Back to stores, restaurants and movie theaters while millions more remain under stayathome orders. Today i was prepared to announce further reopenings. That was the plan. Chris of one state backs off its plan to reopen after a spike in new cases. We will talk with the governor of mississippi, tate reeves. And new jersey governor phil murphy, whose state has the second highest death toll in the nation. Then, joe biden breaks his silence on Sexual Assault allegations. We will ask our sunday panel whether his denial puts the issue to rest. And our power player of the week from a teachers finding ways to connect with students from a distance. Fox news sunday. And hello again from fox news in washington. Two months into the coronavirus pandemic, some 30 states are now easing their locked on measures, even as cases here pass the 1. 1 million mark and Health Experts warn of a second wave, but there is a new medical breakthrough, the first drug that appears to help patients recover faster, now cleared for use by the fda. In a moment we will talk exclusively with dr. Deborah birx, coordinator of the White House Coronavirus task force. But first, lets bring in Mark Meredith with the latest on the patchwork reopening of this country. Mark. Fickle protesters in several states continue to demand that governors loosen Public Health restrictions, but some fear easing now may lead to a worse outbreak down the road. I know the people are itching to get back to work and i get it. Michigans governor is refusing to, even as governors and many other states say now the time is to reopen. Opening the parks backup is consistent with my safe, smart, stepbystep plan to reopen florida. Health officials had urged reopening only after reporting a 14 day decline in new cases, but without rich growing and job losses piling up, many governors are charting their own path. In texas, malls and wrecks runs are reopening with limited capacity. Were going to kind of slowed on the operations little bit and work with about 60 people. And pennsylvania golf courses are back open while in washington President Trump says hes considering economic retaliation against china. We are not happy obviously with what happened. Its alliesad situation. Have intelligence china intentionally destroyed evidence tied to the outbreak and even silence medical experts as the virus first began to spread. On friday the Labor Department will release the april draft report. White house Officials Say they expect the Unemployment Rate will skyrocket. Something President Trump could talk about a little bit more when he gets back from camp david, hes going to be coming back this afternoon. Fox news town hall later tonight. Chris. Chris Mark Meredith reporting from the white house, thank you. Joining us now, dr. Deborah birx, coordinator of the White House Coronavirus task force. Doctor, welcome to fox news sunday. Dr. Birx thank you. Chris where are we with the virus . Are we past the peak . Are we on the downslope now, and given that just a few days ago the white house was projecting 60,000 fatalities and we are already up to 66,000, how many more fatalities should we expect in country . Speech at, let meour projectionn between 100,240,000 american lives lost and thats with full medication and us learning from each other of how to social distance. Every single metro area and every single outbreak across the country is different and so whereas new orleans and now detroit and some of our other metros showing significant decline, others are just reaching steady state. We are encouraged that the new york and new jersey metro areas are starting to see a decline after a long, flat cur curve. Chris as we said, about half the states more than half the states have started in some way, shape, or form, reopening. But weve crunched the numbers, doctor, and not a single state has met the white house gating guidelines of two weeks of steady decline in new cases. Are you concerned about this patchwork reopening, and why leave it up the governors . Why not set a firm, if not binding, a Firm National policy on one states can reopen . Dr. Birx i think federal guidelines are a pretty firm policy of what we think is important from a Public Health standpoint. We also made it possible for states to open counties independently of the entire state, because again, some of these outbreaks are very local and have to be studied and understood that way. And so as states reopen, we really want them to follow the gating criteria but we also made it very clear to the American People, this is what you need to continue to do to protect yourself. You need to continue to social distance. You need to continue to practice scrupulous hand washing. You need to know where your hands and where they have been and what they have touched and make sure you dont touch her face and i think most importantly, if you have any preexisting conditions, through phase one and phase two go of any reopening, we have asked you to continue to shelter in place. We know whos a particular risk for a very difficult course with this virus and we cannot emphasize enough how strongly we feel if you have a coexisting condition to continue to shelter in place. Chris but clearly when you leave it up to individual governors and governors are not observing the two week decline before they open, that sounds a very mixed message to a lot of those individuals youre talking about appealing to. I want to play something that dr. Anthony fauci, your colleague on the task force, said this week. Here it is. Would give the governors the opportunity to be very flexible, but you have to have the Core Principles of the guidelines. You cant just leap over things and get into a situation where you are really tempting a rebound. Chris do you share dr. Faucis guidelines about this patchwork reopening that some governors, some sa rebound . Dr. Birx we made it very clear that the guidelines are based on very strong evidence and data and that is the way dr. Fauci has also driven. We want to make sure that every individual, every employer, and every person knows how to keep themselves safe in this situation. Weve made it clear with the gating criteria as we passed every governor, because i know theyre also concerned about every Single Person in their state. Weve asked every governor to post on the website and on a dashboard where exactly they are in the gating criteria, but also to make all the Information Available to the public and to have sites sophisticated sites like florida does that many other like massachusetts does, so people can see where the viruses in their community, because an educated community can really take action to understand how to protect themselves. Chris well, lets talk about how educated some of the communities are. Im going to do a lightning rod, quick questions, quick answers, about some of the activities that people are engaging in around the country. First of all, california, where this past week thousands of people were massing on beaches in very close quarters. Simple question, is that safe . Dr. Birx if its done with social distancing, yes, if its not done with social distancing, no. Chris well, i dont love you can see the video, there was no social distancing, which was one of the reasons the governor shot those beaches. Lets talk about a different issue because we are seeing a lot of governors open up things like beauty salons or spas were people come into very close contact. If youre getting a haircut, a massage with each other. Question, if both sides, both parties, are wearing masks, is that safe . Dr. Birx its safer, but weve made it clear that that is not a good phase one activity and i think the president has made that clear when he discussed the case in georgia. Chris well, you know thats happening all over the country right now. Let me ask about one more activity. Big crowds of protesters that went into the Michigan State capital without masks, massing together in close quarters. Im not asking you about the First Amendment right to protest, that of course they have. From a Public Health standpoint, is that safe . Dr. Birx its devastatingly worrisome to me personally because if they go home and infects the grandmother or the grandfather who has a comorbid condition and they have a serious or an unfortunate outcome, they will feel guilty for the rest of our lives. So we need to protect each other at the same time where voicing our discontent. Chris lets talk about remdesivir, the fda gave emergency approval to use of this drug to help people have the virus. Is it a Silver Bullet in terms of reducing lethality, keeping people from dying and also in terms of side effects. Dr. Birx well first, its only half the data and th the dy safe to modern board and independent groups thought that the improvement was compelling enough and significantly enough to actually say that they couldnt continue the trial as it was in the placebo arm had to receive the effective drug. So its a first step forward. In parallel, we have a whole series of therapeutics including plasma and also monoclonal antibodies being worked through. We are concentrating on vaccines as well as therapeutic bridges to ensure that the American People and do well with this virus eventually. We really want to ensure the spell therapeutic available and Vaccines Available rapidly. Chris then theres operation warp speed, which is the trump administrations effort to try to develop a vaccine by next january. You and dr. Fauci have talked sort of the rule of thumb is 12 months to 18 months, that would be considerably shorter than that timetable. Next january, is that realistic . Speak of the way that its possible is if you bring forward five or six different classes of candidates, which the operation warp speed has done. And so its not relying on a single vaccine platform. Its relying on several different candidates that are made differently had asked differently and then its about doing compressed phase one, phase two, phase three trials in an overlapping way, moving forward when you have a good safety not with the level of pauses that are often present in vaccine development, and so on paper its possible. Its whether we can execute and execute around the globe because you also, for phase three, have to have active viral transmission in the community in order to study its efficacy. Chris finally, doctor, ive got about a minute left, there is a new report out of australia this weekend that five intelligence agencies, including the u. S. , have put together a dossier that indicates that the Chinese Government in the early stages either head or covered up the fact of the coronavirus and its spread in japan. Im not going to ask you to comment in any way on intelligence, but from a Public Health standpoint, the lack of transparency from china in the early days, in january, february, even into march, did that slowed on the Public Health response in this country . Dr. Birx wherever that first jump occurs, whether its from animal to human or lab to human, it doesnt really matter, whoever, wherever that happens, you have to over communicate, because thats when you get the first instance of how transmittable this viruses. One of the people that its particularly susceptible to . That didnt happen and it didnt happen until late and you know it didnt happen until midjanuary they even talked about human to human transmission. And that really and when you see how many countries now are infected, that did spend the virus across the globe. Chris dr. Birx, thank you, thanks for your time during these very busy days and, doctor, please come back. Up next, the white house social distance guidelines have now expired and most states are starting to lift their stayathome orders. We will talk with two governors facing very different situations. Thats next. To keep customers and employees in the know. To keep business moving. Comcast business is prepared for times like these. Powered by the nations largest gigspeed network.

Weve always believed in the power of working together. Thats why, when every connection counts. You can count on us. [woman hummi g to all you need is love and instrumental music] love is all you need. Chris many states across the country are beginning to relax restrictions and get back to business, while others are more cautious about lifting stayathome orders. We want to discuss the patchwork of reopenings in hardhit new jersey, governor phil murphy, but first to mississippi and governor tate reeves. Governor, you already have gone from a stayathome order to a safer athome order and you were going to lift that, lift up the restrictions even a little bit more on friday, two days ago, until you saw a new spike in cases in your state, so where are you now in mississippi . Governor reeves well thank you for having me on, chris. What i will tell you is we had a one day spike. We went up to 392 cases that reported early friday morning. We didnt have time to analyze the data before we made the announcement and we are trying to be very cautious and so we said lets analyze the data over the weekend and what we have found is that it was really a data dump. We got a large number of tests that came in from outofstate private labs. But we found is yesterday we reported 220 new cases. This morning or later today we will report less than 110 new cases, so it was a oneday blip, but we wanted to make sure we investigate that data before we make a final decision, so we delayed it. Chris i want to put up a number of new cases youve had over this past week, because thats what the white house guidelines say you should look at youll see that you went from 281 cases a week ago friday down to 183 and then back up pretty sharply, even before you hit that 397 figure two days ago, which raises the question, what i was asking dr. Birx, governor, why are you reopening mississippi at all when you havent met the white house guidelines of a steady downward trajectory for two straight weeks . Governor reeves well, thats a great question, and its a fair question and what i would tell you is you have to understand that mississippi is different than new york and mississippi is different than new jersey. In those two instances by the way, my neighbor to the west was the same in louisiana. They had a huge spike in cases over a very short period of time but mississippi is not like that. What we have seen, for the last 3540 days, with ben between 20300 cases without a spike. Our Hospital System is not stressed. We have less than 100 people in our state on ventilators so as i talk to the president , the Vice President in the Coronavirus Task force, i spoke personally with dr. Birx and we agree that sometimes the models are just different for different states, just like theyre different for various counties and we believe that that particular gating criteria just doesnt work in states like ours, who have never had more than 300 cases in any one day with the exception of friday and that data dump. Chris governor, we think of protests as something happening in blue democratic states, but in fact, last weekend, you had a demonstration outside the Governors Mansion in jackson, mississippi. People demanding a total reopening. As the republican governor of a red state, what do you think of those protests and what you say to those people . Governor reeves i think a fundamental right of our government is to be able to protest our leaders and you know, most of the people that were protesting voted for me last year. We had election in 2019 and most of them were for me but youve got to understand, chris, we have a Public Health crisis in this country. We also have an economic crisis. When i look at those protesters, i know they were protesting for the 200,000 mississippians that have lost their jobs in the last six weeks. We have an economic crisis in the shortterm, we have a longterm economic crisis thats going to be very difficult for these country and i understand that i feel their pain and were doing everything in our power to get our state back open as soon as possible. Chris youve also got a fight with your republican state controlled legislature. I want to point out, same party as you are. The legislature which has voted to strip you of Sole Authority to spend the 1 billion plus in federal aid to your state that congress voted. You have Sole Authority, they voted to strip you, they passed the bill. First of all, what are we to make of this controversy, and secondly, are you going to veto the bill and maintain Sole Authority . Governor reeves its an absolute terrible tragedy that they have tried to do this particular power grab in the middle of an emergency. We have had longstanding, fortyyear laws and mississippi which recognized that in an emergency, youve got to have an executive. Youve got to have someone that makes decisions and gets things done. The monies of the care zachary said to the state is said to the governor so we could get money out of our people. We dont have time for committee meetings. If we dont have time for committee hearings. We dont sign for politicians to cut deals. What we needed mississippi is to get that money in the pocket of the 200,000 mississippians who have lost their jobs. Im terribly disappointed in our legislative leadership. I think they made a huge mistake. If that was round one in this battle but we are going to continue fighting it because were going to stand up for the people of this state. Chris purchased briefly, are you going to veto the bill they passed . Governor reeves we are deciding what we are going to do right now. We have a couple of days to do that and we will make a decision in the coming days. Chris governor reeves, thank you. We wish you and the residents of your state of mississippi the very best during these tough times, thank you, governor. Now lets turn to new jersey and governor phil murphy. Governor, new jersey is in a different situation, obviously, then mississippi. Youre under almost total lockdown. This weekend your reopening parks and some golf courses, but youre not reopening your stat states famous beaches. Question, what are the chances that youre going to be in a very different state and largely reopen, memorial day on the start of summer . Governor murphy listen, ill be the happiest guy in new jersey if not america if we are. I think its too early to tell. For lots of reasons, including our neighbors, we are in a different place than we were d county parks this weekend. As you rightly pointed out. I have to say yesterday the reports and, compliance was very high in terms of social distancing and not congregating. That sort of behavior as we flatten the curves and remember, weve been crushed, over 7,700 people have died in new jersey from covid19, but as we push these curves down and folks continue to comply and keep social distancing, thats the best weapon weve got to get the best outcome by the time we do get to memorial day. Chris e. U. , as youve just pointed out, your state has the secondhighest number of cases in the country to new york. If the secondhighest number of deaths and just this past week new jersey, your state, has rootsingle highest deaths. Like other governors, as governor reeves doesnt mississippi, saying hey, its time to reopen. This protesters are out on the street, what do you say to them . Governor murphy i dont begrudge the writer protest. I wish they wouldvirtually unsa. Our Biggest Issue is they were congregating without face masks, but the overwhelming amount of folks in our state believe that we are on the right path and its painful. I mean, folks have been staying in now for weeks, the stayathome reality has been with us for many, many weeks. And partly the state park step we took was for Mental Health reasons, for folks to get out to be able to get some fresh air and be able to stay away from each other. I dont begrudge folks right to protest but weve got to call quicker to make our decisions based on the science, the data, the facts and they all suggest as you rightfully point out, we are not out of this yet. The fatalities, bless their souls, we have to point out are folks who were infected in some number of weeks ago, so in the here and now, hospitalizations are down, ventilator use is down, the positive curve testing curve is flattening. But we are not in the end zone yet. Chris i want to pick up on the question of science. You said six principles for reopening of the first of your six principles, the first principle, is that there has to be, as dr. Birx had talked about, the steady decline in new cases for 14 days. You havent reached it. As best we can tell, not a single state has reached it and get a number of your fellow governors have started to reopen their states. You said this week data drives dates. Are some of your fellow governments making a mistake not being driven by the data . Governor murphy listen, chris. My noses pressed against the new jersey glass, honestly, so i cant speak for what theyre looking at. I do know in our state and as we coordinate with our regional partners, most notably our neighbors new york, pennsylvania, delaware, we have to make the call based on data and where the densest state america and this region is the densest region in america. Our Northern Counties were part of the new york city and remain so of the new york city metro flareup of the soul virus, so weve got to be exceedingly careful and is much as i want to open things back up tomorrow, we are just not. And weve got to make these calls, particularly given our density based on the facts. Chris a couple of more questions i want to get in with you, governor. You met with President Trump this week and i think its fair to say that youre Getting Along Better with the president than almost any other democratic governor. He announced this week ascending new jersey half a million new tests, 750,000 swabs. Do you think that your good personal relationship with the president has made a difference in terms of what new jersey has gotten . Listen, we free be able to find Common Ground. Make no doubt about it, the president knows new jersey. He and his team have been extremely responsive in our hour of need, whether its ventilators, as you rightly point out we got a huge amount of supplies to test. We are getting personal protective equipment, just the other day confirmed direct to our nursing homes. We Just Announced 1. 7 billion into our Hospital Systems. Listen, i think weve been able to find Common Ground again based on the science, based on the facts and reality and in our hour of need, i have to think the president and his team, theyve been there for us and i appreciate that enormously. Chris one area however, governor, where you havent gotten help either from the president or from senate republicans, is on the question is state aid, federally passed by congress, signed by the president to go to states like yours to pay for first responders, teachers and all the services, the huge revenue hit that youve taken because of the coronavirus. You said this week, your word that if you dont get state aid, its going to be armageddon. Governor murphy listen, we had a very good conversation about this, i have to say, with the president , but thats the facts. This isnt about the old legacy stuff. We spent taking care of that. This is about firefighters, police, ems, teachers at the point of attack, we are already seeing some layoffs in new jersey. We need a big slug of federal direct cash assistance and its not just new jersey and its not just blue states. And it would make a huge difference. It clearly would be a huge won for the residents who are being served. It would be a huge won for those firstline responders and their families, working families. Id say frankly its a huge won for the president to be able to say with this cash assistance we were able to keep surfing folks across the country. Both red and blue states and we kept folks employed at a time where we desperately need to keep folks employed. Spell governor murphy, thank you, thanks for joining us today and good luck to you the residents of your state of new jersey, thank you, sir. Up next, we are going bring in our sunday group to discuss the debate over when and how to reopen and get back to something approaching normal. Four plus one is. 16. laughter times. Ten. So, wait. errhhhhh do you want to show us the continents on the. No. It is not going good. My mom is getting stressed out. speaks hebrew mommas tired. I, im, like. Woooo. screams sighs heavily so, starting just quickly by breathing in. I never thought id say this, but i kind of miss school the teachers, i mean, yall are gifted people i thank you so much for what youre doing. Their investment into our children is beyond what we can even imagine. Appreciate all that you do. Chris coming up, President Trump flynn about the new detailing about the handling of his case. I think you will be fully exonerated one where the other so we will be capable of coming back. He has suffered greatly. Chris we will this is kind of a first. For all of us. But maybe this is a time to put other things. First. Like being the first to check in. Or the first to try you hand at the culinary arts. Or all the arts. Be the first to volunteer. Or the first to say its all going to be okay. And when the day comes, when were no longer looking at our worlds from the inside out. It will be what we did in here that will make us stronger out there. This virus is testing all of us. And its testing the people on the front lines of this fight most of all. So abbott is getting new tests into their hands, delivering the critical results they need. And until this fight is over, we. Will. Never. Quit. Because they never quit. Have to have safety, but at the same time, people want this country open. The people here want it open. I think that weve achieved all the different milestones that are needed, so the federal government rose to the challenge and this is a Great Success story. Chris President Trump and his soninlaw and advisor Jared Kushner turning the page on the messaging coming from the white house these days. And its time now for sunday group. Anchor of the daily briefing, dana perino. Marie harf and guy benson of fox news radio. Dana, the president and his team are clearly now pushing this its time to start reopening the country narrative, but as we pointed out, not a single state even though bunch of states of reopening, not a single state has met the white house gating guidelines of two weeks of steady decline in new cases before youre supposed to go to phase one and recent polls show that when people are asked to choose, theyre more concerned about safety, even if it means staying sheltered for a while longer, than reopening. At least thats what the public polls say. I guess my question is how big a risk getting the president is taking and pushing, at this point, as much as he is for reopening . Has to do from the very beginning, which was, how do you convince people to all Work Together to flatten the curve and america really did respond quite well into saw that the curves flattening in many places, but now thats a bit of a plateau. What do we do if theres a plateau . And in the meantime, you have all of these people you said earlier, chris, 66,000 people who have died in one other thing thats really on the hearts of the people who have lost loved one is those people mostly to die alone because of social distancing guidelines, they couldnt be there to hold their loved ones hands when they died. So theres grief on that end, but at the same time, theres no doubt the economy and the Economic Impacts of this are devastating. When you have car lines up to 6 miles in san antonio for people to get food these are people who were working through it were of their own they find themselves in their position, they probably never ask the government or a charity for help and are looking at this saying theres no problems at my hospital, but doctors and nurses are being laid off because theres no elective surgery. You just heard from governor murphy, who said theyre seeing that firefighters, Police Officers are starting to be laid off in these states, so its going to be very important for the president to figure out how to strike the balance, and i think theres one thing that they can do in terms of saying what a great job babe god so far but they also need to be very clear eyed with everyone in the country about the challenges we face because they are enormous. Chris marie, lets talk about it though, because you do see republican governors pushing, moving to reopen their states. You do see these growing protests in the street. So i mean, there is a push to get the country going again and obviously the 66,000 people who have died and even the million with the new cases, but you know, were talking about 30 Million People in the last six weeks who have lost their jobs. It was so interesting hearing the governor of mississippi talking about how when he got new data he changed his plans. When he had scheduled to reopen parts of the economy. So we are about to embark on a situation where we will see if people can, on their own cobra social distance. Independent of government regulations orders can act responsibly. And if we can, if we see spikes in some of these places, will these governors be willing to change course in midstream . That something we will see together in realtime. But the bottom line is we still made more testing, we still made more contact tracing. We still need more therapeutic treatments, you her dr. Birx, weaver dr. Fauci talk about that until the the economy, even if we open nail salons, health salons, chris, the economy isnt really going to get going again until we can travel, until we can move around the country. It will not get going again in a real meaningful way by opening Small Businesses in certain places and so we have to get all of those things i just mentioned to eventually get to a place where the economy really can open back up. That is not happening anytime soon. Chris here is one of the republican governors, Florida Governor ron desantis talking this week as he was starting to reopen his state, take a look. What is our biggest obstacle . Fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear sparked by constant doom and gloom and hysteria that has permeated our culture for the last six weeks. Chris die, you know its awfully interesting, as the virus begins to wane at least a little bit, we see and maybe its because people feel freer to do it, the politics starting to resume and to grow and youve got a red state governors not all of them, which is pointed out tate reeves, who made a switch when he saw the data of a spike in cases in mississippi but generally speaking red state governors pushing more for reopening, boosted governors talking about leaving the restrictions on longer. Its a very interesting dichotomy and it really follows a political breakdown. Although there happened governors, chris, on the democratic side who are part of this first round of reopening efforts as well. So its not perfectly red and blue, i think some of it is regional. Think some of it is based on the data that we her dr. Birx talk about, which is different in these various states, but i think the clip from governor desantis, if you watch that entire speech that he gave, he was really juxtaposing the predictions of the numbers in florida, which were horrific, versus the numbers that we are actually seeing in florida, which are still very sad, every death is horrible, but nowhere near what the projections had shown. And so i think he was saying that we have to keep our heads, wept to keep in proper perspective and remember, we were told that xy and c were going to happen, but we are seeing is a bnc, thats try and balance this properly. It is he of course agree for the 66 plus thousand americans who have died. There are concerns that those numbers are still going up in certain areas more than others, but you talk to even Small Business owners who had thriving businesses, who did everything right and were doing everything well and now theyre wondering n we ever reopen. Whats going to happenats goiny employees lives . Is also humanitarian crisis that is very acute for a lot of people who are sitting in studios like we are and who are looking every day very anxiously, when can this happen again . I think the biggest component is one of the American People feel confident to reopen the economy, because some of these businesses reopened and had very few customers because people still arent confident in this sort of juggling act continues and its very painful. Chris all right, panel, we have to take a break here, but when we come back, joe biden denies a Sexual Assault allegation and calls on the National Archives to release his personnel records. We will discuss the impact on the 2020 race next. Up and down. Depression to exuberance. And you could name many, many cycles like that over the years. My generation, having come through so many wars and so many things. Persistence. Its the heartbeat of this country. Stick with it. Its only human to find inspiration in nature. And also find answers. Our search to transform. Farm waste into renewable natural gas led chevron to partner with california bioenergy. Working to provide an alternative source of power. For a cleaner way forward. The facts of this case do not exist, they never happened. And theres so many inconsistencies in what has been said in this case, so yes, look at the facts and i assure you it did not happen, period. Chris Presumptive Democratic president ial nominee joe biden on friday flatly denying the allegation he sexually assaulted with the panel. Guy, whatd you think of joe bidens denial on friday . Doesnt end this controversy . And given the fact that several women have made similar allegations against donald trump, how big a role does it play in the 2020 election . I dont think that its over because there are more questions i think they need to be asked and answered on this front. I just find it very interesting, chris, that after we are having this discussion about divine low, i watched the interview. I think he preserves the mic deserves the perception of emesis. Thats how things work in this country. I would say on one hand there is significantly more contemporaneous evidence againse time that this happened in the the phone call her mother placed to larry king live, far more evidence against biden in there ever was against Brett Kavanaugh, but im not sure its decisive, and i think that for us to all pylon and i see some people saying biden should drop out of the race, a lot of people on the far left and some people on the right, i dont think that thats fair because i dont think we know what happened. Theres a lot of murkiness and there are inconsistencies in reades stories, but anyone who is rediscovering skepticism and importance of evidence and looking at inconsistencies in stories, thats fine, but if they had a different standard for Brett Kavanaugh, many, many on the left did and in the media, they owe kavanaugh an apology. Chris i want to pick up on that with you, marie, because during the Brett Kavanaugh case there were a lot of democrats, especially a lot of leading Democratic Women in congress and just in public life for saying women must believed, women must be taken seriously and a lot of those same women said that they stood with joe biden on these allegations before biden even deny the allegations on friday. I mean, isnt that hypocrisy . What many women on the democratic side were saying with Brett Kavanaugh at the time was that they wanted a full fbi investigation and that believing women means taking their claims seriously and investigating them and joe biden himself has come out uncalled for for an accusations. He has asked the Senate Secretary who would have any any files like that, to comb through the records. Thats a level of transparency that not many politicians have had when theyve been accused of Sexual Assault, and so for someone who went through a very thorough vetting is the Vice President did when he was running with president obama, with candidate obama, none of this ever came up, nothing like this is never been rumored to be the case, certainly, for someone who has been this vetted. The Vice President had said look, investigate it. Thats what believing womans means, taking it seriously and investigating it and in this case there is no concrete evidence at all of assault. Chris im going to call an audible here and lets move to another big story this week am and thats the of general Michael Flynn, who pled guilty for lying he pled guilty twice for lying to the fbi. This week new documents came out that indicated that before they interviewed Michael Flynn, the fbi talked about seeing if they could catch him in a lot somatic y into his press secretary . Many on this issue on friday. Im glad they kept such good documentation of their attempt to select general flynn into attract to a trap, essentially greatnesrave miscarriage of jus. Chris from what you see is this a miscarriage of justice that would happen to Michael Flynn and particularly given what we are now learning about the fbi, and what you make of the president s talk that he would at least consider bringing Michael Flynn, who may fired because he had allegedly lied to the Vice President , bringing him back into the white house . I think we might be over reading the president s answer on that a little bit. He never likes to close off possibilities for him in the future, so i dont think that he was saying im definitely going to bring Michael Flynn back but he has maintained from the beginning that this is a good man, a war hero. Somebody who is treated unfairly by the Justice Department and i think that everybody should be able to look at the attorney general William Barrs decision here to ask the u. S. Attorney to give this a fair review and release documents because there is question, so we have those documents so far, the investigation is ongoing. Method judge also has some decisions to make in the case. What happened next . Do they withdraw the case with the Justice Department try to reprosecute . And i also think that there are still some questions about how this all happened in the first place and you know, there are political appointees at the Justice Department and the fbi from the Previous Administration who have been very quiet and i think in this investigation, theyre probably going to have to come out and explain a little bit more if they want to help all of us understand what in the world was going on back then. Chris marie, what do you think of the fbi documents that were released this week and the claim by some people that they exonerate general flynn and as you just heard Kayleigh Mcenany say that this was a miscarriage of justice . Well, they certainly dont exonerate Michael Flynn and i think the documents show an fbi that was trying to figure out the best way to handle a very politically sensitive investigation with Michael Flynn in the bottom line is that Michael Flynn lied not just to the Vice President , but to the fbi. He is a highly trained military intelligence officer, chris, hes not someone whos taken for a ride or a rube, he is not stupid. He decided when he had the choice, when he was required to tell the truth under oath, he decided to live. He pled guilty to it, so whatever internal deliberations the fbi was having, that still remains the fact. Chris are you troubled at all by these documents that we are seeing now in which people are discussing, you know, we are going to interview flynn and, you know, should we try to catch him in a life also, should we get him fired, which seems like an odd thing for a Law Enforcement agency to do . If they nothing in those documents the troubles you . Theres nothing in these documents that shows me this is a politically motivated investigation. Theyre asking questions about how to handle that. If that happens all the time in fbi investigations. Michael flynn is the one who chose to lie about his contact with foreign governments, including the russians, so course i want more information about this, chris, but nothing ive seen tells me that this wasnt a good investigation. Chris guy, your thoughts about the overall investigation of Michael Flynn and what we learned or didnt learn this week about it . I think a big question is why that interview took place at all. And if you read kimberley strassels column in the wall street journal, it is pretty devastating. I think its totally possible to say he was railroaded and there was misconduct at the fbi but also to maries point, he didnt choose to lie to the Vice President. He did have some barely shady dealings with the government, maybe you shouldnt have been that position in the first place, seek maybe say perhaps it wasnt the best pick for National Security advisor, that doesnt mean there wasnt abuse and i think some of the documents we saw this week. 2 abuse. Chris well, weve got about 30 seconds, what are you most troubled by . Where do you see possible abuse . I think mostly its the pretenses under which that interview was set up in the first place. Right, where they were basically saying and the former fbi director james comey admitted this, something director using a chaotic new white house to sort of get this fbi investigation to come to the white house doorstep and adjust the notes in the actual documents about saying trying to get him to lie, try to get him fired, it doesnt smell great.
