The new york newsroom. Blake, we start with you with the latest from the president. Reporter the latest is about an hour away, connell. Were set to hear once again from President Trump, he will be once again bringing back the coronavirus briefings for the first time in many, many weeks. The brief from the white house is they say that the president will be talking about medical advances and the look ahead. That is why they say these are coming back. However when you hear from the top democrat in the senate, there is much different story as Chuck Schumer said today, these briefings shouldnt happen at all. These are going to be short briefings of the president mainly delivering information to the American People that is needed on therapeutics and vaccines. President trump should not take the podium. Every time President Trump takes the podium at one of these briefings he is a threat to public health. Reporter up on the hill earlier today Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell outlined republicans priorities for a phase four relief measure. To give you some top lines they are as follows. 105 billion to reopen schools safely. More ppp loans for businesses and direct payments for individuals and families. Reimbursing companies for personal protective equipment and testing costs. Tax incentives to hire workers and mcconnells red line, business liability protection. The american job market needs another shot of adrenaline. Not republicans are laser focused on getting American Workers their jobs back. In addition to kids and jobs, our third major focus is health care. The reason is obvious. If we lose control of the virus or if research stalls, then Everything Else will be windowdressing. Port been a business by day up on the hill because treasury secretary steve mnuchin, white house chief of staff, mark meadows, White House Team negotiating for phase four set to meet over the last 45 minutes or so with Chuck Schumer and nancy pelosi about a way forward. Earlier in the day meadows and mnuchin also met with republican senators to sort of hear things out as to where they want to see things go even though mcconnell outlined what he wants to see in the bill. Perhaps a bit of consternation in the room. Here is what meadows, chief of staff said, i think more senators talking, expressing frustrations with perhaps where things are. Clearly talking things out up on capitol hill. Back to you. Connell blake more on that now as we go to capitol hill, welcome in our friend chad pergram, fox news congressional correspondent. Picking up, chad, where blake left off. What are the biggest hurdles getting the next stimulus bill through. Reporter cost is going to be a major problem. There is a lot of skepticism about spending a lot of money on another bill here on the republican side of the aisle. That will be a, number one issue for many republicans. That is why theyre trying to cap this at about a trillion dollars here. Listen from rand paul, republican senator from kentucky. I find it extraordinary that i just came from a Republican Caucus meeting that could be sort of the bernie bros, progressive caucus. Gone up 3 trillion in the last couple months. Adding another trillion dollars is the most physically irresponsible thing i have ever heard of. Reporter Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell is aiming for a bill that costs one trillion but a payroll tax cut could explode the deficit anywhere from 600 billion to a trillion dollars on top of the trillion or more which they spend on the bill. All depend how long they would suspend the payroll tax cut and there are only 10 Senate Republicans who are for the payroll tax cut this is why Mitch Mcconnell says democrats hold some of the card. That is starting place for discussion with the democrats. They have the ability to prevent us from passing anything. I think it is pretty clear they are not irrelevant. We do have to talk to them. Reporter this is why we always say there is an old saying here on capitol hill, its about the the math, its aboutth math, its about the math. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell can only lose four republicans on his side of the aisle before he needs help from democrats, connell. Connell it is always close, especially something as contentious as this type of a bill, chad. Normal people want to know at the end of the day, karn they get it done. So can they get this bill through . Mark meadows, the white house chief of staff said something prescient going into the Speakers Office a few minutes ago, he indicated Unemployment Insurance is due to expire at the end of july. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi indicated she want as bill done by the end of next week. That is the deadline theyre aiming for next year. They have to work out a lot of stuff. Do they extend that . How much do they extend it by . Do they decide on another round of direct payments. I talked to a Senior Administration source yesterday, they have to get this done. They will get this done. A lot of votes will come from the democratic side of the aisle. Keep in mind house Speaker Nancy Pelosi has a very good relationship, really good working relationship with mnuchin. They worked out the phase three bill that cost 3 trillion. That passed the senate 960, but dont look for any movement on this until the end of next week as the source says to me. It always comes together at the 11th hour. There might be 11 other hours on the clock, connell, but only the 11th hours matters and that comes at the end of next week. Connell that is the way they operate there. They always run it up to the end. To me, looking at these enhanced unemployment benefits, the extra 600 a week you mentioned been in peoples checks that are out of work, how dug in from what you can gather are republicans on that . We understand, weve spoken to so many of them they dont want to disincentivize work. Many are opposed to an extension, but what about a compromise there . Is there middle ground from what you can tell . Reporter absolutely. There will be discuss. Depends on which side of the july the deal is actually cut. Bill cassidy, republican senator from louisiana, he was saying after the last jobs report, maybe we dont have to look at another round of direct payments if the jobs report is good. If this negotiation bleeds into august which is very possible, they get a bad jobs report, you can see republicans might run to the door, hey, we have to have the extra Unemployment Insurance in there. Keep in mind these vulnerable republican senators from the swing states, joni ernst from iowa, Susan Collins from maine, thom tillis of north carolina, they will be looking at this very closely to see how this impacts their reelection chances later this fall. Connell that is how it always plays especially a year like this. Great stuff as always. He is all over it. Chad pergram on capitol hill. Melissa. Melissa promising results on a vaccine. Executive of pharmaceutical firms updating members of Congress Today on their progress towards finding an effective truck for covid19. Edward lawrence is in washington with the details. Edward . Reporter melissa, the market or at least the dow is up on the positive news here. We have the First Company coming forward with a vaccine by october if everything goes well. Astrazeneca says it will have 300 million doses of a vaccine, sourced, made, ready to be distributed in the u. S. As of october if everything goes well. Moderna, pfizer hope to have a vaccine by end of 2020. The head of moderna, they will have hundreds of millions of doses. Pfizer says they will have 100 million doses this year. Novavax was not in the hearing but has a contract for 100 million doses of the vaccine by the end of this year. Johnson johnson says it will be ready in march of 2021 with 300 million doses. Merck to have a 300 billion doses in 2021. All say that the vaccine will be safe and effective. The fda is not loosening any standards. So business as usual, whatever portfolios or dossiers we bring to the fda have to meet these rigorous standards. Reporter and the Administration Says anyone who want as vaccine will be able to get a vaccine when its ready. They are working out the costs. Astrazeneca, moderna and Johnson Johnson say the vaccine will be offered at cost or notforprofit price. Now pfizer and merck both say they will sell the vaccine for a profit. Pfizers chief Business Officer says they will not accept government money and their product will be from the u. S. None of the materials, none of the drug substance will involve any part of the china supply chain. So we anticipate for our vaccine candidate well supply chain within the pfizer name dedicated to the united states. Reporter and all of the Companies Say that, except Johnson Johnson, that the materials for the vaccine itself will come from the u. S. Johnson johnson saying it will come from other places. The executives in the hearing only the head of astrazeneca says that his kids would actually go back to school in the United Kingdom in september. The other executives say theyre having a conversation among their family to figure out if they want to put their kid back in school in september. Very interesting coming out of this debate. Back to you. Melissa edward, thank you for that. Connell. Connell all right, taking a stand. Apple announcing it will be 100 Carbon Neutral across its entire business, its supply chain and its products by the year 2030. Susan li live in our newsroom in new york with more on this. Susan. Reporter pretty ambitious from americas biggest country. They want net zero Climate Impact for all devices in 10 years time, 2030. If you think about it, that is a big deal for a company that sells 200 million iphones every year. Think of millions of ipads, airpods, Mac Computers and beats headphones they ship each and every year. They have a long plan. This is the road map to get there in a decades time. This also includes thousands of suppliers. Also part of the initiative is this Accelerator Fund which will invest in minority owned businesses as part of the 100 milliondollar racial equality fund. I spoke to apple, one much their top africanamerican executives, lisa jackson, her view combining these two very important initiatives. Climate change and Climate Justice is very much about social justice. Environmental issues have always unfortunately impacted poor communities, black and brown communities more than others. So we saw this as a way, could have just in this moment to say, what if we also look to bring that apple business know how. Reporter we know that apple pledged to invest 100 million in the racial equality fund. Also increasing at blackowned suppliers. Expanding education for black developers and hiring and promoting within. Apple says we can also do our part getting to Carbon Neutral by 2030. Drop off, trade in the old iphones. Not only is it good for the environment. But you also get a few hundred bucks off on the new i phone as well so doing your part. Guys . Thanks, susan li. Melissa. Melissa all right.

Melissa democratic presumptive nominee joe biden unveiling a third piece of his build back better Recovery Plan that will cost 775 billion to Fund Education and care giving. Here is what he said just moments ago. If we truly want to reward work in this country, we have to ease the financial burden of care that families are carrying. We have to elevate the compensation of those providing the care, the benefits, and dignity of care giving workers and Early Childhood educators. Melissa here now is mercedes schlapp, trump 2020 Campaign Senior advisor. So, mercedes, the thought behind that he says he is going to give money foreuniversal preschool, for child care and for inhome health care or elder care. Whether you are a parent or have parents, pretty much everybody, he is going to give you money. How do you battle back against that message . Well, because the reality is that the only way he is going to be able to pay for these big spending ideas is by raising taxes and so we know, as you know, melissa, you understand clearly, what the detrimental effects that higher taxes means to an economy is the fact that it will take away from, you know, the middle class. We know one of the things that joe biden has said from the beginning that hess first step will be to roll back President Trumps tax cuts. I know he is, you know, right now when you have seen in the last three weeks, between his clean energy initiative, between his economic plan, now his new announcement today, youre talking about 3. 4 trillion in terms of expense. Then of course, adding government and bureaucracy to this process which we know is incredibly inefficient. Melissa but you know democrats never think that theyre going to be the ones that pay for these plans. They always say it is going to be the rich and it is going to be companies as if companies are inanimate objects f you go out on the street, ask potential voters they think netnet, they will end up more money, and someone else will pay the taxes, they will get the benefit. Forcing everybody to do math, people dont like math, sadly, how do you get the point youre going to be not richer but poorer because democrats are successful in the past . Theyre is no question. I got to ask you if you liked math or not in high school. I do. But youre, youre right about that. I think that the equation doesnt add up, right . Its very clear that biden is doing what he can to push forward these big, spending packages that we know someone is going to have to pay for. One of the things, you know, when you look at Small Businesses as being an example, theyre the ones that with be impacted by this. Whenever you start raising taxes on our Small Business employers and then they get to a point they cant hire more staff, you know, then they, then you dont see wage increases. I mean there are so, it really is a domino, negative domino effect in terms of our economy when all the democrats are proposing are these high dollar spending packages that we cannot afford, especially right now, we cant even afford it, the reality weve got to get our economy strong again. The only way to do that is to insure we have the fundamentals strong which means, keeping our taxes low, eliminating our jobkilling regulations which President Trumps ha focused on and insuring that we have free and strong trade deals which President Trump focused on as well. There is a way to do this where you can work with the American People to help provide relief in terms of child care and, but at the most important thing right now is assuring americans can get back to work, that is something joe biden basically says we cant even open up our economy because of covid. Melissa i want to ask you about the june fundraising totals because they came in. I think we have them, put them up on the screen. Joe biden and dnc 141 million. Trump and the rnc, 131 million. I imagine both campaigns have more money they know what to do with. These are big numbers. Does it tell you there is more enthusiasm against President Trump on the other side that you see so much money going into joe bidens coffers . Absolutely not. Because what were seeing is high dollar donors that are contributing to joe biden. That is in contrast with our very strong Small Dollar Program that we see with President Trump. And really, part, you see this bump happen on the democrat side because of this joint agreement with the dnc where theyre able to take individual money of up to 600,000. We are not concerned about this we have plenty of cash on hand, more than joe biden. We have been fundraising, building out infrastructure for the past 3 1 2 years and so our ground game is strong. We are in a solid position as opposed to joe biden who is still trying to hire some of his state directors and think he sometimes more focused on his Transition Team than he is on his own, his own campaign infrastructure. So were in a very strong position. The enthusiasm is clearly on our side. Melissa mercedes schlapp, it is always wonderful to see you. Thank you for coming on. Connell, over to you. Connell well, while you guys were talking, melissa, we have results coming in from United Airlines which lost a lot of money last quarter which is obviously expected in this environment and boy, that was 9. 31 on adjusted basis. It was expected to lose 9. 02. Revenue was slightly better than forecast. The case united is making we know things are bad but our financial position is improving and will continue to get better. For example, it now says it expects the liquidity at the end of the Current Quarter up to 18 billion t was 15. 2 billion as of yesterday. There are a few other metrics it cites to bounce back but tough times as we would expect from a big airline like united. In a moment the u. S. Postal Service Feeling the strain as well. How that agency is handling budget cuts ahead of an election that may rely heavily on mailin voting. Plus overlooking college, some students are deciding to skip another four years of schooling by going in a different direction.

Click or call for a quote today. Melissa so the u. S. Postal service on the brink. A new report is highlighting issues the agency is facing amid budget cuts and operational changes in the middle of a push for mailin ballots. Hillary vaughn in or link ton, virginia, with details. Reporter hi, melissa. A surge in mailin voting in new york states voting primary triggered chaos. Here is what happened t all started after a federal lawsuit claims that Governor Cuomo signed an order meant to make mailin voting easier. This is what the lawsuit says is causing this problem because, cuomo gave voters a prepaid envelope to send back their ballot in new yorks primary but the post office normally does not postmark prepaid mail. So they were thrown off and many ballots did not get stamped with a date. There is no way to know if thousands of ballots, that still need to be counted in one congressional race in new yorks district 12 should be counted because they dont know if they have been received by election day. The white house says, a situation like this is exactly what theyre worried about happening in november. So for a month they have been collecting ballots with no postmark date. In fact what they found is 19 of ballots have been rejected in queens, 28 rejected in brooklyn. There are questions about mail, mass mailout voting. Reporter right now the u. S. Post office is making major changes to deal with their 160 billiondollar debt, that mail carriers say will actually slow down the delivery of mail and could have a big impact on voters. Anytime the mail slows down it is harder for the postal workers to serve the customers, whether it is a mail ballot or anything else. So, again, were just absolutely opposed to any effort to slow down mail, to delay mail, and that includes obviously for the ballots as well. Reporter but the new postmaster general says these changes are necessary for their survival saying they need to cut 200 million from their transportation budget by cutting down on extra trips and also making sure that every trip leaves on time, which means, mail carriers may have to leave mail behind at Distribution Centers. In a memo from the usps to their workers we obtained they say some mail carriers may have to leave mail in Distribution Centers in order to get out on the deliveries on time, saying quote, one aspect of these changes may be difficult for employees, temporarily we may see mail left behind or mail on the work room floor or docks. Usps says the financial status will not affect the status of voters ballots if they choose to vote by mail in november. But one point they do make, melissa, because mail delivery is slow right now, voters have to request a ballot at least 15 days before election day in november in order to make sure they get that ballot delivered to their mailbox in time to vote. Melissa . Melissa the fact that they did not anticipate that problem with the prepaid envelopes on the ballots in new york is so classic and so stupid, i cant even believe it. Hillary, thank you for bringing that to us. Connell. Unbelievable. Connell it is postponing the biggest sale of the year. Amazon officially delaying its annual prime day in the event in the u. S. , typically held in midjuly. But they delayed it due to safety concerns over the pandemic. The company did not specify a new date for the Global Shopping event but assured customers it would happen at some point later this year. Melissa. Melissa all right. Restaurants fighting back.

Joining us from sylvias restaurant in harlem, new york, is triness black. For those who dont know, sylvias is iconic restaurant that has been around since the 60s. Whether you come from out of town want authentic experience in harlem and live in the neighborhood, you want what is most delicious, people glock to the neighborhood. We dont live far from harlem ourself. We have been to your place. It is phenomenal. Breaks my heart it is difficult for you. It is a journey from the pandemic to then. From the protests and riots. Yes. Melissa people wanted to support black owned businesses because of george floyd. Where are you now, and what has that journey been like . The journey has been a rollercoaster. The one thing i will say is that we were very determined to keep that marquee lit on lennox avenue. Were celebrating our 58th anniversary on august 1st, so it is really important for our lights to stay on. Its a sign everything will be okay, harlem. Were a village. Were in this together. We will get through this. Melissa yeah. You know they say one of the things, was when the rest of the country burns a lot of the black communities like harlem, bleeds, im sorry, the rest of the communities like harlem really hemorrhage. That it hits you even harder of the has that been the case. It totally has been the case. My father came up with that term when we were trying to put into words what we were experiencing. Sylvias restaurant like most Small Businesses are the backbone of the community. Were the ones that give the first jobs and sometimes the last jobs and for us to have to lay off the majority of 117 employees, with very, very tough for us. Melissa wow. We knew that we wanted to keep going. So we had to quickly pivot to online and delivery and takeout platform, which was hard for a lot of our regular customers because people literally have been eating with us every single day. So we still have some of them that come out every single day to get takeout to have some sense of normalcy. Yeah. 117 employees, that is a lot of people. Im surprised. That is a huge number. I know you got some ppp funds. Are you able to bring some of them back . Where are you now . This is where were at now. Were in the process of bringing back a lot of folks but it was really hard to have people leave the comfort of their home and you know, collecting unemployment to say that im going to venture out. We have a lot of multigenerational staff. When i say that that they have multigenerational elderly people in their family or younger children in their family. Child care was an issue. The risk of catching covid and transit was an issue. Right now were about 50 which is definitely up from where we were at and i definitely attribute that to a light being shined brightly on harlem. Were the mecca of black culture and beyonce gave us a muchneeded boost in the arm when she put out her black parade list that had her favorite businesses. We were happying to one of them. So we did notice a big uptick in tales when that happened and various other sites. But right now, you know, melissa, were focused on our 58th anniversary. Well have the Community Breakfast and it will be social distancing and with grits and biscuits free for the Community Day before. Melissa wow. Were teaming up with a Great Organization in harlem called harlem parade to do a little extra something to highlights artists in harlem and really giving the businesses a further platform so they can just gain exposure and send out, you know, muchneeded sos. Shop here, play here. Melissa i know amid all of this you are still giving back to the community. You have a food pantry. You have folks coming in and theyre dialing up those elderly who may be shut in to see if they can help them.

Reuters just reporting that house Speaker Nancy Pelosi says, the one trillion dollar price tag on the republican aid proposal for the pandemic will not be sufficient to do what is needed for the economy and americans health. Of course not. A trillion dollars, that is garbage. Thats nothing. That is no money. Connell, you have a trillion dollars, dont you . Just laying around . Connell in my back pocket right now. Exactly. Which actually plays into our next story saying more is not always bigger or bigger is not always better . Tiny home sales have been booming, believe it or not. What is happening is, a lot of people are adding office space to their backyards with so many people working from home. Grady trimble with the story. He joins us live. Grady . Reporter cornell you dont need a trillion dollars for one of these. This is a full size tiny home, about 350 square feet. That will cost you about 85,000. When you think of tiny homes, you dont think of expanding, but that is what this company is using these smaller tie tiny homes. Theyre expanding the backyard empires. Look at this one, it has a bed, a toilet, and it is like a pool house. You can plop it down in your backyard. The other option they have been focusing on im with bob, the ceo of bantam built, is the tiny office. Mike, show that as well. Tell us about this. I hadnt thought about this. You plop it right in your backyard. Yeah, absolutely, people working from home, they dont like working from home but they dont like working with everybody else also at home right now. So this whole idea came about with us combining the five years of experience that we have with custom spaces that are small and bringing them to peoples backyards. Reporter and its pretty simple. It is 96 square feet, all you need is a shed permit. It is good to go. You have a desk and tv in this one. It is pretty much all you would need. It is really the solution i think in a time where people have a lot of uncertainty. So we want to bring a comfortable space for people to work from home. Reporter here you go, connell, i will step in, get to work now since i have been having fun out at the tiny houses all day. 8500 for one of these. It is a lot cheaper than renovating a house. Especially if you dont have a spare bedroom. Get a 75dollar shed permit for your backyard. Put one of these things up, with office or tv. Could be a man cave too. Connell put your feet up on the desk. You look comfortable, grady. Ceo says they love working from home. They just dont want to be near the people. Looking good, grady. Melissa i love it. No degree, no problem. These industries offer great opportunity for those considering skipping college to get right to work. Fox businesss gerri willis has all the details. Gerri . Reporter hey, melissa, thats right. So with the price of college skyhigh, and many of these institutions now saying that all learning will be virtual, well, many, Many High School seniors are saying hey, i dont need this. I may skip higher ed all together. The prospects for employment, theyre better than you might think according to joanie courtney, chief market analyst at employ bridge. Listen. The good news is, there are tremendous amount of opportunities for people that do not have a college degree. Not only in the traditional trades jobs like construction, and elect call workers, plumbing carpentry, but you also see it in health care. Reporter and in sales she says. In fact there are many jobs that dont require a degree that pay six figures. You heard a lot about logistics, transportation and distribution managers are paid 103,000 on average every year. Commercial pilots, police supervisors. Some of these jobs require more training but not a degree. John horowitz says he never regretting getting his ged and starting a business. At just 19 he is already running a successful small bakery in santa monica, california. Listen. So i think the best thing, the thing that i found is just something that i love to do, i can do every day, and i can get really good at, and i found that in high school. I just decided im just going to pursue it. Reporter and of course he is not the only one. Think about it, you know, if College Grads make 30,000dollars more a year compared to people who dont get the degree, what are they spending for . 400 bucks a month on average to pay off that debt. Think about that. Back to you. Melissa no, it is so true. I know so many people who have the debt, dont feel like the benefit. The job they have is nothing to do with the degree and they dont need it for it. Gerri, that makes so much sense. Connell.

Connell back to the podium. Any minute now, President Trump will reare assume what had been regular coronavirus briefings after nearly a threemonthlong hiatus from those briefings. Before the president starts speaking, lets talk to brad blakeman, former Deputy Assistant to president george w. Bush. I think its fair to say that these briefings did not end well last time, at least politically for the president. Good idea to wring them back . Absolutely. I think the briefings should be held every day until such time as theyre no longer needed and covid has been defeated. Once a vaccine is had and theres no reason to have these briefings, then they should end but not until. Connell all right. They ended the last time though when the president they went on for a long, long time. You know, there were statements made that were hardly disciplined, the president talking about injecting disinfectants at one point, that was right before they ended. Whats the key this time . I talked to, i talked yesterday about it a little bit with karl rove, and his point was, well, the president should come out, get his point out and not really take questions, leave that to other people. But i believe he is going to take questions. What about the execution . Yep. Well, the execution should be, as karl said, factual, brief, to the point and then move on to other subjects. The American People understand there are probably three main things that concern their lives today. One covid, two is the economy, and three is social unthat theyre seeing around the unrest that theyre seeing around the country, haw and order. So the president needs to lead on covid, loo lead factually and give people information they need that they dont have or they need to be reminded of. Connell from what i read on twitter, which can be dangerous over the last 20 minutes dr. Faucis not going to be there, he could easily walk through the door, but if hes not, what do you make of that . I dont make anything of it. The president is the communicator in chief. He is leading us through this crisis. You know, the prior briefings have devolve ised into celebrity and personality. Thats got to end. These doctors are neither celebrities nor are they necessarily politicians. They shouldnt be. Theyre experts. And the president takes their counsel, and then he delivers the information as needed to the American People. Connell well talk a little bit about that information in a minute as long as we have time and the president doesnt come out. One more political point. We were talking about former Vice President joe biden earlier in the show and kind of the narrative about bidens campaign is that hes been sitting back in the base withment, hasnt come out, all that kind of thing. He did make a speech today. Made a number of speeches, hasnt taken questions from reporters for the most part, one or two exceptions. But the point is hes been trying to let President Trump beat himself. And if you read the polls, thats been working so far. So, again, coming out like this if youre the president , do you add to that risk . Look, theres risk i cant think of any world leader whos ever been appreciated in their time. Its only time through history when you take full stock. Leadership requires making tough decisions and being ad leader. Joe biden chooses to stay in his basement. You can run for president , but you cant hide from the American People. And you cant be against the president and not stand for anything yourself. Joe biden cannot get the credit for anything the president has done, and every time he has come out of the basement, its been to be critical and not offer any positive policy that would be better than what the president is delivering on. Connell so what would you focus on in terms of substance here . The numbers, obviously, places like texas and florida and others have been very tough over the last few weeks. So if youre the president and youre taking back control of the message, what message would you focus on getting out . The message should be what the president started with when corona hit our country, and that is we will spare no expense, we are moving heaven and earth in making sure that this virus is contained and that eventually there will be not only a treatment, but a vaccine in order to end this pandemic. And as weve seen in california, new york and other places, democratic administrations when Governor Cuomo asks for anything whether its a hospital ship or hospitals in central park, the answer from this president has been yes. Connell right. The president s got to say connell brad, we have to go because its almost time for the president. Good to see you, as always. Brad blakeman. Melissa and i will see you back here at the same time, but right now as we get set for the briefing, it is time for lou dobbs tonight. Have a great night. Everybody. Lou good evening, everybody. President trump this hour is expected to make his return to the white house Briefing Room to resume the daily updates on the china virus pandemic and the response of local and state governments to the pandemic and, of course, the response of his administration as well. The president will not only be updating the American People on his administrations response to the virus, but also taking a broad range of questions about other policy issues as well, we expect. The president and his china virus Task Force Last held a briefing on april 27th. Since then the
