brian. brian: the president is a little bit depleted hope liberation hicks, kellyanne conway all out. bill stepien out. luna who runs the office operations personal aide he is out. he is married to cassidy dumbold who is assistant to jared kushner. let's see how far this goes. the president of the united states keeping everybody update and on the edge of their seats over the weekend. steve: you just never know. brian: gillian turner at the walter reed medical center with the latest on the president's condition. good morning gillian. >> good morning. the million-dollar question fort president's team at the house is when he is going to be discharged from walter reed hospital and able to return home. last night kellyanne told us gettinkellyanne conway told usg. following guidance of his medical team. they say as of yesterday afternoon, that he is in the middle of what is a fairly testy drug regimen, take a listen. >> we plan to use a five day course of remdesivir in response to transient low oxygen levels we did initiate decks meth only this therapy answered received his first dose of that yesterday and we plan to that i know for the time being. >> the team disclosed details yesterday after admitting to misstating the truth on saturday about the president's condition. yesterday the president himself struck a pretty reflective tone. >> it's been a very interesting journey. i learned a lot about covid. i learned it by really going to school. this is the real school. this isn't the let's read the book school. and i get it. and i understand it. and it's very interesting thing. i'm going to be letting you know about it. >> he continued working, according to the white house yesterday, getting a briefing from his national security adviser. and later on even surprising his supporters who had gathered here outside the hospital with a presidential drive by, a wave, a thumbs up to show his appreciation. did he will instant criticism to exposing himself to secret service agents while still reportedly highly contagious. the white house pushed back on that criticism last night saying appropriate precautions were taken in the execution of this movement to protect the president and all those supporting it. meanwhile, on the campaign trail, the show must go on. the vice president stepping throughout this week, heading back to the campaign trail today. and on the other side joe biden heading to florida. both men have over the weekend tested negative for the coronavirus and their teams say they will continue to push forward as long as they remain negative. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: all right. gillian turner standing, i believe, on wisconsin avenue, just outside of walter reed medical center there in bethesda. so, you know, we weren't planning on seeing the president go out for a little sunday drive. brian: nope. steve: absolutely not. as gillian just mentioned apparently after a lot of pushback, he had been cleared by his medical team to do it. you have got to figure, you know, he is a tireless campaigner, he is sitting in that hospital suite, and is he going stir crazy. came up with this. it is interesting though that when you think about the timing. i read somewhere, apparently the announcement that he was going to go to walter reed was going to come at least in the 4:00 hour on friday. which would suggest that they were going to wait until the stock market closed. interestingly enough, as soon as he popped out for that little drive yesterday, the stock market futures went up 150 points and they are still up. have you got to wonder was it not only to project strength, ainsley, but was it also to send a signal to wall street i'm going to be okay. don't sell off. ainsley: a lot of people were saying they were glad he made an appearance. others said they felt like he was putting secret service at risk. a lot of people wanted to hear and see from him just to give the country that message of it is all going to be okay. people have been praying and worried about him. also this big caravan of cars that came from where you live, brian, out on long island and they're called let me see on my notes the long island loud majority is the name of this group. there are about 100 cars that shut down fifth avenue in front of trump tower and they were all out there in their trucks and motor cycles and blares their horns and waving flags. one girl was interviewed said she didn't vote in the last election. voting for him because he keeps his promises. she said i'm middle class. he has helped my family. my dad is a union worker. and president trump has tripled his 401(k). brian. brian: yup, when he did the drive by he made a video first and said i might do something comprising he did it. he hopped in the car and waved to everybody. here is how the media reacted. not good. >> i do think that's something that we should note here as the president is doing this obviously for a pr and kind of publicity value. >> the president could get the adulation that he so desperately needs. >> this is what happens when you don't like what the people who are speaking for you are saying. >> this is a man who we have seen for years now feeds off the affection of his fans and almost needs that affection. >> this is classic, classic donald trump, isn't it? you know, he does want to be the star of any show. he wants to be at the center of attention. >> he did the drive by. he did get approval from his doctor. he did do it. when you looked at what is happening over the weekend, mark meadows said one thing on friday different from what the doctors were saying, so to speak. he was talking more when he did actually speak off the record he was talking more about the president's condition on friday we didn't know was that serious. we didn't know the blood oxygen was the way it was. we didn't know he needed supplemental oxygen. he said he wasn't having any difficulty breathing. you worry about the conditions of his lungs. experts say we -- we will talk to doctors throughout the show the fact is there might be some -- could be some damage to the lungs. they don't know. the steroids would address that. remdesivir is the other reason why you probably better off stay not guilty hospital because have you got you to do that intravenously five straight days and we are not at five days. dr. nesheiwat weighed in to talk about from the medical perspective why he got cleared. >> of course, that is a concern, the driver being exposed, but we know that the driver was wearing a mask, pppe, protective wear. but, you know what? there is nothing wrong with getting fresh air. is he our president. he wanted to uplift the spirit of americans and reassure him he is going to be okay. i think that really did work and the americans were out there at walter reed supporting him were happy to see him. brian: and they say that after seven days you really get a better idea if the virus is going to take a turn for the worse or for the better. not oat that seven days yet. i just hope the president takes his time, leaving today seems to be with everything they have at walter reed, this seems to be an unnecessary risk. steve: well, you know, we have had people on our special edition on friday who said their advice to the president is just take it easy. take a couple of naps each day. and for the president we get to why he wants to get back on the trail but he has got to take care of himself. the worry is that if he overdoes it, and goes back to the white house, too early, he could actually winding up going back to the hospital some time soon. all right. more on this throughout the morning. nonetheless, it is the first monday in october. that's when the u.s. supreme court opens and, of course, all eyes on the nomination and confirmation hearings of amy coney barrett. democrats say, look, given the fact that three republican senators have tested positively for covid, we don't know the full exposure to the u.s. senate. and so, chuck and senator amy klobuchar just both of them yesterday were out and about saying slow down, let's take our time. watch. >> mitch mcconnell seems to be jamming through the hearings on amy coney barrett. if it's not safe for the senate to meet in session, it's not safe for the hearings to go forward. there is no reason on god's green earth why these shouldn't be delayed other than an effort to rush a witness through in an inadequate hearing where people can't even see the witness face to face. >> instead of ramming through a supreme court justice, wait until after the election, better for safety, better for the country. steve: and, you know, they were saying that even before it was revealed that a number of senators had covid and the president had covid as well. mitch mcconnell said yesterday he is going to bring the senate back on october the 19th. and senator lindsey graham said that the hearings will start for her confirmation via video on the 12th. they have had other hearings via video. we just saw james comey a couple days ago showing up from his rec room. ainsley: it doesn't get safer than that if they are going to do it over video. she is still on track to fill that seat before the elections. there is seven democratic senators who are still refusing to meet with her. here are those senators right there on your screen. and then tom cotton, senator tom cotton says he told fox news yesterday there will be no interference in holding these hearings, brian. brian: by the way ted cruz weighed in and said listen, there is too much at stake to put this off. everything else has been going on. if this was the first day of the pandemic and no one has ever done this before in the history of our country, before we got so used to this where have you james comey sitting there in a -- just sitting there with a collared shirt taking questions from the press pool table in the background that would be different. used to this already. he says full steam ahead, take a listen. >> the left is losing their minds right now with this vacancy. they feel their hammer lock on the court is in danger of slipping away, and it's about power. it's about power to control america without actually having to convince voters. i mean, the hard left views most american voters as ignorant rubes our betters shut set the rules for us. that is really what drives, i think, their rage in this context. brian: right. and of course ted cruz real focused on beating steve in the race to sell more books. we all know that. steve: does he have a cookbook? brian: little different but same people buying it. senator tillis and senator lee two key members of the judiciary committee now shall quarantined because of the virus and ron johnson, too we will see where this goes. steve: outdoor town hall tonight. interesting. i was reading that the polls showed that joe biden actually has less support than hillary clinton had in 2016. and donald trump actually is doing very well with hispanic voters, especially cuban americans. brian: can i add one thing? steve: quickly. brian: vice president biden is getting a pass. they tell us almost nothing about his testing. weave don't know about his protocols. we don't know what he does. we know he has been tested twice or three times because the date because the president tested positive. ainsley: did he test negative. brian: what does his staff do in the president has to be transparent but the vice president doesn't. steve: the campaign did release that he was tested yesterday and as ainsley said it was negative. so, let's see how it goes from here. and let's see how that town hall outdoors in miami works. they should have actually beautiful weather. 13 minutes now after the top of the weather. jillian joins us with other news. jillian: that's right. let's begin with this. today the body of a fallen officer will be escorted home in south carolina. jerrick cob pancher was with the myrtle beach police department five years volunteer fire department. the department posting this video of him smiling while listening to music in his patrol car car saying it perfectly shows his personality. shot and killed responding to domestic violence all on saturday. another officer was hurt but will be okay. the suspect was killed. attorney general bill barr is self-quarantining for several days out of caution. barr testing negative for covid-19 again on sunday. it's his fourth negative result since fry day. he could return to work as soon as friday. he atenkded the rose garden ceremony for supreme court nominee amy coney barrett with several people who have since tested positive. everyone at the event did test negative before attending. today, pennsylvania senator pat toomey is expected to announce he will be retiring from the senate. the republican has held his seat since 2011. his current term ends in 2022. is he also expected to pass on a run for governor in two years. toomey was considered a frontrunner for the republican nomination if he decided to run. week four of the nfl full of upsets and big place. check this out. >> mayfield on a fake flipped to beckham and gets away. now beckham, odell beckham comes back. oddle beckham jr. all the way. touchdown, cleveland. brian: wow. jillian: holding out the ghowbz a shootout win 49-38. how about the second half tom brady threw three touchdowns in the win over the chargers. joe burrow picking up his first win. cincinnati topped the jaguars 33-24. philadelphia eagles finally getting their first win of the season. rallying in the fourth quarter to beat the 49ers 25-20. brian, what happened to your giants. brian: you ask me every weekend and every week i say they are two years away. jillian: we just got our first win. brian: that team beat both new york teams before they played you, san francisco. ainsley: we have good talent on the giants because they are young they will be better in two years or are you hoping? brian: that's a glass half full approach we need that in america. they are the youngest team in the nfl in terms of starters. steve: thank you, jillian. ainsley: new york city mayor planning another big shutdown affecting nonessential businesses and schools. dr. saphier says don't blame the return to the classroom. more on her take next. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> as he continues to look and feel as well as he does today. our hope is that we can plan for a discharge tomorrow to the white house where can he continue his treatment course. ainsley: trump's medical team is optimistic he could return to the white house as early as today. some experts not treating him concerneoxygen level has droppe. drul sapphire joins us. >> good morning, ainsley. ainsley: i'm one of those who say you have to look to your doctors. if they say you can go home can you go home. do you think could go home today despite his oxygen levels did drop twice. >> let me tell you, ainsley, i trust the physicians treating president trump implicitly, they're experts in their field and they know the ins and outs of the details much more than we can speculate. they are watching him closely. everything is being scrutinized with a magnifying glass right now. the fact that his pulls oxygenation dropped twice and he may or may not have gotten oxygen both times they don't know how low they dropped they said 93% to be honest ainsley a lot of people home, that are sick that are not being constantly monitored by a pulse oxygenation monitor they have it as well. those levels don't necessarily put someone in the hospital. i think everything is being heavily scrutinized right now. to have someone go home from the hospital with covid-19, they really look for not having a spike in fever and not requiring oxygen for over 48 hours as well as having the blood work trend not guilty right way all of which the physicians are saying is happening for president trump. so i don't think it's unreasonable for him to potentially go back to the white house. and let's remember, he has 24-hour care at the white house. it's not like is he just going back against the wolves and no one is going to be paying attention to him or monitoring him. ainsley: he hasn't had a fever since friday morning. what do you make of these drugs that he is taking? >> let me tell you, they are definitely being aggressive with his treatment. i mean, as i always say prevention and early intervention are key in treating any illness. that's what they are doing for the president. he overrent regeneron antibody cocktail initially which helps boost the immune system. started on remdesivir which shows to shorten the hospital stay and gave him dexamethasone when they saw his blood oxygenation lowering down. all of which shown in clinical trials to help people cover from covid-19. giving him immune boosters, doing everything they can to get the president back to good again which you see from his videos he does seem to be doing well. he is walking around on room air. does appear to be short of breath. that being said, he is not out of the woods. we still like to see from dave five to nine on symptom onset you still can get better, get worse. everyone is a little bit different. they will continue watching him. ainsley: in new york mayor bill de blasio wants to shut down nine different zip codes in brooklyn and queens because they are seeing spikes in coronavirus. how do you explain this? why certain zip codes have these spikes? >> first of all, tough look at where those spikes are occurring insular orthodox communities we have dealt with for years when it comes to breakouts of measles, mumps, flu and covid-19 in the first wave. now again we are coming off the high holidays. a lot of family gatherings and community gatherings. it's not surprising that they had the spike there the important things are it's not necessarily occurring in the schools. school-aged children really only represent about 10% of active infections in the united states right now. so, while i understand that they're having spikes there and maybe they need temporary closures just in those neighborhoods. let's remember, this is new york city. we are not all confined to these little boroughs, people go to the bodega in this borough and go to the grocery store in this borough and dry cleaner in another borough. people aren't so insulated in that one area. they need to do what they can to decrease the spread. that's limiting those social gatherings. we can't have all of those large people indoor gatherings. that's how we are spreading the virus. it doesn't seem to be the schools. ainsley: everyone needs to fault rules. thanks so much, dr. saphier. >> thank you, ainsley. ainsley: you are welcome. it's one of the highlights of the presidential debate back in 1988. >> i knew jack kennedy. jack kennedy was a friend of mine. senator, you are no jack kennedy. [cheers and applause] ainsley: was that the vice presidential debate. what can we expect from mike pence and kamala harris? what did they learn from the past for wednesday's debate? a trip down memory lane coming up next.

take a look at some of the defining moments from the past vp debates with one of the best in the business. debate coach extraordinaire brett o'donnell. first off, can i ask you about these two? look at the way they line up and the stakes for that mike pence knows where he is coming from. but kamala harris, that changes for her being that the president has been hospitalsized since and how off the rails the presidential debate was? >> well, you would think that it would force her to back down a little bit and to play maybe a little nicer in the debate. but my guess is for, you know, if you watched her in the primary debates, she was on attack sometimes over the top on the attack, and so i think she is going to go after the president for how he has handled this situation and for how he has handled the virus and use this as a proof point to say you haven't handled the virus the way that you should. i think that would be a mistake. but i do think that's where she will probably go. brian: right, you know what's interesting is she blew up because she didn't know the policies. she is whip smart. very good on law, questioning. but she didn't know the issues. and tulsi gabbard destroyed her she never recovered. if i'm mike pence i'm looking at that video. speaking of mike pence and his approach we have clue how he will be. remember, he was against tim kaine. you thought this was a big moment in 2016 when he focused on hillary's private server, watch. >> it's important in this moment to remember that hillary clinton had a private server in her home that had classified information. >> 30 seconds about. >> drone strikes, emails from the president of the united states of america were on there. >> right. brian: right. you also heard basically the moderator try to stop it. but, what's your thought on that? why was that important? >> i think that's a great moment to demonstrate what the job of the vice presidential debate is the job of the vice presidential debate is for that candidate to be a defender of the top of the ticket and attack the top of the picket on the other side. mike pence was -- he did a great job in that debate attacking hillary clinton rather than making it about tim kaine. very few people knew who tim kaine was and it really is important because when people go into the ballot box they are voting for the top of the ticket. so he did a great job there attacking hillary clinton, which is exactly what you should be doing in the vice presidential debate. if they come after how the president has handled the virus. the vice president knows everything that's going on plus and minus. is he doing most of the work. interacting with most of the states, including her state where that governor has given him a lot of compliments, almost everyone is giving him compliments by the way. you point back to 2008 then an aspiring vice presidential candidate joe biden senator meets sarah palin. obviously he didn't want to be too tough. like he would be later on against paul ryan. let's listen. coy call you joe? brian: you thought those few seconds were so important, why? >> because it overwrote the entirety of the debate. the vice presidential debates are a little different than the presidential debates in that people will watch them but they mainly read about them and hear about them. and that was the moment from that debate. it didn't even occur after the debate had started. it occurred before the debate where sarah palin walked out and asked if she could call him joe. it was a moment where she showed herself to be apropos. it was the moment that determined how the debate would be conducted from the rest of that debate biden was sort of put in a corner to have to be nice to sarah palin and he did and that debate ended in a time. brian: , it didn't. joe biden would become the vice president and barack obama the president of the united states. much more intellectual. these aren't the two to really interrupt each other. america does not wants to see that next time, brett. we will do the post game report if that's okay. >> sounds good. brian: thank you very much. and of course they were trimming the grass during that segment. mean while the the media says president trump's visit outside of walter reed put the secret service in danger. >> you will driving him and in the vehicle with him at some degree of higher risk. >> being in a vehicle with secret service agents would potentially expose them yet, that's precisely what we saw. brian: right, those are doctors, i mean reporters. former secret service officer dan bongino joins us next. >> we love you, mr. president. [cheers] ainsley: waving thims up to the crowd. president trump surprised his supporters outside of walter reed medical center during a drive by visit. brian: the president seen waving to reports giving a thumbs up sign wearing a mask. steve: some critics are slamming the move for putting secret service detail at risk. appropriate precautions were taken and it was approved by his medical team. let's bring in dan bongino fox news contributor and former secret service guy. dan, imagine you were the secret service guy in the front seat wearing an n-95 mask. why be worried? the white house says that precautionprecautions were takey cleared it? >> yeah. well, you know, we don't get to be worried. that's not what we do. this story is infuriating, infuriating. no one gave a damn, listen to me. i would like to say something else but it's cable news and it's the morning show. no one gave a damn about the secret service when the secret service was at risk other protect years knowingly put them at risk in other situations. steve, do you remember the story about the friend of mine who caught chicken -- fever in africa. brian: do. >> of course you don't. you never heard about it. why didn't you hear about that one? what about when a guy who is on -- guy by the name of dan bongino how about when i caught bengay fever in south africa with another protectee? do you remember that story? no, you don't remember that either. how about the hundreds of other agents get sick traveling around the world for photo op.s you know why you don't hear about that story? that's not what we do. we are not a bunch of whiners. we go out and we protect the president of the united states. of the united states gets to acts like the president of the united states without having to worry about us because we signed on to take the worry for him. listen to me, someone was getting in that car or that helicopter and closing that door and protecting the president of the united states infected or not. someone was going to do it. and these guys and women of the secret service are the one that had the nerve to do it. so to these media buffoons, you clowns, who don't know the first thing about honor, dignity or courage i know you wouldn't get in that car with the president with a mask or a full bubble suit because you are churches and cowards and spineless losers. we all know that don't you dare utter the word secret service again because you know nothing about these men or women why they do what they do. how they wind up in that car and they did it and they would do it again tomorrow. shut your mouth, put your caboose in a chair and sthit one out. ainsley: did i hear someone say we don't know the situation of those secret service individuals. they might have already had covid. maybe there is plexiglass between the front seat and backseat like the new york city taxi cabs. >> ainsley, god forbid like you are asking sensible questions. i don't expect that of these media buffoons who have the spines of a jelly fish to be commenting on the risk they are in. again, i don't remember any of those stories when we took knowing risks. remember when i was over in afghanistan with obama and we had to turn the lights out for air force one so we didn't get hit with idf mortar fire? do you remember that story? no one else did either. we don't talk about it. that's what we do. everyone else in the media commenting all of a sudden they are using this story to bash trump and it's disgusting. brian: let's switch gears and talk about the russia investigation. wrote two best selling books on it. andy mccabe the former chief of the fbi decided that he will not testify this week because, and i will read the quote just from his lawyer to the judiciary committee. mr. mccabe is willing, able and eager to testify in person crossfire hurricane any point in the future when it is safe to do so not willing to put his family's health at risk to do. so but he is not willing t -- se conducted other than in person. okay. do you have a problem with that? >> i have never let you down with sources, i have, brian? brian: nope. zero. >> let me tell you what's really going on here. they have now been an uncovered treasure trove of evidence in this case. there is now a paper trail. they are all dead to rights. all of them. brennan, comey, mccabe, strzok, all of them. here is what is really going on. brennan is trying to cover his butt. that ratcliffe memo says on juld obama that this whole collusion hoax was made up and made up to distract america from hillary's email scandal, the fbi knew about that. there is now a paper trail. everybody knows the fbi knew about it. and why does mccabe think is he going to get the coronavirus through internet connection he? doesn't. he doesn't want to testify because he knows that we know and everybody else -- brian, let me ask you one more thing. john brennan always speaks cryptically, always. he never writes specific dates or times. he wrote a op-ed a few weeks ago in the "the washington post" where he mentioned a very specific date where he briefed obama on russia. what was that date in the op-ed? go read it. it was july 28th. two days after we now know he really briefed obama. brennan knows we know and he is trying to confuse everyone right now. brian: just so you know they are saying the ratcliffe released, they are saying it's not authenticated because it could be russian disinformation. just telling you. :good. keep on with that everybody needs to call their senators and call their congressman and demand the underlying documents showing exactly what led to that memo. folks, i have never asked you this. you need to call them and tell them to have those underlying documents released stat. this case will be blown wide open. there will be no escape. it's not even a smoking gun. it's a smoking nuclear missile. everybody knows now. and all of the spy gate plotters know we know. steve: dan, it was a week ago when you were on the program and you were telling us about some health concerns and challenges you were having. just out of curiosity, are there any updates? >> yeah. i'm up in new york now. forgive me i left my jacket home by mistake. yeah, i'm having surgery on wednesday. they are going to cut hopefully this tumor out of my neck. at a minimum they will cut a portion out and we will have a better idea if there was any kind of a spread or what the level of aggression is so, that's why i'm here in this hotel room here. but thank you for asking. either way we will be okay. i'm still optimistic so is my wife. there is a treatment plan either way. it sucks. i mean, i'm not going to lie to you. we will deal with it. everybody has got their obstacles. it's just one more to get over. steve: i'm sure have you got really good doctors. you know a lot of people watching right now are praying for you and sending good wishes your way. >> i love them. i sincerely mean that folks. your emails and tweets and all that. it's really rips the heart out of me. you men and women are amazing. listen and watch the show and watch fox. i mean that. ainsley: praying doctors have favor with them and god protects you during this time. we love you. brian: dan, come back with simply an update. we won't talk to you about russia and we will talk your health update next. ainsley: 6:46 on the east coast. president trump's physicians. >> simple question for the american people. whose statements about the american health should be -- our next guest says the press should stisteerclear of thinking

the president's doctor sean conley facing a barrage of questions yesterday's briefing. he was pressed on the president's health and inconsistencies in earlier remarks. >> the fact of the matter is that he's doing really well. if everything continues to go well we will start discharge planning back to the warehouse. >> today to disclose that the president had been administered oxygen? >> why is the president not wearing a mask in the videos and photos that have been released? >> yesterday you told us that the president was in great shape. minutes after your press conference white house chief of staff mark meadows told reporters that the president's vitals were very concerning. >> whose statements about the president's health should we believe? >> the chief and i work side by side and i think his statement was misconstrued. steve: well, here with reaction, media reporter for the hill joe con challenge. joe, over the weekend, the world press wants to know how the president is and there was some inconsistencies. there was some confusion as well. i mean, you look at the headlines criticizing the doctor and things that mark meadows had said. and i think ultimately people just wants to know how the president is. what did you think? >> well, i think if we're going to believe all these conspiracy theories around the president's health, steve, you have to ignore the fact that the president put out videos speaking directly to the american people. videos that he at least has 86 million followers on twitter. you have to discount that you also have to believe that dr. conley who is only lieutenant commanders of a nato trauma unit in afghanistan is in on this conspiracy in terms of misleading the american public. but, on top of that, you also have to believe the president's medical team consists of hodgkins, klein, carter, meehan. 11 total, doctors nurses and a pharmacist are also in on this conspiracy. so, look, i'm seeing tweets like from cnn's national security analyst, steve, quote: it is very likely that russian intelligence agencies through signal and human intel sources embedded at walter reed have more evidence about the president's condition than we do. columnist plays one 35 times over the weekend jennifer rubin that the president needs to be removed under the 25th amendment. have you mostly cloudy skies ask house speaker pelosi if she has been asked about continuity succession of government should something happen to both trump and pence is she ready to be president? seeing this jumping ahead and conspiracy theories not by everyone. there has been responsible reporting but by some that is just beyond reckless and such a serious moment in such a serious situation. steve. steve: it is a serious situation because the president of the united states has a potentially devastating disease right now. and everybody wants to know the status of it. of course, it seemed like he wanted just to show people yesterday i'm doing okay because he hopped in his armored up suburban and took a lap around walter reed yesterday. and the media reaction -- there was a lot of rage online that the president put the -- the secret service agents in that vehicle at risk. your reaction to the media reaction? >> they were wearing the proper ppe. obviously they have to be with the president at all times, right? so the president may even be discharged as early as today. so, again, if the president is do so horribly then how could he go back to the white house in the fact is the answer is the hospital comes to him. at the white house at all times there is a full medical units according to the u.s. army. full team of doctors, registered nurses pas and obviously the president's medical team. they could even perform emergency surgery at the white house if need be. the secret service is going to have to be around the president at all times. obviously they are taking the proper precautions and the president again understands optics to go out and tell his supporters not just outside the hospital but the country and the world that i think i'm going to be okay, that is con sis tentsd with his message from the beginning in terms of coronavirus, in terms of promoting optimism instead of doom and gloom. steve: right. do you see a double standard in the reaction, in the coverage? >> i hate to say that though, right? because it should just be consistent all around. i'm old enough to remember september 12th of 2001. you didn't have astoria around george w. bush and blame game. the country rallied together. the press was responsible for reporting the facts and knowing what we know. now you see doctors being interviewed having even diagnosed him telling them what they think is going on instead of listening to the doctors in the room with the president. by the way got to go a car shopping thing. its zoo zoo on ford festive have a used because i love ford festive have as. steve: we did hear that about your show. too bad. look at the guests coming up in the next two hours of fox and friends. re-entering data that employees could enter themselves? that's why i get up in the morning! i have a secret method for remembering all my hr passwords. my boss doesn't remember approving my time off. let's just... find that email. the old way of doing business slows everyone down. with paycom, employees enter and

live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread and that tests positive for pd-l1 and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. it's the first and only approved chemo-free combination of two immunotherapies that works together in different ways to harness the power of the immune system. opdivo plus yervoy equals a chance for more days. more nights. more beautiful weekends. more ugly sweaters. more big hugs. more small outings. opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in your body and affect how they work. this may happen during or after treatment has ended and can become serious and lead to death. some of these problems may happen more often when opdivo is used with yervoy. see your doctor right away if you have a new or worse cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; diarrhea; severe stomach pain; nausea or vomiting; dizziness; fainting; extreme tiredness; weight changes; constipation; excessive thirst; changes in urine or eyesight; rash; itching; confusion; memory problems; muscle pain or weakness; joint pain; flushing; fever; or tingling in hands and feet. these are not all the possible side effects. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including immune system problems, or if you've had an organ transplant or lung, breathing, or liver problems. here's to a chance for more together time. a chance to live longer. ask your doctor about opdivo plus yervoy. thank you to all involved in our clinical trials. >> continues to look and feel as well as he does today, our hope is that we can plan for discharge as early as tomorrow. >> it's been a very interesting journey. i learned a lot will covid. i learned it by really going to school. this is the real school. >> the president is here to a certain extent putting secret service agents at some degree of higher risk. >> using this story to bash trump and it's disgusting. >> my contention is this is biden's -- texas is that important. >> everything i see this is trump country and i don't see that changing. >> mitch mcconnell seems to be jamming through the hearings on amy coney barrett. >> one of the reasons the left is losing their minds right now, they feel their hammer lock on the court is in danger. >> as they go across the stripe a photo finish. denny hamlin gets the nod by 231,000 sands oby 231/1,000ths . >> good morning to you. we are learning the president could be released from reed hospital some time today that would be good news. brian: i would hatz to think he is rushing out today. just stay at walter reed. it looks nicer than almost any office i have seen in my life from what i have seen. you can be productive there i think it would be terrible to go and have to go back again. ainsley: the doctors would not let him leave if they didn't think it was the right measure. brian: right. one of the doctors is the one that says the president could be out as early as today. my feeling is be safe. if you are worried about the markets. the markets would hate for you to go back and forth. steve: the worry is if he returns too early it could lead to a second trip to walter reed. and walter reed is where gillian turner is standing by with the very latest on the president's condition. so, jillian, have you got the perfect spot because if he were to exit that hospital right behind you, you would. >> pretty good. steve: he had a drive by yesterday. any idea what time if he is released what would happen? >> we don't know a time yet brian, ainsley and steve. so overnight the president's medical team did not confirm when exactly he is going to be discharged from the hospitals here but they said yesterday that it could come as soon as caveat describing over the weekend is an upward trajectory. meanwhile the patient in chief himself posting on twitter yesterday sounded pretty reflective. take a listen. >> it's been a very interesting journey. i learned a lot about covid. i learned it by really going to school. this is the real school. this isn't the let's read the book school. and i get it. and i understand it. and it's very interesting thing. i'm going to be letting you know about it. >> now the white house says the president continued working throughout the day yesterday. we know he got a briefing from his national security team in the afternoon. he then surprised his supporters who were gathered outside the hospital, with a drive by. including the presidential wave and a thumbs up to show his appreciation. the president though did generate instant criticism for exposing himself to secret service agents while still highly, reportedly, contagious. the white house though pushed back on that criticism last night. they said appropriate precautions were taken in the execution of this movement to protect the president and all those supporting it. last night kayleigh mcenany told us that getting back to 1600 pennsylvania avenue is a top priority for the president himself, according to medical team though it sounds like the president is still in the middle of what is a pretty hefty drug regimen. take a listen. >> we continue to plan to use a five-day course of remdesivir in responds to transient low oxygen levels, we did initial united states dexamethasone therapy and he received his first dose of that yesterday and our plan is to continue that for the time being. >> the team disclosed these details yesterday, after admitting to misstating the reality of the president's condition earlier over the weekend on saturday. now, the campaign trail as you guys know, must go on. so, vice president pence is getting back out there this week while the president is convalescing here. is he building up to the debate on wednesday, a rally thursday. joe biden also getting back out there. he is heading to florida today. we know both of them did test positive -- excuse me, both tested negative yesterday. steve: that's exactly right. gillian, before did you go at the beginning of your live report i heard somebody honking. yesterday there were so many supporters honking. is the honking going on day and night? because if i were the president with that going on out on the street, i might have trouble sleeping with all the honking. gill gill well, i have been here since about 3:00 a.m. this morning, steve. i can speak to that i have not heard honking like that so far it has been pretty quiet. folks are stuarting to gather just behind me, so far supporters right before live shot counted three of them we are expecting more will probably show up throughout the day. steve: thank you very much for a live report from be these darks maryland. ainsley: there was a lot of honking yesterday when the president went out there just to do a thumbs up and wave to the crowd from inside the car with his windows up. doctors say he did have two episodes of the transient drops in oxygen levels. he hasn't had a fever since friday morning. cardiac, kidney and liver functions all normal and no signs of shortness of breath. he has been seen walking around the white house unit at walter reed. dr. saphier was on our show earlier talking about why it's reasonable for president trump to go back home to the white house. >> everything has been heavily scrutinized right now. you know, to have someone go home from the hospital with covid-19, they really look for not having a spike in fever and not requiring oxygen for 48 hours as well as having the blood work trending in the right way and all of this the physicians is saying is happening for president trump. i don't think it's unreasonable for him to potentially go back to the white house. and let's remember, he has 24-hour care at the white house. it's not like he is just going back against the wolves and no one is going to be paying attention to him or monitoring him. ainsley: they do have a medical facility at the white house as joe concha was talking about earlier. also talking about that drug dexamethasone he was on she said it was steroid and supplies antibodies to help fight the virus and sometimes can make you feel better than you were when you were healthy before you were diagnosed, brian. brian: so have you got the steroid issue. you have to worry about the oxygenation issue. have to worry about the fever if it goes up or not. and for the next seven days. my sense is, if he was stuck in an icu and he felt as though he was needed to be able to do the work of the people and did not want to give the power to the vice president. i could see it. but being that that walter reed facility is everything he needs, have the doctors ready to go in a situation that they're most comfortable with, there is no reason to speed it up. able to run the bills of the country. yesterday he had his national security briefing about 4:00. is he able to give these video on a regular basis. everyone is talking to him. it seems like rudy giuliani, his attorney had a chance to talk to him. obviously mark meadows is meeting with him regularly. just doesn't seem reasonable to rush out of there. marco rubio says conspiracy theories and outrageous claims lies spread much faster than fact checking that's why we need frequent updates the divergence of facts between mark meadows and the doctors created a wide opening for conspiracy theories to go wild over the weekend. and hopefully they willable on the same page this weekend. in fact, here is the media using the opportunity to slam the president. >> the president here is, to a certain extent, putting these secret service agents who are driving him and who are in the vehicle with him at some degree of higher risk. >> being in a vehicle with secret service agents would potentially expose them yet, that's precisely what we saw just a few hours ago here at walter reed as the president took this joy ride to visit supporters who have been gathered along the pike just behind me. brian: bottom line is the president got cleared to do that by walter reed and i believe they are more qualified than all those reporters although i'm not sure if they do have a medical background and add to that drive by did affect the futures. after the president drove by the futures went up. and maybe this morning they are holding steady. steve: i think everybody is buoyed by the fact that the president of the united states is doing better. it wasn't just the media criticizing that drive around. there is an attending physician at walter reed by the name of dr. james phillips. he put out a statement he said this is insanity. every single person in the vehicle during that unnecessary presidential drive by just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. but have you got to put yourself in the shoes of the secret service agents. and that's what we did when we invited dan bongino on about 40 minutes ago. and he had this observation about the men and women who protect the president. >> we protect the president of the united states and the president of the united states getz to act like the is the of the united states without having to worry about us. listen if me, someone was getting in that car or that helicopter and closing that door. protecting the president of the united states infected or not. someone was going to do it. these guy and women in the secret service. you know nothing about these men and women why they do what they do. how they wound up in that car and why they did it. and they would do it again tomorrow. steve: exactly. president's team okayed that and the president's team ultimately will decide when he can be released from hospital. but, it's interesting. you know, that video he took and released yesterday one of the things he said i learned a lot about covid. i get it. i understand it and it's a very interesting thing and i'm going to be letting you know about it. so you wonder what that means. does that mean his -- obviously his perspective has changed has his tone changed? i saw marc thiessen on the channel he was talking about going forward president trump has got other things he can talk about regarding covid because he has now had covid. ainsley, he will be able to say thanks to operation warp speed, operation warp speed actually saved my life because of these pharmaceuticals that he was able to take and the regiment of drugs which his administration fast tracked so the millions across the country suffering from it can benefit from operation warp speed. ainsley: well, look, he's the president of the united states. these doctors, he has the best team of doctors surrounding him and making decisions for him. they do not want anything to happen to the president. neither do any of us they will make sure they take good care of him. they will not let him leave walter reed unless is he healthy enough to go. they also have staff there at the white house as we have talked about. they have facility there if he does need extra care. if he leaves today that's three days without a fever. >> we thought debate was going to be a defining moment of this election in 2020. then this happened. this is going to be the defining moment of 2020. i imagine the president's recovery could be the defining moment let alone the second debate and the impactful wednesday debated. but, in the big picture, all i can say is for everyone out there who thinks this election is over either way. it was october 7th when the billy bush tape, access hollywood tape came out that changed everything last time you know who wanted him to reince priebus. by the time november 7th came around he was president of the united states. ainsley: seemed like a month ago. big story last week and going into the weekend it all changed. brian: steve, like your idea on the messaging. show strength and experience, too. steve: ultimately joe biden over the last joe biden has tried to make it about covid. the debate has been about covid. and with the president now having covid it will be interesting to hear once released from the hospital. ainsley: kamala is changing her plans for the debate on wednesday. she had a handful of trump zingers apparently and attack him on the pandemic. now she is looking to add more sense tiftd. brian: she can use them next week. steve: maybe. ainsley: hand it over to jillian. jillian: portland policeman shattering the wind dove a patrol car car and pepper spraying inside. arrested six blocks from the attack. collected window breaking tools, pepper spray inside the car. he faces charges including assaulting a public safety officer and aggravated harassment. the wildfires in california hitting a grim milestone. more than 4 million acres have been torched in the record-setting year. this is an area -- that is an area larger than the state of connecticut. the previous report from 2018 saw more than 1.6 million acres burned so far this season. more than 8200 wildfires have broken out. at least 31 people have died. the nfl is expected to hold a mandatory call with all teams today to go over coronavirus protocols. it comes after at least 18 players and staff on the tennessee titans tested positive last week. meanwhile the new england patriots will play the kansas city chiefs tonight. the game was originally set for yesterday but it was postponed after both teams had players test positive that includes patriots quarterback cam newton. today marks made in america day and the start of made in america week and it celebrates our country's inventors and workers. collin wane a veteran and owner joined us on fox and friends this morning to talk about the importance of american made business doing something putting people over profit. cheaper and cheaper for business owners to outsource. for me, everything that we do is probably right here. we don't want to subjobs out, not even to other places in the united states. i would love to control that right here and it's great for our business plan where we continue to scale rapidly. even if it is a little bit more expensive. >> president trump saying a proclamation saying quote made in america is not a slogan it a solemn pledge it. is the foundation of our renewed success. look at your headlines, back to you. steve: made in america week. brian: joe biden liked it so much he took it. steve: is he building it back better. have you heard? brian: yeah, i heard. ainsley: 15 minutes after the top of the hour, one week away from the start of amy coney barrett's confirmation hearing and the senate democrats are demanding a delay. senator marsha blackburn sits on the judiciary committee and her response to that backlash next. brian: right. explain the nba shot shortly ♪ ♪ knowing who we are is hard. it's

full senate's return to capitol hill until october 19th. things up there here on the back and forth battle is the member of the senate judiciary committee herself and author of this new book it's great the mind of a conservative woman. let's get in that mind now, senator marsha blackburn welcome back. your response to senator schumer saying, wait, there is no reason on god's green earth to rush it. your response? >> well, senator schumer knows that because the senate rules committee, with chairman blunt and ranking member senator klobuchar approved a process by which we could do hybrid hearings. and they did this last spring. and senate judiciary committee has done 21 hybrid hearings. so, brian, we have a way to move forward. it is not rushing it. the american people want us to be busy with our work, whether we're working remotely, virtually, or in person, so we are going to move forward with these hearings and they are going to begin next monday, october 12th. brian: let's say you have the hearings and they do the hybrid method, but when it comes to voting you have to be there in person. >> correct. brian: you might not know the answer to this. if a democratic senator says yeah, i'm not comfort being going, in it jeopardizing my health, can they not show up and what would happen then? >> as long as we have 51 votes, we will deem the measure passed. i am thrilled that we are going to move forward and we are going to move judge barrett who is so highly qualified and highly regarded by her colleagues on both the left and the right. we are going to move her forward and confirm her. brian: tillis and lee both tested positive. they are supposed to have that 10 to 14 day sequester. hopefully they will be on the fast track. if not complicate things let alone their own health. move forward with another big story no one is talking about but we should andy mccabe. a few days after james comey says he didn't remember almost anything about the russia investigation has decided this. and i will read what his lawyer said. mccabe is willing, able and eager to testify in person about crossfire hurricane at any time in the future when it is not safe and put his family at risk. willing to testify remotely. unfair for james comey and everybody else to do it but unfair to him? are you buying this? >> no, i'm not buying that at all. he knows that rosen stein gates and comey have come before the committee and said they were completely oblivious to anything that was going on. but, brian, somebody cooked up this plan. somebody gave the order to carry it out and somebody did the dirty work. our job is to find the somebody. so, when you look at what has been said by strzok and page and mccabe in his paid position commentator now and then comey having been at the january 5th meeting in the oval office, it is just unbelievable that these people think the american people do not understand that they cooked up this plan and then they carried it out and you know, really when you find out about hillary clinton's july comments and you look at that and look at brennan, you know that they decided to use the power of the federal government to spy on president donald trump. then, a private citizen and they continued this into the early months of his administration. and if they can do it to him, they could do it to you, to me, to anybody else. brian: so what you are witnessing for people that get caught up in the details and say wait a second, what did i miss? sally yates didn't know anything about it. she says comey goes rogue. comey says i wasn't running this investigation. i don't even know where the dossier came from. i don't know who paid for it. now that leaves all the focus on mccabe, who all of a sudden is worried about his welfare and doesn't think he could be looked at as accurate remotely. doesn't he contribute to his network remotely? is anything that he says misconstrued on that network? now everybody else can testify from doctors on down but he is worried about his welfare. i don't think any clear thinking american, democrat or republican, buys that senator blackburn, good luck with your book. hopefully he will change his ways. i know you are negotiating with peter strzok to come forward. i wonder if he will be too scared as well. >> that's right. and, you know, these guys are making a lot of money off of writing their story, telling that but then they don't want to come talk to us and they don't want to face consequences, which sally yates said if they knowingly, willingly gave false information, they should face those consequences. brian: senator, it's unbelievable that he can get away with this. thank you so much for joining us today. >> thank you. brian: still ahead on our show president trump's doctor

motorcade made a brief appearance in front of supporters after his medical team apparently gave this update on the president's health. >> he has remained without fever since friday morning. his vital signs are stable. >> as he continues to look and feel as well as he does today, our hope is that we can plan for a discharge as early as tomorrow. steve: as early as tomorrow. so what will that look like? let's talk to fox news medical contributor and author of the upcoming book "covid, the politics of fear and the power of science" dr. marc siegel who joins us today. i believe you are in seattle. i see a space needle behind you. last night you talked to the president's doctor and what can you tell us? >> i heard from dr. conley last night and he said he is still on track for discharge today today and he emphasized they have all the equipment thee they had at the white house in the president continues to do well in terms notify fever no oxygen needs and looking stable. this is a clinical gestalt. it's not just numbers. i have been doing this 30 years i look at the patient how do they sound and are they comfortable and make the decision. with the white house as a backup that's a huge advantage that they have. i also question about the issues of what tests were done and i have heard from sources that he had ultrasounds of the heart. that he had a cat scan of the lungs and what what i'm understanding all of that looked good that's another thing that bodes well for his recovery. steve: we're heard this remdesivir is a five day treatment. he would be three days in by now. he has two more left. i believe it's intravenous not like a pill you pop. we also heard he took a steroid called and i think it's pronounced dexamethasone which is typically not used in people who have mild or moderate cases. it's usually used with people who have it pretty bad. so, when people have heard that steroid was being used maybe is he not in such good health after all. >> well, steve, you pronounced that drug exactly right. and the studies came out on new england journal of medicine and elsewhere shows a big advantage of survival. as you said people who have moderate or severe covid affecting the lungs, i think in his case i don't have inside information of this they want to be ahead of the curve. that's why they gave him ren general ron to block the virus gave him remdesivir quickly and early. that's why when his oxygen level dropped reportedly on friday they probably responded with the steroid here in advance of having that cat scan to look at the lungs. the respect that he has responded so well and not on oxygen now is extremely positive and makes me think that he is not currently in any kind of a severe problem with it in terms of his lungs. are they going to stop the dexamethasone when he leaves the hospital or continue it for a few more days? we don't know that either. remdesivir the antiviral you are right they shoot for a five day course. today would probably be day four. they could give him a day more at the white house. i don't think that would be a problem. steve: dr. marc siegel joining with us exclusive details of conversation with the doctor. doctor, thank you very much. and thank you for joining us from seattle vanchts great day. steve: you bet. meanwhile, on this monday, president trump's campaign says it's going full speed ahead with maga. what can we expect? nobody better to ask than the senior campaign adviser mercedes schlapp. she is coming up next. but, first, thank you from my wife cathy and i for helping

is being treated by medical center. steve: could be released as early as today, ainsley. ainsley: the president surprised his supporter with a drive by motorcade while he was wearing a mask. can you see him there behind the glass, windows rolled up. let's bring in mercedes schlapp senior adviser to trump's 2020 campaign. good morning to you. >> good morning. ainsley: how are you all coping with all of this. >> well, i have got to tell you, the president is such an inspiration to all of us. set ultimate fighter. he obviously has stayed in contact not only with the campaign but obviously talking directly to the american people in saying we are going to get through this and defeat this virus and surrender to it like joe biden would surrender to the virus. at the end of the day we know the president is doing well. we are optimistic is he going to be released today and statement our campaign is full speed ahead with operation maga. we are not going to stop the president fought for us for a long time. we are out there fighting for him. we are deploying the first family. we are doing virtual events, in person events as well as coalitions our women for trump, our catholics for trump,

is without hope hicks who is key. ronna mcdaniel rnc down. kellyanne has always been adviser even though temporarily she walked away and your boss bill stepien. are you going to deal with those gaps in the lineup. >> there are no gaps. i have just been texting in communication with bill stepien. look, we have a very strong campaign management team. our leadership, including jason miller, obviously justin clark, nic trainer, all these men and women are very much ready to go and bill stepien is still at the helm. is he staying in very close contact with us. directing the ship here at the campaign. and, you know, this is the wonders of technology. you can actually stay in touch and ensure we are moving forward. obviously we have got the vice president who we have got the debate this week and then he is on the road to arizona and other swing states taking the president's message of accomplishments versus joe biden's weak record of 47 years of failure. so, you know, i have got to tell you, we are ready to continue this fight. the momentum son our side. i have been traveling across the country and i have just continued to see how there is an outpouring of support for this president. we have got a strong ground game. you are talking about 2.4 million doors were knocked on last week alone. we have made over 100 million phone calls in this cycle. we have over 2 million volunteers. and where is joe biden he? called the media lid at 9:30. he is just starting to do some canvassing some door knocking. i tell you, our ground game is in place. we are ready to win. steve: mercedes, maybe you could help us out. that little sound bite we played of the president yesterday in the presidential suite at walter reed, he said regarding covid, i have learned a lot about covid, obviously he has got it. he said i get it, i understand it, it's a very interesting thing. and i'm going to be letting you know about that. does that mean that his message about covid is going to change going forward or the tone about covid will be different? because, obviously, and we mentioned this a moment ago, can he now say that, you know, i feel that operation warp speed, to come up with all these pharmaceuticals and drugs and things like that and treatments saved my life. >> well, i think there is always a side of the president that a lot of americans don't get to see. and it's the side of compassion. and i think that he is going to be able to relate to those individuals who have been inflicted by coronavirus. who has lost a family member to coronavirus. and i think for the president, it's been his priority since day one to ensure that the state and local governments have the resources they need to combat the virus. it's been the president's priority to ensure that we mobilize the private sector and be able to restock our national stockpile on the equipment on the mask. and at the end of the day, it was president trump who pushed forward operation warp speed. vaccine development. being key to ensuring that we try to get this done by the end of the year. and so now i think the president is able to, you know, talk from the heart of you who covid has impacted him. has impacted his family and his staff. thinks closest staff. look, it's desktly, when you see that your friends are being inflicted by coronavirus, it's tough. it's very tough. and, but you also realize that you can't be in lockdown indefinitely. we cannot lockdown our economy forever. we cannot lockdown our schools forever. we have got to defeat this virus. we are going to stay strong on this virus. that is what the president's vision is we are not going to be like joe biden who has made this decision to, you know, just stay in the basement occasionally campaign. that just doesn't work. we need to be optimistic. we are a strong nation. a resill cents nation. it's why i know and the president knows that we will defeat this virus and hit it head on. ainsley: mercedes, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you so much. ainsley: you are welcome. 44 minutes after the hour. hand it over to jillian for more headlines. jillian: good morning we are following a number of

misconduct. >> the documents that are underlying that we now have seen, i have only seen a few of them. they are definitely smoking guns. that information definitely needs to be made to the american

>> yeah, there is two things, the president looks like is he going to go back to the white house this week. that's absolutely huge. and, by the way, we closed down on friday but well, well off the lows from the initial news where the markets went into free fall mode. also, still lingering hopes that maybe there will be a fiscal stimulus package. you know, we will see. but that's the one-two punch driving this market this morning. ainsley: what about the debate last week and the debate this week. the vice presidential debate. did that last week make a difference and what about this wednesday? >> you know, it's interesting, the markets were up for the week last week. all the major indices were up. so, i'm not sure if the needle moved a lot on that. we also had a lot of economic data. the majority of it was good. economic data was good. the turns have been positive. we feel like the rebound is continues. but here's the thing. it's slowing and so all eyes are really going to refocus this week back to congress, back to potentially some fiscal stimulus and then perhaps back to the presidential numbers. remember, a lot of people were burned looking at polls, can i tell you right now the consumer confidence numbers when you look atna, in that survey, president trump had a 7 point lead over biden when people which candidate would be better for their own personal finances. so you have a lot going on still. ainsley: thank you so much, charles. we appreciate it. >> you got it. ainsley: live report from walter reed as trump's medical team says he could be discharged as early as today. breaking reaction from dr. oz, kayleigh mcenany and david bossie coming up. water. and more fiber is the only way to manage it. is it?

dr. oz: it depends oxygenation, brian. fatigue and other complaints like fever. number one is oxygenation level and given medications because of oxygen levels that were dropping 94%. they've been above that now for 2 days from what we understand. it would be reasonable to consider discharging him. by the way, they may have scanned his lungs. you don't usually do it here. that helps us look for evidence and infection in lungs that are aren't manifest from the outside, you can't tell from looking at oxygen levels but many people with covid have areas of the lungs that are inflamed and if you didn't have a lot of those, it would be additional evidence that it's safe to go back home. steve: we have been hearing about new drug that is people have not heard about so far during the coronavirus pandemic. one of them was regeneron which apparently they gave the president early on and then we heard that he's also being treated with some sort of a super steroid called dexamethasone which i read some comments by other doctors who said, you know, you only give that to the really sick people. dr. oz: well, dexamethasone is recommended now by the nih, by the world health organization, it is given and recommended if patients need oxygen and the president did need oxygen. usually given a little later in the course but i sent you an animation, if you send it it can be helpful. the virus, seeing virus particles, proteins, they are looking for areas and going to the president's nose a couple of days he tested positive, down to throats and into the lungs and set up shop and begin irritation, they relieve lots of virus which is exploding through here. that's the problem, that by itself doesn't hurt people as badly as what happens afterwards. when the virus is creating lots of area the immune system, white cells come in and attack and they start to fill up the lung and especially the alviola, purple little sacks with fluid and if you wait too long, you have lots of damage to the lung and what dexamethasone is stops it to its track. dexamethasone is a have you -- a very powerful one and it has been remarkable game-changer in the treatment of covid-19. in fact, one big takeaway message from the president's treatment and i've got the head of regeneron coming on the show, we have a lot of solutions, none of them are curious, coupled together we reduced mortality rate of the horrible virus and that's good news for everybody. ainsley: what did you think when you saw the president coming out and seeing the people, he was inside the cars, windows roland up and everybody had a mask on. we don't know if the secret service had been pokes ed before or if they had covid or there was a partition in between front seat and backseat. what did you think? they said appropriate precautions were taken. dr. oz: i've heard everything that you've said and i've spoken to physicians. some of us don't understand. we wouldn't have done that for a patient under our care because coming patient in icu or hospital bed where there's air being taken out of the room and you're able to keep social distancing, but there's many factors as you point out. brian: right, we will see how that goes. the other thing is could you tell us about the decision that went into that nonfda, the nonfda approved drug, regeneron that is for compassionate use, the decision to use that in days, what went into that, what were they hoping for? dr. oz: what regeneron does that and there's also plasma which we talked about in the show, fluid for people that are suffering, regeneron made a modern version, they picked a few antibodies specifically targeted against covid. here is the game plan, you want to go in there and knock out the virus that's overwhelming you so that your immune system can catch up. if you're going to use it, you should use it early which is what they did. interestingly there was a study in the past week with regeneron showing benefit when used in that setting. not enough data to approve it for the fda but enough that the physician taking care of the president thought it was reasonable to try with him. buys him time so his immune system can catch up. if that's not enough by itself you can then give remdesivir and prevents the virus from replicating in the cell. you can block it from getting into your cells and stop it are reproducing in your cells and if it's reproducing and causingen flammation you can knock it with dexamethasone. those are belt and suspenders, tackling the virus at every level where it can hurt us. tactics like that are how we are managing covid-19 in the country. we don't have access to regeneron yet but the family of medications will gain acceptance and in the meantime convalesence plasma, a big pioneer in it, it really does seem to matter which is why it's been around for decades. steve: we don't know whether or not the president will be released today and the presumption is that he will go to the white house, the worry is that he would be doing too much and might get exhausted and relapse or get worse again. but going forward for the next period of time, isn't the key just rest? dr. oz: you know, i'm a big advocate for sleep as i know you are, it matters, it's one of the challenges the white house are having to giving body time to recover. the key window is 5 to 10 days, there's always a chance and the medical staff taking care of the president is acutely aware of this that he could still have a relapse and we want to prevent that. and the second reality i might show today a test -- medical doctor, they are all saying the same thing. you have all the capability in the white house that you have at walter reed, so they'll be able to care for the president, that might not be true for the average person discharged from the hospital. it's not like he's just going home. he's going to the white house. steve: great show. brian: four great guest that is we just stumbled into. you did give us animation. steve: good. ainsley: thank you so much, dr. oz. dr. oz: thank you. ainsley: jillian has more headlines for us. jillian: myrtle beach escorting the body of officer fallen this morning, jacob was with the department for nearly 5 years, he was a volunteered firefighter. the department posting video of him smiling while listening to music in patrol car saying it perfectly shows his personality. shot and killed responding to a domestic violence call on saturday and another officer was hurt but will be okay. the suspect was killed. attorney general bill barr is self-quarantining out of precaution, barr tested negative on sunday, fourth negative result from friday. he could return to work as soon as friday. he attended the rose garden ceremony for supreme court nominee amy coney barrett with several people who have since tested positive. everyone at the event did test negative before attending. the international space station getting a big delivery overnight, the isf catching the cargo ship carrying nearly 8,000 pounds of scientific equipment and supplies, extended laboratory to the iss, look at that. lebron james facing criticism after he walked out of game 3 of the nba finals. james headed to locker room with 10 seconds to the clock, he later said he thought the game was over and frustrated over lakers 114-115. send it back to you. >> ainsley: are you allowed to do that?

>> i didn't know. i saw that the streets were locked down and i thought maybe the vice president is coming. there was no heads up. the president did this on his own. he loves people and loves to be with his supporters and show america that he's a fighter, he's strong and you can see from him being in the car he is recovering, he looked great, high energy as he always is, i'm excited for his recovery because he's going to beat joe biden and coronavirus all at the same time. brian: right, he must have recognized you, what's david bossie doing out there. you missed the president's drive-around but it was important for you to be there. describe what the scene is like across from walter reed? >> it was amazing, there was so much emergency, so many people came out to support him from all walks of life, just beautiful. brian: what about when you heard that the president came by, what are your thoughts? >> i wanted to get down there, the streets were closed, we were trying to get by and we had to walk quite a distance to get there, but just amazing. i love this president. he's done so much for the latino community. brian: david, you said that you got there and you wanted to thank the 100 or so people, then what happened? >> well, people just kept coming and coming and i will tell you, we both lydia and i both live in montgomery county. i just met lydia at the rally last night but we both were there and remarking to each other we've seen seen anything like this. people driving up and down the streets, honking their horns, waving american flags, waving trump flags, the energy was just palpable, it was truly -- the president couldn't go to a rally so the rally came to him. i've been to hundreds of these rallies with the president and it was exactly like that and it was great to see because with all the negativity, having all of this love, this outpouring of love and support for this president it was just a refreshing thing to see and i know that it affected him because he wanted to come outside and that's what he did, he shocked the world by doing that. brian: are you going back? >> absolutely. brian: you'll be there today. the president could get out as early as today. we will see david: bossie, bust luck with your book and lydia great to meet you. why our next guest says why this debate matters more than before and it was in bold in prompter so it has to be. hey, our worker's comp insurance is expiring. should i just renew it?

i remember back -- we showed a clip a little while ago of lloyd benson and dan quayle and lloyd benson hands down won the debate but dan quayle and george bush still won. >> that's right, 40 states, landslide for sure. the presidential debate have not had a whole lot of impact on the outcome of election. i think this year it's a little different given the age of top of the ticket folks and coronavirus issue that the president is dealing with right now. it's heightened the stakes of this particular debate. everyone is kind of looking to what do the number 2, heart beat away from the presidency candidates really have to say, what do they really believe and how do they think and impact future administration. steve: i mentioned at the beginning that you were the chief of staff for senator mike lee who we now know he's one of 3 republican senators including ron johnson and thom tillis who have tested positively for coronavirus. have you heard how he's doing because a lot of people are worried about him? >> yes, senator lee is doing well. he's experiencing most of the typical symptoms that come with the coronavirus and i think probably the -- the interesting thing for everyone to keep in mind is you look at this crazy realm of the coronavirus and is that it is uneven, it isn't one of those where you get sick and then you start getting better and better. it's much more like a roller coaster and comes in waves and he's experiencing all of that and i know he has his eye towards the hearings that will happen in the judiciary committee relating to the confirmation process of amy coney barrett coming up. steve: that's interesting because democrats are saying because of coronavirus, because senator lee has got it and others as well, just not safe, but you have to wonder if you have 3 republican senators with coronavirus, ultimately if they still were out of the senate, they would not have a majority to push her through. >> yeah, that's right. so ultimately, remember, you can do the hearings, you can do that remote, they've have proven in the senate but the senate does still have the rule to cast a vote you have to be on the floor of the senate, the real thing to watch over time will really be can everyone actually show up on the day of that confirmation vote. steve: what is your prediction about the tone and tenure of that? >> i think the democrats have to be careful about the hearings. if they turn that into a 3-ring focus and focus on things that were swinging wildly. remember, many voters in 2016 that voted for president trump solely on the basis of the supreme court. some of those voters have gotten a little tired and exhausted and withdrawn, they may not even vote this round or some have drifted to the biden camp. if the democrats swing wildly at amy coney barrett, they actually could be the ones that awaken those that gave president trump the election in 2016 and may reawaken them to another victory in 2020. steve: all right, interesting stuff. we will be looking for that. boyd, thank you for joining us from salt lake city. white house chief of staff mark meadows optimistic that president trump will be discharged from walter reed later today. he will join us live from walter reed with the very latest, but first thank you from my wife kathy and i for making our cook book number 1 this week, to celebrate you're invite today virtual cook off live from our kitchen 4:00 o'clock, it's free, register. everybody else your books at amazon and target, booksmillion.com. look at that, for a limited time if you sign up for fox nation, you'll get the book for free. ♪ ♪ steve: and thank you. if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that?

what time would he be leaving and do you think he should be leaving? mark: well that determination has not been made yet. obviously he continues to improve overnight and his health continues to improve. the doctors will actually have an evaluation some time late morning and then the president in consultation with the doctors will make a decision on whether to discharge him later today. we are still optimistic that based on his unbelievable progress and -- and how strong he has been in terms of his fight against this covid-19 disease, that he will be released, but that decision won't be made until later today. brian: so i heard you in judge jeanine and got remarks on friday. you sound more like a friend that's concerned about his friend rather than chief of staff that's concerned about the president because understand it but the word came out that when you gave off the record remarks that got on the record, that the president was furious at you, could you tell us if that was true? mark: listen, the president and i -- i don't know where anybody is getting the furious part with because the president and i have been together for the last 72 hours or more. we continue to work on behalf of the american people and so that's -- that's just -- i don't use the word fake news as much but i can tell you that's not coming from walter reed or anything here. listen, i think it's important that we are clear about the risks that the president had and -- and there was some real concern friday morning, the doctor and i talking friday morning, there was real concern that helped us make the decision to come to walter reed. that being said, he improved very quickly, the treatment has been outstanding, he continues to applaud the work of the doctors and nurses and medical professionals here. i think the biggest key that we have for all of america is that this president just like he just said is -- is really not only understanding what millions of americans have had to face as they've come in contact with this disease, but more importantly, the fact that we need to continue to work on therapeutics. his treatment has been remarkable. his strength is incredible and his fight for the american people, you know, he was talking to me this morning. we need to work on behalf of second amendment fight, protect religious liberties, continue to fight for the values that americans hold dear and whether it's late at night or early in the morning, he's consistent with making sure that he's fighting on their behalf and so i'm -- i'm just thankful for so many people, the people that are tuned in right now, millions of americans that have -- and people have across the world that have been wishing him well and praying for him. he obviously expressed that appreciation to some of the people outside of walter reed yesterday, and -- and even with that, was getting criticism. here is the interesting thing, well, criticizing he put secret service agents at risk, how do we think that we got here? we came here in marine 1, the secret service agent that is with him has been with him, he's been with him in cars and yet we took additional precautions with ppe and others to make sure that they were protected, but, you know, a number of folks are trying to just make -- make a big deal of that when, indeed, i know that myself and -- and some of the secret service detailees are right there with him trying to make sure he's protected each and every day and he returns to the white house as expeditiously as possible. steve: right. a lot of people, mark, just want to make sure that he doesn't leave the hospital too soon because they don't want to see him go back to the hospital and we do understand that the white house has got a medical suite and he can absolutely be taken care of there. can you explain -- speaking of suites, can you explain the presidential suite there at walter reed because you were talking a little bit about how the president, you know, got up early, you guys were already working. is he in one room by himself, are you in another room, is plexy glass, how many people are wearing masks, how do you interface with him, are you yelling through the door or what? >> well, that's a good question, no, we are not yelling through the door. we actually have a protocol, we get tested every morning, we have n95 masks. steve: are you all in a big conference table? >> well, so we actually have an area that actually we check people in and out to make sure that they have proper ppe as they go in. he has a situation room there. as has been reported actually yesterday, he was on the phone with secretary esper and secretary pompeo, the vice president, national security adviser robert o'brien and chairman milley as we talked about issues across the globe, in terms of national security issues, so he was conducting business are from that situation room, so there's several different rooms there, but it's mainly so that he can continue conduct the business on behalf of the american people and -- and so as we go in and out, those are normally doctors and -- and nurses, his secret service detail and myself, a few others that actually go in to that area, but it's -- you know, we monitor how long people are in and -- >> steve: sounds like you guys -- >> everybody has masks. steve: sounds like you guys are suited up. essentially you look like you're from nasa than the white house? mark: no, i wouldn't suggest that we are suited, we are wearing n95 masks. it's not -- it's not that you're actually going in a hat mask suit. i want people to understand that actually -- those would be more for medical professionals that are there working very, very closely with him, but, you know, i'm in a suit, i go in with a mask and we have eye protection as well and -- but we are close to him, we continue to engage in his room in the working environment as well. ainsley: how do you explain that to your family? i'm sure they are worried. it's something that you sacrificed just like the secret service that have taken to protect and commit? mark: my family does get worried but i can tell you, this is a message to our military men and women. i'm not having -- i may put myself at risk because of this virus but just like the president talked about, he's going to defeat this virus and i am not having to put myself in harm's way with -- with bullets and -- and really just the enemy coming after me each and every day. this is an enemy that we will defeat and we will do that together but those are the risks that are associated with this job. brian: two game plans you need. you need the trump reelection campaign has to figure out a way to get him reelected without him. number 2 is you have to figure out a way to keep the economy going and american people's needs met and one thing is we need another rescue plan, another stimulus package. the democrats think they have it. you sat in on the negotiations, word is you were fed up because you didn't really feel the democrats were being sincere. where are we at now? could there be a new sense of urgency for democrats and republicans and could you tell us if we should be optimistic today? mark: well, do i think that there's the potential for a deal as long as politics do not get in the way again. i can tell you that secretary mnuchin and speaker pelosi have been talking. the secretary and i have been in constant contact even while we are here to try to make sure that we can find a way to move forward, but even -- even if a large comprehensive bill is not possible because of a few things that are out there and there's still major differences, let's go ahead and pass a number of the things that we can agree upon and -- and hopefully we can -- brian: she won't do that. you know the speaker won't do that. >> well, she doesn't want to do that but i think at this point it's incumbent upon all americans to -- to put pressure on congress to say it's time to come to the table. the president has come up over and over and over again, compromised on a number of issues, leader mcconnell and i had a discussion a day before yesterday about this particular issue. it's time that we do that and yet there are a lot of people that continue to hurt, are waiting on stimulus and the president is committed to getting a deal done but he wants to make sure that we -- we move expeditiously but also in a fiscally responsible manner. ainsley: so many are praying and worried about him so we wanted an update. appreciate it. brian: can you tell us what time you'll know today of his release? mark: brian, i don't know the exact time right now. i would think that it's going to be at the earliest this afternoon just based on my conversations with the doctors this morning. we have, you know, further evaluations and consultations that have to take place between the president and his medical team, but, you know, a big thank you from the president to all of the people that are wishing him so well, he's appreciative of their warmth-well wishes. ainsley: okay, thank you, chief. we have more "fox & friends" coming up. mark: thank you. ok, just keep coloring there... and sweetie can you just be... gentle with the pens. okey. okey. i know. gentle..gentle new projects means new project managers. 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 so you can start hiring right away. claim your seventy five dollar credit, when you post your first job at indeed.com/home. sandra: good monday morning, president trump could go home as soon as today if medical staff give him the green light, live update in moments. as president trump recovers from the virus joe biden is hitting the campaign trail. he heads to miami today to court hispanic voters and he now leads the president in the sunshine state by 2 points. we will take the touch screen for a spin on that. and 29 days to go, how will the president change his messaging following this diagnosis? the trump campaign is here to respond. join us live from america's newsroom as we begin a brand-new week, see you at the top of the hour. ainsley: michigan supreme court striking down governor gretchen whitmer's emergency orders. the governor hitting back saying the courts are combating efforts to fight virus. >> puts us in the same states in the nation to save lives, we've saved thousands of lives and supreme court in slim majority republican volt undermine that effort and i remain very concern. ainsley: here with me now is dr. randal baker, surgeon at grand health partners, one of the plaintiffs and patrick wright, attorney and director of legal foundation which brought the lawsuit against governor whitmer, thank you both of you for being with us. >> thank you. ainsley: dr. baker, how are you feeling and why this lawsuit? doctor: great, we are ecstatic, this is great day for people of michigan. we were told that we couldn't help patients and do not preventive care and only emergency care and as a result of that a lot of people got hurt and what the governor said is just plain not true. first of all, the supreme court ruled unanimously that what she did was illegal. the second decision that the supreme court made was the 4 to 3 decision but what frustrates me is i wish the governor would roll up the sleeves and start to working with the legislature instead of bath-mouthing supreme court. this is not the time for this. we need to help patients and we need to stop the draconian lockdowns. ainsley: patrick, what made it illegal? >> declaring emergency after april 30th, in michigan we've had an opportunity where the governor and the legislature have enacted important legislation related to covid and we are hopeful that now that the supreme court says that they have to work together that the governor and the legislature will help us fight this important battle against covid. ainsley: dr. baker, what happens now? doctor: well, what i hope happens is that the legislature and the governor will get together and start to work together on how to do this. this is not a decision between the safety of covid care and noncovid care and harm. the ability is we can do covid care and noncovid care at the same time. we can do this. science involves measurement and adjusting based on the results, not just doubling down on the original hypothesis and when this first started, we didn't know but very quickly we started to realize that the lockdowns were having unintended consequences, you had to then shift and had to go adjust. good intentions must ultimately be evaluated by results and consequences. ainsley: thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. ainsley: you're welcome, we have more "fox & friends" moments away. bring outdoor grilling flavors indoors with the grill that grills for you. >> i hope you're not tired of me. i have three more hours on the radio. i'm joined by marco rubio and others. if you want to see what i look like watch on fox nation. >> or watch this show. we have three hours with you a day. >> go support steve doocy and buy his cookbook. see you tomorrow. >> so long, everybody. [cheering and applause] >> sandra: that was last evening president trump greeted with cheers as he took a motorcade drive to thank supporters outside walter reed medical center. the president could be back in the white house as soon as today according to doctors if his condition continues to improve. we're watching all of it. trace, nice to see you as we start a new week. i'm sandra smith. >> trace: i'm trace gallagher. over the past few days at least 11 people in the president's inner circle have tested positive for covid-19. white house doctors said president trump is improving despite
