persist. >> it's amazing, people don't seem to care i'm sure they care in the sense that you are supposed to buy a bond and get a little back now you are paying for the privilege of buying a bond, which seems odd. nobody seems to be dumping bonds. >> the challenge there, bonds have given themselves a lot of cover. the typical way we would look at the fixed income, people would ask why am i buying a bond what is it paying? >> that brings around a lot of shock. the way fixed income is used, that asset class against other forms of risk. the total return from bonds has been shocking. i'll mention one index that is surprising you look at the long-term gov

5:21 am
metrics. do you have any idea what the states are looking at? >> we are not? even here in california, we have 30 of 59 counties on a watch list then the watch list gets we know how we get on the watch list we don't know how we get off there are so many different government agencies that govern between the mayors, boards, health departments, legislative people and law enforcement there is really no continuity and hasn't been since this started in march >> fitness studios, these are high-touch industries. physical contact, generally in doors. how do you make sure your customers and clients and people

5:31 am
>> remember, this is a starting point where republicans are beginning this, not necessarily what will become law take a look at the headlines inside the proposal released including this idea of lowering the bonus unemployment remember back with the c.a.r.e.s. act, they plussed unemployment by $600 a week. they would like to cut that to $200 a week. they say they were incentisen i havizing people to stay home saying they will replace your salary by 70%. by october, they would like to have that in place and direct payments of $1,200 to
5:32 am
$2,400 and a second round of ppp. there is more money there and small businesses with fewer than 300 employees with revenue fallen more than 50% will be eligible for this second round $100 billion for seasonal businesses and $105 billion for schools and focused on physical reopening and $16 billion to states for testing all of that in there coming out immediately saying this doesn't come in near far enough. >> chaos chaos. you change the unemployment benefit. it is going to take weeks, if not months for people to get it. the economy crashes, people are hurt, they get kicked out of their homes, they can't feed their kids
5:33 am
what are you doing is. >> there is about $2 trillion difference no indication yet they are anywhere close to a deal back to you. >> but because mcconnell said it is a starting place an they are $2 trillion a part they could see the gop despite saying their deficit hawks will boost it you said yesterday, no party ahead of the election wants to be the one to take anything away from anybody >> right exactly. i've talked to people close to the president saying ultimately his instinct will be to put out the biggest proposal put out sign it and take in the win. there are these ideas. we saw the former white house chief of staff yesterday suggesting there should be a skinny bill where they just do the unemployment insurance and nothing else
5:34 am
democrats are never going to give up that leverage to get republicans to the table this week an incentive here to do a lot instead of a little. i think the republicans who are holding out might find themselves on the other side of the leverage discussion. >> the majority of us, i'll include myself in this, they are not going to be necessarily paying taxes in 50 years to pay for this >> there are no pay fors on this bill this is entirely on the government's credit card both sides have embraced the idea that you need to borrow and spend enormous amounts of money.
5:35 am
the question is how enormous are the amounts of money they are going to spend >> it is like the california con door when you see it and then you don't see it again for 20 years. for more on this, we are joined by our guests. grover, thanks for joining us. listen whether we have to do it or not. because it was a government enforced mandate driven by the virus and lockdown very few members are going to be in congress or around to pay for this 30 and 40 years from now. how much debt are we going to saddle on my children or our viewers kids or grandkids? >> the cost of government is total spending, not just debt. the spending itself is the
5:36 am
problem democrats want to spend $3 trillion. that was their demand. republicans want to spend up to $1 trillion. the question is whether this additional spending would actually help or not they want to do $1 trillion and hand the state and local governments largely to cover the cost of previous incompetence. california, illinois and new york have bankrupted themselves for pension plans. that's what they want the money for. many states have money set aside for emergencies like this and they can take care of this the truly incompetent governors and corrupt mayors who have
5:37 am
bankrupted their cities, chicago. and states, california, illinois, connecticut, new jersey they want a trillion to pay for mistakes that have nothing to do with covid-19. republicans are saying we are not going to do that so this is a fight and the answer will be an interesting question the republicans have said no and the democrats have those mayors and governors. >> andy, i don't blame them if that's the case. most of the people in charge right now. whether governor many you aurph. we are talking numbers that are almost inkpree hencible.
5:38 am
are we changing the way we think about numbers. they are so large. i'm not sure we can comprehend them >> the numbers do matter i worked in the which inton white house in the 90s where we worked with the republicans to balance the budget in 1997 since then, we've seen the up tick of the budget over time right now, you are seeing unprecedented action the federal reserve with the capacity to spend up to $4.5 trillion. they have already spent $2 trillion part of the reason is because we are in a pandemic. we are fighting a health crisis we also don't want to become a
5:39 am
physical crisis with respect to the economy you saw that earlier. so people wouldn't get kicked out of their homes so right now, it's about making sure they get through this crisis >> let me follow up with that. i agree with everything you've said millions of people are out of work. they were forced to shut down most of america is still working and saving a ton of money by not
5:40 am
doing anything look at savings rates that are soaring. i wonder if there is a more targeted way to find out who needs it versus throwing $1,200 at everyone who doesn't need it, can work from home and now has another $2,400 in the pocket >> you are exactly right i think they are working on targeting the problem and getting it to those families that feed it the problem is a very short time period you are waiting for this anvil waiting to follow on their head with people waiting to stop getting their unemployment checks >> federal income tax rates, middle tax income tax rates are near the lowest they've ever been people hate to hear it
5:41 am
it is true state taxes are up, federal taxes are basically at 50-year lows are middle class taxes going to have to go up on a federal level? >> they don't have to go up. but our friend, mr. biden who is running for president promised a $4 trillion tax increase, if he wins that would be very interesting plus an energy tax president trump wants to take the corporate rate from 21% down to 50 and continue to reduce taxes and do more deregulation the good news is the fundamentals of the economy are strong when republicans introduced the corporate rate.
5:42 am
biden wants to make it higher to tax the rate the fundamentals are good we need to get through the crisis of the health issue what the democrats are asking for, the difference between $1 trillion to $3 trillion. democrats want to spend on things that have nothing to do with the virus and everything to do with bailing out incompetent, failed and corrupt state and local governments who have failed over the last decades to manage their own budgets and come up with reasonable pay packages and reasonable pensions for government workers. >> we have to leave it there funny that 537 men and women are
5:43 am
going to argue about it but it is really five unelected officials that will oversee the discussion folks, i've got a very personal question to ask you come here. what foods have you really been ordering and eating? you can't fib. doordash knows it is not kale or quinoaals. sad our rbi will rank them when we come back.

5:46 am
let's reopen. safely. welcome back quest says the demand for covid-19 testing continues to stress capacity. the company reports it surpassed 9.2 million tests to date. the continued high demand has extended the turn around time to more than two days for priority patients and a week or more for everybody else major league baseball may have a new crisis. less than a week into the shortened season and the league has its first wide-spread outbreak more than a dozen players of miami marlins have tested positive and are in quarantine they are still in philadelphia
5:47 am
miami's two home games versus baltimore have been postponed as was last night's philly-yankees game the commissioner saysing he's still positive on the rest of the season price who opted out saying, quote, now we really get to see if major league baseball is going to put player's health first. >> good to chat with you, is the season done? >> not yet we need to look to major league soccer to the women's soccer leagues. the issue there or difference is
5:48 am
that major league soccer, their bubble is in orlando and women's the tournament was in utah. those were bubbles that is a key difference we can debate whether baseball should have gone the bubble route. we are seeing great test numbers both leagues in bubbles. we have to acknowledge not all sports are created equally understand them saying, those marlin players are out those guys that will just rise up, do they care about the product? >> they care about the product
5:49 am
but these are such unique times. having those roster numbers unfortunately for the system before the season started, several minor league teams will likely bee defukt because they were trying to make the system more efficient the good news, you have all these players now available to man these rosters. it is not a perfect situation. at the end of the day, if we get to the point not every team is playing 60 games because there is not a lot of dates to make up these games. >> and a lot of teams will cry foul >> what does this tell us about football with all of these
5:50 am
combined your at tiesing budget of the year what do you think will happen. it is a precaution because it is much more difficult than what baseball is trying to pull off >> impossible? difficult? >> i think they can do it but extremely difficult. >> appreciate that talk to you soon we are back after this dow futures down 20 points derek, seems like your team is operating just fine remotely.

5:55 am
there is a lot of value in growth we are sticking with the tech theme. >> what are they rotating? rotating from those into an adobe or oracle instead. >> doesn't really roll off the tong but like the chicken sandwich, let's go into it when you see 22% of the s&p 500 in five names, let's remind a bit. we found those stocks chasing a bit. let's rewind to the bubble of the dot com period here at 22%, wir focused but it is interesting to see some of these names. really have a nice little boost.
