capital staff and putting their health and lives at risk. a lot of them are my constituents. >> one vote on the docket today, the confirmation of robert vital to serve as the inspector general for the nuclear regulatory commission, that's at 5:30 p.m. a lot of senators will hit-and-run, only coming to the capital for that vote and then immediately leaving. work on actual legislation is weeks away. republicans like john barrasso of wyoming are worried about who's responsible in the coronavirus aftermath. >> what republicans aren't talking about however, his liability reform to try to give

some protection to our health care workers, or small businesses that are trying to open to get the economy going again so they don't have to live in fear of lawsuits. >> now the first big hearing since early march will happen tomorrow. this is the confirmation hearing for john ratcliffe, republican representative from texas to be the director of national intelligence. there were also be a hearing later in the week on how coronavirus has hit the airline industry. the house of representatives is not in session this week. but there will be some activity, i'm told in the past half hour so that democrats in the house think they're getting closer to putting together their bill. care is his that's called to respond to coronavirus. they've burned through about 56% of that $310 billion which was approved a couple of weeks ago. and tomorrow, house speaker nancy pelosi will swear in yc and food bank, the representative from all tomorrow. he won a special election last week to succeed at elijah cummings who died. there also is concerned here about coronavirus kind of

seeping through capitol hill. nancy pelosi and the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell put out a rare joint statement over the weekend rejecting quick testing here on capitol hill. for members and staff. that something that kevin mccarthy, the minority leader, he would like to see that rapid testing, he says we need to maintain continuity of government. bill, back to you. >> bill: amazing how quickly the money goes. thank you so much, chad, chad pergram on the hill. president trump sitting down for a virtual town hall with fox news last night. he says some states are not opening fast enough. but also warned the virus could kill as many as 100,000 americans. our team coverage continues. john roberts on the north lawn again, today, john beginning a new week. good afternoon. >> good afternoon to you, bill. there's a reporting that the white house is pushing back fairly hard on a new interagency assessment from fema that projects that within the next month, the deaths per day in the united states from coronavirus will rise to 3,000 and the number of new infections could be as high as 200,000 per day,

currently, where it about 25,000 per day, and the first reporting of this new assessment, it was said that these productions had come from the centers for disease control. fox news is told that those numbers are not official cdc numbers. they actually came from johns hopkins. fox news also told that the data does not take into account continued mitigation during a reopening. in a statement the white house saying "this is not a white house document, nor has it been presented to the coronavirus task force were gone through interagency vetting. this data is not reflective of any of the modeling done by the task force or data that the task force has analyzed. the presidents face guidelines to open up america, again, or a scientific driven approach, and the top health and infectious disease experts in the federal government agreed with. the latest forecast from the centers for disease control protects that the total of number of death will rise to 100,000 or above. they take various models, what you see on the left, and average them out to get an ensemble forecast, kind of like the

national hurricane center does with the storm track, this one with disease. that's why the president is now saying that as many as 100,000 people could succumb to the coronavirus before we finally get a break here. a lot of talk in congress from capitol hill is the senate comes back about a face for a stimulus package, and what that could look like. democrats want a lot of money for the states to deal with first responders and other things. senator mitch mcconnell and the president are saying that they don't want to give a whole lot of money to states to bail them out of problems that have been decades in the making. what the president wants is a huge investment in infrastructure and some tax breaks as well. including for employees, a payroll tax cut. here's what he said in our town hall last night. >> president trump: i want to see a payroll tax cut on both sides, a very strong one, because that's going to really put people to work. and i told steve, just today, we're not doing anything unless were getting payroll tax cut, that is so important to business class asked of our country. >> not a lot of appetite for a

payroll tax cut in congress, particularly among democrats. >> dana: thank you, john roberts from the north lawn. we promise mitch mcconnell now on the floor of the senate, let's drop in. >> health care workers, grocery store workers, truck drivers, and many other americans continue to carefully show up for work, and it is essential that their u.s. senators carefully show up ourselves. and support them. i want to thank the dedicated men and women who've worked hard to develop solutions so the senate can take these careful steps back toward emperors and operations. dr. brian monahan, and the entire office for the attending physician. while done. everyone in the offices of the architect of the capital started at arms, secretary of the senate, and our colleagues on the rules committee, and their staff. of course, the teams that support our networks and telecommunications, we are

working hard day and night during these weeks of remote work. even more broadly, mr. president, i want to recognize and thank all, all the essential senate staff who are here with, in person so the senate can function. whether they be staff members in our own offices, and committee offices, all the nonpartisan professionals who serve the institution itself. >> bill: nice moment there, wanted to share that with you, not easy stuff is the senate goes back to work, we will take you throughout the hour with headlines. in the meantime, from florida, that state starting the process of reopening that state's economy. phil keating reports live outside of harriet's restaurant in key largo. phil. >> delicious breakfast and lunch are, incidentally, bill. floridians up-and-down the state prove vividly all weekend long, they are more than ready to get the state back open and back to

normal, but realistically, we are still a ways away from fully reopening. but, phase one began in the state today, this morning, and that means a lot of things, including most restaurants can now start having in-person dining, but with limits. hearing harriet's in key largo, it's only been take-out for six weeks. but today, customers are again allowed to eat inside, sit down, and enjoy breakfast and lunch. >> you get kind of tired of takeout food every day. and they do have the best breakfast in town, so it's a no-brainer, coming here. >> most estate parks also back open today, as well as most beaches, this is a live look at clearwater beach. swimming, suntanning, and exercise, as well as a serve is allowed again, but with social distancing being enforced. florida phase one restaurants and retail can both resume in-person business, but only a 25% of capacity. elective surgeries can resume. social distancing restrictions remain in effect. and masks continued to be

encouraged. still closed in florida are schools, bars, gyms, spas, and salons. still no visitors at nursing homes and assisted living facilities. the governor says reopening will be slow, steady, and smart. >> it's not going to happen overnight, but i'm confident that we can get there. everyone, just hang in there and do your part. >> one major exception for florida's phase one are the three most populous counties in the state, with half of the states coronavirus cases and deaths. that's miami-dade, broward, and palm beach counties. everything, the shutdown stays the same, meaning beaches, retail, and restaurants still not back open. and since south florida marine is reopened on wednesday, this weekend was jam-packed with boaters, so many that by 10:00 a.m. on saturday, some marinas, people that had been sitting in line for hours were turned away. and palm beach county yesterday, a big flotilla of protesters cruised from jupiter down to president trump mar-a-lago.

some called it a trump taylor. all a clear indication that after six weeks of this lock up and shut down, up-and-down estate, people are really starting to itch to get things back open and back to normal. as for when florida with then began a phase two, well, no timetable set on that. but the governor has indicated it's not going to happen days from now. it will be weeks likely. >> enjoy the food, fell, like going on imported. nice to see you. phil keating in key largo. president trump says he's confident we will have a vaccine by the end of this year. we will talk to a doctor about that possibility next. plus, another hurdle as joe biden tries to clear his name. what we're hearing today from the senate about a potential complaint from his accuser. and, homeland security is now accusing china of a cover-up. so then, what next with beijing? >> there is this bigger issue that china's pond the virus, and they had the virus for about six weeks, which allow that virus to

escape wuhan and in fact the world. i've got some terrific news for veteran homeowners from newday usa. interest rates have dropped to record lows. newday usa makes it so easy to refinance

here's one small way you can help them in return. complete your 2020 census today. census data helps communities plan funding for hospitals and emergency services. respond now at 2020census.gov. senator mcconnell a moment ago, years chuck schumer now for the senate. >> must deliver the people of our country relief. we have come together on several occasions to pass historical legislation in this time of crisis they passed 96-0 which

shows that this body can come together in a time of crisis. which should give americans of some help and a some solace. but let me be very clear. our work is far from over. the republican leader has called the senate back into session, despite the fact that the district of columbia appears to be reaching the peak phase of this public health emergency. despite the risks to be fazed by gathering in the capital, despite the risks faced by security guards, cafeteria workers, janitors, and the staff, who operate the floor of the senate. >> bill: this debate continues now. chuck schumer with his turn at the microphone. wanted to share that with you as well. watching for headlines. in the meantime, from last night there was this on fox. >> president trump: i think were going to have a vaccine by the end of the year. the doctors will say you shouldn't say that. i will say what i think. i've met with the heads of these

big companies, great companies. i think were going to have a vaccine much sooner rather than later. b to one of the headlines from last night, president trump predicting a vaccine by the end of the year. meanwhile sco behind the company of a possible treatment, remdesivir, told cbs news that drugs are thriving in hospitals this week. once a bring in a director of the harvard global health institute, doc, nice to see you again. good afternoon to you. vaccine by the end of the year, is it possible? >> bill, thanks for having me back on. that would be great, and i think we're all going to help. i think it's going to be a long shot to get it by the end of this year. by 2021, sometime, hopefully earlier on would be great. it's really optimistic to think we can get it by january. speech i'm looking at the science, it's better than it was during the hiv fight. better than it is during even ebola three years ago. when you've got all hands on deck from all these countries around the world, why not consider the possibility of it being fast-track?

>> absolutely, remember it takes years to make vaccines in general. so anything that's like nine, 12, 18 months is super fast track. the only thing i would say is we've never built a coronavirus vaccine before. this is our first time as humanity. joy think we can do it? i do. all hands on deck. but we just have to plan for the possibility that it may take a little while, because we've never done this before. >> bill: oxford university is on this, as you know, pfizer, jonathan and john the thin. oxford set over the weekend they will know if there vaccine is effective in early june. a month away, pretty fast. >> it is. they're getting into phase two trials. look, i don't mean to be the downer on this, i am the enthusiast. i just don't want to overpromise and under deliver. it would be much better if we hope for january, but planned for june or september of 2021, and if we get surprised, it would be awesome. >> bill: will take that, it would be awesome. strong language you have about the cdc, how come, what you

think is going on there? >> i feel terrible, because as a public health person, i've always loved and admired the cdc, they have just been awol in this, the entire time, their advice has not been on time, and evidence-based. they're not giving us the data we need. i think we really need to take a hard look at what's happening at the cdc, and why are they not performing as we expect them to? >> bill: i saw some of your comments, you don't like the leadership in atlanta, that's what i take away from what you're saying. >> look, i don't know what's going on, to be perfectly honest. what i can tell as they are not performing. >> bill: the first test failed. >> yes, the first test failed, they put out recommendations that have been slow. they have not been keeping up on the data for four weeks, they took the weekend off on updating what was happening with the pandemic. you don't take weekends off in the middle of a pandemic. there been a lot of issues, and i don't understand what's going on, but we've got to get to the bottom of it. >> bill: we will see that, there's a report from

south korea says you cannot get it for a second time. you've seen that study, what you think? >> look, this is heading in the right direction. we have wanted to be sure that once you're infected and get better, we would love to make sure that you are immune and you can get reinfected. we've had a few instances of people testing positive again, more and more, the evidence is coming back, those people are not reinfected, may be picking up a fragment of the virus. hopefully, you really do get immunity after you've been infected. >> bill: let me try and tweeze one more question back here in the u.s., what is your feeling about the reopening of the economies in these governors trying? >> you know, we all want to reopen. i get the feeling, i totally am sympathetic. i think the president's guidelines for opening up america again are evidence-based and science-based. i want governors to use those guidelines, and if they meet the guidelines, i think they should open. but, not all the governors, not all the states do. some of them are going against

the president's guidelines, and that makes me really nervous. >> bill: doctor, good luck, i hope you come back in a matter of days. we, maybe even sooner. nice to see you again. one of the world hardest hit countries finally starting to reopen. back here at home, i will check in with a restaurant tenant injects us to see how the new rules are affecting business there well, see this handsome man, his name was william. and william fell in love with rose and they had a kid. his name was charles and charles met martha... isn't she pretty? yeah.

reopens. here, you can see the total cases and deaths since friday. covid-19 has killed another 68 people on the state, infected more than 3,000 others. last friday, the governor allowed some businesses, which includes restaurants to open their doors, with some restrictions. salina was the ceo of raise restaurants group in texas with pizza restaurants across the country. brandon, here in the northeast, new york, we are not allowed to go inside restaurants, we cannot sit there, you can get your food and take it away go eat it in your home or in a park. you, however, have restaurants that have dining rooms open now. how's that going? >> well, it's going great, bill. consumers are back out, they are very excited to get out of the locked down. people are absolutely going stir crazy. i have a heartfelt thanks to the pizza and pie crew and franchise partners who are doing heroic efforts to support their communities. can thank them enough. it's only coming back, i think will be more of a slow burn than

a big bang. we are super excited to be open and start the fight back from what is essentially a government mandated recession. >> bill: you had two dozen of your 200 restaurants that were open for dining room area. now, what was capacity? is it 10%, 50%? >> here in texas we are allowed to be at 25% capacity. so, our dining rooms or anywhere from 100, some are much larger, we have really big pizza buffets throughout primarily the south and southeast, all the way from texas to the coast. so it's kind of coming back slowly. but we really think it's up to consumers to decide what's right for them. i think we have vulnerable populations, but two through the restaurant workers have lost their jobs. this is really hurting the working class and the poor the hardest. we think it's time for some smarter policy. >> bill: all tell you, you were right about the american people having a vote on this. they're going to tell you when they feel comfortable or not. here are some of your rules for

your staff. you have to wear masks and gloves. temperature track for the shift, wash her hands every 30 minutes, serve pizza in a box, not on a tray. here's the rules for your restaurants, social distancing decals on the floors, plexiglass at the register, at least 6 feet between tables. drink stations close, items removed from the tables. that sound like pretty standard stuff. >> it's actually not. >> bill: when i see this, and different parts of the country, it strikes me that this is going to be more common than people realize. your feeling on that? >> i think so. i think pizza is special because it's a buffet concept which is especially challenged. but we instituted one-way traffic flow, we are giving consumers their own spatula, if not doing a true serve, it varies by county, and by location. but consumers are coming back, they're coming back to pi five, and getting a pizza made in 5 minutes. so are super excited to be back in business and this is a natural disaster. i believe it's followed by a

man-made disaster of really poor economic policy. >> bill: we've got a ways to go either way. thanks for coming in today, and good luck to you and your customers. nice to see you. carnival cruises, meanwhile, planning to take passengers before the end of the summer. details on what we are learning about that. u.s. officials saying that china lied. so it could were supplies. that story is next. for what you need!

draft proposal that gets taiwan and observe its status. it is intended to punish the organization for being too china centric. president trump said he is gearing up to make a decision real soon about whether to continue funding the w.h.o. at all. take a listen. >> president trump: the world health organization has been a disaster. everything they said was wrong and they are china centric. all they do is agree with china, whatever china wants to do. >> the state department has launched a campaign for taiwan. to gin up support writing, the world needs taiwan in this fig fight. it's time for taiwan to be hea heard. the state department and u.s. officials at the united nations are considering a whole range of options to hold the w.h.o. accountable for aiding and abetting china including the creation of a whole brand-new

global health body they would have more u.s. influence. take a listen. >> china behave like authoritarian regimes do, attempted to hide, confused. it's the kind of things that have presented us enormous crisis and enormous loss of life and tremendous economic costs. >> the director general is pushing back against the u.s. daily, critiquing america's response to the pandemic without naming names. take a listen. >> the covid-19 crisis is illustrated that even the most sophisticated health systems have struggled to cope with the pandemic. >> national security sources tell fox news that china doesn't want taiwan to have a seat at the w.h.o., because they don't consider taiwan an independent country. the trump administration is moving forward with a plan. they are now seeking support

from france, the u.k., and germany. >> bill: thank you for that. i want to bring in foreign affairs journalists. as well as the coming collapse of china. we'll come back to our program. allow to go through here on these topics that are moving in real-time. the department of homeland security department of homeland security act accusing china of concealing the severity of this. in order to hoard medical supplies. let's respond to that allegation first. >> i'm sure that was motivation because china in fact did hoard medical supplies. it restricted exports and it went into other countries and just scooped up ppe. really what we have here is an attempt, i think to hoard. you've got to remember what this means. china took steps that would inevitably lead to the deaths of other people so that he could have more medical equipment.

>> bill: do you think that is an accusation or something we can prove? >> is probably something that we can show in the sense that we can show what china in fact did. intention is quite hard unless you have signals intelligence, unless you have a spy on the inside of the chinese central government and the communist party. i think that we can show to people that the facts from which they can infer. >> bill: you can feel the temperature go up by the day. mike pompeo's interview from sunday. he said a lot on abc and moments ago, there is news from beijing responding to mike pompeo. what is state tv saying in return? >> china's central television just said that pompeo was "insane." this is a line with a number of comments that they've made about pompeo and other american officials lately. you've got to understand that we

have hit a nerve. we don't know exactly what they are trying to hide, but clearly they are trying to hide something. >> bill: there was an opinion piece in a newspaper called the global times films by china's state newspaper. they call pompeo's accusations groundless and present your so-called evidence. in this state of international affairs, how do you see this playing out between the two world superpowers? >> i think beijing is playing a very dangerous game that it can't win. what they're saying is let's have a discussion about the facts. at the same time, beijing is presentinpreventing the world hh organization, the united states cdc, and others from attempting that investigation. this is a game that china cannot win. >> bill: can we prove every whether or not there was manipulation of the virus in a

laboratory? can we get there? >> i think that's going to be hard. the reason is after the epidemic broke out, the people's liberation army sent in a major general to clean out the institute of virology. i'm sure that much of the evidence is lost. on the other hand, if one of the lab employees decides to talk to western intelligence, we very well may be able to reconstruct at least part of what's going on there. in the allegation here is that, is china running a biological weapons program? we know that they have been manipulating the rna of the coronavirus'. they published this in 2015. we've got to be concerned that what we're seeing is a continuation of that program. >> bill: how do you think that president trump is managing this relationship thus far? >> i think he is doing the one essential thing correctly, raising the issues and confronting beijing.

we've had for decades of american presidents who have been afraid in many ways of standing up to china. now we've got to do that, because whether we like it or not, china has declared us to be a public enemy an enemy of the people, and it's working to undermine the united states in ways which are extremely dangerous. president trump has called them out on it. it is important that we do that. >> bill: house he handling this inside beijing? >> that is really hard to tell. i think he is handling it poorly, because he is challenging the united states, and he's doing it in ways which are aggravating and not only president trump, but everybody else in the u.s. that is a game that is very hard for him, because china depends on the united states for its economy, forced technology, for money, all sorts of things. those are going to get cut off. >> bill: nice to have you back today. thank you for coming on today.

>> bill: we learned a short time ago, the secretary of the

senate says she cannot buy the wall show the release records that might include the complaint tara reid says filed against him. she also told the ap that she was afraid to mention her assault in the complaint. biden says the complaints never happen. i want to bring in our team. a former communications director with a dnc. mark is a former speechwriter for president george w. bush. the news of the moment is the secretary of the senators that that we cannot comply. if that is the case, is there a way around that? >> hopefully they can find a way to get the copy of the report. even if they get a copy of the report, it might not allege all the details of what it said. it would be nice to have a report but christine blasey ford didn't file a report and joe biden believed her.

he didn't say that her case should be investigated, he said he didn'he believed her. she couldn't remember where, when, how she got home or how she got from the incident or how she got to the party. joe biden believed her. they treated brett kavanaugh incredibly unfairly. they held him to a center that if presumption of innocence was denied, he had to prove that he was not a predator. i don't know why they think of joe biden was accused that he should be held to a different standard. >> what democrats said at the time -- he had democrats slightly in different places. what democrats had at the time was investigate cavanaugh. what are they saying right now? investigating biden. biden is saying to the senate, release the records. when the senate came out and

said they can't, biden responded immediately, let's find a way. i think that is one of the key differences. biden has been transparent. i think he was a little slow in responding personally, but once he started responding, he has been nothing but calling for transparency, whether it was sitting down for a pretty tough interview to addressing directly calling for an investigation, asking the senate to release all the records. and all while doing it in a way that is incredibly respectful to tara. >> bill: we need to see the document. i'm not sure how we get to that. here is tom. he was asked about it on abc. this is on sunday. speak to barack obama had any indication there was an issue, barack obama would not have had him as his vice president. barack obama trusted joe biden. i trust joe biden.

those investigations have been done. this is like the hillary emails. because there was nothing there. >> bill: perhaps an end, he's right. it seems as if a lot of democrats are behind biden. >> yeah, they are hypocrites. he didn't simply say that the case should be investigated. he said she should have presumption that she is telling the truth and that if somebody comes forward with a charge like this you have to presume that the basis of what they're saying is true and after she testified, he held her testimony as "courageous, incredible, and powerful. i believe her and american people believe her. she provided less evidence and that testimony than tara reid has already produced. she did have a single cooperating witness. tara has a next-door neighbor and i colleague that said that she told her contemporaneously when it happened. she told her brother. she told her mother. if any of that cooperating

evidence had existed with cavanaugh, he would not be on the supreme court. >> bill: go ahead. >> biden has been through the vetting of vice president is often times tougher than president. anyone who has been involved in a presidential campaign knows that, and there was nothing there. here's what is incredibly important. ultimately this comes down to what the american people believe just as it did with brett kavanaugh. what is happening now is that biden is saying, let's give her a fair hearing. let's let her speak. we've heard her story, now to the investigation. let's get all the information out there and the people will decide. >> bill: today the evidence isn't out there. the headline investigating allegations, americans deserve to know more more about a sexual assault allegation against the likely democratic party. they recommend a panel chosen by the dnc to look into that. how's that going to work out?

>> as a former dnc spokesperson, let me say, if the dnc were to launch an investigation, who would take it seriously? not a knock on a dnc, but in a partisan investigation isn't what it's going to take. let's let the press investigated and we will see. >> bill: will you be reporting on the dnc panel to look into this? >> they are not going to hire me to help that's for sure. i'm not one to let the democrats do -- they set a bar for brett kavanaugh and denied him the presumption of innocence. they said that he had to prove a negative. he had to prove that he was not a predator. now they want to do process and investigation and presumption of innocence for joe biden. i think the standard for brett kavanaugh was completely unfair. the people who treated him unfairly was joe biden.

>> bill: not you gentlemen come about the word from the senate. i don't know how you get that paperwork now. >> maybe she requests it. it might have to come from her. >> credit to the biden campaign for keeping the paddle on the metal on this. >> bill: we will see if we get it and if it's even there. thanks to you as well. you look like you're in your attic. >> i am. the quarantine studio. >> bill: thank you gentlemen, we will talk real soon. our office will investigate complaints about nursing home in upper manhattan linked to nearly 100 coronavirus deaths. the family say they were kept in the dark about their loved ones and patients were not able to get tested for the virus. the state listed 13 deaths linked to the facility. a local investigation said the count was closer to 100. the facility insist that it truthfully and accurately reported information to the states. these nursing centers were told that they need to take their

>> bill: the united states supreme court today convening with big changes. for the first time, justices heard arguments in a case by telephones and allow the public to listen then. i want to bring in fox news contributor. good afternoon to you and to those who say it's impossible, think again. just a few months ago, chief roberts said it won't happen and today it did. what you think? >> necessity is the mother of invention, i guess. in this case, i hope chief justice roberts realizes that not only did this guy not fall, but this is a real improvement in terms of

transparency. i can't think of any reason why the court should not live stream arguments. i'm very sympathetic to the idea that television cameras don't belong in court, and its welcome that they are not in federal court or in the supreme court. i think you encourage some lawyer antics that you might not otherwise get. as far as an audio stream, i don't see any other reason why that shouldn't be, particularly given that the court as a modern institution is really making national policy more than just deciding cases between litigants. we all have interest in it. >> bill: one of those cases are there president's financial records. we are going to theater this in a couple of weeks and they're going to make a ruling in late june or early july. four months from a national election. speak to bill, and i think that was a foregone conclusion when

they put these matters on the calendar, because they are likely to be the kinds of cases that the court typically decides at the end of the term which would ordinarily be at the end of june in the beginning of ju of july. that's a situation where president trump brought these litigations. he's not really in a position to complain that a ruling could go against him in the stretch run of the campaign, because he elected to -- >> bill: we will see how that goes. the justices may not be back in person until october. think about that. ruth bader ginsburg is 87, justice breyer is 81. there are four others that are at least 65 or older. your feeling on that. >> i am sympathetic to the judges, because i think they have a really hard job. they have a hermetic life as it is because they are scholars to the law and that is really what

they do. the break they get from that which is crucial for them is the collegial interplay that they have among themselves and they are a tight-knit group. i really do feel for them and i think that is part of their process that they will miss. >> bill: i think they would probably agree with that. does the court's change? or is it just -- >> i imagine -- there will be plenty of exchange via electronic media of their opinions as there always is. i bet you that just the way they can decide cases in a collegial way often may be trying to boil a case down to something that can have consensus. that, you could you lose a little bit of that edge. >> bill: nice to see you. not a bad idea. we can get it done that way, way. as to see you. have a great week. we are here monday through

friday 3:00 eastern time. set your dvr and never miss a report. "your world" with neil, comes out now. warren buffett had to say over the weekend. check it out. >> neil: help on the way and things are moving fast, very fast. with more states reopening, the debate shifting to how many will die. meanwhile the senate back to business and businesses are back to doing business. or trying to. macy's today scores more states this week. this says gilead sciences ceo says it's going to patients as we speak. the fda grants roped emergency approval for its own antibody test for those who need it right now. and a little more stimulus right now. mnuchin saying the administration is on board.
