>> ed: a fox news alert on americans heading to beaches and parks as more states these restrictions including this massive crowd at the lake of the ozarks in missouri. that is sparking a quarantines because of concern about a second spike of cases. meanwhile, governor andrew cuomo in new york delays reopening the u.s. at the center of the pandemic, new york city, new york, city. >> people can speculate and people can guess. i think next week, i think two weeks, i think a month. i'm out of that business because we all failed at that business. all the early national experts coming here is my projection model, here's my projection model, they were all wrong. >> ed: at this all comes as a white house announces new travel restrictions on brazil which now has the second-highest number of coronavirus cases behind the u.s. our chief white house correspondent john roberts has more details on all that and where we stand this morning. good morning, john. >> this takes effect at midnight tonight and it is the first

travel restriction that the united states has imposed in quite a while now. the president and vice president and other white house staffers hinting at it last week but on sunday night they announced they would be taking action. the president citing the high number of cases in brazil now around 377,000. as you pointed out the second-highest in the world for the need to restrict travel to foreign nationals in brazil. in a statement the press secretary caitlin mike kayleigh mcenany says that will help ensure that those in brazil do not become an additional source of infections in our country. these new restrictions do not apply to the flow of commerce between united states and brazil. the brazilian president has been criticized for being cavalier about coronavirus, for focusing on the nation's economy about the spread of the virus, the mayor of manaus which is the city of more than 2 million people called on the president to resign. this traveler from brazil also critical of the president.

>> i think that they're in the u.s., trump took the decision of banning travelers coming from brazil. here are our president does not want to take such a decision. he does not believe too much in the virus and he does not believe that our country needs to take measures. i think we need a president taking such decisions, that's what we need. >> he and his entourage came to mar-a-lago where at least one member of his entourage was sick with coronavirus. it turned out that i he wasn't exposed in any way that would have made them sick. they are just starting to get into winter and up near the amazon the states are fairly warm. it will be cooler in the capital city of sao paulo and they have yet to meet or reach their peak of coronavirus cases. it's probably going to get worse in brazil before it gets better which is why the president pulled the trigger on this latest restriction.

>> ed: all right we will watch it. >> sandra: joe biden out of the basement making his first public appearance in two months laying a wreath to honor our fallen soldiers at a delaware war memorial. >> sandra: let's bring in acts news reporter jonathan swan. there he was emerging from his basement for the first time in two months, how is his new uxpected appearance been perceived. >> its individual contrast that both sides want. joe biden is trying his team, and that's the model cdc guidelines and behaviors wearing masks, taking the virus in a very cautious manner, staying home and abiding by delaware

estate home order. on the other side of the split screen we have president trump's advisors in the president himself who want to create a very stark visual contrast with biden and they want to make trump the candidate who is pushing every opening of the economy. president trump not wearing a mask and getting out there, he wants to have a boisterous live in person convention which again would be another visual contrast with the democratic convention which is expected to have many more virtual elements and that is the week before in august. >> very interesting. what do you think this tells us about his eventual in person campaigning, that his campaign said will happen eventually? >> well we don't know. i don't have any specificity from biden's team on when he's going to resume in person campaigning. i'm not convinced that they are

fully decided on that point that they are going to be doing it. when you see it, i expect it will be done in a very cautious and deliberate way, emphasizing again the cdc guidelines, wearing a mask, social distancing, all of those things. they are convinced that the health aspects of this and trying to draw a stark line in contrasting biden's response to the health aspects of this crisis to be something that is politically advantageous. >> sandra: you mentioned the president sticking to his position to reopen the economy and making his goal to do that safely and quickly as possible. we look at the latest fox news polling and while many voters do still favored joe biden on some of the key issues including the handling of china and the coronavirus in health care, they

still favor donald trump 45%-42% over biden on the economy. i want to get york reaction to a critical headline. this goes with jason furman's prediction on the economy. in it, it we will see the best economic data with ever seen in this country. that will offer trump the chance to brag truthfully about the most explosive monthly employment numbers and gdp growth ever. this is a former obama economist speaking to a room of bipartisan economists and fed observers, et cetera. and he shocks the crowd by saying, this will be different, this will be a spike, this will

be a bounce back in the rapid economy. and possibly, as we get near the election. >> if that scenario plays out as mr. furman described it, of course it would benefit president trump. but many other economists have more so for predictions including president trump's economic advisor kevin hassett who predicted unemployment to go to 20% in may and he said, they could still be double digits unemployment in november. he said that in a sunday show interview over the weekend. they are probably going to have strong growth comparatively speaking and we have had a great depression level shock to the economy. because the 40 million americans unemployed, terrible, terrible gdp numbers.

and for president trump it's a matter of timing. the key question to both sides will the economy be on an upward trajectory in october to the extent to which the general public can say, you know what? we are heading in the right direction and president trump is the right man to take us there. and that's completely separate numbers. >> sandra: and jason furman's prediction is in line with what we've heard from the white house economic advisors including larry kudlow who is coming up live on this program later. he likened his prediction to more like a natural disaster hitting when we have a strong economy and natural disaster happens and then the quick rebound you see after that compared to the pandemic hitting.

jonathan swan, great to see you this morning. thank you. >> in the meantime it's a billionaires i don't like the idea of boosting the economy. mark cuban will tell us how he thinks the federal government can kick-start a recovery. plus, a fox news alert, a growing chorus in washington to punish china for its new crackdown on hong kong while holding beijing accountable for the pandemic. senator john kennedy, there he is, brand-new reaction next. >> under its current circumstances it's hard to see how secretary pompeo could make that certification. if he fails to make that certification there are consequences to come with it, sanctions and others.

>> sandra: flash floods trapping 20 hikers in virginia, after heavy rains left them stranded in a recreational area known as the devils bathtub. swift water rescue teams jumping into action over the holiday weekend and everyone was brought to safety with only a few minor injuries reported. >> china has been eating our lunch, thank god that president trump has stood up to china and we are going to make them pay for the coronavirus.

if china told the world the truth you wouldn't have so many dead americans and so many people out of work. >> ed: center lindsey graham boston china for the handling of the coronavirus outbreak. as a communist governor wraps up tensions with the u.s., warning of a brand-new cold war. this escalation coming as the beijing tries to tighten its grip on hong kong and the white house is now threatening sanctions of china in response. joining us now live, louisiana senator john kennedy. senator come welcome. >> thank you. >> ed: there is a bill circulating as you know to follow through on their white house threat and sanction china. are you signing on and if so, why? >> i haven't read the bill but i will probably sign on. we have to face the facts with china. first it's important to distinguish between the people of china and the chinese communist party which is populated by thud among thugs. number two, you can't trust the

communist party ever. i wouldn't turn my back on them if they were two days dead. number three, china strength and china's bullying has been frankly caused by the weaning this of the world and leaders. for 20 years they have said be patient with china, free enterprise will change them. well, they change free enterprise. the united kingdom should have never given up hong kong to china in 1997. and we should have protested more. and at number four, weakness invites the wolves. that's all the chinese communist party understands. we have to push back and join the rest of the world and encourage them to do so including but not limited to sanctions. we may have to revoke special trade status with hong kong. the people of hong kong have

faced a tough decision here, they can get out or they can fight to the very end but china is taking them over. >> ed: senator, you talk about weakness and weaning-nestled around the world, they had some comments suggesting they think it's going to blow over. >> there is no need for us to worry because time and again in the last 23 years, whenever people worried about hong kong's freedoms or freedom of expression or protest, time and again hong kong has proven that we uphold and preserve those values. >> ed: no need to worry she says, senator. >> well if that's carrie lam, i couldn't tell, she runs hong kong and she is o owned lo, stock, and barrel by xi jinping. if you took xi jinping and turned him upside down and shook him, carrie lam falls out of his

pocket. you might as well have a xi jinping in charge of hong kong, she's just a puppet. >> ed: it's what do we do about it senator? when china warns about a brand-new cold the war, can we deal with the trade war and economic cold war with china right now when we are dealing with something like the great depression? >> well i don't want a new cold war with china but that's up to china. the first thing we need to do is join with our allies, australia, japan, india and europe. if they will grow some guts. canada, canada has had trouble with china and we need to push back on the chinese. i'm sorry, the chinese communist party. we may have to revoke the special trading status of hong kong. if hong kong is not going to beach separate from china, why should we treat them as a different entity?

basically what we have to do is come up the leaders, they got to grow some oranges. the only one that's been willing to stand up to china is trump. then it's just a fact, hate him or love him, we are saying we are not going to shove america around. doesn't mean we shouldn't talk to him but we have to stop being a bunch of. >> ed: grow some oranges, haven't had that, for a while. a reporter wearing a mask and then claiming the citizens around him art wearing a mask. and then someone said hang on. the cameraman is somewhere in

one either. >> you can see, no one is not wearing them. >> the cameraman is an wearing one. >> striking images, trying to call people out for not wearing a mask when one of their own team is not wearing one either. what's going on here senator? >> just like the press in our leaders, the american people have been asked to be responsible, we need to ask our friends in the press to be responsible. and to report the facts. here are the facts. the coronavirus can kill you. it's not going to kill most of us, most of us are going to get it. number two, we know social distancing works. stay 6 feet away and if you are elderly and pre-existing conditions try not to go out. wear a mask when it's appropriate. i wear a mask a good bit of the time on capitol hill. wash your hands and don't get stuck on stupid. use her head in respect of iris.

number three, the best stimulus plan is to reopen the economy and we are doing economic permanent damage by leaving it shut down. and it just call it like you see it. the press is, they need to be more responsible like the american people and just report the facts. so much of this is, some people -- this isn't about the election, it's about the safety of their american people and keeping the american economy from going to in a hand basket. >> ed: senator kennedy says don't get stuck on stupid. that will have to be the final word, we appreciate you coming on.

>> yvette, thanks for having me. >> sandra: many states spending billions to fight the coronavirus but with some hard-hit places now past their peak, are those funds and resources going to waste? plus, it's been months since we seen traders on the floor of the new york stock exchange but that's about to change a bit today as wall street is signaling a big rally right now. we will be alive looking at the floor of the new york stock exchange as maria bartiromo joins us for the opening bell which the governor of new york will be ringing, next. >> we have now entered that. where we have to sort of learn to deal with what we have and protect the most vulnerable and continue to work on developing a vaccine so we can solve this problem permanently. it's the quickest and easiest refi they've ever offered. call newday now.

>> sandra: okay. we are about one minute away from the opening bell on wall street. governor andrew cuomo from new york state will be breaking the opening bell this morning with traders back on the floor today. we are going to have a live look at the trading floor as the opening bell rings on wall street. certainly a sign that things are beginning to open up in this country after a two-month shutdown for the new york stock exchange. no public transportation should be used by any of those members. someone who knows that trading floor very well. we now see the new york governor andrew cuomo about to ring the opening bell? >> as the governor brings that

gavel down people are cheering on the floor because people are looking at the new york stock exchange opening is more than just the new york stock exchange. there is a bell and we have a rally, as soon as that bell finishes. the governor basically saying to the world, yes. new york will come back in the new york stock exchange is a is a symbol of independence and capitalism. i think it's more than just the people, the thousands at the stock exchange that were during the song but look at this as a symbol that we will come back strong, even if it's a very different situation depending on what you will you look look at. all of the expectations were for restaurants and hotels are not really see much of a big boom but in fact what we are seeing come of their early numbers of the states open some of the services and businesses, is seeing more reservations and higher bookings than he would have expected in the airline so

it's certainly a positive response here with a 600-point rally right out of the gate. >> sandra: it's fascinating as we see some of those predictions out there from economists that are normal on the left and of the right. we have this prediction from jason furman, a former obama economist who is predicting a very sharp return to the robust economy that we had before this pandemic settled in. "the wall street journal" writing this in a piece. the headline, the blue state lockdown blues. in it, maria come the wall street editorial journal board of rights, eventually there will likely be business foreclosures, evictions and bankruptcies which will reduce property values and intern government tax revenue. california, new york, illinois, and in new jersey.

those blue states make up 30% of the national economy so their business carnage will affect farmers, meat processors, trackers, manufacturers and suppliers nationwide. so it's really talking about how the slow opening blue states can hurt the national recovery. maria? >> and it shows you how politics is working its way through even this. even this, the editorial board notes that in florida got 4% of construction workers losing their job. compare that to new york, 41% of construction workers losing their job because of the length of the shutdown. florida versus new york. so yes, when you see some of these lockdowns and the blue states where the government democratic governors do not want to reopen so quickly, they are still afraid of a spiking coronavirus cases. you will see a longer more drawn out shutdown and longer more drawn-out impact.

that's an impact to the overall economy which means all 50 states. we will see how it plays out but certainly you are seeing a lot for your if you will and a push to get back to work sooner in some of the red states like a florida run by ron desantis. you hate to see politics get in the way here but it is once again here. having said that all 50 states are open in some form or another and we are seeing a better-than-expected opening and response from people and that's why you have the rally underway. we are talking about the bailing out of some of the states. some were struggling before any of this but where should the feds have been as far as funding? here's the senator. >> there was a baseline of ongoing operations, you need police officers and sanitation workers and you need to basic services of government, that's been hurt by the downturn. we don't want any of these

cities laying off police officers. you separate that from a city or state that made bad decisions over the last ten or 15 years and they have a huge debt coming to the crisis, a pre-existing problem and that is not something the federal government should be bailing out. >> sandra: that's part of the big debate. >> especially in some states because taxes have gone up and they have much more of a bigger government role in certain democratic states and it will take them longer. look at new york. even before coronavirus hit by people fleeing the state because of high taxes, because of homelessness and inmates being let out on the street and that was even before the coronavirus. now you have people saying i don't want to go back to the density of cities and that's why they are calling for federal health. mayor de blasio has said before, he asked the president for seven and a half billion dollars and says new york city needs to be made whole right

away or they will not get out of this. i would expect to see some of those social services back. we are going to have the money for it. >> sandra: 5 minutes ago a 569-point game. maria bartiromo, thank you. nice to see you. >> ed: in the meantime, the dire forecasts of millions of deaths. that prompted states to spend billions on medical devices, hospital beds and hotel rooms. much of it was never needed. >> most states were supposed to prepare for the pandemic but most if not. california paid a half a billion dollars a month to rent the the sacramento arena for 400 hospital beds and total patients treated there, seven. this hospital closed after just 34 days.

92% empty. modeling of the time suggested something else. >> the expectation that the coronavirus would spread and peak needs would exceed our capacity to deliver within our 416 hospitals. >> it didn't. and new york contractors got 421 million for hospitals that never opened and have only saw a handful of patients. and the seattle field hospital closed after three days treating zero patients. oklahoma is still paying $700,000 per day to keep open 240 hospital beds just in case. >> that's a good insurance policy to have and we would hope the feds would reimburse us. in retrospect, it may be was overkill.

the comfort left to new york after three weeks 90% empty. california almost half the hotel rooms leased to protect the homeless remained vacant while shelter beds covid patients are 90% empty. the state also paid it 10-100 times more on ppe end ventilators and they would have not having stockpiled these items before the crisis. the point is, officials say not needing this is a good thing but models say that they had to prepare for the worst and as for ppe, paying $3,000 for a mask is either poor planning or the nature of a global pandemic that nobody saw coming. >> ed: absolutely, william la jeunesse. >> sandra: massive holiday crowds over the weekend forcing health officials to sound the alarm about a potential second wave of the coronavirus. and more positive news on the vaccine front as another drug

company now begins clinical trials on humans. dr. marc siegel will join us live next, on that >> so we are in parallel making those making vaccines and impac anticipationo makbeable to start deploying it toward the end of this year. some companies still have hr stuck between employees and their data.

>> sandra: spacex planning that first launch of astronauts from florida in nine years but clouds and rain are forecast for cape canaveral tomorrow, and president trump is expected to attend if it does indeed happen tomorrow. the backup date of the launch is the saturday and we will be watching. >> ed: overcrowding at pool parties and beach is sparking some controversy in missouri. one missouri mary says people not taking precautions will have

to police themselves. >> this is not the kind of image that i think we want to be projecting at least from a pandemic guideline enforcement standpoint. when i say again enforcement, not is a two edge sword. it is the responsibility i believe of our guests who are down here and come down here. >> ed: it was spring dr. mike siegel, professor of medicine at nyu langone. good morning. >> good morning ed. >> with that mare saying something you have said before is that we essentially have to treat adults like adults, but when you see some of these pictures when adults are not behaving well essentially and not social distancing, how concerned are you about places like the ozarks and others where we have seen this play out? >> i am very disturbed about

this, those pictures over the weekend, lake of the ozark is about driving distance from st. louis and kansas city and then you have florida, tampa had a parking lot to be closed because there was so many people milling around the east coast of florida. all three of the states i mentioned have flattened the curve but if you see this kind of cavorting going on going on, there's a symptomatic spread of covid-19 and we don't know exactly how it spreads but close contact will definitely spread it. dr. deborah birx at task force said if you are going to be close together or at least wear a mask. i would with all due in respect tend to disagree with that slightly because i don't think the masked as nearly as much a social distancing does. it several feet that the cough or sneeze can travel and we will end up having trouble if we reopen. missouri is saying some of the officials are saying it, maybe these people should go into

quarantine after this kind of behavior and i'm not against that. we have to do something. >> ed: and just a summer is starting, the unofficial start of summer courses memorial day weekend, we will have to listen to good advice from you know doubt about it. i want to get something else that's more optimistic which is we are -- they have a trial nova vax, and that's part of the reason why the die was popping this morning. phase one begins in australia with 130 participants between the ages of 18-39 and the trial will test tube dosages both with and without neck vaccine. if it's successful phase two would include u.s. and other countries. walk us through where you see some good things here and where you have some concerns. >> i'm actually very excited about this. this is the tenth candidate which will emplo into clinical .

and this is interes called thisn goal. this particular vaccine is using insects yet to growth of proteins that are like the virus to provoke your immune system. we talked about modernity and the pfizer vaccines talking about genetic terminology to start yourselves with those proteins that cause the immune response. the one out of oxford university use a little older technology and the newer ones they actually provoke more of a robust response. one thing is for sure, with all of these different vaccine candidates proceeding so rapidly in the clinical trials, i'm optimistic with the manufacturing being set up to keep pace with this, to keep pace with the science, that we may end up with the vaccine by the end of this year or early next year. it's really looking good right now. never been done this way. >> dr. siegel, we appreciate your advice tha as always.

>> sandra: the former cbs news president calling out the media and more news operations are

doing stories with a liberal bias. return to balance would be commercially unviable and the best solution might be a honest embrace of the virus. good morning to you. what did you think of this piece? >> is a very powerful piece, it comes from a guy who is a insider. and here he is saying that cnn and msnbc and he puts the context of a three decade swing to the left and i don't think anyone can deny that but it's been on steroids since donald trump moved into the white house. not off the charts i would say during this pandemic. >> sandra: and it to your point, howie, this is something

that you've been talking about hosting or show around quite frequently, and having confidence in our media and how things have changed so quickly in recent years. >> i wrote a book on it as well. my question is, how can a major chunk of the country, i say it's 40% or whatever that strongly supports president trump. how can they have any confidence at all any media establishment that seem so blatantly biased to one side of? there's another side to this, which is the media's watchdog role in president trump's a very personal attacks on journalists and journalism. the bottom line is this has become a business model for many of these media outlets because they are mostly appealing to people who agree with them and people who might say, the fox news opinion side to well. you hear from the column and the journal, pulling back from anti-trump activism could prove commercially harmful. so another words it brings the

cash register. >> sandra: very interesting. here's another excerpt from the piece, the media seems uninterested in these issues but one day softening of editorial information bring new readers or viewers? probably not. the growth of new customers would be more than offset by that deflection of members of the current audience. the news media seems very comfortable wit with its producd the ability to sell it. what does that tell us or what do you take away from that, as far as any potential change? >> i think that might be a cease-fire in this culture war. a lot of this is being driven by the prophet boat and these are businesses that have to earn money to stay in business but at the same time journalists are supposed to have a higher calling, being fair, things you don't hear much about anymore. they had married and they

celebrate it. it's interesting and it, i see a lot of soul-searching, and some people that lead the business and they say this is not the question i grew up in. >> sandra: with a 30 or so seconds that we have left, i know what stuck out to you with a question he poses in this piece ultimately, what will journalists do if trump wins reelection? final thoughts? >> it means they will have to account somehow for the fact that this person's as they said is an out-of-control rogue, completely unqualified leader who was reelected by the majority of the country. there will be very little incentive on either the president's part or the part of the journalists to come up let's

say, tone it down. i'm all for aggressive coverage, but i don't think anyone could look at what we have said right now and saves entirely fair to this person. >> sandra: interesting analysis. >> ed: a fox news alert, armed and dangerous. a multistate manhunt at this hour for a college student wanted into murderers. what police are looking for now it's his family pleads for that young man to surrender. plus warm weather brings out huge crowds. the latest warning about a potential second wave as more states reopen, coming up. entresto is a heart failure medicine prescribed by most cardiologists. it was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. heart failure can change the structure of your heart so it may not work as well. entresto helps improve your heart's ability

he got protection again as a candidate and that's the first time he has appeared since making a comment that he admitted came across as cavalier, and like a wise guy, that comment of course being african-american voters can't decide between him and trump "ain't black." the last thing that any freethinking civilly engaged black person needs in 2020 is a 77-year-old white man from delaware explaining blackness to us. but biden officials continue to argue over the long weekend of that black democrats have been with him all cycle. >> black americans made it very clear on who they wanted. >> based on the video that we saw yesterday, joe biden will now attempt to do something that has never been attempted in the history of modern politics and

of that is, when an election without shaking anyone's hand. at least not until there is a vaccine. >> sandra: peter doocy without this morning. thank you. >> let's bring in fox news contributor mo elleithee and matt schlapp, former white house clinical director and now chair of the american conservative. good morning. that interview last week, is that an example of why maybe you and matt want out of the basement more than mo does? >> this is right and this is true in every objective sentence which is a quarantining of the campaign actually benefited joe biden. he opens his mouth, and these things come out, like insulting every independent thinking person of color i might want to make up their own decision about who should be the next

president of the united states and not being shamed by joe biden if you are black and like so many other people, you're a traitor to your race. this kind of uncle tom thinking that we put away the kids ago. we get all kinds of stories, and we have yet to talk about it. >> ed: in fairness to joe biden, he very quickly apologize to what was said. do you think that put it to bed? >> i think it certainly shows the character of the candidate who missteps, then apologizes. i reminded everyone that it wasn't that long ago that the president, not the candidate but the actual president of the united states said that any jewish person that votes for democrat exhibits a lack of knowledge or loyalty. and, his supporters stood by him.

despite the rightful outrage over that. he apologize for it, but just that and they suggest in terms of israel, what do you see is the difference? >> because on the policy question when it comes to jewish american voters, the democratic party has very deliberately stepped away from their support of the state of israel and with the ironic nuclear deal which basically would have given iran nuclear weapons, these were orphans of policy statements. when it comes to african-americans, this idea of the republican party is a tired old cliche. when it comes to the forgotten men and women who were victims of illegal immigration and the crime and the society's,

donald trump has been a true leader which is why -- it's not my opinion, but these polls show that african-americans are giving donald trump more support than any modern presidential candidate from my party. >> i have to say that. if you want to debate the policy, let's debate the policy. if you want to debate which party is better for the jewish american community, then let's do that. but the fact that we are sitting here questioning identity is a real problem. joe biden shouldn't have done it, he apologizes. donald trump doesn't regularly and doubles down on that says a lot about these two candidates. >> i actually don't think joe biden did apologize. he didn't say sorry, but okay. >> ed: let's move on to the economy which is a big issue for voters as well. here's kevin hassett, one of the

key advisors. >> congressional budget outlook which is about what we should expect, it got the worst ever quarter or the -- but then the best in the third quarter. so what's going to happen it in all likelihood as you will see the second quarter drop a lot and the third quarter skyrocket. >> so how does your team basically prepare for that. we've heard this report about jason furman, a former obama advisor and say he's concerned that there will be a strong bounce back in the summer and that will really help the president. >> i'm really worried like i think most americans are about our economic situation. this is one of the topics that all of us should agree on which is there's a lot of misery and pain, lots of small businesses that are on the cusp of going broke. do i think the economy will come back strongly when states like virginia actually allow the economy to open up?

absolutely. i think it will come back with vigor but there is still grave insecurity out there. the real question is, not just the economic situation but, who is the right guy to lead us back and who is the right guy to change how we approach the downsides of globalism. it's a central part of the campaign. >> they didn't focus on the cnbc interview on friday were joe biden said, and he wants to raise your taxes, how will this play out? >> first of all i want to say i 100% agree with matt, i don't know a single person who isn't equally as worried. they should not be a partisan issue.

that's a lot of economic proposals about how to dig ourselves out of this pole. and i think when it comes to the politics of this, this ought to be an issue that democrats don't show anxiety over but they lean into. and they actually, and the president has to deal with an economic crisis. now he's facing his real thing. now it detects cuts have to be part of that? we have to wait and see. if it it's targeted toward the wealthiest americans, some

people may be willing to deal with that. but there is going to have to be a blend of issues. >> nobody misses the economy. no magic wand could ever pull those back. i think most americans, even if they are not very partisan. he regretted that he made a couple are comments so if you call it an apology or not, he regrets it. we appreciate you being here. >> the world health organization's warning about a second peak of covid-19 among a surging number of deaths and

infection across latin america. gillian turner is live from washington. >> just before midnight tonight, the so-called ban on travel from brazil into the united states officially takes effect. that policy is aimed squarely at limiting the spread of coronavirus into the u.s. from the nation, and brazil has gotten are reported nearly 75,000 cases today while the united states has 1.662 million. president trump says that has prevented it from entering the u.s. >> president trump: i don't want people coming in here and affecting our people. >> brazilian officials widely slammed to the president his decision.

>> they have complicity with those deaths. >> that's not the only country in latin america and they tell fox news that much of the region is now getting pummeled by the virus after enjoying relative stability for months. nicaragua officials continue to downplay the virus told what the official case count hovering at just 25, something international monitors say is virtually impossible. new reports in the country about so-called express variable have nicaraguan citizens ringing alarm bells about thousands of unreported cases. meanwhile in el salvador the president has cracked down on citizens and unreported cases amid an unconstitutional emergency order. of the 33 countries in latin america, peru, chile and

mexico now trail brazil with tens of thousands of their own cases each. they go full steam ahead trying to reopen the country including international borders. sandra? >> gillian turner on that story in washington. jillian, thank you. >> ed: in the meantime, a multistate manhunt underway at this hour after two murders and kidnapping in connecticut. now police are searching for uconn student they say is on the run after that deadly crime spree. his family making a heartfelt plea as federal agents join the search. >> the poor soul just started screaming and screaming and screaming and not i'm thinking, oh, my god, what's happening, what's going on? >> it's gary, 90 or 100 feet in your backyard and it somebody getting killed.

it shortens the refi process so veteran families can save money by refinancing. there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs and you can do it all right from home.

>> ed: at least ten people were shot dead and 38 others who did in chicago's bloodiest memorial day weekend in five years. this despite stay-at-home orders still being in place, police stepping up patrols in hot spo

hot spots. >> peter if you are listening, you are loved. you have your parents and your sisters and your families support. peter, from your parents, we love you. please turn yourself in. >> sandra: the family attorney for a suspect in a multistate manhunt, the university of connecticut student accused of committing two murders and kidnapping over the weekend before going on the run. ted williams joins us now and he is a former d.c. detective and fox news contributor. good morning to you. this is obviously an ongoing situation and the feds are now involved in a search for this man. and making it difficult, and

officers in pennsylvania saying how difficult the search is now with everyone wearing masks. listen to this. >> people start wearing masks, it's much different for us. it's harder to identify people that are wearing masks. it's possible that facial recognition will not route lock on. >> so what do we know right now? >> sandra this is a very fluid situation, without a doubt and a very dangerous situation. peter manfredonia was last seen along the railroad track there in pennsylvania wearing a t-shirt and short pants. one of the things that stand out about him is he is supposed to have a duffel bag and it is believed that the duffel bag may very well contain weapons. so it's a very fluid and dangerous situation.

>> sandra: the wellington connecticut home invasion on sunday, it is alleged that he stole pistols and long guns and the homeowners car before he fled the scene there. so you have connecticut police involved, pennsylvania police involved and obviously if feds have stepped in here. are we hearing anything about a motive? ted? >> we are not hearing that much about a motive but we are hearing from the alleged lawyer for his family, and from what they are saying, he may be suffering from some kind of a mental infirmity. but sandra what we know is that on friday of last week, two men were attacked and one of them was killed. on sunday he held another man captive and stole many guns and

a truck from him. the truck was recovered in another part of pennsylvania and in derby pennsylvania they found an acquaintance of peter manfredonia that was killed. the girlfriend of the acquaintance was alleged to have been kidnapped. they found her safe and alive in new jersey and the next thing they knew they were looking in pennsylvania and with video they were able to show that he was walking along those tracks. that female will be able to hopefully give law enforcement a wealth of knowledge about where he may be headed. >> sandra: is my understanding that she has since been set back home and it is with her family. as far as the activity on the college campus, he was not living on the uconn campus at the time of these incidents or during recent semesters, i want

to get that out there. meanwhile the family attorney is pleading for him to turn himself in and they have also said that in recent years he has struggled with mental health issues but he did seek help. >> again. with this fluid situation like it is, i'm concerned about this ending very badly. it could very well end with a person like this committing suicide or going out as we call suicide by cop. >> he is currently on the run and as you heard from that public safety official he is armed and dangerous. he could quite possibly be doing

the same. i appreciate your time this morning to head to, keep us updated and we will follow this developing story. thank you. >> ed: we will watch that. in the meantime, many businesses across the country remain closed. is the paycheck protection program enough to give small businesses afloat? and at the italics comic dallas mavericks owner mark cuban will weigh in on both topics, next.

>> ed: at the paycheck protection program designed to keep businesses afloat and protect jobs has mixed results in mark cuban says will help temporary stimulus that will give americans $1,000 every other week for two months but it comes at the big catch. here to explain, mark cuban, owner of the nba's dallas mavericks. as i understand that you are saying the catch is, you have to spend the money quickly, within a couple of weeks. how does the federal government actually police that? >> while you don't have to police it obviously but what happens is you put it on the direct express debit card and secretary mnuchin just announced they will be expanding the national debit card program. you put it on there and after ten days the government can decide to just credit it back. so if it's not used, you lose it.

but they can spend it on whatever they want. >> sandra: here's what he just said a few days ago about where we are with the ppp. watch. >> let me just remind people it's called the paycheck protection program, not the overhead protection program. you got eight reeks of payroll plus 25% protection overhead. without that was a fair amount but the real reason was to get people back to work. it's the one i've talked to people who say they can't actually use it to payroll because people aren't coming back to work, because i have more generous unemployment benefits. so how do you add that to the mix here when you say you want to hand out more money? >> you are exactly right. what happened is, the ppp program was approved the first or second. those people went on unemployment, 68% of people on unemployment are making more on

unemployment than they were in their previous jobs. we have this catch-22 situation so come july 31st that unemployment ends. so in order to create -- what i want to do is create a stimulus to enhance demand. two-thirds of the economy is demand driven so by stimulating to demand you give those companies are reason and ability to bring those employees back once the unemployment runs out. the challenge is what secretary mnuchin has said it, they've got ppp money and they can afford to bring people back because they are either closed or the demand is lower or the requirements for people they laid off are so much higher now so they are stuck in the middle and not sure what to do. the stimulus creates a demand so that gives them the ability and reason to bring them back. >> is a republican plan circulating anyone or is there summer you can meet in the

middle? rob portman and others are saying, to deal with the unemployment issue, where peop people, rob portman wants a temporary $450 billion a week go back to work bonus. you are talking about sending a thousand dollar check every week for the next two months. what if it is for a $600 to say, give up the government benefit and go back to work? >> the underlying challenge is, and whether it comes down as buy it down to unemployment that's 14.4% which the high has been in

more than 40 years. that's whether this program our debit card, and i will find that either way. >> people are nervous perhaps about the economic future and, quickly i want to get to the nba. charles barkley never short on opinions and he says on 100% sure we are going to play. i know my friends in major league baseball are going to play and, talking to bosses at turner, we will play basketball. so where are we, playing in orlando and may be the western side playing at las vegas. how confident are you? >> the key will be testing. they want to make sure, and they

are accurate enough, and i think we can get this done. if i had to guess it would be the end of june or early july. >> in the meantime, will you just be focused on getting the mavericks back and going or will you finally jump into the white house? you held it out there and you got the stimulus plans. >> are you closing the door? >> you know, always keep my options open. >> mark cuban, sugar shot, appreciate it. sandra? >> sandra: many schools around the country but online tools are

not as effective as in person classes. we all want to know more about this. a good morning. >> lots of parents sitting on pins and needles. that may be subject t change, bs angered a lot of parents as distance learning has in many places. take for example senior max walsh schlagel. he is at from fairfax county. it distance learning by almost all accounts is a failure.

>> i chose to kind of stay away from the whole distance learning thing. i know personally that i am not a very good learner when it comes to learning through a computer screen. >> distance learning not worked well elsewhere. >> in some ways it's no surprise that families are at home, >> nobody is getting it right from the start. something is better than nothing, so if we can keep kids learning during this difficult

time that's a great thing right now badly designed programs and lack of face-to-face contact with teachers and socio-economic hardship. some students lacking high-speed internet and parental support. the american federation of children has commissioned a poll which shows that 40% of american parents are considering home learning or some sort of home learning because of their frustration. adding to that, the two biggest teachers unions have said they will go on strike if proper precautions are not in place. they are talking about temperature checks, proper clothing and contact tracing. so much uncertainty right now, sandra. back to you. >> sandra: thank you. we will be following it all the way into the fall. >> ed: meanwhile as states relax pandemic restrictions,

some become a circling for a full reopening sooner rather than later. our blue state economy is holding back the rest of the country. moneyman charles payne joins us now on lat. plus a family lawyer of a man fatally shot in georgia now see the case is not closed after three arrests were made. how that justice department is getting involved, next. refinance with no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. one call can save you $2000 every year. call my team at newday usa right now. &gwdcd0zlójraw your graduation may look different... but it does not change how far you've come...

>> ed: at new developments this morning and the ahmaud arbery case, that family thing that justice department is investigating the deadly shooting is a hate crime and looking at potential misconduct by two georgia state officials. he was shot and killed in a brunswick neighborhood back in february. two suspects, the mother and son were arrested this month and charged with his murder after video surfaced of the confrontation. a third man who recorded the video has also been charged with felony murder. the men say they thought he was a burglary suspect but his fame is as was just out jogging.

>> sandra: fox news alert, quick check on wall street this morning. look at that rally. the dow up 600 points, crossing that 25,000 mark at the start of trading. investors back at the new york stock exchange, and we saw that this morning when the new york governor andrew cuomo was there at the opening bell. charles, good morning to you. you have been talking about the stock market rebound since mid-march. and here we are, the dow passing through, and is this sustainab sustainable? >> i think it is. and i think it's more than just a vaccine news to be quite frank with you. the images that we saw over the

weekend, if you want proof, forget about the polls, forget about the survey and politicia politicians, we saw it. we saw it across the country, was sought on main street and we saw it on beaches, we saw it everywhere. people want to get out and they want to engage in this economy and i think the market is feeding on that. we still don't have a vaccine. we still are trying to social distance and do the right things but we also know, will people go back out? believe me, they were eager and champing at the bit. their prime minister said we did it all our way, we didn't have lockdowns. the bottom line goes, i think the idea that they will find a way to reengage in our economy

as we wait for the vaccine. >> sandra: it's fascinating. as we all know it not much business is done physically anymore, but as a symbol of hope, seeing the floor reopen this morning as symbolic as the new york stock exchange. this is as we are seeing restrictions lifted and as you look at the map, michigan, and new york and veterinarian practices, in ohio, gyms and fitness centers. there's this big reopening happening right now and that is fueling at least optimism. he saw consumer confidence numbers, and charles, new home sales are surprising to the upside so there is some good economic news to report on.

>> a new home sales came in at a rate of 2,026,000. and this was in april. this was during the biggest shutdown month of the year. it went through the roof. here's a problem though. these places that refused to open up. so opentable which does reservations, if you look at mad almost every single major city was down 100% year-over-year but now chicago fell down 100%, new york city is down 100% but now down over 73%, miami down over only 60%. let the folks go out and let them be responsible, they can do it. by the way. i'm going to tell you something. i think people need to start looking closer. for instance in new york city, i told you guys about how my old neighborhood in the bronx is different from greenwich

village. these cities like los angeles and san francisco, they have defective troubled bands. that's the only way that you could explain why businesses and certain businesses aren't open. it's time to be smart about this and everyone knows everyone is hunkered down and everyone did what they were supposed to do but we want to survive this and survive it healthwise and economically. >> sandra: your point about some of those slow states that have reopened, talking about their slow walk. that will actually hamper the broader economic recovery. the democrats are begging congress for budget relief but they are planning to raise taxes to finance worker tensions and they won't reform the same states that have allowed us. a federal rescue has hurt themselves on most with long strict lockdowns and tax-and-spend policies.

it was fascinating go to another point that we were talking about this morning, jason furman, former economic advisor in the obama years talking about what he sees will eventually be a sharp economic recovery. so there are so many ways to look at this. final thoughts from you this morning charles? >> california by far got the most ppp loans and small businesses are out there. it's time for the use to drive the policies and let americans go back out there. we are smart and responsible and we will get it done. >> sandra: and that is key, we want everyone to reopen as safely as possible charles, great to have you here this morning. we are looking at the dowel, 673

points. >> ed: he is excited. an iranian tanker and the heartwarming links a boy scout goes as he honors america's fallen heroes. when we come back.

>> ed: a 13-year-old boy scout has been playing to the on his bugle outside of a veterans home in honor of those who have died from covid-19. alex saldana began playing a month ago after participating in

a treeplanting ceremony at a veterans home where at least 79 veterans have reportedly died from coal covid-19. carly, great to see you. it's great he was talking about being in arlington and would pause for memorial day, but he and others that were saying we should be doing this every day honoring our veterans. here is the boy scout doing just that. >> he certainly living up to what general keane's and said yesterday. this is certainly one of them. a 13-year-old boy scout who has devoted a portion of his day every day to providing taps outside of a veterans home in new jersey which has become the site of one of the biggest outbreaks of the coronavirus in the country. this young man is certainly wise beyond his years. he says nowadays many kids may not think of that and they need to realize what these men have

done for us and how they gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. so the fact that the coronavirus has hit nursing home so hard it is devastating, call it failing on the part of the federal government. but this boy is making sure that the residents of the veterans home are receiving at least a small sliver of the dignity that is deserved. >> something caught our eye on social media as well. only family members are allowed in and i would be honored to pay respect. >> she is the sister of ben domenech who appears on our show from time to time. the cemetery is only open for

certain family members yesterday because the coronavirus and then she got to thinking about the fallen service members who have friends or fellow service members who couldn't visit their graves, and so, she did such a good job of tweeting everybody back, on twitter and social media. she set about 60, and i said you have done enough, that's an amazing thing that you accomplished and she's hoping to do something a little more organized next year. but she seems like she has a huge heart and it was a great idea and well executed by her. >> ed: it's a great idea because even without covid-19, some of the family members are far away and they can't travel to go to the cemetery. it's a wonderful deed. thanks for bringing us the sto

story. >> sandra: fox news alert, talked this morning of a new cold war with china in the wake of mounting trade disputes of the pandemic. white house economic advisor larry kudlow will be here live to talk about just that. but first, senator john kennedy on what he thinks the u.s. should do about china. >> the world leaders we have to stop being a bunch of. they need to grow some oranges. and from start to finish, you can do it all without ever leaving the house. with our va streamline refi, there's no income verification. no appraisal. and no out of pocket costs. one call can save you $2000 a year.

convention could work. those are extraneous restrictions and sharing of course with the good news of america reopening and overcoming what was a devastating pandemic. >> sandra: john roberts is live from the north on with mo more. >> ed: in some parts of the country would never know there was pandemic that continues to raise. a lot of people crowding in there, not observing social distancing and that was sort of the exception to the rule about people and the rest of the country. now there were some pretty crowded areas for memorial day yesterday. the president eager to see responsible reopening's tweeting this morning "stock market up big, dow crosses 25,000, states should open up as soon as possible.

the transition to greatness has started ahead of schedule, there will be ups and downs but next year will be one of the best ever. there were more reopening's, new york state veterinary practices we open today and in ohio the bureau of motor vehicles, gyms and noncontact or limited contact sports such as softball, baseball, tennis will be allowed, swimming pools and bowling alleys and in west virginiwest virginia statel open for in-state residents only and indoor and outdoor bar is allowed to open it 50% capacity in museums and zoos as well. the president is pressuring gary cooper to say whether he will allow people to gather at numbers for the rnc convention scheduled for august 24 through 27. the president is saying the convention may have to move somewhere else if they don't get

a nod from cooper, texts in georgia are two states being talked about. rnc chairwoman ron mcdaniel says the rnc needs assurances that they could go ahead with the planning that they've done. listen to what she said. >> we want to have it in north carolina, the president loves north carolina, it's just a governor. every state with talk to has said we want to nominate the president here, but he hasn't given us the assurances we need and we need to be able to move forward in a concrete way. we will have a discussion. >> there has been talk of the potential for a scaled-down convention, some have even suggested a virtual convention. ronna mcdaniel poured cold water on that, saying he would first have to gather people at the convention. there is a possibility of making

other changes including possible change of venue and, they would like to have an in charlotte if governor cooper could get them the go-ahead. >> sandra: we will be watching that live at the white house. >> ed: fox news contributor, good morning. >> this is to be getting out a bigger issue about a blue state and red state divide. you have a blue state governor. "the wall street journal" editorial, the blue state lockdown blues, the slow reopening in liberal states will hurt the national recovery. john roberts has pointed out this will have a huge impact on charlotte hotel rooms, restaurants and you have to be safe. you had to make sure you have a large gathering and that this doesn't lead to a second spike in cases but are some of these governors being shortsighted?

>> i think they are being a little bit slow. you look at michigan and some of these other states and it's dreadful. you look at colorado and they are doing things a little swifter and i think they are going to reap the economic benefits. the president's right, they need to be able to make the call and make the call now. if north carolina doesn't want the convention. they have hosted before big events and they can do it but if not, time to go to florida, georgia, texas and somewhere else. >> let's look at andrew cuomo who has gone back and forth on whether he is with the present organs of president on some of these issues. he made a comment yesterday that made a lot of people scratch their heads. >> people can speculate and people can guess, i think next week, i think two weeks or a month. i'm out of that business because we all failed at that business.

they were all month wrong. they were all wrong. >> ed: at the reason why i'm saying people scratch their heads, they will say that moving forward. what the white house will say, when you have governors like andrew cuomo would say all the models are on folks use those models to lock things down. >> and they are changing the goalpost, the goal was to flatten the curve supposedly but then when it's flattened and decreasing they are not listening things back up. i also think governor cuomo is in really deep with on what he did with these nursing homes and i have to tell you, i think he has to cover up all those numbers. i think he wants to distract from the policies, and i don't know that you could really trust him at this point. i think he's trying his best, but it isn't working like it is for ron desantis in florida and other places that i think

did it right. >> ed: an interesting broader question, and you have an op-ed piece with dr. nicole saphier. it caught our eye because when americans are tuned in watching our nations leaders reporting, uniformity and full transparency are crucial to instill public trust and minimize insurgency, we have experts on saying, we have to make sure we keep people safe and minimize the loss of life from covid-19. there are people in this country not being checked out for strokes or going in for cancer screenings. that's a big issue of mental health as well. >> and diabetes. you can keep going down all the major lists of things that are concerned for people's health. we took like a three month pause on that and it's costing people

their lives. what dr. safire really wanted to emphasize here is, we have to pay attention to all these underlying causes because they put you at higher risk of getting covid-19 at having a deadly effect. i was very concerned that the numbers that we will reporting are not accurate. at one point new york city added something like 3,000 people to the death rolls up just because. in colorado they were caught adding people to the covid numbers that had nothing to do with cobit. when you lose track of those numbers, the public shies away. and that is devastating. jason chaffetz, thank you for coming on. >> sandra: for numbers like

mass and hospital beds, paying as much as 100 times the going rate before the crisis with the federal government expected to pick up at least part of the tab. william la jeunesse is live in los angeles with those details. >> officials said skyrocketing and now taxpayers are of course paying the price. california paid half a million monthly to turn this arena into a 400 bed hospital and total patients treated, seven. 92% empty. at the time governor newsom thought it was a good idea. >> our phase one procurement include some 50,000 beds above and beyond what is currently available in our hospital syst system. >> states rush to build dozens

of field hospitals around the country, most closed after a week or two and many sought never a single patient. oklahoma chose to pay nearly $7,000 per day to reserve 240 hospital beds knowing the feds would pick up 75% of the tabs. >> one of the secretaries i talked to said they would rather have an empty bed and pay money for it than people dying and not being able to get care. >> at the navy ship mercy it's all one patient per day while docked in l.a. and the comfort left after three weeks 90% empty. in california half the 50,000 hotel rooms leased to protect the homeless remained vacant while shelter beds for covid patients were 90% empty. states also spent 10-100 times more on ppn ventilators than they would have if they had stockpiled the equipment. paying $3 for a mess they could've had for $0.25. now governors claim to the model so they had no choice. the fact that hospital and

shelter beds when empty is a good thing they say but hospitals believe that spending others money is easy because they believed that others would pick up most of the tab and they were right. >> sandra: william la jeunesse, thank you. >> ed: a brand-new warning about that radio host i conducted that infamous interview. donna brazile weigh in on that just ahead. plus optimism on the economic front has the stock market soaring today. more businesses opening back up across america. it is the worst of the shutdown over? white house economic advisor larry kudlow will be her life, next. >> it's time to get the economy moving again and that's why we are so concerned about the nancy pelosi bailout for a blue. thus another incentive to keep it shut down. it's time to get them

>> sandra: fox news alert on this tuesday morning, on the holiday weekend as our economy reopens along with many other countries. the markets are up big this morning on positive news over vaccines. the dow is up 675 points so it

looks like things are turning a corner, at least for now. "the wall street journal" featuring this headline this morning for economy, this shutdown may be over. hotel bookings and there are signs the economy is coming back to life. larry, good morning and welcome. it feels so good to be able to talk positively about the reopening of the country, the stock market is rising. the s&p 500 back above 3,000 since march 5th we have not been above that level. i have not asked to predict where the stock market is going because i know the answer. but has the economy hit bottom amid the pandemic? >> i think it's possible. i mean i think you are in a turning zone phase and as we've said time and again, the second quarter is going to be a

rough quarter. it's a pandemic contraction. lots of hardship on the unemployment claims and a lot of heartbreak there. but these signs, and i think the market is a rallying on signs, these signs are showing a lot more glimmers of hope and growth and assign seem to be mounting. the consumer confidence number, the number was up a bit which was good but in six months they had the six-month expectation component and that's where you see a big takeoff and consumer confidence. i think folks see that the virus first of all is flattening on its way down and they see business opening, they themselves feel like going out and spending and these are all very positive developments that will show up in the data, perhaps in july or august. the third quarter could be the fastest growing quarter in u.s. history and the whole second half is going to be very strong as we reopen the economy

and as americans come back to recovery. this is a transition to recovery, and as the president said, transition to greatness. >> ed: larry you are looking at positive hopeful signs, and you have some we have slow walking on reopening parts of the economy perhaps to hurt him politically. the wall street editorial journal, the blue state lockdown blues come the slow reopening liberal states will hurt the recovery and they say california, new york and new jersey make up 30% of the economies of their business carnage will affect farmers, meat processors, truckers, manufacturers and suppliers nationwide. what's your message to some of the states like california that are moving so slowly? >> these are state decisions and governor decisions. the president had said i would like to see the reopening. i want to see the businesses reopen and then the job numbers are going to come in much, much

better. but it's got to be done safely. it has to be done safely. i can't make that judgment, i will let the president make that judgment, and he has a bird's-eye view perhaps than i do. but i think those governors know that folks want to go back to work and folks want to restart their businesses. there are tiny signs even in some of those states of the reopening. so we will see, it's got to be done safely and you have to have the social distancing, you have to have the testing and so forth and nobody disagrees with that. i like to see it fast but it's got to be safe. you know, people -- we believe in personal freedom. a lot of people want to exercise their personal freedom and to get out there and start shopping and running their small businesses again. so we will see. the point is at the margin, we will be making very good

progress and we have these glimmers of hope, we have these green shoots. ten years ago i used to call them mustard seeds that will grow up into a major recovery. i think the same thing is happening now only on a larger scale. >> sandra: but only you as an economist to the president have been planning the unknown and the uncertainties. and she doesn't think that the u.s. stock market is too optimistic at this point, and what he fears is the vulnerability is considering our sky-high unemployment right now because of the pandemic, the uncertainty over the vaccine and a second possible wave of the coronavirus. what do you believe are those hidden vulnerabilities for our economy? >> you know, you talk to our health experts and they will say, we know so much more and we

have so much more experience now. let's also go, we are really doing lightning speed the first of all on the developer to vaccines and the developer to therapies and medicines which i think are very important. i think people would be happy or even to know that if they get the virus, there is a medicine and a therapy that they could take to deal with it right away. the scientists and the biotech companies, the president has always stressed the private sector component and that's part of the brilliance of his economic thinking. they are probably going to provide therapies very soon, and regarding vaccines, it takes a little longer but again we have deregulated so we are moving at warp speed on that as well. look. i can't douse every risk, i can't say this won't happen or that won't happen but all i'm saying is we are giving our best

shot and events are moving rapidly in the right direction. that's the absolute key points. >> ed: larry on the question of more stimulus for this economy, we have already done a lot and it, you want to see the money washed through the system instead of spending and, it's a $450 per week back to work bonus for people. what he's trying to get at as you know better than anyone, and they are getting more money on unemployment than they would if they go back to work. it is the back to work bonus the seed of something down the road that you might get behind? >> it may well be, it's something that we are looking at very carefully. senator portman has a good idea and he understands incentives and disincentives. the trouble with the $600 plus up and maybe we needed it and that emergency. to come but frankly it's a major

disincentive to go back to work and we don't want that, so we are looking at that. i think the basic point is correct. i would also add that the president is a firm supporter of the payroll tax holiday and that's an incentive, because it would increase half the income. already we have done it on the business side. that has been some combination. i frankly do not believe the $600 plus up will survive the next round of talks but i think we will have substitutes to deal with that issue. >> sandra: at the numbers before this pandemic hit, it was watching with china. can you update us this morning on where things stand? >> absolutely. the trade deal is intact and our

leaders have been in conversation with vice-premier. at the trade deal is intact for the moment or so the chinese say. so that's okay. and we will see whether they have implemented on the schedule or not. however there is a number of issues where china has done very badly. very, very badly. nontransparency has been putting it mildly, they basically concealed facts and information's about the origin of the coronavirus that has had global implications which have made it worse. they have sent them to help, and china for a long time wouldn't let us do that so we lost a tremendous ground which is very unfortunate. but they are doing right now in hong kong is taking over national security, and that's

really one country, two systems. essentially it looks like one country and one systematic could be be a totalitarian system. we don't know yet, but the national security measures we will take is a very disturbing matter. another thing, china companies don't play by the rules, they conceal information and they don't pass muster on any of the blue sky laws they must comply with normal accounting standards and they won't do that. so trade yes, but there's a lot of other issues. >> sandra: is a president willing to back out of the deal? >> i don't know, i'm not going

to speak to the president on that point, i assume you mean the trade deal. he has said recently that he is not, but he has also missed what the chinese have done regarding the virus and other matters, that the trade deal is not as important to him as he once was. the cost and lives lost, because of china's concealment and misinformation and collusion with the w.h.o., that is a major costs in human terms in economic terms. a lot of that could've been avoided. i will let him speak of course on the final policy decisions but i can tell you that is the background music right now. >> ed: as we close conversation, can you give us an idea of where the big picture -- where you think we are?

i don't want to say we are pessimistic, but the numbers coming in are not good in terms of the pandemic and the virus. in fact they are downright bad in most cases. but we are seeing some glimmer perhaps, there's a lot of heartbreak and hardship. but this morning he saved optimistic. we are where the president believes we are in dealing with this pandemic and turning the economy around. >> i think i needed more caffeine for that "washington post." that's 20% growth and i cited all of those positives. i have to acknowledge the pandemic has taken its toll and

the mitigation policies and the shutdown has taken its toll on the economy and there is a lot of hardship. and i regret that very, very much. i think in that sense we are just being real, and i noticed one of my pals from the other side of the aisle, obama supporter essentially came up with the same scenario that kevin hassett and i have been talking about >> ed: we appreciate you coming on larry. >> sandra: thank you, larry. great to see you. >> ed: in the meantime start had to come at the push to reopen houses of worship all

across america. the florida senator's here live come next. >> we have a right to worship where we want to and i believe people will do it safely.

of a black suspect. the suspect repeating only telling officers he cannot breathe. warning, this video is graphic. >> i can't breathe. i will give you where i work. >> ed: the video was shot last night and the officer is seen kneeing the man's neck pending him t to the pavement for severl minutes before the suspect loses consciousness. he later died at a hospital. police are describing what happened as a medical incident and the fbi is leading the investigation to get to the bottom of it. >> president trump: it is an essential service and we want to get our churches back open. when you see that they are arresting people and they are in parking lots, and honestly it's a disgrace. >> they want all houses of worship.

they should be to free to decide whether to go to church or wear a mask. joining us as senator rick sco senator rick scott. >> first off you have this first amendment. we have the right to express ourselves in that our religious beliefs and it doesn't really matter with the president or governor or local official says, we have a right to do this. do we have a right to do it safely? sure. and, the government doesn't need to tell us everything. so what should we be doing? that's what we are trying to do in every state. >> obviously there is some concern in hot spots where we have seen the congregants returning to our places of worship and you have seen some cases emerge or spike in certain

areas, and some of these churches that have reopened. what is their concern there and do you still think it's appropriate for them together? >> we have to do it safely. we have to wear masks, whether we like it or not, they are hot and no fun to wear and we have to social distance. if you are doing those things, there's no reason you should be able to exercise your first amendment right. as governor i had hurricanes, my job was to educate everyone about we know the rest now. we know if we wash our hands, we know if we wear a mask, we are probably not going to get this and we stay safe. >> new york city mayor bill de blasio awaiting this morning on his press conference on returning to places of worship.

>> what i've heard from faith leaders over these last days is that they want to come back but they know this was not the time. that would endanger everyone. you are going to her mask and you are going to do safely, people shouldn't be getting close to each other, they should do a very safely, and you can't. we have to get our economy reopen, we have to be able to worship and the first amendment exercises our right to practice religion. >> sandra: i know that you filed a bill last week about

protecting american vaccine research from china. what are your efforts here, senator? >> well, we know that china has decided they want to enter into a cold war with the united states. either jobs or technology, taking their basic rights away from hong kong and now we have to make sure, they are not coming here and impacting our ability to get our vaccines done. china is not someone that goes out there, and i want to make sure that before anyone comes here, before it has anything to do with the research. and they will make sure that they will not impact the ability to get this vaccine done. that will ensure that we will keep the world safe. >> sandra: overall it is building in anticipation and hope that a vaccine will

ultimately be found and ready sometime soon. senator rick scott, thanks for joining us this morning. >> ed: in the meantime joe biden and some damage control mode. will this affect his choice of a running mate? we will talk about it with donna brazile, next. as always, we're doing everything we can to help keep cosentyx accessible and affordable. if you have any questions at all, call us, email us, visit us online. we're here to help support you when you need us. take care, and be well. to learn more, call one eight four four cosentyx or visit cosentyx.com

and what joe biden said but, it's bigger than rhetoric. he's concerned that there is going to be lack of enthusiasm, and he said in an interview he's not sure what joe biden will do for black voters. your thoughts? >> as you know i wrote a column over the weekend because i wanted to lay out what joe biden has already said he will do. an end real criminal justice reform and of course health care. joe biden has not just a record of leadership but i do believe that as we look forward to the fall campaign the platform that the dnc will release the summer, there will be a lot of great items and they're not just for black voters but all voters will find appetizing. >> ed: in the context of the comments about voter depression as he calls it, black voters not

being enthusiastic for joe biden potentially, was when he was asked about the possibility of amy klobuchar as vice president. do you think the comments on the controversy puts more pressure on joe biden to pick not just a woman as he's promised but a woman of color? i see a lot of speculation about kamala harris for example. >> i know joe biden will pick someone who is terrific and outstanding and someone who will make not just a running mate but i president. it someone who you believe is qualified to be president of the united states, he has a great long list of people to choose from. you mentioned kamala harris, stacy abrams, in the global chart, they are more than just black women on that list, and hispanic women on that list, i do hope that joe biden select someone who will help him rebrand this democratic party for future challenges and enable him to win this very important race.

donald trump is going to run one of the most aggressive campaigns we've seen in american history. he's already shown over the weekend how he will go about it. he's going to attack, attack and insult and joe biden has to positive and he needs to talk directly to the american people about what he hopes to accomplish, not just how bad donald trump is. >> ed: a final thought when you extend it beyond a come as you did just a moment ago, beyond black voters. we have previously talked you and i, and that -- why is it that joe biden seems to be having trouble with some, not all but some in his base with his lack of enthusiasm? pico enthusiasm is one of those characteristics where you want people to be motivated. you want them to go out there and do things where you don't have to call them up and say, i need you to go to the polls.

i do believe joe biden will close his enthusiasm gap and that's because he has a record of leadership. this weekend the president had an opportunity, it was a good weekend because i went out and gardened. the president went out on twitter come attacked stacy a room, and i do believe that joe biden will be able to reach not just bernie sanders supporters but people out there who desired change. you and i talk always about the left and the right, republicans and democrats but, 100 million americans didn't vote in 2016 and joe biden has to reach some of those americans as well. it's been one no doubt about it, donna brazile, we appreciate your thoughts as always. >> sandra: nearly two decades behind bars, that is what u.s. marine veteran paul weyland is facing at his espionage trial which is wrapping up in russia.

>> the russian lawyers in moscow were shocked by it according to their statements to russian media. and we will look into more of what happened on june 15th, and it's a milestone for us that we've been waiting for, for a long time. we've been looking to the u.s. government to bring him home. that's what we waited for patiently, and that's regardless of the sentences. >> sandra: your brother is a security director for the american auto parts supplier borg warner, and what were you specifically told about his arrest and why he was put behind bars? >> we haven't been told

specifically about the arrest. those are either from letters from paul where he is able to only makes slight reference to it and information that's been in the russian bear that has been linked by people associated with either the prosecution, the defense or the court itself. we don't have any indication about what paul was charged wi with. >> u.s. officials had clearly paid for weyland's released. we are trying to get your brother home. and it's been less supportive in washington, that's state pompeo and what we would do about

paul's continued detention. we are hoping that we are wondering why. >> that is not fair and also not impartial. >> my dad is 82, and functionally, my parents would never see paul again if the sentence actually goes forward, so we are pending on our hopes on the u.s. government taking action in helping an american citizen in peril.
