speak with sidney powell today, that there is documentation that they actually have not received yet from the doj. we are going to have to wait and see on general flynn. >> sean: thank you, will always be fair and balanced. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham. how is your ski vacation? i don't see a boot. >> that was about 36 hours. it was interesting. >> sean: laura came back. she had a daughter-mommy ski vacation. and i thought ingraham is not coming back alive. she's going to be in a hospital. broken leg. 15 days, the american people stick together. we can go a long way to saving a lot of lives. >> laura: yeah, i think so. tonight i'm going to talk about how we can avoid this type of massive disruption of our economy and their health care system and the safety and security of the american people

going forward. sean, you have given people a sense of perspective about what is really important. we are going to continue that tonight. >> sean: great show. welcome back early. you'll find time for your vacation when this is all done. >> laura: i'm not important right now. the american people are. hannity, thanks so much. i'm laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle." the trump administration taking drastic measures, sean was talking about, as we've all been documenting. to protect americans against the spread of this coronavirus, including by the way a restriction on international flights. the question a lot of americans are having tonight is domestic travel next? the acting dhs chief chad wolf, he's going to explain why perhaps the panic that has set in about that fact is not warranted. the coronavirus aid packages hitting a snake on capitol hill. why hasn't it gotten to the senate yet? what's in the bill? senator mike brown is here and congressman andy biggs and

mark green. there's no denying that the stock market took a massive hit today. steve forbes is going to his plane why there's actually a silver lining to this. can that be? also raymond arroyo is here. the impact the coronavirus is having on the 2020 election and why did joe biden's virus plan seem so familiar? first, lessons learned. that is the focus of tonight's angle. this has been a very difficult time for all of us in america. we know this pandemic has led to massive economic losses and disruptions to your daily life, all of our daily lives. now we have lost more than 80 americans now to this disease. over 4500 are infected. those numbers will increase as more testing becomes available. the dow jones had the worst day in its history, dropping almost 3,000 points. that is despite the fed slashing interest rates to near zero. the phrase social distancing is

now burned into our consciousness. we will never forget that one. and most of the country is seeing school shutter. we working parents have child care issues on top of all the other problems we are dealing with. parents who live paycheck to paycheck, they can't afford child care. >> is this the new normal until the height of the summer? >> we will see what happens. they think august, could be july, could be longer than that. >> laura: while the new federal guidelines about public gatherings should be abided by of course, taken extremely seriously, we'll have to take them seriously. we must not allow this to become the new normal. once we reach the other side of this current crisis. we have heard that phrase, new normal, a lot today. tonight i'm saying that if we learn correct lessons from all of this, in the future we both can keep our people safe and preserve our freedom. our way of life. and yes, our free market. a virus or anything for that

matter that occurs in another country should not be allowed to collapse our economy and completely offend our way of life. the freedoms guaranteed under our constitution cannot be gutted every time any country acts negligently or recklessly, including a country like china. what if this virus or another one pops up again in the fall? are we all going to be told to shelter in place for another long period of time? 15 days, maybe a month next time? does that mean we are going to close public schools again? all schools? what was he a grocery store panic buying resume? citywide curfews, delayed elections. if this becomes the new normal after we deal with this virus and we have to deal with this now, will we cease to be the america we know and love? there are the obvious short-term lessons like washing your hands, wiping down your bags, no coughing other people's faces which we already knew that but apparently we didn't and we know

it now. if we don't learn the right long-term lessons, we could face a recurring cycle of misery and shutdowns when something happens it's really bad in another country. here are a few of the important lessons to prevent this nightmare from happening again. this goes far beyond the get tough china policy of this administration. we need to move to get into a real approach to china. for two decades i've been on tv and in the print media with only a handful of others warning about the dangers of globalization to our workers, to our core industries. our national security. now our national health is on the line too with globalization. what did they call us then? they called us isolationist. i say it's better to be called an isolationist than to be forced to isolate at home. last week, chinese officials hinted that they could cut off

all antibiotics to the united states. last week european countries began banning exports of key medical supplies used to combat covid-19. smart nations know in emergencies, they need to protect their own first. the chinese people live under an evil regime, and it seeks world domination. we cannot and should not trade away our lives and our livelihood in reliance on them. so that means we have to do whatever it takes to bring back our manufacturing of medicines, drugs, and other key technologies to the united states of america. made in america, you bet. my mom used to say it. we need more made in america back in the 1970s and boy, do we need that kind of approach now. thankfully the trump administration seems to be

taking this lesson to heart. >> the president personally asked me to move quickly on this issue. the va, hhs and the department of defense by a mack a ton of medicines, medical supplies and equipment. we need to have them buy that from american producers on american-styl'stoil. >> laura: someone says prices for goods will go up if we bring this manufacturing back, remind them about the trillion set up and wiped out in the last two weeks. because of the coronavirus. it's a huge, huge series of losses for american families in american business. lesson number two. we can no longer allow the rabbit left in america or greedy businesses in the is in this community to run our border and immigration policy. today reporters were asking questions about when are we going to shut the northern border. what are we going to do with canada?

even guatemala and mexico are seeing my border enforcement and border health screening are really important now. the wisdom of trump. people are kind of catching on. when we did angle segments of the last two years about the rise of tv and other diseases coming across our southern border, we were vilified, as were others, as anti-immigrants. that criticism was a vicious lie. we were being pro-american. just like everyone who's urging strong action now on four entries coming into the united states. they are worried about america. so are we. everyone except joe biden. >> the first 100 days of my to administration, no one, no one will be deported at all. >> laura: with that answer last night, how can anyone think that biden would be tougher than trump in instituting strong measures against covid-19? lesson number three. health screenings must be

instituted at all u.s. entry points. a good friend texted me last night who was traveling from kurdistan trying to get back in the united states and this was his text. "screening before u.s. flights is very long but ridiculous. they didn't ask any questions or check temp. here they checked temperature on the plane with thermal visor and then again at the airport." apparently we have improved and are beefing up screening to some extent. this has to be done at least from china and europe now on a permanent basis going forward. i was thinking, if we can do facial recognition to catch terrorists and other criminals trying to come through our ports of entry now which we can, surely we can screen at least somewhat for disease and illness going forward. again, so we don't go through what we are going through right now again. america without technology, someone reminded me of this, without any technology, we had

common sense at the beginning of the last century. remember coming through ellis island? we had people completely separated from the american population until it was assured that they weren't going to bring disease into the united states. in the early 1900s. we did it then. we can figure out a way to do it efficiently now. i say all of this tonight not because i want to point fingers are rehashed. no, no, no. because our freedom of assembly, our freedom of worship, our freedom of movement, of travel, none of that is going to mean anything if we have to shut down our society and destroy our economy every time another health crisis from abroad threatens to overwhelm us. so we have to be thinking not only how to get through the immediate crisis which the trump team is doing and they are doing a great job of now at this point. we also have to prevent similar emergencies, crises, challenges

from hitting us and overwhelming us in the future. after pearl harbor, what did we do? well, we knew we had to do something. we built up our military and heavy manufacturing to win the war. after 9/11, we made some mistakes for sure. we have talked about that before but we expanded screening center airport and we improved our terror database. enter tracking. after this new battle is finally won by us, and ravages america which it's doing right now. we will need to implement sound and permanent policies to make sure that we don't ever have to suffer through this kind of thing again. 15 days from now we are going to be closer to warm weather. that we hope will do more to stem the movement of this virus. we will be closer to widespread testing. and closer to the clinical trials and what we will find out with the vaccine testing. that's all good. and we hope that we begin to see

the flattening of the infections curve. that is essential. but we also have to be making preparations. so that will be -- we will be in a much better position to avoid this from ever happening again. the media, some have been enjoying this moment. that has brought great inconvenience, disruption and suffering. to american workers and families let alone all the health challenges, the deaths and the infection rate. because some people think it's trump's downfall and they are cheering that on as they did during mueller and all these other crises. but as you will see later, the left doesn't have a great response here. testing snags notwithstanding, trump has mobilized an aggressive effort to tackle it. the democrats answer is usually we should do what europe does. okay. right now europe is closing its borders. canada and others are closing their borders as well. as i was telling you, even countries like kirk to stand are

doing thermal visor checks at airports. it's worth remembering that when trump shut down travel from china, remember who was criticizing it. >> we will not stop. travel from europe or any other part of the world. we may slow it. we will not stop it. this disease could impact every nation and any person on the planet. >> laura: he was just tweeting the other day, last thursday, that walls won't stop the border. are we to believe that biden would've supported trump's moving more aggressively against travel in january? of course not. yet trump's decision likely saved thousands of lives. anthony fauci said it was a critical part of the decision-making. not only that, for decades trump had been warning about china's impending dominance in manufacturing. the democrats and the chamber of commerce g.o.p., they laughed at him. they laughed him off as a candidate and then they

dismissed trump's america first agenda during his presidency. well now, how does that look now? donald trump looks pretty prescient on that. we are going to get through it will get through it together. let's make sure we learn the right lessons in the meantime. and that's the angle. joining me know, and i'm delighted, we have been hearing that trump was considering restriction not just on international travel but now on domestic travel as well. here is what he said about it today. >> are you looking at any domestic travel restrictions? i know that has been on the table before. is that coming up? >> we are not really. we hope we don't have to. we take that -- hopefully we won't have to do that but it is certainly something that we talk about every day. we haven't made that decision. >> laura: joining me now, acting homeland security chad wolf. mr. secretary, the president said he has no plans as of now for domestic instructions but he

said everything is on the table. is that something that's close at hand? is that something dhs is prepared for? >> as you heard the president say, it is something that we continue to look at certainly in the task force. there are no immediate plans for any domestic travel restrictio restrictions. as i often say, we like to keep all options on the table. as the virus continues to evolve in our medical strategy continues to evolve, that is certainly something that we will take a look at. i will say that we see overall here in the domestic aviation sector come about a 30% drop in traffic to date when we look at this time, same time last year. the airlines are certainly pulling down as demand falls. we will continue to look at whether we need to impose any specific travel restrictions here domestically such as we have done in the international context. >> laura: mr. acting secretary, what happened on sunday night in chicago? it seems like it was a lifetime ago but sunday night, saturday night i guess is when i started

seeing it. thinking i better get back home. he was a real backup. as my friend said, coming back from istanbul, he didn't get pressed with questions about his temperature or where he had been. it was very hodgepodge, the screening as he was entering back into u.s. and going through customs. so what's going on there with the screening and the temperature taking? is it not being taken? >> last friday night we began travel restrictions from europe. what you saw in airports on saturday was the first day in dealing with it. it was a three times as much traffic from europe as we saw from china, so we had to adjust our operations which we did. just yesterday we had an average wait times at funneling airports of about 27 minutes. we have seen a lot of improvement that we did from saturday to sunday. there's a number of other countries that folks will travel

from that don't get the medical screening. the president has decided to input those from china, iran, europe, u.k. and ireland coming up today. we will continue to look at other countries that we need to impose the travel restrictions to look at that enhanced medical screening. >> laura: mr. acting secretar secretary. when you put the restriction in place which was really smart and i'm glad we did it come of anything we could have done it sooner, but everyone would've criticized you if you are done it sooner. but given that, why wasn't there any, it's obvious there was going to be a big crush at the airport. why wouldn't people be 6 feet apart or limit people's entrance to the airport so they are not all crowded together, perhaps spreading the virus. >> one particular concern at chicago o'hare. the other 12 airports the process is working. we had a process issue at chicago and we fixed it in a matter of hours and that we saw

the next day, wait times were minimal. 27 minutes average wait time. we fixed it and we will see another large surge of individuals coming from u.k. and ireland that will have to enhance medically screen as well but i'm sure we are up to the challenge will continue to process those folks. >> laura: if carg kirkus stan -- >> we are looking at a variety of technologies. we have a large population volume coming in. this weekend, saturday and sunday we have enhanced medically screened the passengers, quite a work load. we will look at whether we need to expand those restrictions and the screenings. >> laura: the report about the southern border, you have stopped a surprising number of chinese trying to come into the country and then people still

getting into the united states, trying to claim asylum. what can you tell us just about the border and borrowing chinese from entering the country? >> whether it is the southern border or northern border, it's a real concern on how we impose travel restrictions. what i can tell you is any given week we have between 7,000 and 9,000 people illegally entering our country. these are individuals that have no medical history, no travel history. they often don't arrive with any identity documents. it's a real concern. they come in traveling in poor conditions. perhaps in tractor-trailers from stash houses and the like. >> laura: i'm sorry to interrupt but we are almost out of time. are they being immediately sent out of the country? we are in a national state of emergency. the democrats are always saying they should stay here and be processed. in detention centers. don't they need to be sent immediately out of the country in the state of emergency so we don't have more problems in our health care system? speak with that's exactly right

and we are taking look at that. we have a set of laws. >> laura: taking a look at it? it should have been done. it should have been done the first minute that the national emergency was declared. mr. secretary, i appreciate your coming on. you guys are working 24/7. thank you for informing the american people. up next, scientists are saying that they are developing a vaccine for the coronavirus. it could take months and not be implanted for 12 to 18 months. what if there is already a cheap and widely available medication on the market to treat the virus? according to a new study, there is such a drug. the study found that they use is showing favorable outcomes. faster times to recovery and shorter hospital stays. cdc research shows cloroquin has

strong potential. while we wait for a vaccine to be developed. tonight, joining me now is one of the coauthors, gregory romano. how big a game changer could chloroquine be if we began using it promptly? treating americans highly at risk, the elderly and people already compromised. >> thank you for having me on. let me start. chloroquine and hydroxy chloroquine are generic drugs traditionally prescribed in tablet form. they have been around since world war ii. they are on the world health organization list of the most essential medicines. they are generally accepted as safe, especially hydroxy chloroquine has a better safety profile than chloroquine. we see in both the south korean and chinese treatment

guidelines, we don't have clinical trials yet from there. they both say use chloroquine as a treatment. when i am here to report and i'm kind of front running in the room apologizing that we are in a state of emergency. [in thiindistinct" he's going to publish it in the next few days that in a controlled clinical sf patient taking chloroquine and taking nothing as a placebo. the patients taking nothing our heroes. within a matter of six days, the patients taking hydroxy chloroquine tested negative for coronavirus, covid-19. in that same time, the patients that took their control tested positive. it's a well-controlled study. we need to proceed here is a global well-controlled study to

demonstrate its effectiveness so medical doctors are comfortable prescribing it worldwide. the most important thing is that this is likely ineffective treatment by our eminent infectious disease specialist. specifically we have a strong reason to believe that a preventative dose of hydroxy chloroquine is going to prevent the virus from attaching to the body i just get rid of it completely. functioning. >> laura: that is a game changer. it's been used against sars. it's a well-known antiviral, everyone knows that who's going to maybe africa or other places where malaria is a problem. i took it a couple years ago. i've taken at four times. three times, three different trips to africa. i always took chloroquine. it's the generic. you can get other brand names of it. this is about $0.05 a tablet.

again, we want this to be done on a global scale for controlled study that's a bigger study group. this could really buy us time and it's critical that this be done and that the administration through the fda, they have cut red tape. they can continue to cut red tape and fast-track any other study of this that we have to do but especially for compromised patients and the elderly. gregory, you are giving us information a lot of people weren't aware of. thank you very much tonight. a number of states are taking drastic steps to contain the coronavirus. several have called out the national guard. new jersey is telling residents to get off the streets at night. fox in philadelphia, jennifer is standing by. she has more of the story. >> is very quiet here.

a lot of businesses affected, this gym behind me me use to be open 24 hours a day. we saw someone try to get inside it, unaware that gyms are closed indefinitely throughout the state of new jersey. we talked to a restaurant owner down the street. he said he had to lay off roughly 40 employees today. as customers are no longer allowed to dine in at restaurants. they are offering take-out only. we talked to one of the servers laid off, a single father of a 1.5-year-old son, concerned about what is to come, unclear how long these restrictions will last. trying to come up with an alternate career perhaps as a handyman for the time being to be able to come and some money for his son. back to you. >> laura: jennifer, thank you so much. >> the house bill exams companies of 500 employees or

more from paid sick leave requirement. 64% of the american workplace. >> we are looking at that. we may be expanding. we want fairness for everybody. we're looking at that through the senate. as you know, the senate is digesting the bill. we may be adding something. >> laura: president trump today addressing a major sticking point in the coronavirus aid package that was put forward by house democrats. now the aid package heads to the senate. this comes on the heels of treasury secretary steve minasian meeting with g.o.p. senators -- steve mnuchin. we are delighted to be joined by a couple people. we have two congressmen. andy biggs, one of our go to people when it comes to talking about the minutia of these bills. what's maybe not so good and good in them. and mark green. congressman bigs, let's start with you. there's concern on the part of

some of this aid package isn't enough and it doesn't move fast enough and it doesn't give money to people who needed them most. it takes too long to kick in. met romney and senator tom cotton want to send checks right to affected americans. romney wants 1,000 bucks to go to every american i believed. and cotton wants a check to go to the people hit hardest. congressman biggs, what of those ideas? >> i think senator romney's is bad and mr. cotton is kind of getting closer to the point because this bill, the way it rolls out, if you have 51 employees, this bill is going to really hammer you. 51 to 499 means you need to provide extra paid leave and medical leave and they are going to give you a refundable tax credit but by the time a lot of these businesses get their refundable tax credit, think

about 55 employee restaurant, they are going to be out of business before they get that tax credit back. basically can't afford to pay these folks all of that leave. postponing the mandate, it's an unfunded mandate until you get a tax credit. that's really detrimental to the small businesses. it can be very harmful for this economy. >> laura: we are also joined by senator mike brown from the great state of indiana. we will punch him up in a second. good to see you. i keep getting texts and emails from small business and medium-sized business owners who are saying that they are caring people, they are giving gifts to their employees, trying to help them at home, try to find child care for them but they say we are going to be out of business. if we have to pay the mandate to pay sick leave, we will be out of business.

what if we could bankrupt businesses at the end of this period of time where we are all sheltering in our houses and this passes. >> i had the same text over the weekend. the national federation of independent businesses, nfib, is against the bill as well for the very reasons you talked about. we talked about it among conservative senators this evening. there are some adjustments that need to be made. we cannot just rubber-stamp this and get it across to get something done. small businesses almost in unanimity and i talked to a bunch of them over the weekend, don't like the structure of this bill. it can be fixed. the intent of helping small businesses and wage earners is important. why it's not impacting businesses with 500 or more employees, that's another issue to talk about. this bill as it is needs to be repaired. >> laura: congressman green, your thoughts on where we are moving forward from that

specific sticking point which is a big one and potentially will bankrupt thousands of businesses across america with great employees and great ceos. where are we now in the administration's response? are you satisfied with the pace things are moving, specifically the testing? >> the public-private partnerships. president trump is done several things in the course of this that i think are very, very helpful. flattening the curve with the travel ban initially. the emergency declaration which did a lot of things but in that same briefing he talked about the public-private partnerships they get those tests out there. i think the improvements have hit there. you're going to see the tests hitting the nation all this week. very pleased about that. i did want to add the technical corrections today. 89 pages of a bill correcting a 110 page bill they dropped on us and had us vote in 15 minutes. >> laura: nobody read it.

this is what i'm saying. everyone doesn't want to be called lacking in compassion. or not for helping people but isn't this what we criticized democrats for? we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it? mitch mcconnell and senator braun and others are saying wait. what we do now is important. we have to help the people affected. we cannot shut businesses down across the country because they can't comply with this. you guys didn't read this legislation. 40 republicans voted against it and they are being trashed all over america because they voted against it. >> is one of the persons getting trashed, they give us 12 minutes to read the bill. >> laura: it's a joke. >> it's a joke. bad process leads to bad policy and that's exactly why senator braun is saying this needs substantial work. like representative greene just said, 90 page technical

correction bill filled with substantive matters to try to correct all the flaws in it and it still didn't correct all the flaws. you're going to have -- it makes bad politics. you get bad process, bad policy, bad politics. that's what this bill did and it's an outrage. we said about obamacare, we teased nancy pelosi who said you have to -- >> laura: i just said it. >> here's the deal. >> laura: hold on. i have to ask senator braun a question. senator, this is only going to be the beginning of many bills including what people are saying is a bailout of the airline industry. airline industry has been charging for pillows and blankets and printing money, good for them. we should be bailing out the airline industry? >> this can't be the new normal. we will run trillion dollar deficits. it begs the question of how you would even begin to do that, setting a pattern here.

we focus on people really impacted, wage earners and small businesses. one thing i spent half an hour with the governor, lieutenant governor and state agencies in indiana. have some solace that were not going to solve this at the federal government level. we have plenty of beds in indiana. we are on full alert. i think we are going to learn more over the next 15 days and were going to find we sort through this that the two travel ban's with the biggest up front move we made in tamping this down from the get-go. that's why i think we will have a flat curve going forward. i really do. >> laura: well, it's hard to see that america is going to last past 15 days of not being able to leave their houses. that can't be a new normal that keeps happening every flu season. thank you very much. we will check back later in the week. there are a lot of other important lessons that we have to learn right now especially when it comes to the economy. steve forbes joined me in

moments on how trim can instill confidence in the markets and lay the groundwork for our resurgence next.

>> laura: states across the country are telling nonessential businesses, bars, movie theaters, gyms and restaurants to close down. or if your restaurant you can have people order take-out. for more, let's go to fox news west coastwest coast correspondt jeff paul reporting live from

l.a. >> it's started with schools and big gatherings. several states are cracking down on businesses in the hope of curbing the spread of the coronavirus. bars, restaurants, movie theaters, gyms and casinos. states like new york, connecticut, new jersey will be closing as of now until they are deemed safe to reopen. under the order, people who don't comply in new york city could face a disorderly conduct summons or possibly even be arrested. folks who make a living in the service industry right now are worried about their future. >> i am concerned about where my next check is coming. i am concerned about when this bar is good to filled again. >> the one worker -- bars and restaurants will still be able to serve takeout or bag of food deliveries. a similar band is in place in los angeles. the city's mayor eric garcetti is encouraging residents to support small businesses counting on those to go orders

during the outbreak. >> we are in the back of our restaurant. customers order and they come here to pick up orders. we have tables set up to minimize human contact. we have a sign here, orders here, sign here. hand sanitizer here. this is where the customers can pick up their food. >> despite the closures, in most cases grocery stores, pharmacies and gas stations will remain open. >> laura: thank you so much. president trump today echoed calls for americans to hunker down and avoid unnecessary travel. >> my administration is recommending that all americans including the young and healthy work to engage in schooling from home when possible, avoid gathering of groups of more than ten people, avoid discretionary travel and avoid eating and drinking in bars, restaurants, and public food courts.

>> laura: while this is a prudent public health move, what is the cost to the economy? joining us now, i'm delighted he's with us. steve forbes, chairman and of forbes media. and john, the owner of garcetti's, the supermarket chain? am i saying that right? how much damage could a nationwide lockdown do? speak of the damage is going to be substantial and it's going to hurt a lot of individuals and put out of businesses tens of thousands of businesses. small and big ones as well starting with the airlines. that's why it's essential for the federal reserve to do now what he did 12 years ago to provide loans through commercial paper. they can set up a facility to provide money, cash to otherwise solvent businesses to keep them through the storm. and the individual side, president trump has to push for a suspension of the payroll tax

and put money in people's pockets between now and year-end. something like what senator cotton is proposing, for middle and low income people to get a one-time check. the nice thing about these measures is they end when the crisis ends, instead of this sick pay leave and things like that which will crush small businesses in the future. do one-time emergency measures. they are expensive but the stock market has already lost $6 trillion in value. do this and we will get through the storm and be prepared for recovery later this year. >> laura: i did my angle earlier on how this can't become the new normal every time a health crisis occurs in another country and wreck our economy. that can't be the new normal. we have to take lessons from this going forward about how we deal with china, how we deal with supply chains. how we deal with testing in airports. you can't shut down the economy again in the fall of this fire is pops back up.

>> no. one of the things that should be done along those lines in addition to especially on the drug side and there are technologies now or we can vastly improve the manufacturing of drugs. in terms of china, those things should be done. but also i think in terms of the future, we need a commission like we did after pearl harbor, like after 9/11. why did the cdc really botch this thing up? we weren't prepared with tests. they knew in november, december that a bad thing was coming our way and they didn't -- they responded like a bureaucracy more interested in bureaucratic rules rather than mobilizing the private sector. contrast that with south korea which is already done each day more test than we've done since december. that's an outrage and we have to avoid that again. nip these things in the bud. we had experienced with ebola, swine flu and other epidemics, potential epidemics. why did they fail this time? we need to find out and prevented happening again.

>> laura: and decouple from china when it comes to essential products, medicines and medical supplies. we cannot be held hostage by other countries. >> that will happen soon. >> laura: john, i want to talk to you about the food supply. we have had enormous amount of panic on the part of americans in wanting to make sure they have enough food for their families. what can you tell us tonight about that concern of american families and how they should be reacting? >> i think that there's a shortage of toilet paper of course. there's always a shortage of toilet paper. there is no shortage of certain clorox products and products for cleaning -- there is a shortage of certain clorox products. it's not about the fed. i don't think the fed can solve this problem. it's about giving people hope that there is a out there. the fed has cut rates to nothing, it did not help. the fed said they will provide

$700 billion. it didn't help. this is about providing hope to the people. i think president trump has done everything right so far. he has close the borders which is the right thing to do and i think trump is tough enough that if one of the companies has a virus or vaccine or very close to it, i think he's going to make it happen and have some blue sky out there. >> laura: everyone wanted trump to be as forthright and somber as he was to date and he was, you saw the market go down even further when he was speaking because he said it could be july or august. he didn't mean we were going to be in our houses until july or august but he meant that the virus could still be circulating. >> i think the key thing now is to have the fed make sure that

the solvent businesses don't go under and do what the president has recommended in terms of a payroll tax so that people get immediate relief and also reducing the cost of businesses to keep people working. so that's win-win. the president should be emphasizing those things as well as not painting too rosy a picture. i think will recover from this sooner, soon as we get tests out there and get real knowledge of what the facts are so we can respond appropriately and laser-like instead of shooting in the dark because of what we just don't know. >> laura: we need more information, more facts. that will determine the future course. thank you so much. great to see you. coming up, the coronavirus took center stage at last night's democratic debate and i mean literally. how will the coronavirus quarantine affect those headed to the primary polls tomorrow? raymond arroyo has the answer next. ♪
