This crossing the wires now. Also, Retail Stores in ohio can open about two weeks from now. Thats about midmay. Covid19 has now killed more than 55,000 americans and infected nearly 1 Million People across the country. We have fox News Coverage beginning this hour the white house. Kristin fisher with brandnew testing guidelines from the white house there. Casey stegall is watching things in texas. We begin with Jonathan Serrie in atlanta where that state is slowly reopening again today. Slowly, it appears. Jonathan. Indeed, bill, good afternoon to you. Today, george expanded the list of businesses that can reopen. That includes movie theaters and restaurant dining rooms. But some Business Owners and customers are choosing to play it safe. Bill, as a former atlanta resident, i know youre familiar with the historic plaza theater, while it is moving operations outdoors, converting its back parking lot into a drivein. While some restaurants are reopening dining rooms with social distancing and enhanced cleaning, many customers say they feel safer sticking with takeout. I think its safer for me so that if i go home and start wondering okay, who else was in there. Hospitals, which temporarily suspended elective procedures are looking to increase Antibody Testing on their workforces so they can safely return to normal operations. The purpose of doing the testing is to prepare ourselves to have a reentry of Health Care Workers into the system so we can get our Business Model back on track. Bring all our surgeries back, our Cancer Patients back. Bell, Governor Brian Kemp has announced a 4 30 News Conference this afternoon. Also some news out of north carolina, the Charlotte Observer is reporting that one of the organizers of a movement against lockdowns, agal distancing in a home guidelines has admitted on social media that she tested positive for covid19 and just recently came out of quarantine on sunday. The Charlotte Observer has said she is not responded to a request for information on whether she attended any of those rallies during the quarantine period. Bill. Bill allowed to watch there, thank you governor, we will 90 minutes away, fox News Coverage continue, Kristin Fisher at the white house now the more on the new plans for testing that we are just the learning of now. Kristin. Thats right, bill, the white house is saying it wants to dramatically increase testing in this country over the next two months in an effort to really try to help the state go comfortable with reopening their economies and getting people back to work. These blueprints were just released about an hour ago, and they really detail how the white house wants to do this, and what the goals are. The blueprint calls for a robust diagnostic testing plan, a timely monitoring system, and a Rapid Response program to isolate those who test positive and identify those that they came in contact with. Just to dig into that a little bit deeper in terms of what exactly this means, the white house wants diagnostic testing for anyone who is symptomatic plus the First Responders and medical personnel. They also want surveillance testing for high risk populations, people in Nursing Homes, and whatnot. So, in total, the white house wants to be able for the state to test about 2 of its population. Some governors may want to do more. If that is the case, like governors in new york, andrew cuomo, if thats the case, the white house as it is going to work with those states individually to try to increase that Testing Capacity even further. But this is a big increase. I mean, right now, according to the covid tracking projects, the u. S. Have tested about 1. 6 of the entire population, the entire country. Now, the white house wants to test about 2 of people per state. So that is a dramatic increase, theres going to be a lot of questions today about how exactly the white house is going to be able to help states do that, and those questions are going to come in a briefing in the rose garden today. The White House Press secretary kaylee mack and annie, she put out a tweet saying though the safely opening up america. Again, President Trump will brief the nation during a press conference this evening. He will likely address all of us tonight. Again, bill, there was going to be a briefing today, now there is not, now the briefing is back on, a lot of questions about these new blueprint, and right now, i should point out then in about an hour, President Trump is going to be meeting with the ceos of Companies Like walmart, walgreens, he may make an announcement about this blueprint at that point in time, if he doesnt, you will hear in the briefing at the rose garden. Bill. Bill Kristin Fisher from the north lawn, that briefing two hours from now. Want to bring an director of the Harvard Global institute to react to this. Doctor, things are coming back. As kristin points out, this would be a massive move forward. What is your take on what youre hearing right now, doctor . To say thank goodness. A look, i look at the blueprints, i dont know the details yet, i will do that after we get off here. But for a lot of us, ive been calling for a lot more testing for a lot more time, weve been pretty flat for the last month. So, i am thrilled to see the white house finally get on board on this, and more testing is absolutely central to opening up our economy and letting people get back to their lives. So im really, really happy to hear. Bill right on. Do we have the capacity, now, or did we have it a month ago . I think weve had a capacity for the last month. Its required, there is a lot of road box that need fixing, and tackling, all of that just requires leadership and a focus on trying to expand testing, i believe weve had the capacity and its great to see the white house now fully on board with the pressure that they can put on the market place, we can get there. Bill okay, dr. Burke at mbc over the weekend said social distancing, in all likelihood will last until the end of the summer. She also said this about a breakthrough, watch here. We have to be able to detect antigens, rather than constantly trying to detect the actual live virus, or the viral particles it self. And to really move into antigen testing. I know corporations and diagnostics are working on that now. We have to have a breakthrough. This rna testing will carry us certainly through the spring and summer. But we need to have a Huge Technology breakthrough. Bill so go ahead and define with this Technology Breakthrough is or could become a doctor. What is that . So first of all, dr. Burke is completely right. We do need a Technology Breakthrough. Right now, we are looking through that genetic material of the virus to figure out if youre infected, thats fine, thats a good thing to do, but we cant scale it up as much as he would like. Antigen looks for the protein on the virus. A lot of people get the flu swab, thats what that is for the influenza, we need a similar thing for covid. It will allow us to do millions of tests a day and it will be fast, and this is the kind of Technology Breakthrough we need. And again, the market will eventually figure it out, but we need the push of the federal government to get us there much, much faster, and i hope we get there. Bill okay, with regard to the swab, i thought that was the company labcorp, last week when we had their leading medical officer on, they can do that, cant they . But perhaps not to the scale that youre asking for. Yeah, so they are talking about swabs were again, looking for that virus, that is a pcr test, thats a 20yearold technology that doesnt scale super well. What dr. Birx is talking about also requires a swab, it might be able to be done with just a saliva, but its looking for something totally different, a Different Technology called an antigen test, and im hopeful, its not there yet, the science isnt perfect yet, but im hopeful we will have that so we can do millions and millions of tests a day. Thats whats going to give people confidence to go back to restaurants and get on airplanes and get back to work. Bill okay, youre exactly right about that. Now, cdc and the last couple of days, they came with new guidelines about what we look for. Heres what you say chills, shaking, muscle pain, headaches, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell. I think we heard about a lot of those, but what we are hearing in new york is that those admitted to the hospital, only 30 of those patients complained of a fever. We thought all along here that a fever was the number one towel. How do we make sense of that . Yeah, i think this is cdc catching up to things that weve already known. Weve known people with covid will get chills. The loss of sense of smell and taste, weve known about really in the last several weeks, its nice to see cdc update its guidelines. You know, the fever issue is interesting, because when you do careful studies, even when people dont necessarily know that they have fevers, it turns out most people with covid really do have fevers, sometimes theyre not aware of it. So it still remains one of the hallmarks of the disease. Not everybody, but most people still do have a fever. Bill well, thank you for taking all of our questions, excellent work, thank you, from harvard, back with us today. Nice to see you, doctor. In a moment here, thousands of Small Businesses getting a Second Chance is a second round of government loans rollout, how long will that pile of money last .

A leader who is the preferment of hope and courage, values, authenticity, and integrity. Bill there it is, House Speaker nancy pelosi a few hours ago, her support coming now is the former Vice President faces backlash over a Sexual Assault allegation. A former Senate Staffer says that he touched her inappropriately back in the early 1990s. Bidens campaign denies it, Speaker Pelosi has said that she is satisfied with that response. But there has been criticism for how some members of the media and how some democrats are responding to claims. Jacqui heinrich picks up the reporting today, with us in new york, jackie. Afternoon, bill. Well, pelosi touted bidens work saving jobs after the Great Recession and expanding access to health care while polo sees endorsement marks another pillar of support from the democratic establishment, biden also got the backing of the top progressive from the house today. Washington congresswoman for milledge i apollo said she was encouraged that biden murray reached out to her side, pelosi argued biden represents the besl kinds to advance a liberal agenda. Now, more than ever, we need a forwardlooking battletested leader who will fight for the people, a president with the values, experience, and the strategic thinking. But pelosi is among prominent female democrats who notably did not take questions this weekend over a Sexual Assault climb over the former vp. Polo see, with two women on bidens running mate shortlist made appearances on three television networks. Georges and stacy abrams appeared on cnn and nbc arguing for why biden should pick her. I am the daughter of two ministers, i was raised to tell the truth. So when i am asked a question, i answer it is directly and honestly as i can. Senator amy klobuchar, also on the vp shortlist, also didnt take questions in segment on mailin voting, although she has commented on the issue previously saying all claims should be investigated. Some progressives are accusing the democrats have being silent on the issue. Senator Bernie Sanders former press secretary tweeted a reminder that burning still on the ballot. Meanwhile the Biden Campaign adamantly denying the allegations will being careful not to silence his accuser, former staffer tar read. Bidens Campaign Said earlier this month women have a right to tell their story and reporters have an obligation to rigorously vet those claims. We encourage them to do so because these aqua are false. The dnc has still not responded to our questions on this issue. Bill. Bill so, jacqui, bidens accuser says that media should presser on this, what has she said . Well, tara reade told fox news and Cnns Anderson Cooper didnt ask biden about this issue, not months. But on two occasions. Biden has done nearly a dozen interviews since the claim surfaced, and she believes biden should be question publicly. Tara reade the story has escalated since last year when she told a local paper biden touched her and made her feel uncomfortable, but said it was nonsexual. This march, she alleged Sexual Assault. Reade told the New York Times she didnt initially claim Sexual Assault because she was scared, having faced a wave of criticism following some tweets, and also posts she previously made, some of them praising bidens legislative efforts on ending Sexual Assault, and others praising russian president vladimir putin. Bill. Bill Jacqui Heinrich on that, reporting today, jacqui, thank you, meanwhile the airports in the u. S. Across the country have seen a bit of an uptick in the number of travelers. The tsa screened nearly 129,000 people yesterday, thats the most in a single day since the 3rd of april. But in all, its just a tiny fraction of the usual number, in the same day about a year ago tsa screened more than 2. 5 Million People. At american airports. What a difference a year can make. Nursing homes have been hot spots for covid19 outbreaks, theyve been deadly. Why are some states ordering them to take infected patients . We will look at that and a moment. And an urgent moment for one of americas biggest meat producers as the virus closes plants across the nation. Theyre our p. Our brothers and sisters. And our children. But now, they are more than that. They are forever our heroes, too. At prudential, were fortunate to know and serve them. And were grateful to the heroic men and women working on the front line to move our nation forward. To all the heroes, we thank you. Could another come aroundot, workingthe corner. Nt line to move our nation forward. Or could it play out differently . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling numbness or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planed medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be your moment. Ask your doctor about eliquis. Heyim confused. Up . Confused about what, everything ok . Yeah, i only see one price on my phone bill. That doesnt sound confusing mama. Youre on tmobile, taxes and fees are included. Oh come on, theres always extra fees not on tmobile mama. Why cant all my bills be like this . I dont know mama. Bye mama, love you. Anthony . Umph with tmobile, taxes and fees are included. Thats right. No extra taxes fees, so what you see is what you pay. If the nursing home has a patient that they cant handle, covid, or whatever the reason, they must refer that patient out of that facility. They must. Bill so that was the new York Governor Andrew Cuomo saying Nursing Homes should only be taking coronavirus patients if they can safely do so. But there was a state order that requires the facilities to admit people who have tested positive for covid19. In new york, officials are blaming the virus for nearly 3,000 deaths at Nursing Homes. I want to bring in new your columnist and Fox News ContributorMichael Goodwin writing about this over the weekend, michael, thank you for your time. Its really a sad story that comes down to it in the very end. Heres the title of your piece from over the weekend state lack common sense in Nursing Homes coronavirus approach. Michael, what if you been able to figure out as to what happened based on this policy . Well, bill, thank you, the state was looking for a way to get people out of hospitals who no longer needed to be there. Coronavirus patients who were stable. And in normal situations, 70 has any replacement, or even a heart attack, and theyre stable. They are then moved it to a nursing home or rehabilitation center. Well, the state acted as though there is nothing different about the coronavirus in that policy, and so it directed and forced, in fact, that nursing home and Rehabilitation Centers take these coronavirus patients who were stable. But they were still infected. And they were still contagious. And, as a result, i believe that we are going to be able to show that many of the people who died in Nursing Homes in the new york state, now, thats over 3500, that many of them died after the state started to send these infected patients to the Nursing Homes. If you talk to the nursing home owners, and the managers, many of the families who lost love loans bear, they will tell you that it all change when these infected patients started to arrive. And the patients who arrived, the infected patients who were referred by the hospitals, most of them were stable, and so they continue to recover. But its the residents and others who were there in the Nursing Homes, they are the ones who got infected because many of these Nursing Homes did not have that bread spaces, they didnt have private rooms, they didnt have the staff to segregate staff, so you ended up with the whole building, largely becoming infected. And so you had just scores of people, just to scores of people dropping dead. New jersey did the same thing. Bill its such a tragedy, too, when you think about this, now. Department of health said no resident shall be denied readmission or admission to the nursing home solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of covid19. Im guessing you have to be able to test them, or you have to have protective equipment to key people inside the Nursing Center safe. Clearly they did not have that. This is part of the reason why the comfort was brought to new york, the Convention Center was converted to a 2500 beds site. Why would they not have been allowed to take refuge they are, as opposed to going back into a Nursing Center where so many are sitting there as deadly ducks, they are, michael . Well, thats exactly what a lot of the nursing home owners and of the families who lost 12 ones, thats what they want to know, why were they sent to the Nursing Homes . Everything we knew about the coronavirus in the beginning, it started largely in a nursing home in the state of washington. And, we know, from studies around the world that its the elderly, and particularly the elderly with comorbidity, meaning other Serious Health issues. That defines a nursing home. And so, to say that we are going to send the sick people they are, it defies common sense. And its inexplicable given the results that it still continues. I mean. The overcrowding in the hospitals has abated. Nonetheless, that that policy is still in effect. When the governor says that you dont have to keep them, you can transfer them out, what hes implying is you have to take them in the first place. And its that taking that in the first place, i mean, families couldnt even come into visit, but infected coronavirus patients were forced in. I mean, does not make any sense in this world . Bill no. Its a real tragedy here. Im under the understanding that the states investigation began today. We will see what comes from that, michael. Thank you for your time today. Michael goodwin from the New York Post and a Fox News Contributor. What a shame. Thank you michael. In a moment here the treasury secretary saying he will see the economy bounce back this fall. Maybe earlier. Small businesses getting another boost in federal funding. The Senate Majority whip is on doc on that. Also, the rookie of the year pete alonso was giving back in a big way. The star explains how you can help, and whether or not baseball comes back. In addition to the substitute teaching. I honestly feel that thats my calling to give back to younger people. I think most adults will start realizing that they dont recall things as quickly as they used to or they dont remember things as vividly as they once did.

Bill some more states is starting to allow some businesses to reopen with new safety guidelines, Casey Stegall watching part of that, he is live in arlington, texas, whats happening there, casey . Hey, bill, good to see you, yeah, we are moments away right now from the press conference down in austin, where Texas Governor greg abbott is expected to unveil the next round of restrictions that will be lifted and of course, where we are going to be moving next with a timeline. No matter what he says, however, he likely will not be able to appease those protesters, because there are lots and lots of people who gathered and marched in various cities across the state, critical of how long the whole thing is taking to get the economic engines revving again. Last week, they gradually started running again, parks were opened, elective surgeries resumed, and retail got going with certain limitations. Now, dining restaurants remain closed, as do spas, salons, gyms, and movie theaters. But over the weekend, a dallas solano noller says she was not waiting around, and open her business anyway, then she got hit with a citation. Everything has been vague because they are all looking at each other saying what do we do because this is unprecedented. And if they want to lock those doors, i will put chairs out here, and my salas can work on the patio, gladly. Now come over in louisiana today, the majority of elective surgeries resumed. Thats a big deal, says governor john bel edwards, considering his state was once a coronavirus hot spot, behind new york and new jersey, but infection levels have greatly improved, according to health data, so Officials Say that they feel comfortable with easing restrictions on those procedures, as far as the next steps for gradually opening the state of louisiana, we are expected to hear more on that later this week. Phil. Bill thank you, casey, Casey Stegall watching that in texas, thank you, sir. This room a bit earlier today, lets listen. Ppp one and ppp two is just a shortterm bandaid that will run out of monday the next 78 weeds, and when business is open, they will be forced to close by labor day because they will not be able to sustain the level of business that they currently have. Bill strong statement, thats the starbucks Ceo Howard Schultz saying to billions paid out so far is not enough. What will washington do next, then . Chad pergram has got that lie from the hill with more today. Chad, whats up . Good afternoon, bill. Well, its unclear what will be in this package, or even if there will be another package. Money for the states is going to be central according to democrats. Also voting by mail, you mentioned the ppp, could there be another request there . House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says there are calls now for more direct checks. Listen. Lets see what works, what is operational, and what needs other attention, other has a suggested minimum income, a guaranteed income for people, is that worthy of attention now, perhaps so. Democrats contend aids to states in the next bill. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell has faced criticism from democrats on this. Mcconnell suggested the federal government shouldnt help states with potential bankruptcies. The white house hasnt slammed the door on assisting states, but white house Economic Advisor kevin haps is talking to lawmakers this week engaging the makeup of the next bill. We get to that last phase, then were going to need more legislation. For the next three or four months, this is going to be so much startlingly bad economic data, because of the shutdown, that i think policymakers, like they have been, should be able to come together in a bipartisan way and make, you know, smart move. Now, republicans are leery of more spending. Theyve already spiked the debt. They spent 3 trillion im coronavirus alone. Mitch mcconnell is going to reconvene the senate one week from today. They have one confirmation vote set up. Mcconnell says they are going to address coronavirus, but its hard to do without spending a lot more money, bill, back to you. Bill no doubt. Thank you chad pergram for that. And, speaking of money, heres the treasury secretary. As we began to reopen the economy in may and june, youre going to see the economy really bounce back in july, august, september. And we are putting an unprecedented amount of physical relief into the economy. You are seeing trillions of dollars thats making its way into the economy, and i think this is going to have a significant impact. Bill so making a protection they are, clearly as to when the economy comes back, july, august, september, thats what he said. Want to bring in Republican Center of south dakota, majority whip, thank you for your time today. Just listening to chad there, and Steve Minasian over that weekend, it really seems as if the next big battle in washington is what you do about the states, do you go ahead and give them more money, and if so, how do you do it, what you think as of today, senator is the right answer . I think that right now, theres a hundred 50 billion thats being made available to the states, bill, specifically for Corona Relief efforts, and i know the states would like to have greater flexibility. Thats something, i think there are a number of senators and members of congress who would consider what the democrats are talking about, is adding a whole bunch more money. Hundreds of billions of dollars in addition to what has artie been done, and i think what many of our members are prepared to do at this point is lets see whats working, whats not working, lets not borrow another several hundred billion dollars and add to the dollars that we are already putting out there before we see what kind of impact they have had. You know, obviously, states are in tough spots, we know that, but i dont think theres any amount of money in washington, or money in the world, for that matter that can hold everybody harmless, and at some point, i think we have to come to grips with reality that all of this is borrowed money, and you know, we are about 3. 7 trillion in deficit this year alone. So i think we have to look long and hard at whats working, whats not working, see whats effective, and build on that before coming up with all kind of new ideas about how to spend even more money. Bill a couple things, you mention 3. 7 trillion, and the deficit, its staggering, that number was put out at the end of last week. Cbo also said 16 on employment in september. I mean, can you imagine if sitting here with 60 on appointment in september . So many months down the line, and then perhaps, at that point, maybe the Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell revisits this whole decision as to how much money should be paid back out to the states and cities then. Well, i dont think theres any question that we will be looking and reexamining throughout this entire process, were going to monitor whats happening out there, bill, weve made it very clear, we will do whatever it takes, respond to this crisis, to get america back on its feet. But remember, there is no amount of federal spending in washington that can substitute for a dynamic, growing economy. And thats why weve got to get this economy opened up again. Weve got a deal with a health emergency. I think a big part of that solution is having a massive amount of tests available out there so we know who has it and who doesnt so we can get people back into the workplace, get consumers confidence again. Im hopeful that over the course of the next few weeks and months, we will see some improvement as he heard secretary mnuchin say. But remember, we have had to be thinking about not only the nearterm, but also the longterm. And whats the best way to get this economy back on track, pull out of this thing, and get people back to work. Bill yeah. Speaking of that, tyson foods took out a whole page out over the weekend, talk about a delicate balance. They are saying that the closures right now are so costly that the food supply is breaki breaking. You saw that. And it would appear that if we continue down this road, that theyve got a legitimate point here, senator. They do. I think at some point, thats why the usda a couple of days ago came out with guidance for meatpacking plants, working with the cdc, and the department of labor. To figure out how to get these plants operating in a safe way. I mean obviously, the first job is to protect the health and safety of the workers, but there are lots of recommendations that have been made by the cdc and others about how to open up these plans, because this food supply issue is an incredible important one. This is essential. And the security of our food supply in this country is directly related to these processing facilities. Were talking literally, about euthanizing you know, hundreds and thousands of hogs here in this region, because they have no place to go. To get processed right now. And eventually, thats going to be felt by every consumer at the supermarket. So this is a very real issue, and i think these are the types of hard decisions we have to make. Weve got a find out ways in which, and i think there are a lot of recommendations that came out over the past few days about how to do this in a way that keeps workers a safe, but also allows these plants get open and running again. Bill its really important stuff. I know you will be back in washington next monday. The 4th of may. The date when the senate comes back to work. Sir, congratulations, became a grandfather today. Yes or, how about that. Bill congratulations senator, terrific news. In a moment here, china reporting that zero people are now in the hospital for coronavirus in the epicenter of wuhan. Thats where the outbreak started. A Trump Administration official telling fox news china may have a lot more cases than it claimed. Also, what are we hearing today about north korea and the reports of Health Trouble for dictator kim jong un and . I just love hitting the open road and telling people that Liberty Mutual customizes your insurance, so you only pay for what you need [squawks] only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Mortgage rates have dropped to all time lows. By refinancing now, you can save 2000 a year. And newdays va streamline refi shortcuts the process. Veterans can refinance with no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. One call could save you 2000 a year. Bill british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson after work after recovering from covid19 which sent them to the icu several weeks ago. He says britain is on the right track but that its too soon to listen restriction there. I will get this economy moving as fast as i can, but i refuse to throw away all the efforts in the sacrifice of the british people, and to risk a second major outbreak and an overwhelming of the nhs. Bill he says the government is reaching out to businesses and across party lines about reopening, but he is offering few details about when that might happen. The u. K. Crossed 20,000 deaths over the weekend. Fox news alert now, north korean state media claiming king drunk and sent a message to the president of south africa today. This after conflicting reports about the dictator having health problems. Want to bring in Michael Pillsbury strategy at hudson institute, nonprofit think tank in washington, d. C. Michael, thanks for coming back, how in the world to be pieced together whats happening with kim jong un inside north korea, do you think . Well, keep in mind a couple of words that the cia has been using for 20 years about north korea, bill. The two words are hard target. That means its pretty difficult to get Accurate Information and have good sources at the top. Obviously, somethings happened, he hasnt shown up for two weeks. The concern everybody has, at least i have, is if there is a power struggle that breaks out among the three main factions, shall we say, his sister, his uncle, and the military, men were talking about a potential coup, violence, worstcase civil war war. The chinese intervened, south korea and American Forces go in, this is a nightmare thats been talked about for more than 20 years. I kind of coup power struggle inside pyongyang. Thats a concern about where he is. Its not just about him missing for the last two weeks, its a possibility of a real crisis. Bill i thought it was interesting, last week, i think it was thursday when the president was asked about it, he thought kim was okay. That was just an Interesting Data point as we look back on that now on this monday. In the meantime, with regard to china, Peter Navarro im sorry, michael. Yeah. But he also suggested that he was doing okay based on the information he was given. We will see where that goes. Here is navarro from the white house earlier today with heavy charges leveled at china. Looked, china spot that virus. They hit it for six weeks, they couldve contained it in wuhan, they didnt, they seeded the world with this with hundreds of thousands of chinese getting on aircrafts to milan, to new york, and other places. During that six week period, what they did was they vacuumed up the world for a personal protective equipment, over 2 billion masks, depriving public Health Care Workers around the world for them the defenses they need. And today, chinas profiteering basically from the situation. Bill that is an amazing statement to make from the white house. What do you think of that charge that hes leveling against the communist party in beijing . Well, he did say they quite a few times. China spun the virus, they sent it out, they did this, they did that. I think thats a mistake. I think his boss, President Trump has said several times, this might have been a mistake. Im going to have an investigation. Chinas doing the investigation. So peter, who is a friend of mine, i admire him. For peter to apply that xi jinping deliberately did all this, thats quite a split from the president of the United States. I advise peter modify this. He has changed things before. He wants to use very harsh language about the Prime Minister of canada, then he took it back a few days later and apologized. Maybe, one chance in a thousand xi jinping did all these things, but the presidencies there is no evidence yet, so this seems to be premature for me for peter did everything on xi jinping himself. Bill ive had 15 seconds for this, did you see bill gates interview on sunday . He talked about dont assign blame to china now, put your focus on a vaccine, it is just a distraction when you start to ask these questions about a coverup. What do you think about bill gates comment, they are, about that . Now, bill gates is among many billionaires who made a lot of money in china, who were basically trying to help china avoid a lawsuit and liability, for possible negligence or mistake. You know, the 2. 7 billion settlement that libyans had to pay had to do with their being false, it took more than 20 years to prove the case. China could be liable for hundreds of billions of dollars, so bill gates is trying to be helpful saying dont worry about this. I dont think he said stop the investigation. Because china itself claims it was having an investigation. But its going pretty far to be helping china. Bill he suggested that an investigation now is a distraction, but your focus on the vaccine. We will see where that goes. Michael, thank you for coming back. Im out of time, but thank you for years today. Michael pillsbury, thank you. In a moment, the new york mets pedal alonzo burst onto the pro baseball scene about a year ago, now hes got a new foundation to help pay it forward. He is next with a great story. Its the next one.
