you could arrive at an answer on your own, because then it is you making the decision more so than him telling you what to do. and i didn't appreciate that until i got a lot older. >> yeah. we're watching video from 2006 in new orleans. you wrote about your father. you said "my dad was a giant of a musician and teacher, but an even greater father. he poured everything he had into making us the best of what we could be." your father raised such exemplary sons. four of you are prominent musicians in your own right. what did he instill in you and your brothers to help you become such successful -- i mean all of your really extraordinary men. i know the introduction embarrassed you, but it really is true. >> he's a thinker. and he was the perfect combination of a sort of rote

approach to playing music and the intuitive approach to playing music. he was a combination of the two. and i think being in a situation where you had to negotiate both of those worlds definitely made us better musicians. than it would have been if we had done one or the other. >> listen, there is so much to talk about your father. he mentored big jazz names like terrance blanchard, harry connick jr. you guys are the royal family of jazz. the alice marsalis center for music was build after hurricane katrina. that was part of his legacy. he embodied really new orleans. the mayor has put out a statement talking about him. i'm going put up the mayor's statement. it says "ellis marsalis was a legend. he is a prototype about what we mean when we talk about new orleans jazz. for decades your father performed at a weekly gig in a

jazz club there until just this past year." and so he meant so much to new orleans. and so i want to -- this virus that took his life is dangerous and deadly, as we know. what do you say to people about this? >> well, in new orleans, for instance, you don't really have to say anything because the streets are completely empty. people are sheltering in place and taking this very seriously. and so it -- i've heard it a lot on television and on radio and on memes. people should take it very seriously. they should wash their hands a lot. they should wear their n95 masks or any mask. be mindful of large crowds. it's real. it's real. >> but it's such a tough time for so many. the coronavirus is just devastating for families and

communities all over, including there in your city, including your family. what can folks do to try to help stop this and spare other families this pain? do you have any encouraging words, or any words at all for other families who are actually feeling the pain that your family is feeling right now? >> there is no -- no, not really. it's a hard one, especially it's something unpredictable, a virus. we haven't had a situation like this in our country since the spanish flu in 1918. and i think because there is such a large gap between pandemics, we tend to think that we're the first people to experience it. we're not. we will survive it, and some of our loved ones are actually

sacrificing themselves so that we can survive. and that's kind of how i look at it. and you know, watching what happened to my father made me even more mindful of what the stakes are. and everybody in my family takes it very seriously now. >> what i think is interesting is i have a friend who lost his father just a couple of days ago and had to make the arrangements by phone. couldn't see him in the assisted living facility that he is in because there is a no visitation policy because of the coronavirus. wynton, who is your brother, couldn't even get there to see him because there is a shelter in place order. >> right. >> there are so many families who cannot even be part of the funeral or going away process for their family member because of this. >> right. >> and it is just such an odd place to be in for people right now. >> yeah. we were very lucky.

our doctor at the hospital, you know ochsner. and the nurse juan and dr. sharma were really great. and they put my dad in a room. i don't remember. it's a high pressure room that minimizes droplets. and as a result, one family per day could go and visit him. and we have a lot of family members. but me and two of my brothers were able to go on successive days and essentially say goodbye. just be with him. and just sit with him. and that was very gracious of them to do that, because in other cities, because of the density, the population density, it's just not really possible. so we were luckier than most. >> my condolences. and give my regards to the entire family. you take care of yourself and be safe. okay?

>> thanks. it's great talking with you, don. >> thank you. you and well. this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. it is just past the top of the hour, and i want to bring you up to speed now on where this coronavirus crisis stands right now. the number of cases coronavirus worldwide has now surpassed one million with the virus killing more than 53,000 people around the globe. here at home, the coronavirus pandemic is worsening by the hour. johns hopkins university now reporting there are more than 245,000 confirmed cases in the united states, and more than 5900 deaths. president trump revealing tonight he's tested negative for the coronavirus for a second time. and announcing that he is invoking the defense production act on two fronts. the first ordering domestic manufacturers to produce more desperately needed ventilators. the second, ordering 3m, the company 3m, which is the largest

maker of medical face masks, to produce n95 face masks. and stark evidence tonight. the coronavirus pandemic is slamming the u.s. economy. the labor department saying 6.6 million workers filed for their first week of unemployment benefits in the week ending march 28. americans have filed nearly 10 million jobless claims in the last two weeks. joining me cnn chief political correspondent dana bash and our resident fact checker daniel dale. good evening to both of you. thank you so much for joining this evening. dana, you first. almost 6,000 americans have died from the coronavirus. 6.6 million americans filed jobless claims in just one week. but the president still won't take any responsibility for this crisis. >> it is just not in his dna. it just isn't. and it's unfortunate, because at some point, it is going to come back to bite him. because he is the president of

the united states. i mean, you can kind of lay out contradictory statement after statement after statement that have real life consequences. we said it before and we can say it again. we have seen crises throughout the trump presidency. they have all been of his making, all been personnel issues or other things that didn't really matter that much to people in their everyday lives. and this is that plus, you know, things that people couldn't even imagine. and the fact that he won't take responsibility, but not just that, don, that he is just -- i'll just give you an example that he is saying on the other hand, states are hoarding really important equipment, like ventilators. and in the next breath says "it's not up to me to give things to the states. they should have bought it beforehand." well, which is it? that's just one example of many of the problems that are being caused at the federal level and in the white house that you hear

from governors, from mayors all over the country. >> dana, jared kushner was at today's briefing, got in on the blame game, saying governors don't know how many ventilators they have. >> what a lot of voters are seeing now when you elect somebody to be a mayor or a governor or president, you're trying to think about who will be a competent manager during a time of crisis. >> subtle there. >> i guess they don't see the irony. >> there is not even a hint of subtlety to what jared kushner said. he basically all he needs is a paid for by people who want to elect donald trump after that. that's what that was about. and it was remarkable to see jared kushner, who has a very heavy hand not just in this task force now but has from the very beginning in getting his father-in-law reelected president. and the fact that he came out and talked about a number of things, some things that made

people cringe, like you talked about last hour with john harwo harwood, with him saying the president called him up and said oh, i just got a call from my friend, fix. this and he fixed it, which is like so that's what you need to do? you to have a pipeline into the president to get things done? probably not the message that jared kushner was expecting to put out there. but, you know, in a lot of ways, they're hiding in plain sight a lot of the goals that they have here, politically separate from the very big policy personal economic and humanitarian crisis that's going on right now. >> yeah, you say hiding in plain sight. i just say it's really transparent. we're saying the same thing. >> that's what i mean, yeah. >> so daniel, kushner also said today that the strategic national stockpile is not for states to use. what is the truth here? >> i'm on the website right now staring at my computer stream of the strategic national

stockpile. and this is what it says, don, on its first page. this is the intro. "the stockpile is a large supply of life-saving pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for use in public emergency, severe enough to cause local supplies to run out." and then it goes on to say, "when state, local and tribal territories request federal assistance, the stockpile ensures that the right medicines and supplies get to those who need it most." that's explicit. this is to back up to reinforce the efforts of states. i'm really not sure what kushner meant when he said this is ours and not theirs. >> interesting. i want to ask you, daniel, the president also made a claim that there are safeguards in place for travelers. take a listen to this. >> they're doing tests on airlines, very strong tests, getting on, getting off. they're doing test on trains, getting on, getting off. but when you start closing up entire transportation systems and then opening them up, that's a very tough thing to do. >> what are the fact, daniel?

>> don, this was his explanation for why he doesn't want to suspend domestic rail and plane travel, these very strong tests. don, these very strong tests are not hatchin inhappening. people are note getting testsed a arizona they get on and off planes, on trains, off trains. there are certainly passengers from certain countries and now certain u.s. hot spots who are being screened at airports after getting off flights. but getting on, they're not. and the vast majority are not facing any screening nor any testing. so this is yet another false claim by trump on this critical subject of coronavirus tests. >> daniel, dana, thank you so much. i appreciate it. >> thanks, dan. >> absolutely. now i want to bring in dr. celine gounder. she is a clinical assistant professor of medicine at nyu. she is also the host of epidemic podcast. thank you, dr. gounder. i appreciate it. just real quick before we get to this, and we talked about the town hall. you just sent me a note when i

was talking to branford mall sals about people not being able to say goodbye to loved ones, and it brought you back to the aids epidemic, right? >> well, that was such a defining thing about that, right? that you had gay partners who could not come and spend their last moments with their loved ones at their bedside in the hospital. just hearing that story, i had tears coming to my eyes remembering some of the patients i took care of. i sat by as two patients of mine had a wedding in the hospital as one of them was passing away. it just brings all of that back. >> thank you for that. dr. anthony fauci answered a question from a trauma surgeon on cnn's town hall tonight. take a listen to this. >> we've been put at an increased risk due to a lack of ppe and even reusing ppe. numerous patterns and suggests have been circulating the internet as to how to make

homemade versions of masks and gowns. what are your thoughts about frontline health care workers utilizing these homemade options? are they better than nothing? or could they be potentially harmful? >> well, certainly they're better than nothing. i don't think they could be potentially harmful. the only way they could be potentially harmful is if you assume they're as good as the classic ppe, and they're not. i really think we should never, ever, ever get to that point where we're going to have to start making it ourselves. and that's the reason why when we're at the task force meeting, you know, it's very, very clear that everybody is pushing to make sure no health care worker ever runs out of ppe. and i know there is a lot of anxiety. >> so he is saying health care workers shouldn't be wearing homemade masks and gowns. but isn't that already happening? >> well, sadly, don, it is, because we have run out of some of the essential ppe. we are rationing, you know. i hear about my colleagues

asking is it okay if i bring in these different items from home to protect myself. and that is the reality. it's better than nothing. you know, i think health care provide shores be allowed to bring in whatever they can from home to protect themselves. understanding it may not be as good as what the normal standard would be. >> yeah. today the new york governor cuomo was pleading during his press conference for ppe, saying that he will pay a premium. that speaks to just how dire the situation is here. >> yeah. i mean, i think, sadly, we should not be having to pay -- be the highest bidder to get what are essential supplies for our health care providers. that's a completely unacceptable situation. we should be prepared for situations like this, and we should be prepared to care for health care providers and to give them what they need and take care of patients, even in a surge, even in an emergency

situation like this. >> dr. gounder, thank you so much. >> take care, don. >> you as well. nearly 10 million americans have filed for unemployment the past two weeks. are we doing enough to help workers and rescue our economy? and in the midst of a crisis unlike anything most of us have ever seen, we could use a message of hope. lessons from history, next. did you know prilosec otc can stop frequent heartburn

before it begins? heartburn happens when stomach acid refluxes into the esophagus. prilosec otc uses a unique delayed-release formula that helps it pass through the tough stomach acid. it then works to turn down acid production, blocking heartburn at the source. with just one pill a day, you get 24-hour heartburn protection. prilosec otc. one pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn.

it seems like everything is getting thinner. but my bladder leak pad? i thought it had to be thick to protect. but not anymore. because new always discreet is made differently. unlike other pads, new always discreet has ultra-thin layers that quickly turn liquid to gel and lock it inside. so now, i get strong protection, in a pad i barely feel.

always protected. always discreet. this piece is talking yeah?. so what do you see? i see an unbelievable opportunity. i see best-in-class platforms and education. i see award-winning service, and a trade desk full of experts, available to answer your toughest questions. and i see it with zero commissions on online trades. i like what you're seeing. it's beautiful, isn't it? yeah.

td ameritrade now offers zero commissions on online trades. ♪ look at the number we put it up here. it is really astounding. it's huge. 6.6 million people file for new unemployment benefits last week. let that number just sink in. 6, 648,000 people. we're talking about almost 10 million americans in the last two weeks. robert reich is here, former labor secretary under president clinton and author of "the

system: who rigged it, how we fix it." that's a good question. but let's talk about those ten million americans. good evening to you, by the way. thank you for joining us. nearly 10 million americans have lost their jobs over the last two weeks. you were the labor secretary. you worked on president obama's economic transition team. did you ever think that you'd see numbers like these? >> i never did, actually. the highest number we'd ever seen for first-time claims for unemployment insurance was in 1982. that was about 695,000. nobody would have believed it if you said you're going to see 6.6 million people in one week filing for unemployment insurance. and those 10 million people over the last two weeks, that's a small fraction of the number of people who have lost their jobs, because a lot of people are not eligible for unemployment insurance. . >> yeah. i know you're the expert, right, and there are lots of experts,

robert. but no one has ever seen anything like this. even you just admitted that. so how do you even -- how do you put this into context? how do you even predict what's going to happen? when we started, everyone was worried about a recession. now people are worried about so much worse. give me your assessment on the economic damage here. >> well, first of all, it's very important to understand that this is not an economic crisis. this is a public health crisis. and the joblessness is coming out of the public health crisis. the reason that there are so many people losing their jobs is that because it is necessary for people to be home, to shelter in place if they possibly can, to do everything they can to be safe from this pandemic. and so what we really need to do is make sure people have the money that they need during this very unusual and hopefully very temporary sheltering in place. they also need health care.

those are the two things. every time somebody talks about stimulating the economy or getting jobs back, the usual things we talk about during a deep economic downturn, it's irrelevant right now. that's really not what we ought to be talking about. we ought to be getting money into the hands of people who desperately need it to pay the bills over the next month or possibly two or three month, and also getting them the health care they need, and getting the front line emergency workers, the hospital workers and others the kind of equipment that they need. those are the priorities. >> okay. well, i'm glad you say that so let's talk about what's happened so far, then. this $2.2 trillion rescue package that congress passed, it does some good, like expanding unemployment insurance, gig workers that you mentioned. you know the one-time $1200 direct payment to people, that really is just the beginning of what people are going to need. it's $1200. is it just a drop in the bucket,

though? is that -- how much help is that going to be? >> it's barely a drop in the bucket, don. again, if you think about this going on for several months, 80% of americans live paycheck to paycheck. and so $1200 is not going to carry them on very, very far. they've got pay their bills. if they don't pay their bills, you can see how this multiplies through the economy because a lot of the creditors that they owe money to, they can't pay their bills in turn. so congress is going to have to do something about this, and we're going have to see another major coronavirus bill come through congress pretty soon and that focuses on people, rather than bailing out big companies. i don't even understand why it was necessary to bail out the airline industry or boeing or any of these others. it's much more important to get money into the hands of people who need it. >> so what do they do? do you do like a moratorium on

rent? what does congress need to do? what does the administration need to do? a moratorium on rent, mortgage payments, what? some rules when it comes to evictions. >> there is going to be a lot of that at the state and local level. i think the most important thing is making sure people have let's say $2,000 a week for the next eight weeks, at least, or even beyond that. you see people, if they have the money, they can pay their bills. we don't have any more complicated than that. if they have the health care they need. and they can get the tests. they can go to the hospital if necessary. but if they don't have the money, if they don't have the health care, everything begins to fall apart. i would say if congress is gearing up for another coronavirus bill, and i think congress should be gearing up, they've got to make people, that is money, income, health care

for average people the center of that bill instead of worrying about businesses. >> robert reich, thank you, sir. you be safe. okay? >> you too. thank you, don. >> thank you. a lot of people are hurting right now. a lot of people are scared. as a country, we have faced some trying times before, and we have come out stronger on the other side. so here with some historical perspective on all of this is cnn presidential historian douglas brinkley. douglas, good evening to you. i sure hope that you're right about coming out stronger on the other side. but people are scared right now. we're coming to you for some hope that you can point to from history that will help guide us here. so help us out. >> well, you know, i heard governor inslee mentioning franklin roosevelt earlier, and we're all talking about nothing to fear but fear itself. we forget that when he was

inaugurated in 1933, the whole country had collapsed, 25% unemployment. the banks foreclosed. we had agricultural disaster, dust bowls coming. and here was a man that got polio in 1921, who couldn't walk, who worked to rehabilitate himself, leading our country where he couldn't even help himself to go to bed or a bathroom, saying we've got to press on. american history teaches us that we've got to press on. he reflected a lot on abraham lincoln running an election in 1864 and winning the u.s. in the middle of the civil war. the war of 1812. james madison got reelected. and then when washington, d.c. burned in 1814, we held midterm elections. there is something about the american spirit that's can do, and the belief that will solve this and stamp out this virus. we have to think that, you know, don, jimmy carter left his

presidency and devoted it to trying to eradicate diseases around the world in africa, with guinea worm and river blindness, you know, it's just that we've got to put that carter and fdr spirit with us the best we can right now. >> uh-huh. carter did it. bush did it with aids. so did president clinton. he did it with the clinton foundation. >> yes. >> but can we do that when we don't have an fdr type figure? can we do it with the figure we have now in the white house? is this something that the american people will do despite the leader or in spite of the leader? >> you know, i've been getting, don, a lot of people worried that this is sort of trump's going to take the election, and there won't be an election or it will be postponed. there will not be a postponement. and if there is, it's congress that determines that. our founders were very wise in

not letting presidents become absolutist monarchs. and so congress is going to hold elections. now the question is how do we do it? some states are already doing online types of voting. can we do the old town hall paper ballot. >> what i mean is that trump doesn't have the sort of -- he doesn't have that mentality, he doesn't have that fdr spirit about him. that's what i meant. >> no. because when fdr got hit -- we were mentioning pearl harbor earlier on the show. boom, immediately he mobilized the country, and in ways that trump was so slow out of the gate, don, that we're playing catch-up ball. and i think we have to think big and large right now. and it's our -- it's our great hope. during -- one thing. during world war ii was the first time pencicillin got used

and people's lives got saved. people who had blood poisoning or venereal disease and on and on during world war ii because doctors, medical people were working to solve things even while the second world war was going on. >> yeah. douglas brinkley, thank you, sir. appreciate the hope. we'll see you soon. >> thank you. >> absolutely. the commander of a u.s. aircraft carrier that has been hit by a major outbreak of coronavirus has been relieved of command days after writing a memo warning navy leadership that decisive action was needed to save the lives of the ship's crew. acting secretary of the navy thomas modly making the announcement today. >> i'm here today to inform you that today at my direction, the commanding officer of the uss theodore roosevelt, captain brett crozier was relieved of command. >> now there is no doubt that captain crozier set off a firestorm with that memo. but he was telling the truth and

trying to save lives. president trump was asked about the whole thing tonight. >> the navy is set to fire the captain of the uss theodore roosevelt after he raised red flags about the covid-19 outbreak on his ship. it appears as if he is being punished for trying to save the lives of the sailors of his command. what's your assessment? >> we're going to wait a little while because i understand there is a news conference by the secretary of defense about that. but, you know, i don't agree with that at all. not at all. not even a little bit. >> well, mueller said crozier was relieved because he went outside of the chain of command and sent his memo over an unsecured system, which may be out of the case. but he is out of a job tonight, at least in part of his effort to tell the truth and get help. the top doctor on the coronavirus task force admitted they're missing half the coronavirus testing data. we're going get the truth about testing, next. when it comes to , who has the highest percentage of its vehicles

white house coronavirus response coordinator dr. deborah birx making a stunning admission tonight, saying she is missing half of the coronavirus testing data. that's despite this stimulus law requiring all tests to be reported to the cdc. >> people might be getting a false sense of security or that we might not be seeing all of the data here and who has it. >> well, i'm telling you, i'm still mitting 50% of the data from reporting. i have 660 tests reported in. we've done 1.3 million.

there is -- and it could be those sites. we do need to see -- the bill said you need to report. we're still not receiving 100% of the tests. >> okay. so let's -- the truth about testing. let's talk to drew griffin. drew, that's a huge number. 50% of testing data not received. why is the task force still so far behind? >> don, this is beyond stunning. first of all, we are not testing enough at all to find out where this virus is heading. and to get in front of it. we are way behind in that department. so what she's talking about is the minimum tests that we have done, and she doesn't have the data on those very tests. when you have a test, the test for you and me is for our doctor, our medical care to know if we have it and to treat us. the task force has the tests aggregate tests to determine all

decision-making they have to make strategically, medically, public health wise, advising the president, and they're doing it now we understand with half the data that's available. it is really stunning. this testing program as it is just continues to just come up with these gems that i can't believe. it's such a mess. >> i think by now most people realize the testing, which was so crucial in trying to mitigate the spread of the virus has been botched. are there any signs that it's getting better? it doesn't seem like it when you hear this 50% data thing not having it. >> no. that part is certainly not getting better. what is getting better, the backlog, the unprocessed tests are beginning to be processed. hospitals are more and more doing their own testing so that critical need that we need to know, the patient in the hospital, do they or do i know they not have covid-19, those are improving, those tests. but in general, as i said

before, we are so far behind in this testing department that you and i, regular people, sick, who do not go to the hospital are just not going to get tested. it's not going happen. >> drew griffin reporting. drew, thank you so much. we'll be right back. did you know that feeling sluggish or weighed down could be signs that your digestive system isn't working at its best? taking metamucil every day can help. metamucil supports your daily digestive health using a special plant-based fiber called psyllium. psyllium works by forming a gel in your digestive system

many governors taking the lead as the pandemic worsens.

the president has clashed with some of them, but he has developed a good working relationship with governor gavin newsom. the california democrat. the two men often at odds in the past, but that was then. here is jeff zeleny. >> objectively, california is the most un-trump state in america, and i think that's demonstrable. >> the most untrump state in america. that's what governor gavin newsom called california just six months ago. but tonight he has a different assessment of president trump. >> let me just be candid with you. i'd be lying to you to saying he hasn't been responsive to our needs. he has. >> in the fight against the novel coronavirus, the governor is making clear he and the white house are on the same side. and he is not shy about saying so. no matter what democrats may think of the president. >> the fact is every time i called the president, he has quickly gotten on the line. >> the president, who has quarrelled with one governor after another, has done anything but with newsom. >> governor gavin newsom, he has been very nice.

we're working really well on this. >> the two men during the catastrophic california wildfires in 2018. this handshake helped get a potentially rocky relationship off to a good start. >> we're going get it done. >> it's not as though the pandemic has closed the political divide between the white house and the largest and perhaps most liberal state in the land, from immigration to the environment. newsom signed a light on the deep policy differences during the campaign four years ago. >> trump strangled the sunny optimism of ronald reagan and replaced "tear down that wall" with the cynical bigotry of "build that wall." >> now newsom is pointing the finger at states that he believes are not taking this crisis seriously. >> what are you waiting for? what more evidence to you need? >> across the country 40 states have stay-at-home orders. in five states partial orders are under way in some large cities. and in five more there are no stay at homan dae home mandates. california was first to issue a

statewide stay-at-home order. like most states, he is pleading for equipment and ventilators. he has advised some fellow governors to do the same. not necessarily agreeing with trump, but being tempered with any disagreements. >> i'm not going to complain about it. we're going own it and we're going to work our way around it. >> long-time strategist rob stutzmann believes newsom is takinging the right tone with trump. >> when it comes to getting what you need from the feds, from the white house, flattery will literally get you anywhere. >> do you think it's wise on newsom's part to be taking this approach? >> everything that newsom has done has been from the position of being a statesman. and so i don't think there is much political calculation in anything that he is doing. >> it's hardly a long-term mutual admiration society, but newsom needs the president's help, and the president needs him to help contain the outbreak in the nation's most populous state. >> i could criticize this or that. at the end of the day, we're just trying to focus on developing a relationship of

trust as a matter of course because there is too many americans, 40 million that live in this state that deserve us to get together and get along. >> jeff zeleny, cnn, washington. >> jeff, thank you very much. a public apology tonight from the founder and ceo of zoo. you know, the videoconferencing app being used by millions of americans who are working from home due to the coronavirus. zoom's become a vital social and professional lifeline for so many. used for everything from brunches and birthday parties to religious events. and that is the problem. it is now being used by so many people, there are questions about privacy issues and questions from security experts about the level of encryption on its platform. zoom's ceo saying he is sorry and that those issues will be addressed. we'll keep you updated on that. doctors and nurses facing a crisis unlike any before. my next guest is making sure to take care of those on the front lines of the battle against coronavirus. when it comes to autism,
