tv Bill Hemmer Reports FOX News March 6, 2020 12:00pm-1:00pm PST
12:00 pm
you will see her on "the five" tonight. thank you for being here, tyrus. i will see you on "the five" as with. i don't think bill hemmer is a vegan. >> bill: fish fillet underrated. try it. it's friday afternoon. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer at this hour. marks are taking a beating yet again as the number of coronavirus cases close to 100,000 around the world. more than 200 reported here at home and one hour left in the wild week on wall street. at the moment, president trump on his way to the cdc headquarters in atlanta. we expect him to land this hour as we track the movement there calling on the fed to cut interest rates even more. make sure the u.s. stays competitive during this period. what does it mean for you at home. weave are have two outstanding economists make sense of it. austan goolsbee and david moore senior advisor for the trump team in 2016.
12:01 pm
gentlemen, i said outstanding. i would elm if a sides that word. now, austan, for you, are we half way down? are we not quite half way there? have we hit the bottom? where do you think we are right now? >> on the stock market? i don't know. on the economy, i wrote a piece in the "new york times" today that made the observation that if you look at the u.s. economy we are far more driven by the service sector type businesses tourism and airlines and that stuff in the service sector than, for example, is china. so if we got a dose of the coronavirus, if the outbreak here were of the magnitude that it is there, it would actually be worse for our economy. so, i think all efforts should be on trying to slow the spread of this virus and the public health of the virus because once it gets here, if it's of that kind of magnitude the downside is really really --
12:02 pm
>> bill: let me come back. i think you made an interesting point in the "times" piece today. where are we? are we at the bottom? halfway? do why know? >> first of all, can we take one minute and rejoice over this amazing jobs report today? this was one heck of a blockbuster report. it shows how healthy the american economy was on the eve of this virus. i mean it shows trump tax cut, trade policies and deregulations have been working like a charm. for those who haven't heard 350,000 jobs when you include the revisions from past months. wage gains, blue collar workers. the economy has been sailing high. now, i agree with austan that this is a bit of a -- this is certainly a danger to the economy. but i sincerely believe, bill, that it's not the virus that's hurting the economy. it is the fear of the virus. people, in my opinion, are overreacting. i'm not saying this isn't serious, but this idea, bill, that every sports event is going to get canceled and people can't gather for dinner and you can't go out and everybody is going to
12:03 pm
hibernate in their caves that's ridiculous. >> bill: you point to the jobs market. that was a good jobs report, austan. 273,000. we like that. and you wonder how much of that is baked into what we are seeing right now. >> yeah, well, look, the thing is the -- we have had a tale of two economies. and on one side business investment overall g.d.p. growth, anything having to do with trade, those have all been pretty lousiy. lousy. manufacturing people arguing was already in recession. the great strength of the economy has been the consumer. the consumer confidence is at record highs. and the job market has been strong. if the coronavirus undermines consumer confidence, it's like that's the engine that's been driving everything. one engine already kind of smoking, but the other one has been going fine. if that one goes out, i think we could have problems. >> bill: it seems as if the white house was saying we were built for this slowdown, steven?
12:04 pm
are we? >> the reason i brought up the jobs report is a, to boast a little bit because it was such a great report and it really is a validation of what trump has done. but, also, you know, thank god we have a cushion. look, there is no question, bill, people are going to lose jobs. we are going to see some layoffs in march and probably april. you have seen business kind of hit a brick wall right now. orders are being cancelled. look, i disagree with this idea that somehow this is just a service sector economy. my goodness, look at the construction numbers. they have been fantastic. we have been in one of the biggest housing booms in the country's history. housing has been fantastic. broad based expansion. i do agree with larry kudlow, that this black swan event that none of us ever wanted to see but has happened this virus. at least the economy is in very sturdy shape to deal with it. >> bill: to both of you have gentlemen, once we get past this, what's on the other side of it? do we go back to the big old days there, austan.
12:05 pm
>> i hope so but i don't know. it depends on how long it lasts. if it's like a regular flu season, that, hey, we got to the summer and then it's going to stop spreading as rapidly and people are going to kind of go back to what they were doing before, then, hopefully it would just be a one month, two month slowdown and we would come booming back. >> bill: i would like that. what you have seen in china is a lot of service sector businesses have actually started going broke. because they couldn't survive having their business all dry up for a short period. if that kind of turned into financial crisis, the recession from it would potentially be -- >> bill: you are putting a period of one to two months. steven, do you agree with that? >> we all hope he is right. the answer, bill, we just don't know. we really don't know how long this will last. i think that hopefully within the next two or three months this will be stabilized. and my attitude is, bill, once we do reach a point where people believe it's stabilized and the worse is behind us.
12:06 pm
then i think the economy is going to boom back to life. that has been the pattern in past viruses that have brought a crash in the stock market whether it's sars or ebola. and by the way, bill, i'm not, you know, a stock advisor, but i love the stock market right now with these depressed prices. if you are in the market, bill, for your retirement fund so for five or ten or 20 years if you buy stocks you will love it five years from now. >> i wish you wouldn't say that i wish the white house wouldn't stay stuff like this. >> bill: is this a buy market in. >> they need to stop staying stuff like that. the white house getting up saying it's a time to buy. all you can do is make yourselves look bad and destroy your own credibility by saying things where there is such big uncertainties. we don't know anything. >> all i'm saying is that, yeah, if you are investigating for six months or a year, you may want to stay clear of the market. what i'm saying, austan, stocks for the long run, when you get a sell off like this, what's the
12:07 pm
rule of the stock market buy low sell high. >> bill: my experience, it's a friday afternoon, and the weekend is when families all across this country start looking at their 401(k) and they will start doing that this weekend. we will bring you back. austan goolsbee in chicago and in new york. president trump is heading to the cdc after signing that funding bill earlier today. the president cancelled the trip but now back on and on schedule. john roberts picks up the story from the north lawn. john? >> good afternoon to you. we were expecting the vice president and coronavirus task force to be briefing at this hour. that's been put off until 5:00 to allow the president to get down there to the centers for disease control where he will likely make some remarks the president had canceled that yesterday because there was a belief that a person at the cdc had coronavirus. it turned out they tested negative for it. the president put it back on his calendar. basically telling his people we are flying over it let's stop it
12:08 pm
and see what's going on there the latest count from the cdc 164 people are infected with the coronavirus. 11 deaths. those numbers are from 4:00 yesterday afternoon. our fox news count is 244 people now infected with the coronavirus and 13 deaths. you mentioned the president signed that $8.3 billion emergency spending bill this morning. and as he did it, urged people to stay calm even as the virus spreads. listen here. >> i don't think they are panicking. we have very low numbers compared to major countries throughout the world. our numbers are lower than just about anybody. in terms of deaths, i don't know what the count is today, is it 11 in terms of cases it's very, very few. when you look at other countries it's very tiny fraction because we have been very strong at the borders. >> one of the things that the president is urgently working on right now and that is the people who are on board this cruise ship the grand princess held off
12:09 pm
the coast of san francisco because a man who was on that ship a month ago died from the coronavirus earlier this week. here's what the president said about that. >> ship a lot of things happening on the ship. being are being tested right now. and just spoke to the governor of california gavin newsom. we have this massive ship with 5,000 people and we have to make a decision. >> heading into spring break season a lot of people are wondering if they should continue their plans if they had to fly overseas. the guidance from the administration as long as you are not traveling to a virus hot spot you should be okay. the president this morning said there could be an upside to the u.s. economy if the people cancelled those trips and vacationed here in the united states instead. listen here. a lot of people doing their business here and traveling here and resorts here and having americans staying at home and instead of going and spending
12:10 pm
their money in other countries. >> again we should be hearing from the president next 90 minutes from the centers for disease control and the vice president will take to the stage at the briefing room and give us an update on everything that's been going on with the administration and the coronavirus task force for the past 24 hours. >> bill: thank you, john. would will get headlines this hour next hour and the after after that. thank you, sir. the cruise ship the president just mentioned held off the coast of california. thousands on board. at the moment officials are waiting for coronavirus test results. the ship is ordered to stay at sea after a passenger from a previous trip died from the virus. senior correspondent claudia cowan reports again today from san francisco. claudia, what is the latest there? >> >> hi, bill, this test something being expedited and for more than 3,000 people who are essentially stranded at sea. the results will determine what happens next. for now thousands of passengers are hunkering down in their cabins. about 70 miles off the coast of
12:11 pm
san francisco waiting to hear if this virus is circulating among them. yesterday many pulled out their cell phones as helicopters delivered hundreds of test strips to the ship. pulled samples from 45 people who were identified as showing flu-like symptoms. the kits were flown back to a bay area lab for analysis. california's viral disease laboratory in richmond is one of the most advanced testing sites in the world. once the results are known the state and cdc will determine when and where the grand princess will dock. might be san francisco. could be somewhere else. officials say the location must provide for the safety of the surrounding community as well as the passengers and crew. clearly suggesting there could be a quarantine. again, it all depends on whether anyone tests positive. meantime the ship's captain telling everyone to stay in cabin. they have wifi to stay in touch with family and menus so they can order room service. most of the public areas like the gym and casino are closed.
12:12 pm
not the way these folks hoped to wrap up two week crews to hawaii. there are now 60 confirmed cases of covid-19 here in california. we should know soon if that number goes up. meantime the grand princess was scheduled to return here to pier 27 tomorrow morning, turn right back around and sail back to hawaii. bill, that crews has been cancelled. >> claudia, thank you. watch it from here. claudia cowan from san francisco. at the moment as we mentioned president trump is on his way to the cdc that's in atlanta after he was in tennessee earlier on this day. he saw the damage left behind by a powerful tornado there. in a moment we will talk to the governor of that state who took that tour with the president. also, we are close or are we, to a coronavirus vaccine. should you cancel your travel plans? we have two of the best experts you can find. they will take your questions. we will get some answers because you asked. coming up in a moment. ♪ ♪ as a caricature artist,

and can be severe, and pneumonitis. tell your doctor right away if you have symptoms of severe allergic reactions or high blood sugar while taking piqray. your doctor will monitor your blood sugar before and during treatment, and more often if you have type 2 diabetes. before starting, tell your doctor if you have a history of diabetes, skin reactions, are or plan to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. common side effects include rash, nausea, tiredness, weakness, decreased appetite, mouth sores, vomiting, weight loss, hair loss, and changes in some blood tests. ask your doctor about piqray. >> the bottom line is the press has not been curious about what happened in ukraine, either whether it's dnc involvement or possible roles that hunter biden or jill biden played in that. i'm not the one that put myself in the center they put themselves in the center. >> bill: reaction to a growing story on the hill that is the faith the investigation into hunter biden and his work for the ukrainian gas company burisma.
12:17 pm
today senator mitt romney saying he will vote with republicans to allow a subpoena both joe and hunter biden denied wrongdoing. with me now former assistant u.s. attorney and fox news contributor. how are you doing, andy? good afternoon to you. >> i'm doing great, bill. thank you. >> bill: yesterday romney was against this. what helped him cross the line today, andy? >> i think that senator johnson satisfied him that they are not trying to do a political witch-hunt. they are very sensitive to the idea that they don't want to be seen as an adjunct to the trump 2020 campaign that they have a good faith reason for doing this. and probably most important to the extent any of the information that they are trying to subpoena and otherwise compel production of goes to potential criminal wrongdoing or privacy issues. i think senator romney wanted to be satisfied that that was being done behind closed doors. and the only things that would be done publicly would be things that the committee ought to be
12:18 pm
doing publicly in the way of oversight not of political things. >> bill: a couple of simple pointed questions. is it common to do this behind closed doors and not in public first? >> yes. whenever there are privacy issues and presumption of innocence issues that are raised, it's appropriate for congress to do this behind closed doors and they do because, bill, if they didn't, they wouldn't get much cooperation that lot of matters. >> bill: so what determines based on what they hear behind closed doors as to whether or not they make this public? would you expect that? >> well, i think there are certain things that are very appropriately public. there is a question about whether vice president biden, when he by his own account extorted or pressured the ukrainians into firing the prosecutor whether there was self-interest involved or not. he says they weren't. others say they were. that has to be sorted out. and if hunter biden was cashing in on his father's political
12:19 pm
influence or if other members of the biden family were, that's also fair game in terms of congressional oversight. >> bill: okay, i mentioned mitt romney here is spokesperson about his decision. senator romney expressed his concerns to chairman johnson who has confirmed any interview with a witness would occur in a closed setting without a hearing or public spectacle which is what we just talked about here. what do you think they find ultimately? you have looked at this. what's the issue? >> it seems to me that there is a pretty clear case, bill, that members of the biden family prominently including hunt, cashed in on vice president's political influence. that's not necessarily a crime, but it is a -- it is, in my mind, the sort of thing that oughten be done and should be explored because obviously biden could have a very important position in the government in the future, so that's something people have a right to vet. whether they will be able to
12:20 pm
show that he did -- biden himself did anything wrong in connection with the withholding of the billion dollars, that's a mark key issue because there are a lot of people who say that the prosecutor he tried to move out was someone that our allies wanted out, that the international monetary fund wanted out, that everybody agreed should be out. so i think we should just get the facts and see where the truth lies. >> bill: in 10 seconds it's an election year as well. how is that affecting this? >> >> it probably weren't be happening if this weren't an election year but that doesn't mean it's an inappropriate inquiry. >> bill: thanks, andy mccarthy. >> have a good weekend. >> bill: you as well. in a moment disturbing discovery at the same prison where jeffrey epstein killed himself. what they found and why guards are under criminal investigation again. why the virus outbreak is causing the u.s. military to change its plans. i have major money saving news for my fellow veterans.

♪ >> bill: a loaded gun found inside the same prison where jeffrey epstein killed himself months ago according to the associated press. it reports prison guards at the manhattan facility are now under criminal investigation. from new york city alex hogan is here with more on that. alex? >> bill, well these guards actually found much, much more than just that loaded gun in the prison's cell. mobile phones, drugs and even homemade weapons all discovered inside the walls of manhattan's metropolitan correctional center. word that someone smuggled in a weapon tipping off the bureau of prisons to put mcc on a lockdown this week for roughly the 700 inmates there. that means no leaving their cell no, visitation rights. and no contacts with lawyers. the lockdown however, leading

>> bill: so the coronavirus now infecting more than 240 people in the u.s., killing at least 12. so far the outbreak has spread to 83 countries with more than 3400 deaths reported around the world. we have two excellent guests for you today. dr. irwin red lynner pandemic expert newark presbyterian in new york city and dr. marc siegel medical center also in new york city and fox news contributor. good to see both of you. we have been in a lot of contact over the past two weeks.
12:36 pm
thank you for coming in today. get to the viewers' questions in a moment we submitted them every day this week. there is a quote from the world health organization today. he said this is not a drill, this is a time for pulling out all the stops. is that a fair statement or is that an alarmist? >> it's not a drill. we do have a pandemic. but i don't know what pulling out all the stops means. we are doing people whatever they can. some countries are more limited than others. the message from pedestrian degreepedestrian degreesatpeopl. not like we have new vac screen available. we are doing what we can do already, actually. >> i would add to that they are a bunch of alarmists and saber ratters keep throwing out detective rate 3.4%. look at south korea, an organized country where they have been screening everyone, well over 100,000, now over 200,000 people. they found about 6,000 cases. deaths a little bit less than
12:37 pm
30, that's a 0.7% death rate in an organized society with a great healthcare system. guess that that reminds me of influenza maybe more percentage wise than influenza. it's contagious. no vehicle seen fonovak screen . >> bill: should schools cancel trips to other countries, are there tests that give results quickly for example at an airport? a lot of questions in there take the travel ban first. should there be more? >> at the moment we are waiting to see what develops in other countries we are talking about. clearly the travel ban from china. worried about travel from south korea, from italy at the moment. there could be more. absolutely depends on day-to-day tracking on what kind of incidents they are having and how serious it becomes. and then that leaves a lot of people planning travel to other
12:38 pm
countries. and somewhat of a quandary unfortunately i can't answer right now. if somebody says i'm trying to go to paris in a month from now or madrid. probably okay. if it was today i would go. if it's next week not sure yet. >> bill: travel on the schools. what should parents be thinking, doctor? >> i think they should take heed from what is actually happening. i don't like the idea of closing any schools or churches or organizations or places to go or concerts unless there has been a coronavirus outbreak there unless there has actually been cases people ask all the time should i go to disney world? sure, do you know why in the chances of you getting it at disney world not going to disney world probably the same. wherever you are there is some risk. the risk doesn't increase by travel if we don't know there is a case there. >> bill: jump down to number 5. this on twitter, rod smith writes do officials suspect that there are a large number of people carrying the virus a symptomatically that could be
12:39 pm
spreading the disease unknowingly for example nursing home in washington state? >> yes. and the nursing home particularly interesting problem we had obviously a very serious problem and a death there we had a lot of people that are kept in the nursing home without knowing whether they are positive or not positive because we don't have the test kits. which is an absurd situation because we are putting those other people at risk. those people only can be tested the ones that are negative need to get out of there and go home and be cared for by their relatives. >> completely agree with irwin's great thoughts. if we know who is negative we know who to calm down. i would add one more point this like all respiratory viruses spreads more easily when you are a symptomatic. >> bill: number 6 at what point should people with underlying medical issues avoid travel and/or large gatherings? quite relevant. >> sure, sure. >> bill: based on the headlines of this week, too. >> so older people, like, you know, i wouldn't call older but
12:40 pm
let's say 50's and up and they have serious pre-existing pulmonary disease, they have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and something else going on in their lungs are immunocompromised meaning their immune systems are not working properly. avoid crowds. those people we would tell not to go to disney world hang out at home and avoid crowds. especially if you are spread in the area where they live. >> bill: doctor? >> those are the people that should take the most precautions. i still think they shouldn't stay in their home. they should concentrate precautions it kwra*ers where they think the outbreaks might actually be. >> bill: i was on the sunway yesterday. the gentleman next to me coughed and he sneezed and i moved to the other end of the car and then the woman next to me she sneezed too. and i said to myself where do i go? if i feel that way, imagine the millions and millions of people in this country asking themselves the same question. >> quick answer on that we are moving into what we call a mitigation strategy. irwin and i were talking about this where you really watch out
12:41 pm
who you are coughing and snoozing and wash your hands more. that's going to cut down on all respiratory viruses. the person on subway car mite have had the flu. >> or allergies. >> bill: pollen. >> did he cough into his elbow. >> bill: i only heard the sound. fair clarification. one thing i'm curious about the business that you are in. how do you become an expert on pandemics? what drives to you the story? >> well, first of all, i start off as an expert or great interest in large scale disasters, really big disasters. and that naturally led to concerns about. >> 9/11? >> like avian flu, like nuclear terrorism event, like hurricane katrina and so on. and we have had no shortage of any of those things, including hurricane maria, hurricane harvey, et cetera, et cetera. so once you are in that zone and somebody says well the current threat is this development of a new potentially deadly virus, that gets our attention and then we sort of focus on it.
12:42 pm
>> bill: mark? >> something called surge capacity to piggy back on his point. we have to gear up for things we weren't expecting. are your icu beds available for a new virus? do you have the his pier raeurts and vent laysers that you need? this man is icon disaster preparedness and he gant children's health fund which has saved children's lives around the world. >> bill: gentlemen, thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> bill: we will have more questions, unfortunately. >> we will try to have some answers. >> bill: dr. irwin redliner and dr. marc siegel. thank you, gentlemen, for sharing your knowledge with us today. in the meantime a woman in washington, d.c. has opened up a pop-up shop for virus supplies. prevention kits filled with masks, surgical gloves and sanitizer. they sell for 20 to 30 bucks each. also handing out information sheets from the cdc. here she is. >> i think it's good that we are like a local hub here in d.c. where people can get information and resources because when you see something like thousands of people are dying because of one
12:43 pm

time. >> bill: what did the president's visit mean to the people in tennessee, governor? >> you know, it meant an awful lot. we went out to putnam county, no president has been there before. it's the hardest hit. there were 18 lives lost there and just a couple neighborhoods out in cookville, the town there the president being there meant an awful lot to those people and really to tennesseans. he signed as you know immediately signed disaster declaration, which releases funding and it's really -- it's an honor to be the governor of tennessee and to see the people come together but we are really grateful for prayers and support not just from washington but from people all across america. it's inspiring to see. >> bill: governor, as you know, he is the consoler in chief today with you and now we are seeing air force touchdown touch down in marietta, georgia, north of atlanta he will make the trip to the cdc and we will wait for

his comments from there. sticking to the tennessee for the moment. when you see a storm of this size and magnitude and hit near urban centers like nashville, it's not so common when it happens like that, but it's happened in your state before. what do you need now when you see so many people in your state who immediately went to work the day after the storms passed? >> yeah. you know, i have said before that fema has been cooperative. our state agencies have been so powerful. tema tennessee emergency management agency, the local officials, there has been a really concerted effort together for people across the state. the most powerful thing has been volunteers by the thousands that have come out into the neighborhoods to begin to clean up, to help people, to help people begin to recover. i have said government can do a lot, but it's the people that bring hope. and god brings hope through people, their hands, their hearts, their feet. and we have seen that happen.
12:51 pm
and that's what we need most is for those in the neighborhood to engage and they are doing it. >> bill: i know you have seen this before, maybe on this scale, maybe less. what -- the pictures are just -- they take your breath away. >> yeah. >> bill: what does it look like in person. >> i have never seen anything on this scale. and seeing it up close, walking through the neighborhoods today we spoke with family members who had lost loved ones, i talked to a 14-year-old boy who lost his 12-year-old sister in the tragedy. people's entire livelihoods have been wiped out. it's hard to look at. it's hard to see the rubble behind every pile of rubble is a family or a person. but, again, the hopefulness that comes when people come together when they surround each other, you know, we are the volunteer state from -- that came in the war of 1812 we got named that and that's what we are today. and to see tennesseans come together has been quite
