i am john king, we continue our special coverage of the coronavirus pandemic. states trying to act on their own mitigating the explosion of cases, getting some help from the government. the country is at a standstill. >> this week is going to get bad. we need to come together as a nation. >> we don't think people are taking it seriously. >> i think a lot of people who are doing the right thing. unfortunately we are finding out a lot of people think this can't happen to them.

>> the united states just a week ago, only a few thousand cases. now look, number of deaths are rising, hospitals running out of everything they need. doctors and nurses pleading for help, pleading for supplies. massachusetts and michigan now the last couple of hours becoming the ninth and tenth states to issue a stay-at-home order. several other major cities are doing the same. the senate also trying to get involve helping the economy with a massive stimulus. right now returning to session for their attention, a massive stimulus package for the price tag around $2 trillion, we expect to hear from mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer as the senate comes into session momentarily. let's bring in kaitlyn collins

and manu raju. >> where are we? >> intense negotiations happening all morning long. secreta secretary mnuchin and meeting with schumer. they have been going back and forth at schumer's office. and talking to the snarts and also mnuchin meeting with some key democratic senators were not at the senate. democrats are concerned of some of the language in the bill namely how to deal with funds that would go to distrust industries and democrats are criticizing that proposal. they're arguing restrictions. >> manu, i am sorry, mitch mcconnell is speaking on the floor of the senate. >> to our healthcare heroes and american workers and families.

democrats and republicans sat down together, we crafted this version of a proposal together. this compromise package will push tens of billions of dollars to hospitals to healthcare providers. it will send a direct check to millions of american households. >> it would stabilize industries to prevent mass lay-offs. it would deliver historically to small businesses to help main street employees from being totally crushed, crushed by this pandemic. yesterday when the time came to vote on these urgent measures, our democratic colleagues show the block. why are the american people still waiting?

it is a good question to ask. i hear the market is not doing well today. they're not going to ask the question of us. why not move? why are democrat filibuster into bipartisan bill to help write? >> the appropriate question to ask as this morning the country waits on us. let me give the american a taste of the outstanding issues we woke up to this morning. habeas corp here is some of the items the democra democrats' wish list over they choose to block this legislation last night. tax credits. division to force employers to get special new treatment to big labor. listen to this, -- are you

kidding me? >> this is the moment the debate of new regulation and it had nothing to do with this crisis. that's what they are up to over there. american people need to know it. democrats won't let us fund hospitals or save small businesses unless they get the dust off the green new deal. i would like to see democrats tell new york city doctors and nurses who are literally over run as we speak that they are filibustering more funding and more masks because they want to argue the airline over the footpri footprint? people are being laid-off

everyday. democrats' special interest friends want to squeeze employers while they are vulnerable. squeeze in employers while they are vulnerable. i would like to see senate democrat tell all american seniors seeing all their savings literally melt away. as the market crashed since the worst month of 1931. they're continuing to holdup emergency measures over texas credits for solar panels. tax credits for solar panels. the federal reserve announcing further extraordinary steps today. the markets are tighten once again because this body can't get their act together. the only reason they can't get their act together is right over

here on tp side of the isle. >> these are some of the wish list items they are rallying behind preventing us to get the emergency relief to the american people right now. democrats decided it is more important than american paychecks and personal safety of doctors and nurses. speaker pelosi said a few days ago and this is a direct quote. "this is a tremendous opportunity to restrict things the fit our vision." fit our vision. that was the democratic work in the house just laying it out there. we heard something similar on

the senate floor just last night, here with one of our democratic colleagues, how many times are we going to get a shock that a $1 trillion plus program right there on the floor? i don't know how many trade packages we are going to have. in other words, let's don't waste the opportunity to take fully guided and get our wish list done. they ought to be embarrassed, mr. president. some of them were embarrassed. talking like this is some juicy political opportunity. this is not a juicy political opportunity. this is a national emergency. we have bipartisan talks to get to this point. senators negotiated furiously to get to this point. the bill contains a huge number

of changes that our democratic colleagues requested including major changes. we were this close. this close. and yesterday morning and speaker of the house flew back to san francisco. this process turned into an episode of super market soup. unrelated issues left and right. i will tell you what will lower our carbon footprint mr. president, if the economy continues to crumble, hundreds of thousands of americans are laid off because democrats won't let us out. that'll lower our footprints all right. this is no time for this nonsense.

a surgeon in california says we are working with no ammo. we are at war with no ammo. a surgeon in fresno and an intensive care nurse in new york city says if we don't get equipment soon, we'll get sick. democrats are filibustering more masks and aid for hospitals? more americans wake up to the news that their jobs are gone. their jobs are gone. they're fill bibustering a huge unemployment insurance. hundreds of dollars per week to

laid off workers on top of existing unemployment benefits and doctors are bloemocrats are? this is a shock. today is the day it has to stop. our country is out of time. we sped it into the senate and pass ed it quickly without amending it. republicans understand their national crisis calls for urgency and calls for bipartisansh bipartisanship. it is time for that good faith to be reciprocated and time for

democrats to stop playing politics and step up to the plate. small businesses in their own state deserves it and their own state's emergency room doctors deserve it. their own constituents who have lost their jobs deserve it. my whole state of kentucky, commerce across the state and our unemployment system crashed due to demand. kentucky needs help now and we are not alone. i heard police and healthcare workers in new york and seattle and i listened to small business owners crying out in brooklyn, chicago a chicago. there is only one side to

understand that this is urgent. why does only one side understands that this is urgent. why are the hard hit cities, our own senators are happy to keep this slow walk going on in definite definitely? that's really something folks on the other side are comfortable with, slow walking all of this? how can how half the senate are not rising together at a time everybody is pulling together. examples are all over the country that we ought to look to. healthcare heroes, neighborhood volunteers and everybody is unifying and pitching in, what

about here in the senate? time to get with the program. time to pass historic relief that we have built together. the country does not have time for these political gains. it needs progress. we are going to vote in just a few minutes. i assure you mr. president the american people will be watching. >> mitch mcconnell blaming senate democrats with nancy pelosi holding up a $2 trillion stimulus plan. mcconnell is saying this bill is

being held up with unrelated issues. democrats are insisting for tax credits and solar and wind energy and new protection for labor unions in the united states and new emissions standards for the airline economy. mitch mcconnell says are you kidding me? he demands for swifter action. we expect chuck schumer to come with us. we have kaitlyn collins. chuck schumer is here to give his response. >> thank you, mr. president. well, every time we hear the majority leader come out it is a partisan scream. well, i am in my office with the president's secretary treasury, the president's congressional liaison getting things done. we democrats are trying to get things done and not making partisan speech after partisan speech. the past 24 hours, we got word

that a member of this chambers, senator paul has tested for coronavirus. and senator klobachar's husband also tested positive, he's in the hospital. i want to let them know both of them that the senate is thinking of them and praying for their speed b speedy recovery. as we are for tens of thousands of american families who are confronting the same situation right now. whether you are afraid for sick family member or older relatives in the hospital or struggling without work, income or the knowledge of when your isolation may end, our thoughts are with you right now. these are primetitrying time fof

us. the scorch of this disease will pass and the american people will always prevail. as the number of confirmed covid 19 cases in the united states gone up to 35,000, the senate continues to negotiate what will likely be the largest emergency funding bill in american history. we have almost continuous discussions with secretary mnuchin. he left my office about 12:15 last night and was there about 9:00 this morning. the white house's liaison has been in and out of the office as well. we are very close to reaching deal. our goal is to reach a deal today. we are hopeful and confident that we'll meet that goal. we have been working on a few issues that are no surprise to everyone. from the beginning democrats

insisted on a marshal plan for our medical assistance. more money for hospitals, community health centers and nursing homes and urgent medical supplies like gloves and masks and icu beds and testing kits and ventilators. since our negotiations, the numbers have gone up dramatically because the hospitals, our healthcare workers need the help. we are fighting hard and making progress for funding for states and local governments. they are propping up local care networks on their own. venues are declining. if we can help the big corporations, we can help our local towns and villages and the taxpayers they represent. on unemployment insurance, the bill moving into direction we

outlined. the original bill has the outstanding employment benefits lasting only three months. we need to make it longer because the dislocation caused by this crisis will not be over by 90 days. people who lose their jobs need help. every americans lose his or her jobs that you will get your full pay from the federal government. you can be furloughed by your employer, that means you will keep your benefits health and otherwise, you will be able to come back for the business, we can reassemble itself quickly after god's will this crisis ends. the bill still includes something that most americans don't want to see. large corporate bail out and no strings attached.

we think it is fair to ask for those. those are not extraneous issues. that's a wish list for workers and nobody else. and so we are looking for protection. we are looking for oversight. if this federal government is making a big loan to someone to big companies, we ought to know it and detail it immediately of the bill that was put on the floor by the republican leader, no one would know a thing about those loans for six months at least. in those so-called bail-outs, we need to protect workers. workers employed. we have been guided by one plan, worke workers' first. that's the name of our proposal. the bill needs to reflect that priority. now, we are working on all these items in good faith as we speak.

we hope and expect to conclude the negotiations today. this vote in the senate is no surprise is about to take a nearly repeat of a vote that failed last night. mcconnell continues to set arbitrary vote deadlines when the matter really important is the status, bipartisan n negotiations. let me be clear, the negotiations continue no more than 30 feet away from the floor of the senate in our offices where the real progress is taken place. once we have an agreement, that everyone can get behind, we are prepared to speed up the consideration of that agreement on the floor. so i am going to get back to negotiations. we all know time is of the essence. the country is facing our

crisis. we have an obligation to get the details right. get them done quickly. that does not mean blindly accepting republicans only bill. that was the bill we were givenment a lgiven. a lot of things we did not know about. that means working to make this bill better. better for us small businesses and better for our working families and better for our healthcare system. democrats, democrats will not stop working with our republican counter party until we get the job done. i will continue to update the senate on the progress of our negotiations. >> chuck schumer calling it a

partisan speech and he said he's actually working with the president's team. let's go to manu raju. we are in the middle of a pandemic and an election year. mitch mcconnell are saying democrats are adding extraneous items and schumer is saying i will get this going. calm down. >> his view is irrelevant. the real negotiations are happening in his office. the vote is going to happen one and move forward on this proposal probably will fail if won't reach a deal by one. negotiations are happening between him and secretary mnuchin of the treasury of the white house says they are close to a deal. once there is an agreement between the administration and himself and presumably mitch

mcconnell, too. that's when he would agree to speed up consideration for a final vote. he would allow this vote, if they do get a deal for move to a final vote as soon as today. even if this fails, we'll get it done. he did indicate a few outstanding issues dealing with funding for hospitals and changes unemployment insurance program and dealing with how industries are seeking money and how that program is structured. democrats are circulating and nancy pelosi is planning t to -- the question now is senator schumer does reach a deal with the administration and does agree to allow this bill to move forward. nancy pelosi agrees to let that

senate bill to pass the house and let it go into law quickly. that's still an outstanding question or she will push forward on her proposal and protract a negotiation for some time. it is uncertain for how the end game is looking like here. democrats are trying to push their liberal agenda into this measure and so we'll see how it plays out. democrats are optimistic that a deal can be reached. >> you can say the market is down 560 points right now. they were down much more. coming back, we'll see the in action or if this can affect our financial market. kaitlan collins. a safety net under the economy and at the same time he seems to be agitating thinking one week from today and we hit the 15-day

mark and recommendations from the white house, and sounded like the president thinks 15-day is enough. >> that's not what we have been hearing from health officials. that's the main focus of why the treasury secretary has been the one leading the negotiations and talking to chuck schumer and he pointed out yefseveral times yesterday. the president seems to be operating under this idea that potentially these guidelines that he put out and fronted himself may have done more harm than good and now she seems to e rethinking them. there is a question of what they are supposed to do one week from today. they were clear to say this is for 15 days and here is how we think you should operate and we'll up this another time in 15 days but now that's coming into question, john. the reason it is so significant is that people on the president's task force, the health experts and scientists

don't think it is a smart way to go. dr. fauci is the most recognizable face who's been push tg for more restrictions internally. he's making the argument it is better to be safe and sorry here and you saw the surge in general on nbc saying it is going to get worse and look pretty bad. they should not favor any kinds of easy restrictions here. the main reason the president is doing that is he's worried of the economic blows and having these guidelines of not having too many people in one place is cause. the question is which side prevails and all that goes. they're waiting to see when this bill will happen. this deadline we have today by the legislation was imposed by the treasury secretary. the reason the market reacting because they saw him teased a potential deal today. that's a question when we'll get that. >> manu and kaitlan, appreciate

that. come back to us when you hear more. our dr. sanjay gupta, the president putting the 15-day guidelines in place. the guideline says don't be in crowd more than 10 people, they're due to expire a week from now. can they expire? >> some may say they can be expire but should not expire. when the 15-day went into place some time ago, the thought at this point that was going to possibly get more stringent after two weeks and not be re x relaxed. that's the conversation i had with health officials sort of easing things a little bit. there is another public health officials who believe it should have been more trstringent from

the start. these were recommendations that were made and states adopted their own recommendations. one thing to keep in mind, john, and we are looking at a lag time here. between the time someone gets exposed sto the time they get tested and symptoms, it could be up to a couple of weeks. kind of like looking like the light from the star. we are just now seeing it and the same thing with what's happening with coronavirus. with everything, we are still everyone with increa even increase testings, we are not getting complete picture. the numbers are going to increase. what trigger and what reason would people have to say okay, now it is time to relax as the only measurable show things going in the other direction. i don't think it is permanent by in means. if you don't apply these social distance early and diligently

and honestly, they're not going to work as well. this idea sort of being uneven state to state and recommendation to recommendation does not make sense. >> i don't think it makes sense for americans and it is confusing from a political standpoint trying to get people to discipline and be more careful if you have the governors saying one thing and doctors say something else and the president saying something else. our viewers can see the numbers on the right side of the screen there, new york is the epicenter right now. the governor praising president trump saying he did get fema to move quickly to help with hospital beds. the governor also poking the president, everybody is in a scramble to get masks and gowns and shields. you have states competing against each other and the governor says mr. president, take this oath. >> i am competing with other

states. i am bidding other states on the prices. you are a manufacture who sits there, california offers them $4. okay, i offer $5 and another state comes in and offers $6. it is not the way to do it. i was speaking to governor pritzker yesterday about this. why are we competing? >> the answer to the why in his view is the president should use the defense production act to nationalize it, you are producing massings and this is the price, let's send a fair market price and the federal government distributes them according to need. the president seems reluctant to use that federal authority believing the private sector will sort it out. >> yeah, look, and the other part of this is that these things we are talking about because this is a pandemic are people everywhere on the planet

want these things now as well. it is becoming increasingly challenging for smaller states or communities trying to get their hands-on these things. the politics of this is very much at play. from a medical standpoint, you know when you have something that's becoming a scarce commodity and something that could have been obtained because the numbers were known in terms of demand for ventilators pfor masks and all these things, it is frustrating because they still don't have it and they are not sure if they can get it. it is a scarce resource for the entire world right now. >> the general talks about the bad week ahead and not more cases but dealing with the supply chain. >> dr. gupta thank you for being with us. >> more on prescribing the drug that president trump calls it one of the biggest game changer but not approved by the fda yet. follow that spud.

private doctors are starting to prescribe anti-malaria drug. president trump says it could be quote, "one of the biggest game changer for americans." the drug has not been approved by the fda yet. joining me now is elizabeth cohen. there are now concerns of peo e hoarding the drug. >> several states have regulations in place. hey look if you are going to prescribe this, you have to have actual diagnose rin s written o prescription. they are finding people for doctors prescribing it for themselves and to their friends and husband or wife and that's not okay and now in these stays it is actually illegal. people need these drugs to keep

them from malaria or lupus or arthrit arthritis. these drugs have not proourven you have covid. they may not even be safe on this disease. >> the world health organization has the view on this as well? >> they certainly do. these are untested drugs. just because a small study says it may work that does not mean it does work and the president has made it sound like it does work. he's also said hey why not try it, we are not going to kill anybody. well, that's not necessarily true. french doctor has put it a narrow margin between the therapeutic dose and a toxic dose. this drug associates with heart problem and eye problem, you can hurt people and you don't know

what it will do with patient with coronavirus. now w.h.o. says at the white house at the press briefing, we need to study these drugs. >> elizabeth cohen, appreciate the reporting. there is a global impact in nigeria, several people overdosed on chloroquine. >> three nigerians over thodose from chloroquine. it was not proven. prices are going up in the drug according to our recording.

officials say people should not buy the drug to use. david mckenzie. >> a shortage of critical supplies across the country. a growing concern, dr. zelensky. doctor, take us at the front line, what is today like at your hospital? is it better today or worse? >> we are definitely feelin feeling -- i can tell you comparing to last week and our cases of patients with covid 19 has gone up about five fold, gone up from 20% to 30%. we are trying to get tests done so people who are suffering who have the disease can be ruled

out and we can give special beds and protective equipment for those who need them the most. >> what is the status when it comes to the masks or the gowns. so many people have said sure we got some in the storage room but it is going to run out quickly. where are you? >> we are still watching it carefully over the weekend. i am happy to say that we actually decided on policies, and employees coming into the hospital to protect our healthca healthcare providers as well as protecting our patients. we are asking from massachusetts general and we are concerned of our supplies and we are watching it carefully. >> you can't vo-- at massachuse general hospital from your peers and colleagues, are there drugs

that helps or is the president winging it here? >> we are watching the critical trial very carefully, there has been some discussions of chloroquine showing some promises in the lab but it was sho still on trials. we are looking at other trials that's used in the clinical trials for compassionate use. that trial has been in china since about early february, over 700 patients from different trials. i would think there is fwoigoin be a huge spike out of mortality. we may have seen already. it may show promise of some hope. in terms of being a game changer to completely heal people quickly and disease, i worry we

may not see that. >> as your cases rise, take us through what you are seeing. has there anyone changed and were you surprised by anything or whether it is the mortality rate or the age of people coming in. what are you learning as your case loads increases? >> we have done quite a good job of emptying our hospitals of things that are non-essential surgeries and whatnot. i am preparing for what we'll see. our hospital is getting fuller by the day. our icu is getting fuller by the day and about 40% of our patients who come in are in the icu. so we are worried about obviously ventilators and wefr be we are talking about medical staff respiratory therapists to use those ventilators to be able to take care of those patients. so, we are frequently opening

new units to be able to manage the in take of patients and we are talking to our colleagues in new york city recognizing that we have the worst is yet to come. >> the president is getting antsy, we were told of the 15-day white house to be in place for one more week. the governor of massachusetts put in place of stay-at-home recommendation there. how much longer is it necessarily to have what i call severe social distancing, it is my word to help you deal with the problem. >> it is essential. everyo even just moderate social distancing did not work. if we want to turn the curve, we have to call it real isolation. i urge people stay in place and stay away from people who have

any symptoms at all so we can gain some control of it. dr. rochelle walensky, thank you for all your colleagues and what you are doing to help us through this time of considerable confusion. i really appreciate the work thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. >> warning on unemployment. could it really hit 30%. hello, son. dad! not cool. you know what's not uncool? old spice after hours... and jazz. dad, i prefer ultra smooth, it handles sweat without all that...jazz. you're right son. rowithout the commission fees and account minimums. so, you can start investing wherever you are - even on the bus. download now and get your first stock on us. robinhood.

there are many warnings about the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the economy. this one may stan out. congress tries to handle out a $2 trillion stimulus packet. unemployment rate in the united states may hit 30%. millions of workers are filing for unemployment and restaurants and retail business are closed down. there you see the dow right there to 265 points. that's a bit of an improvement from earlier. steve mnuchin leading with small business hanging in there, saying help is on the way. listen. >> all small businesses, we'll have an immediate mechanism. that's close to 50% of u.s. economy for workers. we are encouraging make sure you

hire people back. don't let people go because we are providing you necessary liquidity, we'll get that money out fast. we are working around the clock to d make sure the senate passe it today. >> larry summers, mr. secretary, thank you so much for your time today. take us through what you learned back then. what works and does not? yes, the washington is planning to help and planning to spend $2 trillion, that's staggering. what was called the bail out. what works and does not? >> look, there are a principles, you have to tell the truth. if you are not trusted, the fear drives the economy downward. public officials have to be careful and honest in their

statements. i don't think we have always seen that in the last month. second, you got to recognize that markets and psychology do over react, therefore policies have to react as well. there is much more danger in a situation like this than there is doing too much. third, assistance got to be focused on the most critical place. at this moment the most critical place is making sure that we don't have a downward spiral as people lose their jobs or unable to pay their debts and bank institutions are down and getting more trouble and the whole thing turns downward. that's why a focus on getting money to workers within small businesses and government willing to accept credit losses when necessary is much

appropriate. this is no time for free market principles and no time for traditional thinking. we are going to have government borrowing and spending on scales with deficits, the people have not thought of before. that's what is necessary. the last and most critically. t the more you do sooner, the less you will have to do later and the less you will have to do in total. that's why it is so important that the stimulus to be delivered quickly and why the public health part of the strategy, the social distancing and testing of individual cases move as quickly as possible. if we do less, we move faster now, the total amount, painful

policy that we'll have to under take will be reduced. >> when you were dealing with this, you had a financial clash and not a pandemic with it. the president is sounding a similar tone. reality check, booming economy, gone, businesses are closing and unemployment soaring. you start to see agitation that it is time to stop for restrictions, flip the switch back on the economy. what's your thought on that? >> it is dangerously misguided. if we do that, what will happen is we'll have a catastrophic cascade of illness which will stop the economy, too. we'll are a medical catastrophe and even worst economic catastrophe. this is something that starts

small and grows exponentially. and the sooner you act to stump it out, less pain you have to take in stumping it out. everyday of social distancing saves a week, a month from now if we don't get this under control. >> mr. secretary, grateful for your thoughts and in siesights today. >> new reporting of the president of the united states is now itching to reopen the country and relaxing those social guidelines. brianna keilar is continuing our coverage. have a great day, stay safe. >>exactly. that's why td ameritrade designed a first-of-its-kind, personalized education center. see, you just >>oh, this is easy. yeah, and that's >>oh, just what i need. courses on options trading, webcasts, tutorials. yeah. their award-winning content is tailored to fit your investing goals and interests.
