>> you are looking at video from moments ago in alabama on the left of your screen there where a funeral service honoring john lewis was just held at troy university. welcome to america's news headquarters from washington. i'm kristin fisher. leland: nice to be with you, and nice to be with you at home. i'm leland vittert. this is one event honoring john lewis this weekend and a public service held in selma later this evening. and alicia acuna is here with

more. >> hi. u.s. congressman and civil rights hero john lewis is being honored in his hometown of troy, alabama. institutionallized racism and champion for the disenfranchised. >> he was fearless because with god, he was chosen. he helped others, he often told us if you see something wrong, do something. >> we heard from his siblings who knew him as robert, and leaders here in alabama of the man who would show up to the members of his family's classrooms when they were kid as a surprise guest and no matter how sick he felt at the end, was asking how everyone else was. that was john robert lewis. he grew up in segregated schools after he will be taken

to selma, alabama for service at brown chapel and a & e church. and tomorrow in one of the more poignant moments, the caisson will take him across the he had mound pettus bridge one last time, and this is where lewis' skull was cracked after an alabama state trooper attacked hundreds of peaceful marchers. and this is the symbolism of the carrying of his casket. >> for action on the edmund pettus bridge, confronting alabama state troopers. and now, alabama state troopers will lead his body around the state as we celebrate his life. [applaus [applause] >> lewis was dubbed the boy from troy by his inspiration in the civil rights struggle dr. martin luther king, jr. according to those who knew him

and his family, congressman lewis was not a fan of long ceremonies. that's why the ceremonies went by in a quick clip. leland: and i'm wondering, alicia, has he is returned back to alabama and to where so much of his work was done in the early parts of the civil rights movement, are you seeing anybody there who was perhaps on the other side of mr. lewis, 50, 60 years ago, who has now come back with a changed heart and a changed mind to pay respects? >> i haven't seen that personally here, but we have seen this, leland, since his passing a week ago friday, people coming forward and seeing how things have changed. and when we talk about change that has happened here, what is particularly significant is

this first service here at troy university. when he was just 17 years old, john lewis sent a letter to then troy state college, an all-white school and he never heard back, now he's being honored on the campus of troy university for a live well-served. leland: so much was changed for the better in large part of congressman lewis, his work and dedication to nonviolence and moral courage. alicia acuna in alabama as we pay respects. thank you. kristin has got more. kristin: joining us now is fox news contributor and the niece of the dr. martin luther king, jr., alveda king. thank you for being with us as we look back and honor the life and legacy of john lewis. >> i'm so glad to join you. i just have a couple of seconds. i wish i was there. deepest condolences to everyone, john will be missed.

of course, i was a civil rights activist as a youth during the time when the selma incident happened. my dad was on the bridge. john was a man of courage, conviction, a very peaceful warrior and he will definitely be missed. kristin: alveda, there's just so much to think about and look back on all the things that congressman lewis did and accomplished, but what is the one thing that you were thinking about the most as we begin this six-day celebration of his life? >> well, he will be missed, i think about him being peaceful, resolving conflicts peacefully. i think that young people can learn so much from that same example and i encourage everyone to follow his example of being a peaceful warrior. we didn't always agree with each other philosophically or politically, but i tell you what, john lewis will be missed

as a peaceful warrior. kristin: i have no doubt about that. you know, one of the things that stand out to me the most about his life, what he was able to accomplish at such a young age. i mean, at age 23 he led one of the largest civil united states marches in history. he addressed americans from the steps of the lincoln memorial, alongside martin luther king, jr. what was it that gave him the power and the conviction to do such big and bold things at such a young age? >> john lewis was dedicated to service. he was dedicated to doing his work peacefully, and those are principles and characteristics that last throughout the ages. kristin: you know, even though he was so sick, battling pancreatic cancer in the last weeks of his life, he still found time to speak out about what was happening in this country in the wake of the

death of george floyd. he gave an interview saying, you cannot stop the call of history. what did this new civil rights movement, so to speak, this new push for racial equality in this country, what did he think of it and what did it mean to him? >> you know, we are one blood, one race, 1726 through 1728 and martin luther king, jr. said we must learn to live together as brothers, i'll add as sisters, and not perish together as fools. so brother john would have, of course, understood that and seeing human beings as one blood, one humanity. no matter what our differences are, we must communicate and resolve peacefully and that's something that john lewis did throughout his lifetime that can be remembered and can actually be modeled. kristin: can you tell us a little bit about what you talked about with him the last time the two of you spoke?

>> the last time i saw john, of course, it was a very brief conversation, and i said hello, congressman. how are you? he wished me well and he said how is your mother? so he was being very thoughtful. he always remembered relationships. my mother, naomi king, who is still living, loved john dearly, we all did. and so, i just will remember him, his smile and during his wife's lifetime, and i saw john and his wife lillian wasn't there, i asked how she was and we talked about family. and we weren't together politically so that was not something we would talk about, but his character to resolve peacefully, something that i remember with john. kristin: alveda king, thank you so much for taking the time to

talk to us on this very special day. >> thank you. god bless you. kristin: thank you. and this is only the beginning. we're going to be covering all of this weekend's events honoring congressman john lewis, we'll have tonight's chapel service in selma, alabama, and tomorrow, a two-hour special separacelebrat the life he lived as his casket crosses the edmund pettus bridge in selma. that's tomorrow at 11 eastern. >> hurricane hannah will make landfall any hour now, slamming into the texas coast with inches of rain and feet of storm surge. you can see the sustained winds there on your screen. casey stegall live in dallas where much of texas is getting ready for the first hurricane of the 2020 season. hi, casey. >> hi, leland, good to see you. hannah in fact was upgrade today a category 1 hurricane just this morning.

sustained winds of 75 miles per hour. we want to show you that radar loop again as the storm makes its way closer and closer to south texas. hannah is expected to make landfall between corpus christi and brownsville later today. folks in those areas have been taking precautions over the last few days, doing the traditional things like filling sand bags, boarding up some homes and businesses, voluntary evacuations ordered in lower lying areas of cliburn county, texas. now, galveston is about 250 miles to the north and while it's not expected to take a direct hit from hannah, the storm began tracking a little further northwest and officials say that has caused tides there to be above four feet than normal. there's also concern that the outer bands could drop three to seven inches of rain in a short period of time. >> the about big concern is localized street flooding so we're really telling people, if

a street is flooded don't drive into those flood waters. >> boy, are the tropics active right now. this is a map of hurricane douglas out in the pacific and it's now threatening parts of hawaii. it's expected to make landfall tonight or tomorrow on the island of maui, an at a cat 1 hurricane or as a tropical storm. here is the governor. >> it is a powerful storm that is forecasted to affect the islands significantly. stay away from east facing shores as we do expect storm surge as well as high surf. we do expect rain on the w windward side of the island and impact in the evening into sunday. >> if there's a bit of good news. did you ouglas was a category 3

it's lost steam in the cooler water surrounding the hawaiian islands. leland. leland: still so much of hawaii's economy has been devastated by the covid lockdown and then to see this coming ashore. casey, thanks so much. kristin. kristin: confrontations continue in several mainly cities. last night into very early this morning, there was another tense face-off with federal officers in portland. christina coleman is tracking it live in los angeles for us. >> hi, kristin. people who live and work around downtown, they've endured nearly 60 days of unrest and protest. just showers -- just hours ago, they used a power chain saw to cut into the fence at the courthouse. several gathered outside of that building into the early morning hours. federal agents deployed tear gas and had to extinguish a

large fire down the street. despite the attacks on federal buildings and assault on officers during the weeks of unrest, many democratic leaders are resisting help from agents, saying it's with the tensions. today on good morning america, albuquerque mayor tim keller says he welcomed law enforcement partners to fight crime, but he does not welcome what he considers to be political maneuvers that incite violence. it's just because of the president's own words, so the day before he announced as he explicitly said he was targeting progressive mayors for the campaign. and was trying to connect that to challenges with law enforcement. and so, given what we've seen in portland, we're very, very concerned. i don't think any mayor wants what's happening in portland to happen in their town. last night a federal judge blocked seattle's new law that

would have prohibited police from using tear gas and other weapons. and they say they need more between the city and doj. and also a solidarity protest is planned for today in seattle. 100 additional federal agents are on standby in case things have turned violent which has happened many p times during peaceful protests. kristin. kristin: i can't get over the use of leaf blowers by some protesters to push it back to the law officers. makes for incredible video. leland: the protesters had acetylene torches out there. a little more on the politics behind this and the president's statements about portland later in the show. the u.s. state department has new warning, that americans in

china face risk of interrogation. and saying that the consulate was a den of spies and using that to steal from u.s. companies. and the chinese mission where the americans documented many of china's human rights violations, former president of the import export bank is joining us now. we appreciating you joining us. the chinese seems to have done so much more to poke back at the united states. are the chinese blinking? >> i don't know if they're blinking, the problem with the tit-for-tat moves, listen, there should be no place for commercial spying. and president obama called out xi jinping in 2015, and all

that's fair. companies should not have to be --. leland: fred, i remember when i was in the rose garden, i believe, when president xi jinping and president obama celebrated that agreement at the white house, i think it was 2014 or 2015 covering the obama administration and i had sources inside nsc saying the exact time the chinese were making that agreement and shaking hand about it, they were launching new cyber attacks. so it seems the only thing the chinese do understand is a little bit of a poke in the eye. >> well, listen, president trump, i give president trump credit. he has poked them in the eye. he's put china back on its heels and the question, how do we best use that? china isn't going away. they've been around for 5,000 years. we are going to have to find ways to live with them. leland: an interesting point, live with them and figure out what they want. you look at chinese's bad acts

of late. the south china sea, threatening the australian. fighting with the indians on the border, and poking the indians in the eye. they're harassing the japanese fishing fleets. what end? what do they want? >> china, i found i was there, they can be ham-handed. they doesn't have a way with diplomacy. they're blunt and trying to make a lot of enemies. we on the other hand are smarter, we've had great allies and should be using them to our advantage. leland: we're showing video right now of two carrier battle groups that went in the south china sea and then into the indian ocean, the chinese for the first time participated in joint military exercises with the indian navy and indian air force. and here is what secretary pompeo has had to say.

take a listen. >> we opened our arms to chinese citizens only to see this, if the free world doesn't change, doesn't change, communist china will surely change us. leland: you've been there since 1991 in china as they opened. is that their goal to change us? >> i think china is more concerned about their internal things. they don't have the same global motivation that say the soviet union had after world war ii. so china is more concerned about-- >> really? it seems as though they do. they're expanding their military into africa. you've got the belten road project, building infrastructure around the world. they're buying up ports and building ports in north and south america. >> that's correct. they have certainly an economic view, but in terms of military

domination, i don't think that's their view, i don't believe that. i do believe we have to compete with china, we have to know when to sort of host them and then be conciliatory. but across the board blanket statement. i don't think we'll actually win support there. leland: appreciate the time. we know you've got a new book out in which you talk about president trump and his challenges with china. >> thank you. leland: kristin. kristin: new fox news polling shows that joe biden is holding his lead over president trump in several key battle ground states. david spunt is standing by in bridge dme bridgewater, new jersey. >> the president is set to meet with reporters as the polls show it's flipping to biden. those stories after the break. is that net carbs or total?...

eh, not enough fiber... chocolate would be good... snacking should be sweet and simple.

>> new fox polling shows president trump trailing in several key battle ground states with joe biden leading in states like michigan, minnesota, and pennsylvania. we've got david spunt live in bridgewater, new jersey, with election day almost exactly 100 days away.

101 days to be precise, david. >> 100 days tomorrow, kristin. the clock is ticking, no question about it. if you believe in polls, some people do, some don't, the polls show the president is in a little bit of trouble, and they show he's trailing to his opponent, former vice-president joe biden. in 2016 there was a push for pennsylvania. candidate donald trump pulled through against hillary clinton, but may not be the case in this one now. it's joe biden's home state. 66 in pennsylvania, but president trump dropped from 42%, three points down to --

and from women, the president wants to garn ter and president trump seeing drops in support from men and white vote e, two groups that he counted on to help cross the finish line in 2016. kristin, we're in the middle of a pandemic. in many cases people will absentee vote and mail in ballots. the president call that fraud although he and members of his staff vote absentee. >> mr. president, there's no political advantage from one side to the other with absentee ballots, but besides it uses them effectively to normally preva prevail. >> that's tom ridge, the first department of homeland security secretary, a close ally of president george w. bush, a republican who said that there's no science that shows

that mail-in ballots cause fraud. although most sides agree if there are more absentee ballots, more mail-in ballots, hopefully not to november 1, on who is going to win the white house. kristin: it's clear that the president and trump campaign are going to make this issue front and center until election day. thanks, david. for all of you at home, don't forget to watch fox news sunday tomorrow. chris wallace has an exclusive interview with treasury secretary steve mnuchin as negotiations continue over the next coronavirus relief package. leland: we look at both of gulf of mexico and the pacific ocean. two hurricanes athletic different parts of the united states as we look at hannah about to make landfall in texas right when we come back.

>> well, here we go. two hurricanes are inching closer to the united states with texas and hawaii now bracing for impact. and meteorologist adam klotz is in the extreme weather center tracking them. it's official now, hanna is the first hurricane of 2020? >> yes, it's official and it's going to make landfall in the united states in the next couple of hours. that's the one we'll begin with. storm wind already up to 80 miles per hour. there's going to be a lot of rain with the system. there is spins off the south texas coast with the 80 mile per hour winds and it will be running across south texas this evening and eventually into mexico weakening as it does so. but it's going to bring powerful winds and heavy rain at times. we're already seeing winds in corpus christi up to 60 miles per hour, stretching north up the texas coast and spots 30 miles per hour, powerful winds are with this system already. here is the future forecast.

it does look like this will be making landfall late in the afternoon into early in the evening hours. so think anywhere from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. is when we likely see the landfall. it moves across south texas and brings heavy rain with it when it does. the heaviest rains are in the southern reaches of texas from brownsville, down into portions of northern mexico and besides this storm, we do have another hurricane. this one in the pacific, hurricane douglas. this is still 440 miles to the east of hawaii, but it's moving a little bit quicker, 18 miles per hour to the west-northwest. this one passing by the islands tomorrow, winds at 105 miles an hour. likely moving off to the north of hawaiian islands, but that's one to pay attention to for the end of the weekend. yes, kristin,s an i get-- as i get ready to toss it back to you. two hurricanes passing the

united states within the next 24 hours. a lot to pay attention to in the weather center. back to you. kristin: we knew it was coming and we knew we'd have to deal with a hurricane in the middle of a pandemic. now it's here and we'll see with the evacuations, how it goes with all of these stay-at-home orders in so many states prone to hurricanes. adam klotz, thanks so much. leland. leland: overnight in portland, federal agents faced rioters trying to cut through fence was acetylene torches. as attacks continued on the courthouse through the weekend there. the white house yesterday tried to draw a distinction between what antifa says they are and their actions. >> i have a short video for you because i want it to be real, what's happening right now in portland. portland. >> killed your whole family and i hope they kill you, too. i hope someone burns down your whole precinct with all of you inside. can't wait to see it. >> as you can see, that's anything, but a peaceful

protest. leland: so how does this play come october and november? the home stretch of the presidential election. joining us now, josh kimbrel radio talk show host heard in the carolinas and around the world on the worldwide web. appreciate it. you're in charlotte and i'm thinking of swing voters in north carolina watching these images juxtaposed with the president's actions and comments. is there a clear winner? >> well, i do believe, leland and it's good to be with you, too, that the american people support police reform. they did not support what happened in minneapolis. we're way beyond that when you look at antifa and violent protests in portland, seattle, and other big cities across the country. it makes people uncomfortable and concerned. the atlantic, a liberal publication said americans are good with police reform, they're not good with riots.

when you see 75, 80%, that doesn't help the liberal cause, if they support this takeover of cities by groups like antifa. the white house has to be careful how heavyhanded they play it. leland: the president yesterday or two days ago in his sports interview said that people who tore down statues went to prison for 10 years and there were no more. this is what they had to say recently. trump's deployment of federal forces is transforming political wars on big cities something closer to the real thing. it's breath taking in its danger, citing rahm emanuel, former white house chief of staff. and massive opposition over the metros and chaos in portland might look like the political

skirmish for a more incendiary collision to come. dissecting that, it sounds like there's wing of the democratic party saying if you don't elect a democrat there's more violence like we saw in portland that's going to come to every city in america. >> i think there's a psychological term for that is called projections. the people breaking store fronts and attacking police and civilians, and in seattle and portland and other cities across the country. that's nothing short of irresponsible fear mongering acting like the president is declaring war on-- >> when we look at polling where suburban voters are, the president was note gli tweeting about suburban voters. suburban vetters biden 49,

trump 38. if that holds true, those numbers should be flipped. >> i'm involved in campaigns every day. the fox polls are more accurate than national polls when you look at cnn and zogby, they're as off as fauci's pitch at the washington's game. the first time voters to voted first time in 2016 and likely to vote second in-- >> josh, here is the question though, is somebody ever going to actually talk about from the republican side going to talk about the president's actions as perhaps having something to do with him being so far down in the polls? perhaps everyone will be vindicated when there's some 12 point swing come november, but the polls, the national polls in 2016 were pretty much spot on in terms of the vote split.

wouldn't there be reason to maybe think that the president's messaging or what he's saying, how he's saying it, isn't resonating with the suburban voters? >> i think that, leland, that's a point i think is well taken, in a sense the certain way that president's says things might be not be as popular as the position he eventually takes. and in 2016, a lot of people asked in polls do you support the president, they don't say they do. they look at contrasting positions and go with his position. look, the president needs to be disciplined in his message going into november, talk about law and order. and the message wins, but maybe he isn't the best. but the president is win if they stay disciplined-- >> we saw kayleigh try to make the point with video rather than words. josh, we appreciate it. kristin, joshua's point about

what people like about what the president says or not, and we talked about it last night in that sports interview perhaps sometimes after he tweets he thinks twice afterwards. kristin: he said it was the retweets that get him into trouble. so-- >> tweet, tweet, tweet. kristin: i was curious which ones he may have regretted, but it's always the retweets that get you into trouble according to the president. you hear him make an admission or a reversal. leland: and one said did you ever tweet out and oh, man, i wish i wouldn't have tweeted that out. and that happens often. kristin: i sure have. well, coming up, the united states once again has nasa preparing to launch the mars 2020 mission. we'll have a closer look at

this rover ahead of the agency right after the break. y for what you need? i should get a quote. do it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ 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.

>> a new journey to the red planet, na is a's mars 2020 mission could launch as early as next thursday, on board are going to be two key pieces of equipment. a new rover perseverance, and an experimental helicopter named ingenuity which is going to be the first ever aircraft on mars. pretty cool. here with a preview is nasa administrator bridenstine. and this launch is going to take place on thursday, how is it looking? >> we're in good shape. on monday we have a launch readiness review. we're going top to bottom through the rocket and make sure it's ready to go and yes, it looks like thursday is going to be a good day for a launch. i know you are a man who appreciates a good name. you think about a lot of the

names that are given to these spacecrafts and rovers, and programs, and if you look back at the history of nasa's mars rovers, spirit, opportunity, curiosity and now perseverance. why perseverance? >> i think at this time in u.s. history and world history, persevere is what we do. and this is a name that came from a 7th grader in virginia, a student. and we had a naming competition. the nasa team looked at all of the, you know, submissions and we just thought perseverance was the right name for this moment in history and it's also true that, look, the president gave us an agenda. he wants us to launch american astronauts again, we've done that and we wants to go to the moon and mars and we'll make that happen. in order to make that happen we have to persevere through the difficult times. the president gave us an agenda and we're moving out on it.

kristin: so if the launch is a go on thursday, the rover will land on mars, i believe in february of 2021. what exactly will it be doing when it gets there? >> so many exciting things. this is really the first mission that where we're actually going to look, specifically look for signs of past life. we're talking about microbial life. was it there at one point in time or could it be there today? we know from spirit and opportunity and curiosity, we know that mars was covered in water one time in the northern hemisphere and used to have a thick atmosphere and magnetspear that protected it from space and we know it's covered in complex compounds, the building blocks for life. the question was life ever on mars? could it even be there today? that's what perseverance is going to help us decide, but

ultimately we're laying the foundation for president trump's agenda to land the american flag on mars. that's what we're doing. we have a mission on here called moxie and that's going to help us basically take the carbon dioxide atmosphere of mars and turn it into pure oxygen to eventually take humans to the surface of mars. kristin: this is an incredibly complex mission. people at nasa have been working on this many, many years and invested about $2.5 billion in this mission. can you explain why you believe that this is a good use of taxpayer dollars? >> absolutely. the return on investment from nasa missions such as this is overwhelming and you don't have to look far to see it. a lot of your viewers are watching this, maybe on direct tv, dish network, maybe they'll see it on the internet. internet broadband from space. these are all communications capabilities born from this little agency called nasa. the way we communicate, the way

we produce food, produce energy, the way we navigate, the way we do national security and defense, all of these things are technologies that come from nasa. in fact the camera and computer i'm talking to you on is a nasa technology from a mars mission of the past. so, look-- >> and we're looking at this video-- i'm sorry to interrupt you, jim. we were looking at the video of the helicopter ingenuity. we've never seen anything like that on mars before. what's it going to do? >> first time ever in the history of humanity, we're going to fly a helicopter on another world. this is a technology demonstrator. think of it as a scout. we need perseverance to go to specific places. how do we know where to send perseverance. the scout ingenuity is going to be that capable for us. kristin: final question, jim. two days ago the chinese also launched its own mission to mars and you know, a lot of people might think hey, they're doing it two days ago, but a

week before nasa attempts this. really, there's quite a bit of competition, but you put out a tweet and congratulated them. why? >> well, look, if this is a competition, we are winning and with president trump, we're winning by even more than ever before. this is the 9th time that we have sent a robot to mars. this is the 9th time. and of course, when we look at human space flight in general, we of course had humans on the moon 50 years ago, so, look, we're way ahead. we've got so many capabilities transforming how we think about ourselves and our own solar system and galaxy and universe. if i were to say nothing about another nation going to mars, i think that would be even more silly. but the reality is, we're so far ahead it's not even-- it shouldn't even be considered a competition. kristin: well, and you know, no matter how tense things get between countries here on earth, one of my favorite things about space is, that

other nations, sometimes even adversaries, they root each other on when they go for big, bold targets like mars. jim bridenstine, good luck on the launch this week. >> thank you. leland: baseball is back, but it looks a lot different if you've been watching. alex hogan outside city field. a preview what's changing for all of us. >> hi, leland, getting a hot dog and a cold beer on this hot day is not what fans are experiencing at citifield. what they will be seeing this season. introducing new voltaren arthritis pain gel, the first and only full prescription strength non-steroidal anti-inflammatory gel available over-the-counter. new voltaren is powerful arthritis pain relief in a gel. voltaren. the joy of movement. new voltaren is powerful arthfine, no one leaves thegel. tablefine, we'll sleep here.

0tv. starting today there will be augmented reality creating virtual fans. fox sports's 25th year of broadcasting mlb games and the ceo says it took effort and technology to make things feel normal. >> so, even if people can't go, we're trying to make the environment as the atmosphere as robust as possible. >> usually only 10 teams make it to the postseason, but this year 16 teams will get a taste of playoff baseball. the new format eliminated wild card games and instead eight best of three matchups played at the home ballpark of the higher seed. so major league baseball's new rules this year, just as different as the atmosphere, when it comes to watching all of this from home, fans say they're just happy that baseball is back. >> we've had no sports for three months, so i think that people are kind of like accepting, let's see if we can get through the season and take what we can get. >> oh, man, we need baseball. if i have to watch one more

episode of my 600 pound life, i don't know what i'm going to do. >> the season started on thursday, the toronto blue jays announcing they will make buffalo, new york their home base for the season and today the mets take on the padres at 4:10. leland. leland: we'll be watching on television not in person. alex, thank you very much. another thing that's going to change a lot come fall, school. we are going to show you how school districts across the country are trying to figure out if they can get kids back into the classroom. we are going to show you some of those plans after the break.

service for the congressman in troy, alabama earlier this morning as we remember john lewis this weekend. welcome to america's news headquarters from washington. i'm leland vittert. kristin: i'm kristin fisher. that service was the first event of what is going to be six days of ceremonies honoring the congressman. later this evening there's going to be a public service in selma. alicia acuna is live in troy with more from the service. >> reporter: it's easy to forget that as the nation says good-bye to thigh this icon, there is a y biddinbidding farewell to one os members. >> he looked at me and gave me the thumbs up and i gave him the thumbs up back. after the event, i asked him what were you thinking when you gave me the thumbs up. i was thinking this is a long way from the cotton fields of

alabama. >> reporter: in tribute to the congressman and his life, family and organizers kept the ceremony moving, more than 10 minutes fr each person. john lewis was not a fan of long services. there is so much for which he is being honored, long before he served 33 years in the house of representatives, becoming known as the conscience of the congress, lewis gave his blood, sweat and tears, many times over of, to the struggle for civil rights. lewis' sister asked of those gathered how do you write a tribute to a person you have known your whole life? >> rather than preaching injustice and inequality, even at a young age -- everybody was farmers. i remember so long ago, when the clouds would come over the sun, he would start singing and preaching.

>> reporter: dr. martin luther king, junior, lewis made what he called good trouble, necessary trouble in the fight for equal treatment. from here his casket will be escorted to selma, alabama. he will be taken across edmund pettus bridge one last time where he was beaten by state troopers in a march for voting lights. after that it's on to the nation's capital and then on to atlanta, georgia for his internment. kristin: alla alicia, i love t the family members are trying to honor and respect him by keeping the services short as he would have liked. that is a fitting tribute. thank you so much. leland. leland: john lewis had a deep and special relationship with his colleagues in congress on both sides of the aisle. lewis worked with the late congressman john dingell over the years and gave a eulogy at dingell's funeral in february of

2019 where he spoke about one of john dingell's historic votes. >> he was facing a very, very tough re-election. the issue of race was dividing our country. john did not run from his decision or try to explain away his vote. he stood on the courage of his conviction and won that primary by 5,000 votes. leland: joining us now is john dingell's widow, debbie dingell, the house co-chair of the democratic policy and communications commission. our condolences, i know you lost not only a colleague but a dear, dear friend. what was it about john lewis that allowed him to have these intense personal friendships even with people at times he agreed with and other times he

didn't. >> john lewis is just a very special person. he knew that you could disagree with people, agreeably. he knew if you respected them, that maybe you could bring them around. he was a man of peace. that was one of the things that he always said and there were people that attacked him back in those days. john dingell and john lewis knew each other from the '60s. they were friends from that long. many of those people who were wrong in the '60s acknowledged it years later, because he didn't give up, in fighting for what was right. leland: it's interesting. through all of that, somehow john lewis and your husband as well in a different way, but never embraced the bitterness that we see today or the violence or the level of animosity towards the other side. there was always this love in their hearts and a sort of a

commitment to bringing out the best in people. have we lost that somewhere along the way? because you don't see those kinds of friendships and that kind of commitment to nonviolence anymore. >> you do see some of it. i have many friends across the aisle. i've been attacked for it. i'm not going to stop. and -- leland: foreof give me, i was speak -- forgive me, ma'am, i was speaking to the slightly younger generation. >> i know, to the younger generation. the last tam time i saw john les was a month ago, weeks ago. it was june. he had seen me lying on the ground with some young people back home in michigan, allen park, michigan. and he told me, debbie, i'm proud of you. listen to them. be there for them. help guide them. you will be their mentor. and that's what he did. he taught people that. and we have a responsibility to pass it along to generations

behind us. that's what he would tell each of us to do. leland: important to note there were times that he each on issues that you would think he would be on the same side of, spoke out pretty strongly against various movements including lewis farrakhan and the million man march. right now, joe biden has 49, donald trump, 40 in michigan. you famously predicted president trump's election in 2016 and said michigan might flip because there was an undercurrent we didn't understand in 2016. is that same undercurrent not showing up in these polls? i don't believe any poll. leland: ma'am, i think we might have found something that you and the president firmly agree on. >> we do agree on that point. i think if the election were held today joe biden would win.

but we have to make sure that every vote goes out and by the way there, are a lot of -- there's still people that -- on the economy think he was doing a good job and i'm worried about the fear and hatred that's dividing us and we cannot -- this is me speaking now. now i'm going to get the fox viewers coming back at me. we can't let a culture war start. the fact of the matter is, these ads on push one for race, push one for murder and nobody's going to answer for five years are not true. and yet the president has -- as democrats we cannot ignore what he is doing and we have to stand up and make it clear what we are not -- leland: without litigating the issue of federal agents either in portland or other of place, as it comes to the economy i spent a lot of time in michigan over the past few months, certainly not as much time as you, but the economy is just getting crushed.

yet trust to do a better job on the economy, president trump 47, joe biden, 44. if james carvell was right, it's the economy stupid. does the president put aside what they think about his twitter account and vote about the economy in michigan? >> people are unemployed because of covid. the bees is not winning on -- the president is not winning on covid as we've seen this week. he said it's going to get worse before it gets better. leland: he's not winning because he canceled the events in florida? i thought that's what democrats are saying he should do. >> he should do it. nobody is expressing confidence in the way the president has been handling covid. what is the strategy? we need a strategy? i would work with him willingly on anything that would do something to control v covid in the country right now. leland: certainly there's going to be a lot of discussion on how much money to spend in the next

stimulus bill. we'll see the negotiations of on that, the next couple of weeks and into august. congresswoman, we appreciate your time and we'll -- our thoughts and prayers will be with you as you remember your good friend, john lewis. >> thank you, leland. leland: thank you. kristin? kristin: now for the view from the other side of the aisle, we've got republican kentucky congressman and ranking member of the house oversight committee, james comer. congressman, thank you for being with us. i'd like to start where leland and the congresswoman left off with some 2020 politics and some fox news polls and we saw a little bit of a change in tone, shall we call it, a little bit of a change from president trump in terms of how he's responding to the coronavirus pandemic this week and you're a trump campaign surrogate. i'm curious if polls like that are part of the reason why? >> well, i think i will agree for once with congresswoman dingell. a lot of the trump supporters are truly the forgotten

americans because they just don't show up in polling. they never have and apparently it's no different today than it was four years ago. i think this is going to be a close race. certainly the president has always taken covid-19 very seriously. this virus changes constantly. and the president has, to his credit, changed with it and he understands that wearing a mask is something that will definitely create a better environment and help flatten the curve. so i applaud the president's willingness to wear a mask and to go back out to the public and start having a big presence at the daily briefings. kristin: i understand that there are a lot of people who understandably would question polling after what happened in 2016. but a lot of these polls show a pretty big gap between joe biden and the president and i get the argument that there is the silent trump voter. but are there enough silent

trump voters to make up the deficit that we're seeing in so many of these poll. >> we're certainly going to find out in 100 days. i think if there's undecided voters out there, they're watching the news, seeing the unrest in the major cities, cities run by democrat mayor and governors where the democrat leaders continue to turned a blind eye to the violence, to the doctrine. they are not taking the side of the law and order. they've turned their back on the police. and the president is serious about law and order. he's made it clear that if the locals and the state law enforcement refuse to go in and restore order and stop violent criminals from destroying federal property, he's going to go in with a federal presence. i think that most americans are concerned about their safety, they're concerned about the safety and well-being for their children and grandchildren. they see the difference in the

mindset with respect to the rule of law between democrats and republicans and i think over the next 100 days, undecided voters are going to be focused on who is the best person to lead our country through these challenging times of unrest and challenging economy and i think they're going to go with donald trump in the very end. kristin: well, since you bring up some of these protests and unrest around the country, this week president trump sent a bunch of federal agents to cities led by democrat-run leaders, portland, seattle where they're on standby, albuquerque, new mexico is one of them and the mayor of albuquerque was on another network this morning and she talked about why she was -- why she thought in her words that politics had a hand in this. here's her response. i'd like to get your take on the other side. >> it's just because of the president's own words. so the day before he announced this, he explicitly said he was targeting progressive mayors for

the campaign and was trying to connect that to challenges with law enforcement and so given what we've seen in portland, we're very, very concerned. i don't think any mayor wants what's happening in portland to happen in their town. kristin: i said her words. clearly i meant his words, congressman. but does the mayor have a point to the extent that we're not seeing any federal agents deployed to republican-led cities. >> well, the reason they're not going to republican-led cities is because the mayors in republican-led cities have things peaceful there. the president's not targeting progressive mayors, he's targeting incompetent, weak-kneed mayors. kristin: but there has been a spike in violence in some republican-led cities like jacksonville. >> and you know, if it gets out of order in jacksonville i have no doubt that donald trump will send troops into jacksonville. we have to have law and order.

i'm all about the first amendment. i'm all about the peaceful assembly of people to protest. but when those protesters start vandalizing and destroying private property, then they become criminals and have to be treated as such and i aplow the -- applaud the president for sending in federal troops. a few have concerns about that. there shouldn't be any concern about sending in federal troops to protect private property and to protect federal profit as what we've seen in portland with the destruction of so much of the federal courthouse in portland and many of the monuments. it's about law and order the and the president takes it seriously and we've seen that joe biden in his continued statements about defunding police and pelosi and her utter disregard for the violence and destruction of private property, they're seeing a big difference in the rule of law between democrat leaders and republican leaders especially president trump. kristin: well, physica presidep

as certainly seized the mantel of the law and order president. we'll see if it sticks with voters. thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. leland: hurricane hannah is bearing down on southern texas and will make landfall in the next couple hours of, bringing heavy rain and storm surge inland. casey siegel is tracking the storm. >> reporter: the national hurricane center is saying that life threatening storm surges already occurring along portions of the texas coast and hurricane watches and warnings are already in effect, of course all up and down portions of south texas. especially around the corpus christi area as hannah gets closer and closer. to give you a sense of how large the storm is, galveston is pretty far north, not even in

the cone of uncertainty but emergency management officials say tides are four feet higher than normal. although folks knew hannah was coming, it was originally forecasted to hit as tropical depression or a weak tropical storm. but those warm waters out in the gulf of mexico helped it intensify and quickly. hannah now expected to make landfall as a category one hurricane soon. somewhere between corpus christi and brownsville. adding a whole extra layer of concern, that whole region has been hit extremely hard in recent weeks with covid-19. >> be prepared to take needed items with you, like soap and sanitizer, disinfectant, maintain at least 6 feet between you and persons that are not part of your immediate family at the shelter. >> officials in hawaii are issuing the same warning as

hurricane douglas churns towards the ey islands. douglas is expected to make landfall tonight or tomorrow, possibly on maui. the governor says shelters are open but they should be used as a last resort due to a recent spike of coronavirus there. >> i would like to remind everyone who is in quarantine that you should remain in quarantine, to the extent possible. if you need supplies, please ask a friend and others to provide and help you acquire them. >> safe to say, as if hurricanes aren't scary and potentially destructure enough, now you added in the middle of a pandemic and that takes things to a whole new level. leland. leland: changes just about everything we go through in life as 2020 presses on, casey siegel in dallas, casey, thank you. another thing that's going to look so different in 2020, the fall of 2020 will be america's

schools. lucas tomlinson large from virginia's largest school system where one county has already made up its mind what next fall will look like. hi, lucas. >> reporter: hi, leland. fairfax county public schools have a budget of $3 billion and many parents are angry, wondering why they can't afford to send their kids to school in person next month. i'll have more after the break.

kristin: well, the coronavirus continues to break records here in the united states and not in a good way, but new early coronavirus vaccine results are showing promising signs of immunity without serious side effects and they're raising hope that there could be a vaccine by the end of the year. jacqui heinrich live in what use todd be the epicenter of this all, new york city. hi, jacqui. >> reporter: hi, kristin. more than 73,000 new cases were added yesterday and that's the second highest daily total since the pandemic began. and just since last month, the seven-day average for new cases has more than doubled, alarming numbers there. states like texas and arizona are experiencing hospitalization rates at crisis levels.

in stark county, texas, a so-called panel has been established to determine which payments will respond best to treatment and which others will die, due to a strain on resources. as cases rise across the state, some areas are preparing for damage and flash flooding from hurricane hannah which could pressure hospitals and local resources. in arizona which a couple weeks ago had the most infections per capita across the country, now beginning to see a decline after governor doug doocy reversed course allowing counties and cities to enact mask mandates. in florida, city officials are taking extreme measures, miami cracking down on people who don't wear face masks with a fine. first and second offenses are $100 each. the third offense is punishable by arrest or notice to appear in court. so far, more than 100 tickets were issued this week. >> we come across people not

wearing a mask, officers are issuing a civil citation for $100 and are giving them a mask as well. >> reporter: coronavirus infectioinfections are taking ag toll on people who even have minor symptoms. 35% of people who had covid-19 were able to self treat at home but two to three weeks later they still reported they were not at their usual level of health and people between the ages of 18 to 34 years old, no underlying health conditions for them, one in five were still feeling ill weeks later. kristin. kristin: a lot of numbers there, jacqui, but you handled them well and important ones too. jacqui heinrich live in new york. thanks. leland. leland: as the back-to-school season approaches, a number of parents and school administrators are at odds with

the trump administration's push to bring students back into the classroom, a debate happening around the country. lucas tomlinson live near virginia's largest school district. >> reporter: many counties in northern virginia have said that students will no longer be going to school next month in person, not full-time, not part-time. instead, they will be learning full-time online which goes against the new cdc guidelines. one parent we spoke to is irate and says this is a political decision by the teachers union and has nothing to do with science. >> this has nothing to do with our children at all. this is using a this for a political gain in an election year which is disgusting that we put our kids' futures in jeopardy for a political decision. >> reporter: here in fairfax county, the schools have a budget of $3 billion a year. angry parents here and across

the country say zoom isn't good enough for their kids. the cdc director agrees and says the new guidelines say it's critically important to open schools for in-person learning this fall. the white house coronavirus task force says it's an open question how rapidly children under 10 spread the virus. the new guidance says young children are less likely to spread it and less likely to experience serious symptoms. the cdc says the seasonal flu remains the greatest risk to kids, not the coronavirus. dr. fauci said the science is not settled when it comes to kids and schools. >> i think we need to start off with a little humility and say we don't know all the answer toss that right now. that's for sure. studies are coming. >> reporter: right now, there's parents and teachers across the country wondering how they're going to teach their children now that many schools have gone to five days of online learning. we spoke to some parents earlier

today in fairfax county who said, mother, daughter, father, son, parents are looking at each other saying who quits whose job to get my kid back in school. we spoke to one single parent, a woman, who said she doesn't know how to get her special needs child the help he needs. leland.leland: so many parentsg to make plans for the fall. lucas, thank you. now we head west to portland where federal agents continue to face off with protesters for the 58th straight day and night. a new city possibly with violence on the way there. we'll show you when we come back. looks like they picked the wrong getaway driver. they're going to be paying for this for a long time. they will, but with accident forgiveness allstate won't raise your rates just because of an accident, even if it's your fault. cut! sonny. was that good? line! the desert never lies. isn't that what i said?

water? why?! ♪ ahhhh! incoming! ahhhahh! i'm saved! ahhh! ride? no, i'm good. i'm gonna walk. let's go! water tastes like, well, water. so we fixed it. mio kristin: protests continue to rock several major u.s. cities with federal agents in portland clashing with demonstrators outside a courthouse early this morning. christina coleman tracking it

all for us live in los angeles. >> reporter: early this morning, violent protesters used a powered chainsaw to cut into a fence at the federal courthouse in downtown portland. thousands of protesters gathered outside of the building last night. this video was posted on twitters hours ago. fires were set and fireworks were shut off. federal agents used tear gas to clear the area. local leaders are resisting help from federal agents, saying they're escalating tensions. several lawsuits have been filed to get them out of portland. president trump says federal agents are needed there because local authorities haven't stopped the violence. last night, a u.s. district court judge denied a suit by the oregon district attorney alleging excessive use of force by federal agents. the judge said the state lacked standing to sue on behalf of

protesters. a federal judge blocked seattle's law that would have prohibited police from using tear gas and other nonlethal we podges. the judge said -- weapons. the judge said the issue needs more discussion between the city and the dj. the doj said it could lead to police engaging in more use of force. louisville, kentucky, we learned that two armed groups have threatened to hold counter demonstration there's. in chicago, some of the peaceful protests against racial discrimination have turned violent. chicago's mayor said she talked to president trump about his intention to deploy federal agents to the city, she says the federal resources will be coordinated with the u.s. attorney's office. kristin. kristin: christina coleman live in los angeles. thanks. leland: the anti-government

riots come as crime is exploding in major cities around the country, including chicago. gang violence is taking over a number of cities. this is video of one of the many wild west-esque shoot youths, that's been provided by the chicago police department. you can see a number of people engaged in gang violence. one video showed a woman trying to protect her child during a shootout. we're joined by anthony napolitano, president trump is sending roughly 200 federal agents to help anti-drug and gang task forces in the estimate it seemed like a negotiation between the mayor and the president. you on the other hand have been for it from the beginning. why, sir? >> it's come to the point where i see it as we just need the help. one of the stats or one of the numbers that's absolutely outrageous is we have 117,000 gang members in the city of chicago. right now, in the last eight years, we have almost 23,000

people shot. we can't do this alone. we don't have the manpower for it. we are short police officers in the city of chicago by at least 3,000 officers. leland: is it because the cpd is under-staffed or is it because it's under-supported and their hands are tied because they can't do stop and frisk? >> those are both stirred in together. we're under-staffed because we can't keep up with the rate of attrition and because of the denouncement of police officers nationwide, we can't get people to take the job anymore. this is part of one movement that's hurting the police department and the city of chicago in general. leland: where does this go from here, sir? we see the video. it seems as though there's gangs that control various parts of chicago. the police can do an investigation of a shooting but it doesn't seem as though this stops somewhere. >> yeah, you know, a big part of this blame lands on our state's attorney. we have by far one of the worst

state's attorneys in the country. i said it a million times. leland: you're referring to kim fox. >> kim fox, she celebrates the catch and release system. i said this -- our criminals are making a fashion statement out of being on an ankle monitor. and they know her and this is the line that they used here. if you do the crime in chicago, you're not going to do the time. it's a revolving door. she doesn't prosecute anybody. she puts everybody back on the streets. it is actually destroying our of city. and it has to -- leland: a big part of the chicago tax revenue, one of the highest sales taxes in the country, is from tourists who come into the city of chicago, be it from outside of chicago or illinois or of people fly in for world class restaurants and beautiful summers on the lake. one downtown business owner is saying this about what's going to happen. >> we have the restrictions for the occupancy and that is hurting the business level but

we were working as hard as we could at the downtown location which was already hurt by the fact that many offices don't have people coming in. well, the violence is further hindered that because people won't come down if they're fearful of the situation. leland: people all of a sudden start to decide to go to nashville or memphis or other cities that don't seem to have this kind of violence problem that chicago does, is there ever a way to get those folks back? >> yeah, we have to crack down a little bit more on the crime. think of the concept right now. we are finding businesses and hurting businesses more than we're allowing people to protest in the city streets of chicago right now. we have flash mobs that use social media to meet downtown and loot the city of chicago, it happens on a weekly basis. if we don't get ahead of the crime, if we don't let the -- leland: that's the question i was going to get to. who is keeping the police from

being the police? are they scared that kim fox is going to start arresting police officers if they do their job or is it because the mayor's handcuffed them? what's the root of this problem? >> the root of this problem is -- it starts with the state's attorney's office, always the denouncement of the police in the city. the plan is denounce the police, make them not want to be the police anymore, send in the paid protesters, the antifa and socialist that's are trying to destroy the city and it hurts our city all for one reason. for november's election. make it look like the city's out-of-control, the country's out of control. that's what's happen in chicago. people better think about what's going on and vote the right way. we need to stand up to save our city. leland: based on your description, it may not seem like the city's out of control, it may actually be out of control there with at least another month left in a hot and long summer. we appreciate your time, sir. we'll have you back as it gets closer to november. >> thank you, sir. my pleasure. leland: new video of chinese

police cordoning off the shuttered u.s. consolate in chengdu, china, the latest in the tit-for-tat between the united states and china. where it could go and what u.s. military assets are in the middle, when we come back.

kristin: well, many small businesses have successfully reopened in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. it's not quite business as usual for some business owners and to talk about how the coronavirus has impacted their businesses, we have from connecticut, gilson cafe and cinema owner allen niro and we have a salon owner, chad runicheli. chad, i'm going to start with you. on monday, governor gavin newson ordered that all salons cease

operations indoors which focused salon owners like yourself to move everything outside and anyone who has ever been to a salon what a tremendous undertaking that must be. how exactly are you pulling this off, an outdoor salon in california in the middle of the summer? >> we have fans outside. we're trying to make it work. it's really hard right now. we had to move the whole salon outside, chairs, everything. kristin: i mean, how long did it take to set something like that up? are you bringing it out, moving it back in every night or leaving it there. >> we have to take it in every night and bring it -- and take it out every morning. that takes about a good 45 minutes each time. kristin: and so what has business been like since you've been forced to move outside? >> it's been slow. really slow. we can't do colors. we can't do highlights. we're unable to do -- we're only able to do haircuts.

they have to come with their hair wet. my clients luckily are very supportive. they like the idea of being outside, they feel very safe. i'm going to do whatever it tags to make money. -- takes to make money. kristin: i hear you. at least you're in california and outside. >> now we're starting to get really hot, we're going to see what we're able to do when it starts getting to 100, 102 degrees. kristin: yeah. yeah. that's got to be tough. allen, you're dealing with your own challenges. you have reopened your movie theater in connecticut but you can only open it up to so many people and you've got another issue, right. there's no new movies. >> that's correct. we've gone from 27 employees to nine employees. we show one show a night with classic movies.

luckily, connect cut i connectif the more stable states for the moment. but we haven't been able to get a full house for a while. kristin: what changes have you made to make your customers feel safe when they come in to watch a movie, those that do come? >> the staff has all been trained to wear masks, sanitizing. we have all of our tables. again, we're a cafe cinema so we're widely spread. we don't have seats, per se, next to each other. so we can distance each customer fairly easily. everything is cleaned up afterwards. again, we are down to one show a night so there's not a repetition of customers coming in right away so we're ready to go for the next night. kristin: one of the things that struck me about both of your stories is that both of your businesses were doing incredibly well earlier this year, before the coronavirus pandemic hit.

then for you, chad, you also got a double whammy, he got hit with protests. do you think you're going to be able to survive this and come back from this? >> i'm going to do whatever it takes. i'm a fighter. i'm not going to give up. i came from zero. i worked my way up to what i have and i'm not going to lose it. whatever i need to do, i'm going to do it. kristin: what about you, allen? >> just like he says, we're here for the long haul. we've gone as far as opening up a gofundme page to try and bring in revenue, to keep us through all of the hard times. but we went from full houses in march to absolutely zero in four months. so that's four months of income that just never comes back. so again, like he was saying, we're going to do what we have to try and stay open. kristin: well, i for one would love to see a movie in your cinema and i would love to get

my hair done outdoors in california. you guys are really just making the best of the situation that you have and i'm really impressed with what you've done so far. best of luck going forward. thanks so much, guys. >> thanks for having us. >> thank you. leland: take a look at the satellite and radar as hurricane hannah prepares to make landfall on the texas coast. we'll show you who's in the bull's-eye when we come back. tos your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. i wish i could shake your hand. granted. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

leland: add hurricanes to this year of 2020, we are tracking the latest developments in two hurricanes barreling toward texas and hawaii. meteorologist adam klotz in the extreme weather center with the tracks on both of these storms. hi, adam. >> hey, lee lain. land, -- leland, we're tracking two large hurricanes at this point. the first, hurricane hanna likely going to make landfall within the next hour or so. [audio difficulties] leland: we still have graphics up that we can show you. this is hurricane hanna which has gone through much of the gulf of mexico. obviously they've had to evacuate so many of the oil rigs there, making life even harder for the folks in texas that have

had to deal with this. >> leland, can you hear me now? leland: we can hear you now. we will bring you back in. we were talking about how many oil rigs had to evacuate because of the the wind and high waves in the gulf of mexico. >> 80-mile-an-hour winds. and this is going to be making landfall in an hour or so, it's going to run across south texas. currently seeing wind gusts up to 60 miles an hour in corpus christi. there's heavy rain that's a concern in the gulf of mexico. it's a concern across a large portion of south texas. you see where we see the tropical storm warnings, the hurricane warnings, all areas especially along the coast to pay attention to for the next couple hours. here's the future radar. we likely have landfall within the next couple hours. that's 3:00 p.m. central time you're looking at, perhaps making landfall around that time. the heaviest rain and the worst of this likely to the south of

where you're seeing that center of circulation. so what does that mean for actual rainfall from an area in brownsville, you could be talking about 12 to 18 inches of rain, this is a really big storm. as i throw it back to you, you mentioned hurricane douglas, this will likely pass by hawaii tomorrow afternoon. once we get through hanna we'll be paying attention to douglas. back to you. leland: we've got casey siegel down in texas watching hannah as it comes ashore. adam. thanks so much. i was talking with casey earlier. you think about hurricane douglas and listen to the hawaii governor earlier, the hawaii economy has just been decimated because of covid. so much relies on tourism. there's a lockdown there. can't really get in the islands with tourism dollars. you imagine getting hit with a hurricane, it's not even a double whammy, it's a triple whammy. kristin: this is something that local officials and leaders have been preparing for for some time

the convergence of the hurricane season and the coronavirus pandemic. you do start to think about how is this going to work if there are mass evacuations and people have to shelter together in larger quantities in some of the shelters that you often see when hurricanes hit. leland, i really like how you almost got your chance to be -- to play meteorologist with adam's audio cutting out. you covered quite a few hurricanes. so, you know, you probably would have done an okay job. leland: i had another 10 seconds in me until we got adam back. that was a good thing. news continues from new york after this. have a great weekend. usaa is made for what's next no matter what challenges life throws at you, we're always here to help with fast response and great service and it doesn't stop there we're also here to help look ahead that's why we're helping members catch up by spreading any missed
