>> bill: we mentioned this about 30 minutes ago. the president telling the lawmakers to call off the talks with nancy pelosi and democrats over the next covid relief bill. the net effect of that right now is it sent stocks lower. dow down 367 points. 20 plus 20 minutes ago. chet is tracking this live back in washington on the hill. what is happening there now? >> well, there is already i heard from a couple of people involved in the negotiations or watching them on capitol hill who are questioning the wisdom of why the president would make this announcement when the stock market is still open.
12:27 pm
the market was going up a couple of days ago when there was optimism they were getting closer. house speaker nancy pelosi and treasury secretary steve mnuchin were talking on the phone. there is a floor and a ceiling. a ceiling for republicans how 5 they go can. 1.6-trillion dollars and the floor for democrats two trillion dollars. then you get into the crawlspace, the sweet spot. they have not been able to bridge that gap. in the democrats come down too low, they lose votes. if republicans come up too high they begin to lose votes. they have never met. the tweets that the president sent a couple of minutes ago. the president said that house speaker nancy pelosi is asking too much. 2.4-trillion dollars. it would bail out poorly run
12:28 pm
high crime democrats states and said this is not tied to covid. he is instructing the treasury secretary steve mnuchin to withdraw and telling mitch mcconnell to focus on confirming amy coney barrett to the supreme court. you have a lot of republican senators in battleground states hoping to get some sort of a bill to vote on they could agree upon on and take that home to the voters before november 3rd. this throws out the window any possibility of that unless something changes very fast. >> bill: okay. breaking news from the capitol hill. breaking news on the president. his condition at the white house. we bring in a doctor from john's hopkins university. the fifth and final reception of remdesivir happens today.

12:31 pm
latest claim? >> well, i talked to people close to that event. a draft was posted just prematurely as a clerical mistake. what the cdc puts out is not only guidance for the country but the cdc is a regularatory body for the world. we have know that airborne transmission can link for a long time. indoor settings with poor ventilation and speaking that is a high risk super spreader recipe for start. >> bill: doctor. thanks. come back soon. back in utah. senator kamala harris getting ready to take on mike pence tomorrow night in prime-time.
