Health Officials Say they are seeing radical shift as adults in their 20s and 30s contract the deadly virus. Texas blaming record jump in number of cases on people gatherings in bars and beaches. Investors seeing down as many as 439 points overnight following Peter Navarros comments. There had been progress made on the trade deal but given all the things that happened and all the things you just listed, is that over . Its over. Yes, they came on january 15th to sign the trade deal and this was a full two months after they knew the virus was out and about. It was at the time when they had already sent hundreds of thousands people to the country to spread the virus and minutes after wheels up, the planes took off that we began to hear about the pandemic. Maria markets rebounding quickly as navarro walked back the comments. They had nothing to do with phase 1 trade deal that continues in place. They lied about coronavirus and forced pandemic upon the world. President trump weighed on twitter, he wrote this. The china trade deal is fully intact, hopefully theyll continue to live up to the terms of the agreement, and, of course, those terms are 200 billion worth of purchases and agricultural commodities. Company cochief officer happening smith, also joining me this morning fox business Dagen Mcdowell and Jon Hilsenrath and senior fellow at the National Taxpayers union and forward strategys president Mattie Duppler. Peter navarro walking back the comments that the deal is not over, lets face it the Chinese Communist party has not kept up in terms of proms, we are still waiting of purchases, we may not get it in the face of all of this and the relationship has changed, how does that impact markets . Well, it clearly shows you that trade is still an important issue. S p futures were down 400 points as you pointed out, and but also the market knows that china is dealing with their own economic problems as are all countries due to this pandemic, but trade and if we get into a trade war is a headwind for the economy as welander a year before and hopefully we dont have to learn the lesson again, but you are right in pointing out a relationship with china is frayed to say the least. So, i mean, why was this such a surprise initially that markets sold off when navarro said its over. They still havent bought the phase 1 promises anyway. That is true but i think the market is overlooking the fact that they havent bought and due to the fact that we are in this pandemic and we have to heal our country of the pandemic and then the expectation is that they will be good at least in phase 1. Maria yeah, dagen, jump in here, the nasdaq with record close of 20 yesterday. Bigtech Companies Like amazon. Dagen the gains are more widespread and arent driven necessarily by the tech monopolies, if you will. Is that a positive sign in terms of the bret of this rally . Absolutely. Defense those companies that hold up very well in economic environment and then you have tech which is both offense and defense which is a remarkable transition but its a healthy sign that the market is broadening out and portrays well for future gains. Maria Jon Hilsenrath; what are your thoughts on whats taking place with china. Obviously overnight markets were forward when we heard pete navarro say that, that the deal is over . Jon i think we are in a new economic cold war with china and this is an example of it and, you know, we are also going to see on immigration issues on Chinese Students coming to america to study and this is something that i wanted to ask hank about. The Trump Administration announced that it was scaling back h1b visas. What does that mean for the economy and for growth as an an an investor im sure youre thinking about growth and a lot of the Companies Look to h1b visas, whats your decision to cut back on the visas in the country . So, jon, the Trump Administration in terms of growth has gotten it right on taxes, has gotten it right on regulation and deregulation but theyve gotten it wrong on trade and theyve gotten it wrong on immigration. This country needs immigration. We need immigration with ph. Ds and bluecollar levels and 85 of them plus or minus are full pay. Its a big question this fall as to whether foreign students in particular asian students will be able to attend our colleges and universities and thats going to have a huge financial impact. Maria hank, is it just about the money then . At the end of the day we have spoken with many senators who said this is a National Security issues. The Chinese Communist party sends researchers to steal our data and they are doing it right now. That was one to have key things that senator cotton was talking about and i suspect this is part of what the president s plan is here that, i mean, theres a reason that at least 7 University Professors or workers at universities had been indicted for getting money from the Chinese Communist party for sending back data. When does it become a National Security issue and not just about the money . Right, but also, maria, you have a very good point, but also a lot of the foreign students stay in the United States and become very, very productive, create companies and really add to Silicon Valley, so, you know, there are always going to be issues and problems but i think net, immigration is a plus for this country in terms of growth as opposed to a drain on our resources. Maria all right, we will leave it there, hank smith, always a pleasure to see you, thanks so much. Good to be with you. Maria hank smith joining us, we are just Getting Started this morning, Infectious Disease expert amesh adalja is here. Former california congressman darrell issa on californias move to expand voting by mail and what attorney general william barr told me about the issue and in the 7 00 a. M.

Maria welcome back, coronavirus cases on the rise as States Reopen. 20 states seeing increase in infections, in florida cases topping one hundred thousand. In georgia, in houston hospitalizations are rising dramatically and in arizona, one in five people have now tested positive. Joining us right now Infectious Disease expert senior scholar at John Hospital since center dr. Amesh adalja. Dr. Adalja, whats behind the increase of cases, is it due to more testing opening . Its a combination of both. Thats the important thing, trying to get the contact case scaled up to be able to stop the cases from spilling into the hospitals so we do have an issue in some states that many are concerned about. Maria are more are more young people testing positive now . Are there fears that they could pass to the elderly given the numbers we are seeing on young people . Doctor thats definitely the case, we are seeing skewing where the average case of diagnosed cases and we do have more tests and testing where younger people and the people that are about to reengage in society are getting infected in bars and restaurants and thats a challenge because they wont get sick but may be a bridge to somebody that could end up being with hospitalization. We have to get very aggressive with the Case Management of the new cases we are getting in certain states. Maria sure, really troubling info. Dr. Amesh adalja, thank you very much.

Maria welcome back, attorney general bill barr confirm to go me that the fbi claims there was a conversation in a wine bar that sparked the probe into russia collusion. During my sitdown, exclusive sitdown with the ag this week i spoke to him about the origins of the russia investigation and the beginnings of the alleged coup to take down President Trump. But is there any evidence that, in fact, it was appropriate to launch an investigation other than a conversation in a bar . I know that George Papadopoulos had a conversation in a bar . That is the official version of what happened, the comment in london wine bar was the basis for Going Forward and ive said that i thought that was a very slender read to get Law Enforcement intelligence agencies involved and investigating the campaign of ones political opponent. Can you tell us who joseph smith is . No, i will say that one of the things that takes time is they are looking at concerns raised and he is looking at things prejuly and trying to run those down, and so theres a lot to look at throughout this whole episode but before and after the election and hes diligent looking at everything. Maria when the doj start paying informants . I dont know but its a common practice. Confidential human sources. Maria well, i asked because youve been around and you were the ag under george h. W. Bush and you have seen a lot of the same players, alexander downer, are these regular names that have been working with the Intelligence Community before . I couldnt say anything about that. Maria and he couldnt say anything about that because this is an active criminal investigation taking place right now, so Dagen Mcdowell, now that we know the fbi claiming that thats the reason they investigated donald trump because of a conversation in a wine bar, next question becomes was the conversation organic or was that information planted, joseph met George Papadopoulos in april 2016 and told him russia has Hillary Clintons emails, thats what George Papadopoulos said to informant friend several months later in a wine bar, dagen. Dagen and the issue now the clock is ticking on the john durham investigation with the president ial election coming up in a matter of months and i will tie it to the firing of the u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york jeff reberman or him being told to get the heck out, that the wall street journal editorial page touches on this, that the messy removal of geoffrey berman, bill barr loses capital here wasted and its the fbi and Justice Department who pushed this to launch the investigation into President Trump, along with some members of the media who sold the phoney steele dossier to the American People and the whole russia collusion story. Its in their interest to focus on geoffrey bermans removal because it absolves them of any responsibility of investigating a president ial candidate and a president and then selling a lie to the American People so its exceedingly complicated right now. Maria well, its really extraordinary to me that more people are not outraged by what has taken place in 2016. Jon hilsenrath, we have spoken about this, you would think that people would not want to see the powers that the people in powerful positions put their finger on the scale, but thats exactly what took place in 2016 and we will learn more about the activity before july 2016, thats when the fbi said they started the investigation but we know there was a lot of activity, informants as early as march and april of 16, that same year. Jon well, maria, i think youre right, i think dagen put her finger on it. We talked about war, we will see Political Warfare where both sides are throwing out all kinds of accusations and versions of events of what happened in 2016, but also whats going on right now, you know, all of the fighting about mailin ballots. For most americans watching this, its going to be hard, hard to make sense of it all. Maria we will talk about the mailin ballots coming up. Also americans headed to ballot box, what the attorney general told me about that. Stay with us. Dinosaurs dominate again, jurrassic park making big bucks at the box office.

Maria fighting voter fraud. Advocates voting by mail argue it would keep voters safe and socially distant amid pandemic but critics say it opens ballot tampering. Well, theres a big discussion about mailin voting. Hillary clinton said its fine. Its fair. Well, it absolutely open the flood gates to fraud. Those things are deliver today mailboxes and they can be taken out, theres questions about whether or not it even denies secret ballot because a lot of the states have you signing the outside of the envelope, so the person who opens the envelope will know how people voted. A foreign country can print up tens of thousands of counterfeit ballots and hard for us to detect, which is the right and which is the wrong ballot, so i think it it can upset and undercut the confidence in the integrity of our elections. If anything, we should tighten them up right now. Maria my next guest filed a lawsuit against california governor gavin isnt it true to block the state from expanding mailin voting, california congressman and now congressional candidate himself darrell issa, congressman, always pleasure to see you, thanks so much for being here. Thank you, maria, with a history in california with excess voters on the roles. You know, in los angeles alone when they were sued and challenged on never cleaning up their rolls, they add over 1 million voters that had to be removed because, of course, they didnt really exist. Maria so where do we stand right now because i know that you just heard the ag and what he said that it opens the flood gates of fraud. He said Foreign Governments can be printing ballots and we will not they could print thousands and thousands of ballots and we will not even though what the real thing and whats just fake from Foreign Governments trying to med until our election, where do we stand in on mailin ballots on a federal level going into the election. Im afraid its gavin newsom and the democrats that are going to be printing those fake ballots, theyre not cleaning up the voter roles, they intend to send those 5 million excess unasked for, many of the people have never voted. They just registered through motor voter, they intend to send them up but they are doing worse than that. They just passed a bill on the governors desk that actually allows for voting for 17 days after the election. 30 days before nearly 30 days before the election you can begin voting but theyre allowing for 17 days afterwards to find out how many votes are needed and go get them. Maria that is unbelievable. Can the administration do anything about this . Congressman theres a question those 17 days will create invalidity. Prior to this time you had to be postmarked by the election. You could receive afterwards but you had to have outside Government Agency but with voter harvesting in california basically union thugs will go and get these things, maybe for weeks after the election and questionably where they get them from because theyre going to be mailed to dorm rooms where the students arent there, you know, theres going to be several million ballots just sitting around waiting to be filled out. Maria thats unbelievable. We will keep watching. This is such an important subject going into the election but i want to turn to the other election meddling that we are talking about this morning and that is the russia probe. During my interview with ag barri asked him about accountable for elected officials. You were there as an oversight chairman, listen to this. Adam schiff is an elected official, chairman of the intel committee. When these guys speak you stop and listen. Adam schiff said multiple times that there was collusion in plain sight. Is it no accountability for an elected official, someone that the public obviously trusts just by their resume to say one thing in a closeddoor situation when you are under oath like so many in the Obama Administration said theres no evidence of collusion by they went out on television and they said the complete opposite. They said collusion is in plain sight, thats a quote from adam schiff. Well, as far as Public Comments like that these people have been making and press conferences and on television and so forth, you know, the accountability is really elections for schiff, thats why we have elections. If people us district want him to continue to behave as he has, they can send him back to office. It is infuriating and the same phenomena i discuss with the media which is the media mislead the American People grossry over a long period of time with with exaggerated claims and misinformation and they havent been held accountable and the the same for the talking heads. Maria congressman you know, unfortunately we dont we dont hold people who lie under oath in front of Congress Accountable and to be honest adam who came into congress; we came in together in 2001, his history was that he was for law and order and and the rule of law and and not impeaching people without a good reason. Hes done a 180 and willingness to flat lie and then standby the lie even when its proven to be wrong is disappointing. He is by the way in a very safe democratic seat and perhaps thats the reason that he can be Nancy Pelosis right arm on these kinds of in this case part of an attempted coup of the president. Maria well, i mean, shouldnt it be that theres accountability here. For 3 years he said there was collusion in plain sight. He mislead the American People. We know theres no collusion after spending 40 million on mueller report. Is anybody going to ask him, where is the plain sight . Well, theres no question at all if youre independent voter in his district you have to be angry as can be that you have been lead. Its time to vote for opponent and send strong message that theres a point at which politicians have to be held accountable. Its one thing to say one thing and do another, its another thing to outright lie about classified information that the American People will never see in most cases and as a result mislead them into believing and losing confidence in their government. This is shameful. He should apologized. He certainly should be defeated in the ballot box but i will tell you, its going to take a lot of independent voters in his district to do it and i hope they will. Maria all right, darrell, thank you, sir. Coming up, keeping americans employed.

Maria ive got to ask you about the cap x cycle and where you see it right now in terms of Companies Investing in it, et cetera, im looking at a Cornerstone Macro report, nancy lazar, frequent guest here, pieces falling into cap x cycle led by technology. Covid19 economy demands more investment to adapt from retailers, banks to manufacturers, what are you seeing in that regard . I tell you what, april and may were certainly dark. Those are low. We are are starting to see more openings in our company and we are starting to see a lot more out there if you look for it. One of the things that we did during the pandemic and put 3,000 healthcare workers back to work, so, you know, its starting to come back, i wouldnt say its rolling back in but we are optimistic about signs in the broader economy. Maria yeah, im glad that you mentioned the campaign, be the light, i want to hear more about it, but lazar write that is the Second Quarter real cap x likely plunged 30 . Thats the Second Quarter, the months that youre referring that was really bad. The new information is it will probably rebound 10 in the Third Quarter followed by sustained expansion in 2021. Shes looking at 8 growth for next year, so cap x up in the Third Quarter and up in 2021. Do you believe that to be true . We do believe that to be true. It was a great economy before this and, look, things like it are Mission Critical departments and people still need to protect their data, people still need to run their businesses and while this has not been a fun three months and i think we are not quite out of the woods yet, we referred to this time as the long that we are in.

Now, in april the company said the vaccine would be available in the second half of 2021, so this is certainly more promising new this morning. Time for born husband, first up not without pickup truck. A new study from ford shows american Truck Drivers are willing to give up some of lifes luxuries before they give up their pickup. They include streaming services, alcohol, coffee, their phones, meat, even intimacy. Dagen, do you have a pickup truck . I need some confirmation on all of this because im not buying all of this. Youre not giving all of the stuff for the pickup. Dagen im not either and i got a license in ford 150 and drove a bronco which is essentially a pickup for years and years. 82 of the truck owners in the survey would rather giver upstreaming services, but the intimacy, the sex part, that fell to 38 and said they would give up sex to keep their truck. I suspect its much lower than that, a lot of people would rather hang on to the intimacy and drive a lawn mower. Maria next up devouring classic films.

The secret service says four members of the media were asked to leave the white house yesterday for their own safety amid the demonstrations. The city of seattle moving to end the policefree capitol hill organized protest or chop zone after a man was shot and killed over the weekend. The zone was embraced by the mayor earlier this month. Durkin said it could bring on a, quote, summer of love. She is changing her tune right now. She says seattle will try to scale the chop zone back and let Police Return to the east precinct. We believe individuals, organizations and others can continue to gather on capitol hill peacefully, the continued disorder, the violence and the impacts on residents and businesses are not just at odds with the message of justice and equity, they cannot continue to occur. Maria i spoke to attorney general bill barr about the seattle autonomous zone on sunday morning futures. So will you challenge that autonomous city . Will you sue the mayor . What can you do .

They will use Intel Technology to power servers for the Cloud Computing services. Apple shares are up one andahalf percent. Mailin ballot fraud, President Trump expressing concern the 2020 election could be, quoting rigged if widespread use of mailin ballots is allowed. During my interview with ag barr this weekend he spoke about the potential dangers of mailin ballots. Theres a big discussion right now about mailin voting. Hillary clinton said its fine, its fair. Well, it absolutely opens the floodgates to fraud. They are delivered to mailboxes. They can be taken out. Theres questions about whether or not it denies a secret ballot. A lot of states have you signing the outside of the envelope so people will know how people voted. Right now a foreign country could print up tens of thousands of counterfeit ballots and it would be very hard for us to detect, which was the right and which was the wrong ballot. I think it can upset and undercut the confidence in the integrity of our elections. If anything, we should tighten them up right now. Maria joining me right now is california congressman, House Armed Services Committee Member, Jon Garamendi and Committee Member and retired lieutenant colonel, michael walz. Thank you for joining us. Good to be with you. Maria congressman ga, whats r reaction to mailin voting. Its just wrong. Weve had mailin voting in states for years and very little if any fraud at all. It works very, very well. Theres been no problem, no fraud in certainly in california, certainly not in oregon. So i think hes wrong. Maria congressman walz in. I think were talking past each other on this issue somewhat, maria. Florida has mailin, as do many other states, mailin voting as well. The issue is when were seeing states talking about mass ballot mailings to people that havent requested them, to potentially people that havent even registered, to voter roles that havent been fully reconciled. There are a number of cases, numerous cases of voter fraud. Its a slippery slope. We just had one just last month in new jersey where nearly 20 of the ballots were invalidated for ballot stuffing, for not having the appropriate signatures, for not matching voter rolls. There are studies showing texas had over 27 accounts. There have been boxes of ballots found in nevada where they had mass mailings. So it is a slippery slope if not controlled properly and not done properly. I think thats what the president and the attorney general are concerned about and they are rightly concerned and this is being done under the guise of corona. My position is, if we can safely stand in line to go to the Grocery Store, if we can safely and civilly protest, then i think we can safely stand in line to vote as weve been doing the last several elections and in needs to be a healthy mix and there needs to be a healthy series of protocols in place to make sure this is done properly. Youre absolutely correct about the series of protocols and also do keep in mind that standing in lines that wrap around three or four city blocks is not appropriate. So voting in person should be part of the process as well as voting by mail and the protocols do have to be in place. The issues that you cite are the issues of the protection. Yes, there are problems that occasionally occur but the ability to check and crosscheck the voter rolls and signatures, so forth, those all work. But we also must keep in place that people must have the opportunity to vote in person and that requires that the counties and cities and states provide sufficient voting places so that people dont have to stand in line for hours upon hours. Maria well, you heard what darryl issa said earlier, where basically there are areas where youre allowing voting 17 days after the election. What is that about . Why would you allow voting 17 days after an election . I dont think that occur anywhere. Those ballots have to be postmarked the day of the election and in most cases they have to and so they cannot be 17 days. I think hes referring to counting. It does take extra days to count the mailin ballots because they cant be postmarked on the day of the election. And so that is obviously a concern. I know in california our elections are not over for several days. In fact, a cup can hell of them a couple of them even a month after the election as ballots arrive. Also ballots arrive from overseas. The u. S. Military has been voting by mail for years and those ballots always arrive late. Maria thats interesting you say overseas. Thats another issue. Go ahead. Well, i was going to say, the other concern in addition to the 17 days after the election is that anyone can go collect those ballots in unlimited numbers of ballots. Maria that thats ridiculou. In california and other states. You can have an activist go into certain targeted neighborhoods where people they know havent hvoted or voted a certain way ad then collect as many ballots as they need after an election and turn them in. They know the target and can gwynn the election after the fact so its the slippery slope that comes with additional laws being added onto the vote by mail that is really concerning. We can wake up to sounds in the night. But lets be very clear here, that we have had vote by mail for years and years and these problems simply do not exist. Yes, we do count the ballots late after the election. Maria he just named he actually just named times when it did exist in new jersey. That was just last month. That was just last month, maria. This wasnt from years ago. This was from may of 2020 in patterson, new jersey. In california, you know we had six republican seats that won on Election Night but yet days later those leads tended to be eroded to the point that they didnt that they then lost. So i think there are real issues and real concerns that we are all focused on keeping the integrity of the election. We certainly should do that. But lets be very clear. Those were legitimate ballots that were counted after the Election Night and we know from even there are ballots that are legitimately cast at polls that are often late in arriving for counting at the county or city. But your point is correct, we must have a legitimate election. Vote by mail or vote by person, either way it has to be done legitimately. Maria we all want a legitimate election. We can agree on that. Congressmen, thank you. Great to see you both, gentlemen. Thank you so much. We will be right back. Stay with us. There are people who say things arent made here anymore. Those people should make a trip to michigan. Or kentucky. Or illinois. Where youll find our workers and dealers and engineers and technicians. Building for america. Were proud to employ more hourly workers than any other automaker in this country. Because we build for this country. Maria welcome back. We have breaking news right now. Shares of translate biosoaring this morning after sanofi agreed to a potential 2 billion deal to take a 7 and a quarter percent stake in the Biotech Company. The move is expanding their collaboration in development of of inoculation against covid19. Last hour reuters reported sanofi expects to get approval for the potential Coronavirus Vaccine by the first half of next year. Now we are seeing the acquisition of the stake in trans genomic inc. The stock is up 70 right now. Chinese influence on Higher Education continues to be an issue. The new investigation finds 1 billion in anonymous foreign funds among institutions nationwide, even a school with direct contracts with the Chinese Communist party. The department of education says the money is from china, russia, qatar and saudi arabia. The education secretary says the findings should lead to more transparency in reporting foreign financial ties. I discussed the issue with senator tom cotton, the reconsidering of visas of Chinese Students studying in america. You believe we should not be giving visas to Chinese Students who want to study advanced sciences. They want to get into the Gilead Sciences and googles of the world to steal that research. Is that right . Maria, its a scandal to me that we have trained so many of the Chinese Communist partys brightest minds to go back to china, to compete for our jobs, to take our business and ultimately to steal our property and design weapons and other devices that can be used against the American People. So i think we need to take a very hard look at the visas that we give to chinese nationals to come to the United States to study, especially at the post graduate level in advanced scientific and technological fields. If Chinese Students want to come here and study shakespeare and the federalist papers, thats what they need to learn from america. They dont need to learn quantum computing and Artificial Intelligence from america. Maria this as President Trump last night signed an executive order expanding current immigration restrictions on certain visas, they include the h1b and h2b visas related to guest worker programs as well as some j and l visas that relate to education exchanges and executive transfers. Jon hilsenrath i realize Technology Companies are upset about this. They want to have diverse workforces. But at the same time, how do you differentiate who is coming in here who are working for the communist party, stealing information, and getting a leg up and who is not, and who is coming in here to just study and expand and grow and build companies here . Thats the issue. Because ag barr on sunday said to me the chinese are stealing the future of our children and our grandchildren because the Chinese Communist party wants to be number one in all the Growth Industries that we want to be number one, like a. I. And quantum computing. Jon i think its a really complicated issue on a number of levels. First of all, a lot of american universities have been very big, important source of Economic Development in communities all over this country and they brought in foreign students and depended on that revenue stream. Higher education has been one of our biggest exports as a country for quite a number of years. You know, the other thing i would say is that bringing foreign students into the United States is a great way of spreading the american creed to people elsewhere in the world. I know you interviewed my colleague who wrote this book about u. S. China trade. This was my colleague who came here to study at new york university, became an american citizen, and its kind of bringing those brought those values back to china. Maria the communist party is not adopting those values. Jon, weve been waiting for the communist party to figure out that democracy works. Theyre not doing it. Look what theyre doing in hong kong right now. We can keep waiting for the 50 years that they promised hong kong to be autonomous. Theyre not following the democracy. Theyre more rigid than ever before, the ccp. Jon and the question is how do you weed out the bad ones. But without throwing out the golden egg. Maria thats right. All right.

We are looking at a rally underway, the dow futures are up 250 points right now, the nasdaq is up 75 and s p up 26. Last night markets were down after comments by Peter Navarro on fox news, he said the u. S. China trade deal sparked a volatile session certainly, he said that the trade deal was over. With that comment, futures plummet 400 points before navarro walked it back and the president also tweeted about it that it is still in place. Joining me right now is fair leaf managing partner, katie stockton. Great to see you this morning. It takes me back, where every day we came in and there was another tidbit about the china deal and markets were moving on it. Are we going to go back to that . Obviously the relationship between the u. S. And china has changed. Well, theres definitely a real skittishness to the market right now. I see it as characteristic of a consolidation phase. You have this tug of war between buyers and sellers and what some of the indicators that we use are really designed to eliminate this kind of noise. We saw earlier this month a very subtle loss of shortterm momentum ahead of the big gap down ahea aof as p 500 index. Were seeing a heightened vol volatility and consolidation phase that reflects the loss of shortterm momentum. It will keep hold another few weeks as the market digests the rally it saw after the marlo and in the big scheme of things its probably going to be healthy. Maria i want to ask you about where we are in markets right now because i know that fang stocks, thats facebook, apple, netflix and google, showing some signs of exhaustion but theyve been the Leadership Groups here. We are now in the final few days of the First Quarter, First Quarter ends on tuesday of next week. What are you expecting in terms of markets given that this is the final full week of the quarter and tell us about the groups that you think are poised to go higher and lower including these fang stocks. Well, in the near term were seeing a little bit more of a defensive sector rotation, that means Consumer Staples are likely to do better, healthcare broadly doing better and believe it or not it does include the fang stocks. I would expand the fang stocks you mentioned to include amazon and even microsoft. Those names have been looked at as somewhat defensive, as safe haven in what has been an increasingly volatile tape. I dont think that changes. The relative strength is still behind those fang stocks and really Large Cap Technology in general. In absolute terms, you can see there are some signs of exhaustion, meaning that shortterm momentum has fallen off as a response to overbought conditions. I think well see a little consolidation but something that does allow the uptrends to persist beyond the near term. Maria and real quick on the final week of the quarter, katie, any activity expected from big Pension Funds or institution alibiers institutional buyers. Its a very difficult period in terms of market volumes. Like i said its very fick le. The market lacks a directional bias. That might temper the activity as we come into the end of the quarter. I dont think thats meaningful. I think with the start of a new quarter well get new buyers stepping in and perhaps that occurs after a deeper pullback and allows the s p 500 to release itself and finally get up to those new highs. Maria all right. Katie, great insights from you as always. Thank you so much. We will see you soon. Quick break and then unions are battling facebook, aflcio president Richard Trumka is here next on the Technology Platform censorship of the word unionize. Andy rod dick dick new sport, he roddick new sport, he enters the bourbon world as the u. S. Open is set to come back. Stay with us. Maria welcome back. Good tuesday morning, everybody. Thanks so much for joining us. Im maria bartiromo. It is tuesday, june 23. Lets take a look at markets this morning, 7 32 a. M. On the east coast. Futures are back in the green this morning, rising 25 of points, the dow industrials up about 1 , the nasdaq up 73, s p 500 up 25 on the final full week of the First Quarter. This after a huge plunge overnight of 400 points after trade and Manufacturing Policy director Peter Navarro said the china deal was over. President trump and navarro quickly confirmed phase one trade deal is still on, walking back those comments, markets reversed course and traded up. In fact, yesterday markets were higher as well even as the cases of coronavirus spike in several states. The dow industrials yesterday up 153 points at the close, the nasdaq was up 110, the nasdaq in fact seeing its 20th record close in 2020. The s p 500 up 20 points. European markets are on the rise. U. S. Officials warning china they could see a relationship cut if theres no sign of opening the economy to European Countries. The fq100 up 81, cac up 80 and dax index up 321 right now. In asia overnight green across the board, japan is signaling it will keep to plans to gain a Budget Surplus by 2025, despite massive spending on the covid19 crisis. The nikkei average was up one half of 1 . Delta airlines set to resume flights between the u. S. And china this week. Cheryl casone with details there. Cheryl. Cheryl good morning again, maria. Thats right. The move is going to make delta the first u. S. Airline to restart operations to china after flights were suspended in february in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Starting thursday the airline will resume flights between seattle and shanghai. The flights will run twice a week this month and once a week starting in july from seattle and detroit as well. A little bit of expansion there. The stock is up more than 1 in the premarket. Remember, the u. S. And china agreed to ease travel restrictions last week allowing four weekly flights between the two countries. Well, softbank is unloading a may jar part of major part of the stake in tmobile, part of a plan to raise 41 billion to buy back shares and reduce debt. This comes as the softbank founder looks to strengthen the Balance Sheet following steep losses from investments that didnt work out so well. Tmobile is down three quarters of 1 in the premarket right now. Finally, heres a look at whats trending on foxbusiness. Com. Amazons prime day will likely be delayed because of the coronavirus. It will be moved to september to ease the strange on warehouse work hes who have had workers who have had to keep up with a lot more demand. American whiskey distillers lost more than 300 billion in export revenue over the past year. Baseball may be back, may be back, mlb ready to mandate a 60 game season after the Players Association rejected the latest offer. This would make it the shortest baseball season since 1878 and the whole thing is probably going to court. Those are your headlines. Maria thank you, cheryl. Meanwhile, facebook is taking content control a step too far now, the social media giant is forced to apologize after an attempt to allow businesses to censor words like unionize on its Office Management platform. The move immediately sparked controversy and backlash from the nations Largest Union group, the aflcio. It represents more than 12. 5 million workers. Facebook has halted further development of the future. Joining me now is the president of the aflcio, Richard Trumka. Richard, its great to see you this morning. Thanks very much for joining us. You are demanding a personal apology by Mark Zuckerberg to the working people. You know, exactly. Facebook holds itself out as this champion of free speech and yet here it is developing a platform that allows employers to totally deny their employees free speech and blacklists them which is illegal and sort of truncate or eliminate their ability to talk about unionization which is also illegal. So hes doing two things here that are terrible. One, hes doing illegal stuff like blacklisting and making eavesdropping on the employees talk about unionization, thats illegal. The second thing is hes undermining the notion of free speech because its only his free speech that hes been a champion of, not workers free speech. He deserves we should have an apology. We demand an apology. And they should abandon further work on these type of platforms. Maria well, i mean, then you have to agree with both republicans and democrats who have been pushing to change section 230 in the telecom act. We know there were proposals last week to scale back section 230 of which shields Internet Companies from lawsuits for content posted on their sites from third parties. It bottom line here, when the telecom law went into place in 1996, this section gave this protection to Technology Companies because they were supposed to be, quote, unquote, platforms. But what weve seen from this move in terms of eliminating the word unionize as well as shadow banning as well as taking down tweets and posts that they dont agree with, theyve taken a side and they do censor information. You agree with them, the proposal to reverse section 230 then . We think there needs to be a change to it, exactly. Because things like this shouldnt be allowed to happen. They acted here as more than a platform. They acted here as an employer advocate, an illegal employer advocate to stop free speech and to stop unionization. They shouldnt be shielded from that type of conduct or others similar to that. Maria its unbelievable theyre even attacking the unions. I want to talk about business with china, the Chinese Communist party having taken a lot of jobs over the years, threatening american strength. I spoke with Ag William Barr on sunday and he broke news with me over the weekend, telling me that exclusively that American Businesses are prioritizing profit over patriotism. Watch this, richard. Got to get your reaction. They havent been competing fairly and the president has confronted this when no one else has. And the American Business community has been a big part of the problem. Because theyre willing ultimately, many of them, to sacrifice the longterm viability of their companies for shortterm profit. So they can get their Stock Options and move into the gulf resort. Thats whats driving some of this. Theyre not taking the longterm view and the national view. The american maintaining the american strength. Maria i was talking with one money manager the other day and he said, look, maria,ism not going to call good guys and bad guys. Its not my role to call out good guys and bad guys. So yeah, the growth is in china and thats where i want to invest. Well, you know what . Were not speaking german today because the American Business in the past didnt think that way. They stood with the United States. And all the privileges and the benefits and the stability and the rule of law and the ability to profit as they do, both as companies and individuals, comes from the strength of this country. Maria your thoughts, Richard Trumka, on the idea that corporations are not looking at the Chinese Communist party as a National Security threat, wanting to grow their businesses in china, invest in china and put jobs there as well. Well, it undermines what we do back at home, particularly when you send overseas things that are necessary for National Security. You got defense electronic parts, youve got pharmaceutical ingredients, rare earth magnet materials that are all going overseas. Once they get ahold over there or they start producing over there, they have every incentive in the world to keep things open and to protect the market in china, not in the United States. We have a tax code, maria, that rewards them for going overseas. We need to change that. We have other provisions in trade laws that actually reward them for taking jobs overseas to china. And china, he was right, they cheat, they dont play by the rules, they manipulate currency, they dont live up to their own minimum wage laws, health and safety laws. And that gives them a tremendous advantage over an american producer. So they go over there and once they get embedded in china, they advocate for everything thats good for china. They advocate that back home. They use their immense lobbying power to prevent us from passing laws, tax laws, that would not reward them for going overseas but they want more rewards. So they use their immense Bargaining Power to do that. Maria you mentioned lobbying groups. Youre right. Youre spoton on that richard. Because the Chinese Communist party has been able to create lobbying groups in hollywood, in Corporate America, in academia, so real quick, richard, your reaction to the news today President Trump signing an order monday temporarily barring new immigrants on the slate of employment based visas including the h1b, h2bs, the skilled workers from coming to the United States amid the coronavirus pandemic so that those jobs can go to American Workers. Look, why did he do that temporarily . Weve been saying this for 10 years. If the visa system was structured properly, you would only be able to bring people in when there was a real need and only when they paid them an adequate wage and adequate benefit. We said lets restructure the visa laws. We got opposition. This president had opposition to us. But its time now for us to say these visa laws dont work. Dont just do this temporarily. Lets do this and make it a sane system so when theres a real need we can get people but when there isnt a real need we shouldnt be able to bring people in to lower the wages of American Workers. Maria it sounds like you need to take this case directly to ceos of companies, richard, as you just heard what ag barr said, they want to make money in china. They see the growth there. Theyre not seeing it as a National Security issue and as a jobs issue. Youre pinpointing it right now. Richard, good to see you this morning as always, thank you, sir. Good to see you. Stay safe. Maria and to you. Stay safe, Richard Trumka. Thanks so much. Maria welcome back. From sports to spirits, andy roddick, Peyton Manning, jim mance teaming up for a new venture, bourbon whiskey. It comes with a 200 price tag. The first batch immediately sold out last month. Theres a long waiting list for july. Joining me now is tennis hall of famer, andy roddick and cofounder, mark rivers. Thank you so much for joining us. Good morning. Thank you, maria. Maria congratulations to you, andy roddick, let me kick it off with you. Why are you getting involved in this, since retiring from tennis. You successfully invested in Many Companies. Youre a cofounder of sweetens cove spirits. What drew you to the project . Well, it started with the small nine hole public golf course in tennessee called sweeten cove. We brought the golf course along with Peyton Manning and jim mance and my cofounder said theres a tradition where before you tee off on the first hole you have a shot of bourbon or whiskey. The shots that were out there werent real good. We decided to make our own. Maria that is great. Mark, what about bourbon do you think is a growth story . I mean, has coronavirus affected distribution at all . And why do you think bourbon is going to be a Growth Business versus other alcohols . How come you zeroed in on bourbon . Well, the golf course itself which was our inspiration is very much a tennessee sort of place. Its field of dreams meets tin cup. Bourbon being a tennessee product made a whole lot of sense to follow that thread of pureity and authenticity. Weve been at it for a month or so. We never expected we would be launching in a pandemic. Few people decide to launch a Spirits Company at a time when essentially all the bars are closed. But weve had Great Success i think connecting with people who like the story, the product itself is really fantastic. They love the story. And so weve had a lot of fun with it. Were available only in two states now, to the extent that you can still find a bottle. Tennessee and georgia. And well continue to grow along the way. Maria well, i guess, andy, people are at home and theyre actually drinking more. I can only speak from personal experience. Ive certainly been drinking more recently. Were also so lucky. You know, were a bunch of guys from a lot of different avenues, so were lucky to have marianne onboard as the master blender. Luckily, we can get all the taste making and really questions of the blend over to her which has made it easier for dummies like me. Maria im glad youre working and investing as much as you are because a lot of my friends, myself included, thinker you retired think you retired way to young in tennis. What do you think about the u. S. Open beginning without the fans in the stands. I think theyre doing the best they can. Ive been on the calls behind the scenes and even to put together an ambitious plan where theyre chartering playing with people who have been tested from different parts of the globe and trying to set up a bubble, its certainly an imperfect world right now with what theyre doing. As youve seen with other tennis events who havent been as strict, as responsible, im actually really proud of the usta for the plan they put together. They had to have the plan in about a month ago without knowing what the roadway would look like, so i have to give credit for them. Theyve been very, very thoughtful and fingers crossed. Its the largest annual International Sporting event in the world so were hopefully it will happen. Maria would you have played . Serena is going to play. A lot of the top men are not sure theyre going to play. Would you have played . I would have absolutely played. Theyre telling me i could only have one person with me. Thats enough. I would be ready to go. Maria andy roddick, mark rivers, thank you. Congrats on the new business. Well be watching. Well be right back. Where will you go first .

What do you think about this. Mattie i would say the bigger thing is its home to osu. Its good that people are using their time in quarantine for things like this. Maria sleepless in new york, many in the big apple calling on mayor bill de blasio to do something about the uptick in illegal fireworks being set off at all hours of the night. Dagen, youre in new york city. Do you hear these fireworks at night . Dagen every single night in the middle of the night. Brooklyn is particularly bad. People were outside of Gracie Mansion making a rukus trying to keep de blasio up to make a statement about this. Heres a statistic, nearly 9,000 complaints of illegal fireworks were reported to the 311 system, 320 times the same number from june 1st through sunday. 2,000, more than 2,000 just on sunday saturday alone. It is chaos in this city. And it only gets worse. Maria what are the fireworks about . Dagen theyre just because people are bored and theyre illegal. Somebody pulled some similar mys into new york semis into new york city with illegal fireworks in them and theyre selling them in the streets apparently.

Hi, maria. Good morning to i bottom line at the white house says executive order is about protecting the american work, as you know right now, concurrently 13 unemployment in this country, during a global pandemic, the executive order, also, puts a pause on green card applications, for the remainder of the calendar year really focuses on new work visas as many of them as well will be paused for the rest of the year, as well. Giving sort of a broad look as to what this executive order goes into, it will put a pausing on visas for those steeking hill skilled worker jobs that Many Companies especially in techfield seek h1b along with spouses of workers also puts a pause on visas for temporary Seasonal Workers h2b, intercompany transfers, j, workstudy programs, l visas. Jest temporary tees lou over 500,000 job options for americans in the latter half of this year that is a very big deal, unprecedented level of effort by a president , to clear the american job market of competition like this.

Maria blake burman latest there, this threat from from chinese technology, are attorney general william barr telling me during exclusive interview this weekend, that the u. S. Must rally behind, Companies Like ericsson, nokia pose stroenth threat against huawei watch this. Would u. S. Consider acquiring, ericsson and nokia to send a message to the world, that if you use ericsson, nokia youve got backing of the United States government . As an alternative to huawei. I gave a speech a a while back saying that it was that the two Companies Best position to compete with huawei are ericsson and nokia. But unlike huawei, huawei has the backing of the Chinese Government all Chinese Government money. Ultimately the quest has to rally around these companies. Whether that means private ownership, or state involvement. So you would be okay taking a stake even if a Minority Stake in these companies, to offset the threat of huawei then . That is not a decision for the Justice Department, i i do think that the west has to pick horses. Joining me right now ohio senator, Affairs Committee Senate Foreign relations Committee Member rob portman thanks for joining me. Thanks for having me on. Maria so many things to talk about what the president is doing in terms of visas h1b, h2b your reaction to what you just heard from from ag barr i understand, there was this briefing, in in the senate last week, in one of the committees, raised the issue of the u. S. Needing to get hidden another horse to back up telecom and challenge huawei your reaction would you like to see United States take a stake about in ericsson . I would like to see the it send a really strong market signal, and that means, that we are open for business we want competitors we just finished an investigation, as you know of Chinese Telecom companies here in the United States, we found out that one under investigation, was being removed from the market but there were three that were not been here two decades, all indications we got in investigation, was that this was a National Security risk to the United States because that data was likely being transferred to china, Chinese Communist party with Telecom Companies i think a real problem i think the market signal would he would be if Nokia Ericsson develop technology to compete with huawei have a market in United States probably better way to do it we need to be sure western world has an alternative. I mean there are so many things the Chinese Government, is doing, the Chinese Communist party, telecom, or education, this week the department of education, finding one billion dollars, autonomous foreign funds among institutions nationwide with direct contracts with Chinese Communist batter what about that ag barr talked about threat from Chinese Communist party stealing intellectual property, as we speak, listen to what he said. Can you tell me a bit about what the ccp is doing i know there has been a rethinking of the relationship between the United States and china. The way i look at it this is fundamental challenge to the United States. What is at stake, is the Economic Opportunity for our children, and grandchildren whether we dan continue to be technological leader of the world the chinese have embarked on a very impressive program, during this time of stealing, and cheating. In order to over take us they have stolen our intellectual property when they steal our secrets about future technology, they are stealing the future of our American People. Maria so senator you have you bipartisan legislation, safeguarding American Innovation act would work to stop foreign gofrlts from stealing information from taxpayer funded research tell me about that, and about what is the ccp doing is it just targeting people like the the chairman of the commemorates department at harvard, paying him Charles Lieber sends data back to the ccp . I have mefr seen anything a Foreign Government actually has a real strategy of growing strategy of being number one by stealing. Maria you are absolutely right, and what is happening, is and has been happening two decades the Chinese Government, really the Chinese Communist party when you look back who is behind this has been, systematically targeting promising American Research references paying them will to take research to china not telling taker funded likes nih fired 54 he references 0 had ties to china not telling the universities or other Research Institutions like the Cleveland Clinton in my state ohio recently someone was of arrested for taking over 3 Million Dollars from china china set up a lab for them in china, they actually took the sampled biological from cleveland to china, so this has been happening for a long time weve got to shut it down our legislation is safe gaugd American Innovation introduced last pique bipartisan we need to pass its addressing all issues we talked about including Foreign Governments, and schools feels like global ceos need to understand the National Security risks that there are senator ti sir senator rob portman. Well be right back. Needles. Essential for sewing, but maybe not for people with certain inflammatory conditions. Because there are options. Like an unjection™. Xeljanz. The first and only pill of its kind that treats moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis when other medicines have not helped enough. Xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. Before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood tests. Tell your doctor if youve had hepatitis b or c, have flulike symptoms, or are prone to infections. Serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. Taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. Tears in the stomach or intestines and serious allergic reactions have happened. Needles. Fine for some. But for you, theres a pill that may provide symptom relief. Ask your doctor about the pill first prescribed for ra more than seven years ago. Xeljanz. An unjection™. Futures pointing to gain start of trading this morning, opening bell an hour away dow industrials near highs of the morning here up 320 points one 1 4 with a nasdaq up 71 s p up 33, after a volatile session, sparked by white house trade advisory Peter Navarro saying u. S. Trade deal is quote over futures traded better than 400 pointing rebounded after navarro walked back remarks president showers in tact. Chief economic adviser Mohamed Elerian great i have to the episode navarro saying deal over president coming back saying it is it is the phase one trade deal is in place. Opens the window to really what is going on here, it will feels like over and feels like economic war, economic cold war, what is the impact on investing mohamed . So i think as your interviews have shown, the issue within china and u. S. Goes way beyond economics it goes, speaks to National Security, it speaks about our dpurt, so any time soon, and the markets are very sensitive to signals, but all market really care about shortterm when they heard from President Trump the deal is in intact they took off shows how sensitive, the markets have become to policy announcements. Maria so what do you think about investing today mohamed in . The country reopening we know that now in new york we are in phase two, wall street titans expecting a swift recovery at end of the year into 2021 blackstone ceo Steve Schwartzman expects a big vrecovery in few months even if it takes a while to get to 2019 he levels economic backdrop thousand do you see snilt. He so i think if you are an he investor dealing with two tensions the first is within fundamentals, yes, we are reopening yes, we are going to see v, first few months also Health Concerns so you have to deal between reopening, and health and then the second tension, between massive support from the Federal Reserve and question mark as to what will come out of congress, so i tell investors expect two things one is it will be more volatile, and, two, is quality means matters stay with what worked so far, resist rotation trade as attempting as that may seem, because it is still a pretty uncertain outlook. Maria would you sell into this rally mohamed dow industrials up 320 points what do you want to do tie i know you are not a kneejerk reaction type of guy as i am you are longterm invested but longer term do you think market has trouble ahead. So i think going to be a lot more volatile let me tell you what i would not do, i would not go for the means to have lagged tremendously, you dont want to get hurt on that again carefully of airlines a lot of question marks, second, i would not say u. S. Stocks the rest of the world even though u. S. Outperformed rest of the world significantly third i would like for very selective opportunities, that is where money going to be made not market wide calls anymore. Maria i see, mohamed great to have you on the program as always great to see you, sir. Thank you. Thank you, maria. Mom elerian.

Maria president , promising to help Catholic Schools many on verge closing joining me right now new york the archbishop cardinal Timothy Dolan Cardinal Dolan great to see you this morning i hope you are well. I am maria always a joy to be with you thanks for invite. Maria so i he tell me cardinal assess the situation for Catholic Schools today before we get into what needs fixed how do you see things give us a state of play. I see things, as both promising and appearilous i got to be realistic things are perilous we are probably going to have to close a chunk of schools not because they are not they are not quality first class schools but simply because parents can no longer afford to tuition as much as we try to keep it low as much as we try to believe be lavish say with tears in ice afraid we cant enroll kids in school we dont have a job we dont know about future we dont have money to do it perilous we could lose a chunk of magnificent schools i find it promising for the first time, in my memory, nay, i see, Culture Society government, having a very same conversation, about the essentially nature of all of our schools and recipe for recovery, and real desire to support them. So this could be the time that we break through bigotry arrive at some way to support nongovernmental schools. You make a lot of good points the truth is during this pandemic, when we watch our students, work on the computer work online one has to wonder if parents later once out of all this say why am i paying all this money schools when child is fine online then online worshiping across all he could denominations, internet safest for elderly vulnerable Church Members until pandemic ends some worry only worship is challenging the unity of faith xupts only workeding so far are we going online for masses and schools when we get out of this pandemic . As most things maria, we are talking about a mixed blessing. So technology, communication online, has been a blessing indeed through the pandemic. For our school kids, parents, for our congregants those who love church pray together mixed pleasing even though all those people are school kids worshippers are grateful for what we were able to do in tough times, extraordinary times, they also tell us it is not the same, and we got to get back there, in person. That is why were so aggressive in have archdiocese we want to be up and running after labor day so that our Catholic Schools open we dont want to close any of them. Maria but, you know, people are going to say is the cost the same should the cost be the same given the fact that we are looking at you know, an effective situation doing it online are you expecting, tuitions to come down . Well, we certainly want to keep them the same we want to be much more lavish offering scholarships you are aware because you have been part of our fundraising in the past thank you. We have a magnificently well oiled program of scholarships for middle and lowincome students to help them stay in our schools, and we try our best to help tuition keep tuition down, no i would find our parents and students saying please open up we need you, and as much as we benefited from technology as much as we appreciate the stayathome learning, there is nothing compared to he teachers and kids in a classroom so please lets get up and running. Maria yeah, i mean there is a certain education from just being with other students. And Even University level having campus life having said that i do love watching you life stream i like livestreaming from st. Patricks cathedral churches are wedge in new york city houses of worship opening 25 yesterday how do you prepare for this cardinal, we know that the battle going on right now, with the administration, says well, you know some states are saying you cant go to church but okay for you to go o protest and go walking, in protests weve seen last couple weeks. You will be surprised to here me say i would consider Church Worship religion essentially service immensely grateful to Faith Community the extraordinarily vigilant comes to probingings health we are in business protecting he health and internist we call that salvation the minute this started you march 14, we all said lets get ready for the reopening, lets figure out what were going to have to do, is to, we are in phase two, phase three all came into play, we were off and running, we were running towards first base and there, there havent been glitches i was at saturday night mass in harrison, it was beautiful. Only about a third of the church was filled proper sedansing sanitation being masks people as happy as could be to get back gradually coming back by end of summer i hope we are book to normal maria, you got a point, some people might say hey, i have sort of enjoyed saying home i think though we are going to see were going to see a a kind of an asendency, people recovered the value of faith miss it miss being with one another miss the personal the the answer i believe sacramental aspect of the mass and sacraments, prayers i think we are in for renewal. Maria agent we hope that there is a renewal, and thank you for all that youve done in terms of your leadership, you led the the the knew st. Patrick cathedral unfortunately we had ken have angone on other day, of course, a big sponsor helping to revitalize st. Patricks cathedral now it has vandalized sparked by death of o George Floyd Nypd arresting charging two as soon as he for to will vandaling the cathedral last night st. Johns church in washington attacked again terrible pictures to look at a sat story that we are all living through right now what is your reaction . It is very sad it is very sobering, because what you look at were examples anarchy, protesters thanks be to god overwhelming majority of protesters were not involved in such degrading episodes of the deface meant those violent protesters know what they are doing they know if you can chisel away cheapen deface a sign of what is most noble and uplifting in godlike in the human enterprise you are going to have some success, that is what they tried to do, with st. Patricks cathedral what they tried to do with st. John the divine shows extremes they will go to quite a bit of bring society the into a state of anarchy we cant let that triumph. What do you want to see how will you protect st. Patricks cathedral cardinal . Well thank god you he mentioned keep langone god bless him chair of Renovation Campaign said look we can put this treatment on the outside of the cathedral wont absorb pollution if ever graffiti we had taken that precaution the police he have been phenomenal the police, by the way, maria said to me cardinal, if we dont think it was antireligion we dont think anticatholic we dont think anticathedral we think they are ring up and down the street spraying any brick in sight you the there were no kind of antichurch statements they sprayed the police are good the people have been so protective of the cathedral, they have come through, especially especially in troubled time keep cathedral going i think we will be all right we go through these up heavals they dont prevail spatter idea in terms of renovation ensuringing graffiti not long lasting from ken langone and yourself cardinal Timothy Dolan may god bless you, thank you.
