america's news headquarters, i'm eric sean. arthel: hello, i'm arthel neville. the white house and congressional democrats blaming each other for stalemate, both sides disagreeing on number of issues including term limit for 600-dollar unemployment benefit and funding for businesses schools and covid-19 testing, reaction now from both sides earlier today. >> for the 19th straight week over a million americans filed claims for unemployment insurance. millions of people are food insecure in our country, millions are on the verge of addiction, people need resources in order to meet the needs of their families. >> it's time to make a deal fanned we are going to be able to succeed in this is taking what started the first day of a good foundation, of productive

discussions and building upon those and until we reach an agreement and hopefully in the next couple of days. arthel: all right, more from mark meredith, he's live at the white house, hey, mark. mark: arthel, good afternoon, there's no deal yet on another stimulus package but they say these were most productive talks up an capitol hill earlier on today. democrats say they want to extend that 600-dollar enhanced federal unemployment benefit, they want this to be extended for several more months. we both from both house speaker nancy pelosi and senator chuck schumer about discussions not long ago. >> here we have this challenge and what they were saying before is we will cut your benefit, that's one of the shall we say discussions we are having. >> we are not close yet, but it was a productive discussion. now each side knows where they

are at and we are going to work very hard to come to an agreement. mark: we are still awaiting to see if the president would tweet and offer reactions to latest negotiations. the white house have long said that extending assistance could encourage some workers not to go back to work. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell was not in the room for today's talks. >> we are still a long ways apart and i don't want to suggest that a deal is imminent because it is not, but like with any deal as you make progress, i think it's important to recognize that you're making progress. mark: with election day inching closer, 94 days away the president is ready to focus on an issue that democrats hope to champion come november, healthcare, teased new healthcare plan while in florida on friday although it's unclear what this package may or may not end up including. >> we will be doing a healthcare plan. we will be doing a very inclusive healthcare plan. i will be signing it some time very soon and it might be -- it

might be sunday but it's -- it's going to be very soon. mark: we will be waiting to see if this does come out on sunday today. the white house declared federal plastic surgery for florida as it gets ready for the hurricane as it reaches off the florida coast and we will see if the president has any reaction on capitol hill. arthel: absolutely, thank you very much, mark meredith, speaking of the hurricane let's go to eric now. eric: yeah, exactly, a hurricane isaias as mark said approaching florida after battering the bahamas with strong winds and rain. powerful storm is closing in and officials no miami not taking any chances. they've closed beaches, marinas and parks ahead of the hurricane's arrival. you know, the storm is expected to trick right up the eastern sea board bringing lots of wet weather right through next week. we have live team fox news coverage for you, phil keating standing in coco beach, florida.

hey adam. adam: hey, there, eric. we are tracking the storm that at this point is setting florida coast. here is what we are looking at winds at 75 miles over an hour. that's where we will start to see this shifting closer to the florida coast likely making landfall if not along the florida coast up into the carolinas. more on that in just a minute. no surprise as we see all of the areas highlighted in red. hurricane warnings, hurricane-level winds. the closest this will come to florida coast and perhaps make landfall is going to be central florida on the east coast. so you're seeing all of the warnings stretching up the eastern half of the state of florida, otherwise on the southern and you're beginning to see outer bands of rain just now reaching south florida, miami, this is a radar from that area, so you're not going to see it until probably the next couple of hours where this begins to really pick up. this is hurricane path and you

see see the track, still plenty of track stays east of making landfall, in western side you start to make landfall, winds consistently here at 820 miles an hour. it's a category storms as it makes way to florida coast from tonight into sunday. by the time you get to monday, you're talking about running up into carolinas. now much better chance to make landfall but weaker storm fall at this time, tropical storms winds 50 to 620 miles an hour, once you make that kind of landfall it becomes rain-maker, through to boston, tuesday and wednesday, so it goes to make surf maker talking about a lot of winds there early on and then eventually rain-maker. you head far to north and carolinas and suddenly you're talking anywhere from 4 to 6-inches coming down relatively quickly and that whole streak of rain runs its way to

mid-atlantic, new york a couple of inches. eric, it's too early where exactly the rainfall will land but it's a rain maker, all the way into middle of next week, so this is going to be a long one. eric: yeah, seems like an active season, adam, thanks so much. arthel. arthel: yeah, eric, as parts of florida are under the hurricane warning, florida governor ron desantis urging those living close to the coast to follow evacuation orders if they are issued. >> know whether you're in an evacuation zone. we talk about potential storm surge. barrier islands and the like are most likely affected in coast. you may get evacuations from there. please take the time to determine what zone you're in and if you are ordered to evacuate, you know, please take it seriously and go. arthel: phil keating live in

cocoa beach with more. hey, phil. phil: the hurricane warning zone for the state of florida start in the south at boca raton, broward county line and all the way to daytona beach. here in cocoa we are in the space coast, cape canaveral, we are in the hurricane-warning zone but clearly the impacts of hurricane isaias will not be happening till tomorrow. everybody enjoying blue-sky day, people are playing in the water. technically red flag day and will remain so throughout the weekend but people aren't really going out too deep unless they have a surf board. looking down the state by the sea near lauderdale, in south florida the impact of the

hurricane is going to be tropical storm impact, maybe winds, 20 to 30 miles an hour and a couple of inches of rain. now, let's take a look at where isaias is right now. turning through the bahamas with 75-miles-per-hour winds as eventually push northwest towards florida. that should happen later today. the upside is that it looks like this hurricane will not make landfall in florida at all, just skim the state with worst wind and worst rain happening out in the ocean. however, there's a chance that the eye could shift west and that could raise the impact. >> heed your local, county emergency management. they know best. i will not get into their business. what i will say don't bet your life on what the forecast, track intensity will do. phil: at least some are preparing for more than a few inches of rain and unconcerning winds. we found hurricane shutters put up to protect windows from

flying debris and in many coastal counties there are free sandbagging locations for people to take bags to homes and businesses just in case of flooding. over in bahamas strong winds and rain have been pouring on the island nation since yesterday. not great timing at all as bahamas have seen surge in coronavirus and still has thousands of people living in tents due to last year's devastating hurricane dorian, florida's governor spoke this morning. >> this is an evolving situation. we know we will get some impact. what shape the impacts take remains to be seen. phil: and there's a live look at somebody surfing, tasty waves, enjoying. surfing is always pretty much good up here. the hometown of katie slater, world champion surfer. they will make a decision in the morning whether they tell residents in barrier islands to evacuate.

they will wait until tomorrow to determine the call. the state has sent out a bunch of sheltered kits with ppe just in case any shelters open, but at this point, shelters are not anticipated to be necessary at all. arthel: yeah, let's -- let's hope that hurricane stays out to the east there. phil keating, thank you very much. all right, eric. eric: well, arthel, as phil just noticed it is a one-two punch for florida bracing for hurricane isaias while fighting growing coronavirus cases. the state now dealing with a four-day streak of record high covid-19 deaths. all this as the u.s. is surpassing 4 and a half million covid cases so far with more than 153,000 americans who have died. alicia acuña following this with details. alicia. alicia: we will take a big picture on first day of august as john hopkins university has a new case's chart that we want to

show you. that line that you're going to see here track all u.s. cases since late january. you can see that there's a slight dip there toward the end of july right before it begins to climb again in a number of states that saw the declining cases are now watching them rise but it really all depends on where you're looking and we will get into that but, first, this is a map, it's a cdc map of the places where americans have died. the green-shaded states are reported deaths of more than 5,101 people. on friday california surpassed 9,000 cases of from covid-19 and florida more than 7,000. on friday dr. fauci testified on capitol hill that they are hopeful for a vaccine that could be approved by the end of the year. >> we are doing vaccine studies with the companies. the fda will look at the data and on a science-base decision will make the determination as

safety as efficacy and whether or not it will be approved. alicia: states in upward trend mississippi, missouri, nebraska, rhode island, tennessee, montana, alaska and hawaii also in there. this as states try to figure out what to do about the approaching school year. >> i think it's important to realize that it's in the public health best interest of k through 12 students to get back to face to face learning, there's significant health consequences of the school closure. alicia: eric, as you know, so many parents, states grappling with what to do, eric. eric: that really is the issue especially when you're a parent, alicia. first school districts that reopen already have positive case. what do they do?

alicia: this happened in greenfield indiana, the first day back to school was thursday and within hours the district was notified that a student had tested positive for coronavirus. the superintendent says the child was immediately isolated in the protocols went into motion. they tracked down where the student had been and with whom this person spent time with. the school is being disinfected and, eric, anyone who had immediate contact with this child is being told to quarantine at home for 14 days. just getting started. eric: yeah, it's going to be the challenge as schools reopen. alicia, thank you. arthel. arthel: turning to politics right now, yeah, speculation mounting on who joe biden will pick for running mate. now we are learning the presumptive democratic nominee likely to name his choice in the second week of august. jacqui heinrich live in wilmington, delaware with details. hi, jacqui. >> a lot of buzz about the double standard senator kamala

harris is facing after a member of vp vetting committee, former senator chris dodd questioned loyalty over attack she made on biden over debate. harris laughed off questions saying that's politics, seeing cheap shot to make biden incentive. some obama administration officials and even media fired back in the aftermath claiming a man would not be disqualified from consideration simply because of his own presidential ambitions and might be even be praised for having asked tough questions of the nominee. harris' allies did seek out the phone call. harris is getting support from another place, another vp contender congresswoman karen bass who is called the antikamala because she notoriously shies away from the spotlight, that shutdown attempt to be pitted against harris. >> aside from racial code, gender code, we both experienced that. i remember when she was da in san francisco and i was speaker, you know, people wondered

whether or not i would have the capacity to deal with it and i remember her being attacked because she had a specific position on the death penalty. >> that has received support from congressional democrats including speaker nancy pelosi who reportedly expressed her support to former president barack obama. meantime other contenders are still in the mix including michigan governor gretchen whitmer and points about significance of her state in the election. >> this is a competitive race. it is going to tighten up and nobody should take michigan for granted. if people write off michigan it'll be a mistake and we have to make sure that everyone stays focus. >> former national security adviser susan rice is also on that short list. biden has said he will make the choice first week in august but the announcement might come after week after in order to make big splash ahead of dnc.

arthel: president trump repeating the possibility of delaying the election suggesting americans won't be able to properly securely or safely vote. the constitution states that decision is up to congress, not the president. senator majority leader mitch mcconnell says election day will remain tuesday november 3rd but the ongoing pandemic could present problems on election day, some states election officials already say it would be impossible to count votes all that night because millions of americans expect today vote by mail since not all polling places will be open. that brings us to the postal

service which right now 94 days entering backlog in deliveries. here to break down why and what the government is doing, michelle lee, national politics reporter at the washington post. michelle, some postal workers say no policy that went into effect yesterday are causing the backlash, backlog, what are those new policies and are we sure they are what's causing the backlog? >> well, postal -- postal workers have told us that new policies changed the routes that they are supposed to take, have shortened the amount of time they have to pick up the mail from the facilities and have shut down machines early in some places in a way that makes them have to hand sort the mail even longer and so these -- and on top of that they are not allowed to have overtime pay which they say that if they do they would be able to cut down on some somf the backlogs so people in several parts of the country and scattered parts of the country have told us that they are

taking up to 4 extra days to deliver mail in some cases and that this is concerning for them especially given that we are so close to an election that would be dependent on mail-in ballots. arthel: yeah, in fact, president of the american postal workers union of western new york, lori cash, i'm actually terrify today see election season under the new procedure. so when mail-in ballots begin flooding the system, what happens then? >> you know mail-in ballots are supposed to be prioritized, they are supposed to prioritize and make sure it gets delivered on time, however, workers are telling that the backlog could get so bad that it's going to be impossible for them to actually find that mail in the piles and is this is an area of concern for especially the union heads because they want to be able to represent their workers who want

to deliver these ballots on time to voters, to voters but it feels like to them that the odds are getting stacked against them. arthel: so if the postal service is aware that there's a backlog due to new policies or limited covid staffing and hours of operation, i mean, if there's a known backlash now or backlog because there will be a backlash of known backlog what does the new postal master general do, he knows it's happening, 90 days from the election and isn't why president trump appointed him, he's a former logistics guy, he's there to improve a poorly run united states postal service? >> right, the postal service has said that these changes that they instituted recently are meant to make the postal service more financially stable, the agency has been mired in debt for about a decade and it is quite unstable and has faced a lot of problems and so the

postal service says in the long-term this would be beneficial for the agency and bring more about efficiency and make sure people get their mail on time and make sure system works a lot better and saves money but the question is, are these policies going to help soon enough to actually make those improvements in the next 90 days or even less because it takes longer to make sure the ballots get to voters on time and that's a big concern because the time is really ticking away here and the postal service when we ask them about the backlogs that are being reported in various facilities told us that they are aware that there may be temporary interruptions and that would lead to temporary before the election. arthel: why not, some say why not wait until president trump is elected for a second term?

>> that's a good question. the president, you know, has a friendship with lewis dajoy, long-time republican donor, among the top donors to president trump he actually was the lead fundraiser of the republican convention that's coming up in a couple of weeks and when the board of governors put him there, you know, they had brought him in and said that he was going to really make sure that the agency runs well and that it runs efficiently but the timing -- is a little questionable and she's successful in bringing about changes that could improve the way mail is delivered in next 30 to 60 days and that would be huge improvement but we would just have to see. arthel: fingers crossed for sure. michelle lee, thank you very much. so here is a question. will you get a ballot in the mail? the majority of americans will actually have to apply for a mail-in ballot ahead of the november election. the washington post did the

math, that's where michelle lee works. they did the math. here is how it breaks down, in 27 states including florida, georgia and pennsylvania, you need to apply but you don't need an excuse for a ballot. in 8 states including texas and new york you need an excuse beyond covid-19 to vote absentee. the applications for a ballot are automatically mailed including wisconsin, from now and election day. eric: we need to trust mail and mail-in voting to make sure it works as it should. meanwhile a lot of questions about major league baseball this season could be out just one week after officially starting this as some teams have been hit

eric: stern warning from the commissioner of major league baseball as the league sees uptick in coronavirus cases. commissioner rob manfred suggesting league could end. new infections come from one team. miami marlins. 18 players and two staff members on the team contracted the

virus. for more on bob, intercom radio sports insider and mlb insider, one of the top baseball writers in the nation. bob, do you think the season will strike out or they will stay up at bat? >> huge wait in the next new days, eric. four more positive tests this morning with the st. louis cardinals, that's 33 positive tests now over the last, you know, 7 or 8 days, so as you said, commissioner rod manferd told player's association make sure they are following protocol or we will not have a season. the most critical week of the entire season. if we have more any more outbreaks, we may not be playing past next week. eric: wow, they have taken such steps mlb it seems, 113-page manual, all of the protocols, isolation and still people being infected. there's -- you raised the issue

and others that marlins players may have broken quarantine or broken the rules when they went out to atlanta going to strip club or restaurant. do they know how the infections came into the team? >> no, major league baseball still investigating. you're not supposed to leave your hotel so even if it's just going to a coffee shop, you're not supposed to do that. so baseball is cracking down now and say do not go anywhere, guys, st. louis cardinals, some guys were playing golf, trying to investigate what happened to the other guys to see how that spread, but this thing just spreads like wild fire so they are telling the guys, hey, when you go to hotel, don't go to hotel restaurant, the bar, you're not going to a restaurant in town. you're staying put. and this was baseball's big fear any way. they can control it in safe environment in spring training but once the season start, once guys are traveling by train, plane, automobile, you got to be careful. eric: yeah, derek jeter one of

the owners to have marlins indicated in his at the same times, quote, after successful spring 2.0 we have experienced challenges. ones we went on the road they are blaming marlins, one club to be vigilant with protocols. i understand it's tough. you go out and want to blow out some steam, but this is a vicious virus. it is deadly, it could spread like wild fire. i mean, i'm even kind of frightened when i see the guys with no mask, the runners on face, the base coach has got a face covering but not the guys. >> you're right, eric. last night los angeles dodgers kind of did a new protocol for their own players telling guys you're wearing your mask on the bench. when team is at bat, there's no reason for the pitching coach to be in the dugout. when the players are on the

field, you know, pitching coach come back, the hitting coaches are in the clubhouse. if you're not playing, if you're not in lineup don't be in the dugout. sit in the stands, so they have, you know, the teams have a championship won are taken seriously perhaps most strict protocols. chicago cubs talked about that yesterday. they have yet to have a positive test and they are going to all kinds of extremes to make sure nothing happens. eric: for us fans i was so glad baseball is back. it is kind of odd, you know, when you watch it. here is what jason wrote this weekend. bizarre and fragile start for baseball saying, quote, honestly, it's spooky and when you add card board cutouts of fans, the whole thing takes on a creepy vibe that i honestly kind of enjoy. you thought it would be comforting to have baseball

back, but these games are amusingly edgy. i mean, once you get past, once you get past that, i'm enjoying the games, i really am and i guess you can even listen on the radio like the old days. >> yeah, when you watch the game, eric, or listen to radio, now i've been to four ballparks in the first week and looks very abnormal, dim of sound, crowd noise or cheering, you can listen to games on radio. eric: i'm glad baseball is back but they have to do it safely and the players have got to keep up and the teams so we will see what the commissioner does after this week. bob, always enjoy your writing, bob, and your reporting on america's past time that we love so much, bob, thank you. bob: thank you, eric.

get the tests back. we've heard stories of people waiting for 2 weeks. i mean, you go get the test, not know you have it, you can be asymptomatic and you can be a source of infection, why is this delay to you so troubling? >> thank you so much for having me on. i think that from what i understand they have made commitment yesterday on, you know, close to $250 million to accelerate the deployment of tests an several grants to company to really address exactly the point that you highlighted and i think we are, you know, making a concerted effort to really get to this increased number of tests but also have tests but can actually provide the results faster. eric: we also have an explosion around the country, actually down south, texas, florida, some of the states out west that we have seen, is this because of more tests or the positivity

rate, the positivity rate in some places actually is faster than the numbers of tests. there's dr. fauci talking about -- we don't have dr. fauci talking about it but he discussed that in the hearing. can you explain the difference between more tests and what the positivity rate is and how they -- they can be linked or not. >> sure. the tests have the ability to tell us whether they have been previously infected and they are helpful in whether to intervene, so certainly it does help with the positivity. it also helps with contact tracing to help limit further spread and so, you know, one of the key things that folks are trying to look at is really how do we accelerate the testing and the results and, you know,

that's something that, you know, the nation -- the national institute of health and congress and the government are really supporting. they made a major commitment yesterday and announcement that i captured in the news. seems like they are making several major grants to accelerate and deploy the systems, to get tests out there and better tests to report and get results as quickly as possible so we can start get ahold of these cases, you know, all over the nation. eric: yeah, meanwhile something that we all can do is wear a mask. you guys have invented what, a reusable rubber mask. tell us about that. some folks have had a backlash against masks, others, you know, wear it religious, tell us why you have done it and it's important. >> absolutely, one to have things that we have recognized from personal experiences in the hospital and colleagues' experience in the hospital,

there was a shortage and the masks that were available, many uncomfortable or causing injury in the face and one of the things could we make system that is were largely reusable, that were comfortable and could we make them in way that were scalable meaning that we could make many. we started looking at materials and actually the material we honed in on, many people recognized what silicon is in, whether they use in kitchen for baking or by medical devices so we created a mask that is majority of the masks is actually reusable but really central to that is that it is resterilizable and it can be sterilized in many different ways. it can be placed through what's called high temperature and pressure. it can be cleaned with chlorine many times and what we know that the material remains very stable and, you know, so we tested in the hospital and we asked the healthcare workers to test it, one, whether it provided a good

fit, comfortable, they could breathe comfortably and with the osha test, a spray whether the individual can scent the spray and specific flavor and the goal not to taste it and the performance was very positive. eric: could people get that silicon mask? is it on the market yet? will it be? >> absolutely. so we are actually working really hard to get et dye -- it to get it deployed and our goal to get it out to the general public and that's something that we are actively working on and we have been working with fda to get this submitted and looking at strategies to get the systems out for the general public. eric: all right, that's a silicon mask, that's interesting, looks like we will be masking for some time now. professor, we thank you for your efforts to pry to protect all of us and thank you for joining us
