our investigation into december's terrorist attack into pensacola continues. there are limits on what i can say today but this is an important moment in an important case. it is important because of what accessing the evidence of this killer's phone allows us to do to protect the american people. in just a short time we finally accessed the evidence we and our partners have already put to good use. among other steps we have taken you heard the attorney general describe the recent counterterrorism operation. we are targeting one of the overseas operatives that alshamrani associated with while here in the united states. it is also important because it underlines how serious our fight against terrorism is and how vital it is for the fbi to maintain its unflagging vigilance against the threat. the evidence we have been able to develop from the killer's devices show the pensacola attack was actually the brutal culmination of years of planning and preparation by a long time a qap associate. it shows alshamrani radicalized net after training here, but as far back as

show investigators clamp down on texas air base shooting and provide new insight into last year's pensacola naval base attack and they're linking both of these incidents to terrorism don't go anywhere americans were starts right now. floodwaters in michigan last week and ended up maine galing with toxic chemicals from a dow chemical plant i have fair and cousins from drill our magazine to talk about it this is pretty disturbing article i mean if you're a resident or a farmer around that plant you're in big trouble right now but i'll tell you the take on it was it was so odd to me the take on it was well the federal government's responsible no the federal government's not responsible for what happened here they've allowed the infrastructure to fall apart and they've allowed alchemical to do everything they wanted to do with their toxins in that middle america that nobody to blame but them i really don't see anybody to blame but no right and this is a you know we're suddenly dealing with this issue but these were failures that were set up for decades. as you mentioned the infrastructure the s

we are different state, we are not the same from miami to pensacola. have different population centers, different cultural aspects and things like that so i think he's a great job, i look forward to working with him in the president going forward. there is a way to balance precautions and safety needs of the people of florida and the need to get our economy going again, protecting jobs, bringing jobs back equals saving livelihoods and we can do both of these things which i have a family, it's important to keep everybody safe but as a small business owner we've got to begin bringing jobs back, we can't understate the importance of having jobs and working. rob: the cases and deaths compared to florida, 45,000 compared to new york, 347, 23,000 deaths in new jersey, michigan, florida doing best of all, talk about nursing homes, the big story coming up in new york is how governor cuomo grossly mishandled the nursing home situation. governor desantis in florida knew what to do it had a better perspective on this. what is he doing? >> he had a plan, when you

they motivated and inspired and likely directed the attack in pensacola.ed app that the attacker had, we know that every single day, he was in contact with aqap leadership. he was actually in contact with them the night before he actually conducted the mission, and this is important. we got to recognize that they have never given up on harming the united states post-9/11 and they're still about that. eastern africa wants to come to the united states with airplanes and blow americans up and that's the reality of it. we still have al qaeda networks in afghanistan and just across-the-board erin pakistan is who? the al qaeda leadership. if we pull completely out of afghanistan our counterterrorism forces there is no doubt they will be back in strength in afghanistan plotting to reassure tack the united states so these are wakeup calls. we've got the fbi all over it. that's good news and the united states military has got to crack down on getting people coming to the united states for training purposes that's for sure. brian: right i'm sure the fbi is going to

yesterday, i was in pensacola to roll out a new test site. as we do phase one, we believe we need to be testing even more. we have been doing robust testing. we have 20,000 results back yesterday. we have been consistently in the 15,000 a day. part of it is we have these drive-through sites in different parts of the state and capacity exceeds demand in many parts of the state. we have had a good thing but looking at yesterday's test results, there were 723 new florida cases out of 19,000 total test results. that is a positivity rate of 4.1%. over the last 10 days, the positivity rate in the state of florida has been between 6.1% and 4.1%. i think the national average is between 15% and 20%. new jersey, they are 40% of everybody who takes a test, tests positive. in florida we are about 95% negative rate for testtakers. orange county yesterday, they had 18 new cases, but that was out of 1760 tests. the positivity rate was 1%. if you look over the last two weeks, they have been, usually in the 1% or 2% range -- one day was 4%. one day of 4% whic

the news of the past couple days about the shooting in pensacola with the terrorist and his ties to al arabian peninsula does provide the remainder exactly as you suggest that al qaeda is not dead. i think we are nearing a point of complacency in this country about the threat from radical terrorism and it's not a good place to be. al qaeda is still very active around the world and you could make an argument that in terms of pure numbers, al qaeda rivals the strength that it was ten years ago or 20 years ago. it continues to build networks and operates a new places around the world and it still has a strong presence in afghanistan and pakistan despite what you hear from u.s. governments at times. >> bret: let's turn now to the president's trip to michigan. as i mentioned a lot of focus on the mask, ford motor company putting out a statement a short time ago, bill ford encouraged president trump when he arrived and he wore a mask when he had a private viewing of the gt. the biggest focus was the focus on reopening. >> i think the mask debate as a proxy for the larger debate the country i

the evidence we've been able to develop from the killer's devices shows that the pensacola attack was actually the brutal culmination of years of planning and preparation by a long time aide to a.p. associate the new evidence shows that out some ronnie had radicalized not after training here in the united states but at least as far back as 2015 and that he had been connecting and associating with a number of dangerous h.-u. a.p. operatives ever since it shows that i'll share money described a desire to learn about flying years ago around the same time he talked about attending the saudi air force academy in order to carry out what he called a special operation and he then pressed his plans forward joining the air force and bringing his plot here to america thanks to a lot of hard work by our people we now know that al chamonix continued to associate with a.q. a.p. even while living in texas and in florida and then in the months before the attack while he was here among us he talked with a q a p about his plans and tactics taking advantage of the information he acquired here to assess

adding pensacola, which has a large open today. adding naples, fort hybridpensacola, and the drive-through and walk up site at the miami beach convention center. more opportunities if you want to test, because we feel if you are putting people back to work, maybe a worker has some symptoms, they are hopefully in these communities, there is an easy way to do it. drive-through is not the only way to do it. doctors offices are doing it. we are expanding it in many ways and i will talk more about that in a second, but those drive-through sites will the federaln government stops supplying them. i called the mayor and said, you want to keep it? he said yes. we have been happy to support that and we will continue to do it. you see this in orlando, in the county health department, they have done a good job, we have done walk-up testing community sites to read you set it up, people can walk up, you are able to reach out to underserved communities and offer testing in ways that are effective. they have already done 10,000 tests just on the w
