tv   Bill Hemmer Reports  FOX News  March 17, 2020 12:00pm-1:00pm PDT

12:00 pm
>> bill: coverage continues here on the fox, we will take you back inside the white house for the closing minutes of this meeting with president trump and executives from the travel industry. also, mitch mcconnell briefing on the hill. we will go to mitch mcconnell, senate majority leader right on you from washington now. here we go. >> have divided and created three task forces among senate republicans, each of them test with coming up with what could best be described as the next bill. we were trying to reach an agreement among ourselves as to what senate republicans and the administration favor doing next. with regard to the bill that came over from the house, there was some discussion about a
12:01 pm
bigger proposal because we all know a bigger proposal was necessary, but i've decided you're going to go on and vote as soon as the seneca get permission to vote on the bill that came over from the house. send it down to the president and thus reinsure the people around the country that we can operate on them bicameral, bipartisan basis quickly. second, we will not leave until we have passed yet another bill and clearly, that will have to go into steps as i've indicated earlier, first senate republicans and the administration are going to try to reach an agreement on what we think is best. as we have sat down with her
12:02 pm
democratic counterparts and see what we can agree to. we will not leave town until we have processed yet another bill to address this emergency. with that, i'll be happy to take a few questions. [indistinct question] >> all those things we will address of the next bill that we are beginning to write already. the of that i can't tell you yet but we know an additional bill of much larger proportions is necessary to meet this crisis. if we bend the health care curve, that will determine how long this emergency last, and
12:03 pm
that has required extraordinary measures that basically have us in the unusual position of the american government in effect shutting down the american economy in order to meet these health concerns. we can get on top of the health care concern and bend the curve, we hope that this will be of limited duration. what i'm telling you is we are going to take up and pass the house bill as soon as the senate gives us permission to do it. then senate republicans are going to write a next bill, the senate being the senate we will now discuss with the democrats but we will agree to pass which will of course take 60 votes. the details of that obviously have not been determined yet.
12:04 pm
the details will be worked out in the way that i just outlined so i can't give you an answer particularly on a large question like that about what the overall cost of it would be, we haven't determined that yet and obviously, that will be made in consultation with her democratic colleagues here in the senate. what i can tell you is we are not leaving town until we have constructed and passed another bill, basically phase three would be the best way to look at it. i just said, the first step is for republicans to largely agree
12:05 pm
on what we think is the best way to address this emergency and a second, we will consult with her democratic colleagues and see what we can agree to. that's the way we'll go forward here in the senate and we will stay here until we do reach a bipartisan agreement and achieve at least 60 votes to pass it. what's the indication? you talk about timing? anything that requires legislation will not be able to move until he passed legislati legislation. there are things we can do on their own. is that what you're talking about? they will do whatever they are allowed to do administratively as quickly as they can. the rest of it will require our
12:06 pm
permission legislatively, the first thing we are going to do is take up and pass the bill and the second phase outlined a couple of times already and that's the way we are going to go forward, yes. [indistinct question] >> a number of my members think there are considerable shortcomings in the house bill, my counsel to them is to vote for it anyway even if they think it has some shortcomings and to address those shortcomings and a bill we are in the process of crafting. i cannot predict how long we will be here but we will be here
12:07 pm
as long as it takes to pass yet another measure the on the one that came over from the house. i can answer that. we will not be doing that. there are number of of different ways getting too many people together. just to give you a hypothetical, it is not set in stone that a vote roll call vote on for 15 minutes. we can lengthen the amount of the roll call vote, people can come on one at a time, come over in small groups. we will deal with the social distancing issue without fundamentally changing senate rules.
12:08 pm
>the way to indicate certainty s to get about doing or talking about, to see bipartisan, bicameral action and that will happen on the house bill as soon as we can clear whatever procedural issues we have to clear to get it across the senate floor and down to the president for signature and then were going to move here at warp speed for the senate which almost never does anything quickly. i think everyone on both sides of the aisle is seized with the urgency of moving on yet another bill and we intend to do that. >> [inaudible question" >> usually he wants to offer an amendment to pay for these kind of bills, he usually is willing
12:09 pm
to let us have that boat and move on. i was wondering why not do that first? >> i think the best way to proceed, not to have a clear indication of where most of the republicans are and we will sit down and talk our colleagues on the other side of the island reach an agreement. that will be underscored by the overwhelming bipartisan vote of the house passed bill and by ultimately an overwhelming bipartisan support for yet another bill which will originate in the senate. >> discussions over the last year, there need to be corrections made to it. retailers and small businesses,
12:10 pm
operating loss rules. during the course of this discussion, might that make the same argument, but over again? >> lo, the goal here is to deal with this emergency created by this pandemic. and anything that doesn't address that pandemic seems to me should not be considered. we are working on trying to deal with this public health crisis which we are trying to bend the curve on quickly and anything that addresses plugging that gap for small businesses and for individuals hopefully on a short-term basis because if the advice doctors are giving us is follow, we hope we are going to begin to stem the curve and get back to normal because the underlying economy before all this came along was in very good shape.
12:11 pm
>> [inaudible question] >> well, i mean, i have been through a few of these, i was here at 9/11, i was here during the financial crisis in '08, we occasionally have these great crises and when they occur, we are able to rise above our normal partisanship and many times our normal decisions because these are not ordinary times. this is not an ordinary situation and so it requires extraordinary measures. >> is there a goal for congress to play in states that are where they don't have enough icu beds,
12:12 pm
ventilators? >> all of that deals with the substance of measures we are either about to pass or will pass, the contents of which are being negotiated. >> [inaudible question] >> we are not satisfied or we wouldn't be immediately turning to another bill. i think we are getting a little repetitive here. >> [inaudible question] >> that's a good question, what i've said -- you can't have 53 people write the bill, right? what i've done is pick out groups of people to deal with three separate categories and told everyone else that if they have a really good idea, i've told them how to funnel that idea into that particular task force because this is a
12:13 pm
herculean task from a legislative point of view to try to craft something this significant with 53 people, it just can't be done. so everyone has a way to funnel in their particular suggestions to one of these three task forces, these task forces will be working with the treasury department and secretary mnuchin and his team to see if we can reach a republican consensus so we know where we are. understanding senator schumer has laid out, to get back to your question, where they are, i am in the process of crafting where we are and then that's the logical time to sit down and make a deal. and that's what we intend to do and we are going to do it before we leave here. >> [inaudible question] >> in a sensible way, it doesn't make -- honestly, it's not particularly newsworthy.
12:14 pm
>> [inaudible question] >> [laughs] i think you're getting too far into the weeds, our goal today will be to try to move forward and take up and pass as soon as we can the bill that's come over for the house and you will be hearing from us as we move along, crafting the measure that republicans will largely be behind and then we will sit down with senator schumer. thanks a lot. >> senate majority leader mitch mcconnell there on capitol hill and there's a lot to get to, it is about 3:15 year in new york city, tuesday, march 17, there is no parade and americans now going through one of these national events that will be remembered for a lifetime, the kind of story that's not over and done within 48 hours. if you go back over the past 20 years, think about the election recount of 2000, 9/11, katrina
12:15 pm
in 2005, the economic collapse of '08 '09 and the coronavirus of 2020, there is a big hit on the economy and your family at home, $200 billion already and counting very high and quickly. here is where we stand at this hour, more than 5700 americans testing positive, at least 94 have died, cases not reported in state except for west virginia. president trump meeting this hour with supply retailers and wholesalers at the white house, the white house today pushing lawmakers to send billions of dollars to americans as part of a massive stimulus package. as i mentioned, attend a cover already today and it's just midday, john roberts from the white house and chad pergram has the view from capitol hill. coming out of senate majority leader right there, chad, when we begin with you? >> the key thing here, bill, is what mitch mcconnell talked about, they want to get this through fast, something that was
12:16 pm
emphasized by the treasury secretary, he set up these task forces trying to get something through republicans first and then going to the senate democrats. this is something that marco rubio, republican senator from florida said after the meeting on capitol hill with steve mnuchin, listen. >> this is an extraordinary, unprecedented challenge and frankly, i say this without trying to sound alarmist but to be honest, the worst is yet to come. >> rubio says we are going to have mass closings and tremendous friction among americans. they have to move this through the house, steve mnuchin spoke today with house speaker nancy pelosi, she wants to expand the scope with medical leave and also give special benefits to health care workers and first responders. here's the problem, the senate has not yet approved the two house bills over the weekend, you are one approved in the wee
12:17 pm
hours of saturday morning and the technical fixes bill moved last night, mcconnell indicates they will move that as soon as possible. they haven't moved it yet because they don't have an agreement and that might tell you just how tough it's going to be, bill, to move this broader bill and then the house of representatives would have to come back so they have a lot to do on capitol hill but they have to work together and don't forget that they have today get 60 votes in the united states -- >> bill: and they will not go home like this past weekend. chuck schumer coming out. before we go to him, john roberts and the white house, a 90 minute news conference and a lot happening as well. >> yeah, a lot happening, the president meeting with hotel executives, people from the travel industry which has been hit really hard, laying off tens of thousands of people, hotel ceos given the president some idea of what it would take to stop them from having to actually let those people go, suggesting it could take as much as $45 billion per quarter to keep that industry afloat, the president also asked for
12:18 pm
$29 billion immediately and another $29 billion after that from the airline industry and then there is the people that the president wants to get checks out to, talk about tax deferrals and a whole lot more, the list just keeps on going on this is beginning to look an awful lot like the financial crisis of 2008-2009, bill, the difference being that back then the economy looked like it was going to implode, this time around the underlying economy is very strong, but what's happening is we are just not able to do business because people aren't allowed to be in those businesses so the president said we may slip into a recession but he believes it would be very short because by the time this virus begins to wash through and we start to come out the other end which he said could be as late as july or maybe august, there will be so much pent up demand he believes that the economy will spring back to life, the stock market will shoot back up, it's all just projections right now, we don't know how it's going to go but the president remains optimistic but it's amazing how hard these industries are being
12:19 pm
hit. >> bill: thank you, john. chuck schumer now on the hill. >> the package we proposed, if you don't solve the medical problems you won't solve anything else. and there is the problem of the workers getting to the facilities when their kids are home from school. when mass transit is not functioning, how did the people who work in the hospitals who work with the doctors, who work at the facilities that make the products, how do they get there? all of that needs to be done and that is the first thing we do in our package, that is job number one. the medical needs. second are people who are hurting. i think about in my state, broadway and what i think of? not the people who can't go to o the shows as much as they regret it, what about the people who collect the tickets, clean the
12:20 pm
isles, who work backstage who are not working and not getting any income? we must do something for them quickly. we must bolster paid family leave, paid sick leave and unemployment insurance. so that the millions and millions of people who are not working and not getting a paycheck can get one. third, we need to help small businesses. i've talked to countless small businesses in new york, they will go out of business in a couple of weeks if they don't get some help. our proposal main lends money small businesses quickly. they need it. and we ask for forbearance, the federal government and the banks should not be able to foreclose on a house -- >> bill: chuck schumer on the hill, following the action in
12:21 pm
washington, nine to figure out what's next, moving very quickly. in a moment we will have a story we've been watching for more than a month, carl goldman was positive for 40 days and today he has major news, we will check in with him and his wife and more coming up. and, i tell them, "nobody should." hey, buddy. what's the damage? i bought it! the waterfall? nope! a new volkswagen. a volkswagen?! i think we're having a breakthrough here! welcome to caesar's palace. thank you. ♪[ siren ] & doug give me your hand! i can save you... lots of money with liberty mutual! we customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need!

12:25 pm
>> bill: in the middle of all this virus coverage, a critical 2020 state has canceled its primaries over the virus. in arizona, illinois, florida, all critical states. at the moment, joe biden still in the lead after sam wins last tuesday, reaction to all this in a moment here but first,
12:26 pm
chairman of the ohio democratic party live in columbus by way of skype, how are you doing, thank you for coming back here. the idea is to push this off until the 2nd of june, i know you're not happy about that, how do you manage that or does it happen before them? >> i support it in the end, the governor's call to postpone today's in person voting. i don't think they were ready, i think it would've been very unsafe and not fair to a lot of voters. we don't think the june 2nd -- we don't even know if in person voting will be possible on june 2nd, we are proposing to have a shorter window and open up votes by mail, curbside drop-off in the governor already said he's open to our idea. two seconds, very late, if you wait until all the votes are in and get this passed the primary it's not workable, we think the primary has to continue.
12:27 pm
>> bill: the other three are going forward, what's your feeling on that? >> all i can tell you about his ohio. our secretary of state basically said, we cannot do these primaries in no way that we can guarantee the health of voters, health of 35,000 coworkers, a wonderful job keeping major events from happening that would've exploded the spread and today's in person voting, in ohio, good for them. in ohio, i have coworkers calling me on weekends saying we are not getting the training we need. i actually think if we can do this the right way now, extended, let people vote in other ways by mail, i think there could be a bipartisan consensus to get that done. >> bill: i'm sure you will
12:28 pm
admit that, too, think about this from 35,000 feet here, what is the impact on this race, the democratic party is trying to find a nominee. >> first of all, two different sets of circumstances, illinois and ohio and arizona and florida. arizona and florida only voting on the presidential primary, biden versus sanders. other states have local offices on their, illinois contested primaries for congress, state legislature, same in ohio. the problem that's even worse in ohio and illinois than it is in the other states, at least in arizona and florida there's only one thing here, who are the delegates to the democratic national convention and who are they voting for and others were settling hundreds of local offices in both parties so very problematic but look, this is a judgment call for mike dewine
12:29 pm
who felt strongly about it, you've been able to request an absentee ballot since january 1st, able to vote early in the last four weeks. >> bill: are you able to understand how the nomination process works out now? if you go to june 2nd, that's about a month away from the convention in milwaukee. >> roughly three weeks for the deadline for states to confirm to the democratic national committee, traditionally they've always been primaries, california traditionally was the last day of the primaries. depending on what year it was, south dakota, there've been periods where june, the last
12:30 pm
primary is held on the first week of june, heck of a lot closer to the conventions and they're going to be this year. what it does do is clearly distorts the outcome, older voters may be less inclined to vote, we really don't know. >> bill: i think that's the answer, we don't know. carl, thank you, the trump administration running full court press to the virus pandemic. in a moment the surgeon general live from the white house, he is my guest after this. he's a musical
12:31 pm
12:32 pm
12:33 pm
there are ordinary eggs... and the best. which egg tastes more farm-fresh and delicious? only eggland's best. with more vitamins d and e and 25% less saturated fat? only eggland's best. better taste, better nutrition, better eggs.
12:34 pm
>> bill: breaking news from a moment ago, e.u. moving to tighten its borders, the president of the european commission asking leaders to ban all nonessential travel to the e.u. president emmanuel macron
12:35 pm
putting france on a lockdown. the french may leave their homes only to buy food, go to work, get medical care or exercise. streets are empty across europe as the case is search, switzerland warning that the country's health care system could collapse in ten days if the virus keep spreading. here's where we are, johns hopkins university baltimore, maryland, this map along with our information year at fox, the cdc, the world health organization and associated press coming years are confirmed cases around the world, 195,000. you're up to nearly 8,000 deaths around the world, total recovery numbers about 80,000 at the moment. we started showing you this yesterday, very interesting development a day later, three lines on this map, all the cases in china, the cases outside of china and this greenline is the recovery mark that i mentioned a moment ago, covers about two
12:36 pm
months, starts from the 20th of january, runs through today, march 17. here's what i think is important, it spikes here in mid-february in china and starts to level off, that's the curve they always talk about. this however is not good news, late february outside of china, this yellow line keeps going -- that's not where -- we need this line to start shifting to the right so we're going to watch that as it plays out. i'm going to show you another map here that shows you a bit of a different story as we look at this global issue, really, back in this map here, this is china and the number of cases they were reporting three weeks ago today, about 70,000 and today china is at 81,000 meeting the number in china has stayed relatively consistent between 79,081,000, however you move to iran, three weeks ago today they were at 95, today 16,000.
12:37 pm
come to europe, the epicenter, italy three weeks ago today and now on march 17th almost at 28,000. in the u.s. we were at 533 weeks ago and 21 days later we stand at 5,702, that number can change and we will keep track as best we can. i want to bring in the u.s. surgeon general right now, thank you for your time and good day to you. >> thank you and i really appreciate being here, the last week, w.h.o. declared that a pandemic presidential emergency declared on friday, march madness, it's go time. what we want america to understand, we've got to focus on mitigation efforts for about the next 15 days, that means everybody. >> about nine counties in
12:38 pm
northern california told to shelter in place, is that necessary? >> we know when we look at china, you brought that up, when you look at south korea they were able to flatten their curves and actually now we are seeing decreasing cases because they leaned into oppressive mitigation efforts such as social distancing, pulling down schools, making sure people were working from home or not working. we have a choice right now, do we want to be like south korea and china in terms of flattening and going down or do we want to be like italy and iran and so i want america to understand, this is critical, we are at a critical inflection point and you're seeing that emanating from the white house, we want everyone to really do their part to help us over the next 15 days. >> bill: here is dr. deborah deh birx, i think what she's describing is something that everyone needs to understand. in terms of how you communicate this disease to others.
12:39 pm
>> there early data suggests the droplets dispense and fall when you cough or sneeze and that's why we say 6 feet two, there is a lot of data from early studies suggesting 6 feet for more than 10 minutes, you got exposed. >> bill: that explains why the separation policy has been an issue initiated. can you give us the sense of what she's describing, when someone coughs or sneezes, how should they react? >> it's important for people to know that the average age of individuals across the globe who needed medical attention is about 60, that's why we're telling people with underlying medical conditions who are older that they are especially at risk what they've got to get it from someone so younger people going out to bars, going out to restaurants and movies still getting together in large gatherings can transmit this disease back and forth.
12:40 pm
we -- that's why you now have these new recommendations saying that social gatherings and people over ten should be halted and people should work from home if possible, the president said earlier today and they should avoid unnecessary travel, at least for the next 15 days. >> bill: want to hear a few china, we've got an american lig in wuhan saying that environments have returned back to normal. what does our experience tell us about how much longer we face this? >> i think their experience tells a couple of important things. that is the most important thing, it's going to be painful little bit but if we do the things we know work from looking at other countries, this will
12:41 pm
only take a few months, ideally a few weeks to hit our peak but then we'll start to see things get better. >> bill: what makes the virus so contagious, doctor? >> there's a lot we don't know about the virus but when we look at one versus the other we know that it's not quite as deadly as mers or sars but it's more contagious. it's wintertime, we all like to pack closer together and it makes it easier for those types of diseases to spread. >> bill: another question, technically, why do people test positive and have no symptoms? >> we know the disease can take up to about 14 days, the average is about five days but up to 14 days to be symptomatic and symptoms come with the viral load going up in your body so some people can have the disease in them and not have a high viral load. there is something protective
12:42 pm
about being young, but that doesn't mean they can't get the virus and transmit it, it just means they're not as likely to be some dramatic. >> bill: i'm almost at a time, you said the united states today is where italy was two weeks a ago. what does that mean for us, doctor? >> it means for us that we have a choice to make, we want to see more people come together, we need our millennials especially, younger people to understand that they are transmitting the disease, the older people are at risk but the young people are the transmitters and this is going to take everyone coming together, workplaces, places of worship, schools, all ages, all generations. >> bill: how long are we in it for? >> i'm convinced -- america is going to do the right thing, i'm convinced we will lean into this and we are looking at weeks to a few months before we had our peak and are able to start coming back down. this is going is to be solved at
12:43 pm
the community level, not washington, d.c. >> bill: thank you, we will be in contact every day in the foreseeable future, thank you. >> thank you, coronavirus.gov. >> bill: watching the dow right now, decent day at the moment, final minutes of trading, businesses shut their doors in america, millions told to stay at home. a surge in online shopping and a rush to fill those orders, amazon is hiring. memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. robinwithout the commission fees. so, you can start investing today wherever you are - even hanging with your dog. so, what are you waiting for? download now and get your first stock on us. robinhood.

12:48 pm
subway earlier today. new york state has more than 1300 cases, the most in the country at the moment. laura? >> hey, bill, it feels like a race against time as hospital staff work to prepare for what they're describing as the coronavirus search. they know it's coming, they've seen it so far and they have been working to try to make space for the beds they know they're going to need and are going to need them very soon. the staff here has been clearing areas to do just that, make space for more beds to come in, they even moved the oncology and fusion center from one floor to a conference room and moved the entire sleeping area that medical residents use to space for more potential covid-19 patients. >> the beds we are creating is for unit specifically for infectious disease. and therefore we can continue to
12:49 pm
operate the organization for those patients who are not sick with infectious disease. >> governor andrew cuomo has repeatedly made the urgent request to the federal government that new york needs more room to treat the wave of patients who will need beds, asking for the army corps of engineers to start mobilizing now. >> i'm working with governments and organizations all across the state right now. how do we set up temporary hospital facilities even if they're not intensive care units, you can take people who are in the hospital beds, move them into a temporary medical care facility and then backfill the bed. >> medical facilities like this would have established outdoor triage areas so that people can be screened before going inside. we learned today that there's been one covid-19 death here at this hospital, to call patients here have tested positive and are being treated and of course
12:50 pm
there are dozens more under observation and we should note that that new testing facility, the drive through in nassau county where we are now, jones beach has opened today and people will start being tested there. >> bill: that's the medical side of it. thank you, laura ingle in long island, new york. the economic impact is significant, grinding the global economy to a halt. live look at the dow, up about 4% after being down 13% yesterday. a lot of news from the white house now on capitol hill, the administration promising to help businesses affected by the outbreak. susan li from fox business network is tracking that story >> you saw their president trump wrapping up meetings with ceos of big hotel groups, the biggest being mary out and they announce they are suspending tens of thousands of their employees. that's because people are not traveling, not taking trips, not checking into hotels and they
