Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Americas Newsroom 20200507

Trade center. Theres never been an attack like this. And it should have never happened. Sandra meanwhile, more states are moving to reopen their economies. Montana, michigan, mississippi, maryland, vermont and hawaii all planning to ease restrictions today. We will have much more on all of this coming up. But first, brandnew questions about the handling of the russia probe. The Justice Department releasing a longawaited memo, one that reveals the scope of the Mueller Investigation was much broader than originally thought. Good morning everyone, im sandra smith. Ed very pleasant good morning to you, im ed henry. That memo set on august 17. Clear the Trump Campaign of collusion with russia. Sandra louisiana senator john kennedy, member of the judiciary committee. Lots to get to this morning. First i will ask about this longawaited release, unless rejected merck version of this memo. What have you been able to conclude about the scope of the Mueller Investigation from what was originally known . Let me talk about the scope memo first and then id like to talk about the revelations regarding chairman schiff. I wasnt as surprised by the scope memo, i think based on what i observed and what the American People observed throughout the Mueller Investigation, it always appeared that they were just after a scout. When he testified before congress, i think it became clear to many that he was not in charge daytoday of his investigation. His team that he put together. And they were after a scout. In terms of chairman schiff, its just terrible. What they just revealed about him is third world country stuff. His investigators called 53 witnesses in secret, not a single one of them said that there was any collusion. In fact they all said we dont have any evidence of collusion, it was all done in secret. Chairman schiff knew it and read the transcripts and he walked out in front of god and country on the American People and set i have direct evidence of collusion. Now if you and i lied to congress, its perjury. If Congress Lies to us, its politics. Its third world country stuff. And the whole time, chairman schiff is lecturing all of us about the rule of law. And he is lying to the American People. You know, an ounce of hypocrisy is worth a pound of ambition, thats an old saying. I dont know who said it but she was a smart person. To me, what are we going to do about it . This is on top of the carter page staff, every thing else we have heard, general flynn stuff, and congress hasnt done anything. All weve done is strut around and talked and issued press releases. I hope we prove yesterday that we can hold safe hearings where we are apart and people can participate by zoom if they want to. We need to start hearings now, like yesterday. Thats my opinion. Sandra let me ask you more about that in just a moment, but first just to give everyone an idea of some of the words that were revealed in that less redacted memo, this was the Rod Rosenstein memo dated auguss to the scope of the russia probe senator kennedy. Any links or coordination between the russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump and, number two, any matters that arose or may arise directly from that investigation. This was just some of what was revealed that showed that the scope was much broader than you or i or members of congress or the American Public initially new. Fox news is being told by a Senior Administration official, senator kennedy, that to your point, adam schiff is in panic mode. You went back to his past statements that there was direct evidence of collusion. I hear you calling on your own colleagues asking the question, what are you going to do about it . So what are you going to do about it . First of all we need to call all these people and put them under oath. On rosensteins memo, the way i read that memo it basically said, go find me something, give me a scout. It became clear to me throughout the entire investigation that that is what mr. Mullers team was doing. I dont know whether mr. Miller was all that involved. But in terms of what adam did, congressman schiff, thats third world country stuff. To gather evidence from 53 witnesses, that they deposed in secret, under oath. They said nope, theres nothing there. And he goes out and says i had direct evidence. Now thats not right. A disagreement is fine in a democracy but this isnt disagreement, this is persecution. These werent investigations, they werent prosecutions, they were persecutions. Where is the fbi . Where is the department of justice on this . I mean, bill barr has been the person thats been the most active but the hits just keep on coming here. And nothing gets done. Look, apparently its easier to divorce your spouse up here then to fire somebody. And nobody gets fired or anything. Sandra i know the American People have Big Questions about all of that. They should. Sandra how those held responsible will be accountable. I want to transition to whats happening in your state of louisiana. I know this was hardhit during the pandemic. Some of your details on your bill of state aid to giving the states flexibility on funding when it comes to the care act. I will throw the details up on the screen but how is your state doing and how are you responding to get the state at a local level out of this, senator kennedy . While things are better in louisiana. Our governor has postponed of the opening of our economy and i think in many respects he forgot to get the peoples compliance there. Im not sure governor edwards can hold them until may 15th which is the next date hes going to consider. But in terms of your question about the money. Look. There are all kinds of bills flying around here, its like a labor day mattress sale. One group wants to get the states 500 billion and Speaker Pelosi wants to give them a trillion. Weve already spent 3 trillion and we dont even have 5 of that. Part of the carriers act, we gave a huge amount of money to state and local government already but we just put restrictions on what they could spend on. I have a bill that i think will pass if senator mcconnell will let it come to the floor. It says look. We will take off some of the restrictions of the money we have given to the state and local government so they cant use it to go fill up their Pension Plans but they can use it to fill gaps in their budget. The monies already appropriated, its not new money. My state has gotten money for state and local government, higher education, Public Schools and hospitals, extra medicaid money, like two and a half or 3 billion. The only complaint i hear primarily from my state is, we are limited in what we can spend it on and im going to try to give them the flexibility before we start spending another Million Dollars like the speaker wants to. Sandra keep us posted on that senator kennedy as we watch your state and other states climb out of this and see all those folks get back to work. Senator kennedy, we appreciate your time, thanks so much. Thank you, sandra. Ed the republican led to admit Michigan Legislature now this suing democratic Governor Whitmer seeking to enter restrictions after she extended the state of emergency last week. Mike tobin is live with details. Good morning. They telegraphed this punch when they approved resolution giving the okay to sue democratic governor gretchen whitmer. The Governors State of emergency expired at the end of last month and she went to the legislature looking for an extension and republicans in michigan refuse that extension so she did it by executive order. They approved the resolution to sue and yesterday that suit went into the Michigan Court of claims. The House Speaker and senate are arguing that she is using power she doesnt have. Witmer has faced substantial protest through this process as opponent said shes been heavyhanded and arbitrary with restrictions and the restrictions treat Population Centers on detroit the same as rural parts of the state. What i cant do is negotiate like this is a political issue, its a Public Health issue. I need to listen to the epidemiologist and the Health Experts in our state and across our country and thats precisely what im doing. Witmer argues her restrictions are to protect the citizens of the state and she has the state, in support of the attorney general. The Department Chair called the lawsuit at dog and pony show which will waste the courts time and the taxpayers dime. Michigan has one of the worst outbreaks in the nation is over 4,000 deaths. Ed mike tobin, thank you. Sandra . Sandra how three marines on an International Flight took matters into their own hands when a disruptive passenger started threatening people on board. Plus, a new poll on whether americans believe the Sexual Assault allegations against joe biden and what it could mean for his president ial campaign. We will hear from former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich on that, next. Fifty years ago, humpback whales were nearly extinct. They rebounded because a decision was made to protect them.

Sandra three fastacting marines on the flight from tokyo to dallas subduing a passenger was screaming and making threatening comments. The passenger had reportedly barricaded himself in the airplanes bathroom and the marines restrained him and subdued him with flex ties. Mobile the live report in the next hour on that. What a story. Ed it really is. You see that play out, there are obviously not a lot of people on planes these days and then an incident like this happen and then you wonder whats behind it but those marines acting quickly and doing what they do best. Sandra lets take a quick look at the markets this morning as we look for another positive open on wall street. The big board should reveal again 13 minutes from now and there is optimism as we see more states reopening this morning and seen people get back to wo work. Youve got a market predicting there is the dow future, up 316 points this morning. You got large expectations that things are going well as states start to reopen. Ed and even as that happens, as weve been talking about, the number of people unemployed continues to increase in this country. We just got that, 3. 2 million laidoff workers applying for unemployment claims this week but as youve been noting many times, a lot of that has been baked in and the markets are hoping that its going to get better as the days go on. Sandra remarkable when you look at those tens of millions of people out of work in the month of april alone, using their jobs. What its going to take to get all those americans back into their roles could take some time but you have the white house as you know predicting a sharp bounce back and return to the economy that we saw before this pandemic set in. The optimism is there in the stock market and we will be watching for that opening bell this morning. Ed absolutely. The economy is the front and center of the 2020 campaign. Americans sharply divided over the allegations against joe biden. A new monmouth poll asking whether the Sexual Assault allegations are true. If found, its close to a three way to tie of probably true, not true and, i dont know. The probably trues coming out slightly ahead. With us now is Newt Gingrich, also a Fox News Contributor. Good morning mr. Speaker. Ed at the least, the fact that folks are divided like this at least shows that that interview that joe biden did last week to try to turn the page on this didnt quite work out. I think he has a unique challenge because the left wing of the Democratic Party has made such an enormous effort on these kind of attacks. So you look at what they did last year due to the proposed Supreme Court justice, look what happened to senator franken in minnesota. They really have a deep emotional commitment and i think biden is not meeting that commitment. So what has happened is people first ignored it and then people on the left began to write about it and then as they listen to themselves they begin to get more upset about it though theyve been writing more about it. And since hes caught in the trap i believe there was a blog written about the age of hysteria. We are faced with enormous challenges in terms of the chinese, the coronavirus, the economy, and we are trapped into this kind of endless repetitive news cycle and i think that is what biden is trapped in. Hes got to figure out an answer that will satisfy his left, where this will just be a running sore until election and thats a very big challenge for him. Ed heres dan henning here today, prevented moral trumping against as a political weapon against their enemies and now theyve exhausting exhausted it. Political moralism is losing its punch. Other than democrats downloading pro forma support against joe biden, hardly anyone cares one way or the other but his guilt or is innocence or about his accuser. In fact you are seeing some of the left saying, i kind of belief that tara reade is telling the truth but i dont care because i want him to be donald trump. I thought the letter by the reporter from politico that basically said i dont want an investigation, i want a coronation. Please dont report anything about joe biden. I thought that was the most honest reporter on the left that id seen in a long time because he laid it all out. Hes not going to cover anything negative about joe biden if he can avoid it and i thought that was refreshingly honest, give and if its a little disturbing in terms of an honest media. I think this is a peculiar problem on the left because this is what i have staked their claim to and its a little bit like florence in the middle ages, you start establishing a standard thats impossible and then you find yourself caught up in your own standard and then suddenly the crowd starts to turn on you. I think now the democrats have a very significant challenge ahead of them. Biden has to find an answer and part of it is going to be that he has to release documents which is actually probably better for him even if the documents prove that tara reade is telling the truth. Its probably better for him to get it out in the open now rather than this drip drip drip attack for the entire rest of the spring and summer. Ed dr. Bill bennett was on special report last night suggesting he thinks theres a 50 50 chance that biden wont even be the nominee. This following that oped from a couple of days ago suggesting democrats can turn to plan b. Is it too late for them t to do that . Its impossible. Biden ran in every primary and is one millions and millions of votes but the only person who could plausibly replace him as Bernie Sanders who ran in every primary and one millions and millions of votes. The idea that someone is not contested a comfort not attempted, not been out there and not one a single vote is somehow going to be imposed on the party by who . What magic secret group will do this . Biden will be the democratic nominee because its virtually impossible. And people would be so offended, i think it would be utterly impossible. Ed Bernie Sanders might be upset about that as well. We appreciate your insights, thanks for coming on. Sandra . Sandra as we mentioned we are moments away from the opening bell on wall street and we get a brandnew look at the economic told of this pandemic has had as more than 3 million americans file for jobless claims last week alone.

Ed an emotional response from the mother of a young man who shot and killed by two white men while he was jogging in a georgia neighborhood. His parents are demanding arrests in the case after cell phone video appears to show the Fatal Shooting. Jonathan serrie is live in atlanta this morning with more details. Hi, there, eddie. This shooting took place on february 23rd and no arrests were made, and then at cellular phone video appeared on the internet and it went viral. The video appears to show a black man jogging down a brunswick, georgia road and he is confronted by two white men in a pickup truck parked on the road in front of him. You hear some yelling and three gunshots in the black man breaks free and appears to run away but only makes it several feet before collapsing in the road. I do believe that he was just out for his daily dog. I have believe that since day one. Hes been doing that for years. Armada aubry was apparently just going for a jog in this scenic georgia neighborhood but Gregory Mcmichael and his son travis said they thought he was a burglary suspect and were attempting a citizens arrest. No charges were filed but the video has sparked peaceful protests demanding and impartial investigation. Two local prosecutors have recused themselves from the case and the state has assigned an outside District Attorney who plans to send the state to a grand jury deciding whether the mcmichael should face charges. This is not a racially divided issue. Both races are saying the same thing, they are saying that justice was not given in this case and that we have to correct it and correct it immediately. The coronavirus outbreak could prevent the grand jury for meeting though for several weeks. Edit, back to you. Sandra quick check on markets this morning. A minute and a half into trading this thursday morning and you are looking at the dow of 234 points continuing to climb back from the low was hit in the u. S. Stock market at the worst points of this pandemic. New jobless claims have been released for the latest week and it does reveal another 3 million americans filed for unemployment just last week. That brings the seven week to more than 33 million americans. Maria bartiromo is anchor of mornings with maria and the sunday morning futures. Maria, that is horrific to learn that that Many Americans lost their jobs through this. We look at the stock market trying to climb back from these lows as it looks forward and out into the future as things start to reopen and people go back to work. And i think thats why the markets are trading up this morning because we are looking at investors trying to navigate what the economy looks like on the other side and trying to understand better what these openings, the slow openings across the country will look like. Look, no doubt these numbers are very bad when you look at jobless Unemployment Benefits at 33 Million People having filed for Unemployment Benefits in the last seven weeks. But we are in the middle of this and we are right now in the second quarter. We are right now talking about a contraction that could be as steep as 30 in the second quarter. We know that in the markets know that, investors know that and we are expecting a very bad unemployment report tomorrow where 20 million americans will have lost their jobs and are unemployed in the month of april. Remember this pandemic started with the shutdown in the middle of march so april is going to capture the full extent of the impact of the shutdown on jobs and economy. Expect an equally disturbing employment report tomorrow when we are expecting Unemployment Rate to be as high as 8 . So thats why they are looking ahead and say, yes. We know we are in the middle of it right now, we know these are bad numbers and we are expecting them. I want to point out one other thing because when you look within the market at various industries you have Industries Like biotech and technology doing well because those industries are actually benefiting from people being at home. One research i looked at this morning said that you have outsized job losses in things like the leaves leisure sector but when you look at sectors like technology, health care and even manufacturing and construction you see growth in those areas over the longterm. Thats what investors are reacting to this morning. Sandra thats a great point. The nasdaq is on pace to turn back into positive territory with gains today. A fascinating to watch the markets react to this. Meanwhile, we talked about Warren Buffett selling his stake in berkshire hathaway, majorly u. S. Airlines. This mornings wall street journal is writing about these Airlines Flying basically empty, keeping these planes up in the air and many are carrying this essential Health Care Workers to their destinations. Some of them are looking for federal leads. Passenger numbers are hitting as the lowest since the 1950s. They have to keep flying these planes even if there are six people on board because of these complicated schedules that are in place and have been in place. People are wondering why would you fly a plane if you only have six passengers on it . That i in and some of the planes they have to keep in the air because of promises that theyve made. They are still losing money and this pandemic and thats why the government had to take stakes. You just point out that you dont really want to see the government become an investor or shareholder throughout industry in america because then you have demands, no stock buybacks and who knows what else. But when you have a government as an investor, the way you operate your business will be different and thats what the airlines are facing unfortunately right now. It will be spotty, and thats a major ticket for the airlines. I probably wont be happening until 2021. Sandra you have to ask yourself as we do, and the economies are reopening, will people feel safe getting back onto the airplanes . Thats a big question and something we have to watch as we come out of this. The dow is up to 300 points this morning. Ed fox news alert, breaking news of the top of the hour, the Justice Department that releases the scope of the molar probe. John roberts is live in the white house with more details. This slightly redacted memo was showing that then Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein had given mueller a much more wideranging playing field, and that and any matters that arose or may arise directly from that investigation. Now we learned that rosenstein had given mueller much more specificity. And the redacted individual and we don do not know who that pen was. He was also told to look into whether payments mena fort received for work with ukraine were a crime. He was told to look into whether papadopoulos acted as an agent of israel and whether Michael Flynn committed a crime by speaking to russian officials during the transition and lied to the fbi about this contact and failed to report on a security clearance form. They said that his appointment had no legal ramifications and that flynn had been cleared by the fbi before agents including peter strzok insisted on interviewing him. Heres what grant said. The Legal Foundation for muellers employment is crumbling. Now we know the scope of the investigation was to look at carter, paige, lynn, papadopoulos and Paul Manafort as to whether or not they were working with the russians. Dan crenshaw in the last hour. They had an idea, they had a conclusion and they had a crime that they wanted to prove and they gave themselves the power to try to prove it. This is a horrible, horrible precedent to set. It goes against every foundation we have in jurisprudence and law and due process. That scope memo was the second of three and the third on october 20th expanded the investigation even further to include michael, rick gates as well as roger stone and some others. This kept growing and growing even though senator Lindsey Graham suggests the entire underlying premise for the whole thing had been disavowed. Ed john roberts, thanks for the update. Sandra Health Care Workers across the country working tirelessly to treat patients on the front lines of this pandem pandemic. An icu nurse will be joining us on the toll that that takes on their Mental Health. Its nerveracking and emotionally disturbing.

One good share deserves another. So everything happened at at one time and now we are seeing people stagger in weeks, and weeks, and a few months after the fact. They are still coming in, and its an illness. Its not trauma. People are dying. Its staggering. Its a lot. Ed its a lot, she said it, that was icu nurse anthea noel here last month. She shared her emotions of working on the covid19 pandemic. She said it was worse than working in the aftermath of those tragic terror attacks of 9 11 and shes back to talk about the Mental Health issues many workers are facing during this crisis. Ed how are you . Doing well. Ed its nurses week and we wanted to honor as many nurses as we can and we thought of you and we thought, how are you doing . Im still at the icu and im still at the testing center. The numbers have decreased but we are still seeing yesterday i lost a 19yearold patient to covid19 and that struck a chord with all of us. Every death is significant but when you have, just a child, just a baby, 19 years old, it hits home. Ed whats happened in general since we heard so much, let someone 19 years old is likely to be in a better position to deal with this . Thats what weve heard. But what we are seeing is that the patients are developing cloths and even though we put them on anticoagulation therapy they throw clots and sometimes they stroke out or get pulmonary emboli which can be fatal. Ed weve heard about that and its very scary. There something that struck me in the sound bite that we played from april where you said sometimes our best is not good enough. And you cant save the patient. I mean, that happens all the time even before this pandemic but it seems like its been particularly acute. In that sense we last spoke last month there was a highprofile case and im sure there have been others but here in new york city we had a nurse that committed suicide because she felt like a best wasnt good enough and she felt overwhelmed. Talk about your Mental Health and your colleagues and how youve been doing. I think all of us are going through some type of posttraumatic stress. You know, the insomnia, the weight loss, being irritable, i think all of us are dealing with things differently. It is our coping mechanisms that get us through. So if we have good support systems like our families and friends and coworkers to lean on, even counseling. My best friend the counselor, shes a psychotherapist so i kind of bounce things off of her and use her as a sounding board. Ed thats certainly good. In the last 30 seconds we have, i mentioned at the top that its nurses week and we want to say thank you to you and all of your colleagues. How do you think we express our gratitude to you in so many people in the front lines . I think a simple thank you is enough. I think nurses and Just Health Care professionals and frontline workers, we were pushed to the forefront, where as we kind of played the background a lot and people didnt really understand the significance of us. But i think a simple thank you or smile, sometimes that brightens my day, that helps me. Or an error hug. Ed yes, its going to have to be in error hug for a while. We are sending you that error hug and certainly what you and so many others are doing is significant. We appreciate your time, thank you. Thank you so much, god bless you. Sandra sending air hugs her way. Meanwhile, businesses opening up across the country. How Florida Governor ron desantis is planning to unite the cities with one plan.

Org. Sandra more than half the states in the country have started reopening for business, but what it looks like can vary from city to city. Florida Governor Ron Desantis says he has a plan for his state. Phil keating is live from miami beach with the latest. Good morning. Good morning to you. Some things in the state of florida have gone positively and some have gone poorly and it all boils down to the people of florida which is why this very popular Miami Beach Park is closed again. It finally reopened for five days but then over the weekend, 7,000 people showed up not wearing masks, many of them defiant and even hostile towards arrangers. A similar scene on cinco de mayo, no bueno. Take a look at the crowd in downtown miami. A party prepandemic and presocial distancing of the owners of the place down. Outside of southcentral florida for most of the state phase one of reopening began monday and that includes Indoor Dining at open retail at 25 capacity. Most state parks and beaches are open for sun, sand and surf and all of that appears to be going well after three days with none or few problems. In tab by the city has begun closing substrates and allowing restaurants to use them and parking lots for more tables to try to make up for all the lost revenue, all properly spaced apart. Its called the lift up economic Recovery Plan and every server and customer gets their temperature checked upon arriv arrival. The energy is palpable, people wanted to get out and rebuilt a sense of normalcy in their life. The governor wednesday said hes pleased with how phase one is going statewide in hopes to bring the same freedom to miamidade, broward and Palm Beach County soon. Those three counties are not included in phase one and the people in those counties are itching to get to. So the county mayor says overall he is pretty pleased despite what happened here over the weekend but he does have one major concern this weekend, its mothers day weekend and hes worried that there will be perhaps too large of gatherings and further spread of the virus. Sandra . Sandra really interesting. Phil keating for us. Ed, it will be something states will have to assess and handle and it will be quite a quick process. Ed we are still seeing it play out. In idaho the state trooper was surprised when he pulled the vehicle over after the vehicle was weaving between lanes. He found a 5yearold behind the wheel. It was pretty clear when the window came down that it was a young, very underaged driver. He wanted to buy a lamborghini when he got there and he showed his wallet with 3. Ed they do cost a little more. A lamborghini owner drove to meet adrian and it gave him a ride in a luxury sports car. Pretty funny indeed. Fox news alert now, whole lot more coming up.

Its a full extent of the extraordinary powers. Thats according to fox sources familiar with transcripts. Welcome to a brandnew hour of americas newsroom, its thursday morning and im sandra smith. Ed great to see you sandra, im ed henry. Transcripts provide exclusive evidence clearing russia. A Senior Administration official tells fox that intel chairman adam schiff is in panic mode. You could rock directly disprove his claims. Republican lynn senator Lindsey Graham singh the Legal Foundation for the Mueller Probe is crumbling. I wish a democrat would take this seriously. Dont hold your breath, youll drop dead. Youre right, but i supported the Mueller Investigation because i didnt know. Now i know why mueller didnt find anything, there was nothing there to find. Im telling you man, this is j. Edgar hoover stuff. We are going to have hearings. Sandra Griff Jenkins is live in washington with more on all of that. A lot to unpack here. First we started with that memo showing then acting attorney general rosenstein authorizing special counsel mueller to go well beyond the initial scope of the russia probe which was to investigate links or coordination between the russian government and individuals for the Russian Campaign into any matter that arose from that investigation. We now see rosenstein also authorizing a deep dive into criminal allegations against carter page, Paul Manafort, george papadopoulos, Michael Flynn and an unidentified and redacted individual for crimes unrelated to russian interference which included acting as an unregistered agent as of a Foreign Government, failing to report contacts from a Foreign Government and making false statements to the fbi. Republican congressman dan crenshaw had this reaction earlier. Is the way to summarize what was actually going on. Its an investigation in search of a crime and the more we find out about this entire probe, the entire narrative that was spun for years tricking the American People into thinking a president was some russian puppet. This has fox news was learning we may soon see transcripts conducted by the House Intelligence Committee with 53 individuals in 2017 and 18 cleared for release that showed top officials affirming there was no evidence of collusion between russia and the Trump Campaign. A Senior Administration official telling fox news that chairman adam schiff is in panic mode meanwhile the ranking number of that Committee Issues the statement to fox news saying adam schiff himself voted to release these transcripts and claims he wants to mount. There is no reason he cant publish them all today except that he really doesnt want the American People to see how little evidence there was for the russian collusion hoax. He advocated and continues to advocate. Now fox news 12, it is possible that we could see some of the 6,000 pages of interviews this week possibly as early as today and that will show, sandra and eda, interviews with steve bannon who he picked and some others. Sandra we will await data. Griff jenkins, thank you. Your actions were selfish, putting your own interest ahead of the community but disrespecting the orders of the state, the orders of the county. I have to disagree with you sir when you say that im selfish because feeding my kids is not selfish. Ed a dallas judge facing heavy fire for jailing and finding a hair salon order who defied lockdown orders and open up her business so she and her staff could afford to put food on the table. Texas attorney general ken paxton quickly jumped into this battle. I heard that over overnight . Hes volunteering to pay some of the legal fees, the judge held her in contempt and has her sitting in jail and, both the Lieutenant Governor and me, and sadly she still sits in jail. Ed theres a gofundme now and have put in half a Million Dollars for her defense. It seems like theres frustration of how they are being administered. This was not pushed from the city, this was the judge that made the decision to put her in jail. This woman is in jail where they are thought to release convicted felons in this case shes in jail for doing her job. Even in the order for contempt that he says if he will and apologize, we could fix this. The idea that dan patrick or anybody could take the place is not going to be sufficient. They want her to bend the knee and nothing else will suffice. Ed how do you react to the idea that shes got to give in here somehow . It seems like the judge, its become very personal. And this woman is trying to keep her business going. The judge who you just mentioned eric moy has written a letter im sure as you are aware, to you, talking about the texas code of judicial conduct. He says, the judge shall not initiate, permit or allow x partake communications or other indications made to the judge outside of the presence of the parties in this context to urge a judge toward a particular substance of outcome in this matter is in a most inappropriate and unwelcome. Please d do not indicate with te court in this matter further. Your response . First of all this is not x partake communications, we are not a party to the lawsuit. We sent them a letter just like anyone else would send them a letter and weve copied the other parties on it to make sure there is no argument that it could be some type of x partake communication. What might be more of concern, i dont know if youve seen the social post or the judge made some comment about some woman who is protesting and she got corona and he was commenting that that was just karma or Something Like that. Ed your thoughts when the judge says Something Like that . Because theres a balance of people in this country are trying to strike right now and the fact that someone would be cheering on a protester allegedly getting covid19, theres frustration in this country. There are folks who want to see the economy get going again. Theres clearly a balance here and im not saying she shouldnt be held accountable for her actions but what im saying is we have overreacted. This is not the way shes trying to keep her business alive and difficult time so im glad we are moving towards an open economy in texas. I would encourage other states to do the same thing. Ed final question. Mothers day is coming up, do you think this mother will be out of jail or not . Im optimistic, i think she will be out of jail. People are seeing how ludicrous and insane this is but i believe that the pressure will mount on this judge to release her. Ed all right, ken paxton, we appreciate your time. Sandra at the venezuelan now releasing brandnew video of an american captured in the country. Luke denman is one of two veterans allegedly involved in a botched raid to ousted president nicolas maduro. Meanwhile the Trump Administration is saying that darrell is spreading this misinformation. The state farm and is trying to figure out what happened as the madero regime uses capitalism as propaganda. Luke denman, that former green beret was captured, it says. One of two u. S. Special forces soldiers. He was arrested as part of a failed rate over the weekend. In the video and speaking while in custody of venezuelan forces here, denman explains how he led the group to venezuela from the neighboring columbia where they had trained. Denmans parents told fox news they hadnt heard from him for a couple of weeks and had no idea what he was doing in venezuela. Nicolas madurnicolas madero swet shared with the world that at confesses with clarity a plan against our beloved venezuela. Now here secretary of state mike pompeo said the United States government had no direct knowledge or involvement in this operation. If we would have been involved, it would have gone differently. As for who bankrolled it, we are not prepared to share any more information about what we know took place. We will unpack that at an appropriate time. The secretary says the u. S. Government will use every tool it has available to try to get the captured americans back to the United States. Meanwhile u. S. Officials say they are investigating a security contractor who is a selfproclaimed architect of all of this. Sandra, back to you. Sandra rich edson, back to thank you. Ed an evacuation is underway in the Florida Panhandle as crews battle a wildfire for the fourth straight day. Families forced from their homes facing grave new danger. Details on that come next. Plus joe biden blasting the education secretary betsy devos after she unveiled new rules giving you protection to those accused of Sexual Assault on campus. The former White House Press secretary Ari Fleischer will weigh in on that, next. One student that experiences Sexual Violence or misconduct on campus is one too many.

Making the right decisions today for your longterm financial future can protect you and your family, and preserve your legacy.

It burned for a third day wednesday and an Evacuation Order turn mandatory suddenly. The flames also forced to shut down the stretch of i10, the second wildfire at nearby Walton County forced hundreds more to evacuate their homes. Florida is getting less than half of its average. Ed education secretary betsy devos meanwhile issuing a new rule strengthening protections for College Students that have been accused of Sexual Assaults. The administration is saying that it is designed to ensure due process. But Presumptive Democratic nominee joe biden disagrees saying its designed to shame survivors. Good morning to you. First, your reaction to all of this . Good morning. Oh, my goodness, i mean the height of hypocrisy. Imagine you have two children. What you got here is joe, running for office did something allegedly to a girl and the other child is on College Campus during the previous administration. That child is already judged to be guilty because the accusation is made and thats basically how it works. Joe biden, the one running for office, those rules should apply to everyone else but not me because im running for office. Donald Trump Campaign was quick to point out the hypocrisy. Betsy devos explains this new role in her statement. This new regulation requires schools to act in meaningful ways and without sacrificing important safeguards to ensure a fair and transparent process. Joe biden reacted in a statement to come to that ruling saying that trumps Education Department led by her is trying to shame and silence survivors and take away the survivors. It will be put to a quick end in 2021 because as president , i will be right where i always have been it throughout my career. On the side of survivors who deserve to have their voices heard and their claims taken seriously, and investigated and the rights upheld. Its no surprise that opened the door to criticism to th the trup campaign. Joe biden is saying these rules about presumed guilt should apply to everyone in society particularly on a College Campus except for me because im joe biden and im running for president and the democrats go along with it. The simple fact sandra when you step back, the way its handled against joe biden is a way it always should have been and should be handled, that when someone comes out and makes the allegation, the allocation should be taken seriously. There is a due process for the person being accused and thats what betsy devos is now bringing to College Campuses. That is right and that is proper. What is improper is to be hypocritical about it. So if any good comes out of this whole thing, maybe society will take a breath when the next accusation is made against anyone and adjudicated it. Let there be fairness, let there be to process. Let the accused confront the accuser. Let a process that we are all used to in public life called evidence come out and weigh in the word of the accuser against the accused. Thats the only fair way to have any adjudicative process in america. So good for betsy devos for doing this. Joe bidens hypocrisy in the media hype accuracy just prove how right betsy devos is. Sandra the way she explained herself with this new rule is that they went out and sought to narrow the definition of sexual harassment, requiring the schools to produce evidence and allow for cross examination of students who say they were assaulted. I want to play really quick betsy devos responding to this with martha. We have got to do better. We undertook this process to ensure that we addressed all of these issues and that we end up with a rule that all students can rely on, one that is going to respect those who are survivors and give them voice and power and say in what happens. And one that respects the accused as well and doesnt presume guilt at the start. Sandra she went on to say that she believes too many students have lost access to their investigation, education because of inadequate response from the schools when these accusations are made. But bottom line it brings up a bigger question of what is next for joe biden and what we hear from him is his story continues. Final thoughts . Whats next for joe biden is to continue to get away with things because of the immediate double standards. Ive never seen someone make an accusation with some level of credibility that has contemporaneous corroboration, and yet abc, nbc, msnbc, cnn, what do an interview with the women making an accusation. There is a coverup and its not a coverup by design, its a coverup by nature. Its just the nature of these democrats and the media to say it so important to beat donald trump that we will let joe biden slide. We will not apply the standards we apply to everyone else, to joe biden. Where are all watching it unfold right before us. Its a shame that anyone thought the media could possibly be unbiased. And provide an honest answer to american. Ari fleischer, always good to catch up with you, thanks so much. Thank you. Ed u. S.

Com coronavirus sandra fox news alert, three u. S. Marines taking control of a disruptive passenger on a flight from tokyo to dallas. The passenger was reportedly screaming and making threatening comments. Jonathan is alive with more details. The three marines boarded the plane in tokyo monday expecting like most of the passengers to watch a couple of movies and get some sleep on the long flight to dallas. It didnt quite work out like that for captain daniel coulter, Sergeant John dietrich and private first class Alexander Mine heart, all of whom were heading home after being deployed in okinawa, japan. Sergeant dietrich was the first to notice something strange going on as he watched a movie. He said i started to hear screaming coming from the restroom on board and when i took off my headphones i heard a man sounding very distraught and screaming from the bathroom. And when a Flight Attendant unlocked the door the three men grabbed the passenger and subdued him and restrained him with flex ties. Mine heart, on the right of the photo said i knew he had to use step in when he became a danger to himself. I didnt think twice about helping restrain him through the rest of the flight. And captain colt added we are well trained and it paid off today, we just assessed the situation and acted. We didnt take time to talk it over, we just got ready and did what we needed to help. The plane was diverted to los angeles where the passenger was taken to a nearby hospital for a mental evaluation. An Airport Police spokesperson said great job done by those Marines Semper fi, indeed. Sandra what a story. Jonathan hunt, thank you. We have learned more about covid and one thing is clear, chinas coverup led directly to this crisis. The stakes are too high to sit idly by which is why today im announcing task force. There was one moment in time they said yes, a few months ago they said no. I would say there is no more important time now to join with this together. Ed House Republicans right now announcing the formation of a brandnew China Task Force which is focusing on all aspects of americas relationship with the communist nation which is over in the house but its a major issue that the Senate Majority whip is dealing with. Senate majority leader john dennis joins us. As leader mccarthy says, they worked for about a year on trying to build this task force. Then right before that pandemic fired up, they pulled out. It is a big issue an and i tk republicans in the house are certainly right to try to press the leadership over here to try to put together a task force to examine obviously what happened and what led up to this and what steps we ought to take in response to it. I think its unfortunate the democrats dont want to participate credibly over there right now, everything tends to be highly political and the democrat leadership in the house is always looking for opportunities to poke the president in the eye. I suspect that they see working with republicans on this and thats something that undermines that objective. Ed certainly the public wants to see some action and your colleague in the senate, rick scott from florida, add this to say about corona accountability. We have failed to call out china for who they are comical out these International Organizations for who they are. You see democrats that are trying to defend the World Health Organization and its the craziest thing in the world. This is a group that so there was no local transmission when they knew there was. So we keep hearing this, lets call china out. Maybe now they are finally being called out but what comes next . So you can try to hold them accountable . I think we have a lot of ways, a lot of levers that we can pull and one obviously is funding, and as you pointed out, it is raising. I think accountability there, but i think further, more than that, accountability from china. Obviously they lied and understated and underreported what was going on. There is no transparency in that company and we need to remember that when dealing with them. I think one thing the International Community could do is ban the walleye equipment from their 5g networks. We have companies in europe the u. K. And germans who are entertaining the idea of having that equipment embedded in their network and i think that gives the chinese an opportunity to surveilled. There are other ways that i think they could step up and i know the president and leadership appear in congress is prepared to do that. At least on the republican side, hopefully the democrats will join in. Ed at the president has also held out the possibility of more in china. They are up strongly today and i know some of the farmers in your state of south dakota may not like it as well. Not some of the trade battles weve seen but on the Positive Side it broke this morning that may be the u. S. And chinese reporters may be meeting next week to hammer out. And we are talking about all that, the president is talking about more tariffs when at the same time you are trying to negotiate. I think you can take a strong stance with what happened to the coronavirus. It started there and originated there, and now they covered it up and its a global pandemic. They need to be held accountable by the International Community, but when it comes to trade they are a big economic market and obviously they need the United States. And they have trading relationships, and thats continual. Thats 3 million more americans filing for unemployment claims. The leader, you are part of the Republican Leadership obviously but leader mcconnell says there should be a pause there before theres a fourth stimulus bill. Whats the latest thinking on that . We are seeing what the effect is out there. And operating, hopefully we will get the worst behind us. When that happens you see those numbers start to go down. And people are filing claims, but, you want to make sure that any dollars being spent going forward, neck maximizing the impact out there. There was also this effort led by democrat jim kane and others, and they vetoed that. There may be a quote trying to override that. That came out when the president took out solo money and i ran a few months ago, some republicans in the senate that filed a resolution that prevent the president from using his commander in chief powers when there is an imminent threat. You would have an override vote and its important. They will be able to intervene at as necessary. How does that all go. We are doing what we can to check help out.

The possession of the Catholic Church on contraception under the prolife issues is pretty clear. For us this has been a battle that goes to the very soul of our ministry and our face. Faith. Sandra joining us now is judge napolitano. First off just set this up for us. What is the argument that they are making with the Little Sisters of the poor and what is the issue before the Supreme Court . Good morning sondra, always a pleasure to be with you. The Affordable Care act which the Supreme Court upheld in 2012 requires every employer of 50 or more persons to offer Health Care Insurance the Trump Administration using Regulatory Authority available to it elsewhere, and they have provided health care subjects when religion taught them to oppose it. There are challenges, the Trump Administration will do the right thing by accommodating the free exercise of religion of the Little Sisters of the poor and some and only situated, usually but not exclusively, catholic organizations. Should they be compelled to comply with the statute. The Roman Catholic chief justice who upheld the constitution in 2012 hanging in the balance. Sandra so thats what you are able to conclude from the oral arguments yesterday. We have some big question over companies reopening of liability on the parts of companies as they reopen. We were talking to senator tim scott yesterday who suggested that there needs to be some sort of liability shield for companies as we go through this. Greater confidence is one thing, but consumers to have the same level of competence will be another thing. They have to resolve the issue of liability. If someone comes into your business and says they got the coronavirus there, thats a major issue. One of the things we have as the top priority to help build confidence is solving the issue of reliability for Business Owners and providing more resources and testing for consumers. Sandra judge, you seem to make a really big point about that and protect our businesses from these lawsuits. So there is two types of liability issues here. One is, those who lost money and compensation because businesses were closed. Businesses were closed because the government required them to close. And somebody else is harmed by that compliance, the business enjoys the same immunity that the government does. So if you shut your shop because the government made you shut your sop and your employees lost money because of it, the employees are unlikely to sue you. To successfully sue you. The second type of liability, the one senator scott is talking about is what happens if you open up and somebody comes in and they get harmed . Now we have a federalism issue. Can the Congress Tell state courts that they cannot hear claims of liability when someone goes into a public accommodation and contracts coronavirus . Congress was reticent to do th this. State rights have been reluctant to interfere with state courts and this has only happened once before in our history when Congress Granted immunity to the manufacturers of guns so they could not be sued when the guns were misused. And they rejected it and made its way to the Supreme Court. I think that this liability shield business is very dangerous, and the discussion of whose fault they were harmed by should be heard by politicians but i dont think weve heard the last of it. Sandra very interesting. Judge napolitano, always good to talk to you. Ed the Supreme Court just tossed out convictions tied to the infamous new jersey bridge gates scandal. The court is saying in any unanimous decision that the government had overreach and prosecuting Bridget Kelly and bill baroni for their roles in creating a massive traffic jam to punish a new jersey mayor refused to endorse the election of then governor chris christie.

Is that true . I guess we are going to find out tonight, and everybody is pretty excited. The main thing thats good about this is they are trying to be on schedule. They want to start september 10th, its a thursday night and they want to try to keep to that date. If they have some contingencies in that schedule, and, thats what im being told. If you do have to lose games and those games that dont count as much as the season goes on in terms of tiebreakers and making the playoffs, those will be diminished and those could go away if they have to. They could also play into march. They could start the season, and might have to figure out the cold weather cities. So we dont have people playing in chicago and green bay in january and february. And what we are laying out to is the contingency that, god forbid the virus comes back in the fall, they might lose some games and might be some shifting in the fall if need be after the season starts. Right. Nobody knows how this virus is going to act. Dr. Fauci, everyone changes these models and its an evolving thing. If they dont have fans in the stands for they dont have the ability to play with fans because of the virus, and they havent even crossed that bridge yet. The salary cap is Something Like 240 million, they could pay the players but then that mechanism would kick in next year and it would be half. So then it you have 120 million being distributed because thats what they do, they split the revenue 50 50. If you split the revenue this year it comes out of the cap next year. So the players have to take some sort of a haircut and make an arrangement either this you are next year so i think theres a long way to go before they have any semblance of really knowing what the season is going to look like. Quickly on mlb insider, jeff paxson has said they will have active rosters, up to 30 players each game, more than usuall usul obviously to prepare for health. I spoke to a senior person in baseball a short time ago and said this plan to get it going around july 1st its getting closer and closer to reality. That may be the hope and that may be the wish. We may need to get teams to have some spring training time and where will that take place . Its expensive to get back to florida and arizona. If baseball doesnt play, this is a disaster not only for the players because they will get the minimum salary but it will be a disaster for the owners, losing hundreds and millions and billions of dollars. If there are no fans in the stands then, once again this will be a major negotiation with the players and this is not a simple course because these are very complicated deals. They take years to work out these and now youre talking just a few short weeks or months. Its a long, long road. Everybody needs to be optimistic. We are all waiting.

Unfortunately doctors are saying that it does remain uncommon at this point. The president is now saying the task force will continue indefinitely and will focus on vaccines, treatment and safely restarting the economy. And we will have a whole lot more on the coronavirus pandemic throughout this hour but first, a a new twist in the drama surrounding Sexual Assault allegations against joe biden. Welcome back to a brandnew hour of americas newsroom. Im ed henry. Good morning sandra. Sandra im sandra smith. While a new poll finds voters split on who or what to believe when it comes to allegations, and that new peace headline, a new liberal refrain. Ed it joining us now is dana perino. The me, too movement is collapsing under the weight of the democracy of the democrats. Several leaders have recently said that the me, too standard was way too high and maybe not fair. So basically that has collapsed. For better or for worse, thats the truth. I think when it comes to this, we are going to see Many Democrats saying, you know what . I want donald trump out of office and i dont care what happened with biden, if it did or didnt happen, im going to vote for him anyway. One thing to watch though is if more documents come out or more allegations come out and you have a candidate who is not that adept at navigating these tricky political waters, that could hurt them especially since hes sitting down there in the basement. If there are more documents that come out that seem to substantiate tara reades allegations, if they were to emerge, it may seem like it may not matter on the left. Is an oped from linda hirschm hirschman. I believe tara reade voted for joe biden anyway. The importance of owning an ugly moral choice. Your thoughts . This is the willingness to have given that kind of credit, and even to donald trump. I think i had a field going not a field but a discussion going with a mutual friend of ours who thinks this will actually dog bite into the political season. Im of different mind, i think the democrats have decided that they will be in loc lockstep bed biden. To your point, this is from someone in the media that was retired and weve all heard of it, and he writes this letter to the editor of the New York Times. I dont want an investigation. Would he make a great president , would he make a better president than the president asked pent . Absolutely. And again, points for honesty. He goes on to say my principles dont really matter, im going to make a choice here for biden over trump. He wants the coronation of joe biden which is even a more repugnant ideal. In this country we have two candidates who will have to battle it out and there will be an election and people get to decide. If biden falls short, i dont necessarily think it will be because of tara reade, i dont take it will be because of allegations or misconduct, allegations of rate or whatever else could come out of the woodwork. Im not saying that they will, i just dont think it will matter as much as, who has a plan to help this country get back on track after this coronavirus emergency is behind us. The writers pulled this week said 53 of americans said they believe donald trump is better than biden on that very important issue. Ed and to wrap all that up, you are known as a very good communicator and someone who can figure those kinds of situations out. When you saw David Axelrod wrote that oped a few months ago he said to joe biden, find a way out of the basement, find a way to have viral moments and a pure digital game because President Trump has a huge advantage on social media. What were your thoughts about how to react on that . I have Great Respect for both David Axelrod and david cloth. But i did think they should have given that advice and private because basically what they did was they wrote an oped in the New York Times that said everything about the Joe Biden Campaign is bad. Its dismal. Its a disaster and you should change absolutely everything because trump is going to bust you on the most important tactic which is digital. There is no way that joe biden can match what Brad Parscales operation has been able to do over several years in just six months. I thought that it sort of was like making sure that everybody knew that they would have done it very differently and they would have been able to win, but i also have to say this. The candidate that they help to bring to the oval office to be commander in chief was barack obama. He was a unique individual. Joe biden is not barack obama and is not that unusual. Weve known him for decades. I dont think a Digital Strategy is a problem, i think a message is the problem. Ed and thats why you have morty tolson the retired journalist saying, i dont think hes even going to be a great president. Sandra fox news alert, a new action on capitol hill as the senate works to override the president s veto on the iran war powers resolution with the boat set for less than two and a half hours from now and it will be an uphill battle. Congressional correspondent chad pergram is now live on capitol hill with all of that. Good morning. Good morning sandra. There have been 2500 vetoes in u. S. History but only 111 successful veto overrides. This is the iran war powers, and without congressional approval. They need to get 67, twothirds to successfully override the president and that likely wont happen today. The vote back in early february was 5545 which means that eight republicans joined all 47 democrats. One of them was republican mike lee of utah. Over the course of many decades, we have seen congress essentially forfeiting its authority to declare war and waiting for president s to act. We believe its more appropriate when we are going to put u. S. Lives on the line. The resolution would have required congress to approve any and the house synced up with the center in march. Mitch mcconnell supports the veto. We must maintain the vision of deterrence, 12 republicans to get to 67 and they probably wont get that including some vulnerable republicans from swing states like joni ernst from iowa. And article one and section 8 says its up to congress to declare war and article two says the president of the United States, hes the commander in chief. Sandra, back to you. Sandra chad pergram on capitol hill. Ed a fox news alert, the white house confirming that a worker at the president ial mansion has tested positive for covid19. The employee reportedly is a valet to President Trump. We are told that employee began showing symptoms of the coronavirus yesterday.

C. , for the latest details. Jillian, good morning. Good morning sandra, you are hearing a lot about that u. S. Meat supply shortage here this week but it turns out americans actually have it really good compared to a lot of other countries around the world. InterNational Officials and National Officials not ringing alarm bells that hundreds of millions of people worldwide are facing the imminent threat of acute hunger and even starvation and famine due to the coronavirus outbreak. The World Food Program says much of the world is on the brink of what they are calling a Global Hunger panic. Take a listen. In my conversation with World Leaders over the past many months, before the coronavirus even became an issue, i was saying that 2020 would be stationed as the worst team in a terry crisis since world war ii. Most of the countries hit hardest were in subsaharan. Most children are at risk for starvation, 1. 6 billion young people are at schools around the world and we know at least 370 million of them are missing out on school meals. Before coronavirus hit, 2019 was already a setting low year with 135 Million People facing acute malnutrition. Officials say this confluence of events, and those massive Food Shortages is a perfect storm. And thats shows that 300,000 people will starve to death every single day over a three month period there is a sense of urgency to come up with new ways to get food aid and humanitarian assistance out to countries and populations including children who are the most vulnerable right now.

An audit shows that the funds were met for needy families but they were sent to Brett Favre Enterprises by to nonprofit organizations for speaking engagements. And officials confirm that theyve already paid back 500,000. One of the Great Stories of the coronavirus outbreak has been our food supply and that has continued to work every day. We have now had a uniform one and the objective is to keep those Meat Processing plants open. Sandra still the Meat Industry is getting hard hit the coronavirus. President trump is calling on processing plants as deb fischer pushes the usda to investigate meatpackers for what she describes as price manipulation. Senator, good morning for you. Ask for being here. Can you start big picture for our viewers and explain why are we facing a shortage in this country right now . Our egg producers are being hit incredibly hard right now by covid19 and especially different segments of the agate economy. They are being devastated. I called them food heroes who were out every single day trying to make sure that americans stay fed. And we look at u. S. Feedlots where they fattened cattle and then they go on to packing plants. Then you had that Good American and good nebraska beef thats in the grocery stores. Right now we are seeing great prices and it might cycle up or down but when you have such discrepancy in prices from the family farm are on his ranch to produce that critter thats going to end up being a good steak, it needs to be looked into. Theyve made a comment to support looking into it and, we will look into this. We want to make sure we have a supply chain that works well for all participants within that chain and we want to make sure that we have good protein on the shelf in grocery stores. Sandra this affects the consumer which you are trying to look out for. The attorney general is sending a letter to attorney general bill barr, urging investigation into the matter. They are talking about sizable Profit Margins for the meatpackers, and the meat on the shelf continues to go up. What do we face as a country as far as the availability of meat on ourselves . I want people to remember that the supply chain is working well right now and to not do the panic buying. We dont want to see beef and pork turn into the toilet paper fiasco that happens. So just buy what you need, its going to be there and we are going to make sure that we continue to push these investigations. There shouldnt be any manipulation of the markets. There should not be any price gouging going on. And especially during the pandemic. Im pleased that the attorneys generals are working on this. I have pushed forward and asked senator mike lee to have a hearing in his subcommittee, which deals with antitrust and so we can have some transparen transparency. About what is truly happening here. Sandra the president s words, will take a look into it because it shouldnt be happening that way. We talked about farmers and ranchers getting hurt but the meatpacking plants are doing fine in the middle of all this. We will continue to follow this story, senator. Keep us posted and thanks so much. Ed in the meantime a brandnew branch of the u. S. Military is now recruiting. How you can sign up for the space for us.

Sandra a story we brought you moments ago, the White House Medical Team confirming that i valet to President Trump has confirmed positive for the coronavirus. The white house just put out a statement, hogan gidley saying that the president and Vice President have both been tested and are negative for the virus ending good health. Chief correspondent john roberts is live with more. Ed sandra, good morning to you. This was a number of the military and the navy who works on the white house grounds as one of the president s valets, they take care of the president s wardrobe. And thats close contact with the president. They tested and tested positive for coronavirus. We do not know what sort of proximity this person has been in with the president , and particularly since the Vice President was at a nursing home, although hes not going inside the building. They have been in proximity and that communication person came down with coronavirus. Thats the second case among personnel the white house. They will continue to ask questions about how close this person may have come to the president. They and they are also conducting serological testing for any staff member who wants to know if they were exposed previously to the coronavirus. Theres a lot of surveillance going on here and as far as we know this is only the second positive test for any of the people. John, thank you. President trump i think you will have a tremendous transition which is the Third Quarter thing. I think you will have a good Fourth Quarter and i think next year will be an incredibly, incredibly or economically. Ed President Trump expressing a lot of optimism for recovery as a nation tries to reopen amid the coronavirus crisis. So what does the u. S. Need to do to get the economy back on tra track . Of course, good morning. The president brought you to be in, and what more do you think he and congress. We need consumer demand in order to get consumer demand, unique consumers with confidence and they will keep their jobs and not lose their job. The only way to get past these horrific on appointment numbers is with the federal jobs program. We need tracking and tracing on a National Level because we need to have all that data consolidated. To do tracing and testing, to help people who are compromised and cant go out and are stuck in their homes. So many things that we needed, thats how we get the train going. Ed there was a call for a general strike, is not a good idea now when we are trying to do what you just said which is get more people back to work . If you want to guarantee a depression, yes. But if you want to bring the economy back, no. I understand the point that there is a risk of people being taken advantage of and there is an opportunity for them to Work Together and im not necessarily opposed to that but a general strike would be horrific. Ed is talking about consumer demand, part of that is getting sports back. We just had jim gray on who was talking about the importance of baseball. Baseball has to play. If baseball doesnt play this is a disaster not just for the players but, there will be hundreds of millions and billions of dollars so they have to come up with some sort of a plan. You were quoted as saying it has to be perfect in terms of the plan to get everyone back but even before the pandemic nothing was perfect. How do you get to that . There will be actions and problems, and we want to get to some kind of balance. And i agree. I think we need the Hotel California solution. You know, the quarantine environment where once you go in that you can never leave. You get tested before you come in at i think thats really the only solution in the short term. Then, as we get the vaccine let me say this. I so believe in american conceptualism and i so believe in our community that i have no doubt we are going to get a vaccine and that vaccine will allow us to open things back up. Now when that happens, it remains to be seen. But we create the hotel environmencalifornia environmenr baseball and even football. As we play the season with no fans when that vaccine becomes available then we have the confidence to open things up. These are not mutually exclusive scenarios. Ed Warren Buffett said over the weekend hes not going to bet against america. That might be the plan that catches fire. Mark cuban, thanks for coming on. Sandra .

We are asking tom turton to join us in asking Governor Kemp to make sure that this goes to the grand jury immediately. I cant even imagine what the family is going through right now. The tape was released, and im sure they have a whole bunch of emotions. Sandra the naacp now calling for a review as a family demands justice in the Fatal Shooting of an unarmed black man by two white men in georgia. And some disturbing new video we are about to show, you can see the victim being chased down and killed. His family says he was out jogging when all of this happened. Nancy grace is the host of crime stories on fox nation. Nancy, your thoughts as we look at that video this morning . You know very often i have argued to juries what witnesses say happened and have said it, we dont have a video. Well, there is a video of what happened. Contrary to many pundits stating what is the georgia law for citizens arrest, i can assure you of one thing, it does not include the use of deadly force on an unarmed victim. Sandra and the mother of that on the victim is responding now that she has seen the video. Here is the attorney for Ahmaud Arberys mother. We see clearly in that video that there were three shots. Three shotgun blast which goes towards the mindset of the shooter, that his intent was to kill Ahmaud Arbery. Sandra so does this video change everything in this case . It absolutely does because the only witnesses that we knew of was the father son duo gregory and travis, and this is in their words and the police report. Their words, not mine. They see Ahmaud Arbery running by and they see him in a suspect in prayer burglaries. They do not witness him committing any felonies, which is a prerequisite. This is not mayberry where gomer arrest people under citizen arrests. You dont arrest anyone unless they are in the commission of a felony. And we do. Three gunshot wounds although the autopsy report has just been handed over and we believe that Ahmaud Arbery was shot twice. He was unarmed. Sandra we will continue what to watch that story as it develops. Meanwhile we want to get an update on the cult mom lori val oh. There are relatives that say they know the children are still alive but wont give information on what they have heard what they have seen. Lori va is still behind bars and refusing to cooperate even if it helps find her missing children. Thats right, and i call that a material witness. If they know where these children are, they should cough it up. And vallow was just in court demanding she had a bond reduction from 1 million and she also had her lawyers state that she is being recorded surreptitiously in the jail as if the jailers were peeping toms. News flash. You are recorded when you have phone calls or meetings with relatives in jail. They are our recording devices in jail. Not when you meet with your lawyer. Long story short, there is no reason that she cannot have an in camera hearing with a judge, nobody else present but her lawyer, to reveal the whereabouts of her children and prove they are safe. So my question is, why would she refuse to do that . Does she really think the world is ending in july and they are hidden away in some bunker . Id like to think they are hidden away but our track record is not so good. There are multiple dead bodies connected to cult mother lori vallow. Sandra the mother insisting in her own words that those children are still alive. She sat on positive beyond any doubt that she would not have harm to kids. So that case is not closed. And the streaming now at tiger king investigation with nancy grace, its available exclusively on fox nation. Ed Health Experts are now saying people are less likely to get covid19 outside.

Maybe your purpose on this planet isnt on this planet. Ed and out of this world opportunity literally. The u. S. Space force launching its First Recruiting video inviting viewers to be part of the sixth branch of the armed forces. Good morning, brett. Kind of an interesting video to kick it all off. It reminds me of the army commercials back in the day. The be all you can be come up with a catchy tune. There is actually a link in the video that we tweeted out that brings you to the available options or available jobs on the space force and it actually sounds like something out of science fiction, but its pretty sweet. There is a fusion analyst and a Space Operations officer, and cybersecurity. A lot of people think about space force and we heard about the Vice President protecting our allied assets in space, theres a lot of stuff floating around over our heads, not just gps that we all used to get around but there are military satellites overhead, television and radio, sirius xm is delivered via satellite and it you know, there is imaging. We as satellites to track weather and storm system so there is a lot of stuff up there that we need to keep an eye on. China and russia are both we work with russia to go to the space station but china is working on building their own space station. Everything you put into a space creates a potential problem because it cannot only run into other satellites it can create problems with existing infrastructure. If you knock a gps satellite out you will have a lot of problems down the road so its good that we have people keeping tabs on this. The space full force is flooded with applications and so far they have filled 88 positions and they will grow it to 16,000 strong over the next few years. The careers that they have there are jobs over the future. And this is what we need in the next generation economy. Ed at the president has been talking about it for us in a long time. It was established quickly before the pandemic, and trying to protect u. S. Interests and headquartered in the pentagon. That was china pushing more and more into the space and obviously we are more in the battle right now. Yes, we are definitely over them with the origins of the coronavirus. Is deftly more about that.

It was exhilarating. As a father, to see that happen. Because that is something i shared with my father, as well. I will never forget that moment. And for him to have it on film, it was yeah. Harris such an important time for families, to go out and do things like this, when we are all at home. Something happy. We dont have sports to watch, so its good to play them.
