it's so amazing to be recognized for all our hard work. growing up and attending lincoln high school, the aaa teams never made it far in the post season. in the beginning of this season, our goal was to win our section title and to get past the second round of nor-cal. we were able to accomplish that and so much more, but i will let marie go kind of speak to that. what i wanted to touch on is how proud i am of these girls. before practice or tournaments, you could find them studying for their tests or getting ahead of homework. it is hard to balance academics and sports at such a prestigious school. our team held the highest accumulative grade point average of any team at lowell high school. telling teams that they are your favorite team is sort of bad practice, but in my nine years of coaching, i have to admit this is one of my favorite teams to coach. not only because of the success they had, but because of their love for volleyball and each other. i hope you all remember how much of an impact you have made on not only lowell high school

in 2007, our state was hit hard by the recession. ththrough tremendous effort we came through it, but our economic recovery was slow. this time we want to make sure our economy springs back quickly after this crisis has passed, and that workers havetu good jos to return to when it does. that's why we need to pass these far-reaching measures to provide immediate relief to individuals, families, and businesses suffering from the economic impacts of this pandemic. nevada has an economy that is unique in the nation. our hospitality industry generates nearly 68 noting dollars annually, and supportspo more than 450,000 jobs across the state. so i have been focus on standing up for g our gaming, tourism, ad hospitality workers. i also want to make sure that when we offered relief to the companies, there was oversight, transparency, accountability, and worker protections in place. this bill does that. i am grateful to the many small businesses in my state who have taken the hard but necessary action and closed their doors or reduced their se

welcome everybody to watch your hard. joining me now to help me break down the ins and outs of this 2 trillion dollar coronavirus stimulus bill that isn't quite there yet i use are to america correspondent. so 1st you know democrats were holding this up earlier in the week now it's down to 3 grand old party republican senators saying that this is giving too much to the unemployed how dare we give ron employed money how much are we talking about because what exactly in their minds is too much to give to people without jobs so the 1st thing that they're getting wrong here is they're talking about the unemployed people that are already not working what they don't realize is there is a massive amount of unemployed just 218000 alone that filed last week because of this virus so what they're saying is is that you know while everyone there they have been throwing around this number of every american going to get $1200.00 also in this new bill and what we'll get into more of it in a 2nd but it's saying that if you were laid off b

that fact is a reason to debate, hard and fast and debate what hard policy looks like and not a reason to allow garbage policies to get by because someone simply says, no, no, you've got to go faster, you can't ask about the policy. >> the next 48 to 72 hours this body will be making crucial decisions about somewhere between one and four spending packages. i agree with the president that this is an unprecedented economic situation and the federal government at the health level obviously has a fundamentally crucial role to play in helping us get through this pandemic which recognizes no borders or boundaries and thus the federal government ises going to have to spend real money and as the third or fourth most conservative voting member, we're spending significant amounts of money and that's clearly. saying we have to spend real money is not the same as saying we should spend like idiots and unfortunately, d.c. so far has been handling our responsibilities exactly as a lot of voters feared. right now the proposal on the table, which just came over from the house of representatives, is fo

we, parents not much money, deep faith, hard work. and my dad used to say to my sister and me, i don't care if you have to work three jobs to pay your bills, work three jobs. that's really the way i was raised. and i suspect most of us here were raised that way. strong work ethics. when i was involved with the lead democratic welfare reform i used to say people ought to be better off working than welfare and bill clinton-- and welfare, people were better off staying at home than working and kind of the same principles we're talking about here. the-- every state has its own unemployment insurance fund. we have one in delaware, one in nebraska, with unin texas, one in illinois. they're different and different benefits are calculated in different states and delaware, i just got off the phone colleagues with a fellow, used to be member of my team earlier in my time in the senate and now secretary of labor and i said, what-- mr. secretary, what do we pay people in compare on unemployment insurance? what is the replacement rate? and he says

we have so much gratitude to the hard-working people of america and many of them are in trouble now. through no fault of their own. this virus has affected some of them, has required others to be quarantined, and has caused businesses to lay off billions. we must protect them first and foremost. our plan has five basic pillars. pillar one is to bolster the healthcare system dramatically. if we don't feed the fight against this virus, if we don't do it as quickly as possible, the economy will get worse and worse no matter what we do so we must work extremely quickly and massively to bolster our healthcare system. we need a marshall plan for our healthcare system and that is what we propose. we need direct aid to hospitals. larger hospitals in many cities already have patients, smaller and rural hospitals could will be in danger of closing because of this crisis. we must bolster the hospitals. we need equipment, they need ventilators, they need more icu beds, they need masks, a simple thing like a nose swab. a hospital told me they can't do testing because they don't have nasal swabs.

those at the health department are working hard. with that, i am happy to take questions. >> the sheriff is interpreting your order on bars and clubs to allow them to stay open, but not serve alcohol after 5:00 p.m. was that your intention, and did you discuss that with the sheriff? withat we are trying to do this is we want to avoid large crowds throughout the state. i don't want to shut every aspect of life down. i think that would not be effective. situations,in those and i if i could have figured out a more tailored way to do it, i would have. but today, we have people crowding into these places. that's creating the type of activity we are being warned against. if you are one of those establishments, the intent was to suspend for 30 days. licenses, and they will be looking to ensure compliance. they are going to put out, either today or tomorrow, more specific guidance. i think they should heed it. >> how can you say there is no community spread from these other communities when we don't have enough tests to be sure? >> i think

or enough in the situation many countries with a lower number of cases and they need to to work as hard as they can to contain this fire so that they don't progress into the situation that other countries find themselves in now where do things stand right now when it comes to potential vaccines and treatments. vaccines are. a long way out at this point and you know peer with and honest with everyone it's going to take at least a year to bring vaccines into the fight against this wireless there are at least 30 kind that it actually is currently being developed are already under under under trials in fact trials are started last week in the united states and further trials will be starting in china and other countries in the coming weeks. so we have hope in that vaccine candidates are going into trials but once there's a series of steps phase $12.00 and $3.00 trials that need to be completed and then we need to be able to scale up produce and distribute that vaccine to everyone who needs it that's a massive effort it's going to require a coordinated public private partnership to do that w

it's so amazing to be recognized for all our hard work. growing up and attending lincoln high school, the aaa teams never made it far in the post season. in the beginning of this season, our goal was to win our section title and to get past the second round of nor-cal. we were able to accomplish that and so much more, but i will let marie go kind of speak to that. what i wanted to touch on is how proud i am of these girls. before practice or tournaments, you could find them studying for their tests or getting ahead of homework. it is hard to balance academics and sports at such a prestigious school. our team held the highest accumulative grade point average of any team at lowell high school. telling teams that they are your favorite team is sort of bad practice, but in my nine years of coaching, i have to admit this is one of my favorite teams to coach. not only because of the success they had, but because of their love for volleyball and each other. i hope you all remember how much of an impact you have made on not only lowell high school

will be hard to do. maybe in some areas of the country that have been less hard-hit, they could get economic activity up and running more quickly. there could be more targeted approach for areas that have been more effective like washington state in new york state but it will have to be a wait and see game until we get some second-quarter numbers and on a claimant numbers by the end of the week. great to get your great to get your insight. anna edgerton in washington. we will stay in washington now. some traders, forced to abandon their desks and this has regulators grappling -- scrambling to figure out how to grapple with all of this. thank you for joining us today. mr. chairman. can you give us insight into the liquidity concerns and issues we have been hearing from traders and analysts, the idea that getting folks on the phone whether it is a futures broker or swaps dealer, do we have a sense that people who need to be in contact, the people you oversee, they are able to get in contact? >> yes. thank

sacrifices hard, but a modest sacrifice in the near term can help save the lives of people we love. so i implore every virginian coming every american to follow the recommendations we give more public health officials and find ways to safely reach out and connect with friends and family during this challenging time. and to my colleagues, we must rise to meet this challenge. this is one of the moments for which we were destined to be in the senate. the people we serve are relying on us to calmly and promptly address a great health crisis with the tools needed to keep families safe and protect the american economy. it is a serious responsibility that we all live up to. with that mr. president, yield the floor and i note the absence of a quorum. >> thank you, mr. president i am glad now the republican leader and his caucus now have a plan. we look forward to working with them to come up with a bipartisan product as soon we can. this crisis grows worse every day. and we believe we need a bold b plan, a strong plan. our plan must put workers, the millions of workers who are adversely aff

it's a nice thing nonchalance is no help to coronaviruses struck its industrial heart a hard blow to a country already struggling with konami crisis. this may be a preview of things to come as other countries battle the fibrous country in quarantine but will all the precautions prove effective were around a 2 questions will approve will precautions prove effective and is the lockdown justified that's very complicated so if i take the comparison with china the lockdown was in was effective so yes to a certain extent it is effective to just just basically prohibit all the contact social contacts it's all about social contacts and if you just stop it then that seems to be a fact of that's the that we can learn from china like all my friends in beijing we've been like kind of care and not as bad as but also being there like in house and only living with maybe one other person cycling walking and empty streets. beijing was not bought a beijing there was a. cases compared to. the chinese government with its very very strict measures made it possible that it didn't spring of a very bad it s

it is hard to unpack that. the next big thing we are going to see is whether or not the fed asks congress for authority to bind different kinds of -- buy different kinds of assets. it is different looking at a credit event. the banks balance sheets -- corporate not so much. the issue is how long is this air pocket? that goes back to the conversation whether it is a v or a u. if it is two months, the businesses can get through it. if the air pocket is three to six months, you are going to have credit events. this is where the fed will ask congress to purchase different kinds of assets, like the ecb. not that it has been helpful in growing the economy but it stabilizes market risks. michael is still with us. talk to us about the technical measures. technical analysts, traders, they had a lot of ideas about how to play the downturn similar to go before its order reached to severity it has gotten to this point. how have those traits hold up and what are you hearing -- trades held up and what are you hearing from fo
