12:00 pm
>> dana: i love it. i was going back ours was lower tech than that. we just used a sheet and a little speaker, and we watched hamilton, but we loved it. thank you. >> old-school. >> dana: thank you for watching, everybody. i will see you on "the five," bill hemmer, will you get one? >> bill: that's a great idea. why don't we try one, we will see you at 5:00. all right, thank you, dana, i am bill hemmer on this friday, good afternoon, here's where we stand at this hour. president trump set to arrive in florida as their hurricane barrels closer to that state. going to meet with the sheriff and hold a roundtable on covid-19 as we approach the storm. florida has had a record-breaking number of covid deaths for the fourth straight day. phil keating has the story from cocoa beach in florida, but first john roberts from the north lawn at the white house. >> good afternoon to you, that
12:01 pm
the idea of a comprehensive coronavirus relief bill so-called phase four appears to be off the table right now. what the white house and republican senate are trying to work on is a smaller module to enact measure with enhanced unemployment for people as well as eviction protection for those hit hard by the coronavirus crisis. the white house chief of staff mark meadows and steve mnuchin, the secretary of the treasury says that they met with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer yesterday, they made four proposals including a one-week extension of the $600 enhanced unemployment insurance that is currently in place now and expires today in order to give more time for negotiations, but the nancy pelosi and chuck schumer rejected all of those proposals, here's what the president said earlier this afternoon. >> i told my people, the democrats do not care about the people of our country, they do not want to do what you should be doing for the people of our country. whether it is unemployment or
12:02 pm
anything else. to the democrats are playing for november 3rd, and we are playing for the good of the people. >> house speaker nancy pelosi said that it is president trump and republicans who don't care about people, because even though they proposed a one-week extension in enhanced unemployment, the ultimate goal of the white house and republicans in the senate is to reduce those enhanced payments by two-thirds. here's the speaker. >> republicans for posting, cutting the benefit to america's working families. putting $200 on the floor yesterday, $200 from $600. they resent america's working families. adding $600, which is essential to their needs. so they have offered 200. >> republicans insist that the $600 enhancement is a disincentive for people to go back to work, because some people are making more money on unemployment than they would be if they were at work. mark meadows says that he and
12:03 pm
steve mnuchin will be talking more with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer tomorrow. >> we call on capitol hill to get serious about their negotiations. the president is serious about the negotiations. there is no clear message that the american people should receive other than the fact that the democrats were willing to play politics in a critical time in our nations very dire circumstances as we deal with this pandemic. >> that meeting tomorrow will be a 9:00 and will only be mark meadows, steve mnuchin, nancy pelosi, and chuck schumer. no staffers. they are hoping that the chance to get together just the four of them might move the needle. and bill, i don't think that it's a whole lot of optimism that it will. >> bill: something has to move eventually, wright, john? florida will temporarily close, covid-19 testing sites, the hurricane approaches the southeastern coast, phil keating reporting live from cocoa beach, florida, what are you picking up
12:04 pm
on today? at afternoon. >> good afternoon, here over the by hamas and hurricane hunters who flew over the system say that it is getting better organized. at minimum probable storm, strong tropicals is targeted for miami and fort lauderdale and then by sunday morning, the eye of the storm should be here on the space coast. isaias is forecast to skirt the entire florida peninsula and mostly remain in the atlanta all the way until north carolina's outer banks last week. that's a big relief from florida, but parts of the state or under a hurricane watch. as of last night at 5:00, many say coronavirus testing sites packed up to two due to the storm threat, no more testing there until possibly tuesday. a record-breaking day for covid-19 fatalities, friday's numbers show 257 the deaths.
12:05 pm
this makes this the sixth straight day for a florida reporting fewer than 10,000 cases which is positive news. and may imply florida is starting to plateau. puerto rico's governor visited some of the damage of the tropicals because they are as well as in the dominican republic after several inches of rain, a lot of wind, and some mudslides. florida's governor addressed the state from the emergency operations center. >> it is a very fluid situation. we hope that it stays off at our shores. we need to be prepared to have impact in the state of florida. >> south floridians have begun sandbagging to protect their homes and businesses. everyone is encouraged to have a week's worth of food, water, batteries, and supplies as always during hurricane season. and just in case this hurricane wobbles a little bit more to the west and comes closer to the mainland, that's going to threaten more things cause more impact. miami-dade beaches, they are already close to the public,
12:06 pm
however obviously here it is wide open, it is sunshine, and this is probably the last day for that until this expected rainy weekend. >> bill: and you look good. isaias, had to look that up today. thank you, phil. >> the same. >> bill: we will see you soon. >> it is in the public health interest that the k-12 students get those schools back open for face-to-face learning. the isolation that the adolescents are feeling that now is associated with increase as you mention, increased drug overdose, deaths, and now increase suicides, i think it is really important. >> bill: this hearing was very interesting today, the head of the cdc, testing about the need to get students back in the classroom. several teachers unions across the country raising concerns about reopening. some are threatening to strike. margaret spellings was the education secretary to president george w. bush with us today. it's good to have you on our program here. that is secretary devos, a
12:07 pm
long explanation as to how they can do this. what do you make of the concerns you heard from the cdc director about the health of children? by not going back to school? >> well, that's exactly right. and i saw secretary devos on your program yesterday and she had a lot of great points. and that is that while there is confusion, there is a lot of variety and different circumstance all over our country in terms of the health of students and educators and also the prevalence of the vaccine, but we know that our students need to be learning actively, that learning loss is real, and that they will suffer a lifetime consequences if we don't get them back engaged as soon as possible. preferably in person. preferably in person. that's not going to be possible everywhere, but hybrid learning, part of in person, part online or all online as we will see all over the country.
12:08 pm
>> bill: reacting to the interview from yesterday, dana had to randy guard nine are on, the head of a big teachers uni union, the infrastructure they are looking at said this. >> we know that our kids need to be in school buildings, we need to make it safe. and there are ways of doing it, when secretary devos says we should do it, okay, where is your plan, betsy? where is the money for us to be able to do it, and ultimately they have not been forthcoming. >> bill: when i hear that comment, i refer back to steve scalise during that hearing today, he said that there are billions out there for schools, go ahead and use it. is that the case? >> exactly. and the eric harris act funds, they are being used for a pp, for hot spots, for devices, and there is more to come for local
12:09 pm
and state governments, god willing and the next cares package, but yes, there are resources, and they should be sent to now for this purpose. i thought it was interesting that she said yes, kids need to be learning, kids need to be doing some of it in person and local school districts are not looking for the plan, they are looking for their superintendent, there are governors and county health officials to find a way through this. >> bill: two more stories, they are anecdotal, but they happen. we had the head of schools in tennessee telling a very interesting story, because she said she expected to have positive cases in classrooms and a week ago they did. what she said was they shut down the classroom, did the contact tracing, disembarked in the area, and the school is still open today. now here in new york city to plan that they announced is if there are two positive cases will, they will shut down. so as you can see, this varies from district to district and
12:10 pm
clearly state to state. >> exactly, that's why there is a lot of confusion about this. and frankly, what i think the federal government, the cdc, the department of education could be very helpful in doing is what do you do in the eventuality of educators becoming infected, students, closing the entire school? the fifth-grade only? what period of time? on and on. so those are some of the protocols that we really need answers to out there in the real world. >> bill: "the new york times" said in an interview yesterday with some parents of an 18-year-old with autism in the bronx, and what they said, this is what struck me, they said our son has regressed by a year, our kids need in person learning. think about the challenge those parents are up against. >> absolutely. it's not just the special needs students. it's all students. and especially the poor and
12:11 pm
minority students who are frankly underserved often in our public schools anyway. so yes, we have got to get students back learning. and by the way, we taxpayers are paying for that. we are paying for our students to be educated, and that's what we expect them to do. god willing in person, but if there are places where that won't be possible. >> bill: we just have to give it a shot. margaret spelling, thank you for coming on today. it's nice to speak with you. in a moment we will talk to a parent suing the state of california on plans to reopen. as we await the president in tampa, this from earlier today and the white house. >> you do universal mail-ins with millions and millions of ballots, you will never know what the real result of an election is. it's going to be a very, very sad day for our country. >> bill: calling universal mail-in voting a disaster, real concern, campaign strategy? we will put it to chris wallace coming up. joe biden settling on a running

12:16 pm
most of it is obscene, so i can't show it to you, but we just heard the estimate cost to repair, $4,000, not to mention the broken window spread across the street, that monument, they took off the graffiti yesterday morning, and we got here today and it was back again. other buildings as well, but you are right, last night was different in several different ways. number one, the protesters policed to themselves. some black men and women defended the courthouse and cut people off of the fence. federal agents, police, state troopers were invisible, and they were not provoked. no tear gas, no pepper spray. the speakers urged the crowd to remain nonviolent. >> what we know is they are nonviolent peaceful protests that occur in portland and around then courthouse every d day, and there are no issues. the violent criminal activity that the mayor is again not telling you the truth about occurs between midnight and 5:00 a.m.
12:17 pm
>> this is the longest running protest in the u.s., so there is a fight over who is to blame. the mayor says that the fed is responsible because they provoke people to be violent. the fed says that the protests were violent before they got here and the mayor has his own people to control the riot. those who are protesting peacefully say that they are happy to get back on message. >> police reform. you know, we need -- we need opportunities in the african-american community in america, and we are trying to be that change. >> so the cleanup has begun, the city would like to get back to normal, but can't taper over the problems. july was the deadliest month in 30 years. the shootings up double over last year in july, ap analysis of the arrest records for this protest, 95% local, average age 28 and mostly white. so bill, the federal agents are still here. some off premises, but commercial service inside, they say they will be here until it

12:19 pm
>> although this case represents one of the most significant moments in st. louis' history, the question for this office was a simple one, could we prove beyond a reasonable doubt that when darren wilson shot michael brown, he committed murder or manslaughter under the missouri law? after an independent and in-depth review of the evidence, we cannot prove that he did. >> a grand jury under the previous prosecutor bob macola chose not to indict wilson, the justice department exonerating him, now we see the new county prosecutor with a five month investigation did not exonerate or move forward with charges and activists are not happy. >> he killed the man! he killed the boy in the middle of the street. nothing? >> the videotape --
12:20 pm
>> he killed him. he move the evidence, nothing? nothing? nothing? >> nothing else. >> nothing. we have dirty cops! >> roughly six years ago, the killing of mike brown, the police handling of demonstrations and the lack of an indictment resulted in widespread destruction in the st. louis area. the saying hands up don't shoot traces back to dorian johnson who was with michael brown when he was shot. backtracking his story, but the narrative stuck. >> thanks, mike. in chicago on that. some breaking news out of austin. the u.s. appeals court is just overturned the boston marathon bomber joe cars are -- death sentence. in the 2013 attack of the boston marathon that killed three and wounded more than 260 others, apparently the judge is

12:29 pm
beginning in january of this year and coming to an end when a large proportion of the american population has been vaccinated, i'm guessing sometime around june or july of next year, that's about 18 months. so i ask if you do that, they do the math. at the top of the fourth. that means we have more days ahead of us and behind us. >> bill: you see the trend in florida, arizona, texas, do you see the trend reforming like we did mid-april? >> i track every state every day and look at the data, arizona has clearly turned down. they went up a very steep hill and plateaued for a short bit and are now heading down. texas has plateaued starting to look like it is heading down. florida of yesterday was more plateau, but here's the bottom line. if there is still a very high number of cases. florida generating 9,000, 10,000

12:36 pm
week, could be decided next week. what have you learned? >> what i am hearing from top democratic sources is not to expect the announcement next week, although that is what the former vice president said at his news conference in delaware. they want to build up whatever momentum and excitement is possible going into the convention on the 17th, so i think that you are going to see the actual announcement of the vice president's running mate not next week, but the week after. the week of the tenth. >> bill: they build the drama, up to milwaukee, grabbing more attention during the summer of covid times. what is the latest on you interviewing the former vice president? will that happen? >> thank you for asking, obviously in the aftermath of my interview with the president, the president saying joe biden could not do this kind of interview, we asked last week for an interview this past

sunday with joe biden, and they said that he is not available for that sunday. that's not saying that he will not do an interview from now until election day, and we will ask every week. but you know, we will see. the interesting thing is he has not done any sunday shows since covid. that's an interesting thing. and i think that it raises a risk for the vice president. if he does not have the kind of vigorous persistent questioning that you get on any sunday show, especially i think i'm fox news sunday, i think that he runs a risk going into that first presidential debate at the end of september. you know, you have to get into game shape like you would for a sport season or anything else, and i think that if you haven't, you may be a little rusty. which is not a good thing 180 million people are watching. >> bill: you have to get in your reps, you have to do it pretty here's the president earlier today on the possibility of delaying the election, mail-in voting, watch.

>> they think they are going to send hundreds of millions of ballots around the united states and it will come out. you won't know the election results for weeks, months, may be years after, maybe we'll never know, that's my concern. >> bill: what he did was he pointed to a "washington post" article that said that the system is not built for it. how do you think the debate continues to unravel? >> well, one part of it that is not going to be debated is delaying the election. it can only be changed by law, and in a town where nobody agrees on anything, you had republican and democratic leaders in congress rushing to the cameras yesterday to say, we are going to hold the election november 3rd as scheduled. i think that it is a legitimate point that the system is not built to have tens of millions of mail-in votes. we have four or five where it is almost entirely, but that is not true around the country. so the question, i think it is a legitimate one that was asked of
12:39 pm
kayleigh mcenany, if he is so concerned, why not spend more money, for instance, cutbacks on the postal service that hurts the delivery, their backlogs there of. ways to get states to do a better job. if it is going to happen on november 3rd, why not do everything you can between now and then to fix it. >> bill: we will see you then. we'll see on sunday. looking forward to your show, you have a good lineup and two potential candidates for the vice president picked. tammy duckworth, carolyn bass out of california, maybe you chose correctly, wallace. i mean, maybe. >> we will see. you know, if one of those ends up being the picket, i'm going to take a lot of credit. i will. >> bill: and you will get it. have a great weekend, chris. >> same to you. >> no less than four different offers to democrats on capitol hill on how we can make sure that to the enhanced unemployment that is set to expire today along with eviction protection that is set to expire
12:40 pm
as well is protected. >> bill: that's the white house cheap of staff mark meadows talking about the battle between democrats and republicans, we are now learning through john roberts and others that secretary steve mnuchin will meet with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. saturday morning. i want to bring in our economic team, steve moore, adviser to president trump's 2016 campaign. austan goolsbee, chairman of executive advisors over president obama. i think the question is when, what will it look like? >> the unemployment benefits, that extra $600 a week basically expires today, but that's not the end of the world, it just means we go back to the old unemployment insurance system that we have had for 50 years and people will get the safety net and what they need. the bigger issue and i think at some point they will probably reach a compromise, but the
12:41 pm
bigger issue is what do you do about really generating growth for the economy. i think that they are far away on that. >> bill: it has you choked up, it happens every week, doesn't it, austin, you get in his head. i kid. >> people said that they wanted both of them, they did not mean both. >> bill: did they get a deal, austin? >> i don't know that they can get a deal, maybe they go for a skinny deal as they call it, but normally this close to presidential election, the two parties can agree on anything. they are trying to make political show points to establish policies that they say, we would've done this, but the other guys would not let us. so i think it's a big danger. i think that i am probably a little bit more concerned about the going back to the status quo than steve.
12:42 pm
he said we just go back to the old system, i mean, so many people lost their jobs that dad's unemployment compensation was more than 5% of the entire disposable income of the united states in this last report. i think that that would have a pretty serious blow to the macroeconomy if we just let that thing expire. >> here's the point. >> bill: i want everybody to see "the new york post" cover, when will we hit rock bottom? steve, go ahead. >> first of all, we hit it two months ago. we have had two really good jobs reports over the last couple of months. that was a terrible report, but it was linking in the past. we are looking in the future now. but where we disagree, this is a disagreement between republicans and democrats, is simply unfair and bad economics to pay people more for not working then for working. you know of a situation where 5 out of 6, almost 80% of people
12:43 pm
unemployed have decided not to take a job. and you talk to small businessmen and women around the country and they will tell you, i can't get my employees back because they are making more money unemployment. that's about policy. but i want to make this quick point. i think that donald trump would be better off instead of negotiating with nancy pelosi, because i don't think that there is anything nancy pelosi wants to do to make the economy healthy in the fall. the democrats care about winning the election. donald trump said lay out what he wants to do to make the economy strong. payroll tax cut, school vouchers, health care transparency, deregulation. the kinds of things that he ran on before and then challenge joe biden to say, i am for these things, you are for a $3 trillion spending bill. >> the deregulation thing came up in texas this week too. so he is on to it. austin, go ahead and react. >> well, look, i think what steve just said is not how the unemployment insurance system works. you have to look for a job.
12:44 pm

health data will determine whether a school can be physically open. a father of two boys says half the battle for young kids is social interaction. he is with me here along with his attorney, also the founder and ceo of the center for american liberty. i want to start with you, make your case against the governor. >> sure, the governor has decreed that 80% of the students in california are not going to be able to have in person education. this is unconstitutionally illegal for a number of perspectives. the 35 declarations in the motion for political injection shows some facts. the risk to students is virtually zero according to all scientific studies. second, the risk of transmission from students to teachers is virtually zero. third, the risk is really between teachers, most of whom are not in the target risk areas, and who can take precautions like other central workers in california and forth, many schools already took precautions for ppe distancing,
12:51 pm
teaching in shifts, eliminating risk areas and all of that and the governor simply overruled that. and finally, the impact on many students particularly minority poor and learning disabled is devastating have lifelong scars. they got almost no services in the spring, we cannot let that go on. >> bill: let me try to bring him in for a moment, and mentioning of two boys, how did distance learning go for them in the spring? >> let me tell you, one of our boys is six years old, and what is a 6-year-old realistically going to get out of distance-learning, they need the social interaction. my wife and i are afraid of the long term psychological damages that are going to be inflicted on it. social aspects are one thing, but another is just the education setback that so many students are going to suffer and there was a survey the
12:52 pm
los angeles unified school district that showed 36 percent on average on an average day of the students participated in the distance-learning, which means that nearly two-thirds are being left behind. >> bill: how many under the age of 18 have died from covid? >> i just checked the health records today, rather the california department of health, zero deaths in the state of california as of today. >> bill: you have challenge the governor on other things, beaches, churches, protests, how did you do? >> and such businesses as well. to the governor has frequently changed his position on a number of those issues in response to these lawsuits. as a result today, you can go to the beaches, some church services are allowed. outdoor protest is allowed many businesses are allowed to open before the recent spike. some are still open. we do view that as positive, and we want people to have choices in california.
12:53 pm
if they are afraid and they want to stay indoors including teachers and some students, they should have that choice, but everybody else should have their rights as well. >> bill: the rubber will meet the road very soon. it will be here before he know it. thank you for your time, try to get in touch with the governor and get his reaction as well. thanks to both of you. alisha acuna with a story she brought you last hour. speak on the last hour during "the daily briefing" i was reporting on the investigation of alleged misconduct on the ellen degeneres show. at least three staffers are accused of sexual misconduct. i incorrectly named andy lassn lassner, i was wrong, and i apologize. we will have more updates as they are available. i'm alisha acuna, we will be right back. ar. the va streamline refi lets you shortcut the refinance process.
