of people think san argument could be flushed down the toilet. rob: charlie from the top deck. what a way to beautifully wrap up the show. jillian: thank you everyone. have a good day. steve: good morning, it is thursday, may 7th, 2020. we start this show today with a fox news alert. a once classified memo now raising questions over the handling of the russia probe. brian: yup, it reveals former special counsel robert mueller had more authority than previously thought. will. ainsley: griff jenkins constituency with a look who was targeted on the team. griff: here is what we are seeing for the first time a mostly unredacted memo released by the justice department. it was written in august of 2017 by then acting attorney general rod rosenstein outlining the scope of special counsel

mueller's investigation revealing that mueller was actually given much broader authority than we previously knew to investigate a wider range of arranged crimes beyond initial authority given in may of 2017 and this was. this any links and/or coordination between the russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of president donald trump and any matters that arose or may arise directly from that investigation. well, now this memo shows rosenstein authorizing a much deeper dive into criminal allegations against these campaign aides, carter page, paul manafort, george pahoundis, michael flynn and fifth unknown unidentified individual and the criminal allegations go well beyond russian interference they included failing to disclose frames a foreign government acting as unregistered agent as a foreign government. failing to report contacts with a foreign government. as well as making false statements to the fbi. and this comes as fox news is also learning that transcripts of interview us conducted by the house intelligence committee

with some 53 individuals in 2017 and 2018, they were cleared for release in a bipartisan manner from the committee show top intelligence officials affirming they had no evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia. now, a senior administration officials tell fox news that the house intelligence committee chairman and lead impeachment manager adam schiff is in, quote, panic mode raising questions over his previous statement that he had direct evidence of collusion. and fox is also told it is possible that this committee could release some 6,000 pages of interviews as early as today. we are keeping our eyes on capitol hill. there is much more to this story. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: thank you very much, griff. there is much more to the story because quite a bit of that particular document that was released memos released yesterday still blacked out as griff just said there is one entire section where you can't read one single word.

so clearly when you look at what was going on, it was a phishin g expedition to see what they could get to stick. some of it did most of it didn't. the whole way they did this is they used that dossier which as we know now a bunch of it was made up stuff to get this thing going. lindsey graham who this redacted version was handed over to yesterday had this observation on fox news channel. watch this. >> the legal foundation for mueller's appointment is crumbling. so now we know that the scope of the investigation was to look at carter page, flynn, pahoundis and manaforpaparazzi orpapadopo. you nailed it in january of 2017, the subsource disavowed the dossier and without the

dossier there is no warrant. so they knew. now i know why mueller didn't find anything there wasn't anything to find. steve: so, brian, the dossier had a bunch of stuff that was made up. and we'll wanted to see this particular scope memo for a while to see whether or not mr. mueller exceeded his mandate. and that question now being debated. brian: it is amazing. you know the president has got to rotate people so often. a lot of it is because he is wondering what's going on. for example, why was dan coats sitting on this all this time? he gets replaced by ric grenell temporarily. grenell goes in there. tries to get to the bottom of things. puts the pressure on adam schiff. prison, the redaction is done. release all the information. he sits on it for a couple of days. realizes he has no choice. enough to he is going to release the information. we are going to see when adam schiff came out and says we have

indisputable evidence that donald trump colluded with russia there was nothing. he was flat out not telling the truth. my fear is this is getting so deep that the average personal caught up in the pandemic won't realize how big a story this is it's only going to get bigger as the attorney general digs deeper and deeper and john durham gets closer and closer to unearthing what really took place. the whole investigation shouldn't have happened. think how much better our country would have been if the president was allowed to be the president for two years. if john kerry wasn't allowed to go down there with heads of state and say don't worry he is going to get impeached soon. he was unjustly elected because putin put him there. money shouldn't have been wasted. the legal fees through the roof. people in jail. michael flynn among others. roger stone and ruth all because of a phony premised launched from an investigation with no foundation. ainsley: this just proves what the president has been saying they were trying to dig up dirt,

whatever dirt they could find. they wrntsd able to find it. we never would have known about this if hillary clinton were elected. think about all the lives ruined because of this. so many people have millions of dollars in legal bills. losing their houses, families falling apart because of this and all because they were trying, trying to find dirt and they weren't able to do it. i hope that people are held accountable and we get to the bottom of this. steve? steve: absolutely, ainsley. all right. so, hour on that a little later on. meanwhile we have another fox news alert. president trump says the coronavirus task force may be expanding its role to help reopen the economy and not closing down. >> we will be adding some people to the task force. and they will be more in the neighborhood probably of opening our country up. because our country has to get open again. and the people want it to be open. but we have to open it up safely. it's very respected.

people said we should keep it going. so let's keep it going. brian: why not keep the experts out there. maybe accessible to the press. meanwhile, a lot of restrictions being lifted today. a lot more tomorrow in hawaii shopping malice, car washes, pet groomers can reopen outside awad mayy. ainsley: mississippi reopening parks there allowing some outdoor recreation. dining in restaurants parks and outdoor recreation. includes reopening parks and golf courses not campgrounds, marines and beaches. steve? steve: meanwhile, ainsley as we head to michigan construction and real estate can start back up. that's great news. the state is also cracking down. they are extending public health emergency along with new jersey. and in the commonwealth of

massachusetts, everyone in the state must wear a mask when they go out in public. steve: as we all want american life to get back world wife life to get back to normal. there was one encouraging bit of news yesterday that was that starbucks announced that 85% of their stores will reopen by the end of this week, which just gives you an idea. that's one of those things you see in your local mall and you think oh, i wish they would open that up. they are going to reopen it. what they are trying to do get people away from cash, make it cashless on the app. and a lot of social distancing. brian: i just want to see they have had plenty of time to get pumpkin spice latte no excuses now. wait in that line or order ahead they better have it. that's more or less. steve: it's the wrong season, brian. brian: there is never a bad season for pumpkin spice, i will go over that again.

let me jewels add to this. one thing that was astounding yesterday when we talk about getting back to work, getting back to school. betsy devos secretary of education saying the president is saying that figure out a way to get back to work and back to school instead of sheltering in home. one step blew me away. andrew cuomo said 66% of the cases in new york testing positive from coronavirus were for people who were sheltering at home not from first responders as he thought. not from necessary workers as he suspected. but for people who are actually doing it right. it makes me wonder are people's homes petrie dishes? why are we getting in trouble for sitting in the sand on a wide open beach because we are not at home? it's just astounding. meanwhile, the president of the united states has a press secretary that actually wants to do briefings and is pretty great at it. yesterday we saw it. the message is on the same page. the president had the audacity called americans warriors as did

kellyannkayleigh mcenany. let's watch and reflect. >> calling people warriors, the nation warriors. we can't keep our country closed down for years and we have to do something. >> american people are warriors because they stayed home. they are warriors because they social distanced. ainsley: how great was that? he and kayleigh are calling everyone in america who has done the right thing a warrior. i thought that was wonderful because it gave credit to people who are doing the right thing who are social distancing, who are trying as hard as it might be, mother's day is this weekend. we all want to go home and see our moms. most of us can't because we are worried about carrying something and giving it to our elderly parents even if we don't feel the symptoms. people are doing the right thing. i thought it was great. what was interesting is a reporter instead of asking other questions, a reporter says what's the definition of a warrior? listen to this reporter's question and then kayleigh's

response. >> opposite what the president says particularly because he says americans must be warriors to reopen the economy. you are saying they are warriors by staying home. >> we are saying the exact same thing. the president says they are warriors to reopen. guess what to get to reopening you have to social distance. it took the american people being warriors to get us to the point of reopening. ainsley: great job, kayleigh. it was a great response. it turned a negative into a positive. many people are saying and i don't know -- i don't know this reporter. many people are saying that this reporter was trying to go down the negative road and trying to focus on something that was small instead of asking another question. but it just r reit find. doing the right thing calling the american people warriors. we are all in this together and reminded us it's america strong right now. steve: well, you know, ainsley, one of the things about america strong is in a lot of places

there -- you have got to be strong because there are still stay-at-home orders. it's not until tomorrow that officially texas will reopen their salons and barber shops. we told folks about the story of shellie luther. she reopened weeks before she was supposed to and then was cited and potentially fined and a judge after she tore up a cease and desist order for reopening she was given a choice. are you going to -- if you apologize, i will not put you in jail. but she said, look, it's a choice. i have either got to work or my family goes hungry. she chose jail. listen. >> i have to disagree with you, sir, when you say that i'm selfish. because feeding my kids is not selfish. i have -- going hungry because they would rather feed their kids. so, sir, if you think the law is

more important than kids getting fed then please go ahead it w. your decision but i'm not going to shut the salon. steve: okay. so, she made it very clear, brian, she was choosing to go ahead and say to the judge i'm not going to apologize. now, her statement in front of the judge, so struck a cord all across. i mean, the governor of texas, the attorney general of texas, the lieutenant governor of texas are all backing her. and so are everyday americans. a go fund me page has been started for shellie luther and right now it is at $500,000. brian: thank goodness. because this is about survival. and it represents so many people who have bars and restaurants, nail salons or get this a jewelry shop with mother's day? we better shut that down because america is in trouble? are you kidding? you can't go to a car wash in america? tell me how you can't social

distance at a car wash. of course you can. meanwhile as officials way in on this case it's pretty clear, this judge is out on a limb and he is virtually alone. listen. >> she ought to be released immediately. we are hoping public pressure and shows like this can highlight the injustice that's happened to this mother. >> whether a this judge did is a total disgrace. if is he a man, if he is a man, he will step up tomorrow or friday before mother's date let her out of jail this is injustice. if this continues across america. we are going to have trouble. so you have to let these people get back to work. brian: yeah, they did. dan patrick did a great thing as governor he paid the fine. ainsley: $7,000. brian: really ainsley on mother's day, she is going to spend it in prison for having

the audacity for trying to keep her business alive and her hairdressers and nail experts, i don't know what you call them. manicurists? i don't get that done anymore. ainsley: mani/pedi. brian: all those people want to earn a living. social distancing. give people a chance to open up their businesses responsibly at the same time they are opening up the economy in a smart way, let the scientists do their thing, let the americans do our thing. that's my hope that we get out of this. but take it away, ainsley. ainsley: you know, and maybe this judge, after hearing all this backlash, will make a change, have a change of heart. if he is listening or she is listening, then it's man, right? i don't know the judge's name. but, if he is listening, i hope that he will let her out of jail for mother's day. come on. she will be in there for mother's day. he should have just given her community service and called it a day and that way she would still be giving back to the community. she would still be able to work. but, her business is allowed to

open on friday. so at least let her out on friday so she can come back to work. maybe give her two days, three days, whatever the remainder is of community service and let her come home to her kids on mother's day it. shows you like you guys were saying half a million dollars already been raised for her. that just shows you how america feels about this woman. anyway, we wish her all the best, god bless her. go ahead, steve. steve: i think you touched on it right there, everybody puts themselves in her shoes. what would you do? would you reopen to feed your family or are you going to go jail? and ultimately she chose jail-timjail.for the folks watct now, email us and tell us what i about this. ainsley: one more thing. -- steve: one of the people we heard about yesterday is about to appear on the program talking about her salon coming up shortly. ainsley: steve, one more thing i want to add to that. we are interviewing all these people saying they are letting

criminals out because of corona. yet, this lady wants to work. she has followed the rules up until now. her area, she feels like, is safe. she is doing it properly. did you see the images of the chairs outside where people are waiting in line and 6 feet apart? steve: yeah. ainsley: she is doing it responsibly. meanwhile locking her up but letting other criminals out. it doesn't make sense. steve: it does not. all right. coming up it is 6:17 in the east coast. coming up an american captured in venezuela shown on state tv giving what they call a confession over a failed raid. congressman michael waltz says there are serious implications for the united states and he is coming up next. stuffy nose clo.

brian: two americans being held in venezuela after what the dictator nicolas maduro called a failed coup attempt. captured former u.s. green beret leukemia denman taking blame in the alleged role in the botched attack a confession. while the trump administration denied any involvement. mike pompeo says they will use every tool available to help get their release. now in the national guard colonel michael waltz. this is embarrassing? >> this is terribly planned, brian. i'm shaking my head. clearly these guys watch too many rambeau movies, i don't know. at the end of the day, this does have very serious implications. this plays right into maduro's hands. plays right into his propaganda machine. and now clearly he is going to use it for additional leverage in dealing with the united states. and these guys are now on top of the five american hostages he

already has detained. they were oil workers before. but, just a terrible situation. and i don't know what these guys were thinking. brian: venezuela now has a few chips to play when cuba, iran, and china are pretty much all over that country. they are shipping their gold out of the country. the people are starving. what's the end game? >> yeah. and the russians are -- the russians are in there as well. we can't overemphasize how many cuban security and intelligence officials are there propping up maduro's regime. and this whole episode this keystone cops episode plays right into his hands for his propaganda continue locking down his state in oppressing those people. right? at the end of the day, he has got to go. but this just isn't helpful at all. brian: absolutely. so, meanwhile, let's pivot over to china. tensions between our two countries hitting us beyond belief. you focus in your column on what

the chinese do at u.s. colleges. they have 400,000 chinese citizens in our colleges. we just want to educate them and maybe let them understand the greatness of capitalism. how is that going? >> yeah. so, one thing that i'm hoping in the wake of corona in all of this is a real awakening and a wake-up call for all americans that the chinese communist party are not our friends and they explicitly seek to dominate the united states. they are going too by stealing our technology and dominate us economically and before they do militarily. two things they are doing flooding our research institutes and our academic institutions with hundreds of thousands of chinese students. i want to be clear. these are not bad kids but under chinese law, they have to vacuum up everything they are asked about by the chinese communist party and it goes right to their military. robotics, nano technology, advanced materials, artificial intelligence and on and on. the other piece is they have a

recruitment program called the chinese talents programs that recruits our professors to vacuum up this research as well and send it over to beijing. one of them was just arrested. the head of harvard's chemistry department who had taken over $50 million in defense department and nih research funding but working at guess where in the woul wuhan instituf technology and taking $50,000 a month on that end and just, -- look, i'm tired as a lawmaker providing hundreds of millions of dollars of u.s. taxpayer money that should be funding our advanced research and it going right out the door to beijing. i have introduced legislation to stop it. brian: yeah. of course universities want the money and take it like we actually know their grades more worthy than american students. doubtful in many cases. when are we going to wise up and start getting aggressive. they must be laughing at us at

some level how we continue to play this naive game. columns like yours can make a difference especially with your background. congressman, thank you so much. we will continue to wash this ws and pressure this as get back to school in the fall. >> if not stealing it that way doing it through cyber and buy distressed american companies all of this stop in the wake of this. brian: you got it. it would be great to have some democrats see the danger here. straight ahead, a salon owner seeing her customers across state lines because she is forced to stay closed. a plea to her governor next.

so what's going on? i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh... i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 7 million dogs. nice. and... the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no... itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections. apoquel may increase the chance of developing serious infections and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or pre-existing cancers to worsen. do not use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea. feeling better? i'm speechless. thanks for the apoquel. awww. that's what friends are for.

ask your veterinarian for apoquel. next to you, apoquel is a dog's best friend. it was just a token of our appreciation. and because we know how tirelessly you work. it meant everything to have you stop by. for the past two weeks, our incredible crew proudly served more than 10 million thank you meals to first-responders and healthcare-workers. it was an honor to meet you. an honor to thank you. and it was our honor to serve you. steve: as some states around the country begin we opening for business, one south carolina hair salon owner said she has seen her customers take their business just about 20 minutes away to the state of georgia.

as her salon has been forced to remain closed. brenda quick is the owner of bloom salon spa boutique in achin', georgia and she joins us live. brenda. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. we are making soutwe are aken, . steve: talking about that texas salon owner who was going to jail i told the story how my friend needed a hair cut and he drove 20 minutes to georgia to get a hair cut because he was in a rural area. he actually drove into savanna. you say you don't blame people from south carolina for going to georgia. why? >> well, you know, we understand that they want to get their hair cut. they have color needs. they may be doing zoom conference calls or skypeing with business professionals and then some businesses essential

businesses are open. people are still out and about and they are doing their daily routine and they want to look good and feel good. so, we kind of understand that that's going to happen, but it is disappointing when 20 minutes away. difficult for those girls and guys in the barbering and the hair styling industry that cannot work when others can. steve: yeah. listen, nobody needs a hair cut more than i do. if i didn't have gigantic can of hair spray upstairs belonging to my wife, i don't think i would look this neat and tiedy. just saying. we would all like our barber shops to open all across the country. brenda, what about your employees? i mean, they are in the same boat, too. >> that's correct. you know, we have seven chair salon, six stylists. cosmetology student and front

desk personal. all of them have been out of work sings the 1st. it took a while to get them going with unemployment and to see any income at all. so, pretty much for the month of april, no one received any income. it's been difficult. you know, it's disheartening when we know we are prepared and safe. we have a protocol that's been presented to the governor. and we just haven't heard any movement on it. we keep getting promises but nothing yet. so we're anxious to open. we are ready to open. we have our ppe. we are ready to go. steve: sure, right across the border people can get hair cut in georgia. they take your temperature, wearing masks. you are ready for all of that you are ready to get to work. but you have got to because you are going broke you tried to get some of the paycheck protection money and sba loan and you simply don't qualify. brenda, if things don't happen

shortly, if governor mcmaster doesn't open up the salons and barber shops shortly. what's going to happen to you and your business and the people who work for you? >> well, we are hanging on, honestly, steve. it's tough. i saved for a rainy day. i never thought a rainy day was going to last 40 days. it's been difficult to keep things moving. there are still bills to pay although our doors are not open and we are not making any money. we would love to see things open back up. like i said, we have all our ppe. we have a protocol already in place for guests coming in social distancing. we are ready. let's get this over with. steve: we are all ready but we have got to do it safely and we are relying on the local leaders and that's why the decision is on the desk of governor mcmaster there in south carolina. all right. brenda quick in aiken in south carolina. brenda, thank you very much. good luck to you.

>> thank you, steve. have a great day. steve: you too. meanwhile a new memo shows how broad the scope of the mueller probe was. does it prove the whole investigation was based on something that was not true in the judge is on that case is coming up next. with roundup sure shot wand you don't need to stoop to their level. draw the line. the sure shot wand extends with a protective shield to pinpoint those pesky bedfellows. it lets you kill what's bad right down to the root, while comfortably guarding the good. draw the line with the roundup sure shot wand. roundup brand. trusted for over 40 years. 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

♪ steve: welcome back. it is 6:39 on the east coast on this thursday, may 7th. and you know, ainsley. when i see may 7th. i automatically remember today is my friend todd van duren's birthday. has been, todd. it's not just todd's birthday it's my friend and long-time co-host brian kilmeade's birthday, ladies and gentlemen. happy birthday, brian. brian: yes. right. ainsley: happy birthday. brian: only one of us could get your car and it's todd, right? steve: it is todd. happy birthday, brian.

ainsley: happy birthday, brian. brian: thank you very much. ainsley: we are so glad you were born. steve: you were born. that's right. ainsley: any special plans today, brian? brian: yes. i have special plans to shelter in place with my family like yesterday and the last 30 days. we promise to go out to eat in august when governor cuomo let's restaurants open again. i think we are allowed to walk by a beach that might be good. we just can't stop. we can just walk through a beach. i could probably go to a food store. we might go to the supermarket and walk the right way down the aisle and see if we can find any meat together it will be like a scavenger hunt very unique birthday presenting a lot of opportunities. then we might go to the pharmacy and wait on line and see any prescriptions came in. only two things we are allowed to do. steve: you know what? it will be your first birthday you spend in a mask. so happy birthday. brian: absolutely.

steve: send an email to kilmeade at foxnews.com and wish him a happy birthday as we all shelter in place. brian: really. steve: bring in judge napolitano fox news judicial analyst as he joins us from his location. judge, good morning to you. judge: good morning, guys. steve: judge, let's start with that jail salon owner down in texas, shellie luther. she reopened too early according to the state of texas according to a judge who has sentenced her to a week in jail. last night her attorney and boyfriend were on the channel. listen to this, first. >> she wasn't being selfish. she is just trying to earn a dollar like all of these people who are hurting. this emergency has exposed all the tiny tie rantsz for who they are. they have got this glimpse of power. man, they are going to show everybody exactly what to do. >> her spirits are good. the jail that she is in, everybody is in isolation because there actually is a covid outbreak in that jail. but she is being.

>> good grief. >> yeah. she is a little scared but overall she is ready to fight and she is going to come out with a chip on her shoulder. it's going to be interesting to see what happens. steve: so judge napolitano, did the judge go too far in this case in sentencing her to a week? he first asked her to apologize and she refused. >> he actually asked her to admit that she was selfish. selfish. what is this catechism class in fourth grade? it's not a crime to be -- it's not a crime to be selfish. look. she was not convicted of violating governor's. she was convicted of violating an order of the judge who told her to keep her business shut. that judge has no more authority to close her business than the governor does. neither of them do. shellie is an american hero for

refusing to bend the knee before this two bit political hack in a black robe who decided to manifest his authority over her. she doesn't belong in jail at all. i'm sorry she is there she will be applauded when she comes out for refusing to kowtow to him. brian: judge, this is another symptom of these made up rules in this pandemic by lawmakers who think they are napolitano who are going to fine you $1,000 for not wearing a mask who are going to give you $5,000 fees for or a fines for opening up a portsports bar and trying to maa living even if you are social distancing. this is just the beginning. unless these governors get together and plan of action to reopen these states it's going to be one after another. and the judge will have to say do i put people in prison to back up a rule that a governor drew up on their own? meanwhile, let's pivot and talk about what's happening with russia and what was released

yesterday. we are going to get a whole bunch of transcripts from interviews with 53 different people from the house on the russia probe and then we have the scope memo yesterday. on the unredacted portions, what do you glean from it? >> i was not -- first of all birthday boy. you look younger than the last time i saw you. of course i can't see you because i'm on skype. brian: right. but you look great. >> some things stuck out to me. i was surprised that rosenstein who wrote the memo used the word colluded because that's not a legal word and it basically has an open ended meaning. i was not surprised at the depth and breadth that he authorized mueller to go to. here is the issue. all of this is new. none of this was revealed to the congress in the many, many hearings that congress had. this is going to turn up even more heat on chris wray, the

director of the fbi whose fbi agents were conducting these interviews while not revealing, chris wray not revealing, rod rosenstein not revealing to congress exactly what they were after. they were after anything they could find to undermine the candidacy at the time and then the presidency of donald trump. clear as day from these memos. ainsley: hey, judge, i want to ask you one quick question about that salon owner in texas. would you have even fined her? she is trying to go back to work to make money for her family. he still fined her $500 a day for every day she had the salon open. ended up being like $7,000. >> i would have thrown the case out. would have said the governor doesn't have the right to shut down your business. go about your business, just practice social distancing so you don't get sick and your customers don't get sick. by the way, ma'am, you are an american hero. if i could have, i would have

toilet tri bags and lots of supplies amid this pandemic because it's very important. all of the things vital supplies such as, you know, soap, sanitizer. we have lots of toilet tries: something to boost their day. ainsley: that is wonderful. your mom is doing a great job raising you. she is helping to put them together, too. why did you call them hero bags? >> we are calling them hero bags because i feel you are a hero and these bags are for heroes. that's why i call them hero bags. ainsley: what do these heroes say when you give them a bag? >> they usually are happy and they thank you a lot of times. and so it's very good to see them happy for once. ainsley: now, tyler, so many

people who watch "fox & friends" they are supportive of you and supportive of our veterans. anyone in the military is a hero. you are right. how can we help you so that -- can we give you money? do you have a go fund me page? how can we help? >> so we have two ways -- really three. first, you can go to my website kid time enterprises -- i'm sorry. kid time enterprises.com. ainsley: we have it on the screen right now. >> okay. kid time enterprises.com. ainsley: what are the other two ways? >> that's one way. yes. and then the other way is you can mail us at our post office, which is also on the website. or we have had some people come and drop it off if they are in maryland.

brian: here we go. memo now handling over the russia probe. ainsley: it reveals robert mueller had more authority than we all previously thought. steve: that's right. griff jenkins is live in washington with a look who exactly was targeted on president trump's team, griff, during this gigantic federal fishing expedition. griff: good morning, steve, ainsley and brian. it's quite a look. this is mostly unredacted memo released by the justifiable department showing us then acting attorney general rod rosenstein authorizing special counsel robert mueller in august

of 2017 to go way beyond the initial scope of the russia probe as outlined in may of 2017 which i will show you here was to investigate any links or coordination between the to campaign of president donald trump and any matters that may that arose or may arise from that investigation. deep dive into criminal agencies into will page, manafort, george papadopoulos, michael flynn and fifth unidentified individual for crimes that went well beyond the interference. they are failing to disclose payments from a foreign government acting as unregistered agent of a foreign government. failing to report contacts with a foreign government. as well as making false statements to the fbi. the chairman of the senate judiciary committee lindsey graham had this reaction. >> the legal foundation for mueller's employment is crumbling. i wish a democrat would take this seriously. i supported the mueller

investigation because i didn't know. now i know. now i know why mueller didn't find anything. griff: this as fox news is also learning transcripts of interviews conducted by the house intelligence committee with some 53 individuals in 2017 and 2018 cleared for release but not yet made public showed top officials affirming they had no evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia. a senior administration official telling fox news house intel chairman and lead impeachment manager adam schiff is, quote: in panic mode now. fox is told it is possible we could see some of those 6,000 pages of interviews being released by the committee as early as today. finally, i cannot confirm that it being brian's birthday will add any additional pressure but i will take this opportunity to say happy birthday, brian. brian: right. and, griff, i have not released the scope memo on my birthday. severing on the table as we reflect back on all the years i have been around. i appreciate it. and adam schiff will have a bad day and i hope to have a good

day. adam schiff. thanks so much, griff. adam schiff is somebody who had all this on his table. remember when he came out with all those looks of concern in front of the microphone. we have proof of collusion. how many times would he have actually been candid about where this was going and would have had so much more credibility. how many times did he leave devin nunes out to dry and devin nunes actually was pushed out and was being investigated because he knew where this was going? judge napolitano joined us earlier and talked about what we now know now that the memo is out even though it was redacted. >> none of this was revealed to the congress and the many, many hearings that congress had. this is going to turn up even more heat on chris wray the director of the fbi whose fbi agents were conducting these interviews while not revealing chris wray not revealing, rod rosenstein not revealing to congress exactly is what they were after. they were after anything they

could find to undermine the candidacy at the time and then the presidency of donald trump. clear as day from these memos. brian: think about all the people that were off ramped, ainsley. manafort rotting in prison maybe solitary confinement. roger stone looking straight ahead at prison. michael flynn $6 million in debt trying to get his reputation back. be able to get a job. lost his house. think about all these things. they went in and and probed the trump campaign and they just destroyed it. you can't tell me any presidency wouldn't have been better without this huge distraction, let alone what was around the corner. this ukrainian called led to impeachment. it's aamazing they got anything done. ainsley: they targeted members of the trump tino team they didn't like his agenda. didn't want him to win. a lot of collusion. a lot of his team mexico went to prison and they all have legal

fees. losing houses. families are just stressed to the max why? because they supported a political candidate that people at the top didn't like. those bad apples need to be held accountable. if they did something wrong they need to figure it out because going forward no one else is going to want to get in office. who is going to want to run for president? who is going to want to be a part of the president's team. they will be worried that top people in the government are going to have them arrested or turn their lives upside down because they don't like their political agenda. so much money was wasted. taxpayer money, too, steve. steve: absolutely. and keep in mind, it was bill barr and the department of justice that did release this. he has been very. [broken audio] remember that over the last three years it's been part of the trump administration. i think the most tant lighting part of it aside from those names that those four names we have heard is that fifth page,

apparently involved a person who is either involved in an ongoing criminal investigation right now or was never charged with a crime. so it would be interesting to some day figure out who that person was, brian. ainsley: um-huh. brian: john durham is doing his work. we will see what he has. but that's part of it. you have an attorney general who really wants to get to the bottom of it. meanwhile to another fox news alert. president trump says the coronavirus task force may be expanding its role to help reopen the u.s. economy. >> we will be adding some people to the task force and they will be more in the neighborhood probably of opening our country up. because our country has to get open again and the people want it to be open. we have to open it up safely. it's very respected. people said we should keep it going so let's keep it going. ainsley: six states are easing restrictions today. in hawaii shopping malls and car washes and pet groomers can open

outside of oahu and mayy maui, ? steve: that's right and in maryland elective surgeries and activities opening back up. mississippi aopening parks dine-in coming back in mississippi. certain outdoor recreation will be allowed in the state of vermont under strict guidelines. this includes reopening parks and golf course was but not campgrounds, marines an marine . >> michigan cracking down extending public health emergency along with a state called new jersey to mid june. in massachusetts everyone must wear a mask or face $1,000 fine. even in california, they are easing up a little bit allowing book stores, flower shops, clothing stores and sporting

good stores to open up cush side as early as tomorrow. things are changing just a little. ainsley: think about mother's day if you want to send your mom flowers can you do it online 1-800-flowers and other places as well. sheriff chad bianco, he says, look, i am not going to enforce the state's stay-at-home order. he says people just want to go to work. he says i don't want to make criminals out of business owners. listen to this. >> not only do we not have the resources to enforce unreasonable orders i refuse to make criminals out of business owners, single moms as well as other individuals for exercising their constitutional rights. there cannot be a new normal. we are talking about a country formed on fundamental freedoms of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. any new normal is a direct attack on the basic rights which set us apart and make us the greatest country in the world.

ainsley: he these in the very beginning he acknowledges we were trying to make sure that hospitals were not overflowing. we wanted to flatten the curve. he said that was weeks ago. he said now, as much as he hates it when people in his community is dying or anyone is dying because of the coronavirus. when you look at the stats 2.5 million people who live in this county. they lost 181 residents. he said that is 7/100th s of 1%. steve: exactly. he was appearing before the county supervisors. they were trying to decide whether or not to lift the stay-at-home order. ultimately, at the end of the evening after he had said look, half the cases, the positive cases have recovered. we can't forget that we can't forget about the financial health as well. at the end of the meeting they voted to delay decision on whether or not to keep the stay-at-home order. but, you know, and, brian, you were talking a little bit about how things were getting back to normal in california. keep in mind for the most part

the stay-at-home order is in place. except in those three northern counties, including suder, and modak defied governor newsom's order. the mall opened apparently and hundreds of people showed up at the mall just because they could. and a lot of them were not wearing masks and that was a problem and gavin newsom said ultimately they are making a big mistake by allowing certain places, particularly salons and tattoo parlors to open. meanwhile, of course, it all started, it sounds like, in china. we know that right? well, they were asked yesterday about -- china was asked about the origins and when the world health organization would be able to go in and start to investigate. and china, the u.n. ambassador says we won't allow inspections until a final victory. in other words, until they

finally clobber coronavirus and people are healthy in china. that could be a while. last night on lou dobbs. secretary of state mike pompeo was on the program and said, look, ultimately, we have got to figure this all out. here's the secretary. >> we should get to the bottom of it. what we have been asking for months now to give westerners access to this information. they have an obligation to the world to share this information, open up be transparent. china claims that's what they want. they want to be part of this great sizzles of nations all around the world to do that to be a reliable partner you have to be transparent. they have done the opposite here. they have done what authoritarian regimes do. that's not only caused loss of life so far but it continues to be a danger and threat to the american people. steve: brian, while there is a debate going on about the origins of it, whether or not it was the wet market or whether or not it was the lab, was it man

made? all that stuff. we do know for the most part it seems to be a majority of people, the world experts do say that it started in china they do because of the cover-ups in the very beginning have a lot of explaining to do. brian: not the chinese media. yesterday the state media published several reports. tools and wednesday, saying that a foreign and western origin for the chinese coronavirus, including confirmation of cases in california and in february as well as new jersey. so, they are siding, taking things out of context saying we didn't even have it first. the west had it first. and my hope is that the people of china are too smart and the world is too savvy to actually buy that crap. michael waltz, former green beret, former deputy to dick cheney, now congressman from florida, weighs in. not only on what china is, but what they're doing at our universities. check it out.

>> one thing i'm hoping wake-up call for all americans chinese communist party are not our friends and they seek to dominate the united states. they are going to do it by stealing our technology dominate us economically. before they do militarily. i'm tired as a lawmaker of providing hundreds of millions of dollars of u.s. taxpayer money that should be funding our advanced research and it going right out the door to beijing. brian: what he is trying to say is, too. 400,000 chinese students use our universities. somehow they get in the best of the best. we don't know about their grades or verification. evidently their money is good and check clears. a lot of them are incentivized to steal whatever they can from our lead institutions. we have known about this. we have never said it because the institutions need the money, perhaps. or they want the tuition paid in full. but it's time for us to wise up and it's up to the american people to understand. what i don't hear is any

democrat who used to be very critical of our relations with china saying anything because they feel as though it's letting donald trump off the hook. ainsley. ainsley: that's ridiculous. look, it started in china. if you don't believe that report, why did they cancel travel out of wuhan? why did they make their people stay in wuhan. they wouldn't let them travel. they came here. then after that we saw cases in america. it looks like they tried to cover this up. why won't they let investors go into the lab. they don't want to get sued or blamed. they are saying that our criticism of china is absurd and ridiculous. let us know what you think foxnews.com. in the meantime let's hand it over to jillian who is back in the studio. she has headlines for us. jillian: let's start with this story, one of two americans detained in venezuela now speaking on state tv. the propaganda video showing luke denman taking blame for alleged role in coup of nicolas

think i would disagree with the premise of your question because there is nothing in the aca that requires contraceptive coverage. steve: well, the supreme court hearing arguments via conference call in a high stakes case involving religious liberty. employers seeking to be exempted from obamacare's birth control and contr contraceptive mandated on religious beliefs. joining us right now is sister constance vetconstance veet litf the poor. >> good morning, thanks for having me. steve: in 2016, the supreme court ordered the government and your organization, the little sisters of the poor to find a compromise. and that is what we are talking about right now. it's very clear the little sisters have a moral obligation to providing to their employees birth control that seems pretty simple, doesn't it?

>> well, it's not simple to us because i think the position of the catholic church on contraception and other pro-life issues is pretty clear for us it's a battle that that goes to our very ministry and our faith. steve: what you are trying to do is say look, for our employees we have a morallable gation against providing it. as they said right there they were making the argument that it was part of the obamacare affordable care act, the attorney on your side said there is nothing in the law about that. where did it come from? >> well, you know it was a rule from hhs as they were putting the affordable care act into concrete practice, but, as far as we are concerned, you know, we have had no employees who

have ever raised it as an issue. we have never provided contraceptions or abortifacients as part of healthcare. it's never been an issue with us. i think we believe in the sanctity of human life from conception until natural death. i think that's clearly understood by our employees. and we just -- there is no way that we could defend and protect the elderly and hold the hand of the elderly while they're dying and then on the other hand be facilitating the killing of unimportant human life. so for you very clearly, this is a simple case of religious liberty, isn't it. >> absolutely. it's been a long fight but we are hoping that it will be -- that it's going to be resolved once and for all. steve: all right. little sister, i know that the little sisters have been very

busy with covid and everything else at your homes. thank you very much for joining us and we will keep posted on what the people posted on what the supreme court decides. >> thank you very much. >> in the days and weeks and months ahead. thank you, sister. >> thank you. steve: you bet. all right. 7:24 here in the east. 5,000 people died from covid-19 at new york nursing homes. governor cuomo says they are doing everything they can. miranda did divinen and a diffe response and she is coming up next.

they're our neighbors, and our friends. but now, they are forever our heroes, too. and while they're working to keep us safe, prudential is proud to provide over one million health care workers with benefits that help bring peace of mind in times like these. with benefits that help bring peace of mind stay cool. hot. when it's cold. stay warm. when there's a lot to do. do it all. and do it right. without breaking a sweat. with the comfortable, versatile new kubota lx series.

ainsley: new york's governor andrew cuomo defending the state's handling at nursing homes during the pandemic. >> we knew nursing homes would

be a target. whatever they do they will be a target. our people are doing everything they can do. we have the equipment. we have the staff. they are doing everything they could do. ainsley: the governor's remarks coming hours after the state released new numbers showing more than 4800 nursing home residents have died from covid-19. about 1700 more than previously disclosed. here to discuss is "new york post" columnis columnist mirand. >> hi, ainsley. ainsley: we are all trying to figure this out. and i hate to put so much blame on people that are really working around the clock to try and save lives. the question is why did people that had covid, why were they transferred into nursing home facilities where they could get everyone else sick? >> because that's what governor cuomo forced the nursing homes to do. and it's obscene really that he is not admitting that now. he is still sending them back

there and acting as if there was no choice. of course there was a choice president trump sent the navy ship the comfort. there was the javits center he built both of them near empty. you know, the nursing homes were begging for them not to be sent back covid positive patients from hospitals. and it was just impossible for them. they were short-staffed. how could they quarantine these elderly frail people we have known, governor cuomo has known since the very beginning of this pandemic that those most at risk are the people, the frail elderly and people were, you know, pre-existing illnesses. and nursing homes, of course were going to be the most vulnerable places in the state. and the fact is that, you know, new york's death toll, one quarter of it is from people in nursing homes.

5,000. it's as if they were expendable. and to send the people back to those nursing homes was basically a death sentence for everyone in them. you know, he is still doing it. this is what is so reprehensible. it's one thing to make a mistake in the heat of the moment. it's another to dig your heels in while people are still dying. in this last week we have added another 1700 that hadn't been counted before t to the death tl in nursing homes. stop it. admit you did wrong and fix it. ainsley: yeah. there was an article about a woman whose dad died. he was in a nursing home and she said he was relatively healthy. did not have corona until some of these patients were transferred into his nursing home that did have corona. she started asking the nurses she said we are really not allowed to talk about it legally we were not allowed to ask everyone in though ho came in here unless we had prior information unless family members told us that they were transferred in with covid.

you weren't allowed to ask that. you are not allowed to ask if you have covid or ask to see their medical charts? the question also is why weren't these patients -- why wasn't one nursing home cleared out and then those patients who had covid put in there or why weren't they put on the comfort ship or the javits center? >> well, it's inexplicable. that's what the javits center and the comfort were there for. they were there to take the overflow. they were there to ease the burden on hospitals and nursing homes and anywhere else that had to care for the sick. and to have them empty is really obscene while you had these nursing homes completely overwhelmed. it was terrible. and the fact is that, you know, there are nursing home prioritienursing homeproprietor, whistleblowers now. basically threatened with losing their license. this is what governor cuomo is doing. he is, you know, subtly

threatening them while pretending that it's all fine. and you know, it's all very well for him to go on television with his brother and yuck it up and strut his stuff as new york's most eligible bachelor and so on. he has presided over a mess in nursing homes. he may have done a good job in some other way, i think that his legacy in the pandemic will be the deaths of those so far 5,000 people unless he fixes it right now. ainsley: he has worked around the clock and he is on television constantly every night defending or talking about the statistics and all of that. so you are right, he has done a good job in some areas. we are just trying to figure this out. i hate to make this political. we do have questions and hard for those families who lost loved ones as a result. thanks, miranda for being with us. >> thanks, ainsley. ainsley: you are welcome. police officers facing challenges nationwide as they enforce coronavirus restrictions.

whole lot of unemployed? >> well, brian, good morning and thank you for having us. and so as most people know, we have been [inaudible] going on 8 weeks here. people want to go outdoors and enjoy the beautiful weather. the problem is we are still in confinement and we are trying to keep those inside and keep them healthy, stopping the spread of the virus. we have had weddings that have been occurring on front lawns. businesses that are trying to open up again. we understand that that's what they need that for their existence, their business, to pay their bills. on the other side of it, we are also trying to contain it. we have people that [inaudible] out. we had one of our officers bit by somebody that said they had the covid and spit in the officer's face. brian: that's the new challenge. and then you have got to enforce laws for people that abide by the rules. they just happen to maybe be too close. now don't have a mask.

or maybe they do this horrible thing called sunbathing. lisa, let's go to you now. you say every day is like groundhog day. in what respect? >> well, it's true, basically you wake up, you go to work. and nothing really seems to change. so, i do -- you know, i'm close to the jersey shore in terms of like when we opened up parks and they are talking about opening up beaches. that is going to change how we continue to police. and when they are asking police officers to monitor things like wear masks in new jersey it's not a mandate to wear a mask when you are just out at a park it. is a mandate if you go into a grocery store or something along those lines. right now i have to say in new jersey so far, and i speak to my colleagues on a regular basis, we have not seen a lot of people -- we haven't seen a lot of arrests out of that. or even -- we'll have calls and by the time we get there, why we

are not seeing it. we are not seeing that people are congregating or doing things that they shouldn't be doing. we have a lot of calls on it. i think people are very hyper vigilant right now. people are afraid. so as it gets warmer. brian: gotcha. >> it's going to increase. we have had a lot of dialogue about this amongst the chief about what our personal feelings are and what our professional feelings are bottom line is professionally we don't get the option to pick what laws, rules or executive orders we enforce. we took an oath and we have a job to do. brian: gotcha. let me try -- hold on one second. i just want to be able to get bob in. bob from, your perspective, you said you are lucky only two officers have been affected. no real crime spike so far. what are the challenges with these rules written from afar that you have to now enforce with normally law-abiding citizen? >> well, both the commissioner

and chief gave a pretty good recap of what is occurring in minneapolis, also. the challenge is everybody is out there wearing masks now. so the opportunity is there to commit crime, you know, people are difficult to identify, they have got hoods up. they have masks on, those types of challenges, just stopping and id'ing and getting descriptions of people involved in crimes. we have been very fortunate in minneapolis i call it minnesota nice. incompliance with the order. a reduction of people out to deal with which we have been fortunate. we have taking a coaching approach. we are not doing enforcement. if we see groups together. the officers are directed to just advise them of the health hazard and spread out and things like that. there has not been a lot of proactive enforcement with regard to order violations. brian: right. yeah. commissioner rider, you have a lot of challenges. san francisco handled things a little bit different than you, i would imagine. they have homeless in hotels and they decided since a lot of them

are addicted to drugs and alcohol, let's give them liquor and weed. is that a good move in your mind? >> almost all of the domestic incidents and most of our problems surround alcohol. the worst thing you want to do is confine people into a hotel and give them alcohol and drugs. it's not a party. it's supposed to be a confinement. brian: incredible. what are you going to do when people start opening up their businesses because they don't want to wait for governor cuomo though give them the okay when it's maybe more palatable in nassau county to open up a sports bar? are you actually going to go in and shut that bar down? are you going to go in and shut that restaurant down? are you going to shut down that salon and car wash? >> as you just know we had cinco de mayo and one of our restaurants south of the border opened up and they were serving drinks and food and at the restaurant. we had to shut them down and we had to enforce them and hit them with a summons. that summons is a -- up to a $10,000 fine.

brian: because they want to survive. lisa, you, too. when these happen these horrible people try to keep their business going responsibly, you have to crack down on them, right? >> well, you know, why are going to look for guidance from the attorney general and the governor. we have had a lot of dialogue that comes up through our meetings on a daily basis. they are listening to the local chiefs when they are making these decisions. i'm hoping it doesn't come to that i do want to say, brian, we have had a lot of compliance and our officers have shown a lot of restraint and basically just guided people along the way. and we haven't had an issue where we have had to take any type of enforcement action like i have seen in other states. and i hope it doesn't come to that. brian: bob, when you saw that salon owner get a week in prison because she wanted to open up responsibly and save her business, what would have you done you if you were the officer on the scene asked to keep

everyone compliant? >> we, again, we have got coaching. i thought that was absurd for that type of penalty. we have been very fortunate. they had a similar thing for a hair salon open for a couple hours. officers went down and shut them down. i'm not sure he was cited. if he was cited it's going to be a nominal fee. brian: americans like to work their ways through problems not watch their businesses and livelihoods wither. unfortunately the responsibility is to enforce the rules written from above. i don't envy your job but i certainly respect it. thanks everyone for joining. thanks, guys. >> thanks. >> thanks. thank you. brian: thanks, commissioner. meanwhile go over to jillian mele. you have the other news that is breaking including a big story on our food supply. jillian: tyson foods is set to reopen biggest pork plant following the covid-19 outbreak. the iowa facility is opening doors with limited production

and new safety measures that includes temperature checks and mandatory face masks it. closed more than two weeks ago for a deep cleaning after 444 of the waterloo employees tested positive. tyson is also reopening two other plants in iowa and maine. we will stay on top of that story. in the meantime there is this three marines answer the call for help detaining a passenger. a barricaded himself on a flight from texas to japan. the marines restrained the unruly man with plastic ties when a flight attendant unlocked the bathroom door. the service members taking action because they were worried about the safety of others. the man was taken to a hospital for evaluation. after the flight was diverted to los angeles. now to some trending stories on foxnews.com. first up, healthcare heroes who volunteered to help in new york still have to pay state income taxes. governor andrew cuomo says the state won't give out subsidies because they have a $13 billion

deficit. next, a twitter feud ignites between rocker axle rose and treasury secretary steve mnuchin. unprovoked called mnuchin a name on twitter. the secretary back quote what have you done for the country lately. finally a group of college students connecting farms to food banks. they delivered more than 100 tons of food to pantries in three states. the farm link project helps farms whose food is going to wastwaste because of the pandem. for more news download the fox news app. back to you. steve: great work. good they are doing just that jillian, thank you. it is 12 and a half minutes before the top of the hour and janice dean joins us with the "foxcast." j.d.? >> a lot of big stories we are following. we have record heat across the southwest. record cold and snow on the way for parts of the northeast. yes, you heard right. we had a burst of snow yesterday across portions of pennsylvania

and new york. that is going to continue as we go into friday and saturday. our next round of snow, in some cases 6 to 12 inches over parts of new england. that is considerably amazing for the month of may. and then we are going to potentially see record low temperatures. temperatures in the tents and 30's friday into saturday. for may the 9th and into mother's day on sunday. so that's a huge story we are following. the other big story as i mentioned is the southwest on the flip side of that, extreme heat, record-breaking temperatures for the southwest, and that's going to be ongoing as we head into the weekend with temperatures in the 90 to 100-degree range. so that's your forecast as you head into the southwest. and we have heat advisories in effect as well. so, both coasts we are watching the west coast and the northeast for record-setting cold and record setting heat. so take your pick. and in between the potential for

some thunderstorms for the central and the southern plains. a lot going on in the weather department. we will keep you up to date. back to you steve, ainsley and brian. ainsley: thank you, j.d. texas' top leaders rallying behind a salon owner jailed in dallas. dan crenshaw calls her punishment unreasonable. he joins us live at the top of the hour. plus, do you recognize that baby in the stroller? that is jillian. what she was like growing up. we are going to ask her mom and her aunt. they are going to join us live to celebrate mother's day. that's coming up next. ♪ ♪

"show me what you're made of." so we showed it our people, sourcing and distributing more fresh food than anyone... our drivers helping grocers restock their shelves. how we're helping restaurants open pop-up markets. and encouraging all americans to take out to give back. adversity came to town. so we looked it in the eye.

and it won't be us... that blinks first.

ainsley: fofor many families across the country it will be very different mother's day celebration this year. we decided to show you how we are keeping some of our favorite mother's day traditions alive so you can do it, too. up first jillian joins us with her aunt kathleen to share how they celebrate hey jillian and aunt. jillian: we are having an issue getting my mother up on the screen we are working on that. my auntie kate is so important in my life. in 2002 my cousin dru, her only child son died in a car

accident. i get emotional talking about it. from that moment on my brother and i said auntie kate you always have children news. so for the last almost 18 years we have treated my aunt as our second mother. and last fall in 2019 she was diagnosed with appendiceal cancer. and for christmas i got her a color of the ribbon. i got my one for dad and mom as sisters the two of you wear this as you battle this together and then my ain't got one for me. we all share this really special bond. hi, mom. >> hi. >> we share such a special bond. i'm so lucky to have two mother figures in my life. two mothers in my life. ainsley: sweet story. she talks about both of you all all the time. she spends a lot of time going back and forth from new york to pennsylvania to see both of you. tell us what jillian was like as a child. >> oh, jillian was an easy child. she was, you know, one of these

people that she was always ready to move onto the next phase in life. she was energetic. she just was -- i want to say that she was just mature. i really want to say she was always a mature kid. she was one of these people when it was time for eighth grade she was ready to move on to high school. she was ready to move on to college. she was very easy. she was a pleasure as a child. ainsley: that is so sweet. kathleen? >> yes. ainsley: what are some your memories. >> for me jillian has always been a rock for me. as she said dru died in 2002. and tommy and jillian lived down the street from me. at that time jillian was in school at the university of scranton and she didn't want to be away from home because of the situation for such a long period of time so she transferred down to the south hole lands where she finished her education just to be with the family and be

supportive. tommy and jillian have always treated me as their second mother. i have two other nieces that were so young that they didn't really quite understand it at the time. but, you know, we are a small but mighty family. jillian: annie kate my dad always gets you flowers. mom, surprise, we have delivered flowers to your work for mother's day. >> hi. jillian: we did social distancing of the deliver rift flowers this year from dad. >> thank you so much. jillian: i love you all. we have to go. >> thank you so much. >> back at work. ainsley: healthcare worker prayers for her. happy mother's day. dan crenshaw and joey jones coming up.

restrictions. in hawaii pet groomers can open. brian: in america elective surgeries are starting back up. that's kind of cool. mississippi reopening parks allowing outdoor recreation, dine and services at restaurants, certain outdoor recreation activities will be allowed in vermont, maybe bernie sanders can go to camp and reopening camp and can't go to marina or beach. ainsley: i don't get the marina thing. brian: no idea. ainsley: construction and real estate can start up, that's about all in michigan. in massachusetts everyone must wear a mask when they go out in public. steve: all right, speaking of

going out in public a couple of days frontier airlines was going to -- if you were worried about having somebody sitting next to you on a flight, they would sell you the middle seat and keep that empty for 39 bucks but because there was such an outcry and people you're taking advantage of people's fears, frontier has announced they are not going to do that. ainsley: isn't it the company's responsibility to keep the passengers safe? if you go to a hair salon, that's their responsibility to keep people safe. you shouldn't have to pay for that empty middle seat. brian: i agree. steve: they said we will not charge people for that. let's bring in texas congressman dan crenshaw, former navy seal, american resilience. he joins us from his location. congressman, because you're representing a district in texas i wanted to ask you about shelley luther, salon owner who

said, look, i have to reopen. i know i can't open right now because i have to do it because i have to put food on the table. she was held -- she was issued a cease and desist order. she tore it up famously at public demonstration and in front of a judge the judge says you want to apologize, she said, no. listen to this. >> i have to disagree with you, sir, when you say that i'm selfish because feeding my kids is not selfish. i have hair stylists that are going hungry because they rather feed their kids. if you think the law is more important than kids getting fed, -- steve: congressman, it seems like what every parent would do. we know that a gofundme page has

started and over half a million dollars has been raised for her so far. your thoughts on this? >> the so-called country and so-called leaders across the country arresting and guy in florida sent to court because self-takeout in a restaurant and is happening over and over. is so-called leaders and so-called judges will need to take civics laws. people are not dumb and they can understand whether a law makes sense or really based on data and public health and a lot of these things aren't. we have seen a lot of rules being passed that simple you don't make sense and then they go further, they want to actually punish you, they want to use the full force of the law, fine you, throw you in jail, arrest you, take away your

freedom because you're engaging in activity that was previously perfectly legal. engaging with involuntary transaction with another human being has been legal activity and all of a sudden make it illegal and use the full force of the law to enforce it. that goes against very basic values. i'm all for the guidelines, okay, but the government has to use the lightest touch possible and these so-called leaders are not doing that, they are infringing on people's freedoms all while by the way advocating to allow other criminals who have previously been in jail to be released. it's contradictory and what our society is founded upon. brian: i will give you an example, why can't you go to a car wash, why can't a jewelry store open up on mother's day to sustain business, why can't the liquor store be opened and why

can't i go to a super market but i can't go to a sports store? why do they expect people to think it's rationalized behavior? why do they think i can't walk on the beach or sit on the beach? how dare i sit on the beach, i could get a fine as opposed to 66% of the people, people who are sheltered in place. >> they are drunk on power. they think we are stupid. they think we are stupid and drunk on power. this is why you are seeing people rise up. americans are sick of it. sense of so-called leaders, so-called judges, they have a sense that they are not actually implementing the laws because these aren't laws, these are executive orders. they have a sense of not implementing justice as wince it as culture and society. we know that they are doing the right thing and we have to call them out for it. ainsley: dan, congressman, i

know the house is thinking about drafting a new relief bill, nancy pelosi has talked about it being one trillion dollars to help healthcare workers, first responders, postal workers and teachers. what do the republicans think about this and would there be another relief bill and how much? >> listen, first of all, the way we need to assess future relief bills is one problem at a time with one solution at a time. we could have been in congress in the house working this whole time. nancy pelosi wants the american people to believe that we are only allowed to go and work once every 3 weeks and pass multiple trillion dollar bills. here is their playbook, they want you to stay lock down and arrest you if you don't, they want to wait for industries to fail so there's no jobs to go back to and they want to act like rulers and offer you money. whose money is that? your money. it's going to be your taxes that

have to be raised and in 2020, 2020 elections democrats will come back and said look how generous we were with your money. that's their playbook. we have to wake up to this. this is not responsible governance. there isn't some unlimited amount of money to be spending especially to bail out states that have been terribly with their fiscal responsibility this entire time. okay, if you're a member of congress from texas, i don't see how you want to use texan federal tax dollars that we are paying to bail out other state that is have been totally irresponsible all this time. that's the stuff that's going to be put into this. it's going to be enormous. not how we should be governing, discreet solutions for discreet problems. honest debate in the house. that's what we should be doing. we have taken perfectly safe measures in order to do that. steve: congressman, speaking of responsible, a lot of people are wondering were responsible

things being done behind department of justice and fbi to forward the russia investigation and ultimately refound out a little more yesterday when the department of justice released once again a redacted version of one one of the scope memos that rod rosenstein had given to robert mueller regarding what he could look to and among other things, part of the scope memo from august 2nd, 2017 said look for any links and/or coordinations with russian government or individuals associated with campaign of donald trump and secondly, any matters that arose or may arise directly from that investigation. there were four names on it, carter page, paul manafort, george papadopoulos and michael flynn and to a lot of people they we wanted to know what the scope was, how broad was his support? it seems like it was quite broad because some things panned out and a lot of stuff did not.

>> right, and here is the best way to summarize what's going on here. this was an investigation in certainly of a crime. that should terrify americans and the more we find out about the entire probe, narrative that was spun for years, tricking the american people bo -- into thinking that the president was a russian puppet. they had an idea, a conclusion, a crime that they wanted to prove and they gave themselves the power to try to prove it. this is a horrible, horrible precedence to set. this goes against juries prudence, law and process and added on top of the fisa warrant abuse. it's added on top of what we just found out about general flynn and how the fbi tried to ambush him. it's added on top of what we know now about the steele dossier and how it was used as opposed of evidence to investigate the supposed crimes. it should really terrify americans and i hope more people realize this.

remember, you were -- you were dragged by the media through this crazy narrative, this crazy roller coaster for years and it was all house of cards. none of -- it turns out none of it was true and who did this, it was all politically bias. there was all confirmation bias from the doj officials from the obama administration because they hated trump so badly and they -- they thought that they -- they thought that they were exerting some kind of justice against this man but in tend, they were the ones breaking the law and breaking our trust. brian: dan reading your book fortitude, you talk about ban of brothers, i'm wondering how you feel about the fbi sticking together, we are seeing terrible behavior, mccabe and strzok and page, and comey, the way they acted from the seventh floor as opposed to the way that it's really run in the bureau.

why haven't there been fbi whistleblowers and go in the same mind set that you have in the special forces? >> dan: i don't know. i do know a lot of fbi agents that are really great people so i want to give them the benefit of the doubt like u.s. stock market futures just like in the seal team we get bad apples and embarrass the seal community. you have to protect the integrity of the institution. brian: but they are not. >> dan: they should be. i'm agreeing with you. i wish i could tell you more, i just can't. i think they need to man up and actually get rid of some of the bad actors who have clearly bias and confirmation bias and completely thrown away due

process and rule of law to do it. ainsley: congressman, thanks for being here. jillian back in the studio with more headlines. jillian: family of unarmed black man killed at the hands of two white men are calling for arrest. >> we demand that the least that we can ask at this moment that these men be arrested. jillian: amad was shot by two men, they claimed they thought he was a burglar. family says he was out for a job. the story sparked nationwide outrage. it appears to show running when he passes the men in a truck and they tried to stop him. the two men struggling with the shotgun before multiple fires are shot. protests demanding justice for the death.

arbery's mom demanding justice. >> i saw my son come and leave the world, it's not something that i want to see ever. jillian: case will now go before grand jury. overnight 5-mile swamp fire raging out of control in the florida panhandle forcing evacuation of more than one thousand people. the flames raging right next to a highway. more than a dozen buildings are destroyed. today the senate will talk to override president trump's veto of a resolution restraining his actions against iran. the senate vote is expected to fall short of the two-thirds majority need -- needed.

if you ever wonder what's inside the cockpit of fighter jet, wow that is cool. this is how it looks on the ground. navy flight team has been flying across the country honoring those fighting coronavirus. never gets old. back to you, guys. steve: they are so incredibly close. all right, jillian, thank you. it is 8:15 in the east. the white house says americans are warriors during the pandemic and apparently media some members don't like using that warrior word. >> warriors are described as everyday americans. asking americans to put themselves in harm's way like warriors do. >> they are warriors because they stay home. steve: marine joey jones isn't

upset by that word. he's coming up next.

>> i call these people warriors and i'm calling now the nation warriors, we have to be warriors, we can't keep our country closed down for years and we have to do something and hopefully that won't be the case, john, but it could very well be the case. steve: there you see the president yesterday calling americans warriors amid the pandemic prompting this exchange later in the press room. watch. >> you used the phrase warriors to describe everyday americans, basically asking themselves to put themselves in harm's way.

he says americans must be warriors to reopen the economy. >> we are saying the exact same thing. the president is saying warriors to reopen, guess what, you have to social distance. steve: here with reaction we have retired marine corps bob and joey. ,joey, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: his army is america as we try to reopen the country. >> we are, we are a warrior culture and that's not a bad thing at all. the warrior is the one willing to stand up and defend and in the warrior culture you don't get to choose when the enemy tax and you put on arm or and sharpen your sword and you stand

guard and most importantly you live your life and what trump is trying to say here you are not going to get to choose when we quit fighting enemy but doesn't mean quit living life. i think it's a great word to use and really disheartens me that in 2020 journalists are offended being called warrior. steve: why do you think that is? >> i think it's fear, certain amount of passivism and we are consumed by phones and sacrifice scares people to death. they confuse the fact that is we are free and wealthy with the idea that we don't have to earn it or pay for it anymore. so what i mean by that it does take selfless sacrifice. look at all of the medical workers that are country the country to go to new york and work and now taxed to death and sacrifice to keep the country going and some of the sacrifices by staying home and now we will

put on our armor and stay 6 feet apart and wear masks and live our lives and take care of our family and sacrifice the risks that might come with that in order to keep this country going in our -- and our families fed. steve: how many times we heard people say the experts and it was never called into question. we have to fight the disease. we've got to fight to stay safe. we've got to fight to reopen the country when you look at the data and you do it safely and there are certain members of our society whether they are elderly over 65 or they have preexisting conditions. we've got the fight to keep them safe. this has been a fight since the get-go. >> joey: it is and we keep using misnomer, certainly the hospitals are the places where virus is more prevalent. we are all in the front lines.

this was an enemy that was brought home and we need to make decisions and be responsible. the biggest problem here that a lot of journalists an democrats as well don't have as much faith in the everyday american as i think and the rest of us and the president does to do the right thing to keep themselves and family safe and take risk and mitigate it. congressman crenshaw was talking about that. doesn't take courage to tell somebody that you'll lock them up, but might take courage as politician to acknowledge citizen to go out and live lives responsibly. if that means we are warriors, i will proudly wear that badge again. steve: indeed, we knew that you were from a warrior from the get-go. joey jones, joye, thank you very much. jobless claims report is about to be released in exactly 5 minutes and 21 seconds. we will have the numbers coming

ainsley: rv sales are on the rise as americans seek vacation while still following social distancing guidelines. hey, jeff. jeff: hey, ainsley, i didn't see this coming but i guess i should have. this is the perfect way to socially distance and see the country.

you can't keep up with the calls you're getting now. >> no, we can't. we've actually been amazed by it. we are reacting more to ground swell of customers contacting us and we are opening up further and further and filling the way it goes. jeff: show me the lot. you have a lot of stuff on the lot and that's good. we are socially distancing. i have long arms so my microphone is extended as far as i can. >> yes, this area is our travel trailer row and couple's unit, new design. jeff: perfect thing because you don't have to go to a hotel and you can be in your own little world, right? >> we've got a lot of new customers. jeff: speaking of new customers miranda lambert, one of our favorite country singers just bought an airstream, she tweeted about it. >> those are beautiful units. that's good. she's getting out there like the rest of us and distancing but

still enjoying nature and that's what this does for you. jeff: she says her tour bus is parked right now but this is a way to really see america and this maybe the year of staycation. >> from what we are seeing, i believe that to be true. jeff: i let you get back to the phones, beautiful day in indiana, beautiful day to rving. ainsley: is there a long wait for them? jeff: they have the stock right now but they are trying to socially distance and trying to do things without human contact so it takes a little longer but, you know, they are out here, they are ready. ainsley: thanks so much, jeff. okay, brian, over to you. brian: don't touch each other. in the months leading up to memorial day fox nation is sharing stories of our nation's heros, korean war is often called the forgotten war but not by the men who fought in the

war. retired colonel spent more than 30 years in marine corps and remembers what it was like to be in the front lines in korea. >> we did what we were told, we did what we were trained to do and that was to fight. yes, we were fighting for our buddies, fighting for our country, fighting for the marine corps and we were always fight to go survive. brian: yeah, they. >> almost pushed out peninsula and fought their way back. he joins us more on the colonel's incredible story for the month of may. hey, fill us in. >> i'm glad one of us could make it to the office today. [laughter] brian: sorry. >> we have done a lot of the interviews with marine veterans and they're always fascinating but colonel was perhaps the most because he's a man in his 90's and fought in the war 720 years

ago and teaches school kids about experiences in korean war and those experiences were brutal at times, this series real marines that we have been doing for fox nation is documentary style long-form interview with the war heros who fought some of the nation's most difficult battles, these are veterans who fought in conflicts and stories of sacrifice and survival and colonel weidhan was one of the impressive men. we sat down at marine corps museum and discussed what he went through and what you're looking at there is the cold that they dealt with, brutal cold conditions and so many marines were suffering from frostbite because they weren't necessarily prepared for winter weather that was 30, 40-degrees below zero but what's most fascinating about the interview is hearing firsthand from someone who fought in the war so long ago and can teach us about

what the experience meant to him and to his generation and to our generation moving forward. brian: yeah, this about this after world war ii we deescalated and drew down and then what happened the north invades the south. war is on, we almost -- we go in and try to help and push them back and then come the chinese. it was brutal. listen. >> we walked up and shook our hand and looked us in the eye and said without you i would not be here. we said, sir, why is that. he said my mother and father were in the refugee group and evacuated because of your sacrifice. >> rick: that was a terrific moment. the other thing that really struck me and you will hear it in the piece. he's sitting in a bar in california with a buddy of his and someone comes up and says

are you guys marines, yeah, why, well, because you better get back to camp because you guys are going to war in korea and he looked at them and he said, where is korea, he found out pretty quick. brian: yeah, he did. had to scramble and korean war because of mash but guys that really fought. rick, thanks so much. by the way you can sign up for rick special and fox nation today and get your first month for 99 cents and purchase year long plan you get a copy of american crusade by our own pete hegseth who has tattoos on the cover. thanks so much, rick, appreciate it. meanwhile fox news alert now, just in, weekly jobless claims report, came moments ago, 3.2 million people filed for unemployment, tammy bruce will be here to react. that's roughly what we thought. horrific it's a new day for veterans all across america.

home values are up, and mortgage rates are at record lows. that's good news for veterans with va loans. that's me. by using your va streamline refi benefit, one call to newday usa can save you $2,000 a year. that's me. there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. that's me. put your va home loan benefits to good use. call my team at newday usa.

brian: we are back with fox news alert. jobless claims 3.17 million as the economy continues to reel over the coronavirus crisis. it's all self-inflicted. steve: that is slightly more than economists predicted. they had been going with 3 million. meanwhile 33 million americans so far have filed for unemployment status since the start of the pandemic which was 7 weeks ago. all right. let's bring in tammy bruce, fox news contributor, president of the independent women's voice and host of get tammy bruce on fox nation, tammy, good morning to you. tammy: good morning, guys. steve: you know while that's a gigantic number, 3.17 million, it's half of what we were at the

end of march and economists are suggesting that maybe while these numbers are terrible we will see a crest to this wave coming up this month. what do you make of this gigantic number but still only half of what it was just about a month ago. tammy: well this is one of the problems when you have credential class looking at numbers in piece of paper. every single one of the numbers is incomprehensible, over 30 million individuals who were working not just for themselves but for their families, maybe their own business, maybe at a job they just got, maybe in a career that may now be over, every one of those numbers of the 30-plus million people, imagine them around -- standing in one space where you could view them, it's incomprehensible, but this is the problem when people are the budget, when people are seen on budget sheet or some kind of a

list and even when dr. fauci just a few days ago, they were talking about the job's numbers and how horrible they were and he said it was inconvenient. well, look, these are now people's lives, we understand this, we understand the severity of what's going on. we clearly have proven ourselves and as the president says as you talked with joey, we are warriors, warriors is defending the homeland but also recognizing that the american citizen is not an infant. our lives is what makes the country great and so does -- shelley luther, salon in dallas, women who work to some degree freelance in her salon, all of that she opened in defiance of the order because she had to feed her children. there's a gofundme for her that now -- you guys -- i think breached $500,000 and that is a statement from regular americans

hanging on that this is what matters to us, our lives, our business and as a result our country in the future. ainsley: people say we need to open our country back up but de blasio who is the mayor of new york city says i can't open up because we don't have the money to do that. listen. >> people are either acting on furloughs and layoffs or preparing for furloughs and layoffs are the exact people who have been the heros in the crisis who we need to be celebrating and supporting, first responders, healthcare workers, the educators, how are we going to support these people who we need if we don't have any money. i've lost $7.4 billion already and my economy can't come back until i get that stimulus. ainsley: tammy, what's your reaction? tammy: you know, he also said that it was essentially a threat that the nation's economy was not going to rebound in a message to president trump

unless new york's economy rebounds and until he gets the federal money, that's just not going to happen. he's not going to open until he gets money from the federal government. again, attaching that to the national recovery, now maybe this has been the presumption all along but both new york state and new york city and i have remained in manhattan have been in financial dire straights for years. early last year, experts were say if there was a surprise or emergency new york city and state would be in desperate trouble financially and would need to go bankrupt. the mayor since his tenure began has been increasing the size of government by double digits. they spend -- it's like, you know, drunken sailor dynamic. at least drunken sailors spend their own money. this has been march toward bankruptcy and inability to

continue without any recognition that you will have to deal with it and now this is his answer, to essentially hold new york city hostage. brian: telling off the president not really a good thing to do by the way and attacking him personally, was -- just shows how ridiculous he's as a mayor. tammy, thanks so much. we are saddled with him for another couple of years. meanwhile jillian mele, pleased to toss to her, final time this morning. what's the news? jillian: good morning, we start with this, new survey revealed two-thirds of coronavirus patients in new york were sheltering in place at home before being hospitalized. >> 66% of the people were at home which is shocking to us. jillian: fox news medical contributor says this proves it's time for new yorkers to get back to work.

>> governor cuomo you originally said may 15th, i have a miami for you, let our people go, let some of our people get back to work, transit workers are not spreading this, people at work are not spreading this. jillian: new york city mayor de blasio is considering laying off or furloughing workers if no stimulus as they talked a while ago. the law requires convicted felons to pay outstanding debts in order to vote. the judge to make decision on preliminary ruling saying description that some can't afford. some states are looking for relief. comes as nearly 20,000 licenses are issued without a test in

georgia. and brian isn't the only one celebrating a very special birthday today. >> yeah. [inaudible conversations] jillian: fedex driver goes out of his way to surprise a little girl with birthday cupcakes, delivered packages to indiana home when he found out she was celebrating sixth birthday in quarantine and then went to dairy queen to buy treats for her whole family. brian, i didn't buy you any treats. brian that's okay. i'm not a 6-year-old in a dress. steve: already there's a little girl that turned 5 yesterday down my street, great big sign, happy birthday emilia, honk to say happy birthday and, of course, i did. jillian: sweet. steve: i know. meanwhile janice dean proud
