[chanting] end the shutdown now. hey hey, ho ho, end the shutdown now. hey hey, ho ho. steve: meanwhile as you can see there a golf course in the massachusetts commonwealth there defying the state's stay-at-home orders by reopening, brian. brian: right. they are using golf carts. the senate is back at work. already arguing with each other. the they are not coming back to work for a week. griff jenkins live in washington with the new dispute on capitol hill. griff, friction in congress? since when? griff: shocking. brian, ainsley, steve, good morning. the first time they are back in

full session since march 25th. one thing back to normal mcconnell and schumer immediately clashing filling more judges in the administration in the safety of their return. watch. >> going to show up to work like essential workers that we are. our bosses are the american people and they are counting on us to keep on serving. >> if we are going to make these fine people coming to work in these conditions, let the senate at least conduct the nation's business and focus like a laser on covid-19. griff: on the agenda today on the first senate hearing march 12th over the nomination of john ratcliffe for the director of national intelligence will likely see fireworks after ratcliffe's staunch definition of the president during the impeachment. phase 4 relief bill no indication of agreement or timeline when that may come up. meanwhile the house remains out of session. speaker pelosi not ready to bring members back yet. but she is ready to blast the

white house for blocking task members from testifying. speak of guilty white house, the president is looking forward to his first major travel since the lockdown began. he will head to arizona, phoenix, today to tour a honey well facility making masks. we expect to hear more from the president about a coronavirus come back that's underway. he told the "new york post" today that people are starting to feel good again. we will have to wait and see, brian, ainsley, steve? ainsley: lots going on. dick durbin and chuck schumer slamming the republicans for wanting to get back to work during covid-19. they are stay saying you want to confirm all these people get government working again? what's wrong with that look at sanitation workers out there. you look at restaurant workers that are feeding our families, trying. to say you hear the story, steve, you were mentioning the lady with the golf courses she is defying the governor's orders and open up her two families' golf course she says on

march 31st my mother-in-law was one of the first people to pass away from this virus. she says i know how serious it is. this is not a hoax. my four children never got to grieve their grandmother properly. i have had to let go of 30 full time employees, 60 part time employees. five weeks since they closed our golf courses. why can't people get out there even if it's just with their family members that they have been hold up in their homes for weeks. why can't they jump on a golf cart and ride around and play some golf and get some fresh air? steve: as long as they social distance. all the experts say that's the only way react right now until there is a vaccine. you know, griff did say somebody was going to get out and about is the president for the most part. he has been and is he exhaust staat the white house.he had sh. he went down to virginia. he did the national mall thing the other night with bret and martha at the lincoln.

so today is he going to go see where they make the n-95 masks in arizona. he is also scheduled, it looks like to go to ohio and go to the military academy graduation, fingers crossed in june. he is going to go out to the black hills of south dakota over the fourth of july. still no big stadium style rallies on the agenda because at this point you just can't go out and be around a lot of people. and they learned that the hard way, brian and ainsley, down in at south point park in miami, which was within about a mile of where we were at the time of the super bowl when we did the live coverage down there. apparently last wednesday, they opened the park. and you know, people started going out, just getting around, taking a look. over the weekend, they issued 8800 verbal warnings. hey, if you are going to be in the park you've got to wear a mask. we're not kidding. nobody did. no mask.

so, essentially because, brian, they had 9,000 people in the park with no masks on sunday, they decided yesterday, we have got to close the park. brian: unbelievable. in ohio they said it's up to you to wear a mask. people in ohio smarter than the people of miami? i'm not sure. then for a month they told us don't worry about wearing a mask, it only helps you if you are sick. helps others from not getting sick you might be sick and don't know it. they have got to get their stories together. look at the aerial view of hunting beach. they actually social distanced for the most part. they that's why the mayor and everybody is suing oppressive punitive action going on from the governor. then you have a situation that says okay here is a pathway to reopening and the mayor of los angeles goes no, i don't think so, it's a little too intense to me. imagine the frustration of adults who have gone to school with, this know this good if not better than lawmakers being

nothing but being oppressive in crackdown. as far as correct me if i am wrong goes look, everybody is at risk, if you are older at risk. underlying conditions you are at risk. when you ran for re-election over and over and over again and sometimes 10 or 15 times been there 30 or 40 years. as you got up into your '70s and 80's you had to know the risk of going home and coming back is something that could jeopardize your health. you had to know there could be a 9/11 unexpected event happening from an economic collapse on down. in comes the pandemic and now you say well, it's too much of a risk for me to go. you shouldn't have run for re-election then. the sanitation workers as anxiously mentioned and other workers that are cleaning up the subways for a lot less money and glory that un. not offered rapid test like you were, all went back to work. get back to work. you have to run the country. and unless you really don't think you are worth that much. but, ainsley, take it away. we do want to know one thing who was response sin for this virus?

ainsley: can you believe what state run media is saying in china? they are calling evil for suggesting that the virus leaked from the lab. slamming president trump for inimpending virus. you hear this woman's story having to lay off all these people. she is losing all of this money. 70,000 almost have died in our country not to mention how many around the world this has affected so many people and china needs to step up to the plate and they need to take responsibility for this. steve: you know, there was an internal report was prepared by a think tank and it was released just about a month ago. what it does is it warns china of a global backlash of the likes that country has not seen since the tiananmen square standoff it reads in part: beijing faces a wave of

anti-china sentiment led by the united states in the aftermath of the pandemic and needs to be prepared in worst case scenario for armed confrontation global powers according to people familiar with the report's content who declined to be identified given the sensitivity of the matter. what's interesting. brian: unbelievable. steve: as state media in china labels mike pompeo evil because what he is saying there is enormous evidence that it leaked from a lab. yesterday, dr. fauci said that it is unlikely that the coronavirus started in a lab despite what pompeo said. then you have got the australian prime minister who overnight said it likely originated from the wildlife market but would not rule out the u.s. lab. meantime there is a new draft government report which has apparently not been. ainsley: did you mean to say

u.s. lab, steve? you said u.s. lab? steve: original nateed in the china wuhan lab. there is a draft government report. ainsley: we know it started in china. does it matter if it started in a lab or in the market? it still started in china. steve: right. it did start in china. and, you know, while the origin of the virus is uncertain at this point, what is known is that china knew what was going on, brian, and did not alert the world to the possibility that it could spread. and that is what they are super guilty of. ainsley: correct. correct. brian: and we have to get ready to take action against china. senator lindsey graham says it's a shame democrats can't get on board with this for some mysterious reason. here is what he said about an offensive legislatively. listen. >> without the chinese communist party deception that this was human-to-human transmission, you would not have 60-something thousand dead americans and

30 million people out of work. so i'm going to introduce sanctions thursday that will sanction the hell out of china until they cooperate with us to determine how the virus came about. and they close these wet markets. in is ththis is the third pandec coming from a wet market. now time to push back against china. brian: there is a plan to rip manufacturing out of that country. there is a plan to get -- for them to forgive our debt. there is a plan for us to unite against china. i get it. the question is and the president who has been quite measured but was lumped in with mike pompeo as evil by the state-run media has been measured about this. the question is when? tactically, when is the right time you? mention when the president brought up on sunday tariffs, the market dropped 250 points. now, as much as you want to be aggressive on china, you have to say is this the right time to do it? could that blow up phase one of the trade deal? and if the answer is yes, it's fine. but the ramifications on the

global economy could be titanic, which has already been rocked by the pandemic. andy not know but that does kind of rhyme, ainsley but we have other things to talk about. ainsley: that's right. let's talk about politics. we have been talking about corona and that's the top story as it should be. the election is only six months away. elizabeth warren really wants to be vice president. we remember what the democrats said when kavanaugh was on trial and accusing christine blasey ford accused him of sexual assault. same thing happening with biden and elizabeth warren is doubling down. i appreciate the report tara reade said. i saw the interview with vice president biden. the vice president's answers were credible and convince, i support vice president. i support his campaign, and i'm proud to endorse him for president. steve? steve: we don't know for sure whether or not shy would want the job you would think so because you would be a heart beat away from the presidency.

and she did run for that it's interesting, the "new york post" sat down with the president of the united states in the oval room yesterday, and the president said that joe biden owns -- owes elizabeth warren the vice presidency because she never dropped out. and with her still in the race, the president said bernie sanders would have won every state on super tuesday. and elizabeth warren splits progressive vote. and we essentially never endorsed bernie sanders who she seemed to be ideologically aligned. so, the president says that joe owes that woman right there the vice presidency. here is brit hume on talking about what he sees the landscape going forward given what has happened with joe biden and these allegations.

>> the problem here is that the democratic party and its allies in the media have, in the case of brett kavanaugh, set the standard, which is women should and must be believed. and that their say so alone, uncorroborated as particularly was true in the case of kavanaugh, must stand and be taken at face value and believed. so, that standard is one that biden can't survive by at this point. you know, i think as i say, i don't think people not vote for him on the basis of this, this is a mill stone around the neck of the party. brian: and susan. steve: going back to elizabeth warren. i was going to conclude, brian, regarding elizabeth warren, she said that joe's response to the allegations were credible and convincing as he appeared on msnbc on friday. brian: to add to that one in four democrats according to the

morning consult poll would recommend replacing biden 25% because of the tara reade allegation to see where it goes. joe biden insincere move asked the senate to release his records on this when he knows i might imagine because he has been there 120 years not responsible for releasing those records. susan page in a great point for "u.s.a. today." this allegation could pop up with trump. everyone knew what president trump was about going. in they got page 6. they knew he was a famous guy for 40 years with a tv show. joe biden is supposed to be the inverse, mr. reputable, mr. blue collar, mr. reinstall ethics to the white house, so to speak. this goes against that image, what could hurt him pretty succinctly. i'm not sure where this is going to go. fox news reporting on sunday ronan farrow is writing a story and tara reade has given an interview for it. that makes me think this is not over yet. and the biggest problem

democrats have as steve mentioned is in 2018, a year and a half ago, we are hearing that women are to be believed unless, of course, it's a woman accusing a democrat. meanwhile, carley shimkus has done a great job all morning long for two hours with rob. we need you now too. >> we begin the headlines with a fox news alert. venezuela detaining two americans among a group of mercenaries targeting disputed president nicolas maduro. police arresting the group after foiling their plot to capture the socialist leader. both americans are former u.s. special forces soldiers. maduro calling the 13 captured terrorists and says the whole thing was organized by the trump administration.

brian: one city, two states. the border between bristol virginia and bristol tennessee makes all the difference businesses remain open and those in virginia remain closed. next guest owns a restaurant in virginia he is instruments freight. he wants to make a living. he wants to open like they opened in tennessee miles away. comes as virginia's governor extends the lockdown through may 14th. it's already to june as well. joining us is the owner of burger bar in bristol, virginia joe diehl. joey, do you feel you are ready

to open now? >> oh, yeah. i have been ready probably the last week, maybe two. i want to be safe but yet we have got to open or we are not going to be here. brian: what makes you think you can open safely? >> i think our city here has one case of coronavirus and, of course, our city is split. bristol city, tennessee. it's not miles away. if you look over the shoulder that's tennessee behind me. the businesses behind me across the street are in tennessee. if tennessee is safe, i don't understand how virginia can't be because there are no more than 30 yards in between. brian: joe, you have a deli. had you to shut down and throw out out all the food you can't hold on to it. ppe loans able to extend to stay. if they were to give you the right to open now, you would give the spacing, 50% seating and be able to keep your business alive have you talked

to officials that know you better locally to try to get action against a governor who seems dug in and intent on going way left. >> mostly i have. i feel like a little guy. i don't have a lot of pull or power. i wish the governor could come down to bristol and see where we are at. we are on the other end of the state. we are not richmond or roanoke. we are a small section in southwest virginia. we are very isolated. everyone here is wearing their mask and gloves. everyone is doing what they have got to do. i definitely think this should be a regional opening. city, county, some way other than you can't paint a broad stripe of the whole state. we are not richmond. brian: joe, is your survival of your business at stake here. bring them back period of time money is there. is your utter survival at stake here? >> yes, sir. the longer we stay the more

likely we are not to reopen we lost a downtown bristol restaurant yesterday on state street. they announced yesterday they're not going to reopen. i'm pretty sure the other virginia locations close to me right here aren't either. it seems like every day there is another restaurant or small business in our city not reopening, not just businesses but just the city alone. i know they have to be taking a crunch and we want to keep our firefighters and our police officers working. if we don't have tax dollars, we can't do that. brian: seems likes you make a lot of sense. it's easy to sit in your capitol building and not walk around and see the diversity in your you city. it's easy to say shut it down. it's hard to walk around and say open up and when. you are paying the price for that sadly. hopefully this ppp money can sustain you a little bit longer. joe, thanks for your story and hopefully people in virginia will sober up soon. >> thank you, brian, for the

opportunity to get that out. brian: you got it. i'm pulling for you. so is everybody here on our staff. the head of the dnc comparing sexual assault allegations against joe biden as we go into politics to hillary clinton's email scandal. a political panel says real have any next.

adversity came to town and said, "show me what you're made of." so we showed it our people, sourcing and distributing more fresh food than anyone... we showed it our drivers helping grocers

restock their shelves. we showed it how we're donating millions of meals to those in need. we showed it how we helped thousands of restaurants convert to takeout and pop up markets. and how we're encouraging all americans to take out to give back. adversity came to town. so we looked it right in the eye. and it won't be us... ...that blinks first.

theand we want to thank times, the extraordinary people in the healthcare community, working to care for all of us. at novartis, we promise to do our part. as always, we're doing everything we can to help keep cosentyx accessible and affordable. if you have any questions at all,

call us, email us, visit us online. we're here to help support you when you need us. take care, and be well. to learn more, call one eight four four cosentyx or visit cosentyx.com ainsley: several democrats showing support against joe biden despite a sexual assault allegation against him. the dnc compares the situation to hillary clinton's email scandal. listen. >> this is like the hillary emails because there was nothing there. i'm very familiar with vice presidential vetting process. they look at everything about you. if barack obama had any indication that this -- there was an issue, barack obama would not have had him as his vice president. ainsley: our political panel is here to react. former trump campaign data chief and executive director of look ahead america matt braynard.

former clinton advisor jehmu green and republican strategist joseph pinion. thank you so much for being with us. >> good to be mere. >> good morning. ainsley: jehmu, since you are the female on the panel i will start with you, what did you think of tom perez saying there is nothing there? >> oh, that's a tough one. i have been a little disappointed by democratic leadership's response to this. i think it is absolutely important for democrats to lead by example on this issue in a way that republicans and president trump have failed to do with his 20 credible sexual assault allegations. would can do a credible investigation. we can be more transparent than biden has been. i think all of those things are

possible and this is an opportunity for us to really show that this is not an issue that is partisan. this is an issue about changing the culture of this country i look forward to democrats coming around to that ainsley. ainsley: matt, what about you. do you think this will effect him in november. >> tom perez how tone deaf and inept he is to make that kind of comparison. is he right in one way that he probably didn't anticipate in that this illustrates the comparison these are both examples of democrat presidential nominees who have been alleged committing criminal conduct and getting a pass not just from democrat leadership but also from their allies in the media. hillary clinton, you know, the fbi wanted to charge her with a crime. and there are people in prison doing what she had done. yet, she got a complete pass.

in joe biden's case, anybody alleged this would be facing calls for resignation from the democratic senators and democratic leadership. and the media would be covering it nonstop just as they did with justice kavanaugh's hearing. the hypocrisy here is really at all-time high. joseph they are in a bind. they are in strategist. >> broken audio] >> decided to impeach president trump based off a transcript they never read. cleared liberty biden over an investigation that never happened. women believe telling people like tara reade their voice does not matter. this is not a party that has engaged in actual principles a party obsessed with slogan. the slogan here we have to say what's goose good for the goose is never good for the gansd der when it comes to democrats trying to win elections.

ainsley: david axelrod and david plouffe an article they wrote in the "new york times." basically what biden needs to do to improve his digital world. they say to win you have got to get beyond the basement tapes and you have to project yourself. they say that he is spontaneous. he encounters -- his encounters with people is what helps him and his empathy would be suited best for right now because our world is hurting. jehmu, what do you think about that? do you agree he needs to step it up? >> i think most americans, ainsley, would agree that empathy is sorely missing from the white house right now, especially during this crisis. and people have a vision of what a presidency could look like with someone like joe biden and his empathy and connection of people. we need to see him out of that basement. what does his kitchen look like? what does his yard look like dismi have to say comments previously about joe biden and policing the democrat party. republicans police the

president. 20 credible sexual assault allegations that have never been held accountable for. so it's the hip say that we are seeing here is the outrage from republicans who have let this president run wild in this area. his main point attack is women. ainsley, come on. >> the media covered those. >> police democrats you police republicans. >> the media conferred those controversies in depth and wall-to-wall they put anybody who made allegation on prime time on other news networks. those were thoroughly covered and investigated. the media has slow-walked this investigation of tara reade and everything to cover it up. i mean, those -- this is a very different case. and this allegation made by her has been corroborated repeatedly. and the democrats, the leader of the party is acting like it never happened. is he acting like he is back in the 1980s hand links some woman that got out of line. it's entirely unacceptable. and it's not -- there is no comparison.

>> yeah. this is just, again, more craven partisanship from the democrats. same party that had kirsten gillibrand praising the president over the decade throw under the bus when it was time for her to run for president. the same party that thought you had people like kamala harris and elizabeth warren excoriating brett kavanaugh for a scrapbooks from his teenage years. but can't be bothered to have the fbi investigate joe biden's u.s. senate record. so, look, this is really just politics 101 doing what democrats always do. circling the wagons around bad behavior when it comes time to win elections and american people care about their needs. ainsley: if we are going to move into this time period where i'm glad we are where women are coming forward with things that have happened to them in the past, we need to be fair. we need to treat every case the same and there needs to be an investigation so we can get to the truth. because women are going to be too scared to come out if they are coming out against a

democrat unless democrats and republicans are treated fairly in my belief. jehmu, matt, and joseph thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. republicans demanding answers from the fbi about michael flynn. >> give us the documents. talk to mr. pianka. the guy who was in the room when they interviewed mike flynn. ainsley: will they get their wish? the judge is on deck. and right now, is a time for action. so, for a second time we're giving members a credit on their auto insurance. because it's the right thing to do. we're also giving payment relief options to eligible members so they can take care of things like groceries before they worry about their insurance or credit card bills. right now is the time to take care of what matters most. like we've done together, so many times before. discover all the ways we're helping members at usaa.com/coronavirus

napolitano. fox news senior judicial analyst and host of liberty files on fox nation. there he is right there. judge, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: we heard a new name that a lot of people are not familiar with joe piaka. good morning to you. we heard about bill priestap. he is the guy that we heard of at the conclusion of last week what do we want to get him to do. sounds like the fbi has a lot of explaining to do. >> it sure does the name not family to us but will soon be. joe pianka one of the fbi agents who visited general flynn on west wing office january 4th, 2017, just four days into donald trump's presidency. and who concluded at the end of his interview with general flynn had already seen a transcript between flynn and ambassador

kislyak the subject of the interview. agent pientka: it got very political. that's where we saw not the agent number three in the fbi at the time i may be miss pronouncing his last name the ones whose notes you summarized. are they right in demanding this? absolutely. i hope this goes to the senate judiciary committee. republicans will not get the first base in the house. this is raw meat for senator lindsey graham who is very concerned, i know, with fbi abuses. now, federal law prohibits the fbi from revealing documents in a criminal case that is still active. and general flynn's case is still active. so, as i suggested last week, the best thing to happen for

justice and for general flynn is for him to be exonerated meaning the justice department should renounce and denounce what its own fbi agents did. the justice department should ask judge you have van who is presiding in the general flynn case to vacate the general's guilty plea and dismiss the indictment and all these materials should be made available either to the senate judiciary committee or to whatever members of congress are able to get them. brian: so judge, as you are running through everything. did you not mention christopher wray who is thought new fbi chief. jim jordan, others president behind closed doors. very frustrated. he has been very lax. he has not been aggressive. he seems to be more siding toward comey crew than the person who appointed him. what is holding him back?

>> i believe chris wray, i have nothing against him personally. is he an experienced lawyer in the doj and private sector. part of the culture in the fbi which has existed for generations, brian, which believes that they can target political enemies and make out a crime against them if the fbi is to have new leadership. that's the president's choice. i don't know that he wants to do it now six months before election. i understand the drum beat against director wray. i share the view of many of those calling for his resignation. the problem is the culture in the fbi. the idea the fbi agents have that they can get away with so much. they have never had to have their records open to the public scrutiny, the likes of which jim jordan and hopefully senator graham will eventually put them. to say what happens to wray is really up to the president. i think he is going to wait until after november.

ainsley: keep in mind none of this would have come to light if hillary would have won. according to axios says is he not happy with wray or they are hearing that he is not. he would like to replace him. unlikely as you said to replace him before the election. in the meantime, he will just defer to barr. we will continue to follow that sidney powell who is the lawyer for michael flynn she retweeted a tweet that said fire wray. many people are saying that but we will have to see. thank you, judge. >> all the best, guys. ainsley: to you, too. can you catch his show liberty file on foxnews.com. sign up now and get your first month for 99 cents. thank you judge napolitano. carley, over to you. carley: a lot of parents are going to want to hear this. doctors are sounding the alarm about a rare condition possibly linked to covid-19 in kids. cow psaki disease causes the blood vessels to become inflamed. systems include a fever lasting longer than five days. redness in the ice. rashes, and swollen glands in

steve: as the state of new jersey takes small stepping to reopen, car dealerships in the state are pleading with governor murphy to let them open their showrooms to reservations, essentially by appointment only. joining us right now is the president of the new jersey coalition of automotive retailers, jim appleton. jim, good morning to you. i know right now business is down 70% to 80% statewide. you say and you are losing something like $4.5 million a day. you say if governor murphy, who i know watches this show, if governor murphy would change his restrictions right now and allow you to open up your showrooms to reservation or appointment only, you think you might get 40 or 50% of your revenue back, right?

explain the story. >> sure. i mean, let me start by saying i think the governor and his team, health commissioner and state police superintendent callahan have done an extraordinary job keeping us informed and keeping us safe here in new jersey. and i give the governor a lot of credit for swiftly and decisively moving when the crisis hit in mid march in a cautious and deliberate way to manage this shutdown. but, right now we're at an inflection point. businesses and communities are struggling. and we need to act just as quickly and decisively to reopen with all the appropriate safeguards of those businesses that can help restart the economy, put people back to work and generate that much needed revenue for the state of new jersey. those are businesses like car dealerships. actually, the revenue loss of $4.5 million a day is not to the dealerships. that's actually to the state of

new jersey. the state of new jersey is losing $4.5 million per day on lost sales tax rev news and motor vehicle fees. steve: sure. >> we have offered up detailed protocol reopening the dealership show rooms by appointment that we can get back at least half of that business at this point in time. steve: that's awesome. so, and the important thing is, you know, it's not like it's a crazy idea. currently delaware and also connect cut, which are part of the multi-state consortium are doing it that way. maybe governor murphy who is watching right now will open up the car dealerships of new jersey. jim appleton, we thank you very much for joining us live. good luck to you. all right. we'll be right back. working to care for all of us. at novartis, we promise to do our part. as always, we're doing everything we can to help keep cosentyx accessible and affordable. if you have any questions at all,

call us, email us, visit us online. we're here to help support you when you need us. take care, and be well. to learn more, call one eight four four cosentyx or visit cosentyx.com i often see them have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely. they are both very much hand in hand. so you should really be focusing on both and definitely at the same time. the new sensodyne sensitivity & gum gives us the dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. by brushing with sensodyne sensitivity & gum at home it's giving you the relief that you need and the control that you need to take care of your oral health. and it creates a healthier environment. there's no question it's something that i would recommend.

ainsley: we begin with a fox news alert. open for business. several more states moving forward with their reopening plans to get americans back to work. phase one officially kicking off in washington state today, outdoor activities like fishing and hunting and playing golf can resume there. drive-in spiritual services along with curbside retail, landscaping and cartel. also given the green light, steve? steve: meanwhile, way out west in california they will start stage 2 of reopening on friday. lower risk workplaces will be allowed to reopen. and here on the east coast, new york city and new york state releasing its four phases on opening the empire state back up

with stay a when stay at home orders expire 10 days from now on may 15th. in boston hundreds seen storming the state house demanding the governor to reopen the economy. [chanting] hey hey, ho ho, end the shutdown now. hey, hey, ho, ho. >> end the shutdown now. brian: golf course defying the state's stay-at-home orders by reopening. somebody left the holes open. the president set to tour a honey well mask facility in arizona. that's a good story. fema chart published by the "new york times" shows covid-19 deaths will increase 3,000 a day by next month. president trump heard about this. telling the "new york post" it's false. he never heard that before. coronavirus comeback he says is underway. one thing is pretty certain. the models that we have been told to deal with have

consistently been wrong. on the plus side and the negative side. we're up around 70,000 fatalities. meanwhile the senate goes back to work today it. looks like the house will go back on monday. among the things they are going to be talking about, they are going to be talking about john ratcliffe's nomination. they are going to put through some hearings. they also want to approve some judges. and meanwhile chuck schumer says hey, you know what? i just want to do covid-19. listen. >> 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. >> if it's essential that brave healthcare workers, grocery store workers, truck drivers and many other americans continue to carefully show up for work, it's essential that their u.s. senators carefully show up ourselves and support them. we are going to show up for work like the essential workers that we are. our bosses are the american

people and they are counting on us to keep on serving. ainsley: i understand his point. you know, he is say going we are going to expect truck drivers and sanitation workers and expect that teenager that rings us up at the grocery store to go to work. wearing a mask maybe behind that plexiglass, we should expect our leaders, they are called leaders in washington to go back to work to make sure we are all safe to confirm these judges. that's extremely important especially with an election around the corner for the conservative party. the director of national intelligence, as you mentioned john ratcliffe, brian, that's extremely important. especially right now when we are dealing with covid-19. steve: right. but, when you look at what the senate was actually able to do yesterday on the first day essentially they just okayed a guy on the nrc the national nuclear regulatory commission. wait a minute, we thought this was going to be national security related and mitch mcconnell came back.

listen, i get that the leaders are essential employees. they are essential workers. we need them. and that's why the white house's staff, that's why there are ways that the house and the senate can talk. but, at the same time, just as is the current case in society, there are some people who are over 65 years old, there are some people with pre-existing conditions who simply are vulnerable to this virus. and so those people, whether they are in the senate or the house or they work at a grocery store they're not going to work right now if they can help it because they are being isolated and our experts are telling us, brian, that that's the best way to continue to lessen the burden on our hospitals, et cetera, keeping hotels closed and things like that in some cases simply too flatten the curve so that we can get on the right course. so i get why some people say you know what? if somebody is over 65 they

don't want to would to work. at the same time, there are work arounds. the house of commons is doing it via teleconference. maybe the senate does the same thing man the house does who knows? ainsley: compromise. brian: kevin mccarthy is there got to work. don't take the job if you are older age. their constituents should know that hey, if i send my man or woman there and they are 90 years old as is senator feinstein, are they going to be able to work through a crisis. if you can't work through a crisis, you can't take the job. that's just fact of this unprecedented times is. ainsley: in their defense, coronavirus is something we have never experienced before. brian: we didn't know about 9/ 9/11. steve: also, there are people who are at a young age who are especially vulnerable if they have diabetes and heart problems as well. you can be 35 years old and that could be -- that could make you vulnerable to this. so, you know, everybody is a

different case. look, we are trying to figure out how it all works. and that's why there is such confusion. we all want to reopen. we want to get back to normal as quickly as we can at the same time, we have got to deal with this in a, you know, in a look at the data and figure out what the best pat forward is going to be. brian: we need them to work. governor kristi noem of south dakota is with us now. she never stops working. and governor, thanks so much for being here. i appreciate it. how close is south dakota back to normal if i could even use that term anymore? >> well, we are on the way back to normal. we never did shut down our businesses. we never told our people to shelter in place. we gave them an opportunity to be innovative to care for their customers and employees. i think south dakota is doing better than a lot of other states as far as slowing down the spread. but, also, our economy. and our small business owners. so, we're in a phase now where

we are still advising our vulnerable population to stay home. we need those that are older or have some pre-existing health conditions to stay at home, to socially distance. but then allowing people some opportunities to really continue the economic activity that we need to survive. ainsley: governor, we are hearing all these stories about the meat packing plants that are closing down. we interviewed you a few weeks ago about that what happened at smithfield. what's the update on that and is your state -- are you rationing your meat now? we did a story that costco you can only buy three, i think three things of meat and some of the other grocery stores, kroger, some other grocery stores around the country. what's the update on that? >> well, one of the things we do best in south dakota is grow the nation's food and the world's food. we do have an abundance yet. but we are concerned about getting these plants back online and we are expecting the plants in south dakota to get back online here in a matter of days. the state has stepped up and

provided personal protective equipment. the federal government has helped us make sure we have the testing capability to aggressively go after any kind of hot spots we might see in the future. we believe we are prepared. steve: right. some of the hot spots there in your state have been around the meat packing plant. i believe it was yesterday you were on a conference call with vice president pence and all of the other governors. and you were talking about your road map back to normal, whatever that is going to look like going forward. but, you know, as a republican governor, governor noem, how would you describe the dynamic between the way some democratic governors are handling this and how some republican governors are handling it? because i have heard some analysts say, you know, they are both on different pages. and why would that be? >> well, i think all of us need to go back and look at what's best for our states. and our states are very diverse.

very different. south dakota is not like new york. it's not like new jersey. so i need to make different decisions than they are. i also know that this is an important time. it's an important time that will show us what kind of leadership we have in this country. and if we understand the foundations of this country and what makes us great. so, we should do what we can to believe in our people, to make the best decisions for public health. and make sure that we're taking all consequences into consideration when we are making our decisions. looking at mental health. looking at our economy, what that does to putting food on the table for our families as well as public health and then making the best decision to keep people safe. brian: governor, give me an idea what you look like. i know the federal government gave out guidelines. didn't say it was the letter of the law but gave out guidelines. when do you think restaurants will get back to capacity? when do you think people go to movie theaters in south dakota? give us an idea of what it looks like to be a south dakota

resident. >> well, our projections in south dakota have always been based around how we can take care of people should they need to be in the hospital. should they need ventilators. and we won't hit our peek need in mid june. i'm advising south dakota that we still need to change a little bit of our behaviors until we get past that peak. physical we know we have got this under control. we are feeling better every day because we have more testing. we have more knowledge and understand the science of this virus more that all prepares us to deal with it in the future. and i have told them all to be flexible. we have to continue to be anymore beingnimbleto make adjut needs addressed. i will give them flexibility when we can when we have a situation, i will advise them that they need to start social distancing. that they need to make sure the vulnerable population is protected. ainsley: you mean it will be worse in a month? >> we have always said that in south dakota that we are behind the rest of the country as far

as when we think our peak hospitalization rate will be. a lot of people get distracted by positive cases of covid-19. i have tried to focus my state on the fact that we need to focus on hospitalizations because that's who i have to take care of. we will see more cases. we will see more positive cases. i need to make sure i can take care of those that might needle vacated levels of care. that's how i have talked to the folks here in south dakota. they understand that that peak need might be in june yet. so we have got a road in front of us that is not a sprint. this is a smear on this. we aris a marathon.people have d personal responsibility in all of this. steve: right. of course, ainsley, brian, and i are all in the hot zone. we are in new jersey and new york as well. describe, if you would, governor, just what it looks like on the street. you are in paris, south dakota right now. here in new jersey, whenever did you go outside, you are supposed

to wear a mask. and you have got to keep a distance. how does it look where you are because we know you have not had nearly the number of cases that we have but at the same time, you have got some very rationale and measured approaches to social distancing and responsible behavior. >> i think it depends on where you are in south dakota. i'm in pierre in the capital. and folks are running their essential errands. we have some folks going back to work that are still practicing social distancing in their workplace. so people are living their lives. although they do change their behaviors. and that's to protect other people as well as their families. they recognize that we do have folks that if they catch this virus, they will get very sick. and they are doing what's right for them. you get into our larger cities, you will see a lot more people wearing masks. a lot more of the vulnerable population is staying home. we appreciate that because that is the safest place for them. that's the safest place where they can be to make sure that

they are not going to exget exposed to the virus. that's where the majority of our cases have been. two thirds of our state has throilings none activity whatsoever as far as the virus. of our cases are in sioux falls in that area where we have quite a few infections and those folks there taking extra precautions. brian: governor kristi noem, thanks so much. >> thank you have. a wonderful day. ainsley: you too. brian: let's go out to carley shimkus. what can you tell us? you begin with a fox news alert i believe? carley: that's right. we are starting right there. venezuela detaining two americans among a group of membermercenaries. police arresting the group after floilg their plot to capture the socialist leader. holding up american passports during a nationwide broadcast. both are special sources soldiers. that dura calling the 13 terrorists and blaming the trump administration for organizing it.

redemption year where i can step into the d-1 qualifying kind of realm. because last year i was just on the verge of being d-1 schools. but right now i was planning on trying to get my time even faster so i would be qualifying for serious scholarships at big schools. steve: right. and we should point out that you are a great athlete. let me toot your horn for you. two-time city champion in the high hurdles. congratulations. that's awesome. but you wanted this spring to be your redemption year as you said because you had a pulled hamstring last year. you wanted to be in front of those potential recruiters who would see you. >> yes. >> and then ultimately offer you a scholarship at a great college. tell us how this pandemic has

impacted that dream? >> it's kind of made a dream like -- it's kind of like not totally in my reach now. because if i would have had my season i would have had played y plenty of other schools reach out to me. so far only two schools try to get me on their team and they are not -- they are aren't like bigger d-1 programs. that's where it's at right now. but the plan is that if i can just continue to practice and i can possibly walk on at whatever school i end up going to next. steve: i know you feel like you have lost everything that you have been working for over the last couple of years. and right now the best case scenario is walk on and get offered something. you are not alone in, you know, losing this dream. and being able to play sports this particular spring season. tell me about your friends who are on all the different high school teams and how all of

their dreams are dashed right now. >> well, i don't want to say i know much about other sports at my schools. like there are many spring sports. but in terms of football and basketball. i think that overall those teams are doing well but i'm not 100 percent clear on that. steve: okay. i completely understand. so, tell us your plan right now as of 7:33 on the morning on tuesday, may 5th. what do you think you are going to be able to do? >> well, my plan from now on is going to be continue to practice every day and work towards being at the d-1 level so i can walk on to a team and i would also possibly be going to a school that will -- that is already offering me some money. so i'm just in that predicament right now. trying to just work harder on my

own and try to get to where i need to be. steve: ire remarks do you have one dream school? they might be watching right now if you would like to make a pitch. this could be it. >> well, my dream, i would say would probably be ohio state. because i have already my foot in the door with their academics. but actually running at the ohio state university would be my dream. steve: well, let's see if they are watching. let's see if they can make that happen. ira graham, good luck to you. i know you are going to be graduating from high school shortly. keep us posted because we would love to update our viewers. thank you, sir. >> okay, yes. thank you. steve: you bet. all right. very good. all right. 25 minutes now before the top of the hour. coming up, joe biden says the covid-19 pandemic is a chance to help america. >> if we do this right, we have an incredible opportunity to not

so much going on. ainsley: filmed in space? what? ainsley: isn't that crazy? leave it to tom cruise. he will do a good job there. ainsley: thank you so much. carley. big wink sing dough d week. saturday is your birthday and sunday is mother's day. janice: that's a lot of celebration. brian: mother's day utmost important. janice: your birthday too, brian. i will tell you if you live in the northeast. it's going to be a record breaker. not just in terms of all the birthdays we are celebrating but because we are going to see record cold temperatures. let's take a look at it. temperatures today actually in the 40's and the 30's across portions of the interior northeast, the great lakes, the you were midwest. we are going to have cold enough temperatures for snow on thursday and saturday. into the weekend. so there is the first batch that moves up towards the northeast. and then a second round of artic air is going to plunge southward

and eastward in towards the northeast and bring measure being, measurable snow to the mountains and the interior sections of new england and the northeast. this is going to be a record breaker. you know, we might as well do it this weekend on mother's day. and my birthday. on the flip side of that, we have very warm air across the southwest, there is another shot of that cold air that's going to move in this weekend for portions of the southwest they are dealing with extreme heat, temperatures in the 90's and 100 degrees, that's going to hang on for the next several days as we head into the next -- for the weekend. temperatures very warm. so take your pick. you either want the cold air across the northeast or the very warm temperatures for parts of the southwest as you are can see phoenix still very warm. that's exciting though, snow, mother's day, my birthday, brian's birthday. toba's birthday what else did i miss? cinco de mayo?

steve: mother's day and the snow maybe. janice: lots of quarantinis. steve: which would be delicious at 9:30 this morning. yesterday in the pages of the "new york times" david plouffe and axelrod said biden has to get out of the basement. beaming out from his basement he looks like a astronaut on the space station. he has to do something. he actually did a virtual town hall where he left the basement. he was out and about. could have been a garage. could have been the porch. but what he said, ainsley and brian was really interesting. he said this global pandemic where tens of thousands of people are dying looks like an opportunity to remake america for the better going forward. watch.

here's joe. >> you truly think that if we do this right, we have an incredible opportunity to not just dig out of this crisis but to fundamentally transform the country so that it's more fair, more just, more equitable for everybody. steve: brian, is he talking be would like to remake america for being a better place, obviously is he talking about, among other things, he would be president and not the current guy, donald trump. brian: hard to imagine joe biden 1980s or 1990s agreeing with joe biden today. not using gas. paid not to go to work. want the government paying for everything. this crisis, pandemic looks a lot like outside the people dying of the vicious virus looks a lot like the world in which

they want to live i n which america is not most powerful and which america writes checks for people and there is no innovation and oil and gas doesn't really matter. meanwhile, that's the remaking of america. remember, remember rahm emanuel said that and hillary clinton said this unabashedly, listen. >> every form of healthcare should continue to be available including reproductive healthcare for every woman in this country and then it needs to be part of a much larger system that eventually and quickly, i hope, gets us to universal healthcare. this would be a terrible crisis to as the old saying goes. we have learned a lot about what our absolute frailties are in our country when it comes to health, justice, and economic justice. so, you know, let's be resolved that we are going to solve those once you are elected president.

brian: right. we are going to look for economic justice. we just have to have enough ventilators, ppe equipment and the hospitals have to be ready to chevrolet elective surgery if that's the perfect medical world she wants. i don't think money or the universal healthcare is the issue. it was being prepared for the pandemic is the issue. go ahead and use rahm's line, ainsley. ainsley: right, right. to use this crisis or don't let this crisis go to waste. you know, when you think about it though. these are democrats that are saying we don't want this crisis to go to waste. we need to figure out what's best. universal healthcare and all stuff. the democrats are the ones not wanting to go to work and republicans have a problem with that they are not going to washington. and republicans are saying they say to get there and get things done. i understand there are social distancing issues. and we don't want to put elderly on planes and fly them across the country maybe we find out a different compromise as steve was mentioning what they're doing in the u.k. they changed hundreds of years of rules there. just to accommodate the lawmakers there that are trying to get things done so maybe we

can do the same thing. you look at these protesters, i mean, i don't agree with these protesters in massachusetts that on top of each other not wearing masks. i am obviously for the first amendment, second amendment. i do want them to do it safely so they are not spreading corona amongst themselves when they were asked and interviewed by reporters on the ground in boston yesterday at the protest. they said things like we want to work. we want to be back out there. we want to feed our families. end the shutdown now. and then there is that woman who owns the golf courses in massachusetts she said i'm sorry the governor is telling me i can't work. it's been five weeks. i haven't been able to pay my employees. i can't put food on the table for my family. i have got to open up my golf courses. i will make sure people follows the rules. most people want to get back to work by the grace of god the three of us are still getting paid. can you imagine not getting a paycheck right now? it would be very nerve-racking and that's effecting so many people in our country. steve? steve: in so many ways, ainsley, you are absolutely right. that's why it's important to get

back on the track and that is why america is slowly reopening. some states faster than others. some way ahead of others as well. all right. more on this a little later on. meantime, everybody knows about the assassination of abraham lincoln. but did you know there was a secret plot to kill him four years earlier? what you didn't know about abe lincoln about to be revealed coming up next. they are the heroes, the helpers - working on the front lines, and here's one small way that you can help them in return. complete your 2020 census today. 2020 census data helps communities plan funding for hospitals, clinics, and emergency services across the country. an accurate count helps public health officials know who is at risk, and first responders identify the resources they need to protect our communities. complete your census at 2020census.gov

brian: he is known as one of the greatest if not the greatest president america ever had. fighting to preserve the union in the civil war and free 4 million slaves. did you know there was a secret plot that nearly took it all away and nearly stopped him from becoming president? watch. >> he was determine to maintain her position. >> rebels will storm this city and that will be the end of it. the end of the united states of america. [screams] brian: that's just some of the fox nation special the secrets of abraham lincoln.

here with more is brad melter. author of the lincoln conspiracy. congratulations, brad, i talked to you about this on radio. set the scene about the assassination thankfully that never was. >> sure. and we all know the story of john wilkes booth ending abraham lincoln's presidency. this is the story of the first secret plot to kill abraham lincoln at the very start. to be sworn in as the 16th president, abraham lincoln had to take a train from his home in springfield, illinois to washington, d.c. but the only way to get there he had to go through baltimore. and maryland at the time was a slave state. so the problem was simple. a secret society planned to kill abraham lincoln when he came through baltimore and end his presidency before it even began. this is the story of the lincoln conspiracy. brian: all right. when they get word of it, what do they do? >> in the middle of the night, there is a speeding train filled

with passengers, four of them. and among them are two business members. there is a woman and she has a brother who is an invalid. but none of them are who they say they are. the man is actually allen pinkerton, the head of the famed pink kerrton detective agency. the woman is warren the first private i in america. he is not invalid. his name is ab abraham lincoln. they are actually escaping in the middle of the night. they give him a code name and give him a disguise you won't believe the disguise they put him in and that's what saved his life. i just ruined chapter one. pinkerton detectives actually come in and save the day. brian: just a precursor of the type of danger lincoln was. in you also say real quick that his mom, stepmom had a premonition about never seeing him again. right? >> yeah. she basically says the last thing he does before he leaves

for the presidency, and that's the great part of the book is you see lincoln at the start of his presidency, she says i'm worried they are going to assistant, i will never see him again when he goes to see her and she is absolutely right. brian: goes to see his dad right before it. great mother's day and father's day gift in june. mother's day on sunday. people can't go to book stores but they are reading. hopefully they will pick up the true story of the lincoln conspiracy. thanks so much. i look forward to streaming ton fox nation. it posts tonight, right? >> it posts tonight and in book stores everywhere right now. brian: gotcha. all right. thanks, brad. coming up next. kellyanne conway, ben shapiro all next hour and us. don't move. over one million health care workers with benefits that help bring peace of mind in times like these. you're constantly weakening

steve: good morning, it's 8:00 o'clock in new york city area on this tuesday may fifth, 2020. we start with fox news alert. opening for business. several more states moving forward with their reopening plans to get americans back to work. phase 1 officially kicking off in washington state today. outdoor activities like fishing, hunting and playing golf can resume as long as they social distan, -- distance and drive-in services. brian: does anyone have any money to buy a car, though?

california begins phase 2 of reopening friday. lower-risk places allow today reopen, whatever that means. in the east coast new yorker releasing four phases on the opening of the empire state. back stay at home orders expire on may 15th, hopefully that'll happen. ainsley: a lot of people moving out of new york city and they are buying them or renting them because they didn't have cars. brian: good. ainsley: hundreds swarming the state house demanding the governor to reopen the economy. >> end the shutdown now! ainsley: the stay at home order in that state expires on may 18th and folks there that were at the protest, they were criticized because they weren't social distanced and they weren't wearing masks but i understand their -- they want to get back to work, people there were saying we need to feed our

families, we are not making paychecks. steve: that's right. so many people all across the country, ainsley, and around the world are frustrated and they would like to get back to work, get back to life as we remember it just a couple of months as we remember it. both sides have started arguing with each other. griff jenkins live in washington with a new dispute on capitol hill. griff, it doesn't sound as if the democrats think that mitch mcconnell's position to call them back was a smart one? griff: that's right, their first time back since march 25th, one thing didn't change and that's the best of my recollectioning and the fighting, leaders mcconnell and schumer clashing on confirming more judges and filling vacancies and whether or not it's safe to return in the first place. >> we are going to show up for work like the essential workers that we are. our bosses are the american people and they are counting on us to keep on serving.

>> if we are going to make the fine people come into work in these conditions, let the senate at least conduct the nation's business and focus like a laser on covid-19. griff: on the agenda in just a few hours we will start hearing of nomination former congressman john ratcliffe for the position of director of national intelligence. he's expected to get grilled after staunch defense of the president during impeachment hearings and relief package of phase 4, no indication of what's in that or timeline of when we can expect that to come up. meanwhile the house remains out of session. speaker pelosi not reddy to bring members back but she's ready to blast the white house for blocking coronavirus task force members from testifying. speaking of the white house, the president is looking out to getting first major travel since lockdown began. he's heading to arizona to tour

honeywell facility. brian: that'll be great, thanks so much, griff. meanwhile let's bring in kellyanne conway, council to the president, helped him elected in 2016, kellyanne, welcome back. i see the president is out visiting honeywell and i'm struck by the report that came out that new york times got a hold off put off by fema with 715 people lose lives to the covid-19, that's going to go up to 3,000 by june 1st, that's 71% increase, are those the numbers that -- that you heard around the white house too? >> the white house clearly said, brian, good morning, that the task force did not generate the document and no one at the task force to my knowledge has been asked to review it andrew: scrub the data and agree with it. i think the most important thing

to note is that the president has said all along that we are going to have death and destruction. what we have been trying to do here is to mourn the dead and grieve with those who lost loved ones and mitigate the damage from the invisible enemy. joining forces with companies like honeywell to develop high-quality n-95 masks, respirators, deploying the ventilators to every state, everybody needed a ventilator got a ventilator. working with democratic governor who is are accrediting him and lobbying efforts to collaborate with them and not compete with them. dealing with the other g7 leaders who say it's a global pandemic, repatriating americans when the pandemic, three consecutive packages and the president is going to continue

to do that. we know that additional deaths sadly will continue. what we are trying to do is to show that the healthcare president is the one that's governing and directing his fda to approve pharmaceuticals and devices in record time, sometimes it would take 4 to 6 years, it's done 4 to 6 weeks. same thing with hhhs and cms, hospital rules and regulations has been relaxed. this president 100 billion now plus for the hospitals for reimbursement, that's significant amount of money because about a third of that is going to cover covid expenses for the uninsured. this healthcare president started with transparency, medical billing, kidney health, decreasing medicare premiums but now the national guards are sanitizing nursing homes and now the va has tested all of the people in veteran servicing homes and we will continue to bring testing online and that's what we are focused on that the healthcare president continue to

deliver for time of pandemic crisis and other healthcare needs. ainsley: kellyanne, tell us why he decided to go to honeywell, he's flying to over, why? >> honeywell has been private-sector partners that stepped up on behalf of the country, ainsley. in this case honeywell commit today and in fact, delivered on commitment to produce high-quality n-95 masks, respirators, we have companies like american leather that converted factories in north carolina and texas to try to help make gowns and masks as well. we have to success stories all across the country everyday americans check on elders in their lives, their neighbors, donate to the food banks, to the blood banks, people are really coming together and turns out that americans can be part of the solution for something as serious as this global pandemic. we followed instructions, we slowed the spread for 45 days and now as we gradually and safely reopen in about 35 or so of the states, democrat and

republican states, we put out almost 3 weeks ago ainsley, steve and brian, our three-phase approach to safe, gradual we open. the states have that. our health team and economic experts have told everybody present your plans to us, share them with us and we will see if they comport with the guidelines and how best to support your effort. steve: but one of the guidelines, kellyanne, if you want to enter phase 1, you to have two weeks where you got negative growth of the virus and, you know, you look at the states that are reopening, it doesn't seem like that is the case. >> so i think some states are reopening in some areas and let's take florida, for example, governor desantis was last week, 3 hard-hit counties as i understand. they are hundreds and hundreds of miles away from some of the beaches that reopened in the northern part of the state. i think you'll see examples like

that across the country. also it depends on the industry and the individuals. if you are 72-year-old worker who had exposure or who has underlying conditions, you may not go back to work perhaps as quickly assay somebody 30 years, 40 years younger than you, live ago loan, healthy, asymptomatic. that's one example. the other example is just to show that we -- we as a federal government support what the states are deciding so long they are comporting with that. let me make clear some states flattened a long time ago, some states never really had thank god a big surge. they have been flat all along and it would be hard for them to decrease numbers when they've been flat for a while. but if you don't see the surge and then that's why our medical team also says it's important because there was a big outbreak in the state a few miles from you but it was a wedding, it was a nursing home, a prison, we are

keeping our eye on that and it may not affect you as much as if it were you in the neighborhood. brian: i understand the house we wanted to see dr. fauci, what could you tell us about any member of the task force and testifying some time in may and can you separate the chambers? you have a different policy per chamber? >> lawyers are probably sorting that out. i prefer that our health and all of us experts focus continue to focus on the pandemic which have been doing for 2 straight months at the white house rather than -- brian: they say they are from getting the latest from the task force. >> that's sure, if the president has no problem, there's no attachment to that, i will leave to lawyers and testifiers. i think it would shed great deal of light. i do hope the people that are

asking the questions are asking intelligent rational questions that are relevant to the american health because we have seen what they do before, for example, they say stupid things like this is a job interview, this is a job interview for lifetime appointment for brett kavanaugh, let's believe all women, 3 women, most of whom retracted or didn't have corroborated evidence. let's make sure they make good use of question time of dr. fauci and other members of the task force we had two years of collusion nonsense, we tried to remove him and none of all of that worked it better be about health. brian: pretty clear, the president said no, the white house said no to anthony fauci to the house and i thought yes to the senate and yesterday seemed cloudy. senator schumer indicated he will be coming to the senate, do you know if that is true, he will be going to the senate and not go to the house? >> no, i'm not going to say that

today one way or the other. it's up to the president and the lawyers here. if they were to say yes to that sen i certainly hope people would make good time. spend the time in relevant fashion on behalf of the american health so that you have the infection disease lead for the country and the task force there talking about the task force work and saying that the mitigation tactics we all undertook have actually helped the spread. i heard dr. fauci said that publicly and privately. look, dr. fauci has meeting daily and has great exposure to the country in terms of helping them understand the pandemic and what to do to protect themselves and others. sometimes as questions are relevant and sometimes they are not. it's just a couple of weeks ago you had a reporter from different networks basically shouting him abusively acting him of being a supplicant, are

you here on your free will, so let's just make sure if he does, he if can, but i think that our work is very clear every day too from the task force. you've had the task force briefings, we've made our doctors, economists, vice president himself, cabinet members available to the press and available to the people quite remarkably if not historically and transparently. ainsley: kellyanne let's talk about michael flynn. we are learning now the fbi had pienka, what do you know about im, the guy that worked on the fbi and also participated in the russia collusion and -- and surveilling carter page's phones and this is jim jordan because jim jordans wants some answers an he's asking for christopher wray to speak about this,

listen. >> jim: where has chris wray been? we want to talk to agent that is were there when they interviewed mike flynn and why they changed the 302. let us talk with mr. pienka when they interviewed mike flynn. that's what we want to see. ainsley: kellyanne enlighten us, tell us who was in the room when the fbi interviewed michael flynn when he didn't have an attorney there and attorneys retweeting a tweet about christopher wray, she wants him fired. >> i think sunlight is the best disinfectant and we should have it all out there in terms of transparency and accountability. obviously the president is correct michael flynn was denigrated and as he told new york post yesterday probably treated more unfairly than anybody else and he's right. ladies and gentlemen, the fbi, the obama people frankly sent their folks, the obama-biden people sent folks to the white house a few days into our

administration. did they come here to help? did they come here to warn thaws michael flynn is a russian asset? no, he had been their colleague. president barack obama, two things to worry about north korea and michael flynn. that's just odd stuff. are the two. general who served 3 plus decades with distinction and for the obama administration which continued given top security clearance. so we will find out who was in the room and why they were setting up. we've already seen the notes in the margin, should we get him to lie or be fired, we already know that the fix was in and i think that we are -- if people say, oh, you're just trying to investigate, folks, we went through a 2-year investigation on your taxpayer dollar and we comply today that in this white house, nothing came of it. the mueller investigation, the mueller report, the mueller testimony, remember those? and then into the ukraine investigation, we have every need to know transparently what happened and i do think director

wray should speak also. i think the former fbi director who got a heros welcome, jim comey's book, the prime time interviews, he lied too. he's a liar and a leaker, he lied and leaked. his book is a roll of paper towels at this point. i want to hear also the people at the top, the fbi who tried to prevent donald trump from being elected were political in their jobs on taxpayer dollar. they continue to do that after he got elected and in the early days of our administration through michael flynn, newly installed national security director. we need to know. steve: kellyanne, before you go, breaking news, you know, down in venezuela nicolás maduro said his government captured two americans, we believe they could have been special forces. he refers to them as mercenaries and he says they were in his country to try to kill him.

what -- what's the white house story on that? >> i will let the national security folks if not the president to talk about that, i will -- will be leaving shortly and make take questions from the press. we don't believe maduro is legitimate president and secretary of state and others have said and i want to say when the president visits arizona one of the things in honeywell that's significant, he's having a round table with native americans, he will be signing a new proclamation for missing and murdered indigenous women. we had a big event here in the oval office the end of november. we also have invested over $8 billion in the tribal lands due to covid-19, major investment because they and other vulnerable populations have been disproportionately hard hit and we want to make sure the president is there to speak with them directly. we will keep you posted on venezuela situation as it

unfolds. ainsley: thanks, kellyanne. brian: blood clots found in patients after they recovered. how does that happen? dr. oz has been tasked with finding out. he will join us next. these days staying connected is more important than ever.

blood clots an strokes which is something new. we are learning something every day about this, but we need to know about the things because those things are treatable. dr. oz: well, i tell you, it is one of the biggest realities of any viral illness. it causes problems you never expected in the very beginning. to your point that's the main message. treatable problems if you know they're out there. we have recognized for a while that the immune system can overreact when you have covid-19 virus, that causes all kinds of issues but this is different. this is with virus particles dreadly attacking arteries and causing heart attacks and kidney failure and the strokes that you mentioned. it can happen in younger people. it's not just icu patients. we know a third of icu patients have blood clots and dramatically worsens breathing. i just covered patients, 30 to 50, young adults, mild symptoms of covid-19 and all developed

classic signs of stroke. you put your hands up are uneven, the asymmetry are clues, you don't have that much time. two of the five young people delayed care because they were worried about going to the hospital when there was a covid-19 pandemic. steve: well, good that you're getting the word out regarding that. in the meantime here in the new york city area, 15 children are hospitalized and it seems to be there could be a connection between disease which is significant fever for young people and could be possibly tied to coronavirus, right? dr. oz: could be. ten out of 15 either had had covid-19 or were actively having it, so we are not quite sure. first reported in europe but this is exactly how we figure out what a virus actually do, fever over 105, redness, they

did well and survived but you to use aspirin early, rare times that you do and protein and steve much bigger picture, recognize the virus is not just about the classic things that we were told when it was just coming to this country. there are lots of subtle things it does to us, a lot of the experts in the area are describing those, we need to be attentive to them and treat them early. steve: indeed, real quick, going back to first part of the story where there are young people who seemed to have gotten over it but they developed symptoms of a stroke and blood clot. if somebody watching is in that category should they call their doctor, should they tell a doc, should they do what? dr. oz: medially call your physician. most likely they will get you into the hospital.

the acronym we use fast, face asymmetry and the arms not equally and t is for time douse you don't have much of it. steve: dr. oz, always a pleasure, thank you very much for joining us live. dr. oz: thank you, steve. steve: you bet, some lawmakers want to protect owners from potential liability and lawsuits, senator john thune say they should not have to worry about lawyers. he joins us live next.

brian: new battle in congress over shielding small business owners of litigation. the senate majority leader calling liability protections a must have for republicans in the next round of stimulus if there is one saying he won't support democratic demands for state aid without it. here to discuss that senate majority whip senator john thune. senator, i could see that being a real concern for business owners, big and small, because if they come back and something god forbid happens to an employee and they turn around and they sue, your business is over all after the strife and turmoil you have been through, but how would that grow? >> that's the real issue, brian. the businesses are fight to go stay afloat and if we come out of this and starting to recover and then they get hit with all of the frivolous lawsuits that end up bankrupt the company that runs counter to what we want seeing happening, creating the good paying jobs, i think the

way that it would work if you're a company, small business, this is small businesses. i talked to businesses in south dakota who are concerned about this issue that's doing everything right. you're following the cdc guidelines, you're following your state health authority's guidelines and then all of a sudden somebody hits you with you a frivolous lawsuit and puts you out of business and that's what we want to avoid but if you're somebody that's engaging in gross negligence when it comes to abiding by or practicing those rules, then obviously, you're probably not going to be protected. we think that limiting shield from liability for small businesses who are doing things the right way and trying to protect their employees and their workers, but are getting hit with frivolous lawsuits is something that could really run counter to getting the economy growing and expanding and getting us back to normal. brian: in your mind does it look like the government is offering liability insurance or does it look like prevention, people

filing lawsuit against employers due to pandemic? how does it work? how would it actually be written? >> well, you're seeing this already, brian, trial lawyers are lining up out there. a lot of reporting about lawsuits being contemplated and looking for potential victims of covid to take on as clients and go after businesses, not just businesses, this is healthcare providers, anybody who has been involved with the covid crisis in the country. i think the way that it would work is that you would probably have trial lawyers filing lawsuits perhaps on behalf of employees and perhaps of somebody who would acquire the virus anding are to either pay settlements or pay lawyers and could potentially put them out of business. that's a valid concern pong small businesses and so the way that it would essentially work is you would have limited liability protection against

those types of frivolous lawsuits. if you're practicing all of the guidelines and doing everything by the book and following the law you ought to have assurance that you're not going to be hit with lawsuit that could put you out of business and that's a shield from liability on a limited basis that would apply to businesses who are doing things the right way. brian: next rescue package, we don't know if there's going to be one but you will be do discussing. good to see you back in action. the house is coming back next week. the senate is there this week. >> good to be with you, thanks, brian. brian: he did shave the beard just for us, we are looking for second source on that. rafael's plans to reopen businesses on friday after protests over handling of the pandemic. ben shapiro lives in california, how does he think the governor is doing? what about the mayor of los angeles, we are going to ask

him.

steve: later today president trump set to tour a facility making n-95 face masks amid the pandemic at a honeywell plant in arizona. brian: in just a couple of hours he's heading to arizona as steve mentioned to honeywell plant so hopefully it'll go well used to take traveling once again and buckling up on the plane because it's been a while since he flew. ainsley: ty brennan with affiliate in phoenix, hey, ty? >> ty: good morning, guys, in a few hours president trump will be landing at airport and short trip basically across the tarmac to honeywell facility where he will tour the facility where they are making the n-95 masks. in late march honeywell announced it was adding the new

manufacturing capabilities to be able to produce the n-95 masks in support of the government's response to the coronavirus. the company said at the time that the mask production line would create 500 new jobs in our state. honeywell also says that the company, company wide they plan to be able to make 20 million masks a month. now this will be president trump's second time visiting arizona just this year. you may remember he was back here in february for one of his popular rallies, back to you, guys. steve: all right, ty, we thank you very much, looks like a nice day at sky harbor airport in phoenix area. a couple of hundred miles to the west of where he is ben shapiro is sitting right now. he's the host of ben shapiro show and author of upcoming book how to destroy america in 3 easy steps and there's the cover. we will talk about that in a minute. ben, let's talk about you, you're in california, southern

california. gavin newsom announced that the state of california will go to phase 2 on friday, some businesses will reopen, curbside pickup, no restaurants or offices yet. also some of the beaches that had close right side going to reopen. talk a little bit, ben, about the governor's response across the country because to many it seems like there are too many different ways they are going, either they are opening things up which seems to be the republican governor way of doing it and the democratic governor who is are not opening up as quickly? ben: that's right, when you look at purple states. the red states tend to be opening and blue states like california are closed to the point that gavin newsom is sending helicopters, eric

garcetti sent and this is over the top, but what's really interesting and the media aren't talking about it too much are the purple states, colorado is opening, the mayor of maine, governor of maine is opening up. so if you look at the purple areas, the areas where americans are split, well, you're seeing the governors are tend to go think pretty seriously about opening up in ways that are not in deep blue areas. the polarization is fascinating. there should be public policy that's decided by infection rates an population density. california has not been a hard-hit state. we have some big population centers but we have a rate of something like 5 for 500,000 in population in terms of deaths, that's a very, very low rate and we are being treated more like the residents of new york than the residents of florida or

texas. brian: people are beginning to stand up and sound off. i look at some of the video, even the aerial video from 2 weeks ago, the beaches were socially distance and people were paying attention and cops and firefighters said that people were compliant and people will begin to vote on freedom and oppression, ben, this thing could change quick? ben: people are voting by their feet by cell phone data people are starting to get out again and as the weather gets better you will see more of that. by the way going outside and social distancing from people is the safest thing you can do in the circumstances. governor who is attempt today shut this down are actually doing something deeply counterproductive. ainsley: did gavin newsom decided to open up because he got backlash about open up the beaches? ben been do i think that's what happened. his order was to shut down every state beach and now shut down

the beaches that humiliated me because people showed up and now revising that and dumb strategy looks like shutting half of the beaches and those who have car in california drive to open beaches. the policy is not being driven by considered policy. seems to be driven mostly by political considerations which at this point is a problem. i'm very much for being given. steve: it has to be driven by data because you don't know what's coming. you're in california, 3 states that are listening to -- 3 counties who are going, okay, gavin newsom, you're saying one thing, we will not listen to you, we will reopen, it is sutter and yuba and modoc counties and in modoc county zero cases so the sheriff is going, you know, why do we have to be so careful there's nobody

here with it. ben: well, that's exactly light, you're starting to see not only in california but across the country. rural areas across are being treated to philadelphia. local leaders need today make the stations, the policy in miami was not going to look like policy of panhandle. by the way, up state new york should not have been treated the same way as new york city in new york. steve: right. ben: it's all nonsensical. the stuff that's sense call is areas taken in populated outbreaks. brian: ben, they are lazy, get on, get in their car, get in their tahoe or suburban and go up there and check it out and see if you can work it out. t easy to shut everything down.

it's a lot harder to go in and do your job. meanwhile let's pivot if we can and talk about politics, presidential politics to be specific and the tara reade allegations. we know he's -- she's sitting down with farrell, one in four democrats say that they would be open to -- picking another candidate because of some of the allegations and meanwhile i'm amazed how many democrats that are going to believe joe especially when they never believed kavanaugh. remember this. >> there's no presumption of innocence or guilt when you have a nominee before you. >> it's not about a criminal trial about kavanaugh's guilt oren -- >> it's a job interview for judge kavanaugh.

>> it's brett kavanaugh who we want on the most prestigious job in the country? >> there's so much more work to figure out. the one important thing i know is and if there's anything in terms of mind set of supreme court hearings and those kinds of circumstances, the supreme court hearing is not a trial, it's a job interview, it's a job interview and you don't have to prove beyond all reasonable doubt anything as to why you shouldn't put so and so on the court. brian: ben, hypocrisy, i don't have to go to 1950, i have to go back a year and a half ago. it's amazing, shoe on the other fact disease. ben: beyond that, you're right, hypocrisy is really the story here. the tara reade allegation i think has a lot of problems with it. i think she's verified her account. that does not change the real

underlying story which is joe biden among democrats set up a standard that was completely unworkable with justice kavanaugh and they've thrown the standard out of window. joe biden would like to apply his old standard to everybody on college campuses. let's not forget that he wants to apply those allegations to evidence of guilt standards to every kid on college campus who is accused of anything under title 9 regulations. ripping secretary of education betsy devos. now democrats are caught in this trap where they either have to recognize they were being hypocrites when they were attacking kavanaugh or hypocrites now or both. ainsley: president is not a job interview? let's talk about your book. ben: i really appreciate it. the book is all about the issues that are really dividing the country at a very root level. we saw yesterday that pulitzer prize awarded for columnist in

attempt to rewrite american history and dramatically historical fashion ripped by pull litters prize winner and awarded because of viewpoint that america is really at root deeply evil country that cannot be fixed in any serious way. the america sounding philosophy that culture of rights and history itself is corrupt and if we are hoping to have a future together as a country, we have to share philosophy, cultural of rights an history and a whole bunch of people not just on the left but political spectrum and to disintegrate and in the absence of that unity, we are going to fall apart. ainsley: all right, thanks so much, ben. steve: how to destroy the country in 3 easy steps, you preorder it right now, ainsley. ainsley: that's right. thanks, ben, great to see you. today is national teachers day and if you're a parent you've been a teacher over the last few months. this year many of them have had to adjust life outside of the

>> well, honestly, i have to say at first it was a little bit overwhelming definitely as a teacher i think you go in with your full heart and you want to be able to work with kids and, you know, you are moving their finger to teach them thousand read and definitely a different type of style that we are learning to, you know, still be involved in their homes with them through a computer, that's the biggest challenge, the technology part. ainsley: what's your advice to us that are moms, we are not trained as teachers, i'm not but yet teaching a 4-year-old. if she were in first grade i would teach her how to read and you're much more an expert than i am. what are for moms to prepare for next year? >> my advice is just like i e-mailed my parents a few times a week, you're doing great. i try to send a positive message. most of the kids sign up for interviews with us to do a conference and want to show me what they're doing at home and how their parent, they are doing a good job and parents want to

have a conference, i need your help, i don't know what to do. just do your best. we are here to try to help and support the best we can. ainsley: we are doing the best we can as parents anyway and as teachers you feel the same way. happy national teacher day. national appreciation week, everyone, send an e-mail to your teachers and tell them thank you. god bless you, thanks tiffany for what you do. ainsley: what does that say? thank you. more "fox & friends" just ahead , school, gym and concert hall. and cvs is helping, with free prescription delivery and free telehealth from aetna. to help you stay in and well. home is where the heart is with cvs health.
