of general thing eight days before he left office. >> thursday may 14th a fox news alert, the roster of top obama administration officials who requested the unmasking of michael flynn. >> among the cast of familiar faces, joe biden as we are live with the revelation that is rocking washington. a major helpful for parents about a coronavirus linked to disease making dozens of kids across the country. >> where it is heading hardest and what it means for the push to reopen schools. and socially distance or socially awkward? >> look at that picture, is this the new normal for in-house dining? at one restaurant it certainly is. "fox and friends first" continues right now. >> a rather interesting story. >> we get to that in a little bit. you are watching "fox and

friends first" on thursday morning. thank you for starting the day with us. let's begin with a fox news alert, on full display several top obama administration officials on the list of who sought to unmask michael flynn. >> among them joe biden. griff jenkins breaks this all down for us. >> the list is out, made public by ron johnson and chuck grassley after requesting it from the acting director of national intelligence who declassified it. biden's name making the most ways but the list has 40 names on it including john brennan, former dni james clapper, former fbi director james comey, secretary james, chief of staff liz mcdonagh and former us ambassador samantha power. at the white house donald trump reacted to the news. >> the unmasking is a massive thing. you can believe a thing like this? i watched -- biden knows nothing

about anything and it gets released today he was a big unmask. how do you know nothing about unmask ors. >> the biden campaign firing back blasting the really saying this, these documents have nothing to do with the fbi investigation and they confirmed that all model procedures will follow. and he suggested otherwise is a flat-out lie. what is more telling is these documents were selectively leaked by republicans abusing their congressional powers to act as arms of the trump campaign after having been provided bipartisan official. senator johnson says this is raising questions. >> my standpoint it is curious the vice president of the united states would be requesting unmasking in the case of general flynn eight days before he left office. >> another twist in the flynn case, judge emmet sullivan appointing federal judge john gleason to look at the

possibility that flynn opens up to new perjury charges because he pleaded guilty under oath but now wants to withdraw that plea, solana writes this shall address whether the court should issue an order to show parts by mister flynn should not be held in criminal contempt for perjury. more on that later today. as for grinnell, fox news is sold while he's not likely to testify on capitol hill, we expect more intel from him through perhaps congressional releases as we saw yesterday from senators johnson and grassley. >> the father and son charged in the killing of amaud arbery confronted him 2 weeks before the deadly shooting according to a neighbor of gregory and travis mc michael. diego perez says he helped them search for amaud arbery after he was spotted in this construction site in this video, believed to be the same site seen here today he was killed. the mc michaels say they thought

amaud arbery was a burglar. the family says he was just out on a job. police are searching for the person who left this note at a memorial that reads i am so sorry, i should have stopped them. i'm so sorry. this is called a critical piece of evidence. . >> is terrified of the parkland school shooting back on the job, he was let go over neglect of duty. he was the first supervisor to respond to the florida school shooting in 2018. authorities found him hiding behind his car. 17 people died that day. the police union says miller will receive full backpay and his senior title citing a ruling that his termination violated due process. the sun sentinel reporting that was paid more than 138,$000 in 2017. >> growing concerns that more

hundred children are infected with a rare disease possibly linked to covid-19. >> todd pyro joins us with fears of a potential spike in cases. what do we know about this? >> reporter: this is scary stuff. it is called pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome, pmi us in the cdc is actively preparing guidance for how to track it. the list of symptoms are on your screen, you can see, doctors highlighting abdominal pain along with swollen hands and feet as key indicators of the problem. the rare and potentially deadly condition has hit 100 children in multiple states including new york where it has killed 3 kids so far. >> it doesn't present as a covid-19 case, doesn't present as a respiratory illness which is what covid-19 normally is. it is an inflammation of the blood vessels and then an inflammation of the heart and it is really tricky because these are kids who may have been exposed to the virus weeks ago

and have this almost delayed reaction to it. but it is frightening. >> new york governor andrew cuomo adding that it is unclear when school real presuming his state. four of the state's 10 regions are beginning the first phase of reopening tomorrow. tomorrow a big day for many states to start down the path of getting back to normal as people continue the battle against stay-at-home orders, the wisconsin supreme court striking down such an order limiting how far the governor can go during the pandemic, one new jersey gym owner takes matters into his own hands vowing to reopen next monday. >> we have gotten to the point i have watched so many businesses collapse, i've watched people lose their jobs and there is no progress moving forward. we are ready to take action ourselves, we have fought long

and hard about it and our actions come from the heart with not our best interests in mind but what we feel is the greater good for ourselves, our community in the state and nation as a whole. >> reporter: finally los angeles county announcing a new saver at home order with no end date. the la mayor adding restrictions will be lifted when appropriate. jillian: a big protests schedule that the michigan state house, michigan united for the calling it judgment day rally against the state's stay-at-home order. governor gretchen witness slamming the protest as dangerous. >> this is calls to violence, racist and misogynistic and i ask everyone who has a platform use it to call on people to

observe the best practices promulgated by the cdc and stop encouraging this behavior. >> michigan's stay-at-home order runs through the end of the month. >> resistance to restrictions on the rise in pennsylvania where donald trump is set to visit today, expected to announce a revamp of the national stockpile during a visit to a medical agreement distributed, they are working overtime to supply protective equal into healthcare workers, the president calling for new technology, increasing supplies and private companies to store them in an effort to be less reliant on china. >> earlier this morning in a commercial break, rob was looking at the weather for the rest of the we, excited it is going to warm up. it is going to be -- >> it will be short-lived, sorry. but enjoy it, enjoy it while it lasts. there are better days ahead. let's look at the maps. we had severe weather last night including tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds and a couple isolated tornadoes, this one for west texas just south of mid-zooba land, texas and we

expect severe storms today get across the midwest, the central plains up towards chicago and the great lakes, potential for large hail, damaging winds, heavy rainfall and isolated tornadoes. keep that in mind. the other big story is going to be the chance of tropical formation. this will be named arthur if it gets the name. it will be subtropical or tropical with some characteristics just offshore of florida through the bahamas and it is going to remain offshore but we are still going to have to watch areas along the coast for beach erosion at high waves, high surf in bermuda has to take a look, this is a really for tropical development but we are still going to need to watch that. we had an early storm last year as well in may. very warm across the south, 66 in new york, we will take it, showers and thunderstorms look to continue across the midwest into tomorrow just for you, 80 degrees or more in new york city.

rob: i have no complaints, thank you, appreciate it. 9 minutes after the hour. some pretty amazing and frightening footage, two skydivers spiraling toward the ground after their parachutes malfunction, scramble by first responders to save their lives. >> san antonio in the panhandle, they have their own choice about whether or not they want to go out or stay at home. >> the governor and top prosecutor in the lone star state warning against government overreach in the fight against covid-19. texas congressman lance goodin agrees cities should not enforce rules that exceed state mandates and he joins us live.

>> my list executive order i eliminated the stay-at-home standard.

everybody in san antonio or the panhandle had a choice whether they want to go out or stay at home. >> greg abbott backing his attorney general sent letters to the larger cities and counties in texas warning against overstepping the state's covid-19 restrictions. rob: local leaders say they are trying to make their citizens safe. lands goodin joins us. it seems this would cause confusion. >> it does, the state has said restaurants, businesses have the choice of whether to open up but municipalities and cities don't have that choice, they have to let them do it and liberal cities like austin you have mayors drunk on power, have their plastic bag bands, homeless roaming the streets and said they can sleep anywhere on the sidewalk and they love implement a policy that would never pass in the state house and that is what we have here, we have local leaders issuing

their own directives and i am grateful to them both. rob: listen to the back-and-forth between the state and baer county which is where san antonio is. here's the letter from the attorney general to that county, baer county has issued a local public health order that exceeds the county's lawful authority, act quickly to avoid further confusion and litigation challenging the county's unconstitutional and unlawful restrictions was the mayor of san antonio saying on the merits we are not concerned but it doesn't stop the ag from seeking a cheap political headline. what exactly are san antonio and baer county doing? >> i can't speak to that county but i can speak to austin which is similar to san antonio. osten saying a few a restaurant and are opened up, keep tabs, keep a log, ask for contact

information and if you don't do that we could shame you with the health commission. those are things the city leaders were saying are in compliance but failed to mention direct compliance. i don't know the situation in baer county but i suspect it is a, this is not just confusion, telling citizens to wear masks but it is not required and you can't walk anyone up or fine them for it, we are talking underhanded tactics like forcing restaurants to keep tabs on patrons was no one will go to a restaurant and say here's my address, i will have a hamburger and then shaming these restaurants and scaring them with threats such as we will put your name up and make sure the city knows you are not following, the people in the city know you're not following protocol and stuff like that, the attorney general says this has to stop and we have large cities, not every city is acting this way. go to the city of dallas, not dallas county but the city of dallas which mayor johnson is a

democrat, made a point that this is not a partisan exercise for him. he is following the law, doing what he should be doing keeping citizens safe but not going to war with the governor. you have other cities around the state that love to play politics. they want to enforce whatever they feel is necessary, they do it in the name of science and the governor and attorney general just looking out for the state and restaurants and people who want to go to those restaurants to make decisions for themselves. jillian: have you heard from restaurant owners? >> i have. i have friends in austin. i haven't been there for several weeks but i have talked to people who gone to these restaurants, none are complying with the directive to keep a journal of who goes and eats their with contact information. that is not happening. there are some who have chosen not to open. some are doing it and they are keeping a 25% occupancy. in rural areas in my district it

seems to be this this as usual. they are not packed, senior citizens especially making decisions for themselves not to come out, they want to stay home and remain safe and not get out there but the governor and attorney general and myself believe people can make the decision for themselves and the government doesn't need to tell people how to behave. we've been doing this for two month, we know what is serious and what is not. we know what risks families are capable of taking. rob: we really appreciate it. jillian: small businesses that took out loans from the paycheck protection programs facing a tight deadline to use money or be forced to pay it back. rob: jean marx says a simple solution would provide the ability to lenders and bars, joins us live to explain. s. yoo-hoo, progressive shoppers. we laughed with you. sprinkles are for winners. we surprised you. on occasion, we've probably even annoyed you. we've done this all with one thing in mind.

to help protect the things you love. and if we can't offer you the best price we'll help you find a better one. it's not always the lowest! even if it's not with us. that's how we've done it for the past 80 years. not just today, or this month, but always.

jillian: overnight crews battle a massive wildfire in naples, florida, it went through 5000 acres in 24 hours sitting down alligator alley. the fire spreading dangerously close to a neighborhood threatening dozens of homes and forced evacuations. it is at the represent containment as firefighters expect it to burn the next couple days. look at this terrifying video showing the moment two's skydivers spiral out of control, their parachute failing to open in florida, the two men crashing the front yard east of orlando. both are in critical condition but alert and conscious. rob: that is unbelievable. today marks the paycheck protection program deadline for companies who shouldn't have

gotten a loan in the first place to return that money to the government and the fda issues more lenient guidance the president is not letting up on this. >> any companies that got loans they were entitled to we will go after them. big problems. rob: another deadline is approaching for deserving businesses and it could mean a major problem for those that are still shutdown. here to explain both these issues and solutions, founder of the marx group jean marx, we appreciate it. the first issue is these companies that have this deadline that they took the money that they shouldn't have taken. >> the treasury department issued this rule. in the first round of funding paycheck protection program a bunch of companies that were eligible for the fda loan program but didn't need it

because they had credit elsewhere, they took loans to $10 million and by doing that they took the money out of the hands a lot of deserving small businesses that needed the money more. on the second round of funding, treasury had to step in and say you shouldn't be doing that, you need to return the money by may 14th and a bunch of companies discuss that in returning money even today, the deadline which is what they should be doing. rob: we are looking at 52% of businesses expect be closed in 6 months if we don't get this restarted. you see a problem for businesses that have gotten some of that money coming. >> if you're a small business owner and received the paycheck protection loan you have to be wary that it is just a loan. you can get forgiveness of the loan but that forgiveness starts eight weeks when you get the

money so the clock starts ticking and you apply for this loan. the problem is as you have been reporting for so long, a lot of jurisdictions are closed down so a lot of businesses getting the money and can't use it. how we rehire your employees if your business is shut. a lot of them are making more money on unemployment and the clock continues to tick for these businesses and if they can't pay it back they will owe it back in the form of alone. rob: the interest rate is pretty low. one more topic, the new guidance that will make this money last longer and let's bring it up. any borrower that receives ppp loans of $2 million will be deemed to have made the loan request in good faith. tell us about this new guidance from the small business association.

>> it gives a free pass to any business, the reason for getting the loan is you have to be affected by covid-19 and represent that you've been affected by it. so many loans have been given up and so many larger companies of not done the right thing. we will focus on loans of $2 million, make sure they got it in good faith and if you got less than $2 million we will not bother or assume you took it in good faith and won't go after you. it is a relief for small businesses who are unsure whether they really needed the money now or later, the government will give them a problem. rob: the other problem if you got the ppp initially it is eight weeks and you need another round. thank you for your time, we appreciate it. jillian: it is 26 after the hour.

top obama official selling different stories about unmasking. >> i don't know. maybe it is ringing of a bell. >> in one case i did. jillian: we are live with the trip down memory lane about statements on michael flynn. rob: as election day nears the supreme court taking uppercase that could prevent a democrat power-play. of next guest says if the high court fails to clarify the role of so-called faceless electors there could be chaos come november. we will explain coming up. (music) what happened daddy?

well, you see here... there's a photo of you and there's a photo of your mommy and then there's a picture of me. but before our story it goes way, way, way back with your great, great, great grandparents. see this handsome man, his name is william. william fell in love with rose and they had a kid. his name was charles and charles met martha... isn't she pretty? yeah. rob: back with a fox news alert, exposed, we now know the name of obama administration officials who requested the unmasking of michael flynn. jillian: that list of names goes pretty high up. >> reporter: acting director of national intelligence richard grenell declassified the list in

recent days, 39 names, two republican senators who made it public including tweet 7 high-ranking obama official than joe biden's name is on the list, revealed one day after changing his story about the investigation on good morning america. >> i know nothing about those moves to investigate michael flynn. >> you were reported to be in a january 5th, 2007, meeting where you and the president were briefed on the fbi's plan to question michael flynn. >> i thought you asked if i had anything to do with him being prosecuted, i'm sorry. i was aware there was an investigation but that is all i know about it. i don't think anything else. >> reporter: biden's campaign calling the list a distraction. it also includes former intelligence chief john brennan and james clapper and former fbi director james comey, back in 2017.

>> did you answer senator wyden's question that there was an investigation underway as to connections between either of the political campaigns and russians? >> i didn't say one way or the other. >> you didn't say if there is an investigation underway? >> correct. >> whoever requests the unmasking of mister trump, his associates or any member of congress? >> yes. >> you recall any us ambassador asking names the unmasked? >> i don't know. maybe it is ringing a bell. >> reporter: senate republicans say they will have james comey and james clapper reappear in front of congress to grill him on who briefed barack obama on the russian ambassador. rob: thank you so much. jillian: the 2020 presidential election, the supreme court took

up dual cases that could completely overhaul the electoral college. rob: joining us to explain what this is, president of the judicial crisis network and former clerk, supreme court justice clarence thomas, carry, latest out for people who are confused. >> we normally think of the electoral college happening automatically, my state goes for this candidate or the other in the electoral votes automatically go in their column. however these are people. we elect individuals to cast those votes and normally they do what they are expected to do because those are names given by those candidates that when those votes. however in a few dozen times in american history, what we call safe list electors, the states went for hillary clinton in the case of some of these things and they said i will vote for colin

powell instead and that is what is happening here, state laws that say you have to vote for who you are pledged to. the question is does the constitution make these electors true free agents and say you can choose how you vote for is it something states can force them to vote the way they pledged to initially? jillian: what is the big picture concern? >> reporter: it is good the court is hearing it because you don't want them to be listening to these cases in the context of an election where those shifted electors could change the outcome of the entire election and have a situation like bush versus gore with the election waiting on the supreme court for a decision. there have been movements to try to shift who these electors vote for. in 2016, some people involved in this were part of a group called south hamilton electors, finding third candidate they could at

the last minute agree upon, democratic electors leaving, clinton and some of the trump electors leaving trump. it was a really interesting attempt but didn't succeed. however they have to clarify this so you know is that something you have to worry about? you have to be careful in venting the people they put up as electors especially in mind of these movements to undermine the normal electoral college system. rob: let's get onto a second topic, the state of kansas, ordering is this to keep track of their in person customers during this pandemic. this is basically forcing businesses to do contact tracing. is this a violation of our freedoms? >> it is concerning because it implicates a lot of potential -- are you going to have the list

of all the doctors you go to, this is disposable under the kansas record act so this could become public because of medical providers you attend, religious services you go to, supreme court has argued spoken about the importance of maintaining private lists and organizations that advocate for things, naacp won a case keeping the membership private during the civil rights era where people were attacking organizations so much, those list of people attending meetings going to be disclosed? it is concerning invasion of privacy. jillian: you hear doctors talk about contact tracing but wonder how they are going to do it without violating freedom. an interesting conversation, thank you for joining us. rob: we will be right back. and here's one small way that you can help them in return. complete your 2020 census today. 2020 census data helps communities plan funding for hospitals, clinics, and emergency services

across the country. an accurate count helps public health officials know who is at risk, and first responders identify the resources they need to protect our communities. complete your census at 2020census.gov and help shape our future.

jillian: the senate sets to vote on fisa reforms restricting

government access to people's internet history and give more protection to those being surveilled. it has been at the center of controversy after was used to surveilled trump campaign errors. rob: and ousted vaccine expert set to testify before house lawmakers, doctor rick bright writing our window of opportunity is closing. if we fail to develop a national coordinated response based in science i fear the pandemic will get far worse. he filed with the complaint claiming the administration ignored his warnings about the pandemic. he was assigned to a lesser role because he refused the president's push to use antimalarial drug hydroxy chloroquine to treat covid-19.

jillian: growing concerns about the accuracy of a test used by the white house. rob: a new study accusing abbott labs rapid diagnostic tests given false negatives, how the company is defending itself. jillian: the tests are made by abbott labs, it promised to deliver a positive result in 5 minutes, negative result in 13 but according to nyu researchers it missed 50% of positive results. medical experts compared it to another test, two aids tested positive for coronavirus. in a series of tweets abbott labs respondent, no test is perfect, we deliver lorillard -- reliable results when and where needed most, the test is performing as expected by the 1000 plus using id for covid-19. there a lot of testing protocols out there. abbott is not so quick to jump

on us right now. >> what is mcdonald's doing as we hope to be back in restaurant at some point? what are they doing? >> mcdonald's giving us details and pictures how restaurants will look post coronavirus, seating in some tables will be closed for social distancing, more cleaning, face coverings and gloves for crewmembers, they will make tasks available for customers where recovered depending on to your state. expect to see wellness checks, social distance stickers on the floor. we've seen that in new york, protective berries where you place your order, enhanced employee training and start, parents with the play places are going to be closed. you thought you were going to get the kids that were to play, 99% of mcdonald's restaurants stay open with carryout and drive-through, they have 14,000 restaurants worldwide so this is going to be we will get there. it will take a while but mcdonald's is back in business,

they have different tries. >> thank you so much. mechanics doing some fine-tuning out of sunday's big nascar race, return to darlington raceway in south carolina and some front-line heroes will serve as grand marshals. live with what you can expect in and off the track. >> that story when we come back. staying connected your way is easier than ever.

>> fallout over the flynn cases the names of which obama officials his unmasking are finally released to the public, we will go over all that we will hear from lindsey graham. what is he going to do with

these names? what questions does he need answers because technically this is all legal, senator and paul went off yesterday when he saw the names especially joe biden. what does that mean? was joe biden forgetful and good morning america? does he not remember that he was requesting the unmasking of michelson. judge andrew napolitano will be here about the legality of all this, greg jarrett, two best-selling books, finally getting the exposure he was able to unveil and get confirmation a lot of the theories, florida governor rhonda santos, the florida model is working, that state is beginning to stand up. what can we learn from what he is doing along with protecting his huge senior population and $20 million for restaurant workers impacted like nobody else but he's not done yet, this morning guy is cooking with steve as he prepares to take on bill murray in a competition for charity and everyone knows bill mary is a great cook.

nobody knows if bill marries a great cook, i just that i would add that. i'm very excited because i am fully dressed and hope you are too. now back to two fine people. rob: fighting for the right to worship. a mega-church pastor calling on churches of every faith to gather peacefully. pastor brian gibson joined us earlier to weigh in. >> my message to the governors in our state and across america is church is essential. we want to be response plant caring and follow the same guidelines but when walmart has hundreds of people in it, kroger has tons of people, when did one hour on sunday morning become the deadliest hour in america. rob: troops in 11 states file lawsuits over not being allowed to open. jillian: donald trump disagreeing with the top doctor on the coronavirus task force when it comes to reopening schools. doctor anthony fauci urging

caution say a vaccine won't be available by the time students return for the fall semester. >> i was surprised by his answer because to meet is not an acceptable answer when it comes to schools. jillian: the state of california has announced fall classes at state universities will be held online. nascar returning to the track, drivers will take on the track this sunday at the darlington 400. rob: as the 10 week hiatus comes to end fans expect big appearances on and off the track. here with what is in store, nascar host with the latest, thanks for coming on. what should we expect this sunday? >> things for having me. i heard that little shutter. that is what these drivers are feeling as we going to this weekend, so many unknowns going to darlington this weekend, number one because there's no qualifying, these drivers jump

into these cars and we've been in this situation where we haven't had tracks because of rain or no qualifying but never the extent of two weeks off and never going to attract like darlington where you mention the track too tough to campaign, these drivers have to figure out how far to push their cars, where that edge is and they won't be able to do that. a lot of times i describe that edge for folks that have never been in a racecar like you are getting off the highway. when you get off the highway you are going a little too fast and the basket slips out, that is what happens when cars go too far and it darlington you will hit the wall and they will hit the wall this weekend. and veterans told me they have to rely on their teams, great cars and past experience but one thing they haven't prepared for is the heat. it will be close to 90 degrees at darlington. much hotter inside those race cars, 60 in charlotte where most

of us live. kevin hiebert told me it will be a man up kind of race this weekend and that is 400 miles which is just under four hours. mening up is going to be tough. jillian: i love this angler, 36 healthcare he rose will serve as grand marshals which is incredible. let's take a listen to what they have to say. >> your name will be on the windshield and over the door, not sure which it is but that is pretty awesome. >> from to personally thank me was very honoring. makes me proud to be a nurse. >> this is an incredible moment. >> no doubt. this whole time is centered as to who the heroes really are whether it is front-line workers, medical workers going to work every day and allowing

us to a sense of normalcy. i look at my fourth grade teacher and realize what he rose they are, doing what we can't do in the fact that nascar is doing this, we support our military, we have names of military veterans, the outpouring of support will be great and to have a mainstage for everyone to recognize. rob: thanks for coming on. you can watch the race on fox sunday afternoon 3:30 eastern time. a little sport this weekend and not from two years ago. jillian: left-wing media outlets engaging in some serious spin. >> the trump administration trying to exact revenge on enemies. >> my take on this is this is a 100% contrived standoff. >> the mainstream media downplaying or in some cases

ignoring the list of top obama officials involved in the unmasking of michelson. social media's response to this apparent effort to squash a story coming up.

. .

>> they believe that this shows a plot to bring down president trump's incoming administration. what they don't show is any of that. >> the trump administration trying to exact revenge on enemies. >> my take on this is that this is a 100 percent contrived scandal. >> a lot of the mainstream media down playing the release of this

list of obama officials who requested to unmask michael flynn. >> carley shimkus with headlines 24/7115. >> good morning, jillian and rob. to be clear this list of obama officials who requesting the unmasking of michael flynn could lead us one step closer to finding out who leaked his name to the media which is a crime. you probably wouldn't know a lot about the story if you weren't watching fox news because much of the media either down played or ignored the story all together. for example, abc news no coverage. cbs evening news 50 seconds. cnn no coverage. nbc nightly news no coverage. msnbc 1 minute and 15 seconds. now. all of this in serious contrast relentless coverage of robert mueller's probe. some of them noticed and took to social media. this twitter user says why does this not surprise me in kyle also chiming in saying can you

say hypocrisy? this story will continue to unfold, guys, and, of course the big development is that joe biden is involved in it. rob: that is the big development. let's talk about this story. the v.a. blocking the boy scouts from planting these american flags on the graves of veterans for memorial day. it's something that they do that i'm sure they love to do every year, because of this virus. listen to this response as well. >> the notion that we would allow this virus to stop us from honoring them appropriately by placing american flags is for us in suffolk county is unacceptable. >> it's important to me. it's important to the boy scouts. it's important to the community. carley: there are growing calls for the v.a. to reverse this decision. a lot on both sides making good points on this one. ironic that those who do id in service to country are denied the respect by those by the very government they protect. goes on to say no, i will be

doing a memorial service and broadcast it via video. it's the very least can i do. this twitter user says no one needs to endanger kids or families. our veterans understand that sandy chiming in saying it's outside. we go every year and people are spread out. ask us to follow social distancing but allowing the flag placement. it's her favorite day of the year for her son's troop. another suggestion would be to allowing cemeteries at a local level to make the determination on how they handle their own memorial day services. jillian: interesting. one restaurant has a rather unique idea you could say on how to socially distance inside. carley: i want to know how you feel about this. creepy or creative. there is this restaurant in virginia. really fancy place called the inn at little washington. they are filling all the empty seats with ma mannequins as they follow social distancing guidelines. they want the restaurant to feel as full as possible. i like the idea. i think it's funny. it also does a bit of a twilight

zone vibe to it. they are certainly thinking outside the box here. jillian: i want to talk to the restaurant owners about this. carley: i think it's funny though. jillian: i have got to go. carley: i will shut up. rob: we will see you later. steve: good morning, everybody. it is 6:00 in the east on this thursday, may 14th, 2020. and we start with a fox news alert. the flynn unmaskers have been unmasked. we now know the names of the obama administration officials who requested the unmasking of general michael flynn. ainsley: i like the unmaskers have been unmasked. among them former vice president joe biden, brian. steve: oops. brian: absolutely. griff jenkins is live in washington. griff, he is knot the only high ranking obama official on the list. i think we even go to italy the ambassador to italy why shouldn't he ask for michael
