In an effort to fight those rising numbers here in this country the u. S. National guard has been activated to 3 of the hardest hit States New York california and Washington State now almost half of the u. S. Cases about 20000 of them are all in new york state alone now several states have issued a stay at home orders for its residents with some even ordering nonessential businesses to shut their doors this means stay at home and avoid going out as much as possible unless its absolutely essential now current restrictions include the 3 biggest cities in the country new york city los angeles and chicago now overall the policy is going to affect millions of people so here in the Nations Capital republicans and democrats all clashing in the senate as the coronavirus rescue bill fell short of the votes needed to advance on sunday night theyre back at it today debating on that bill while debating the bill present. Trump and the Coronavirus Task force team gave their Daily Briefing where they emphasized america will not remain on lockdown and looks forward to getting society back to running as usual take a listen we also have a large team working on what the next steps will be once the medical Community Gives the region the ok meaning the ok to get going to get back lets go to work our country wasnt built to be shut down this is not a country that was built for this it was not built to be shut down. My administration continues to work with democrats and republicans to reach an agreement on an urgent relief bill for the millions of American Workers and Small Businesses and Large Businesses that were badly affected by the medical difficulty that weve had. Arties fair and from zach joining me a little earlier heres our discussion. He actually signed an executive order that prevents hoarding and any price gouging of supplies needed to fight this virus also there is been an about face with trump actually monella who last week called himself a quote wartime president against an invisible enemy that was one of the things now trump seems open to standing down some of the stricter guidelines like social distancing staying the cure can actually be saying that the cure cant be worse than the disease now this is trump is being bombarded right now by projections of up to 30 percent unemployment rates while the Economic Growth rates are dropping by 30 percent but task force aides say that trump hasnt made a final decision yet on lifting those social distancing guidelines because Health Experts right now are saying that they are still needed monella so all this while you know all this going on you have the senate voted down again corona virus relief bill any word yet if if something can get through soon so earlier today the 2 trillion dollar economic rescue package it failed again 4947 this after it failed to get the votes sunday night because it was at a standstill 47 to 47 was that vote now congress has had time to work this out because this bill was actually introduced by Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell last thursday but you can see that now there has been a wrench thrown into the mix because you have House Speaker nancy pelosi and her fellow democrats theyve released a counterproposal thats more than a 1000 pages long so some fun reading there theyre calling this the take responsibility for workers and families that now pull his is the Current Senate bill drafted by republicans puts corporations 1st not workers and families but some elements in this new bill already exist in that bill that the senate is still trying to work out so in this new democratic bill corporations would not be allowed to use any taxpayer money for stock buybacks it would boost unemployment ensure. And strengthen child tax and earned income tax credits and inject 40000000000. 00 into schools and universities now it would it would direct payments of 1200. 00 this is looking at the republican bill now 1200 dollars to each and every american 500. 00 for each child 350000000000. 00 toward Small Businesses which would push billions toward hospitals in the Unemployment Insurance system along with a 500000000000. 00 program for businesses states and cities now democrats say that this 1. 00 trillion dollars rescue package that doesnt go far enough to get health care and unemployment aid to americans and it gives a 500000000000. 00 quote slush fund for corporations when that money they say should go to hospitals medical workers and supplies however republicans say the economy needs to be revived otherwise it could just send the u. S. Into a massive depression that could be impossible to get out of so one of the reasons that actually this bill fell short sunday night is you actually had 5 republicans you know that were not present because of self quarantine which now has posed the question should senators be able to vote remotely well President Trump says that he sees no problem with it as long as its a certain amount of time until we finally get out of this coronavirus crisis. Now what about whats whats Going Forward i mean we know that some of the people quarantine for example was rand paul right. Did that obviously that probably impacted the vote and i think a lot of people also want to know fair and if he was asymptomatic why was he tested so here is one of the things that i actually forgot to mention too with this new bill a lot of people are saying that this is actually a big power move brought forth by Speaker Pelosi to get something done. But when it comes to rand paul a lot of people are saying that you know why wasnt he tested and hes actually facing a lot of backlash especially on twitter you know he was tested because they said that to believe that a lot of people that he was in contact with might have tested positive as well one of those people who was actually just tested him along and his wife Vice President mike puns. Tested negative but they want to have tested rand paul and its one of those things where theyre saying that why is it that is that a congress to be a senator can write a test with his showing no symptoms whatsoever but you know you had a dad who was like new york my daughter has 104 degree fever and i cant get her a test it was a lot of backlash is exactly the anger coming from the American Public towards politicians on capitol hill so are there any similar to similarities rather between whats coming out of the democrats and the republicans yes so one of the things is actually the amount of money that each of american would get its just one of the things thats in both of these bills but again its all about the age old argument between democrats or republicans corporations versus people so you have regrets republicans trying to also throw some last minute stuff in these bills to try to get them you know pass through knowing that they havent passed before so its a tit for tat here ok real quick bottom line are people going to get checks and when can they get it so actually most americans again would get at least a 1000. 00 but theyre still talking about different brackets for example if you make less than 65000. 00 or 75000 but u. S. Treasury secretary steve he says that his department would be responsible for either sending out the checks via mail or direct deposit if hypothetically lets say a bill gets passed within that least this week americans could actually see money starting april 6th well yeah all right so well see how that goes verizons i thank you for following this very complicated issue right now.

Be impacted the coronavirus many worry that its impact on the economy is only just beginning reporting in washington rachel. And florida is among the states being hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic as the cases there continue to grow American Made relies a lot. Some are criticizing the states governor for not doing enough to stop the spread r. T. Correspondent john hardy has the latest for us from miami. Well the case is here in florida continue to increase sharply thats the bottom line to give you an example last week Milling Around this time there were roughly about 150 cases of confirmed cases of corona virus here in the state of florida well today right now at this moment as we speak the state is reporting 1171 confirmed cases that number continues to grow and one number that i keep looking at very closely are the number of pending tests and there are more than 500 at this point more testing is being done slowly but more of the drive through testing locations have been set up particularly here in south florida so as that continues expected that the numbers are going to continue to increase dramatically said last week in the city of miami and Miami Dade County but it could shut down all nonessential Government Operations and then the order was given for all nonessential businesses to close were talking about bars and nightclubs also the city and county parks and beaches have all been shut down that basically happened throughout last week from about tuesday on now the restaurants that do remain open are open only for takeout and or delivery youre not seeing anybody going in and sitting you know and having having drinks and having cocktails or having dinner in the restaurant so that is not happening here one of the problems in miami and basically throughout florida particularly central in northern florida has been keeping people. Sickly has been getting them to self isolate keeping them off the beaches out of the parks. Basically in self isolation some parks particularly here in south florida in the miami area have been crowded over the weekend we really saw that a lot of parks as crowded as ive ever been walking paths in many areas especially overrun with teams of joggers and people who you know even out there with personal trainers people doing yoga that kind of thing there was also the controversy of course speaking of last week and the video that went viral of all those spring breakers in south beach basically partying away with some defiantly saying that they continue to party regardless of the coronavirus well Miami Dade County tried to basically put an end to that by shutting down the bars and nightclubs and ultimately the beaches throughout the county though some say that wasnt done quick enough and it should have been done a lot sooner theres also controversy here over the weekend mill about the party boats and yachts still taking groups of people out on biscayne bay i saw a numerous ones on saturday doing exactly that also to one popular sand bar off my beach that was essentially packed with people partying in some areas shoulder to shoulder in response the mayor of Miami Dade County closed their marinas and boat ramps to try and stop that from continuing Florida GovernorRhonda Santos though has not issued a state wide order closing the beaches instead essentially leaving it up to the various cities and counties even today he said he doesnt think a mandatory shelter in place policy would be good for the state one thing he did do though and this just came out a short time ago is that hes basically saying if anyone is traveling from new york to florida then they will be required to have a mandatory 14 day self quarantine ok so that order was just put through. At this point though as far as not basically giving the order to close all the beaches taking a lot of hate. That he continues to with at this point one lawsuit being filed against the governor of the santos demanding that he close all the beaches and that it wasnt done soon enough but so far Miami Dade Broward and palm beach counties here in south florida have all essentially shut down today a group of more than 75 emergency room doctors nurses and physicians physicians assistants here in the miami dade area issued an open letter to the residents of Miami Dade County policing with them to stop going out to stop going to the parks to stop going out and basically fraternizing and basically dismissing the threat of this disease saying that this testing ramps up quote the number of confirmed cases will explode it is a dangerous threat to all of us and quote i know about to just mind blowing john that people are just disregarding all of us john how do you live for us in miami thank you.
