Actually voting on a select committee to oversee the money for the cares act. That vote coming up next on that, adding money to the Payroll Protection Program.

The aid package, the 3. 5 as it is called, aid package is expected to pass. Then it will end up at the white house later on tonight. This package will add 321 billion to the payroll protection problem which has been out of money now for seven days. House minority leader Kevin Mccarthy said 4. 4 Million People filed for unemployment this week are owed by an apology by democrats for letting the problem out of money because some of those people may have had jobs. Government told them they had to shut down for the health of the nation. They made a sacrifice, but they got sacrificed for politics last week. Shame on this body. Reporter during the debate, House Speaker nancy pelosi actually tried to blame Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell for the delay, saying it was democrats that added other critical things inside of this bill. Hear them say we held up this bill, when they are doing today with great pride exactly what the Senate Democrats asked them to do on april 9th. Reporter there are more than 700,000 loan applications waiting for this Small Business administration to process those through. Now a source with the sba tells me the administration is already looking at the language that is in this bill and changes to the program, to have guidance for banks out on friday. That would set up a saturday or sunday to start having the loans processed through the sba again. Back to you. Melissa congress is the worst. Edward, thank you. Coronavirus task force brief something scheduled to start in about an hour. Blake burman liver in washington with the latest from the white house. Blake . Reporter yeah, melissa well hear from the white house here in a bit but also today the spotlight is continuing on governors all across the country. Tell you speaking with white house officials earlier today, the white house feels that the Georgia Governor Brian Kemp went too far as it relates to reopening plans within his state. The white house and President Trump are pointing to kemps decision to open up things like salons and tattoo shops not a part of the fed rally suggested phase one guidelines outlined by the Coronavirus Task force. Elsewhere other governors are warning Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell to back off his latest threat. In an interview yesterday mcconnell suggested that states should note receive additional funding, instead should file for bankruptcy if need be. State governors are saying today that is playing with economic fire. That is how you are going to bring the National Economy back, by states declaring bankruptcy . You want to see that market fall through the cellar . Let new york state declare bankruptcy. I and we will never stop fighting for you. We will fight this to the death. Reporter states and municipalities received 150 billion in total in the cares act. State and local leaders across the country are calling for a separate 500 billiondollar relief package. Melissa, connell, the white house has expressed support for another package. They have not, they have not yet put a price tag though on how much they would support. There is also republicans in washington like you see like Mitch Mcconnell who thinks the pause button needs to be hit for the timebeing. Back to you. Melissa i might give myself a tattoo, im so sick of being inside. Lauren simonetti watching markets as well. Lauren . Lauren im with you on that tattoo, im so sick of being inside too, melissa. Lets look at the market because the dow closed higher for the second day, helping to trim some losses for the week, the nasdaq and s p couldnt quite make it barely in the red. The boost came earlier on from oil prices. Did you know oil up two days in a row and 40 in two days . That certainly helped exxon and chevron where youre looking at the dow. Materials, industrials also strong today but we got another bad report on jobless claims. Another 4. 4 million americans filing for jobless benefits that brings the total in the past five weeks of lockdown to get this, 26 1 2 million americans out of work. It wipes out all of the job gains since the Great Recession a decade ago. Now getting those americans back to work depends on treatment for coronavirus. A report that gileads promising drug, remdesivir to treat severely ill patients didnt produce desired results. That sent the market negative at one point. Check out the intraday chart of the dow when stocks went up 400 to down. Gilead shares also fell today, dropping 4 on the session. But take a look here. Amazons stock up despite more scrutiny on the companys business practices, after wall street journal investigation alleged that amazon used data from third parties to develop its own competing products. Amazon did respond saying this, we strictly prohibit our employees from using nonpublic seller specific data to determine which private label products to launch. While we dont believe the claims are accurate we take these allegations seriously and launched an internal investigation. Amazon, target, have been winners duringpandemic guys. Their costs go up and consumersdown grade the types of items that we buy. Back to you. Melissa all right. Over to connell for a big alert. Connell yeah, big fox business alert, on intel. Intels earnings came out in last couple minutes. Better than expected in the most recent quarter. On an adjusted basis the company with profit of 1. 25 a share. Almost 25 billion in revenue last quarter for intel. The stock is down in afterhours trading. There was fairly high level of anticipation that the company would report a strong number. It did in the most recent quarter. Its out look is mixed. Revenue is expected to be better than analysts had anticipatedded in the current quarter, Second Quarter, 1 1 2 billion versus an estimate under 18. The issue may be earnings in the Second Quarter where intel is expected to tern 1. 10 a share. A little below estimate. It doesnt plan to issue full fullyear guidance because of all the uncertainty surrounding coronavirus which you heard from so Many Companies. Better than expected last quarter a little bit mixed in the outlook. The stock down by 4 . Well revisit intel. That is a big one for tomorrow. Melissa. All right. Great stuff. The showdown across the nation over stayathome orders. Protests happening today in some midwest states as others look at plans to reopen. Matt finn with the latest from chicago. Matt . Reporter melissa, there was a demonstration this afternoon outside of the Governors Mansion in michigan. Last week in michigan there was a very large protest, hundreds of cars creating gridlock outside of the Capitol Building there. Americans in dozens of states, healthy get back to work, sick and have nearable stay home and or peoples lives will be destroyed. Many are not socially distanced, Wearing Masks raises concerns of coronavirus spread. Americas Third Largest city of chicago has been in a tight lockdown more than a month. Moments ago illinoiss governor extended stayathome order for a full month until may 30. He is making changes. Nonessential businesses at that take orders or deliver over the phone. Data suggests that illinois will not hit its peak until april or early may. He says people have to finish a good job. We are in possibly the most difficult part of this journey. I know how badly we all want our normal lives back. Believe me, if i could make that happen right now i would but this is the part where we have to dig in and we have to understand sacrifices we made as a state to avoid a worstcase scenario are working.

We are waiting for the house vote to provide additional funding to the Small Business loan program. Here now is ronna mcdaniel, chair of the Republican National committee. Ronna, actually i want to turn you to a poll a lot of people have been talking about today showing in pennsylvania former Vice President joe biden 50 versus President Trump 42 . Democrats love to point to all the polls where joe biden is winning. How do you respond to that . You know i always look at metrics in the poll and sampling. Ive seen flaws a lot of polls recently come out but i will tell you internally were monitoring states as well. We see the president in very strong state especially voters are asked who is best to build the economy back up after this virus . The president has done it once. He will be the right leader to do this again and i think that is the message well be taking to voters come november, that really resonates because people are afraid of their businesses being shut, their jobs being lost. They know that theyre going to need a leader who recognizes these issues. Especially as you just saw, democrats held up this critical funding for Small Businesses to be able to keep their employees on staff. It was such a shame. That happened last thursday. A week has gone by. How many jobs have been lost as democrats played this partisan game. Melissa yeah. That hurt the american worker. Melissa let me ask you, speaking of money, i dont know anybody who has any spare money right now. I wonder how much, when we hear about those Campaign Contributions and how much everybody raised in march and fundraising going on in april, how much of that is banked and how much of that is money thats promised but hasnt been collected yet . Yeah. So anything were report something money that has been collected. So nothing is about commitments for us. It has to be money come in through the door and i know every day im looking at our fundraising t has been very, very strong because i think as much as people are concerned, they recognize there is an election around the corner. Theyre very, very passionate about President Trump because they saw what he did with seven million new jobs and record low unemployment and deregulation, energy independence. Theyre afraid whether they see joe biden talk about the fact, yes, i am going to raise taxes, that will not be the right answer coming out of this pandemic. So they want to make sure President Trump gets elected. Melissa no, foresure. Never right time to raise taxes in my opinion. I dont think it ever helps. Let me ask you, certainly inflow of money, it has to have slowed down since weve seen unemployment go up. Im sure the same on the biden side. I wonder, does it change the plan Going Forward . You guys were so great at all of those rallies where you got people. That was was a way to engage people. How do you make up what has to be a dropoff in money as money evaporates from around the globe and not having president out there . There is no question at major events we would have the president or first lady and the Vice President out campaigning and have the roundtables and major events. Those all stopped for understandable reasons. The president is not interested in doing that. He is interested in governing, leading country through this crisis. Through the small dollar front, digital, mail platforms weve actually seen an increase in fundraising. I know it is surprising to many individuals. Smart of the smart investment we made early on expanding our email list and it is in the weeds, that well have a strong april fundraising number as well. From a campaign standpoint we added 300,000 new volunteers since we went virtual during the stayathome orders. We have seen a ramp up of actually interest in this election. I think that is because of the early investment the rnc and Trump Campaign to be in 23 states, with 800 staff on the ground and digital fundraising investment we have on the stage. Melissa what do you think will happen as we get closer to the election . Do you see the president going back out . You must be prawn storming what youre going to do . Do we have virtual rallies where he stands there, does his thing and people log on, listen to it . I. I think the president expects fully it to be out campaigning. He is planning on having 4th of july. We plan on having the convention in charlotte. We expect to make the case to the American People and campaign and hold rallies. Obviously well be taking in factors on the ground but come august, come july, well be further away from where we are right now. More testing will have been done. Youve seen the president harness the private sector in a way like we never seen. Already testing is ramped so much were mopeful were out campaigning real soon. Melissa thank you, ronna mcdaniel.

Connell many universities are looking at next steps to bring students and faculty back. Many have not outlined a specific plan how to do it. Mitch daniels has, Purdue University president , former governor of indiana joins us now. I want to go through specifics of your plan, governor. It is quite specific. I was reading through it yesterday. How did you come up with it . You must have been talking to a lot of people . What is the process . You give us too much credit. We dont have a plan yet. I illustrate ad number of specifics that illustrate a overall strategy or over all intention that we have to resume what we think is essential part of a highquality education which is the oncampus experience. Were not wedded yet to any specific steps and dont pretend we have all the answers. What we have said is that, we view this as a problem to be tackled if at all possible and if were going to do it well we got to start now. Connell that is an important distinction because that talks or speaks to the flexibility you have to have or youre saying that you have considering things could obviously change. On the screen i will go through some of the steps that you talked about in your note yesterday. You talked about spreading out classes across days and time that would reduce size. You talked about online instruction for students own campus, protecting Vulnerable Community groups, allowing them to work remotely, faculty and staff. I want to ask you about them, pretesting of students and staff before the semester. Then setting aside designated space for quarantine for anyone who tests positive. You want to economic with the least vulnerable groups for the virus and antibodies. For testing you can you can ramp it up at your own university to test everybody before they come back in august . I dont know about everybody but we think we can test a large percentage, maybe others on arrival because we have one of the finest, happen to have one of the finest veterinary medical hospitals in the country. We have a bs l2 laboratory. It has been approved and it is doing testing thanks to purdue, the turnaround time in indiana statewide dropped from seven days to one last week. So we have, we are selfreliant in ways that maybe not everybody else is. But the examples you gave, i think are highly likely to make up, one way or another part of a fall strategy but they will be augmented by i know many more changes, possibly incruding our entire fall calendar. Connell yeah. You talked about that one issue you talked about was, be curious to see how you came to this, how that discussion went down, the quarantine. Students, say for example, test positive during the fall i guess they wouldnt be sent home but sent somewhere else on campus for a couple weeks or . Thats right. We have wherewithal to do that if numbers dont get too big. What i said a minute ago we might change our, one reason to do that, minimize the extent people are coming and going. That is to say, to not have as many breaks and maybe end a little sooner. And so once again, if there are people and there will be, who test positive, we do want to move them aside as fast as possible. Let me just make another point, connell, something very different about our environment than so many others. Were one of the youngest cities in the country, fifth youngest city in the country because of the presence of perdue at west lafayette. Median age is 21 1 2 were. 80 of the Purdue Community is under 35 years old. Were learning, ring of risk of death or searness of illness is at those groups is zero. Were aimed protecting the faculty and staff and people with vulnerable comorbidities from the broader population. Connell right. You talking about having some of them work remotely which i thought was interesting. One more question i want to squeeze in here before we let you go, governor on athletics, if i might. Purdue is in the big 10 conference and a big part of those big schools in terms of a being a revenue generator is college football. What kind of discussions for the fall, will there be a football season of the big 10 in the fall . Is there any discussion moving it to the spring . What are you guys talking about there. The answer is a worried discussion. You can bet it us an active one. Yes, things as, heretofore radical moving to the spring have been suggested. Shorter seasons. Big 10 only season. I happen to be about as rabid a sports fan and boilermaker fan as there is but, i cannot tell people here with any confidence at all that even if we can resume the heart of our mission, teaching and research, unconditions of safety and preparedness for all, i cant, i cant at this point say that it is going to make sense, going to be prudent to gather thousands of people in the same place even for something we enjoy as much as sports. Connell right. Okay. Well check back with you on that. Interesting to discuss this. Im sure other College President s are having similar discussions. Thank you, governor. Mitch daniels, the president of Purdue University. Melissa . Melissa first major sporting event amid the pandemic.

Roughly half of the Chinese Restaurants in the United States have closed because of the covid19 pandemic according to a new study. Here is larry law, owner of a saved Chinese Restaurant in washington, d. C. , whose clients include former president s and the rolling stones. Your restaurant is called meiwe. Your lights have been on for 18 years. This is terrible time. Why do you think Chinese Restaurants are getting hit so harder . Not like youre importing food from wuhan . Is there unfair prejudice against Chinese Restaurants do you think . Good afternoon, melissa. Great to be on your show. Ive been following you since cnbc. Melissa oh, thank you. The chinese, the restaurants in general was hit pretty bad for the last few months, for last month 1 2, but actually the Chinese Restaurant have been hit harder since the wuhan incident there. So people, even the dont want to go to the Chinese Restaurant because they feel like they might be infected by the virus but it is kind of crazy thinking [inaudible]. When we have the Chinese New Year going on, a lot of cancellations, a lot of parties have to be canceled because people afraid to go to Chinese Restaurant. So Chinese Restaurants in general was hit pretty badly, quite a few months away. Melissa i know, im desperate for chinese food myself. I went own seamless to order tonight. Normally 1000 come up in my neighborhood. There is only one Chinese Restaurant will deliver to my house right now. What are you doing to battle back . I mean you had the lights on for 1years . You were a fighter, born in a war zone. What are you doing to try and reopen . We still in the process of waiting for the government to give us the order. And also to see how the curve of the virus going on now in our area. Maybe we plan on maybe april, sometime in may, early may, we can reopen in smaller scale, just for delivery and takeout. Weve been cleaning the restaurant and cleaning melissa trying to get i have no doubt. You were born in a war zone. Youre a worker. You know what youre doing. Youre trying to get a ppp loan. You got some rent abatement. What other things are you trying to do and has it been really hard . Tell us your story about that . The most important part is how to get our employees support because they have been laid off for more than a month now. We tried to see what we can help them financially. So, we tried to get back to open, you know, sooner, so they can go back to work to support their families too. So it is kind of a chance to virus here because the restaurant close, all the staff have to be home and all these things. Melissa well, larry, we wish you the best, and when you reopen, i will get on a train and come down there and come to your restaurant because im dying for chinese food. I would also love to meet you.

Connell what a good guy, what a fun guy. I will say i can top larry, melissa. Ive been watching you since little house on the prairie. That is a different story. We have different story from the Federal Reserve with its Balance Sheet. Edward lawrence joins us middle of all this right now. That is quite the transition, edward . What is the Balance Sheet . Infinity . Reporter how do you handle that hands significance. The fed Balance Sheet is growing week by week. 6. 6 trillion, that is record territory, growing 255 billion in the past week but what is interesting now the fed has a line item in there now buying the Payroll Protection Program loans from the banks. They bought 2. 9 billion worth in the past week. What it does, frees up Balance Sheet for banks to turn around, lend more money, amplifying more money to get out there. Federal reserve chairman jay powell is saying he do anything, keep keeping fed funds rate zero, main Street Lending facility, giving loans to companies up to 10,000 employees around loans of 2. 5 billion and Federal Reserve buying ppp loans oaf the banks Balance Sheets. A direct lending, opening up a facility for direct lending to state and local governments. The feds Balance Sheet in record territory, 6. 6 billion. When all said and done, at the end of the year we could see 10 trillion on the fed Balance Sheet. Back to you. Connell amazing what happened in the the last month. Thank you, edward lawrence.

Melissa american Truck Drivers own the front lines but with a shortage of drivers these essential workers are feeling pressure as the nation prepares to reopen. Jeff flock joining us from thornton, illinois, with all the details. Jeff . Reporter melissa, some people said there was a pretty major truck Driver Shortage before the whole Coronavirus Business and apparently only gotten worse. This is the oasis, the hinsdale oasis here at thornton. Look at these numbers. 21 states and district of columbia have shut down the department of motor vehicles. That means no new drivers can get their cdls, that is their commercial drivers license. They usually turn out, the industry turns out 20,000 or so new drivers each month. At least they were before the problem with the virus. Now it is closer to two or three thousand. If this economy gets roaring again, according to the folks at the commercial vehicle training association, were going to be in trouble. Listen. But if the estimates hold youre not only going to see Driver Shortage return, you will see the Driver Shortage on steroids because were not producing the same number or level of drivers that we would on a normal year. Reporter and the thing is, melissa, the Trump Administration has done its best to ease regulations in terms of drivers. If your license was coming due to be renewed and dmv was closed they said dont worry about it, you can just go ahead but you cant get a new license unless the governors open the dmvs in those closed states. As we debate what ought to be open, that one is on the table too because those truckers as you point out right now, theyre doing yeomans work, getting supplies where they need to go and store shelves staying stocked. Melissa. Melissa boy, talk about something were dependent on, wow, jeff, thank you for that. Connell . Connell lets go to the state of georgia now will be the first state to allow nonessential businesses to reopen. That gets going tomorrow. We find out last night the Trump Administration is not so sure about this. Take a listen. I disagree strongly with his decision to open certain facilities which are in violation of the phase one guidelines for the incredible people of georgia. I think it is too soon. And i love the people and i love, i love those people that use all of those things, spas and beauty parlors, barbershops, tattoo parlors, i love them but they can wait a little bit longer, just a little bit. Not much. Connell so the president is talking about Governor Brian Kemps decision in georgia. Were joined by Shannon Stafford who is the owner of new era hair studio in the state. Shannon, you have the go ahead, but it is your decision about whether or not to reopen. Tell us whether you do plan to reopen tomorrow, and how you feel about it. Hey, you guys. Yes, i plan on reopening the salon. I have staff that will come in to perform services while others are deciding to wait it out. Me personally im going to go ahead and start taking a couple of clients. Today i came in the salon to try to make sure that i am preparing things as far as taking precautions and im sanitizing Different Things and, just coming up with a protocol so that when the clients come in i can make sure im safe and that the clients are going to be safe to the best of my ability as well. Connell you know the president , you heard there, said last night, he thinks it is too soon for these types of businesses an, some local officials have said the governors decision is irresponsible or too early. What do you say to that . Were you having any second thoughts yourself or are you anxious getting back to start making money again . To be honest with you, my personal thoughts, you know, a lot of nonessential businesses have been allowed to remain open, not really allowing us to slow down in the beginning of all of this. This particular industry, a lot of us have not slowed down with providing services, whether were going to someones home or theyre coming to us, and that is more of a concern of me how were moving forward with continuing to provide services to clients. Because it puts us in a more vulnerable situation versus inside of a salon. So, im happy that we are able to reopen to make sure that we are in more of a controlled environment. Connell so you think you can do it safer there in the salon, which is interesting. How specifically, you mentioned a moment ago, coming in early, to get things set up. What are you doing differently . How will it be different than somebody normally came in a few months ago . We put a sign on the door, states no mask, no entry. That will be important before entering the salon, to make sure you have your mask. Followed by going to the restrooms to wash your hands. You will come in to sign in. It will be very vital that every stylist sanitize their stations after each klein. We are also putting things in order so that after every client, each client will bible to get their own coverup, their own smock. Connell right. Different things like that. So we can swap these things out so that you have your own personal garment that will be one of the things well definitely implement to try not to crosscontaminate anything that were touching. Connell you get any sentence how your clients feel about it. We have been joking around about haircuts. We havent been getting a haircut. Im planning to let my hair go straight up so it is out of the camera shot at some point. It is what it is. At the same time, people, others said were a little bit cautious about getting out to change our practices. You made your decision, you decided i will go for it. Your clients have to make a similar decision. Have you spoken to any of them, what theyre thinking about . We should probably check back with you in couple weeks to see how it goes . As of right now i have actually have clients who are looking to book appointments. Im decided only taking a couple clients a day, to insure theyre not overlapping or on top of one another. That will be something thats vital, to making sure we try to maintain as much space in between each other as possible. So right now the clients, theyre very excited a lot of clients have already been receiving for those who are okay with doing hair out of their homes and things like that. A lot of people have not stopped getting groomed. Opening up salons to allow us to do it safer way. Connell shannon. We wish you nothing but the best. We hope this all works out. And we will. We will check back with you in a couple weeks as georgia gets started before many of the other states. Okay. Melissa . Melissa navigating uncharted territory.
