out a plan for the economy to move forward safely. >> dana: all right. nicole malliotakis, always good to see you, thanks for all you do. thank you for joining us, everybody. i am dana perin dana dana perind trace gallagher are you ready for the show, "special report with bill hemmer"? >> i'm glad to see that you are healthy. i hope you stay healthy. good afternoon, i'm trace gallagher and n for bill hemmer, covid restrictions ahead of memorial day weekend and president trump says the cdc is rolling out new guidelines are reopening places of worship. the president calling them essential. >> i call upon governors to allow the churches and places of worship to open right now if there is any questions, they will have to call me, but they will not be successful in that call. >> trace: when it comes a day

after the president vowed to keep the country open. the second wave of cases hit. so for the virus has killed 95,000 people in the united states. the chief white house correspondent john roberts begins the coverage from the north lawn, john. >> tracy it was a real surprise and we are waiting to see the new cdc guidelines regarding the reopening of houses of worship. they were supposed to be posted at noon. they are not up on the website but uploaded shortly, so we should have a link to them, but the president really surprised everyone when he came out. he said there is a lot of places out here open across the country that are being deemed essential services, but houses of worship are not among them. the president laid down the gauntlet to the governor saying he will change that and challenge them to challenge him. listen here. >> some governor steamed liquor stores and abortion clinics as essential, but have left out

churches and other houses of worship. it's not right. so correcting this injustice, the governors need to do the right thing and allow these important essential places of faith to open right now. this weekend. if they don't do it come i will override the governors. >> trace: there are a lot of states where worship has been opened by other states across the nation where certain stores are open in liquor stores, hardware stores are among them. certainly grocery stores are. but there are restrictions in place on houses of worship. a lot of them have had to get by with doing online services. and the president saying he wants that to change. he's not quite clear on what authority he would override the governor, so that is somewhat in question. one of the other big questions, they are still some areas of the country that are hot spots when it comes to coronavirus disease spread and would open up houses of worship including more people

in the enclosed space to spread the virus further. this is what dr. birx said about all of that, suggesting that prudence may have to rule the day when it comes to reopening houses of worship. listen here. >> i think each one of the leaders in the faith community should be in touch with their local health department so that they can communicate to their congregants. certainly people that have significant comorbidities i know those houses of worship want to protect them. so really ensuring that may be items, maybe they can't go this week if high number of covid cases. maybe they wait another week. but there is a way to social distance like you are here and places of worship. they went there you have the president saying he wants houses of worship to open this weekend, but dr. deborah birx is saying well, let's take it slow in areas where there is high prevalence of the disease. this two statements are not in

odds with each other but certainly a tad more cautionary based on the data which she lives and dies by each and every day. one other point, trace, to make, the cdc morbidity mortality report just came out with a report what people fear most about reopening house of worship. march 6th-march 11th with strict mitigation regulations. there was a church in arkansas where one person came in infected with coronavirus. 35 other people got infected, three of them died and subsequent to that 26 more people in the community got infected and one more of them died. 6-1 cases in four deaths. not to say that wouldn't happen now because people wearing mask and staying further apart from each other but that is a worst-case scenario that everyone wants to avoid as these houses of worship had opened this weekend, trace. >> trace: population means tends to be a little bit on the older side, as well. john roberts live from the north

lawn, john, thank you former vice president joe biden facing backlash over this comment he made on a radio show this morning. >> we have more questions. if you have a problem, figure it out whether from your trip home. then you ain't black. >> trace: a senior advisor for biden said he made that statement and just. peter doocy is life for us in arlington, virginia, peter. >> trace with that comment joe biden is suggesting he believes he can count on the black vote in november, no questions asked. >> that is how i get elected every single time. i get overwhelming support for the black leadership, young and old, every poll shows me way ahead. and it's not just oh, you hear blacks or for biden. look at the polling data. polling data come on, man.

give me a little break here. this is where i come from. >> he is the presumptive nominee after blow out win in south carolina where the majority of democratic primary voters are black and set him success on supers tuesday. he tells anybody with questions about past fodor past segregation and colleagues in the senate he was vetted by the first black president that did not see a reason for alarm. biden and sandra said the comments made at the end of the breakfast club interview were in jest but let's be clear about what the mvp was saying, he woud make his distinction with the african-american community against trump in a-day period. but the black forces for trump right this "it is clear more than ever following these racist and dehumanizing remarks that joe biden believes black men and women are incapable of being independent or freethinking" and that we have this the only black

republican senator tim scott to. >> if you think about the numbers 1.3 million african-americans voted for trump. he said that 1.3 million african-americans that you are not black? who in the heck does he think he is? that is the most arrogant, outrageous comment i have heard in a very long time. and i take offense to that. >> still biden is confident in his position in the polls against president trump. he said this this morning as well about president trump. he said the more he talks, the better off i am. trace. >> trace: peter doocy life in virginia, thank you. fox news sunday anchor chris wallace, good to see you. it's been a long time. i want to quickly give your comments on what joe biden said on the radio. your thoughts. >> welcome i left that comment from the trump campaign or rather from the biden campaign the more trump -- i think the

more biden the better off trump he is. it was a really an appropriate thing to say. you know, there are lots of ways of saying my civil rights record is a lot stronger and longer than donald trump's. but to say if you are voting for him and not for me, a white man telling a black man you are not black, that is just you know giving a lot of ammunition to his opponents in this campaign. it is one of the reasons why i think a lot of people in the trump campaign are frustrated that joe biden remains largely hidden. sequestered in his basement his home in delaware because he's kind of able to make those many and if he comes back on the campaign trail history, there will be a lot of good things he says in a lot of very questionable things he says as well. >> trace: it is interesting,

chris, because i clicked on foxnews.com and the first headline chris wallace, chris wallace said joe biden needs to get out of the basement. but joe biden on that radio show this morning said this about being in the basement, listen. >> all of a sudden, it is hurting me. it is not hurting me. i'm ahead in all states, national polls, and the more he talks, the better off i am. >> trace: he might have a point because you look at the national poll fox news poll shows joe biden is up by eight points over president trump. so when you say he needs to get out of the basement, he is saying, this whole basement thing might be working out pretty well for me. >> yeah, but i don't think he can continue it through november. here is the point i'm making. he obviously needs to be careful like all americans do in terms of social distancing, masts, hand washing and all of that out, but at a certain point you have to think as the country begins to reopen and people are finding some ways, whether going

to the beach or memorial day weekend, you know, coming to a restaurant and staying 10 feet away from others or going into a store curbside service. the country is ready to emerge and at what point is joe biden, not saying he has to go out there and glad to hand in front of crowds of thousands of people, but find some way to get out of his home. you see the president, obviously, he's got a lot more protection. people that have gone up and tested. but in terms of town halls where everybody is 10 feet away from each other to get out in public. whether a press conference or a speech or some kind of town hall situation why biden can find a way to be one, safe and socially distance and follow the guidelines. but on the other hand, get out of the basement. >> trace: good insight, chris, good to see you, thank you, sir.

but we have to get this country up and running again. >> absolutely. as i said in the op-ed, it is not health versus the economy, health versus health by being locked in and shut away, we deny ourselves critical health care services. the economic and social dislocation from being shut down is leading to mental illness and suicide risk. we have thousands of cases not being screened and diagnosed and treated. we have kids with good pediatrics vaccination and procedures that are not happening at the mayo clinic, it was anxious to get them back up and running again. screenings and surgeries going. so this country has to get back to work. we have to get back to school. we have to get back to living and there are safe ways to do with things to president trump's response and the governor's leadership. >> trace: i'm wondering secretary azar, why florida? the vice president was in orlando, jacksonville but are
