the -- and governor ducey can explain it better than anybody. when we came in, ventilators were a very, very big deal and very hard to produce. it's -- i say, but it is largely true -- the complexity is sort of like building a car. we opened up operations all over the country to build them. and we -- there was -- hasn't been one person that needed a ventilator that didn't get it, which is amazing. and now we're helping other countries, and we're stockpiling in case some tragedy like this happens again. but this just came out on testing. because i think we are at the point or maybe we'll soon be at the point where i can say the exact same thing on testing. these numbers were just released. and this is the united states. the amount of testing and our level of testing and the quality of testing. this is just from abbott laboratories. this is -- you know what this one is, jim, it's a five-minute test. it's a great test. so it's something people like because you don't have to go through a laboratory. you don't have to send it in and send it back, and

the ducey administration today changed their minds. the arizona health department announcing today, quote, we are pleased to announce an ongoing partnership to continue providing models. the state now says they were simply trying to be understanding of all of the demands on these researchers' time. they didn't want to be a burden by asking them to continue working on this model for the state. but quote, since then, meaning since yesterday, the universities and team members have expressed a willingness to continue doing this work. yeah. yeah. who knew they were willing to continue doing this work? in the middle of the epidemic? i questions we should have asked them before we told them stand down, stop working. but now they're going to continue working on this. hooray. so that weird situation in arizona appears to be resolved today. it appears to be one of those situations that just couldn't survive in the sunlight. the ducey administration tried to make this change in the dark. enough people noticed and squawked about it, that it sort o

the sheriff he will not enforce governor doug ducey's draconian stay-at-home order.ff, thanks so much for coming on. he will not enforce this, why? thank you for having me. i want to be very clear, this is not the country that i grew up in. i never thought i would see a day were hardworking americans are criminalized for trying to make a living for supporting their family. we look through the constitution which is very clear and it's obvious to me that we have a lot of overreach which is very damaging. according to the constitution last time i checked, the law of the land, they must fairly apply to all of our citizens equally. and that's not the case out he here. and, does governor doug ducey believe she, he has a right to supersede the constitution? >> i haven't spoken with governer ducey and i'm sure the man is doing what he feels is best. we are talking about guidelines which are now being brought into law. we are literally making it a crime to try to want to earn a living and that's not something i'm going to stand for. >> tucker: why should rules that applied in

the sheriff says he will not enforce doug ducey's draconian stay-at-home order. tonight. sheriff, thank you for coming on. so you will not enforce this, why? >> first of all, tucker, thank you for having me. i want to be very clear, this is not the country that i grew up in. i never thought i would see a day where hardworking americans are criminalized for trying to make a living supporting their family. we read in the constitution, which is very clear, it's obvious to me that we have a lot of overreach, which is very damaging, and the constitution, the last time i checked, the law of the land, in order for the law to be constitutional, it would fairly apply to all of our citizens people. that is not the case outs here. so having said that, i made the statement that i amm not going o make criminals out of people that are trying to make a living, and i stand behind that. >> tucker: does doug ducey and your governor believe that he can supersede the constitution? has he said this to you? >> i have not spoken with governer ducey, i'm sure that he is doing what he fe

doug ducey has done an incredible job of the governor of arizona. people aren't going to accepted. they won't accept it, and they shouldn't accept it. we have a great country. we can't keep a close. i've had doctors say why don't we close it for a couple of years. this is the united states of america. i created with a lot of other very talented people and the people of our country the greatest economy in the history of the world. the greatest that we've ever had, the greatest employment numbers, the best numbers we've ever had, the best stock market. we had 144 days of record stock markets. and then one day they said we have to close our country. now it's time to open it up. you know what? the people of our country are warriors and i'm looking at it, i'm not saying anything is perfect. yes, will some people be affected? yes. will some people be affected badly? yes. but we have to get our country opened and we have to get it open soon. maybe i could ask doug if you would like to address that point. >> in arizona we have put the public health first. we have looked at the numbers that

we need to do it in a responsible manner and that's what the president and governer ducey have said. we can gradually reopen our society but we still have to practice social distancing and washing your hands, doing normal things so that we try to mitigate the spread and of course the people at highest risk whether it's the elderly or people with underlying health issues, they are the ones that need to probably stay at home more, make sure somebody gets them groceries or that type of thing, but we can't stay close forever. people are getting antsy in arizona and i think if we do it in a responsible way that it's a good thing. >> martha: one of the issues is the surveys and polls are showing people are very nervous about it. i know there are a lot of people dying to get out but there's people concerned about getting out and this poll from the university of maryland says that 67% would be uncomfortable going to a clothing store, 78% would be uncomfortable eating out in a restaurant. what would you say to people who are in that category in the state of arizona tonight? >> if people are u

peter ducey asked him about it. >> if you were handed a piece of intelligence that said you could savees but you would have to pull the trigger. >> i did, we killed bin laden. jesse: he lies with ease. we have seen how creepy he is with women. is it that big of a stretch to believe biden was creepy with reade and lied about it. i'm not going to convict on television. but democrats can't dismiss the allegations based on great character. he's a serial leader and creepy with women. he and his brothers and son made millions through joe biden. do you believe joe biden didn't know his family got rich all over the world when he was in office? maybe joe just doesn't remember things. but that's a whole other issue. we'll have time to deal with that another time. we shouldn't believe what most politicians say anyway. we should investigate ourselves. biden says if tara reade filed a complaint it would be filed with the senate. we asked the senate secretary and she said that the records are confidential. and the records at the university of delaware. we are not allowed to see those either. see the

"are we going to do-- are we going to explode? you take the lead, my brother." it almost looked like trump was messing with the governor of arizona. "handshake? psyche, you idiot! don't you know there's a pandemic? i can't wait to tell fauci about this one." also, what is the point of avoiding a handshake if you then wipe your hands all over the other guy's suit? i mean, at that point, you're just using him as a corona napkin. and you know trump is going to lie about this if he's asked. "the handshake went off exactly as planned. it was a perfect handshake. read the transcript." after that master class on greetings, trump and his entourage moved on to the honeywell factory,
