new information this afternoon as two candles continue to escalate around the new york governor andrew cuomo. he's seen as the hero of the pandemic. he reportedly had staff who were actively changing numbers on how many new york state nursing home residents were dying. the governor's most senior aide rewrote the report to take it out. it, being the all right 9,000 nursing home residents that were dead. the report was released july 6. 4 days later, cuomo said he was writing a book about his leadership in the darkest days of the virus. we'll dig in to the timing of that as well as the accuser that calling him a textbook harasser and groomer. >> i was terrified. i was shaken. i thought any moment something could happen. >> martha: more on that story to come with leo terrell. we begin with ron kim, assemblyman. he's chair of the state's aging committee and he has been blowing the whistle on this nursing home scandal since day 1. he lost his uncle in one of these facilities. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me back. >> martha: i remember you saying to me when lativia james was digging into the numbers, that there was something wrong there. you shed a tear because you were so relieved. you were yelling from the mountain tops about this story. did you ever think you'll see what you see now, investigations by "the new york times" and finding that his aides were colluding and covering up the numbers? >> well, martha, a few of us knew that was the case. even when the report came out, we were calling it out this is not an accurate report. a self-auditing. it was not an accurate report. yes, i do feel we are finally telling the truth and getting to the truth. i hope that we can continue to investigate. this is completely unacceptable and we need to move forward to stay in the right direction as soon as possible. >> martha: so i know there's a vote under consideration right now to remove the emergency powers regarding covid from the governor's abilities. there's also now the concern that there might be criminal investigations in to this or there could be potential criminal charges. i want to remind everyone, awhile back, we had john daukus, a former doj analyzing this case. here's what he said. >> there's federal criminal offenses for obstruction of justice, for providing false data to the government and for concealing data from the government and conspiring to block a federal investigation. and all of those statutes are things that i presume the u.s. attorney's office and the department of justice are looking into at this point. >> martha: so do you have any indication of where this goes next in terms of potential criminal charges or from the state government perspective, the stripping of those powers? >> yeah, so the governor and the governor's top advisers pushed the state health officials the suppress life and death information about nursing home fatalities. it was a coordinated criminal conspiracy to suppress data. that we the lawmakers desperately needed to legislate and offer better policies and solutions to help save lives. the changes that cuomo's aides made to the report proves that they had the full-accounting of the nursing home deaths, including the covid positive on patients that dieds in hospitals. as early as last summer of 2020. so yes, martha, we need a thorough investigation, we need to pursue charges if this is all true, as if they committed an obstruction of justice and suppression of data that we could have used to save people's lives. >> martha: where is your sense from your perspective, where you sit in this government in the new york government of whether or not he's under real pressure? he said he won't resign over the other issue he's grappling with, the sexual harassment allegations. what is your sense of how strong a position he has right now in government? >> martha, andrew cuomo doesn't have the self-dignity to resign. he must be impeached. the emergency powers that we were voting on today, it's a good step in the right direction. i wish we could have done more. but now we must be bold because it's not about the governor. it's not about anyone else. it's protecting the integrity of our legislative bodies so we can be a co equal government in protecting the people of new york. i believe not just me, more people are calling for his resignation. if he doesn't resign, it will turn into an impeachment process. >> martha: assemblyman kim, thanks very much. we'll speak with you as this develops. good to have you here. >> thank you. >> martha: now to fox news senior meteorologist janice teen. she lost her mother-in-law and father-in-law to covid. last month would have been their 60th wedding anniversary. janice has a new book out called "make your own sunshine" which she's tried to do during covering this story and her own family experience as she continues to cover it. janice, good to have you here. >> thank you, my friend. >> martha: so i want to put this up on the screen. this is from cuomo's spokesperson, calling you out. you were an early whistle-blower on this. she said she's not a credible source on anything, except maybe the everybody with. what would you say that now having come as far as you have and having pushed this story to the point that you have? >> well, i love ron kim, by the way. ron kim has been by my side from the very beginning. it's not about politics. right? i know he's a democratic lawmaker. this has affected his family personally and he's one of the loudest people in the room. i adore him and his family. he's really trying to see this through and maybe try for an impeachment with this governor. to your point, i've been bullied by this governor and his administration from really the beginning. they call this death cult. they told my sister-in-law to get a life. as you said, quoted his top -- i call him spokes troll because he's on twitter all the time. he said i wasn't credible about anything except the weather. i think today spokes volumes. i think the fact that there is a federal investigation, an fbi investigation and hopefully the doj investigation continues into this governor. i think what he's done is criminal. >> martha: janice, thanks very much. good to have you here on "the story." you continue to make your own sunshine. i encourage everybody to take a look at the bright side of your story as well. good to have you here, janice. thank you. >> love you, my friend. thank you. >> martha: you too. so this was then. candidate joe biden on the campaign trail telling migrants that they should come to america. >> we're a nation if you want the flee oppression, you should come. >> martha: how his white house is holding thousands of children in container housing at the border and seeking new places to put the overflow. mark morgan, former acting border chief under president trump joins us next after this. my auntie called me. she said uncle's had a heart attack. i needed him to be here. your heart isn't just yours. protect it with bayer aspirin. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. ♪ usaa ♪ at philadelphia, we know what makes the perfect schmear we're made for. of cream cheese. you need only the freshest milk and cream. that one! and the world's best, and possibly only, schmelier. philadelphia. schmear perfection. three thousand dollars. three thousand dollars!! that's how much veteran homeowners can save every year by using their va benefits to refinance at newday. record low rates are at all time lows. with the va streamline refi there's no appraisal, no income verification, and no money out of pocket. one call can save you $3000 a year. >> martha: big challenges for the white house. an ice official reporting that migrants will head to the border in numbers that we haven't seen in 20 years. the surge now has biden officials eyeing a virginia military base as a temporary influx care facility. >> we don't take our advice or counsel from former president trump on immigration policy, which was not only inhumane but ineffective the last four years. we're going to try our own path forward and treating children with humanity and respect and ensuring they're safe when they cross the borders. >> martha: in moments, mark morgan. but first, kristin fisher who was inside the briefing room today asking some of those questions. hi, kristin. >> hi, martha. given the surge at the border, i asked if there was any discussion about reversing its policy of allowing all accompanied children in to the united states. she said definitively no. so that begs the question, is there a cap? is there a limit to how many unaccompanied minors that the biden administration will allow in? >> so is the plan to take in and safely and humanely find a home for an unlimited number of unaccompanied children? >> this issue requires us taking a step back as human beings and mothers, as which i am one. we want them treated safely, they're not trafficked or sent back on an unsafe journey. >> she didn't really answer the question. the department of homeland security is predicting 117,000 minors will crosby may according to internal documents reviewed by axios. the biden administration is now trying to create more bed space in part by possibly opening up military facilities as you alluded to and look at relieving them more quickly to relatives in the united states. "the new york times" says they're transforming immigration facilities to hubs. there's companies like greyhound bus asking the federal government to do more to make sure that anyone that enters the u.s. on the southern border is getting a covid test. here's texas senator john cornyn. >> they have absolutely no plan. they underestimated this. they had no plan to deal with it. this is in the face of a pandemic. there's no regimen for testing migrants as they're released into the united states. this is a humanitarian crisis and we've seen it before. >> the white house says this is a challenge but not a crisis. to give you an idea how serious they are taking it, martha, there's a team of the president's top advisers either already close to the border or preparing to go to the border sometime soon to get an assessment of what the situation is like on the ground first hand. martha? >> martha: and i would imagine those people are going to try to answer the two absolutely right point-on questions that you asked. are you going to change your gears here and is there a cap, is there a limit. thanks very much, kristin. good to see you today. let's bring in mark morgan, border protection acting commissioner. good to have you with us today. i'd like to start by, you know -- i heard senator cornyn said there was no plan on the biden administration's part. if you go back to the campaign, it appears that there was a plan and it was articulated directly by then candidate biden. let's watch. >> people should have to get in line. but if people are coming because they're seeking asylum, they should make their case. >> these people deserve to be heard. that's who we are. a nation that says if you want to flee and fleeing oppression, you should come. >> martha: you should come said joe biden. you know, you wonder why we're seeing what we're seeing. he said we should see a surge to the border. that's what we're seeing, mark. exactly what he asked for during the campaign. >> martha, that is right. that was their plan. their plan was to remove every policy or authority that had the trump name attached to it, martha, that was effective. they've tone that. the united states is an active participant in encouraing and facilitating the illegal -- this is the part -- illegal entry into the united states. that's what we're talking about, martha. that's what they created besides the hypocrisy is the way they're using them. your correspondent said it right. they're creating reception centers for illegal entry right now along our borders. >> martha: yeah, we're watching as the building of these facilities that happened -- some of these facilities under the trump administration. you heard jen psaki saying we're handling this humanely. i'm a mom. we don't want them to make the dangerous trip back. but what about the dangerous trip on the way? i was just watching casey stegall's report. they talked about the bodies being found. it's a very dangerous journey because of this surge to the border. >> you're absolutely correct. everything coming out of the press secretary's mouth is a spin and a blatant lie. the dangerous part is the journey. right now in the middle of the global pandemic, they're traveling through hotspots in mexico, traveling in groups, which i call active mobile petri dishes. when they get to the border, they're kept in overcrowded unsanitary houses. up to 30% are abused along the journey. once they're smuggled in, they're trafficked. it's incredulous that she's talking about the cruelty after they get here. >> martha: yeah, i'm looking at the t-shirts. biden, please let us in. i'm thinking about the deals that were made with guatemala, honduras. apply for asylum but apply from your home country. let it be processed. i've been there. there were entry points that were built to allow meme to come in and to have and orderly process. that is out the window from what we're seeing right now. mark morgan, thank you. good to see you here today. >> you bet. >> martha: two high school seniors navigating the emotional stress of an entire year out of school, come to "the story" to share their story and their personal struggles next. at novartis, our goal is to help keep cosentyx accessible and affordable. if you're taking cosentyx and your insurance or coverage changes or you need help paying cosentyx connect is here to help. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen or if you've had a vaccine, or plan to. serious allergic reactions may occur. call us or visit us online. we're here for you. >> martha: the "wall street journal" editorial board coming down on vaccines. more states like arizona, connecticut and today west virginia closer to 100% reopen status. the journal says "vaccines were supposed to enable americans to more or less get back to their prepandemic lives." they point out the mental health toll that the lockdowns have brought. here's what we have learned about the impact on teenagers. overdoses, up 119% in this country. anxiety up 94%. depression up 84%. those numbers from april 2020 compared to the year before. according to an organization that analyzes insurance claims. now we have two high school seniors, one from nevada and one from fresno, california. thanks for being here, trey and nicholas. you sent us thoughtful notes beforehand and i thank you for sharing your feeling with us. trey, you said you feel like numb, not having feelings of happiness. can you describe that for me? >> yeah, when it comes to the state of numbness that i was describing, so many of us we didn't feel happy. we didn't get excited for anything because the lives that we've been like in place of. it's been so redundant. so we're so numb and nothing is exciting and happy. >> martha: trey, you say you've developed some study skills that are not what you want them to be. feeling offensive, wanting to sleep longer or procrastinate. >> yeah, school is like doing everything at midnight. everybody is procrastinating. for me as a senior, i'm going to college next year. that is my life for four years. this year i'm supposed to be creating the best habits for myself possible. i've been creating the worst habits for myself possible. i know i'm not the only one either. >> no, i'm sure you're not allow at all. that's the point of this. i appreciate you talking. i want other kids to know they're not alone in the way they're feeling. nicholas, you haven't been school an entire year. home since this time last year. you said your mom has noticed that she thinks that you seem down. tell me about that. >> right. so when i first started coming home and everything was kind of fresh, we were all told hey, you're going to have an extra week off of school. going to move up spring break, going to have a full week off and get back into it, back to normal. everything is going as we planned. but as the dates kept getting pushed back when we would go back and summer came, my mom just started asking me, hey, you seem really down. are you okay? she just was constantly checking in on me. i felt normal. that's when it hit me that my new normal was what used to be when i was sad and when i was really down. that was normal for me now. >> martha: what do you do about that? do your friends have similar feelings? nicholas? >> well, i hang out with a lot of athletes. we've always just used going out and working out, always doing our sports whenever we would feel down, we would use that to push us a little further dooring our workouts, during our practices. but with sports being taken away and now so delayed, it's almost a full year of nothing when we couldn't get out and do what we love to do. >> trey, before we go, you said you just -- you're trying to keep yourself busy, trying to work out alone. you feel like -- this was an interesting phrase. you said you feel like you're rehearsing for something that will never happen. >> yeah. yeah, they just -- they have tape all hope away from us, especially from my county. they said oh, we're going to get to play in august. oh, we're going to get to play in march. they kept taking the hope away. i've been working out this entire year. yeah, like i said earlier, it's like rehearsing for a concert that will never happen. made me feel numb and sad. >> well, i know that you guys will be resilient and you're going to feel better. i try to be optimistic about this crazy year that we've been living through. i look forward to hearing how you're doing three months from now. i hope you come back and feeling better and back at it. thanks for coming in today. we appreciate it. >> definitely. >> thank you. >> martha: you bet. all right. so coming up -- thanks to them. nice young men. a graphic interview that we'll show you where the young woman that said that governor cuomo was lonely and wanted to have sex with her. >> he also explained that he was fine with anyone over 22. >> constitutional attorney leo terrell about where this case is heading next. psoriatic arthritis, made my joints stiff, swollen, painful. tremfya® is approved to help reduce joint symptoms in adults with active psoriatic arthritis. some patients even felt less fatigued. serious allergic reactions may occur. tremfya® may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. tremfya®. emerge tremfyant™. janssen can help you explore cost support options. i want my kids to know... tremfya®. emerge tremfyant™. they come from people who... were brave. and took risks. big risks. bring your family history to life, like never before. get started for free at ancestry.com attention veteran homeowners: record low mortgage rates have dropped even lower. at newday, veterans can shortcut the refinance process and save $250 a month. $3000 dollars a year. with the va streamline refi at newday, there's no appraisal, no income verification, and no out of pocket costs. one call can save you $3000 a year. if you have... ...moderate to severe psoriasis, ... ...little things... ...can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea,... ...nausea or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts... ...or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and... ...headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines, and if you're pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you. >> he lets his temper and his anger rule the office, but he was very sweet to me for a year in the hope that maybe one day when he came on to me, i would think, we were friends or that it was appropriate or okay. >> martha: charlotte bennett in an interview on cbs last night describing governor cuomo. she says she believed that he wanted to sleep with her and that she was quote terrified to be alone in the room with him. she just wanted out of there. the governor denies any inappropriate behavior. one of three accusing the former governor of sexual harassment. let's bring in constitutional and civil rights attorney leo terrell and jessica tarlov. both are fox news contributors. great to have you with us today. leo, as you listen to miss bennett, you think there is a crime here? >> i think from a civil side, she has a classic in my opinion a perfect civil rights case on sexual harassment. let me be very clear. governor cuomo is not an assistant at a restaurant. he governored one of the most powerful states in the country. that woman on that interview was credible. she's already made a statement and the standard is very simple. a reasonable person would be intimidated be i the tremendous amount of influence that governor cuomo has. i'm telling you from a civil standpoint, she has a powerful civil rights lawsuit for sexual harassment. no question about it. >> martha: it's fairly recent and she documented it with texts after the event explaining what he said. so she has some documentation here, which will be helpful to her case no doubt as well. jessica, i'm interested in what you think about the fact that she's being represented by deborah katz. she represented christine blaze ford. she also has a p.r. firm that is putting out statements on her behalf that seems to be the way these things work now. that tells us that there is an effort out there to go after this governor, andrew cuomo. you think politically he survives this? >> well, he has two controversies right now. there's explosive reporting in the nursing home scandal as recently as last night in "the new york times" and the wall street journal. he has that fire going on and the me too fire on the other side of things. highing someone like deborah katz is a message, that they want this big, a big p.r. story and putting as many people in positions of power on the spot to say how they feel about this. >> martha: who is "they" jessica? >> the accuser and deborah katz's firm. they want this public as possible. they have every right to. i agree with leo, sounds like this young woman's story is credible and having listened to governor cuomo's press conference as he got to the crying part of it, sounded like he wasn't denying a lot of the situations that are textbook sexual harassment. he's an incredibly powerful person. you could argue the most powerful state in the country. maybe california ahead of that. would make anyone feel intimidated let alone with that age gap and in terms of her role as well. >> martha: leo, you're shaking your head here. what are you thinking? >> i'm hurt and i'm bothered by jessica gave a nice speech as a press secretary. let's be clear about this. let's forget the politics. this is wrong. this governor did something wrong. the democrats have tape on their mouth. the white house, joe biden, the first day, martha, said i'm going to fire anyone that intimidates or harasses. kamala harris has said nothing about this. she was front and center on kavanaugh. let's forget politics. this is wrong. the white house is wrong for not speaking out. kamala harris is wrong and every woman regardless of party and affiliation this is wrong. let's say it loud and clear, this is wrong, period. >> i'm with you, leo. if these allegations turn out to be true, they're 100% wrong. but there's no tape on the white house and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. they've been always supportive of the investigation into the governor's actions. if we're so into saying things a wrong, you say donald trump -- don't oh me. i appreciate the compliment? >> how did trump get in here? >> because if it's wrong, it's wrong for a man that has over a dozen -- >> how about brett kavanaugh? i'm going to give you this. the democrats are like pariah with burt kavanaugh. so come on, jessica. burt kavanaugh. >> martha: we have to go. leo, thank you. >> that's not true, leo. >> martha: where any of these things are earned can, there's always a -- it gets laid out and everyone in the public forum including us as well makes their sort of judgment about whether or not a person is guilty. we have said many times on this show that everybody deserves due process and he deserves to have his side of the story told as these women deserve to have their side told. we'll see where it goes. there's no doubt there's a ton of heat on the governor right now. thanks, leo. jessica, good to see you. >> thank you. >> martha: thank you. okay. so moments ago, president biden speaking to individuals who the white house says will benefit from the largest bail-out plan in american history. now, at the same time, you have some economists are wondering if this is going to lead to a economic downer, also none as inflation. we debate after this. stick around. el the clarity of non-drowsy claritin. and 24-hour relief from symptoms caused by over 200 indoor and outdoor allergens. try claritin cool mint chewabls for powerful allergy relief plus a cooling sensation. live claritin clear. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ excuse me ma'am, did you know that liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? thank you! hey, hey, no, no, no leap, no leap! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >> martha: moments ago, president biden meeting with people that will benefit from the $1.9 trillion spending plan. states have said they're now fully reopened. blake burman has more. >> good afternoon. republicans here in washington sad today's jobs report proves their point. while some targeted measures are needed going forward, a $1.9 trillion relief plan is not. listen to mitch mcconnell from earlier today. >> our country is set for a roaring recovery. we're set to bounce back from this crisis. that's not because of this bill. it's because of our work last year. >> over here at the white house, they note at this rate, full employment would not be reached for another two years. president biden making the case this afternoon that another $1.9 trillion is needed for health and economic reasons. >> a rescue plan is essential for turning this around, getting kids back to school safely, getting a life line to small business and getting the upper hands on covid-19. >> when you look at the country, the unemployment rate is 6.2%. look at the map here. you can see that that changes region by region. in places that have had fewer reopening restrictions in parts of the south, parts of the midwest, the unemployment rate there is lower than in places like in the northeast and parts out west that have had tighter reopening policies. martha? >> martha: that's an interesting chart. thanks, blake. let's bring in andy puzder, author. charlie kirk is here as well from turner point usa and austan goolsbee, former chief economist for president obama. great to have you here, gentlemen. austan, i want to start with you. you can see the places that are more open have better functioning economies and you think act the fact that president biden we have to pass this $1.9 trillion because that will give us the momentum we need to do the rest of our agenda. so the question is, is this money necessary or is this when necessary for the rest of the biden white house agenda? >> i'm just a policy guy. i don't know about the political momentum. i know there's more than 10 million people that lost their jobs in this crisis that are still out of work. we have not gotten back to the employment levels even close to where we were before the crisis began. >> martha: don't you think if businesses are allowed to reopen that a lot of them can go back to work? >> i think some will be able to go back to work. even with the jobs numbers today, we're going to be years -- it's not two years to full employment. we have more than 10 million people that we have to fill the hole. it could be three, four, five years even at the rate of the job creation that we saw today before we would be back to where we were before we started. we need more money. that's why 70% of the country including a majority of republicans support the bill. >> martha: yeah, we've been through a great depression, the 2008 financial fall. andy puzder, this bill, people have become numb to it. we're talking about $4 trillion that we're talking on here. the question is do we still need it or are we on the way out of this thing and is it good or bad for the economy? >> we clearly don't need it. we're clearly on our way out of this. it has huge risks of inflations. phil graham, a conservative economist agree. you probably should listen. they agree this is going to create so much demand that it's going to overheat the economy and have problems. states like california and new york and illinois, they need to open up. that's what is going to bring the economy back to full speed. as you noted in the states that have opened, i'm in tennessee but take tennessee, florida, texas, mississippi, these states actually have very good unemployment rates. comparable to what they had prerecession. you can't -- the economy can't come back if we don't let it open up. you have to get these governors to let it open up. i'm going -- i'm not a politician either. i can tell you president biden was very open when the pandemic hit that he viewed it as an opportunity to transform america. i don't think they want to let go of this pandemic until they have done everything they can to transform america in the wrong direction unfortunately. >> martha: charlie, we saw a poll today that i thought was very encouraging, gallup poll. 60% of americans perceive that the coronavirus situation in the united states is getting better. i think that is the overall feeling in the country. what should the message be about how to get back open our feet? >> things are getting better because of the state-based system. if it was centralized, it wouldn't be that way. states like florida have shown that you can reopen, have open businesses and manage this virus. this stimulus would be a disaster for our country. we would see some form of inflation. we haven't spent the money from the last stimulus package in december. the best stimulus is reopening the country fully. in this package is a bail-out for some states. subsidizing and incentivizing their broken pension plans and penalizing states like florida and tennessee. not all of this money will spent immediately. some of it won't be spend until 2023. this is the democrats doing what rahm emanuel saying not letting a crisis go to waste. getting the biggest bank during a crisis and getting democratic wish list dones, bailouts, blue state favors. you name it. i think it should be defeated. i don't think it will. >> martha: thanks very much. great to hear from you all. >> thank you, martha. >> martha: who would have thought when meghan and harry walked down the aisle that would come to this. her reported bullying of staffers is now being investigated by buckingham palace. her actions being investigated by the palace. a battle royale is underway with oprah egging on the duchess as she vents her anger at the firm. oh, my. >> i don't know how they could expect that after all of this time we would still be silent if the firm is perpetuating falsehoods about us. i've got some terrific news for veteran homeowners from newday usa. interest rates have dropped to record lows. one call can save you $3,000 a year. newday's va streamline refi lets you refinance without having to verify your income, without getting your home appraised, and without spending one dollar out of pocket to get it done. it is the quickest and easiest refi they've ever offered. hi, i'm debra. i'm from colorado. i've been married to my high school sweetheart for 35 years. i'm a mother of four-- always busy. i was starting to feel a little foggy. just didn't feel like things were as sharp as i knew they once were. i heard about prevagen and then i started taking it about two years now. started noticing things a little sharper, a little clearer. i feel like it's kept me on my game. i'm able to remember things. i'd say give it a try. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. ♪ ♪ we made usaa insurance for veterans like martin. when a hailstorm hit, he needed his insurance to get it done right, right away. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa new projects means new project managers. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a short list of quality candidates from our resume database. claim your seventy five dollar credit, when you post your first job at indeed.com/home. with sofi, i was able to condense all of my loans under one account. i was able to lower my monthly payments and feel like i'm well on my way to becoming debt free. and i have sofi to thank for that. joint pain, swelling, tenderness. my psoriasis. and feel like i'm well on my way to becoming debt free. cosentyx works on all of this. cosentyx can help you look and feel better by treating the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen, or if you've had a vaccine, or plan to. serious allergic reactions may occur. watch me! get real relief with cosentyx. >> martha: wronged royal staffers lining up to speak their minds about the treatment that they got from the duchess of sussex known meghan markle. at least ten of them. the times of london said that she left people shaking in fear and two quit. she called the accusations a calculated smear campaign and it appears the knives are out on both sides. all very good promo for oprah winfrey. her interview airs sunday. here's the duchess talking about the royal family and calling out "the firm" as the family is known from within. >> i don't know how they could expect that after all of this time we would still just be silent if there was an active role that the firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us. >> martha: oh, boy. let's bring in carley shimkus. you know, carley, this is like -- this is -- even oprah looks like really? it was that bad living in the palace? >> this thing gets uglier and i will -- uglier. that clip is the key clip. in it, she essentially accuses the royal family of spreading lies about her. not the media. that comment was directed at the family members themselves. so you fall on one or two sides. either you say thank god this poor girl got out of a toxic situation or she's the toxic one and saying enough with the drama. there's plenty of people that would kill to be in your shoes. regardless of when is right or wrong, prince harry had to choose between his wife and his family. he chose his wife. there's bad blood there that may never heal. >> martha: yeah, she -- she was 36 when they got married. you know, a grown woman. clearly knew what she was getting into and the responsibilities that go with it. it's not about you. it about representing your country and all of that. didn't go down that way with her. piers morgan said we'll see two hours of victim hood here. i would point out the queen didn't have to force this investigation. she could have let this hole thing lie. but they're not. they're investigating the claims against her and him, by the way. >> and i want to point out that this interview is going to be aired as prince phillip is in the hospital recovering from heart surgery. queen elizabeth is a beloved figure around the world. what megan markle is saying is going to rub people the wrong way. they're not taking it lying down. interesting timing regarding the bullying report and when it came out. the fact that buckingham palace said they're launching an h.r. investigation into meghan markle is very telling. i think they want to discredit her a bit before this interview comes down that is a stronger statement than they released regarding the sexual abuse allegations against prince andrew and that comparison has been made. >> martha: i mean, all you hear from meghan and harry is how much they want to stop bullying and bring more kindness to the world. obviously this is not a good look as they head into this interview and no love lost for this couple at home. thanks, carley. you look well in that dress, beautiful. >> thank you. >> martha: that's the "the story" march 5, 2021. we'll see you back here monday. have a great weekend, everybody. glad to see neil cavuto starts right now. >> neil: all right. a lot of drama in washington d.c. as well. the white house and the president is making his pitch to make sure this $1.9 trillion stimulus gets done and in washington where they're going through a vote a rama that would stop because they now have drama rama, whatever you want to say. it's confusing. they're moving quickly. they hope to get this done maybe this weekend. $1.9 trillion in the face of an employment report that shows the in it is rocketing along. so do we need to spend this much? we're going to talk to john thune on
