for example, the other parts manufacturers association reached out to us, asking how they could help. our health care professionals really need support so our government will help these companies shift production from auto parts to medical supplies. we're also close to reaching agreements with several other companies, including thornhill medical and spartans bioscience. the ministers will have more to say on this today. have a is also creating new, innovative procurement streams to allow more businesses to develop solutions and products canadian bigots of -- canadians need because of covid-19. we will expedite these streams so these products are ready to use as soon as possible. canada is home to some of the best innovators in the world, and with this new initiative, we will harness their talent and know-how to get through these challenging times. [speaking french] over the past week, service canada and many government agencies have received a historic number of calls concerned canadians. -- from concerned canadians. we have received 5000 applications compared to under 27,000 for the

the illinois manufacturer's association, a statewide organization, representing nearly 4,000 companies and facilities, will be coordinating manufacturers interested in donating or producing essential supplies that are fda approved and sterilized. things like n 95 masks, gloves, gowns, ventilators, sanitizer, face masks, and more. many of these companies are repurposing their facilities in order to meet critical demand. the illinois biotechnology innovation organization, also called i-bio, represents 85,000 life science employees across the state. the organization has launched a covid-19 response fund to make direct purchases of protective products at a competitive rate. going forward, the essential equipment task force will work with the illinois emergency management agency to scale up to mass production of the fda approved ppe that illinois health care workers need. i'm incredibly grateful to and proud of these illinois organizations for stepping up to this moment. and we are lucky to have ceo and president of the ima, the illinois manufacturer's association, mark densler, and ceo and

we continue on to frankfurt to the german rubber manufacturers association the w d k. many tire mine. factures are among its members it's headquartered in a villa in the city center. manas. is managing director the lobby group also has a code of conduct it sounds good at 1st. the w. d. k. and its members recognize their social responsibility to their own company to customers and suppliers to the environment and to society the actions of the companies are guided in particular by the values of integrity and fairness. this code of conduct has existed for some time now it provided the basis for this sustainability charter that stipulates that we are responsible for the people who are employed across this rubber value chain. but we can't influence everything right down to the farm or some farm i want i say how can that be. but if we simply tried paying more for example and then it would reach the 1st echelon of traders but there are 7 other traders beneath them so you never reach the farmer in and effect. we showed dollars engelhard our footage from the rubber plantations.

onesr: some of the major coming from the manufacturing association, the restaurants and some of the other travel industries. further down that list, airline companies asking for $50 billion. the pushback, the problem with that $50 billion, they engaged in 45 billion dollars of share buybacks in the past 10 years. there could be some political revocations. mohamed el-erian saying the key goal for congress, you have to deal with national security and job loss. the political stuff will have to be secondary. david: terribly important, but you have to get past, kratz -- get past democrats. boltanskyow is isaac of compass point research and trading. there's a proposal out there supposedly with treasury secretary steven mnuchin and mitch mcconnell, but we are hearing pushback on things like taylor just talked about, which is bailing out these companies, what restrictions you put on them. is wonderfulk it that we finally have a proposal that both policymakers and market participants are able to dig their teeth into and start talking about, but i think it is important for investors to be cognizant

several drug manufacturers as well as industry associations that i have spoken with are suggesting thatome of the export of these apis or active pharmaceutical ingredients, these are absolutely essential intermediaries for manufacturing medical drugs and those have resumed in the past ten days. they are reaching indian shores where they are being fumigated and thoroughly checked before dispatched to drug maker facilities. checked before dispatched to drug makerfacilities. concerns checked before dispatched to drug maker facilities. concerns over global shortages had spiked, like i said, because india and china are absolutely key nodes in the global pharmaceutical supply chain. india imports about 80% of its api needs from china which it converts into generic drugs which are then exported to markets like the united states and the european union. now with china limping back to normal the and those workers getting back to factories, there is essentially some hope that those concerns can be put to rest. thank you so much for that update. a new report has found that update. a new report has

has the papers of the national association manufacturers.y were probably the leaders of free enterprise and have a huge collection which includes whippings. i highly recommend for historians a subscription to newspapers.com, which might getsry at the university .hich are the bigger newspapers newspapers.com let you into thousands of local newspapers, we've come across syndicated inumns which will not appear large newspapers -- in some newspapers. my perception is on auto renew. >> with the right sleeve coming out of the jacket. from the journal of labor. enterprisen of free seems to be a carefully chosen --ernative to free markets free-market thought. i am wondering if you might comment on the distinction and whether free enterprise as it allows more wiggle room and it also even allows as you suggested initially the anti-communist labor movement and was it to embrace free unionism and free trade unionism as opposed to state-based communist labor unionism. in that sense, free market is much more closely associated and harkensulation back to l

janitors, anyone associated with them. manufacturing. the big three shut down. you see it in entertainment. everything has been canceled. under 10 when workers aren't being able to do anything. we see it in construction. construction workers are starting to get laid off. that is why it is important for us to get the unemployment insurance program up and running covering people with sufficient -- a sufficient amount of income to keep the economy moving so that when this pandemic leaves we can still pick up the pieces and quickly rebuild the economy and get our economy moving again. the american federation of teachers is under your organization. do believe at this point that schools -- teachers may not return to school this school year? pres. trumka: i think that is quite likely. we will be doing things online the rest of the school year. some schools have already done that. some schools of higher education have already said they are not coming back. it can very well happen. that means all the support staff aren't going to be around. they are going to need in unem

. >> the national association of manufacturers conducting a survey finding more than a third facing supplyions joining me now to discuss is jay t timmons. national director of supply chain. tell me when that was conducted? >> it was earlier this week, obviously given the market conditions, the news could be even more negative a manufacturers are looking for information. what we have gotten back are questions about timely, concise accurate information about what is happening with the supply chain and what to do if an outbreak occurs or an infection is diagnosed in our facilities at that point, we need to shut the facility, how do we clean the facility and what are the actions we can take to make sure employees stay whole. >> you said there are questions of what they need to do. do they have a plan? >> that's what they are trying to establish this is new any type of disruption will have consequences for the economy if it is as broad as some are predicting those numbers, a third facing supply chain disruptions, meaning their times or sourcing, they expect a negative financial impact over half

decline in auto sales in the world's largest auto market the chinese or the china association of automobile manufacturers says they would like to see cuts to the purchase tax on smaller vehicles measures to support sales in rural areas and easing on a mission requirements however a representative from the organization said they do not expect all measures to be taken into account now the c. am said it also expects sales will pick up in march as officials say the worst is over in the country but does not expect things to return to normal until the 3rd quarter of 2020 and for more on this and how the auto industry is fairing amid market turmoil due to the coronavirus we are joined by lauren fix the car coach lauren it is a pleasure to have you wish it was under better circumstances this 79 percent decline is massive and really sales in china had already fallen for 20 straight months do you really expect sales to pick up in the coming months as the world is still very concerned about this virus. right well thank you brant and i think one of the biggest things is that people are back to work in china so they'

the ceo and president of the national association of manufacturers. great to see you.ou for being here. i know you think manufacturing is essential to our economy. i think it is as well but make your case. >> we make everything including life-saving devices that people are relying on right now. so if any of our country make devices and may be part of a supply chain to the finished product. so we are trying to make sure manufacturing is considered essential at all levels, local and state government declarations, ensuring manufacturers can stay open. david: i see who are at home. in a factory, people are able to upper. i imagine you can space that out a bit but how can we keep factories open while keeping the workers safe? >> excellent question. we just had that discussion today with 3000 manufacturers, we could have had more but we bust the capacity of the phone points. brief engine manufacturers listening to a set of guidelines that cec is requesting. they are going to be finalized and get those two factors to make sure that all of our employees are safe and they can f

manufacturers. research institutes reference centers nonprofit associations organizations that allow lobbyists to influence public discourse. they can also help deflect attention away from scandals and improve the company's image. one example in france the companies importing palm oil they created the forest conservation alliance which works to reduce deforestation. for us it's abouout desesire to push this channel to get your business school which is we put a stop to defororestation in our supply chain. this sort of advertising the ngos use that definitely has an impact on our corporate image. clear virtue signalling which is another way for the food lobbies to achieve the ultimate goal competitive it see any cost. w when i was a witness you groans perhaps t the biggest obstacles faced by french consumers is information. all hands on any ready made meal process i'm assigned to the north the lengthy of angry only you. on thehe line. thank technology increasing being put to task when i come to a super to meet with kim explanations an app that helps translate and sift through this data. thank you very much f

elements of this where you could turn to a supplier and say, fill the materials the associated for another manufacturer to make it on scale , and there are other elements of turning to american industry and asking them to make a product specific. they are going to administrative work associated with that, and you will hear a lot -- a lot more. >> two separate questions. if you stop virtual recruiting, how close are you to stopping basic training? i'm sorry, if you've closed recruiting stations, how close are you to stopping basic training? in the timeline just scribe for new york in terms of renovating -- just described for new york in terms of renovating existing buildings, how many days are we talking about before a contract is let to a contractor to do the work and the work begins? >> let me take the first one on basic training, initial military training, we are continuing to send soldiers to military training. we have extensive procedures in place. it starts at the state and doesn't assessment of where the state is as far as covid-19. they are screened in the state and then they move to the militar

we went at the business round table, the national association of manufacturers on a separate effort. i'm leading annest efnes effor back on credit card bills i'm leaning on freddie and fannie. the economic downturn could be more significant than the health care costs. i'd like to see the companies get ahead of the game. my sense is the larger scomp enterprises probably will. my concern is how do we make sure in a sense -- probably won't pass a bill but the norm is, the expectation, nobody should lose a job, nobody should lose pay. everybody has flexibility to take care of a kid home from school. and there ought to be forbearance on whether it's rent, credit card, you name it. if not, it could be a disaster. particularly concerned, you may address this in the entire segment, even if the larger enterprises do this, what happens when the home health care worker or the nursing home worker, oftentimes, low income, potentially immigrant, who may not be afraid of taking the time off but to intersect with the public. >> senator, those are the people affected by this. we could have confidence

i'm working with the national association of manufacturers, the textile organization, all these groupsnies are repurchasing factories. that's what's going to make the difference in the short run in terms of how we do this. it's the biggest industrial mobilization since world war ii under the leadership of president trump. so that is what i'm focused on while we are waiting with baited breath to have the hill come together. it can't be this partisan bickering. >> harris: you know, as you are speaking, it makes sense to have a point person. that's part of the problem, governor cuomo is saying he is bidding against other municipalities and states. i'm going to pull away from all that great information you just give us, really empowered by knowing the details. peter navarro, white house trade advisor. thank you. i want to get to this breaking news with governor cuomo of new york. he is there at the javits center looking to see, cannot be a medical surge facility? let's watch and listen. >> we will start directing the equipment upstairs. luckily, javits has plenty of space. we are expanding

the federal defense production act just says you compel a company, manufacture, this many by this date. associative government power on private sector companies. yes. but so what? this is a national emergency. you are paying the private sector company. they are going to produce a good and they are going to get paid. by the way, they are going to get paid handsomely. you cannot continue to do these supplies on an ad hoc basis. success securing supplies. we are going to be dispatching them across the state today. these are the number of goods that are going up. you heard on the news that especially in new york city, they're worried about running out of supplies. again, this won't get us through the entire situation but this is a significant amount of supplies that will be going out. new york city, for example, surgical masks, 72 thousand guns, 98,000 face ,hields -- 72,000 gallons 98,000 face shields. masks, which are very precious not come about seven dollars a mask. these are significant supplies. successbeen having some in gathering them and we are distributing them. this should make a difference.

bus drivers, food workers, janitors, everyone associated with that. in manufacturing. the big three shut down. now the supply chain will have to shut down to follow it. see and entertainment. everything has been canceled. in attainment workers are not being able to do anything. you see construction. construction is being canceled, delayed, moved off and so construction workers are starting to get laid off. that is why it is so important for us to get the unemployment insurance program up, running, covering people with sufficient amounts of income, to keep them going and to keep the economy moving. so that when this pandemic leaves, we can still pick up the pieces and quickly rebuild the economy and get everybody back to work and our economy moving again. host: the american federation of teachers is under your organization. do you believe at this point that teachers may not return to school this school year? guest: i think that is quite likely. we will be doing things remotely and online the rest of the school year. some schools have already done that. some schools of h

working with i'm organizations and companies, association manufacturing, that is textile organizations and so on in terms up rapidly our capabilities to get what you need. ow, let's think about what mobilization means. it can mean, for example, a factory. week, we were called last and they had three hurdles they had to deal with. they called my office, had to call to the treasury, f.d.a. and hhs to clear the path. day.t that done that they started their production alcohol, moving from beverages to hand sanitizers, and as we speak a truck is towards new york and will arrive there tuesday to share a h the hospitals over thousand gallons of sanitizer. so that would be a repurpose. example would be one the president offered with honeywell. the , honeywell called white house asking for help from the president, and what they look, we want to do this new factory at smithfield. on a friday e morning. and by that night we had a in to hhs, they flipped hat immediately and i had honeywell moving people and equipment from massachusetts to smithfield, y in rhode island, and we're going to withinose

and every day, i'm working with organizations and companies, national association of manufacturing, the national council of textile organizations, and so on, in terms of building up rapidly our capabilities to get what you need. now, let's think about what mobilization means. it can mean, for example, repurposing a factory. so, perno rickard called us last week, and they had three hurdles they had to deal with. they called my office. had to make a call to treasury, fda and hhs to clear the path. we got that done that day. they started their production that day, moving from alcoholic beverages to hand sanitizers. and we speak, a truck is moving towards new york and will arrive there tuesday to share with the hospitals over 1,000 gallons of sanitizer. so, that would be a repurpose. a second example would be one that the president offered with honeywell. again, honeywell called the white house asking for help from the president. and what they said is, look, we want to do this new factory in smithfield, rhode island. they called me on a friday morning, and by that night, we had a contract i

we have the full cooperation of the american medical association in the educational and medical care part and then in working with the manufacturers, who manufacture the vaccine and stop other activities and develop their staffs. i think we can all be proud of the industry which we have in this country. it is another example of the know-how and expeditious way in which free enterprise through american industry can do it a good job. the vaccine was given to the industries middle of may, and within three months, the vaccine was being released to our national institutes of health as being a safe and effective vaccine. that gives me a good example of teamwork and very expeditious work by the manufacturers. another example of this teamwork and to illustrate this isn't a one-man show, we have with us this evening, dr. james a. crabtree, an associate dean of the university of pittsburg public health who will help explain how asian influenza spread throughout the world. >> how do you do, dr. crabtree? the asian flu has covered a lot of territory in a short time, but i would like to know how did it all get started? >> the exact point of or

we are also going out to our manufacturers picking up the supplies, the associates are going out to do it themselves, in order to be able to distribute them. and we're waiving all penalties for our manufacturers in terms of if they deliver a load that's smaller than usual anything we can do to keep the supply chain running so that our customers can feel that they're safe and taken care of and, most important, also being able to get their prescriptions. >> one of the things that you told analysts earlier this week in your first virtual analyst day, you've only be on the job five months, is you've been focussing online and you've seen a huge upswing in demand amazon has had trouble keeping supplies in stock. they announced that they are actually adding to people to try to keep up with demand what is your outlook with regard to that? >> well, luckily we had been preparing for an increase in business online. so we have been preparing our fulfillment capabilities as well as our digital capabilities and our infrastructure to be able to take on higher volumes because we've seen -- we've seen

today the vice president has a call with roughly 500 manufacturers organized by the national associationmanufactures to talk about ways they can be doing that. >> becky >> hey, marc we had scott gottleib on this morning and he was talking about how some of the biggest problem points you have, even in testing and other areas, is finding little things, the cheapest things that cost about a penny, something like the swab to stick it up your nose to swab to see if you have the virus. those are hard things to come by his idea was the federal government could pour some money into places that would manufacture those things to make it profitable so that private industry would step in >> i don't know that we're looking for the federal government to provide that the demapped is there to go ahead and produce that the pentagon has a lot of supplies that they've provided as well in their stockpiles that we're getting out to the marketplace too. so -- and one other thing, becky. we also have additional tests coming online, very encouraging we believe in the next couple weeks that would make the testin

chamber of commerce, the national association of manufacturers, the environmental defense fund, the nature conservancy -- this is just a few of the many. some of the comments that we've heard, they wrote that our diverse organizations recognize and agree that climate change is an important national priority that demands congressional attention. while we may not agree on everything, we believe that there is much common ground upon which all sides of the debate can come together to begin to address climate change, promote american technological leadership, and foster continued economic growth. in particular there is a growing consensus that the development in commercialization of new technologies are important factors that will determine how quickly and at what cost greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced. the american energy innovation act will help do just that. it will accelerate these breakthroughs and enable adoption of lower emitting and more efficient technologies. congress now has its best opportunity in more than a decade to enact significant energy legislation. that's a pretty stro

manufacturers are working to pump out products and the food industry association says the system willess if they stop hoarding. >> it's a demand issue, it's unprecedented the at of punches that has happened. the resilient food system is responding. >> with restaurants shuttered there's a surplus of food that goes to the service industry. one saw the marketing opening and converted the business offering home frozery orders. >> the retail supply chain is maxed out and the restaurant chain is there. what better way to get food than have it delivered to your door. >> one area we may see a shortage is inports. there's european imports impacted but that provides an opening for domestic products. >>> the city of concord has a web site to help homebound seniors get through the pandemic. it allows seniors to request free meals. the site says seniors can order groceries or ask for help to get them through the differ time. in the north pay, smart trains are not running on weekends, there will be, sr.is on weekdays when people rely on them. the soonest weekend service is saturday, april 17th. sen

says you know he was not threatening anyone and this is being manufactured into something that didn't actually happen. >> i want to associate myself with the remarks of a supreme court reporter, you know he was the most prominent liberal law professor in america who issued a statement yesterday saying what schumer did was completely inappropriate and he got to apologize. if that was an apology it wasn't much of an apology. he named the justices by name, he used words generally associated with inciting violence. he ought to know better than that. he didn't just show up yesterday. it reminds me of the speaker of the house tearing up the state of the union right after he finished speaking. we have a behavioral problem and i think the leaders of congress so it to the american people to act like adults and not engage in shenanigans like in front of the supreme court and threatening the justices by name. that wasn't enough of an apology to satisfy me and i don't think any republican. >> the chief justice issued a statement, rather rare for him yesterday but schumer's office followed up and said was essentially hypocritical becaus

>> tara, the american medical association in a letter to the vice president said -- asked for something akin to a manhattan project kind of program to expand manufacturing capacity so we could produce the supplies that doctors need, but also there is an issue of training. are medical staff basically trained to deal with something like this? >> well i don't know that we're psychically trained. we may see those effects down the line. but we know how to take care of patients. i don't think the training is the issue. the issue is that we don't have the supplies, and we're going the lose our workforce, as you heard. if our health care providers start to go down, start to get sick, who is going to take care of the rest of us? we know that our health care providers are now bei self-quarantined. many are being isolated. many are having to stay home to take care of their own kids who are out of school. and so we really need a plan in place. and it's a big systemic issue too. the more patients we're getting in the icu beds that we're either ruling in or out for covid-19 for treating, we're not able to take care of patients with other critical illnesses. so this i
