people have reached out about donating money to cover medical expenses. they are telling people to donate instead to mission 22 and the wounded warriors project. both are foundations for veterans and wounded soldiers because that is what superheroes do. >> kristin: thank you. dana will be back on monday and here is bill. >> bill: thank you. is friday afternoon. we made it. i'm bill hemmer. welcome to our hour. president trump sitting down for his first sunday show interview when more than a year with our own chris wallace and they covered a lot of ground as you can imagine. fox news sunday anchor chris wallace joins me now as we get our very first look at the interview and, sir, what did you talk about? >> we talked about everything. first of all, it was a full hour that we were talking. we talked about covid and the explosion of cases in this country, questions of masks, questions of testing, also

talked about politics, the polls, a new fox news poll that we discussed with the president which shows him trailing, but he seems dead certain that he is going to be joe biden in november, we also talked about that tell-all book by his niece, mary trump, but focuses on the explosion of violence in american cities, the shooting was up, the murders up. here's a clip. >> you've seen deaths up in new york, deaths up in chicago, shootings, how do you explain and what are you going to do about it? >> i explain it very simply by saying they are democrat run cities, liberally run, stupidly run. >> liberal democrats have been running cities in this country for decades. >> poorly. >> why is it so bad right now? >> they run them poorly, it was always bad, but now it's gotten totally out of control and it's because they wanted to fund the and biden wants to defund the

police. >> he does not. >> he signed a charter with bernie sanders. >> and it says nothing about defunding the police. >> lets go, will you get me the charter, please? >> so that led to a very interesting exchange where he had a staff go out and get the highlights from that 100 page compact that the biden team and the trump team or rather the biden team in the sanders team has signed, and he went through it and he found a lot of things that he objected to that biden has agreed to, but couldn't find any indication because there isn't any that joe biden has sought to defund and abolish the police. but let me say, he take some shots at joe biden that i've never heard before and if it looks like it was hot in that patio right outside the oval office there, it was about 100 degrees and he kept saying who's idea was this? of course, it was the president's idea. as he said, he wanted to see me

sweat. >> bill: you ticked off a number of things there. when it comes to the campaign, 108 days out now. did he get into his strategy at all for how he campaigns in a covid world? >> yes. he basically indicates that they are not going to be nearly as many rallies as last time, we saw what happened in tulsa, he says people just aren't comfortable so i think you'll see a lot more virtual campaigning, video, telephone calls where he can reach thousands of people that way, but the big trump rallies and arenas, stacked up to the eaves, i don't think you're going to see as much of that this time and he seems a little concerned about that because i think first of all, he thinks it is a great source for him to get his message across, energizes his base and frankly energizes him. >> bill: looking forward to seeing the spirit he gave you an hour. how did you sense his mood tod

today? >> in the course of an hour, part of this i think is the questions i was asking. generally speaking, friendly and combative but in a nice way. occasionally, take them off but occasionally, i take you off. >> bill: not so often. looking forward to seeing it on "fox news sunday," one hour with the president and much more to come. thank you for your preview today. check out your local listings. we will have an airing of chris's show on sunday at 2:00 and again at 7:00 here on fox news channel. thank you, chris. great review. >> today, we are going to outline a citywide violence prevention plan. will be wherever it is needed but particularly focused on some very particular sites in the city where we are seeing an uptick in violence. >> bill: mayor bill de blasio and nypd commissioner announcing a plan to fight rising gun violence that they say involves sending

more officers to shooting hot spots that comes as investigators question a person of interest in the shooting death of a 1-year-old this past weekend in brooklyn. a lower angle reports live outside of the police precinct now in midtown manhattan. >> many can agree there has really been a sense of lawlessness on the streets of new york these past few weeks and definitely something that city leaders are trying to get back under control. a grim tally from police so far this week, the city has seen 51 shootings with 70 people shot and three left dead including the 1-year-old boy who was shot in his stroller in brooklyn. the suspect in that case has now been arrested. this as suspects and that may lay on the brooklyn bridge on wednesday have also been apprehended. one notable portion of the violence occurring when the nypd's highest ranking officer, chief of department terrence monahan was injured by a suspect identified as 25-year-old chyron campbell. he was charged with three counts

of assault, prosecutors had asked for a $75,000 bond instead a judge denied that request and ordered a supervised release. new york city police commissioner dermot shea had this. >> it's very frustrating. the world at times seems it is upside down. we have to do better than that. >> today, new york city mayor bill de blasio along with commissioner shea had a and gun violence six-point plan which enhances shooting -- and gun buyback event spirit also stressed the importance of getting the court system back up and running at full capacity after it was partially shut down due to coronavirus saying it is playing a big factor in getting guns off the street. >> we are asking our police officers to go out there and do their normal work but without the other pieces of the equation working. so i respect our prosecutors deeply, but i am pleading with all of them to focus on gun

prosecution. >> both agreeing that there has got to be consequences for those who feel they are above the law. >> bill: laura ingle in the streets of new york today, thank you. u.s. reporting more than 77,000 new coronavirus cases in one day, that is a daily record. the u.s. has shattered its record 11 times so far this month as the debate continues over opening schools and face coverings. professor of medicine, new york medical college and chairman of medicine at st. joseph university hospital. nice to see you again. how do you explain the cases? >> what we are seeing is florida for example out of control. we predicted this because people partying over the july 4th weekend and earlier were not wearing masks and there was very little social distancing, and i believe that that is the reason for this friday. i think most of the experts

agree if you are not wearing masks and a know a lot of people feel it's an impingement on their freedom, this is what's going to happen. but the good news is the majority of the infected people are younger grade younger people although they may escape death with few exceptions, they still have what we call morbidity going forward. you don't have to go into the hospital if you have covid-19 and thus they are very, very sick but there are things that you will gather such as respiratory problems, overall weakness, the need for oxygen for several months, blood clots, strokes. talking young people below the age of 30 and the vast majority of these rising cases are in young people. of course, the death rate is going up but not like what we saw in other parts of the country. >> bill: vaccines, here is alex azar, health and human services on that front. >> we believe it is very credible to be thinking of the

high tens of millions of doses of approved vaccine for use later this year with hundreds of millions of vaccines early next year. >> bill: what you think of that time frame? >> i think that's very helpful. it's very exciting. i'm worried about the flu season which is coming, people will have to get their vaccines for the flu, but then we are going to have on top of that the covid-19 threat and i hope we don't have a second wave, but astrazeneca and the united kingdom which is basically the oxford trials are far along, they got a head start with cold coronavirus and they were testing them in chimpanze chimpanzees, and they are virus involves production of antibodies and regulatory t cells, these are cells in the immune system that help combat viruses in the data so far is still impressive and saying we could have the virus by the end

of september. >> bill: talking to the ohio governor later in talking about schools, national panel argues for school reopening citing academic consequences. a very interesting piece, can't afford not to go to school. will that be the case in new jersey and elsewhere? >> it will be. i am recommending children go back to school. of course, teachers should consider themselves at risk, and that's the big issue. i've heard from countless numbers of teachers and of course the older the teacher is, the more at risk but teachers should wear masks, should keep social distancing from the children. the good news is that children neither transmit nor acquire the virus like adults and when a child has, with few exceptions, they do not suffer the same fate as a middle-aged individual or somebody over the age of 70. so that's good news, but it still is very concerning. >> bill: you have to give it a shot, right? you have to try.

>> it is so important, that social interaction that the kids are missing is really important, there is nothing like live teacher in front of you and homework that you have to do with religious nature and the avoidance of group activities staggering the class hours. all of those things have been suggested to get the kids back in, not to mention the fact that people can go back to work when their kids are in school. >> bill: all good and positive stuff. have a great weekend, nice to see you again. thank you. has not issued a statewide mandate, governor mike devine will join to talk about that a bit later and also, there is this. >> we are working our way through under the president's guidance how to think about pushing back against the chinese communist party, you see in trade and other economic activities.

>> bill: was a very intriguing development, ramping up the pressure on china this week, asia analyst gordon chang is standing by on that. a bit later, steve moore and austan goolsbee weigh in on a busy week as trump and biden start to make their case on the economy. guys! guys! safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers save 40%. it is, that's safe drivers save 40%. - he's right there. - it's him! safe drivers do save 40%. click or call for a quote today. safe drivers do save 40%. you're having one more bite! no! one more bite! ♪ kraft. for the win win. bshouldn't prevent you from pushing your limits. because every baby deserves the very best start in life. because a changing environment should mean

new policies simply leaves it off the list of flags that can be displayed on military property. exhibits and gravesites among the exceptions. president trump is opposed to banning the flag entirely arguing it is a freedom of speech issue. in >> that of just look the other way and allow china to trample on us, president trump said no more. going to have fair, reciprocal trade relationships and going to demand that the chinese communist party treat americans the same way that we treat people who go there. this is a simple understanding. >> bill: secretary of state mike pompeo talking about holding trying on accountable, ramping up the pressure on beijing this week alone, asia analyst and author, welcome back to our program and nice to see you. trump, pompeo, bar all hitting china paired how do you see their strategy? >> this is a whole government approach. this is discipline, this is well

thought out. a lot of people last year would say president trump would just say something and nothing would happen. you can't say that about 2020 because the u.s. government, trump administration has gone all in on china and that's terrific. >> bill: so the secretary also yesterday said the world would make china pay. they were a number of different countries all over the world. do you see that happening and if so, how? >> i see that happening. india just a week ago banned 59 chinese apps including tick-tock, it is going to band while way and the u.k. this week just banned it. i'm sure canada will do the same. germany will be the big issue but i see the pressure building against china. so clearly, there has been a real change in the last two weeks. >> bill: are you aware of the doctor out of hong kong, a scientist? you are shaking your head in agreement. she was on a program earlier in the week and is claiming that she is not going back to

hong kong, she fears for her life, says she could be in considerable danger and now has defected to the united states whereabouts unknown. she was on our program earlier in the week and here is her basic claim. human to human transmission happened at least three weeks prior to the chinese government or the world health organization admitting this. >> she's absolutely right. doctors in wuhan, the epicenter knew at least five weeks before china formally admitted. >> bill: five weeks. >> they did that on january 20 and the harvard medical school study that came out last month talked about a situation where doctors in wuhan should have known about this, maybe august, maybe september so maybe five months, but clearly, it was no later than the second week of september that doctors in wuhan knew about human to human transmission. >> bill: you are claiming five weeks? >> five weeks. no later than the second week of december. >> bill: okay.

i don't know what's going to happen here, but there is a threat to try and prevent chinese communist party leaders from traveling here to the u.s. and the family members. we press the secretary of state on that yesterday. he did not want to go there. is that something that would happen and if so, what they even listen to such travel ban? >> i don't know if this will actually happen because this is sweeping, but it should happen. we have to remember the communist party believes in the overthrow of the u.s. government. it's been engaged in very dangerous, very belligerent activity stilling u.s. intellectual property to the hundreds of billions of dollars a year, it's been challenging the u.s. navy on the u.s. air force in very dangerous intercepts. the list goes on and on. so why would we want them here? remember, the communist party last year declared that people's war, quote unquote on the u.s., it did that in may. so china obviously thinks there

is a conflict. we should too and defend our society. >> bill: and the conversations we've had for some time now with regard to the relationship of china and the rest of the world. some are suggesting cold war 2.0 is already here. are you in that camp? >> china has been waging the cold war against the united states for decades. what's really changes the united states has acknowledged the depth and the fundamental nature of china's challenge to the u.s. so there is cold war 2.0, but it's been going on for a very long time. it's just that we americans wanted to be oblivious. >> bill: thank you for coming back today and we will speak again very soon, thank you. more than one dozen women reportedly say they were sexually harassed or verbally abused while working for the washington redskins. details on the response from the team on that in a moment here. also, the former mayor of baltimore responding to the governor of maryland's criticism over how she handled the riots

in her city five years ago. at this amid calls to defund the police as gun violence bikes in major american cities. daphne rawlings jones may live on all of that in a moment. hike!

>> bill: is shooting in chicago leaving three people injured including a baby boy, resting comfortably after a bullet grazed his temple. two suspects now in custody, gun violence continues to spike in chicago, a 1-year-old shot and killed just last month in that city. in the governor of maryland now says the former mayor of baltimore is "out of touch with reality." criticizing the democrat over how she handled the riots in

2015 after the death of freddie gray in police custody. here to respond to that today and good afternoon to you and thank you for coming back to our program here. >> it's a pleasure to be here. >> bill: he went after you pretty hard, just going to read one of the experts here as he writes this. "what did she just say? space for those who wish to destroy? i could hardly believe my ears. unless the agitators injured to kill someone, the mayor was going to let them destroy property and cause other kinds of mayhem. was as close to a hands-off response to urban violence as i had ever heard from a political leader. that was in reaction to a comment you made in front of cameras about giving the rioters space to destroy property. your response to the governor? >> first, he knows that it was taken significantly out of

context, but that aside at the end of the day, there is no way that i would be able to rise and become the mayor of my hometown, to become the first african-american woman to become president of the u.s. conference of mayors, secretary of the dnc if i gave space in my life to the unfounded criticism of the white men that i've encountered in my life and i don't intend to do it now. >> bill: there was the quote, it is on camera, give space to those who wish to destroy, and that was getting an awful lot of attention. >> it got a lot of attention. >> bill: it was spoken. >> it was spoken, but only speaking half of the quote, so it's taken out of context. and as someone who i know, you spend a lot of time defending the first amendment. that was all i was saying is i work hard to protect the first amendment rights of the protesters, and they took advantage of that and if you

listen to the entire thing in the context of the interview, he would understand that in the governor knows that. >> bill: he also suggests he did not want that and didn't want to intervene, said he did not have the backs of police. i know you disagree with that also. but as you answer that, just reflect on what we are seeing whether rates in portland or seattle or here in new york city because it looks as if these american cities have been turned upside down with the violence. >> the violence we are seeing in our cities is shameful, and what's more shameful is that like larry hogan, we have too many people pointing fingers without offering solutions. i think it works better, cities work better when all levels of government, the local government, state government, and federal government are on the same page and want to solve the problem. it is far too easy to point the finger and it is harder to get

in the trenches and do the hard work to make cities safer and he has yet to do that. >> bill: you mention white men. do you think that's where it's coming from? >> again, i'm not giving that space. it's up for him to sell his book. >> bill: fair enough. perhaps he'll join us next week. >> to talk about vice president biden, i hope next time you wi will. >> bill: i hope you come back, thank you for your answers. the vice president mike pence meanwhile stepping up the attacks on joe biden's plan for the economy during a speech today, reaction from her panel, back today to talk about that. plus, is russia trying to steal the covid vaccine research? the latest intel from our allies in a moment. >> i regret that other countries instead of working on the project are trying to steal from

western democracies who are making real progress on these usaa is made for what's next we're helping members catch up by spreading any missed usaa insurance payments over the next twelve months so they can keep more cash in your pockets for when it matters most find out more at usaa.com

so when it comes to screening for colon cancer, don't wait. because when caught early, it's more treatable. i'm cologuard. i'm noninvasive and detect altered dna in your stool to find 92% of colon cancers even in early stages. tell me more. it's for people 45 plus at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your prescriber if cologuard is right for you. i'm on it. that's a step in the right direction. c'mon pizza's here. whoa! is that shaq? this is my new pizza the shaq-a-roni and it's bigger than pizza because for every shaq-a-roni sold, $1 is donated to the papa john's foundation for building community.

>> bill: trying to steal information about a coronavirus vaccine, that is according to intel from the u.s., the u.k., and canada. the british foreign minister accusing moscow of pursuing selfish interests with reckless behavior. russia denies having anything to do with the hacking attempts. benjamin hall reports on this live in london. what do you think we've learned so far? >> a lot of other information coming out of this, what is so significant is for the first time, the british americans and canadians have all pointed the finger directly at russia and accuse them of being behind state-sponsored hacking. in this case, the coronavirus vaccine research. an investigation between the three intelligence agencies uncovered this plot to steal research directly from pharmaceutical companies from their hard work and academic

institutions working specifically on the coronavirus vaccine and therapeutic research. they say it's been going on since february for the infamous russia happening group has also now for the first time been publicly linked to russian intelligence. cozy bear has been previously linked to attacks on the white house, the state department, and the democrats. in this case, the russian spies are accused of trying to exploit security software and external mail service. in a statement today, the kremlin denied it and said "we do not accept the accusations. we do not know who has tried to hack what in britain but russia has nothing to do with this." russia announced it has plans to produce 30 million doses of its own vaccine later this year in the first human trial ended this week with researchers concluding it a safer use and successfully induces an immune response. is not known which companies or universities were targeted, but the government also come out and

said we are releasing this information so they can bolster their cybersecurity and also know the governments in some cases have been helping private companies bolster their own security. so valuable this research. >> bill: benjamin hall on that story today in london, thank y thank you. >> we've rolled back federal red tape at a historic pace. joe biden would impose an avalanche of regulations on our economy. under president trump, the united states has actually achieved energy independence no longer relying on the middle east. joe biden would destroy our fossil fuel industry, returned to the war on coal. >> bill: that the vice president today making an economic pitch for president trump and battleground wisconsin. joe biden releasing part two of his plan this week focusing on building a new and green economy to boost jobs. want to bring in our economic team, advisor for the trump team, former chairman of the council of economic advisors,

nice to see you both. kind of feels like the weekend. i don't know who started last week, i don't know who went first but here's what i want to frame for you. we learned a lot about what joe biden's plan would be if elected in november, here's the first part. biden-sanders unity plan, a $15 federal minimum wage, repeal the right to work laws, higher the corporate tax rate, someone like that higher. without deductibles and expanded student loan forgiveness. there's more. to trillion dollar climate plan, zero carbon by 2050, carbon pollution free power grid by 2035, on and on it goes bear that's a mouthful. now that we have a frame of reference, steve, how do you see this debate shaping up 106 mod days away? >> it's almost like donald trump is on venus and biden's on mars. they are so far apart in terms

of their economic philosophy. we did almost exactly the opposite of what biden is talking about, we cut taxes for american companies to make this a more attractive place to invest in. we promoted american energy, all forms of energy including our oil and gas and we did become the number one energy producer in the world, and we reduced regulations in a big way. president was in the white house yesterday celebrating the big rollbacks on the regulatory state and it has created a best economy we've had in 30 or 40 years, so it seems like i don't understand the logic of switching back to the old policy. >> bill: return serve to you, austin. >> looked out the window, steve. the unemployment rate is the highest in almost a century. who we are four-month since the biggest pandemic and 100 years, and the president still has no plan to get us out of it. when the governors on the mayors

come up with plans, the president undermines their plans. that is the thing that is destroying the economy and mike pence, for him to go to wisconsin, he's the guy who supposed to be in charge of the covid task force. does he not have something better to do when we have a massive raging infection problem like no other rich country on earth? all of the other advanced economies have been able to put this behind us. was very strong on infrastructure and on replenishing the stockpile and the president is talking about a socialist and the vice president is talking about things that they did two years ago. what are you doing right now to stop this disease? >> bill: it's a good debate, have a minute left, let's mind the time. thinking about another phase deal here in congress. and there was some word today

that more money for schools, 31 billion and the cares act, much of that has not yet been used and maybe it gets a liability protection or maybe they don't. steve, are you of the mind that you do not do another deal now? >> i think the economy is getting a lot better. i think we are seeing really good job numbers the last couple of months. i think if we do a payroll tax cut for every single worker in america, the hardworking people and heroes of our economy, creating more jobs, that's what i'd advise president trump to do and he likes that idea a lot. we can't keep paying people for being unemployed. >> bill: what you think we need now? >> i always say what we need now is to stop the spread of the virus. that's the best thing you can do for the economy. the second thing we need to do is give money to people and make that the focus like in the biden plan. i don't think following up with

$2 trillion corporate giveaway that we had in 2017 that did not generate the investment they promised did not lead to the $4,000 income increase for average americans that they promised. i don't think we should repeat that and that's what you hear coming out of the white house. >> bill: i didn't hear what you would support, so maybe we can get in that debate next week because we know congress will take it up. thank you, austin, and steve. >> i said money to people. >> bill: i get it, but in the next stage, is that the answer? >> yes. a payroll tax cut. >> bill: got you. you are on mars and you are on venus. gentlemen, thank you, have a good weekend. nice to see you both. washington's nfl team facing another controversy. "the washington post" reports that 15 women say they were sexually harassed while working for the team. mike emanuel a at the team stadm outside of washington, d.c. good afternoon.

>> good afternoon. now the team owner dan snyder is responding to this explosive report saying "this story has strengthened my commitment to setting a new culture and standard for our team. a process that began with the hiring of coach rivera earlier this year. we will institute new policies and procedures and strengthen our human resources infrastructure to not only avoid these issues in the future, but most importantly create a team culture that is respectful and inclusive of all." the nfl saying today these matters as reported are serious, disturbing, and contrary to the nfl's values. everyone in the nfl has the right to work in an environment free from any and all form of harassment." 15 female former employees of the washington redskins football franchise alleged sexual harassment and verbal abuse. in the past week, three senior officials for the team were either fired or retired i'm a former employee emily applegate says working for the team was the most miserable experience of her life.

>> nobody deserves to be degraded and treated like that. nobody deserves to be disrespected and for any of us women that want to get into a career that is a male-dominated force, we shouldn't be afraid that these are the things that are going to happen. >> the team has hired a high-powered attorney beth wilkinson who told fox her firm was retained to do an independent review of the team's culture, policies, and allegations of workplace misconduct. the nfl is expected to meet with wilkinson and her team when she has done with her probe and says it will take whatever action necessary based on her findings. >> bill: stay with me a momen moment, releasing a new declassified documents and chairman lindsey graham says they undercut the dossier detailing claims of misconduct by the trump campaign and russia. what have we learned about that? >> newly on classified documents from the department of justice cutting to the core of the

russia probe, essentially they went to the sub source, the person behind christopher steele's dossier and said what was the deal with you providing this information? he told the fbi that he was not comfortable with the way christopher steele uses information. of the fbi then went to the fisa court and got surveillance warrants for various people, so bottom line, lindsey graham, the chairman of the judiciary committee is saying people made misrepresentations to the fisa court and suggests some people may be in trouble for all of this. >> bill: more to come on that, mike emanuel, thank you. i'll talk to the governor of ohio about whether people should be required to wear a mask in his state. governor mike no mind me live next. cut! is that good? no you were talking about allstate and... i just... when i... accident forgiveness from allstate. click or call for a quote today.

>> bill: the governor in ohio urging, not ordering people to wear masks as covid cases continue to rise there. welcome back to our program, thank you for speaking with us today. you are one of the early states to close down, did around the same time new york did. here is what we found. last two weeks, cases of 3033%, deaths approaching almost 7% in ohio today. what is the status for where you think this is at the moment? >> i did the speech with people in the state of ohio on wednesday night and just kind of outline where i thought we were in one of the things i said was we are today were florida was a month ago and what we do in the next several weeks is really going to determine where we go. we do a mandatory mask order for several months for people who work, who are employed. everybody there has to have a mask on. today, we have 60% of the

population of ohio is covered by mandatory masks for people who are customers who go in. so these are the counties that we are seeing the spread, the most counties that we are most worried about. >> bill: you downgraded a few of those counties yesterday, they take turns, do they? >> no. we had a couple of them go down a little bit, but we also had a number of them go up, and so as i said, we've got about 60% of the population of the state now covered by the mandatory mask order and it really comes down to what people are doing in their individual lives and there's only so much the government can regulate for government should regulate what they do, but when i talked to the health directors and look at where we are seeing cases and where we are seeing the spread, it's coming about in bars, coming about in people having gatherings of people.

we have a ten limit person order on unless it is your family in ohio and people are gathering in much bigger crowds than that. >> bill: i am looking at these two events in columbus, i think they've had zero positive cases coming out of it, that's good over a period of two weeks. i just wonder what you would say to those who say if you are fighting to get to zero, you're going to be fighting this thing for another year and a half. >> if we do what, i'm sorry? >> bill: if you fight this thing to get all the way down to zero, how long would that take? >> i think we are going to find it one way or the other, and i think you are not going to eradicate it until we have a vaccine, but what we need to do it someone said the analogy that needs to be a smoldering there fire. but what you don't want is for it to flareup, and we've got to keep it from flaring up. it's giving some signs that it

may flareup. what we are seeing in the south, texas and florida is not what we want to see in ohio. we feel for those folks down there and the doctors and nurses. we have to do everything in ohio to keep that from coming to ohio. >> bill: think you and good luck to you, appreciate you coming back. mike dewine, thank you. what states are doing in a moment, getting kids on the field for fall sports, talking with a woman who was giving the guidance to every state in america next. ♪

today? >> well, thank you for having us on, bill, and i hope you and your viewers are well. we have provided guidance to all of our state associations that really encourages being as informed as possible. do you know what your governor's offices are saying, what your state health agencies are saying. pay attention to the cdc guidelines, and certainly at the local level. we recommend that states and schools do what they can for the community because the situation is dramatically different across the country, depending on where you live. >> bill: what are they asking that you do? >> they are asking the national federation to be leaders, to provide resources from a medical perspective through our advisory committee on the appropriate phases to get kids back to activities, depending on the level of risk in various sports. the level of risk really is based on aerosol production and

respiratory droplets spread. our advisory committee has done a good job helping us to develop guidance, and we have gone even further in providing some recommendations and suggestions that might be made to allow for distancing while kids are enjoying sports as they are traditionally played. >> bill: what are the markers you are looking for? >> well, we are certainly looking at a decrease and certainly, the ideal would be no cases as kids go back to activities, but what we are suggesting is ten days to 14 days for staging as schools and kids go back to activities. so in a phase one approach, hopefully outside, minimal equipment, no use of locker rooms, no use of shared hydration stations, and then ten

days to two weeks, his numbers are good, certainly a more kids can come together, more sharing of equipment, more participation types of activities. and if that's a stands for ten days to 14 days, looking at a possible phase three, which would allow for more participation and maybe even interscholastic competition, but again, a lot of this decision-making is at the local level and based heavily on what the state agencies are recommending. >> bill: it's interesting to hear your plan because you clearly have one. just a few seconds left. are you optimistic for the kids this fall? >> very much so. we have to be. we and our communities must be optimistic because these kids need to go back to activities. i think that in this new world, we have to look out a way to balance care and caution with

common sense. >> bill: i agree with you. if i were a teenager, i would be pulling my hair out. good luck, thank you for your time today. thanks. you've made it, folks. it's friday. we will see you again on monday. here is neil. >> we are not putting forth guidelines that say it schools can physically open for in person education. the county that they are operating in has been off of our monitoring list for 14 consecutive days. >> neil: all right. some in person learning, but by far, not all. they are read from state that a lot of schools will not be opening up in person. they are not the only ones. we have developments in chicago, in houston, and atlanta, in arlington, virginia, in nashville
