if i can have a personal moment of reflection, when herman cain was president of the national restaurant association i was chair of the hotel and lodging association. we worked together for many, many years and just a first class individual who loved our industry and loved supporting the men and women who are in today's world attempting to still make a living in travel and tourism. >> yeah, no question. glad you shared that. thank you. to the economy here, you, these other ceos are making had the point that many economists have made as well as health officials but economists that to open the economy you need to get a handle on the outbreak first in effect. tell us in particular how that is true in the travel industry. >> well, certainly we as an industry, every segment of travel and tourism, we're all working together it. you saw the ceos who signed on were from the once thought of disparate entities of travel and tourism, airlines, credit card companies, lodging, but now we work together. we speak with the unified voice, so through the u.s. travel association we wrote to our leaders, our government

. >> reporter: now, according to the national restaurant association, the pandemic could cost the industry up to $240 billion nationwide. but an analysis of 30 million chase credit card and debit card show that higher restaurant spending predicted that rise in covid cases in many places, while higher grocery spending predicted slower spread in many communities across the country. now, adding more tables outside will only help if diners have the appetite to go outside and be out in the community. the first test of whether or not they have that appetite will be friday night when permitted restaurants are allowed to start serving along that area that is now outdoor dining. marcus? >> appetite indeed. wishing them the best out there, too. >>> well, new at 11:00 for you, there is one more place in the east bay. this is where you can get tested for covid-19. the city health urgent care site is located in alameda's research park at marina village. it's open today. you can actually see those lines of people there waiting to get tested. 500 people can be tested each day. those appointments are enco

of the national restaurant association here's a look back at cain in 2012. as a businessman that's what we do we assess and we evaluate you know see it before and not make decisions based upon the knee jerk reaction now kaine was just getting ready to kick off his new show on newsmax t.v. and was very excited about it but unfortunately was only able to tape one episode before being hospitalized and mentally ill growing up and during the $22.00 election cain always had a special place in my heart you know not really with anything as far as politics but he also was a boilermaker up the purdue university grad just like myself so many of us and other boilermakers across the country are mourning his death today and alumni you know we saw the photo obviously of herman cain at that rally louis girl could not attend the rally. so the update on that house how any update is he doing any better he's appearing to be asymptomatic i think exactly yes so he's a systematic so no symptoms but you'd also have congress you know in an uproar after he did test positive because h

of the national restaurant association cain was just getting ready to kick off his new show on newsmax t.v. and was really excited about it but unfortunately was only able to tape one. so before being hospitalized and you know growing up and during the 2012 election you can always had kind of a special place in my heart not because of his politics but he actually got his master's in computer so also a great guy one of your own yesterday we talked about the news of representative louie gohmert testing positive for kobe 1000 he was supposed to be at trump's rally last night what's the latest with him yesterday we saw yesterday congress in a complete uproar after he did test positive because he was actually seen all over the halls of congress not wearing a mask especially with this video showing gomer walking with attorney general bill barr just before tuesday's hearing both not wearing masks now bar was tested and his results did come back negative but they say he will be tested every day for the next 2 to 3 weeks for safety measures now as we just saw that video of all those people walk

i'm curious, the national restaurant association as you know has been pushing congress hard for some relief for guys like you and the restaurant industry itself. it's an uphill battle, but this would go way beyond the protection program. how do you feel about it? >> i think it has to happen. it not just restaurants, we talk about that. and just hearing in fact that our restaurant industry is almost 9% of our total work force in texas, so, once you start to see restaurants close, it doesn't just affect-- it will put a huge strain on unemployment, but also. >> it's your farms, the whole good chain. it goes just beyond restaurants. once restaurants close, you take away farmers, ranchers, fishermen, you take away people who do linen, wine companies, beer companies, it's a rolling trickerdown effect to the whole economy. the national restaurant association or ric are asking for $120 million and in two years, they'll put billions back into the economy. without the restaurants it doesn't work. everything is affected. you're going to the grocery store, every price will go up, so, it's a big f

experience in republican politics, cain was chief executive of godfather's pizza, ran the national restaurant associationthe soul of america. he's being laid to rest in georgia this afternoon at south. he was celebrated in a ceremony at historic ebenezer baptist church in atlanta. president obama made this call to action. >> george wallace may be gone, but we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators. we may no longer have to guess the number of jelly beans in a jar in order to cast a ballot, but even as we sit here, there are those in power who are doing their darnedest to discourage people from voting by closing poling locations and targeting minorities and students with restrictive i.d. laws and attacking our voters rights with surgical precision, even undermining the postal service in the run-up to an election that's going to be dependent on mail-in ballots so people don't get sick. if we want our children to grow up in a democracy, not just with elections, but a true democracy, a representative democracy, and a big-hearted tolerant in

more from sean kennedy, the national restaurant association national vice president of public affairsan, this is only the latest kind of threat on restaurants, that even if you're trying to do things the way the state outlines all it takes, you know, someone getting back to him, well, they weren't quite exactly social distancing and do that a number of times you're out again. what do you think of it? >> the biggest challenge facing us right now, neil, it has been four months since we've seen restaurants shut down, allowed to reopen in some form or fashion, just over the past two weeks, almost within hundred thousand restaurants have been told they need to close their doors again. restaurants don't have on-off switches that work well. it is capitally intensive to shut down a restaurant. it is incredibly capital intensive to start back up. we are industry have 15 days capital on hand. when the restaurant owners say we'll give keys back to the bank. we're out. that is problem if you're the nation's largest private sector employer. neil: what happens invariably, a lot of governors, mayors

according to the national restaurant association the pandemic could cost the industry up to $240 billion across the nation. credit cards show higher restaurant spending predicted a rise in covid cases. higher grocery spending predict add slower spread of covid cases. adding more tables outside is something the downtown association has been pushing for but we'll have to see if people have the appetite to dine outside, while there is a surge in coronavirus cases here in the bay area and across the state. those planters will start moving around 9:00 this morning. we'll show you online and in our midday news. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> all right. well, i have more on those numbers kris was talking about. the bay area added close to 1,000 additional cases yesterday. santa clara andmore than 700 pe area have died. >>> mounting evidence wearing a mask does not just protect the people around you but protects you as well. ucsf doctors found masks prevent a person from inhaling large amounts of covid if they are exposed. the lead doctor says their data is from several recent

cain left godfathers in 1996 to serve at the national restaurant association ceo and on the role thatis connection with the republican party. he had a field of presidential run in 2,000 and then sitting on corporate boards hosting radio shows and writing syndicated columns. after an unsuccessful senate run he set his sights on the presidency yet again. >> people out there in your own state, political scientist saying he's not going to get one or 2%. >> i know that and i'm going to remember his name. >> cain's campaign for the 2012 republican nomination can best be summed up with 999, his plan for a flat 9% ten tax rate. >> 9% ought to be good for the fellow of the other men. >> dropping out after he was accused of sexual misconduct which he denies. >> i will continue to be a voice for the people. >> the later years, cain remained a active conservative voice on tv and radio and cochair of black voices for trump. he's also a minister and stage iv colon cancer survivor. he leaves behind two children, grandchildren, his wife of more than 50 years, gloria. fox news. >> bret: herman cain wa

according to the national restaurant association the pandemic could cost the industry nationwide up to240 billion. but, at the same time, an analysis of 30 million chase bank credit and debit cards shows that higher restaurant spending predicted a rise in covid cases. higher grocery spending predicted a slower spread. so adding more tables outside is something that the downtown restaurant association, the downtown association has been asking for. we'll have to wait and see if diners have the appetite to go out and about as those covid cases are surging here in our nine bay area counties and statewide. laura? >> that's right. they sure are, kris. in fact, the bay area itself added close to 1,000 additional covid cases just yesterday. santa clara county and contra costa counties added up the most. sadly more than 700 people in the bay area have died. >>> laura, there's mounting evidence that wearing a mask does not just protect the people around you but it also protects you as well. so ucsf doctors found that masks prevent a person from inhaling large amounts of coronavirus if they are e

right now, the national restaurant association has put before congress a bill to save specifically restaurantslion, the restaurant act. is that something you could get behind? you and i both know this isn't about, oh, we can't get waiters back to work. >> well, actually, that is part of the challenge. restaurant association will tell you that is a huge challenge for them. we see that here in texas as well. but i took a look at their recovery package. i think there are several key elements there that congress will include in the stimulus package because i agree. there are certain parts of our industries that are going to be slower to recover than others. we need to recognize that both for the workers and the businesses. that's why it's really important congress not just throw money around and hope it helps. let's create targeted relief that helps get these workers back to work, helps these businesses ride this out. i think that targeted, smart pro-growth policy, that will help. >> do you consider that some people aren't going back to work not because they love getting this money but they don't

industry, becoming chairman and ceo of godfather pizza chin and then the president of the national restaurant associationin 2011, he ran for the republican nomination for president, even having a kind of trump-esque viral moment there where he was topping the polls for several weeks. he dropped out of the race after allegations of sexual misconduct came to light. cain became a big supporter of candidate donald trump and then became a campaign surrogate. this is the last picture we have of herman cain in public, attending the president's rally in tulsa, oklahoma on june 20th. public health officials, you might remember, desperately did not want the president to hold that rally, crowded, indoors. herman cain tested positive nine days after the rally. he spent nearly a month in the hospital. while he was in the hospital, his staff appears to have been tweeting from his account. yesterday they posted an article expressing skepticism about a future coronavirus vaccine. just yesterday they posted this on his facebook page making fun of congressman nadler and his mask. the president tweeted his condolences to c

the national restaurant association says that since march, this constant shifting of directives has caused $145 billion shortfall for the food and service industry. fast casual chain mooyah burgers are concentrated in the three hottest zones, texas, california and florida. that has not stopped them from expanding their footprint as they put the finishing touches on of all places, a new location in the heart of new york city's times square. how are they pulling this off as the ground moves under their feet? we have the chairman and ceo to tell us. thank you for being here. i do not envy anyone in your industry and it was one thing in march where shutdown, okay, we got to figure this out, but since then, there have been so many changes. tell us what it's like and what it's been like in the past week and a half. >> thanks for having me. absolutely, it's been if anything, unpredictable. i would even say the only thing predictable is that there is no predictability. that's in a business that relies very heavily on data and habit and people doing things regularly the same way. so it's been inter

. >> reporter: the national restaurant association says that covid has put at least 20,000 restaurantscountry. so, the big test is how to survive. >> i see restaurant dining rooms that are staffed by a much more diverse group of people. i see restaurants that love you more than they ever did. i see a lot less attitude at front doors. a lot less small talk around the table: is the lady still working on her salmon? stop it. i see authenticity i think it's gonna be a while before people say, "the thing i really crave is the 18-course tasting menu." >> reporter: danny meyer is nationally known as a leader and innovator. he thinks the covid crisis has exposed an ugly truth: that the restaurant industry is broken, and now is the time to rethink not only how to social distance restaurant kitchens, but everything about the business model, from employee pay and tipping, to impossibly high rents. restaurants, he says, are essential to recovery. >> both for the economy and for--for life. there's 660,000 restaurants in this country. you don't understand, if you're a typical american, that our indu

the head of the national restaurant association to run for president. what is going on in our inner cities across the united states of america, we should be elevating herman cain. we should be setting him up as a model and example of what the indomitable entrepreneurial spirit of america is all about. ainsley: i didn't even know he was sick. so when i got the fox news alert yesterday i was so saddened because his personality is bigger than life. he would walk in our studios and was always happy. he had such a resume. i was just proud of him. and when i got that news i didn't even know he was sick. did you talk to him while he was sick? did you -- did he call you? how is his wife dealing with this and the kids? >> it's tiff on gloria we did get a chance to going through sickness. we all learned of his sickness and it was after that rally in tulsa. shame on the people in the left wing liberal progressive media for attacking him from a political aspect. this was a great life. and it just shows how despicable they are in some of these news media outlets. bu

. >> reporter: the national restaurant association says we share the nation's concern over the risingses. adding, restaurants are now taking additional steps to meet social distancing guidelines. the use of face coverings as required by local, state or federal officials, as well as enhanced cleaning and sanitizing protocols and the emphasis on personal hygiene. all of our experts agree if you really want to dine out -- >> i think all epidemiologists are a big fan of to-go food right now. >> reporter: eva pilgrim, abc news, new york. >> our thanks to eva for that piece. this is a debate i have in my own house. he is pro going to restaurants. i'm still a little nervous. i've only been to one. >> sometimes you have to assess the situation and say i'm okay with that, i can do that. rot of information we're still waiting to hear about. >>> we turn to that urgent investigation into the shooter suspected of ambushing the home of a federal judge in new jersey. he's now also suspected of killing a lawyer in california and may have been targeting others before committing suicide. stephanie ramo

we received some new data from the national restaurant association and their survey, which reflects850,00026,000, their survey says 3% of restaurants permanently closed their doors. no doubt about it, the association acknowledges it could get worse especially if people are apprehensive about dining outside or indoors once they reopen here in new york. there is no doubt about it, the restaurant industry is in a crisis. the latest numbers show that over 100,000 restaurants have been forced to reclose because of local and state mandates. listen in. >> closing a restaurant it is so capital intensive. you think about buying all the food product. then being told, you're not using it, you need to ramp up again. everything has to be thrown out or given away. that is the challenge, it is so expensive to start a restaurant back up. reporter: it is very, very expensive for a lot of these restaurants to not only start up but keep their business going, especially here in new york city where many of them are operating outside and they're operating at very, very slim margins. it will be a fierce battle t

say thank you for allowing me to share this amazing information today we've asked the national restaurant associationment which is virus safe basically it's a checklist reminders that are done in a timely manner on your phones so all the protocols and you think about standard operating procedures for restaurants especially in the covid-19 times where they're looking at masks and gloves and everything that's clean. we've all been to airports and restaurants where people say that things are being done and they actually haven't. this is an app that helps with mitigation when you say you're done something, say you're cleaning the refrigerator and you're outside smoking the cigarette, i know that you didn't clean that when you said you did. it's really accountability of duty of care we're trying to put back the customer confidence through transparency that's the biggest part. it's simple. it's easy to use it's verification of stuff done in realtime. >> is it still not failsafe per se the geo tagging maybe helps but it doesn't make it totally failsafe. >> let me put it this way. it's 99% failsafe as oppose

brian: according to national restaurant association 8 million employees have lost their jobs, restaurantsohn taffer offering free virtual online training force, helping businesses rebuild themselves postpandemic and in the middle of the pandemic. john, can you believe the numbers, 4 in 10 businesses will not survive? >> well, yeah, 50% won't reopen. you know, brian, what nobody is looking at every month if my view is 4 or 5% to that number. each month is more casualty businesses that are closing, so these numbers are going to grow and grow and grow. we thought that the virus would quiet down during the summer, we didn't expect that there would be continued closings growth during the summer that the virus, in fact, is still growing. brien: so you teamed with a virtual transparency group and you put together this session for people who interact with you and basically free online course to help them out? >> yeah, and it's all based upon the trust that we have to transmit now, brian, transparency, how do we market, how do we promote, there's so many things that are different today and one of

farmers, restaurants and their workers who are suffering as a result of the economic impact of this pandemic. this legislation has been endorsed by the national and texas restaurant associations, the california and texas food banks, and a number of other anti-hunger organizations. it's time we put our restaurants and their employees back to work and feeding people and let our men and women in uniform volunteering at the food banks go home to be with their families. the serve-and-carry act will do just that and i urge my colleagues to look at it and hopefully support t as we dive into discussions on the next coronavirus response packages the feedback and ideas provided by these texans during these last two weeks 00 could -- could not have been more timely. i want to thank each of them. i come back to washington with fresh ideas and am eager to get to work so we can provide additional support for the texans who have been affected so dramatically by this virus. madam president, on another matter, before the senate begins consideration of the next coronavirus response package, we'll finish our work on the national defense authorization act. if we're able to get this bill to the p
