the big idaho potato truck is touring america telling folks about idaho potatoes. and i want it back. what is it with you and that truck? >> fiddling with the emotions of the american people, fiddling with the markets, fiddling with our health care, the american people expect us to act tomorrow. >> shortfalls of money that our hospitals, state, cities, desperately need. it's inexplicable to skimp on funding to address the pandemic. jillian: the fight to pass the relief bill heating up on capitol hill as democrats move to push back a vote that was supposed to happen hours from now. rob: ohio congressman bill johnson is well versed on negotiations like these as a member of the problem solvers caucus and house budget committee. he joins us this morning live. you're a member of the problem

solvers caucus, that's what you guys do, solve problems, right? >> we get in the room and we focus on what we agree on and that's what -- that's where we thought we were yesterday. it was clear to me that majority leader mcconnell and minority leader schumer had worked out a deal until speaker pelosi came back into town and inserted herself into those noshing united nationses -- those negotiations and blew it up. this is not the time to be playing politics. jillian: what are the sticking points? >> you heard what senator schumer said but i disagree with him totally. the four parts of this bill as i understood is, giving business retention loans to help america's small businesses, giving americans cash in their pocket to meet the bare necessities of life and get the things they need over the next few weeks, unemployment

insurance for workers as well and then a large tranche to help hold up america's industries, our corporations and businesses that we're going to have to come back to. those are the businesses that put americans to work and it was my understanding that we had a deal. but now nancy pelosi has pretty much ripped the check up that the senate was planning to send to the american people, much like she did the president's state of the union address only this time she throug threw it ie face of the american people. rob: it sounds like that big trough of money you were talking about that's going to go towards a number of industries in the country is what democrats have a problem with, i think they have a problem with it not being specific enough about how the money will be spent. is that your understanding? and how can that be remedied? >> i'm not there on the senate floor. i watched some of the debate as it unfolds.

but senator mnuchin has broad discretionary authority to help those industries that need the help the most. look, we've got industries all over this country that are changing their manufacturing processes so they can produce medical equipment, auto manufacturers that are trying to produce ventilators, masks, et cetera, personal protective equipment for our health care workers. i've heard the president's daily updates every day, just like you guys have, and he's talked repeatedly about the need to make sure that our health care workers have what they need. so here's what i do know. i spent 27 years almost in the united states air force. indesigdecisiveness when you'rea conflict is deadly and we cannot afford to get locked down into political gridlock when we need to make sure that the american

people are taken care of first. and we need the senate to act. jillian: absolutely. sir, let's take a look at some numbers of the coronavirus cases in your state, in ohio. right now, there are 356 confirmed cases with three deaths. the governor of your state, mike dewine, announced a stay at home order for ohio. ohio joins a bunch of other states with those orders right now. is this the right move? >> well, i'm not going to second guess the governor. i've talked to a lot of business owners that are concerned about a stay at home order. the governor did give flexibility in that order. so business owners have some flexibility to determine what's essential and what is not. and i applaud him for doing that. but, look, at the end of the day, you're going to have people that are going to say this is an overreaction and some people may even say that it's an underreaction. here's what we know for sure. you can't measure what doesn't happen. we will never be able to measure the number of lives that we've

saved. we'll only be able to measure the number of graves a that we dig. and we're praying that we don't have to dig any more. but the way to stop that is to stop the spread of this chinese coronavirus and the governor's doing everything that he can to make that happen. so i applaud his leadership. rob: congressman, thank you for your time. we do appreciate it. >> thank you very much. rob: 16 minutes after the hour. and more than 30 million children who get their meals at school at risk of going hungry as states shut down to stop the spread of this virus. jillian: organizations big and small are moving to fill the void including our next guest who runs a restaurant in hard-hit new york city. he joins us live.

jillian: good morning. welcome back. happening today, the u.s. navy hospital ship mercy will set sail for los angeles. the mercy is being fitted to be able to treat up to 1,000 patients at a time. her sister ship, the comfort, is expected to arrive in new york city in a few weeks. california's governor gavin newsom praising the president on twitter, saying president trump has approved our request to deploy the mercy to los angeles, grateful for the quick response and partnership at real donald trump. senator chris murphy blasted by the nra after he attacks their new ad. >> as a breast cancer survivor who is disabled, i hope i survive the coronavirus. that's up to god. what's in my control is how i defend myself if things go from bad to worse.

jillian: on twitter, murphy called the ad sickening, accusing the gun rights group of telling people to stockpile weapons for a coronavirus civil war. the nra quickly fired back saying the democrat was using the coronavirus to, quote, strip americans of second amendment rights. gun sales have spiked as the virus spreads. rob: classrooms are closed across the country as a result of coronavirus. impacting more than 54 million students with a concerning number of them now at risk of going hungry. one new york restaurant says that is unacceptable and is doing its part to keep those kids fed and healthy despite their own economic uncertainty in this economy right now. joining me live right now, operating partner at mamawatta cafe, william pedilla. thank you for coming on. appreciate it. >> good morning, rob. appreciate you having me. rob: i think a lot of people

would be scared to know that so many kids in the country get maybe their best meal of the day or only meal of the day through a school lunch program, is that right. >>.>> 100%. especially lower income communities such that we're surrounded with. we decided to on sunday when the schools had been closed, we decided to kind of pitch in and help the community and of course help feed some kids. so on sunday we decided to take that task on, unbeknownst to us on monday mayor de blasio closed the understands wher restaurantn only do take-out. it made it more difficult to mitigate financially but since we made that commitment, we decided to move forward and not only -- it became more of a bigger task because then the

public schools got closed. so we had a bigger flow of kids coming through the restaurant. we had some volunteers, some of our staff volunteers, because as you know once the restaurant got closed we basically put 30 people out of work. which was pretty disheartening. rob: it's really unbelievable. what's so incredible is that restaurants are probably the most vulnerable businesses we have, the margins are always tight at a restaurant. for you guys to do this is unbelievably selfless. what made you feel compelled to do this? where did this come from? >> well, you know, i'm a retired firefighter, fire office in new york city. we have a big heart for kids. i grew up in a lower income home, single parent, and i knew what it was to go to school and depend on that meal because at times at home there just was not -- it was just not there.

so we definitely -- lower income communities, lower income kids do depend on these meals to be part of their daily nutrition and so i associate because of my background and my past, i associate that, with that quite a bit and we took on the task and it's become quite difficult now because we intended to self-fund and of course once you have revenue because the restaurant's open, we're able to self-fund that. then once the restaurant got shut down, that became more of a challenge to fund but we are pressing forward because we believe in it. we think it's a good thing to do and it's a positive thing to do in these negative times. rob: it absolutely is. just to let people know, we see the pictures, we can tell there are kids going to pick up lunches. where can they go to do that?

>> 3233 east humuth avenue, the bronx, it's a chain of restaurants, there's six of them, independently owned. i own the one in the bronx, the throgs neck area. we have volunteer staff, we're there early in the morning prepping lunches and we're ready to go. rob: you have a huge heart. that's an unbelievable story. and we love stories like that. thank you so much for what you're doing. >> thank you so much for having me. thank you. rob: all right. jillian: should be more like him. rob: yairks right. jillian: a historic first on wall street, the men and women on the trading floor working from home starting today. we're live with the switch to e-trading and how the dysfunction on capitol hill is impacting the market. rob: american automakers racing to produce ventilators after getting the green light from the government. an industry insider joins us to explain the obstacles in getting

considering a national hold on evictions and foreclosures amid the pandemic. >> i would, if that was necessary, certainly, advocate that. but again, i really don't think it's going to be a big problem because everybody is in this. everybody knows what the consequences are of exacerbating the problem. rob: right now foreclosures and evictions suspended through the end of april. carson also asked for everyone to work together because we're all on the same boat. it could take up to a month to get your next amazon order. deliveries for nonessential items are pushed back to april 21st. the demand for online shopping surging since the covid-19 outbreak. health, household goods and medical supplies will be the priority. the company's ceo advised workers they'll have to wait for face masks as the company implemented a series of health measures for employees. jillian: we've been talking about this devastating shortage

of critical medical supplies and it's creating a potentially deadly problem for crowded u.s. hospitals. now, elon musk is joining ford and gm, promising to use their familiar tries for -- factories for ventilator assembly lines. is it that easy? joining me now, anthony roderick. so many people are wondering how is it possible for auto companies to create ventilators. can you explain that to us? >> sure. there's a lot inside an automobile that comes down to keeping your air safe in the car. it's not quite the same standard that you would see a medical haven'ventilator in a hospital t more and more cars these days are so complex. what they put into the software, they push that down to your car on a regular basis, i think this is something automakers can definitely do. it will take time to refit the plants for what is required. jillian: how long would it take as an example to make one

ventilator. >> making one is not going to solve the problem. we need to be able to make lots. but i think for elon musk to make one ventilator, he could probably turn that around in a few days. taking a plant and turning that into something that could produce thousands of ventilators, that's going to take months. if you go to the traditional automakers, it's going to take them longer than it will take tesla to do that. jillian: let's take a look at numbers and compare. an estimated 960,000 coronavirus patients in the u.s. could need to be put on ventilators and we have right now an estimated 170,000 ventilators currently in the u.s. you mentioned elon musk. here's a tweet he sent out. this says, quote, tesla makes cars with sophisticated h vac systems. ventilators are not difficult but cannot be produced instantly. tour point. that's why i was asking how long would it take for one, versus how long could it take to make thousands poe ten slim this is not something that people should expect overnight.

>> no, i think what gm is doing in partnering with ven tech to try to help them with certain parts of the supply chain, that's the fastest way to get more velocity. i think what the virus taught us is we need more on-shore capability for building medical supplies and the auto industry has the capability and capacity to do that in the shorter scale. we can do that in the short-term with partnerships. that's different than getting to a million ventilators which will take a matter of months. jillian: did auto industry executive know they had the capability before the pandemic started? >> i think they believed they had the capable. i don't know that that's necessarily the business they're in. they're trying to -- they're making cars. if we suddenly put another million ventilators on the market, someone has to take care and service the ventilator as

well. there's a lot to the ecosystem, more than saying we're going to take a plant somewhere and have them start producing ventilators. jillian: how does it get from auto industry experts creating the ventilators to the hospitals? >> well, there's a lot of standards. i'm more of an auto guy than i'm an fda guy. but getting the ventilators approved that the auto companies are making for use in a hospital setting, they're talking about relaxing some of those standards. that happens, then we can get those and there won't be enough techs so they're talking about taking auto mechanics and teaching them how to work with ventilators. we have a system that takes care of automatics that are more and more -- automatics that are -- automobiles that are more and more complex. over time, they could get into ventilators. jillian: thank you so much for joining us with that insight. >> sure, my pleasure. thank you. jillian: rob.

jillian: the united states now ranks in the top three tore countries with highest levels of coronavirus cases with numbers increasing almost hourly. rob: your questions and concerns have been pouring in to us. dr. nicole saphier is here with us with some of the answers you might be looking for. thanks again for coming on.

we'll start with an e-mail, has the virus mutated, gerald asks, are infected people around the world experiencing the same symptoms? >> well, viruses, specifically the coronavirus, tends to have a high mutation rate. so yes, we have already identified multiple strains, multiple strains within china itself. and as well as multiple strains throughout the globe. united states has seen different strains in washington, that's kind of how they were able to see where everything comes from and this is really great when it comes to the advancement of epidemiology. they can look at strains and say it looks like this strain came from europe versus this strain came from china. so the long answer is that, but, yes, there are mutational strains but i don't want that to -- people get very concerned when they hear about viruses mutating. it's normal. viruses mutate all the time. it's kind of what they do. jillian: an instagram user asks

this, is it okay to have outdoor group workout as long as individuals maintain their distance? >> well, that's unfortunately right now we kind of want people to really socially distance. i want you to keep exercising. i would love for you to exercise outside. we really shouldn't be getting groups together to exercise. maybe you could use the digital apps, facetime, i don't think we should get people together right now. i encourage you to continue exercising, especially outside if you can. rob: can insects carry the virus and give it to us or our pets. mosquitoes are about to start popping up again. >> that's right. as of right now, this does not seem to be a vector-borne i'll illness. this seems to have person to person transmission which is why we're telling people to socially distance right now.

jillian: another instagram user asks what advice do you have for people getting married. delays or cancellations can be very expensive. a lot of people are in that boat right now. >> i absolutely -- i mean, this is spring, a lot of people want to have spring weddings. the truth is, i think a lot of people, a lot of venues are being understanding because we're all in this together. we cannot get together. we cannot have mass gatherings right now. doesn't mean you can't get married. you can still get the marriage license, you can still form that bond but i really think we need to be delaying all gatherings at this time. it's for a start period of -- short period of time. jillian: get the marriage certificate, have the party later. rob: all right. what happens to people who tested positive after 14 days? are they cured? is the virus gone or are they still contagious? >> great question.

the answer is i don't know. some people are testing positive longer than those 14 days. the 14 day quarantine, if you are -- if you do test positive, you're not considered free of the illness until you have two negative tests, about 24 hours apart. for the most part, you're not going to be contagious anymore. for the most part you'll have recovery from your illness. it depends if you're still having symptoms, depends if you continue to have contact, if you reinfected yourself. right now there's a question, if you can actually get reinfected and the answer is we don't know. so you want to do that 14-day quarantine and if you're asymptomatic chances are that you've recovered from your infection. jillian: here's a good question, this person asks i work for a large u.s. bank. how contaminated can our currency possibly be? >> well, we know money tends to be really dirty with a lot of germs. we've already known that. there have been so many studies on that so people they count like this, they're touching

their mouth, it's kind of gross which is why contactless paying is wonderful, even with credit cards. credit cards are easier to wipe down. china, what they did, they got rid of some of their currency to try to halt the spread of the illness. we know there is viable virus on inanimate objects. we know that potentially someone who is infected, if they were to sneeze or cough on their money which is likely to happen, that there's potentially viable virus there, up to about 24 hours afterwards. so in theory if someone were to touch it and touch their mouth, they could get contaminated. the chances of that actually happening are exceedingly low. the truth is, we should be smart when handling money anyway. just assume it's dirty. if you touch money, you don't want to put your fingers in your mouth. jillian: i have clorox wipes -- rob: in poland they're sending the money to the federal reserve, disinfecting it before it comes back in the market. one more. i'm a heavy smoker, am i more
