Happy memorial day weekend. The evening edit starts right now. Liz lets go right to Edward Lawrence with the headlines out of washington. Reporter the will to open up, spreading as fast as the coronavirus did since the first case arrived in the United States and President Donald Trump making sure the opening up includes places of worship. He deemed them today essential businesses. I call upon governors to allow our churches and places of worship to open right now. If there is any question, they will have to call me but they will not be successful in that call. These are places that hold our society together and keep her people united. 48 states are allowing some or all businesses to start up again. White house coronavirus experts say the hospitalizations are down dramatically since april and every state in the nation is now testing positive of under 10 . Still white house advisor kevin says nationwide 69 of businesses are now open. If you look at the data its fair to be optimistic in its opening up and itll get the economy going again in peoples lives are at risk. He warns there will be bad Economic Data still coming out, he sees the body him at the end of this month, and to keep the economy open and get it going again, President Donald Trump talking to Mitch Mcconnell about phasing off the coronavirus benefits which is made it more attractive not to look for a job and stay on unemployment. Also the White House Press secretary chastising reporter saying they were quick to convict Michael Flynn but have not followed up on any outstanding questions related to the Obama Administration given the president and his staff around him a pass about what did they do, who knew what and when did they do it. I laid out a series of questions that any good journalist would want to answer why people are Wearing Masks and all sorts of questions. I wanted to followup with you on that, did anybody take it upon themselves to oppose any questions about Michael Flynn unmasking present obama spokesperson. Not a single journalist. Reporter back to you. Liz edward, what a day in d. C. Thank you so much for your reporting. Great to see you. Lets get back to the fight over reopening. All 50 states have lifted at least some stayathome restrictions ahead of a threeday memorial weekend. President trump says he will not let the country shut down again if there is a second wave. That is in contrast with other Administration Officials who are not ruling out advising new serious measures in response to the second wave. A new Associated Press poll, it shows that american opposition to stayathome orders, more than doubled since a month ago and now one in four opposing versus one in ten in april. New yorkers talking about a scorching column that really blasted how the shutdown orders have been conveyed and enacted. It is in the New York Post. Democrat leaders, your shutdown orders, enough is enough, its hurting americans, he says open up now. Lets welcome the author of that New York Post here is david marcus. Great to have you on. People are talking about your column, why do you say in the lockdowns now . I read a column this weekend in response to seen images of new yorkers lined up about 4 30 a. M. At the Catholic Church because they were hungry and they needed food. This was in queens but this was happening all over the city. People are running out of money, Small Businesses are reaching the point where theyre not going to be able to open anymo anymore, folks cannot pay their rent, kids are not getting educated, nobody can get screenings, theres not only an economic toll but a toll that is being paid right now by the people on new york and the lockdown in soon, and is going to get significantly worse. Liz the images of families, American Families on food lines with their children, thats what you saw as well, what youre saying about 600 doctors sent letters to the president saying were on our brink of a mass casualty event, theyre talking millions of americans saying basically they will be suffering from alcoholism, homelessness, suicide, stroke, heart attack, we are seeing double digit to the downside drop in Cancer Screening and vaccinations of children. Cancer screenings are down 80 since beginning of the year, that is big, that means people are going undiagnosed with cancer. Absolutely and people will die. In this entire debate about the lockdown has been framed by the left in such a way that if youre not in favor of indefinite lockdown until we have a vaccine or until we have some kind of a cure, if you are not in favor of that, they say youre a murder who wants to kill grandma. There is a human soul on the other side too. We need to stop without silliness, their legitimate interest on both sides in new york city is reaching the point of no return and i dont think her governor knows. Liz why do you say he does not know . Because he does not express it. Governor cuomo refers to this as people having financial stress. Financial stress is wondering if yacht order pizza tonight or if you need to save the money to make your rent. Thats what were talking about were talking about along the lines epic the question. There is no gravity here, i dont understand his attitude whatsoever. Liz j. P. Morgan chase put out a study that shows that cases of infection of covid19 did not go up in states that reopen, we see that in europe that the infections are not going up in areas that reopen in many parts of the world, were seen in about 20 states that they are going down, coronavirus cases are going down, seven states are plateauing in 15 states increasing. What was your reaction to hearing that data . It makes us question all of this and another thing that is very important to new york city that we found out is a cdc which is been telling us for months that this virus can survive on a surface for 8000 years or whatever, apparently that is not true. That was a huge concern about things like elevators and escalators and things like new york had to deal with throughout their lives. Its a fluent situation. The science is changing everyday and thats what makes it even more absurd for the governor and the mayor to say we are going to entirely based Public Policy on the science. We dont know that its accurate yet. At the same time, the final point. New york state has 59 hundreds of deaths and Nursing Homes. Florida for the entire state have 2100 cases. 850 and Nursing Homes. Because florida did not put recovering Covid Patients back into Nursing Homes. Minnesota, eight out of ten fatalities are in Nursing Homes because theyre putting covid19 patients back into Nursing Homes. You talk about arbitrary decisionmaking and policies americans have to deal with, this is the biggest one. Were seeing the same thing happen in new jersey and pennsylvania. Take that on. It was a huge mistake. Listen this is what an unprecedented disaster and it did not help that china and the World Health Organization were lying for months and months, we went have been meant under much better off up you deep into decent information. Governor cuomo had a real hard thing to deal with. He followed this up incredibly badly. He cannot keep that up for me opening the city and giving new yorkers their lives back. And doing it with common sense. Will you come back on the show, we love having you on. Great insight. We really appreciate you coming in. Thinks. Liz next up, to the new sign that cracks are growing in the Mueller Probe, Christopher Wray finally ordering the fbi do an internal investigation into possible misconduct in the botched fbi probe of former National Security advisor to President Trump that being Michael Flynn. It is a messy case in central to the Mueller Probe, we will bring in former congressional investigator sam dewey to break it down next.

Liz and welcome back fbi director Christopher Wray opening an internal fbi investigation into how the fbi botched the Michael Flynn matter. Basically looking for potential fbi misconduct there. This as senator ron johnson republican led by him jordan have been saying for months, where is christopher right in this. Lets welcome back to the show former congressional investigator, sam dewey. Your reaction to the news that Christopher Wray fbi director saying we will look into this . I think it is long overdue. I am surprised it did not happen months ago. The fbi gained its credibility from the fact it is nonpolitical and has a bunch of procedures in place to keep the investigation away from political controversy. We have known for months that a group of individuals who apparently despise the president maliciously manipulated and diverted those procedures and control to attack the president at any cost. Liz heres the other story that is breaking, your reaction to joe biden refusing to say whether he will comply with Senate Subpoenas and republican probes involving bidens son hunter biden with his work in ukraine when joe biden was appointed the Obama Administration in ukraine. He is saying he may not comply, he did not answer whether he will comply, he said is just a diversion. And joe biden had a mistake that he made. Hes saying if you dont vote for me for africanamericans and youre not africanamerican, you are not black. He is making some missteps could ask her saying, what do you think . I really think he is, i cannot for the life of me understand what he said earlier today that was to me insulting and demeaning and is not clear was a halfhearted apology. I think he needs to answer those questions, i wish more people in the press were asking him questions about that. It seems like hes getting a pass and in terms of complying with subpoenas, i would think that he would be complying with all of his legal obligations. That is the position the president took and he was attacked for that for daring to assert his legal rights. And now we have to complete different standards. Liz great to have you on, we are so sorry we ran out of time. We hope you have great weekend. Come back soon. Youtube. Thank you.

To respond for a petition which is an extraordinary measure that we took and is allowed when a judge has acted completely outside of his authority or jurisdiction. In his decision not to grant the motion to dismiss and instead the governments motion to dismiss because of everything that they found the prosecution of general flynn should not happen in the Appeals Court has ordered him to respond within ten days. Liz that was Michael Flynns lawyer Sidney Powell with us of the other night on judge Emmet Sullivan now been ordered by a federal Appeals Court to explain himself in just over a weeks time as to why he is trying to reprosecute the flynn case. By accepting Lieutenant General flynn. Lets welcome back to the show Matthew Whitaker former acting attorney general and author of the book above the law. The inside story of how the Justice Department tried to convert President Trump. Great to have you back on, your take on Sidney Powell . She is absolutely right, there is no discretion judge sullivan has under the federal rules of criminal procedure. He must discuss this case, he is not the prosecutor. Turning to fbi director Christopher Wray opening an internal investigation to a possible fbi misconduct in their probe of the flynn case. What was your reaction when you heard the story, republicans have said for months, where is fbi director Christopher Wray. Is been under a lot of criticism and bill barr is probably putting pressure on him, after the government spiraling in the flynn case that over 100 pages demonstrated misconduct on the part of certain members of the fbi and several on the cover of my book. It is only natural that ray woulChristopher Wray would do ts internal investigation and americans want accountability. Liz lots of irregularity in the flynn case. The fbi offic
