scratchy. >> we're not supposed to do it i can't stop doing it. david: one of the most contagious viruses ever known to man. something like this, we want to give the entrepreneur as chance to do well. that does it for "bulls & bears," everybody. stay safe. elizabeth: welcome toe the show. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" rights now. the president will address the nation in less than three hours at 9:00 p.m. eastern time from the oval office on the coronavirus outbreak. we're now monitoring if the president will declare a national emergency. tonight we're going to bring you calm rational information from the experts. now that declaration would let the president direct fema to possibly tens of billions of dollars of disaster relief funds for the virus. we're now digging into government contracts now going out. we'll give you that information. we're trying to track what the trump administration is doing now as they push back on the

armchair critics. this as democrats risk voter backlash for blocking, for fighting with the president's version of coronavirus stimulus help. we'll tell you what doctors are saying about that. they don't like the fighting. also tonight health officials warn the virus, yes, 10 times more lethal than the flu. world health organization did officially declare it a pandemic. we have more on this. also fresh attacks and worries about joe biden from democrats. we got democrats and house republicans, they don't like fisa reform. they don't think it fixes what happened after the fbi. we have new coronavirus fears at the border. edward lawrence at the white house with the latest. edward, here is what we're seeing, the president is going to say i will protect the american people. he likely set aside chuck assume ear es letter, schumer is demanding a national emergency. maybe the president pulls that trigger tonight. what are you hearing? reporter: we haven't heard if

president goes on that front. all hands on deck. he talked with the governors yesterday but also been reaching out to the private sector. yesterday was health care. today was banking. tomorrow it will be tech. the heads of the banking industries as well as big major players in the financial markets today, talking about the stimulus package. the president has said he will say what he wants to see what happens in three hours time. senior democratic aid told me the house will vote on their bill, their stimulus bill tomorrow. it will not include payroll tax reform for employees and employers like the president wants. that's a nonstarter for democrats. it will include paid family leave. that is helping to make sure hourly workers get paid and others who will miss work because of the virus don't lose money. free testing for the coronavirus and enhanced food and nutrition assistance programs for children that miss school. it will help small businesses,

something the president really stresses. listen. >> we'll be doing a lot of additional work with small business as you know. we'll be adding many billions of dollars. we'll be making lots of small business loans as the banks are too. reporter: president talking about helping those financial big sectors dealing with this. treasury secretary steve mnuchin mentioned government-backed loans like what happened after september 11th. the treasury secretary says the administration may push back the april 15th tax deadline for employees that could add $200 billion to the economy. mnuchin making point on this. the stimulus bill tomorrow what could be passed and he will go back to continue those talks. listen. >> this will require multiple times coming back to congress. so whatever we do kind of in the next 48 hours that is just the first step. we'll be back. i think there is bigby partisan support. people understand that we have to help small and medium-sized

businesses and certain industries. reporter: with small, medium and large businesses all asking the employees in many cases to stay home, the latest one, google asking their north american employees to stay home. one more note, late today cbs news headquarters in new york was evacuated because two of their employees tested positive for the coronavirus. elizabeth: let's get back to the proposals quickly, edward. democrats risk voter backlash because they're seen as going against tax cuts in the form of a payroll relief, 0%, 7.6 tax cut to end of the year. that is the quickest way to put cash in people's pockets. >> exactly. that would boost the economy immediately almost. that is something the president is pushing for. elizabeth: by the way it, would not be the first time a president declared a national emergency and a health crisis. president obama did it in 2009 over h1n1 flu pandemic. this is what we're finding

digging into government contracts going out now. hhs, out of fema, they're putting out quick turnaround contracts, they're asking for 24 turn around on half a billion facemasks. asking for portable showers and hand washing stations and for thible toilets. asking for 24 hour turn around on contracts. edward, we don't know what the president will say but he is taking heavy fire and barrage of criticism from the armchair critics on this. a lot of ankle biting going on. reporter: almost there to the point on national security or almost national emergency. he is almost there, this is whole government approach is what the message out of the white house is and they will make sure agencies like fema get these things done quickly, get them out to the people that need it. >> thank you, edward, for the reporting. we're talking to new york state health officials and surgeons, doctors, been reporting on this for a week, they say they don't like the politicizing. knock it off.

get to the market. we're in a bear market. the dow did lose more than 1400 points. down 6%. 11-year expansion halted today. started in 2009. looking at second largest point drop in history. let's go to the money pro. this is eric nelson. great to see you, eric. >> great to see you, thank you. elizabeth: we'll test the lows of december 2018? >> hard to say what direction we'll go in the short term but i spend all day, every day, talking to long term investors, my message is don't panic this. is a scary time but the worst thing you can do when you put your investor hat on is to sell stocks. we don't know where we're going to go in the short run. if you can stay tight, if you can stick to your plan, you will okay in the long run. elizabeth: do pandemics cause recessions? >> we've seen recessions before during viral outbreaks but there

has been some it is hard to draw any correlation between whether or not it is a lock or not. so i urge all investors, try to tune out what you're hearing and what you're seeing on a week to week and even month to month basis and try to focus on the long term, what we've heard before. this too shall pass. elizabeth: i hear what you're saying. markets are having problems pricing bottom. shut things down. shut down large gatherings. do a payroll emergency. do a payroll tax cut. you have snap back recovery. that is what it is about, confidence, confidence. we're showing market history from 1990 through two years ago. we do have, we have had a lot of volatility. we've had losses. then we've had snap back and pullbacks then the markets go up. has anything fundamentally changed in the strength of the economy or companies? >> i don't think so.

coming into the year the economy was doing quite well. what investors need to realize these temporary losses are pretty common. the day-to-day swings of four or 5% or even a drawdown of 15 or 20%, going back to 1980, the average intrayear decline of stocks from peak to trough every year is average of 15%. we need to expect this kind of short-term volatility. but over that entire period of time, the long term return on the s&p 500 it, was 10%. so you don't need to avoid these short-term disruptions to make money in stocks. elizabeth: that's a good point. >> stocks make money despite the volatility. elizabeth: eric nelson, great to see you. come back soon. >> thank you. >> expert there. a good money pro. eric nelson. bring in global health vice president of project hope. favorite of the show. he is chris kopec. chris, great to see you again. hospital officials, surgeons, tell us, the president might pull the trigger declaring a

national emergency. that means the president can go full bore stopping infections and fatalities. that is totally dependent on shutting this thing down now. as the president said today, he wants to stop it. what do you think? >> well, whether you call it a state of emergency, declaration, w.h.o. referred to it as a pandemic today, the terms don't change anything. it is a whole of society approach that will be required to respond to this. that is what's needed. we heard whole of government. it is more of that. you need the private sector involved. you need the civil society involved and people involved and bought into their own personal responsibility to combat this virus. elizabeth: we see new york city has canceledded their st. patrick's day parade. cities in the united states doing what france and switzerland are already doing, stopping and banning large gatherings. santa clara county doing that. bay area, san francisco doing that. like reaction to governor cuomo

and "new york times" bret stevens attacking the president. let's listen to this. >> when the coronavirus broke out in china, they said it is china's chernobyl. actually it is president trump's chernobyl. there are some things you can't lie and spin your way through above all a virus out of control just as the soviet government could lie its away through atomic particles in ukraine 35 years ago. >> it reminds me of hurricane katrina. a failed federal response and failed federal mobilization. they underestimated the challenge. elizabeth: okay. i have a doctor weigh income on this saying, quote, this is obnoxious armchair analysis that doesn't help us on the front lines. this is vanity of armchair critics. this is the quickest way to undercut your own credibility when focus should be on getting stuff done now. your reaction? >> i can say for sure i'm not a politician, i'm a humanitarian. in every disaster i have been in it is chaotic, difficult,

challenging at first to bring order to the chaos and respond in a way to save lives around effective. we saw the same thing in china. in january the criticism was withering. they scaled up the response tremendously. they took a whole of society approach to addressing it. today we have 10 newly confirmed cases in all of china. it is possible. it is easy to sit back to be critical. we need to focus on what the solutions are. we know what the solutions are. it will take leadership and it will take resources and it needs it now. elizabeth: shut down the infections where they're at. president's former homeland security advisor said time is, we're 10 days away from hospitals getting creamed. people are contagious five days. it is different than the flu. harvard experts say 20% ever coronavirus cases resulted in hospitalizations. they saw it outside of the world in italy. 20% of coronavirus infections

end up in hospitalizations. you don't see that with the flu. people are, if they have it, they can be infectious, contagious for five days, show no symptoms. i want to get your reaction to dr. anthony fauci warning it is 10 times worse than the flu when it comes to fatality rates. watch this. >> 80% of the people who get infected will do well. they will get sick. they will be uncomfortable. they will not feel well but spontaneously recover. about 15% of them, according to the data from china, korea, et cetera, that those are individuals that are going to get into trouble. mortality in that group is very high. mortality for seasonal flu is 0.1. the mortality for this is about two, 2 1/2%. it is probably lower than that. it is probably closer to one but even if it is one, it is 10 times more lethal than the seasonal flu. tough make sure people understand that. elizabeth: so, chris how do you

stop it? >> you don't stop it. we're trying to mitigate impact. elizabeth: how? >> reduce acute spikes in geographic areas, that is what overwhelms health care system that puts health care workers at risk. elizabeth: how do you do it? how do you do isn't. >> easily. work on social distancing with one another. work on proper hygiene techniques. public health interventionses that can reduce transmission of viruses. >> do quarantine of cities? lockdown of cities as required. >> as required. it needs to be evidence based and tailored to each area of outbreak and needs to be erational and effective if it is. elizabeth: you have seen this in action, right? >> absolutely. >> you know what works. chris, come back soon. >> absolutely. thank you. elizabeth: chris is terrific. he a great guest. catch us tomorrow night, "dr. oz" will be with us, what is going on with coronavirus outbreak. what he is hearing.

dr. oz up with us tomorrow night. we'll get you updated on the 2020 race. democrats are trying to push out bernie sanders. but bernie sanders saying i'm not going anywhere. i'm staying in. here is the thing, will that get bernie supporters so angry they vote for the president? remember they helped the president win in 2016 in key battleground states that bernie supporters were the margin of victory. we have that. now democrats worried about the joe biden the gaffe and flub machine, journalist, stimulus plan, joe biden, next. ♪. wherever we want to go, autosave your way there with chase. chase. make more of what's yours. my body is truly powerful. i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to.

economy. elizabeth: let's turn to joe biden. he is now the front-runner after last night's primaries. reaction to democrats like james clyburn trying to push out bernie sanders? bernie says he is staying in. james carville is saying end the primaries now, it is joe biden. is this about protecting joe biden? >> well certainly i think is. i mean, my goodness sakes, they're all jumping on board the biden wagon and i don't really think that is a good idea from their perspective, think about it. joe biden says the darnedest thing. he can't remember what office he is running for. he says he is running for senate. he goes out on some guy that was just asking him a question and the other day said a bad word against him. he gets angry at people. i don't think this is the best candidate for them, hey if they want to put up joe biden against donald trump, donald trump is going to trounce him. elizabeth: you know,

vice president, vice president being accused of making shorter speeches. congresswoman, maybe this is why the exit polls from last night showed less than half of democrats are quote, enthusiastic about joe biden. 41% said yeah, we're enthusiastic about him in missouri. 35% in washington. 31% in michigan. they're not enthusiastic about joe biden as nominee. >> you can see that from the crowds of people. they were enthusiastic, tons of crowds of people for bernie sanders but not so much for joe biden. my goodness, the stuff that you could play against joe biden, i mean all of the times he is sniffing women's hair, baby's hair, girl's hair, touching people inappropriately, saying inappropriate things, doing gaffs, i mean, i just kind of question the, you know, what the democrats are doing here up hey, i think it is good for republicans and for president trump. elizabeth: let's show what the bernie voters, how they have

reacted in the past. show the full screen, gang. congresswoman, it is true, bernie backers, the bernie voters, when hillary became the nominee, they swung to trump. they gave candidate trump the margin of victory in three key swing states, pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. one out of eight bernie voters went for president trump in 2016. that might happen again. van jones at cnn he is saying we're in a danger zone right now. you have to reach out to the bernie gang, what do you think? >> you know, i think they're right, the bernie people are going to be mad. it is a little suspicious how all of the establishment people are going in for biden and against bernie. i would be mad if i was them. elizabeth: okay. congresswoman, great to see you. thanks for joining us. we're up against a hard break. we have a whole lot more show. >> thank you. elizabeth: what the president might say tonight when he talks with the nation at 9:00 p.m. stay with us.

>> there is a lot of fear in america. not just personal health. you're not worried about your safety but worried about the economy and your 401(k). there is not a partisan issue. there is appetite for leadership with someone that rises above all the partisan sniping on this issue. we'll be reassuring the government response will be competent and efficient. that is the message that gets across. elizabeth: to bring confidence back in? >> yeah. elizabeth: we talk to hospitals, doctors, health officials, surgeons, they uniformly say stop politicizing it. why does d.c. has to turn everything political? they're calling it president's chernobyl and katrina. it is a high rate of hospitalizations this is not like the flu. >> this is inevitable. i think in a lot of ways politicians will view disasters as opportunities to take shot as the other guy. steak shot as -- take shots at

the opponent. that is to be expected. it a real opportunity for president trump to rise above the fray, look big, look presidential, to win over people. elizabeth: he has gotten things done without congress already. he has a long list of accomplishments. i want to get to democrats eric swalwell and republican rick crawford to reintroduce, talking about reintroducing legislation to let congress work from home, from their home districts, even vote from their home districts. i don't think the software is there secure enough to let them do that. we don't want to be churlish but they only work two or three days a week. nancy pelosi says to jerry nadler. no, you will not leave d.c. or work from the home district. what about this fight? >> they're handing out laptops to make sure staffers can go home. this is the point no one can is immune from this. from most powerful to the least

powerful. it is proper to get it right. talk about the government response. president trump has done a good job with deregulation and hacking through some of the red tape. elizabeth: in order to get state labs to be able to do testing? >> even "the new york times" highlighting in seattle how bureaucracy gotten in the way of a efficient response. this is important point. elizabeth: that is important point. >> there needs to be more efficiency and republican approach to this is better one. elizabeth: interesting. what about republicans self-quarantining like doug collins, mark meadows? we have matt gates. matt gaetz slept in walmart parking lot after got off air force one. he was driving through florida. didn't want to infect anybody. slept in a walmart parking lot in florida? >> highlights need of efficiency. people don't feel like they can get to the hospital, that they can get tested in a quick and order earlily way. anything that can be done to reassure americans to streamline the process.

introduce element of certainty. until then good to see leaders taking it seriously, even if it means sleeping in walmart. elizabeth: in a parking lot. so you don't infect anybody. jillian, will you come back? >> always. elizabeth: great to see you, jill yen melcher, "wall street journal." president speaks to the nation from the oval office at 9:00 p.m. we have this big fight. we'll bring on robert ray. he was on the president's impeachment team. house republicans, house freedom caucus, they don't like the fisa reform bill, the legislation there. they say it it will not stop future fbi abuses spying on the presidential campaigns like they did on the president's campaign. that story next.

elizabeth: what the president will say when he addresses the nation from the oval office.

get into fight over the fisa support. house freedom caucus doesn't like it. they say it does not go far enough from the fbi abusing the fisa court to spy on a opposition campaign. look who is here? former independent white water counsel robert ray on the president's impeachment team. >> nice to be with you. elizabeth: what do you think about fisa? >> i think the legislation takes positive steps forward. you can always say well, it is not enough. the attorney general supports it. my understanding the inspector general michael horowitz is also involved. the question to ask, i'm sure the president will ask, i'm sure various senators will ask, does it advance the president's goal that it doesn't happen to another president again. elizabeth: do you think it does? >> it is ha toward snow that. you won't know until legislation goes into effect. we're in the game of predicting are there significant enough steps. elizabeth: an penalty. >> an penalties.

things like if it involves a presidential campaign it would require the personal approval of the attorney general of the united states in order to proceed down this path. >> that is interesting that you brought that up. the house freedom caucus simply says that gives politicians more protection from government spying that should not happen in the first place. they want the fbi officials to be charged with crimes and punished. look at the doj-ig report. this is what we found. this is how the fbi abused the fisa court by withholding information from the fisa court. >> there is litany of so many abuses it is almost hard to summarize. you have done that just there. the question is, does the legislation track enough to be able to deal with all the litany of abuses? i guess my other standard would be fisa court needs to be programmed by congress to act more like a court, which is to say, that you need a buffer between the awesome power, law

enforcement power of the federal government and those who would it was designed to protect which would be citizens of the united states like carter page. elizabeth: okay. >> if you're making a judgment whether you want to support this legislation, i think you have to ask yourself a very tough question, does it do enough to protect civil liberties of americans. elizabeth: we'll get to that in a second. treat it like a regular court. which means, charge those who misled the court with perjury. >> right. >> legislation has maximum prison sentences of five years to eight years for intentionally lying to the fisa court. we know the doj watchdog found 17 significant ways the fbi misled it. fbi attorney kevin clinesmith doctored evidence but i don't think it grandfathers those issues. >> no. that would have ipso facto problem. is that appropriate signal sent by congress and the court needs to do a more effective job with the tools congress provides to

insure the bill of rights are respected, in the distance between surveillance that's necessary in order to protect the country but also the rights of americans that are impacted as a result of those awesome powers of government. elizabeth: in terms of foreign government meddling. >> correct. >> what happened here was the fbi was spying on the trump administration, not just the campaign, right? >> right. >> they had informants. elizabeth: get to what you're talking about with civil liberties. democrats and republicans still have issues, privacy issues with this. we have a scroll what senator ron wyden is worried about, americans can still have gps locations cell phones tracked by the government. you can still do internet search histories on you without a warrant? >> the fisa court raises a question where are those legitimate needs with regard to protecting the country? the alternative to this, cut to

the chase, the alternative simply do away with the fisa process completely and stick it back within article iii courts under the judiciary and have it just to be like any other application that you would have to make for a search warrant or any other form of electronic surveillance against citizens of the united states. we've made the judgment that there are certain instances with regard to protecting the country, particularly involvement by overseas actors where if it indirectly impinges on the rights of citizens of the united states that may be a price that has to be paid. the question is, how bilge -- big of a price and how much monitoring by the special court to assure abuses are presented and addressed when it happens? experience has been they were not up to the task. it was not sufficient to protect americans. elizabeth: when you found out the depth of what the fbi did with the trump campaign, yes, we understand russian meddling, you got to stop it.

>> i was amazed how far the track we got, way off the track and the question is a legitimate one, again i'm not sure i know the answer to this, does the legislation go far enough in order to insure getting that far off the track cannot happen again? elizabeth: we don't want to be east germany. robert ray. you're great. come back soon. great analysis again from robert ray. just ahead, we have got mounting, increasing questions from democrats about the alarming number of gaffs, mistakes, and flubs that joe biden is making on the campaign trail. we're going to talk about that next. ♪. because our way works great for us! but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. so, what do you provide? cookie cutter portfolios? nope. we tailor portfolios to our client's needs. but you do sell investments that earn you high commissions,

went viral. you can't beat trump by trying to hide to avoid the issue. >> jim clyburn wanted to shut down the primary because we don't want joe biden to have a debate f he can't debate bernie sanders how will he be a be able to debate at president trump. the more he is out there,. >> biden is insulting and voters. >> watch the vice president make these mistakes. listen to this. >> for folks in the works class below 400, they will infact increase their premiums. , the public option will be available in my plan. we'll make sure it is not quality, make sure it is only affordable. ault men and women -- you know, you know the thing. 3900 of them right here in the state of north and south carolina.

[laughter] come on, man. want to check my -- do push-upses. >> whoa whoa, you're getting nervous, man. elizabeth: your reaction? >> joe biden has been challenging voters to i.q. tests for decades. there is a reason why after two presidential runs he never made it out of iowa before. he has never been a strong candidate. this exchange with the auto

worker in michigan was so telling because not only was joe biden so ignorant what he wants to ban, calling them ar-14s, comparing them to machine guns. what was so revealing was when he told the the blue-collar worker in michigan, i don't work for you. like everything else joe biden said in all those clips you showed is exactly backwards. he is supposed to work for us. that is something true that is revealing. he has didn't been working for the american people in 48 years in the swamp. he has been working for himself. working for his family. trading power and influence. that is what people were sick and tired of in 2016 and we're not going to go vote for in 2020. elizabeth: incumbent presidents tend to win. it is rare that they lose. only twice since world war ii did they lose. they have won 14, incumbent presidents, 14 of 19 reelections since 1900 mostly because the economy tends to look good.

look at maxine waters doubting that joe biden can beat president trump. >> it is not about who you like. it is about now watching and understanding who can beat trump. >> do you think biden has what it takes to beat trump? >> i don't know but we'll see. elizabeth: okay. doesn't know but we'll see. final word. >> we'll all see. she knows the truth neither of these candidates can beat interest trump and record of accomplishment. the president is actually doing what he said he is going to do. we see the results. the democrats tried that in 2016 running against donald trump. it didn't work out. guess what, because president trump had an agenda that was pro america, pro-business, pro-growth, pro-this great country and democrats, they can't just run a negative campaign. also by the way, joe biden saying he will restore civility and decency and then he is going to do that by cursing out auto workers in michigan. good luck with that.

elizabeth: get your reaction about the coronavirus outbreak. we have politicians in washington saying like eric swalwell and other democrats like jerry nadler, let's work from home, work from our home district. nancy pelosi saying no to that. doctor texting me, quote, please ask one of these politicians they're so interested in protecting themselves to work from home and want to work from home, how will they plan on protecting physicians and nurses on the front line? >> exactly. they need to put the people first, the health of our citizens first and stop looking out for their own personal interests. president trump is going to continue to put athe country first and do the steps that we need to keep this country safe. elizabeth: liz, great to see you. come back soon. >> you too. elizabeth: next up, lou dobbs with a look-see coming up on his show. good to see you, lou. >> good to see you, liz. joining us tonight on the coronavirus pandemic, fox news medical correspondent marc siegel.

some people say that's ridiculous. i dress how i feel. yesterday i felt bold with boundless energy. this morning i woke up calm and unbreakable. tomorrow? who knows. age is just an illusion. how you show up for the world, that's what's real. what's your idea? i put it out there with a godaddy website. make the world you want. liz: a debate breaking out from stopping the coronavirus from crossing the southern border and other u.s. borderers. dr. anthony fauci says if the

president did not stop inbound travel from china we would be a lot worse off. >> coming outside within is what started this. i think doing that saved us a lot of suffering. liz: joining me, brandon judd, what your action to what dr. fauci said. >> he's absolutely correct. i have spoken with president trump on border security on numerous occasions. one thing he has always been concerned about kiss -- concerns communicable diseases. he had been putting plans in place to stop communicable diseases from coming across our borders. this is the forward thinking

president trump has brought to the office of the presidency, and frankly it's a refreshing change from what we have seen in the past. liz: let's get to the border data coming in since the wuhan virus broke out. 323 chinese nationals tried to illegally order the u.s. i don't see how it can be called racist when the president is trying to protect all of us, including minority communities. >> border secures has nothing to do with racism. i have personally arrested people who are just as white as i am from russia and poland and other countries. it has to do with the safeguard of this country and the american people. when you look at a virus that's

so deadly like the coronavirus. if we don't get a handle on the southern border it could easily spread throughout our community. the main thing that has to be done is isolate the virus to protect citizens. liz: homeland security data shows border officials have stopped thousands of migrants coming in from 70 different countries where there is a coronavirus outbreak. the cdc does continue to test those at the border. none have tested positive. it's striking 70 different countries here. your take on that? >> just because nobody tested positive to this point does not mean nobody is going to test positive. as hard as border patrol agents work, there are people who manage to get away from us. and those individuals could

potentially carry the coronavirus. especially when you consider that people are trying to enter our country illegally from 70 countries that have been affected. liz: what if the president declared a national emergency at 9:00 p.m. from the oval office. if so would he shut the border? we have seen the reports coming in. doctors and first responders are on the front lines, they need help. what do you guys do to protect yourselves? >> first and foremost i wouldn't be surprised if he does declare a national emergency. he has been the calm influence in the face of something that's so massively deadly. he tried to calm the american public. border patrol agents know, we understand we are on the front

line and we are going to be affected by the coronavirus. but we still put that uniform on day in and day out. we just want to insure this virus does not spread and come in across our southwest border. president trump is doing everything he can to give us the resources we need to do that. liz: the supreme court did give the trump administration a victory saying that 9th circuit court of appeal back off on the remain in mexico policy. the administration can move forward on that. your take on this story? >> absolutely huge. it's a game change. we have to have the smrks vp. it will help us in everything we do. good to see you, brandon. thank you for having us in your homes. lou dobbs next on the fox

business network. have a good evening. [♪] lou: good evening, everybody. president trump will be addressing the nation from the white house as his administration continues its raped response to the coronavirus pandemic. the president's address comes on the date world health organization finally declared the virus to be a pandemic. we however were ahead of the curve. we made our declaration two weeks ago that it was a pandemic. the world health organization and other public health agencies have not officially labeled the infection to be a pandemic, but
