Weve got breaking news coming into our studios at this hour. A major protest now breaking out in boston, the likes of which massachusetts has never seen before. People are coming out by the thousands to protest massachusetts stayathome orders. Lets bring in john cox, former California Republican gubernatorial candidate. John, great to have you on. Your reaction to this news in boston that america is not waiting. Good to be with you. Elizabeth america is not waiting for the shutdown, stay in place orders to expire. Go ahead. It is extremely troubling, liz. This is a serious illness, as you know i had it. I recovered. I had Three Friends that have been in icu. I found out a few seconds ago, my last friend is making it out but it is great. What we also need to have is a view that were not going to make the problem worse by destroying the economy or by taking away civil liberties. I think what were seeing now is disclosing the unsustainability of some of the reactions. Not just in boston but in los angeles, in california as well. Because you cant hold people down, you cant hold the economy down like we have and expect the people to continue to respect it. I saw over the weekend an interview with a swedish epidemiologist who helped design the response. I know sweden is all in the news and everything but he made the important point, liz, that if you design something that is not sustainable, the people are not going to respect it for any length of time. You will actually going to make the problem worse. This is something that the politicians dont get. They have to understand that human nature, being what it is, we want to get out, we want to go to our work. We want to be able to speak in public and when the government acts too restrictively, we rebel against it. That is what is happening. Elizabeth you know the president is set to travel to a mask factory in arizona tomorrow. By the way the Vice President said this weekend he should have worn a facemask last week at minnesotas mayo clinic. The president said now poe earningsly up to 100,000 deaths. We know this disease, which you john cox, had, three times deadly or contagious as the flu. Trump administration is privately speculating coronavirus deaths double by june 1st. Theyre pushing for states to reopen. What happens on the ground americans are frustrated with restrictive and arbitrarily enforced, a temporarily enforced stayathome orders. You take that on, john . What people are saying, liz, treat us like adults. We will certainly not put ourselves or our grandmothers in danger. Well make sure that we have careful around. I flew down to florida when i was covid infected with three other gentlemen. We were very close together, less than two feet away. None of the other gentlemen got sick. The idea that we were careful. We didnt shake hands. We didnt touch same things. I think what people are rebelling against elizabeth did you wear masks . No. We didnt have a mask. Elizabeth did you wear masks . You didnt . I, no. I didnt even know i was infected at that point in time but we were still cautious. And thats the point. Adults are going to behave in a way to make sure that they are cautious, especially with this. We all all four of us knew the disease was out there. We knew it was going on. We watched the news. So we were very careful. The point is, none of the other three tested positive, even though they were sitting right next to me just about. The point is, we can act as adults. We can make sure were protected. We can make sure that we dont kill grand ma or grandpa but treat us like adults. That is what a lot of protests are about, paternalistic government. Face it, liz, this happens in so many other spheres, government feels like they have to take over and do everything for us, that were too stupid to do it ourselves. I think were a lot smarter than a lot of politicians give us credit for. I would ask politicians look at the totality of what theyre asking us to do. Elizabeth okay. So this, all right, by the way, medical investigators are now looking for evidence that covid19 started killing people as early as november, that news coming in. We know the senate has come back to work today. Were waiting, when the house will announce when they get back. Theyre trying to work safely down there in washington. A lot of these lawmakers are, are senior citizens. This weeks jobs report is expected to look ugly, potentially 30 Million People out of work, maybe even higher. Unbelievable. California for the first time, california, california is the first state to borrow money from the federal taxpayer to pay jobless benefits. Were breaking all sorts of norms here. That is what is going on in this country. You know, we saw this story also the story a few weeks ago, the fda is approving tests, 150 of them, only approved 10 tests that are fda approved. 150 in the market are not fdaapproved. I hear what youre saying, seeing decisions made state to state, federal level. Americans are saying what are you doing . Liz, what hasnt been talked about in any great extent here the effect on our psychology. Im a businessman, im an investment advisor. I understand psychology really makes a difference how investors feel, how consumers feel. You know, one of the problems, the great depression, which i dont want to repeat, im sure you dont either, is that the psychology was impacted because people said, im just not going to feel good about going spending. Im not feeling good about make the investment. In order to have a Strong Economy we all need to have confidence. We all have to have trust things will turn out a lot better and im afraid, liz, as you mentioned, well have a report of 30 million, jobs report on friday. Weve already seen gdp fall off the table. That is going to get worse. A lot of these politicians are playing with fire and they dont really understand it because theyre not not private sector that much but theyre destroying the confidence of people have in the economy. I applaud the president when he speaks optimistically because, what he is trying to do, frankly, is rebuild our confidence in the face of some of these horrendous statistics well see. I think we need to see more leadership like that and work to really repair the psychology which i think is being very damaged by this economic shutdown. Elizabeth john cox, thanks for coming coming on. Thank you, liz. Elizabeth sorry we ran out of time. Later in the show we bring in rnc chairwoman Ronna Mcdaniel, that tara reade is facing a barrage of harrassment and threats on her allegation that joe biden sexually assaulted her. That story coming up. Want to brain better . Unlike ordinary memory supplements neuriva has clinically proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. Memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. Try neuriva for 30 days and see the difference. Elizabeth lets break away from the political fights in washington to show you whats going on the ground. Look at this video that has now gone viral. It happened on ninth street, avenue d in the east village in new york city. A big outcry. A bystander was watching nypd take down a couple for violating social distancing rules. Suddenly an nypd officer who was not wearing a mask, breaks away from that arrest, walks over to the bystander with his stun gun drawn, slaps and punches the bystander, drags him to a sidewalk, after leveling him in a crosswalk. Lets get to louisiana senator bill cassidy. Also a doctor. Great to have you on, doctor. Weve seen fights breaking out in various states across the country. It is getting nasty out there. The American People are saying were out of a job. Politicians get paid. The media get their paychecks. Were not getting it. People are scared about the backlash coming toward them for violating social distancing rules. Youre reaction . There is lot of frustration, totally get that. What we need to do, im speaking now totally as a physician, use sirens to reopen society. Having conversations with my communities back in baton rouge. If you look in area of a city, not generally distributed where people have disease. Often times focal points. If you put resources there, you test folks, you are quarantine, Congress Giving resources to do that. You can bring down the transmission rate. You safely begin to reopen the economy, i think we have to push for that. Elizabeth okay. The other thing too, were seeing news coming in. We have the university of california, san francisco, theyre working now, they found five drug compound that work including hydroxychlorquine. They are finding common antihistamines, common cough suppressants are working. Haldol working, a cancer compound, disrupts proteins that virus attaches to in human cells. Dr. Birx is saying on paper we might have a vaccine by january. Oxford University Says by june you could see a vaccine. Reaction to medical news,. All that is promising. You have to make sure it works inside of people and it is safe as well. On one hand, we have to use science where to focus preventative medicine, keeping transmission rate less than one, but continue to work on the vaccine and therapeutics. All of society approach, were all in it together. Everything to describe it is encouraging. You want to make sure it turns out to be useful. Elizabeth okay. We started the show showing breaking news, protests happening now in boston. It is unlike anything that the state of massachusetts had seen. It is a different kind of a process. It is saying reopen. Thousands of people pouring into what is happening in this protest happening right now in boston. Also were seeing protests even in hawaii, maryland. Were seeing protests in california, certainly in michigan. Protesters are saying their Constitutional Rights are being infringed upon. Concerns are growing that prematurely opening could cost constituents their lives. What is your reaction to that . I will go back to what ive been saying, if you look where the virus is, it is not generally distributed. It is focused in some areas. If you focus resources in those areas, granted it can spread, you have to do contact tracing. Congress has given billions to states to implement the programs. We have have to go beyond at some point, everybody has to stay in their home, wait a second, over here, this region of the state seems to be doing okay. This place is still having trouble but we can put the resources in there, with lots of testing, with tracking of that testing to make sure we know what is going on, to decrease the burden of disease. It is about using science to decrease the burden of disease, as long as one size fits all, people will increasingly become frustrated as they see their community is not affect and theyre being locked down for something across their state. Elizabeth then were seeing another trend. Were looking at the American Civil Liberties union, the aclu, suing the state of california toe release early from prison, 500 inmates from jail in orange county. There is a concern that covid19 is spreading through prisons. Washington state was sued by an activist group though they wanted two thirds of prison population released in washington state. California released seven sex offenders in orange county, they are high risk, will reoffend. Guess what, one of the sex offenders was rearrested for exposing himself in public. Americans are out of a job, they want to work, they see this going on. Your reaction. I understand people are clearly frustrated, we have concerns about the guards, staff, families of guards and staffs in prisons. There are concerns there. You should not release sex offenders or violent criminals. If you have a mayor went to prison for nine years, maybe the mayor gets out early. If you have person committing section crimes thats a different story. We have dont have to just think about the inmates but the guards. I say that. I have a facility in my state, a lot of guards and families have been affected. Im very concerned about those americans who are trying to serve the rest of us, how do we mitigate the risk for them. For me that is my concern. Elizabeth snort, talk to us quickly about the outbreak in louisiana of covid19 and in the can you give us an update . In the new orleans region, maybe mardi gras instigated it, it became a hotbed if you will and the number of cases really spiked. We have a stayathome order in place t flattened the curve. We always had enough surplus icu beds and ventilators. So tip of the hat to both my hospitals back home, doctors, nurses, et cetera, at home State Government planning that. They did that well. Theyre flattening the curve. People are getting restless there. I go back to what i said earlier, look at new orleans and Jefferson Parish. It is not everywhere in new orleans and Jefferson Parish which have lots of virus, certain tracks in certain places. We have to measure census tracks, going to Nursing Homes and group homes. And apartment come mixes with folks living over 60, knowing theyre particularly at risk if infection an terse the population. If we do the screening there, quarantining when we need to, it is all voluntary but were trying to save lives, then you will decrease the rate of infection spreading more rapidly in a more safely opens the economy that is the approach we have to be changing to now, a more granular containment approach as opposed to everybody stay at home, even if it is across the state from where it is a problem. Elizabeth vaccine registry, right . A vaccine registry which weve had in the past, right . What i think would totally help that if you had a way to establish whether somebody has been exposed or not. Maybe their rna, their nasal swab was positive and they cleared the infection. Most likely we dont know for sure yet, most likely they are now less, theyre resistent to getting a new infection. If you do an antibody test, you find they have antibodies to the coronavirus, this particular one, most likely they are going to be immune of the more people we know are immune, the more you can open up the economy. That is our goal. Elizabeth senator cassidy, great to have you on, sir, thank you, sir. Thank you, liz. Elizabeth special programing note. This thursday at 1 00 p. M. Eastern time ken langone and Bernie Marcus will join neil cavuto for america work stogether, virtual town hall. If youre a Small Business owner or needing a loan or having to deal with unemployment, message fox business on facebook or instagram, email us at investedinyou foxbusiness dotcom. Include a video asking a question, you may be featured on the special. Why not, take a shot. Reports of a scathing rebuke issued bit five is, consortium of intelligence notice u. S. , uk, australia, canada and new zealand supports what the president is saying, secretary of state saying, that china accidentally leaked covid19 from the Wuhan Institute of virology and tried to cover it up this is story we brought to you two months ago. This is just for starters. We have more breaking news, retired marine corps Lieutenant Colonel dakota wood will weigh in. The story is next. Er. Nothing gentler. Nothing lasts longer. Flonase sensimist. 24 hour nondrowsy allergy relief me too. Me too. And if youre a Small Business, were with you. Standing by you every step of the way. Bye bye. Elizabeth lets welcome retired marine corps Lieutenant Colonel dakota wood. Great to have you on. U. S. Intelligence community believes that china intentionally concealed the origin ever outbreak in order to pull in medical supplies around the world. Your reaction to that story . It is good to have more than the u. S. Saying that, that our allies saying the same thing reaching those conclusions. It is not surprising at all if it turns out to be accurate, the repressive authoritarian government in beijing reacted like that. That they control information, always have a posture being in control. They dont want to be embarrassed and they will hide any kind of problems that might exist inside of the country. It really shouldnt come as a surprise. It lists a warning that you cant trust what china is saying anymore what you can trust what moscow is saying or north korea or iran. We always have to verify information via second and third order sources. Elizabeth you know, colonel, we reported a couple of months ago that china was trying to grab the patent for remdesivir in january before the world knew what was going on. Then were seeing reports china researchers are trying to attack Gileads Remdesivir as not working. That is another story what youre saying, the australia newspaper, the telegraph, is reporting on a leaked, scathing rebuke of china, the five eyes consortium, that china accidentally leaked covid19 from the Wuhan Institute of virology. Look at this, this is what theyre finding. That china had a virus, working on a virus just like the one that has broken loose in 2013. That they have been working on it for seven years. We saw this happen in 2004 when sars cov broke out of a lab in beijing and infected one person, may have killed nine people. Weve been here before, colonel. Yes. Do all countries do some form of Genetic Research to come up with new vaccines and treatments. If youre concerned about bioterrorism, biowarfare, how would you respond to that effectively with treatments. The fact they were working on it should be a surprise. The fact they had lax protocols, something escaped the lab, is testament or damnation of their incompetency doing these sort of things. It is not a surprise. It is an indication of the nature of this particular regime. If you also follow that kind of reporting they removed any instances of reporting from social media. They restrict the flow of information, especially to their own people to maintain this facade of authority there in beijing. So this should really translate into the nature of economic relationships we have. Whether we allow china to build 5g infrastructure in places like the continent of europe and certainly the states. So everything needs to be taken with skepticism and some kind of assurety that we carnival date or go to a second or third source to verify anything that beijing says. Elizabeth yeah. Its happening now. Europe is pushing to effectively punish china saying, we dont want huawei in here. That is what germany and france is saying. Were seeing countries in africa, certainly france, theyre calling in their ambassadors, chinese ambassadors saying what are you doing there in ch
