>> everybody's pulled together. our nation's pulled together. the spirit is incredible. >> the president yesterday, we begin this saturday with a fox news alert. the u.s. surpassing 100,000 coronavirus cases, the first country to report that many. more than 1700 people have died, 450 of them here in new york city. johns hopkins outbreak map showing more than 600,000 cases and 27,000 deaths worldwide. >> the u.s. death rate is around 1.6%. that's compared to china at 4% and italy at more than 10%. the u.s. army corps of engineers in a race against time to build temporary hospitals in new york, the nation's hot spot.

governor andrew cuomo proposing four new sites, adding to four other hospitals already set to open. >> the president heads to norfolk, virginia today to watch as the usnf comfort travels to new york to help give relief to health care providers in the outbreak's ope epicenter. the house passed a $2 trillion stimulus package. >> jed, griff, good morning. difficult and different circumstances as everyone in this network has endured. how are you both doing? >> doing okay. doing okay. it's interesting because we're doing this show -- pete is in the usual studio on the couch, i'm in a pod on the second floor in the building and griff is over in dc. hopefully this translates well to the audience. it's a challenging time, calls for different measures. we're here, we'll pull through together and we hope the audience is with us today.

>> i wish i was there with you in new york. we are social distancing. we're seeing that has been an effective tool against combating this. i've been covering this story all week long and it's been a fire hose of news, much of it bad. we have a lot of it to give perspective out of a week now of dealing with this as we head into that 15 days, it will end on monday. >> we're going to get to comments, new information about new rochelle which is the epicenter and social distance and it made a difference and we'll get to that in a moment as well. >> president trump putting america first to combat the coronavirus, after he signed a historic $2 trillion relief bill. garrett tenney is live in arlington, virginia as we learn two more lawmakers have tested positive for covid-19. garrett. >> reporter: good morning, y'all. this relief bill is a big boost to businesses and families who

are struggling economically due to the fight against the coronavirus. the $2 trillion legislative package sends checks to most americans, it boosts unemployment aid and helps out small businesses an corporations with loans to help them weather this storm. at the white house, president trump praised congress for working together to get this done. >> i want to thank republicans, i want to thank democrats for coming together for the whole of the nation and this is a great thing, a great victory. this is going to save companies that are incredible company but that are going to need help because of what happened. >> reporter: the bill passed by a voice vote despite thomas matthew's concerns over the cost and his demand that a voice vote was not enough for the costliest stimulus package in u.s. history. he received criticism from both sides from that. questiokevin mccarthy went after

democrats for not allowing the bill to get passed sooner. >> this is what speaker pelosi was fighting for, planned parenthood, changing election law, green new deal. this is the stuff we kept out of this bill. if you watch the theatrics, it's not time for thee a theatric's,s time to defeat the threat. >> reporter: two lawmakers have announced they tested positive for the virus, bringing the total number of affected representatives to five. back to y'all. >> thank you very much. griff, you've been in washington, d.c. for years. you've seen how they work together. talk to us about how unprecedented this kind of vote is, this reaction is on this bill moving forward. >> it's remarkable, pete and jed. i've never seen anything like it. we had a little bit of a stall, speaker pelosi coming back into town. but eventually in what was about 48 hours, both houses of

congress and the president delivered the largest stimulus rescue package in the country and that is why with so many people unemployed, so many small businesses struggling, when larry kudlow, the white house economic advisor was on hannity last night, talking about why we've got to do what we can to help individuals and entire families, some of whom will get perhaps a check in the next three weeks for upwards of $3,400. here's larry kudlow. >> we want to try to keep individuals and their families, we want to keep them whole. they may need the check to keep them whole, take care of family finances and take care of the kids. we want to keep the businesses whole. we had a strong economy going into this. we were growing at better than 3%. now we're going to face a temporary short-lived contraction. after that, the underlying strength of the economy should

come back very quickly. that's why these assistance plans across the board throughout the economy are so important. >> $2 trillion, some things a lot of us don't like but had to happen now. >> yeah, that's the thing. you see a big dollar value like that and it can be alarming at times. right now, when you're in a crisis mode and you realize so many families, so many small businesses and large businesses need the help right now, there's no other alternative. to everyone who is out there who has been digging at this and saying this is a loan fund for corporations, you have to remember, corporations employ people. that trickles down to individuals out there, that trickles down to people who are trying to put food on the table for themselves and for their families and their children. this is a relief package that was absolutely necessary, although the price tag is high right now. i can't conceive of another way to do it. people need help and i'm glad republicans and democrats finally came together and made it happen. >> some art centers got funded, congress got additional pay

raises, nobody loves the fact that people load up on bills that are a must pass. but at this moment it had to. we've got both sides of this covered, though, this morning. we have the congressional side, we have congressman michael waltz, congressman adam kin singer and on the medical side, dr. jeanette neshua, dr. niko sapphire--nicole siegel. we have the medical side, how do we lower the curve as we move forward. >> what we're really seeing at the end of this week is the president sort of trying to weigh and juggle if you will the health risk and the need to get the economy going back. we heard a lot here at the end of the week about his talking about considering reopening areas of lower risk. dr. birx was talking at the task force about how they've been able to track the spread and

target the hot spots. p presidenphysical therapy is se -- president trump is saying what we have to do now is plan the next phase. the 15 day period ends on monday. he's talking about the new guidelines that will be rolled out. here's the president at the white house. >> my administration is actively planning the next phase in an all-out of war against this horrible virus. we're now testing nearly 100,000 patients per day, more than anybody in the world. new york is just coming into this really heated situation. we're building a lot of things in new york right now that nobody thought would ever be built. we are talking about possibly other parts of the country which really aren't affected to any major degree or maybe we won't do that because maybe at the advice of a lot of very talented people that do this for a living, they won't want to do that, they don't want to expose anything, they want to do it all at one times. these are the kind of things

we're talking about. >> this is an evolving issue day-to-day. every day there's a new reality. look at the emergen emergent ho, detroit, seattle, philadelphia, boston. you see new york city is a hot spot right now. that could change. the focus could shift to another location. the reality is a that there may need to be a different plan for each individual city because everyone is facing a different challenge. even though we're battling the same enemy in therms of the virus, everyone's experience is unique and every city has a unique dynamic that needs to be addressed in a unique way. >> that's a good point. in louisiana, they're in the top three among per capita cases, they're doubling every three days. if not increasing in the infections. ani read one out of every 10,000

new orleans residence has died because of coronavirus. so the response in new orleans and the big easy will be different perhaps than it is in bismarck, north dakota or elsewhere. >> absolutely. also some stats have come back and shown that as we test more, which we have the capability to do in our country, thank god, we're learning that the mortality rate is actually lower because we're testing people who otherwise we wouldn't have known are infected and we're learning more about local areas as well. remember new rochelle. it was quarantined, it was the epicenter of this virus a couple weeks ago. thankfully, they took a lot of these measures, showing that social distancing is important and the new york times is reporting this morning, here's a headline right here, new rochelle once a coronavirus hot spot, now may offer hope. and here's why. here's a quote from the article from the new york times. everybody talks about flattening the curve and i think that's exactly what we are able to do in new rochelle. we know we can't stop every single case but our goal is to

reduce the number of cases and i do think the measures were successful in doing that. if you look at the number of cases in new rochelle, guys, they took strong measures and sustained them and as a result the population there has been able to quell the spread of the virus. much fewer people in critical care in hospice than they anticipated because they took the measures. i think this morning as we step back and bring in this information, you say hey, stay true to what our officials are asking us to do, stay vigilant and there is hope on the other side of this. >> hopeful in terms of strategy because obviously if people look at that strategy and see success, that is one that they would then implement in other places. this is all a day-to-day i think top health officials, doctors, medical professionals, people in the military who are assisting are evaluating this and seeing, okay, let's implement something in one location and if it is successful we can take that strategy and if another area of the country is hit in a similar manner we can do that. so it's a learning process and

learning curve for everyone and hopeful to see a strategy that was implemented is having some degree of success at containment. you can't prevent every case. the goal is not -- is to prevent it from spreading, to flatten the curve. if they're able to do that, that's hopeful for other places, including new york city which can get scary day-to-day. >> what struck me about the article is residents admitted they felt it was punishment in the beginning but in hindsight they're glad it happened. one thing i never changed my attitude about is gillia jillia. >> thank you. a second nypd worker has died from the coronavirus. she passed away after being hospitalized on thursday. she worked at the roll call office in the bronx. a custodian from the department died from covid-19 earlier this week. 512 nypd workers have tested

positive for the virus. one state is enforcing a two week quarantine on new yorkers. today, the national guard is going door-to-door in rhode island, looking for new yorkers would are visiting the state, putting them in quarantine. the governor calling the measure extreme but necessary. state police are pulling over cars with new york license plates informing the drivers of the quarantine. new york city is the coronavirus epicenter of the u.s. a leader in america's civil rights movement has died. reverend joseph lowry worked closely with martin luther king, junior and jesse jackson, helped start the southern christian leadership conference with king in the 1960s. since then, he fought against issues in the criminal justice system. he died of natural causes at his atlanta home. he was 98 years old. music legends are coming together for a concert to

benefit coronavirus charities. ♪ everything's going to be all right. ♪ no one, no one, no one. >> allysia keys will join the backstreet boys, maria carrie and other artists for the fox presents iheart living room concert for america. they will live stream performances from their homes to yours. you can watch it tomorrow at 9:00 p.m. eastern on all fox platforms including right here on fox news channel. and i think it's going to be a warm welcome for a lot of people to give them something to look forward to. and stay hopeful about. >> something to smile about. thanks, jillian. >> coming up, a testing breakthrough, potential covid-19 patients will soon know if they have the virus in as little as five minutes. we have details on how this new test works, that's coming up. at papa john's, we want you to know that from our

pete: welcome back. the white house coronavirus task force making testing the priority as over 100,000 cases are confirmed in the u.s. this comes as a brand-new test could let potential covid-19 patients know if they have the virus in as little as five minutes. here to explain how it works is fox news medical contributor, dr. janette nesheiwat. thank you for joining us. we heard about the turnaround time of these tests, five minutes would be drastically quicker. talk to us about this. >> yeah, that's pretty phenomenal. i love it. it's joining the ranks of our rapid strep test, flu test, pregnancy test. this is what we need. this can add an additional 50,000 tests a day and we need this. we need this for broad surveillance to see are the thee outbreaks in the community.

the test is highly accurate and it can be available next week and it's easy. all you have to do is a swab of the nose or the throat. so you don't have to worry about blood testing. pete: doctor. is this self administered, is this something physicians will do? what's the parameters of this? >> this is something abbott will send out units to urgent care centers, ers and hospitals, you have to be seen by a doctor for this to be done. we take a swab of your nose or your mouth and we take that specimen and put it in a reagent and the cartridge into the machine and within five minutes it can tell you if you're positive or not. and then we can tell you, okay, you're positive, go home. self isolate. so give you a sense of targeting isolation versus isolating everyone. that way we can get people who are negative, they can go back to their regular business, go back to their regular duties versus having to have everyoneself quarantine. pete: i feel like this is the

real-time information physicians and experts need and want in order to determine what happens next. >> absolutely. absolutely. we definitely need this because it can help in areas where there's outbreaks and can help with surveillance so we can see if there's an early outbreak brewing so we can take action quickly. pete: real quick, we'll probably have you back to answer questions, but folks are learning about this right now, how quickly will this roll out in their community, how do they know about it? >> sure. abbott says it should be available next week. right now, they're going to send it to areas where there's outbreak, a greater need and hopefully it will be disseminated to other areas for broad surveillance of screening not just for areas of outbreak. pete: dr. nesheiwat, thank you for everything you're doing for us right now. keep sending questions, friends at fox news dot-com. still ahead, as president trump signs the $2 trillion relief bill, our next guest says the

responsible way to combat the crisis is to put americans back to work. brian brenberg explains after this. restaurants have always been there for you. and even though tables are empty at the moment... now you can be there for them. while the doors may be closed, the kitchens are open for delivery.

sure, principal is a fibut think of us as a "protect your family as it grows" company. a "put enough away for college" company. and a "take care of your employees" company. we're a "help you ride the ups and downs of the market" company. and when it's time to retire, we're a "we've been guiding you toward this all along" company.

think of us as all these companies, and more. principal. retirement. investments. insurance.

>> a few months ago this economy was roaring. and we hit this literally this bug, this virus, and we will deal with it and i think the assistance bill here which does have growth incentives will help lead us back to a very strong economic rebound before this year is over. griff: national economic council director larry kudlow optimistic the economy will recover after stocks had fallen drastically during the covid-19 pandemic. our next guest says the responsible way for leaders to combat the coronavirus crisis is

to put americans back to work. here to explain is professor of business and economics at kings college of manhattan and now a fox news contributor, brian benberg. good morning to you -- brenberg. thanks for joining us. you say put americans back to work, that's an important part of this recovery. why? >> i think it's obvious. i mean, people are sitting at home right now. the economy is shut down and they're wondering what is the path forward. when do i get back to making a contribution on the job, when do i get back to my work space, when can i get back to providing for my family. the president brought it up, talked about wanting to reopen the economy by easter and he got a lot of pushback on that and i just think that's misguided. we don't know whether easter's going to be the right date but obviously when you have 3 million people this week making new claims, new jobless claims, you know you have to get people back on the job. that's part of recovery. tens of millions of people are

affected by this shutdown. that has to be part of the conversation. right alongside of how we deal with the health risk, how do we deal with people's economic risk. griff: the timing, brian, you know easter as a target date sounded good. however, you know, you could unleash a second wave of infections, certainly if people all went to church. in new rochelle, for example, which is becoming a bit of a success story, started with a synagogue, they drew a line and contained it, now they're seeing positive results. perhaps this is too soon to have the conversation. >> i don't think it's too soon to have it. we need to follow the data. we need to be smart. no one is making an arrestingment we want to recklessly go back on the job. we have to plan for this. i wrote about this on foxnews.com this morning. if you don't plan for it now, it's going to slow our ability to get back on the job. the situation is evolving very quickly.

your previous guest talked about the new test that allows you to find out if you have the virus in five minutes. those are the kinds of things that can allow people to get back on the job. but we have to be thinking about it right now if we're going to be able to act in a timely way and people need that. they need their paycheck. the stimulus bill is great but they need a paycheck. griff: quickly, 23 states have stay at home orders, the states account for 54% of the u.s. gdp, how damaging is this impact having right now? >> it's very big. there's no question about it. we're going to be in recession. you're going to continue to see unemployment claims over the next few weeks that are going to be eye-brow raising which again raises the issue, you have to think about the off-ramp from this. the sooner we can get it back, the safer we can get it back, the better off people will be, the more secure they're going to feel and i think as a nation the quicker we're going to recover from this thing. griff: brian brenberg, thank you for joining us. we appreciate your insights.

>> you bet. thank you. griff: today, president trump will travel to norfolk, virginia to send off the usnf comfort, a navy hospital ship headed to new york. the acting segment will be alongside the president later today. he joins us live coming up. ♪ 1 in 3 deaths is caused by cardiovascular disease. millions of patients are treated with statins-but up to 75% persistent cardiovascular risk still remains. many have turned to fish oil supplements. others, fenofibrates or niacin. but here's a number you should take to heart: zero-the number of fda approvals these products have, when added to statins, to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. ask your doctor about an advancement in prescription therapies with proven protection. visit truetoyourheart.com

pete: help is on the way. watch as hospital ship usnf mercy pulls into port in los angeles. it moved to the city from san diego amid surging coronavirus cases there. nearly 900 medical workers are on-board. they will treat patients who are not diagnosed with coronavirus, helping ease the demand on local hospitals. 1,000 hospital beds are on the ship. jed: wow. its sister ship, the comfort, preparing to deploy to new york city today to help ease the burden on city hospitals. griff: president trump will soon head to norfolk, virginia, along with our next guest to watch the vessel set sail. pete: here with more is the acting secretary of the navy. thank you for being here. we appreciate it. tell us the overview of the efforts the navy is making here. >> well, as you know, these two hospital ships are very unique ships. we keep them largely to work

with our forces in the case of a major wartime scenario. over the past several years, they've been used all over the world to assist individuals in disaster situations and they've become sort of symbol of the united states, our compassion and also our capability to respond quickly to crisis. this will be the first time they've been used in the united states. i asked the question back in february whether or not they could be used to assist in this crisis and they thought creatively about how to get these ships ready on time and they're on their way so it's very exciting for us. jed: if you look at the usnf comfort and some of the features, 1,000 patient beds, 80 intend sieve care beds, up to 1200 personnel. it's incredible. i'm in awe of how quickly this was able to b mobileized. can you tell us what the

procedure was, when someone would get notified to get the ship ready, how quickly it could happen and what the protocol is like internally. is there order? is there chaos. what is some insight on what's going on on the inside. >> it's remarkable and we appreciate all the accolades we've been getting about getting the ships together. this is what we do in the united states navy. obviously, i'm very proud of the efforts that were taking place here. initially we thought how could we actually use these ships, they're not designed to help with infectious disease or we don't have the hospital crew that are assigned to them who are infectious disease doctors or epidemiologists. so what we -- as we worked through the process, we thought we could possibly help offload some of the demand that these hospitals are having, particularly in heavy population areas like los angeles and new york. it was a matter of saying how can we accelerate some of the maintenance things, put some things off for a later time so we could still get the ships up

there on time to help with the crisis because every day matters and so it's been great. griff: let me ask you too, because i had the privilege in 2003 to go on the usnf comfort during the invasion of iraq and what we saw then was their ability to change and adapt to the mission and in this case you're providing not just 1,000 hospital beds, but you're bringing in wartime footing, medical, changing evolving tactics. >> exactly. this is something that i've told the force since i've been on this job that we need to be very prepared for a future that's going to be unpredictable. i think that's the most predictable thing we can say about it. i said that severe years ago, before i knew about the coronavirus. but here we are. the nation needs us and the nation expects us to step up and that's exactly what we're doing. pete: what is your message to americans who see ships arriving at big cities that they reveer and there's a lot of uncertainty as the secretary of the navy,

what would you say to people? >> well, i think that they should feel very confident that their navy is doing what we expect their navy to do. in addition to these two ships, i hope they recognize that we have 90 other ships out there at sea performing operational missions to protect the country and we do this every day and there are young americans on those ships and they are incredible. i've met them all over the world. what i hope will happen out of this is that they'll get a sense of comfort, particularly in these areas that are sensing the crisis like new york and los angeles, that they'll see these ships and they'll get a sense of comfort that the nation is very prepared and able to respond in crises like this and i hope the ships are able to do their mission and hopefully that will be something we'll be reading about and i think the entire nation will be very proud of the crews on the ships. jed: i know being in new york city, it's incredibly comforting

to me to see this effort and just -- i live in awe of numbers of the military, like yourself, who are able to mobilize and i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart as someone who lives in manhattan, who sees this close to home. i'm very grateful for everything you're doing and i know everyone on the panel and everyone in the city and other cities as well. >> i appreciate that it's our honor to be able to do this. this what is we've been asked to do. every sailor around the world who has an opportunity to see these ships know that they're part of that same force and they want to do everything they can to help the nation get through this crisis. that's what we are here for. pete: you're checking the iranians and chinese and others around the globe as we deal with this as well. mr. secretary, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you for having me on. thank you. jed: thank you so much. pete: we've got jillian mele right next to me. >> i'm not right next to you. pete: close enough to see. >> we are social distancing.

other side of the studio, be very clear. let's start with this story. hillary clinton blasted for using one of president trump's campaign slogans to criticize his crisis response. clinton tweeting he did promise, quote, america first with a link to the article titled the u.s. leads the world in confirmed coronavirus cases. as you can imagine, several critics fired back including congressman dan crenshaw who tweeted, quote, delete your quote, this can't be the time where american tragedy is applauded for the sake of political opportuneism. president trump ordering general motors to begin making ventilators. thautomaker is starting a second facility making ventilators. peter navarro is in charge of enforcing the defense production act. >> the fanatics switching up

the game, now making medical masks and gowns out of uniform cloth. the goal is to make up to 1 million of them. they'll be donated to hospitals around pennsylvania. team owners are preparing a new schedule for games to run into december. so i guess you could say they are - john rich performs an entire concert from the comfort of his nashville home. watch this. >> ♪ stay home. ♪ stay home. ♪ no reason in the world for you to roam. >> rich debuted his newest song, stay home. he played his hits and other country songs for self-isolating americans all around the country. you can check out rich's show on fox nation. back to you. jed: thanks, jillian. catch a concert, doing that right out of his house. i love that. we need more of that.

thanks so much. you know what else we need more of, we need more of rick who is joining us via skype. rick, welcome. >> good morning, guys. my first skype with you. pete: you look great, rick. what have you got for us, brother? >> i tell you what, you know what, a lot of weather is really happening this weekend, especially today and really want to point it out for people who are self-isolating and who are worried about what is going on. there's also a big worry in the weather world right now. take a look at the weather maples. we've got really warm air across parts of the southeast and much colder air across the west and that's the perfect setup for some really severe weather that we're going to be watching today and it's going to be right across parts of the central plains. this is a little bit farther north than you would generally see this time of year, generally this time of year you see severe weather that's more down across parts of the southeast and with that weather in the southeast that you normally get, you might be thinking i'm expecting that this time of year but in march, this is not very common at all. so where we've got the

bull's-eye is across parts of mostly illinois, north central illinois, right around the mississippi river valley, so far eastern iowa, areas around st. louis and towards chicago. some of the severe weather is likely going to be in the form of large tornadoes, these could be large, long-lasting tornadoes, the kind that can be really destructive. also a timeing on this one, we need to watch. this will start midday, so sometimes things start later in the day, but go around 1:00, and you start to see dark colors around illinois and missouri. those are the beginnings of what will be severe weather that will play out throughout the early afternoon, in towards the late evening, we'll get another batch that moves through as the cold front begins to push through with this. so be very careful this afternoon. the threat of very large and damaging tornadoes and those are the ones that often prove to be deadly. so everyone here across the central plains needs to be

watching very close. guys. pete: rick, thank you. we may get a moment to talk about it at greater length but rick, your company is, attempting to help out in this crisis as well. talk to us about that a little bit. >> we've been working on a rain jacket we're going to launch later on this year, turns out our factory also makes the n95 masks. we're working towards being able to get those here and wherever they're needed in the u.s. right now, one of our big projects. pete: you and i have had personal conversations about this. i think we should talk about it more on the air, possibly tomorrow, the complications companies like yours are facing in good faith, people are all trying to respond to this. how do you cut through the red tape, right? >> you're exactly right. there's not any real easy way to get these here, primarily because first responders and hospitals and cities and governments, state governments, city governments, county governments are all trying to get these masks but for the supplier, we go in, into each

one of their systems to put bids in basically to say we've got masks that are available if you would like them. that ends up us putting them into thousands of portals and then thousands of people have to come to us. there's no centralized spot for it so it's been complicated for us. griff: good for you, rick. well done. pete: thank you very much, appreciate it. jed: still ahead, our next guest is a mother and coronavirus survivor who documented her battle. now that she's fully recovered she is helping others get access to treatment, that's coming up next.

in july 4th of 1776 -- >> we declared our independence. >> we declared our independence from who. >> britain. >> correct, the british. pete:.griff: that was videotapm last week at the hegseth school for higher learning. this week, the lectures continue. you will probably be asked to be guest lecturers at some point. think about your topic. this week was war, an overview, the history. we talked about andrew jackson, our famous president. politics, political views, the left and the right, what is the political spectrum, imagine explaining that to 7 and 8 and 9 year olds. economics, that was thursday, that's the crux of the school. friday was fun friday, we put on fox nation and let brian kilmeade educate them in our

living room, doing the andrew jackson documentary he has on fox nation and of course tuesday was trigger tuesday, so they learned the safety, the beginning of safety of weapons. we did a little qualification range with an air rifle. there's my son with his target, you can't quite see it. there's gunner right there, sizing it up. we have a basketball camp all week long as well, ball handling camp. listen, you find the silver lining where you can, guys in this moment and try to spend the special moments you can with the kids while you can. jed: pete, i wasn't sure you were going to come back and host with us because you are enjoying this role way too much. you're like the principal of a school in full on effect. the other thing i will say again is how well dehaiived these kids are -- behaved these kids are. you see them in the classroom raising your hands. i'm going to come to you when i need to parent my child when gets out-of-hand and figure out how you did that because that's some mastery right there.

griff: can i get some clarity here? jed just said principal, pete, but clearly we see you as the coach and the professor but i have an inclination that perhaps the actual principal in charge of the school is your better half jen. pete: jen is the academic dean. this is in charge of the curriculum. she's there, always hovering, maintaining the quality of the program but you know what works, a good ruler is very effective in maintaining discipline. you can't use that in the public schools anymore. you can at the hegseth school for higher learning. if you're not listening, a good whack will put you back into focus and then you're back on your math or english or history and it's neat. we do the pledge every morning, like some schools do which every school should do. we bring the kids together for that, we pray, read the bible, we talk about the plan for the day and then, listen, they've got their school. but the chance to have an hour with your kids, uninterrupted

without devices and distrackses and talking about the things you care about, it's actually a great exercise. how do you explain socialism and capitalism to a kid, explain left and right to a kid in a way they relate to. it's neat, fun to do. jed: i love this topic. i hear from participants around the country -- parents around the country, you're faced with this challenge. you have to become all of these roles, have you to be parent, you have to be principal, teacher and coach and you're doing it all and showcasing it and it's not always easy. it's great to seem i want to hear from viewers as well, seeing the segment that pete did so beautifully, tell us how you're teaching your kids, send us photos or any sort of information and it will help me in the future in case i end up in crisis again. pete: get your guest lectures lined up. griff: i'm ready. i want to teach journalism. jed: i don't think i can talk about the bachelor.

i'll have to come up with something else. coming up, president trump signs the historic $2 trillion relief bill and activates armed forces reserves. colonel michael waltz joins us on that coming up next. know they were talking to her. (deborah) i just could not hear. i was hesitant to get the hearing aids because of my short hair, but nobody even sees them. (avo) our nearly invisible hearing aids are just one reason we've been the brand leader for over 70 years. (deborah) when i finally could hear for the first time, i started crying. i could hear everything.

>> i'm on day eight of being positive for covid-19 and yesterday's post was super positive and i was hoping today's would be too. i'm not having the best day. jed: a new york mom documenting her recovery from coronavirus, all in an effort to help others. it's now been two weeks since she was diagnosed and now that she's fully recovered, she has big plans to take on the virus with other survivors.

diana brent joins me now. welcome to the show. >> thanks so much for having me on. i really appreciate it. jed: love having you here. first of all, how is your recovery going at this point. >> i am recovered. you are looking at the face of a covid-19 survivor. so let that be some degree of hope to all of those out there who are taking care of themselves at home and who will get through this at home just like i did and i feel for the people who have had worse luck than i have but i've been extremely lucky with this and was able to manage it at home and i am feeling back to myself and i'm recovered. jed: that is fantastic news to hear. one thing that's amazing that you have done is you have mobileized survivors of this to come together along with health care professionals. you started this survivor core group. can you talk a little about that for us? >> yes. so one of the things that i realized when i -- i was one of the first people in my area to be diagnosed with covid-19 and as soon as i got my positive

diagnosis i realized i was going to be one of the first survivors and with that came a tremendous responsibility but an opportunity because survivors could have superheros -- super powers. we can donate our blood. we can donate our plasma. i started seeing basically chain e-mails going around from research institutions, looking for survivors and i realized if we could create a mobilization effort to gather those survivors in an opt of-in database -- opt-in database eventually. right now it's a grass roots movement on facebook which has almost 10,000 members in two days and matches are made left and right between researchers and survivors. ultimately it will be an opt-in database that will expedite the process. jed: unfortunately, we're running out of time. i want to thank you so much. this is a great way to pair researchers with people who have had the virus, potential plasma

donations. thank you so much for being here and it's a great step in the right direction. >> thank you. jed: still ahead, president trump signing the largest stimulus bill in history providing much needed relief for american families and businesses. how soon could you have a check in your hands? nooooooo! not another commercial! when you bundle your home, auto and life insurance with allstate you could save 25%. in fact, the more you bundle the more you can save. put the other game on if it's important to you allstate can protect it. ...home auto and life insurance you could save 25%. if it's important to you allstate can protect it. what? bundle and save with allstate. click or call for a quote today. if you have postmenopausal osteoporosis and a high risk for fracture, now might not be the best time to ask yourself, 'are my bones strong?' life is full of make or break moments. that's why it's so important to help reduce your risk of fracture with prolia®. only prolia® is proven to help strengthen and protect bones from fracture with 1 shot every 6 months.

do not take prolia® if you have low blood calcium, are pregnant, are allergic to it, or take xgeva. serious allergic reactions like low blood pressure, trouble breathing, throat tightness, face, lip or tongue swelling, rash, itching or hives have happened. tell your doctor about dental problems, as severe jaw bone problems may happen. or new or unusual pain in your hip, groin or thigh, as unusual thigh bone fractures have occurred. speak to your doctor before stopping, skipping or delaying prolia®, as spine and other bone fractures have occurred. prolia® can cause serious side effects, like low blood calcium, serious infections, which could need hospitalization, skin problems, and severe bone, joint, or muscle pain. are you ready? ask your doctor how prolia® can help strengthen your bones.

>> no effort will be spared in winning this war. we're going to win the war. hopefully we're going to win soon and with as few lives as possible lost. jed: this is a fox news alert, the u.s. surpassing 100,000 coronavirus cases, the first country to report that many cases, more than 1700 people have died. the johns hopkins outbreak map showing 600,000 cases and 27,000 deaths worldwide. pete: you look at the recovery rate, that's important. the u.s. death rate is around 1.6%. look at those numbers. that's compared to china at 4% and italy at more than 10%. the u.s. army corps of engineers in a race against time to build

temporary hospitals in new york, the nation's hot spot. governor andrew cuomo proposing four new sites adding to four other hospitals already set to open. griff: and the president heads to norfolk, virginia today to watch the usnf comfort as it travels to new york to help give relief to health care providers in the outbreak's epicenter. president trump also providing relief by signing the largest still muse deal -- stimulus deal in u.s. history. >> this will deliver urgently needed relief to our nation's families workers and businesses. i want to thank republicans and democrats for coming together, setting aside their differences and putting america first. griff: the house overwhelmingly passing the $2 trillion package. it is really something remarkable. good morning to you. as i join you from washington, jed and pete in new york. pete: good morning to you both. we look at all these numbers, that 1.6% death rate, while

every death is too much, when you consider how transparent we are about our numbers, how our testing is growing, it's encouraging to see that in this country we're taking the measures that can reduce that number to a point where we can slow the spread and i know a lot of people are nervous but thankfully the measures are being taken. it's just a matter of time. jed: pete, i know you have more experience with this than i do but i look at the ships that are arriving and i am in complete awe, not only of their ability to mobilize so quickly and get something like that put together but what they're able to do on there in terms of each area being -- having its own ventilation system, having so many beds, so many staff, a pharmacy on board. you look at that and think to yourself that looks like something that would have taken months and months to prep for and it's like the need came and they delivered and i'm grateful to the u.s. army corps of engineers. i'm still in that stage of being in awe that they were able to accomplish this so quickly.

pete: bringin griff: bringing in the health of the military. we have adam kin singer coming up. you're bringing people that are used to running into fire and bullets not away from it. we've also got house minority whip steve scalise and montana senator steve danes and we've got dr. nicole saphier and dr. marc siegel here. we have everyone covered. that ship by the way, i did in 2003 get to go on the usnf comfort and it's really remarkable. there's nothing stronger or finer than a ship that's been trained to do what they're doing right now. pete: the capacity our military has, sometimes we forget about this, moments like this it brings it to the fore, the training they have and how much investment there is in keeping our war fighter safe and moments like this we can bring to bear in our own country. one of the people we're going to talk to this morning is on deck right now. florida congressman michael waltz. he's a lieutenant colonel, u.s.

army and former green beret commander. thank you for being here. we appreciate it. you can speak to many angles of this. we want you to weigh in on the $2 trillion relief bill that was passed and signed. some criticism about some of the spending that's in there but ultimately speak to what this will do for americans and loans to businesses. >> well, as a fiscal conservative, 2 continue to $2 trillion of -- 2 continu $2.n it was a tough pill to swallow. it was the right thing to do. the businesses in florida, in hospitality, tourism, the bottom is falling out of. they need this lifeline. this will provide individual tax rebate checks, $1,200 per person, $500 per child, direct deposit, hoping to get those out by april 6th. what i like, why i voted for it,

is what it's doing for small businesses. i built a business from scratch. i understand payroll and carrying costs and credit facilities and what it's going to do is any business we're hoping by the end of next week can go to a bank and receive 2 and-a-half times their current payroll as a grant, so long as they keep those individuals on their payroll. we want to keep everyone employed and on business roles, not on the unemployment rolls. you can also defer your payroll taxes until next we're an year t gives you debt relief. for those reasons -- look, everything we're doing on the public health front is causing collateral damage over on the economic front and we have to help those folks out. jed: definitely a very important step. another important step is what president trump is doing today which is that he's heading to norfolk to send off the usnf comfort hospital ship. tell us about the next steps for the comfort hospital and what

that's likely to look like. >> so one of the things about the ship is, it is wonderfully equipped. these ships do humanitarian missions all over the world or they can supplement in a combat zone in terms of mass casualties. so one of the things they can do, though, is they can pull some of the burden off corona cases while they handle everything else. one of the things about them, it is kind of tight quarters and while they will try to quarantine some people for some corona cases, my understanding from the armed services committee is that's the intent, they'll pull regular cases off and pull that burden while the corona cases are on the front line. can i tell you, i talked to a family member who is a physician in manhattan and she is going into combat every day when she goes into that emergency room.

we have a duty in congress to give them the equipment that we need, just like we have a duty to give our soldiers and other types of war the equipment that they need and i'm proud to support this. pete: absolutely. congressman, we had the acting secretary of the navy, to your point, thomas mobly on the program earlier. he reinforced what you're talking about. here's what he had to say. >> they become sort of the symbol of the united states, our compassion and also our capability to respond quickly to crises. this will be the first time they've been used in the united states. i think what i hope will happen out of this is that they'll get a sense of comfort, particularly in these areas that are sensing the crisis like new york and los angeles, that they'll see these ships and get a sense of comfort that the nation is very prepared and able to respond in crises like this and hopefully it will calm some nerves. pete: big symbol, powerful symbol, congressman, as you

know, with she's ships. jed, you referenced that. i want to get your take on president trump activating certain members of the reserves to battle the coronavirus pandemic, potentially the individual ready reserve, the national gander reserve are one thing. they're notifying the individual ready reserve. talk to us about what that is, what does that mean? >> so that is essentially almost like just a database of when pete, if you and i left the national guard right now, we would still be in the ready research it's this notion of you're a soldier for life and you can always be called in a tile of national emergency. they keep your contact information, your specialty, how to get ahold of you and where that's really useful in this case is certain specialities that you may need a lot of, like health care workers, nurses, physicians, and others that they can dig into that retire -- folks that have retired or did their couple of years and moved

on, you can dig into that database and call up in times of national emergency, like this one. i do want to say that this is not a prelude to a national lockdown. we have to put those rumors to bed. but it does give the department of defense, the secretary of the army, the corps of engineers additional flexibility and resources. remember, the national guard is under state control and under the governors. the reserve and active duty is under federal control. what they can do in certain places is put what they call a dual status commander, that can command both of those, all under one umbrella and that's what i suspect we'll see. jed: that's an important distinction you made between saying this is different, this is not a national lockdown. let's take a listen to president trump on calling up the armed forces reserves and what he had to say. >> this will allow us to mobilize medical disaster and emergency response personnel, to help wage our battle against the

virus by activating thousands of experienced service members including retirees. we have a lot of people retirees, great, great military people, they're coming back in who have offered to support the nation in this extraordinary time of need. pete: colonel, the president reinforcing exactly what you talked about and readying the nation for that i want to ask you a quick question before we go because there are a rising number of cases in neighboring states to florida. are you concerned florida may be the next coronavirus hot spot? >> well, of course we're concerned and i think that thee are the measures that you are supposed to take in terms of people fleeing the hot spots in new york, we all know new yorkers love to come to florida and that's okay. they're normally welcome. but right now we would ask everyone to stay and then also louisiana, so what you're going to see is i think you're going to see state troopers and then some of these national guardsmen and reserveists trying to keep

things contained while we break the spread and while we also deal with the economic fallout, you're going to see everybody working in tandem to make that happen. we have to abide by the guidelines. pete: colonel and congressman michael waltz, thank you very much for your time this morning. we appreciate it. griff: thanks, congressman. >> thank you. let's stay strong. let's roll, america. pete: amen. we want to toss it now to jillian mele who has a few additional headlines. jillian: we start with a tragic story, four people are dead, more than 100 are sick on a cruise ship off panama's coast. two passengers testing positive for the coronavirus on the holland america ship. the rest complaining of flu-like symptoms. the ship didn't have coronavirus testing kits until thursday. those who are feeling sick are staying on the ship for medical treatment. more than 1200 people were on-board including hundreds of americans. hundreds of stranded americans are brought home on planes used

to deport illegal immigrants. i.c.e. bringing nearly 300 people back to the states from central america. they were stuck in el salvador and honduras as the countries are under heavy travel restrictions amid the coronavirus. honduras closed borders entirely. two of america's popular theme parks will remain closed. disneyland and disney world shut down until further notice. they shuttered their theme parks amid the coronavirus outbreak earlier this month. disney says the safety of workers and guests are the top priority. hourly employees will continue to be paid through april 18th. meanwhile, a passenger on of dashboard a disney cruise ship tests positive for covid-19. the disney wonder left new orleans and docked in san diego last week. music superstars are coming together for a concert to benefit coronavirus charities. ♪ i'm a bad guy. ♪ di duh.

jillian: billie eilish will join mariah carey, tim mcgraw and other artists for the fox presents iheart living room concert for america. they will live stream performances from your home to yours. you can watch it tomorrow at 9:00 p.m. eastern on all fox platforms, including this channel. pete: still ahead, the army corps of engineers in a race against time to build makeshift hospitals in coronavirus hot spots. the next guest explains their crucial role in saving lives. just because someone grows older

does that mean they have to grow apart from their friends, or from the things they love to do? with right at home, it doesn't. right at home's professional team thoughtfully selects caregivers to help with personal care, housekeeping, meals - and most of all, staying engaged - in life. oh, thank you, thank you. you're welcome. are you ready to go? oh, i sure am. we can provide the right care, right at home. jed: in the fight against coronavirus there's a new study out of france showing that a combination of two drugs may be

effective in treating covid-19. here to discuss the ceo of rose medical management, dr. keith rose. welcome to the show. >> good morning. jed: good morning to you. this combination of drugs that's being discussed, could you talk about that and why this study gives us any new sense of hope as to their effectiveness? >> well, there's been reports anecdotal and some in the literature for several years that the drugs were effective in treating viruses. there have been a lot of physicians especially the physician in new york that was treating patients with this and reporting that they were having good success. they're drugs that are common and drugs that can -- already have fda approval, while not for this specific reason, they can use these as an off-label to treat. they're available and showing good efficacy. jed: can you clarify which drugs you're talking about, talking about the zythromycin and what's the second drug.

>> the hydrochloroquine drug. we're using that combination to treat this disease. jed: is there something different about this study of what was found in terms of effectiveness that is making people optimistic about it in terms of number of patients who are taking the drug and seeing positive results? what is it about this study that's giving people newfound hope. >> it's showing not only does it treat active disease but it looks like it may even prevent the shedding of the virus and transmission and spread so the study is very unique in the fact that it not only treats the patient but it shows it may reduce transmission as well. jed: a second topic that's important we're talking about today is with respect to the u.s. army corps of engineers and they are in a race against time, they are building temporary hospitals to try to ease the strain on medical centers and hospitals in the nation's hardest hit areas. i'm in new york city. talk about that as well and what the role will be of the u.s.

army corps of engineers and how they can assist in this difficult and challenging time for local hospitals. >> what you're seeing right now is we're starting to act against the data and what we know. in the beginning, we acted because of what if. and now we're acting on what is. so we have -- we're moving our strategic assets, our medical assets to areas that are hardest hit like new york city, like the hot zones. and what we're seeing from the data is that we don't have to use a broad brush stroke across the entire country but that we can be strategic with what we have and send it to the areas that are the hardest hit and we can also target the populations that are hardest hit using the data, not just the vanity data, number of positive tests but the actual people that are hospitalized. the actual people that are dying and see these secretaries of the population that are -- segments of the population that are at risk so these ships moving into the regions is a big force multiplier.

jed: we've seen efforts of social distancing, seeing so many things being implemented to try to flatten the curve and stop the spread. is there anything that you feel isn't being done at this point that could be done to make this situation even better for people who are scared right now? >> the thing that's not being done is targeting and speaking to the specific population at risk. we have four and-a-half months of data on this now from peer reviewed studies and we understand it affects the elderly. it also affects people with certain habits and co-morbid conditions. we see report after report about number of positive tests. i believe now that we have the data, we need to focus and target those folks with long smoking histories, copd, co-morbidities that would harm their lungs and so we can be more effective with that. we're not seeing that kind of education out there. we're just seeing positive tests, so it will help us target our resources. jed: thank you, doctor, we appreciate your perspective and for being here today.

coming up, americans feeling the impact of the coronavirus in their day-to-day lives, but it's also hurting the housing market. what should you do if you're looking to buy or sell? our next guest answers that after the break. heck, they'd come all the way out here just for a blurry photo of me. oh, that's a good one. wait, what's that? 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.

i say you can't buy a house that isn't for sale and last weekend the national association of realtors reported that half of the open houses had been shut down. so the social distancing, people's concerns about who is walking in and out of their house, right now it's completely chilling the supply of new homes that's hitting the market. griff: and this social distancing, self isolation, we've gone through times of unemployment, never like this. we now have record 3.3 million unemployed in the latest report. now you also have people's movement being restricted. is this a perfect storm to give us unfortunately record home sales tanking? >> yeah, and similar to the employment market, which just about five weeks ago looked like a completely different story, the housing market was doing really, really well and even off-season we were seeing a big spike in home sales. so it's quite possible that

we're going to see a bit of a drought for a while. it's obviously on the demand side, people's uncertainty about unemployment, their economic conditions and then the realities of logistical realities of not being able to sell houses. on the other hand, there could be demand drivers out there like people who live in denser, urban areas who are looking at what's going on right now and thinking about raising their family and thinking about getting out of urban areas and into the suburbs. the challenge is going to be if we can break away from the cycle of social distancing and get people out looking at houses again. griff: that day will come and looking on the backside of this pandemic which none of us know long it's going to last, if you are thinking about selling your home, do you think you should hold out hope that you should be able to sell is in a return to housing market. >> assuming there's light at the end of the tunnel on the economic downturn, the reality is there are people moving all

the time. and the best time to look for housing is during the off-season when schools are closed, so you can get your children into school for the new school year. one of the wrinkles there is, a lot of people like to check out the community and check out the neighborhood and they are going to have a hard time doing that. sellers who want to sell, i think we're going to see them putting their houses back on the market. it's going to be delayed probably a month or so but i think that's going to happen. griff: play the long game and hopefully we'll get back to better times. thank you very much, mitchell, for being here this morning. >> all right, griff. thanks for asking me. griff: coming up, the unsung here reece of the pandemic -- heroes of the pandemic, truck drivers working over time to get supplies to stores and hospitals. one of those drivers shares experiences with us coming up. ♪

for leenore brothers enterprise, i thiningrid brown, tell us whas like to be on the road. >> it's really very quiet. good morning, by the way. traffic has really, really gone down a lot. i've been running in the bronx, which is one of the largest produce markets in new york and across the country and it's -- we are all trying to figure this out together. the american -- it's amazing. a day-to-day run, it seems a little better because we don't have to drive for other drivers, but just for ourselves. delivery times have gotten a whole lot better. we still have some problems at some of the shippers, receivers, time delay, things like that. but it's real quiet. that's different. i've been out here 40 years and it's very quiet. i came across the gw bridge last

week at 8:00 in the morning and there was nothing in front of me. jed: i want to say thank you for everything that you're doing. i know truckers are delivering important medical supplies, food to so many people across the country. we're grateful you're out on the front lines so thank you first and foremost. in terms of the challenges you're facing, can you speak a little more to that? i know some truckers were saying they had a hard time finding places to sleep on the side of the road, that it's changed the dynamic of the work cycle. some have had to sign documents saying they're not sick. talk about the intricacies of that for us. >> we're finding we've had a lot of rest areas that have been closed down and we depend upon rest areas in every state for parking, safe parking. the other day i had to park on an exit ramp which is definitely very unsafe. we are under mandatory breaks even though we're under an

emergency declaration so we do have to take a 10 hour break after our run is through. we're running places like where a lot of parking lots and distribution centers, you can't park at so truck stops are full. if you're in a hot spot, a new year's day major distribution center. food is very, very difficult. a lot of people think it's easy to get a 75 to 80-foot tractor-trailer anywhere to get something to eat. now, a lot of places won't let us walk up to a drive-through window. we're having americans offer to take us through the drive-through in their cars or go get it for us. pete: ingrid, you guys are always the backbone of the u.s. supply chain. but never before have you been so critical to keeping that supply chain going to the lawmakers here in washington where i am, what do you need? what would you like them to know? how can they help you? obviously we have the big stimulus package but specifically with regard to you, do you need something?

>> you know, our hours of service binds us up quite a bit the way they're written. they're looking at the new policies that will be changed that will give us more freedom instead of us sitting at a dock with someone that makes us sit for eight hours or 10 hours to get loaded or unloaded. that's going to be a huge relief as well. of course, we can go down the road to some of the things that drivers have gone through. keeping us safe keeps you safe, keeps my grand babies safe. that's the biggest thing right thru. petethere. pete: how long did you say you've been doing this? >> 40 years. pete: i don't believe that for one second. tell me, what draws you to the open road to do this? >> i just have this in my heart. i grew up in a road construction company with my dad. when i got learning to run the equipment and trucks, i just say this is a way i can fill me

heart and i can help somebody else and i can meet people. it's the people across the country and the places i get to go and see because i get to go to the little towns, i get to go to meet people that in 40 years you would not believe some of the amazing people that you just bump into or you meet or families and it's a way to help everybody. but i just -- i don't have to truck. i love to truck. pete: i love it. absolutely. jed: ingrid, thank you again so much and it comes through that you love your job and that means so much to people across the country watching this right now and thank you for everything that you're delivering, so many of us are benefiting from that. we appreciate you more than you know. griff: thank you, ingrid. thank you. >> thank you. good morning. jed: we're going to head over now to jillian mele for headlines. jillian, how you doing over there. jillian: how wonderful is she? jed: amazing. jillian: let's get you caught up on headlines, starting with is the story. a doctor is arrested for allegedly coughing on his

people have to try to stay inside but they have to stay inside and be alert to stuff that's going on especially across areas of the midwest. show you what's going on, there's a lot of really warm air across parts of the south, and in towards the southeast. you can kind of see the dividing line here across areas to the south of chicago, that's where the bull's-eye of the warm air is, to the north and west of that is the cold air and today that is going to be this bull's-eye for some severe weather that's going to fire and it's going to start a little bit earlier, sometimes you see these things fire maybe 6:00, 7:00 at night. today this is all going to begin around midday. if you're anywhere across parts of eastern iowa, throughout north central illinois, that's the bull's-eye where i think we could be seeing looking for the chance of some large and long-lasting tornadoes. those are the ones that can be incredibly destructive. i want to go all the way across parts of the mid-mississippi river valley, that's another area we could see smaller tornadoes. anybody in the yellow needs to be watching for it.

where you see the orange and the red and those black lines going through there, that's where we could be looking at the threat for the really long-lasting and large really destructive tornadoes. all of this gets going at around noon. this is the future radar. you can see by around noon we get a couple storms firing across areas of illinois and then they really build for a couple of hours there across areas of illinois, down across arkansas and the threat of eventually of another batch moving through with colder air that finally comes in. so even towards midnight around the chicago area we've got big storms coming on in. so a dangerous day for folks to stay inside and be really alert to what weather is going on. if you need to get inside to your lowest location in your home, the most inner area of your home, a storm cellar or basement if you have that. pete: i always wanted to be in your kitchen and now we are or

you've got kids so you really need advice. pete: i do. this is really for me. >> the main thing is we have to make certain we give them information based on their current level of understanding and what they're capable of comprehending. we can't talk about this with 5-year-old the same way we're going to talk about this with a 15 yold. 11515-year-old. we have to make them understand what they feel is okay. it's a scary time for kids right now. they're seeing schools closed, no food on the shelves, people are dying. it's our job as parents to make certain we're the front line defense they're getting good information. pete: explain how facts can help inform their feelings, you say short and honest answers. at what point do you get totally honest? because i sometimes default to the cocoon of they don't need to know that right now. when are you honest versus sort of shielding them from it. >> you're a military guy like myself. information is on need to know

basis. for our kids, i believe it's a matter of what questions are they asking, let's answer those questions but let's stop once we answer the questions and see if it brings up more questions for them and not try to explain quantum physics to them if that's not what they need to know. it's addressing what they're feeling, making certain they feel like these emotions are real, mom and dad understand my emotions, we're going to address them but we're also preparing them for later in life when they deal with difficult situations and how to handle it because we're going to deal with difficult stuff. pete: their follow-up questions will tell you a lot about what they may need to know. >> don't open up the can if you don't need to. if they ask a question about a, don't get into b, c, and d. if they ask a follow-up, we have to be honest with them. we have that trust built with the kids, they look to us for advice. we can't freak out, appear to be totally running around crazy. they're looking to us for guidance. pete: this is a teaching moment

131,000 plus recovering at this time. jedediah: the death rate is 1.6% that's compared to china at 4% and italy at more than 10%. the u.s. army corps of engineers in a race against time to build temporary hospitals in new york the nation's current hot spot. governor andrew cuomo adding four more sites adding to four other hospitals set to open. griff: the president heads to norfolk virginia as it sends us comfort to give relief in the outbreak epicenter. signing the largest stimulus bill in u.s. history. the house overwhelming packaging the $2 trillion package. good morning to you. i'm in washington where that was signed making history. jed and pete up in new york but separated with social distancing. pete: yes, sir, we are. jedediah: pete is on our typical couch and i'm upstairs in a pod

on the second floor. we definite have an elevator and a whole bunch of space. pete: jed, in my opinion, too much distance between us. 6 feet is required. further than that -- griff, i have got to ask you though, griff, you are in washington. there was a lot of contention around this bill, some house members holding out, the price tag went up. what is the feeling right now in washington about what has been passed and signed and the impact that will ultimately come from it? griff: pete, i have talked to a handful of members in the last 24 hours. they ultimately believe that while they were pushed in one republican thomasy a strict constitutionalist felt he had to abide by article 1 section 56 the constitution says the congress has to have a quorum to do its business. also put as most of the members of congress felt, put their health in danger but, yet, there is a relief now this morning that in 48 hours span of time you are able to have both the

senate and the house come together on this unprecedented bill that will not only put $1,200 check for individuals, 2400 for couples, upward of 3400 for a couple of 4. plus 400 billion small businesses and unprecedented 500 billion that will bail out, if you will, through the fed with a corporate liquidity plan. the industries that employ so many of the people without jobs and trying to figure out exactly what they are doing. here is president trump thanking congress for what they did. >> i want to thank republicans. i want to thank democrats for coming together for the whole of the nation. this is going to save companies that are incredible companies. that are going to need some help because of what happened. a month ago -- pete: jed, i want to ask you. listen, we are of like mind when

it comes to fiscal conservatism. very much a libertarian. what do you say to this amount of spending. obviously a crisis needed to happen now. how do you react to washington with this bill? jedediah: i mean, first of all, good to see republican us and democrats getting along for once. it's always refreshing, but, yeah, it's a big number no. question. $2 trillion is a big number. but you have to look at the circumstances at hand. this is a crisis. you see -- i live in no. you knownew yorkcity. you see larger businesses that employ so many people being forced to shut down to have people to work from home to lay off workers. this is a crisis mode. so if there is ever a time where you have to say you know what maybe there are a few things in this bill that didn't need to be there, but the overall measures are going to really help the general population get through this crisis. this is a time where i feel like you have to hunker down and you have got to do it. people are in dire straits and really requiring washington for one do its job. pete: really right. jedediah: nice to see their job.

pete: best of all words. best we come together. the worst is there are still some people who use a crisis bill to push pork and nonsense because they know it will pass because they know everyone has to vote for it. jedediah: right. pete: that's the worst of washington. we get a little of that for the most part we get the goodness of a reaction, griff. jedediah: yeah. griff: president trump led this effort but congressional members like minority leader kevin mccarthy in the house realized he has to come together with the democrats and for what pelosi wanted. she wanted 35 million for the contend center here in washington. she got 25 instead. but it was necessary because of the magnitude ever this crisis we're in now. here is minority leader kevin mccarthy. >> 3 continu 3.2 million americans applied for unemployment. larger than the great depression and larger than the financial crisis. with this legislation it keeps people employed.

griff: six times. six times the great depression. unbelievable. this conversation, pete, jed, could return if you start hearing about a covid 4. for now you see the numbers there the corporations we mentioned about. the state and local governments getting 150 billion. 130 billion for hospitals. they can't get it fast enough. and 15.5 billion for food stamps. and the checks, of course, we have talked to. those checks arriving by way of direct deposit in americans bank accounts from coast to coast in about three weeks times. jedediah: once again people critical of that money going to large corporations. just remember corporations employ people. corporations, that trickles down into society where then you have people that are then able to put food on the table for themselves, for their families and for their children as a result of those corporations getting that money infuelsed into the system. they are taking care of small businesses. you have to look at companies across the board. i have so many friends who are small business owners that are hurting right now that are looking for relief that i was just grateful to see that

businesses were being prioritized in this and someone is making it both republicans and democrat making them a priority today. pete: we talked to congressman and colonel representative michael waltz earlier on why he voted for this bill. here's what he said to us. >> it was tough but it was the right thing to do. i could tell you the businesses in florida, particularly in hospitality, in tourism, the bottom is falling out. they need this lifeline. what i like and what i ended up voting for it is what it is doing for small businesses. look, everything we are doing on the public health front is causing collateral damage over on the economic front. and we have to help those folks out. pete: that was colonel waltz earlier on the program. dr. saphier, good morning, thank you very much for being here with us. >> good morning, guys. pete: planning next phase against this war against the coronavirus. new guidelines rolled out next week as hot spots emerge.

high risk, low risk. what do you make of where we are right now at this moment? >> well, you know, i think it's interesting, there is no way at this point to separate the medical side from the political side because as griff just mentioned that the economic fall-out is very much tied to the public health aspect to it. so i really appreciate that both sides are looking at it and dealt with at the same time. you know, i would say that there has been a lot of the encouraging evidence coming out showing that the mortality -- not the mortality rate but the case fatality rate in the united states is the lowest of any other country that has more than 9,000 cases. jedediah mentioned earlier that it's 1.55% right now. about 1.6%. whereas in italy it's over 10% and china it's about 4%. and that tells us a lot of things. that tells us, one, it confirms that we do have a very strong healthcare system here in the united states. >> some of the most highly trained doctors and nurses. it also tells us that we have really increased our testing efforts. what have we been staying all along the more testing we do the

lower that testing fatality rate is going to go. i believe when this is all said and done the test mortality rate from covid-19 will hover at 1% if not lower than that the united states is actually starting to show what the true case fatality rate is instead of what these other numbers thrown out by the world health organization or even china had been saying. pete: i don't want to get into the blame game, but was china just fully misrepresenting, under reporting because they didn't test and now because we are transparent and honest we are seeing the real number? where do we point that finger on blame? >> well, let me tell you, pete, of course i'm always going to trust something that comes out of the united states research and government far more than i would ever trust anything that comes out of china. i do believe in the beginning there was underreporting. i also think that, you know, some of the information that came out of china was either misleading or deceitful. and i'm not even going to say which side of that it's on. however, i can say that china is

coming back now reporting saying that the case fatality rate in wuhan was actually closer to, i believe 1.4%. so, as i said early on those numbers that were released. they were way too high. they may have just been based on the data that was available at the time. however, the real numbers are hovering closer to 1%. which is exactly what we have predicted it would be all along. again, we won't know the true case fatality until early next year or end of this year until we get a really good number. i'm confident these numbers are all heugsd in the right direction. do i like what president trump is saying recently. he is trying to say that we are a very diverse nation and look at this not even state by state basis. we need to look at county by county and municipality basis. that's what his letters to the governor says. for the low, medium and high category he will stratify risk and mitigating community spread that way. we can't just close down all of america indefinitely. we need to be looking at this at

a more focal areas so we can keep people safe. but, tr-rpbl we have to make sure we are limiting the amount of travel in between because what are we seeing in new york right now? everyone has gone to the hamptons, everyone has gone down to florida. if you keep florida open but you close new york that's not going to work so everyone is going to tra*fplt obviously i know he is taking this into account. i do believe he is going to take the appropriate measures. jedediah: yeah, doctor. obviously some new things coming out today potential tests give you results as early as 5 minutes. we will wait and hold and see what the accuracy of that will be. but, some good news. and i think you are right. i think this has to be approached on a city-by-city. state-by-state basis. we are a conversation country different issues and different populations and affected in different ways. have to be incremental and area specific. so i think that's a great point. >> and jedediah, what we were talking about that test produced

by abbott is something to look for actually the rna virus that can do it in within a couple minutes. already been approved for emergency use. i think we will start seeing that this week. this will be critical for people coming into the emergency department for our front line workers to identify those who may be exposed who may be infected and get them isolated. griff: all right, dr. saphier, thank you very much. you know what dr. saphier was talking about guys, is the data unlike china we have real data. we put it out there and do you know who always gives us the facts and correct data jillian mele. go over to her and see if she has more stories. jillian: griff, i'm lying in this morning. thank you. good morning to you. pete, jedediah and griff, and to you at home as well. brown passed away at her home after being hospitalized on thursday. roll call office in the bronx. a custodian for the department died from covid-19 earlier this week. 512 nypd members have tested

prone to pre-existing conditions? what do you say to them? >> absolutely. we have all been there and felt invincible. my message is truly we are doing this not only to protect ourselves. there is data saying there is about 20% of people between the ages of 22 to 40 ending up in the emergency rooms on ventilators due to coronavirus. but, the other message is truly our parents, our grandparents, those are the ones that we really need to be protecting. and our friends that do have autoimmune issues and other sorts of problems, you know, we might not even know about yet. we are doing this to protect the people that may not be able to survive. this and how is to say that you won't be that 1% that isn't able to make it through this. so what we really have to do is all come together and do our support and the faster we do that the faster we can get back to some kind of normal.

pete: valerie are you seeing most young people take it seriously? has it changed? >> i am seeing a shift. tie believe most people are taking it seriously. my questionmy guess is 85% are g the right thing. and then still 15% of the people out there. yesterday, i'm cleared, so i went to go run a couple errands just in my car like getting gas and things like that. i couldn't believe the amount of young people that were out. it waouti was a little bit disappointed. some people are living like it's normal right now. those people really need to go home. pete: you certainly can't live as normal but have you got to follow the protocols. you are exactly right. thank you so much for your time. valerie joy wilson thank you. >> thank you. pete: president trump signing historic for than 2 trillion-dollar stimulus bill that includes a direct payment to americans. how much can you expect to get and when. kurt the cyberguy is here with the tools to help you crunch the

information provided by the cdc. this is an effort from actually the white house. apple reached out to the white house and asked them how can would he be of help? apple has made this what they say is their highest priority is providing not only the siri guidance but now just as of hours ago they launched a free app. called covid-19. and you will find it at the app. store for any of the apple products have you, ios products. and inside of that, it takes through step-by-step guidance to give yourself a screening. so it will guide you what kind of symptoms are you feeling? it will offer you guidance such as whether you should call your medical provider or call 911 in matter of fact if you have extreme symptoms inside of that apple says they are going to continue to update this app. because i asked a question, you know, it makes sense it would evolve to is this going to be eventually the app. we are talking about where we would be able to find out how to find a test near my house and if i qualify to get one.

and so we are not talking about any of that stuff, but it is evolving. so, kudos to the white house. kudos to apple. kudos to the cdc for pulling that together. jedediah: quickly before we move to something else. is it user friendly? i'm the least tech savvy person on the planet. >> you like to say that jedediah, i know better. it is actually super easy to use. you really anybody could do this. it doesn't matter your age. super easy. just download it. follow the guidance and in terms of privacy nothing you are provided is going to go to apple or going to go to the government. so you are good to that one. you and i have our eye on privacy. you know about the stimulus package. did you know there is a calculator online. jedediah, free to do. stimulus calculator. i put it up at cyberguy.com. a link to it because there is a long address from a couple of mathematicians out of u.k. you enter in essentially what you earned last year, whether

you do or don't have kids, whether you are single or married. and it's going to formulated how much you should receive, you know, the maximum now is $100 for a single person. 2400 for a married couple. i think i have that right. and $500 per child. now that gets reduced if you make a lot of money. so put in those figures. you will find out how much you are going to get and three weeks we are supposed to see that through the online bank that you electronically pay your taxes with. if you haven't done that in the past. then the irs is going to -- the department of treasury is going to mail you a check rather than send it electronically. jedediah: pretty good stuff. i'm not a huge fan of the technology. every now and then they put something out and i have got to say it's pretty good. these aren't bad today. >> these are good tools for you this morning. jedediah: thank you so much for being here as always. appreciate it. still ahead, president trump ache investigates 1 million members of the reserves in the

has to could do with our healthcare system here that is so robust and honesty and transparency with which we actually test and report those numbers which, of course, the communist chinese never do. jedediah: today president trump is heading to virginia to watch the usns comfort will ship head to new york. coming a day after he signed the largest stimulus bill in u.s. history giving financial relief to american families. pete: that's right. let's bring in at this point representative adam kinzinger from illinois. he voted on that bill. representative, thank you very much. also a member of the international guard. house foreign affairs committee. iraq war vet. listen, you are on all sides of this. this bill, which was signed by the president. what will it do? >> well, nobody likes, you know, spending $2 trillion we are not paying for. obviously as we have talked about, this is a unique time

where we have to do this. so it's going to give some certainty to families. it's not going to be, you know, it's not going to be a windfall but it will be something to maybe help pay that rent or buy food. it extends unemployment for people that run employed by no fault of their own. not people who just don't want to work or something. somebody who is found in this problem. it's great for healthcare. it gives a lifeline. especially to rural hospitals that need this help that really have been hit hard in the last 10 years and face the potential of being overwhelmed as well as a lot of investment and finding a cure for this and preparing for future pandemic he is. jedediah: representative, another big news item today is that the president is headed to norfolk to send off the usnf comfort hospital ship. what do you make of his visit there and what do you make of the next steps that this hospital will pay a key role in the healing of this country

th-frbgts icountry thisis an awe have treating refugees in colombia that needed help. amazing hospital ships. in fact, most cases helping people that we're friends with and we want to make a point with we want to help out. to come help americans is pretty ironic and awesome to be able to be there to quick turn the maintenance as pete will tell you doing maintenance on a big ship like that is not an easy process it. will be pretty awesome it. will take some of the pressure off the hospitals in new york and elsewhere so they can treat the actual covid-19 victims while this can take some of the other people in a bad situation. we have some amazing assets in this country and that's one of them. griff: congressman, it's got 12 operating rooms, raid on, a full cat scan. they can really do anything any hospital in america can do. i want to ask you though, even beyond just the deployment of these two hospital navy ships, the president is calling up armed forces reserves to join in

the fight take a listen to this and i want your reaction. >> this will allow to us emergency response american nell to help wage our battle against the virus by activating thousands of experienced service members, including retirees. we have a lot of people retirees, great, great military people. they are coming back in have offered to support the nation in this extraordinary time of need. griff: congressman, your thoughts. >> look, this is the reserve and especially the national guard in this time is extremely important. i actually wish the president would call up more of the national guard because, for instance, the rc 26, the guard still wants to try to push it out. it's an amazing asset for countering drugs also finding areas of pandemic and where help is need. and, you know, that's the kind of asset that needs activated at this moment. that's what i love about the national guard is u.s.s.

congressman and people doctors on the civilian side in it or airline pilots. it's an amazing american thing that we have these citizen soldiers. pete: very much. so the minute man, the citizen soldier as you said. certainly a signature of this country. i have got to ask you though you have been pushing this, the usda is halting some stkerls from making hand san terrorist. >> with hissy acres in dekalb, illinois is one of these heroic companies stkerls who said -- t. this four days ago the fda said you have to put a denaturing makes it taste bitter so it's not -- so nobody drinks it. they will can't find denaturing chemicals and basically two nights ago they said you cannot make hand sanitizer without this denaturing chem. they need 5 gallons of it the

only way they can buy it is by a truck load. they cannot make sthaoeurg. hand sanitizer. my guess it gets handled this weekend. somebody at the fda means well destroying heros that want to make hand sanitizer for folks in this time. jedediah: important we reached out to the fda for a statement we have not heard back yet. i will be curious to see if this gets resolved and how quickly. pete: folks meaning well but lacking common sense in a moment like this. >> amen. pete: congressman, thank you so much. >> you bet, guys. be healthy. pete: i'm going to toss over right now that way to this one right here with a lot of common sense, jillian. jillian: who is definitely farther than 6 feet. social distancing. one state is enforcing 2 week quarantine on new yorkers. today the national guard is going door to door in rhode island looking for new yorkers who are visiting the state putting them in quarantine. the governor calling the measure

extreme but necessary. meanwhile, state police are pulling over cars with new york license plates informing drivers of the quarantine. new york city is the coronavirus epicenter of the u.s. you now have more time to get a real i.d. card. homeland security delaying the deadline october 2021 to avoid overcrowding dmv branches amid the coronavirus outbreak. that's a year later atlanta original deadline. board some domestic flights if you don't have a passport or global entry card. the real id has a symbol near the upper right hand corner. eye doctors are suggesting to put away your contact lenses for now and switch back to wearing your glasses. why? they say to help reduce the spread of coronavirus. people tend to tufrpl their eyes a lot when they are wearing contact lenses. obviously have you got to put them in and take them out. glasses could shield your eyes have respiratory droplets. very interesting.

folks on the ground. again, a credit to the state department, those men and women serving our country overseas. taking care of americans. taking care of montanans they arrived back last night. joy ujoyous reunions. brought back a young man from morocco. his father reached out to from us dylann, montana. we brought isaac back and great stories. but a great credit to my staff and to those working around the world for the u.s. state department. griff: we are just out of time. i wanted to hit a quick topic though. there is more work to be done. that is your effort. a bill that the vice president has mentioned publicly to bring drugs to market that can possibly treat, showing promise in combating covid-19. where are we with that? >> well, there is great optimism. we have some amazing drugs. i call them miracle drugs that we are working as quickly as possible to bring those drugs to market and get them in the hands

president trump: no effort will be spared in winning this war. we're going to win the war. hopefully we're going to win soon and with as few lives as possible lost. pete: that was the president yesterday at the white house, and we begin this hour with a fox news alert. president trump stepping up his fight against covid-19, as nationwide cases do surpass 100,000 total. the u.s. is the first country to hit that number. more than 1,700 people have died jedediah: the jobs hopkins outbreak map showing more than 600,000 cases and 28,000 deaths worldwide. griff: much needed relief now on the way after president trump signed a historic $2 trillion relief package. president trump: this will

deliver urgently-needed relief to our nations families, workers and businesses and that's what this is all about. griff: the house overwhelmingly passing that relief package good morning i griff jenkins in washington with jedediah and pete up in new york but separated by more than six feet. pete: yeah. jedediah: different floors for a change. i'm getting used to this pete hegseth. pete: i can't. i like social proximity so we'll deal with it while we can. griff you're in d.c. talking about this bill, how immediately will people see the impact of this , griff? griff: well the americans are receiving at least $1,200 or 2,400 per couple should get either a direct deposit or a check within about three weeks according to secretary mnuchin. we'll find out but it is certainly going to be the small businesses coast-to-coast in every corner of the great country breathing a sigh of relief because they were beyond the point of making really tough decisions.

pete: absolutely. jedediah: i've had friends throughout the country calling me and saying who owns small businesses so concerned, crying themselves to sleep at night saying i don't know if i'm able to stay open and pay my employee s do i have to lay people off so this is something that not only helps the big corporations who do staff a lot of people who don't have to worry about keeping their jobs but also small businesses breathing a sigh of relief so i was grateful to see democrats come together on this issue. pete: let's hope it works absolutely. today president trump is heading to virginia to watch navy hospital ship the usns comfort set sail to this city, new york city. jedediah: the president's virginia visit coming a day after he signed a historic $2 trillion relief bill. griff: garrett tenney is live with how the u.s. is tackling the pandemic. good morning, garrett. >> reporter: good morning, as you mentioned president trump heading down to norfolk later today as the usns comfort sets

sail for new york city to help relieve the healthcare workers and stress they have been under in the city which is the hardest hit in the country. here is what the acting secretary of the navy had to say about that earlier on fox & friends. >> they have been used all over the world to assist individuals in disaster situations and they've become the symbol of the united states, our compassion and also our capability to respond quickly to crisis, this will really be the first time they've been used in the united states. >> reporter: help is now on the way for the rest of the country as well after president trump signed a nearly or man $2 trillion relief bill, as some of the highlights of this legislative package are that it sends checks to most americans, boosts unemployment aid and helps out small businesses and corporations with loans to help them weather the storm. at the white house, president trump praised congress for working together to get this done. president trump: i want to thank

republicans. i want to thank democrats for coming together for the whole of the nation. this is going to save companies that are incredible companies but that are going to need some help because of what happened. >> reporter: the bill passed by a voice vote despite concerns from gop congressman thomas massey with the cost of it being half the size of the entire federal budget and the most expensive stimulus package in u.s. history but house minneapolis leader kevin mccarthy defended that effort last night on hannity. >> 3.2 million americans applied for unemployment. that is larger than the great depression. it's six times larger than the financial crisis, but with this piece of legislation, it keeps people employed. >> reporter: on friday, two more lawmakers announced they have tested positive for the coronavirus. south carolina joe cunningham and pennsylvania's mike kelly bringing the total number of infected lawmakers to five, in

addition to the more than two dozen now self-quarantining as they await test results. back to you all. griff: thanks, garrett. pete: garrett thank you very much. we had one of the members of congress on the program earlier, adam kinsinger, also an iraq war veteran and talked about the importance of the bill. here is what he had to say. >> it's going to give certainty to families they know there's some money coming in, it's not going to be, you know, a wind fall, but something to maybe help pay that rent or buy food and it extends unemployment for people that are unemployed by no fault of their own, not people who just don't want to work or somebody who is found in this problem. nobody likes spending $2 trillion we're not paying for but obviously as we've talked about this is a unique time where we have to do this. pete: sure is. jedediah: and that's the thing you hear, $2 trillion and yes it's a very big number but i live in new york city i've truly never seen anything like this. i've lived through very hard times in the city and never seen

anything like what we're seeing right now so these kind of times call for different kinds of measures and $2 trillion is part of that right now. griff: that's right, jedediah we've never seen anything like this in fact let's bring in dr. mark siegel our fox news medical contributor because dr. siegel we're just now seeing latest numbers and in those numbers, a specific trend that says we're headed in the wrong direction that is the daily death rate for the first time since this began has now increased by more than 300. it is the sixth straight day since we've had an increasing number of daily deaths. >> that's true, griff:, and we have over 100,000 cases, well over 100,000 cases here in the united states and in new york alone, over 45,000, and that's about half, almost half of the cases in the country. new york city being still the primary hotspot, we're all very happy to hear that the u.s. navy ship comfort is on the way here because the hospitals are overloaded

here in new york and that's the healthcare workers are struggling to stabilize patients and to keep them going but it's not always something that can be accomplished. we need the navy ship comfort to be able to triage patients would don't have covid-19 so that we can establish secure wards where precautions can be taken across-the-board, so this is a very important development and we're developing also makeshift hospitals in areas where people can be taken but the question still remains can we identify this and we've had a real lag in testing again over the last day or two especially in new york, so i'm actually very happy to hear that abbott is reducing, is releasing a point of care test now that we can talk about that's an incredible game changer. pete: doctor, go ahead. jedediah: i was just going to say, what do you make of the new guidelines that may be coming out? there's been lots of talk about different approaches to different areas of the country

that are facing this very very differently and have different populations and whatnot, so what do you think is going to get said about that next week? >> well i'm hoping that doesn't become another political football, because i like it, if you consider that 19 states in the country are not as hard hit or just have a few cases, versus the hotspots. i think we have to focus on the hotspots and there's going to be more of them besides new york and seattle. we're going to see more cases in la and boston and chicago and atlanta and new orleans and miami. those are going to be hotspots i think and we need to focus on them but this abbott test which actually you can test 50,000 people a day with this , it's a tiny device that can be in all the clinic, all the hospitals and doctors offices it takes literally 5-13 minutes that's why i call it point of care. i can take a nasal swab, put it in, know if you have it, know if you don't have it and if you have it then i immediately self-

quarantine you and anyone you're connected to. the problem has been we don't know who has it so it spreads throughout communities and we can't control it, so the more point of care testing we have, where i as a physician can say you have it, you don't have it, i don't have to wait days that will help with the presidents new guidelines which is to say let's focus in on the areas hardest hit. i think he has the economy in mind here too because if he releases the restrictions a little bit on areas that are not as hard hit those businesses can start to recover, but remember, we still want the social distancing, we still want the hand washing. this new normal is actually very good to decrease the spread of respiratory viruses in general. i think it's a good thing. pete: doctor, you mentioned the president and his guidelines here he is on that. president trump: the administration is actively planning the next phase in an all out war against this horrible virus. we're now testing nearly 100,000 patients per day more than

anybody in the world, and new york is just coming into this really heated situation, we're building a lot of things in new york right now that nobody thought would ever be built but we are talking about possibly other parts of the country which really aren't affected to any major degree or maybe we won't do that because maybe at the advice of a lot of very talented people that do this for a living they won't want to do that and expose anything. they want to do do it all at one-time. these are the kind of things we'll be talking about. pete: so doctor he's looking to give latitude to local jurisdictions which is one part but i want to step back for a moment when you look at the mortality rate that we're seeing in the united states close to 1% very different than china and italy what does that say about the robustness of our healthcare system and also the false data we saw from the communist chinese for so long. what are we learning now about this virus and its the mortality that we can apply to how we make decisions going forward in the next couple of weeks? >> that's a really excellent

point, pete. here in the united states we have the ability to do as we're talking about today, early identification, triage, whose most sick, whose most at risk, how do we take care of them? hour healthcare workers aren't getting enough credit for that, we have heros involved in this and we have a great healthcare system here. they are overwhelmed which is why we've been talking about more personal protective equipment but at the end of the day, we have the ability to take care of sick people here and get them to recover and with these new lab tests we're going to be able to prove they recovered we can also test for immunity. we're not ever going to see the figures that we saw in china but we need to jump on this as the president was saying we need to focus in on the hotspots, a lot of aid is coming to new york, new york being the biggest hotspot right now. we need to look on the horizon for other ones and select them and focus on them. yes, state and local jurisdiction but with federal oversight and intervention by fema and hhs. we can do it here in the united states.

we can do it. we're proud of our health care system and we will beat this virus. pete: got it. dr. mark siegel thank you so much for your expertise we appreciate it. >> thank you, guys. pete: thank you. all right, now we'll hand it over to jillian with headlines for us. jillian: that's right good morning, four people are dead, more than 100 are sick on a cruise ship off panama's coast. two passengers testing positive for the coronavirus on the holland america ship. the rest complaining of flu-like symptoms and the ship didn't have coronavirus testing kits until thursday and those feeling sick are staying sick for medical treatment and more than 1,200 people were on board including hundreds of americans. >> lady gaga's father is asking for donations to help pay his furloughed workers. he had to lay off 30 employees at his new york city restaurant during this coronavirus outbreak , and in a tweet he says , i'm doing the best i can, but we had to close for the month. our staff needs some help financially. any help for our employees will

sense that we're going to continue on with business and some things, i mean, they were in a sense denied by no one's fault just the way things worked out things like graduation or spring break that they might have anticipated their senior year. we didn't want them to just simply walk away and have no memories, and so the chancellor plowman in cooperation with the rest of the university we're going to be doing this campaign of having people drop in and since peyton is a true volunteer he was an obvious first good choice. jedediah: students reacted so amazingly. let's just take a look at how they react and then we'll talk about it. >> i didn't even put on makeup this morning! my god! >> that was awesome. >> uh-huh. jedediah: i mean, so that's pretty cool and you made an interesting point before which is that when i think back on my senior year, i think of so many joint activities with other students, so many commencement exercises that they're not going to be able to do so this was a

really important uplifting moment for those students. >> it really was, because we want them to leave with the memory of something that's going to be positive and going forward, what one of the things they are going to do is run into situations in life where they have some challenges and you need to just like peyton suggested to them during the course of the class session, go ahead and move forward and be supportive of each other and find other ways to help each other out. jedediah: just quickly, what kind of student was peyton manning? >> when peyton was in school, i know oftentimes people think well student athlete but the semester he graduated he had the highest gpa in the department. he was an outstanding student and would get the class on time, he sat in the front row, he was consistently prepared for class, i never had any problems with him. i had in in a couple different classes and as his academic advisor. jedediah: i'm extremely jealous i hear birds chirping in the background and i don't hear those a lot in new york city so thanks for being here.

pete: as the covid-19 pandemic leaves thousands of americans stranded abroad, and thousands more in the medical community with a supply shortage, the men and women of the u.s. air mobility command have sprung into action. since the start of the crisis the air force unit has transport ed nearly 2 million covid-19 testing swabs to the u.s. and help repatriate nearly 200 americans. johning us now deputy commander, general thomas. sir thank you so much for joining us this morning so

what is your biggest priority right now you got testing kits that need to make it to certain places, we're still hearing stories of americans abroad who want to come home what's your focus? >> well, the dod's priorities really got three big focuses, and they are protecting the poorest so we've got to make sure that our airmen and all of the soldiers, sailors, and marines are ready and capable and they got to be healthy to do that. we got to maintain our missions, still defend the nation, go in and everybody think they can take advantage of us and then help where we can and so you've given great examples where air mobility command has been able to roll in, move things from overseas back to help our citizens here in the united states. we're doing other things in support of fema in coordination with u.s. north com, so there's a lot going on as we work to support the nation. pete: lt. general you mentioned a couple of interesting things and it's true having been in the military. if you don't preserve your own force and stay vigilant against external threats that might try to take advantage of something

like this you're off your mission so i take that's but what countries in particular, what places are you helping to facility bringing americans back as part of your mission? >> so the most recent examples of that where we had u.s. military aircraft bring americans home have been down in central america. we brought you mentioned over 200 citizens back from honduras and several other locations. what's interesting there is that is a combined effort with the state department. they got the leave from that mission but when they are unable to contract enough aircraft they pass over todod, we help a lot with that. in the indicates of the ones we've moved so far they have been opportune chances where we had military aircraft at the right place at the right time. most of the time we try to do with contract commercial lift that's what state department does but when we need to we can't get there with contract lift. we'll do it with great tail lift from the air mobility command. pete: you got the planes, exit question here, general. when it comes to testing kits, how are you determining where they go and how many?

>> so our job is to get them from the point of pickup in the case of the testing swabs you mentioned, we brought those over from italy and brought them into memphis, tennessee and then distributed from there at the direction of h hs and fema, as required to the places where they are most needed inside the united states. pete: got it lt. general thank you so much for your time and we appreciate your service to our country and what you're doing right now with all the fine folks. appreciate it. >> glad to be here. pete: coming up new cases of covid-19 surging in louisiana and new orleans could the state become the next epicenter of the pandemic. we'll ask congressman steve scalise whose from there about that as well as the massive stimulus bill coming up next. 300 miles an hour, thats where i feel normal. having an annuity tells me my retirement is protected. protected lifetime income from an annuity can help your retirement plan ride out turbulent times. learn more at protectedincome.org.

president trump: i want to thank republicans, i want to thank democrats for coming together for the whole of the nation and this is a great thing, a great victory, this is going to save companies that are in dreadable companies but that are going to need some help because of what happened. griff: president trump praising bipartisan efforts to cop bat the coronavirus and get help to the american people. jedediah: house republicans and democrats work together to pass a $2 trillion relief bill. pete: here to react is house minority whip and louisiana congressman steve scalise. congressman thank you so much for being here this morning appreciate it. >> good morning good to be with you. pete: absolutely great to have you. give us the top line on this ,

you know, we needed something and we needed it quick. it's a big price tag, what are we getting and do you have any reservations? >> well, when you have a problem like we have with the economy really being shut down in most sectors for over a week now, you saw great companies that were literally hanging on by a thread this bill was designed to help families and businesses so that we can have an economy to come back to when we get through this there's also a lot in there to help hospitals that are struggling too so if you look at the bill, any large bill like this , and probably the largest relief package in the history of the company of $2.2 trillion but clearly a massive response to all of the massive things we're seeing layoffs, companies that are trying to figure out if they are going to be able to make it through this , this bill will really give them that ability to get loans that can be forgiven to keep that payroll so that you don't see millions more unemployed like you saw just last week 3 million people that

were added to the unemployment roles, you can't see an economy sustain itself like that, and this bill is designed to help those families, to help those companies stay afloat through all of this. jedediah: congressman i want to ask you about louisiana because it's now emerging as the next possible epicenter of the virus cases is climbed 30% in just 24 hours, so what do you make of that right now just to take a look at louisiana, 2,746 cases, 119 deaths so what do you make of the news and what are you hoping for in terms of the approach of people in leadership positions in that state? >> you know in the last week, we saw new orleans pop-up to be one of the top hotspots next with new york, and you know, we've seen a number of additional cases going into the hospitals. we were able to work with the administration about a week and a half ago, to get an extra 7,500 tests per kits and setup a new pod site, a pilot program in new orleans setup in a few other cities in hotspots so you can test more people of course that means there's more positives but

there is an increased number of cases and an increased number of deaths. there's a nursing home facility in my district where we've already lost 11 people that have died and more positive in that facility. we've got cdc that sent an expert down just the other day. i've been working closely with our governor, with our mayor and local officials to make sure that we can get everything we can from the federal government to recognize the increased hotspot in new orleans. griff: congressman you're preparing there in louisiana and particularly new orleans like never before. you know, the death rate though specifically in new orleans accounts for more than 50% of those roughly one out of every 10,000 new orleans resident has died of coronavirus right now. you have perhaps a crisis, the likes of which we haven't seen outside of new york. are you worried you've got what you need? >> well, any time you see that number and like i said, 11 deaths at one facility is heartbreaking. it's alarming, but you see

everybody coming together, federal, state and local to do everything they can. clearly like all of the other places in this country, where they're seeing outbreak, you know, we still don't have a cure they are trying a lot of different new therapies, some that are proven for other things like malaria but there's no one silver bullet for coronavirus, so we're going to continue working. i've been working with our local hospitals in new orleans, and they're doing heroic work. you all have pointed that out too. they are on the frontlines but still going and helping patients and setting up testing clinics at remote locations, so that people can go there instead of the hospital to be tested and then if they have severe problems obviously you want the hospitals now reserved for those people that have the most serious illnesses. pete: absolutely. congressman steve scalise, thank you so much for your time and we will certainly be paying a lot of attention to your backyard as we should. god bless. >> thank you, god bless. pete: you got it now for some additional headlines she's right here, according to me, but right

here, according to the screen. jedediah: far enough away according to -- pete: too far. jedediah: what we are advised to do. good morning, guys let's talk about hillary clinton for a second because she's blasted for using one of president trump 's campaign slogans to criticize his crisis response. clinton tweeting, he did promise "america first" with a link to an article titled the u.s. now leads the world in confirmed coronavirus cases. several critics firing back including congressman dan crenshaw tweeting "delete your account this isn't the time this can't be the new normal where american tragedy is applauded for the sake of our political opportunism. " >> president trump is order erring general motors to start making ventilators for the hospital. gm was wasting time and the auto maker now dedicating a second facility to building ventilators , hoping to ship the equipment by mid-april. the president has put trade advisor peter navarro in charge of enforcing the defense

production act. >> as you know, truck drivers now becoming some of the nation 's unsunk heros in this time of crisis. one of them,ingrid brown says she's one of the millions of truck drivers who deliver food and supplies to coronavirus hotspots like here in new york city. she joined us earlier to explain some of the challenges while on the road. listen to this. >> a lot of people think it's easy to get a 75-80-foot tractor trailer into anywhere to get something to eat. well now, a lot of places won't let us walk up to a drive-thru window. we're having americans offer to take us through the drive-thru in their cars, or go get it for us. jillian: she has been driving produce from florida to new york city during the pandemic. we wish her and everyone else out there doing this amazing work a big thank you. that's for sure and then there's this story. a teenager gets an amazing surprise at the drive-thru and we're not talking about extra fr

ies. >> hi, indicate rib. >> hi. >> so i got you on camera because i want to announce something to you today. >> okay. >> you are the 2020 class valedictorian. >> i am? >> oh, my gosh, thank you! >> you are! >> the principal says she just couldn't wait to tell kaitlyn, her michigan high school is closed until at least mid-april because of covid-19. congratulations, kaitlyn. certainly deserve that. guys? pete: well yeah, clearly a hard worker. here we are, plenty of kids staying at home doing nothing and she's earning a paycheck. great stuff! griff: they're not actually doing nothing and i bet that valedictorian is similar. my 14-year-old daughter mckenzie has been doing classes online every day with zoom and what's fascinating to point out is they aren't losing a step because this entire generation of teenagers were raised communicating with each other electronically so it isn't like they are missing it, i'm sure

that valedictorian, kudos to her i bet she's keeping up almost in same speed as before. pete: good correction, griff, not nothing something plus, she's doing the zoom and then going to call vernacular english es which is a little bit extra. jedediah: pete they can't all be in the hegseth school of higher learning. they'd like to be. pete: i'm giving much respect, hard work clearly taught to this young lady good for her congratulations. i love it. jedediah: we'll head over to rick richmuth for some updates via skype on weather hey, rick. rick: hey, guys yeah, there's a lot going on weather wise. you don't like to see that especially with everything else people are dealing with but we do, today, have a threat for some severe weather and some of it could be really extreme. take a look at the map and show you what's going on. already pretty strong storms across the southern side of this down across parts of arkansas stretching in towards of texas but to the north of that that we've got the biggest threat for severe weather today. especially across parts of eastern iowa and then in across

areas of illinois. some of that potentially some very large long-lasting tornado es and that's one of the things we're most concerned about here with these storms later on today. we already have really warm air in place, certainly for this early in the morning and it's also really humid that's part of the ingredients. normally this time of the year you see the severe weather a little bit farther off towards the south so you don't expect to see this across parts of northern illinois and that's one of the reasons we need everybody to be so aware. anywhere you see that yellow we'll definitely see strong storms could be a tornado or two but towards the northern part of this around the mississippi river valley is where we'll be looking at the threat for very long-lasting storms, and tornadoes that is and it could be large and violent, it starts a little bit earlier today than normal, so anywhere from around noon, all the way through the overnight hours, be prepared for really significant severe weather. all right, guys back to you. griff: rick thanks very much. rick: you bet.

griff: still ahead millions of households will soon get checks in the mail or direct deposits in their bank account after president trump signed that coronavirus relief bill which is designed to help workers and small businesses so how much of a difference will it make? well the one and only charles payne crunches the numbers, coming up. my psoriatic arthritis pain? i had enough! it's not getting in my way. joint pain, swelling, tenderness... ...much better. my psoriasis, clearer...

jedediah: good saturday morning to you welcome back. we have quick headlines a congressman wants to close the grand canyon, arizona democrat says the national park should not be open during the pandemic. the grand canyon says it's taking precautions but hasn't confirmed whether or not it will close. coronavirus concerns now closing one of tokyo's biggest attractions. cherry blossom parks now roped off as the trees are in full bloom. tokyo's governor asking the cities 13 million people to stay home this weekend, as the capitol faces a surge in

coronavirus cases. griff i know in d.c. they were also asking people not to sadly go look at the cherry blossoms this week. griff: that's right, jillian. they're closed here for no one can drive down there, or even walk or run. it's tough to see it but we got to do what we got to do. thanks, jillian. president trump signing a historic $2 trillion stimulus package to help workers and small businesses struggling during the pandemic so how does this affect you in your wallet? here to break it down the host of making money on fox business, charles payne. all right, charles, is this going to be a good thing for these struggling americans? what do we got? charles: you know, griff it's going to be an amazing thing for americans and here is a couple thins that really stand out about this. we've been through these sort of crisis in recent past in 2000 and 2001 there was an emergency package $300 for an individual, $600 for families, that's after the the great recession and we had

another package very similar and this is significantly larger in size, 1,200 per individual, 2,400 per families, 500 per child and also the speed at which they want to get this money out has to be emphasized. during the great recession it took over three months for american households to get any sort of relief. money should be hitting people's pockets within the next three weeks. now they are going to go through social security receipts, railroad retirement, you know, statements and also of course 2018-2019 taxes. so you don't meet any of those qualifications it could be a little bit harder you need to be making moves to let them know do you know what i work in a cash business or i didn't file a return, but the bottom line is the overwhelming majority of americans will be getting a relief very shortly. griff: you know charles we were just showing on the screen the other components that includes aid for small businesses, hospitals and at the top of it the 500 billion for corporations, this is different. people have pointed out there it

is you see the whole breakdown. this is different than the bail out we all remember from 2008. charles: it is different, over 400 billion coming from the federal reserve, there will be some different rules and languages in there. of course there's a lot of controversy when certain industries may have shot themselves in the foot or when times were good just gave out money to the shareholders via dividends or buybacks so there's some controversy there, but the bottom line is the largest employers in this country, we don't want them to be not only to not to be able to stay in business, but we also want to make sure we can remain competitive on the global stage, so boeing is something that some people feel very controversial. i think listen, everyone watching this show has a rainy day fund or they try to have one, boeing spends tens of billions of dollars on stock buybacks and dividends, and so it feels like when the good times are good they shared it are shareholders. when they're bad we all have to chip in so i get that

controversy, griff but they employ a lot of people, they keep us competitive on a global stage, so it's going to be handled differently. it's not the blank checks that were written before. there will be accountability. griff: all right, charles payne thank you very much. we will see you hopefully stronger than the last time. appreciate it. charles: i really do, i think we will. we will. griff: all right thank you, charles and watch making money weekdays at 2:00 p.m. on fox business, and of course, skype ing with us, thank you, charles. coming up, more music sensations like the back street boys are banning together for the i heart living room concert tomorrow on fox, the executive producers behind it will join us, coming up. >> ♪ ♪ i'm bad. you're stronger than you know. so strong. you power through chronic migraine, 15 or more headache or migraine days a month. one tough mother. you're bad enough for botox®. botox® has been preventing headaches and migraines
