10:01 am
leland, it's great to be with you. leland: i thought you were going to say it's an honor to be with me, a little bit of a stretch. [laughter] happy mother's day to those who are watching. i'm leland vittert. steven mnuchin also saying the administration is keeping a close eye on the states that are already loosening restrictions, and there are a number around the country. david spunt with that from the white house. hi, david. >> reporter: good afternoon to you. house members are going to be coming back to washington this week to the capitol to get business done. they are poised to start talking about a phase four relief bill for the american people, a package to help local economies, state, local governments, also small businesses. president trump said that he's in no rush, he wants to make sure the money goes to the proper places and makes sure that it's allocated properly. now on friday we saw numbers, leland, that are very difficult to accept for many, the worst jobs report in u.s. history. almost 21 million americans lost their jobs in april, pushing the unemployment rate to 14.7%. that is the highest since the
10:02 am
great depression. as you saw, treasury secretary steve mnuchin joined chris wallace this morning on "fox news sunday" to talk about that possible phase four relief package. listen. >> we just want to make sure that before we jump back in and spend another few trillion of taxpayers' money, that we do it carefully. >> reporter: i'm also following this story here at the white house that several staffers have tested positive for coronavirus in the west wing over the past week. three doctors on the coronavirus task force are now self-quarantining, you see them right there, commissioner steven hahn, dr. anthony fauci with the task force, agent cdc director robert redfield. all three came into contact with a staffer who tested positive. this week we know of two reported cases, the first a naval aide to the president who serves as a personal valet. the second, the vice president's press secretary, katie miller, she's in isolation. she put out a statement on twitter thank people for their well wishes. she was a frequent attendee at
10:03 am
coronavirus task force meetings. she's married to stephen miller, a senior aide to president trump. fox news has also confirmed first daughter ivanka trump's personal assistant tested positive though she is not a white house employee and has not been on the white house ground in months. coming up on tuesday, in just two days, those three doctors you saw right there, they are expected to testify in front of the senate. dr.s redfield and hahn are going to do so remotely, dr. fauci said since he's under a modified quarantine because if he had what he's calling limited exposure at the white house, he's expected to testify in front of the senate, but we're probably going to see him with a mask. leland, also staffers here are at the white house are to telework when possible. leland: david spunt at the white house, thank you. >> reporter: you bet. leland: the rest of secretary mnuchin's exclusive interview with chris wallace on "fox news
10:04 am
sunday, requests a -- a lot of news right after our show, 2 p.m. eastern. gillian? gillian: well, vice president mike pence now weighing in on general michael flynn. the national security advisor president trump says lied to the vice president about his interactions with the russian government. during the campaign. in a surprise move, the vice president now says he'd be happy to see general flynn back in government service. mark meredith has more on that. mark? >> reporter: good afternoon, gillian. michael flynn's lawyer is speaking out just days after the justice department announced plans to drop the case against the former national security adviser. flynn had pled guilty to lying to the fbi about his conversations with the russian ambassador. president trump fired flynn back in 2017, that was early in his presidency. the justice department though has since reviewed the case, re-examining what motivated the bureau to focus on flynn to begin with. flynn's lawyer discussed the developments exclusively on
10:05 am
"sunday morning futures." >> he's, obviously, very grateful to the attorney general and mr. jensen for having the integrity to dig for the truth and to get it out to the american people to see. and he is looking forward to spending time with his family. i'm sure he'll have a statement to make sometime in the near future. >> reporter: vice president mike pence folk he's speak out already about the flynn controversy. he told axios on hbo he'd welcome flynn back into the federal government. >> i believe the decision by the justice department lays bare what was, what was clearly prosecutorial abuse. and for my part, i'd be happy to see michael flynn again. >> reporter: now, former president obama weighed in on the case during a conference call with former aides last week. portions to of the call eventually leaked out on to yahoo! news. obama said the developments surrounding the flynn case were being downplayed.
10:06 am
>> you begin to get worried that basic not just institutional norms, but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk. >> reporter: now democrats say they're outraged with attorney general bill barr over the flynn developments. two democratic senators want the justice department's inspector general to review the decision. house speaker nancy pelosi, she went even further in her statement, writing: attorney general barr's justice department is dropping the case to continue to cover up for the president. now a judge still has to sign off on this motion that would eventually, you know, end this case, but we are told from flynn the's lawyer that that could happen as early as this week. gillian? gillian: maybe not doing any -- won't be serving any hard time, but he does, sadly for hum, walk away with the unenviable distinction of having been fired by two consecutive american prime ministers. mark divot, thanks for that
10:07 am
report. leland: a little more on what's ahead legally. andrew, good to see you. as always, if you were the attorney for james comey or peter strzok or mr. brennan, would you be worried about possible criminal charges? >> yeah, i would. this is extraordinarily serious misconduct that has been exposed. and if i'm hooking at this case, really the only thing i look at and say who's going to be fired, who's going to lose their law license, and who should be criminally indicted. this is crystal clear misconduct by by the prosecutors, and the question becomes who's policing the police, and who's policing the doj. leland: specifically when you say misconduct, you're referring to what the fbi did. >> specifically what the fbi did with respect to michael flynn was they set out under the pretext of trying to get him to lie under oath. leland: andrew, how many times
10:08 am
has the fbi gone in to set perjury traps? it's why lying to the fbi is a crime. why you don't talk to the fbi without an attorney. >> absolutely, but this was different because the investigation into flynn was basically concluded. they have the transcript of the call between flynn and the russian ambassador, and to actually have it in notes, the fbi saying one of our goals is to see if we can entrap this guy and get him to lie, that's something prosecutors can't do. they can't fit a square peg in a round hole, and that's exactly what they did in this case. leland: that is the conservative republican trump view of this. and, obviously, there are two vastly different world views to the to the same set of fact patterns that exist here of whether you're a supporter of michael flynn's or not and some of his other behavior or not. he pled guilty to a crime, and this is what "the new york times" had to say about this
10:09 am
latest development. last year mr. flynn asked a federal judge to throw the out his conviction because he claimed the prosecutors and fbi agents on his case had engaged in misconduct. the word you used. the judge rejected his request finding that the agents did not entrap mr. flynn, and the report by the inspector general found the bureau had sufficient evidence to investigate mr. flynn as a part of its inquiry into the trump campaign ties to russia even as the report was sharply critical of the fbi a's broader handling of that investigation. to review, now the fbi is saying they cannot -- what misconduct did they not know about when that was, the judge made that decision that barr is now bringing out here? >> it's the handwritten note -- leland: as it relates -- hold on. as it relates to the note though, are you saying that nobody knew about those handwritten notes? the inspector general didn't know about those handwritten
10:10 am
notes at the time a year ago? >> at this point i don't think we know, but i think what's crystal clear is we have to peel the onion, we have to look under the hood to basically see who knew what when. remember, this is the -- leland: isn't that john durham's job? >> no. no. quite frankly, it's the fbi's job to make certain that these sorts of documents don't exist, make certain their fbi agents aren't entrapping innocent people. leland, this is a war hero. this is somebody who served his country for 33 years including leading the afghan war,, at least a big part of it. you don't treat innocent people this way, and now it's being exposed that, unfortunately, this is a long pattern of the fbi engaging in this sort of conduct. leland: all right. andrew, appreciate it. have you back when mr. durham's report comes out. good to see you, sir. gillian? gillian: georgia's attorney general is pledging to investigate how authorities handled the murder of ahmad
10:11 am
aubrey, the moments leading up to young man's tragic and unnecessary death. steve harrigan joins us from atlanta. >> reporter: gillian, that new video obtained by the "atlanta journal-constitution" shows security footage about a block from where the shooting took place. it's hard to exactly identify who is in the video, but it may be ahmad aubrey walking around an open construction site for about six minutes and then leaving empty handed. it was just then the police got called about suspicious activity. when shown this video, aubrey's father said why weren't authorities called, why was he instead hunted down like an animal? of course, that pursuit took place and was captured on cell phone video. it showed trevor and greg mcmichael pursuing him in a pickup truck. the father had a handgun, the son had a shotgun. three shots were fired and aubrey was killed.
10:12 am
the district attorney, the second one on the case, said this was a justifiable homicide, told police not to make an arrest, that it was an attempted is citizens' a arrest by the two men and that they fired in self-defense. it was only 74 days later the two arrests were made. now, even after the arrests and first appearance in court to charges of murder, there are still protests going on across the u.s. the prominent musician jay-z and many others are called for a special prosecutor, and around the country two runs are going on, a memorial run, 2.23 miles to mark the date of the murder, february 23rd. gillian, back to you. gillian: thanks for that, steve. this case, obviously, becoming a -- very quickly a lightning rod case here in the united states. we'll be tracking it all afternoon long. thanks, steve. leland? leland: watching this in north carolina where a sheriff's deputy's been fired, faces possible criminal charges. authorities say he was off duty and led a group of armed citizens into the wrong home
10:13 am
while searching for a missing 15-year-old girl. the mom of the teen who opened the door had this to say: >> i wasn't thinking about me, i was thinking about i'd die for him. i was thinking about i needed to protect him. leland: a lot more to come out on this. the missing girl was later found safe. we're also learning that one man died after a shark attack in northern california. the 26-year-old was surfing at a state park in northern monterey bay when park officials say the shark attacked him. the water was one mile in both directions of where the attack occurred will now be closed for five days. gillian: this year lots of moms are spending mother's day separated from their children and families, mothers who are doctors, surgeons, nurses and medical workers all serving on the front lines of the battle against covid-19. one of those very special moms
10:14 am
is joining us now. she's a nurse and a mother of three, she's away from home this mother's day treating covid patients in new york. lisa, happy mother's day to you off the bat. thanks for taking more time away from your family to join us and talk about the work that you're doing. so i understand that you traveled voluntarily from minnesota to new york because you felt that your skills, your health care skills were in more dire need there. that's incredible. >> thank you. yes, i did. i traveled from minnesota if to new york city, and i'm working here in queens. gillian: you know, really elmhurst, where you are, in particular has become the epicenter of all the coronavirus hot spots spread out across the united states. take a minute and just tell us about what you've seen and experienced at the hospital there. >> um, i have is seen a lot.
10:15 am
i've seen the coronavirus at its worst, i've seen doctors and nurses collaborate like i've never seen before. i've seen people lose their loved ones. i've seen a lot. there are a opportunity -- a ton of moms that are away if their kids, there are a ton of nurses volunteering that made the same trip i did or have even come from further to help out, and it's an amazing thing at the same time as a really heartbreaking thing. gillian: tell me about your experience, your personal experience with your kids through all of this. i understand you have some very creative ways that you're staying in touch with them. tell us about that. >> um, my kids -- i miss my kids like crazy e. they are 16, 12 and 7. we facetime a lot, we facetime
10:16 am
every day, every break i get, when i wake up, before i go to sleep, constantly. i spend a lot of time on facetime. i made notebooks, i gave them -- i sent them each a notebook for them to write me letters and me write to them. so i sent those to them, and then they will write back, and my mom will send them back to me and kind of made them my pen pals. they sent me a big box of mother's day stuff last night. so we're just sending things back and forth and spending as much time as we can seeing each other's faces and hearing each other's voices. gillian: i think this is a picture of your mother's day package. it looks pretty awesome. your kids must be fantastic. you know, a lot of -- we've heard a lot about parents who spend all day in the hospital treating patients, and then they go home at night, and they're not entirely sure how much of a risk they pose to their family
10:17 am
members, how to keep them safe at the end of the day. the in -- in a sense, your challenge has gone even beyond that and been more difficult. you don't even have the luxury of deciding when to see and when not to see your kids. you've been separated there from them for weeks now. do you know yet when you're headed home? >> i am headed home early july, and i have been here, next week will be week six. so definitely the longest i have ever been away from them. gillian: wow. well, thank you. this is not, any of this, easy to talk about. it's very emotional, but we really appreciate and learn a lot from hearing about your experiences. thank you for everything you're doing. happy mother's day to you -- >> you're welcome. thank you. gillian: we wish you the best over the next few weeks. >> thank you. gillian: leland? leland: elon musk says his california dream has turned into

documents and the details. >> reporter: there, leland. well, documents show the charge coming out of a california court four days before what appears to be tara reade's haas day working in then-senator biden's office, that's according to a document, her employment record, that she shared on her twitter account. we don't know the amount of that check that was bounced or any more details, but tara had her first major interview on friday since biden denied her claim he sexually assaulted her in a senate hallway in the 1993. reade shared graphic details of her account and also described being forced out of her position as retaliation after she said she filed a limited report with the congressional office over sexual harassment. >> how long thereafter were you fired? >> i would say it was within a month that i was stripped of my duties. i suspect that it got around. but i don't know. >> reporter: new today fox has
10:30 am
confirmed that reade was charged with that check fraud, as we mentioned, just four days before leaving biden's office although it's unclear if the charge was a factor in her departure. we did reach out to readwith e's attorney, he was not responded so far but reportedly told another news outlet there was no connection. biden's campaign made a slew of new hires since that allegation against hum surfaced. "the wall street journal" reporting the campaign brought aboard three senior aides heading into the general election. biden did clinch another endorsement yesterday from california governor gavin newsom who previously supported senator kamala harris, thus adding momentum to his campaign, but biden is still far behind president trump in terms of fundraising. trump's campaign is ramping up attack ads announcing friday a $10 million ad blitz. but a recent are poll shows biden is still ahead of trump in a head to head matchup, widening
10:31 am
his lead to nine points. 60% of voters knew about the sexual assault allegations but were largely split on whether they believed it to be true. leland? leland: jacqui heinrich, thanks so much. gillian? gillian: well, u.s. customs and border protection is releasing new numbers for southern border crossings. they show total encounters at the southern border in april were down a staggering 51% from march. the number of unaccompanied minors down 76%. the number of families crossing the border down 86% and single adults also down 41%. the trump administration says all of this is a good thing. acting deputy homeland security secretary ken cucinelli joins us now to discuss. mr. secretary, here's the thing, the trump administration has, you know, been saying for a while that any reduced numbers of border crossings is a a good
10:32 am
thing. but now we're in this situation where, you know, we're in the middle of this global pandemic. nobody's moving around as much as they used to a couple of months ago. how do you know what to attribute these reduced crossing numbers to? >> well, i would say that part of them is as a result of the cdc or health order that we're enforcing on the border which is allowing us to return about 80 of the people crossing illegally in under two hours. and by return, i mean to mexico. mexico is not just taking mexican nationals, they're also taking people from northern triangle and so forth. so that speed allows us to not bring people into our facilities. it exposes far fewer migrants and exposes far fewer of our employees, and it doesn't leave them as burdens on the health care systems of the border communities. so that's a big, big achievement. and it's very important to keeping america safe from a
10:33 am
public health standpoint. we have had people come across and test positive, and if you consider that we have about 150 people average in our facilities now versus, is say, 15,000 a year ago today, the number of people who would have been exposed under those circumstances is massively higher and would have been an incredible burden on our border states and communities. gillian: well, but again, you know, it's one thing to declare victory because the numbers are closer to where you want them to be, but at what expense? again, you know, in the -- during this global covid outbreak, people aren't traveling, you know, outside their homes let alone across state and national borders from latin and southern america to the united states. so victory at what cost? >> well, it's hard to measure that. it depends what's important to you. i would say that the legal traffic at that border, by
10:34 am
agreement with mexico, has been reduced to so-called essential traffic the which is medical need, economic traffic. we've kept trade flowing substantially. that's very important to both countries. and, again, that's all by agreement. that has taken the traffic down, the legal traffic by about two-thirds. so this is, this is an agreed upon arrangement with mexico, and yet the illegals keep coming. i would say that because we have so many fewer folks in our custody that we can put more border patrol agents on the line, so to speak, so we can better police our border and actually get closer to operational control of that border. and that puts a real dent in the drug cartels, it puts a real dent in the smugglers who really don't care about these people, they're just making money off of them. and it does protect america better than before. gillian: now on friday i had the chance to interview your boss, homeland security chief chad wolf. i asked him about whether president trump's temporary halt
10:35 am
on immigration so far over the last couple of weeks on green card seekers is working to make america healthier and safer. take a listen to what he said. in the last couple of weeks, the numbers and the data that you've seen has the policy helped keep americans healthier and safer and helped get americans back into jobs? >> well, i think it's still a little soon to say that, but i think over the long term it absolutely will help. it absolutely will help spur americans to regain their jobs in the long run. and that's really what we're designed to do. gillian: so he says too soon to tell. dhs is not sure if the policy is working yet. >> well, i wouldn't interpret it that way. i mean also on friday was the april unemployment numbers, and as we continue on a downward economic trend in terms of jobs, the president's executive order
10:36 am
is opening up tens of thousands of jobs that might otherwise go to aliens who are emigrating -- legal aliens -- emigrating to this country. but the president's priority is making sure americans can get back to work as we transition now to reopening america. every part of the country is going to do that in a different way and at a different speed, but the president is committed to getting americans back to work. gillian: deputy homeland security chief ken cucinelli, thanks so much for your time and perspective. we appreciate it. >> good to be with you. you have a great day. leland: rick leventhal with why forgotten experiences during the vietnam war matter now. ♪ ♪ >> in 2015 this little one, hayden, made me a mother. what a gift from god is she has

>> we did. >> reporter: and i think it's important that people hear those stories. >> it is important. leland: all right. that was retired colonel warren opening up to our own rick leventhal about his harrowing experiences during the korean war. rick joins us with more on this series on fox nation, and we said it earlier in the tease that this is the forgotten war in some ways, and i think part of this interview, rick, really sheds light on why we can't forget it or its lessons. >> reporter: very well said, leland. i just spoke to the colonel about an hour ago. he just turned 91, he's doing great. what an honor and a privilege it was to sit down with him at the marine corps museum in quantico, virginia. and he made a point to me today, leland, he said it's the forgotten victory as far as he and his fellow marines are concerned because they won -- they defeated the north koreans and the chinese goal of taking over the entire korean
10:43 am
peninsula. so they protected south korea, and they feel like this was a victory, and that victory had been forgotten. but one of the really cool things about this series on fox nation is that we're able to really let these marines tell their stories, their battlefield if experiences and in this case we have, i think, about 13 or 14 minutes with the colonel. just a fascinating look back at this war that very few people still talk about. but one of the things that he told me about was some of the strategizing and some of the, perhaps, mistakes that were made early on in this conflict. let's listen. >> i think general macarthur made a terrible decision to send us north. he told the media that we'd be home by christmas. matter of fact, my mother and father kept the paper. so it was almost as if he had to do that, the chinese would not have entered the war if macarthur had not headed toward the chinese border. >> reporter: but instead of falling back, the troops moved forward. >> they moved forward.
10:44 am
