stuff answered its been amazing. >> i enjoyed being a part of it pete: i'm just here watching you guys work. everybody have a great saturday and we'll see you tomorrow as well. jedediah: have a great saturday. >> president trump's doctor says there is no need for america's leader to be quarantined after coming into contact with two people who later came down with covid-19. so did republican senator rick scott by the way, and he's going to tell us why he is not taking any chances, and it could be a testing breakthrough. now the doctor behind it tells us how quickly people can get it plus, everything you need to know about how to protect yourself, your family, your travel plans, and yes, your money as the markets whipsaw with every piece of news , or on the news, cavuto live, starting right now.
7:01 am
david: good morning, everyone. i'm david asman, in for neil cavuto and you're looking live at the white house where vice president mike pence is leading an emergency meeting after the president declares a national emergency. mark meredith is there with the latest. hi, mark. >> mark: hi, david that meeting should be getting underway moments and the president tweeting he will be attending to get the latest on the coronavirus outbreak. on friday we saw the white house declare an emergency in an effort to bolster state and local leaders to allow them to move quickly in responding to the outbreak, the administration it continues to face questions though about the amount of tests that are out there allowing people concerned to get tested but the president and the white house reassures americans this is what he had to say yesterday. president trump: those families and citizens who are worried and concerned for themselves and their loved ones i want you to know that your federal government will unleash every authority, resource, and tool at its disposal, to safeguard the lives and health of our
7:02 am
people. >> mark: during his speech on friday the president tried to lay out how the federal government is responding he says they are working to establish a web portal for concerned americans but there's been questions about how that's actually happening and also the government working with major chains like walmart, target and establishing those drive-thru testing sites and the government taking steps to help some americans that may be concerned about freezing interest on student loans and increasing contributions to the strategic petroleum reserve. now the president praised his administration's efforts to try to contain the outbreak by canceling travel to china earlier this year and he says it's possible more travel restrictions could be coming soon, as for the president's health, he made it clear friday he's not concerned about becoming infected. december fight repeated interactions with multiple people who are now self- quarantining we've got a statement overnight from the president's physician this is new. given the president himself remains without symptoms, testing for covid-19 is not currently indicated. the president hinted yesterday that it was possible that he could get tested but that statement from the physician
7:03 am
indicates that it doesn't seem to be happening any time soon. as for the president's schedule right now, nothing on the public schedule. he was supposed to be in las vegas today for a speech but that was postponed obviously with given the news the last couple of days but we look and see david, whether or not we hear from the president a couple hours from now. david: well those tests are going out much more quickly now and we're talking about that coming up later in this hour, thank you, mark appreciate it. well the house passing a coronavirus relief bill really in the middle of the night, will the senate pass it on monday? that's the question now i'm garrett tenne y is in washington with the details. reporter: david there are a lot of questions because lawmakers didn't receive the final text until about an hour before the vote early this morning called the families first coronavirus response act and here is some of the highlights of what it does. the biggest thing is providing free coronavirus testing to all americans including those who don't have insurance and also creates a national paid sick leave policy giving two weeks of
7:04 am
paid leave for those effected by the virus and three months of paid family and medical leave for those quarantined while their schools are closed and to help cover those costs businesses would get a tax credit. the bill also provides states with at least $1 billion in grants to help deal with increases in unemployment due to the outbreak. it increases federal funding for food security programs, such as snap, food banks, and providing emergency food assistance to families with kids who normally receive free or reduced priced meals at school and increases federal funding for medicaid. it is still not clear what the bills price tag will be though and that's one of the reasons 40 republicans voted against it. here is one of them earlier on fox & friends. yes this is a priority. yes this is an emergency. yes this something we should have done, however the senate is not taking this up for several more days so why did we need to do it at 1:00 in the morning if this is absolutely such a great bill. >> most republicans voted for
7:05 am
the bill, after it was endorsed by president trump who praised the efforts this morning on twitter saying good teamwork between republicans and democrat s as the house passes the big coronavirus relief bill, people really pulled together, nice to see. the legislation now heads to the senate and is expected to get a vote some time next week though it's not clear what kind of changes the senate will make if any but it's important to remember this is also by no means the last action we'll see from congress, the house has already indicated next week they plan to begin working on additional packages to address the economic impact this virus is having going forward. david: good to see them working together i know they are generally working together very much, so thank you very much in what's being called a major breakthrough on testing for coronavirus, the fda just gave roche pharmaceutical company emergency authorization to circulate a new test simpler to use, much quicker, in getting results, they had already begun production while waiting for fda
7:06 am
approval, dr. paul brown is the head of roche molecular solutions, doctor this is wonderful news. it doesn't come a moment to soon how many tests are ready new for distribution? >> good morning. it is wonderful news indeed. we're delighted that we have the authorization to start to distribute the test to the laboratories offering the testing. as we speak, we have 400,000 tests available and they are starting to ship out immediately over the coming days to the network of testing laboratories around the country. david: well who gets them first would this be er's around the country and hospitals and such? >> so we've worked with the cdc and some of the national reference laboratories and the commercial testing laboratories and there
7:07 am
are about 32 designated laboratories that will be the first to get those tests. the important thing for viewers to know is that of course the testing is very important, but you also have to have the instrumentation, the machines to run the test, so the laboratories that have been selected as the first laborator ies already have the instruments and the capability to start immediately. david: so in other words when a person goes to get a swab that swab then has to go to the centers that have the machines that decide whether or not the person has coronavirus, i'm wondering how quickly you can manufacture, you say you have 400,000 tests now. how many more tests can you manufacture in a week, or a month? >> yeah, so it's a very important question, of course. we as i said we have 400,000 tests available now, and we're anticipating that on average, we
7:08 am
will be able to supply about 400,000 tests per week or roughly 1.5 million tests per month, as we move forward into these testing laboratories. david: and doctor, why the testing, the question of why the testing is so important, i would imagine it's because this way we can find that the general population, where the clusters are, which communities need to be segregated by some method, such as they're doing in new york, that's one reason why these tests are so important to get out nationwide quickly, right? >> that's absolutely correct. the testing and having definitive determination of whether someone has the coronavirus or not is critically important in order to help contain and manage the outbreak, and very importantly, the data that is being generated by this network of laboratories will be fed back to the cdc, so that they can
7:09 am
also look at that data to help monitor and manage the infection and spread of the virus. david: doctor, very quickly the question of a vaccine and also the question of treatment for those already infected. how goes that development? >> that's not something that my company roche is working on, but of course, what we are hoping with this contribution in terms of the testing with our test is that it slows down the spread, contains the virus and that gives people the chance to develop specific therapies and vaccines. so this is about dampening the curve that has continually talked about. david: and the president himself, he just sent out a tweet which was very short for him, just two words, social distancing.
7:10 am
i don't know if we can put that on the screen but that was the most recent terms so we all have to follow the basic procedures and now that the tests are there, we will get a very clear view of what's happening nationwide and congratulations, dr. brown. there is the president's tweet that's it, social distancing. do it folks we need to do it to keep our community safe. congratulations to you, and the laboratories, doctor i appreciate you being here. >> thank you very much. very glad to contribute. david: terrific well president trump says new tests will be going out and that had stocks going up. way up, after suffering the worst day since the 1987 crash on thursday. what will monday bring? we are on it. and florida republican senator rick scott putting himself on lockdown, after brazilian delegate he met with comes down with the virus. so how is he feeling? and what does he think the president should be doing? that senator is here, coming up. retirement income is complicated. as your broker, i've solved it. that's great, carl.

david: stocks ened a wild week with a huge almost 2,000 point gain on the dow on friday coming back strongly after seeing president trump declaring a national emergency and cooperating with congress on a coronavirus aid package. pre-market futures for monday are up but can the optimism be maintained, to fox business susan li, fox contributor gary b. smith and former shell oil president, john hofmeister. susan, first to you. the rally was impressive yesterday, and what made it, i think, even moresoh was when the president began talking with the task force there, really jumped up i thought that was pretty good news. >> susan: i did too, all the private partnerships involving target and walmart and the fact that you had that 1,000 point rally in the final hour of trade on a friday heading into a weekend especially with all of the ups and downs that we've seen in what would you call it very volatile week, of the stock
7:15 am
market? david: i would call it the most volatile work on the stock market i've seen since 1987. >> susan: since 2008, but there's a lot of positives and i realization by investors that things may have been oversold, given the fact that you had a strong economy headed into this and a lot of the recoveries are very sharp. david: gary b., talk about things getting overdone and you often worry and i think correctly so about congress and politicians over doing responses to crisis like we're in with the virus. do you think that they've overdone it this time? >> well it's tough to say, because you know, we don't know what the final details are going to be in this package. i think it's important. there's really two things there is the economics and there is the morale. the fact that they want to do something, i think, is good. it makes people feel hey the governments got our back. now, as you imply, what typically happens is the government just kind of like we're saying on bulls & bears
7:16 am
last night, they just fly over the country with a helicopter full of money and spread it out and hope we see green sprouts. so its got to be targeted and my fear is that they start to say oh, we're going to bail out a cruise lines that be the obvious and airlines and then well what about retailers? what about fast food restaurants so i think it's good they want to do something. my fear is that it won't be targeted probably at hourly workers minimum wage workers who probably need it the most. david: fair enough john then we have oil. something you know a lot about and we had this extraordinary move by the saudis and russians. first it was a fight between them but then it seems more like they are cooperating to really bring the price of oil down tremendously. now these numbers don't indicate
7:17 am
what's happened to the energy business in america because it has gone way, way down, this was on friday when there was a recovery, but the price of oil has dropped down to less than $ 32 a barrel that's great news for consumers and we love it when gas prices are down, but it is really devastating for u.s. oil companies, right? >> well it is, and in addition to the $32 price or sub-32, the saudis are selling oil five to $7 cheaper than that, to the european marketplace, so there is a serious effort underway by the saudis to buy market share and get their oil place leaving others out in the cold especially russia and also the u.s. , but the boom for consumers is great, but the damage and perhaps long term damage to the u.s. industry is also profound and here you have putin and you have mbs, and
7:18 am
frankly he's betting or gambling the future of the kingdom in what he's doing because they can't sustain operations for the whole of the kingdom, where the $32 oil price let alone a $21 oil price. david: let me just ask then, it's a game of chicken. whose going to blink first? can u.s. oil producers that we care a lot about after all there's 6 million u.s. jobs tied in with oil & gas, from producer s all through to the retail et cetera, we don't want those jobs to be lost. will they be lost, will they out last us in terms of their game of chicken being played? >> well the oil industry is a long term business with short-term implications. in the short-term, the only way to reduce amount of production is to stop drilling, and to stop producing. that in itself, david, takes months to do that. you just don't turn off oil wells because you could destroy
7:19 am
the engineering that's gone into that well. so you have to be very thoughtful because everything is technical in the oil industry. you can't just run in and shut off a switch and say donald send everybody home. you have to have an orderly transition. david: right. let me just go to susan for a second because the fear, susan, of course is that a lot of these companies will need to be bailed out or this emergency infusion of cash to keep going. >> susan: airlines and carnival cruise lines and all of the cruise lines are the ones being targeted you heard that from steven mnuchin, the treasury secretary this week , testifying in congress. but he doesn't want to call it a bailout. this is not tarp in 2008. we're not bailing out general motors or the big banks just a little bit of help to get them through the tough period when people are not getting on the planes or cruise lines. david: we've got to move on but we'll her more from our panel here.
7:20 am
there's a lot of economic stuff. self-isolating just in case what does republican senator rick scott say to critics who feel the president should be doing the same as he is. senator scott joins us next. there's a company that's talked to even more real people than me: jd power. 448,134 to be exact. they answered 410 questions in 8 categories about vehicle quality. and when they were done, chevy earned more j.d. power quality awards across cars, trucks and suvs than any other brand over the last four years. so on behalf of chevrolet, i want to say "thank you, real people." you're welcome. we're gonna need a bigger room.

david: we have a fox news alert , governor andrew cuomo from the state of new york has just announcing in a teleconferencing call that he will have that the state of new york will have a second drive-thru testing center. this one in long island. we already have one in new rochelle and the governor just announced that 150 people have gone through that. you might know that in new rochelle there is a cluster of coronavirus victims for whatever reason, and part of that city is in lockdown, and that's why this drive-thru is so important, 150 people tested in new rochelle and a second drive-thru
7:24 am
in long island and again, because of the testing availability now, because of these new tests, we will probably be seeing more of the drive-thrus all through the united states. well meanwhile, louisiana officials delaying the state's upcoming primary as the covid-19 pandemic worsens. ohio's primary is set to go on as planned this tuesday but not without precautions. ellison barber is in columbus to tell us more about it. reporter: hey, david yeah, voting in ohio is going to proceed as normal, polls open here on tuesday, at 6:30 a.m., early voting that's happening right now, they did move relocate some polling locations that were in areas where you have more vulnerable populations in nursing home environments, community-assisted living areas they relocated all of those poll s in all in franklin county they have 330 polling locations, as you said, are taking steps to make sure that not only are all of their poll worker states but all of the voters are as well. you walk in here a little bit with me you can see some of what they are doing in order to get
7:25 am
ready for all of this. the people are doing an assembly line putting together supplies, gloves, kleenex, as well as disinfecting wipes that they can then send all of the bags and supplies to the various 330 polling locations, across county and in addition to that they have a lot of individual glove on your finger where you can see some of them here that way working at the polling location have the options as well as people am coming in voting they will have hand sanitizers when people walk in and -- david: all right, we're having some, i was pointing to my ear, we were having some difficulties with her microphone. it's interesting to note those people didn't have gloves on but that's beside the case for another day. all right we're going to be talking to ohio governor on how he plans to keep voters safe this tuesday, that's later this morning but first, a number of lawmakers under self-
7:26 am
quarantine after meeting with brazilian officials in mar-a-lago last weekend. brazil's president and two other diplomats have tested positive for covid-19, florida senator rick scott joining us now from his place, of self-isolation. he joins us from the phone center, scott, i hope you're doing okay any symptoms so far? >> no, i took my temperature again this morning and i don't have a temperature, so excellent i called the president on monday and there was an investment conference i introduced him at so i was in the same room with individuals that tested positive so i'm doing this out of precaution and i want to make sure that i don't have an adverse impact on anybody else, so our doctor, my doctors have told me that i have a low risk that i don't need to test since i don't have any symptoms, but as a precaution i'm going to do this. david: senator we're looking, forgive newly-released but looking at a picture of the president and of course he was at the same meeting you were and that leads to the question,
7:27 am
should the president be self- quarantined as you are? >> well he was with the president with the day before, at a dinner and sat next to him, and so that's a decision the white house is going to make the president with his doctor, but i made the decision just out of a precaution to make sure i don't have any chance of impacting anybody else, and i don't believe i'm going to get the coronavirus, but i'm not going to take a chance and we all meet with a lot of people. david: you don't want to make a recommendation to the president? >> no, look, i made a big recommendation with him. i've been making them almost every day this week. i'm glad that we're getting these mobile testing sites open and i've got two counties in florida doing it new york is doing the right thing. david: by the way the virus aid package which passed in the dead of night and is with the senate first of all are you going to be able to vote seeing as how
7:28 am
you're self-quarantined is there any way to do that remotely and secondly would you vote for that aid package? >> i'm getting a breaking today on that i haven't seen all of the details. we clearly have to help our businesses and especially help the people that are impacted like our uber drivers people that rely on tips so we've got to help them but the biggest thing we can do is get a control over this coronavirus, so i've talked to senator mcconnell about whether i can vote or not and i want to vote, as long as i don't have any chance of interacting with anybody else, so if they can set that up i will be there to vote at the right time. david: very quickly you're in a unique position because you were in the hospital business and you're of course also u.s. senator. hospitals as you well know are right now close to overwhelmed i talked to the chief of emergency medicine at mount sinai yesterday and he said we are already overflowing. how do we handle that? >> well what's happening is it depends on where you are in the
7:29 am
country. i talked to hospitals this morning they said in texas they don't have it but in new jersey they have an issue but their issue is really they're losing their workers to quarantine because people walking into their hospitals and testing positive for coronavirus , but what we've got to do is get these mobile testing sites open where the person that tests you has protective gear on. that's what we have to get done all over the country. david: bingo and of course great news now roche is churning out these things at 400,000 a week, and they will get out to the site so that will happen. not a moment too soon senator scott we wish you the very best, glad you don't have a temperature and we hope it stays that way. >> well have a great day. david: thank you, you too, senator. well stores are running out with panic buying setting in. we're going to be talking to a ceo to see how he's trying to meet the demand. that's next. and the week the sports world stood still. hey, momma what's up?

7:35 am
is all just a temporary pause. >> i think it'll come back. i think within a month, they are trying to figure out how to prevent it from spreading within the teams but i think overall, i think it's going to be back too much money. reporter: what won't be back any time soon is college basketball. the ncaa canceling march madness altogether. there will be no games played in that tournament. the ncaa generates almost $1 billion in rev into you from that tournament alone a lot of that coming from broadcast rights, with no games, nothing to televise, they won't be seeing money, david? david: grady thank you very much so plenty grocery stores facing outbreak histeria at some stores as shoppers flood the aisles and empty the shelves , stu leonard jr. is the ceo of the grocery store and a voice of reason, in all of this chaos and he joins us live from one of his stores, stu, i can see the top three-quarters
7:36 am
of your face but i really appreciate that. that's perfect. but it was great to see the live action shot as well. have you had any fights at your store? >> no, no, we haven't but we had lines when we opened the store at 7:00 a.m. this morning, and it's almost like a holiday right now, the way people are in a frenzy stocking up on food. david: have you made any provisions, just in case, things get out of hand between shoppers >> well what we're trying to do is just keep the shelves full and i don't know, dave david, if you can see the meat is what's going crazy. we have a live it, i'm in connecticut and she drove from new jersey to come here. i should have told her to go to paramus, but i don't know if you can see in the back there, can you see them? david: yes, now i can. all of the meat is like really flying off the shelves. i put together like a little top 10 list i don't know if you can see that right there. can you see it?
7:37 am
david: you have to come down but tell us what's on the list? >> okay, we got milk, do you know what else? cottonelle flying off the shelves and i don't know why toilet paper is so big. they say they are using them for masks or something? but that's been a big thing, chicken, frozen fish that we have, and do you know what else? we have this coffee that's double the caffeine. it's called the double-double. it hasn't doubled its tripled in sales right there. david: wow that's extraordinary what about dry goods, stew? i know you focus on fresh food but how about the dry goods? >> well here is one thing i don't know if you can see it like these organic beans, we got trailer loads of them coming in right now. same thing with tuna fish that's really hot, and things also like
7:38 am
this , like butter. you can freeze butter, you know? so butter has gone really fast but all of the staples is moving , people are staying home and not going out. that's what i'm finding talking to customers this morning they want to cook at home right now, and all of the stuff you would normally have for your breakfast , lunch and dinner you have it at home because the kids are out of school also. david: right, stew any break in the supply lines or your supply chains still coming in with the foods you need? >> we're doing fine since we buy direct from the farmers, we're getting fresh food in, we're seeing a little hiccup in the spring water and i was talking to our buyer rick this morning and he said the reason we're seeing a hiccup is so much of the fallen production they can't get enough drivers to drive all of the tractor trailer. david: stew leonard you were doing a magnificent job, i just have to tell you this was really
7:39 am
one of the best real live expressions of what's happening in our stores that i've seen so far but final comment, go ahead, stew. >> i just want to ask you what are we doing tomorrow morning? david: what are we doing? you and me? >> yeah! yeah. david: well listen i plan to go out to stew leonards and spend some time getting stuff just in case. i mean again, that's the point is that you have to be prepared just in case for a 14-day quarantine and that's why people are doing this but with people like you i think we'll sail through this without that much of a problem. it's a crisis, but it's one we can get through. >> i hope people can try to maintain a little bit of the normal lifestyle right now, and we're just doing our best to keep the stores clean. we're wiping everything down, and we're just trying to help our customers through this tough time right now. david: you're an american hero, stew and thank god there are thousands others like you around

david: kind of makes you emotional, i guess, did you see that? italians breaking out in song despite a nationwide lockdown, and some tragic images coming out of a country that has lost over 1,000 people to the virus. fox news correspondent, amy kellogg is in florence, italy with more on how they're coping, amy what a beautiful back drop you have for this shot. reporter: yeah, david and that flash mob shouting between the balconies really does make
7:44 am
you think of those old movies in sunny italy with people shouting and singing across courtyards to one another. people are trying to make the best of a very grim situation, and frankly, those complaining of cabin fever at this point are the lucky ones the healthcare service is so overstretched at this point with doctors and nurses working day and night under very difficult conditions, and there was another flash mob specifically for them on the balcony today. people came out nationwide at noon to applaud the doctors and nurses and others on the frontlines of this crisis. healthcare as i said especially in the north has been stretched to the limit and not only that but doctors and nurses themselves of course have gotten sick and infected their loved ones. this photo of a nurse collapsed at her workstation just kind of sums it up. now of course not just
7:45 am
restaurants and cinemas are closed but even parks today on a lovely spring day in italy and that is particularly tough. pope frances prayed for parents with children couped up at home today. he's been praying for people struggling with this whole situation, daily. now in florence the world famous gallery has started a facebook channel for virtual tours. it has reportedly been a hit and you know, david as i'm sure you do as you're a world traveler you have to line up very long in front of that to see that so perhaps this is another one of those silver lines with this new setup for virtual tours of one of the world's most famous fall ares. david: our prayers really do go out to the people of italy there's tragic stories but wonderful to see their positive spirit come through. amy thank you so much for that. president trump banning travel from europe to try to contain

the virus. this is day one of that ban, so what should you do if you if you had a trip planned or anywhere joining me is travel expert mark murphy, mark good to see you. >> you as well. david: i hope this is true but that airlines are offering free schedule changes is that right? >> yeah, they are waving change fees, and they are letting people change their flights but within specific timeframe they have to rebook, so each carrier has their own policies not mandated by government, so they have to step in and just talk to their travel agent ideally if they booked through a travel agent because they are the crisis manager when stuff like this goes down or if they book direct they are out on very long to get things squared away. david: how about hotels? you know there is when you book online, you see something should i buy insurance, and a lot of people say gee, maybe i won't buy insurance because i'm sure i'm going to go, are they waving fees as well if you haven't bought insurance? >> so what happens is if you're booking just the hotel stay
7:47 am
that's part of a bigger package then the hotel has its own cancellation policy typically up to 72 hours before you arrive in some cases 6:00 p.m. the day of arrival so rare that you need to worry about that because you have that flexibility, so ii wouldn't concern myself with that in the case of travel insurance unless you have insurance that says cancel for any reason which is a 40% premium on average over baseline , travel insurance, you can't just get your money back because you're afraid to go somewhere, unless the government says it's a level iv, do not travel, then you have the ability and it's typically fulfilled by the actual travel supplier, many cases not technically the insurance company because they don't need to step in if you get your money back from the supplier. david: then we're looking at cruise lines and we see the pictures and we know that the ones that really have been, the princess that had to dock outside of san francisco, i mean, they are giving not only every penny back to the passengers but offering them free rides in the future. what if you have booked passage
7:48 am
on a cruise line? is it all money back? >> yeah so the cruise lines are giving 100% credits or in cases like this with bonuses on top if you rebook they want to keep that booking but if not they are offering you 100% refund and almost every case, and again you've got to go look at the way you booked it and if you booked it directly with the supplier you need to talk to that supplier if not get the travel agent because they booked a vast majority of cruises for instance get them to work on your behalf to get your money back. i believe this will pass, i believe 90 days you'll be okay, and you know, we've been through this before, for whatever reason , this is really crazy right now, but i feel very good about the summer, and i also think you'll get unbelievable travel deals to lure people back david: one travel deal you can do on your own is get in the car and drive off because gas hasn't been this cheap in years and it's going to get cheaper before it gets more expensive so if
7:49 am
you're booking domestic, if you have some little place in the country or your friend does , now is the time i think you'll see a record number of cars on the road for next couple months. >> and you will see for six months my 36-foot renegade rv on the road, and i'll be self- quarantined in my renegade. >> thank you, david. david: so are our enemies capitalizing on this crisis? how the former commander of the uss coal says we should hit back, that's next. tv sports announcer: oh! let's go to a commercial. not another commercial! when you bundle your home, auto and life insurance with allstate you could save 25%. the more you bundle the more you can save. what? bundle and save. click or call for a quote today.

david: well three american troops are wounded after a u.s. base in iraq was hit by a
7:53 am
barrage of rockets overnight it's the second time this week the base has been attacked and it comes just hours after the u.s. launched retaliatory air strikes against an iran- backed militant group believed to be responsible, so how should the military respond this time? our guest is former uss coal commander kirk liphold. commander great to see you again , unfortunately under these circumstances this clearly, by the way, was not an isis attack. we know that, which points the finger directly at the iranians, no? >> absolutely, when you look at general mckenzie whose the central command commander, he's made it very clear that these iranian-backed malitia that are operating within iraq are in fact being aided and supported by the iranian government and the revolutionary and therefore when you draw that chain back while we will hold the malitia thible i think he's also right in saying that at some point, iran must also be
7:54 am
held accountable for once again killing americans. david: you know, any attack is unacceptable, but an attack under these circumstances you have to believe that they think that this is now is the time when we be distracted by the virus, they could take advantage of it. that makes this double despicable does it not? >> well it makes it very bad because number one, our enemies are willing to challenge us but we also need to be mindful that iran is truly suffering under the crush of the coronavirus. consequently, they are going to want to do something to distract from the inenterness of their own government and failure to take care of old people and the way they do that is to try and create conditions where we would have to attack them and then they can try and stir up nationalism and while that may be a factor at the end of the day, the lives of americans are what's mattered. you kill an american, we're going to find out who did it and hold not only those proxy groups accountable, but also the
7:55 am
iranians. david: do you know what? forgive me, commander. what's extraordinary is that they are a being tariffing us after we have offered as the president announced this week, our help in helping them deal with their coronavirus problems which of course are very deadly over there and this is the payback, we get for our offer. now we should mention also, commander, that they are suffer ing tremendously as a result of the price of oil coming way down, really crashing as a result of the saudis and the russians pumping more oil out, and that leads to desperation and desperation very often leads to dangerous behavior with these people. >> it does and it's not with the people of iran. it is clearly with the government who are in a brutal dictatorship, under a they okay radicals it, the reality of it is they will do anything, and these attacks clearly though show they are going to do whatever it takes to stay in power and consequently
7:56 am
that does not mean we should back off and not hold iran accountable for what they are doing because at the end of the day, the question needs to be asked, if not now, when. how many americans have to die before once again, we react? so i think for those who think let's not start a middle east war, by the same time, both in iraq to contain the malitia and if it escalates in iran itself. david: yeah, absolutely. commander it's great to have you here talking about this , it is a desperate situation. i hope we get the word out to the iranian people that our beef is not with them at all. we are here to offer all the help possible, that we can, for their crisis, with the coronavirus. our beef is with the people that are attacking our soldiers thank you very much for being with us commander appreciate it. more colleges shutting down and going online, for the rest of the semester. meet the professor who says that plan may not actually work. and with coronavirus cases going up will u.s. hospitals be able to meet the demand, a top doctor

8:01 am
barnett. let's head to blake berman at the white house. blake, the president declaring national emergency over coronavirus and the markets they love it? >> they love that and part of the economic message that the president spoke about afterwards as to what might come next in terms of the economy. let's break both of these down. first off national emergency declaration, essentially see freeing up as you know is at the forefront of tackling coronavirus. this would allow for increased beds, national emergency. the president it would unleash tens of billions of dollars. we also heard on the economic side of things, david, that the administration was weighing several options that they wouldn't need congress help for and we got two of those from the president today. first off, student loans,
8:02 am
whether you have a job don't have a job, whatever your financial situation might be, youever you live -- wherever you live in the country it's something that impacts you. interest on student loans will be waived. don't have to make interest payments. you know what has been happening to shell producers and within the oil industry, so i ask the president when it became to question and answer portion, exactly what might come next on the economic front. watch here. thank you, mr. president, you just mentioned waiving interest for student loans, you talk about buying oil from the fpr or adding to the fpr, what other specific-targeted measures is your administration thinking about taking. treasury secretary mnuchin said
8:03 am
it's just second inning. >> that's true. some of them have been written about widely and releasing paper in about 2 hours stating quite a few other steps, very important ones. blake: so, david, we could be getting more from the white house tonight. the treasury secretary today saying it's just the second inning. another massive headline, so many questions about drive-thru testing. why it's happening in this country and google is developing a website which will be released later this weekend if you feel that you have a symptom, you can go to website, fill out the questions and it would point you as to what you should do next and whether or not drive-thru testing would be part of that equation. separately the big box stores, the big box health providers talking about walgreens, cvs.
8:04 am
private entry teaming up with the government to get a fix as to how to tamp down. separately, david, we heard from the president he's not experiencing any symptoms from the coronavirus suggest that he might get a test here in the very near future to absolutely rule that out. there have been questions about interactions at mar-a-lago last week when he was the brazil delegation, a member member next to the president has tested positive for the coronavirus and the president suggested that he too might get a test and also stressed as did others that you don't necessarily need a test at this point if you're not feeling symptoms. david: i love the fact that
8:05 am
drive-thru testing will help a lot of the businesses that are located in the same place. it's fulfilling two purposes. blake: maybe go get a test or gallon of milk. david: exactly, exactly. this is a president that understands the private sector and that's playing in and out the way he deals with this. blake, thank you very much. panel, let's get a reaction, first of all, liz, the markets move up. that was the biggest jump of the day. that's a very good sign. don't you? >> the markets were up 1500 or so as he poke. the biggest thing that happened in the past several dais and anecdotal evidence points that people got scared, we can't get tested. it looked like the government was really falling behind the curve in terms of helping us get a handle on this thing. i thought president trump's approach bringing in the private
8:06 am
sector and showing it just isn't 40 people on the task force working on behalf of america, it's all of private enterprise, it's google, it's wal-mart. this was genius and i really think more than a financial stimulus. we want to neglect that the -- to know that the right people are running the show and that's the point. >> that's what makes our public so great, why, because the government cannot operate alone. the expertise is in the private sector, we have seen partnerships with google, cvs and the entire healthcare system and that way we can mobilize quickly and restore confidence not only in markets but in the american people that the government is actually working for them not only to handle the situation but also working on a package to make sure that, you know, their needs are met in terms of student loan relief, possible payroll tax relief. these things are to keep
8:07 am
consumer spending but on supply side keep small businesses operating. >> with respect to both of you, i mostly disagree with what you said. i don't think the administration is doing is a bad thing. anything that it can do to help with the crisis is a good thing. i saw very little. i have seen very little evidence of genius here, liz, in any way. i think the markets did respond well because, in fact, really for the first time in this crisis the administration is doing something that's very meaningful and showing by the way that they hear how scared people are. i completely agree. addressing the health crisis is job number 1, number 2, number 3 and so on. david: gary. >> i disagree with adam on one point.
8:08 am
genius isn't what is called for, what was called for was leadership. >> agreed. >> if there's one thing everyone would agree with when america puts its might behind it we win the big wars. david: bingo. >> that's what trump was doing today, i do agree with adam on the one thing. this is basically, we will have a helicopter full with cash and fly over the country and sprinkle it down and hope it works. who is to say that, you know, student loan relief is bigger issue than, you know, the super markets or any other crowded venues, the verizon center in dc getting relief. there's a lot of the company that will seize up and we will not cover through fed purchasing and the relief from the interest. that's not going to help.
8:09 am
david: clearly -- gary, clearly there's going to be problems that we will have to deal with and will probably have a negative quarter i suspect. we can see that the stores are all closed so there is going to be an economic -- we can't avoid the economic neither can italy, neither can germany. hold on a second. the president put out a plan where he had the private sector getting involved much more than the plans coming out of congress.
8:10 am
thank god. you may actually move that needle. you guys are not very popular but opinion. >> yes, sir. david: there's a beautiful city in your state called camden. how are the folks in camden doing? >> our governor responded very well. he's closed the schools in kershaw county and the medical schools in south carolina has been early adopters to drive-thru testing. they tested last week about 3 days ago, i looked forward having multiple sites but the governor's response in kershaw county has been superb. david: congratulations on working well the other side of the aisle. that's very much needed.
8:11 am
appreciate it. we will see you later. >> thank you. david: stocks soaring on friday, will stocks continue to recover monday if congress strikes a deal. my guest knows about crisis, former new york's -- chairman dick grasso joining me on the phone. dick, good to talk you. you guided the most remarkable recovery of any market in history i think after 911. do you sense that it's possible now that people seem to be working together and getting tests up online and maybe the market has faced the worse? >> david, great to be with you. i'm very encouraged by yesterday's performance, not
8:12 am
necessarily simply the 2,000-point rally but 1300 of those points came as america watched this president together public and private sector, put aside politics as senator scott just said a moment ago, how rare a moment in the country currently that nancy pelosi and the president -- david: i love you dearly but we do have breaking news. i have to go to it. in massachusetts, update on coronavirus from the governor. governor of massachusetts, charley baker, let's listen in. all right. unfortunately we don't have the audio. i hope dick grasso hasn't hung up on us. >> i'm still with you, david, you can interrupt me at any time
8:13 am
and particularly for the president. david: dick, i have to ask whether or not traders -- okay, now -- now we have the audio. let's listen in. this is the governor of massachusetts. >> i ask everyone to please use their heads. get a few extra items when you go out. perfectly appropriate, but filling your basement with 2-years worth of can soup means your neighbor will have to go without. responsible planning advice you can always visit mask.gov/noplanprepare. for the vast majority of people approximately 80% of the population covid-19 would mostly feel like the flu. the infection would not lead to hospitalization and your body would fight the infection and recover, but the reason we are taking this so seriously is because it is incredible by
8:14 am
contagious, much more contagious than the flu and it is especially dangerous for people with certain preexisting conditions and senior citizens. our administration is working with the federal government to analyze the facts, use the guidance of the world health organization, public health officials, the cdc and world-class hospitals. we anticipate there will be more cases of covid-19 but we also know our healthcare system can be better for the people who need it. wash your hands, avoid crowd, cover your cough and pay attention to the medical guidance, that is how we push back on this disease and make sure that the number of people who contract it remains manageable, but we truly are in this together and if we are now to practice good hygiene, keep surfaces clean, engage in social
8:15 am
distancing and do the common sense things that we've all been talking about for the last few weeks, we can make a difference. now lieutenant governor are joined today by entire cabinet because responding for this disease is going to involve just every corner of state government. wewe are also going to continueo meet the needs of residents and, of course, continue to operate state government, but i do want you to know that starting now we are standing up coronavirus command center and headed up on full-time basis by hhs secretary marie and the team of experts will focus solely on pushing back against disease and expanding testing capacity and distribution and quickly responding to the needs of our communities, expert teams will work to expand lab capacity for testing, planned quarantine operations, coordinate across government, respond to needs of local health, monitor supply
8:16 am
chains and identify search capacity in our healthcare network. the command center will be made up of representatives from the department of public health, the emergency management center, the department of labor, transportation, the nbta, mass port, multiple education agencies and our public safety agencies. the command center will have complete authority and discretion to tap whatever state funds are necessary and this includes the $15 million that was recently appropriated by the legislature specifically to battle covid-19. the common wealth most single point of strategic-making, by convening decision makers from the facets of state government our administration will be able to ramp up dedicated response to this developing and evolving situation. when this is a primary and important step in our planning and preparedness and strong
8:17 am
complement to the work that's been underway for weeks across state government to keep people safe and healthy. setting up this dedicated team will also ensure that state government can continue to run on a reasonably uninterrupted basis to meet the need on those who rely on us every single. i know i speak for the cabinet the hard work of so many state and local workers go unnoticed and in times like this when we must pull together that the sacrifice and dedication of all of our state and local workers is on full display. one final note, i want to remind everyone that in addition to the role we all have to play in pushing back against the virus, there are other things we can do. call your neighbors, your friends and your family members. a friendly check-in can go a listening way right now in helping somebody through their day. as a reminder, you can always visit mass.com/noplanandprepare.
8:18 am
with that said i want to turn the podium over to secretary and talk about command center and other updates. >> good morning, thank you, government. lieutenant governor and my colleagues in the cabinet. david: okay. that was the briefing from the massachusetts government there. governor charlie baker giving us and we had to take that live. some of the most vulnerable americans to covid-19 are our veterans. what are we doing to protect our heros, secretary shalkin joins
8:19 am
us on that. we see the retirement at senior facilities, but if it's happening in va facilities that's really a concern, what are we doing to focus on our veterans areas where it might happen? >> i couldn't agree more. there are about 20 million american veterans, many of them are older. we actually have 350,000 world war ii veterans thankfully still living but many korean veterans, vietnam veterans are getting older and so they are at higher risk. the department of veterans affairs has more doctors and nurses and facilities than anywhere and they prepare for these types of things, but we do have many nursing home facilities with veterans in them. we've seen some outbreaks begin to happen. we have seen some hospitals or doctors working va hospitals, so
8:20 am
being prepared and making sure that we are doing everything possible is essential for the department of veteran affairs. david: now, i was reading a piece yesterday that suggested that the va only had one thousand tests available for its veterans, is that still the case because we had this very exciting news today that roche is going to be turning 4,000 a week, are they going first to va facilities? >> well, each of those tests are capable of treating 100 patients so the va is actively treating patients but as more tests become available. , as there's more commercial availability of it, more veterans will have access to testing and i do think that this public-private partnership that we've been seeing is so important and particularly for the department of veteran affairs to be able to get help from the private sector but also the department of veteran affairs being able to help where there might be overdemand in the private that the department of
8:21 am
veteran affairs could step in and help. david: now, veterans help each other more than than anybody else. i mean, they work with each other, they were brothers in battle together, are you having, are you using veterans to help other veterans who might be at risk? >> well w i think you're absolutely right. veterans are always reaching out for each other and that's particularly important since many veterans who will be at home are at risk for social isolation and we do know that social isolation is associated with depression and anxiety and we want to make sure that we are looking at physical health of veterans but the psychological. david: absolute. mr. shulkin, thank you very muc. meet the governor first to make that call the #1 selling

david: tensions escalating in iraq today, pentagon saying 3 americans were injured as dozens slam near baghdad, same base that was hit earlier in the week and resulted in deaths. lucas with more on who is behind the attacks, hi, lucas. >> good morning, tensions are escalating, same base that was struck on wednesday. this time no americans were killed but 3 were wounded. yesterday the head of u.s. forces in the middle east described against defending against rocket acts. >> they know we are looking and actually i don't have enough isr to be everywhere all of the time. the truck was probably covered until second before they set timer and ran away.
8:26 am
you have a very limited time as missile-loaded truck. >> 25 rockets were fired in latest attack today, this time not from a truck but launcher behind cement wall. the latest attack 3 days after 2 americans and british army medical were killed located 17 miles worth of baghdad. the video shows aftermath of u.s. air force jets used by hezbollah the iranian-backed militia, carried out attack wednesday and officials likely carried out attack today. mckenzie has two aircraft carriers. it's not clear what the u.s. military response would be but i would not rule out a quick strike some time later on. david: lucas, thank you for the
8:27 am
news, lucas, from the pentagon to congress, the house passing a bill to extend the fisa court ahead of this weekend's deadline. the senate is expected to vet on it -- on monday. the bill does include some reforms but former acting attorney whitaker those reforms do not go and joins me now. matt, great to see you. you know, when you think of -- when you think of all of the mistakes that the fisa court made and the russia investigation signing off on altered fbi documents on the trump dossier which, of course, was never verified by the fbi and all of this leading to the spying on u.s. citizen at least one if not more, a lot of people just justin: get rid of the courts if they've gone that far to accept stuff that's not true, what more have they done that we don't even know about? >> right, everyone needs to remember what horowitz found as the fisa abuses and doj and the
8:28 am
fbi have tried to clean up some of those mistakes and this bill, i think, goes some distance to address the concerns about civil liberties and individual privacy that should be addressed and i know that as senate takes it up there's a chance that there could be some amendments offered by rand paul and mike lee that would not allow the fisa but at the same time we can't have them used against the president or american citizen like they were in 2016 and and i'm going to be very interested as how the bill is improved in the senate and ultimately they need to reauthorize the 3 areas, one is the idea of a lone wolf actor that could be considered an agent of a foreign power when they are sympathetic and very important and necessary tool. i think the wiretaps where
8:29 am
people are using burner phones to avoid surveillance to avoid surveillance. david: well, the president himself has indicated that he would veto the house bill as it is now so you're not alone in objecting to the words now, but from what you're saying, what i'm hearing you don't want to throw out the baby with the bath water. there's something about fisa that's worth keeping despite that awful mistakes that they have made. >> there needs to be a difference between foreign
8:30 am
agents and american citizens and that's where i think we got into trouble and i hope that they can improve this bill in the senate and have it so we don't lose tools that's are important and necessary and supported by law enforcement. david: what would you tell attorney general barr about what is bad in the house bill. a couple of points. >> well, again we don't see what happened to carter page happened to others and the idea that you can collect evidence in a fisa situation, a fisa warrant and then use that in article 3 courts for criminal prosecutions, i think it's a
8:31 am
very dangers standard especially since the fisa thresholds are lower and i know that those are who are trying to improve this and find the balance where we keep tools and use them for their proper purpose. david: all right, let's see if mr. rand paul could whip it into his shape. former acting attorney general matthew whitaker. >> thank you, david. david: first to close k12 schools, what is ohio republican governor mark dewayne doing to helpn us protect schools. he's up next.
8:32 am
8:33 am
8:34 am
8:35 am
david: president trump's travel ban was put in place on europe on last night as new guidelines were issued from americans flying back from coronavirus hot spots. marian raferty at los angeles international airport with the very latest on that, marian. >> we are here at los angeles international airport. usually the terminal would be packed with people, 48 people come here during given time, on a normal day you wouldn't see empty chairs. we do see groups coming from time to time but definitely nothing like it usually is. it's painfully obvious that people are staying away and not going anywhere. as of midnight friday, all flights from europe are suspended.
8:36 am
so the last people that are coming in had to have come in before midnight last night. they will be coming in throughout the day. now, president trump spoke about the travel ban on friday during his emergency declaration, david, that's all for now, thank you. david: all right, we have breaking news, senator chuck schumer is commenting on the first death in new york as a result of the coronavirus. let's listen. >> hardship throughout america and throughout new york state. there's a crisis in this country and we have to move quickly so i'm glad that congress took the lead last night and passed a proposal that will really help and it's a proposal aimed at the people who need help. it's not taking money in an airplane and throwing it out and hoping a few dollars land when the people need help, it's directly aimed at them. this is what the proposal which i worked very closely with nancy
8:37 am
pelosi on is. it strengths, free testing for coronavirus. if you don't have the money for a test and you walk around with the virus, that's very bad for everybody. it strengths food assistance for the elderly who need help and for the school kids who aren't getting school lunches. safeguards the medicaid benefits. i will get to that in a minute because this press conference has two parts, one is the national and one is the effect on new york and i'm doing the national first. so this will help all the states and localities with benefits. it also enhances unemployment aid, so if you lose your job, you can get the aid quickly and the criteria can be loosened so many more people can get it and finally it establishes paid leave. there's 14 days of sick leave, you get full payment and then there's 3 months of family
8:38 am
leave. if you are staying and this applies to you if you're sick to you if you have to stay home because of loved one is sick or because your kid is not in school and someone has the stay home to be with the school. so it goes for as long as 3 months. the first two weeks are full payment, the next are two-thirds , and companies will get reimbursed when they lay this out for people, okay. so this is an important plan and i'm so glad that congress came together. the ideas that we had have now become law. despite donald trump underplaying the crisis, pointing fingers of blame almost irationly, not knowing the facts, not stating the truth, he had to go along with what congress wanted.
8:39 am
when the crisis first occurred he only wanted $2 billion to solve it in the initial package for vaccines and for the things that are health agencies at the federal level needed. i called $8.5 billion, we voted and was signed into law 8.3 billion. very close to what we asked for. 5 days ago i wrote to the president and said call national emergency, he did it yesterday and maybe most important these are the 6 things that last sunday nancy and i said are needed and that is what is in the package, so the bottom line is congress is leading the way, speaker pelosi and i and -- david: all right, senator schumer announcing what we already knew about the passing of the house bill that the senate will vote on on monday. chances are pretty good that they will pass it and the president would sign that and, of course, he was getting pretty
8:40 am
political there so we figured he said what he needed to say. meanwhile schools are closing all over the country in an effort to contain the covid-19 virus including in ohio where polling stations have been moved from nursing homes. seems to make a lot of sense. tuesday's primary still on despite some states postponing them. governor, good to see you. i'm sure you're sympathetic with the problems of the new york government right now trying to deal with its first death. are governors working together, share plan that is they have particularly in light of the availability now that we will see coming this week of those tests? >> well, no, absolutely, we are sharing information and we are working closely with the trump administration. in fact, we got a waiver yesterday we are happy about in regard to we close our schools as you reported. now the concern is how do you get food out to kids.
8:41 am
they gave us a specific waiver to package the food and take it out. it's up to the local school district how to do it, but they were very fast, within within 2 hours, less than that and got supplies, notification of supplies coming in. look, everybody is in this together and we are sharing information and we are sharing with fellow governors. we are all in this -- we all got the same challenge. david: we do. we do. we got to come together in a similar way. we will get clear numbers of how many people have been infected. your department of health head amy atkins said this week that, in fact, a hundred thousand people are carrying the virus in the state of ohio, that's extraordinarily high figure. do you standby her figure? >> well, we -- what she said is
8:42 am
that some modeling would show at this point that that's what we have spread and we have a lot of people in ohio that have that. last night i shut casinos, we are talking to people in regard to day care and if you can take your child to take them out and there's ways to segment different groups, that's certainly a way to do it. you mentioned about voting, we have been voting in ohio since february 19th, we continue to vote, polls are open for anybody watching from ohio, polls are open today, they are open sunday and monday and tuesday is 13 hours, 6:30 in the morning to 7:30 at night. they're open and we did move polling places, we moved out of nursing homes. that made no sense and also schools were closed so so that
8:43 am
we are not mixing on tuesday, we are not mixing people with the kids and vice versa and we are taking dramatic actions. david: let's hope that testing show it is not as high. that would mean the numbers for the united stateses is -- as a e would be extraordinarily -- real quick, sir. >> no, i just want to say i think the key here is though, experts who have looked at this and modeled this that without intervention, without us doing those things we would expect in this country to have 40 to 70% of the population eventually get this. so we are trying to take the numbers down and that's -- that's why we are talking about big numbers because that's what unfortunately we are looking at. david: well, governor, we wish you the very best, you and the people of ohio, very near and dear to our hearts and we are praying for you, thank you very much, governor, appreciate you

david: in about 15 minutes we will hearing from vice president. he will be talking about the latest developments of the coronavirus task force and very interesting development in prepping for that -- for that press briefing which you will see at the top of the hour. we just got a statement, out of abundance of caution temperature checks are being performed on any individuals who are in close contact with either the president or vice president. this is from the deputy press secretary to the white house, so again, everybody -- everybody is getting the checks. we still don't know whether or not we will get a test, an actual test of the president
8:48 am
because he was meeting with someone who was infected last weekend. we will keep you updated on that. meanwhile lawmakers are stepping up calls to make drugs and medical supplies here at home as the outbreak exposes how reliant we are on china. susan li and gary b. smith. susan, it really came as a shock to a lot of americans that as much as 80 -- some people say -- >> 90% david: david they are threatening us right now? >> 90% of the ain't -- antibiotics and the reason drugs are so high that drug companies pass on research and development costs onto americans. you will pay the high prices, why not get drug independence from it, right? david: gary b. shouldn't we make
8:49 am
some intervention here to bring the manufacturing of these critical drugs back home specifically when the chinese governor, the communist party in china which controls everything says is threatening us, saying that we will let them drown in coronavirus if they try anything against us. >> you know, david, there's always a trade-off. i disagree with susan. one of the reasons that we have china make this is like we -- we export any manufacturing, lower cost of production, so unlikely that ibuprofen or amoxicilin would be lower in price. you have to remember there's two fronts. we also export to them a number of finished drugs to fight cancer and things like that. hurt us, we hurt you. but in the end -- >> if they cut off the supply
8:50 am
and 90% to have antibiotics is okay to you? [inaudible] david: just a second. gary, we don't have much time. susan and then gary. >> why do you want a foreign government have control of your health and the americans' health? >> you could make the same claim that we should be an island over here and not depending on china for steel or food or anything like that. you go down a slippery slope, who knows where it ends david: david guys, thank you very much, sorry we had to cut it short but we have breaking news. more chemos shutting down and moving classes online but are they really to handle the move. meet the professor who is ready for change, ready or not he's

david: just to remind you in about ten minutes we will get a briefing from the vice president, vice president pence talking with the coronavirus task force and fight against the virus. many colleges and universities are closing for additional classrooms and moving to online settings amid coronavirus outbreak. sean joins me now to talk about this and professor, you're not a big fan of this or at least you say we shouldn't do it unless we are ready to and a lot of professors don't know how the make a switch from the classroom to a virtual classroom, right? >> that's right, so i certainly understand that we might need to move some of our classes online but i don't think for a second that we can believe the professors can do this on the turn of a dime.
8:55 am
david: if you can't have human contact do you dismiss classes, at least this is better than nothing, no? >> that's right. we are 60% through the semester. a lot of us have put plans to make sure this can go as smoothly as possible. we can't expect that people can be told one day to -- to put their class online and do it the next day. some universities are doing it a lot better than other university david: university of texas, maybe not the best thing in the world to take a sabbatical for a while. students can go home and help parents out because problems with the coronavirus, maybe helping the community and go back to school when this passes. >> i think that is probably
8:56 am
true. a lot of us are reimagining what classes are going to look like, i don't think any of us can think we can be demanding as we have been in the last couple of months but i think it makes sense. we are 60% through. we can get this done. we just need a little bit of help. david: professor, we wish you the best. thank you for being with us and by the way we are expecting 4 minutes from now press conference with the vice president and the coronavirus task force. we will be covering that live. stay with us. we will be right back. ou could . then you can decide how you'll spend it. schwab manages the complexity with automated, tax-smart withdrawals. that you can start,
