Fauci says we are headed in the right direction. Every day this seems to be a record of number of deaths. At the same time we see the increase in deaths we are seeing rather dramatic decrease in the need for hospitalization, that is going in the right direction. I say that and i always remind myself when i say that, that means what we are doing is working. Therefore we need to continue to do it. Ashley what we are doing is working says Anthony Fauci, voters seem to like how the president is handling the crisis. His Approval Rating hitting a high of 49 in the latest poll and by the way he has tied joe biden in the president ial race. Just last month he trailed biden in the same poll by nine points. Still there is work to do in america remains worried about their money in 79 say they all worry that the virus will lead to Economic Hardship for the family. The Chip Administration still targeting the reopening of the economy and for 8 weeks and heres what Vice President mike pence says needs to happen to get there. First would be that we are at the end of the coronavirus for most major communities. Another piece of that is that we have therapeutics for americans to take medicines if they contract the disease. Another piece of that is guidance from the cdc, the public institutions, businesses large and small about how to conduct themselves. Ashley joining us now to talk about all of this is a good friend former ceo of c ke restaurants, great to see you. Listen we just mentioned those polls, they seem to suggest the voters like the president s leadership in this crisis, hes had his critics but what do you say. I think the president s during a great job. What people are looking for is leadership, they are not looking for protection grade people are going to make mistakes, things will not happen as timely as we would like, this is the government after all. But the president has been out there every day and fighting for american workers, they have a Great Program passed to help Small Businesses and individuals, he is on tv every day telling the American People what is going on, what he is doing and people are responding. I think hes doing an excellent job. Ashley you wrote an oped piece this week saying that President Trump is being the leader america want right now. His critics say that his daily briefings are erratic and he is going off point and he should allow the doctors to have more to say and he was slow to respond. That is the naysayers and how would you respond to that. When you are getting criticism from rachel maddow, thats a testament to how effective these briefings are being. His critics are trying to take them off the air, they are doing everything that they can to make these briefings look like something they are not. But his polling keeps going up, his job Approval Rating hit out alltime high in the foxhole, his Approval Rating on how he is dealing with the virus. People know what the left is doing, they know how the left has attacked this president and they know what a great job he is doing. I think you see the pulley go up and that is causing this reaction on the left to do everything that they can to try and put roadblocks in front of him. But they will not succeed, he ignores them and moves on. Its really good to see. Ashley by the way, the senate will go home for the weekend after failing to compromise on more Small Business aid. Very quickly before i get to Edward Lawrence on this, how disappointing is that. It is hugely disappointing. Why would there be any delay. If all the president wanted to do in Mitch Mcconnell wanted to do was raise the amount of money available for americans and Small Businesses. Why on earth would you make the political, it makes no sense. The democrats need to come to grips with the fact that this is a pandemic, crisis, stop the politics, get done what needs to be done. Ashley i cannot agree more, its remarkable. Let me bring in Edward Lawrence. Edward, how much money was at stake, where was the impact. The impact the bottom line is jobs, thats a short answer. But the administration believes the future of the Payroll Protection Program is at risk, the treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin said the program will run out of money, take a look at the latest numbers, 145 billion worth of loans in the seven days that this program has been going, nearly 570,000 loans have been written. This is just from Community Banks. The big banks have been taking applications but not yet processed therethrough. When they do that is going to be a massive jump which is what theyre looking out. Nancy pelosi says she does support adding money to the program but she also wants to added extending the food stamp program, she also wants to add in more money for state and local governments as well as hospital money, the republicans, this is where the logjam is, they want to increase that number and move on to phase four where they had the bigger package. Ashley very frustrating. Thank you for bringing us up to speed. Andy, its frustrating to me about the big banks. They have the money, each passing day for a Small Business owner is so critical, they are barely hanging on and yet the big banks are taking the applications but yet to pass any very much needed aid. How critical is this money. It is critical, ive been talking to the Small Business owners that i know people particularly that were franchisees at carls jr. And hardees when iran the company. They need this money and they are having problems with the big banks. I think the banks are a little afraid of whats going to happen when the crisis ends, they were so criticized after the recession back in 2010, 2011 for how they handle things. Theyre concerned with the government is going to do, maybe have President Biden or sanders or Elizabeth Warren down the road who will come after the banks for collecting loans afterwards or tried to do the things Lending Institution should do, i think they are nervous and i think secretary mnuchin is doing everything that he can as President Trump to get them comfort and let them know that they need to get the monies out there, i think they will be successful but you are right, time is of the essence. People need this money now and i hope the big banks catch on and get moving. Ashley absolutely. Andy puzder, great to see a. Thank you for joining us. Boeing by the way considering slashing its workforce, that is not good news. Loren come in and tell us all about it. The wall street journal reported that they could all their workforce by about 16000 workers or 10 through bile offers, early retirement or a last resort, involuntary layoffs. If you recall last week, the ceo made a proposal, he offered voluntary layoff packages, we dont know how many responded but if the numbers were not high enough, then you have this reported phase two, the perhaps 10 . Ashley thats a big amount, a lot of jobs at stake. Now this President Trump could make a big announcement about the struggling Airline Industry very soon. Roll tape. We just completed a meeting with the secretary of treasury Steven Mnuchin and secretary of transportation elaine chao on the proposals regarding the airline in the airline business. We are going to be in a position to do a lot to help them so they keep their employees and save their businesses. That will be taking place i think you can take over the weekend. Ashley the airline certainly could use the help because there has been a huge drop in air travel. Susan and 96 down from last look into the numbers we are only looking at 1,095,000 passengers day over day and last year we are looking at 2. 3 Million People going through the airports. One intensity to being occupied and as a result you have the airlines coming to capacity on average around 71 in their burning through a lot of cash right now according to the Industry Group globally. Theyre going through 60 billion in cash this quarter. This is to refund their passengers in cash which is something the u. S. Government has initiated that they will get any piece of the 25 billion stimulus plan. I think they are still waiting to receive some of the checks but they really needed since i have 30 of their plane parts and up to them since they also have to service and maintain service as part of the stimulus plan they would actually cut a lot more roots right now. Ashley while 96 drop in air travel. Come back lauren, i guess airlines are finding a new use for passenger planes right. Lauren they were removing the seats and actually flying cargo. This started as an experiment but it turns out its a revenue maker. They are bringing masks, electronic, every critical year that need to go around the wor world.

I have warned folks repeatedly over and over that Bernie Sanders supporters are dead serious about the platform, it is platform or else, they could care less about donald trump being reelected because they see their lives being affected the same either or, they have no problem going to the convention with delegates at hand, willing to negotiate and senator sanders will not tell everybody to get behind joe biden and think all is well. Ashley apparently not all is well, that was former Bernie Sanders stoffer, she says bernie supporters will not vote for biden. Lets bring in our good friend doug, former bloomberg poster, doug. She is more right than any democrat would like to hear or think about. It is a huge problem especially since bernie suspended his campaign but says he is still competing for delegates. Whatever that means. Ashley i think he is wanting more influence when it comes to the convention trying to drag joe biden further left, joe biden putting out a couple of things, expanding medicare eligibility and also for giving federal College Student loans, that is a shot out to the bernie bros and sisters, is not enough. I dont know if its enough but it also creates another problem, ashley, and the general election. By bidens a centrist and if he moves far left which he appears to be doing, that will make it that much more difficult for moderates like me and the vast majority of moderate in swing states to be enthusiastic and ultimately turn out for joe biden. Ashley doug, democrats have not had a great history, i was just thinking john kerry, al gore, Hillary Clinton, they have not had the best success have a. I work for one who 12 terms, bill clinton and this is a moderate country, centerright country, and i sort of think in a financial crisis and in a Public Health crisis that we need are Common Sense Solutions that address real problems rather than in an attempt to bring socialism to america. Ashley at the top of the show we talked about the polls, the latest polls that show in fact at one point i guess it was a month ago, joe biden had a ninepoint lead over the president , now they are tied in the president s Approval Rating has gone up nicely with his handling of the coronavirus crisis. All of this spells trouble for joe biden doesnt not. This will be a very close election. And i think joe biden is nothing more than a placeholder for the democrats rather than a real alternative to a president that increasingly is liked by the American People in the american electorate. Ashley talking about what can make a difference, what about the selection of the running mate for joe biden, is there a particular name out there that can really bolster the ticket. Therein lies the problem, i think given the support that joe biden got from minorities, he will be pressured heavily to put an africanamerican, hispanic, person of color on the ticket and that certainly is bright, reasonable and responsible, what he does not do is appeal to moderates in the swing state that are now really, really close that biden needs to win. So somebody like Amy Klobuchar would be an ideal candidate probably will not get the kind of consideration i and other moderates think she got a get. Ashley we have to leave it there, are you in florida or new york . I am in florida on the beach and i am isolating like everybody else but in 80 degrees sunshine. Actually, each are hard out. Ashley i want to point out that your refugee from your own parties tax policy and thats why youre employed in the first place. That is absolutely true and given what the left wing of the Democratic Party is doing i may stay here a long time. Ashley i would not plane you one bit. Great to see you. Thank you very much. Lets get back to uber if we can, they are apparently taking new steps to protect drivers and delivery workers during the pandemic. What are they doing. Susan neubert is going to give millions of their delivery workers and drivers face max which is necessary, they are trained to source from china and they will ship about half a million facemasks to u. S. Located in the hardest hit cities so new york city will be one of the first recipients of that in a source says from china they are looking for more masks but dont forget the going through tough. Because we have booked rides down 50 from just about a year ago and who breeds has seen its orders rise 30 but is that enough to offset what is happening and not ordering their goobers and a lot of these economy workers you have to be concerned for the health and safety but also for employments and money and paychecks. Ashley their paycheck has gone down drastically. Thank you. Either way amazon plan to protect their workers, you could call it more hightech. Lauren this is unbelievable, amazon is assembling the equipment and staff, they are taking people from the research, scientists to their Program Managers in building this team to build their own covid19 testing lab. Amazon trying to build the infrastructure so they could test all of their workers, particularly the frontline workers and then everybody if they have the virus, they say this is the way to eventually safely reopen the economy and give workers and employers confident that we can actually go back to work. But amazon is building a lab to test for coronavirus. Isnt that unbelievable. Ashley it really is. Why not, then into all sorts of our lives right now so why not coronavirus testing. That is remarkable, they have the money and can doing put under. I appreciate it. Disney considering temperature checks when they do eventually reopen their theme parks. How exactly is that going to work. How long will the lines be now. I will ask one of our market watchers who spoke directly with bob iger the head of disney yesterday. We will hear from him.
