marsha, let me talk to you first. yesterday to hear governor cuomo says they have done testing. the question is and this is what you are trying to get in this research. do you trust those numbers and these tests? >> these numbers are crucial for understanding this pandemic. there is now a wide variety of different tests coming in. they're showing up at people's doorsteps and there are different types of tests and each one have their own characteristics. we team up to ask basic questions, do these different tests give us reliable information. we decided to take a standard size of sample even people we know are infected with coronavirus or blood samples that were drawn before the outbreak going back to 2018 and before. just compare head to head and see how all the tests that are starting to become available before. do they give reliable information of a connection interpret. that's what we set out to do. >> if i am watching this at home and is it safe for me to go back to work, have i been exposed and do i have hopefully some limited or immunity, do you have any sense or when will

marsha glass and her colleagues were running dangeroulsy low on protective equipment when a fellow doctorer home. >> i opened it up and i saw boxes of goggles. >> reporter: they were ski goggles from a group called goggles for docs, that has been taken in donations from sidelined skiers and snowboarders around the world. did you ever think that you uldh personal protective equipment? >> no. i don't think anyone would have thought it would have came that far, and so fast. >> reporter: signs are popping up in ski towns everywhere. we found page rausch making a drop-off in salt lake city. >> we saw this goggles for docs. so i went through my stuff and i grabbed a pair and dropped some off. >> reporter: in the last few months, goggles for docs has delivered more than 30,000 pairs to medical workers in need. >> it's like going fishing. you come down and say whoa! what do we have? >> reporter: nathan rafferty is an organizer, volunteers at a time when ski resorts like park city are shut down. >> we estimate our industry lost close to a quarter billion dollars in revenue. >> reporter: the work t

whether you're a republican or a democrat, if you look at what senators are planning on doing, senator marshaf tennessee, they want to introduce new legislation to make it easier for companies to come back to the united states, manufacturing of tb end pharmaceuticals to the rust belt to have a new american project to get the economy back on track. when it comes to china, they have a lot on the line when it comes to the stakes. they're going to offer subsidies to countries to come back to their country, australia demanding some consequences for china sending them faulty testing whether it's for antibody testing or the virus and in february you have secretary pompeo in germany where huawei was a huge point of contention between the u.k. and the united states, now you're saying u.k. is going to drop huawei as a result of china's behavior. overall, this is backfiring on china, there lies are easily disproved a bowl and they have a lot at stake when it comes to the chinese communist party having to keep everyone in the country in the line economically and their biggest fear is if the united states

senate marsha blackburn joins us, republican of tennessee.s one of three states that could be set to reopen or partially reopen as soon as next week. >> that's right. neil: the others are georgia and south carolina. so tennessee as well. senator, how likely does that look? can you explain what will happen in your state, what will be open, what will slowly be brought back to what it was? >> well, governor lee is the one who is in charge of making this happen. but we know that he is looking forward to getting areas of the state that have not had an expansion of covid and getting industries that are able to go back to work easily and state parks for the enjoyment of our citizens, getting those open and i believe he's going to be able to do it. he's being smart and strategic and systematic about this. one of the things that has really impressed me, is i'm talking to business owners and employees every single day. people want to go back to work. they are ready to get back in a very safe way in going back to work. they want to be wearing their mask

families all over the world for the destruction and the chaos they helped cause and tonight, senator marshackburn has another idea, joining us now for reaction is that senator along with china expert gordon chang. i agree, they lied to the world. dr. fauci was being lied to by the world. >> what we know is that china -- the communist party knew that they had this virus. they knew it for 51 days and as i have talked to some of the activists who are fighting against the communist party in china, they have said it was unprecedented. they knew they had this, but to protect the party and to protect the chinese new year and a celebration, they tried to keep it quiet and then they had an outbreak. and of course they should compensate us. they should compensate these victims and these families. where they have lost family members because of their deception, because they lied, because they were not transparent, they refused the help of the cdc and the w.h.o. and they should be making compensation and of course gordon chang knows that better than anybody. he is one of our experts on this issue. >> se

do you support marsha blackburn's idea that china should forgive u.s. loans and bear some of the costs for the rest of the world? >> make sense to me. it were up to me, the whole world should send china the bill for the pandemic. this is the third pandemic to come out of china and these wet markets where they have bats and monkeys with the virus intermingled with the food supply. i think china paid big time. here's a question for 2020, who do you want to take on china? trump or joe biden? i don't think that will be a hard decision for most people. >> sean: saying the cure can't be worse than the problem. an unprecedented 2.2 trillion in relief, americans through no fault of their own, we talked about this at length, we've got to protect them. up to 4 trillion also available from the fed and loans, now they're talking about 2 trillion infrastructure. did we not learn they are not so shallow ready? >> without a different president. you didn't even get a t-shirt. this president knows shovel ready when he sees it. i think the trump strategy and policy regar

tonight, senator marsha blackburn of tennessee has another idea. have beijing way some of the u.s.hat as well. along with china expert borton chang. senator, i agree. i played dr. fauci, dr. fauci was being lied to. >> we know china, the communist party knew that they had this virus. they knew it for 51 days. and, sean, as i have talked to some of the activists who were fighting against the communist party in china, they said it was unprecedented. they knew they had this. but to protect the party and protect the chinese new year and the celebration, they try to keep it quiet and then they had an outbreak. of course, they should compensate to us. they should take some of the debt, they should compensate these victims and families. where they have lost family members. because of their deception, because they lied, because they were not transparent, they refuse the help of the cdc and the w.h.o., and they should be making compensation. of course, gordon chang knows that better than anybody. he's one of our experts on this issue. >> dr. chang? >> certainly. >> sean: i can't introduce y

so let's start there with republican marsha blackburn. >> good to see you, shannon, thank you. >> shannon: all right, you know plenty of critics of these move and they include congressman ted lieu who tweets this "your governor, tennessee does not meet the health standards for phase one train reopening. your state is not on a 14 day downward trajectory. tennessee has more covid-19 cases yesterday than two weeks ago. why are you violating the reopening standard set by at real donald trump?" senator. >> people are smart and they are going to go about this in a smart, strategic way, governor lee is doing exactly what he ought to be doing. nobody wants to separate from covid or give covid to someone else. so people are going to approach this as they should be rated very carefully. and business owners are desperately trying to work with and help their employees. and i really appreciate the attitude that everybody that has commented saying, we are the usa. we can do this. shannon, i will have to tell you, i was mic'd up and my friend chris jansen has a song being released friday from warner bro

do you support marsha blackburn's idea that china should forgive u.s. loans and bear some of the cost of what they did to us and the rest of the world? >> makes sense to me. if it were up to me, the whole world should send china a bill for the pandemic. this is the third pandemic to come out of china. they come from these wet markets where they have bats and monkeys with the virus, carrying the virus intermingle with the food supply. yeah, i'd make china pay big time. here is the question for 2020. who would you want to take on china, trump or joe biden? i don't think that it be a hard decision for most people. >> sean: senator, the president's been saying that the cure cannot be worse than the problem. $2.2 trillion in relief, americans do no part of their own, we talked about this at length, we've bailed out europe, save the world from evil constantly, up to $12 trillion also available from the fed in the loan spirit talking about $2 trillion in infrastructure. did we learn that shovel-ready y jobs are not shove shovel ready? >> obama spent $870 billi

because like the famous quote from marsha washington the two most painful days of her life when george died and thomas jefferson came and paid a condolence call because she realized that their relationship had a completely broken down. anyway, maybe not where you wanted to go, but-- >> well, it's not a book that is really about his relationship with these other leaders of the country. so i don't go into that and i understand what you're saying, there are also times where, for example, jefferson tried to persuade washington to run for a third term. so, which is a little jarring because, again, as you pointed out, he's working behind the scenes to plant some stories in newspapers that make washington look bad. now, what really concerned jefferson was that washington was so close with hamilton and that they were a team, a closer and closer team over time in pursuing their vision of what the country should be. but jefferson kept hoping that he could somehow disconnect hamilton and washington and he hoped that washington could just become a more passive kind of father figure and that jeffer

each different legislative piece is to keep china up to account, marsha blackburn is looking at movingn back to america, that's obviously something perhaps easier to do than this missouri suit, is that what you're saying? >> yes. look, there's a lot of things that the president alone can do. he understands the relationship with china to the united states economically but in terms of getting money out of some chinese entity to compensate human beings, corporations and governments in the united states because of what happened, it's nearly -- it is impossible with the law now and it will depend upon what these amendments if they're enacted provide for. judges don't like to do this because judges believe that the relationship between two countries is essentially political and not legal. maria: judge, it's great to see you. thanks so much. judge andrew napolitano there. as i mentioned tomorrow morning on this program, we will speak with the attorney general of missouri, eric schmidt, my special guest tomorrow morning. coming up, companies weathering covid-19, lockheed martin's ceo is here o

in an interview with the daily beast, congressman marsha fudge took it one step further, in a nod tohe democratic party, she asked, at some point, when do you reward your good soldiers? it was black people who turned joe biden's campaign around. and joining me now is michael harriet, senior writer for "tth root.com and tiffany cross at harvard kennedy school and author of "say it louder ." i'm going to go through -- reverse order, ladies first, start with you, tiffany. let's start with the question of does joe bide be need to have a black woman be the woman he chooses in order to win? and i'll start with you, tiffany. >> well, that's not a hard ball question. yes. let me say it louder, shameless plug, yes. listen, let me go back to february, which now seems like two years ago, but just a few months ago, when black voters resuscitated joe biden's campaign. you'll remember the media landscape had all but dismissed his campaign and called it dead. and they simply forgot as they often do that the people who shaped this democracy, particularly when it comes s s democratic politics, had no

senator marsha blackburn on this program suggested we should quote, do something about repaying the $1that we owe to china. not sure exactly what that means, but any interruption of america's debt obligations would be dramatic indeed. gerald storch, prominent in the retail industry, says quote, it would be absolute management malpractice to be overreliant on china for so many things. the supply chain has already started to move away from china and that is a major shift between the two largest economies in the world. by holding china accountable, america is exercising its economic clout. perhaps tipping the balance towards more manufacturing and more jobs in america. it is the virus, unknown just a few months ago, which has changed forever the u.s./china relationship. >>> the third hour of "varney & company" is about to begin. stuart: let's get some more detail on china's role in this virus. ashley, are we getting details of china not warning the public? what have you got? ashley: yeah. the associated press has put out a story based on e-mails and other research that chinese leader knew
