alli: what do you think implications of major cities first wave or second wave on economy going forward? maria: ken. ken: new york gets pass and virus to another state and you see the start. most isolate today travel, entertainment, all the areas and so forth and yet there's still a lot more money being spent by consumers and businesses and technology, they are accidental winners mostly weighted heavily in the s&p 500, apples, amazon and so forth, we are seeing those things but business owners can't get back because of the virus and more money being spent on icloud, ai, and so forth. dagen: john lonski, people putting stimulus on autopilot even considering additional money that people are getting on unemployment benefits that you create triggers where that would end once you reach a certain level on unemployment. what do you make of that? john: well, you want to be very careful with stimulus that you don't go ahead and discourage people from working and i think that's going to be problem and i talked to owners, private businesses, small businesses and they claim they are having difficulty finding workers because workers are getting paid more for not working as opposed to taking a job. it has to be well designed and automatic stabilizers, they've been around for a long time, that's what you're referring to, we might be better off just having a cut in the payroll tax in order to increase the return from working. dagen: ken, i will give you final word. ken: that's an interesting point. at the end of the day is demand that we have to look at. the fact is a lot hotels are opening to 30% capacity, restaurants to 50% capacity with numbers still did not work yet. i give it valiant effort to the companies to try to get out and get going but, again, we need more demand to make it more profitable for these types of companies and industries. dagen: ken, great to see you as always. we are just getting started this morning at 7:00 what traders are looking ahead on opening bell. tom reed and house appropriation's member tim ryan on the potential for more stimulus and in the 8:00 o'clock hour we have labor secretary eugene scalia on thursday's unemployment numbers, employment numbers and the state of the job's market and banks on the monument debate and how america should handle history. you don't want to miss any of those fine people. coming up coronavirus surging, cases spiking across the country as former hot spot new york city enters phase 3 of reopening but no indoor dining. you're watching mornings with maria live on fox business. or what's trending. get real-time insights in your customized view of the market. it's smarter trading technology for smarter trading decisions. fidelity. i know, it sounds like an awkward conversation. but it shouldn't be. life insurance from jenny life is made for all of us who worry about our families. who have kids to protect. and who are on a budget. with jenny life you have one less thing to worry about. because for a dollar a day you can be covered for up to half a million dollars. and getting that policy is easy. plus, there are no exams or home visits. see, peace of mind isn't an awkward conversation. visit jennylife.com to get your life insurance policy today. dagen: coronavirus cases spiking across the united states, the country seeing nearly 150,000 new cases over the holiday weekend. florida hitting a new single-day record on saturday with more than 11,000 cases. joining us now infectious disease expert and john hopkins center for health security senior scholar dr. amesh adalja, always great to see you. what do you make of spikes in certain states and are we seeing the higher death rates like new york specifically? doctor: the spikes are not surprising. you have to remember the virus hasn't disappear and the states are running into some problems but not only are they testing more the percent positivity of tests are rising faster than number of tests meaning the outbreaks are accelerating in the states and the death rates have not gone up it's important to remember that deaths lag, it takes a week or so to see infection causing death so i don't think we will see deaths for some period of time and we have to monitor it, we will hopefully get less deaths because we have gotten better in the hospital for treating patients, managing the complications, managing the ventilator but we are still going to expect to see uptick in death just sheer number of hospitalizations across the states. dagen: in terms of gatherings, partying amid pandemic many are worried about spread of social gatherings where guests are not social distancing are wearing masks. dr. adalja, we are looking at a photo from a beach, but if somebody gets invited to, say, a cookout and you know that there are going to be maybe 30 or 40 people there, is it better to stay at home than risk it and try and wear a mask because you run risk of other people not wearing a mask? doctor: it all depends on risk toll reach. we are still in midst of pandemic and though there may be activities going on you have to realize that the virus is going to be invited as well so you have to think about risk factors for severe disease, what are your risk factors for spreading it and there's going to be some activities where the crowding is going to be so much that many people would just stay home like for god reason because it's going to be hard to avoid coming into contact with the virus. there are other activities where they can be managed safely and it's going to boil down to what your individual risk tolerance is going to be but you have to know when you take activities that there's some risk of the virus and you can try to do the best you can by staying 6 feet away, maybe wearing facial covering, wash your hands a lot but you will not eliminate the risk. we try to reduce the harm that the virus causes but we know people will get infected but we have to try to come up with best practices when people attend them. dagen: let's talk about air borne dangers, more than 200 scientists from 32 countries are writing to the world health organization urging the organization to recognizing the dangers of airisol spray and can be infections even in smaller quantities than previously thought. can you please explain that because when people hear airborne, it's in droplets, there's a distinction between those two things, correct? doctor: right, we have talk about big droplets, for example, influenza and there's airborne transmission where particles stay in air that's what we see with tuberculosis and measles. we have known that there's some percentage that's occurring during normal speech and definitely occurring in hospitals when poem get procedures like intubation but what the question is, what is the driver of spread and we know that people that are in close contact with each other for a prolonged period of time, that's where we are seeing spread. i do think there's a little bit of confusion about how important airborne spread in the community because we are not seeing measles epidemiology but something that we have to change health guidance about, i don't think so. we are all debating it right now and it'll take some time to actually sort it all out but the general public shouldn't change what they are doing, 6 feet apart, face coverings, that should be what limits the spread, not coring about going into a room where somebody can spread. the managers of the store, they don't know what to do, are they going to police everybody that comes in the store? but i left as fast as i could even though i was wearing a mask but that's just one anecdote. i want to bring up quickly covid on college campuses. 121 students at the university of washington have contracted coronavirus despite virtual classes, those living on campus believed to have contracted the virus from close contact with residents on greek row according to university. would it be safe for students to head back for fall classes? what do you make of elementary, middle and high school students getting back particularly college as well? doctor: college will be much more challenging than elementary , middle and high school. when you think of parties, off campus parties, activities, that would be a time where people spread the virus. when it comes to elementary schools, children be in person for class in the fall. i agree with that. children are special case, we are not seeing them drive epidemics and mildly effective but there are some serious cases but keeping children out of school is harming them. make it safer to be able to respect social distancing and protect vulnerable populations like teachers, for example. colleges are going to be difficult but i do think people do have the intention of opening. dagen: dr. adalja, great to see you, thank you very much for the terrific information. we will see you soon. coming up kanye running for president, what does it mean for race of the house straight ahead. you're watching mornings with maria live on fox business dagen: taking twitter by storm, kanye west tweeting over the weekend that he plans to run for presidency for the white house in november. here is what kanye wrote, we must now realize the promise of america by trusting god, unifying our vision and building our future. i'm running for president of the united states, flag of united states, 2020 vision, that was a hashtag, has more than 50 retweets and more than 1 million likes and it's unclear whether he's serious and he missed ballot deadline in several key states and has not registered with federal commission? lee, what do you think of this? lee: he sees an opening where there's not a of popularity in the candidates right now. when you look at joe biden, two-thirds are voting against trump. there's a wide-open field and need for another candidate and kanye is look agent it and thinking it's going to be him. i thought he was a trump supporter. i'm not sure what's going on here. you know what, why not? a lot of attention. dagen: john lonski's what is kanye's economic platform? john: i haven't the slightest idea but i might add what is joe biden's economic platform, what are biden's plans for taxes, he talks about tax hikes and what is that going to involve. if kanye gets in ballot, he's a bigger threat to joe biden than he is to donald trump, so why should trump be very much concerned or worried about kanye's possible candidacy? dagen: lee carter, before we go to break, you talked about the polls but what -- what are you watching that would turn those polls, that would lessen biden leads in swing states, what is one of the critical things? lee: two things that i'm watching, the traits that people are appreciating and what trump ranks high on is courageous and energetic and courageous is important. you want a president that will take a stand. biden does very well in honest and race relations and he also does very well in something that the president did very well last time which is cares about the average americans, cares ant -- about people like me. i think the president needs to earn the trust of middle america and that's something that we have seen recently and i don't think it's out of the realm of possibility because the other thing i'm looking at is when you look at what policies they expect different candidates to do well the economy is still something that president trump wins on. at the end of the day people are -- that's one of the most important things to everybody, all of the other things are nice to have but the at the end of the day we want the economy back and running and people are more concerned about the economy more than ever and that's what i'm holing onto and the other thing i'm looking at at this point in the game hillary clinton was ahead in the poll 13 points. you looked at every other measure it still seemed like hillary clinton was going to win in 2016 and no way or path for the president. we still have a listening way to go. dagen: alli mccarthy your take. alli: we haven't brought kim kardashian. dagen: i will not weigh in. we will let the viewers weigh on that. joe biden speaking to voters over the weekend. what they said that's ahead. you're watching mornings with maria live on fox business. thank you. violation. violation. i see you've met cynthia. at least geico makes bundling our home and car insurance easy. and it does help us save a bunch of money. two inches over regulation. thanks, cynthia. for bundling made easy, go to geico.com theyeach one suffering withds. a story that breaks your heart. thanks, cynthia. like ravette, who needed help, because every step brought her pain. their only hope is a ship unlike any other. mercy ships. the largest floating civilian hospital in the world to bring free surgeries and care to people who have no other hope. only 62 cents a day. $19 a month will help provide urgently needed surgery for the world's forgotten poor. if you have ever wondered "how can i, just one person, make a difference?" this is your answer. so many are still suffering. so don't wait. call the number on your screen call or donate now at mercyships.org and my side super soft?

>> so i think he's done a good job campaign in global pandemic. he's getting his message across pretty well which is one of incollusion. i am pretty sick of divisiveness of president trump's rhetoric and i'm a moderate person and i look at people who are in the middle, looking at, you know, what's happening in this country right now and -- and people want somebody who is a leader who will bring people together and we saw in president trump's speech again him tearing people apart. dagen: i will push back on that, brian, because that was certainly the narrative that came from the many media publications and tammy duckworth to quote charles cook in the national review basically told a lie about president trump's speech. senator duckworth said that he spent all of his time talking about dead traders, that's a flat-out lie writes charles cook, entirely untrue. one doesn't have to like president trump to enjoy that duckworth is lying. one need to read what was said. two references to the civil war in passages praising lincoln and condemning slavery and i can go to wall street journal editorial about how the speech was covered. it was called racial devision, device cultural war miami, dark speech when, in fact, it really came across as speech that virtually any president would give on july the fourth given the backdrop of america. >> it's pretty outrageous how the media covers president trump not just in mount rushmore but everything that he does in the last years now. for tammy duckworth to make those statements, we shouldn't be surprised, they've been lying significant about his actions for the last 7 years, so i'm not surprised. the media has the responsibility that they had forgotten about of covering things in fair and transparent way. this is nothing new. we will work against it and fight against it and the american people need to know that when president trump says that the media, certain aspects of the media are enemy of the people, that's an example of being enemy of the people. they are creating the narrative, to wedge people apart rather than pull people together. that's what the president says when he says certain aspects to have media are enemy of the people. dagen: kirsten, i will raise an issue that lee carter brought up, be very careful about the polls and vice president biden is leading in -- in the national poll and swing state polls, but he needs to figure out a way to hang onto that lead and give the american people, again, more of a reason to trust him on the economy, how does he do that? >> kristen: i want to say in my defense i i did not watch the media coverage of president trump's speech i was speaking for somebody who watched, i was responding to that and not media coverage. and also, so on the polls i couldn't agree more. i worked with mostly with member offense the house and what you do when you get to districts as you learn to not trust national polling all of the time, to really get granular in the data and look at where things are in the state of the race, i think looking into deeper the swing states. i think vice president biden is doing very well right now but you have to be cognizant of what's going on all of the time. the democrats, we were confident going into the election and we were wrong. i think there's increase awareness. i think you to stay local and you to connect to the american people on a gut level which i think he's doing a good job but you certainly not just have to look at every national poll and i can definitely tell you they are not being that high level about it. dagen: he has work to do, bryan, the president to pick up steam in a lot of the states. i will point out and i say this all of the time. if you add wisconsin, pennsylvania and michigan, president trump won those states by a combined less than 78,000 votes. the margin of -- the margin of victory then was narrow and the margin of defeat, what say you? bryan: it's going to be tough campaign. when i joined the campaign hillary clinton had substantial lead. we barely squeaked through. here at the end of the day we will know, it's going to be a blood bath, you will have biden advocating position that is actually slow down the economy by raising taxes by trying to redistribute the wealth, inject social justice into our economy. i think that's going to be the challenge that biden is going to have. at the end of the day we expect a tough battle, we expect, you know, we expected to be the blood bath that it's always given. dagen: bryan, i might choose a different phrase other than blood bath. >> we will have sharp elbows. it's not -- we are not playing hopscotch when we are involved in politics. dagen: you kind of are. you kind of are. it's words. policies have an effect but it's literally debate. before we go, kanye west tweeting saturday, he's running for president, billionaire, entrepreneur elon musk offering his support. kirsten, how -- if there's a third party candidate or a new candidate how would it impact the biden campaign? >> kirsten: kanye has been a supporter of trump. it sounds silly but how does it impact the race? you don't want to give it too much but when you have -- it's a matter of tens of thousands of votes i don't think it will be. i think vice president biden is going to win by much more than that but you never know with some of the candidates and their reach on social media, you have to be cognizant of it. dagen: bryan, where does it say about where both candidates are that kanye would feel the urge or the need to go whamo, i'm getting in about the lack of enthusiasm for either one of the gentlemen. >> celebrities do this all of the time. i just read that paris hilton will run for president. celebrities that's what they do, they don't view them as conversation thread. dagen: paris hilton is trust fund child and kanye west is one of the greatest artists in history. great to see both of you. covid-19 hilting businesses not but equally, one business owner weighs in next on how the pandemic's impact is hurting her bottom line. plus designs go digital, paris not the person, but the city, adapting for fashion week. we take a look, you're watching mornings with maria live on fox business. with fast response and great service and it doesn't stop there we're also here to help look ahead that's why we're helping members catch up by spreading any missed usaa insurance payments over the next twelve months so you can keep more cash in your pockets for when it matters most and that's just one of the many ways we're here to help the military community find out more at usaa.com now every bath fitter bathbath fis installed quickly, safely, and beautifully, with a lifetime warranty. go from old to new. from worn to wow. the beautiful bath you've always wanted, done right, installed by one expert technician, all in one day. we've been creating moments like these for 35 years, and we're here to help you get started. book your free virtual or in-home design consultation today. leading armies to battle?, was that your great-aunt, keeping armies alive?

>> as of right now we are pretty much we are struggling to keeping our doors open and rough time in our company in having to lose about 50% of our business, our massage clients and then, you know, we have to close so suddenly. there was no prewarning, there was no indication that, you know, we were just going to have to completely shut down immediately and then after that it was, you know, in a definite situation and that has caused a lot of uncertainty in my industry as far as bringing my clients back and then now they are back, so now we are back opened but we are having a very hard time even just getting our clients to come back because everyone is still really scared about the virus. you know, not being able to obtain the ppp loans, you know, the assistance that is, you know, made to help small business, small entrepreneurs like myself it's definitely been a rough time. >> so tracee, in terms of the federal assistance, you talk about the paycheck protection program, there were also the economic injury disaster loan program, you haven't gotten any money at this point from any of those programs? >> no ma'am, not at all. i've actually been denied. it was quoted that i did not take an economic injury which is very interesting being that i am -- i literally had to open an online business to bring an income. without that business, i would not be able to pay my bills or, you know, just have my livelihood. dagen: tell me that again, tracee, why -- i'm sorry i miss what had you said, why did they deny that, the loan? >> yeah, they stated that i did not receive economic injury. i got an e-mail back after waiting. i applied in march right around within the first week of, you know, applied at the loan here, applied here, so many grants, i applied several time for ppp loan and received a letter finally that i did not receive an economic injury, so therefore they were denying my loan. dagen: i can -- i will make some calls on this, tracee, but i can tell you that if you try to go maybe go to a different and reapply because the paycheck protection program is meant to help you compensate your employees and keep them on -- on the payroll during the shutdown and also the money is there to help with large percentage of it of things like utilities and if message business wasn't open your message business wasn't open or if you're only doing 50% of the business that you were doing before, that's just a fact. i can encourage you to go to a different bank i hope that helps and please come back and let us know how things are going, but take care of yourself and be well. >> i sure will. thank you so much. dagen: tracee gray, you're watching mornings with maria live on fox business. stay with us. dagen: morning buzz, first up the general lee confederate flag and all would stay in display in illinois. the dukes of hazard may have been good-old boys never meaning harm but the design has been causing controversy, john lonski thoughts on this?

>> dudash. dagen: thank you. let's get going. warren buffet major energy deal, a deal worth $10 billion to buy dominion assets, after they announced they're cancelling the atlantic coast pipeline project with duke energy as the $8 billion project has faced regulatory scrutiny. larry to you first. go. >> dagen, this weekend's big buffet buy is classic buffet. it's value in the value sector which has underperformed the market. it's big, $10 billion of a deal where he needs to put the cash to work. it's about competitive advantage. it's a sector he knows a lot about, a deal that's not available to the average day trader at home who is looking for opportunity. i contrast that with the market as a whole. this has been the opposite of a buffet market. this has been a market led by growth, led by the airlines that he sold, not the banks that he held. so i think this is an opportunity here for investors to broaden out the rally, find other opportunities. dagen, value investing is as american on independence day as apple pie and cookouts. it's nice to see it coming back, nice to see buffet sticking to his discipline as the market climbs the wall of worry and money gets put to work here. dagen: steve, do you agree with larry? >> i don't on this one. i think duke needed to get out of this deal. they couldn't get this thing done in the last 14 years, and that environment. in the current environment they had major head winds. for them to walk away from the pipeline now makes a lot of sense. quit wasting money on it. it's a nice consistent of serve testify play, a company like duke, if you want something stable with a little dividend and want to get away from some of the riskier things like airlines and go way up and way down on a month to month basis. it makes sense. buffet, lets be honest, he's sitting on 160 billion. he hasn't done anything. he probably missed opportunities in the last few months. for him to step in now makes sense. i'm sure he's been getting some blowback from his investors over the last few months. dagen: even if someone doesn't have buffet-like cash, what do you say about, say, a duke energy? >> this is classic buffet. we wouldn't use the word big. he's got over 140 billion available. so i would not call this a big deal for him. energy right now is depressed. so in general, this is a sector that for a long-term investor, this is when you acquire it. dagen: stay on that. u.s. economic outlook amid covid-19, goldman sachs downgrading the growth outlook for 2020 due to the recent surge in coronavirus cases across the country. the investment bank's chief economist expecting growth contraction, 4.6%. changed from contraction of 4.2%. dom, what do you say to this? >> well, look, our worst fear was that the covid would not go completely away and that might come in the fall, this has been worse, it's never gone away at all. we have very large states, texas, florida, that have been hit hard and they've gone backward in terms of closing their economic systems, restaurants, hotels and such. so, yeah, it's not surprising that the overall economic outlook is going to be a little bit more depressed. i'm still in a positive year-end towards december. dagen: the market already knows this, right? >> that's right. look, investors have become very cautious. optimism through the american association of individual investor survey has plummeted recently. most wall street strategists didn't see the pandemic. they didn't have it on their screen. why would i listen to their advice now? they missed the one big mac crow theme that -- big macro theme. i think individual investors have did competitive advantage, not to read wall street research. it hasn't been that helpful. dagen: steve, your comment on that before we move on? >> i think we're going to get past this virus. we have to invest. if we know we're going to get through this. science will get us through this. we will pull together. therefore, now buying into this economy, buying into the market belief is the right move. it might not happen next month. it might not happen for six months. there's no doubt we will get on the other side of this. when we talk to our clients, our investors, you have to invest with that belief. yes, now is a good time. there is a huge pull or rise going across the country on this. but it's not going to shut down the economy. the government has flooded the markets with money right now. you have to ride that wave. they put the floor on there for you. they've taken that huge downside away. take advantage of it. it won't happen again. dagen: you have to explain this. healthcare stocks slumped, the s&p 500 healthcare sector finished june as the second worst performer of the index's 11 groups. the group down two and-a-half percent compared to the overall index's one and-a-half percent gain. larry, why aren't these healthcare stocks performing, given we're in the middle of a pandemic. go. >> sure. it really is a great point. it baffles a lot of investors. you would think this area would benefit. elective surgeries way down, that's where hospitals make their money. that's the profit center. more importantly, this is not a cyclical area. it doesn't benefit from the reopening, doesn't benefit from the recovery. it's a slow, steady and stable area where margins have been really compressed. there's better opportunities he'll where. -- elsewhere and better valuations outside of healthcare. dagen: healthcare, yeah or nay. >> larry is 100% correct. they make money on election tipe surgeries. people weren't going into the hospital because they were scared and they were told not to come. that will pick up but not overnights. it's a slow-moving beast. it's hard to jump in on that and try to think you're going to catch a quick pop on it. it's not the reality of how that industry works. so though it will pick up, it's not going to be a fast-moving at this point. dagen: final word. i have two words, political risk. >> great deal of it. a great deal of it, dagen. obviously the polls show biden ahead right now. you've got to take these with a grain of salt. we learned that lesson the hard way during the clinton last election. having said that, i think the polls are way off in terms of how the disparity between trump and biden, i think it's a lot closer, i think there's a lot of people out there that are not inclined to yet admit they're trump supporters because of the political environment. it will be close. it is a tough call. dagen: do you like healthcare? >> i like healthcare. you buy things when they're out of favor. all the rational was exactly right. a year from now, all that elective surgery, all that stuff that made hospitals profitable will be back and you buy it when no one else wants it. we actually added this last quarter to our of healthcare position. dagen: thank you so much. gentlemen, we'll see you soon. coming up this morning, house ways and means committee member deer tom reed along with tim ryan on the potential for more stimulus. in 8:00 hour we have labor secretary gene scalia on thursday's employment numbers. indiana congressman jim banks on the monument debate and how america should handle its history. cultural debate hitting the sports world, the washington redskins and cleveland indians dealing with possible name changes. what people think, next. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. ♪ (vo) touch and go. handwriting recognition and the audi a4. now every bath fitter bathbath fis installed quickly, safely, and beautifully, with a lifetime warranty. go from old to new. from worn to wow. the beautiful bath you've always wanted, done right, installed by one expert technician, all in one day. we've been creating moments like these for 35 years, and we're here to help you get started. book your free virtual or in-home design consultation today. dagen: the redskins reconsider, three minority owners of the team are looking to sell their stakes in the nfl team. dan snyder, the majority owner, said last week he's reviewing the name after pressure from fed ex and nike. lee, what do you make of this? to be clear, i am a life long redskins fan but i said years ago on the air, on the record saying that they should have started talking about this eons ago to get rid of the name. the reason the fans hate dan snyder is because he's been an awful owner. their record is abysmal. he's a terrible owner. it's about time the redskins started talking about this. lee: i think it's about time the redskins started talking about this too. i think it's been -- they've taken the heat on this for a long time and they stuck to their guns on it and i don't think it was the right decision. i think now is the time to change the name. i think probably you a good time -- probably a good time to rebrand themselves. i think they need to have a new image so-to-speak. they haven't had the best record in recent years. i think this would give them a much needed boost. i think the time is right. and i think they can't avoid it any longer. dagen: it happened across the ncaa, stanford changed the mascot name in the '70s i think. and syracuse did the same. the florida state seminoles, they worked with the local native american tribe to make sure that the tribe was okay with them retaining the kind of seminoles to represent them. but lee, really quickly of before we move on, do you have a name for the redskins? what would you -- have you researched that at all? lee: i haven't researched it at all. i've seen they have good ones out there. i'm not sure which one i would pick. because the question is, do they get something that's really close that has a different meaning or do they go with something different entirely. i think it's a really important question. i think people will want it to stay close. i think they're going to want to keep it with the same kind of a feel but it's -- i haven't come up with a name. dagen: okay. i know it's washington but nothing to do with politics. nothing. [ laughter ] dagen: please, no. it's not just the washington redskins. the cleveland indians are also considering a name change as well after the team completely removed the-it was of tension i've -- offensive to many character, mascot, chief wahoo last year. john lonski, what do you make of the changes? john: well, i think they're overdue. much overdue. washington redskins, you know, i'm a new york giants fan and i think it's an old baseball team from washington that lost all the time. why not call them the washington senators, bring that name back. that would really frighten washington redskins fans. dagen: i'm saying don't call them senators, don't call them the washington congressmen. can you think of anything more loathesome. what's the final word. lee: you mentioned in the '70s some universities started making changes. this has been a slow drip of sort of sensitivity to marketing and branding. there's been an inflection point. i think there's no longer a tolerance either by employees of companies, attendees of universities or the general public for offending a few to make many happy and i applaud all efforts that are being taken to have sensitivity. dagen: and here's my final word. washington redskins change the name, start winning consistently. maybe they're connected. [ laughter ] dagen: and maybe get rid of the owner, dan snyder too. coming up, jeffrey epstein's confidant charged, when ghislaine maxwell could be back in new york in front of a judge, next. and airbnb making changes, the company cracking down on potential house parties ahead. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on of fox business. stock slices. for as little as $5, now anyone can own companies in the s&p 500, even if their shares cost more. at $5 a slice, you could own ten companies for $50 instead of paying thousands. all commission free online. schwab stock slices: an easy way to start investing or to give the gift of stock ownership. schwab. own your tomorrow. schwab. yeah. this moving thing never gets any easier. well, xfinity makes moving super easy. i can transfer my internet and tv service in about a minute. wow, that is easy. almost as easy as having those guys help you move. we are those guys. that's you?

do prosecutors need to offer her a deal at this point? >> well, good morning, dagen. you know, people often don't offer a deal until they're about to be arrested or they have been arrested. she may somehow in her mind have thought she could have lived forever in new hampshire and nobody would catch her. turns out the fbi had been watching her for months and was waiting for the right time. prosecutors are always interested in a deal. a trial of this nature would be traumatic for the victims and expensive for the government. and they may very well have arrested her with the hopes that she will help them. i mean, one of their targets is eighth in line to the throne of great britain, one of the government's targets and he of course refuses to speak to the fbi, as is his right under british and under american law. and there's very little the american government can do to force him to testify unless they have some more evidence against him. the rampant speculation over the weekend is that she is the living em bodyment of jeffrey epstein's black book because she was with him for so long and knows everybody with whom he was involved, not only for sexual liaisons, many of which would have been profoundly illegal, but also for intelligence liaisons. it is well-known that epstein had ties to the israeli musad and did some work for them. there are a lot of people who are probably ill at ease this morning wondering on whom she is going to spill the beans. if she doesn't spill any beans and if she's convicted she will spend effectively the rest of her life in a federal prison. dagen: when jeffrey epstein was arrested and thrown in jail before he committed suicide, was it just last year that that happened, judge? i think it was just a year ago. >> yes. dagen: why wouldn't she -- >> it seems longer but, yes, it was just last year. he was arrested in new jersey, brought to the metropolitan correctional center, federal holding facility in lower manhattan and and that's where e died. dagen: why wouldn't she have stepped up at that point if she really wanted to do the right thing? something to save herself but to stand up for these victims. i have listened -- i have read everything that julie brown has ever written. she deserves the credit for bringing this case back to life and ultimately making sure that the victims have a voice and let's call them survivors, not victims, and also that epstein was ultimately brought up on charges and arrested by the feds here in new york. so why was ghislaine -- ghislaine maxwell, given everyone she knows, did she think she was going to get away with this? >> she obviously doesn't think the way you do. your praise for the miami herald reporter is well documented and well justified and that reporter really is the reason that we know so much about this, and many of these victims will get some justice. it's hard to imagine that ms. maxwell will have the slightest sympathy for these victims when if the government's allegations are true and the evidence is pretty substantial, she facilitated their victimhood. this is a very bizarre, bizarre relationship that she had with jeffrey epstein, that she would be in the business of procuring underage girls for epstein and for others and in the business of god knows whatever else. but she obviously doesn't think like dagen mcdowell, obviously has no by a pity or sympathy foe people that she victimized. she was concerned i would imagine at the time of epstein's arrest only for her own freedom which is now in grave jeopardy. dagen: and these survivors will finally get to face their abuser, alleged abuser, up close and in person. judge andrew napolitano, thank you so much. take care. good to see you. >> you're welcome. dagen: coming up, future stimulus, mother money could be headed to -- more money could be headed to your bank account. that's next. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. from fidelity. now you can trade stocks and etfs for any amount you choose instead of buying by the share. all with no commissions. stocks by the slice from fidelity. get your slice today. and my side super soft?

>> well, i hope so. i think there's some accommodations we could make for people who are having opportunities going back to work. i think we coffing out a way to deal -- we could figure out a way to deal with that. the reality is, a lot of people are struggling, not paying their full rent, not paying their mortgage. this could be a cascading effect not just for them personally, but for the economy. you stop paying your credit card bills, stop paying your mortgage, you stop paying these things, you ruin your credit. it may take some families decades to climb out of it. a small investment upfront to protect them from that through the end of of the year i think would be the responsible thing to do. dagen: congressman reed, do you agree with that? because we talked about this, that there are many americans, by some estimates half the people on unemployment are collecting more because of the $600 extra per week than they actually would earn on the job and we heard over and over again from employers they're having trouble hiring people back, getting people back to work because of the extra money. is there anyone in the republican party who would support extending this $600? >> you know, i don't see a straight extension of the 600 for the reason you just articulated, dagen. this is a financial incentive not to return to work but to stay on unemployment. and so what we want to do is reward work. we want to encourage work. i think you need enhanced unemployment benefits compromise that recognizes the difficult times we're in but in practice make sure that people are rewarded, not encouraged financially to stay in an unemployment position. dagen: congressma congressmany on that, what does the compromise look like and then i'll get congressman ryan to say if he likes it or not. >> i'm a believer of up to $600 but no more than x percent of the wages you had going into unemployment so you couldn't make more money on unemployment than you did when you were working. the bureaucracy has not had the capability or the competency to have software programs implemented in order to manage that. because of the bureaucracy problem, we should say it's okay to have this problem go unfixed? that is a real problem i'm hearing that needs to be taken care of. dagen: and congressman ryan, part of that bureaucracy is that unemployment benefits are delivered at the state level and so it wouldn't be -- when you have federal oversight of unemployment programs, that becomes exceedingly complicated and i know people who have just started getting their unemployment checks. even though they applied for unemployment literally months ago. >> yeah, no doubt about it. i mean, this is a structural problem that is very relevant in many, many states. i think it's the sign of the times of the rhetoric for the last 20 or 30 years about how bad government is and we defund it, we've not updated, reinvented government. i hope this is an opportunity for us, guys like tom and me to come together and say how do we make this government function, how do we make it work, how do we make it efficient, what's america 2-poin 2 -- 2.0 governmk like. at the end of the day it's the people who are suffering. i have no problems sitting down and figuring out how we could work something out when it comes to the $600. my personal opinion, congressman rokana and i have a bill for $2,000 a month payments to everybody in the country until we get out of this mess. i think that the talks of the stock market and this and that are really under-appreciating the level of anxiety and struggle that most americans are under right now. and that's a reality on the ground and many, many congressional districts, people are hurting and they need help and they need the federal government to step up. i hope we don't cut them loose and say hey, you're on your own in august and september because those families are going to spend a decade or more trying to claw out of the financial troubles that we're going to have helped put them in. we have a responsibility to act and act now. dagen: congressman reed, i'll give you final word on this. i talked about what congressman ryan is saying now for literally months that it was going to be a replay because of the massive amount of federal resieve resere stimulus. so the haves have more and then people on main street across this country are struggling. what say you, final word? >> i agree, that main street has to be the priority going forward and if you -- tim and i have a long history of working together. put us in a room, we fix the problem in a heartbeat. dagen: congressmen, thank you so much. tom reed and tim ryan. when i say vaudeville act, that's a compliment. i love vaudeville. so thank you. take care, gentlemen. the next jobs in america, what the june jobs report says about future employment, plus airbnb making changes, the company cracking down on potential house parties ahead. you're watching "mornings with maria," live on fox business. and quarantine dating, a new app aiming to create deeper relationships. that's ahead. ♪ we can get started. ♪ maria: this week on "mornings with maria," tomorrow, conservatives dropping twitter for rival app parlor, ceo john m atsi. is here. left wing activists continuing the push to defund the police. rudy giuliani on the consequences. thursday, the jobless claims revealed here live as we follow your money. friday, dallas federal reserve president robert kaplan on the stimulus he believes the economy really needs now, that's all right here on "mornings with maria." oh, we love our new home. neighborhood's great. amazing school district. the hoa has been very involved. these shrubs aren't board approved. you need to break down your cardboard. thank you. violation. violation. i see you've met cynthia. at least geico makes bundling our home and car insurance easy. and it does help us save a bunch of money. two inches over regulation. thanks, cynthia. for bundling made easy, go to geico.com dagen: job market staging a strong comeback, a record 4.8 million jobs added in the month of june, 40% of the gains in leisure and hospitality. the numbers not reflecting the surge of coronavirus cases across the country late last month when many restaurants and bars rolled back their reopenings. joining us now, upwork chief economist adam ozimak. how are you and where are the next jobs in america? >> thanks for having me. so i think there's two ways to look at this. one is who is bouncing back fastest from the pandemic crisis. and the other is sort of where are the longer term trends of employment. and for the first i think this is really the opposite of a traditional recession. usually we see manufacturing and construction taking the biggest hits. so-called goods producing industries. while service producing industries are more resilient. that's certainly what we saw in the great recession. but today the opposite is true. service professions have done worse and it's really construction and manufacturing that have bounced back faster. dagen: john lonski, jump in here. many areas, construction was considered an essential form of work even during complete shutdown. john: you know, that's very true. you have to realize that there's now a stronger preference on the part of americans to leave central cities, to leave crowded cities and move out to the suburbs. over the near term. that should give home building a major boost. we're seeing signs of that already. again, as we look forward, we now realize how important the ability to work remotely is and so i would think there's going to be a lot of job opportunities in areas that enhance our ability to work outside of an office. dagen: speaking of that, adam, how many of the jobs will remain remote? >> so i think we're going to continue to see growth there. before the pandemic hit we were seeing growth basically every year over the last 20 years in the share of the workforce that was remote. and obviously since the pandemic the number has skyrocketed, almost half of workers are working remote. i don't think this is a one-time bump either. i think we're going to see consistently higher remote employment. we actually did a survey of hiring managers at upwork and what we found was that more than half found that remote work was working better than they expected. and really less than one in 10 thought i was working less well than they expected. they're seeing higher productivity, obviously benefits to employees and they doubled their expected plans for remote work hiring over the next five years. so i really think this is going to be continued strong growth there, not just kind of a one-time thing. dagen: allie? allie: you know, i have name nr of clients who are ceos -- [dog barking] dagen: you never have to apoll of guys for dogs, -- apologize for dog, continue. allie: i have a number before f clients who said they will definitely have more remote workers than they have in the past but they're getting a lot of feedback especially from younger employees that in terms of moving forward, in terms of getting feedback, in terms of rising through the ranks, in terms of getting the culture, they're really concerned about how to manage that. how did you see that reflected in your survey or the conversations you've been having? >> so i think that remote work is not going to work for everyone in every situation. but i think that a lot of companies and a lot of occupations it will work. and it's just really a matter of learning how to work this way. so a lot of companies have sort of been thrown into this overnight and they're still learning how to work with their employees, how promotions, management works. so i really think there's going to be a big learning experience for companies here. the important thing is that even with these short-term challenges, the struggles to figure out how this works, it's still really, really great reception from employers and workers so i think that overall while you will have complaints here and there, those are pretty minor compared to the benefits. dagen: allie, i greatly appreciate for the real world live demonstration of the trickiness of working from home.

>> well, the jobs report friday, dagen, was just such extraordinarily good news. as you're indicating, i think will be part of the discussion about what we should do in any legislation at the end of july. we have now added 7.5 million jobs over the months of may and june, far better than people were projecting in march at the time that cares act was enacted, at the time that $600 a week unemployment benefit was put in place. so unemployment dropping to just about 11%, you know, i was on with maria not too long ago. she was asking whether we can get to 1 o 10% unemployment by e end of the year and here we are at 11% for june. so things are trending so much better than people had been predicting and i think that's going to influence the debate now about further stimulus. dagen: will that reverse, though, even in a small way, given the fact that the jobs -- the unemployment and employment report, those surveys are taken in the middle of the month and now you have some problems in states with cases spiking, the reopenings pulled back somewhat. here in new york city, for example, the nail salons will be able to reopen today but indoor dining is still off limits. so are you concerned about these numbers even a little bit heading in the other direction, heading in the wrong direction? >> well, obviously we're watching the increase in cases and that's something that we need to be attentive to and careful about and that's why we're reminding people that the virus is still there, social distancing remains important, masks in many circumstances are needed. and we need to get those numbers back down and we do see some locals and states pausing. on the other hand, i look at healthcare, for example. we lost about more than 1.5 million jobs in healthcare. we put a lot back now. i think we put about 360,000 healthcare jobs back in june. but we still have 900,000 people, fewer people involved in that sector than we did in february when we can put those people back in the next couple months i think, local government numbers are down there too. we can put people back there. so i think there's a lot of room to put people back to work even as we do pause certain types of reopen offings like restaurants. i think most workplaces are safe. we know the steps to take. and i am seeing them taken in workplaces across the country di.dagen: are they? i was in a well-known grocery store chain over the weekend in a rural part of the country, not in one of the hot spots, but i went in -- there's a sign on the door that say says everybody has to wear a mask. at least more than half the people that were shopping, were not only not wearing masks, but they were talking on phones. to what extent is it the burden of the business owner to enforce the recommendations? i know they're not laws but certainly they're recommendations. all the employees were wearing masks but the customers weren't. >> well, the employers that i speak to and workplaces i visit, i've never seen u.s. business as focused on health and safety as they are right now for obvious reasons and we at the labor department have put out a great deal of guidance with the cdc and osha on steps to keep workplaces safe. there are of course going to be some businesses that don't take the steps they need when we get those complaints, we are looking into them. and i think if you've got locales where people are getting too casual about masks, it makes sense for local officials to take a look at what's going on, particularly if there is community spread. but the rise in cases we're seeing in some of the states you mentioned, dagen, i think it's a message to the rest of the country. we do have to be careful. we do have to be disciplined. we can reopen safely. but it does get harder if people just throw all caution to the wind. we can't do that. dagen: gene, mr. sec, talk about the -- mr. secretary, talk about the stimulus, though of. in terms of what the administration would support, is extending that $600 per week in extra unemployment, that i is tf the table? >> the $600 a week, dagen, which was part of the cares act, was a really important thing to do as we closed the economy. we were looking at a circumstance where as an often necessary public health measure the government was basically saying you can't work. and so in that really unusual circumstance, it was a good thing to have a very substantial benefit. but now we're reopening and as you know, the congressional budget office has said that i think four out of five people currently on unemployment would get more from unemployment if we continue that $600 benefit going into the rest of the year. and so i do not think that that kind of a benefit makes sense. when in the great recession, eight, 10 years ago, the added unemployment amount was $25 a week compared to 600. in most states you can make between 50 and $55,000 a year annualized with this $600 a week benefit and some states it's about 65,000 annualized on unemployment. i think that's not going to work well over a long term. dagen: i want to talk about a potential monument to your father. but before we move on, is it possible or rather is it nearly impossible for the state unemployment offices to get more granular on how much people get in unemployment benefits, say to adjust it per individual, say if you make this much, then your unemployment benefits can't exceed what you earn in your regular job? we were talking about this earlier with congressman reed and ryan. is that something that's impossible for the state employment offices to do? >> we continue to look at that question, dagen. the states do take account of prior income to some extent in setting the state unemployment amount. remember, when we talk about the fact that the $600 benefit is expiring, there is of course the state payment that continues after that. so we are looking at their ability to adjust it. but you're right, there are some limitations to those state computers which is part of the reason we've seen delays we've seen too. dagen: president trump announced this weekend an executive order to establish a national garden with monuments of prominent figures in american history including your father, the late supreme court justice antonin scalia. what would the inclusion mean to you and the whole family. >> it's very touching, a great honor. it did come as a surprise when we heard the president had that in mind. i think that it's so important that we do admire the great americans who founded this country. i was watching the hamilton broadway production with my little girls over the weekend, so many extraordinary people founded this country. that production shows you that. we need to honor those great americans. i'm incredibly touched that the president would include my father in a list like that. dagen: people can go read your father's decisions because they're beautifully written and insightful. that's one of my personal favorite past times. mr. secretary, great to see you. secretary gene scalia. take care. this fox business alert, the uber postmates deal, official. youtube postmates will continueo operate as a stand alone app. the deal expected to close in the first quarter of next year. uber shares sharply higher on the news. take a look, uber shares up 8 and-a-half percent premarket. we'll be right back. [indistinct radio chatter] (vo) audi e-tron. the next frontier of electric. dagen: jobs stopped, dominion energy canceling its atlantic coast pipeline with duke energy, the $8 billion project faced regulatory scrutiny and lawsuits. warren buffet making a major move, berkshire hathaway closing a deal to buy the transmission and storage assets. joining me now, former shell oil president, john hofmister. the cancellation of this pipeline, what does that mean for the delivery of fuel? >> what it means is that the consumers or the people of north carolina, virginia, west virginia, the people lose because this was going to be a new line of natural gas, displacing coal-fired power plants in that region, and so the environment loses and businesses will lose because everybody's going to pay more for energy as a consequence of not providing infrastructure for the future. i really commend dominion and duke for sticking it out long enough to get the supreme court decision that enabled that line to cross the appalachian trail. if you can imagine the ridiculousness of such a lawsuit preventing a pipeline worth $8 billion from being built over crossing a trail. but the losers will be the people, the businesses and the environment because we won't use clean, natural gas to make power. dagen: they made the decision despite a favorable ruling recently, just last month, from the supreme court. >> yeah, because the threats of additional lawsuits and the fact that this had been going on for year after year after year, they as two companies got tired of it. and they just said to heck with it. i think the pipeline will eventually be built but it will be built by someone else. perhaps a third party, like an enterprise or some other logistics type company might build that pipeline in the future. but the court decision is there which was a good decision for the nation. look, we've got to have infrastructure. this notion that we cannot build anything anytime, anywhere, because somebody's nose is out of joint is just absurd. we're the only country in the world that blocks infrastructure the way we block infrastructure and we're just pushing poverty on the nation because we don't have the infrastructure. it's mindless. dagen: let's move on to energy. let's take a look at the price of crude oil. global oil demand expected to return to prepandemic levels by 2022 according to goldman sachs. analysts credit more people commuting, a shift to private transportation and higher infrastructure spending. do you buy this? because again, if you have so many people who continue to work from home, i drove over the weekend, over the holiday weekend. it was extremely busy but not as busy as it normally would have been over a july 4th holiday. >> i think it's going to take the end of the pandemic to really bring the oil demand back to what it was. i do think it will come back. because people still enjoy the lifestyle that they have lived for their entire life thus far. so i think we'll see the demand come back up. whether it's 2022, 2023, hard to say. depends on global growth, what happens around the world. but i do think the airlines will be back. you're right about more commuters because people will avoid public transit. this is not a good time for public transit. you know what's a big consumer of oil, dagen, is the petrochemical business and the demand for petrochemicals shows no signs of shrinking. the more we invent uses for petrochemicals, the more oil they need in order to supply the demand. and so the traffic, the cars are really only 20% of the oil we consume. the other 80% is airlines and petrochemicals and marine and agriculture and other sectors. so we still eat so we're still going to use a lot of energy to make the food that we eat. dagen: great to see you, john. great insight as always. u.s. energy secretary dan briatt will be a guest on "varney and co." with more on the cancellation of the atlantic pipeline. coming up, kanye, president?

>> well, i hope so. my legislation mirrors what the president is trying to do also in making a federal crime to tear down our nation's statues especially those in washington, d.c., those of our founding fathers, those who signed the declaration of independence. america has had enough of this. it's getting to a point where it doesn't make sense. we're tearing down statues of frederick douglas and abraham lincoln, two of our heroes who are not in the least bit controversial, among many others. america is waking up to it. they see which leaders are trying to do something about it. they recognize that there's not a single democrat in congress who has spoken out against the mobs tearing down these statues. they want their leaders to do something about it. that's why introduced my bill to make it a federal crime. dagen: of course, it isn't just about confederate monuments, it's about tearing down a statue honoring frederick douglas which just speaks to what people have been saying all along, these vandals and these criminals don't know u.s. history. and they're just -- they're angry mobs that will just destroy anything. lee.>> they either don't know -- lee: there's a lot of confusion about what is going on and what the american people are really struggling with right now. so republicans are all being labeled in one way as racist, supporting this. when they're trying to stand up to things people are saying they're insensitive. it's one of the things you're either with us or against us. it's really, really difficult to get to the bottom of all of this and neither party is really helping the other come together. what i think is interesting is joe biden, the candidate people are saying is going to be the one who is able to unify us. how do you respond to that? >?dagen: congressman? >> either these angry mobs tearing down statues don't know american history or they want to erase it all together. the fact that you have one party, you have a president who is speaking out against it in his speech, both at mount rushmore and the speech on the 4th of july, he's speaking out against it. you have another party led at the moment by joe biden who on the 4th of july wouldn't even say he loved america or show pride in america or history in his speech. the american people see the difference. it's very clear to them. they see the one party is trying to do something about it and one party is not. dagen: that was one thing in the editorial, in the wall street journal, that highlighted how the president's speech was characterized by media outlets including the new york times, the los angeles times, the associated press and washington post, that president trump is stoking a culture war at the mount rushmore speech, divisive culture war message, racial division, dark speech ahead of independence day, warning of left wing cultural revolution. in fact, contrary to media reporting, thewall op ed writes the america mr. trump describes is one of genuine racial equality and diversity and frederick douglas and martin luther king, junior believed that to be true and mr. trump cited them both, that these i'm mortal words set in motion the unstoppable march of freedom that all men are created equal. >> it was a great speech. and he spoke about our heroes. he spoke about racial equality, about what we aim for in america. he said our best days lie ahead. i don't know how anybody could listen to that speech and not feel good about america or america's story and president trump delivered it very well. dagen: i want to move on to china and the president's agenda there, two aircraft carriers, uss ronald reagan and nimitz launching jets and planes in the south china sea over the weekend the simulate sustained attacks, one of the largest military drills in recent years as china held drills near the island. what do you make of the drills. >> there's nothing that shows american strength and power better than the united states navy. impartial to that because as a navy officer myself, but the reagan and nimitz in the south china sea, we've only had two aircraft carriers in the south china sea twice since 2001. that tells you what we're up against in the region. while china tries to prevent freedom of the seas and the skies in the south china sea for everyone else, america is there to protect it. that's the difference between america's interest and china's interest. they try block it, we're there to protect freedom for all of our allies and countries abroad and that's why i'm very proud of the united states navy for what they're doing at the moment in the south china sea. dagen: congressman, thank you so much for being here. it was great to see you as always, congressman, jim banks. take care. president trump just tweeting about the markets. if you want your 401-ks and stocks which are getting close to an all time high, nasdaq is already there, to disintegrate and disappear, vote for the radical left do nothing democrats and corrupt joe biden, massive tax hikes, they will make you very poor fast. and he went on to write, china has caused great damage to the united states and the rest of the world. john lonski what do you make of the president's tweet? john: i like what he was saying about taxes. you know, we are at a point in our history where we're having record numbers of people that are retiring and that number is only going to grow. 401-k plans are of the utmost important i think in this presidential election. we have to know what tax increases joe biden has in mind and what that means for the value of these 401-k plans. if it turns out that these tax increases are going to hurt 401-k plans, that is definitely going to damage joe biden's chances for election. dagen: allie? allie: trump has linked his success since the beginning to the performance of the capital markets, the nasdaq is up about 17% year-to-date. if the futures do track what we see today, the total return of the s&p will be about flat for the year. the link between taxes and 401-ks is a little bit tenuous. i would say if he tied himself to the national debt he would have another big point is that two weeks ago we topped 3 trillion. so we have these two issues, neither of which is going away. that we need to be stimulative on one side to recover, we may be down to 11% unemployment but that still means that one out of every six people available to work in this country is not working. but on the other side, the financing of what looks like another fiscal stimulus package, we have put over half of our annual gdp into the market is necessary too and irrespective of who becomes president, this innate tension is going to continue to affect politics and markets well past the election. dagen: lee, does that message about the stock market work with anybody who isn't part of trump's stable base, the president's base? lee: i mean, look, the bottom line is this. the president ranks the highest of all the candidates, of both candidates, sorry, on the economy. and this is a point he keeps driving home over and over again. i think to the extent there are independents and people who are viable, this is an issue that's important to them. i think he's going to keep playing it. when you look at all of the issues on the table, the economy and jobs is where the president shines. dagen: sports team name changes, renewed pressure on the washington redskins after corporate america speaks out with their money. plus, pandemic dating, quarantine changing how we're looking for love. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. dagen: quarantine dating, like so many other things changing during the pandemic, the way we look for love is shifting as well. lauren simonetti has the details. lauren. >> we're probably looking for love now more than ever. but dagen, you're right, the way we're doing so has changed. a lot of people are doing video chat dating. in fact, we asked bumble and they said they saw 69% increase in video calls. the week of may 1st compared to what happened before lockdown, before the pandemic. 44% of their users have been on a video date. we're talking about zoom dates. you get the idea. and then there's smore as in something more. it's the name of a new app and it takes the opposite approach. it won't let you see the profile picture of a potential mate until you've interacted and connected in different ways. the more you interact, dagen, the less blurry that photo becomes. okay, i know you're asking because this is what i said, okay, i've interacted with this person and i see what they look like, what if i don't like it and i think that's the whole point. the founder of smore says you could compel attraction if you've interacted in a meaningful way. not sure if it's true. that's the strategy they're taking. either way, we have seen a spike in people looking for connections at this time. even if it's just loneliness. i read a statistic that showed people who are in relationships but not quarantining with that partner have even signed up for dating apps. it's getting dangerous. other ways that dating has changed is race, religion, ethnicity, they're not always included on profiles now. in fact, is coronavirus included on a dating profile? i can tell you this. okay cupid does include a question about that. they said does the coronavirus affect your dating life? all of this is changing how we go about meeting our special someone, dagen. dagen: great to see you as always. lauren simonetti. >> you too. dagen: coming up, name change couldn't verve sigh, renewed -- controversy, renewed pressure facing the washington redskins, we take a look, next. ♪ businesses are starting to bounce back. but what if you could do better than that?

probably now it will. lee: i think now it will and now it should. i think that the pressure is on and it's the right time to do it. we were talking about this earlier. i think it's a good time for the redskins overall to rebrand any which way. so i think that they absolutely will do it. there's some interesting names out there. i've heard the name red tails which i think is an interesting name, would allow them to keep a lot of what they have already and lean into new story telling i think about equality. so i think it's the right thing di.dagen: john. john: i have the name. the washington generals. then i thought maybe that's a little too littl miltiristic. maybe the problem is going to go on and on. dagen: there were the new jersey generals of the usfl which trump -- didn't trump own that team? john: yes. dagen: that's not happening. allie, real quick. allie: i mean, i think this conversation has made it clear how difficult these choices are because we are sensitized and should be sensitive to so many things but definitely this is the time and i love that nike's putting its money where its mouth is too. dagen: maybe they ought to clean up with their production practices, they should start with that before they preach to the american people. more "mornings with maria" right after this. ♪ ♪ but i set fire to the rain. ♪ watched it burn come on christian, step onto the blue line. good! stay safe, man. this device is giving us an accurate temperature check. you're good to go. have a good day. the safety of amazon community is very important. you're good to go, sir. thank you! if i can take care of everyone who is sick out there, i would do it in a heartbeat. step onto the blue line, sir. i have to take care of my coworkers. that's how i am. this is my passion. have a good day. i have a son who is 10 years old. i say, "you know, mommy loves to help people." and he said, "wow, one day i'm gonna be like you too. i'm gonna be a doctor." he make me cry. have a good day out there, okay?
