Quarantined cruise ship off the coast california. Laura im laura ingle. The virus killing at least 11 at home and the number of known infections topping 200. Nearly two dozen cases are in the new york city area and most of the outbreak centered around a synagogue where the rabbi is the latest patient to test positive. Meanwhile Health Officials across the country are working to ease concerns. The cdc, California State Health department and Governors Office of Emergency Services with the u. S. Coast guard are working to determine if covid19 is present on this ship. Once we have results from the tests, the cdc and the state will determine the most appropriate location for the ship to berth.

It is all going to work out. Ed Vice President mike pence visited Washington State where it claimed 13 lives. Most fatalities are linked to a nursing home. Theyre trying to find out how lethal the virus is. The mortality rate of 2 to 3 only takes into account cases that receive medical attention. If you model it about individuals who might be infected but dont come to the attention of any medical authorities because theyre either mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic the denominator gets bigger. When it gets bigger whats called case fatality rate would come down. A military helicopter delivered test kits to the cruise ship. They are trying to determine if it is spreading on the princess.

We have many Healthcare Plans now where its 60 , 65 less expensive than obamacare. I really believe well win this next election. When we do the other side is going to say okay, thats it, lets get along. Laura Leland Vittert is live in washington with more on this story. The president wanted to talk about his accomplishments. One thing he hasnt done much about is the national debt. As bret pointed out the debt has exploded to 23 trillion despite the president s Campaign Promises to pay it off in eight years. Now President Trump faces more questions. If you dont cut something in entitlements youll never really President Trump well also have growth like youve never had before. As the debate ended, the fourm and town hall ended the dnc war room twitter account reposted part of the clip we just showed you and then Joe Biden Retweeted the clip saying here is the deal, folks. Social is on the ballot this year. The choice couldnt be clearer. Donald trump will cut social and take it away. President trump traveled to scranton, pennsylvania. Its joe bidens hometown and home to life long democrats who voted for President Trump in 2016. The president says they should be happy with him. President trump this area of pennsylvania and pennsylvania itself has the best numbers it has ever had. It has the best economy its ever had and the best unemployment numbers its ever had. Scranton has the lowest and best unemployment numbers. Statewide polling in pennsylvania show the president and biden tied in a headtohead matchup come november. Laura Leland Vittert for us in washington this morning. Thank you. Ed for more on this lets bring in Kevin Mccarthy. Thank you, mr. Leader. The president will speak to the reporters. If i interrupt you im not being rude. Its okay. Ed a chance to react to this job number. 300,000 jobs created last month. The president touting that. 273,000 jobs added. The markets are uncertain now about coronavirus and the president left the door open to maybe wanting you and others on the hill to provide more stimulus to make sure weve got a good floor here. These numbers are beyond expectations, 100,000 more. This president continues to work for the American Public. Democrats are working against us. You will have a big decision in november. Do you want this economy to continue to move forward like 61 say theyre better off because of this president . Or you have a joe biden who wants to raise taxes, take you backwards in the other direction. This election President Trump will win. Ed a democratic voter said he went with President Trump last time around. Based on the president s record he wants to vote for him again. Were seeing that across the country. More states will be in play. The democrats had an opportunity by being a majority in congress. What have they achieved . Just investigations. Theyve issued more subpoenas than they created laws. The president has rebuilt the country stronger than it has been before. Unemployment for women lowest since the 1950s. Everybody in america has been rising up. I think people want to see that and they want to next century to be ours and another four years. Ed the president last night at the town hall saying based on what Chuck Schumer said about the two Supreme Court justices. If we said it we wouldnt be leader. This is the person elected to lead them inside the senate. Going to the Supreme Court and trying to intimidate the. In america we believe in the exchange of ideas. He wants to intimidate them because he doesnt agree with their ideas. Thats wrong. Why do democrats keep him as a leered . You talked how you think democrats have been investigating too much. The president wants to see essentially investigations of the bidens and ukraine and republican senator ron johnson says he is looking into it and have a report in the next month or two. Are you concerned given the fact and you and other republicans say enough of investigations lets focus on issues. Will it look political . In any place if my children were getting a 50,000 a Year Contract on a subject they dont know and holding up american taxpayer money to influence someone being fired based on who my son works for i think america would want to investigate that. Why with all these investigations avoid this investigation . Is it pure politics by the democrats because they would not investigate him because he is a democrat . If this person is going to run for president wouldnt you want to know not only his son but we find out his brother benefited and did you fly him on air force 2 into china where he collects a trillion dollars . Bidens insisted there was no wrongdoing. Ask you another issue. A federal judge is suggesting the attorney general william barr didnt reveal key parts of the Mueller Report that were shield. Some of it was redacted. This judge the trying to rebuke the attorney general saying he is hiding something that would be damaging to the president. If you want the facts on joe biden shouldnt we have all the facts on what is in the Mueller Report . This judge is 100 wrong. The Mueller Report did not have to go public. What did the a. G. Do, he put it public 98 . The only elements that he did not are methods, places that we should not know because wed lose the ability to have that intelligence. Remember, this a. G. Did an amazing job. He didnt have to show the American Public. He wanted transparency. Thats the difference between republicans and democrats. We were putting out transparency so everybody could see 98 of it. Democrats could go into the scif, read the rest of that 2 but they refused. This judge is wrong on this subject. Ed big issue, healthcare. Something that democrats used effectively against your party in the 2018 midterms. Last night the president said i did what i said i would do by getting rid of the individual mandate and a carcass was left over. The next point is critical. Ahead of 2020 quickly that he said youve got to elect republicans to take over the house. Make Kevin Mccarthy the majority leader and then well have a plan. Can you tell the American People to see if youre speaker before they get a Healthcare Plan from the president . What this president done lowering prescription drugs, the democrats have done nothing on it. The president brought transparency and did something about it. The challenge are we going to be able to stop the democrats taking away your healthcare . More than half of all the democrats in congress not only support but cosponsor medicare for all, 180 million americans will lose their private health insurance. Ed something litigated in this election. Mr. Leader, thank you for coming in. Well have reaction on the white house jobs report, coronavirus and much more. Kellyanne conway is our headliner next hour. Laura President Trump set to leave for tennessee to survey the damage from those devastating tornadoes.

[laughter] [applause] but he also said 150 Million People were killed with guns. He was running for the United States senate. Support me. There is something going on there. Ed that was President Trump being up repeated gaffes from joe biden suggesting he might not be competent. Lets bring in bill mcgurn from the wall street journal and former speech water for george w. Bush and what do you think one thing to say he makes a lot of gaffes. President is saying there is something wrong here and running against somebody not competent. I think its a fair question. Joe biden himself said a couple months ago on pbs and his age people have the right to ask some questions. I do think having watched biden for many, many years what were seeing now is different from gaffes. Im a person that think gaffes humanize candidates. The pundits watch and go oh, we got you. I could see myself making the mistake. These are somewhat different. People say well maybe its stuttering. It doesnt explain saying you were arrested on the way to see nelson mandela. Ed which was not true. The story he made up about afghanistan. He may not have been trying to turn away from the microphone. There are legitimate questions at his age. Running for president is a tough business. You know people will bring it up. Ed it is being brought up by the president. He was talking a lot about Elizabeth Warren goading her why she hasnt endorsed Bernie Sanders yet. Here is the president. President trump if she is a true progressive, which probably she is, she should have dropped out three days ago. Would have been a whole different race. Bernie sanders would have won five, six, seven states. She did him no favors. That was not a good friendship. Ed he likes to play political analyst. He is probably right. You dont win by saying oh, you drop out and turn over your votes to me. People drop out when they see no path ahead. Im not sure it was unreasonable for Elizabeth Warren to stay in. Your goal is for your candidacy. But the question is now will she endorse not only will she endorse Bernie Sanders but will her supporters go over to him . Ed the president weighed in and said he had the playbook and was ready for bernie to be the nominee. President trump i was all set for bernie. I thought it was going to happen. We get ready for things, right . So mentally im all set for bernie. I was ready to go. Then i dont think im running against bernie. I think it will be very hard for him to come back. Ed is there an element there as well, though, the president was wishing for Bernie Sanders because it would have been an easier race against him than biden . Thats what most people think. Just for President Trump, having Bernie Sanders would have helped the house races for the Republican Party in a way that maybe joe biden. Ed you put socialism on the ballot. He says it in more extreme form. I thought he was being fairly candid. I got used to this and it got taken away. Ed lets widen the lens. I alluded to the fact there will be pundits saying the president wanted the face Bernie Sanders and now its more complicated because joe biden could do well in the midwestern battlegrounds, go up to the northeast with pennsylvania. But on the other hand the president clearly based on this town hall thinks joe biden is a very wounded candidate not only gaffes but other policies. He will zero in on him. Joe biden has been around for a long time. A lot of how he has moved very far left. All the things that made him a moderate. He has renounced his own crime bill and thrown overboard the hyde amendment, federal funding for abortions he used to oppose. I think the president is going to have to retool. It will be a little more difficult because joe biden has a more folksy appeal and more to blue collar democrats. Ed it will be getting real fast. Thank you. Laura well, we are getting word that we are about to get the tape coming from the white house with President Trump signing the 8. 3 billion coronavirus funding virus bill 961 and it is a very big moment as we continue to follow the fight against the coronavirus spreading in the United States. As we break down some of the numbers on that, 8. 3 billion dollars is the number on the bill. 3 billion for research and Development Going towards a vaccine. You would see 300 million going to purchase drugs. And 2 billion helping federal and State Government prepare. A lot of money involved in this. Ed no doubt about it. The president we understand, a tape that will turn about a minute from now talks about the jobs number. This is important. The markets have been down again. Were seeing dow industrials down 830 points after a rough day yesterday. Lets not forget the day before was strong. It is bouncing back and forth. The president said we got a great jobs numbers, the fundamentals of the economy are strong and he left the door open to maybe asking congress for more stimulus. He has been talking about tax cuts 2. 0 for example. Maybe pushing a bill on capitol hill before the election. And so there is a lot on his plate right now. Well get these comments in just a short time here. The president obviously heading out now and is going to be going to tennessee. He is surveying that tornado damage. There had been some talk he might go down to atlanta, the cdc headquarters to sign this bill. Instead he decided he would do it at the white house before he heads to tennessee. Then in florida over the weekend. The bottom line is that he decided that he is going to sign it here at the white house and here are the comments. President trump and there is something some of you are coming along, right . So we are signing the 8. 3 billion. I asked for 2 1 2 and i got 8. 3 and ill take it. So here we are, 8. 3 billion. It is an unforeseen problem. Came out of nowhere. We are taking care of it. We have big news on the ship. A lot of things are happening on the ship. People are being tested right now. And just spoke to the governor of california, gavin newsom, had a good conversation. Were both working on the ship together. It is close to 5,000 people so its a big ship. Were doing testing on those people, okay . Any other papers im going to sign . I just want to make it clear that in terms of tests, we have provided all the tests for the state of washington and the state of california that theyve asked for. The production and shipping of tests weve talked about all week is completely on schedule. All of the cdc tests, the tests that are available to test up to 75,000 people being shipped to americas Public Health labs. Those are out. The private contractor working with cdc to ship to the private sector and hospitals has already shipped enough tests for 700,000 tests and the remaining lots are arriving at cdc this morning for Quality Control and should get out as we forecast this weekend and next week well keep ramping up production. As many as 4 million tests next week will be driving forward. Everything is on schedule for the tests. Mr. President , why arent you going to cdc today . He sent me, i am going to go down. President trump they thought there was a problem at cdc with somebody that had the virus. It turned out negative so well see but yesterday afternoon we were informed there may have been a person with the virus and they now find out that that was a negative test. Theyve tested the person very fully and it was a negative test. So i may be going. Well see if they can turn it around. We may be going. After covering me so well, this is for you. Job numbers just came out and they are incredible. The job numbers were tremendous. We picked up close to 80,000 new jobs from last report. And if you add that up its over 350,000 jobs. Job numbers just came out a little while ago and they were shocking to the people that were analyzing. Do you expect more guy ration . A lot of people are staying here and doing their business here, traveling here. They will be going to resorts here and we have great places. So far people come but we can have americans staying home instead of spending money in other countries and maybe thats one of the reasons the job numbers are so good. Weve had a lot of travel inside the usa. Do you think your Administration Needs to take more action to diminish the risk of recession . President trump all we can do is do what we do. Were getting a lot of business from people staying here. Ive always liked anyway. People are staying here and spending their money here as opposed to going to europe and other places. Now that will change when this goes away and hopefully that will be sooner rather than later. But people i would say virtually everybody. You saw the job numbers. People were shocked. You add another 80 or whatever it is. A lot of numbers from last month will be upgraded. So the job numbers were at a level that nobody thought possible. They were incredible. No stimulus needed . President trump i dont know. Well see whether or not the fed wants to stimulate. In my opinion they should. Everybody is but us. We have a fed that is not exactly proactive. Im being very nice when i say that. No physical stimulus . President trump i think the feds should cut and the feds should stimulate and they should do that. Other countries are doing it and it puts us at a competitive disadvantage and we are considered the most prime and it is our dollar that everybody uses. The fed should stimulate and they should cut. And why should germany have an advantage over us with Interest Rates . So germany Just Announced they are stimulating and they are cutting. Asia is, all over asia they are. China is tremendously. And were really not. And we pay higher interest. We have a higher rate, and it is ridiculous frankly. We should have the lowest rate by far and we pay more than other countries. Other countries are paying zero and less than zero you know very well and were paying interest, which is a very conservative approach but not a good approach. Were also competing against other countries whether we like it or not. Even our friends were competing again. Are you afraid that once [inaudible] President Trump countries have to take care of themselves. We cant be there for the next another 20 years. Weve been there for 20 years and weve been protecting the country, but we cant be there for the next. Eventually theyll have to protect themselves. It should have been done a long time ago. But you can only hold somebodys hand for so long. We have to get back to running our country, too. You understand that. [inaudible question] President Trump i will let you know later. Well have to see what happens. I dont know. I cant answer that question. Any concern that the coronavirus President Trump not supposed the happen that way but it possibly will. Are you concerned the virus is more widespread than first thought because of the testing. Is that why you arent going to atlanta today . President trump no, no, no. They had one person who was potentially infected and speaking of that i would like to go. You guys are trying to work that out. I was going to tennessee first in any event and then i was stopping in atlanta and going to florida for meetings. I think that they are trying to work it out. I havent heard that. I heard one person and because of the one person at a high level, because of the one person they didnt want me going. I would prefer going. Now that the tests came out negative, we are going to try and go. The most powerful man in all of media has a Little Something to do with the wall street journal, i dont know if you know. This is real power, right . You used to do what they did, right . He did it so well he is the boss of news corp. Rupert has something to say with that i guess. Good to have you. Good to have you. They treat me very nicely, the media, right, except for the wall street journal. How do you keep people from panicking . President trump i dont think people are panicking. Last night we did an interview on last night, a town hall. I said you have to be calm. It will go away. We do have a situation where we have this massive ship with 5,000 people and we have to make a decision. It is a big decision because we have very low numbers compared to major countries throughout the world. Our numbers are lower than just about anybody and in terms of deaths i dont know what the count is today, is it 11 . In terms of cases its very, very few. When you look at other countries it is a tiny fraction. We have been very strong at the borders. You have a ship with a lot of americans on it. 5,000 people, a massive ship. They want to come in. We have to make a decision. We are working with the governor of california on that. President trump were having dinner at march lag. He wanted to have dinner in florida if that was possible, th do you think Financial Markets are overreacting . President trump i think theyll bounce back. They are down 10 or 11 from where they were but they were up 70 so its a relatively small piece. I dont like to see it happen. I was looking for 30,000 very soon. It seemed days away from 30,000 and now we have a little more room to make up. But i think the country is so strong. Were so strong as a country now. We have never been like this. The consumer is generating so much because of the tax cuts, the regulation cuts and the things weve done. So i think were in great shape. This came unexpectedly a number of months ago. I heard about it in china. It came out of china. We made a good move and closed it down and stopped it. Otherwise the head of cdc said last night you would have had thousands of more problems if we didnt shut it down. It was a very early shutdown. Something we got right. [inaudible question] President Trump he is left wing and he has all people that are left wing in many ways he is worse than bernie. Look what he did with guns. He put beto in charge of guns. Thats a bad stance. He has a lot of people. They will be running the government. If he got in they will be running the government. They have people further left wing than what bernie has. It wouldnt be good for wall street i can tell you that. Plus if you look at his taxes, he will raise taxes incredibly. He will raise taxes more than bernie. I looked he is open about it. Bernie dont like to talk about it. Joe biden his tax increases are staggering. It is ridiculous. Youll destroy everything that has been built. You factor in Elizabeth Warren pulling out and President Trump lack of talent was her problem. She had a tremendous lack of talent. She was a good debater. She destroyed Mike Bloomberg very quickly like it was nothing. That was easy for her but people dont like her. She is a very mean person and people dont like her. People dont like that. People like a person like me who is not mean. Ed you saw the president of the United States there for several minutes addressing reporters. He is on his way to tennessee the survey the deadly tornado damage. Want to note he mentioned the fox chairman and chief executive who was in the room for some of those remarks. The focus was on the president signing the coronavirus spending bill. Emergency legislation passed by both houses of congress and now signed into law. 8 billion in aid. The president said he is not worried the coronavirus is more swied spread and asked about people panicking. He said they should be calm. It will go away. He spoke to the california governor what to do with the 5,000 people on the cruise ship on the coast of california and touted the job numbers before he left the reporters. Left the door open and prodded the fed to take more action. Laura those monthly jobs report out this morning as you mentioned with stronger numbers than expected. The u. S. Adding 273,000 jobs last month. The Unemployment Rate slipping to 3. 5 . A 50year low. Lets bring in brian brenberg, business and economics professor at kings college. Your timing is perfect. Were talking about the job numbers, of course. Theyre good and better than expected. Theyre not just good, they are way better than expected. February number 273,000 jobs compared to 175,000 expected. We also saw big upward revisions in december and january as well. You have this string of three months of momentum. Why that matters, these are backward looking numbers before the coronavirus. What they suggest is the momentum the economy is bringing into this situation and point to what kind of bounceback we might be able to expect once we get through this. That is where i think the real key is. What does it mean in terms of resilience . Laura the numbers are precoronavirus fears. Some people are concerned about a slowdown. Are you concerned . There isnt any question it will dip when we get into march. Coronavirus is having an impact. Things are slowing down. That probably will happen. The question though is how fast do we get through it and see containment and how fast do we get data that restores confidence . You want to know how does it bounce back . Like after any natural catastrophe, how does it bounce back . The odds are you bounce back faster and why these numbers are very important. Laura when you look at the Interest Rates that were cut on tuesday. What does that tell you . The market sort of shrugged it off. When you are talking about how do you repair supply chains and restore consumer confidence, the Interest Rate cut doesnt do a lot there. What it does is make sure that capital is available once businesses want to resume. So the Federal Reserve probably isnt going to help us through this period of uncertainty when it comes to how the virus is spreading. What it can do once were ready to bounce back businesses have access to the capital they need. Laura you sound encouraged. There is hope. We need good information. Thats been the issue. If you get it, the bounceback is possible. Laura brian brenberg, thank you for your perspective. Ed well keep watching the markets. Dow down 700 points now. The president is making his way to tennessee to survey areas just simply devastated by those tornadoes that killed 24 people. Our man on the scene is Steve Harrigan live in cookville, tennessee. Good morning and what are you seeing . Good morning. It looks like preparations are underway for a possible president ial visit here to cookville. Weve seen military helicopters fly overhead. Police have roads blocked off. Not many people left here. You can see total destruction. 100 houses completely destroyed. If the president does more than a flyover and gets on the ground it is not clear there will be anyone for him to talk to. Were speaking to survivors most of the day. This area was hit tremendously by four tornadoes. The worst one ef4, winds over 200 miles per hour. 18 dead here in putnam county. 65 people in the hospital and the line to give blood at one point reached two hours. Ed, back to you. Ed Steve Harrigan. Thank you for staying on top of the story. Well dive in there as well when the president gets there. Simply heartbreaking. Laura idaho mother lori vallow set to make her First Court Appearance today in the disappearance on her two children. The latest on the search for the kids and what the f. B. I. Is asking the public to do. Plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you. Customer really . singers safelite repair, safelite replace. But when i started seeing things, i didnt know what was happening. So i kept it in. He started believing things that werent true. I knew something was wrong. But i didnt say a word. During the course of their disease around 50 of people with parkinsons may experience hallucinations or delusions. But now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. The only fda approved medicine. Proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinsons. Dont take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. Nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementiarelated psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinsons disease. Nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. Tell your doctor about any changes in medicines youre taking. The most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. We spoke up and it made all the difference. Ask your parkinsons specialist about nuplazid. I will not be running for president in 2020, but i guarantee i will stay in the fight. What is your message to the women and girls who feel like were left with two white men to decide between . I know. One of the hardest parts of this is all those promises and all those little girls who are going to have to wait four more years. Laura senator Elizabeth Warren dropping out of the president ial race leaving two major candidates running for the democratic nomination. Both of them white men in their 70s. Dnc Communications Director Xochitl Hinojsa is here to discuss. Thank you for being with us. There is a lot to get through here. The first line in the political article this morning on the topic said and then there were two white men in their late 70s. Democratic representative barbara lee from california adding in another article the narrative that somehow women are less electable than men seems to be an issue calling the issue really disgusting. Where are you with where we are right now . Elizabeth warren and all the women paved the road for other women to run. Now this field shows you running for office and running for president and a woman running for president is now the norm. Look at our first debate. All the women on the stage. Do women face barriers compared to men . Absolutely. What is deeply troubling as donald trump just said Elizabeth Warren wasnt likable enough and lacked talent. I think you can agree with me, women face that discrimination all the time. For the president of the United States to fuel the sexism is deeply troubling and do i think there are a lot of women out there who are disappointed and want to see a woman president . Absolutely. I worked for Hillary Clinton in 2008 and 2016. These women paved the way to make sure that the democrats put a woman in the white house eventually. Laura House Speaker nancy pelosi even going so far as calling this presumed choice between biden and sanders showing elements of misogyny. Every time i get as the most powerful woman i almost cry. I wish that were not true. I so wish that we had a woman president of the United States and we came very close to doing that. But i do think there is a certain element of misogyny that is there. Laura when we hear that and hear the feedback coming from so many women across the country, how can the former Vice President and senator use this feedback in their campaigns effectively . There is no doubt if you want to be our president you have to reach out to women and women are the core of our Democratic Party. If you look at elections in 2017, 2018 and 2019 it was women that elected democrats and both of these candidates understand that. If you just look at super tuesday and elections to come. Both candidates attract a Diverse Coalition, Diverse Coalition that donald trump doesnt necessarily attract. When you have donald trump saying things like women arent likable enough, Elizabeth Warren lacks the talent, women are watching that and thats not coming from the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party understands that women have a strong place in our party and our country and thats how we are going to win this election by reaching out to these women. Laura another subject i wanted to ask you about were seeing joe biden and Bernie Sanders going at it over social, not a first here. An important issue for them as they try to win over voters even having a bit of war of words for each other an twitter. Accusing the other guy of not protecting the program. So lets show what we saw joe biden do. He tweeted this. Here is the deal, folks, Social Security is on the ballot this year and the choice couldnt be clearer, ill protect it and expand it. Donald trump will cut it and take it away. Then sanders responded here is the deal, joe biden has repeatedly advocated for cuts to Social Security. I fought my whole career to protect and expand it. Yes, there is more. Biden comes back saying get real, bernie, the only person who will cut Social Security if he is elected is donald trump. Maybe you should spend your time attacking him. So with that, what are your thoughts on the Social Security side . So each candidate will talk about their records and it is up to them to defend it. One thing that i think is missing from this is both of these men would protect Social Security and medicare. You had a town hall last night and had donald trump last night on your network who was saying that he will cut entitlements. Thats extremely troubling to me and it should be to all our voters. He wants to cut Social Security. Right now this debate is important. It will be an issue in november. Whoever democratic nominee is will make that an issue and hold trump to his word and make him explain exactly what he said last night. Thats unacceptable and it should be unacceptable to every voter. Laura every voter should take a deep dive into everybodys philosophy and looking at the candidates and looking at what their plan and programs are. Last thought as we move forward this was such a big week. Where do you see things going next week . Weve got a lot of road left. Were only at 40 of the delegates allocated. Nowhere knows where this is going. Im confident that whoever is our nominee we will support that nominee and so i feel really confident about where we are in this race right now especially because either of these candidates would beat donald trump and polling shows you that time and time again. Laura we want to thank you very much for your time. Thank you for being with us today. Thank you for having me. Ed all right. In the meantime doensz killed in a mass shooting in afghanistans capital.

Ed all right. The breaking news keeps on coming this morning. Were now learning that the president after a stop in tennessee is in fact going to go to atlanta to the cdc, check out the preparations and the response to the coronavirus crisis. Bottom line the president had been planning to go there. As he explained to reporters there was a fear that maybe an official at the cdc had the coronavirus. That turned out to be false. That official took a test, it came back negative. That official does not have the coronavirus. So the president now will be stopping in at the cdc today in addition to checking out the tornado damage in tennessee. Well follow it all for you and following two big stories developing overseas. Kabul, afghanistan, a shooting kills at least 29 people. That happened at an event attended by the countrys opposition leader. In tunisia and explosion right near the american embassy. Lucas tomlinson is following this from the pentagon. Good morning. Good morning. President trump spoke at the white house a short time ago about the u. S. Withdrawal from the country saying you can only show somebodys hand for a short time. There were at least 29 People Killed, 61 people wounded and the attack was carried out by two gunmen who opened at a gathering about the assassination of a leader. The taliban are denying the attack. Many of the wounded are in Critical Condition and death toll could rise. Mike pompeo spoke on fox friends earlier today. It is time to seize this opportunity. President obama tried to make a public break with al qaeda. The risk of terrorism is in lots of places in the world, not just afghanistan. We need to get the balance right. We can do it in afghanistan with a smaller footprint and force. Tunisia said two suicide bombers blew themselves up by the u. S. Embassy. Emergency personnel were responding to the explosion. Last night President Trump was asked about afghanistan. President trump it is a big question about the government of afghanistan, a question about the whole situation in afghanistan. We have to get our people back home. Were a police force over there. Talks are supposed to start tuesday but no evidence theyll start on time between the taliban and the Afghanistan Government laura President Trump signing an 8. 3 billion dollar coronavirus aid package with thousands of americans under quarantine including passengers on a princess cruise ship.

Live look at the dow. You can see its down another 700 points or so. It has been bouncing around for at least a week now. The market opening a short time ago dropped sharply yesterday. Nearly 1,000 points. The day before it was up sharply. We dont want to focus on when its down. It has been bouncing around. A lot of volatility particularly with the coronavirus. The president and comments to reporters a short time ago saying he thinks the markets will calm down and wants to see the fed take more action. Impact of the coronavirus. There is now reports that maybe the Airline Industry may take a hit of over 100 billion. On the Positive Side a strong february jobs report. Much better than expected. Well have more on this with Charles Payne our money man later in the show. Now to this fox news alert. The president on his way to tennessee to survey the devastation from a series of deadly tornadoes earlier this week after he signed that emergency aid package to help tackle the coronavirus. The president were now learning will also visit the cdc headquarters in atlanta in a short time to meet with officials about the outbreak after his trip to nashville. Busy day as we start a brandnew hour of americas newsroom, im ed henry. Laura im laura ingle in for sandra smith. President trump heading for disasters zones around nashville days after violent storms ripped across the state leaving 24 dead and many more injured. The president spoke about the coronavirus, economy and the 2020 campaign taking aim at joe biden. President trump he is left wing and all people that are left wing in many ways he is worse than bernie. Look what he did with guns. He put beto in charge of guns. Beto wants to get rid of guns, right . Thats the bad stance. And he has a lot of people that are left wing and theyll be running the government. He wont be running anything. Ed president sounding confident this morning he will still be in charge. Ed rollins, former Campaign Manager for president reagan in the big reelection effort of 1984. Juan williams used to cover ed rollins in the white house and miranda devine. Columnist for the new york post. Good morning, all. Ed rollins, youve run a president ial campaign. President thinks he can take joe biden. Dont be overconfident. The reality is in any campaign you run like you are five points behind and do Everything Possible that you can to make sure you make up that. Too often people get overconfident and as weve seen in several elections of late the last week or two can change quickly. Ed the president at this town hall last night made it clear he had the scripts ready. Ads were cut to take on Bernie Sanders. Socialism, communism. He sounded confident but it is a different kind of campaign he has to run. Without a doubt. He sent guillotguyard to ukraine to dig up dirt on biden. In th but the power of the incumbency is such i would have to agree you would have to say the president is favored going into any matchup no matter the candidate. I think biden is a much tougher candidate and why voters, democratic voters particularly black voters really thought that biden is the safe bet in terms of taking on a powerful incumbent president. Ed the headtohead polls hypothetical matchups between Hillary Clinton and donald trump told Us Donald Trump would lose big time and he won. Laura when you look at the town hall last night and some of the messaging and what we heard today at the white house with the signing of this coronavirus bill. What is your takeaway on that . A lot of people talking about did Elizabeth Warren dropping out and looking at the now presumptive choice of two white men in their 70s. Look, i think what you are seeing donald trump doing is he has been waiting for an opponent. He has been smashing up Elizabeth Warren and joe biden and anyone he can, Bernie Sanders, mayor pete. And now that the democrat candidates have come into focus, he is sharpening up his messages and you can see he still is going after bernie and joe biden at the same time. It is almost going to be like shooting fish in a barrel if it is joe biden. He has prefaceed what he is going to be saying about joe bidens ability to perform and about his son hunter. So Elizabeth Warren was going to be mince meat. I think she would have fared a lot better than joe biden. Ed the president had a preview of the attacks on biden. He was in bidens hometown of scranton. The president said what he would say about joe biden. President trump i was all set for bernie. I thought it was going to happen. I was all set. Then we have this crazy thing that happened, right, on tuesday, which he thought was thursday. [laughter] [applause] but he also said 150 Million People were killed with guns and he was running for the United States senate. Support me, im running for the United States senate. There is something going on there. Ed he questioned joe bidens competence . It is legitimate. The key thing here if i was running bidens campaign, i would have him spend a lot of time in hawaii. Stay as far away as possible. You can run a campaign. The president has a lot of advantages. He has the big airplane, big office, every day he can do things like he is doing today which the American Public sees as leadership. Joe biden every time he talks he cant stay on the teleprompter. Gets off. Not a good campaign. What the public did and the Africanamerican Community said okay, he is our guy. Someone like Ronald Reagan did to george bush. He said he is our guy and it changed the dynamics. I think to a certain extent he is the acceptable alternative. Whether he is good or not, i dont think so. Laura the other day we had marie harf on. He makes gaffes, a big stage, it happens. Let it go. Is that something you think voters can let go . Obviously thats why voters voted for joe biden. I dont think, though, the gaffes are as defining as some people do. Ive heard people suggest senility and the like. Its so harsh and wrong but its politics. Sharp elbows get thrown. Joe biden let me tell you makes gaffes as long as ive known him and ive known him a long time. The idea that it is now worse or something. I think in fact some people see it as evidence of authenticity, even charm. And i would add this, boy, that guy in the white house, he makes some mistakes. Sometimes i think theyre intentional. Im sorry but when the voters in ohio and New Hampshire saw joe biden up close and personal especially he was having these small rooms and he still needed the teleprompter to give the most basic stump speech. It is not just gaffes. It is not knowing where he is, what state he is in. He is not actually functioning on all cylinders. That is obvious. You saw his poll numbers plummeted. I think what happened on super tuesday he won big m states he never even went to. That he didnt have a Campaign Office and hadnt had ads. Voters there were voting for the idea of joe biden. Someone they want to exist but actually doesnt anymore. Ed Bernie Sanders, he is still in the race with a lot of money and still pushing and has an ad that features barack obama, watch. Bernie is somebody who has the virtue of saying exactly what he believes, great authenticity, great passion, and is fearless. Does he still have a chance . I dont think so. He has lost the momentum. When you look at the calendar ahead there is no place for him. Obviously its two people now so it will get split. Both will get 15 . Ed Tulsi Gabbard is still in the race, low single digits. She shouldnt be on the debate stage. Fascinating thing. Two debates left for two hours. Oneonone. Thats a lot of time to fill up and the reality is youll get a pretty mustsee tv. I ran this campaign, the Reagan Campaign against mondale and the premise was why should we go back . Weve had this great success, why would you want to go back . The bottom line even though he claims it was me, me, me, me, me, it was obama and obama had great affection. I dont think joe has that great affection. Ed are you better off than you were four years ago . I dont think reagan had approval numbers like donald trump. He has never hit 50. And so what you have is a situation where normally the economy would be an indicator this president should be on the way to a landslide. Like reagan in 84 against mondale but in fact even with the good economy, this president s Approval Rating lags. He is seen as divisive and polarizing, telling lies constantly. Coronavirus stuff. Wall street had trouble with the way theyre handling it. You have to put a different historical lens on this campaign than you would on others. One other point, i dont think that people are somehow daft and say joe biden is out of his mind but well vote for him. To the contrary. People admire him and know his record and like him. Why clyburn endorsed him. He said joe biden, not only do we know joe, joe knows us. It was reiterated by the governor of michigan last night when she endorsed joe biden. Are all these people equally daft . Where is obama . You have sanders now has this ad pretending he and barack obama are best mates. This is a time when joe biden could really do with the support of obama and obama is a guy said you dont have to do this. Obama knows him better than anyone. As for the polls for the president. Trump derangement syndrome causes a lot of shy trump voters. They wont tell a polster something that makes them a pariah. Laura somebody said a look at joe biden as a viable candidate is a look back to something that feels normal in this polarizing time. You may not like everything he says or stands for but a shot at normality for some. The two most unpopular candidates in history four years ago. You will have unpopular joe biden by the time were finished will be very unacceptable to the country. The difference i remind people michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, 77,000 votes. Can you switch those 77,000 votes . That will be the real battleground. Ed juan, a week, two weeks ago many in the Democratic Party who thought biden was done. I get he has had this comeback. Some of the problems he had before have not gone away. He couldnt raise money. Thats gone away. Thats definitely gone away. Ed there was a reason why people werent giving him money. A lack of enthusiasm a couple of weeks ago. He lost in iowa and New Hampshire. And people want someone who can defeat donald trump and it didnt look like he was strong in order to accomplish that end. I have think thats changed obviously now he demonstrated he can win and won big. I think the problem for joe biden is again you talk about passion and whether or not people on the left wing of the party, the bernie supporters would ever come in line for joe biden. But i again remind you when you ask democrats in the polls what is your number one pry or taoe, it is beating donald trump. Well, look, i really think that joe biden is not viable as a candidate. If he can manage to stagger through the nomination process they cant hide him forever. He cant have a teleprompter when he is up on a debate stage against donald trump. Donald trump will make mince meat of him. I cant see that will happen. Maybe there will be a savior come in at the convention. Hillary clinton still trailing her cart. On another book tour. Ed she has a podcast. We appreciate it. Thank you. Laura cruise ship carrying thousands of passengers remains off the coast of california as officials wait for coronavirus test results. Dramatic new video showing the coast guard delivering the kits to the ship which is under quarantine following the death of a man who traveled on a previous cruise. Senior correspondent Claudia Cowan is live in San Francisco with an update on this, these images are startling. It is a dramatic unfolding story here in San Francisco. Good morning to you, laura. More than 3400 people on board the grand princess are still in limbo waiting for these covid19 test results that will determine what happens next. Moments ago President Trump also weighing in saying he has been in touch with california officials and is closely monitoring what is happening with this cruise ship which as you can see remains anchored 70 miles off the coast south of San Francisco coming no closer for now by order of the governor after a 71yearold man who took the previous voyage on that ship became the first person in california to die of covid19. One other passenger at least have tested positive as well and now theyre checking to see if others have caught the virus. Test kits were delivered yesterday. Those identified as having flulike symptoms. 45 people were tested first. The results are expected later this morning. According to some passengers, public areas on the 17floor ship have been closed and everyone is being advised to stay that their cabins. People can order room service. When the ship can return and where it will dock will depend on the test results. Once we have results from the tests, the cdc and the state will determine the most appropriate location for the ship to berth. And the location needs to provide for the safety of the surrounding community as well as the passengers and crew. The grand princess was scheduled to return here to pier 27 tomorrow morning. Unclear unlikely, frankly, that will happen now. We understand this ships next cruise set to depart tomorrow afternoon for hawaii has been canceled. Laura and ed, back to you. Laura thank you so much. Ed President Trump last hour signing a big funding bill to fight the coronavirus as the number of deaths in the u. S. Rises to at least 11.

Royal appearances for harry and meghan. Ed as the coronavirus continues to spread worldwide the misinformation is spreading, too. It is being shared all across the internet. Cyber experts warn it poses as much of a danger to the public as the virus itself. Gillian turner is live in washington with details. Good morning, gillian. Good morning. This is a big, big problem. So bad and misguided info spreading across social media and the web at a rate much faster than the virus itself. Cyber experts and public Health Officials are starting to ring alarm bells saying the socalled epidemic is contagious and needs to be contained. It is coming from malicious actors hoping to make a quick buck with email scams but also from well meaning folks and family members and coworkers trying to be helpful. The goal in the u. S. Is to avoid spreading bad info that makes it harder for healthcare workers to do their jobs. Once the virus hits your community. This is what happened during the early days of the Virus Outbreak in china and ended up making people there less safe. The best advice from the top experts is dont panic and dont listen to unvetted sources. You should avoid doing the following. Hoarding medical supplies including masks, gloves, medicine, hoarding food or household items. Canceling travel without consulting the state Department Travel advisory or keeping your children out of school unprompted. You should be sure to get evidencebased guidance from official organizations. Here are some of the sources you can and should trust. You might want to write down the websites. The centers for Disease Control and prevention, department of health and Human Services, the World Health Organization and the state department. You can also trust information from hospitals and your Family Doctor and the National Institute of health. Be extra careful online. Dont click on unknown sites and dont click on pdf, mp4 or. Xfiles from sites you dont know. Ed good advice. Laura well have much more on the deadly coronavirus including a closer look at the role of Health Secretary alex azar. He has gone from the spotlight to the sidelines some say in the battle to contain the outbreak. Ed an immigration deal could be in the works putting the dreamers back on the agenda as the election heats up. Kellyanne conway is the headliner and will join us on that, the economy and a lot more. I think the takeaway for me if the court rules in the president s favor we wont allow these folks to have their lives turned upside down. I. I dont know. When did we introduce siracha .

A check of the dow is in better territory than it was before. Down as much as 700 or 800 points. Now 460 points down. Remember it closed down nearly 1,000 points yesterday. Day before it was up big time, though. A lot of volatility up and down bouncing all around. Thats why we go to the money man who has the answers, Charles Payne. Also a jobs number we dont want to forget. Really good news that maybe not enough people are talking about. One thing weve been talking about on my show is two dynamics in this country right now. What we see from the economy going into the coronavirus. Even in the month of february when it started to hit in this country, an economic juggernaut. 273,000 jobs, 730,000 jobs in the last three months. Housing numbers are through the roof. Manufacturing is coming back. Im talking about a legitimate economic juggernaut flies into this dark place were fooling around. No one knows exactly what will happen. Its not the coronavirus, its the actions taken to stop the spread. People working from home and canceling conferences. Enough anxiety do people start to horde and get afraid. Thats the big unknown that worried me the most. The economics of where we are in this country and where we have been are enough to ride us through one or two bad quarters. Laura does experience tell us these numbers are precoronavirus fears and as we move forward and feeling around in the dark is there a chance that these could plummet . Yesterday we got initial jobless claims. Went down. Were in a 50year low. People are still not being unemployed. In other words, people arent getting fired. Im talking 730,000 people who didnt have a job 90 days ago buying groceries, buying cars, paying rent, paying tuition. This doesnt stop overnight. Anything is possible. And depending how we react and leadership, the news flow, you know, you can certainly it will stall but i dont think it has to derail. Ed important nugget i want to add to all of this. I mentioned at the top of the segment things were worse in the dow a little while ago and now gotten better. The dow went up 400 points as larry kudlow from the white house was doing an interview with our colleague stuart vary on fox business. Kudlow was saying there could be stimulus measures from the white house. He talked about cash injections to the economy. What is he talking about and talk about the big picture here in terms of the tinkering might happen. At the beginning of the week everyone is clamoring for Central Banks around the world to create some money. So far a couple have including the fed. But with the central bank its a problem for governments. Because what we do has a lingering effect. Anything the fed does wont hit the economy for 12 to 18 months. The federal government and government in europe can actually do things to put money in peoples pockets immediately. Now of course the president is loath to do that willynilly. In the past these things have been hit or miss. If i give you an extra 1,000 in your mailbox and you think it will be ugly what will you do with the money . Put it in a coffee jar. You wont spend it. So it has to be so kudlow is trying to be deliberate here. What was intriguing about todays session so far. Airlines are up. Maybe there will be a bailout for airlines or help for people who cant cover hospital bills. Maybe help for people who cant go to work. He talked about the word he used that was intriguing. He called it a microapproach talking with Stuart Varney. I didnt see the whole interview because i had to come here. I think it has been floated out there. I think if it was a traditional perhaps Old School Republican president maybe it would be written off. I think donald trump is somewhat of a different kind of a thinker. I wouldnt be surprised if he did something to make sure folks caught out there without a safety net get some kind of help. Laura you mentioned the Airline Industry. The Airline Industry with the coronavirus fears taking a 100 billion loss globally. It is march and i know a lot of my friends are starting to look at travel for the year. Is now the time how does that correspond to the average traveler . One of the major firms just put together an index of ticket prices and travel along with broadway shows. There are things we do that are distresh naer money. Rates will come down. Cancellations. The airlines for all the airlines around the world. 21 billion for u. S. Based airlines. It is definitely going to mean bargains or whatever for anyone who would like to travel particularly this summer. The airlines got a bailout after 9 11 and they are suggesting there is the same sort of knee jerk response going on now. People are too intimidated the fly. They were in the white house this week. Trump said you arent getting anything. That was then. Well see what happens. Ed you mentioned if i give you 1,000. You know where my office is . Are you handing out cash . Or was that an example . Just an example. Welcome back, lori, where are your kids . Tell us where your kids are. Where are your kids . Anything you want to say, lori . Anything you want to say .

Authorities say she has repeatedly lied about her kids. Spending months in hawaii with her fifth husband and no sign of her son and daughter. She is back in idaho to face another judge and the same critical questions. We have a last known picture of her 17yearold daughter with her 7yearold brother joshua and their uncle at Yellow Stone Park last september. The f. B. I. Is asking anyone at the park on september 8th to see if they might also have images of the missing girl. Joshua, jj, was last seen by a doorbell camera on september 23 playing outside an apartment complex with a friend. Cell phone video captured their mom being escorted across the tarmac at lax from hawaii to idaho. She was led to a Police Vehicle and taken to the Madison County jail to be processed and booked. Vallow was arrested in hawaii two weeks ago on two felony counts on child abandonment. She has repeatedly lied about her kids whereabouts ignoring court orders to cooperate with the investigation. She and her new husband are reportedly members of a religious group preparing for the biblical end of times and are surrounded by suspicious deaths. Her husbands wife of 30 years died in october. Her body has been exhumed to search for signs of foul play. Vallows estrangeed husband was killed by her brother last july and he died in september. Prosecutors will argue against bail as long as vallow stays quiet about the whereabouts of her children. Laura what an incredible story. Lots of twists and turns. Ed fox news alert now. A whirlwind day for President Trump as he signs the 8. 3 billion funding bill for the coronavirus and now planning to visit the cdc headquarters in atlanta to meet with officials there later today. Right now, though, the president is on his way to tennessee before he heads to georgia to tour damage from this weeks deadly tornadoes.

Well see how you do on that score as you talk to us live. But in all seriousness your colleague larry kudlow was talking about stimulus to the economy from the president and referred to cash injections. A lot of people on wall street want to know what that is. Can you spell it out . The president and his Economic Advisors will continue to spell that out. Lets recite facts here. Weve had 35 out of 39 months under President Trumps administration where weve had at least 100,000 new jobs. 200,000 in each of the last couple of months and this is two months into the coronavirus. Yet our fundamentals remain very strong. In fact, since he was elected net 500,000 manufacturing jobs, 825,000 construction jobs. Thats why when the president shows up at the fox news town hall last night in scranton, pennsylvania, he is warmly received. The state he won for the first time in 28 years. Because of messages like that. Biden was bad on nafta, letting china in the wto. Bad economic policies. This president making trade deals that benefit American Workers and the economy. You are seeing the resilience in our economy. The risk for coronavirus is very low for most americans. We know those who have compromised systems already, the elderly 70 years and older are at greater risk. 14 deaths as of this morning are tragic and the condolences go out to their families. The president s action at the beginning of this and the Task Force Working 24 7 has made the difference in terms of containing this in this country so far. Ed he talked about that as the fox news town hall. Well get more on the coronavirus in a moment. He appears something he tries to clean up this morning. He said i will protect your Social Security and medicare just as i have for the past three years. Sleepy joe biden will destroy both in short order and wont even noef he is doing it. The president promising he will protect social and medicare. He said the opposite at the town hall. He said in his second term would cut Social Security and medicare and cut entitlement programs. He didnt say that. You are misquoting him. When i talked to him after i said there were some articles and twitter traffic that says the following and he said no, im talking about cutting deficits. Ed how do you do that, kellyanne . You have to do that by cutting programs. We have the sound bite and i will let you react. The economy is the best economy weve ever had. It is nothing compared to what it is going to be when the trade deals kick in. If you dont cut something in entitlements you will never deal. Well be cutting but well have growth like youve never had before. Ed she said youll have to cut entitlements to cut the deficit. He is not talking about cutting entitlement. His press secretary put out a Statement Last night and thats not what he was referring to. He talked about growth. He was talking about the booming economy and also talked about the deficit in terms of i loved actually his illustration that we can have a foreign country running up the hill of the white house to take us over but i balanced the budget or we reduced the deficit. He inherited a big deficit. He made very clear the previous president exploded the deficit beyond anything that the prior president s combined had done. And that this is a president that needs to rebuild the military. No joke. Under President Trumps leadership we have three consecutive pay raises for active military and what he has done for the veterans is incredible. Secretary of the va tells me 2. 5 million American Veterans have accessed the va mission or choice act since it went into effect of early june of last year. They can access care in the private system if they cant get ut through the va. He had to rebuild the military and make sure they have the equipment they need but also a pay raise so they are better resourced and more deeply respected. Laura we want to get to the coronavirus situation at hand. We all watched the president signing that bill today and we broken down the money. 8. 3 billion is a lot. We know he is on the move. The president heading to tennessee to survey the tornado damage and also going to atlanta to the cdc to address the situation. What can you tell us about the visits. Lets start with coronavirus and the cdc. The president this morning signed the legislation as only a president can do, 8. 3 billion, bipartisan in the house. So that Shows Congress can come together when there is an issue such like that. That funding will go in part to help develop the vaccine. We have the pharmaceutical companies here earlier in the week. I think those would be competitors, great collaborators in the cabinet room. You covered it where theyre talking about helping those who are already infected. It will come more quickly and the vaccine over time will come and going as fast and safely as they can obviously. In addition the states i think the cdc has a state grant formula based on population as to how the monies will be divided up and the states can decide where the greatest needs are. Thats very important. You look at a state Like Washington where the Vice President was with the democratic governor there yesterday. Everyone, washington has been the hardest hit around the nursing home. Thats an example. Theyll assess what they need to do with that money versus another state. Ed we have 30 seconds. We dont want to forget our fellow americans in tennessee. The president is going there to show his support. Got 30 seconds. What does the administration and the message . The president has been on the scene with all these natural disasters throughout the course of his presidency. Hurricanes, tornadoes, and the like. And he said this week he told us i want to get to tennessee as soon as i can and, of course, has been in touch there with the governor and others in nashville. I was really compelled this week when you saw reports every network, reporter would be standing there saying im standing where a house was yesterday. Im standing where a family was trying to get safe passage in a bathtub. Well be there to mourn the dead and to comfort their families. Well also be there with the funding that is necessary. The president has come through with that and historically throughout his presidency when tragedy has struck. Ed a lot on the agenda. The dow is only down 400 points. It got a little better after you started talking about the economy. The jobs report is explosive beating expectations. Other networks are predicting recession. Theyre in regression. There is no recession. Job numbers are incredible. Thank you. Take care. Laura coronavirus hitting the titans of tech. How amazon, facebook and others are now handling the outbreak.

Ed coronavirus hitting home for the tech industry, asking employees to work from home after some employees tested positive. Time for the next frontier with brett larson from fox News Headlines channel 115 on sirius xm. The Technology Industry has been kind of almost at the epicenter of it since its happening in washington and california. A lot of giant Tech Companies are telling people you have to stay home and work from home. Easier for a lot of them to do that. Ed their jobs allow them to do that. If youre doing coding or communications you can do that from a computer at home. Most of them have enough bandwidth on high Speed Internet to take care of that. Microsoft put out a statement about them telling their employees to work from home. Theyll do it through march 25th consistent with the king county guidance. Thats where seattle is and recommending all employees in a job that can be done from home should do so. Taking these measures will make the workplace safer for those who need to be on site. Microsofts developer conference later this year we havent heard whether or not theyll cancel it. Apple has the worldwide developer conference coming up later this year as well. Havent heard if theyll cancel it. South by southwest happening in austin, texas a lot of companies have pulled out including amazon, netflix is saying theyll put out. Twitter, facebook. The list of folks so far that have pulled out of south by southwest. If youve ever been in austin when it is happening it is like ces times five. The whole town is taken over by technology industries. Its sad. If youre a start up, this is their super bowl and shot to get in front of a lot of these companies. Ed the hotels, restaurants and all the rest. Laura when you look at the statement from microsoft if youre in a job that can be done from home do so. How do people decide who can do jobs from home . Is there a list . Im guessing its a nice conversation you have with your supervisor. What exactly can i get away with doing from home . Listen, ive worked from home in many capacities. Different jobs. It is doable in a lot of ways thanks to the internet which is great. It is a little troubling when you hear stuff like that. As you are watching whats happening on wall street, watching whats happening with tourism, a great point. With more people pulling out of south by southwest it will hurt the local economy, Airline Industry and hurt a lot of these small startup Computer Companies that were hoping oh, this is going to be my chance. Laura brett larson, thank you for coming in and breaking it all down. More testing finding more cases of coronavirus.

Laura the dow plunging again as we get word the number of people with coronavirus has passed 100,000 worldwide. Well get answers to your most common questions. Plus well talk with the nations top doctor when the Surgeon General joins us live. Ed we begin with a fox news alert. President trump about to land in tennessee as we noted he will tour the damage from the tornadoes that killed 24 people this week and devastated parts of the great state of tennessee. Welcome to a new hour of americas newsroom. Im ed henry. Laura im laura ingle in for sandra smith today. Powerful tornadoes slammed into central tennessee tuesday. The president s visit to the area after he signed an 8. 3 billion coronavirus aid package as the virus spreads across the country. President trump you have to be calm. It will go away. We do have a situation where we have this massive ship with 5,000 people and we have to make a decision. It is a big decision because we have very low numbers compared to major countries throughout the world. Laura chief White House Correspondent john roberts has more on all of this. Good morning. The president will be going to the cdc later on this afternoon after he lifts off from his visit to tennessee. The president had canceled that part of the trip yesterday because it was thought someone at the cdc had come down with coronavirus. That person was tested. The testing turned out to be negative. The president put that part of the trip back on and will be visiting the cdc holding a round table to learn the latest on their efforts and Contact Tracing try to figure out what the spread of the virus will be and the process toward a vaccine. As you mentioned before leaving the white house the president putting his signature on the 8. 3 billion coronavirus emergency bill. The money will go to response, emergency equipment purchases and vaccines. As the markets continued their tailspin this morning and americans worry about the spread of the virus and how many states it will get to the president again urging people to be calm. The u. S. Is well positioned to limit the impact. Listen to what he said. President trump numbers are lower than just about anybody. In terms of death i dont know what the count is today. 11 people, i think. In terms of cases its very, very few. When you look at other countries it is a tiny fraction. We have been very strong at the borders. Then you have a ship with a lot of americans on it. 5,000 people on it, a massive ship. They want to come in. We have to make a decision. Were working with the governor of california. The morning the president s chief Economic Advisor kudlow hinting there may be be tar g eted stimulus ahead to get the economy propped up. Listen to how he put it. We may wish to help them with some cash flow perhaps on a larger scale. Some of the sectors might need some temporary assistance. There are a number of things. I look at it as a micro, i look at it as targeted and timely, and i think that would be the most effective. Ed on the politics of all of this despite bipartisan approval democrats continue to criticize the president s response and some of the things he has been saying. In the fox news town hall last night the president took on the criticism head on. Listen to what he said. Some of the democrats have said no matter what if we found a cure and everybody is better tomorrow morning at 9 00 they would say he has done a terrible job. It is automatic. How is the president doing . Terrible, terrible. They dont mean it and weve done a great job. Again, weve gotten the highest poll numbers of anybody for this kind of a thing. Whats ahead for the public in terms of being informed . The Vice President will be leading the Coronavirus Task forces daily briefing. That will be this afternoon at 3 00. The Vice President is back from the west coast where he visited 3m, a company that he actually visited them in minnesota. A company that makes the n95 masks for emergency workers. Vice president trying to get the production of those ramped up. Well also hear from the president at the cdc a little later on today. Still a lot of information, laura, ahead for folks at home as they track the progress of this virus. Laura john roberts for us live at the white house where its been yet another very busy day. Thank you, john. Ed a busy day indeed. A live picture of air force one just landed wheels down in nashville, tennessee. The president as weve been noting first is going to be touring some of those areas that were ravaged by the tornadoes, over 20 People Killed this week in tennessee. As we noted on the screen a moment ago air force one will head towards atlanta where the president will go to cdc headquarters to try to continue to calm the public about the coronavirus. Good way to tee up Chris Wallace anchor of fox news sunday. Good morning, mr. Wallace. Good morning, mr. Henry. Ed interesting the president at the town hall last night with bret and martha touting strong economic numbers overall while also trying to calm the public on the coronavirus and he wakes up this morning to some pretty strong jobs numbers that continues the economic case he wants to make to the public. The markets are still very volatile. Absolutely. And the numbers were great for employment. More than a quarter of a million jobs added in february. But i think a lot of people are wondering what will it be in march and april . We dont know where this will be as we get into the general election. The political picture and Health Picture all jumbled up that the point. For a president who was expecting to be able in all the Economic Indicators showed that he wasing to be able to campaign for reelection in the fall with a strong economy. Jobs numbers good, unemployment down dramatically, the stock market record highs. We dont know where it will be next fall. All is in doubt at this point. What is going to happen now to the economy. What is going to happen to the markets. You see this big plunge today. You know, i kind of am curious because we saw the fed announce that half point decrease in the middle of this week in between meetings of the market committee. And on the one hand you would say well, thats good, its stimulus to the economy. A lot of people thought gee, if theyre doing that and it is the First Time Since 2008 theyve done it in an unscheduled meeting maybe things are bad. You also wonder are people going to get on planes because the fed has a half point lower Interest Rate or not . You can do all the stimulus you want but to a certain degree were all at this point sitting waiting to see just how bad the virus is going to get. Ed to your point, chris, it seemed like the markets felt like the fed was panicking a little bit or rushing in. Lets also put on the table the white house is talking about stimulus. Maybe trying to work a bill through congress. Larry kudlow, white house Economic Advisor was on fox business a short time ago and we talked to Kellyanne Conway about it. Theyre talking about some type of tar g eted shortterm stimulus. No doubt they would want to talk about that in terms to make sure the economy stays strong. We both know there is a political reality that theyre dealing with a Democratic House of representatives that doesnt want to do very much of this president s agenda. Look, i would like to think maybe beyond being naive that both sides are sufficiently interested in the benefit of the country not just their own political interest that they would get together on something that made sense. And we saw the white house basically give way to democrats when it came to this 8 billion package to try to treat the virus, this emergency spending package. Again i wonder when i was talking about stimulus, i was talking about the sound bite of larry kudlow. Lets say you give a stimulus to the Airline Industry that is hit hard but again yeah, obviously they would like to have a stimulus. On the other hand united Just Announced a 10 cut in dom et i can flights and 20 cut in international flights. Was there a bailout to the Airline Industry . I have questions about that. Ed the president may be emerging from air force one any moment now in nashville, tennessee. As we await the president at this town hall i mentioned last night he seemed eager to talk about 2020 and try and make his case for reelection. But also he made it clear look, i had the ads basically written to take on Bernie Sanders. Talking about socialism and communism. Now i might have to deal with joefnltd im ready for him as well. Theyve got a huge operation over in arlington, virginia. Theyve had a lot of time and have the advantage of not having to face any kind of serious primary challenge which is a huge benefit to an incumbent president. My guess is they have plenty of research on joe biden and you are beginning to see people on the republican side, the Trump Campaign side talking about hunter biden again and where that seemed to go down as joe bidens political fortunes went down. I think youll see a big new push. Why was hunter biden on air force 2 flying to china and dealing with investments, private investments there . Why was he on the board of burisma . There will be plenty of ammunition and they have it stocked out. They may have to dust it off a little bit. They have plenty on joe biden. Ed what about the state of the democratic race . Joe biden seems to have taken command. Bernie sanders has a lot of money in the bank and thinks he has states coming up that will help him. Add to the mix Elizabeth Warren follows Michael Bloomberg out of the race. Bloomberg went with biden. Warren isnt necessarily going with sanders. She wants to think about an endorsement for a while. As somebody who last fall was thinking joe biden was unbeatable and a week ago would have said to you that i thought that Bernie Sanders had a clear path to the nomination, im not making any predictions about anything at this point. Sure, biden certainly seems to be in a better position than sanders right now. But, you know, anybody who thinks this is going to go smoothly for joe biden. There could be more switches. Bernie sanders has a tremendous grassroots support. In addition weve seen biden has some considerable vulnerabilities on the campaign trail. Remember, a week from sunday the two of them its funny in a party that prides itself on diversity of gender and race, two white men, one 77, one 78, in the contest for the democratic nomination, a lot of things can still happen. We dont have 40 of the delegates chosen yet. 60 still out there. Lets not wrap it up too quickly. Ed the next debate a week from sunday well see the two for first time. Instead of everybody fighting and we should call it old and old. I could take that in a number of directions. I can predict safely you will be on this sunday at 2 00 p. M. And 7 00 p. M. Eastern on the fox news channel. Sunday his guest dr. Anthony fauci dealing with the outbreak. Fox news sunday airs at 2 00 p. M. And 7 00 p. M. Eastern on the fox news channel. You see were awaiting a live look there, the president to emerge from air force one. It just landed in nashville, tennessee, before it heads to atlanta, georgia, in a couple of hours as the president goes to cdc headquarters, get a firsthand look how the public Health Officials are dealing with the coronavirus situation. In the meantime he will be on the ground in tennessee for a couple of hours taking a look firsthand look at the devastation that played out given those deadly tornadoes in the state of tennessee this week and here we are. As if on cue the president emerging right now coming down air force one and some local and military officials greeting him on the ground at Nashville International airport and remember we interviewed the governor of the state, bill lee. Theyll have a chance to chat and a chance to go around the state, laura. This is something the president as Kellyanne Conway made clear to us wants to show the federal government will be there for the state and local governments. Laura mentioning that the president and first lady touched by the images by all networks showing reporters out there showing us all what once was a house and where people saw their homes ripped apart and how it touched them. They want to come and bring that support to this community, to this state to remind those families that the government is there for them both for emotional support and also to bring money to where its needed. Ed that the federal government will be there in terms of resources. A number of guests including taylor hicks talking about the red cross and other groups that are on the ground helping in addition to the federal government. And in addition to that lets not forget more than 20 people were killed while there is a big focus on rebuilding homes and schools. So many buildings that were destroyed. The loss of life. Much more important. A lot of people are grieving this morning. This is still pretty raw. The president making clear he wants to show his support for the state, the local communities there that are still digging out from those deadly tornadoes. Laura if anybody can put yourself in the shoes of those who tlifd there. When i covered Hurricane Katrina and you imagine your moment you are standing where your house once stood. Everything that you have inside of your house has flown away and ripped to shreds. Memories, safety, your feeling of safety and community has been ripped out from underneath your feet. Those are some of the things that well hear the president address as he talks to Community Members and those local officials. He will be boarding marine one soon. Well see if he talks to reporters or just boards marine one. The reason why he is using marine one he will get outside nashville and get to local communities and an overhead look. We lost that shot but get an overhead look from marine one in terms of the devastation but marine one will enable him to get to local communities and get outside the big cities and make sure he is seeing people in their neighborhoods to show the federal government cares. Laura it is so important. People have asked to see this and here we are. Well continue to monitor that situation as we watch the president make those rounds there in tennessee. Ed in the meantime the president also will be going to the cdc. Officials working to ease coronavirus fears. Inspections have 200 across the country, global total is 100,000. The Surgeon General, jerome adams. Laura thank you for joining us today as we continue to follow along the rapid growth of this virus. The response to it. First i want to start now and ask you about the visit to the cdc in atlanta today that the president was making. It was on, it was off. Now its back on and he is going there. What can we expect to hear from the cdc, from the president today when he goes and makes that visit after he is done with tennessee . Well first of all my heart goes out to the people of tennessee as well as to the victims of the coronavirus in the country so far. What you are going the hear from the president is what youve heard from him all along. The risk to the average american of coronavirus at this time remains low. However, were seeing pockets in this country of increased cases of coronavirus. So we want people to prepare. We want people to do the things we know are effective to protect themselves including washing hands frequently, including covering your cough or sneeze and including staying home if you are sick and cleaning surfaces and that does not include wearing a mask. We know masks are not effective for the general public in keeping them safe from coronavirus and they actually increase the risk of getting coronavirus or the flu because if you dont wear a mask properly you touch your face frequently and increase your risk of exposure to a respiratory disease and we know when people use masks and dont need them they take them away from Healthcare Providers potentially who need them to respond. Laura i wanted to ask you about that. As the u. S. Surgeon general how can you help calm the fears of americans who are going out and buying as many supplies as they can to try to prepare themselves for this. The messaging has been mixed in some cases depending on who you listen to. All you have to do is jump online and try to buy a few of these key items that people think they need and they are sold out or you wont be able to get it. How can you help bring this down for everyone . As secretary azar has said were committed to radical transparency. Wealth owe tell people what we know and dont know. This is a new virus. Things are changing rapidly. We want people to know their risk right now. We want them to be prepared but we dont want them to panic. I am trying as Surgeon General to help people keep things in perspective. Weve had 18,000 flu deaths. One of the worst flu seasons weve had. If folks want to be concerned about something they should be concerned about their risk of exposure to the flu. They should be making sure they get the flu shots. The great thing if you protect yourself from if flu you also protect yourself from the coronavirus. Its a win win. Laura a great point. Speaking of getting the right information out there i want to play you sound of the assistant secretary for health and Human Services and on the fatality rate being lower than reported. Thats important. The best estimates now of the overall mortality rate for covid19 is somewhere between. 1 and 1 . Thats lower than you heard probably in many reports. Why is this . Number one, its because many people dont get sick and dont get tested. This is reflects the overseas experience. Laura thats important. The numbers of those people who have caught the virus and those who died. When you look at it in that sense, when you look at the percentage that he just mentioned, it is something to really, really take in, right . Absolutely. He is correct. We need to communicate that to folks. When you look at the people who are getting coronavirus, 80 of them are not needing to be hospitalized and having a mild illness like a cold or like a minor flu. 80 . Of the 20 who need hospitalization or more medical care we know that the folks who are most at risk the end to be people who are elderly and people with medical problems. Heart disease, lung disease, cancer and chemotherapy. So what we want most of america to know is that you are not at high risk for getting coronavirus. If you do get it, you are likely to recover. 98, 99 of people willfully recover. I dont want to diminish even 1 . We want to people most at risk to know you need to take extra precautions and be extra careful keeping your hands clean and social distancing making sure you stay away from large gagtserings and people who might get sick. Get in your flu shot. Ed schumer still facing criticism targeting two Supreme Court justices. Laura President Trump touring tennessee after powerful tornadoes hit that state.

Economy adding 273,000 jobs. Unemployment slipping to 3. 5 . It is a 50year low. Christina from the New York Stock Exchange with more. Christina. What you guys talked about is the february jobs report smashed it out of the park. Unemployment back to 3. 5 . It shows that the economy was strong heading into this virus, the spread of the virus. The unfortunate thing a jobs report is a lagging indicator. We wont see the full impact of the coronavirus. We talk about the markets, though. The dow is down 544 points at the moment. Lots of volatility. A lot of bad news for our 401ks. Ifm im losing money. Investors are concerned about a prolonged effect of a possible economic slowdown and why you are seeing people move money into gold, cash, government bonds as well. We are also seeing a growing list of large corporations around the United States telling their employees that maybe it is best they work from home. An example would be facebook. They closed one of the facilities. They told a lot of their employees to work from home. Also microsoft, amazon, everyone is issuing statements to their employees. There is one facebook contractor who did get the coronavirus and the latest today is a gap employee, a gap employee has tested positive for the vier all their employees to work from home. You have some of thieves Retail Stocks getting hit. Airline stocks taking a nosedive as more and more corporations like united are cutting their International Travel and domestic travel. Cruise lines the same situation. So i want to bring you full circle to end on a more positive note. Larry kudlow was on fox business not too long ago talking about tar g eted stimulus. When he talked about targeted stimulus that the administration looking at you saw the market swing upwards. Trying to end on a positive note. Laura well take that with all thats gone on this week. Thank you. Ed there is a conversation going on now in america about how schools across the nation should be dealing with the coronavirus situation. Lets bring in dr. Bill bennett. He is the former secretary of education, fox news contributor. Host of wise guys on fox nation. Amazing things he does all year long. Dr. Bennett, thank you for coming in. What is your thought on this . Its a serious issue. My own doctors high school sent out a note saying nobody has tested positive but keeping a close eye on the situation, of course. If schools start shutting down you have parents who have to find childcare. They might not be able to go to work. It could have a spiral effect. There are no rules for applying general principles to specific cases. You have to make judgments. What is required here is a judgment between competing values. One, there should be a presumption in favor of learning. Presumption should be in favor of going to school. That can be overcome by a serious risk, safety risk, a health risk. If youre in a situation, seattle, kirkland, some of those areas near the Retirement Homes and so on and where the infection rate was high, maybe close the schools. That makes sense. Otherwise take a good, careful look. Presumption is that you can go to school. The last report. Let people work at home. There is remote learning. Kids do it and it can be done. But it is disruptive to families when people have to come home and cover and so on. Make the judgment. Rely on local Health Officials and local School Officials to be smart about this. Ed i keep hearing from a lot of our viewers the president is trying to preach calm. The media focuses too much on it. You want to make sure people are safe but not blown out of proportion. Exactly right. We have to be careful. Panic could be the worst problem we have here. Ed lets move to 2020 and the campaign. You have a lot of thoughts on that. Tweets flying around today who mike cut Social Security and medicare. Joe biden tweeting out going after the president. Bernie sanders jumped in. Biden says ill expand Social Security. Kellyanne conway said it wasnt true. Bernie applied to biden. Here is the deal. Joe biden advocated for cuts to Social Security. I fought my whole career to expand it. Biden, get real, bernie. The only person who will cut Social Security is donald trump. Bernie and biden in a trump. The irishman sees a fight is it private or can anybody get in . This thing is going to go for a long time. The thought about the two, twohour debates. Biden and bernie will be very interesting to see. It is bidens to lose but he could lose it. With that kind of glare and time and the mistakes that he makes he could lose it. What i see is probably there is political reconciliation. The party comes together, people the end to come together and support biden. But is there cultural reconciliation . They are so different in their orientations and crowds. Our mutual friend and colleague york pointed out biden rallies they have the pledge of allegiance and often black ministers saying a prayer. No such thing as sanders rallies. Well see whether that happens. Will the sanders people support biden particularly if they think its the second time that the establishment ganged up on him . Thats what im looking at. Ed we have the delegate count. Joe biden with 637, sanders 559. It is tight but biden appears to have taken a bit of a commanding league. Big states coming up. One is florida where joe biden has a massive double digit lead. Yeah, no, exactly right. What happened to the millennials and young people to bernie . They have the enthusiasm but they dont vote. They have to get it together. He will be very tough in debates and we shall see what happens. Will there be buyers remorse about biden now that people fled bernie in a panic over socialism and communism as the president would say . Will there be buyers remorse . Well have a lot of sunlight. Its the best disinfect ant. Ed something that might get people to turn out is comments from Chuck Schumer going after Supreme Court justices. Your thoughts on that. You know, when he said this is just general i didnt mean anything personal. Sure you did. Mentioned them by name, gorsuch, kavanaugh and you wont know what hit you. I come from brooklyn and i remember a kid didnt go to school because he was afraid of getting in a fight. The kid who was going to fight went outside and called your name. So we need a full throated apology from Chuck Schumer. This shouldnt happen. Kavanaugh, gorsuch have families. Those little girls of kavanaugh have already heard enough nasty about their dad. Give these guys a break. Let them do their job. Ed the man from brooklyn, bill bennett. Have a good weekend, sir. Many of us, i guess. Laura we have answers to the most common questions about coronavirus. How to protect yourself and your family from the virus. Plus what washington is doing to control the spread of this illness. Ed speaking of washington earlier said murdoch was in the room when the president who signed. He claimed the executive was a visitor in the room. The president referred to him but he was not in the room. There you have it. Those are the facts. Well be right back. narrator he loves monday through friday but lives for the weekend. Hes put some miles on his truck, and now its time for something new, so he came here and saw what other people paid for the same truck he wants. Now he can recognize a great price.

Embassy in tunisia. Police stopped two men approaching the embassy on a motorcycle when they blew themselves up. Also wounding five offices and a civilian. No immediate claim of responsibility for that blast. Ed deadly attack in afghanistans capital killing dozens of people at a ceremony to kabul attended by prominent political leaders as u. S. Moves to bring more u. S. Troops home. Benjamin hall has a live report from london. Good morning. In just the last hour weve heard isis saying they were behind this attack. That is significant. Had it been the taliban it would have suggested less than a week after the deal was signed with the u. S. That was beginning to fall apart. In a major way. Isis claiming responsibility on the website saying they were indeed behind it. In fact, they attacked this very same event which commemorates the death of an afghan shia leader last year and they also have motives for disrupting the peace process. The ceremony was attended by top politicians including the executive of afghanistan abdullah, 32 people are known to have died. 61 were injured. American forces attended the scene soon afterwards to provide advice and offer medical assistance. Speaking earlier secretary pompeo addressed the recent afghan deal and said that now was the time to make it happen. It is time to seize this opportunity. We did what president obama had tried to do which was to get the taliban to make a public break with al qaeda. We all know the risk of terrorism isnt just in afghanistan. Ist is in lots of places in the world. We can do this from afghanistan with a smaller footprint and smaller force. The deal signed with the taliban commits the group to insuring no terrorist entities use the country as the base to attack the u. S. Isis has a significant presence in afghanistan and been at war with the taliban in that country for control of certain areas for some time. Todays attack will be seen by some as an attempt to isis to disrupt the peace process. It does not favor isis. If the u. S. Leaves the taliban will get stronger and take over certain areas, particularly rural areas that isis are fighting. It was relief for many people that it was isis, not the taliban.

Elizabeth warren calling out Bernie Sanders and calling his supporters bullies, is endorsing her fellow progressive anything but a sure thing now . All that plus our man in the middle. Outnumbered at the top of the hour. Laura fox news alert. President trump signing a spending bill to contain the coronavirus. Now were getting some answers to some of the most common questions about the virus. Joining me now is dr. Amy phillips, chief medical officer for seattles st. Joseph health. A lot of people have many questions about this. The first thing i want to ask, there is a lot of misinformation on the subject and as that grows, people of course turn to the web browsers to type in a question so we have a few of the top hits here to ask you some of the questions people are asking. What are the symptoms . How long can it live on a surface . And how do you get it . Another one can you get it from your pet . Lets start with some of those. All right, sure. The biggest and most important common symptoms of coronavirus are cough, fever and shortness of breath. We think that probably more mild cases like other coronavirus it might cause congestion, sneezing, stuffy nose, those kinds of things. The ones that we know about that we worry about are when it actually goes from the flulike fever, shortness of breath symptoms to really making an impact on your ability to get enough oxygen in. Those are the ones we worry about. Can you get it from your pet . Thats actually a great question. Right now there are reports that dogs can carry it and so as we talk about isolating people in their own homes were actually now recommending that people isolate themselves separate from their pets because of that until we clarify. Laura if they believe they have in and in a quarantine situation, right . Thats exactly right. We want to make sure that dogs are not carriers somehow. Laura another list of top concerns seems to be how contagious it is and how does it spread . You have all these people buying masks. Many people say you dont have to put on a mask, it can hurt rather than help you . It is pretty contagious. So something in medicine we call the ability for a virus to spread is around 2. 5. Any one person who has it can affect two to three other people. Which is more contagious that flu but less contagious than measles and spreads from drop lets. If you cough, sneeze and get down wind those droplets can send the virus your way. The reason why facemasks can be problematic. Theyre really good if you have a cough to put it on. If you dont have a cough and trying to protect yourself from someone coughing on you the problem with a facemask is that it makes you touch your face more. You have to pull it up and it hits your nose and that kind of thing. You can touch your face more often by wearing a facemask. If you have touched a surface where the virus lives and then touch your face the virus can make it in through a mucous membrane. It is not a great thing. I was in a new york city cab this morning. He had a mask on and gloves. Ist was a thing. You wonder what the right thing to do is. Doctor, i want to thank you for your time today and getting to those important questions so many people have. Thank you. Thanks so much. Ed good information there. President trump currently aboard marine one surveying the devastation from the air in tennessee.
