Guys, back to you. Connell interesting, lauren, thank you. Next up blake burman in washington with summary of what turned out to be a busy day at the white house. Where do you want to start, blake . Reporter i dont know, ive been on the phone the last 20, 30 minutes, connell. There has been a lot of news out of the white house. Lets start with questions about potential exposure of covid19 and President Trump because the white house confirming today the first known case of covid19 within the white house t happens to be one of President Trumps valets. Now fox is told that that person started feeling ill earlier this week. That person has not been on campus within the last several days or so. It of course brings up questions about the president s own health but the president said that he has been tested. The Vice President has been tested as well. Everything has been okay. Listen here. I had very little contact. Mike had very little contact with him. Mike and i were tested. We were both tested. Reporter [inaudible] a little bit strange. But one of those things. Reporter okay, connell, some news coming out within the last few minutes that weve been able to confirm through u. S. And chinese sources is that the u. S. Trade representative Robert Lighthizer and vice premier of china, liu he we are told are expected, i stress expected, as you see the president coming out to speak, next week via telephone. That reason why that is important. The president said he would get an update on the china phase one trade deal at the end of next week that fits in with that timeline. Send it back to you as were about to hear from the president. Connell that was important information, blake, that we will follow up on yesterday, when the president talked about china. We will certainly continue to follow that today. The president and first lady are attending White House National day of Prayer Service in the rose garden. Those are that beginning now. Back over to melissa. Melissa here now to react to all of this is bill mcgurn, wall street journal columnist and a fox news contributor. Bill, let me ask you first about those unemployment numbers. Even though we said there were fewer people going on unemployment this week than there were in the past were still at a record enormous number of people out of work and one thing that struck me was this poll from the Washington Post that found that 77 of people who have been furloughed or laid off expect to get their job back when this is over. They think they will be rehired. Are they overly optimistic . Well, we dont know. I do think that because this economic problem didnt start with like weakness in the economy it started with, you know, a pandemic, i think that theres a sound case for saying that when the economy springs back, it may spring back very quickly but that is a lot of dislocation as you were saying. Again, i think it is small consolation that numbers didnt rise but it is building on top of a very large mountain of people out of work. You know, just what i see, im lucky, im not out of work, i can draw my paycheck but i know a lot of people that are struggling. A friend of mine had to close his garage. Lots of people suffering in ways and they see no end. Melissa yeah. You know we, you heard blake say a moment ago the chinese premier and lighthizer getting together again to talk. We seemed like made progress on the china problem. That seems like so many issues ago when we were talking about trade but now, you know, as you say, we do not want to trade with them, we dont want to get anything from them, but no, we had this deal where they were going to buy food from our farmers. Right. Melissa there were a lot of issues out there. Does that pile problems on top of problems now . I think it does. My view of china i believe we should trade with them. I think people have learned about the vulnerability when youre entirely, supply chain is entirely dependent on china now but my other view the Chinese Government is not honest and well always have problems with trade with china. They will not go away forever because they dont abide by the rules. Melissa yeah. In times of, one of the biggest concerns is about people making more money right now temporarily while theyre not working, what incentive do they have to go back. I said this before but i talked to a whole bunch anecdotally Small Business owners say they cant get people to come back. Someplaces were opening today. They did find people. Does the rational set in that when music ends there may not be that many jobs . So if you have a job calling you back, you might make more money until july sitting home you should get back to work . Is there rationale coming to a lot of people . Do you want [inaudible]. Tremendous problem. Perhaps worst move the federal government has made. So what you have is the federal, sort of bonus for people unemployed at 600 a month. That is on top of whatever unememployment benefits they get in their state. For a lot of people, that is a lot more than working. We had an article by a guy from portland who runs a business basically supplies chefs and restaurants with workers and he pointed out in their state, for a lowlying cook or something, they would normally earn 600 something a month. With these benefits theyre getting 1000. You cant expect people to take a pay cut to go back to work. I think what youre, you put your finger on such an important problem because even if a lockdown is lifted, and they say they can go back to work, people find it better not to work, if that doesnt change, i think until end of july, were going to postpone a recovery. It was such a boneheaded rule. Youre one of the few people that have paid attention to it. Melissa yeah. Well on that note, bill mcgurn, thank you. See you soon. Connell . Connell we have a fox business alert, melissa, on ubers results. You may have seen susan li joins us, the numbers crossing at the bottom of the screen while melissa and bill were talking. They lost more money than expected. Susan thats right. Take you through why they lost more money than anticipated. But actual numbers in terms of profit, they lost a buck 70 per share. Analysts were looking for8 cents for8 cents 88 cents loss. Theyre talking about impairment charges. Meaning we know uber is a global company. They own stakes china, uber in china. They say they lost money because value of these Companies Went down the First Quarter of this year. They said analysts didnt actually right that price it that in correctly into the model. This loss is much wider than anticipated. Sales came in better than expected first three months. 3. 54 billion. That is how much they made. Gross bookings how you gauge ridehailing t went up the first three months of year which is surprising. They actually beat the street. Think about it globally we went through clone clone in china, asia pacific around the middle east where uber also has operations as well. Maybe not as good as lift. Lyft more of a pure play here in the u. S. Uber says this was better than expected. Uber eats, were stuck at home, being quarantined. Eats up 54 . Were hoping on Earnings Call well get more guidance how much eats is doing First Quarter of april. What about recovery in ridehailing since a lot of these markets have been hammered down 80 or so . Guidance for profitability, when will the company make money outside of expenses . They had until the Fourth Quarter of this year. They pulled that guidance. Maybe well see profitability this year or next year early 2021. Guys . Connell interesting, susan. The stock down more than 4 . That is uber. Before weigh we let you go have news on apple. Tell us that. Susan Companies Across the u. S. Want to see the u. S. Economy open as well. Theyre investing 10 million into this california test kit maker hoping to expand testing kits to a million a week by the month of july. I caught up with the chief operating officer, apple number two behind tim cook and i spoke to him about what apples doing in the economy right now especially in these tough times. We had 33 million americans filing for unemployment. What about apple and what theyre doing with their headcount. One of the things weve done during this period weve continued to pay our retail store employees. Were paying the hourly workers. Even our, even contractors supporting us because as i said, im bullish on, bullish on where things are going in the long haul. We need those skills. Were going to invest through these challenging times. Were not going to, were not going to attack this problem by cutting. Well not save our way to prosperity. Susan theyre investing 10 million to make the tissing kits. That will be a 10 milliondollar investment. Theyre sourcing 30 million facemasks and face shield which is made in illinois. Theyre giving and shipping 10 million of these to the front line staff to make sure they are protected but if you will have anybody make any shields for you probably want the most successful hardware devicemaker in history doing that, right, guys . Connell that makes sense. Thank you, susan li covering a lot of ground for us today. Uberand apple. Melissa. Melissa yeah. Thanks for that. All right. At least 3. 8 million cases worldwide.
