todd: i'm just going to let you go. have at it. jillian: good morning, you're watching "fox & friends first" on this monday morning. a very monday, in my brain. i'm jillian mele. todd: i'm todd piro, we're both in yellow. let's get to gillian turner live at walter reed medical center. gillian also in yellow but has more information than just that. >> reporter: we try to make it work for you guys. president trump's medical team here at walter reed military hospital say that he could in fact be headed home to 1600 pennsylvania avenue as soon as today. but that is only if the upward trajectory of his symptoms that they have been reporting since yesterday continues. take a listen to his pulmonologist speaking yesterday. >> he's ambulating himself, walking around the white house medical unit without limitation or disability. our continued monitoring of his cardiac, liver and kidney function demonstrates continued

normal findings or improving findings. >> reporter: yesterday, the team here adding detail about the president's considerable drug regimen, after facing explosive criticism over the weekend for misstating the reality of the president's condition. take a listen. >> we continue to plan to use a five-day course of remdesivir. in response to transient low oxygen levels, we did initiate dexamethasone therapy and he received his first dose of that yesterday and our plan is to continue that for the time bei being. >> reporter: the president himself according to those closest to him at the white house and also on capitol hill has remained upbeat throughout his treatment for covid-19 so far. he himself in a twitter video yesterday sounded a bit reflective. >> it's been a very interesting journey. i learned a lot about covid. i learned it by really going to school. this is the real school, this isn't the let's read the book school. and i get it. and i understand it.

and it's a very interesting thing. i'm going to be letting you know about it. in the meantime, we love the usa and we love what's happening. >> reporter: he continues working here yesterday. he got a briefing from his national security advisor in the late afternoon. he then surprised his supporters, gathered along the road outside the hospital, with a presidential drive-by, a wave and a numbs up to show his appreciation. as with most things president trump does, the movement did generate instant criticism from reporters and pundits, immediately slammed limb for exposing secret service officers who were in the vehicle with him for exposing them to coronavirus but the white house insists appropriate precautions were taken in the execution of this move and to protect the president and all those supporting him including p pe. for as long as president trump is resting and recuperating here at walter reed medical center,

the vice president's taken the reins on the campaign trail. he will host a rally in person later this week, a lot of folks saying they believe the vice president should be in quarantine due to his exposure, his indoor exposure to president trump over the last 10 days but he is moving forward nevertheless. jillian and todd. todd: it's an interesting dynamic that we will be monitoring. gillian turner, thank you very much. jillian: fox news contributor tammy bruce says the media blaming president trump for his coronavirus diagnosis is a slap to the face for millions of americans who are fighting the virus. take a listen. >> if they're going to mock him and he's at fault, so are the 7 million americans who are infected also at fault. governor northam of virginia, the a master of the lockdowns, masked 24/7, he and his wife are infected. so are they at fault? where is this? if we really want a solution it's about immunity, about taking care of ourselves and

it's this kind of mocking, it is an exposure for the american people of not just the cynicism of the left but of the dead heart of the left and the malevolence of them and the media's played that role and we will not forget. todd: chris christie, kelley ann conway have also tested positive for covid-19. republican senators plan to move forward on confirmation hearings despite several testing positive for covid-19. jillian: ashley strohmier joins us live as the supreme court begins its new term today. >> reporter: this is all amid the president, the first lady plus a handful of republican senators coming down with covid-19 in less than a week, in a rush to get president trump's nominee, amy coney barrett confirmed, these three sense tested positive for the virus as well. republicans want to push the nomination through before the november third election, chuck schumer saying the hearing shouldn't continue right now.

listen. >> mitch mcconnell seems to be jamming through the hearings on amy coney barrett even though three senators have covid, even though he has said it's not safe for the senate to meet in session, but it's okay to have the hearings. it makes no sense. >> reporter: so schumer said that sunday. on saturday, mitch mcconnell saying, quote, since may the judiciary committee has opt prated through a hybrid method that has some senators appearing physically at hearings while others have participated virtually. the committee utilized the format successfully for many months while protecting the health and safety of all involved. some democratic senators like amy klobuchar say there should be a covid package first before a confirmation of a supreme court justice. senator lindsey graham said they're moving on regardless. >> the virus is serious. but we have to move on as a nation. we're going to have a hearing

for amy barrett, the nominee to the supreme court. it will be done safely. but i've got a job to do and i'm pressing on. >> reporter: this ahead of some big cases to keep an eye on out of the supreme court, a few being the fate of obamacare, religious rights in lgbt discrimination and the mueller grand jury material, just to name a few. the supreme court agreed to consider voting rules in arizona. as it it stands right now it prohibits third parties from turning in early voting ballots. jillian: ashley, thank you. todd: today the body of a fallen officer will be escorted home in south carolina. he was with the myrtle beach police department for nearly five years, he was also a volunteer firefighter. the department posting this video of him smiling while listening to you music in his patrol car saying it perfectly shows his personality. he was shot and killed responding to a domestic violence call on saturday. another officer was hurt but will be okay. jillian: the second police officer shot during protests in

louisville is released in the hospital. he was shot in the abbow men on the first -- abdomen in the first night of unrest following the decision in the breonna taylor case. the other officer returned to work. a 26-year-old man is facing charges connected to the jury. an activist says a second grand juror wants to speak out over concerns about the proceedings. todd: efforts are under way to promote safe and security voting. jurisdictions are offering pop-up, drive-through voting, like drive-through covid-19 testing, arizona is one of the states queuing the measure during the pandemic, allowing voters to cast their ballot while remaining socially distant. jillian: week four of the nfl full of upsets and big plays. watch this. >> mayfield on a fake, flips it back and he gets away, now they're -- odell beckham junior

all the way! touchdown! jillian: the cleveland browns holding off the dallas cowboys in a shootout, they win 49-38. tom brady having his best game as a buccaneer, huge second half. he threw for five touchdown as tampa beats the chargers. number one overall pick joe borough picking up his first nfl win. and philadelphia eagles finally getting their first win of the season, rallying in the fourth quarter to beat the 49ers, 25-20 of. todd: i'm just thinking, i wonder if the giants can get players like odell beckham, junior. his replacement got into a fight at the end of my giants game. so we're leading the league in fights. firefighters air lifted to safety, the dramatic rescue in california caught on camera. jillian: union. time on--crunch time on capitol

hill. congressman michael burgess says judge barrett is a wise choice. he joins us with that, next. student loans don't have to take over for the rest of your life. with sofi it's possible to get them paid off and start new. ♪

when i refinanced with sofi, that allowed me to pay off aggressively and save without breaking my back or breaking the bank. ♪ todd: welcome back. president trump urging congress to pass a new coronavirus stimulus deal as he remains in the hospital fighting covid-19. jillian: joining us now with progress on the talks, texas congressman michael burgess. thank you for being here. we appreciate it. let's talk about this for a second. the president as he is in walter reed is getting work done and tweeting. he tweeted this, our great usa wants and a needs stimulus, work together, get it done, thank you. sir, where do we stand on this and do you think it gets done? >> speaker pelosi has it within her power to have this done on friday, before congress left

town. so it is entirely possible but it is up to the speaker. she is the one who has been the obstacle. there could have been a standalone airline bill that could have been done friday afternoon. people were ready to do that. that's what i was hearing from the floor staff. and then for whatever reason, she decided at the last minute not to bring it up. so it's unfortunate because i know a lot of people are waiting to see what's going to happen but right now the difficulty is with the speaker of the house. todd: put your doctor hat on for a moment. as a doctor watching from afar, obviously you're not treating the president, that needs to be noted. what is your reaction to how the president appears to be doing? >> well, from everything i can see, from the released videos, from him being out in the motorcade last night, he appears to be doing extremely well but make no mistake about it, this is a serious illness and the president is taking it very

seriously, as are his medical team. the medical team seems to be doing an excellent job, so good for them. we need the president to be better. country needs the president to be better. and we wish him back on the job as soon as possible. jillian: absolutely. let's talk about mitch mcconnell for a second. he says the confirmation hearings of amy coney barrett will go on as scheduled while of course as you know, you've heard a lot of this over the last few days, democrats are pushing for a delay. how do you see this happening? >> i think the hearings will go on. we've seen a number of hearings that have gone on under difficult circumstances this past eight months, so i don't think they should be any surprise to anyone. if the hearings go on partially in person, partially remotely, there's technology that is available to do that. let's remember too, at the end of the day the hearings are not

absolutely necessary. what's necessary is that the full senate have a vote and confirm or not the president's appointment. todd: finally, congressman, i don't know if you've heard but there's an election coming up in less than a month, democracy 2020, beto o'rourke saying texas is biden's to lose. do you a agree with that? >> no, that's why we don't have senator beto today. his ability to understand and predict. look, everything i see, this is trump country and i don't see that changing. a lot of concern, of course, on the ground this weekend for the health of our president but that's just it. they want him to get better. they want to see him back on the job. extremely pleased to see him out when he got out in the brief motorcade. i thought that just shows how caring this president is. he heard there were all those people out there that were waiting and waiting and waiting

and he wanted to go and acknowledge them. so what a great maneuver and at the same time show people that he is indeed strong and he'll be back on the job very soon. jillian: real quick, before we let you go, one of the latest bombs showing that the president is in the lead in texas. we can pull this up. he is at 50% there, as compared to joe biden's 46%. this is from a u-mamass poll. are you surprised the number's that close at this point? >> no, because those polls always over-sample democrats. the president is going to do extremely well in texas. we're going to work on the ground that make certain that he does, make certain that the trump voters do get out and do vote. but make no mistake about it, there's an enormous amount of enthusiasm on the part of the trump voter to get this election done, get that vote recorded and they're anxious to see their president reelected.

todd: congressman, doctor, multifaceted michael burgess, we appreciate your time as always. >> thank you. jillian: it is just about 18 minutes until the top -- after the hour. the president may be off the trail as he battles covid-19, but his campaign is full speed ahead. todd: trump 2020 advisory board member jason meister explains operation maga, next. ♪ - [narrator] welcome to intelligent, indoor grilling

todd: president trump launching operation maga, keeping the campaign's momentum up while he recovers. trump 2020 advisory board member jason meister joins me live with more. jason, it's always a pleasure to have you. let's pop up on the screen for

the viewer at home what operation maga looks like. the question for you, jason, is this going to work? >> there's no question it's going to work. we're going to go full steam ahead, the president's recovering from the coronavirus but i think it's really important for your viewers to understand that what's happened has really radically changed -- the president's base has been enormously excited about the president's recovery and the enthusiasm gap between trump and biden has widened much further than anyone could have ever imagined. if you think about it, when the president gets back to the white house and gives a speech that he's recovered fully from the coronavirus, that came from china, he's going to talk about the fact that he's not only defeated the virus but he defeated obama's failed attempt to overthrow the will of the american people, the media's attempt to overthrow the will of the american people, the clinton dindynasty, isis, their regime.

i think the president will become somewhat invincible from the voters' eyes and i think it ill will have ane enormous impact. todd: this is the average polling in florida, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, north carolina and arizona, the president is not winning in any of of them. how worried are you that with less than a month to go before election day that time is running out? >> todd, i'm not worried at all. those polls are heavily democrat sampled. i think you have to go back to 2016 and look at the polls, look at what they said, hillary clinton was up by 11, 12 points within 29 days of the election. we're at the same point now. i think the president -- this is trump country. i think the president's going to win. i think he's going to win big. todd: a record 3.2 million americans have already cast early ballots in 21 states with democrats out-voting republicans. will election day tell a different story?

>> no question. i think it's very obvious that republicans realize that mail-in voting, there's so much fraud that they're afraid that their vote won't count. i think they're going to come out in droves on election day and vote in-person for their president. i think you're going to see th that. they'll come out in massive droves. todd: jason meister, we had a little problem with your shot there but i think we got the information we needed. we appreciate your time as always. jillian: it is 24 minutes after the hour. a push to end any secrecy around the russia probe. >> there are definitely smoking guns. that information definitely needs to be made available to the american public. jillian: congressman devin nunes' call to action and demand for transparency, plus the president taking a ride to thank supporters outside walter reed and he continues to fight covid-19. dr. nicole saphier joins us on the president's latest treatment

plan, next.

it's been a very interesting journey. i learned a lot about covid. i learned it by really going to school. this is the real school. this isn't the let's read the book school. and i get it. and i understand it. and it's a very interesting thing and i'm going to be letting you know about it. in the meantime, we love the usa

and we love what's happening. todd: president trump giving an update to the nation while he is being treated for covid-19 at walter reed medical center. jillian: the president could return to the white house as early as today. that's according to the doctors anyway. as they continue to tout his progress. >> he's walking around the white house medical unit without limitation or disability. our continued monitoring of his cardiac, liver and kidney function demonstrates continued normal findings or improving findings. todd: the president surprising supporters outside walter reed with a motorcade, you see him right there, while wearing a mask. jillian: what progress does the president have to make before he's able to be released. fox news medical contributor dr. nicole saphier joins me live, also wearing yellow. i keep saying that. good to see you this morning. thanks for being here. >> good morning, jillian. happy to be with you.

jillian: you and i were talking about this yesterday. the latest information released from the news conference was the president was given dexamethasone, a tear road, after -- a steroid, after his oxygen levels declined a little bit. tell us what you know about this drug and why you think fair giving it to him. important to note you're not treating this president. >> of course i'm not treating the president. as we know, dexamethasone has shown in multiple studies now to improve the outcomes with people with covid-19, specifically those who are requiring oxygen therapy, whether via face mask or on the ventilator. they have said through those updates that the president has had about two dips of decreationed oxygen -- decreased oxygen saturation which his levels went under 95%, i think they said 93% one of the times. he did receive supplemental oxygen, at least on the first day, friday at the white house. they weren't clear whether he received oxygen once he was at the hospital or not. that being said, i think the

theme here for the president has been out of abundance of caution, he is the president of the united states, they're watching him very closely so they decided to start him on dexamethasone on saturday. whether they're continuing dexamethasone, we still don't know. but for the president and really anybody, what we're looking for to send them home are 48 hours without using oxygen and without having a fever. now, we know the president hadn't had a fever since friday, which is what they had told us. and then they also of, again, we know he had oxygen on friday. it's unclear whether or not he had oxygen saturday. but thee considerat theoreticale did have oxygen saturday, if he hasn't had it since then he's approaching the 48 hour mark which is why they're having the conversation about potentially sending him back to the white house. jillian: that being said about potentially sending him back to the white house, there's talk about the fact that he's on a five day dose of remdesivir and some people argue that perhaps during the course of those five days he should stay where he is, at walter reed medical center.

what do you think about that? >> well, let's be honest, jillian. first of all, the president going back to the white house is not like you or i leaving the hospital and going back home. the president has 24/7 medical care and so he has people monitoring him. he was already given treatment. he was already given oxygen at the white house. so as long as he is able to be closely monitored, i think it's okay. being on remdesivir itself doesn't necessitate being in the hospital. actually, people are taking it outpatient in clinical trials and also in treatment. but that being said, if he's able to perform his work functions, if he's able to continue on, whether he's at walter reed or back at the white house, it's really a flip of the coin to me. if he's demonstrating need for oxygenation, if he spikes a fever again, if he is having a bump in any of his blood work, then of course i'd like to see him at walter reed. but if it's just a matter of taking a certain medication, i think it doesn't matter where he takes it from. jillian: interesting.

what do you see when you look at the videos, the couple videos that he's released. he looks to be in good spirits. you're the doctor. when you look at these videos, you hear his speech, not hearing a ton of shortness of breath in my opinion, not a doctor, but what are you seeing? >> i mean, we can all speculate all we want. i think people -- the misinformation train has certainly left the station when it came to evaluating the president during these speeches. to me, i actually really appreciate him getting in front of the camera. i think transparency is very important. he hasn't seemed out of breath to me. he seems irritated that he has to address this situation. i would be too. it's a frustrating situation. i think it's okay, going out and driving around and waving to his fans. he's getting a lot of flak for that. with that being said, there's nothing routine about the president of the united states and by the way, being on dexamethasone can actually give you even more energy than you

would at baseline. it's not that surprising to me that he decided to do that. jillian: okay, dr. nicole saphier. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. todd: president trump getting a national security briefing from the walter reed medical center, that briefing was held by phone and revealed no foreign adversaries are trying to take advantage of the president's health. dan hoffman joined us earlier on what they're looking for. >> the interest is determining the speed with with which the united states could respond to a crisis. i think that's the key for them. that's why it's really important that the president is receiving regular national security briefings, that he's on top of defending our national security interest in spite of the fact that he's quarantined. todd: the u.s. has been watching these four countries during the president's hospital stay. congressman devin nunes demanding more russia probe documents be declassified before election day. nunes telling maria bartiromo voters need to know the full extent of the fbi's misconduct. >> the documents that are

underlying that we now have seen, i've only seen a few of those. they're definitely smoking guns. that information definitely needs to be made available to the american public. and from what i understand, there's even more underlying evidence that backs up what director ratcliffe put out. todd: it comes as the senate judiciary committee postpones testimony from andrew mccabe after the former fbi deputy director raised covid health concerns. all right, watch this, a dramatic rescue caught on camera. four injured national guard members air-lifted to safety after assisting in the wildfire fight in california. the group found themselves trapped on a mountainside while battling the bear fire. their only way out was up. the men were treated for leg injuries and heat exhaustion. they have all been released from the hospital. jillian: a sign of relief, some evacuation orders are lifted as firefighters get a handle on the glass fire in california.

residents can return home in sonoma and napa counties. the wildfire has destroyed nearly 65,000 acres. meteorologist adam klotz joins us with more on the weather conditions that firefighters continue to face. it's been brutal, adam. >> it really has been brutal. the good news as you're saying, things are beginning to improve ayou cross portions of california. there's a lot of wildfires out there, 66 of 100 acres or greater. most of those are in california or up and down the west coast, some more into the central western states and that's going to be the case for the rest of the day. pretty much nonstop over the last six weeks or so, we've seen at least some sort of red flag warnings up and down the california coast. not the case today. our real concern is going to be through portions of colorado and a little farther towards the east. that's where the air is drier, that's where it's warm earn. things improve along the west coast. you see temperatures a little cooler for your forecasted highs in some of these cases into the 70s or so. certainly a little bit more hugh

humidity in the air. it's still warm, temperatures getting back up into the 80s. the other weather story, we're moving into october and in some cases it's feeling like winter. in front of the warm patch, these are the current temperatures outside right now, 38 degrees in chicago. we have freeze warnings across a big stretch, michigan, indiana, the chicagoland area, wisconsin, stretching towards st. louis. folks waking up in temperatures down around freezing this morning. feeling a little bit more like winter. it's coming. jillian: get those plants inside. geez. thanks, adam. todd: klotz, thank you. another lockdown could be coming to parts of new york city. mayor bill de blasio's plan to shut down certain schools and businesses. >> going into crowds unmasked and all the rest was sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen. jillian: house speaker tha nany pelosi's reaction to the

president's diagnosis sparking backlash. the demand for an apology, next. ♪ too late now to say sorry. ♪

jillian: good morning many welcome back. president trump still in walter reed, being treated for covid-19 and he could be released as early as today. todd: cheryl casone from our sister network fox business joins us live with how his diagnosis is impacting the market. cheryl: good morning. taking a look at futures, the dow is up about 171 points, s&p looking higher by 20. nasdaq up by more than 100, those tech heavy stocks really need to recover today. investors are monitoring any news about the president's health after his coronavirus diagnosis as well as stimulus talks in washington which seemed to make some progress on friday. the market is looking ahead to november and things are stable. >> first there was a little bit of shock, things were shaken up.

as you said, we got more information, the market calmed down. cheryl: so far, likes like we've a -- looks like a positive start to the markets today. todd: things seem to be baked into the market so much. we'll see. meantime, michigan governor making more headlines when its come to covid. cheryl: michigan's supreme court ruled against governor gretchen whitmer's emergency power, saying she lacks the power to extend states of emergency related to the coronavirus pandemic and she responded. >> the supreme court in michigan undermined my emergency rule. we saved thousands of lives and the supreme court on a slim majority republican vote undermined that effort. cheryl: the ruling was a 4-3 majority opinion. jillian: with a lot of -- do a lot of people fear more covid lockdowns and that's becoming more the reality for some areas at least in ne new york city.

cheryl: this is something else. new york city mayor bill de blasio is moving to lock down nine zip codes because of an uptick in coronavirus cases in those zip codes. >> so the plan is to rewind in these nine zip codes, to ensure that nonessential businesses are not open. we will be moving to close schools as well. cheryl: yeah, those zip codes are located in the burroughs of brooklyn and queens where positive cases are 3% or higher and they have been for seven straight days, as he said nonessential businesses in the zip codes will be shut down wednesday, public and private schools will be closed so in-person learning, indoor, outdoor restaurant service suspended. the state has to approve the mayor's plan. so there's another step to all of this so we'll see. jillian: keep us updated. thank you. todd: the nypd releasing video of a man suspected of stabbing and killing a man on a subway platform. police say the suspect stabbed a 22-year-old several times after

getting in an argument in lower manhattan. the new york daily news reporting a man at the station claiming to be the victim's cousin was brought in for questioning. there have been no arrests. jillian: portland police arrest a man accused of shattering the window of a patrol car and pepper spraying an officer inside. police collected window breaking tools, pepper spray and a laser pointer inside the man's car. he faces charges including assaulting a public safety officer. todd: time now, 44 minutes after the hour. a tremendous show of support along fifth avenue for president trump. the online reaction to that strong showing. jillian: first, let's check in with steve doocy to see what's coming up on "fox & friends." >> hello. good morning to you on this monday morning. coming up in 15 minutes, the president's doctors say he could go back to the white house maybe later today, if his condition continues to improve. we're going to get the latest from white house press secretary

kayleigh mcenany, she will be joining us from the white house. how is his re-election campaign adjusting now that he is sidelined, we're going to hear from trump 2020 senior advisor mercedes schlapp and david bossy. we are one week out from the confirmation hearings start for supreme court nominee judge amy coney barrett and despite objections from some democrats, senator marsha blackburn says no reason to delay the nomination or the hearing. she's going to join us live with that. also on deck, dr. oz, charles payne and dan bongino and you. put down that remote. "fox & friends first" returns in a couple and we'll see in 14 and-a-half minutes.

>> this is tragic. it's very sad. but it also is something that, again, going into crowds unmasked and all the rest was sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen. todd: nancy pelosi offering that response to the president contracting covid-19. jillian: and now one congressman calling her out, demanding the house speaker apologize. todd: carley shimkus here with his message. carley. carley: on friday, after news broke that the president contracted covid-19, house speaker nancy pelosi said she is praying for him, also suggested he should have taken extra precaution toss to protect himself from the virus. some republican lawmakers are accusing her of victim blaming. jim banks wrote pelosi a letter saying i request an apology for insinuating that those suffering from the illness are some diss how at fault for the pain, i ask that you not resort to victim

blaming during this difficult time. kevin mccarthy took aim at speaker pelosi on fox news yesterday. take a look. >> he is sitting here, trying to work with this speaker to get a covid relief package together and these are the comments she makes? this is uncalled for. other nations are watching america. this is the one time we could unite together. carley: and on that front, also on sunday pelosi said that lawmakers are making progress on that coronavirus relief bill. more to come on that front. jillian: absolutely. people from all across the country and world sharing their support for president trump and their well wish as he battles covid-19, that includes a cara van of a lot of vehicles. carley: yeah, about 100 vehicles filled with trump supporters came to new york city and held a rally outside trump tower. they called themselves the long island loud majority instead of silent majority. the president's supporters cheered him on in front of

walter reed medical center and president trump posted a tweet thanking them, saying i really appreciate the fans and supporters outside of the hospital. the fact is, they really love our country and are seeing how we are making it greater than ever before. it's rare to see trump flags flying in the big apple, guys, but yesterday they certainly were. todd: meantime, carley, there's big news that shook the nfl this weekend. carley: yeah. that's right. the coronavirus isn't just affecting the white house, also continues to affect the world of sports with cam newton announcing he tested positive for covid-19 and he broke his silence on that diagnosis on instagram, saying i never will question god's reasoning, just will always respond with yes, lord. i appreciate all the love, support, well-wishes. i will take this time to get healthy and self reflect on the other amazing things that i should be grateful for. amazingly, the patriots said that none of the other players on the team tested positive for covid-19. so that game that was postponed

because of his positive diagnosis against the chiefs is going to take place tonight, guys, in kansas city. todd: we were looking forward to that matchup, newton versus mahomes. that will not be happening although the game will be happening. carley, thank you. jillian: it is eight minutes until the top of the hour. today is made in america today, one of part of president trump's push to recognize innovators who made our country great. todd: the owner of a cut tom steel manufacturer in alabama who said his business got a big boost joins us next. ♪

traditionally a lot faster. and then, also, just that -- i love that president trump, when i was there at the white house last year, he signed a accommodation or an executive order that had -- let's see president trump passed executive order that made claims made in america within the steel industry to 95%. and the products that are made through redline steel are 100 percent made in america. todd: you are a veteran. we mentioned that in the open. we want to thank you for your service. jillian asked but made in america sort of generally. i want to know in your heart what does made in america mean to you, collin? >> so, you know, just being a veteran, serving almost three tours in iraq, afghanistan, and egypt, for me, when i go in to any business that no matter if it's manufacturing or they are

providing support, customer support, not outsourcing, it means that we're providing jobs, stabilizing the economy. and doing something -- traditionally it's putting people over profit because it's becoming cheaper and cheaper for business owners to outsource. and for me hearing we do is proudly right here. we don't want to subjobs out not even to other places in the united states i would love to control that right here and great for business plan where we can scale rapidly even if it is a little bit more expensive. jillian: absolutely. as we take a quick look here at the initiative from the president's pledge to american workers that includes 452 american companies and organizations that have committed. $16.3 million in education and training opportunities pledged, which is just a huge amount and you are one of the faces that we see who this is helping every single day. collin wayne, thank you for joining us with your story and service.
