>> jasper will appreciate this. as you know i'm an avid dog lover, and i am attending the red carpet movie reveal of scu scooby. >> bill: thank you dana. a live look at the florida house, democrats debating the $3 trillion coronavirus bill and we expect the boat sometime today on that, while that's happening. we are watching a brief, white house, the briefing is underway and we will give you headlines as we get them on this friday afternoon. let's get rolling. i'm bill hemmer come at the end of another long week here care. states like montana and maryland lifting more restrictions today as president trump gives us an update on the race to develop a vaccine. more on that story in a moment. meanwhile, there is a new from the michael flynn matter. telling fox news that they are concerned unmasking as being politicized and that could hurt their ability to keep america safe in the future.

i want to start there this hour with leon panetta and the defense secretary under president obama. good to see you again, it's been about a month, thanks for coming back here. i want to get your view as to whether or not this can be explained away by those who are talking at the moment, or will the president and his team be proven a correct on their allocations? >> well, you know, it is a political season so you have to wonder whether or not a lot of this is kind of apolitical diversion when the country is facing the coronavirus. as to whether or not any of this could be established, part of this is going to be resolved in the courts with judge sullivan and i assume that there is an investigation going on into the justice department that will resolve other issues. so we will just have to wait and see. >> bill: so brennan and klapper were at msn and cs nbc

24 hours ago and they were asked about that and he was part of this answer. >> i think our country is in very serious trouble. when you have such a blatant political corruption at the highest levels, something i never thought i would see in my lifetime. >> it's a routine thing, it's appropriate and legitimate. when you have a valid foreign intelligence target engaging with the u.s. personally. >> bill: there are more questions forthcoming and could have been more questions at that moment as well. if they are going to offer their own explanation over time, what is your explanation for this? what happened? >> well, it's hard to go back and try to figure out all the elements here but the reality is that obviously general flynn did it go before a court and admit to lying. and you have to ask yourself if he admitted to lying not once, but twice, if he was innocent,

why did he do that? that's one issue that will obviously be looked at. as to other issues related to the russia situation, the fact is that the russians in 2016 did interfere in our election process that's been established by all of the intelligence agencies. they did the same thing in 2018 and they are doing the same thing in 2020 so it is an issue that is of concern to the united states. >> bill: but you've seen the list of these names. why would joe biden need to know about michael flynn the week before leaving office? >> i think that goes back to the whole issue of what exactly was michael flynn doing talking to the russian ambassador? if he was talking to the russian investor before he became national security advisor and the administration took office, there's a question of whether or not he was trying to interfere with our foreign policy by not

having been in office yet. so i think there are some legitimate issues that were asked at the time. >> bill: so one of the issues is, who leaked to the media? eventually that's where he went and that's a criminal act. based on your experience do you believe they know who that person is already? >> you mean the person who leaked -- >> bill: or if it was more than one? >> i don't know. when i was chief of staff president clinton always use to ask me to check out leaks and it was always very difficult to find who was leaking to the press. so who knows, whether they were able to find exactly who did that, that's a tough issue to try to see whether or not some -- someone in particular gave information to the press. but perhaps they had that information, or perhaps they don't.

>> bill: some believe it's probably likely. leon panetta, thank you for your time. you called it a day version and given the political season that is six months away from the election. do you think bill barr is guilty of that, is that what you're saying? >> i just think that at a time when the country is overwhelmed by this crisis, 2,000 people dying per day and almost 86,000 dead total, 36 million out of jobs, i think the main focus of the president, i think the main focus of democrats ought to be on how to deal with this major crisis. i know there are other political issues and conspiracies bouncing around but i think all of them would do well in the american people would ask them to basically focus on the major problem that is confronting this country and that is the coronavirus. >> bill: it appears that both stories will continue and we will follow both. thank you for your time today, leon panetta hunkered down in

monterey, california. here's a present from earlier today at the white house. speak to another essential pillar of our strategy to keep america open is the development of effective treatments and vaccines as quickly as possible. i want to see if we can do that very quickly, we are looking to -- when i say quickly we are looking to get it by the end of the year if we can. >> bill: president trump laying out operation of wrote warp speed. the goal is a vaccine by the end of the year but the stat states should move forward with reopening their economies with or without one. let's bring in dr. -- what did you hear today about the vaccine? >> so i heard a lot of enthusiasm. i've been one of the most sort of positive people but when we are going to have a vaccine. i'd love to have it by the end 2020, bill. i think it will hard be hard and

i think it will be more early 2021 but i would love to have it. >> bill: so you have the focus of the world on the singular issue, the sciences better than it has ever been. there is reason to be optimistic on the timely based on that, would you agree? >> i do. so the people who are at the detractors have cited we've never built a vaccine for coronavirus before. if you cut too many corners you will get into problems with safety. my response is, those are all true. the world is focused on this and we know that we can develop immunity for the virus so i am enthusiastic we are going to get one. the timeline, we will have to let the science try that and go as fast as we can. >> bill: the cdc put out some new guidelines, i want to put them on the screen for camps and child care programs, mass transcendtransit, bars and rest. the white house said it's too rigid. the white house at the counties have such a variation between

one and the other, go back and rewrite them again and find a better way, especially instead of the economic damage that's being done by the week. what do you think of the cdc? >> i think the cdc guidelines, the ones that they just put out to be perfectly honest, they are not enough. they are vague and broad. what you need is, imagine you are running a school system. you want specifics on how do i get kids back in, what do i do with the cafeteria, what do i do with sports? i understand school t districts are all different but we need a better idea. >> bill: what more do you want to hear from the cdc? >> i want to hear things about what do i do with cafeterias, what do i do with sports, how many kids can i pack into a classroom? not just keep things clean and maintain social distancing, we get all that. give me the specifics of what i need to do, give me flexibility

but give me some specifics. >> you justified before the house just a few days ago and you were hammering your message about testing. where do you think we are today? >> i think we are in better shape than we were a few weeks ago. we are making progress and i think we have a ways to go. i want to get to a point where when you are out there getting a cup of coffee at the coffee shop, you go to your office and you want to have a high level confidence the person next to you is not infected. the way we are going to do that is with a lot of testing and we are not there yet. >> bill: how far away are we what you say? >> i think it will be pretty hard unless white house puts his foot on the accelerator to get in with the new technology but the good news is a lot of new technology is coming down the pike. i'm hoping the next 4-6 weeks we have the kind of testing we need to. >> bill: is that technology from here or overseas? >> it's from here. we have companies working on things like antigen tests and other kinds of sequencing, stuff that i think is american technology that i think we can make work and ramp up.

>> bill: i hope so. doctor, thank you so much for coming back. it's friday, whatever that means these days. enjoy your weekend. lawmakers in the florida house are working to approve a trillion dollar covid-19 bill expected to pass some time today. but will it be dead on arrival in the senate? we are told it will be, so then what is next? also a number of states with lifting some restrictions today as the effort to reopen is taking shape with millions of americans looking ahead to memorial day weekend. but first, the u.s. air force thunderbird's over san diego just now in a tribute to front-line workers. they are also scheduled to fly over l.a. on the next hour or so on the west coast, a beautiful day for that. the air force is encouraging folks to post pictures and videos taking them with hashtag america strong and hashtag thunderbirds. well done. we will be back. ♪

new york city. all of these regions had a specific criteria. among them a drop in hospitalization and death rates and another requirement is having a minimum of 30% available capacity at hospitals in case there is a surge. the first of four phases does not permit bars, restaurants or hair salons to doors but it does allow customers to pick up items at stores. construction and manufacturing can also resume but businesses must implement measures such as social distancing to keep people safe. >> we are trying to be as cautious as we cannot bring people back to work because we will have over 200 people back in our factory. >> following the lead of new jersey, governor cuomo announced today that several east coast states, new york, connecticut and delaware will reopen their beaches for memorial day. here in new york city authorities are bracing for massive crowds looking for a break in apartment life. authorities are limiting the number of people allowed in two of central park and other

locations, more than 2,000 city employees who are dubbed social distancing ambassadors will be deployed to keep people from spreading the virus. and lastly, governor cuomo is saying that new york has turned back the clock. the number of hospitalizations and fatalities is where it was about two months ago. also, i hearkening back to another time, starting today state wide movie theaters can reopen you remember those, don't you, bill. >> bill: of poor people on the sidewalk today. david lee miller, thanks. joe biden is speaking out for the first time since his name showed up on that list of officials who may have requested the unmasking of michael flynn and in a moment i'll talk to chris wallace on biden's reaction, next.

and emergency services. respond now at 2020census.gov. we're returning $2 billion dollars to our auto policyholders through may 31st. because now, more than ever, being a good neighbor means everything. like a good neighbor, state farm is there.

i do motivational speakingld. being a good neighbor means everything. in addition to the substitute teaching. i honestly feel that that's my calling-- to give back to younger people. i think most adults will start realizing

that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. i've been taking prevagen for about three years now. people say to me periodically, "man, you've got a memory like an elephant." it's really, really helped me tremendously. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

>> bill: a live look at the floor of the house which just got underway a moment ago. lawmakers debating a $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill. expecting about today, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying the bill is a nonstarter and minority leader chuck schumer is saying he's hopeful both sides can cut a deal. i want to bring in fox news sunday anchor chris wallace. low to you on a friday or as you said on commercial break, wednesday for you. what's in the bill? >> 900 billion for state and local governments, 175 billion rent and mortgage relief, direct payments up to $6,000 per household, extend the $600 weekly unemployment bonus. it's a lot of money and this is a big lift, chris. well, mitch mcconnell said it's dead on arrival. but it appears that somewhere between the house and somewhere between the senate they will get the president something that he can sign ultimately this summer.

i guess the question then becomes -- >> yes, this is really the first to go at this. this is the democrats, they know this bill isn't going to go anywhere in the senate and certainly wouldn't go anywhere on the president's desk. this is basically the democrat comic democrats, nancy pelosi saying you've complained it wasn't enough, put everything in this bill, it's a marker. you can go back home and say i fought for this and it will be a highly political document because you are going to have democrats saying when the republicans defeated, they wouldn't even give money to cities and states, they wouldn't give money, $1200 to individuals. meanwhile you have republican saying, look. this shows how crazy and left wing the democrats are and this is the platform, the governing agenda for joe biden if he gets into office and has a democratic house and senate. >> bill: because of that, "the wall street journal, their opinion piece, presidential

platform for nancy pelosi, that's joe biden's real agenda for 2021. i guess the question comes back to this. what will we need in june, july and august, what will we need in six months? i think that answer right now is not real clear. >> while he better not be six months. the democrats are saying they need it right now. and at the republicans are saying, we have put so much money into the economy and the fed has put so much money into the economy, let's wait and see how it filters out. but they are talking about june, not next fall. i think you will get a bill passed sometime -- and i suspect certain elements of this will definitely be in it. you will definitely get some aid to states and localities which are really underwater, their tax revenue has cratered. whether you will get another $1200 payment, you know, the republicans are saying that shows that what democrats really

want is kind of a regular income, and earned income credit that everyone would get a government check every month. that's not going to go anywhere. in the big thing that republicans want, the democrats are objecting to is this liability protection. the idea that when a company or business reopens, if a worker gets sick or a customer comes in and he gets sick, they don't want them to be able to sue and save in this place reopened, you gave me the coronavirus and now you have to pay me a million dollars. maybe it's a sign that the crisis isn't quite as pressing because we are beginning to see more politics as usual. >> bill: let's talk about joe biden for a quick minute, he was on msnbc last night. this came up, didn't spend a lot of time on it but it did come up. his answer on michael flynn. >> i was never part or had any knowledge of any criminal investigation into michael flynn while i was in office. not one single time.

>> bill: it so i was curious to hear leon panetta described this a few minutes ago calling this a diversion. he pretty much dismissed a lot of the questions that came up about flynn and what was going on back then but the question still remains for joe biden, how much of a problem is this for him, do you think? >> while the first thing is, joe biden has to get a straight answer because he was asked about this on "good morning america" by george stephanopoulos. he was asked, do you know anything about the investigation? and he said i don't know anything about it. then george stephanopoulos pointed out he was in a meeting with the fbi director and sally gates on january 25th, 2017, in which they were discussing a counterintelligence investigation into flynn. when stephanopoulos brought that up he said i thought you said -- i don't know anything about a criminal investigation. he needs to get a straighter, better answer about that.

i think it depends on what is out there and if you like something that's against the law and that would be very serious. newly classified information. just seeking the unmasking of somebody who was identified as american number one and a classified intelligence report, that's perfectly legal and happens all the time, in 2018 and the trump administration it happen 16,000 times. so just asking for somebody, what was the name of the un-american, number one is fine. if you like it you got a problem. >> bill: more questions coming on that. looking forward to seeing you on sunday, a great lineup. we talked with tom frieden, and also the chief economic advisor at all eons. then you have the democratic in colorado who met with president trump this week so check it out on your local fox station and detector tv listings. thank you chris and tell lorena hello. we will see you soon.

yes? i think that's yes. i heard him. i can't hear your microphone but i can hear you. kentucky's governor facing legal battles from gatherings and at one point religious services because of the virus. we talked to the attorney attorney general about the case he's trying to make. and not one but two nfl players accused of armed robbery. hi♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> bill: a fox news alert, president trump will speak at a recognition ceremony at the top of the hour in the rose garden. he will honor hard work, heroism and hope. but i on that for you expected up 4:00 east coast time. meanwhile the kentucky governor facing lawsuits over restrictions and estate including a ban on in-person church services. court temporarily blocked that band as long as churches follow health guidelines and the governor rescinded the order. i want to bring an kentucky attorney general jamie cameron. how are you doing and good

afternoon to you. >> good afternoon bill, thanks for having me on them. look we were proud -- one >> let's go ahead and clear this up. into and kentucky can go to church, or not? >> you can. we were proud to challenge the constitutionality of the had issued to basically ban in person church services which was fundamentally inconsistent with our first amendment rights here in the commonwealth and across the country so we challenged it in court. i will note that we have had to district court federal judges, one appointed by president obama and the other appointed by president george w. bush independently decide that that order was unconstitutional as it applied to in prisons church services. so i was pleased to see that the governor rescinded that order. we obviously want to stand up for the first amendment rights, all of our constitutional rights for our citizens, recognizing that we have to maintain safety here in the midst of this

pandemic. you know just as well as i that general barr a couple of weeks ago noted that even in the midst of a pandemic, the constitution is not suspended. we wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment here in that commonwealth. >> bill: a couple things here. governor beshear says he's okay with people gathering but he wants to make sure people do it safely. >> i think that's his position after two judges found that his order initially was unconstitutional and i think he has changed his tune now. we are obviously pleased to see the rescinding of his order initially that band in-person services and i have always asked that people and parishioners and churches have the ability under the first amendment to make that decision prayerfully with their congregations inside of a faith-based organization and i believe the governor believes that as well.

>> bill: is the governor on what he's seeing in different states and how he is trying to make a decision for the commonwealth in kentucky. >> was i would have been in louisiana and was still happening in new jersey and other hot spots. we had to take decisive action. now weeks and months after that, someone wants to challenge it in court and they can do it for different reasons, that's fine. that's what the court so therefore. >> bill: in the courts, and you are taking them on a significant way. when it comes to reopening, what is your view on what kentucky should do right now? >> basin the most recent numbers, 36% of our workforce has filed for unemployment benefits. we need to get this economy working again. we don't want folks having to stay at home and not able to provide for their families. again we are cognizant and completely aware of the challenges that this pandemic presents but at some point our folks need to get back to work. i recognize that there is a phase plan that's occurring here

across the country but i am for supporting any efforts undertaken that get our folks back out in our communities working again. we have to be able to provide for families here in the commonwealth and you can't live off the government indefinitely. i know people here in kentucky just want to be able to work and get back to work. >> bill: so one last point, can you travel in kentucky or what's the policy now? >> initially the governor issued restriction that wouldn't allow people to travel outside of kentucky. so again, we stand here in kentucky making sure that we are protecting the constitutional rights of our citizens and proud of the balance that we have struck here come proud of the work that are district court judges have done to uphold the constitution and respect the rights and balance that with the safety and responsibility that we have to our citizens.

>> bill: okay. all right. daniel cameron, take it out a day at a time or a week a time, thank you sir for your time today and good luck in kentucky. from florida, police arrived, issuing arrest warrants for two nfl players accused of armed robbery. witnesses telling officers of the players stole thousands of dollars in cash and other goods well at a party this week. phil keating is on that story. >> another day goes by and these nfl players have still yet to turn themselves in. police tell me that would be the easiest way to have this case move forward. whether they actually have cops driving around to the locations to get these players in handcuffs they won't say. but if they are, they still haven't found them. but you have two nfl quarterbacks who are making millions of dollars a year and they may have just thrown it all away and could end up behind bars in prison. remember o.j. simpson? new york giant defensive back deandre baker seen here drafted in the first round last

year was one of the players not wanted by the miramar, florida, police for four counts of armed robbery and four counts of aggravated assault. the same charges will be filed against seattle seahawks cornerback quentin dunbar who was treated by the washington redskins in march. according to witnesses at the poker party at our house wednesday night, the two players and a third accomplice allegedly stole a total of $12,000 in cash from the people at the poker table as well as the watch is on the wrists, expensive ones at that. $61,000 worth of watches including a row rolex, all while yielding a semiautomatic firearm. baker told the unnamed accomplisaccomplice to shoot a o just entered the room. the trigger was never polled so no one ended up getting shot. all three men then sped away in their vehicles. a very short statement from the nfl they wrote, we are aware of the matter but will decline

further comment at this time. and this may be the motive. witnesses also told investigators that at a previous poker party at a house a few nights earlier dunbar and baker were also in attendance and both of those two men combined lost $70,000. once these two are in custody they will be booked and held without bound behind bars until their first court appearance and bond hearings. >> bill: so much for social distancing. the vatican is doing a deep cleaning of st. peter's basilica today. workers and protective gear sanitizing the altar and sprained on the railings and cleaning entire floor. the vatican has not said when pope francis will preside over any event inside of st. peter's. on monday he is set to say a private mass in a side chapel where is st. john paul ii is very to honor what would've been the late pope's 100th birthday. temperature scanners also to be installed in the major basilicas around rome for celebrations

where large crowds are expected. we are all adjusting as we go. so the feds are out with a warning about a potentially deadly illness links to covid-19 that affects children. in a moment to come what parents need to watch out for and what they need to know to keep their kids safe, next. ♪ about making choices. well i didn't choose metastatic breast cancer. not the exact type. not this specific mutation. but i did pick hope... ...and also clarity... ...by knowing i have a treatment that goes right at it. discover piqray, the first and only treatment that specifically targets pik3ca mutations in hr+, her2- mbc, which are common and linked to cancer growth. piqray is taken with fulvestrant after progression on hormone therapy and has been proven to help people with a pik3ca mutation

>> bill: the cdc warning doctors and parents about a mysterious covid-19 related illness found in children. health officials say the disease rare but potentially deadly. let's bring in professor peter lopez, doctor, welcome. i know you are chasing a vaccine as well and we will get to that in a moment. how much have you learned about this mysterious illness affecting kids? >> it looks very similar to what we used to call kawasaki disease which is an inflammation of the blood vessels. we never knew what caused it although everyone expected it was a virus. there's actually some evidence that that kawasaki disease which has been around for a long time could be linked to other coronavirus infections and we can talk about that in a bit. but this new syndrome which has a new name now, pims, pediatric

inflammablinflammatory multisysm disease. hopefully we will come up with a better name. the good news is it's very rare and there have only been about a hundred cases across all different hospitals in new york city. >> bill: the governor was talking about this today and said it's a real thing and it's going to be around for a while. let me get you to comment on this. the symptoms are this, prolonged fever, talking five days or more. severe stomach pain, diarrhea, bloodshot eyes, skin rash. another frame graphic, changing skin color, difficulty eating and drinking, breathing trouble, breathing too fast. you get the idea. are you able to draw on your knowledge and put your finger on some things? >> the bottom line for parents is your kid looks sick so you know your child is sick. i think the other is it's very important. i think it's likely cursed toward the later stages of the disease. in other words not when the kids

first get the virus but wet as they start developing an inflammatory response and immune response to the virus. that seems to be triggering it and that's where the inflammatory component comes in. there are some treatments for it that we could look at, may be steroids or maybe what's called iv ig, intravenous immunoglobulin. the scariest thing is the drop in blood pressure for your kid. so fever, rash, abdominal threat, pain, you want to have a low threshold for calling your pediatrician. and it is rare. >> bill: rare, and most of the kids recover. >> one other thing to keep in mind is as we move into the summer months, there is a disease that can look like it, and enteral virus that occurs in the summer and fall. if you had kids, you probably had kids with that so that could create some confusion. >> bill: we will keep an eye on that.

the query i have is, can you say whether or not they've been exposed to people with covid-19 or whether or not they been able to pass up to other people? >> that's unknown. i think it will probably turn out towards the advanced stages of covid-19 meeting come you've had the virus for a while and it may even be associated with having an immune response against it so they may not even be contagious. we are still in a steep learning curve about this, brand-new syndrome. we just heard about it for the first time coming out of the u.k. and now we are starting to see cases but it's something we will have to watch very closely. >> bill: let's find some after optimism in this. operation warp speed, apparently 14 possibilities and four or five look promising and you are chasing a vaccine as well. what did you think about what you heard today? >> the president brought in some really good people. the person -- the scientific officer who ate he is getting to head this, he came out of gsk

and i've known him for years. he's visited my lab and he is everything you want to come he's smart and has good interpersonal skills. he knows vaccines like no one else does, he was a really good choice. the other person who has gotten involved in this is it a guy named peter marks was a physician scientist out of sever which is a branch of the fda. he did the right thing getting the best people in charge of this. the truth is, it's not going to be that technically difficult to develop a covid vaccine because you just have to neutralize the spike proteins of the virus. it's not nearly complicated as something like an aids vaccine. the key is there is a lot of different technologies that you got out there and nobody knows what the best one is yet. the hard part will be giving us adequate time to show that these vaccines are safe and effective. so we are hearing the number 14, i think there could even be 20 vaccines going in.

the key is collecting enough information that the vaccines actually work and they are safe, doing that over the next year or so. you know everyone is talking about trying to get it in by the fall. i think we could have a lot of things manufactured by then but whether or not we know it's works like it works or it safe, i don't know how we get that until next year. >> bill: one of the things i saw that looked tricky was how do you figure out what's good for a 20-year-old and what's good for a 70-year-old and that's part of your big challenge and all of this, too. notwithstanding the tone is about time and making sure there is treatment that is efficient. >> you are absolutely right. and what's more is there is not going to be just one vaccine, i predict there will be three or four or maybe more vaccines. the reason is, they use different technologies as a way to ensure that you can scale up manufacturer for the whole u.s. population, number one. number two different vaccines will be used for different population.

one vaccine as you pointed out may be better in older individuals, others health care providers or adolescents. those with underlying conditio conditions, we don't take time to figure out which is of best vaccine for each group and there may be some overlap there as well. so it's going to be a little bit complicated. good news is i'm pretty confident we are going to have a vaccine in the communication of that vaccine will be very important. because as you know we had this pretty awful anti-vaccine movement, and they go after me as well, because i wrote a book that says vaccines did not cause aprils problem. there will be a lot of messaging around that to give confidence to the american public that these vaccines are going to be adequately tested for safety and if they work. >> bill: i think you doc, thanks for being available to us.

>> always an honor. >> bill: nascar is leading the way. back in action, i speak with the former crew chief about how they are going to do this and that comes up, next. ♪

♪ [applause] [cheers and applause] >> bill: never gets old. why would it? health care workers in georgia celebrating one of their own nurses recovering from covid-19. she spent two weeks on the hospital for coronavirus. another three weeks of rehab before heading home. she's out the door. nascar returns, the cap series returns. a larry, former nascar crew chief, race analyst for fox sports. larry, how are you doing?

it's going to be different. take us through the rules for the first race or to. >> first and foremost, bill, we help you and your family are doing well. we really appreciate you having us on. the rules of the actual race, they are not going to vary from when we were racing in normal times. there are a lot of nuances that will be different. for example, there is going to be no practice, no qualifying. they are having a random draw for the race that is going to be on fox at 3:00 p.m. eastern ti time. we are still going to have competitive pit stops on pit road. probably one of the biggest things, bill, they will be no fans in the stands. it really breaks my heart because there is not a mark passionate fan then a nascar fan. you think about drivers before the race. that's who really has a lot of energy and energizes the driver. nascar has reduced the size of the roster appear number of guys at each team can have. we are not going to turn our back on the protocol of what our

government and health care officials are asking and mandating us to do. go in and raise for 400 miles starting the sunday and then back out of there. >> bill: you now, no announcers, right? they are doing it from another location. so why would someone like you be, larry? >> you know, i'm actually the one that is affected the least amount because even when we are racing and doing the normal broadcast, i'm in the charlotte studio. that's where i've been for the last year and a half, ever since i came of the road. they will be in the same studio i'm in. they will be in a different room. i met a room by myself. the only reporter that will be on-site will be one of their pet reporters, regan smith. he has to follow the protocol, wear a mask. when he interviewed someone, it will be with the boom mic, not

with a mic stuck their face. >> bill: gotcha. listen. i will be watching. just listen, why did they choose darlington? >> they wanted to do it the safest way. darlington is only over a two and a half hour drive from charlotte. all the teams, all the drivers located just like myself here in charlotte. one day show. you can drive down, drive back home. there is no airplanes, no hotels, no rental cars. really not even any restaurants. it really reduces the risk for all the people involved in this race. >> bill: i can understand that. you know what the best idea is? racing during the week. i think the ratings will be huge. you never race during the week. week. >> no, we haven't, but this is something we've talked about trying for a long time. we don't like the reason we are forced to do it, but i think racing on a wednesday night, i

think that's going to be huge. >> bill: enjoy it, larry. enjoying it from your booth or wherever you end up. set your dvr here every day at 3:00 eastern time. never miss the report. enjoy your weekend, whatever that means. >> neil: thank you very much. let the grid reopening begin. you are looking live in new orleans. also columbus, ohio. more and more states are reopening. count them at 35. we are going to detail through exactly is doing what. this as a retail sales are sliding away. a lot of people expected that. what they did not expect was the records dropping. 16.5%. some are arguing that this could be the worst of it. we will see. meanwhile, what is the trump administration doing on that front? you might be surprised as they get ready for the rose garden event to celebrate those who have made a difference through this crisis. so much going on here. welcom
