thank you for being back in jacksonville. today isannouncement consistent with all of the announcements made as a relates to our city. the collaboration between the governor and his senior team, we herea state representative today, always advocating to my office for all the things we need to do to be safe and smart as we deal with this crisis. this is an important announcement as we move toward reopening. to echo a number of things the governor said, we have to deal with facts and data and how this spreads. the science they have on young people, mortality rates, etc. i have a number of parents reaching out to me and my office , stopping me in stores, i've got three kids of my own. 15 years old. was getting ready to be in track. it would have been her second year. my oldest was going into spring football. the disruption of the schedule creates a mental strain and a disruption of routine. it's important that we let kids be kids. again, parents and coaches and local leaders, use our best judgment to do it in a way that is safe a

the agent in charge of the fbi's jacksonville office at the time was james casey.e said the kidnappers appeared to be deactivating quinn's cell phone after each of the calls they made to reid. >> somebody in the scheme was smart enough to take the battery out of the cell phone because we were i believe to do some technical capabilities to determine that that phone was not only off, but had no power to it at terner tern see ee eer. >> meaning you can't trace it? >> we can't trace it. >> while there was no pin pointing an exact address where quinn's calls were originating, technicians were tracing pings when the phone was in use. those are the electronic connections made when a phone hits a particular cell tower, and that gave investigators a general idea where quinn might have been held. fbi agent tony kravit, since retired, was selected as the lead crisis negotiator for the bureau. >> we're tracking the phone and thinking we've got some leads. >> agents felt they were making progress, but suddenly the phone was also pinging farther away. the kidnappers and quinn mi

remember a couple weeks ago, fred, when the mayor of jacksonville decide to open the jacksonville beach. quite crowded. people weren't doing social distancing, although suggested. only supposed to be more recreation aal events. and also outdoor seating at restaurants, as long as tables are six-foot apart. indoor capacity maxed at 25%. same for retailers as well. elective surgeries and golf courses also, fred, open as are tomorrow, which people are looking forward to, but still closed, fred, are the movie theaters and the spas and salons. you mentioned that the governor did meet with some orlando salon owners yesterday, and they are pleading with him to open. they say their business depends on it, say they have safety measures in place and can text people from the parking lot, tell them to come in. they won't need people to congregate inside. the governor will take that under review. also still closed are those three most populist counties in the state of florida, in the state, in the area of southern florida. that would be miami-dade, broward and palm beach county where i am, fred. they

jacksonville, one tenth the deaths.s ron desantis not get more positive coverage and education to the viewers as far as this is how we can get this done. i have no idea except to say there is an r next to his name. steve: yeah. you know, a lot of the mainstream media based in new york and, you know, governor cuomo gets glowing coverage every day for how he is handling it. but you look at -- look at the number of nursing home mistakes that new york state has made. and then you look at florida, where early on they looked at the data and they said you know what? we have got to isolate the elderly. it has not been a big a problem there as it has been in new york. so, hats off to the professionals who are doing it right down there. dr. birx said that florida absolutely had the best data when it comes to the very states around the country. before we go, i know you wanted to call out not governor cuomo but governor cuomo's brother about hypocrisy and the president regarding wearing a mask. >> well, yeah. i wrote this on twitte

i do think these flash flood watches, the i do think a few storms are going to pop across jacksonville, florida. >> thank you federal reserve chairman will be receiving been the banking committee today. >> some nfl teams have been permitted to reagain reopening the their facilities today >> it is down to the final five. tonight the winner of season 18 of the voice will be crowned during a two hour finale and you can watch that beginning at 8:00 p.m. here on nbc >> and you'll be able to watch the surfs.pean >> we'll tell you how krispy kreme wants to get in on the celebration. it has three times the cleaning power of the leading spray to dissolve kitchen grease on contact. and it's great for bathrooms! just keep pumping the power nozzle to release a continuous burst of mist and make quick work of big jobs. it even works on stainless steel. it cuts through 100% of dirt, grease and grime. available with easy-to-swap refills. to get three times the cleaning power, try clean freak from mr. clean. for adults with moderately to severely active crohn's disease, stelara® works differently. stud

. >> reporter: ufc 249 in jacksonville. vacant seat after vacant seat.ight. center staff, media and presenters had their temperatures checked at the door. the ringside tables and chairs for those that were working the fight, including for the broadcasters, they were spaced apart, as you can see, and there were no fans, no crowd noise to drown out the sound of the blows. so very different feel to this. multiple fighters admitting afterwards that they could hear former ufc champ daniel cormier announcing the fight for viewers at home, and they used his analysis to gain an advantage. and the main event, justin gaethje defeated tony ferguson by tko to gain the intervictim light weight title. they are scheduled to have events in jacksonville the next two weekends, so we'll see if they go on as planned. before i toss it back, happy mother's day, especially to you, christi paul. you're an incredible woman and it shows in those great kids of yours. they are a reflection of you. happy mother's day to my mom, jane, and my wife claire, as well, and all of the mothe

they're going to do a couple more in jacksonville this week.by steps to see if we're going to get to the bigger sports, football, basketball, baseball, hockey in this very changed world. >> but the cost to do that is massive. will the economics be worth it? >> that's going to be the big issue. the economics of parking, concessions and obviously the number of tests. there's going to be the public relation story with testing is available, you secured enough tests for the examination of the people involved, what about the people who can't get tests? as the testing continues to ramp up, i think that's a little bit easier hurdle to follow. fortunately for the teams, they've been significantly involved in contributing to the causes in their cities and their communities, a lot of the charitable-type things. there's some cover for them there. there's no doubt, there's going to be a cost to this and all of those empty seats you see at all of these stadiums, those are dollars not going into the coffers. they want to get back so they can recoup some money

they're going to have slow business at first, but we have a hotel in jacksonville on the water that ranccupancy last weekend, and the panhandle of florida the hotels are running 70%, same in myrtle beach. people are home, they want to get away. it's also helping the shopping mall because they've never been home from monday through friday the entire day, everyone seems to be tired of going to the supermarket, so they're going to the mall. we have a mall actually in ohio which the number one macy's store in the country, who knew, in ohio. so people are -- there's pent-up demand for entertainment which i think physical shopping provides some form of entertainment. right here in miami there's a beautiful shopping center called bell harbor shops, and they have the guccis -- maria: it's beautiful. i've been there. >> it's beautiful, right? and it's packed. you can only go in the stores -- maria: withdraw -- wow. >> there's little things on the floor that says stand here, stand here, and the restaurants were quite busy. they're spacing them out, but there's a lot of people out and about. i thi

i'm thinking oklahoma city or jacksonville, florida. have you thought about expanding into those places? >> well, we've worked in in what i would say, friendly s.and unfriendly environme within any unfriendlyro enent, you will find some people in leadership. for example, we work in atlanta, georgia. mayor botts has been great and supportive. i think she just gennely has concern for her constituents. e, you have a governor towho's on a planet unknowe. so, yes, there -- it is a little more difficult in those circumstances. but the bottom line is tt it is, you know, any thinking person knows in the opening of the economy or not opening of economy business. there's no reason for me to distract myself with, you know, with a shared opinion about the opening aspect of it. what is certain to me is that testing is a partnership between citizens at larged 's not bordered by states. we should all be getting tested. surveillance is a big part of it that we start to understand this virus, that would otherwise be affected by someone who tests positiv

the arizona cardinals atlanta falcons at jacksonville jaguars and miami dolphins. we're set to be a home teens for international series games. but now that's not happening. the nfl said it hopes to return to having international games in mexico and the united kingdom, but in 2021. during this pandemic we've heard countless stories of people stepping up to help those in need. one of those people using their platforms to help is worse legend and hall of famer chris smalling prom for us jason dumas house more. nba hall of famer chris mullin had decided to use his platform to help people get through this pandemic threat to an app or visit sake that allows people to video chat with celebrities mullen has pledged to connect with his fans who are dealing with the effects of covid-19 are. >>to skate. >>mullen is especially hoping to connect with frontline essential employees for heroes as he likes to call the people needs. >>new york city says >>this person is. >>moon realizes the effect that he has on his fans what they may not realize is that the charity's those moments

is he's going to have the fights island so it can like the hotel they used to isolate for that jacksonville arena they are going to try and isolate people onto an island and bring them from overseas what will work or not i've got my doubts at the moment i think the logistics of very very difficult but you know the u.f.c. they've always been the scruffy cousins if you like of the sports landscape since they were founded in 1993 and they seem to be able to find a way but at the moment we're just going to see how these 8 days roll outs and what transpires from these 3 events other d.c. think e.s.e. as far as happening behind those do you think they'll inspire other combat sports like boxing to do the same thing definitely definitely sound i think you know you've got the other major adam a organization ballots or m.m.a. in america watching it very closely and they're talking about coming back in mid july behind closed doors inside c.b.s. they're owned by c.b.s. wire come in close behind closed doors in the studio the major promoters in the u.k. in america are looking at july to come back as wel

in miami the positive is between 8% and 9% and in orlando and jacksonville it is between 3% and 3.5%. down at those way sites so we will continue to offer that. testse sent a lot of the to the different hospital systems who have requested it. sending thousands of tests as requested to each studies. do broward asked early so they have that lined up and they will work with nova to do something but we are working with the university prevalenceto do studies. clearly many more people have the antibody that have tested positive which means that the disease is more widespread than less lethalht and in terms of hospitalizations and less lethal in terms of fatalities. -- whyhave john and them don't you come answer some of these technical questions about outstanding claims. >> [inaudible] >> that is if they change their claim date, or they received one payment? >> [inaudible] unfortunately we would have to look at the individual claims. that's the first time i have heard that concern. kamil you look at the verification q, one of the largest numbers of employers not answering it over the weekend

a --riteria, only one city jacksonville, you needed to be over a certain amount. dade county, brevard, some of the bigger counties. and we have some money that can be reused -- can be used. there may be some room to do some of that stuff. because we have not seen hospitals overrun or any of that, we will not have to use that money for as much health as people thought. we had field hospitals ready in all kinds of places, the army corps called me and was like, do you need anything, but what do you do? they built a field hospital. no one is using it. miami had 45% of its icu beds were not being used. so in terms of the flatten the curve, we are in a good spot. some of this stuff can be used, the virus has dislocated a lot of parts of the economy. let's figure out if there is ways we can get it back. at the end of the day, not a matter of if but when with the salons. we want to be judicious, consult with medical folks and sure safety is first. no one is going to care more about safety and the people who own these places. it is in your interest to do it. a lot of yout

have been major protests in tampa where i'm based and there was a presence in miami florida and jacksonville and a large turnout yesterday and i think they're going to continue on today as well how would you assess the police response to the protest. while miami in particular in my personal experience in the free trade riots back in 2003 the military has it seems as if the military has trained and are the police there's kind of this there isn't a line between the 2 there were tanks in tampa last night. so you think of a police officer is somebody that's working for the community protecting and serving with the big time the teaser but last night there were tanks out in full force in in tampa and in miami. so that that's quite scary to see here in america i would think a lot of what started out as peaceful protests defending to violence we've seen looting we've seen often do you think this is the right way to get your message across. i mean it's a really complex question to answer in my personal opinion especially because i am . a white woman to be quite honest it's not really my say in the ma

without symptoms as well as finding possible plasma donors for those critically ill correspondent jacksonville girl was one of those taking the test here's how it went. everybody who is left at the channel which is not a whole lot of people think lakefront is getting to us today to see if we have the anti-bodies for the crown fires and if we do and if it turns out that we do later on we could possibly become donors because there's this whole wave of treating people with blood plasma from people who have already had the corona virus and that's been a lot of success for them so want to try that out i'm going to go get one taken which is not my favorite thing to do but we're going to cause it's all work they're great. way to turn that look like i'm up a little. bit. on the one of the of. the of the i think. the you. know the to. the right and that's it so when the results come in and if it turns out that i have somehow the con artist and didn't know it and i do have the anti-bodies then they'll contacts me and i can become a donor which would be really nice to feel like you can help people you kn

when jacksonville couple cayela and evan moody received a phone call nearly two years ago about a baby girl in need of a family, they opened their hearts and their home. >> they called and they said, we need you to come and pick her up tonight. >> reporter: the couple, already parents to four biological children, drove 90 miles to the hospital to pick up baby isla. >> she was 7 days old when we got her. >> she was absolutely beautiful. when i saw her in our car seat, like, strapped in, i felt the same way about her that i did when i saw any of my babies. >> reporter: for the moodys, fostering isla would be a journey with many ups and downs. isla was a premie and needed special care. but one thing they knew for sure, their growing love for her. >> questions are being asked, what are your desires, like, if this were to lead to adoption? i told her that she didn't really need to even ask. >> reporter: so in february, the moodys began the process of adopting isla, but then covid-19 shut down the court system. >> and we're all quarantined. and the court system that isla is in closes their d

to take place a live event in jacksonville florida the u.f.c. 249 event now that was originally supposed to be the one a pre-teen at the brooklyn between be made off and tony ferguson but just again she had to step up because a beat stuck in russia so he actually upset ferguson for the interim a lightweight title. and now hopefully just in case he will now get a face to be once he can make it back here to the u.s. after the restrictions are you know lifted but this was a very successful event there was no fans obviously in the arena empty arena all you could hear were the punches the kicks the grunts the corner men the commentators echoing through the building it was unique but it really didn't take away the effect for me watching this live it was just good to see live action for the 1st time in over 2 months or nearly 2 months so you still were able to get a sense of what was going on because of the other i've been wondering when we start watching sports without fans what's it going to be what are they going to use to fill in that. it's really it was very quiet you could tell for i thin

remaining patients, while facilities in louisiana and texas are returning to naval air station jacksonville to prepare to redeploy if necessary. the army corps of engineers continues to execute fema mission assignments with federal, state, and local partners. the court has awarded 36 contracts for temporary facilities to add more than 14,900 beds for states with critical shortages and 27 alternative care facilities are now complete. more than 46,000 national guardsmen are supporting covid-19 response efforts at the direction of governors to include testing as well as logistical support to warehousing and distribution of food and medical supplies. i had a chance yesterday to talk to a couple governors. the chairman and i had a good conversation with the state tax. it has been our third or fourth where we were able to answer questions and make sure we are prepared for what may lie ahead. , wehe situation evolves will continue to remain agile, flexible, and responsive to stay ahead of the needs of authorities across the country. from the beginning, i have made protecting our troops, civilians,
