howard: this is a fox news alert, i'm howard kurtz in washington. we're standing by for the daily news conference by new york governor andrew cuomo. meanwhile, president trump adopted a far more serious tone this week, saying a that each if everything goes right in the battle against the coronavirus, 100,000-240,000 americans could die, a marked contrast to what he was telling reporters a month ago when he said treat it like the flu. >> i want every american to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead. we're going to go through a very tough two weeks. it's the not the flu. it's vicious. howard: joining us to analyze the coverage, gayle trotter, host of right in d.c. kristin soltis anderson, washington examiner columnist and fox news contributor. and ray suarez, formerly of the pbs "newshour." and, gayle, many in the press are relieved that the president is now talking about the prospect of mass casualties and ordering of medical equipment, but "the washington post" says the president has sowed confusion and repeatedly sought to cast blame on oth

i'm a howard graduate. one of the things that i think we are having health disparities in the community is extremely because of economic disadvantaged population. let's say in maryland -- i live in maryland. i work in a primary care facility in maryland. the zip code 20903, right now, they are saying silver spring as -- is a hotspot for covid. the population there is at least 80% hispanic. if we look at the zip code 20745, it is considered federally underserved because of lack of health care professionals in that area. it also is considered a hotspot for covid. what is the problem now? we have extreme economic disadvantage. one of the things i think is a solution right now, this moment, is to get maryland, virginia, district of columbia to have all those physician assistants -- they are available right now -- to work. get them in the community right now before they expire. host: thank you for the call. dr. frederick? guest: i think getting foot soldiers on the ground to bring awareness i think is important.

and howard university president dr. wayne frederick discuss the -- discusses the racial and health disparities involving covid-19. "washington journal" is next. ♪ good morning. it is friday, april 17, 2020. president trump yesterday released new federal guidance for reopening the country that allows governors to decide when to restart the economies in their states. the plan does not set a hard date for reopening, but means some states with low numbers of coronavirus cases could begin to reopen for business . his morning on "the washington journal," -- for business. this morning on the washington journal, we want to hear from you. if you are in the central or eastern time zone, (202) 748-8000. if you are in the mountain or pacific time zones, (202) 748-8001. if you are recently unemployed, special line for you this morning --(202) 748-8002. you can also send us a text, (202) 748-8003. if you do, please include your name and where you are from. otherwise catch up with us on social media. on twitter it is @cspanwj. on face

,oining us now is howard davies the chairman of rbs. howard, thanks very much for your time.portant do you think the focus on sme's is? how important all these small and medium-sized enterprises and how hard are they getting hit by the pandemic? howard: it is very important because they do create a huge amount of employment in the country. for many of them, there has been a complete stop on their business. the most obvious ones being restaurants and hotels. but a lot more who are in the supply chain. it is absolutely crucial. i think the really key thing is that we need to ensure that there is productive capacity in the economy for when the opening up and the upturn eventually comes. because if we've lost production capacity because firms have just given up during the crisis, then we will have a constrained uptick. so, it is important in the downside, but it is also very important to position the economy better for the upturn. matt: how difficult is it going to be for these businesses? you mentioned, for example, servicents or merchants businesses collecting zero revenue righ

howard: i would not be surprised. that, i do believe that we need be less defensive than we were six months ago or so. rallies, they have always been -- fast rallies have always been interrupted by fast retreat. recount in your latest memo how aggressively oaktree bought debt in the financial crisis of 2008 before the ultimate lows were reached in march of 2009. workuch has oaktree but to since this crisis began? award: i can't give you number. we werell say that strong buyers in the month of march. panic, the motivated selling that accompanied the virus, there were good buys to be had. erik: do you know if your cochairmen, the ceo, everyone else back in los angeles, were able to buy as much as they wanted? many securities work selling at deep discount to where they were just weeks earlier. howard: that is right. and he was great job a substantial buyer. booth and i were going at it all the time. going too fast, too slow. buying in the midst of a cascade downward is always challenging. we bought. we tried to calibrate

similar sentiments were shared by howard marks.oining us now is noel o'halloran, great to have you with us on the show. it really does seem that the assumption and if you look at equity markets up until now has been for this v-shaped recovery, but we get this trifecta of warnings from several. are you on the side of those big investors today who are saying the worst is yet to come? can you hear us? it looks like we don't have noel. [indiscernible] manus: let's just pick up on that. you asked, you got gundlach, and howard the real moneye versus jp morgan, blackrock, morgan stanley, all calling for a bottom. railing against these very big warnings coming from stalwart veterans of risk involved. nejra: absolutely. if you think about it, it is perhaps extraordinary that until now the assumption seems a bit and markets at the second half of the year is going to see a recovery in a big bounceback, especially when you think about the fact that there are so much uncertainty around how the virus is going to evolve. what if we have more than

happy to have howard schultz with us right now. know him, the former chairman and ceo of starbucks. he has expressed concern too not only how they roll this out but what role maybe the federal government can play here, to sort of help facilitate all of this. howard, very good to have you, when you were talking about the federal government has to do more, what specifically were you talking about? >> well, thank you, neil. with all due respect to senator lankford and the republican senators who believe that ppp one and ppp two is enough, they're unfortunately very, very wrong. there is 30 million small businesses in america in which there are 500,000 independent represents. those small businesses represent 44% of the overall economy. they will not have enough money after ppp runs out for those that were abe to get it, most of them didn't, to reopen in a, in a world in which they will only have 25, perhaps, 50% of their revenue, because the revenue that is coming back after they reopen is not going to be the way it once was, it may no

howard: i would not be surprised.aid that, i do we need be less defensive than we were six months ago or so. since past rallies have always been interrupted by past thinkts, than i do not you can say i would be surprised if it happened this time. erik: you recount in your latest memo how aggressively oaktree bought debt in the first months of the financial crisis in 2008, before the ultimate lows were reached in march 2009. how much has oaktree put to work since this crisis began? i cannot give you a of a publicas part company i do not want to disclose information that has to be generally disclosed, but i will say we were strong buyers in the month of march, and in the panic or the motivated selling that accompanied the good buys towere be had. erik: you know whether bruce , jay, werecochairman able to buy as much as they wanted. many securities were selling at deep discounts from where they had been weeks earlier. that's right. bruce did a great job and he was a substantial buyer. bruce way, back in 2008, and i were

what they sold was an option to do the story to ron howard's company. what turned the option into a finished project was the lead actor, tom hanks. not die,closet after guy, aoset astronaut space enthusiast. he lobbied for the job. when universal heard that ron howard had tom hanks, who had gotten the oscar for philadelphia, they decided to do the movie. that's how it got started. >> what did your wife say when you said, guess who is going to play me? [laughter] mr. lovell: could not believe it. [laughter] i had an interview with ron howard after he bought the option and this is before tom hanks was on board. we went out for five hours to talk about the story. at the end, i was and, of course, when you buy, after i read the contract, when you sell the book to the movies, you've sold it, they can put it on mars, you know, and do anything they want. but i have to be quite honest, i could not have picked a better production team with ron howard, a better group of actors, and also, the woman who played my wife than the group they had gathered together to do

and we're back with jeremy howar howard. the question i'm going to ask, i'm going to pose it here because i want people to know. do you have any hard data that would suggest when you have a critical mass wearing these scarves is effective to tamp down the spread. >> i have a couple of interesting examples of this. perhaps the best thing we can do as data scientists is to look at two time periods of the same country. try and find two time periods but nothing much changes. you can't be perfect. one interesting thing is look at south korea. they have a culture of mask wearing but mainly only when they have symptoms. we now know it's not the primary time they need it. also, the country ran out of masks. people were not able to get masks. during that time, the number of cases in south korea was closely tracking italy. we know how awful things have gotten in italy. then in late february, the government stepped in and they guaranteed a supply of masks and set up a system where everybody could go and get their masks on a particular

the ceo, howard schultz, of starbuck's joins me now.hank you for what you and your team are putting together. what are you guys doing? you've got 100,000 food service workers in and around seattle totally out of work. >> poppy, thank you for the opportunity to talk about the plate fund. you're right, there are hundreds of people struggling, not to mention restaurant owners whose restaurants have closed. in seattle because we were so early with the epidemic, restaurants have now been closed almost three weeks. that means three weeks without a paycheck for almost 100,000 people in seattle. it's going to be a while before they get a stimulus in assistance, so we have stepped in, and with a very innovative program said what can we do to provide $500 million in cash with thousands applying for it? it's clear that seattle was ahead of everyone else in the country and we've begun to flatten the health curve here in terms of the virus. i think what's really important to understand in seattle and the rest of the country, we also have to begin to

take a look at shares -- jim mentioned it with howard schultz. goldman sachs had a margin loan that obviously is in default given the significant fall in the shares on friday they're selling 76 million ads that's putting pressure on the stock as well. by the way, it is also, again, a margin loan facility secured by shares, but it does appear it was the ceo as well and it will significantly reduce his voting interests. no let up there for luck and coffee when we come back in the next hour of "squawk on the street," don't miss sara's exclusive interview with janet yellen. more "squawk on the street" right after this have you noticed how well all the departments have been working together since we've gone mobile with the now platform? there's no friction at all. it's neat to see the office running so smoothly. servicenow. the smarter way to workflow. >>> time for a quick reset good monday morning. i'm carl quintanilla with sara eisen, jim cramer and david faber. dow is up better than 4% the last time we talked about ventilators with medtronic, it ra

that was the conversation sir howard davies of rbs.s. >> it is very important because they do create a huge amount of employment in the country. for many of them, there is been a complete stop on their business. the most obvious ones being restaurants and hotels. a lot more, too, in the supply chain for the tourism industry or manufacturing industry, which is largely closed down. it is crucial. the key thing is we need to ensure there is productive capacity in the economy for when the opening up and the upturn eventually comes. because if we have lost production capacity because firms have just given up during the crisis, then we will have a constrained upturn. it is both important on the downside, but also very important to position the economy better for the upturn. >> how difficult is it going to be for these businesses -- i mean, you mentioned restaurants or merchants, service businesses that are collecting zero revenue right now but getting loaded up with that, some of it with very high interest rates relatively high interest rate

howard, you go ahead and eat. this isn't going to make any sense to you.ldon, i have a working understanding of physics. yeah, good for you, and don't stop working on it. are you still going to tell him are you still going to introduce him? not on your life. ♪ our whole universe was in a hot, dense state ♪

hidden language that gave it it's pg-13 rain but the one thing i thought carried very well and ron howard did a great job was to tell the basic story of people that were in trouble and we certainly were in trouble although, there were problems on every mission we flew during the program and if we can look at the entire apollo program report it's a book about that dick, it's in the archives if you can get it through information. there is an appendix that lists the problems or we call them anomalies and some people call them funny's that happened on the flights and they listed them numerically by fight order and you ignore apollo seven and eight who only had one spacecraft. apollo 13 at the second least number of problems of all the flights. we almost aborted apollo 14 an apollo 16 in response that they're it will to work around and had them land. that was the nature of the business. as i said, the very thing about this movie that carried very well was the story of somebody with problems with challenge, challenge is really to face and showed a group of people, a mission control in ourselves

she is the former chair of history at howard. she is the former interim dean and professor of history. her works focus on african-american history and the history of the jacksonian era, the reconstruction. some of her works include the emancipation proclamation three views which is now coming out in paperback. the price of freedom, slavery and the civil war. volume one and volume two. as well as the historical perspectives of the african burial ground new york blacks and the diaspora. what i have always found about her scholarship is she reminds us of the human toll of the civil war. we often can float into abstractions or perhaps i'm speaking of myself and the world of ideas and look at history from a detached perspective but she is always there to remind us of the humid toll, the humid cost and bring this conflict to life for us. please welcome and a green medford. -- edna green medford.

take it from me, howard. standing at that podium for more than 30 minutes, it's kind of like being at a bar after 2:00 a.m. all the good stuff has already happened. the only thing left is probably bad stuff so get out of the bar before 2:00, get off the podium after about 30 minutes. howie: interesting analogy. the president of course doesn't drink on your bar analogy. he has gone 90 minutes to two hours. >> reporters do. howie: good point there. all right. the president really unloaded on the media the other day. i want to play the sound bite and have you react on the other side. >> i do think that the press, the media, foments a lot of anger. for instance, i'll be asked a tremendously hostile question from somebody and then i'll answer in a hostile way which is appropriate, otherwise you look foofoolish. howie: that's sort of the mirror image of what the press says about president trump, that he's fomenting division. do you believe the press deliberately or otherwise is fomenting anger about the coronavirus

between you and howard, what do you need to see?> in order to have an improved sentiment, we will need to see two things. first that the measures regarding the epidemic are know,g well, so as, you today is today that in wuhan, they are starting to reopen, so we need to monitor quite closely what is happening in asia to make sure there is not a second there and wemic also need to see a continuation of improvement in the curves of the epidemic in europe and the united states. the second thing that we need is data, that the economic and more importantly, the indicators, are in line with kind of a v-shaped recovery. if not, i would say we would have to switch into a second scenario where we could think that the economic shutdown could extend beyond 2020, in which case it will be positive for the market. one thing is crucial is the ability to test people that are going back to work. need to see improvement in the ability to provide testing. nejra: in terms of the eventual recovery, you are in the -- camp, which i found interesting. one o

from socially distance howard, from the suck, i am not in public. in public -- distanced from howard, from lisa, i am not in public. in public, that i think is a small inconvenience that has a tremendous benefit for people. if you want to go walk the dog with me or i walk the dog with you, i wear a mask, and my daughter wears a mask. the dog doesn't wear a mask. i have not heard any data that suggests pets should wear a mask. so that is not violating anything. when i walk the dog i wear a mask, not as attractive as your mask, by the way. reporter: talk about unity, president trump has been encouraging implicitly and explicitly, some republican states to move ahead with reopening plans. beaches are reopening in florida today. there have been protests in statehouses around the country. what do you make of that piecemeal approach? and considering people could travel from florida to new york , etc., doesn't that defeat the purpose of trying to stamp this out? gov. cuomo: i think no one should inject politics, that is --y, jesse, do as you say you know h

i told ron howard we didn't answer because it gave him more drama for his movie. but, no, scientifically no one could discern what it was. i talked to gene krantz about that after the flight and he said, no, we had you dead center on the flight path coming in and there was -- there was no explanation for why the heat shield and the -- the sheath caused that blackout to last longer. one of the phytos, flight dynamic officers, had rereturn data and thought we ended up from certain bidding that we would end up a little bit shallow and thought maybe the entry ended up a little shallower and that had caused the length of extension at the time. but truthfully, the data didn't -- couldn't account for that much time. so, no, it is one of those unknowns. >> my name is peter ved and my friend peter gathered my interest on this particular subject. but if you don't mine sharing with us, what is your annual income? >> what is my annual income?

howard bauchner.all.n time zones, in the first hour, we heard from a number of people who, if they did not get tested positive for covid-19, certainly showed symptoms. thought,s far back, he as november. are you getting any research or reporting on the symptoms that were popping up early on this that may have gone undetected? you are asking two different questions. i think it would be unusual for someone to have been diagnosed or to have covid-19 in november. i think the earliest cases really probably did not come to the united states until sometime in january. i think one of your callers -- and we are about to publish a research letter about this, and this has been very prominent in social media and some medical journals -- what appears to be a change in smell and taste among a number of patients who have been diagnosed with covid-19. that has been a very interesting presentation that i think clinicians and patients have gotten more aware of. that you weree suggesting was the issue of testing. testin

steve: howard, thank you. dr. frist: great question, howard. thank you.ause a lot of people will say, from the experience in asia, predominantly china, we know this is a disease, covid-19 antivirus, that in particular affects people above the age of 60, usually what people say. but it gradually increases after 60-70, but in particular 70-80 and above 80. it disproportionately takes people to what is called a third phase of the disease, which has a much higher mortality rate. that leaves a lot of people to say, instead of having this massive shutdown that we have today, it is called population mitigation, it is done at the federal level and state level, why didn't we just focus on quarantining and separating older people and seniors from everybody else, and thereby protecting them? it canwer to that is, andck people of all ages, the carriers of the virus can be of any age. nobody has an immunity. young people didn't quarantine and didn't stay at home, and by young people, i'm saying less than 50 people of -- less than 50 years of age, and will allow the vi

what is that going to look like, do you think, howard?going to be able to sit there at all? i would imagine every one of those stores -- again, you're a company that can handle a lot. it's going to take a huge hit in terms of business. >> well, starbucks is an anomaly. there's all these small businesses. we have the resources and the balance sheet to manage through the most severe storm here. we're going to be opening with drive-thrus and pickup windows and a lot of space between our customers, and we're clearl not going to be at 100% parity. no business is going to be. the economic issues for a large company like starbucks, yes, it's going to be difficult but we will manage, sure. for a small business, an independent restaurant that operates month to month, they don't have the cash resources, they don't have the ability to get through this. and i'm telling you, i hope you play this interview by labor day because if we do not save these busine businesses, you're going to see 10 million small businesses go out of business, millions of peop

howard, the w.h.o. initially said you only need to wear a mask if you're taking care of a person with a suspected covid-19 infection. how did they get tell so strong? >> well, we now know that 50% of people infected have no symptoms. we also know during the first week is when people are most infectious, where they're least likely to have symptoms. what the w.h.o. did here, they did not err on the side of caution. they weren't quite sure of the science, and what they should have said is do do it. 80% of americans wear a face mask, any kind of cover, they can actually stop the virus in its tracks. >> here is the cloth covering i'm using, i don't know if you can see it, when i wear it, am i doing so to protect myself or to protect you? >> primary, you're doing it to do your bit in the community to protect others. we know that this disease spreads when we talk, little droplets fly out of our mouth. it makes obvious sense and the science shows any cloth cover stops that. it's been estimated by yale researche

actually, when i had an interview with ron howard after he bought the option and this is before hanks or anybody was on-board we went out there for about five hours to talk over the story about apollo 13, at the end when i was about ready to leave, he said, who would you like to play your part? and i don't know much about actors or actresses but i had seen the movie dances with wolves about six or eight months before and i said kevin costner and hanks never let me forget that i said that but hanks did a great job. >> were you frightened about what hollywood might do to your story? >> yes, i was to a degree because i had heard these stories of famous authors who don't like the way their books are portrayed on the screen. and, of course, when you buy, after i read the contract, when you sell the book to the movies, you've sold it, they can put it on mars, you know, and do anything they want. but i have to be quite honest, i could not have picked a better production team with ron howard, a better group of actors, and also, the woman who played my wife than the group they had gathered tog

natasha howard, thank you very much indeed. yes, thank you very much.s now, and senator bernie sanders has endorsed his former rival, joe biden, for the democratic nomination for president. for more on the significance of the announcement, here's the bbc‘s katty kay. it's a sign of the times that this was not done at some big political rally in a swing state but from the basement of the senator from vermont at the basement of the former vice president of the united states. the two men coming together, asjoe biden put it, for critical unity. what's key about this is the timing. i remember back in 2016, bernie sanders' endorsement of hillary clinton was pretty tepid. in fact, it took him 36 days after she was the presumptive nominee to actually get there. this time around, it's taken bernie sanders only five days and as he put it, the reason he's endorsing joe biden as the because he believes that donald trump as he says "the most dangerous president in american history and he will do everything he can to try to get him out of the white house. that includ
