you also heard the head of the small business association there. i'm going to paws if he says anything else significant here. we are listening. small business association saying that we have the authority of $18 billion to provide loans to support lenders in this room. we are looking forward to leaving no money on the table. she looked around the room at the lenders in terms of that $18 billion. wanting to get across message to the market they will get out there and support small and medium businesses with those loans. brian moynihan saying, adding fiscal stimulus is the right answer. you have to get it out to people. one of the best quotes, ken griffin of citadel, that markets are working to provide stimulus through low interest rates and saying something that, i have been saying all along, if you're listening this is an unprecedented opportunity for refinancing an an opportunity to buy a new home. you will not see mortgage rates this low and easy lending for a long time. take advantage of it. don't sell stocks. refinance, that is the smart busines

thank you kind of sporty small businesses are right now the small business association and they're offering low interest loans where businesses have been hit so we're talking about metropolitan cities d.c. new york l.a. and also senate republicans are also now working on the face 3 of a coronavirus a board they're going to offer loans to small businesses where they actually the portion that goes to paying employees won't have to be paid back and that's the big problem here employees they just employers can't afford to pay their employees there in such a time but larger businesses are actually stepping in and helping like for example yelp which is the online search engine which gives reviews to small businesses now they're offering free advertising up to $25000000.00 to relieve to small businesses and also facebook they're offering about $100000000.00 in free advertising and although this is a very small amount to these businesses it could be very significant to these smaller businesses and advertising for a small business is so crucial so it is great that they're actually stepping out and w

to the story of small business and entrepreneurship and it's outcomes being an entrepreneur isn't a cakewalk it comes with risk often big ones according to the small business association only half of small businesses survive the 5 year mark in only one in 3 of those businesses get to see their 10 year anniversary. small businesses can fail for variety of reasons ranging from lack of market need and money woes to competition and pricing but none of these issues seems to stop people from steadily moving towards entrepreneurship. terry giles' is one of those people that is a lawyer turned entrepreneur where he built a large and lucrative criminal defense bar by age 30 both in dozens of a list clients but within 4 years the guy was caught the entrepreneurship bug left the legal field and never turned back and his book the 15 percent from tragedy to abuse 85 percent crumble 15 percent rise above he delivers the inspiring and compelling story of individual hardship and adversity begging the question why do some people overcome hardship while others do not joining us now is author and former campaign manager to ben carson teardrops results you've led a very wild life i have

these things are changing i urge people, if you run a small business go to sba.gov, the small business association or check out unemployment benefits. to at a time like this, we're seeing changes made to help sba the small business association or check out unemployment benefits. at a time like this, we're individuals. >> okay. i want you to stay on top of that one, stephanie, as you keep on top of those rules. okay. i want youo stay on top of that e, stephanie, >> before we go forward last night we found out a colleague p on top of those rules. >> before we go forward last night we found out a colleague of ours on the of ours on the third hour of "today" tested positive for of "today" tested positive for coronavirus. out of an abundance of caution craig and melvin took the day off to trace their contacts. we promise coronavirus. craig and al took the day off to trace their contacts. we promise to keep you tested. both are fine. they feel good. >> they feel great. >> caution is the order of the day. >> we're trying to play exactly by the rules. we help and wish they will come day. >> we're trying t

>> as of right now we just finished filling out the small business association form so we will be eligible federal or state funding in the future but right now all of that is up in the air. we are waiting for some help. we could all use some financial help right now. we still have to pay the rent over the course of this month and next month and into the next month which our insurance policies continue on during the time so we are not collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars right now and we are in the same shape. >> the national restaurant association sends a request, $100 billion in business interruption insurance and federal loan program for lost revenue. you never imagine the scenario you would be in this position but did you always have a back out plan in case you had to close your doors for a while? >> we had a lot of scenarios in place but nothing like this. we ended up shutting down our restaurants, not opening for take a right now. that makes more sense financially and from a moral aspect as well so we were never prepared for something like this. jillian: what is next? >> we are

with small business owners at 3:45 eastern time to address the response to the impact of the coronavirus. small businesses are among those hurt the most by the shutdown with the small business associationprogram that will offer up to $2 million per business to help stem the loss of revenue. lauren: today, the u.s. army band will hold daily virtual performances on their youtube channel as they attempt to entertain the american public at home. the concerts start at 7:00 p.m. on friday and saturdays at 1:00 p.m., sunday through thursday also at 1:00 p.m. featuring performances by the concert brand, and six string soldiers. cheryl: what is better than a cute baby animal to get you through the long hours at home on your computer. or your television. animal planet is going to air a 94 hour marathon of their show, too cute, featuring some of the cuddliest actors, basically it's puppies and kittens, folks. the marathon going on right now, will end saturday at 8:00 p.m. hallmark channel bringing bakeries mass movie may non, -- marathon starting tonight. espn is bringing back the ocho, it's got a robot fighting league, cup stacking championships. it's not the nba but we'll take what we can get a

economic stimulus ideas early in the week, not late in the week in last night's speech we saw small business association and small business administration loans and treasury department actions, that sort of thing as opposed to sort of massive economy shifting policies coming from this white house. the president has sort of toggled back and forth on how he wants to handle this and how big does he want to go and seems a moment of uncertainty at the white house. >> eman, has the white house made any effort to reconcile the different messages that have come out over the past several days about this virus? on the one hand, comparing it to the flu implying it's not that serious, saying that it's not a financial crisis but then saying that they're contemplating measures one would take, fiscal measures, to combat a financial crisis and talking about this as a serious disease. in two different breaths, two widely different messages. has the white house made effort to reconcile that? >> no. i mean the white house is sending multiple messages at the same time through sometimes the same officials and there's no eff

refinance, buy a house, do anything that involves credit and that they stand able with the small business associationo lend billions of dollars to small and medium-sized businesses that may get into trouble because of what's going on right now. i'm worried about the overreaction and the economic damage that lingers long after this ends. one of the ceos was talking about this is not the financial crisis where we don't know or it's going terms of economic terms. this is something that will have a natural end. you see it pulling back in china and elsewhere. and then at point what's left is the economic damage. i don't want us to go overboard in that sense. one of the things i heard you talking earlier in the show the payroll tax cut. folks on both sides of the aisle don't like that. of course they don't because the payroll taxes, when you go out, the waiter, when hearing to paycheck, that's the money that washington immediately takes and doesn't allow him or her to keep from their earnings. neither republicans nor democrats want to let you keep your own money right now or ever. they want to spend it for

relief on federal student loans and mortgages, disaster grants to help local economies, small business association grants, assistance for local transit systems, rental and mortgage payment assistance and grants for affected schools. house democrats say they will vote on a similar measure tomorrow. >> we've got to find common ground for the white house and the senate to provide necessarily relief for the manner in which the coronavirus has been mishandled by the white house. >> the president's point person on infectious disease, dr. anthony fauci, warning americans it will be a while before things get better. >> we will see more cases and things will get worse and they are right now. >> fauci who likes to avoid predictions without hard data today said how this plays out is totally dependent on how the u.s. responds. >> if we are complacent and don't do really aggressive containment and mitigation, the number could go way up and be involved in many millions. >> the plans for a payroll tax holiday is likely dead before it even gets off the ground, the house democrats say they have no appetite for a p

i want to talk about some changes with the small business association.nia. the department of motor vehicles, which has become a more pressing issue for many in this state. and some broader directives related to health clubs and gyms and gatherings. across the state. as well as a reflection on what occurred today in the bay area with six counties that moved forward with isolation procedures. 392 people have tested positive in the state of california. of course this will change tomorrow. that's 57 individuals, more than we had yesterday. it represents about a 15% increase. we still as of this morning have only identified, tragically, six individuals that have passed away. just in the last number of hours, two additional individuals have passed away. one individual homeless individual in the santa clara region. and one senior here in the sacramento region. we'll talk more about that tomorrow. beyond that, i want to talk a little bit about these new executive orders we've advanced. one of the most important things we can do, another tragic loss of death of a

the money that's being allotted in the package to fight covid, i know there's small business associationssociated with it. what about money for those who conditioni cannot go to work because they're not feeling well and won't get paid for those days, those hourly, not salaried employees? what about those who get to the hospital and get tests and can't pay for those? those who have health care but not that they can afford? >> these are the real impacts that people are struggling with. if you are wealthy, you're not asking this. but the majority of people that are impacted that don't have any kind of sick leave is what i'm focused on next. how can we have an emergency declaration so they get sick leave? i'll tell you why that's important. we have a lot of folks, hourly wage employees, who can't afford to stay home even when they're told to stay home, and that means they are out in the community spreading this virus even more. containment has to be theeoe ca sorry, you're not going to pay your rent. you won't be able to take care of your kids. can't put food on the table. we need to make su

so for people who have jobs concerned about losing them, i think whether it's the small business associationher organizations, you know, commercial banks with backing from the fed or the government, should be -- should be encouraged to make, you know, quick loans, 100,000, $200,000, so that people don't have to be laid off. that's continuity. when you introduce a u.b.i., you're breaking the continuity of what we know has been working to a certain extent. while you can have a conversation about u.b.i., that's fair. this isn't the time to do it. the better way is to say how do we keep people employed? have continuity? by the time you introduce a u.b.i., plim plemeimplement it, talking about a year. and we need to do something quickly. >> mark cuban, thanks so much for calling in. we appreciate your time. >> anytime, katy. thanks. >>> a containment zone is in effect around new york's new rochel. the city mayor joins me next. mt this is how it made me feel. it was like that feeling and you do a perfect high-five. everyone is really excited for you because it was such a great high-five. and then.

but a rough patch we need to get through i think that financing community, government, small business associationilable as well. you have to look for thoadz areas of cash to kind of help you weather this storm because you will weather it. not be a long-term thing. >> you talk about bars and restaurants we're talking about about you know, with the box office having its worst year in 20 years. all of those businesses, i mean, it has widespread 60 million people work for company it is that have less than 500 worker. what do you say to work withers there because we are expecting this senate to vote on the house bill that is an emergency coronavirus you know stimulus bill feds stepped in last night but can government help those workers is it going to be enough for them to cover their it rent to cover their food bills if they're not working? >> it is a really, really good question because they'ring loo at bills now. there's like a bureaucracy thing right even if something does get passed where do you apply for this stuff and how long does it take you to get funds and how long to wait to get money that

developed the scheme, i'm grateful for the conversations i've had with the federation of small businesses, the associations union congress. but i must be honest and point out that in devising this scheme in response to many calls for support, it is now much harder to justify the inconsistent contributions between people of different employment statuses. if we all want to benefit equally from state support, we must all pay in equally in future. many musicians, including harry styles, sir eltonjohn and the foo fighters, have announced cancellations or postponing tour dates due to the global health crisis. while music tours cannot go ahead for the time being, a large proportion of the production comes from self—employed people. hamish dickinson is a tour manager and record producer. and also i'm joined by yvonne 0wen, a self—employed holistic therapist who has had to cancel all my appointments while her husband is also self—employed. welcome to you both. sorry for the difficulties you are facing in the moment. does anything you have heard from the chancellor in the past hour help you? yeah, it does with the

small businesses are at a significant risk is the in person economy. the national federation of independent businesses this pandemic and the related shutdowns will hurt more than 75% of small businesses. other trade associationsovernment efforts to support them fail. >> has enough pressure on both sides of the aisle that they have to get something done. it may not be what either party wants, but i think it will be what folks like me and my peers want. >> the owners here and at bars and restaurants across the country say they're worried about their workers. most of them rely on tips. now they are looking to congress to help keep them afloat little places like this open again. shannon. >> shannon: rich edson, thank you so much. so let's dig into this. with the real-life face of people who know in business what has happened here, a couple of award-winning chefs were also business owners. thank you both. i know what a struggle this is for you all and your employees. if you making some really difficult decisions. explain with the last couple weeks have been like for you. >> last couple weeks have been incredibly difficult. we had to shut our restaurant last week after the ordinance from the mayor saying that withi

today at 9:00 the president is actually meeting with restaurant executives we know that the small business associationago, did you say? >> that's right. >> go to the state of illinois i want you to be - when you look up your state, make sure you're not looking up dot-com websites, always dot-go v look at development websites, that's where we're seeing more and more emergency funding. i just want you to know, this is being considered, your employees are being considered i know there's not resolutions right now. even companies, possibly credit card company, utility company, broadband and internet providers are putting a hold on a lot of people and company's bills to get you through this time. >> thanks. >> pete, we're with you. >> thank you. >> thanks for caring about your employees. >> yeah. >> all right thank you, pete. >> sending our love. >> thanks. >>> we've got a question for you, miss rhule. this comes from tess she's currently under contract to sell her home and buy a new one. should she be concerned about mortgage rate increases, et cetera >> her mortgage rates are not going to go up remember,

you need to find a banker that is part of the member network for the small business association. offering small business administration loans. the loan that you're looking for is a section 7-a loan. but believe me, when you tell your banker what you're looking for, they'll know exactly what you're talking about. you can borrow up to $10 million under these loans at very low interest rates. but arthel, here is the thing. for whatever expenses you have, meaning payroll, paid time off, insurance, utilities, rent, your mortgage payments, those expenses between february 15th and june 30th, whatever loan amounts that you got to pay those expenses will be foregiven. which means that the government is essentially giving you money to pay those expenses for that period of time. so we are telling our clients -- go ahead. arthel: so i got that you go to your -- the bank, google where the bank is near you. you tell them what you need. so do you get that money on the spot? how long does it take to get into your checking account? >> it's a great question. let's talk reality here. the law passed

. $58 billion to the airlines, $250 billion in small business association loans.ount of how much tax deferrals that a tax pay cut. it might be north of $500 billion. adjusting for inflation, that fiscal stimulus package is bigger than the bill to respond to the economic crisis of 2008-2009. the money will be used to keep the economy from grinding to a halt. secretary of the treasury mnuchin warning senators on the republican side that unemployment could hit 20% if nothing is done. the vps chief of staff market short predicting it will not come to that. >> nobody that i know is forecasting 20% unemployment from the coronavirus. this is a short-term challenge. we have seen those curves 8 to 10 weeks overseas where the virus had an outbreak. we need to make sure that the people impacted in the short term get the resources they need in a quick fashion. >> the white house looking for an additional $48.5 billion for government agencies for preparedness and response that includes $16.6 billion for the va. we will likely hear more about that this morning. 11.5 billion for

small business associations, and then $58 billion over the long haul for grants, loans, loan guaranteesthe airlines. they are lines running yesterday that without some kind of help, they could completely run out of money between june 30th and the end of the earth. the president indicated he will do what is necessary to keep them from going under. listen here. >> we are going to back the airlines 100%. it is not their fault. it is nobody's fault, unless you go to the original source. but it is nobody's fault. we are going to be in a position to help the airlines very much. we are going to be helping them very much. it's very important. >> the president warning yesterday about the virus could not be over until may be late july or early august. dr. anthony fauci says it is not set in stone, but the restrictions we are experiencing will last that long. there could be a short recession as a result of all the closures. america could be prepared for a big bounce back after that. >> sandra: john roberts of the white house, thank you. >> ed: we have some breaking news from the state of florida.

outlined for folks in the small business communities to also be able to get loans, to have to work with their local chapters of their chambers of commerce, of their associations that they are members of, also go online, small business administration as well as talking to local lawmakers, because there is so much information out there about the economic stimulus, but there are going to be in very short order different opportunities for small businesses to get assistance, so it's important to go to folks like the small business administration and to work with the local associations to make sure you are getting the right information on that. >> absolutely. last question to you, though, kevin is saying it's the first, second week of april for the beginning and something else in may, potentially, for how many people is that an eternity and they cannot sustain? is there a way to gauge the amount of businesses that will not be able to come back from this in. >> yeah. so, in terms of restaurants, i asked the new york state restaurant association, how many businesses will be shut down because of this? he said that 30% have already shut down and 70% are struggling tryi
