plan the senate is having a rough time coming together to make it happen. i hope they will. jillian: "fox & friends" starts right now. see you back here tomorrow 4 to 6:00 a.m. bye-bye. ainsley: gavin, can you talk to chris, please? all right. we begin with a fox news alert. steve: all right we begin with a fox news alert. ainsley: deploying the national guard to new york and washington. the state hit the hardest by cota. brian: fema setting up mobile medical stations in all three states, man, do they need it. today the u.s. navy ship mercy sets sail to los angeles. they cannot wait. the world's largest hospital ship and provide at least 1,000 beds. tkpwo*efpgovernor newsroom quit. steve: meanwhile says it will provide much needed supports on the front lines.

>> this action will give them we are at war and in a true sense we are at war and we are fighting and invincible enemy. ainsley: more than a dozen states issuing lock down measures to keep people safe and at home. brian: yep. right now, there are more than 35,000 cases of covid-19 in the nation. at least 471 people have died and, guys, that number has increased but nothing like what we are seeing in italy and nothing like what we have seen over in china. so, the question is, with all theist states now locked down, will we start to see some positive results? ainsley: we are in separate studios this morning. steve: brian, today we are in day 8. ainsley: obviously it's going to take a few days. steve: a talk over. go ahead, ainsley. ainsley: i was just saying, yes,

there is going to be awkward talkover please bear with us as we are trying to listen to the president and social distancing ourselves keep our country safe and folks at fox safe. we have pa big lineup. who is on the show today. steve: we do, dr. nicole saphier is going to be joining us. we have dr. oz talking about clinical trials. very promising and hopeful, in fact. the surgeon general dr. jerome adams and dr. marc siegel as well. as i started to say earlier. we are now day 8 into the president's 15-days to stop the spread where the message is clear and that's what we are doing. that's why we are in locations closer to our homes. stay away from people. if we want to bend down that curve and get back to work as soon as we can stay away from people and let's try to kill this virus. ainsley. brian: yeah, still finding out more and more facts about the virus. now we are finding out maybe early on there could be

stomachage that station early on. also seeing more about the virus. we are seeing how people act. people families living with each other constantly. many not going to work. many wondering when that stimulus that is going to come, in that paycheck could be coming in when you are let go from your job, it was up to washington to help. and the fact is over the weekend, not enough progress was made and the future markets are showing it. they are ready to really plummet this morning. ainsley: yesterday. steve: they're, indeed. yesterday the president had a daily briefing and he found out that mitt romney was self-quarantining himself. that senator rand paul has tested positive. he tweeted about that and said he is in good spirits. i talked to my friends. he wants lawmakers to vote remote limit over the weekend, house, senate, white house, they were negotiating over of the

weekend to come up with a plan and that didn't happen. steve: all right. meanwhile, griff jenkins, with the latest in action on capitol hill. griff: good morning, brian, ainsley and steve, yeah. there was a meeting on the four corners of washington. on sunday looked like a deal it fell apart. bottom line as brian mentions the market will open up this morning on the heels of a failed senate deal leaving majority leader mcconnell furious. >> we are fiddle ling with the emotional of people. healthcare markets. if we are not able to act it 'l. be because of our colleagues on the other side. >> legislation has many problems. at the top of the list, it includes a large corporate bailout. or significant short falls of money that our hospitals, states, cities, medical workers

desperately needed. griff: this as covid-19 19. senator rand paul the first senator to test positive. his office issuing this statement is he feeling fine and this quarantine. is he asymptomatic and tested out of an abundance of caution due to his extensive travel and events. he was not awaeurb of any direct impact with any infected person. now, in addition have you mitt romney and mike lee self-quarantining. we expect three key votes at noon to proceed -- it reconsider. it's all about the math. five g.o.p. senators are out of play. leaving the current breakdown to 48-47. meaning 12 democrats will have to cross the aisle to pass anything and complicating it more, speaker pelosi now saying that the house will draft their own version of a rescue package. that means anything heading to the president's desk will have to be rock con soiled first, guys? brian: i will tell you, griff. thanks so much. it's going to be fascinating to see what takes place today. not going to vote.

watch the markets crash and probably pause. then we will see nancy pelosi who comes in and says oh, yeah, i have been off all weekend but i have my own plan. really? how do you think the market is going to show about this. we talked about this on our owe own show. unprecedented in america. lawmakers get it they have to talk to each other lois clean-uply. if you want them t -- either yos case you test positive. so you can't be left out of a vote. there has got to be a way to verify identification whether it's face time or skype and let these lawmakers vote. because now it's a 47-47 test vote. now you need 12 democrats to pass anything. the american people gave the republicans a 53 members in the senate. they should be allowed to you have their voice heard. and now we have a situation where it could be almost impossible maybe to pass

anything because the democrats really have a speaker of the house who wants to come in and sign her name on this or as some have said, tear it up in the fails of the american people now instead of tearing it unjust like she did the state of the union with the president. steve? steve: well, i tell you what, brian, they are going to have a revote this morning at 9:45. so essentially, mitch mcconnell is daring chuck schumer to blow it up. so that's the plan right now. in the meantime, here is the president of the united states talking about how this bill $2 trillion will help everybody. particularly the worker. >> to me it's not very complicated. we have to help the worker. we have to save the companies. as soon as we are finished with this war, it's not a battle, it's a war. as soon as we are finished with this war. our country is going to bounce back like you have never seen

before. but, we have to get it to that position and we have to make sure that those companies are whole. that they haven't been disbanded. because if you do that, it's going to take much longer. steve: one of the things that apparently the democrats don't like nut they don't like the fact of the $500 billion a lot of discretion over where that money goes to businesses is left up to the department of treasury. of course, this all comes down to if you were region the sunday papers yesterday, particularly tom freidman in the "new york times," he said how much damage are we going to wind up doing to the economy by essentially shutting down america? the president, at 10 minutes before midnight last night, tweeted this out. he said we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself. at the end of the 15-day period we will make a decision as to which way we want to go.

and so the question is, what is the president talking about, is he talking about after 15 days, which would be a week from right about now, they are going to figure out okay we need to still lock down new york, maybe washington state, other places. ainsley, and from there, we will let the rest of the country get back to work. and take whatever precautions we need to at that time. ainsley: you know as brian said at the top of the show, he said if you compare our numbers to italy and to china, what did we do to make our numbers a lot less than those countries? the president implemented that travel ban. the first case here in our country was january 21st. 10 days later the president implemented that travel ban. people were complaining about it but look, here we are two months later and it seems to have helped. our numbers are down compared to other countries that are really having major problem with this. think about how many lives were saved. i was listening to "fox & friends first" this morning congressman bill johnson was on and said we can't measure what doesn't happen. we won't be able to measure the

lives we save but we will be able to measure the graves that we did. the president is taking this seriously and i watched that briefing yesterday. i was so impressed because it doesn't matter what your party affiliation is, companies are coming out in droves to help our president, to help our country, this is about america. american lives. putting america first and dr. anthony -- brian: do you know what? ainsley: yes, brian. brian: i want to add something to that i'm not convinced these companies are helping like they could. i think in many cases they are letting theist states bid against each other and it's rocketing the price up. you heard those masks shoul shod should be 85 cents. now they're charging $7. that is anti-personal. don't tell me the government going to be slow to pay so i'm going to a private vendor. a lot of time these places are selling to other countries instead to our own state. the president has got to get directly involved. buy this stuff and hand it out to the states that need it most. it's the wild west right now. and i think these companies, ainsley have got to start

playing a little more red, white, and blue. ainsley: brian, you are absolutely right. these companies, hopefully we can get to the bottom of that maybe now is not the time. weave do have to talk about expenses because states have to buy this equipment and these masks and whatnot. but, if i have to pay $7 for a mask vs. 85 cents and it means life or death for me, i will do it. something we can put on the back burner and we can talk about later. brian: no. ainsley: you disagree. dr. anthony fauci talked about the travel restrictions and how that was a key move. watch. this early on, they did not shut out as well the input of infections that originated in china and came to different parts of the world. one of the things that we did very early and very aggressively, the president, you know, put the travel restriction coming from china to the united states and most recently from europe to the united states because europe is really the new china.

again, i don't know why this is happening there to such an extent, about it is conceivable that once you get so many of these spreads out they spread exponentially and you can never keep up with this tsunami. ainsley: all right. so that was dr. fauci talking. he is the expert when it comes to vaccines when it comes to these types of viruses, so we really turn to him. i think it says a lot that the president did implement that travel ban trying to protect all of us. and hopefully, you know, we are 8 days, you said, steve, into this 15-day trial or 15 day stay at home and you know, separate from your friends and you know, try to just be vigilant. hopefully that will be the end of it. some are saying we could see this go into june. the president says he will reassess after the end of the 15 days. steve: that's right. so that means the president of the united states is going to be deciding next sunday or next

monday where we go from here. governor cuomo does want the president to use the defense production act to get more supplies to the states. and while some may disagree that this is the right thing to do at this point in time, the president yesterday during his briefing made it very clear the private sector is stepping up big time. >> and the outpouring from the private sector has also been extraordinary and i'm pleased to report that honeywell, great company, has just announced it will immediately expand its personal protective equipment manufacturings in rhode island to produce millions of additional n-95 masks. today i'm also announcing the launch of a new public-private consortium organized by the white house. the department of energy, and ibm to unleash the power of american super computerring sources to fight the chinese vice. steve: and so the news is good

when you look at the companies that are stepping up and they are doing things, you know, who ever thought tesla would be making ventilators and g.m. or ford and look at all the companies doing the hand sanitizers as well. those are just things we use in our everyday lives. at the same time, coming up, when dr. oz joins us, he is going to be talking about how he spoke to the french doctor who did that limited study where they wound up having 36 patients and they all had covid-19. and rather than just the regular approach that they have been using around the world. he actually used that malaria drug in concert with z pack. after six days the viral level went from 100 percent in all 36 patients to zero. so, he would like some more clinical trials in the united states to start as quickly as possible. but, dr. oz just like the president of the united states, very hopeful that this could

help us over. this. brian: that will be great. and i see more and more of that antidotal information coming out about those two drugs working in concert, especially in florida i think as early as tuesday we will see this in a bigger way to get a bigger study. to lessen at least the symptoms as they come in. won't stop you from getting it but once you get it could ease the symptoms. it's important for those companies we put up on a full screen. you are going to make this stuff but you have to sell it to our country. you can't go do it to other countries. it's america first. when it comes to this. these are the companies that have to do it. number two, i think governor cuomo had a great point and governor hogan he likes what the president is doing and he likes what the white house is doing. to nationalize is not to take over. it's to consolidate. buy the mask for 95 cents and give it to the places that need it most. it's not to own, it's the government is coming in with one big check because if washington state is bidding against new

york state is bidding against maryland then their prices is going to go up. that's the way they are doing it. i wish they wouldn't but that's it. if you show up first with a check they are selling it to you. that person who shows up might be somebody from the private sector who wants to resell it for even more money. that's why governor cuomo says thanks for the beds, thanks for the skwra*fts center an justice. thanks ainsley: we need to get the drugs easily china has a lot of it. hopefully these country also help us out in our time of need. those drugs have to be taken more into together. we will talk about it with dr. oz. they looked at the map and said where are we not seeing as many cases. looking at the countries where people take malaria drugs, that's interesting, why aren't they getting itism?

they pinpointed it to this drug and the z pack and together supposed to make a remarkable difference in folks though ho have these symptoms. great news. we will dive in to that with dr. oz. brian: i don't think you take it preshrepbively. i think you take it as positive. i'm not sure if you use as it a vaccine. ainsley: earlier you take it the better but not supposed to take it until you get the symptoms but before you get on a respirator. steve: right. and dr. oz is going to be joining us in a little bit to explain exactly how it's all going to work. so we have a very, very, very busy program on this monday morning. and as if you are just joining us, we are at different locations closer to our home. just as jillian is there in the world headquarters on this very busy monday morning. jillian: that's right. good morning. i'm holding down the fort here in new york. let's begin with a fox news alert. despite coronavirus fears secretary of state mike pompeo arriving in afghanistan to help move forward a u.s. peace deal signed last month with the

taliban. since then the deal has stalled. pompeo will meet with afghan president and his political rival who also claims is he president. convicted rapist harvey weinstein has tested positive for the coronavirus in prison. the 68-year-old disgraced movie mogul was convicted last month. he was held at rao*eurbg rikers. new york city has experienced the largest outbreak at jail. at least 38 inmates at rikers testing positive. jillian: the games are scheduled to start in tokyo in july. the international olympic committee will decide whether to postpone them in the next four weeks. you have to imagine a lot of athletes can't train right now. so it could be ineffort tillable as i said we will keep you updated. steve? steve: we will, indeed. all right, jillian, thank you. meanwhile we have been showing you viral images of spring

breakers defying warnings about the spread of covid-19. some even throwing sandbar parties. now the mayor of miami-dade county taking action. he joins us live coming up next. i'm phil mickelson. that's me long before i had psoriatic arthritis. i've always been a go-getter and kinda competitive. flash forward, then psoriatic arthritis started getting the better of me. and my doctor said my joint pain could mean permanent joint damage. and enbrel helps relieve joint pain,

steve: miami-dade county down in florida shutting down all boat ramps and marinas like these of jampacked sandbars over the weekend. the mayor warning police will be cracking down on large groups after they disobeyed the county's ban on gatherings of more than 10 people. and he joins us now. mayor carlos -- mayor, good morning to you.

thank you for joining us. have you got to be disappointed in those images, right? >> i was very disappointed. look, today, i just came out of my own isolation. 14 days isolation. my parks department, my police department said that on saturday things got a little bit out of hand and then i saw a flier for a big party on a sandbar on sunday. and i said enough is enough on late saturday night. i closed down all the marinas and closed down all the boat ramps also the only party on the water are supposed to be commercial fishermen and you better have a good reasonable why you are not on the water and you are not a commercial fisherman. steve: absolutely. you know, mayor, last week at this time we were showing the images from the west coast of florida where there were a lot of spring breakers and i believe it was late yesterday that the university of tampa announced that five of their students had tested positively after spring breaking together somewhere. they didn't disclose the names of the students or where they had been. but, nonetheless, you know, you

look at the images, and you just wondering why are they doing that? are they not watching the news? are they not listening to their parents or people in authority? because it's very clear don't do that. stay away from each other. >> you know, young people think they are invincible and they think, look, even if i get it it's not going to be a big deal. what they fail to understand when they get it they can pass it on to their parents or grandparents. it is a big deal to parents and grandparents. there is more evidence now that even young people are getting hit pretty hard. there are a lot of young people in this country that today are in the hospital, maybe even on ventilators and so it can hit the young, too. but, you know, with that narrative. a lot of young people said well, i get not a big deal. they may have it don't know they have it but they become a carrier and become a threat to other people. steve: right. and we said at the beginning of

the program today, mayor, today is day 8 of the administration's 15-days to flatten the curve to stop spreading this disease all over the country. it's going to involve personal responsibility and it's going to involve some sacrifice. and, you know, i get it. you get it. what's your message to people out there right now? >> same message i have been giving tore two weeks. at the end of the day, it's up to us to stop this virus. government can do a lot but it can't do it all. as a matter of fact, at the end, it's going to be the american people that decide, yes, we are going to self-sacrifice. we are going to self-isolate. we are going to practice social distancing. we are going to take common steps approaches to and assume that everybody is positive. do you that if you assume that everybody is a positive, including yourself, that means you are going to act a different way and you are going to protect your loved ones, and then we can beat this virus. unfortunately, there are a lot of people last saturday

demonstrated that they are just not getting the message. they are going to do what they want and for them having a good time is more important than anything else. unfortunately i had to take the action i did late saturday night and said enough, nobody is going to go on the water. and we have to do that in order to protect, you know, the most vulnerable in our population. and so, really, at the end of the day, it's really about us. let's protect ourselves. act responsibly and we can beat this virus and beat it rather quickly. steve: that's what it is all about. we have got to kill this thing fast. >> right. steve: mayor, thank you for joining us from south florida. >> it's my pleasure. steve: all right. good to have you. all right. meanwhile, the video is going to give you chills. a september 11th first responder and veteran carrying an american flag through new york city to honor those fighting the virus. he joins us live with his message coming up next.

henry joins us right now to talk about what prompted this. the vietnam veteran who was there on 9/11 with the port authority. henry, what made do you this on this day. >> i thought it would be something different. get back to the folks and the country that gave us so much during 9/11. they supported us so i took it to the street out here to show them we care. at least one person will care. go out there. i feel like i'm helpive of most of the first responders that they would give back to the folks and make them smile and say thank you, thank you and be careful. we love you guys. brian: wow, that's great. henry, what you where wearing? what's the significance of what you are wearing? brian: in the video? >> yep. okay. i was wearing my command shirt that's the shirt we used to use those days. the shirt i actually wore that day when i was working at the world trade center. so i wear it once a year and i

put it away for 9/11. and that represents the staff, the people, the police department, first responders. brian: so what was the response as you walked yesterday or at any time do you? i see you waving to people. what were they doing to you? >> they were waving, beeping their horns, car horns and they were really happy made me happy. if i can make them happy for a couple seconds i have done my job over here and let them know this is not the end. this will come to pass. bide your time. we'll be there for you. we will always be there for you. the country is there for you. the flag is always there we'll be there for you. we'll never abandon you guys. brian: henry, it's interesting, have you given a lot. vietnam, you served. serving the port authority. there on 9/11. contribute every year on 9/11

for those who served and lost their lives and still giving back. what drives that patriotism? >> it's being over there the country gave me so much. they looked after me. as a matter of fact, when i was in nam is it hardened me. 9/11 mellowed me out and softened me up a lot. i see people in a different light. i like to give back to them because they give us so much. they give to each other. the country, i didn't recognize it for the past few months but now it's a great place again. and the people care. now, really do. and if i could help the children, i'm going to do it. and i will be making more of these walks. brian: you will. it's interesting. and i have to lee on this. but you said i didn't like the country over the last few months but i like it in the middle of a pandemic. describe the difference. >> well, so much bickering going on with one side to the other side.

and then forgetting everyone out there. so, and comes the president, he took the bull by the horns, he said enough. and he straightened everything out. i will follow that guy to any battlefield any time. he is a good leader. sea good commander-in-chief. he knows what the heck he is doing. that's what we needed. we needed a force. and he is great. there is a little bit of washington in him. there is a little bit of jackson and a little bit of abe lincoln in him. all combined makes one hell of a president. brian: have you got it henry la llave. 60% approve. ax poll says 55%. that's up significantly in a week. henry has been there all along. thanks for what you have given to the country and what you continue to do. we will continue to follow you as long as we don't bother you. thanks a lot, henry, stay safe. >> thank you so much for everything. i appreciate it. have a good night.

data together and they are showing some up to about 30% of people are presenting with this loss of sense of taste. loss of sense of smell. saying when they're cooking dinner they are not able to smell what they're cooking. this one woman reported that she wasn't able to smell her child's full diaper. and, you know, again, this is all antidotal, right now even out of britain they are saying that you know what? if you are experiencing this, self-isolate. because that is seeming to be a good presenting sign for someone who is going to have potentially mild illness or just being asymptomatic carrier. we don't know for certain. if you are experiencing, this consider self-isolating at this point. because at this point all we want to do is mitigate spread. so even if it's just antidotal evidence this may be an early sign. maybe we should take heed and kind of stay put. ainsley: dr. saphier, we want you to answer. so questions we have gotten from our viewers. this is an email from bob and he brings up something we are all concerned about. what precaution should we take handling fresh fruits and

vegetables from the grocery store and elsewhere? >> we should be doing the same thing that we are always doing. we know there can be pesticides as well as other dirt and soil on our fresh fruits and vegetables. so you should wash it. use your hands to scrub it a little bit. we have remember just because we are dealing with covid-19 right now. doesn't mean, a lot of behaviors that we are saying we should do we should have been doing in the past. i just encourage to you continue doing what we have been talking about doing all this time. brian: i will take this one. this is one from sheila. i used to say this message is from brian. i i'm on immunosuppressant drugs. will these drugs make me more susceptible? what do you think do you think, mr. sapphire. >> a lot of immunosuppressant there is a variety of them hard to know what your level would be. you should definitely be talking to the physician who prescribes that for you possibly

rheumatologist or hematology just. they will give you a better idea how immunosuppressed you are. bottom line if you are taking a medication that is meant to suppress your immune system, then you may be rendering yourself a bit more vulnerable to this illness. we have to remember we don't want to stop treating our known illness just because of our fear for the coronavirus. because if we let our chronic disease go rampant by not undergoing the treatment, then when we have gone past the whole covid-19 scare. then you may find yourself in a worse situation. so continue to communicate with your physicians. don't stop taking prescribed medication because of fear for coronavirus. steve: all right, doctor. here san email from cory. he says county virus be acquired by handling mail getting packages by ebay, amazon, boxes or letters as well. one of the things that is open is the post office. and they are delivering stuff as we are also getting grocery deliveries and stuff like that. doctor, what do you think?

>> i mean, cory, this is a great question because a lot of people keep asking it. and the answer is we don't really know there have been tests that show that there is viable virus on inanimate objects such as cardboard boxes, such as plastics. we know it can live there a short amount of time. the truth is the most likely way of contracting this illness is someone who is tom is asymptomr coughing or sneezing. is there a way to get it from inanimate objects, yes. wash your hands. i assume you are not going to be licking your hands or boxes. you may want to consider opening it out. >> when you come inside, wash your hands. smart measures. ainsley: dr. saphier, this is an email from charles. is ultra violent light a preventative action to kill bacteria and viruses on household surfaces? >> uv light from the sun.

that is a way we sterilize things within the hospitals. it does show coronavirus is susceptible to uv light. it will kill some of the virus. that's why we are really looking forward to the summer months. having the sun out a bit more. the hard part is if you are trying to do this on your own and it's not, you know, an a proven device for uv light then it's hard to say if you are really effectively sterilizing the area. but bottom line is, short answer, yes. uv light can kill bacteria and viruses. brian: we will see if this will be a week to start getting some answers. maybe get a therapy that can be effective in muting some of these virus symptoms and dr. saphier, i know you will be bringing us through this thing the entire way. we are four in the epicenter of this virus. new york, number one in a lot of things, we don't want to be number one in this but we are. we are ground zero right now for what's happening around the country. dr. saphier, thanks so much. stay safe.

ainsley: what do you mean have an exit strategy. >> be your own flight attendance. know what you are going to do when the kids are done painting. sometimes herding cats. paint covered cats. so know exactly what you are going to do when they're done to get them clean and the project cleaned up. ainsley: okay, i lo this tip, put a wet washcloth next to your children while they are painting and teach them how to do it. >> give an example what they might do. >> definitely. have a wet washcloth with your child and teach them to wipe their hands up, to wipe the floor to wipe their face to keep things tiedy. if they are in control and have a way contain themselves, kids can help out a lot with this. ainsley: get back to first topic today. it's a monday. art activities today. you say paint in the bathtub. we saw pictures of your kids. tell us how to do that properly. >> just take some paper and hang it up on the wall of your bathtub. make sure can you cover as far as the kids can reach and as high as they can reach. let them stand in there and paint. a great way to keep the messes

contained because you just turned on on the water and rinse when everything is done. ainsley: that is such a good idea. i always worry about my carpeted. >> so fun. ainsley: that is great. i will do that today. post pictures. everyone out there post pictures and tag you in it. >> thank you. ainsley: what should do you #busy toddler? >> yep. ainsley: what about painting toys? >> let the kids redecorate their toy? who doesn't love a makeover. redecorate. the best part of this one is when the kids are done painting, toss the kids and the toys in the bath, turn it on and two for one activity happening. ainsley: you say do window art and paint ice. tell me about. this i love painting ice. take all the ice cubes from ice cube maker. dump them in the tub. the paint freezes when it hits the ice. coolest half art, half science

activity. steve: busy toddler.com. and if you want to post pictures, do #busy toddler. thank you so much. >> thank you. ainsley: researchers finding a drug combination that could shorten how long the virus lasts. it's great news. dr. oz spoke with those researchers he is going to join us with an exclusive update coming up next. dr. deborah birx: we know that we're asking americans to do a lot right now. so we're asking everyone to be selfless for others so that we can protect those who are most susceptible to this virus. dr. jerome adams: a question i often get asked is, "why should young people care about the spread of coronavirus?" well we know that people with underlying medical conditions over the age of 60 are at highest risk, but they've got to get it from somebody. dr. anthony fauci: social distancing is really physical separation of people. dr. deborah birx: it's what we refer to when we ask people to stay at least six feet apart.

dr. anthony fauci: not going to bars, not going to restaurants, not going to theaters where there are a lot of people... it all just means physical separation so you have a space between you and others who might actually be infected or infect you. dr. jerome adams: we all have a role to play in preventing person-to-person spread of this disease which can be deadly for vulnerable groups. for more information on how you can social distance please go to coronavirus.gov

brian: are all right. we begin with a fox news alert. hence the sound. president trump deploying the national guard to new york, to california and to washington. those are the states hit the hardest by covid-19. ainsley: fema setting up mobile medical stations in all three states. today the u.s. naval ship mercy is going to set sail for los angeles. it is the largest hospital ship and provide one thousand beds. president trump says his action will help provide much needed support on the front lines. >> this action will give them maximum flexibility to use the guard against the virus without having to worry about cost or liability. we are at war in a true sense we are at war and we are fighting an invisible enemy. steve: i have got it back. brian: more than a dozen states issuing some type of measure of stay at home and stay safe, ainsley.

ainsley: that's right. brian. right now there are more than 35,000 cases of covid-19 in our country. at least 471 people have died. steve: and welcome to this unique edition of "fox & friends." we are now on day 8 into the president's 15 days to stop the spread. just as the president and the administration and all of our health authorities are saying stay apart. that is what we are doing. we are at different locations closer to our home because right now 5% of the world's cases are centered in new york. brian? brian: yeah, and steve so far and ainsley, the president started out with this and of course no one has experienced a pandemic before. but it started out a lot of people thought a little bit slow. no one really knew it was going to be as bad as it is right now it. seems as though the one thing that's going up pretty consistently despite the media questions we get every day, as

the president spoke for 90 minutes in a press conference. harris poll said 60% of the country approve of the president's handling of this virus. abc poll at 55%. so some are skeptical and want to be critical. the american people are sitting back watching being asked to sacrifice a lot. and even though the president got elected with under 50% of the vote and mostly been under 50% his entire three years they like what he is doing so far. but, of course, everything can be better. meanwhile senate lawmakers coming to blows. almost coming to blows as democrats are efforting to block more than 1 trillion-dollar relief package. they don't like some elements of it. and then in comes nancy pelosi with her own program after taking off all weekend. griff general since coins us live on the inaction of a program we all need and the stocks are tanking because of it around the globe. griff, give us the latest. griff: that's right, brian, ainsley and stao*efplt good morning. on saturday it seemed close it.

unraveled despite multiple meetings between secretary mnuchin and. markets will open on the heels of a failed senate deal with no vote in site. it's left mcconnell furious and minority leader schumer holding out. >> we are fiddling here. fiddling with the motions of the american people, if fiddling wh the markets. fiddling with our healthcare. if we are not able to act tomorrow it will be because of our colleagues on the other side. >> legislation has many problems. at the top of the list, it includes a large corporate bailout. significant short falls of money that our hospitals state city workers desperately needed. griff: s this as senator rand paul becomes the first senator to test positive for covid-19. he says he feels fine and in quarantine. add to it mike lee and mitt romney quarantining out of

caution. out of play leaving the current breakdown to 48-47. 12 democrats will have to cross the aisle if they are to pass anything. president trump urging lawmakers to act. >> to me it's not very complicated. we have to help the worker. we have to save the companies. as soon as we are finished with this war our country is going to bounce back like you have never seen before. >> expect three key secrets at noon to proceed to reconsider the bill. complicating things as you mentioned speaker pelosi now saying if th that the house wilt their own version of a rescue package. anything the senate will get through not clear if anything would get through today would have to be reconciled with the house as well. as you mentioned with the toss, brian, inaction isn't a word that is going to leave the markets happy. guys? steve: all right. griff, thank you very much. let's bring in dr. mehmet oz the host of the dr. oz show obviously. he brings us from his remote

location as well. dr. oz, we heard from the president at the end of last week and he was talking about these hopeful results, trial results of how a french doctor charted about 3 dozen different patients. they all had coronavirus. and rather than the standard course, as has been going, as we look at this graph, look at the red line, at day one, day zero, essentially. everybody had 100 percent of the virus. and then by day 6, everybody in the study had zero virus. tell us about this possible drug combination and how hopeful you are about it. >> well, i read the study. i was stunned. literally a draw drop. i didn't know it was possible. i started immediately trying to get in touch with this physician. is he a very well respected french doctor. i finally got him to talk to me believe it or not because his wife watches the show. he started to explain to me why he had done this study and what

it had showed. did i an interview yesterday and i will air it on my show. i was flabber tkpwa*sd took concepts had been working with and constructed this out. in his mind, this data is so powerful that he does not believe a randomized trial is worth it. and in france, some cities are moving forward without clinical trials. however, as a physician and in america we feel strongly about randomized trials. i spent the weekend working with the team at columbia. replicate what he did but a true randomized trial where neither side know what is they got. test with these two drugs a malaria drug plus z pack virus last in your body more than five days shown in the study. and reduce the amount of virus the whole time. this doctor told me something else that was very important that he hasn't published yet. he said that the clinical outcomes were trending toward improvement. he is a very precise man. he is not want to release data until he had more.

so in 10 days we will get that information as well. this is a game changer. because if you can take a combination of two already existing pills. repurpose them to use for the american public to shorten the amount of time you are inpuck infectious. this becomes more like the flu than coronavirus. columbia brave folks finding the trial. we have staffs that man powering it. wonderful physicians got approval for one study on friday. i think together with other academic centers. i spoke with the cleveland clinic yesterday. major centers are going to be doing. this american academia. one big challenge, everybody, the u.s. government has to procure enough of these bills. my biggest challenge was getting pills. we finally got a couple enough to do a trial on a couple hundred people. america is want to want pills. starting today a lot of americans no, matter what anyone says, are going to start taking these pills if they tested positive. i don't want people hoarding. please do not take these pills and put them in medicine cabinet

and sister them just in case. desperately ill people need them. if we're going to start using it and let's mak not make this snol grow. brian: for those that didn't go to medical school or have a friend in columbia. you are a doctor and you see this and you see success, dr. fauci sees this and says i need more study. if the drug is out and there not hurting people now, dolls that eliminate the downside that usually comes with taking experimental drugs? why do so many doctors like you feel optimistic and dr. fauci goes out of his way to put -- to tamp down any expectations? what's going on here? >> dr. fauci is a very-well respected clinician. is he a friend of mine. i like him. i have think he is doing a great job. i want i emphasize we want datas

that randomized. in france they gave it to people hospitalled it ant didn't give it to people who didn't want it. the data is so strong i completely understand why america wants to start taking these pills. i think that's actually and dr. in france agreed it makes sense. it's going to happen anyway. we need more data. let's do both. you don't have to be right or wrong. start the clinical trials. get the data back over the next week or two, three, whatever it takes. but meanwhile people can start treating. if a data comes back as positive as they found in france. then we are fine. just keep going. if the data turns out to be the opposite it, doesn't work. why expose people to these pills. do you need a eupgs prosecute. these pills can have complications. think have been used for many years. we believe they're generally safe. you have to check. it could be something that could hurt you if you don't avoid taking these pills with those complications. ainsley: i was talking with physicians recently they said like within the new york area you can't even gte those pills. who is making those pills? will we have enough? and how powerful are these

pills? what are the side effects? >> well, i'm going to post the protocol that was used in france on my website and all my social media. so people can see what they actually did. he kindly shared them with me. the main side effects is that it can cause irregular heart beats that can be dangerous. there are some eye problems that can sometimes happen. usually associated the latter problem with longer term use. we are talking about 10 days of taking the pills when you are not feeling well. i would not take it preventatively yet. those trials are also being started at column i can't understand a elsewhere. these trials will make sense whether it helps with doctors and nurses. we don't have enough of these pills. i spoke to the task force every level of government to assure people appreciate the challenge. we just don't have pills. i did a rough calculation. i think we have pills for between 5 and 10 million people right now. i know the task force is going to release information about procuring extra pills. i know all the companies are gearing up as quickly as they can. this is like a war time

mobilization. laser-focused on making these pills. while academic medicine prao*frs for everyone's satisfaction that we truly have something that works. we need to make enough of the pills so people can get served if we do prove it works. critically ill people can start getting the pills as long as the average american patriotly doesn't hoard the pills. like we're saying don't hoard mavericks, don't hoard these pills. steve: dr. oz, real quickly, is the federal government working fast enough? your mind on all fronts? >> >> i think the federal government is working fast enough now, i don't think that was the case early on. there will be plenty of opportunity to glance in the review mirror but for now we don't want to stare in the rear view mirror. look forward, get done what we need to get done. problems with test kits the federal government deserves a lot of the blame for. problems and miscues all along the way. right now a promising

opportunity and one big opportunity for the federal government to get this right. get us the pills. that's the message, mr. president. macy the message mr. president for the task force, get us these pills. brian: collect all medical equipment let fema buy it and send it out. this whole thing about gouges is out of control doctor oz you gave a lot of people hope today, thanks so much. >> thanks, guys. brian: jillian has other news. jillian: secretary of state mike pompeo arrives in afghanistan overnight to help move forward a u.s. peace deal signed last month with the taliban. since then the deal has called. pompeo will meet with afghan president ghani and his political rival who also claims he is president. also breaking right nau the secret service reports its first employee testing positive for covid-19. they are now under quarantine. they have not come in contact with other agents or anyone under protection for almost three weeks.

the employee is not being identified. both president trump and vice president pence have tested negative for coronavirus. housing and urban development secretary dr. ben carson is 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. jillian: right now foreclosures and evictions are suspended through the end of april. well tributes have been pouring in from around the world for the gambler kenny rogers. ♪ you got to know when to hold them ♪ know when to fold them ♪ know when to walk away jillian: former president george w. bush posting this photo on instagram writing he and his

♪ >> >> legislation has many problems. at the top of the list, it includes a large corporate bail shutout we had a high level of bipartisan and then all of a sudden the democratic leader and the speaker of the house shows up and we're back to square one. brian: here we go. party leaders sparring on the senate floor after a key procedural vote to advance the trillion-dollar plus dollar stem also a package fails leaving uncertain future for the bill. we think we will get something but the markets aren't convinced they are plummeting at this hour the futures that is. delaware senator chris coons maybe people count on people like senator coons to be

bipartisan and take the lead on this. senator, what happened? >> well, brian, there are a number of big pieces of this bill that have come together well where there has been a good bipartisan cooperation. the small business grants and loans, for example is something where i think senators rubio and collins, cardin and shaheen worked very well together. i'm the ranking democrat on funding the sba, senator kennedy, the lead republican. we really worked well over the weekend to get that package done. >> i would be happy to talk about it. but at the highest level the clip you just played summarizes the whole thing. the majority leader says well all of a sudden the speaker and the minority leader showed up. they didn't just show up. they are part of the leadership. it was urged upon majority leader mcconnell to sit down at the outset with mccarthy and pelosi, schumer and mcconnell and negotiate. instead, majority leader mcconnell followed a process where there were working groups and then by midday saturday,

republicans were off drafting their own bill that we didn't get to see until the next morning. the average american is yelling at their television. they don't want to know that we are bickering. i am working as hard as i can to close these divisions to get this done. brian: right. >> i know our leadership is as well. we will get this done. brian: just so you know there is a theory there. senator mcconnell says we can deal with leadership but everyone else says where were you? i don't agree with this. they want to get two dozen, people lawmakers both sides in this thing together so there would be buy-in all around. >> that's right. brian: there wouldn't be a massive aggression of leadership. you saying leadership and them saying i want more people involved. give everyone a sense of what the relief package is $1,000 in direct tax rebates. let's put up the full screen, expansion of unemployment insurance. the payroll tax holiday, federally guaranteed loans for small businesses. emergency coronavirus response

preparedness. this is just some of the stories things. you are talking about the main issue being $500 billion for corporations like the airlines who need 50 billion to keep it going. you want to put provisions in there so do republicans to make sure they retain their workers. >> that's right. brian: and don't just buy back stock. where is the problem on there? i thought you agreed on that. >> we do agree on that core principle. the lack of transparency and accountability how that 500 billion-dollar fund will be spent and vast discretion being given to the secretary was a key sticking point. brian, you know, i spent 10 years in county government. lots of the folks who are getting up this morning and going to work paramedics and medics, orderlies, doctors, nurses work in public hospitals. they work in public health systems. we need to provide direct support to state and county governments that are being really hard-hit. when the president moved forward, the tax due date for the federal taxes which was a good move that i support, that

also means lots of states and counties have their tax filing date moved forward two months and the lack of sales tax means a lot of local governments are really hurting. that's probably our second biggest point of disagreement right now. brian: right. you want more money to the states direct money to the states for that reason. >> and counties. brian: want more money to hospitals for that reason. >> correct, correct. brian: i think you are in agreement on way to reach the self-employed. on the way to reach how much money to give and how quickly to give it. and the beauty of 2020 as opposed to 2008, we have direct deposit for many people who get their refunds, so that's a way to get the money quick and the other thing you have is the irs is going to be an ally, how? >> we are providing financial support to the irs to get this out as quickly as possible. and to make sure that their it systems are up to handling this. this is going to be the single largest stimulus package in american history. so while i understand there is some concern and frustration

that as of right now 7:20 in the morning on monday we don't have it all done. i think we will get this done. if you look back to last week, brian, 104 billion-dollar package came together from concept to drafting to passage to signing by president trump in record time. this is a huge bill. if we didn't have some accountability and transparency on that 500 billion. i would expect the people of delaware to be mad at me. we should make the progress today, to get this out and i hope the markets get that sense of confidence from those of us working hard here. brian: here's what i love that everybody is doing. you are saying hey, companies, small business. here is your money. but it's a loan. if you fire -- if you keep your people employed, it's a grant. >> that's correct. brian: if you fire your people and put them on unemployment, it a loan you are paying it back. we agree on that some accountability. what i don't agree is speaker pelosi saying they the house

going to write their own bill. if you know if the house writes their own bill it's going to take to friday and over the weekend. can you please talk tom sense into her? >> one of our other challenges, frankly, is we have got two members of the house and one member of the senate, my colleague rand paul who tested positive. there is an awful lot of members who don't want to be here for a week negotiating and negotiating all night. there is a sense of urgency. not just because of our country desperately needs these funds out because we are not sure we are going to come back here soon after we go into recess. we need to get this right. we need to work off of the architecture that's already being negotiated. and i agree that we need to get this done in a way that we can stand up and defend in months or years from now but we also need to act promptly. brian: yeah. senator, thanks so much. appreciate your scrambling for us this morning. >> happy, to thanks, brian. brian: you got it. coming up straight ahead as hand sanitizer flies off the shelves

next guest navy veteran using distillery to crank out bottles of hand sanitizer free of charge. here with his new mission coming up next.

my psoriatic arthritis pain? i had enough! it's not getting in my way. joint pain, swelling, tenderness... ...much better. my psoriasis, clearer... cosentyx works on all of this. four years and counting. so watch out. i got this! watch me. real people with active psoriatic arthritis

are feeling real relief with cosentyx. cosentyx is a different kind of targeted biologic. it treats the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis to help you look and feel better. it even helps stop further joint damage. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability... ...to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen... ...or if you've had a vaccine, or plan to. serious allergic reactions may occur. i just look and feel better. i got real relief with cosentyx. watch me! feel real relief. ask your rheumatologist about cosentyx.

hand sanitizers are flying off the store shelves prompting next guest a navy veteran to step up in a big way. he is in texas to create hand sanitizer donated to first responders, retirement centers and others in need during this crisis. joining us now is desert door distill rather thank you for serving our country. >> thanks, ainsley nice to be here. ainsley: i think it's wonderful you are providing this for those in need but even better you are don't nation all of this. tell us why you are doing all of that. >> sure, be happy to. so, to make hand sanitizer you have to have special equipment. namely destill labor relation equipmendecile labor relationwe. normally requires a special permit. we make distilled beverages it's

a special permit process. it takes time. we started planning around it. and then last week thankfully the federal government lifted those restrictions and now allows all destillers to make hand sanitizers. as of last wednesday we stopped making booze and strictly making hand sanitizer and giving it away to those who need it. ainsley: tell us more about you are giving it away to. >> sure. we started by contacting those who we need knew needed it first responders in austin. before long phone calls from really across the state. at this point we have given thousands of bottles away to austin police departments, antonio police department. the hospice care group. sheriff departments in several counties. also houston police department. we ran out of bottles so now we are giving it in bulk by the

gallon to the city of austin and we're going to keep making more until the demand curve flattens a little bit, until some of the dig producers can get back on step and start getting hand sanitizer out in mass. ainsley: austin police chief brian manley said a huge shoutout and thank you to desert door distilly to donating hand sanitizer to the austin police department. great community partner. how do you get those bottles? do you cover the cost or does the government give you those bottles you are filling up? >> we are covering the cost right now. that was the fastest way to get it done. a lot of restaurants and bars that represents about a third of our business. they are shut down right now. and our tasting room which employs a lot of folks is also shut down a great way to stay biz i can't understand give us a good purpose and it's really to help the team come together. you know, we are doing our part in the community and, you know,

we feel like a lot of other folks are. we are following the lead of organizations and individuals across the country who normally don't see themselves as leaders, necessarily but have stepped up and shown courage and doing what they can. and this is our small way to do what we can. ainsley: i know the through of you ryan and brent and yourself, you saul served our great country. now you are serving in a different capacity congratulations on everything have you done. we thank you so much. why do you serve? when our country right now is hurting why do you want to do. this right now we view this as our civic duty. there is only a small number of organizations in the united states that have the equipment required to make hand sanitizer. we are one of those organizations. we viewed it as an obligation to serve the community. and we see the first responders out there, many of them coming to our distillery hand

sanitizer. they are very afraid. they risk their health and in some cases their lives to do what's right. that's what always made this country a great place to be is when times are tough. people come together and step up. and we are a sparta part of that culture. ainsley: think about what you are doing when i go to the grocery store to get the hand sanitizer i panic a little bit. i'm trying to protect myself and family. what you are doing is ease ago lot of people's burdens and making our first responders safer so they can come and help us when we need them and you are probably saving lives. so god bless you. god bless all three of you. thanks for doing. this yeah. thanks, ainsley. ainsley: you are welcome. >> i would ask those watching to reach out to local or regional distillers and engeorge them to join the cause. it's really easy to make hand sanitizer. you need a few raw stkpwraoepbts go to desert door's inis a gram

there though so that's the good news. president trump tweeting we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself at the end of the 15-day period we will make a decision as to which way we want to go. steve: fox news contributor newt gingrich is the author of the brand new book it's called shakedown. it goes on sale tomorrow. and he joins us from rome which knows plenty about the covid-19. mr. speaker, good morning to you. what do you make of the president saying we can't let the cure be worse than the problem itself. the end of the 15-day period we will make a decision as to which way we want to go. it sounds as if he is weighing the economic troubles that the country is going through right now with are we overdoing it? what do you think about that? >> well, i think first of all, this has been a mobilization period. the last guest you had are a good example. all sorts of people now coming in to make hand sanitizer where

it was running out. so we will have more hand sanitizer. the announcement by 3 m the way they are ramping up their production. you will see effort to have enough material and resources to handle this pandemic. i can tell you sitting in rome where as you kno know calista ie ambassador of the vatican. they have closed down radically, more places than any place except china. they are desperate to stop this before it kills a lot more people. i think the president did the right thing early on, in cutting off travel. he has done the right thing in listening to dr. fauci and others for this first phase. but as we get more material, we need to modify towards a much more selective approach. i mean, if you live in a county, for example, that has nobody with a virus. it doesn't make a whole lot of

sense to close everybody down for that county. if you have a truck-based society and you want to make sure there is food in the grocery store, have you got to find a way to get truckers to travel safely there will be a lot of steps, i think, the next phase will be how do we both meet key public health standards and begin to reopen and rebuild the economy and i think the president's sense of timing is exactly right. like i tweeted this morning. how really grateful i was to see him start moving towards this next phase which will take some real planning and some real thought. brian: newt, i want to that you can about the relief package, no one knows better how to make legislation. real quick on italy, they are asking for the u.s. military to help the italian people the country is flat on its back. you are in italy. do you think the u.s. military should put in to action to help the american people. >> first of all, calista helped

grand blanc lynn graham's samaritan purse which flew in an entire hospital in northern italy. it's full. it opened up saturday. every bed is now full. this is a very real crisis for italians. we have a field hospital sitting in germany that's fully capable of operating. i think they probably ought to fly it in. and i think we should some cruise lines. we have a lot of cruise liners are going to be available for virtually no cost rapidly converted one thing to deal with the non-virus patients to get them out of the hospitals to open up the beds in the hospitals for the virus stations but clearly, you are in a weird moment where the cubans are in italy, the russian russ in italy. the chinese are in italy. they have been our allies now for some -- almost 70 years. clearly we have to find ways to help them and as we ramp up our production, we will become sort of the medicine chest of the world just as we were in world war ii. the arsenal of democracy.

so, our production capacity is enormous as it starts to roll. i really appreciate the way the president has reached out to the private sector. part of that has to go not just to italy but to spain, to a variety of countries around the world that otherwise are going to suffer huge losses because their medical systems get overwhelmed. ainsley: newt, it was frustrating over the weekend when you are watching the senate and the house and the white house try to negotiate this deal. all weekend long. our people need help, they need relief, you have workers that are worried about losing their jobs. you have some that are furloughed. you have restaurant owners that have to pay their staff and keep their doors open for deliveries. yet they don't have the money to pay for overhead. some reason our lawmakers in washington can't get together on a bipartisan deal. nancy pelosi says the house wants their own deal and then mitch mcconnell said everything was fine. bipartisan, we were in agreement until nancy pelosi came back. listen to this. >> madam speaker you said you

are so far apart. should people be concerned this won't pass until monday _ hopefully it will be compatible with what they discuss in the senate. >> we had a high level of bipartisan in five different working groups. and then all of a sudden the democratic leader and the speaker of the house shows up. and i want everybody to fully understand if we aren't able to act tomorrow, it will be because of our colleagues on the other side. ainsley: newt, what's your response? >> well, this is classic. in 1990, the democrats blackmailed president george h.w. bush into breaking his word on taxes. where they said they wouldn't agree to paupblg a budget agree. in 2007 or 2008 when she was first speaker she passed

terrible legislation which president george w. bush felt he had to sign. things which crippled the economy. they considered that during obama and by 2010 we won the house with john boehner and the slogan where are the jobs? so what hav you have now is a pr str*ulg where schumer and pelosi believe they can blackmail the president into accepting really dumb ideas there. are some things you negotiate. there are some things you work out. but i personally do not want to see a trump-mcconnell-mccarthy team that are blackmailed by pelosi and schumer and give in. i think the american people need to understand we can get something done immediately this week. the house has to come back to do it. but they ought to put a lot of pressure on pelosi and schumer to put america ahead of partisanship and to try to help solve an american crisis, not just pay off their allies and their interest groups. i think this is -- i'm not at all surprised. i thought mcconnell did a great

job. he had these five working groups, individual senators in the democratic party are very reasonable when you get them in those kind of working groups. but their leaders understand this is their moment to blackmail the president and if they can get away with it, they will. steve: it does sound as if there is going to have a re-vote at 9:45 shortly after the markets open. we will see what happens. in the meantime talk to kevin mccarthy from congress in 15 minutes. newt, thank you very much. he has a brand new book out tomorrow it's called "shakedown" thank you. sir. meanwhile on day 8 of the president's 15-day plan to slow covid-19. so how are the guidelines working? we are going to get an update from the u.s. surgeon, he is next. ♪ limu emu & doug [ siren ]

>> steve: today marks the 8th day of the government's 15-day period to slow the spread of the coronavirus. so where do we stand and when will we start to see results? here with an update is a u.s. surgeon of the united states of america dr. jerome adams doctor adams, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: there are a lot of people

hunkered down for a week now. good to have you. they are wondering, i haven't heard anything from the government yet. is this working? what do we know so far? >> well, we know that the initiatives that are in the president's 15 days to stop the will plan. 15 days avoid people. proven public health measures and every person who does this is one less person without ho is out threw spreading the virus. it is working. the problem is we really need more people to take this seriously. i look around the country and still see pictures of people on beaches. still see people out looking at the cherry blossoms and being too close to each other. i got a call from a friend in texas who said that they're still making nonessential workers come in and not telework. the thing to understand is what you are seeing in terms of numbers reflect what happened two weeks ago. and the infection that spread two weeks ago. the places that aren't seeing spread right now need to ask

themselves do i want to become the next italy, i do want to be where new york is right now. if you don't, we need more people to take this seriously. people stay at home. steve: there you go. that's absolutely right. the governor of new york where, you know, where we are based wants the president to use the defense production act to get more supplies. because, he noted yesterday that an 85-cent mask to help protect healthcare worker is costing 7 bucks because his state has to compete with all the other states. are you confident that companies are doing enough right now to produce things like the mavericks and ventilators and whatnot. >> in i want people to know my friends, my colleagues are the one us out there on the front lines. i will not rest until they get the supplies they need. we are doing several things. we are sending out the national triage stockpile supplies. we sent over two million masks

to california, to new york, to washington, to the places hardest hit. we are working with companies like honeywell and 3 m they have voluntarily gone to max production. you don't need to compel someone to do something they are already doing. companies like hanes are coming forward and companies you would never think of making masks and creating. american society of anesthesiologists making 7,000 ventilators in operating rooms a available. we are not going to treat and supply our way out of this problem. we need to lower demand. we need people to get serious about this next week. we need everyone to stay at home because it's both making sure supplies get to where they need to and fema is working on that. but making sure we are lowering demand so we don't need so many supplies and we don't overwhelm ourselves in terms of flattening the curve. steve: there you go. doctor, we had dr. oz on at the top of this hour and what he

talked about was how promising he thinks tha think malaria drud in contact with one of the french doctors who treated 36 people and viral level went from 100 down to zero after five or six days. he said his biggest problem right now and he is starting his own clinical trials at columbia and he mentioned the cleveland clinic is going to do the same thing. he wonders, you know, and worries about the fact that we don't have enough pills yet in this country if that works. >> here is the thing about those drugs, there is may and actually does. these may be promising. so we are trying to make them as available as possible to people across the country. we need to verify through studies that they actually work. but i also, again, want to go back to the fact that it's not practical to think we are going to treat our way out of this

problem with new drugs or with ventilators or with supplies. we need to lower demand. we need more people talking about staying at home. that's why i reached out to coulkylie jenner last week. my kids said reach out to lauryn gray and roman atwood and help these millennials understand they are spreading vice and the more they spread the more we are going to need these drugs. the more we are going to need ventilators and masks. steve: so it sounds like your message today, mr. surgeon general we are one week in to the two week experiment and people need to stay at home that message loud and clear. >> that's absolutely clear but you still can go out to give blood. we want folks to understand if you are healthy, make an appointment. go out and give blood. steve: all right. thank you. to schedule an appointment to give. now, with the corona virus outbreak, it is important to maintain a sufficient blood supply. ...

president trump: this action will give them flexibility to use the guard against the virus without having to worry about cost or liability. we're at war and we're fighting and invisible enemy. brian: there you go. they are thanking doctors and nurses more than a dozen states issuing some type of measure to keep people, to keep people as we move ahead, safe and at home. a farmer's market in oakland, california warning people to stay six feet apart from each other if they need to go out for essentials. ainsley: right now there are more than 35,000 cases of covid-19 in our country, at least 471 people have died. steve: that's right and welcome to our three of fox & friends, a unique situation, because right now, 5% of the world's cases are

in the new york city area, brian , ainsley and i are all at locations closer to our homes this morning. ainsley? ainsley: that's right, steve. let's talk about what's happening in d.c. our congress, white house, they were trying to negotiate over the weekend senate lawmakers coming to blows after democrats block a more than $1 trillion relief package. griff jenkins joins us live with the latest action on capitol hill. they fell short of the 60 votes right? and five republicans have self- quarantined they weren't there to vote right? griff: that's right, ainsley, brian, steve, good morning americans won't be happy this morning because despite the 11th hour meetings lasting until midnight last night there's still no deal in sight and in just 90 minutes the markets could go into another tailspin on the heels of the senate failing to advance yesterday. majority leader mcconnell is furious and minority leader schumer is holding out. >> we're fiddling here with the emotions of the american

people, fiddling with the markets, fiddling with our healthcare. if we aren't able to act tomorrow, it'll be because of our colleagues on the other side >> legislation has many problems. at the top of the list, it includes a large corporate bail out, where significant short falls of money that our hospitals, states, cities and medical workers desperately needed. griff: so where is the jam that apparently revolves around a 500 billion-dollar piece called the exchange stabilization fund for hard hit industries and while there's much agreement on the bill its transparencies and discretion left in the hands of treasury secretary mnuchin complicating things speaker pelosi now says the house will draft their own version of a rescue package meaning anything passed will have to be reconciled before it goes to the president's desk this as senator rand paul becomes the first senator to test positive for covid-19. he says he's feeling fine, asymptomatic and in quarantine

but add to it as you mentioned ainsley, mitt romney and mike lee now also self-quarantining out of precaution that leads the current break down to 48 republicans, 47 democrats, 5 gop senators and 12 democrats will have to cross the aisle to get there in the senate we expect three key votes around noon today but it is clear this monday morning there's a lot of problems, guys? brian: yeah, we're far from done, griff thanks a lot and let's hope they get together by noon today and nancy pelosi's comments as she walked back to work after the weekend off wasn't, we're going to start from zero in the house so let's bring in house minority leader kevin mccarthy. i thought you guys were going to take the senate bill and basically make minor changes and just stamp it, but is nancy pelosi going to start from scratch? >> no she's not she's playing political games and she never should have said that. there is nobody in the house here but nancy, i, and myself. she can not craft another bill. time is of the essence.

people will lose their job today because of what schumer and the others are portraying and doing. we are closer than we had been. i was in the meeting yesterday with the four leaders. this is a different process. you know what mitch mcconnell did? he did from the bottom up. he had democrats and republican senators together actually working out the bill. it was the leaders who came in and stopped this process. and what senator schumer's complaining about is resources provided to companies to keep employees hired. to me this is the lowest level. look at the difference of what we just saw a couple weeks ago in the house, when we didn't get to work with nancy pelosi, our own members had crafted a bill but when we finally got the bill we're able to make the changes to it even the language was not correct late into the night, but i moved the bill forward because i wanted america to see us working together, to give us hope that we can do this and on a handshake, we said we would fix that bill on monday, the technical changes.

what the senators did last night , it wasn't even vote on the bill. they had 30 more hours, they were simply moving the process forward, to give this country hope to show that they can work together. this is uncalled for. this is going to do damage to us , and it is unacceptable. the country does not want us to be partisan. they want us to be productive and that is what we did in the minority over on this side and what we expect to happen there but they had more input than any other time. i wish we had that type of input when we would craft a bill. steve: i tell you what leader mccarthy, newt gingrich who once upon a time was speaker, he mentioned you, and talked a little bit about what's going on right now to the republicans via the democrats. listen to this. >> what you have now is a power struggle where pelosi and schumer believe they can blackmail the president into accepting a really dumb idea and again, i think there's some

things you negotiate and some things you can work out but i personally do not want to see a trump mcconnell mccarthy team that are blackmailed by pelosi and schumer and get in. i think the american people need to understand we can get something done immediately this week, the house has to come back to do it but they ought to put a lot of pressure on pelosi and schumer to put america at a partisanship. steve: so leader mccarthy is that what's going on are they blackmailing your side? >> that's exactly what they are trying to ask for. the things that they are asking for , they want to talk about election law. they want to talk about money that was going to places, think for one moment what we were able to do before. we've sent more money to the state. we increased the funding level there that we found time to work together. this is actually to protect the jobs to provide more

resources for what we need in dealing with this situation. time is of the essence but what's so critical here is the actual senators, democrats and republicans got together and crafted the bill. it is the leadership that has come in, because they are unhappy that they couldn't craft it themselves. this is the way our founders believe we should have written the bill and for them to holdup any process of moving forward is not even voting on the bill. it's giving the 30 hours of debate to start moving. chuck schumer should allow the american public to be able to move forward and this is unacceptable. ainsley: nancy pelosi says the house will introduce its own bill. listen to what she said. >> they are so far apart should people be concerned this won't pass by monday? >> we're still talking. it's on the senate side now, because that's their deadline for a vote, but we'll be

introducing our own bill and hopefully it'll be compatible with what they discuss in the senate. >> so no deal the bipartisan at this point? >> that is exactly what newt gingrich was talking about. she has no bill, she has no people and she has no members. that was a political ploy to give cover to schumer to get his democrats to vote no. this is a moment in time that those democrat senators should not sit back and take the direction of leadership. put the american public first. brian: but kevin here is what they say specifically. you're doing a lot of great things, giving money to small businesses saying if you use this money, to keep your employees paid, you can take this as a grant. if you fire your employees it is a loan and then you said for two years, i don't want these corporations buying their stock back. the democrats said i want it longer than two years, so and they also want more money to hospitals and more money to states. i mean, is there something is

there a grey area you guys can dive into there? what is the main objection from what i just said? >> well listen, we have the resources the biggest challenge you have for small business is liquidity. why? because we ask as a government that you had to shut down to help our health. we should allow those people to help them during this bridge gap and most importantly we want people to continue working. we increase unemployment insurance here if someone gets laid off but what we're really doing is helping the small business stay afloat, pay their employees and pay their rent. we're doing the same thing on every business as we go forward. that is what you need. you want people to stay working. and for the democrats to hold this up, we're providing more money to the states we're providing more money to healthcare, we're moving the things that we need to get done but they're holding it up while they could still negotiate for the next 30 hours. they are very few things that divide them on this because democrats and republicans wrote this bill together. what is holding them up is the attitude of leadership that somehow they are not getting

credit for? this is a moment in time that you should step back and put the american public first before you want your own little title on it. steve: leader mccarthy on the senate side five republicans are out because they are in self -quarantine and rand paul tested positive. going forward, is the house thinking about how to remotely vote or how will government run if people are sick? >> look, we will figure that out. we have different options talking to the speaker about that, ways that we can get this vote forward but that even points to bigger problem right here. why would the democrats hold it up in a hope enter of time that more people are getting sick? the continuity of government you want to keep together and we will but what's more important, the millions of americans out there that need our help today put your own ambitions aside and put america first. let's solve this problem, let's move the system forward and

allow the debate to continue, to sit back and say no, or put this belief that the house is going to start crafting that be too late and too little and we would look back in history at this moment in time and look at the damage that was created just because of a personality of an individual wanted some type of credit or to leverage something a little further. this is not a time for partisanship. this is a time for us to be productive. just as we showed republicans inside this house that we voted on a bill that did not have the language that we agreed to, because we put this country first, because we did it on a handshake that we would solve it later and it was. that is not happening in the senate, while they had more input than we've ever seen before. ainsley: leader mccarthy thank you so much for being with us stay strong. >> thank you. ainsley: you're welcome. jillian has headlines for us. jillian: good morning we begin now with a fox news alert. despite coronavirus fears, secretary of state mike pompeo arriving in afghanistan overnight to help move forward a u.s. peace deal signed last

virus, get the pneumonia, get sick and then we don't have much to offer them, we're using some other drugs like remdesivir and we're trying but here is the point, steve. i agree with dr. oz that it's promising and also with dr. fau ci, when he says it's not yet studied so we should point it out as something useful and it's in our arsenal and most importantly it's well tolerated we've been using it for decades as a malaria, so there's really no reason not to try it if someone is in trouble. steve: yeah. there you go. we do have a bunch of people who have questions for you. here is one of the questions. everybody is talking about ultimately the worry is about pneumonia and the condition of your lungs. what about vaping? does that put me at increased risk of pneumonia from covid-19 dr. siegel? >> well let's put it this way. your lung is like a vacuum cleaner and you need the hairs in your lung to sweep out everything debris and viruses

including this one. the deeper this virus gets into the lungs the more of a chance of pneumonia. 20% of those hospitalized over the last few weeks in the united states have been between the ages of 20 and 44 and a lot of them are vapors and vaping actually decreases your lung defenses. short answer, it's a very bad thing to do right now and it does seem to increase your risk of the pneumonia from this virus steve: all right, here is another question for you. i had casual brief contact with somebody who ended up testing positive for covid-19. i want to be tested but no one will test me. should i worry? >> you shouldn't worry, and this question i'm getting a million times a day. i want you to understand that the fact that you had a casual contact with this person, unless you can remember an incident where they were very close or whether they coughed and sneez ed on you, something that's higher risk, your chances are pretty pretty low but i probably would want a patient like that to self-quarantine for two weeks and then i would say to them, if

you had close contact with somebody, and you end up self- quarantined for two weeks and you don't get symptoms and you're asymptomatic at the end of that period you're fine. you're not going to be spreading this. chances are very low that you ever even got it, but even if you did, it would have passed. there's no value in clogging up the testing system right now which is overloaded with a person like this one, quarantine is good enough. steve: dr. siegel we know that it's hard to find masks and gloves and things like that. we got an e-mail from g. t. that says i'm a quilter and i have been approached about making masks for nurses, from my research it doesn't seem home made masks are effective since they don't provide a seal around the perimeter and the material doesn't prevent the virus from penetrating but would it be better than nothing? and this is interesting because my sister sent me a picture of her daughter stephanie, my niece , and she's a nurse, in an elder care facility and because they don't have masks

they are making their own as well. she's actually making them. >> yeah, i'm very nervous about this whole topic because i know from studies that surgical masks , the kind of paper surgical masks we have, are better than nothing and they are useful for healthcare workers in medical settings. the hand made masks i worry about, steve, but do you know what? i love the n 95 respirator masks for healthcare workers actually facing possible covid-19 patients so if you're a healthcare worker and you have someone you think may be positive i need you to have that n 95 respirator. a lot of effort is going into getting these produced, you know we have the defense production act that the president may use, we need n 95 in there for our healthcare workers, home made masks, no. no. not good enough. steve: all right dr. mark siegel , if people have questions for our medical team, e-mail us friends@foxnews.com and also we're on facebook. dr. siegel thank you very much. >> thanks, steve.

steve: meanwhile, dallas mavericks owner mark cuban teaming up with a couple of players to make a difference during the pandemic. he tells us about their pledge to help healthcare workers, and that is next.

brian: well the dallas mavericks led by owner mark cuban are stepping up big time to help their texas community through the covid-19 pandemic he and two other players are donat ing, get this , $500,000 to cover child care, for healthcare workers, fighting this on the frontlines and we know it's only going to get harder. mavericks owner mark cuban joins us now. hey, mark almost from the first minute, if you don't mind me saying so, you set the standard. when you said i am paying all my employees through this pandemic, you kind of set the standard and got everyone's attention throughout the sports world. why was it important for that to continue? >> well, i mean, look. it was obvious that people who were getting paid by the hour, this paycheck to paycheck and they were going to suffer the most and i'm the most lucky guy in the world financially and it was the least i can do and i'm glad other people followed the example. it wasn't my intention i just wanted to help out our workers.

brian: that it is and you're doing it with two other players and you're also reimbursing any employee of yours that orders food or buys food from a local establishment, those little things mean a lot. that could keep somebody in business. >> absolutely so we're trying to do a lot of those things, right? so we reimbursed our employees and affiliates if they go and eat locally by ordering in. we're also, i mean look the healthcare providers that are on the frontlines they are the absolute heros, and so we've gone out and the ones that are doing testing in parking lots we're actually delivering meals to each of them so we have them pre-wrapped ready to go working with all of our players each and every one of the mavericks contributed a lot of money to make sure for an ongoing period, we're delivering meals while they are out there doing testing in the parking lots and so we just want to contribute, this isn't a one off thing. we're going to do it continuously. we're paying for daycare,

healthcare workers, so when it's already stressful enough when you're at work and not sure you have the ppe you need but to think what's going to happen to my kid if they don't have child care so we're paying for that as well, at ut southwest and parkland, so this is the worst of times and it's the worst of times you have to take the most drastic of actions and so we're just getting started. our goal is to keep on helping as much as we possibly can. brian: so mark, i want to bring you to something else. we need corporate america to convert when they can like gm and others and tesla and try to make these ventilators but when 3m has all these masks they have plants all around the world. why do they needed yesterday to say 500,000? >> that's a great question, brian. i mean, look here is the way 3m works and i don't think they have been a good corporate citizen and i have no problem calling them out. number one, they've been silent. every single healthcare provider and all of america has really

been stressed because all we've been hearing about is the shortage of surgical masks yet so many people including me, including you, including the feds, they are getting offer s of millions and millions of surgical masks at these crazy prices. if 3m, who knows this industry inside and out this is the core part of their business had come out and discussed with us, here is how the supply chain works, here are the issues, here is how we get to the other side, and resolve all these things, okay then maybe we can understand it, but they were deadly silent with this aing they could make as many as they could which is great. we want them to make as many as they can and then when you start doing research you realize they only sell to licensed distributors. that's not a bad thing but the purchasing being done by states and hospitals and all these different groups, they were putting such onerous credit requirements on them that it ended up being a free for all where it was just first come first serve, and then those people who were then reselling them were then price

gouging, and so we've gotten to the point now where i think governor cuomo was saying they were paying $7 a mask rather than the $0.85 they were paying prior to this. somebody is price gouging, and in a national emergency that's criminal. i'm not going to put it all on 3 m. but they should have stepped up and done something right off the bat and like you said, brian , now all of a sudden they are able to drop ship to seattle and new york or wherever, 500,000 masks? no, that's trying to put a band aid on. they need to redo this , step up and be good american corporate citizens. b 500,000 is nothing for them, so mark we're watching the market slightly up now the futures look down, because they have voted noon, it's going to be three votes at noon to get us it's up now, to get us a rescue package. what should investors know about this market today, short-term/ long term? >> you know, when you deal with imperfect information, you make

imperfect decisions. nobody actually knows how this is all going to play out. i personally think by mid-may we'll start to really start to feel the sunshine on us and things will start getting a lot better but between now and then, who knows. right now, we're looking to see what congress does in terms of aid packages . that's going to be important but honestly, i think i've been talking to people at the fda. they are busting their ass to figure out how to streamline getting money into small businesses, so that they can retain their employees they can pay their bills and they can pay their overhead and we can have some normalcy even when people are working from home. i just don't know how well they can work. i really think that the feds, the treasury should step in and say do you know what? for small and medium size businesses we're going to offer overdraft protection. you can't bounce a check. just keep on writing the checks you have been writing for your rent, your mortgage, your lease, your employees, your payroll taxes whatever it may be, and we work with the banks and we'll

cover them every single day and if you do that that allows you to have business as usual. right now, the process is setup to be an application process, mirroring what's already been in place and that's not necessarily bad but there's so much friction and delay that can be a problem and so i don't know if we're doing the politically ex peaked yet thing and everybody, each side is trying to cover themselves but we'll find out more this afternoon but in terms of the markets, you just can't panic. my number one rule is when you don't know what to do, do nothing because i'm a big believer in the united states of america. i know we'll come back. i don't know when. there's going to be some pain between now and then but if we just keep on working as hard as we can doing what we can, sticking together, we will be okay. brian: mark, thanks so much. we hope to talk to you again and by the way he's doing so much behind the scenes you don't know , to try to fix this problem , because that's who mark cuban is. mark, thanks so much appreciate it.

>> thank you. brian: you got it meanwhile, we're going to try. meanwhile, mike rowe and all his wisdom is next, don't move. that's just the low-battery warning. oh, alright. now it's all, "check out my rv," and, "let's go four-wheeling." maybe there's a little part of me that wanted to be seen. well, progressive helps people save when they bundle their home with their outdoor vehicles. so they've got other things to do now, bigfoot. wait, what'd you just call me? bigfoot? ♪ my name is daryl.

the economy from the pandemic, and that is the very latest from the fed. ainsley? ainsley: thank you, steve. let's bring in mike rowe the author of the "way i heard it" good morning to you, mike. >> hello guys how is it going? ainsley: so i know you have a message for those out there the first responder, doctors, nurses, those that are on the frontlines fighting coronavirus. >> yeah, it's short, it's sweet it's thanks. i honestly don't know what else to say that hasn't been said, which is weird for me, because i host the show called "returning the favor" whose entire purpose is to figure out new and exciting ways to say thanks on television, and obviously, we're in a crazy new world now, and i'm trying to figure out what that show looks like in this new order but fundamentally , what else can you say to the health care workers and first responders other than

we owe you one, there are no words, and when you're this tongue tied, what else can you do except say thank you very very much. brian: so mike, you are and you do and your show does that and these health care workers going to need more because this is not going away and a lot of them coming out of retirement to help out which is staggering a lot of them testing positive which is stunning but almost expected and they are going to need some help real quick just material to be able to do their job but i've got to ask you too about corporate america. from what we see so far, we see pledges to help out, when general motors says we're going to convert our plants when tesla says we're going to convert our plants when 3m is a little late, but says i'm going to get some masks to you, how important is it for corporate america to step up ethically, not gouge and produce? >> it's critical but obviously this is not a it shouldn't be a

political thing and i don't want to make it a political thing but my answer to your question in general terms is this virus, we're going to see what capital ism is really all about. we have these big conversations about the direction the country is headed and what direction the country ought to be headed. this is a chance unlike anything i've ever seen for corporate america to step up and do what the government simply can't do. obviously government has a primary role in this but i don't think they can do it alone and i'm actually really heartened. 3m and roche and general motors and a lot of these smaller companies too who have completely retooled and retrofit ted, i'm looking at these distilleries who are now making hand sanitizer it's big and it's small and it's micro, it's macro, it's everybody doing what they can, in a way that i think could ultimately make

about the most compelling case for capitalism that we've seen in our lifetime but having said that too, brian, i'm also fascinated by this notion of essential jobs. we all know what essential jobs mean right now in this moment in time because we're crystallized and focused and we understand just how needy we are but it'll be interesting to see how that definition evolves over the coming weeks and months, for instance if your toilet won't stop running or if your faucet won't stop running, are the plumbers available? an essential job to my way of thinking has always been a person who does a thing that you can't do, and the more we're isolated and the more we have to rely on ourselves and our families to take care of the stuff, in the house, right? we're going to have a whole different conversation about what essential means and what essential is i think.

steve: absolutely and in new york state where new york is pretty much on lockdown, those are essential jobs, the plumbers, the electricians, the people who keep the houses going but mike, when you saluted the first responders and the people who are tending to the sick people, at the same time, because we are all stuck in our houses a lot of the day, except to go out and walk around and see the neighbors from about 10 feet apart, the grocery stores still have plenty of things on the shelves and it's a lot of it has to do with the supply chain and it's the people who drive the trucks, and stock the warehouses and they get up every morning, and they are doing their jobs and that, they are the people who are making this self-isolation much more liveable because we don't have to worry about running out of soup. >> where would we be without the connection that's allowing us to talk right now, where

would we be without fedex, ups, amazon prime? there are two primary things that are keeping us sane at the moment, aside from walking around. the p employee who are bringing us the stuff we need and the technology that allows us to remain connected as we are right now. man, we've never been more disconnected as the people ever, that i know of and yet, we've never been more connected than we are right now as well, in a weird, different way. i honestly feel like the country is going through the five stages of grief, but we're doing it at different times. some people are still in denial, some are depressed, some are angry, some are bargaining. you see bargaining all the time and some have accepted the fact that things aren't going to go back to normal for a while. we don't know the cost of the disease. we don't know the cost of the cure. we're stuck in a traffic jam and

we have no idea when it ends. it's like when the power went off here in northern california a couple of months ago. it was off for four days but it doesn't feel like four days when you're on day three. it feels like man, maybe it's never coming back on, so i think that's where we are collectively as a people. we're trying to get up to speed with what we don't know and in the meantime, one way to stay sane is to thank the driver who brings you your stuff. it's to get an attitude of gratitude and live it as best you can because ultimately, going back to your very first question, where in the world would we be without the essential jobs, the non- essential johns. my own foundation has to push its work ethic scholarship program a month and that's not a big deal but believe me when we get through this , the kinds of jobs that we're training people to do are going to be the essential jobs and i'll be back on your show talking about

them. i can guarantee it. ainsley: yeah, mike this is why we all need to tip a little bit more if you have the extra money , tip those drivers a little more, get to-go food from your local restaurants and tip them extra there are people out there really worried about paying their bills mike rowe, thank you so much good to see you. any time guys be well. ainsley: and happy birthday i understand your birthday was in march. please i don't know whether to grieve or celebrate. ainsley: well your mom wrote a book about your father and other celebrities i have known it's out on april 14 but available for pre-sale right now so go and get it, aboutyourfatherbook.com. how are your parents doing mike? >> they are doing great, thank you. get zoom or gotomeeting or one of those things i'm sure you have it but i talk to my mom every day just like we're talking we get a cup of coffee, sit down, catch up, like i said, there is an opportunity to become weirdly more connected to the people you care about than

you ever have. brian: absolutely and i've met your mom and she's so much more interesting than you so there's no doubt that's why you talk to her all the time. she said forget about that $20 you owe her no big deal you're square. brian: all right mike rowe thanks so much. great to see you great book congratulations on everything and thanks for your insight. meanwhile, up next on this show as we finish out, staying positive during the pandemic, neil diamond makes a smile with his rendition of sweet caroline. listen. >> ♪ reaching out, don't touch me, i won't touch you ♪ steve: our own janice dean reacts to that next but first i want to check in with sandra smith and find out what's coming up on the top of her show that janice dean going back and forth and janice we'll talk to you in a second here is sandra. >> sandra: good morning, to all of you nice to begin a brand
