steve: dr.hony fauci earlier tonight at the white house. reaction?ner, your dr. schaffner: i heard tony when he said that and i agree with him completely. here in tennessee, our governor has a wonderful advisory committee on covid-19. i'm not on it, but a lot of my friends are. they are providing him good advice. he is listening very carefully. you would like to open the state in phases. ,e may open parts of the state others have to shelter-in-place for a longer time. we are looking at our data very carefully, and all of us recognize -- the governor said this -- we have to maintain social distancing. the mask is going to be an ongoing fashion statement. let's all get used to it, folks. and staying apart from each other? we are going to be doing much more of that going into the future. if you go too fast, as my kids used to tell me, dad, you are bruisin'.r a you will have that second wife. steve: what would force the mayor or a governor or a president to say, we must pull back? dr. schaffner: wel

steve: alan, thank you. dr. harris: i can't speak specifically, haven't seen the data in the area, but i do know that social distancing, or the term i like to use, physical distancing, works, and staying at home. we have seen that. the mayor of san francisco, among others, put in policies early on, so the data is clear that that has helped slow the spread of the disease. is why we need the data and evidence, because as we do reviews, local public health officials will be able to make decisions about where the most cases are, who has been most impacted, and testing will help that also, and then we will be able to really go back and do a retrospective review and make more informed decisions about how this disease spread. thee: dr. patrice harris, president of the ama, american medical association, joining us from atlanta. we appreciate you being with us. dr. harris: thank you for having me. steve: in a moment we turn to the economic impact all this is having. our telephones are open. in the eastern half of the , o

steve. good morning. there is a lot of pressure on congress. look, the relates is, they have got likely just days, not weeks before the money runs out on phase 3 allocation of 350 billion. the administration says they have already sent upwards of 170 billion out the door. and of course as you mentioned they're having kinks getting it out as fast as they can. they are warning if more money isn't added ied ad it could crul business. congress sought of session. pelosi and schumer are push for a larger phase 4 bill that would favor. mcconnell and mccarthy are trying to add a fast nearly 250 billion for that small business program. democrats blocked that at the end of last week as we saw. and it caused mcconnell and mccarthy to issue this statement on saturday. saying republicans reject democrat's reckless threat to blocking job-saving funding unless we renegotiate unrelated programs which are not imin similar payroll. this will not be congress' last word on covid-19 but this crucial program need

steve: dr.irx made it very clear brian and ainsley, over the weekend she is concerned about hot spots including pennsylvania and colorado and washington. and at one point said, listen, this is not the time to go to the grocery store or pharmacy. do everything you can ainsley, to keep your family safe. ainsley: yeah. she also talked about what's happening in italy and spain. and she said the new cases and deaths there are declining. obviously, that's good news for them and a glimmer of hope for us. we are behind them as far as our cases is concerned. she said if do you have to go to the grocery store the way it's working there in these other countries and seeing success, send one person from your family. wash your hands. she said stay at home if you can social distance and we will see that it starts to work here, too. there is a new study from the university of washington health metrics that reveals that the u.s. is still 11 days, brian, from the corona peak though will. brian: long island 22% of

steve. we know stacey abrams basically said saturday and sunday again choose me. amy klobuchar has made it clear she wants it, too. i guess kamala harris is doing his podcasts. so that's going to be the most intriguing thing, people unsure about the 77-year-old want to make sure that the number 2 is strong. steve: yeah there are a lot of questions about joe biden going forward. at the same time, when you look at the number of people who are staying at home, you know, they are just watching netflix or watching our program, they are cleaning their closets and basements for the 15th time, you know, the presidential race is so low on the priorities of everybody that i know of. you know, everybody knows it's going to be joe biden vs. donald trump come november. it will be interesting ainsley though to seat eventual debates because they have two very different presentations and two very different personalities. and as we know, a lot of people make up their minds who they are going to vote for when

steve, what are your thoughts? >> steve: that's exactly right.ut down on a global scale. that is why, again, just as we were discussing before, of course we try and handle the situation in the moment. but the real solution is to open up the world economy as soon as safely possible. to that end, i think we really need to take on this emerging groupthink i'm seeing all the around the world. which is that the only way you can safely be open is through widespread testing. testing, testing, testing. isolating. it's impossible, what you now know, to do that on the scale -- >> melissa: okay. steve, i'm so sorry, there are gremlins in your audio there. we are going to try and fix that so we can have you back in full force in the next block. and we will have more "outnumbered" in just a moment. for what you need!

steve? steve: exactly, ainsley.nd we heard yesterday from a guy by the name of billy green who is a small business person, he went directly to a small bank to get his loan and it worked out. but a lot of his friends told him, also small businesses that they went to their big banks and the big banks said they did not have any money for them. and, in fact, i know one family member who has been trying to do it. they were told by a big bank essentially we are looking just at the bigger companies because we can actually make more money. ainsley: make more money. i have heard that, too. steve: one of the other things the president said yesterday, actually 36 hours ago via tweet was that he was going to suspend immigration for 60 days. he said very clearly he wanted to stop the flow of coronavirus. he wanted to protect american jobs and also conservative vital medical resources. here's the president last night. >> this order will only apply to individuals seeking a permanent residency in other words, those receiving green

and welcome back to eat the press i'm steve mulgan we are rejoined. by line o. line of media media and legal analyst you know him he'll love them and you've got him for the rest of the show so like not let me any of you brought up fox news you tweet that you touch you tease it a little bit subtly unintentionally so it's the no no no that's good that's good so let me tell you and that's discussed what they're doing to fox news there is this organized effort now to claim that fox news has been presenting this information as we discussed in the last segment dangerously so to put people's lives at risk they're saying that most of their viewers are 65 and over and they're sitting there and these poor dumb 65 year old over people can't think on their own and they're getting all this if this information that's going to tell them for instance 74 journalists lined up professors i should say $74.00 professors have written a letter to rupert murdoch and his son. over at lakeland over at fox and they said that fox is a danger to public health presenting misinformation on th

steve: right. think that's exactly right, laura. as we have heard from the administration and from the governors as well. you know, the president has the ambitious goal and i'm sure the business leaders that you talk to would love to see the country reopen on may 1st. however, there are hot spots. and new york is a hot spot. while the middle part of the country might be okay to open, regionally you have to figure out it can't just be new york doing something. it's got to be connecticut. it's got to be new jersey. i get both sides of the story. >> i do, too. i do, too. and that's why we have to begin to think about reopening. what can reopen first? schools are a very important part of this. if you are talking about reopening schools. that's key to reopening commerce and the economy and getting people back to work. it has to be done in concert. we can't procrastinate. we have to start putting plans in place now. life will find its balance. this crisis will end. and we want to emerge from this stronge

steve.he headlines yesterday the president is now leaving it up to the governors, walking back what he said the day before saying that he had the authority. he is now going to work all the governors. he is going to have conversationconversations with f them in the coming days. he is also working with ceos of companies and union leaders to put our country back to work. because every state is hit differently. he wants to put it up -- make it up to the governors. we do have a huge show for you guys. we have kellyanne conway. she's going to be talking about everything napping washington. we have mayor bill de blasio to talk about getting new york back to work. we have cal ripken jr. on. and we have our doctors. we have dr. oz, dr. saphier, and dr. siegel, brian. brian: together we should all meet their deductible as a country with them as they continue to give us the cutting edge advice. look at "the washington post" today there is a program out there to get us back to work and reopen america. w

steve: right. and to ainsley's earlier point when she said she got the call from her friend who said we are going to be locked down until may 15th. that's the alliance of the seven states throughout the northeast. something we didn't mention at the beginning of this phase one is how does a state get to phase 1? and they made it very clear. and by the way these guidelines came from birx and also dr. fouchy in cooperation with the cdc. to get to phase one. you have to have a decrease of the number of coronavirus cases in your state over 14 days and then you can go to phase one. so, brian outlined the first part. so let's talk about phase one for the employers. if you are an employer and get to that phase one. you should encourage as many people as possible to work from home, telework. can you return to work in phases, which is good. probably be an a schedule and b schedule. people are staggered. people are social distancing at work. minimize nonessential travel, and consider special accommodations fo

steve? brian: yeah. it's going to be interestin intg griff. more sentiment people worry about our borders not only to the north where canada and u.s.s. have shut down the border to the south where the u.s. and mexican leaders have agreed we have got to contain this virus and crack down on the border never before. not something asking the government to take great strides to change policies with. and when 16 people test positive with the coronavirus coming across our southern border. have you it think about texas, new mexico, arizona and wondering don't we have to protect the american citizens down there? so we will see where that goes. ainsley, i don't know if you want to weigh in before we bring in the congressman. ainsley: yeah. this just goes back a few weeks ago people were on spring break in new york. many people did decide to go ahead and travel. this was the beginning of march and they were stuck in the country. this is important to know. this is for people trying to come into our coun

steve: indeed.sevelt said 90% of the ships crew of 4,000 be moved into isolation in guam. you've got a nephew up in washington state he's locked down right now in the navy. tell us his story. >> yeah, my nephew,colton, lewis, up there, i'm very proud of him and he's gotten promoted much quicker than i did in the marine corps and he reminds me of it from time to time but he's young and new to the navy and stationed up in washington with his wife and basically he's getting ready for deployment and they are making sure those guys and gals do not get sick before they go on their deployment so they have them locked down as a preliminary caution but we're dealing with a ship that has an outbreak on it and quite honestly that surprised me. i thought if ships were already underway it be very difficult, but obviously, i don't know when that ship took off, and whose boarded it since then, but my thought was anyone on the ship out in sea is in the best place right now, to be safe from this , and obviously that

steve: we have one more question from michael. caller: hello. i have many questions, but i think i'll ask that which is probably most pressing. firstly, i understand that a lot of people are talking about these hard times and what have awareut do you or are you of just how far the inhumanity has gone in this country along the east coast and how people are affected -- steve: to those people that have that uncertainty and that fear, what do you tell them? cardinal dolan: mike is onto something. there's a lot of people that are just crushed. there's a lot of people that feel alone. there's a lot of people that are scared every time they cough. and what do i say to them? i don't have much personally. i plagiarize. says, befrom jesus who not afraid. fear is useless. what is needed is trust. them, fear andto anxiety and worry, even from a human point of view, are counterproductive. it paralyzes us more. intoed to turn that fear concern. concern is positive. fear is negative. concern leads to fruitfulness and productivity. fear is counterproductive. if

steve: dr. anthony pouch you joined us earlier this week and he said he believes that if you get covid-19, you would be immune from getting it in the future, but again, the data will reveal that as this crisis continues. what is your opinion on that? dr. englund: i certainly would never say anything against dr. fauci. one of the things we have seen recently is that in south korea, they had about 140 patients that were positive for coronavirus, had symptoms, tested negative, and then later on tested positive again. the data i saw from the paper did not report whether they were having symptoms again, so we are not sure whether that interim negative test really was that they had cleared it and then got reinfected, or if that negative test was a false negative and they were still shedding the virus the entire time. coronavirus's can call the common cold, so we don't necessarily get long-term immunity against that. we are hopeful that we will be able to see some immunity from this and that when peopl

what's going on in some legal issues that are facing the media as well so ladies and gentlemen i'm steve malls let's see the press. you know. by. now all right ladies and gentlemen welcome aboard and as i promised this this gentleman that we're going to be talking to for the for the entire show today i've known him for lots and lots and lots of years and i got to tell you off camera he is as wonderful even more so wonderful than you would imagine by seeing and hearing him talk on camera he's lined up a litle media media and legal analysts very important he should serve sent through roll lytle welcome aboard my friend thank you sir thank you thank you thank you and here's to be able to do it on the fly which we understand by virtue of our 10 year in terrestrial conventional talk radio where something broke down all the cup. absolutely absolutely and you're always had to improvise you always had a flight and then i write a script to talk radio and i think that's that's really helped i know it's helped me and i know you've told me that it's a big advantage for you it's well so let me let me

steve: sure. famous illinois resident said just that once upon a time don't let a good crisis go to waste without trying to capitalize on it. when you look though this the state is going to ask for money it should be related to the coronavirus. anything past the pandemic you have to look long and hard of it. in illinois they are asking the federal government for $41 billion from washington to help bail out, among other things, about a quarter of the request is for the pension system. and you think that is just over the line. >> it's egregious. you know, it sets a terrible precedent. have you viewers all over the country right now that probably don't realize exactly what's going on in illinois. in illinois we are insolvent. we have been insolvent for a long time. our elected officials are trying to use this crisis to bail out their bad decisions. we don't need a bailout of the politicians. we need reform for the people of illinois the taxpayers need reform. we need the president. we need elected of

steve said -- yes, obviously. academic models is not -- are not what you can do in a pragmatic, messy situation. i give a lot of credit to pete pays and the incoming secretary of defense, bob gates. they managed that process very effectively to of art what could have been a civil-mil crisis. >> we will take one more. >> you've mentioned a couple of times the decision-making process and having the ability -- you talked about how bush was wanting to here different opinions. you have also talked about gaining different opinions from the the intelligence community, from academics, from people on the ground over there. the question i have -- which -- with getting so much of that information, how did you go about sifting through that? this is legitimate. this is something particularly with the things that you agreed with but also those that you thought was contrary to everything you've seen. the sifting through that and figuring out what was a concern and what was not. if you could talk about that process that would be

steve: okay. so that was briefing room at the white house yesterday it. is still at this point unclear exactly how the drug cartels are taking advantage or utilizing this particular pandemic for their benefit. while so many millions of americans are stuck in their houses essentially staying at home there is information are in a story in the "the washington post" this morning how mandatory social distancing appears to be working. two weeks ago that the state of california and washington state started that where it was mandatory, people stay inside their houses. and so far it looks as if the earlier people start the better because the curve seems to be flattening in california and in washington state which is great because it then slows the spread and it's all about containing it so that our hospitals are not overrun. meanwhile, our next guest has been inside one of the busiest hospitals in new york city every day. and frge hospitals are in dire need of more help. ainsley: this week he wrote an urge

steve: dr.one underlying issue and you essential don't have two, you so much less to worry about, but there's always the risk of exposure? dr. oz: the virus can surprise us in many ways and for that reason you never want to give someone, hey, the confidence that you're fine, but the reality that 90% in the cdc database of people hospitalized have a chronic issue. the study reinforces the reality and also what we are seeing on the ground as food for thought because it means that we have more control over our destiny than you might think and also means that the pros allowing folks without chronic illnesses to be the first ones to go back into mainstream life as we open the country is wise because that population doesn't have as much of an issue. remember, still means 10% of the people hospitalized don't have any issues with chronic problems. it's not that you're going to be be getting clean bill of have and won't have problems, we still have the cases. playing the odds. you're much better without

steve: kim?> i think there is a fundamental misconception and lack of clarity at the top of government about what the objective is here. you hear people use two different phrases. stop the spread and slow the spread. if our goal is to stop the spread we are going to be shut down for a very, very long time. if the goal is to slow it. think about what that means. it means it's still going to spread. it will still be out there. that's one in which as you mention you are gearing up your medical facilities to be repaired to deal with it. and you are willing to do some risk-benefit analysis to decide when you reopen. that seems to me to be something that which approach they are after. if it's the latter one we need to be more clear with the public about what that involves in terms of risk versus the economy. steve: tammy, we have to go right now. hold that thought. we'll come back to it. kim, thanks so much. one of the things we have been told is it's okay to put the economy on hold because the technoc

steve: mr.have heard from the experts is, you know, they see some glimmers of light, maybe at the end of the tunnel, but the curve seems to be changing a bit in the new york, connecticut and new jersey area. but, for other parts of the country, this particularly is a flatter curve and dr. birx says that gives us great hope. what about what is going on in texas? tell us a little bit about the situation there? because we have heard about detroit, we have heard about new orleans, what about texas? >> so initially they gave us less favorable projection that it was going to be a lot higher incidence and it was going to last longer. we are a little hopeful that that may last a shorter period of time and less cases part of it because the of the restrictions. i think we may have gotten there in time to prevent a massive outbreak. ainsley: do you know what happened here in new york, many people in the city were just trying to get out. they went down to florida. some people went to rhode island. some peop
