carley: listen to coach o. rob: carley, thanks so much. jillian: that's it for today's "fox & friends first." we'll be back here tomorrow same time. rob: both of us 4 to 6 tomorrow. bye. brian: we begin with a fox news alert. empty streets deserted restaurants. a sign of the times in the united states right here in 2020. as the deadly coronavirus spreads rapidly from coast to coast. steve: the number of caves has gone up nationwide surging more to 400. 150 people have reportedly died. the virus threatening the lives and livelihoods of millions. here in new york city, cases doubled in just 24 hours. however, we were told that would happen as more tests were being conducted. ainsley: that's true. connecticut and pennsylvania confirming their first deaths as a result of covid-19. as our northern border with canada closes overnight.

brian: the cdc reporting half of patients are under the age of 65. that's stunning. president trump's task team warning the number of case also rise despite tough social distancing guidelines. >> when you do the mitigation going on right now and effort going on right now, there will be more cases and they will continue to go up. that doesn't mean what we are doing is not having an important effect. steve: so, in other words, the cases will go up because people are being tested. because we are hunkering down it is having an impact. two congressman testing positive for covid-19 overnight. ben mcadams and mario diaz ba pwhra*rt. 15 days to stop the spread. the whole idea is for you to stay at home and the rate of infections to go down. ainsley: the idea is to get ahead of it, to limit the

spread. there's a message definitely for all those young folks that are out on the beach and out on spring break or have been over the past week. definitely stay at home. heed the warnings. because the cdc is saying half the people in icu are under the age 65. 38% of u.s. patients have been hospitalized the ages between 20 and 44. brian: pretty hard to watch. watch a an economy ready to roar being told to stay in the sidelines. stay in the locker room. just wait it out. we find out from dr. jerome adams that 15 days might not be enough while businesses are forced to make some big decisions. i do lay people off because i can't pay them? how am i going going to pay my lease with the people who hold the lease going to wonder how they will pay the bank. we wonder when the help is going to be coming. we find out that congress is, in fact, acting in a way in which we probably haven't seen them act since 9/11. steve: so the surgeon will give us the very latest on the fight against cv-19.

also, you got questions. dr. marc siegel is going to be joining us along with mehmet oz. america's favorite tv doctor. ainsley: someone who works for him tested positive. talk to him about that as well. steve: close to home. ainsley: president trump invoking war time defense powers to defeat covid-19. steve: that crucial action signed yesterday coming just hours before he signed a 100 billion-dollar coronavirus relief package, the first of several. brian: right. so griff jenkins, as you focus on this package, there is another run coming right behind it as both sides of the aisle are working together as well as our secretary of treasury steve mnuchin working with both parties. how is this going to help americans, griff? griff: all of this put together is going to help americans. good morning, brian, ainsley, and steve. the president on a war footing brings a big deal at lot of authority like the ability to deploy the navy hospital ships like we saw yesterday and the

power to compel private industry decades old law to ramp up production of critically needed supplies. in vowing total victory the president says he will not hesitate to use it. >> we have tremendous numbers of ventilators but is there has never been an instance like this where no matter what you have it's not enough. if we need to use it, we will be using it at full speed ahead. griff: moving quickly signing the first coronavirus relief package into law yesterday that provides free testing into covid-19 and paid emergency leave. and now he is pressing lawmakers to pass this trillion-dollar stimulus package. the centerpiece being that 500 billion to start issuing direct cash payments to americans. let me show you how it breaks down. 250 billion starting april 2nd. that's the first payment. second one, 250 billion in mid may. that, of course, will be announced depending on income and emphasize. 300 billion to rescue small businesses getting crushed. 1 auto 50 billion to severely distressed sectors of the economy. and 50 billion to the airline industry.

so, how soon will lawmakers pass this and that's what you were referring, to brian. it's going to be called phase 3. it's unclear senate in full negotiation. schumer's to make sure workers are the priority and not big business. there is certainly signs of hope. if you listen to senator lindsey graham he says quote hasn't seen that kind of spirit on capitol hill since 9/11. also, yesterday, speaker pelosi saying she hopes to see the four corners of washington that the leaders of both sides of congress sitting down at early as next week to try to get it done. guys? steve: that's right. by the way, lindsey graham is going to be joining us. griff, do we know what the threshold is for people going to wind up getting the checks? i read this morning that it sounds like every adult will wind up with $2,000. every child will wind up with 1,000. but the republicans, it sounds like in the congress are thinking about some sort of flesh holds of income because obviously, you don't want to send the checks to millionaires. griff: the devil is in the details.

talking with producers about putting some of this on a full screen for americans to see chose not to because that's where the fine tune something going to come down. steve: right. griff: how much and who will get it. it will give some confidence that people can then try and plan their, you know,. steve: their lives. griff: economic lives around it. it's fair to say that $1,000 isn't that much when you are unemployed if you know exactly what's coming when, it certainly helps. brian: this is one thing i want to be clear if you don't have the answer, that's okay. in the phase 2 that passed yesterday, they are asking businesses with over 50 employees two weeks paid leave and 10 weeks two thirds paid with those that are 50 that could be an exemption. where are they going to get the money. if they are on a tight budget. they have to turn around and find money to pay employees which their heart might be in the right place. where is the money coming from for them to pay the employees?

griff: that's a great question. i don't fully know it. although you have seen in some cases some of these renters saying, listener, you have got to deal with this. don't pay the rent. pay your employees. perhaps it's act of compassion going to help people struggle and find their way through it. steve: all right, griff. thank you so much. ainsley: interesting you say that brian. one of my family members owns a small business and is very, very concerned about that. how are you going to pay the employees? how is he going to put food on the table for his family. in the middle of selling a house buying another house. so many stressful moments. i was at a restaurant picking up my to go food. two other people waiting on to go food. both of them small business owners saying the same thing. they have to fold. then when everything gets better. those business also be out of business. where are the folks that work for them going to be employed. brian: no sense putting together a package that mandates small business pay people with money they don't have.

ainsley: stuart varner, yesterday we asked him about that. he says the president does have a plan to help small businesses i don't know the details. brian: i can't wait to hear it. steve: meanwhile, let's talk a little bit about this. if you were watching the channel during the midday, you saw the president of the united states announce he is sending two united states navy hospital ships one to the east coast, and one to the west coast just in case. here's the president. >> we are sending, upon request, the two hospital ships. they are being prepared right now. they are massive ships. and they are the big white ships with the red cross on the sides. one is called the mercy and the other is called the comfort. and and they are in at this pointip top shape.i spoke with*l about he is excited about it. we haven't made the final determination where it's going to go on the west coast. brian: new york he is talking about governor cuomo not only is

it the biggest city but hurting the most 2083 cases growing exexponentially. number is kind of low. but we are really getting concerned about is the shortage of ventilators, health workers and hospitals teetering on being overwhelmed. get the ships there and wonder, too, if these cruise ships just sitting at port can be re-purposed and maybe do the same thing if we can staff them with military. steve: well, the ships are coming just in case it gets bad because what we're doing right now is we are trying to keep the infection rate lower. if it's super spiked and then the hospitals are overwhelmed. that's when we become italy. that's what the surgeon general said a couple of days ago on this program. we're going to talk to him about that. you know, how close are we, ainsley, to the point where, you

know, you need to call in the government? right now, not close. but we're being just super careful. ainsley: that's right. you know, we were talking weeks ago about the election. everyone had different opinions. i will say it was so nice and refreshing to hear that andrew cuomo says he has his back and he has the president's back. it's bipartisan at this point. >> we are fighting the same war. and this is a war. and we're enemy same trench and i have your back. you have my back. and we're going to do everything we can for the people of the state of new york. and the president agreed to that and i agreed to that. and his actions demonstrate that he is doing that. he is fully engaged on trying to help new york. he is being very creative and very energetic. and i thank him for his partnership. brian: he is also got to get on the same page as his mayor his

mayor is saying shelter in place i might have to do that. the governor says excuse me, you will have to check with me first before do you that so far people being pretty responsible. also saying hey, casinos, hotels, any type of amusement park, you guys have really got to shut down. steve: it's unusual. president trump and the governor cuomo are on the same page whereas governor cuomo and bill de blasio are not. that's sending crazy signals here throughout the new york city area. meanwhile, we have been showing you folks, ainsley, the images of millennials out on the beach partying and stuff like that. as it turns out. and these are some of the pictures from clearwater beach, wednesday. as it turns out now, they have closed the beach down there there. so has naples. they have closed the bars in florida. we are going to talk to the governor about that. but the young people there have felt invincible because they have looked at the numbers and say it's mainly old people that are impacted. now according to the cdc and

studies out of europe, ainsley. a lot of young people are in the hospital. ainsley: yeah, you are right. look at the numbers in italy and that's the case there we were thinking it was older when we were looking at china. now that it's moving across the globe. younger people are getting it. i heard reports of a 45-year-old in louisiana who is fighting for his life in icu. a report of a 31-year-old here in new york fighting for his life in icu, too. the young people need to take the warnings. the trump administration are warning very concerning rise of children and young adults catching the coronavirus. here is ambassador birx talking about that very thing. >> there are concerning reports coming out of france and italy about some young people getting seriously ill and very seriously ill in the icus it may have been that the millennial generation, our largest generation, our future generation that will carry us through for the next multiple decades. there may be disproportional number of infections among that

group. brian: 38% that have been hospitalized are between 20 and 54. and half of the 121 patients admitted to the icu were under the age of 65. not only do you have to be concerned about being a carrier if your symptoms are less. it turns out that you are susceptible to being flat on your back. ainsley: ron desantis shut down the beaches now down in florida. first the bars and night clubs and now it's the beaches. he will be on at 8:15 to talk to us about it. steve: i believe the florida beaches are still open. clearwater beach and naples have shut down the beaches. ainsley: just a few of the cities. steve: exactly. the governor will explain it all. it's a little complicated. 13 minutes after the top of the hour. jillian joins us strong words from the secretary of state. jillian: that's right. good morning. secretary of state mike pompeo is vowing to bring home americans stranded abroad during the coronavirus crisis. >> we just learned about them over the last couple days. it will take us some amount of time.

president trump has made clear that we're going to do everything we can to get every american home safely. jillian: overseas italy seeing deadliest day since the outbreak began. 3,000 people have died so far. take a look at this. iconic spots in paris, london and rome all turning to ghost towns as tourists heed the warning and everyone stays home. overnight an amazon warehouse worker tests positive for the coronavirus in new york city. it's the first known case among amazon in the u.s. buildinbuild. 2020 hopeful bernie sanders says he is still in the race and focusing on covid-19. but his campaign just paused all facebook ads. the move comes after he lost all three primaries this week in florida, illinois, and arizona. sanders says he is taking some time to reassess his campaign. the pause in facebook ads is raising some eyebrows. pete buttigieg and mike

bloomberg did the same thing before they dropped out. and then there is this. the terminator sends a message from his hot tub about stopping the spread of coronavirus. watch this. >> so stay away from big crowds. go home, and then you can overcome this whole problem, this whole virus in no time. but, you have got to go and follow the orders. just remember. stay at home, don't go into crowds. put that cookie down. jillian: arnold schwarzenegger has plenty of friends to keep him company at home. in addition to dog he posted a picture of mini horse and donkey. send it back to you. steve: there you go. thank you very much. ainsley: dow futures all over the map so big it wind out all of the trump era gain? what happens now, stuart varney on deck with what is happening to your money. >> woman: what's our safelite story?

we were on a camping trip... ...when our windshield got a chip. >> man: we drove to safelite autoglass for a same-day repair. >> woman: and with our insurance, it was no cost. really? >> man: safelite has service we can trust. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ good morning, mr. sun. good morning, blair.

steve: here is a fox business alert. the new york stock exchange closed its trading floor yesterday going electronic only starting monday after two workers have tested positive here in new york for the coronavirus. ainsley: this as the dow plunged more than 1300 points, threatening all gains made since president trump came into office. >> here to react the host of varner and company on fox business stewart varney on from 9:00 to noon. stuart, right now we are looking at now traders saying do electronic trading. will that effect what we see? stuart: no. i mean, these days almost all stock trading is done electronically. there used to be a couple of hundred traders on the floor face-to-face trading on the new york stock exchange. you can't gather in groups. you can't have crowds.

they are closing it down. it's going to be all electronic so it should be. what we are looking at here is america shutting down. the economy is shutting down gradually. it's becoming more and more comprehensive. and as it shuts down, the economy sinks and so i'm afraid to say does the value of your 401(k). you, if you have got one, 401(k), ira, you are probably up about 30%. you've lost it all. up 30% in the last three years since president trump was elected. most of that gain is probably now all gone. look, the government can try to support the economy, but it can't support the stock market. the stock market will not rally until we are looking on the other side of this thing. when we know how far down the economy is going, when it falls and starts to come up again. at that point you might see a bounce in the stock market. but we are not there yet. ainsley: my frictions of when we will be.

stuart: no. ainsley: look at the cover of "the new york post." mass layoffs begin. one restaurant had to lay off 2,000 workers stuart stuart bars, restaurants, retail operations, all shutting down, gyms. now you are moving to the factory floor. seven automakers have started to shut plants. harley-davidson had shut down. you are expanding the shutdown now to the factory floor. it's inevitable, factories employ lots of people. they are close together, usually. steve: right. stuart: therefore, you shut them down in the instance social distancing. no saying how far down this economy goes and when we start to come out on the other side. we haven't seen that yet. steve: sure, i took a walk around our neighborhood yesterday a little couped up. and every family was at home in their house. nobody is going to work right now. stuart, can i ask you a question about the trading? these days so much of the trading is actually done by computers and they have got algorithms. is that accentuating or

accelerating some of these zooms up and zooms down, these super computers? stuart: yes, it is. headline driven market. you get a headline in a news operation it uses a particular word the algorithm read that headline, read that key word buy or sell depending on key word happens in a flash. just like that. millions of shares traded almost immediately. and you are right, steve, that does exacerbate the up and the down moves. it doesn't help it but it's a factor in the marketplace today. brian: stuart, what i'm keeping my eye on is not so much vaccines but treatments. and we keep on seeing things bubble ling up from different places that they might be getting close. what could you tell us about companies that might be getting close? because if you want to see a slingshot, you get a treatment that's effective that they had some success in japan, this is crisis over. stuart stuart yes, yes. what we are looking for is a

reliable treatment. now, i can't give you the medical details on any reliable treatment. what can i tell you is that any company which announces that it is close or that it is working on a treatment, or a vaccine or a test, for example, any company which makes that announcement, the stock price goes straight up. it's a bit like what happened to clorox. the cleaning products company. that stock is, i think, quadrupled if four or five weeks. you are getting exactly the same result for drug companies which are testing a treatment or a vaccine or a test. that's what you have got. ainsley: crazy thing is, stuart, we are at home thinking we can get through. this we can hunker down and try to find the silver lining in this. but then you start to see the statistics and start to see it's affecting younger and younger people. then the fear factor starts to play in to all of this because you think at the end of all of this, you know, you are praying to god that you are alive.

stuart: let me give you a real fast story if i may say social distancing is clearly moving us all apart. at the time like this, i think america comes together. for example, the executive producer of my program, his name is justin monardo a small new jersey town. every night this week at 5:30. his neighbors walk out onto the front sidewalk and they stand there, 20 or 30 yards apart. they laugh at each other, they crack jokes with each other. they don't share a glass of wine. they have a glass of wine. and that's a way of coming together at a distance and i think that's common all across america. we are coming together even as we are being forced apart. steve: stuart. during that walk i mentioned a moment ago. i was talking to one of my neighbors. he said we are going to do that on friday. it's pouring in new york city today. everybody is going to put a lawn chair in their front yard right by the street and don't be surprised if there are some adult beverages. brian: we are getting complaints

from different pets in the area they are tired of walking with us. they want to stay home and their old lifestyle back. ainsley: we are spoiling our animals. spending more time than ever. stuart: difficult time. america is smile on occasion. brian: just not now. and we will see you from 9:00 to noon, stuart, doing a great job on your show. stuart: thank you so much. brian: images of spring breakers going viral. our next guest is a millennial and has a warning for her generation. that story next. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic®! ♪

brian: images of spring breakers partying in florida went viral as young americans defy warnings with covid-19. ainsley: next guest issuing a emotional plea detailing how

impacting ones like her mom who was supposed to have open heart surgery tomorrow. brian: joining us is the host of carley maria and anthony radio show in seattle carla m.r.i. thank you for joining us. >> hi, guys. brian: when we saw those images of spring break that looks familiar this time of year but also looked incredibly irresponsible. what's your message to your peers? >> it's crazy how much it effects all of us in different ways. and i think people, millennials, you guys were talking about it earlier, were originally thinking oh, i can't get sick from this so i'm fine, not thinking about their own families and then the fallout that it has. my mom's open heart surgery was cancelled because the hospital has covid-19 patients. so now it's way beyond coronavirus patients and getting the coronavirus. i mean, i'm sure there are people in their families who have cancer, who have heart problems. and you want your family to get the best treatment for whatever

they have. it's not just catching a virus that you think you are invincible from anymore how do you get through to the younger generation. one says i have been planning spring break for two months. all i want to do is party. i don't care about this virus. >> i think they need people in their lives to tell them how they are feeling and their story. i have friends and family who at first weren't thinking this was real either. i'm in seattle. so we kind of got hit first. i was telling them this is real. this is what it feels like here. and i think sharing my message of what it felt like and what i was feeling made them take it seriously. i don't know if these kits are calling their parents. call your mom and your dad because you can and do that i think that's the problem. they aren't connecting with their family right now. brian: do you think that we have 50 states and 50 different messages? is that the problem? >> it could be. i mean, i am listening to the messages that i'm getting here

in washington state. and we have been getting a message from day one that is care about one another. and to make everyone better you have to sit home. we have that for two or three weeks here we have been told that for the most part, we in washington state are following the rules there still people playing soccer at the park which drives me nuts. it could be that i am just paying attention to what my state is telling me. ainsley: interesting we have friends all over the country. my friends in states that haven't been hit hard, you are exactly right. they are asking me certain questions, how is it affecting new york? because we have the most number of cases here in new york. you are right, people, it's trickling down to other states. what's your message for the people who haven't been really hit hard and do have questions? >> so, i have been saying this for a while that italy keeps telling us look what's happening to us. i'm trying to tell you the same thing. as you guys are in new york. look what's happening to us? our lives are changing every day. and you can prevent this from

changing. you can literally prevent it by sitting on your couch. go sit on your couch a few days and watch the numbers change. maybe longer than a few days. it's hitting us hard here. there is no traffic in seattle. i cannot tell you the last time that has ever happened. ainsley: same as new york. brian: you have 1187 cases as of today. right now have you lost 68 people. we have more cases. you have more deaths it's really where it all started and so many people from china were visiting out on the west coast that really began to inflict a lot of damage on our country. but i do believe, unless you have a shelter in place order, i do think you can go out and walk and jog. and if you are playing soccer or basketball by yourself, that's not a problem. playing in a game is a huge problem. >> absolutely. i have been seeing people walk all over my neighborhood. that's great. get outside. once you are banging into each

other you are defeating the whole purpose. brian: carla m.r.i., thanks so much. i appreciate it. hopefully people get the message from you, one of their peers, if they're not going to take it from us. >> sit on your couch. that's all we ever meme about and talk about. sit home and watch netflix. do it. ainsley: thank you so much. brian: no sports to watch. ainsley: hear they are playing old games. brian: i know. everything is like the classic sports network. meanwhile, we have a lot more show to go. ainsley: salt lake city is recovering after being rocked by a powerful earthquake. look at the doggy. this morning the warning that it might not be over. brian: dr. marc siegel is here answering your questions about the coronavirus. this is a moving target now. so, if you have some symptoms but not others, should you be worried? that's the first question out of the box.

steve: we have got a fox news alert. the coronavirus is threatening young people even more than previously thought. brian: president trump and the white house coronavirus task force urging generations c and millennials to -- z, i should say and take their health. ainsley: generation z are the ones younger than millennials. todd: while older americans are still at risk from death of coronavirus. a whopping 38% of patients here in the u.s. are between 20 and 54 years old. nearly half of those admitted to the icu are adults under 65. new numbers from the cdc looked at a sample of the first few thousand american patients but they are close to what we have seen in france and in italy. breaking it down by age group. the report shows 6% of patients were 85 and older, 25% were 65

to 84 years old. 29% were 20 to 44 years old. and 5% were 19 and younger. millennials accounting for 20% of those hospitalized and 12% of icu patients. it's stats like that which underscore the warning for medical authorities and the president to stop scenes like this especially during this time of year when spring breaks are normally in full swing. >> we don't want them gathering i see they do gather. young people. they don't realize -- they are feeling invincible. they don't realize they can be carrying bad things home to grandmother and grandfather and even their parents. we want them to heed the medical adviced toed to the it does appear the coronavirus poses no significant mortality in children. but, again, all these stats and figures need to be constantly monitored for any changes in an

ever-changing world. back to you. steve: absolutely. todd, thank you very much. let's bring in fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel. he is here in the building with us. dr. siegel, we have been hearing from ambassador birx talking about the millennials really hold the key to this because they think they are invincible when it comes to this. now the cdc says 40% of sick patients in the hospital are people between the ages of 20 and 54. do you think that's going to slow them down? >> no. i wish it would. i hope we can do that this morning. that's absolutely what we are finding in the u.s. right now in hot spot areas including new york here where not all the people that are very sick and on ventilators are actually 70 or 80 years old which is what we thought coming out of wuhan. our perception is changing. i don't think the disease is, but i think the sense who is at risk is expanding. brian: right. so that's big. so, if you are under 65. you are very susceptible, despite what earlier reports may be had indicated. let's go to the question. susan has the first one for you,

dr. siegel. she says i have had a cold and flu symptoms for more than a week. i have had no shortness of breath. can i have the coronavirus with these symptoms alone and no shortness of breath? great question. >> actually, brian, the answer is you could, but it's not the first thing i think about. shortness of breath characterizes cough and high fever. but the thing i want to do in a case like that is i want to rule out things like the flu make sure you don't have the flu and i would consider a possibility. you don't want to overlook it. one of the things we are trying to do here right now is to track people who are actually sick, even if they are not that sick because they could spread it to other people. i would consider that it's not a cardinal thing oh, i don't have shortness of breath. i don't have it. that's not the case. brian: dr. siegel would you say to that person to go get a test because a lot of people are being told don't worry about it even though you have those symptoms. what would you say if that person called you? >> first of all i never tell anyone who is sick not to worry about it. i don't tell them to worry.

say you have to look at it. brian: on the test. >> on the test the availability and where it's being done and how easy to get. right now not age to test mild symptoms who are younger. i want to be able to do that. here is your direct answer within the next week or two i want to test a person like that. as soon as we have the availability. brian: not yet? >> not quite yet. ainsley: that's so interesting don't have enough tests to test people that have some symptoms. send them home, and they go to work and could being infecting other people, right? >> i don't want her going to work. that's a really great point. i want her to stay home while we monitor this until we can test people like her. i'm going to assume she can have it and i want her sheltering in place while we watch her symptoms. absolutely. ainsley: steve, why don't you take the next question. steve: we got an email from nancy who said my kids are coming back from spring break in florida. should they self-quarantine? what do you think about that. >> steve that refers to the

report from todd piro. there is 300 cases of covid-19 in florida and 1,000 being tested. i'm really disturbed by those photos of what went on on spring break. if it were my kid i would have a talk with them on the way back. that's still not the same thing as saying that i think they are at great risk just for being in the state of florida. and i want to see if anyone from those spring break activities starts to test positive or have symptoms. because if i thought my child was in contact with them, i would definitely self-quarantine them. brian: but the answer is. >> no the answer is i wouldn't self-quarantine them yet but be very watchful of this. steve: dr. siegel that flies in the face of the administration's 15 days to stop the spread. if they -- they are exposed to florida down in people right now and then they go home and don't develop it for the week and then the people in their house get it a week later, doesn't that fly in the face of what they are trying to do? >> that's a fair point, steve when you take into account the travel part of this. i was thinking merely from the

point of view of beaches. the travel, getting on a plane is not something we are advising at all right now. given that she is flying, that the person is flying from florida -- i wouldn't self-quarantine but i think i would restrict activities. brian: margaret writes since the world health organization says the virus can stay in the air for three hours. how safe is it when i am grocery shopping to not have a mask? someone could have just coughed or sneezed before i got there? ainsley: great question. >> that's really important point. peeping shopping in the grocery should be very, very important. wearing a mask actually doesn't help you. it's not going to prevent the spread of this. even if the virus is hanging in the air the most likely way you are going to catch it is from somebody coughing and sneezing on you. keep your social distancing of more than six feet. i would be careful when you are on the grocery aisles of wiping down things and watching what you are in contact with. but you are not going to get it from just having been in the same air as somebody who

possibly has it. that won't give it to you. ainsley: email from maria. can a spa*p machine help people with breathing problems suffering from covid-19. >> that's something currently being studied. i have gotten a lot of questions about that ainsley. i think the answer is probably yes. it probably can help. it would be a really severe case. we are looking into that. when the president talked more the other day about getting more devices and more medical support, i will tell you another one i like is the oxygen test on the finger. that's what we need from people suffering from covid-19 who are being treated at home that are under quarantine at home. i want to know their oxygen content. not just whether they are short of breath. because then i can decide whether they need emergency care or not. brian: wow, a lot to discuss. there are some hopes for some type of treatment and maybe the president has that announcement today at 11:00 because he talked about having another presser today which is big news. >> there are several treatments out there, brian. i want to say i think people out there should have hope. we are going in the right direction. we are going to beat. this the united states of america is going to beat this

virus. brian: let's see it. we are waiting. thanks, dr. siegel. ainsley: thanks, dr. siegel. brian: meanwhile, jillian is poised upstairs to tell us what is happening. jillian: salt lake city is recovering after being rocked by a very powerful earthquake. you can see things falling off shelves as the 5.7 magnitude quake hit the area yesterday morning. it damaged buildings and knocked out the state's coronavirus hotline. >> this is extremely bad timing. because we already have the coronavirus issue that's going on right now. which is causing a lot of anxiety as it is. jillian: some people have been forced out of their damaged homes. experts say the area will continue to feel hundreds if not thousands of aftershocks. lori loughlin college admission trial will begin in october despite the coronavirus outbreak. that's the ruling from a federal judge in boston.

brian: you know what kind of week it's been stocks in free fall with the dow closing below 20,000 for the first time in over three years. what do you need to know about your 401(k). here with advice is the ceo of i do noido dynamic money.

chris we are afraid to look at our 401(k). what if we did, what should we do? >> understandably. conventional wisdom says the best thing to do is to just keep contributing to your 401(k) and not to touch it. i understand it. and if you are in a place where you have a lot of liquidity. where you have a lot of money sitting in the bank. maybe that is great because the reality is if you sell off the money in your 401(k) we are 30% down right now. could you imagine selling your home if it was worth 30% less. you would want to wait. on the flip side if you are making contributions to it getting incredible discount on contributions and over time that pays off. the problem is a lot of people right now don't have much money at all sitting in savings. and even though it's great to have money long-term in a 401(k), the number one thing people need in a crisis type situation is the actual ability to have cash on hand. brian: right. >> that's the number one thing i'm concerned about is do people have cash on hand right now.

brian: avoid selling and keep contributing to your 401(k); however, if you don't have cash on hand, you might want to think about that. if you don't have that three months. and that brings us to point 2. 401(k401 contributions three mos of savings for you to feel good about contributing, right? >> yeah. i think there is many ways to do. this and goes against what a lot of people have heard. one important thing right now if you don't have savings, stop those contributions in the short-term because that's going to put more money in your paycheck that you can put away. not just that pay minimum payments on your debt right now. again, it goes against conventional thought. but you need as much money sitting liquid as you can so you be can flexible for whatever is coming. brian: if you are going to retire in the next five years have you got to go see a professional to find out what to do, correct? >> i really believe so. only because a few months ago it would be easy to give a solution here. but if you are close to retirement right now, what you

should do, what you should sell, how you should arrange your investments really needs to be based on the totality of your situation. do you have a pension? do you not? what are your options out there right now? so don't make any moves without talking to somebody who can give you objective advice about that. brian: five second answer, should we take money out if we need money out of the 401(k)? >> you know, honestly, if you are going to take money out, the best way is a loan. but that can be problematic with layoffs because a lot of layoffs mean you have to pay back that loan very quickly. brian: chris burns, thank you very much. very valuable advice. still to come on our show jerome adams, senator lindsey graham and owner of the detroit tigers all coming your way as well as dr. oz. tee-time savers. and especially medicare part d savers. so you probably know making walgreens your preferred pharmacy means up to $5 off on copays

steve: it is 7:00 in the east coast. take a look at this. empty streets and deserted restaurants all across the area from coast to coast as the deadly coronavirus spreads rapidly. we knew that the numbers would go up as testing starts. the number of cases worldwide surging to more than 9400. so far 150 people have died. the virus threatening the lives and livelihoods of millions. here in knox, cases doubled in just 24 hours. but that was. ainsley: confirming first deaths covid-19 northern border with canada closes overnight, brian. brian: the cdc reporting half of patients are under the age of

65. do you understand that? that's changing. president trump's task force warning it will likely get worse. >> when do you the kind of mitigation approaches that are being done right now, and all the other effort that's been going in right now, there will be more cases and they will continue to go up. that doesn't mean what we're doing is not having an important effect. steve: and he says it will have an important effect and is having an impact right now. as more people get tested, the nurse go up, brian. brian: the impact scene firsthand on capitol hill, two congressman testing positive for covid-19 overnight. democrat and republican. they are now out of commission. they are not able to vote. we talked about this, guys. especially in the senate. there was people -- some are under quarantine but are you going to continue to meet in settings, in capitol hill where you have to violate the distance rule. is it healthy?

are we going to have to go to some type of remote voting? ainsley: you have that group that was quarantined. then these two are actually testing positive. the president took a swab. he was tested. it became back negative. one of those marrow diaz blatt from florida says he has to self-quarantine in d.c. he decided not to go home because his wife has pre-existing conditions. he doesn't want to infect her. steve: i can understand that we have nicole saphier with us coming up very shortly also dr. oz and he will be talking to the surgeon as well. we have many, many questions. meanwhile yesterday the president, you probably saw it right here on the fox news channel invoked the war time defense powers to help defeat covid-19. brian brian the crucial action coming hours before signing a 100 billion-dollar coronavirus relief package. that's the second package. there could be a third one to come. ainsley: griff jenkins joins us live from washington. both sides of the aisle are working together to help

impacted americans. america first, right? griff: that's right. brian, ainsley, and steve good morning. everybody is working the same direction to break the back of this deadly virus. they are all being led by the president on a war footing. that means he has the authority to deploy naval assets and the power to compel private industry under a decade's old law critically needed medical supplies in it comes to that. >> we have tremendous numbers of ventilators, but there has never been an instance like this no matter what you have it's not enough. if we need to use it, we will be using it at full speed ahead. griff: today it's all eyes on capitol hill after the president signed that coronavirus relief packaging that provides free testing and emergency leave. lawmakers are negotiating on the administration's trillion-dollar stimulus package. the centerpiece 500 billion in direct cash payments to struggling americans. let me show you wh how it breaks down. 250 billion issued starting april 6th. another 250 billion mid may depending on income and

emphasize. it also has 600 billion to rescue small businesses and skwaoerly distressed sectors of the economy and 50 billion to the crushed airline industry. so, when do we expect this phase 3 to pass? well, very unclear, they are talking white house, republicans, democrats, everybody, schumer is indicating he wants to make sure workers get the priority not big businesses. so, expect some wrangling but senator lindsey graham sounds optimistic. >> i haven't seen this kind of spirit since 9/11. everybody is looking at each other as a ally, not a foe. allowing seniors to shop before everybody else in grocery stores. it's going to take that kind of spirit to defeat this. griff: let's hope he is right. the house is out speaker pelosi said they can call them back next week. interesting to point out how they accomplish the transmission of voting and moving things. washington doesn't move very quickly to begin with.

brian: right. griff: imagine trying to figure out these details. brian: senator schumer talking to the treasury secretary. schumer was relatively bipartisan yesterday, talking about how a lot of what they want overlap. so, hopefully, they can get on the same page and act quick because we need the third one, the third one is going to provide checks to people who just found out on monday they are out of work. thanks, griff. griff: thank you. steve: all right. let's bring in dr. nicole saphier. she joins us from -- in new jersey. her home studio. good morning to you, dr. saphier. ainsley: good morning. satisf>> good morning, guys. steve: we have heard from ambassador bricks how -- ambassr birx, play this soundbite and get this point of view on new reports coming out of europe. >> coming out of france and

*eulgts. about some young people getting seriously ill and very seriously ill in the icus. it may have been that the millennial generation, our largest generation our future generation that will carry us through for the next multiple decades there may be disproportional numbers among that group. steve: 40% of sick patients in the hospital are younger people between the ages of 20 and 54. >> thank you dr. birx for coming out and saying. this we continue to see spring breakers having little for what is going on. not only as a mother of three but my entire book "make america healthy again" i talk about how bad behavior and big government has caused our trillion-dollar health crisis. this is no different. this generation likes to take it to the street as aoc says. they do protests. they feel they are invincible. part of this is just being young

and not having compassion for those older. but part of that is also they are parenting as well. they are going to force themselves into a position of martial law where we are actually going to need to quarantine them. because if they can't make good choices for the betterment of our country, then we need to separate them that's not right. we are seeing fewer and fewer older people in the hospital because people are listening to dr. birx and dr. fauci. they are staying in and socially distancing. we need our younger generations to step up. i have a spring breaker. he is at home right now. he has been playing soccer with his little brothers. we have been doing board games. that's because i made him come home. where are their parents? brian: i know. they were on their way. the thing is maybe the mixed message going on in florida. talk to the governor later where the beaches in many 34r5euss are still open. still thinking what the heck? i'm not susceptible. i'm not going to be around my parents or grandparents. let's go party. not okay. we hopefully realize that now. >> that's the biggest problem,

brian. we don't want to get to the point where we have to shut everything down. we have to go to a socialized system. we want people to make better decisions and they need to take accountability for the betterment of our nation. brian: let's open it up and get some questions. email from duane, if you are getting food to go, what precautions are you required in order to consume the food without having to worry about getting covid-19? >> this is a great question. and, please, please, please, continue ordering from your local restaurants. we want to support these small businesses. we know that the virus can live on surfaces. you can call ahead and ask them what are the precautions they are doing? are they using masks to prepare the food? are they wearing gloves when they bring the food to you. you can have a no contact delivery leave the food at your doorstep and you don't have to come face-to-face with the delivery driver. throw away the packaging, maybe don't even bring it inside of your house. tends to stay more on the plastics, when you bring it into your house, wipe down all surfaces that it touches. use your own utensils and consider reheating it yourself

maybe in the microwave and wash your hands, of course, before you eat. ainsley: monday has this question on facebook is anybody healthy with no known health issues died from coronavirus? >> good question. and the thing is we don't know. the majority of cases are in those that are over 65 of age or those with pre-existing health conditions. the youngest patient i believe who has died was a 21-year-old however, at the time, he was found to also have leukemia which, of course, puts him at extreme severe risk there are a lot of cases of people dying where we don't have the information. it's absolutely possible that we have younger people dying without chronic illness. we don't just necessarily know yet. steve: we do indeed. a question from gracy on facebook. can construction workers still work at their jobs if they are outside? i was wondering the same thing. i heard hammering in my neighborhood yesterday. >> hey, you know what? being outside is the best thing right now. because they are in open air. and so as long as they are keeping an appropriate distance from their co-workers, i would

say continue working if you need to work. make sure you take off your clothes before you enter the house. wash your hands. maybe just go straight to the shower. you should probably do that anyway because being outside you want to do it. brian: real quick, dr. saphier, does having had covid-19 confer immunity? so if i had it once am i immune like measles? >> i have heard a lot of people say different things right now. the truth is, no. we have cases in china where they reported repeat infections. think of it as this is a coronavirus, it can also cause the common cold. how many times do you get the common cold. until they show me a legitimate study confer immunity like chicken box, measles and other things i would say you are likely to get reinfected. just because you have the first time doesn't mean you can't have it the second time. brian: thank you very much. ainsley: "make america healthy again" preorder it.

♪ steve: the president's rules on social distancing aiming to slow the spread of covid-19 within 15 days. but the surgeon warned yesterday perhaps that won't be enough. ainsley: so how much time will we need? surgeon dr. jerome adams joins us now. i know there are no cases in china this morning. how far behind are we? >> it took six to eight weeks to

lean in mitigation efforts to hit the peak and bring cases back down. as you mention no new cases that's why the president announced earlier this week guidelines of 15 days to stop the spread. we want to lean into it right now. really focus on it and then rewill reassess at the end of 15 days. right now hearing stories about kids on beaches. seeing people out running in the streets. we have got to take this seriously, america. brian: you can't run in the streets? >> you can run in the streets. you just need to stay six feet apart from your nearest neighbor. >> steve: what is your message to the spring breakers gathering in florida i saw images on instagram looks like still going on down in the bahamas. for those young people who are in groups of 10. what is the worry you have about them when they go home? >> well, as dr. birx mentioned yesterday at the press conference. we are seeing data emerging from italy that suggest that young people actually may be at increased risk as this virus tends to differently in

different countries. number two people over 65 at greatest risk especially those with underlying health conditions. the people spreading it to them are the younger people. we really want you to think about your grandmother. your grandfather, your nanna, your pop pop. please, to protect them, do the right thing we can do this for two weeks. but for heaven sake we don't want to go the pathway of italy. we want to look at what china is doing and be successful here in the united states. brian: absolutely. are you concerned as it governor cuomo concerned because new york seems to be number one in this that we are not going to have enough beds? does the u.s. ship comfort, does that fix that problem? >> well, i have actually served on the comfort and provided anesthesia care on there. it's a great backup and it's on its way up to new york city. the pherszy which is its sister ship on the west coast. that's the example of dod

helping out contributing. we also know dod contributed 5 million masks and over 2,000 ventilators. i said this to lou dobbs earlier this week this is about supply and demand. the president invoked the defense production act. working with other private industries and medical groups. the american society of thesologists say they can convert operating room ventilators and provide 70,000 additional ventilators. what i want folks to know the best way to make sure you don't run out of ventilators is to make sure you don't need a ventilator in the first place that's why mitigation efforts are so important. ainsley: you mentioned seeing it in younger patients now. so my question is, why is that? is it because it's mutating? is it because it's getting stronger as it spreads around the world? and how low do we see this go? will this effect our little ones? >> well, i talked to tony fauci about this a lot. he and i and ambassador birx talk about this every day. right now there is not a big fear that the virus is mutating. that said we are learning each and every day. what we are seeing is the virus

is playing out differently in different populations based on their mitigation efforts. based on their access to healthcare and based on who is getting sick. so, for instance, in south korea, they had a much younger population of people getting sick. and italy they had a much older population of people getting sick. and that's why you are seeing more deaths, i believe, over 400 just in the last 24 hours. steve: you know, dr. adams, as people get up and today is day four of your 15-days to stop the spread, as people get up in the morning and they see the number of corona cases in the united states going up, that disturbs them. it's like oh it's going the wrong way. but, at the same time, because we are trying to stop the spread and flattened the curve a million times. that's having an impact even though you are sitting at home all alone on the couch thinking what am i doing? >> well, incubation period for coronavirus on average is five days can be up to 14 days. the cases you are seeing right now are a reflection of what was happening two weeks ago.

and also you are seeing increased testing. so you are going to see a big blip over the next week just because more of these tests are come in. but, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be continuing to lean in to these efforts and it doesn't mean that it's not going to work. we are not going to see the results for two to three weeks. that's why it's so important that we do the right things now. brian: so after 15 days you don't see a massive release in people back in restaurants and health clubs? >> well, i don't. again, when you look at the china numbers. we are looking at maybe six to eight weeks before we hit our peak and start to come back down? brian: what do we believe from china? >> we believe if people isolate and stay in groups of under 10, we believe if people avoid nonessential travel. we believe if people stay home from work or telework spread the virus most effective thing. brian: but, doctor, we can't base our strategy off a country that kills whistleblowers, that would have prevented this whole worldwide pandemic? how do we believe the models

when we can't even get in there? >> well, china has been much better about sharing data back and forth. we are not just looking at china. we are looking at south korea. we are looking at italy and everywhere cases have popped up. again, the scientists feel very comfortable that these mitigation efforts will have an impact. but they require cooperation. they require 50 to 70% of the country really cooperating and doing their part. and that's what is most important right now. ainsley: dr. adams, we are all in the grocery stores and seeing people with gloves and seeing people with masks. i heard yesterday there is a proper way to put them on. put your mask on. remove your maverick, sanitize your gloves. keep your gloves on. take the mask off. what's true? >> i will keep it simple for folks. if you are going to go out in public, wash your hands before you go out. be careful what you touch. and if you touch anything, make sure you don't then touch your face because you could be taking the germs from the door handle or whatever you touch to your face.

and then when you leave the store, make sure you wash your hands, again, or hand sanitize again. very simple. don't get into this -- so worked up about getting it perfect. make sure you just don't introduce what's on the thing that you have touched to your own body. brian: a lot of people see therapeutics come forward. there is a japanese flu drug that's had a lot of success with 340 page. there is remdesphere. gilad. and this cleric antimalaria drug having positive results from stanford. any of those have some type of therapeutic treatment coming down the pike quickly. >> we are anticipating an announcement from the fda later today. i want to give steve hon and the fda a shoutout. they have done everything possible to lower regulatory barriers and get testing out there quickly.

five hours they approved ema. they are trying to unleash the power of the private industry and research field to get therapeutics approved as quickly as possible. you will hear more about these trials. i want people to know that even in the best of scenarios, you are looking at summertime before these therapeutics are going to be wildly available. a year or more before vaccines are wildly available. that's why right now we need to make sure we are practicing good hygiene and social distancing. steve: mr. surgeon general. he was going to sign that thing that essentially allowed him to work with corporations and businesses to go ahead and if the government needs bigger surprise of ventilators. >> the defense production act, yes. steve: thank you very much. who is the federal government talking to about making more ventilators and more masks? many stories out there saying we could hit the wall and not have enough of either.

>> well, important for people to know that the private and commercial markets buy $1 trillion of medical supplies compared to half a billion for the national strategic stockpile. that means the federal government typically buys less than one tenth of 1% of medical supplies out there. what the president has done first of all is encouraged hospitals in local areas to look at their supply chain and make sure they are routeing the supplies to where they need to be. which is why you heard yesterday that we called on people to stop elective surgeries and make sure you are reserving those splice. defense production act means the president can take over production. we have had good conversations with 3 m. with ventilator manufacturers to really get them to ramp up their production and the bill passed last night means that 3 m can make n 95 masks available to medical professionals across the country. brian: that's encouraging. go ahead, ainsley. ainsley: a lot of people if they are sick go to the emergency room. i will talked to a friend last knight had to take her brother who is on dialysis who has a lot

of problems to the emergency room. she didn't want her parents to do it because they are sick, too. she goes, in everyone is chaotic. everyone is in a mask. everywhere has gloves. she goes home to her five children and she is really scared that she might have contracted something. any advice for people who do need to go to the er for other things? >> i would say first of all, call first. because we want to make sure we are sending you to the safest place and the most appropriate place and you are not going to the er that we can take care of in a different environment. call first. the other thing that i would want to highlight and people aren't talking about this enough. cms, seema verma put out new tele health rules earlier this week allow much greater availability of this service people across the country with no co-pay and that is a great way to talk to your doctor without having to go in to a dangerous environment, to make sure people aren't being unnecessarily exposed. so we are thinking about that a lot. it's also why we are sending in the mercy and comfort to upload

some of this other medical conditions from these hospitals that may be taking care of covid-19. steve: it's great to know what the government's response is and it's great to hear from the point person surgeon general dr. jerome adams. >> coronavirus virus.gov. and hello to my mother. she watches you every day. ainsley: where does she live? >> in bluffton, indiana. steve: restaurants and small businesses have been forced to adapt to a new normal here in america as they reduce their staff and shut their doors for arrested to of time. up next, the panel of business owners on how they are reinventing the way they do business. next. he'd be proud of us. protect your family, your business and everyone who counts on you. see how lincoln can help.

♪ steve: the pandemic has hit small businesses really hard as states enforce closures and customers practice social distancing. many restaurants and bars and businesses are closing their doors all together and cutting staff while the u.s. fights the crisis. so how are owners adapting to what is for right now the new normal? let's bring in our small business owner panel joining us right now tom boucher, the ceo

of great new hampshire restaurants. m.r.i. stockton forme shoe and owner of gumby's pizza. let's go around the horn and talk about everybody's circumstances. tom, tell us what your business is doing right now because with the orders up in new hampshire, i would imagine not much is going on. >> no. and, you know, we are actually running with what we call a skeleton crew right now. and it's all of our salaried managers. as soon as we got word from the governor that we had to shut down, you know, without customers, we can't afford to pay employees. and my heart is breaking right now for our employees. and employees across the country and in the hospitality industry. without customers, we can't afford to just pay them without

income come in. steve: i completely understand and we are looking at one of your restaurants. in fact, it's a restaurant that i had a steak in about three weeks ago when we were up in new hampshire. maureen, tell us about your business. >> so, forze shoe shopper help women stretch and shape their shoes when they are going out. women aren't going out. consumer product companies look to consumers being happy and not hoarding so the businesses that are benefiting now people are focused on buying groceries and pharmaceuticals which is the right focus. but our business has gone down by two thirds from where we were two weeks ago. so my concern is will i need to cut off service vendors? the last thing i want to do is lay off an employee, but i'm looking at these things and looking at how we reinvent our

messaging to respond to what's happening now. steve: forest there at gumby's pizza, i understand you are trying to be as creative as possible. still people aren't going out. tell us about your delivery service? >> you know, we have adapted. we have gone to contact-free delivery where can you place an order online, pay online and deliver it without ever even having contact with your customer. and we have just tried to adapt to be different. i think there is some great leadership here at the state of texas. governor abbott released some great changes. and that's going to allow us to start delivering alcohol today. we are trying to adapt daily. it's a new thing for us. every morning we wake up and doing the best to try to keep as many of my employees working and people in the markets. we rely on their help to keep us going. steve: right. tom, real quick, you say if a business is hurting, you should reach out to the ren doors and talk to your banks and even small business administration is offering some loans, right?

>> yes, exactly. this is moving at lightning speed. i have never experienced anything like this in my life. i think even our grandparents haven't experienced like this. and, yes, reach out to your banks, your vendors, your insurance companies. so incredibly helpful. our governor -- steve: indeed, start that conversation with your people. maureen, real quickly, you are having supplier issues, right? >> well, actually, the whole supply chain has been flipped on its head. three weeks ago i was worried about getting product from china. now my factory is ready to ship. they are fine. i have issues now with warehouse distribution. i use amazon as one of my distribution points. and they have prioritized household necessities over every other consumer product. so myself and any other vendor

using amazon is challenged. steve: to. , finally, given the fact that you are trying to reinvent your business with the pizza delivery, business is actually pretty good. you are looking to hire people, right? >> we are trying to do everything we can and thanks to being able to deliver alcohol, we have to be able to hire some more drivers and my first priority is to make sure the staff that we have is working. but, we are actually trying to make every change we can to help everybody and there is a lot of service industry people in this town that are out of work as of yesterday. and anything we can do to try and minimize the amount of people that don't have gainful employment right now, we are trying to do. steve: we know it's impacting every american and particularly small business. so, our thanks to tom and maureen and forest from all over the country talking about what's going on where they work. thank you very much. all right. meanwhile 25 minutes before the top of the hour. a 100 billion-dollar relief package just signed by the president after receiving bipartisan support in congress.

next? senate majority whip, senator john thune joins us now. senator, you passed 100 billion yesterday. what are the chances of you getting together on a trillion today? >> i'm hoping the chances are really good. you know, obviously, phase 1 was the first aid. yesterday was phase 2 the president signed that into law. phase 3 will be focused on workers, the employees, people displaced by all. this small businesses providing assistance to them. obviously continuing to support our medical and healthcare professionals who are on the front lines. but, it will be a much bigger deal. this is going to require swift and bold action. these are extraordinary times. and this response reflects that. i'm hopeful that we can really come together here in the senate in the next few days and get this done in a timely way. because i think it needs to be done. it's very time-sensitive. ainsley: the senate passed and voted 90-8. biggest concern was for the small business owner. they just said, look, they are

trying to separate their businesses. we want their employees to be taken care of but we are not sure they can afford it according to this bill. what's your plan for small business owners? >> main thing for small business owners ainsley get liquidity. cash flow to get them through to the other side. we will get to the other side. there were some provisions to help their workers, particularly those quarantined or sick or caring for loved ones in the last relief package. the next one will focus specifically on small business owners and ensuring they have that cash flow. we developed a plan which we think is very workable and uses some existing sort of delivery systems to get assistance out to these small businesses because the main thing we want to see happen is we want them to keep people employed. they are obviously going to have to furlough some people in the near term. we don't want them laid off and then those jobs not coming back when we recover. we will recover. we are trying to make sure they have got that cash flow. they have that liquidity. they can continue to operate. i'm hearing, you know, from

1345u8 businesses in my state of south dakota just like everyone else is about businesses are shut down. there is just no traffic. people are social distancing. steve: we just had a small business panel and they are hurting. senator, for the people who are not part of a small business and they are just individuals. they know they have heard that they are either going to get $1,000 check or $2,000 check and kids are going to get checks. i know it's not written in stone yet. but just basically for the people at home sitting on their couches right now worried about the future, what can you tell them about how the federal government is going to help them? >> the thing that we are looking at doing, steve, and, of course, this is still -- we have got to negotiate with the democrats. steve: ,. >> this is not a done deal yet. what has been suggested, the president has put this forward and there is a lot of republican support for it here in the senate. is to do something along the lines of what was done back in 2008. and that is to get it out there quickly. get dollars back into the economy. and that would be in the checks in the form of, you know, individual checks to singles. somewhere those making 75,000,

married couples, 150,000. and then as you pointed out per child an amount and it would be upwards of 1,000, perhaps hopefully higher than that. per individual. but it would help ease this -- all the dislocation and disruption that's been caused by the coronavirus. and people whose lives have been adversely impacted economically. so i would say this package is going to be more focused on the economic impacts that average families are feeling and small businesses are feeling. also, dealing, continuing to deal with the healthcare crisis as well. brian: okay. by april 6th. one payment could come. by may 18th, the second payment could come. we think maybe $1,000 each. the threshold $75,000 for couples, 150. here is my question to you, senator, what do democrats want where you think is a bridge too far. senator schumer and the treasury secretary are speaking. >> that's right. the democrats have their own ideas. a lot of their ideas have to do

with using government programs to get the assistance out there we think a much cleaner, more efficient and swifter way is to get checks out the door and get them in the hands of the american people. so they are talking about a different mechanism, i'm told there is some discussion about using the unemployment insurance accounts that the states maintain to help deliver assistance. and that's one idea that's out there. but, i would hope in the end we can agree around an approach that does get assistance out there as quickly as possible to the people who need it. and the check approach that the president has put forward and that many of us up here think make sense i think is probably the best way to do that but we will see. we have got to negotiate as i said with the democrats. brian: why did you try to jam afghanistan war funding in this. >> that wasn't anything we were doing. we had one of our members who offered an amendment, basically, to, yesterday, to offset the cost of that bill that we passed yesterday with funding from closing down the war effort in

afghanistan. that failed 90 to 3. or 97 to 3 i think it was. there wasn't support for that. that's not something that we'll be contemplating. brian: good. steve: senator john thune, we know you are awfully busy. thank you very much for joining us from what sounds like a very deserted u.s. capitol. >> it's a little quiet here. thank you. we appreciate it. ainsley: jillian is upstairs she has headlines for us. jillian: good morning. we begin with this fox news alert. a powerful tornado tears through northeast texas overnight. take a look at this damage, the twister mangling cars and trucks in a parking lot. police estimate at least 75 cars are damaged. the same tornadoes ripping through two homes, tearing the roof off one. high winds blowing over the barbed wire fence and a maximum security state prison. look at that and then a small brick building completely demolished the tornado touched down outside of abilene. overnight harley-davidson suspends production at u.s. factories after a worker tests

ainsley: let's listen to that first. >> the phase 3 will be focused on workers, the employees, people who have been displaced by all of this, small businesses providing assistance to them. the main thing we want to see happen is keep people employed. what has been suggested. the president has put this forward and a lot of republican support for it here in the senate is to do something along the lines that was done in 2008, get it out there quickly. get dollars back into the economy and that would be in the checks -- in the form of individual checks. steve: ainsley. ainsley: that's so important. remember when the economy started to do really well and we had so many financial experts come in the show and say, look, the good news it's helping everyone, we have more money in our pockets, we go out and we spend. what is happening, people are spending on cleaning items, packing, stocking refrigerators with items and pantries but we are not buying clothing. so many businesses have shut down, you have restaurants that

are closing hoping that people will support small businesses and get carry-out food and that kind of thing but not enough to keep them in business. steve: nobody wants to spend money because they don't know the future. ainsley: senator thune, absolutely, i thought, i don't know what that looks like,i don't want to spend my money right now. brian: if they are going to give out money, threshold is 150,000, you have 3 kids at home and you suddenly don't qualify if you make 150,000 per couple or 75,000 each, you have to help more americans than that? ainsley: maybe next phase. steve: keep in mind all details so far are just suggestions. they haven't actually voted on anything yet. meanwhile let's bring in memet

oz, memet, sounds like your show is shut down for right now? >> we are going to shut it down. we have had enough shows out there telling what is happening and i built a studio in my own home so i can broadcast from here. it's hard-working folks, i'm so proud of the team. they kept coming every single day but at certain point it becomes a challenge because the risk on the way to work no matter how careful you are with social distancing. ainsley: how is your staffer doing who reported positive last night? >> he's fine. reimmediately removed himself. as soon as he felt off, he left. i tell you he would not have normally gotten tested.

there are a lot of people who had coronavirus and they don't know they've had coronavirus. you don't know because you haven't been tested. brian: dr. oz, big story today or one to have major stories today young people susceptible to the illness, cdc saying 34 -- excuse me, 34% are under 65. that's a big difference. >> well, we saw this data actually coming back from other countries as well. in france half of the people in icu is under age of 65. it's not that it doesn't affect younger people but doesn't kill them. i'm not sure what it's here right now. a lot of young folks have to get through a difficult time and true that people in their teens and 20's, under the age of 10 we haven't had a death but after that, bets are off.

steve: because -- we heard from ambassador, she said millennials really held the keys to this because they may not wind up dying from it in great numbers but they pass it onto grandma and grandma gets very sick. a couple of days ago we had your son oliver and staying away from people and social distancing. that's also a topic we took up with the surgeon general just about 45 minutes ago. listen to. this. >> people over 65 are at the greatest risk especially those with underlying conditions. we know the people who are spreading it to them are the younger people. we really want you to think about your grandmother, grandfather, nana , papa, for heaven's sake, we don't want to pathway of italy. we want to look at what china is

doing and be successful here in the united states. steve: dr. oz, one of the things that get people aggregated over the last couple of days images out of florida where you have spring breakers congregating of groups larger than ten. >> we have to focus on the vast majority of gen z's, oliver's age, this is a generation and stepping up and making sacrifices. they are doing charitable things for folks, distancing themselves from grandparents. i know a few people who are on vacation in texas, florida, that's not reflective of that generation. i tell you, the first time since this whole pandemic started the spread, i actually feel like the doctors are calmer than the average american. we have two problems here, the virus and we will beat the virus, there's no way we won't get past it even in worst case

scenarios. brian: it's important to point out that retired doctors and nurses were asked to come back because the situation is so desperate and over came back and put on the rubber gloves again. that's pretty awesome. katherine writes this to you, dr. oz, prolonged exposure to the virus have effect on severity? >> not that we know of. it's not how long you've been next to it but whether you got exposed to it. it's already infectious to thrive and survive in human species. ainsley: motrin, advil, not recommended for treating symptoms, is aspirin best option? >> it's tylenol.

the french raised the possibility that some patients are having more patients because motrin affects receptors in the lungs and i tell you, most of experts i've spoken to can't figure out why that would be but theoretically it's there, until we solve it take -- >> steve: e-mail from janey, all hand soaps are equal, there's the rush for the soup that's the orange antibacterial stuff, do you need that? >> you do not need that. antibacterial soup doesn't work for viruses, period. the soup itself is valuable because it actually pokes holes in the virus. it washes the virus off but destroys the virus, works not just on hand, laundry and

dishwasher, those products are clean when you pull them out and can be used. brian: e-mail from bart, if they're only testing people with covid-19 that are strong symptoms, how do they have any idea how many people actually have the virus and are asymptomatic? >> we don't know. it's impossible to tell. we are sure there are a lot of people that we know, plus the nasal swab, that's not 100% test either. the blood tests that are more accurate but that's hard to scale up to the entire population. we just need to test folks in order to know who to quarantine. this is a very important issue. in america we are taking a bit of a shock at approaching some cities which were forced to do because they don't have testing but once you have testing which is what they did in south korea and take folks who are having issues and get them out of the main population, you suffocate the virus, pandemic pretty quickly. that's how we can address the virus without suffocating the economy.

ainsley: can mosquito bites carry coronavirus and if so should we be spreading like crazy. >> they don't think they carry the virus. brian: real quick, can i ask you encouraging things that you're getting on therapeutics, the japanese flu drug, and the stanford study that has cloric which is antimalaria? >> think about the scenario, we have medication that is work for other illness, hib and -- hiv and malaria. we also have medications that stop the virus from replicating once you get and stop complications from the virus that block off people's arteries which is the main reason they die.

we have a lot of options, those drugs should be funded aggressively right now and i haven't seen enough attention to that and that slows the trials done. if we can get trials out, they'll be available for us very quickly. brian: that would be awesome. steve: dr. oz, for the people who are hunkering down, self-isolating like you are in new jersey as well with your family, they've got to know that what they're doing, the social distancing by staying in your house is helping. this is having an impact, isn't it? >> without question. don't focus on total virus scores. that's not the point. we know there's a lot of people who have coronavirus. when you test more, you will identify more. i look at mortality numbers, older folks being cautious. i called every single person in my family and friends who i thought was older who was at risk. you should do the same. we will see the mortality numbers level off next week.

2 weeks in the future that you're predicting but i'm pretty confident what the surgeon general said, half of the game is mental set. we know we will get ahead in 2 weeks we will know exactly how successful we are. we can begin to see how to release challenge that is we've offered the american public and then about 6 to 8 weeks through the worse of it. i think that prediction is going to turn out to be accurate. ainsley: really quickly, answer this fast, if you touch, eyes, nose and mouth we know that's how it's contracted. if you touch your cheek, the virus can't move? >> it can't move. directly mucous member -- membrane, that's how you get it. brian: 16 minutes after the hour. straight ahead we have been showing you shocking images of spring breakers partying in florida, not unusual most times of year but unusual in 2020 because we told them not to.

ainsley: we've been showing you images of partyers of in spring break in florida. steve: at least 20 people in that picture but now seems the party may be over as bars and restaurants are closed and some cities have decided to close their beaches. florida governor ron desantis joins us right now from tallahassee, governor, good morning to you. ainsley: good morning. >> good morning. steve: those images are disturbing because the cdc says no group more than ten and you see the stuff and i understand

clearwater beach, naples have decided to close their beaches to -- to groups but at the same time you're not closing the state beaches to groups of less than 10, right? >> so the message i think for spring breakers is the party is over in florida, you're not going to be able to congregate on any beach in the state. many of the hot spots that people like to go to whether it's miami beach, ft. lauderdale and clearwater, maybe come back next year but that's not what we are looking for in the state of florida. every single beach will have to abide by cdc guidelines, not every beach will remain open but some with. we have sheriff's deputy in

brevard county out on atv's making sure there's no groups. that's a good approach. i would point out that the images on clearwater was from the saturday. at that point the cdc guidance was groups of 250 and more and on sunday they changed to 50 and then on monday they changed it to 10 and so at that point, okay, we need to stare clear of any large groups so we did it for the beaches and then we did it for the bars and closed the bars down and i also would say this, we are seeing massive cancellations. some were pictures of people that started going down here and a lot of the stuff you will see a lot fewer people coming to florida right now. the numbers are off the charts in terms of cancellations. ainsley: so glad that you came

onto explain that. i was going to ask you what do you say to critics that say you should have done it a lot sooner. all of those were canceled. i was reading a story that clearwater is not closing beaches until monday. >> right, so they have to make their decisions as to how they see it but regardless of local decisions, you're not going to be able to congregate like those images that you saw. that's just not something that we are going to allow and so you want to work constructively with the locals to get the best solutions but i would also say that when you have the types of cancellations, that's going to have a major affect on workers in the state of florida. our unemployment rate prior to this got to 2.8%. i mean, just we are -- economy was humming, things were going along great and now the external event, the virus will dislocate a lot of people and so we are very mindful of that and we are

working hard to be able to work with them just as we work to be able to protect our citizens from the virus. steve: sure, when you talk to the president and the white house team, what do you tell them your main concern is? >> for us it's just supplies. i mean, we've ramped up testing but i need more swabs, i need more of the reagents, if we have that, we could dramatically expand the testing and i think that will really help us because part of the problem with some of the stuff that we've been doing and i don't quarrel with it, it's not really based on data in our country. it's more based on modeling. when you get the more test in there like south korea did, you're able to isolate cases and figure out where the problem is and have nice targeted solution. that's the number 1. the ppe, the swabs, the different things that go into testing, the more we can get of those, we can get into a group here and i think we would be

able to help a lot of people and prevent this virus from spreading to the extent it has. ainsley: you have a lot of snow birds that will stay there, but a lot of our friends canceled their trips to bahamas, europe, whatever, and they all ended up in florida. i hope they didn't carry it down there. god bless you. >> well, people are being mindful. folks are taking this seriously and we thank them particularly our senior citizens. ainsley: yeah. steve: all about personal responsibility. sir, thank you very much, good luck. >> thanks. steve: 8:26 here in new york city. as you know, in the sports world baseball is opening day is on hold but every major league team now stepping up to the plate to help workers sideline by this pandemic. ainsley: detroit tigers owner christopher is leading the charge in this and he will join us next.

a barn. an arena. more fence. and hay. lots of hay. so you need a tractor built to do it all. and do it right. you need the power to handle anything. you need versatile performance matched-attachments. you need the #1 selling compact tractor for a decade. the kubota l series tractors.

i opened a sofi money account and it was the first time that i realized i could be earning interest back on my money. i just discovered sofi, and i'm an investor with a diversified portfolio. who am i?! i refinanced with sofi and i was able to cut my interest rate by forty percent. thank you sofi. billions of problems. morning breath? garlic breath? stinky breath?

there's a therabreath for you. therabreath fresh breath oral rinse instantly fights all types of bad breath and works for 24 hours. so you can... breathe easy. there's therabreath at walmart. brian: all right, coronavirus pandemic causing major league baseball to postpone season as you know. we could still have one, just don't know when. part time hourly employees out of a paycheck. all 30 teams have pledged

1 million-dollar each to help staffers in an effort led by the detroit tigers. joining us more the ceo of detroit tigers, christopher ilitch. appreciate it. >> brian, good morning, pleasure to be with you. brian: little cesars and red wings, first let's talk about baseball. how important to let the part time workers know money will be coming? >> well, it's very important. these are the folks we feel that are going to be the hardest hit in our organization by this crisis and by the postponement of games and, you know, by way of background, we are a 60-year-old company with a very strong family culture and. there are folks in our organization tend to look after one another and when we saw the nba shutting down last week and nhl, you know, we decided that we wanted to move in a way to help our -- our most exposed and

that would be our part-time event colleagues and we committed a million dollars to support our part-time event colleagues that work at little cesars when are -- arena and where detroit tigers play and as you mentioned this week major league baseball came together, all 30 teams agreed to support our event, leagues who are all part-timers with a million dollars each at every ball club. detroit tigers are proud to commit a million dollars to part-time event colleagues. brian: that's awesome, chris. a lot of people worried about the ushers, parking attendants, some supplement their income,

and they count on that and others that is their income. next you also help out people like the minor league players. people under the impression that you're rich and you're not, the minor league is getting by, how are you helping out the players? >> yes, so we've committed to continue to pay all of our minor league players their spring training allowances throughout the duration of what would have been spring training. you're exactly right, a lot of minor league players don't earn a lot, the allowances are important. it's about taking care of families and -- and we consider all of the colleagues within our organization as our family and we are just trying to do things that hopefully bring them a little bit of comfort and certainty and what are uncertain times for all of them. brian: they like to know they work for people who care. lastly, a lot of people wondering and projecting as mark

cuban last week when we talked to them, when are you guys going to get back? you have high-level meetings and you to prepare and when do you think you will play once again? >> we don't have an answer for you. we don't know when all of this is going to end but what i can tell you that in addition to what we are trying to do in the sports world, we are an organization that also is a very strong community culture. we are trying to look at ways within our own community that we can help others that are having a tough time throughout the crisis. there's a great example here in detroit. there's a real need for access to food, and so we took all of the food from our closed arena and our ballpark that was gearing up for opening day, we had 3 tons worth of food and that we no longer needed and we

donated that to forgotten harvest which is a kitchen here in detroit to make sure it gets in the hands of those folks who need it most, so, you know, i think in tough times, good people rise up and that's happening across america, that's certainly happening here at detroit, it's important that we all pull together as a community to help one another out. brian: absolutely. a lot of peanuts, popcorn and cracker jacks and hot dogs. appreciate it, hopefully we will talk about baseball again and trade deadline of all-star game. great thing that your family is doing. 25 minutes before the top of the hour, 100 billion-dollar relief packaged signed by the president last night receiving bipartisan support in congress. so what's next on their agenda? how about over a trillion dollars? we will ask senator lindsey graham who is going to get that

money. molly: my np spends a lot of time with me and gives me a lot of attention which led to my diagnosis. she initiated tests and found out what was wrong. she's treated both my children since they were born. bridgette: i feel that my np cares about me as a person and not just if i'm sick or not. molly: and i really love my nurse practitioner because we have such a strong connection. i know that whenever i call, she'll be there for me. my name is molly and we choose nps. np: consider an np. when patients choose, patients win.

>> we are looking at maybe 6 to 8 weeks before we hit peak and start to come down but we believe if people isolate and stay in groups of under 10, we believe people avoid nonessential travel, we believe if people stay home from work or

telework that those are effective ways to got virus. we are looking at south korea and italy and scientists feel very comfortable that the mitigation efforts will have an impact but they require cooperation, 50 to 70% of the country really cooperating and doing their part and that's what's most important right now. steve: you have the surgeon general on this program 90 minutes ago talking about isolating, someone who knows what exactly that is like south carolina senator lindsey graham. chairman of the senate judiciary committee. he's out of his self-isolation. he got the test. it was negative. senator, for the people who are watching and worried about this self-isolation that they are going through right now by not being, you know, close to other people, what advice do you have for them because it's so important that we do that? >> well, what are we trying to accomplish here? america is under attack by a

virus. how do you kill the virus, deny human contact. the battle plan is no social gatherings, no eating out, no school, no sports, staying basically hunkered down in place, reduce work opportunity, living off less income, that's how it would kill the virus. unlike 911 where 1% had been fighting the terrorist, 100% are foot soldiers in this battle. if you're out of work, congress will try to give you a paycheck. the small business administration never envisioned all the small businesses needing loans, so this package we are working on called phase 3 is designed in my view to give people income to get through this. ainsley: senator, some people don't understand what is going on in washington, we heard phase

1, phase 2, and now phase 3, would you tell us what's going to happen, who will benefit from all of this? >> if you're out of work you need pay. here is what i'm working on with democrats and in south carolina you can apply for unemployment insurance, maximum payment is $623, not nearly enough to get through this. you may be hunkered down 6 weeks or longer. i'm willing to pay 75% of people's income up to $80,000 to get us through that. this ought to be enough money to get us next 6 to 8 weeks. brian: senator, you to raise the threshold a little bit. couples that are 150 and singles 75, if you make $150,000, you take home about 90. you have 3 kids, i believe that they have to be addressed too.

the middle-class matters. >> before the virus you had an income, right? if you weren't working your own unemployment, welfare, after the virus, you're not working. i want to restore your income. i don't want to give you a thousand dollars and say good luck, i want an income stream, either comes from employer, willing to lend -- let every employer borrow money to make payroll as long as they do payroll and i'm willing to increase unemployment benefits can you get most of your check. steve: senator graham, what is going on in washington it's something that we haven't actually seen happen much over the last couple of years and that is you're talking to democrats, democrats are talking to republicans, stuff is getting done. >> yeah. steve: this is what everybody in america needs you to do right now and it looks like you're -- you know, congress is rising to the occasion. >> yeah, the impeachment debacle has been replaced by the spirit

of 911. i think america is under attack, it's under attack by a virus that can be destroyed if we stay away from each other. virus needs human contact to survive. all of the social distancing staying out of school, not going out to eat is going to kill the virus over time, but republicans and democrats have one mission in phase 3 in my view, is to make sure that you get most of your income, if not all of it, most of it and how do you do that, you do it through loans, businesses, you can do it through unemployment system, but we have to work together like people are at home. brian: senator, i have to ask you, story in washington post that jared kushner is running a parallel relief plan with the vice president, they are on separate tracks and working against each other, not on the same page, you talk to the president as much as anyone. is this, in fact, true? >> it would be news to me. this is a wartime president. i talked to him last night.

he is going to try to come up with a battle plan to kill the virus as soon as possible and help the economy stabilize until we get through this. i haven't seen any in-fighting personally. you can kill the virus if you stay away from each other. brian: is it acceptable for them to be working on different paths? >> st unacceptable for us to be working in different paths. democrats and republicans, what do you have, constituents out of work, what do you do with people that have lost work in myrtle beach, ainsley, you give them a paycheck. you can forgive the loan later. all about should be about income stability. you just lost your job, i will do everything i can to make sure in the next 48 hours or 72 hours you find a way to replace your income. brian: you know what the

president's message at 11:00 o'clock today? >> 3 things to look for. the day we have fewer cases, that's turning the corner. reduce mortality, that's turning the corner. when a voczone is on the horizon, that will be turning the corner. i think at 11:00 o'clock you will hear optimistic news about therapies and treatments to save people's lives, but until then, follow the battle plan. stay at home. steve: you did stay at home when you were self-isolating and you ran into somebody in mar-a-lago. for the people isolating, do you know how to pass the time because it's driving people crazy? >> yes, i watched the crown, i watched the vietnam war. i stayed on the phone. we get to know each other whether we like it or not. compare this to world war ii. we had blackouts, we mad most of our sons and daughters going to foreign lands to get killed. this is not that kind of

commitment. it is a serious moment in american history to defeat the virus. all you have to do is stay at home and make sure that if you get sick, you're responsible about it. steve: that is so well put. lindsey graham. ainsley: always good to see you. >> thank you. steve: meanwhile schools nationwide are closed because of covid-19 and our next guest wants to help students and perhaps their teachers by providing 10,000 scholarships, that'ssu next.
