We dont want them to do mailin ballots because it is going to lead to total election fraud. Theres a reason for it, thats okay. But we dont want to take any chances with fraud in our election. Bill so sending absentee ballot applications because of the virus. Threaten to pull federal funds from that state. Today the latest trip to a battleground state during the pandemic comes after weeks of protests in michigan inc. Is a democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer who stay at home orders continue. She says that keeping people safe, we start this our reporting live from the white house, we might be interrupted here come up theres a lot going on in michigan. In the dam is breaking earlier this week in 2020 running right through that state and electoral sense. Good day to you on the north lawn. Michigan is literally underwater right now from those floods and financially underwater because they are out of jobs right now, just got those unemployment numbers, two and a half Million People nationwide over the last week but its quite an exchange between President Trump and leaders in michigan, Gretchen Whitmer, also the secretary of state, the president called yesterday on twitter a rogue secretary of state, first weeding out that she was mailing ballots to people in michigan, then corrected his tweet saying that she was mailing ballot applications. The secretary of state a democrat said she had every right to do that as part of the constitution in michigan. Governor Gretchen Whitmer also is backing her secretary of state and saying its ridiculous for President Trump especially during a pandemic and during a time of flooding and a lot of concerns to talk even about pulling out federal funding, and i asked President Trump on the south lawn a couple of hours ago before he headed out to joint base andrews before his flight to michigan about this tying together the federal funding with the voting, and he still couldnt assure people that he was not going to do that. He was he said we will see what happens but he still wouldnt commit to backing off that threat. Bill in terms of the overall operation, this is a big deal for ford. They are going to crank out 50,000 of these ventilators by midjuly whether we need them here at home or any other country around the world, going to get a good use over the next year unfortunately. Also, you have this red state blue state battle that ron desantis really went after yesterday. Mike pence was down there yesterday and he unloaded on a lot of things including this. Watch here. We have a lower death rate, everyone up there. We have a lower death rates in the midwest, illinois, michigan, indiana, ohio. But even in our region, louisiana, mississippi, alabama, georgia, florida has a lower death rate and i was a number one landing spot for tens of thousands of people leading the number one hot zone in the world to come to my state. So we succeeded, and i think people just dont want to recognize it because it challenges their narrative data challenges their assumption, so theyve got to try to find a bogeyman. Bill he didnt hold back and neither did the New York Post. We saw it last night. New york post, it needs to end now. In this piece ends with the following line. We did what we were asked, we flatten the freaking curve, no longer any reasonable justification for the government to deprive us of our livelihoods. How are these arguments being treated at the white house . That the exact kind of argument you are hearing at the white house, something President Trump has said for the past few weeks and speaking of governor desantis, he was fiery yesterday with Vice President mike pence. Guess who else is saying the same thing . Not only President Trump but the neighbor in atlanta, georgia. He was criticized very much so over the past several weeks for wanting to open up his state so soon and a lot of people saying you are not just seeing those numbers in georgia like people thought that you would see my opening up early. So applauding that New York Post comment today, several advisors telling me that they just want fair coverage, something President Trump has said from the beginning. Bill nice work on the north lawn. Meanwhile, back to michigan in a moment but first, this is well. That is a very positive announcement in addition to all the other announcements. We are so far ahead of where people thought we would be, but therapeutically, its very interesting whats going on, so youre going to have a lot of big announcements over the next week or two. Bill a lot of this has to do with operation warp speed, after the fed reached a deal to secure mass doses of a potential Coronavirus Vaccine as early as october. Want to bring in dr. Marc siegel and fox news medical contributor. I know youve been very hot on this. Crazy d12, bring us up to speed, is it on schedule . And what does it mean . We are hearing more and more good news on this. Going to phase two trials meaning of the first phase showed safety and some immunity and several individuals. We know the fisa vaccine is on track. My own hospital is doing the phase one trials and now we are hearing about astrazeneca. We know they partnered with Oxford University last month. They are using a slightly Older Technology that is more triedandtrue, more proven where you actually take a different virus and put the proteins on from this virus, and you injected to see if you can cause antibodies. We have seen it work in monkeys already. Theyve tried it on 1,000 people in Great Britain already. Those results will be out when a week or two but for some reason, maybe they know something good we dont know. They are now accelerating going to be going to 30,000 individuals by the fall and the United States has pledged 1. 2 billion to support this cause. Is a partnership between Oxford University and astrazeneca. Bill two more things here, the cdc says more than 80 of those who have died in america are age 65 plus. You are a very hot on the possibility or not of the second wave. How do you factor in what weve been through, what we are prepared for, and do you believe as of today that a second wave is possible here, what is your analysis on that . I am more worried today than i was yesterday and its because its an evolving situation. We have to be looking at it day by day to figure this out because i was saying before that australia has had very good numbers, and they have. But they are in lock down. Today, i dont like whats coming out of brazil. They have close to 300,000 cases in brazil, also a Southern Hemisphere country, but theyve had the highest number of cases on record over the last 24 hours, close to 25,000 cases in argentina is gearing up. So if i see south america which is not on lockdown seeing more cases, this is their equivalent of late november down there. Late may is late november down there by our estimation, that is when our second wave would be late november. We are looking to them to see what we could anticipate here and they are seeing a surge of cases. I dont like that, and that makes me think a second wave is more possible. Bill thank you, dr. Marc siegel. Nice to see you. Waiting on the president , want to bring in josh hawley from the hill and lawmakers are still at odds has two what would be a phase for bill. What is the status of that today as you head into memorial weekend . I think there is no chance they will be taking up the houses plan to bail out blue states. Ill tell you what we should be focused on his jobs. Should be focused on trying to get every American Worker back to work who has lost a job and to protect every job in this country. Thats what we need to be focused on going forward, not bailouts for politicians. Bill do you think you get to a phase for . Or is that 50 50 as of . I think there will be a phase four. The question is what is going to be in it and has to be vital here that we focus on jobs. Just today, the new jobless numbers or route, 40 millions of americans have lost their jobs, over half a million in my home state of missouri. We have to get people working again. In bill is it 1 trillion, 2 trillion . It is confounding to even say that yet again. It is. And this is why the idea of spending 3 trillion which is what the House Democrats want on bailing out blue states is just ridiculous, a total nonstarter. I certainly will not vote for that. We need targeted relief toward employment getting people working again. Bill i want to talk to about a story thats breaking from overseas. Put a laser focus on beijing as you well know ever since covid19 broke out, swept around the world. Now there is concern about hong kong and the freedom of the people in hong kong. What is your sense about what beijing may or may not do in terms of limiting freedoms and what is our role in that . Beijing is threatening to introduce legislation that would strip hong kong of all of its liberties, essentially stripped the city of its independent status, this would be a violation of their own treaty commitments, and weve got to stop it. I am introducing a resolution today to condemn beijings actions and to call on all three nations to stand with hong kong. Heres the bottom line, they want to do to hong kong what they want to do to us which is the take away our independence, our economic independence. Weve got to stop that. Bill calls it highly destabilizing. Thank you for your time. The republican from missouri, thank you. Back to michigan in a moment, President TrumpPresident Trump touring the ford factory, theyve done an amazing thing there. Ventilators being made inside during the pandemic. Also, colleges across the country taking decisions about how to bring students back to campus. I will talk with the University President who says he is weighing all options as of today.

The damage is truly devastating to see how high the water levels are, roofs barely visible and to see a lake thats been drained and another part truly remarkable how much damage we have sustained. Bill forcing thousands of people out of their homes after heavy rain brought down to dams. Signing an Emergency Declaration while he is in the state today. Live in michigan well north of lansing where one of those dams well. How does it look today . Good afternoon. It looks a lot better in terms of flood waters, but theres a lot of destruction out here. Was just a matter of overnight for this to fill up 9 feet deep with floodwater. The catch is, it doesnt belong there. Floated about three blocks from where its foundation is bumped up to a novelty here, this museum they have in san for michigan, and you could see where the floodwater cause them to buckle. All of that was caused by the dam about 10 miles north of here which failed sending the floodwaters down to the sanford dam which also failed moving all this floodwater in. The catch is back to 2018, that you can build a inspection with federal inspectors writing that Something Like this could happ happen. They need to be held accountab accountable. Need to see what could have prevented this because clearly it was something that we knew was coming in a matter of time and should have been taken. Witnesses tell me there is a trailer park nearby saying all the residents there were evacuated and under 5 minutes. Overall, some 11,000 people evacuated. Midland police say thus far they are aware of no injuries which is really remarkable. But just as fast as the floodwaters came in here, i can show you down this road and if you can see all the way down there, you can see about a halfmile where the floodwaters have retreated again. Back to you. Bill thank you, on the ground there in michigan. At some College Athletes soon can go back to campus, football and basketball players, goes in effect the 1st of june 10 days away. Individual workouts on campus as they follow the local, state and federal safety guidelines. We will track that. Also Big Decisions being made at colleges and universities as they get ready to reopen in the fall. Among them, the university of kentucky in lexington. The schools president said they are still working how to safely bring the students back. President of the school, university of kentucky, great to have you wanting good afternoon to you. Thank you, i appreciate the opportunity. Bill i know your school very well, i know youve been beaten down the doors here trying to figure it out. I have a nephew, a godson of mine who was of freshman at your school who is 19 and i reached out to him earlier today and said what do you want to know from your school . Here is his questions, i think they are pretty good ones. He wants to know how will that affect sporting events, how will it affect campus capacity mama and so far how was the school dealing with the loss of funds . Lets start there. First of all, our goal is to return in the fall to a residential experience that is as you heard from your godson, that is safer and healthier. We know that weve got to use our most precious resource, our faculty staff and students to come up with those solutions. We know we can use technology at a higher level to our advantage, and we still have to maintain that higher touch, those important relationships that a residential experience provides. We will have to do that in an entirely different way, but we have a tried and true process or do we have 500 people working around the table now, a big table, and i am confident they are going to come up with answers to satisfy your godson and satisfy everybody else we serve. In we have over 400 Million Research enterprise, we have a grant under way now that we want to show the commonwealth in the country how to reduce opioid deaths by 40 in just three years. We provide the most sophisticated and complex care on this campus. We have over 40,000 patients a year hospitalized, and then 1 ot together the depth and breadth of disciplines not only to tackle covid, but to provide a distinctive educational experience. Your godson when hes ready for the workforce, a College Education is the best thing to protect you against unemployment, the best thing to make certain that our job is being recreated as we speak that youre going to be prepared for those. Bill is a great answer and i hope you can pull it off successfully. I know youve broken into a few teams, i think what people fail to realize, youve got 30,000 students, 18,000 faculty members. You have a town that relies on the school. You have more than just considerations for a classroom in this. Entirely. We are going to be as successful as our community is, but we have advantages. Lexington has a high level of educated people, it is not as dense as some of those places that lend themselves to outbreaks. We work closely with our school systems, our faculty heavily engaged in everything that is going on in community, we are reaching out to them to be part of our solution, so we believe at the end what we come up with even more highly effective because of the engagement that we have done with great purpose. Bill you say you will make decisions by midjune. Is that still the schedule as of today or have you decided . That is our schedule, very excited, we put our scenarios out that we have statements in two days. They will be going back to our community again larger communities, we make better decisions when we listen to what they have to say. But thats what we are going to do when we will have a team of 500 people, multiinterdisciplinary teams that will come up with solutions. Bill lets bring you back when you are ready to announce it. Thank you for your time from the university of kentucky. President trump on the ground in michigan visiting a ford plant listening to a session with africanamerican leaders. That plan now makes ventilators. In a key battleground states, joe biden trying to reach voters from home, a Digital Strategy is working from delaware. Next. The return of drifting drafting the return of the slide job ripping the wall gasngo bumpnrun the return of loud nascar is back, and xfinity is bringing you the best seat in the house. Bill leading with local leaders, that plan has been repurposed for personal protective equipment, theyve done a great job. We are expecting to hear from the president any moment now, we will bring that to you when that gets underway. Meanwhile, the president visits another battleground state today. How is joe bidens campaign trying to reach voters during a shutdown . The headline reads this way, the coronavirus pandemic is hindering the democratic president ial contenders ability to coordinate with his party. Went to bring in president obamas former state department spokesperson, good day to you, good afternoon to you. As a democrat, youve got an election to try and win. How much does it pain you to see your candidate hold up still in his house in delaware in late may . It is certainly a challenge for everyone right now how to communicate with voters, how to raise money, how to get out your message, but what weve seen is that joe biden bleed over President Trump and so many of these polls. So joe biden may be in delaware and may be out on the campaign trail in some way, but joe bidens still beating him in increasing his lead over him, also joe biden is having better fundraising months and at any other point in this campaign, joe biden has a challenge. And hes doing something right. Bill 11 points nationally, a national there. Leads by five points nationally on that level. Simone sanders was on yesterday and said he may not leave home before august. How does that win . I think one of the things democrats learned in 2016 was how you reach voters through twitter and the internet, through organizing online and he did a really good job of that. I will give him credit for that. He reached people in a raise democrats werent reaching then so it is possible to reach voters and get your message out from your basement in delaware or wherever joe biden is, and i think thats very important that he and his team are looking for new ways to do that. Whether its a latenight show interview, whether its these huge fundraisers they been having online with guests like Pete Buttigieg getting huge crowds and raising a lot of money. Bill one of these virtual. A totally unprecedented place. Bill one of these things had 2700 people on it. No press conferences, there was an article today that said there have been no meetings for democratic lawmakers. Just seems like a very stubborn thing to be able to pull off ultimately. Like i said, it is really hard, but the Trump Campaign will have some of the same challenges. Yes, President Trump has more flexibility to fly around the country, but we have seen members of congress who were up for reelection or new members running, people running for the senate being very creative and finding ways to reach voters to reach their constituents and joe biden is doing the same thing. Donald trump whenever he goes out there and talks about his coronavirus response, its also not a net positive for him necessarily. He often says things to get him in trouble, to get him criticized. So just because he can be out there talking more, it doesnt mean its necessarily a positive for him. Sometimes when your opponent is making mistakes, the best thing to do was get out of the way. Bill there is this conventional wisdom running around were republicans want to get the country moving again and democrats want to keep a lid on it and listen to whatever numbers are coming out. Do you sense that where you are . I think that is a false comparison and a straw man. Democrats also want to reopen the country, they want the economy going again, but they want to do it safely and not just throw the doors wide open without the proper precautions being in place. So you see people like mike to wine, our home state of ohio, he is a republican governor who is also being cautious. So i think we should look at these governors who are taking cautious steps and having flexibility built into their plans if they reopen and things dont go the way they expected. Bill marie harf with us today, we will analyze it together so do not get tired. Thank you. This from the white house on going to church from earlier today. The churches are not being treated with respect by a lot of the democratic governors. I want to get our churches open, and we are going to take a very strong position. Bill the question coming about the debate over churches, some religious leaders saying they will open their doors despite the restrictions and we will talk about the legal ramifications in various states on that. Lori laughlin likely to spend some time in prison for her role in the College Admission scandal. There were developments on this today and you will hear about them coming up next.

Bill earlier this hour, President Trump said the feds will issue guidelines for churches to reopen very soon. This says chicago is starting to find a churches that do not follow that states restrictions on gatherings. Matt finn reports live in chicago on the fines and whether or not they will happen. In they were hit with 500 Disorderly Conduct citations for Holding Services with more than ten people. We happen to be at one of those services, and the pastor now tells us his church is going to keep going despite their 500 citation. This particular church is limited to 75 people in attendance, roughly 10 of its total congregation, people attending are asked to meet 13 requirements including not showing symptoms and being less than 65. The pastor tells us he feels he loves his congregation more than the government. He sees Big Box Stores and Grocery Stores being trusted to safely allow more than ten people inside. He says hes not looking for trouble and should be given the same trust. Thats our call. We dont look for it, we dont seek it. That is not the purpose of it. Not to challenge the mayor, but to be a blessing to our people, to offer a haven of hope for our people, and we have done that online for 42 services. Currently, illinois governor is limiting religious gatherings to ten people or less. Nearly 100 pastors across chicagoland tell us they are demanding to meet with the governor to discuss what they consider our common sense plans to reopen. Regarding the 500 citations, Chicago Police tell us, we continue to ask everyone to help contain the spread of the virus by staying home and practicing social distancing so once we have begun to recover and reopen, residents can return to their religious services in a safe manner. And Church Groups coasttocoast are protesting their governors orders. The Catholic Church said it is going to reopen with or without their governors okay. Bill thank you for that from illinois to california, more than 1,000 pastors in that state say they are planning to start in Person Services next sunday even though that will not be allowed under the stay at. It comes after the Justice Department to send a notice that his reopening plan discriminates against churches and places an unfair burden on them. At some Church Leaders say they will also start Holding Services in minnesota where gatherings are limited to ten people. Want to bring in a former acting ag Matthew Whitaker of the author of a brandnew book called above the law. Nice to see you again, thank you for the time. Minnesota, california, oregon, illinois, kentucky, issues and all of these states. How do they resolve . First of all, there is no pandemic exception to our bill of rights and our religious freedoms are very important and for a lot of people with deeply held religious beliefs, going to the Grocery Store going to these essential services were people can safely distance is as important to them is going to church. So i think the department of justices role in sending letters to governors saying that you need to include religious services as you reopen because religious people are the same people that are going to the mosques in the churches in the synagogues are also the same ones going to the Grocery Stores following these name practices. So one of the important roles of the department of justice and the attorney general in one of the things i talk about in my new book is how they are solely responsible for protecting these religious liberties across the country. Bill it is hard to see how under any reading of the first amendment, the mall of america can be opened while churches must keep their doors closed, all but a handful outside of minneapolis, minnesota. The rubber hits the road when you start issuing citations. When they citations or other government actions try to shut these churches down, i think you will expect not only civil disobedience on behalf of these people of faith but you will see judges in the federal courts and u. S. Attorneys in these federal districts enforcing these Constitutional Rights of these worshipers. Bill we picked up an email a bit earlier today from the archdiocese of new york trying to figure out how they can open up their churches here in new york, st. Patricks cathedral is a big part of all this now. Can you understand a way to do this where you can worship and keep safe and allow the doors to come open yet again . I think its very simple. Obviously, we want to be smart and safe and follow all the guidelines from the feds and the states and localities. However, you can safely socially distance, where face coverings in all the other things, all of these businesses opening up, the churches can also open up, and you cannot discriminate against the churches in the synagogues and the mosques in the restrictions you are putting on these businesses. Bill of what im hearing is theres no clear road map at any time you have that, it is right for confusion. It is, but the constitution has no pandemic exception so we need to make sure we are not discriminating against and the dojs concern and bill barrs concern as we discriminating against people of faith for the same people going to these Grocery Stores that are safely opening. Bill nice to see you again, thank you for coming by today. There was a good chance full house actress will serve prison time as part of a deal to plead guilty in the College Admissions scandal. Molly line with the news today in boston. Laurie laughlin and her Fashion Designer husband are scheduled to plead guilty, to make it official to conspiracy charges tomorrow via videoconference. The 23rd and 24th parents, that is the number of where they stand in this case to admit their role in this nationwide scandal that has ensnared so many of the rich and powerful. Lori laughlin will plead to one count conspiracy under the plea agreement she gets two months in prison. Calls for more time behind bars, five months, also to a conspiracy count. Both agree for community service, charges of bribery and Money Laundering would be dismissed after sentencing. Prosecutors say they paid half a Million Dollars through the ringleader to facilitate bribes and create a phony athletic profiles to get into the university of Southern California as members of the crew team though neither team was ever a rower. Photos released showed both girls posing for pictures. U. S. Attorney rights the defendants will serve prison terms reflecting their respective roles in a conspiracy to corrupt the College Admissions process which are consistent with prior sentences in the case. So far, 19 defendants have been sentenced, and they have faced a range of penalties from probation to nine months in prison. Is worth noting that the judge does not have to stick to the terms of these plea agreements. So they may very well spend more or less time in prison that it was to upon with the prosecuto prosecutors. Bill molly line in boston with that today. Reopening for a holiday weekend.

That Liberty Mutual customizes your insurance, i just love hitting the open road and telling people so you only pay for what you need [squawks] only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Bill the president is taking questions, first one was about churches reopening. They think its good politics to keep it closed, but what are they doing . I dont think it is good politics. They are hurting themselves, so i think you were going to see they are being forced to open, the people want to get out. You will break the country if you dont. And i think they look at it as a possible november question, it happens to be very bad for them. So you are going to see that happening. I think the Third Quarter is going to be that transitional quarter, we are almost there and it is going to be the transition recorder and going to be really good, but the Fourth Quarter is going to be big and next year is going to be a big year for this country. In your words my breaking of the country unless we start the reopening process more quickly . I think we are very close to opening up the rest. Theres a lot of pressure put on certain governors that should be further along. They should further along than they are, and they should not be doing what theyre doing, so we will see what happens, but the country is going to be in a very good place. And we have a lot of ammunition left, you know what that means. A lot of ammunition left in the country in terms of the fed and the treasury and all the people that are working on it. We have a lot of ammunition left, unlimited ammunition if we need it, but we wont need it. Mr. President , are you prioritizing the reopening of churches over other establishments . Not at all. They are so important in terms of the psyche of our country, beyond essential. I think churches are essential. So important. People want to be on their churches, wonderful to sit home and watch something on a laptop but it can never be the same as being the church or being with your friends, and i think thats going to be happening very shortly, so that will be put out may be tomorrow maybe today. You said yesterday and a tweet that you might withdraw funding from michigan. Later in the afternoon, you seem to say that wasnt necessary. Is that threat still on the table . President trump i didnt say it wasnt necessary, is that i might have to do that. We are not going to go to voting by mail. Voting by mail is wrought with fraud and abuse, and people dont get their ballots that happen to be in a certain district whether its republican or democrat, thousands of ballots are sent out, but they dont happen to get them so people call in a panic where is it, the election is coming and all of a sudden the election comes, it goes, and they say i never got a valid but it did affect because thousands of people that happens to, you go when you vote. Ideally, you vote with voter i. D. And then you really have an election. But this country, you go out and you buy things and you have a picture of it, the most important thing you can do is vote and they dont want to go with voter i. D. So ideally that would be the ideal. There are many places that have that, but no, we dont want to have vote by mail. We want people to vote now. You are president of the United States and if you vote in florida and you cant be there, you should be able to send in a ballot. You are not well, feeling terrible, sick, you have a reasonable excuse, you should be able to vote by mail in. You vote by mail in. But when they send in the case of nevada where they want to send out thousands and thousands of ballots, and then going to send them back, who knows who signed the ballad . Is anyone acknowledging that was mr. Smith, that was pastor darrell scott, scott turner, john james, rate john james, better win because he would be missing something if you dont vote for this guy. But who are these people that are voting . It comes by mail may be, maybe it doesnt. A lot of the problem is if you have an all democrat area, now i have to tell you, the abuse tended to be on a certain side rather than another side. We wont get into that, and frankly, the republicans had a very big event on tuesday where we have a man named mike garcia who was a congressman and a democrat area was not expected to happen and he won by a lot of votes. You know about that, that was a big decision. That was an incredible victory, first time in 22 years, so something is happening, but that was a vote by mail, they mailed it in and actually, the democrats saw they were losing and all of a sudden, they threw voter boots up in certain democrat areas. Didnt have much of an impact. And so mike garcia won and we won in wisconsin, but we cant do that to really vote without fraud, you have to go when you have to vote at the polling place. People have to check you in. Could you just clarify what federal funding youre considering removing from michigan . I am not going to discuss that. There are so many forms of funding, and we are not going to discuss that. What we want is good, straight, honest voting. And by the way, if that could be honest which obviously, it cant be. You get a ballot, sitting in your bedroom signing it, who knows who is signing it. Who knows if they dont pirate . They pirate these applications, they print the new voting forms, and then they send them around, people assign them or one person signs them with obviously theres going to be fraud.

The governor made an announcement that they beaches are open. What he didnt announce that a lot of our businesses that really are built in to handle that influx, they are not open. They were down about 10,000 restaurants that typically help us manage that influx and help with the food distribution. Those restaurants are all closed down except for at the municipal level, a lot of governors and the president put out these orders and restrictions. Here at the municipal level, we are charged with actually implementing and enforcing them. Its going to be a good weekend. We are excited to people coming back. Bill i dont need to tell you that memorial weekend on the jersey shore is that is the entire year. If you have problems, what have you instructed your police to do . Are you going to write citations . How are you going to manage th this . Absolutely not. Our police have no interest interesting people because they are are coming to the jersey shore to celebrate memorial weekend feared we are relying on people to use common sense.
