she is great. who needs sports when you have pets, an actual cat fright broke out behind the television reporter in her interview at home. you can see the felines flipping out. went down on tv, and tweeting "mike katz have no chill." here is bill hemmer bill hemmer everybody. >> bill: animals are great, you know it, everybody. see you at 5:00. from the white house right now, kayleigh mcenany, press secretary about her brief reporters any moment now. we will monitor this and drop in when there are headlines, so stand by. good day, everybody. midway through the week. i am bill hemmer. we could get brand-new news from the newly declassified email from president obama's national security adviser susan rice. and it was on inauguration day when she concerns from james comey. the spokesperson telling fox news that the white house counsel asks her to document the conversation.

writing that james comey was concerned about sharing information with incoming national security adviser general michael flynn prayed i want to bring in ken starr, the judge, former independent counsel in whitewater matter. and it's nice to see you again through the pandemic and all. we know that she wrote it, what does it tell us? what is the legal issue do you think, sir? >> it is an effort to it seems to me to completely explicate president biden. why would she be asked to write this two weeks after it happened, and we already have a new president during that time, she had finish this. so it is all very odd. i think that it is suspicious. but it also confirms another thing. that jim comey was holding back from president trump during the election period. and absolutely without foundation. he never said according to this

memo that general flynn had done anything wrong. it is just that he had a number of calls with the russian ambassador. that was his business. he was a national security adviser. if so jim comey once again comes out very poorly in this email. >> assuming that you meant to say president obama and not president biden. >> if i said that, yes indeed. what a slip. biden was there. >> bill: i know what you meant, just wanted to clear it up. right on, january 2017, comey saying that he does have concerns that incoming nsa speaking freely with kislyak, it could be an issue as it relates to sharing sensitive information. i'm president obama asked if the nsc should not pass sensitive information relating to flynn, and james comey replied potentially. what does that say about james comey as he started to go

there, judge? >> that he is not doing his job and he is not serving the country very well. he had this delusion of collusion, or let's just assume that he did have the self-delusion that there was some kind of collusion, and what he should have known is that the fbi had been investigating now general flynn, and had come up with absolutely nothing in almost five months of the investigation. because there is no ground for james comey to be holding back. that was his job to greet the incoming administration, especially the president-elect. he was not doing his job. >> bill: as you look back on this now, and try to forecast what john durham does, do you believe that anyone will be prosecuted? or does it reach that level based on what you know through this? >> based on what i know, which is obviously less then john durham will know and probably doesn't know right now. there will probably be indictments. i'm going to go ahead and get

out and say that. i don't think of any really truly major figures or household names. but there was so much wrongdoing in the fbi. as the senior leadership that i have a very strong sense. i've no information and indictments are issued. >> bill: if you are pursuing an indictment in cases like these, based on the wall, do you have to show intent or not? >> yes, typically all these will in fact, such as obstruction of justice, which may be one of the charges with respect to doctoring information that came from the cia with respect and now moving back over to the carter page and the fisa abuse. and of course, john durham is taking a broad book. and obviously a comprehensive look at what will happen during that period when the obama

administration was doing through the fbi as well, was doing so much with respect to dealings with russia. one of the things that comes out, by the way it is why president obama not blow the whistle loud and clear on russian interference? instead, everything got totally settled up including putting carter page in the crosshairs and above all now, the great tragedy of general flynn's indictment, which should be thrown down. >> bill: ken starr, thank you for your time, we will see whether you are correct, sir. nice to see you. today for the first time in months, all 50 states are at least partially reopened. and the cdc releasing more guidelines to get businesses and restaurants and schools back up and running. and lastly, dumbly basing businesses across that state can fully reopen starting on friday. which includes the gyms, the bars, the churches, even sports. watching all of that from coast

to coast in atlanta. jonathan. >> alaska being the largest geographical state in the u.s. and relatively a low population that has a lot of experience with social distancing, even before the pandemic. the governor saying that he expects to return life as normal before the pandemic beginning on friday easing restrictions. telling you about some other state sneezing restrictions, new jersey allowing in person sales at auto dealerships and connecticut, delaware, and kentucky are allowing retail establishments to reopen with social distancing in place. take a listen. >> we are going to get through this because we have shown that we can take those basic guidelines that we can take the science, that we can take the advice from public health, and we can make it a part of our everyday lives. speak of the cdc has released more detailed guidance on reopening schools, businesses,

and public transit. the document does not include recommendations for housing. but a separate analysis of an outbreak at a church in rural arkansas, two symptomatic people who tested positive attended church events in early march. among 92 attendees at that event, 38 percent to developing covid-19, and three of them died. an additional 26 cases linked to the church occurred out in the community including one death. but the justice department says that any restrictions on houses of worship must be applied evenhandedly. the doj sending a letter to california governor gavin newsom pointing out his stat grants more liberties to workers workers supporting the entertainment industry then workers. he said that he is working with the faith community to develop new guidelines that balances religious liberties with public health. back to you. >> bill: thank you, so nice to see you. from there to california, where a gym owner vows to keep his business open.

despite a state and county restrictions on nonessential businesses. police arrested him earlier this month and released him the same day. he is facing a misdemeanor charge, and a few days after he was arrested, he reopened his gym yet again. he joins me now, live from the metroplex gym, ocean wide california, south of l.a., thank you for your time, and good day to you. you knew what the state said, why defy the order? >> well, it seemed like when the state came out, they had the order, two weeks to flatten the curve, we are all on board with that. nobody knew what the virus was or what the threat was, so you follow along, and then it goes another 30 days. as it gets close to me first, you have seen the state and county that nobody really had a plan to reactivate business and get us back. so we started to take matters into our own hands, because we did projections, and her business would not be around in six months if we kept going the

course if we do not open immediately. in an effort to feed my family and to save my business and my dream, we started taking precautions. it took about a week to get everything set up. and we felt pretty confident by may 8th after consulting people and making sure that we had it set up in the best way to make it safe for our customers. >> bill: you have been open for about a week's time based on that answer. what i found interesting, you had a covid inspector give you approval, what did that inspection involved? >> it was a little nerve-racki nerve-racking, the ocean side police department came in, and one other guys, they go in and inspect a lot of divisions that are open. to make sure that they are complying, and they educate them on how to, made demand may be a need to do this or that to be better. same thing with us, so they came in. they wanted to check it out. and they came out and said, this

place is safer than any walmart or like that, and definitely safer than an airplane. so i felt very confident in the efforts we were taking to protect people. not only our communities, but our members. >> bill: lesson on the other side, it seems like there is a cat-and-mouse game going on here between authorities and business owners and the police and help us understand that. >> well, i mean, there was some local tensions going on from city member, councilmember rodriguez actually saturday after i open and encouraged all small businesses to reopen if they feel confident in doing so. the day after, later that day, the mayor said he does not speak for the city. and i kind of got caught and a political cross wire. it came down pretty heavy on me. and actually coming of the story, they took me away in handcuffs. >> bill: i guess you pay the fine, right? and will stay open for now, correct? >> we are open, we are

encouraging everyone else to open. this will actually, i think that there are 16 gyms across orange county and san diego that have open their doors, and we could not be happier for everyone. >> we will follow along, okay, thank you for your time. in california, thank you, sir. good luck to you. right now the white house press briefing has been pushed back, set to begin 20 minutes from now. so again, we are monitoring that and we will bring you headlines. a lot of question circulating again. so kayleigh mcenany will be in the room about 3:30 eastern time. meanwhile the coronavirus leaving millions of college students in limbo. major universities and announcing plans to cancel most on-campus classes for the year as others shorten the calendar. we will try to sort that out in a moment could also there is this from a moment ago. well, there was that, right. that is joe biden speaking at columbia law school's graduation

>> dana: do you think that the vice president will leave delaware before august? >> we will do it when it is sa safe. >> bill: what does this tell you about the fate of the campaign today? >> the thing that i find really interesting about that is how doug in both sides are on this question of when it is safe to go out and when it is safe to reopen. and listening to scientists and all of that. i mean, from what i have seen. both sides are listening to scientists and scientists are like everybody else in the world, they see things differently depending on the data and the dynamics that they are looking at. i think that it is very interesting that joe biden may be in his basement until potentially the convention, the democratic convention, which is pushed back to august. so, you know, i cannot imagine that that does not become a liability at some point. you will see president trump on the other side of the spectrum trying to get out there as soon as he possibly can in the american people will decide which way they want to go. which way they think is a

stronger leadership. >> bill: i posed it to ari fleischer the other day. you can get in philadelphia in 45 minutes. and you can do it respectfully and have social distancing, and it has not happened. pennsylvania are goodly will determine whether joe biden and donald trump are the next president. quinnipiac coming out with a pole next hour, they have them up nationally by 11 points. perhaps the campaign says, why risk it? we are doing fine. listen -- >> you know, i think -- i just think a lot of their argument is that they think that the president trump is messing this thing up. so they feel like, if we just sit back and let this all play out, the numbers seem to be heading in our direction at this moment, but i think more than ever, build, every week and every month this thing changes. 360 degrees, so hang on and put your seat belt on for what is going to be a crazy next -- >> bill: i agree with that. i want to get your view on this. you have college kids that have been home since march,

notre dame has a very interesting strategy, on the 10th of august, they are going to go right through thanksgiving, you have announcements from rice university and texas, university of south carolina. cambridge will not have any classes until midway through the year of 2021. and you try to figure out what the decision-making process is for the schools, how they do it, how they do it safely? how they make kids feel comfortable, and what is your view on that, martha, as you are the mother of two now. >> one of them is go back to notre dame on august 10th, probably before that for practice. so i think that they are balancing a lot. and it was very interesting that the president of notre dame said that the students want to be back. and the whole community once the students to be back. university experience is not about sitting in your living room in front of a laptop. it just isn't. and a lot of private universities across the country

are balancing some real financial concerns, because there are a lot of parents or whoever is paying for the education of the students who say, i'm not writing a tuition check. we will hit the pause button, we will take a break from college and we will come back when things are open. so they were all looking at the very real possibility that they would really see a drop in tuition checks in attendance if they don't start school on time. and i think that the august 10th to the thanksgiving time frame is a very interesting way to go through this. to beat the second wave, but that is clearly what notre dame is hoping based on the input they have had from a lot of very smart people. it's going to be the right way to go about it. we will like to see all of them open safely. >> bill: virtual school, good or bad? bad. >> bill: it's nice to have you today, martha. check it out on "the story." justice department accusing california's discrimination against churches as the state slowly reopens. and the ceo of mentor in a after

what you're doing, et cetera. oxford university. doesn't sound promising at the moment, doctor? how would you characterize that for us? >> i think that every piece of information about positive information about vaccines for one vaccine is positive for the other, because each of us tries to do similar things with different mechanisms. we bring the information, we bring a piece of dna, rna, and bring it into a person. and then elicit the production of antigens, which then gets to the antibodies, and then to the a moon unionization and protection. if so showing that the antigens are being positive with antibodies. it is positive for all of the vaccines. so we publish consolidating first animal trials, and the dna. and also other strokes that have been able to do that to elicit

immunization, and we also confirm the data that we can protect animals from covid, or at least mitigate the disease. >> bill: do you see someone having the lead at the moment? i'm looking for some hope here. i know that you have a clinical trial in september, johnson & johnson could have 1 billion doses next year? that's a massive amount. do you see a company that now has an edge that would give us hope? >> i think that it's not about, to me it is not about the competition. the world needs between the 5-7000000000 vaccines. so it's best that several companies get there. but positive information is good hope that we can get there sooner or later. and it might be with a few months difference, but i think that early next year we will have significant numbers of vaccines which could help it

still moves forward. america continues to lead with courage and bravery." so the launch is a really big deal for a few reasons. it's the first time that nasa astronauts have ever flown into space on a private company spacecraft. emil marked the end of the u.s. is reliance on russian fuel used rockets to get astronauts to the international space station. >> think for the last ten years we have had to hitch a ride on russian rockets to get to the international space station. every american knew that it was just wrong. >> and we have also learned that vice president mike pence, he is definitely going to be going to the launch next wednesday, and two there is a chance that president trump may be going as well. ron desantis dropped a very big hint that that may be in the works. but so far right now, the white house is not confirming that. one person, one very important person that is not going to be

where have you been, brian? it has been months, for crying out loud. here's the question. flynn's attorneys want sullivan off the case. judge sullivan wants another to come i in and explain why the guilty should stand up. how does this come out, do you think? >> from legal minds, there were 15 other ags that joined from alabama to say that this is wrong. the judge has to go, and michael flynn's case should be staged. just get rid of it, because our attorney general has a great point to put together a solid case and he did nothing wrong. and people who have interrogated him say that he did nothing wrong. we will backtrack and a second. but looking at the legal case, it is pretty strong. this judge comes out and says that the 302s that were lost of the michael flynn interviews that got them in trouble to begin with, where the fbi waits a week to write a summary, which

is bizarre, those are gone. they were entered by peter strzok with help from someone named lisa page who happen not to be there. so they disappeared. we know the person that he asked to help him with the case is an anti-trumper who wrote an editorial on how the dismissal of flynn was all wrong. and he told michael flynn when he was in court, you betrayed your country. yes, he kind of apologize, but we knew where he stood. that's a strong case, bill, that the judge has a bias against that client. against michael flynn. i think you have to let it go. and you have to let him go. let him get on with his life. how many more time -- millions of dollars does he have to spend to show that he is innocent. >> bill: we will see how it goes. i need an elevator pitch on "sam houston and the alamo avengers." go. >> we are talking about freedom and liberty whether it is the local gm and -- gym owner or a restaurant tour, the person out in california you were talking

with. fundamentally it is the same thing that they were doing in texas. define the way that they were living, but when you took away their freedom, their liberty, their due process, the chance to elect their own officials, when they lost the autonomy of life, those are fighting words. it was game on. wore on. i chronicle what happened and why sam houston is so important. another great american figure that i hope is not lost in history. i hope that this brings his legacy to history. and i start with a legacy on andrew jackson when i edit it into paperback is what he was able to do with abraham lincoln, trying to keep texas out of the confederacy and the civil war. ultimately he would fail, but an impact that he made. and you understand why texans have so much pride in what they were for nine years, their own country. >> bill: great history. >> are we out of the elevator? >> bill: you just made it. i will see you soon, brian. did you see this today?
