climbing and popping up in countries today like peru and slovakia. there's good news, covid-19 teams to be retreating in china where it emerged. 99 cases of virus today, the first time it's only had a double digit intercrease sin increase since january. leland: and to determine whether china is telling the truth. and a hotel that had had been set up to observe patients has collapsed. patients were inside and over 70 have been rescued. you can see the ruck in the middle of the night. and ununidentified employee had been said there had been a foundation related construction, unclear what that means exactly
9:04 am
at the 80-room hotel before the sd sd disaster. gillian: what a place to have a disaster like that. she was a passenger on the diamond princess cruise ship and contracted the virus while aboard that ship. and she's back home in utah and joining us via skype, you look wonderful. >> so good to be home. gillian: i'm so happy for you. i can't imagine what a relief it is. what do you want to tell us, you know, all of us here in the news room, all of our viewers at home. what do you want to tell us about how you're feeling today? >> i feel fantastic. as soon as i got home, the next morning, i went on a two and a half hour mountain bike ride. gillian: wow. >> and then i went on a bike ride yesterday and as soon as this interview is over i'm headed out on my bike again and
9:05 am
i've had no symptoms. gillian: that's fantastic news. i want to ask you about what your experience was like while you had the virus. so first question there, did you have some symptoms that tipped off you that you might be positive and what were the symptoms like? >> the night before they got me off the ship and told me i was positive, i wasn't sick in 30 years. and we thought my husband might have because he's immuno suppressed, he's had two kidney transplants. but i had a fever not even 103 degrees the night before and that's it. i have not had one symptom since then not one. gillian: even while you had the virus at its peak, you're saying you still tonight really experience symptoms? >> zero symptoms, none. gillian: wow, that's surprising to hear and it's wonderful to
9:06 am
hear, it's great, you know, to know that some people will contract the virus and sort of be unscathed by it. what was your experience like being under quarantine? i understand you were quarantined in japan for two weeks, so quarantined in a foreign country must be sort of not necessarily scary, but maybe scary. now you're kind of in self-quarantine at home. >> no i-- i was never scared, i never felt any fear. i was well taken care of. we had the-- you know, nobody spoke english, none of the doctors or nurses spoke english. we used google translate, charades. they were wonderful. and eight of them met me and one cried when i left and waved goodbye, reminded me of my mother, until i got around the corner and no medication, i
9:07 am
didn't need any. i was just in quarantine. gillian: have you had to take any medication associated with the virus at all. >> no, none. gillian: nothing, wow, not aspirin for fever-- . >> i haven't had an advil or a tylenol or ibuprofen in months. i don't take them anyway well, after a bike crash. gillian: it sounds like you've been able to stay sort of mentally positive throughout this whole process, which a lot of doctors today will tell you, you know, the psychosomatic experience contributes a lot to how your body reacts. >> it's huge. gillian: is that right? >> it's huge. i got up every morning in the hospital room. they did bring me a yoga mat so could i do some pilates. i got up 1 in the morning to check in with my pilates class in utah. and i stayed activement and i stayed active and facetimed with
9:08 am
my grandchildren. and once i got internet and i binged a few netflix show, it was fine. there was no treatment to give me. they were kind and wonderful to me. gillian: because you've undergone so much quarantine what's your advice for americans who might face quarantine or self-quarantine in the future to prepare. >> the top thing is to not panic, stay off media forums where there's panic. go to the c.d.c., they know what's going on. self-quarantine, seriously washing our face, don't touch your face and knees into your elbow. gillian: are you sure you had the coronavirus?
9:09 am
>> well, i tested positive several times for it so, yes, i am. gillian: we understand that your husband is going to stay hi to us quickly. >> mark, do you want to say hi? >> we're not going to talk to h him. i have to wear a mask. >> please, we're not going to ask him questions, we're going to see him and sail hello, hi, mark, glad that you're home. >> hi. >> glad to see you home and looking wonderful, too. and guys, check back with you, we'll check back one weekend, too, and thank you so much for taking this time to talk to us, it's wonderful and delightful to talk to you. >> it was great. thanks for checking in with us, we're doing great. >> best of luck. >> thank you. >> strong woman, great attitude. leland: a u.s. navy sailor tested positive for the coronavirus in italy marking the first for a service member in europe. the latest how the military and a little of the interagency group is reacting to this. hi, lucas. >> good afternoon, leland.
9:10 am
the first case of coronavirus for the u.s. military not just in italy, but all of europe. health officials are conducting test toss see whether any others were exposed. saying, depending on the results of that investigation, additional precautionary measures may be taken. those having close contact with have been notified and are in self-isolation in their residence. and he says he's planning for the worst. >> we've implemented our pandemic action plans or response plans in every installation, emergency preparedness and even going as far as worse case scenario. >> earlier this week, the u.s. army was forced to scrap an exercise with israeli sources, with the threat from iran not
9:11 am
going away. and they need help testing for the virus. >> do you have test kits? >> no, we don't. that's not just a problem for dod, but i think we're getting to a better place in terms of production to allow us to distribute those out to the force. >> last night vice-president pence says those kits are shipping out. we've been able to provide tests to all the state jurisdictions and labs that have requested it. and i'm pleased to report that allstate labs have the test and now, because of the change that president trump implemented, at the f.d.a. a week ago, now state labs can actually conduct coronavirus tests themselves. >> back here in washington, congress is considering having staffers work from home as our colleague chad first reported. >> lucas, nobody is better sourced at the pentagon than you and evjennifer griffin where yo
9:12 am
stay for the week. they say they're preparing. do you get the sense that they're worried or going through the motions because they have to? >> well, leland, they're preparing for the worst, there's a special task force stood up in the pentagon, but walter reed, and a hiv expert says thservice members and their families are at low risk, but you have to go through hygienics and wash your hands and go through. but because the disease is affecting mostly the elderly, younger people and healthy people as we heard our next guest, don't have as much to worry about, but precautions taken. leland: gillian. gillian: the president is at mar-a-lago today. we're learning more about his decision to tap north carolina congressman mark meadows to replace his chief of staff, his acting chief of staff mick mulvaney. and kevin corke is reporting from west palm beach. what is the word? >> the word is staff changes are
9:13 am
pretty common place especially late in the first term of an administration. gillian, this one seemed a long time in coming when you consider the close nature of trelationsh between the president and congressman from north carolina, mark meadows. given his retirement from capitol hill a chance for him to take on a new platform to serve the country. he wrote this in a statement, it's an honor to be selected by president trump to serve alongside him and his team. the president and his administration have a long list of incredible victories they've delivered to the country during this first team with the best yet to come and i look forward to helping build on that fight for the men and women of america. and replacing mick mulvaney, a work horse who was in several roles, chief of staff and holding the fort at omb. and some suggest that mulvaney
9:14 am
may have fallen out of favor and the white house pushed back and the president tweeted yesterday. with mulvaney moving on for special envoy for northern ireland, he's well record the inside the white house and it should be manageable. something my sources tell me, not you hear very often when you think of senate confirmation and how things are over on the hill. given his experience it's believed he will get the votes needed for confirmation. a bit of golf for the president, we don't expect him to do anything. should he make himself available i promise to tell you all about it. ba ba back. gillian: i don't think that anybody looks forward to the confirmation process. leland: not sure anybody ever
9:15 am
did. gillian: be such to catch chris wallace talking to bernie sanders. check your also listings for the time and channel and media buzz talking about the democratic campaign and also the coronavirus outbreak. that's tomorrow at 11 a.m. eastern, i will be on the palm. see you there. leland: don't miss it, gillian twice in one day. tomorrow at 11:00 and back at 1:00. we're learning more about the tornados that touched down in middle tennessee. one backed winds 175 miles per hour as it moved over the ground some eight miles. this is president trump surveying what was left often times in those kinds of winds, there's not much at all left. he visited putnam county on friday. 18 of the 24 people died in the area that president trump visited. gillian: and the hunt for 18-month-old evelyn mae bozwell may have come to an end.
9:16 am
tennessee authorities found remains friday night on a property belonging to a relative of the young girl's mother. those remains now being examined so officials can identify who precisely they belong to. evelyn's mother and two others were arrested last month in relation to this case. the toddler was first reported missing by her grandfather in february and she was last seen in december. leland: live pictures from st. louis, missouri ahead at a joe biden rally. the 2020 campaign trail now going to the show me state. ellison barber is awaiting the former vp as well. >> six states vote on tuesday, and joe biden is here hoping to keep his post-super tuesday momentum going. senator bernie sanders is in michigan trying to stop it. more in just a minute. hot! hot!

9:20 am
>> a fox news alert. the number of coronavirus cases in new york state up to 76. governor andrew cuomo now giving an update on what they're doing in new york. >> it's in line with what we said about 20% will be sick and may require hospitalization. so that's actually what we're seeing. and there's another piece of data from john hopkins which is
9:21 am
so informative. john hopkins has been doing just a tracking, right? the real question is what has happened to the people who have gotten the coronavirus? this has been going on for weeks now. what's happened to the people who have gotten the coronavirus? john hopkins is tracking just that. this is what they found. 102,000 cases, so far worldwide. john hopkins is working with world health organization, et cetera. 1 is 02,000 cases. mortality rate, 3400 cases. 57,000 recovering, 41,000 sick. over the past two and a half weeks, listen to this, more people are recovering than are getting infected. okay? so it's exactly what we said.
9:22 am
know the facts, be calm. if you get the coronavirus, 80% walk around self-resolved, 20% get ill, maybe hospitalized. senior citizens we need to be very careful of that's why i'm hyper cautious, nursing homes, senior facilities, immune compromised, and of the 100,000 people who have gone through this, that's what the numbers show. so that's what happens if you get it, but we still want to do everything we can to make sure you don't get it and how do we do that? contain, contain, contain. get a lead, chase it down. get a lead, chase it down. find a positive, quarantine. that's exactly what we're doing and it's going very well. leland: remain calm and carry on might be the overriding message from governor andrew cuomo of
9:23 am
new york as he gives an update on the coronavirus. we'll keep listening in to what he has to say on the numbers and update in just a minute on that. >> joe biden is campaigning in missouri this weekend. his chief democratic rival bernie sanders, meanwhile, is getting ready to rally in illinois. ellison barber is on the trial following biden in st. louis. ellison. >> hey, gillian, biden is now leading in the delegate count and his campaign says they've raised at least $22 million just in the last week. the former vice-president phoned into a fundraiser the other day and told supporters that the virginia primary was possibly the most significant thing to happen to his campaign, he said. it showed he can get significant voter turnout. and going to convince voters to show up and vote for him on tuesday. and hillary clinton won this
9:24 am
primary barely. the difference between clinton and bernie sanders was less than 2000 votes. senator sanders is digging into biden's career, and saying that he could cut social security, biden denies that and puts out an ad of his own. >> when i argued we should freeze spending, i meant social security as well. we've got bad news for them, we're not going to cut social security, we're going to expand benefits. >> state after state after state called for joe biden, bernie sanders goes on the attack. biden will protect it for generations to come. negative ads will only help donald trump. it's time to bring our party together. >> biden is ahead in the recent missouri poll, but that poll was conducted before senator elizabeth warren dropped out.
9:25 am
after super tuesday after we saw a number of candidates drop out, they were quick to endorse joe biden. >> ellison barber in st. louis. leland: and mr. brennan, welcome, good to have you. and as we look at this, the large african-american population in st. louis and kansas city, do they break for biden as they did in south carolina and arkansas? >> i think that's pretty much the case, leland. that's what we're expecting, anyway. there have been some decent endorsements for senator biden from some of our african-american leaders, including emanuel cleaver, the congressman and senator jamilaa nashid from the area. and nonetheless, joe biden has received endorsement from pretty much the establishment.
9:26 am
both former democratic governors and mayor of st. louis. and most of the important democratic politicians i would say. we're going to switch as we look to the general election as to how this plays out in missouri. missouri is trump country as we saw that with the election of senator hawley and the role that donald trump played into that. as you get callers into your station, are they talking about sort of unhappiness and they want anybody other than donald trump? if so, are those sanders' voters? >> i would say we don't get too many sanders' callers. some, not too many right now. i think that most people seem to be in the biden camp and we also have some callers, leland, who are trump supporters who are going to vote for senator sanders, a little of that going on. leland: when you say trump supporters who want to vote for bernie sanders not because they're unhappy with president trump, but because they think
9:27 am
that sanders is an easier candidate for president trump? >> exactly. and maybe cause some problems for joe biden, who probably would seem to pose more of a threat for the president. leland: put up the issues that are playing-- we don't have polling from missouri on this, but we have polling from michigan, which many say needs to be president trump-- needs to be bernie sanders' firewall if he has a chance to take on president trump. and this is for the primary voters in michigan, number one they say president trump, number two health care, number three, economy, jobs, number four, divisive corrupt politics. does that list make sense for you for missouri as well? >> it sound pretty familiar. although i would say if you look at the two candidates running for governor, one is nicole g gallow galloway, and the other, crime
9:28 am
at the top. and for democrats, somebody other than donald trump of course. and we seem to hear from businessmen, anyway, inability to find workers. i'm hearing that again and again. the economy's doing really well and right now the biggest problem is finding people who will fill the jobs. leland: the flip side of that is people who are out applying for jobs have a little bit more leverage. they get higher wages, maybe better benefits, et cetera. we talked about this in 2018, the power of president trump as it relates to the economy and his coat tails before the election. as you look at the african-american community specifically. this is where president trump has begun to do more outreach and put trump campaign offices in some big african-american communities to try to grow that support and turnout. do you see that in missouri at all? do you see a swing or are these saladly democratic voters? >> i've seen news reports about that and i've heard that the president is reaching out to the
9:29 am
african-american community, but i haven't heard anything locally. i haven't seen any prominent-- actually haven't heard from any african-american callers, haven't met people on the street who have said that they're behind president trump. i'm not saying that they don't exist certainly, but i wouldn't say that it's not a big wave of support for the president if there is any. i would say by and large, african-americans will feel a little closer to joe biden than -- a lot more closer to the president or to bernie sanders at this point. leland: all right. charlie brennan in st. louis. they head to the polls on tuesday in the show me state. thank you. >> thanks, leland, all the best. gillian: several passengers aboard the grand princess cruise ship have now tested positive for the coronavirus. they and the ship remain docked off the coast of california. claudia cowan is in san francisco where this massive boat is anchored. claudia. >> hi, gillian, that's right,
9:30 am
thewes of passengers waiting to hear where and when they will be allowed to get off this ship after people tested positive for the coronavirus. i'll have an update after this. ♪ ♪ i want to rock!

>> california's governor gavin newsom says the grand princess cruise ship will not come ashore until all the passengers on board have been individually assessed. this as 21 people on board have tested positive for the coronavirus and president trump says he thinks the ship needs to stay quarantined. claudia cowan is in san francisco with all the latest. claudia. >> gillian, the grand princess is expected to dock somewhere in the bay area. we still don't know when or where, it won't be at pier 27 where it was supposed to drop anchor on the return from a
9:35 am
cruise to hawaii. we had the massive cruiseliner is moving closer to san francisco bay, about 20 miles out making it easier to deliver medical supplies and get a passenger who is reportedly very ill off the ship as soon as possible. eventually the plan is to dock it at a noncommercial part far from other cruise ships or passengers and those who are sick gets treated and those others tested. there are more than 35 people on board had he third about the 21 positive test results not from the ship's captain, but from the vice-president mike pence who revealed it at a white house press conference. but passenger says-- >> what's giving us hope is that the system in place, that our government, you know, the c.d.c., we feel, is doing a job and i feel comfortable that they are going to make the best
9:36 am
decision when they get the test results back as to what that quarantine, if there is a quarantine, what that's going to look like. >> those lodge gist-- logistics are getting worked out. and the president says he'd rather everybody stay on the ship. and there was a california man who died last week, and officials say that it's possible those infected now may have caught the virus on that earlier cruise. and now hunkering down in their cabins, passengers have free movie, free wi-fi and menus to order room service as well as a lot of cold and rain here in the bay area, gillian, as they wait to hear where their cruise ship goes next. >> thinking of all of those people docked there. claudia cowan in san francisco, thank you, leland. leland: the number of cases on the east coast is going up.
9:37 am
new york state says now there are 76 people infected. and we bring in westchester county executive. do you have it under control? >> i don't think anyone can say they have to under control. it's diynamic and the good news of the 57 case based in westchester county only one is hospitalized right now and that individual is getting better physically. there have been no fatality. we've seen contagion in our county come out of one individual, and the circle he travels through the religious institute and. it's highly contagious and those that lead to the greatest fatality that we're concerned about. leland: and i guess you could call her a coronavirus survivor, she said she had a fever for a
9:38 am
couple of hours and that's it. is there the probability that a lot of people who could be infected and et cetera, and you don't know about and they don't know that they're sick? >> i think that's what we're seeing in this process. i have one small window of what's happening worldwide. as i understand it 85% of us who get the virus, our natural anti-bodies would defeat it as a heavy cold. >> for the 20% of people that get sicker, some number will have to be hospitalized and most will be home sick for a few days rather than defeat it easily and obviously people with compromised immune systems, senior citizens, copd, or asthma, and senior centers, those undergoing chemotherapy. if we can figure out how to sequester that portion of the vulnerable population probably get the bets results. leland: boy, you think about this. this has got to cost an enormous
9:39 am
amount of money the way you're describing it, spending this money and it frankly doesn't sound a lot worse than the way you describe it than a bad flu outbreak there. >> well, you know what spreads faster than the disease is the fear of the disease, and you know, in a free society, everybody draws their opinions. we're all on social media, we all start to, you know, work in the rumor mill. we're appreciative that the federal government has authorized a certain amount of dollars, billions of dollars, our state of new york under governor cuomo's leadership has passed 40 million worth of allocations. we don't want to raise property taxes, we cut the budget and we need that in order to provide outside services. leland: and here is governor cuomo, echoing your thoughts. >> i'm not couraging calm, i'm urging reality, i'm urging a
9:40 am
factual response as opposed to an emotional response. i'm urging that people understand the information and not the hype. we have more people in this country dying from the flu than we have dying from coronavirus. leland: yeah, every year, the flu in america kills somewhere between 12,000 and 61,000. and i'm guessing george in westchester county, there are more people who died from the flu or will die from the flu than the coronavirus. >> i think the coronavirus because it's new and the way it began in wuhan city, and in china, we're trying at local levels of government, county levels, municipal levels, we're not geniuses or brainiacs. if we have to cancel massive events, we'll do that if we have information that the virus is
9:41 am
spreading in a different way. leland: if you're getting pressure, talking with a reasoned response. are you getting pressure from the hysteria? are people calling saying george, why aren't you-- >> we try to communicate intelligently with people that we have. and try to calm them down. leland: and we appreciate your insiekts and for your hard work as well. >> thank you, leland. leland: godspeed, sir. gillian: a major up-tick in afghanistan is dashing hopes for peace and a former ambassador to the region why he thinks that the talks aren't headed in a good direction. that's kaip next. coming up next. - cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need.

>> the taliban launching deadly attacks against afghan forces just a week after signing a peace deal with the trump
9:46 am
administration. secretary of state mike pompeo saying the violence in afghanistan, quote, must be reduced in order for the peace process to go forward from here. for more insight we bring in former ambassador from yemen and middle institute senior vice-president ambassador. ambassador, you said this week, you said this is all fine, negotiating with the taliban, but really we're not any closer to a lasting, meaningful peace deal? >> that's absolutely correct, gillian. what was negotiated between the u.s. and the taliban is an agreement that would allow the united states to withdraw its forces, but a peace deal, a truly sustainable peace agreement has to come between the afghan parties themselves and we're no closer to that. as you said the violence this week suggests that we're actually, perhaps even farther away from that agreement.
9:47 am
gillian: so you mean basically the u.s., no matter who our president is, is not really in a position to go in and impose some kind of a peace solution, this has got to be between the government and the people? >> absolutely. this is-- this is an agreement that the afghans have to work out. what we've been doing is basically trying to create an environment that would favor that kind of an agreement. the trump administration has clearly decided that we need to move beyond that and really put the authority back in the hands of the afghans. but the united states needs to remain engaged if there's going to be a real agreement. gillian: here is the thing though. president trump's whole m-o when it comes to afghanistan, the broader region is let's get america out of these endless wars. he was elected in large part on that platform. this plan gets us closer to that. so if you talk to americans here that are more concerned about putting troops in harm's way, isn't it a good thing to bring
9:48 am
as many americans home as possible? >> absolutely. and i think that everybody would agree that if we can get american military personnel out of afghanistan, that's a good thing, but it's also important to talk about what kind of context. what's the environment that they're leaving. if we leave-- >> well, you can say president trump and his supporters say there's never going to be a good time to do this. it's always going to be painful, always going to be messy, but we've got to get these people home. 19 years, we're done. >> i can tell you, i was in-- the principal officer in 1989-1990 after the soviet withdrawal when the united states decided that we didn't need to be in afghanistan anymore, we withdrew. the result was 9/11. in 2003, the bush administration decided that they're more interested in iraq than afghanistan, the result was 17 more years of conflict in

afghanistan. the reality is, that what happens in afghanistan is important to us. we do want to get our troops home. they're absolutely right about that, but we also need to make sure that what we leave behind is an afghanistan that's not a threat to us, to the world and most of all to its own people. gillian: is that really a-- i hear you say we want to leave behind an afghanistan that's not a threat, but it's been a threat for decades in terms of stability in the region, national security threats to the united states. it doesn't seem to be changing. >> which is the argument of why you need to be careful how you go about the withdrawal. and again, you know, the important thing about this agreement is what secretary pompeo and others have said, which is that it's conditions-based. in other words, we'll only withdraw on the basis of what's happening on the ground. i think the administration needs to stick to that and make sure we don't simply walk out and
9:50 am
leave the taliban back in control. gillian: conditions-based is, you know-- a conditions-based withdrawal is precisely what president obama put forward. so not much daylight there. ambassador, appreciate it. >> it's a pleasure, okay. gillian: leland. leland: have you seen these kids? we'll tell you why the fbi needs your help finding them. i saved hundreds on my car insurance when i switched to geico. this is how it made me feel. it was like that feeling when you go to high-five a coworker, and you do a perfect high-five. everyone is really excited for you because it was such a great high-five. and then... ...the boss comes in. and she wants one too. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. fifteen minutes could save you kelly clarkson! what're you doing on our sofa? hey there! what're you doing on your sofa?

10:04 am
been found here in italy. total number, gillian, 5,883 cases. actually now 5,061 because about 600 people have been cured but 233 people have died. people have being very careful now to say that those deaths happened with coronavirus, not necessarily because of coronavirus because in 80% of the people who have died here with the virus, they have had two other medical conditions going on simultaneously. now things are so far from normal here. this is saturday evening and quite empty. people are being told to keep 3 feet one from another on normally crowded markets on a saturday have been seen looking very, very thin. people are told by the authorities not to go visit their elderly parents for risk of exposure and that is

10:12 am
we just don't know always know exactly what the truth is coming out of china. again on the homeland security, china hack us 10 to 15 times per day. anything that comes out of china we take with a grain of salt. gillian: have you talked about anybody in the white house about this concern and what are they telling you? >> well, i think the white house is very much aware of it as well when it comes to personal phone hacking, all the different -- china's main goal. gillian: on coronavirus specifically. have you talked with the vice president or anyone on the task force about your worry that china is pumping disinfo about the virus? >> we have, and there are some concerns. we are trying to move cautiously forward with china. we believe that we are getting to a better place. let me add that, i don't want to create more alarm or more fear here but i i think it stands for
10:13 am
good record historically we have to be monitoring the information that comes out of china. had there not been disinformation coming out in the first place we wouldn't be behind the curve that we are today. gillian: in your state, sir, i believe there's two confirmed cases now of people who have the virus, is that right, that's the latest? >> that's correct, gillian, yes. gillian: yesterday the vice president in his briefing pretty much conceded that the u.s. government doesn't have enough tests. we don't have enough tests today to meet what we anticipate will be the demand going forward. now, for days the vice president in multiple briefings have been saying any american can be tested at any time. how do you square that? >> well, i believe the contradiction are those who are in situations where we feel like there's evidence to support a test is needed versus widespread
10:14 am
testing. i think that companies, manufacturers are trying to get it where anybody who wants to test can have one. but i also want to make sure and make this point, gillian, this is a huge concern. we are in a preparation mode. just last calendar year alone we lost 34,000 folks to influenza, to the flu bug. we've had 16 deaths so far, too many, i get that. we want to make sure we are taking all the precautions we can but not create level of fear and panic unjustified at this point. gillian: folks, all agree with you, there's no need to panic, panic can end up americans much less safe when there's an outbreak if there's an outbreak in their community but at the same time, the key here according to officials is to do everything we can to prevent as much spread as possible. so from that perspective people need to not panic but need to be prepared, right, so we don't see tens of thousands of elderly
10:15 am
people dying in the spring which is the numbers that we are forecasting? >> gillian, excellent point and observation. here in north carolina i liken it to a hurricane off the coast and hasn't hit land but what we are trying to do make sure we can absorb it with as little damage as possible. gillian: congressman, thank you so much for your time today. we are wishing you the best, thinking of, you know, the patients with confirmed cases in your state and we really appreciate all of your time today, thank you. >> thank you, gillian, thank you. gillian: leland. leland: president trump has tapped a different north carolina republican, mark meadows is his new white house chief of staff. this makes 4 chiefs of staff, kevin corke in west palm beach as the president is down there enjoying a weekend of r&r, hi, kevin. >> good to be with you, lucky, the biggest is suspecting what he knows about the man, the president himself from relative safety and security and distance of capitol hill and taking that into the octagon otherwise known
10:16 am
as the white house. so just how well might he handle one of the toughest jobs in politics in america? we will find out together but the president had kind words for the outgoing white house chief of staff, former acting chief mick mulvaney. i want to thank acting chief mulvaney for serving the administration so well. he will become the united states special envoy for northern ireland. thank you, with mulvaney out, meadows steps in and he and the president have particularly close relationship and speak just about every day my sources tell me by telephone, sometimes twice a day and the president believes that friendship will translate well into leading his white house team. meadows said this in a statement, the president and his administration have a long list of incredible victories they've delivered to the country during first term with the best yet to come and look forward staying in the fight for the forgotten men
10:17 am
and women of america. mulvaney's departure had been for some time, they acknowledged the commander in chief can be temperamental and as one put it everyone has a shelf life at the white house. certainly you can't argue loyalty or willingness to take on tough jobs. he's held a number of jobs at the white house, acting director of the consumer financial protection bureau, director of the office of management and budget and as you know, acting white house chief of staff all now leading up to his new position as special envoy. with mulvaney leaving omb role ross will grab the baton. he's a graduate state of illinois and tw law, he will be just 14 -- 44 year's old later this month.

leland: stock market capped off one of the craziest weeks in recent memories. coronavirus has really rattled wall street and main street, take a look at 3 major indices on friday. they were down, dow down about 250, s&p off 50, nasdaq about 162. they were down a lot more a couple of hours before the close. this all comes despite the fed's emergency rate cut and robust job's report. and with that we bring economist and distinguished visiting fellow for the heritage foundation project steve moore. >> believe it or not, leland it was a roller coaster.
10:25 am
the market finished up somewhat. at the end of the day it was a little bit up. let's start with real economy. 350,000 jobs when you include the revisions. i mean, the economy was just sailing along. i mean, it was soaring, manufacturing jobs, mining jobs, construction jobs. the latest just yesterday -- leland: steve, we could all agree there's a zillion numbers out there that say that the economy is doing great. now we can also agree that it's hit a giant wall called coronavirus. you've got huge uncertainty about what comes next. doesn't seem like the drop that's now at 12% off the dow is over any time soon. >> you know, you never know. i mean, i think we may see some more selloffs but the -- first of all, the fear of the virus is what's causing this economic chaos, not the virus itself.
10:26 am
i do believe -- >> leland: it's interesting, one of the things that you talked about are rate cuts yet all of a sudden there was a -- half a point cut and the dow did nothing. >> well, it helped actually. leland, the news came out on monday that the fed was going to cut it and the dow went up by 1100 points. leland: right, down 900 the next day. come on. >> the fed made the right decision. they should have done it a week or two earlier and there's probably more need for -- look what is happening with bonds right now. the 10-year treasury, 30-year 1.4%. that indicates there's a lot of fear out there. look, i'm not minimizing what you're saying, you're right, conferences are being -- >> leland: people are looking at 401(k)'s, as you point out enormous fear and uncertainty, is what the market needs is more rate cuts or do they need more information and steady hand?
10:27 am
>> i do think that the fed should cut rates again and put more dollar liquidity in the economy. for people -- you mentioned people with 401(k) accounts, those are retirement accounts. if you're in the market 2, 5, 10 years, you don't want to be selling your stock right now. these are bargain-basement prices. i'm not saying that the selloff is over. people make a mistake and selling in a down market and that's in the a very good strategy. look, nobody knows what the future holds for the virus. hopefully in 3 weeks or a month or two this would be over. the point i'm making, leland, that's why i talked about the job's report, the economy itself is really sturdy and once this thing is over, i think we go back on our merry way. i really do. leland: interesting point, however, you're talking about big-time economic shocks to places like texas, south by southwest cancels, airlines,
10:28 am
hotels. these are service-base industries that employ a huge number of the people that you're talking about in the job's report. hard to imagine they will keep hiring. >> we will see layoffs. that's why the job's report was important. we have a cushion. there are going to be layoffs. by the way it's so interesting because if you look at employers, even the airlines have said we are actually not going to be laying off a lot of workers. you know why, because they know in the tight labor market if you lay somebody off it's hard -- we are not seeing -- so far we are not seeing big layoffs and that's good news. leland: met me ask you this question, though, president trump has tied so much of the election to the economy and talks and tweets about the stock market. my grandfather used to say the
