washout. but sunday, a group size crowd came out and jammed the beach the second day. a lot of tourists who drove in other states here as well as locals. the police clearly yearning to get out of the house. people clearly yearning to get out of the house and back to traditional free coronavirus memorial day activities. for the most part groups and families seem to be doing a relatively good job abiding by the social distancing guidelines, but that was not always the case as the crowds got bigger. the room on the sand got smaller. sunny so from cocoa beach up to daytona beach, a lot of people turned out. police in daytona beach overwhelmed at times with the crowd blocking traffic, grouped together tightly. disregarding all that we have been advised to do for the past ten weeks. people did get out beyond the beaches.

weekend holiday with us. "the new york post" says this is a deplorables moment for joe biden, agree? >> well, time will tell, joe biden is a little bit different than hillary clinton. when hillary clinton uttered a gap late in the campaign, confirmed everybody's worst instincts about her, especially when it came to a lot of suburban and soft republicans who didn't like president trump and think candidate donald trump but weren't sure if they could vote for hillary clinton. those things basically told them, i was right. she's just a bridge too far no matter what i think about trump. i think former vice president biden has a lot more personal goodwill. what people have thought about him over his years in politics particularly because he was a very loyal vice president to the nation's first african-american president to give him some room to weather. but obviously, they would rather

this not happen. use all vice president biden quickly apologize. i have to say, leland, for a campaign that often looks like it's not moving on all cylinders at least during the democratic primaries which turned out not to matter, the fact that they were able to quickly apologize and quickly move on shows that there is operational, the operation has been elevated a bit. they understood what they were dealing with and they didn't want to give it too much time to fester. >> leland: what do you make of some of the african-american women conceivably on the vp short-list based on some of the things that former vice president has said coming out sort of saying we need to move on. we need to push this behind us. the apology was enough et cetera. do those kind of endorsements mean enough to put us behind or something the voters to work through? >> i think some voters will have to work through it come

obviously the president's campaign is trying to make sure the former vice president will never live it down. but i think key elements of the party come together and say nothing to see here, we understand who this man is, let's move on because we have bigger fish to fry commit is no different how we have seen top republicans come together and president trump may have tweeted this or said this. we know what matter is, the policies and if he really cares about america, let's move on. so these sorts of -- you don't lose your party, that is obviously a big deal. look my think over time the vice president has plenty of time to sort of prove his bona fide with minorities to vote democrat and they just want to have enough of a reason. i think what is key for biden's campaign is not to take these voters for granted appear they need to show up on a policy leg and they need to not act as though, obviously there is nowhere else for you to go. when you treat voters like

that -- 's >> leland: along those lines, we need to see a black agenda et cetera. we will see what the biden campaign rolls out, we move this to the conversation about the rnc in north carolina. this is a quote from the governor of north carolina talking about how he will be guided by science after president trump said that he might move the rnc out of north carolina. state health officials working with a currency will review the plan to make a decision how to hold a convention in charlotte. david, was this arguing for the next call so to speak or was this a legitimate threat you think by the president to move the rnc with a logistical, heavy lift to a nightmare? >> well, the president may have meant it as a legitimate threat. he usually says what he means. but they have spent over a year planning this convention. when you plan these conventions, leland, as you know this is not

like a normal event. there is a reason why they picked this site so far out. they basically set up a separate corporation, if you will have spent all their time raising money, planning logistics, the secret service and so the president just wants to give a speech accepting the nomination in an arena full of people, there are other states where he can do that in the day of the week. >> leland: mike pence was talking about texas/georgia/florida in a sound about right. i want to get your answer on this real quick. north carolina the president won by a little more than 3%, 3.7%. how critical is having the convention in north carolina for the republicans to continue to keep it red? >> welcome i think we should look at it like this. had they chosen somewhere else for the convention, i don't think it would matter that much. potentially yanking the convention costing people business, time and money after

the planning and so many states whether democratic or republican governors beginning to open up my think it might cause a little bit of a loom. but at the end of the day, they are likely to leave it in north carolina because so many states are opening up. a lot of the states where the vice president talked about moving, georgia he probably means atlanta or something similar. a lot of democratic mayors, city's counsel and then you have another layer of political resistance potentially to move the convention. >> leland: excellent point, great analysis come appreciated come all the best. >> leland, thank you. >> arthel: the judge and the michael flynn case reportedly hiring his own lawyer as the appeals court does not want to grant the justice department to dismiss the case. former acting attorney general matt whitaker ways in next. ♪ with right at home, it doesn't.

♪ >> leland: welcome back. a u.s. district court judge ed sullivan has taken the highly unusual step of hiring an attorney to represent him. this in an appeals court reviewing his decision to not immediately grant the justice department's request to dismiss its case against former national security advisor michael flynn. gillian turner live in d.c. with the latest in the saga appeared just when you think something you haven't figured out, you get another strange twist like this. >> and it is this just that, leland. a new twist in this unfolding case that legal experts say has really followed a highly, highly unusual passed since day one. the foreign national security advisor michael flynn. and u.s. district judge emmet

sullivan has hired a trial lawyer to appeal to a court why to dismiss the case against flynn. that is something the justice department justice department already recommended earlier this month. the d.c. court of appeals is giving judge sullivan's handling of the case a closer look. they have ordered him to explain why he's it's going against the grain by appointing the retired judge to his case. the congressman doug collins who sits on house judiciary says this is unprecedented, take a listen. >> you have a judge she was offering outside of frankly the parameters of a normal judge in this kind of case so if it goes forward and there is more action to force his hand, he is looking at his counsel a guest to make sure he's doing what he thinks he should be doing. but right now, it is just wrong. >> judge sullivan's attorney, wilkinson who reportedly joined the case officially this week. wilkinson is a prominent d.c.

attorney who prosecuted mcveigh for the oklahoma city bombing and multiple people connected to the email and just worked with justice brett kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing. now the legal sources tell us it is highly, highly unusual for a district judge like sullivan to hire an outside attorney to help explain his legal rationale and his legal thinking as the case is unfolded. his response is due a from tod today. leland. >> leland: fascinating twist and turns in this you have been covering for the past couple of years, gillian turner, thanks. arthel. >> arthel: all right, leland, we will get more from matt whitaker acting attorney general. thank you for joining us. let's jump right in. so here it is, emmett sullivan said he wanted time to review whether the immediate dismissal of michael flynn's case was legal or ethically appropriate.

so how is this judicial overreach on the part of the judge who is presiding over the case? why would he need a personal attorney? what is the potential legal jeopardy? >> this is unprecedented in my expanse and i've served in the u.s. attorney and acting chief of staff of the department of justice. what i see is a criminal procedure don't allow for what judge sullivan is doing. obviously the appeals court with which a writ of mandamus sought to compel him to dismiss the case. and the doj motion. also looking at this carefully, i think to have a federal judge hire outside counsel to argue why he is trying to follow the law. the filing on june 1st will be a fascinating look into the mind of the judge, but also to see how he has twisted the rules to somehow keep this case alive. >> arthel: but how is it that he twisted the rules? michael flynn admitted that he lied under oath three times

including judge sullivan. michael flynn reportedly told judge sullivan that the fbi did not trick him into admitting that he lied about his contact. and now, flynn wants to take the confession back so matt, and i ask you is it for the doj to dismiss his guilty plea? does that put future cases on a slippery slope and doesn't undermine the authority of federal judges? >> i don't think so, arthel. and the department of justice to get the cases and the courts provide the form to make sure the rules are enforced but the department of justice is the one that prosecutes and ultimately determines who to charge, who to prosecute. they have said they no longer because of serious reasons. >> let me jump in for a second. i want to hear your explanation but coming to mind, why would we

need federal judges then? >> again, the federal judges >> leland>> arthel: to make thel say? >> the judges make sure that justice is done and the criminal procedure but also have a role in the system, but the judges are a different branch of government the prosecutorial power resides in the executive branch through the u.s. attorneys and through the department of justice. so when the department of justice determines a case was brought that was not material of an ongoing investigation, that is a reason to dismiss the case. and there is no discretion on the judge based on the current state of the law. >> arthel: now the u.s. appeals court in d.c. has told judge sullivan who has been a u.s. federal judge for 26 years that he has ten days to respond. listen, you are a formal -- formal -- former acting attorney general and what would

you like to see happen in this case and michael flynn brought e trump administration? >> welcome i think what the judge and what the court of appeals is going to do is they will hear the arguments and determines a writ of mandamus telling judge sullivan to dismiss the case is going to issue. it is the right outcome. ultimately who was in the administration is solely up to the president to determine who he has confidence in and who he wants, and honorable lifetime and i'm sure if the president would like general flynn back, he will have him back. >> arthel: circling back to the top, why does judge sullivan need a personal attorney? >> welcome up from judge sullivan's perspective to make those arguments in the court of appeal is probably a good idea. and it would be strange to have a district court judge make filings on his own behalf in a court. we always have advocates for positions. but i think it also demonstrates

emmett sullivan knows he's out on a limb here and probably gone beyond his power as a judge. i think he's being safe in protecting by hiring an advocate of this level. >> arthel: okay, judge judge sullivan has gone beyond his power and michael flynn should be back in the white house during the administration if so chooses, correct? >> again, i talk a lot about this in my new book how the president and the unitarian executive has certain roles in our constitutional system. we need to make sure he exercises those roles and the court exercises its roles in its discretion. but once judges start to become executive branch and tries to prosecute cases, tha that is what we have in the general flynn case. >> arthel: okay. but do you not even have the right to, you know, sort of review the case and investigate

what his decision would be? >> arthel under the federal rules of criminal procedure, once the government decides to low longer pursue a case, there is no law that allows him to review, essentially administrative decision that the judge has to dismiss once the federal government and the executive branch, doj decides to low longer pursue a case. >> arthel: all right, matt whitaker, thank you for joining us and thank you for your advice from your legal perspective, thank you very much, take care. leland. >> leland: as we contend this memorial day, there is a dual rally taking place in chicago honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and also calling for the end of coronavirus lockdowns. both sides of that rally when we come back.

♪ >> leland: live pictures from

chicago at 12:30 central time where memorial day rally is honoring american's fallen heroes, but a lot of folks there are calling for an end to the coronavirus shutdown and easing restrictions aim to slow the spread of the virus. those restrictions still continue in chicago. mike tobin live at grant park with more, hi, mike. >> leland, one of the organizers say they are not ignoring but of course, the lockdown. anthony to reopen illinois. they say essentially the complaint that they have is that rights are being trampled in the name of disease protection. specifically, the right to peaceful assembly and the pursuit of happiness. one of the things the organizers made a point of as we look around, by the way, we have upwards of i would say upwards of 200 people. it is an ad hoc demonstration because one of the points they were making they did not apply for a permit. they believe they don't need a

permit because they have the right to a peaceful assembly. the organizers say they have a sophisticated and the chicago police have not confirmed that yet. but as far as the argument, this organization has had demonstrations in the past that have been peaceful but as far as the argument getting together with people to spread the virus and therefore a need for more lockdown, the scientists do not back that. people get out in the fresh air, sunlight, it will do more good for their health. but as you know, the lockdown in illinois has rather severe and a cash-strapped state for illinois that needs the businesses that are suffering. and a pretty severe coronas by risk case 100,000 confirmed cases in about 5,000 people who have died. so that is a demonstration we have out here today recognizing memorial day, recognizing the veterans who gave their life for free and the freedoms being

trampled on, leland. >> leland: a lot of stories of going to iowa, wisconsin, missouri to patronize those businesses and obviously come at the protest talking about, mike. >> arthel: leland come as you know americans are getting hard hit. financially by the coronavirus pandemic and all the businesses are starting to reopen, millions of people are unemployed or working at reduced salaries. bills continue to pile up as the investments has fallen. what should people be doing with this fallout? let's bring in an economist and vice president of the national association of federally insured credit unions. hurt, jumping in here, this caught everyone off guard. people had emergency money on the side and this happened. many have depleted everything and they are out of work. so how can they plan from this

point on? >> sure. well i think one thing that we've been a little bit surprised at, how quickly the demand has started now that we are starting to sort of do a phase for reopening. so i guess something that i would impress on consumers right now, you know, many are struggling and many have been kept full or even more this process through some of the fiscal support that they received and that's great for the time being i would be cautious, their jobs, even if they are employer has survived this process so far. and even if they do get back to business, those jobs are still in a vulnerable state right now.

and paying down obligations in the event of potentially more long-term job loss. >> arthel: that is a good point that a lot of people don't have the extra money to put aside an individual to they don't qualify for a stimulus. they just missed that cart off, but they are still hurting financially. what can they do? is unemployment the only answer? i'm not sure how you see about unemployment will only get you so far and will not make you hole. >> sure come i think that is where the $600 knockoff to employment really plays a big role, but even there i would caution if you are in that category of receiving assistance right now, there is no guarantee that that will last beyond july. and so you need to be aware of that.

i'm thinking sort of down the road to some of those, you know, beyond july. >> arthel: meanwhile you have 52% of small and medium businesses they expect to be out of business within six months. what is their lifeline? >> i think that is the source of a lot of my concerns right now, when you look at how the job market is going to shape up, we will need small businesses, you know, amazon can hire all of us. spirits with too many small businesses go under because of this, when it comes time for the whole nation >> i think that should relate direct the focus of congress to smart small businesses even more so than they have been thus far.

the paycheck protection program was a sort of signature program enacted in the cares act that did subpart done provide support to small businesses i think more is needed to. >> arthel: so more stimulus is needed. unemployment. is that what you're saying? >> that is correct and the interplay of those two things is interesting too. as we try to reopen, you are running into the situation where some people come as i said earlier has been made whole through the support that has been given or even more so. and so, we need to deal with that. how do we provide the right incentives for people to go back to work? how do we provide the right incentives for business owners so they are not caught in a situation that, you know, where

they are ready to hire people back. potentially jeopardize someone's benefit and i think all of that should be sort of the focus for the next round for policymakers. >> arthel: all right kirk alone we we appreciate your time this weekend, thank you very much, leland. >> leland: on this memorial day, different way to honor america has fallen heroes and we will show you how folks across the country are paying tribute while still say dominic staying safe. d nutrients to support immune health.

program called america stands tall that will air on most networks today. virtual events also held on zoom and other line platforms, but whether you can attend one or not, the veteran say there is much people can do to say thank you to those who serve. >> we honor our veterans every single day by taking care of them, housing units. people can reach out to veterans organizations. make a contribution for just to offer support to the veterans who are struggling. >> that national moments of silence should be at 3:00 today. a proclamation signed by president clinton back in 2,000, arthel. >> arthel: all right, dan springer, thank you very much, leland. >> leland: patients and doctors are using virtual portals to communicate amid the pandemic and all business with

character -- cared of veterans and all over the world. adam, ceo health solutions, we appreciate you being with us on this memorial day, help us understand how businesses change for you all now. this has got to be in many ways the only way people can see their doctor. >> it is interesting, leland, telehealth is a big thing right now and what is interesting is we are a telehealth company. an opportunity for people to face time with their doctor and make an educated guess what is going on with them. of course telemedicine can actually provide diagnostic information and data to physician remotely via the use of telemedicine kids. the differentiator there is basically guessing versus knowing. so it gives the ability for a doctor to remotely diagnose, which is a game changing technology, we believe. that is why we got into this business three years ago.

i will tell you supporting the military and the va, one of the biggest focus is for us. >> leland: interestingly enough one of the big issues in the v8 to do with veterans not close to a va hospital and being able to see doctors in their local city, how to pay for it, et cetera, a bill through congress and issues with that. but where does this fall in and how do you all deal with the va and et cetera? >> that is a great question. so rule access to care is a big issue for the ba. we met with the secretary and the head of the connected care over at the vap rates we have been heavily involved over the last couple of years with the va. one of the ways that we really help veterans, especially those chronically ill or have continuing issues with her psychological issues ptsd is a big thing for my peers and my colleagues after 20 years. i personally was deployed six

times with four different war zones. i know a lot of guys and girls that are either words for aware or didn't make it which is quite sad. but one of the ways we can help veterans is by sending like a telemedicine kit that does diagnostics and has the ability to do that with the docks. so we can remotely diagnose and follow up on problems and monitor chronic illnesses. >> leland: at a time like this when there were so many doctors unable to see patients because nonessential or nonimmediate needs, how does this work in terms of the building with insurance companies or the va, or the doctors with reimbursement for a telemedicine the visit as if they came to your office? >> yes as the cares act new laws have been passed, there is parity for the most part in person and telehealth. so my guess is frankly the start to the industry, the real start that it needed but a sad,

unfortunate start, it will say is a company we have been working day and night to try to bring solutions to our military men and women, downrange around the world and provide better levels of care and as well as trying to help veterans and their homes. we work on the medicare commercial site as well. one thing i would like to announce this is exciting news for our company and today, if you are the first to know, we will provide the first fda approved for emergency use at home saliva based covid-19 test kit. in the telemedicine we provide the services and testing, which is just amazing capability. so i appreciate you having us on to talk about it. >> leland: we appreciate your service and obviously you are spending part of this memorial day remembering the brave men and women you fought alongside and infect our thoughts and prayers are with him.

service go want to. and how large to allow them to be. the cdc has issued guidelines for the worship to reopen. some are pushing back and states are simply not ready for indoor gatherings of more than 25 people. >> i would hope we would get two houses of worship sooner than later but we want to make sure we do it right, responsibly and we don't kill anybody by doing it too fast. >> finally memorial day we can across the country, tourist gathering different spots including lake of the ozarks in missouri where some videos reveal a conspicuous lack of social distancing. missouri has had more than 11,000 cases of the virus. the cdc said it cannot be transmitted through water but can be transmitted through proximity. and there's not proximity between those people. >> leland: gaining a lot of

national attention and not the best of reasons, steve harrigan, thank you very much. americans are headed to the beach this memorial day we can. the beaches that are open including the northeast. the states have eased the number of kronos -- coronavirus and that beach is totally empty. laura ingle live at vito beach where there are more people there, hi, laura. >> hi, leland that they got off to a slow start because it was cool and cloudy and that helped keep the crowds down but as the sun emerged, so did the people in with the outcome of the great experiment of the week and moves on. can people socially distance at the beach, the park, the pools that we had seen throughout this weekend as they have been asked? the answer differs from state to state as you have seen. along the northeast and the beaches, we see people out and about getting back in abiding by the rules. others getting a little too close for comfort.

and harris mentioned there was this group of people that were turned to a hard "no" on distance thing and the lake of the ozarks in missouri with hundreds of people going shoulder to shoulder. that is not what health officials want to see. they say that this is downright dangerous and some worshipers from california will heed to the warnings as we are not out of the was just checked. they do applaud those who are taking safety precautions seriously. >> we are happy to be here and a nice place to take our kids outside. we love the beach. we have been going to beaches ever since march from early april when the weather started turning. so, we just are happy to be outside. >> county officials in new york and throughout the usa they planned to debrief. they compare notes this week to see what worked and what didn't to help plan for it.

>> we will see how we are looking forward to good capacity, 50% capacity. anything, any kinks in it we will make sure to address them so we will have a big weekend coming up fourth of july, labor day at the end of the season. we are hoping for a successful summer. >> of course that's what everyone wants, leland. as summer heats up we know the crowds will swell and of course, a second wave comes and so health officials hoping people will heed the warning, back to you. >> leland: laura, where you are at not far from new york city and a debate whether they would allow people from the city to come out to the sort of relative suburban if not suburban areas on long island. how is that going? >> you know, it is going well. i heard of a beach called nickerson beach in the town of vito beach on long island as we mentioned. on this beach ran by

nasa county, there is only nassau county people allowed to. you have to show your i.d. to get here but down the road jones beach a state park and anybody is allowed to come. and other sources saying a different rule for jurisdiction happening and of course, that was a big concern. people from new york city not allowed to go on the water but you go to jones beat where you are allowed on the water and more people on the beach and a greater chance of breaking social distancing rules so it's been one to watch this week for sure. >> leland: all the rules and laura ingle on the beach in new york, laura, thank you, arthel. >> arthel: leland, did you ever think that we would be bothered about cross-contamination when it comes to human beings, right? >> leland: i will say this, like and think about is my home state of missouri and lake of the ozarks. from there, it it just not dolma it just does not bode well for my home state is all i can say. >> arthel: i've been watching

the ozarks so you have to take me there one time and show me around. >> leland: it is an experience. >> arthel: okay. let me bring in republican senator steve of montana, steve dan, thank you so much and putting up with that little crosstalk between legal and to myself here. listen, we all want the economy to reopen. you know this most americans want safety first. what is on your mind as americans try to ease back, just as nearing 100,000 americans having lost their lives to the coronavirus? that still poses a great threat. >> today and a place like montana, it looks very different than new york. we've had less than five covid-1covid-19 cases throughoue state. we've been hit hard economically. in fact you compare the unemployment rates of those who have lost their job the last

eight weeks to the neighboring states, montana wants to get back to work and they want a return to normal. it is a beautiful day today in montana. people want to get outside. the national parks have opened up. it is time to safely reopen the parks, safe to reopen for the economy and get back to work. >> when you say safely, how does that look? >> for example with the superintendent of national yellowstone, they have precautions in place to do extra care on cleaning restrooms and so forth. so there are ways to get back outside and return to normal. we have to be able to manage the covid-19 pandemic as well as we reopen the economy. the challenge we face, 38 million plus americans out of work. there are other associated outcomes that are very bad, increased suicide, depression, domestic violence and we are

seeing those rights. it is important to keep that in mind with 3800 americans. >> arthel: do you feel, do you have confidence in your people in your constituents to follow the rules? hey, guys, we want to get businesses open again and we want to get you out there. we want to get you working again. we don't want to kill the economy there. can you depend on them to adhere to the mask and the various social distancing and all the other guidelines out there to contain the spread of the virus? >> will, this comes down to common sense. i literally returned from a beautiful memorial day ceremony today. that i spoke at and we had hundreds of people there. people respecting distance.

some were wearing masks come of course this year's senior citizens, one to take extra precaution. this comes back to common sense. and keep in mind there are other negative outcomes associated with unemployment. so we have to balance the two. we have to be pushing for an president trump is right. he is right a lot of states to have their own ideas. a place like montana, our covid-19 cases were relatively mild compared to other states. but the economy has been hit especially hard. it is time to get people safely back to work. >> arthel: all right, senator, let's move on to this. that is i want to turn to mail in voting. your executive order allowing counties to opt in to all male voting. it turns all county chose to do so-and-so the voting clerk supervisors have spoken but do you agree with their decision? >> well, we are coming forward

with the selection and we have a primary on june 2nd. however, the democrats are using the covid-19 crisis to up and the rule of law and undermine the integrity of the system. we saw nancy pelosi's bill that she put forward that would put the financial mandates on top of the states. the states have primary responsibility to control the election law. so to undermine the integrity of the election but here in montana is a bigger problem. there were two lawsuits filed, one that challenged pallet harvesting, that is not allowed in montana. the democrats lead the charge that ballot harvesting is allowed. 70% of montana hands oppose ballot harvesting. additionally, chuck schumer and the senatorial democrats just challenge the ability now to take any ballot returned after election day still must be counted appear that goes against

what our laws talk about in montana and the integrity of the election. right here in montana. >> arthel: i beg your pardon, i'm a little confused because i asked you about mail in voting. so then you went directly to fraud. so this mail in voting does it guarantee voter fraud? >> so mail in voting is something we agreed to. they have a cut off date june 2nd. ballot harvesting is one of the issues and in fact we have a lot in place that does not allow ballot harvesting. a judge just ruled -- >> arthel: what does that mean exactly? >> so we allow in the state of montana -- this will allow people to go collect ballots from anybody that you would like and bring it in mass back to the election headquarters. that is why if you poll, 77% of montana opposed ballot harvesting. >> arthel: so you are saying you can just go out and take

anybody who is not registered to vote and collect a vote and that will be counted? is that what you are telling me? >> they would have their ballots but you can take massive people who have ballots at their home. and this is where you run into a problem like in california, montana, you can't return more than six ballots per person. they just threw that wall out here this week with a judge pier that starts to undermine the integrity and the rule of orderd law here as it relates to managing an election. if you allude to the integrity of the election, you lose everything. >> arthel: and you lose the confidence of the people who want they are one vote to count. so let's hope we can all get it together for the sake of the very freedoms that we all enjoy which is a right to vote and have our vote count. senator daines, thank you a pleasure speaking with you. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me on. >> leland: joe biden making his up parents in more than two months. here is a video of him

♪ >> arthel: the democratic nominee joe biden out on this memorial day, making his first in person appearance since mid-march. to lay a wreath at the delaware veterans memorial park. the former vp is still dealing with the fallout over his comments of black voters in a radio interview that aired friday morning. peter doocy's life with more on the 2020 race, hey, peter. >> arthel, it had been ten and

half weeks the last time we saw joe biden in person for a speech in wilmington about covid-19. fast forward to this morning, the end of may, biden and his wife dr. jill biden emerge for the first time this cycle. we got to see him with a full secret service detail. both of them had thick, black mask to make it hard to fit make out what he was saying. never forget the sacrifices that these men and women made. never, ever forget. the two at the delaware national park where he has been quarantined. he did speak to two, safe social distance but we have no idea when the next time we will see him not on zoom, arthel. >> arthel: let's go to president trump and his apparently threatening to move the republican convention this summer. tell us about that, peter.

>> yeah, because he thinks the democratic governor of the state that wants to host the republican convention might not have things opened up soon enough. so we tweeted this in part "i love the great state of north carolina so much i had the republican national convention in charlotte at the end of august. unfortunately roy cooper is in shutdown mode and unable to guarantee that by august we will be allowed full attending in the arena. in other words we would be spending millions of dollars to a high standard without even knowing if the democratic governor would allow the republican party to fully occupied the space. and the vice president has now elaborated on that. >> we look forward to working with the governor cooper, getting a swift response and if need be, moving the national convention to a state that is farther along on reopening and can say with confidence that we can gather there.

>> a spokesman for the democratic party says state health officials are working with the rnc and will review its plans as they make decisions how to hold the convention in charlotte, north carolina. relying on data and science to protect our state's public health and safety. in the president has not yet hinted what state he might move it to come up at "new york times" reporting he has been using about possibly a ballroom in florida, arthel. >> arthel: wow, this is so intriguing because you think about the virus is everywhere. so hopefully, we can find a safe space where everybody can get their jobs done and to be safe at the same time. peter doocy, always a pleasure to see you, thank you. all right, leland. >> leland: we bring in the political panel, chris wilson and he worked on ted cruz's presidential campaign. , nice to see you, chris, to

you, you take this as a real threat or does the president and vp and the rnc posturing a little bit here to try to box cooper in? >> no, i think it is absolutely a real threat. it is amazing roy cooper is willing to risk chasing republican convention out of his state just because he wants to be in control of what people can do. can be a huge boost of charlotte to save north carolina and related damage of the hotel, restaurant and events business. alone, three or four people for the year. what is really shocking about this and cooper's response, as you just read off as it is received across the country these lockdowns have moved beyond flattening the curve or caution based or science based caution. i was in oklahoma where we pretty much moved on from it and the numbers continually drop. and you look at texas, florida, georgia, all opportunities. >> leland: let me bring in on

this because you bring up an interesting point. let's look at this totally from a political standpoint. you know the most sense, trump won north carolina by a couple of points appear there is a reason he's having the convention in north carolina, which is conceivably, it has some good health in effect come november and a reason for example president obama had the 2008 convention in denver, colorado. so in a way. >> but the dnc in milwaukee this year. >> leland: if the dnc in milwaukee even happens. but is he playing politics with this on the other side and running the dnc out of or the rnc out of north carolina perhaps a good thing for democrats? >> i don't think it is a good thing for democrats because i don't think it is a good thing for north carolina. because as my colleague on the panel joe said, this has a direct, economic impact for the people of charlotte. i think it will be difficult from a logistical standpoint to

move this convention from charlotte because it takes much time and effort to plan these conventions. i know this from when the rnc was in cleveland four years ago. i'm a democrat. it has nothing to do with politics. it has to do with economic development and showcasing. but the state come i don't think it is good politics, but i do think it is important to make sh measures are adhered to. you are dealing with 50,000, 60,000 people in an enclosed space. my mother is a delegate for the national convention. so i am concerned for her and i'm concern for others. i don't know any other place in the country allowing that large of a scale of an event, but i have faith both in north carolina and the rnc to come to a resolve. >> leland: i want to get now to the issue peter doocy joe biden and. miranda devine an and a column saying this this was a

deplorable moment -- moment. his internal has been faulty but deserted him entirely. an explosion that narrows his options for a running mate into choosing a woman. now charlemagne says the only way to a tone is to choose a black woman. is it that cut and dry? >> i don't think so. number one, i mean, look let me say this my think everyone agrees that what vice president biden said was cringeworthy. and i think, you know, it may be enough to get some african-americans to sit at home and frankly, i think that while vice president biden has not had an opportunity to be out on the campaign trail, it might be a good thing because we are seeing some of these gaps. i don't think it's all about identity politics. who knows. i also don't think a running mate makes that big of a difference in the scheme of things. it always becomes a big deal, deep state. >> leland: made a very big

deal for john mccain picking sarah palin. chris, to you on this, the trump campaign seems to think they can capitalize on this and bring over african-american voters. is this a big enough of a cap for that opening to be meaningful eight months from now? or five months from now? i certainly agree that it's better off for the campaign that biden stay in his basement. but cannot be capitalized on? the dash 2012 to put you back and change, what biden is doing is potentially making himself a "yes" but candidate. i will still vote for him. yes, he makes racists and very demeaning comments about african-americans, but i will still vote for him. at some point that yes but becomes know. and i don't know that he's reached it but he comes closer every time he opens his mouth. >> leland: chris capri, appreciated, take care, guys. >> thank you. >> arthel: all right, leland let's go to a phone call for your protesters are happening

studies. >> at stanford university. so, let's talk about those students who are still in college. let's get the how to help in college and universities safely get students back on campus come this fall? >> well, arthel, you have seen universities like the university of notre dame make arrangements to do this. so bringing students back on campus means ensuring once they get back on campus, they are tested so the university understands who might have coronavirus infection and who might not. putting some contact tracing so that when and if there are outbreaks during the course of an academic term, you are to identify who someone's been in touch with, who they been in contact with. ideally the limit of that virus around social distancing in classrooms, putting in place additional hygiene recommendations in dorms where it may be tough to social

distance so you are combining a lot of tools that we know how to use to try to limit the scope and the spread of the virus while bringing students back on campus because that really is an important part of that college experience. the one here is what i'm thinking if i'm going back to school this fall, like the idea of testing but here is the thing, we know that not all testing is equal. so some of them may be more reliable and some less reliable. so is the responsibility on the universities to secure the testing and then are we talking about repeat testing? how often with the students have to be tested? >> so the university has to play a big role. and a lot have associated medical centers with tests. the current standard is the virus and a point in time test. someone could test negative and positive or a few hours later. what we are hoping for is more

accurate antibody test that protect against the coronavirus. then we also have a better sense of science that tells us the coronavirus anybody tests, those antibodies are protected against a virus for some period of time after as well. so in an ideal setting, we want to have the antibody tests available in the fall. the reality is we will be combining these current tests that determine whether one has an infection with that science with antibody test as they get more reliable, combining those test with a antibody test to get a better picture of what is happening in a student body. >> arthel: yeah my get it, but i know you will continue and we will probably talk to you again as we get closer to the fall. the universities are really, really, really grappling with this as you well know. lanhee chen commercial really good to talk to you, thank you. >> thanks, arthel. >> arthel: the efforts to reopen american including many jim so what needs to be done to
