Today and honored to work with him in a very bipartisan way. Everyone coming together to make sure its all coming to fruition today. Evil who can see the chamber now will see that we are keeping a distance from one another. Not out of hostility but on the love for one another that we may not that we may keep one another healthy and safe. I want to thank republicans it uppercuts for coming together and setting aside their differences and putting america first. Largest stimulus package in history where is over 2,000,000,000,000. 4 trillion in capital made available by the federal reserve. The package comes as the operator reaches new heights with a total number of u. S. Cases now more than 100,000 in the death toll surpassing 1600. Box coverage now jeff paul standing by in the l. A. Newsroom and beginning with which edmund leifelive for us. They all approved a colossal emergency build to inject more than 2 trillion into the economy. This afternoon at the white house, the president signed the legislation designating Government Funds to families, Small Businesses, corporations, local governments, Health Care Facilities. We will deliver urgently needed relief to our families, nurses, doctors, and businesses and this is what its all about. That the federal government has to figure out how to get the money out in the new law authorized as the irs to send onetime payments of up to 1200 to millions of americans. Those with children, 16 years and a younger can get up to 500 per child and the payments gradually fading out based on income until they disappear fora Single Person earning 99,000 a year or more. Secretary Steve Mnuchin expecting the government to issue the payments within the next three weeks. The measure also offers about 377 billion in guaranteed loans to Small Businesses and crates about a half a trillion dollars in government lending programs from Larger Companies and a 100 billion for hospitals and also expanding Unemployment Benefits and offers aid to state and local government. All designed to help a battered American Economy but theres been criticism especially among democrats who say this amounts to a taxpayer corporate bailout. The lawmakers from both parties refused to block it. As it spreads more than 2 trillion across the u. S. Economy. Congressional leaders also say that more might be on the way. Legislation that we pass today is a very big down payment but we have much more to do. When they talk about this as 2 trillion and all that it does for the workers and the famili families, its the least that we can do and we have much more to do. With businesses across the country closed and the later lar department say it nearly hit 3. 3 million Unemployment Rate up major stock markets down more than 20 from last month highs and they now settle into a pattern of major gains in major losses and not seen since the financial crisis of 2008. Trace. Trace rich come out s in d. C. And thank you braden sovereign states moving back to welcome travelers from the newark area and texas, for the,d warning people from people from new york to selfquarantine for 14 days and if connecticut officials are playing with new york is not convinced unless absolutely necessary. Rhode island taking a bit further and state police that are pulling over drivers with new york plates. This all comes as new york counts for nearly 45,000 of the 100,000 National Cases of coronavirus. Fox news correspondent jeff paul live for us in the newsroom grade trace, doctors are painting a grim picture of whats happening and something that theyre scared, others remarking its not only a battle for their patients, but also for their own lives. The hospital space getting maxed out in the National Guard is helping convert the center to a Field Hospital in the first 1,000 overflow the facility being built for each new york bureau and other surrounding country. Also a Navy Hospital ship do to arrive on monday and all this very much needed and more than 6,000 are already hospitalized with the coronavirus. 1600 of which are in intensive care. Is a war zone. A medical war zone, working with limited resources and the pain and suffering we seen not only those afflicted with the coronavirus, but those were coming in for trauma. Pediatric emergency and the other kind of emergency. In new york awaits its stable ship and los angeles welcomed its 1,000 bed hospital ship on friday. If docked at the port of los angeles and take on noncoronavirus related patients. The ship could not come at a better time as ellie prepares for work of possibly a similar surge in cases that new york has experienced. Over the past few days, Los Angeles County reported 678 new infections are bringing the total they are to nearly 1500 and with testing increase it, doctors are preparing for even more people who need treatment in the coming weeks. Were really at a disadvantage here in l. A. County and the rest of california because we really just have not done a lot of testing yet. As we get more and more test results back, were able to have a better sense of what we called the spread, how easily is it spreading and we call it in the tax rate and understand it better. California air governor gavin newsom estimates at this rate the state will need some 50,000 additional hospital beds and a vote that he and l. A. Mayor Eric Garcetti are pushing social distancing and the stayathome order so hard rate of the mayor even saying hes willing to step up enforcement and considering shutting off power to nonessential businesses the refused to close. Trace. Trace at jeff paul, live in the newsroom, thank you. If staying indoors to avoid the coronavirus, but theres more that we should be protecting ourselves from than just a virus. Covid19 already crippled key aspect of the food supply chain, health care, government and the foreign and domestic enemies are clearly taking notes. The fallout from the terrorist attack is tragic under normal conditions, but our Current Health pandemic would make it exponentially worse. With threats of terrorism are wrapping up and the recent ices newsletter called for attacks on western Health Care Systems, once a premise, neonazi groups are making threats and theres even reports of everyday people intentionally topping on others to spread field. But the Justice Department is that they are saying there aggressively investigating threats to Homeland Security and bring in charles, for near Senior Advisor at the department of Homeland Security and the former secret Service Advisor and agent and thank you for being here and joining us. Would you think of the dhs memo that terrorists could be trying to take advantage of the pandemic . Thank you, trace, good to be with you its the right thing and thats why the department of Homeland Security exists. Its a pass vital intelligence to the over 800 federal state and local Law Enforcement officers across the country. To advise them of the threats and planning for attacks. The fii also issued similar alerts out of their local field offices to the same Law Enforcement agencies. Theres some redundancy there for those on the front line to hear from both dhs and doj through the fbi and emerging at this point. As he alluded to, the two groups dont take a break and as a matter of fact, during a pandemic these two groups actually view this as a vulnerability for the United States. Whether or not betting on is the fact that similar to the Health Care Workers that we have working so valiantly across the country, we also have Law Enforcement offices and all levels providing the stability and confidence in the community. Trace charles, we talked about the isis letter and the whole ices newsletter calling on the follower is to attack the Health Care Facilities and what else did you glean from that . Are you hearing anything else that targets certain things and threats might are coming in . Yeah, i would say while this specific to hospitals which you know, they monitor, they prize and they see that our Health Care System is certainly being stressed. But i would say Critical Infrastructure across the board needs to remain vigilant. Sometimes, youve got to be careful about when there is such a very specific threat that they could actually cause you to take your eye off in straigh structue country. Unfortunately, were dealing with a lot right now and when the things we need to Pay Attention to are those threats and the potential planning for attacks from both our foreign and domestic adversaries. Trace keep your eye on the ball, also, theyve got their eye on this and want to play a sound bite from director christopher rate and get your thoughts on the other side. With all the worry and uncertainty thats out there, we want the public to know that there still things that they can count on. We are here, we are going to stay here to protect them. No matter what. Because her criminal and National Security adversaries took a day off whether its for the coronavirus, or for that matter, anything else. Charles, people wonder if federal and state and local authorities are ready and i say that because look, theyve got a lot on their mind and some of the families might be sick and some of the kids might be home so youve got a lot of people who are working in Law Enforcement around the country who might be a bit distracted and would you say to people to convince them that the frontline of Law Enforcement already. Well, you know, we all know theres additional stressors on everybody and health, financial, we understand that. But what makes these people different, just like how i will refer to the Health Care Workers again, is the intention to go in every single day and make a difference. For Law Enforcement, thats not only responding to reports of crimes, its also preventing in this case. The fbi is out there doing great work. You know, just on thursday, we had an fbi operation where suspect was shot and killed. The premise of that investigation was that it was this prospect in the investigation has been going for us quite some time where the suspect wanted to bomb a local hospital in the suburb of kansas city. Now this is the specific covid19 coronavirus connection because while his planning was initially a little further stretched out, he actually sped up his planning which cause the fbi to take quicker action because he wanted to time this with whats going on in the pandemic in the country. So what were seeing is that were seeing the pandemic serve as some type of triggers in terms of specifics targeting. However, the threads we have to assume is always going to be out there. Trace i wonder what you make of the threats were seeing and maybe theyre not threats but theyve been charged with you know threatening terror and people going in and doing idiotic things like licking items at walmart, purposely copping on other people in grocery stores, workplaces. If we do think of the threats and is this just nonsense or is it something that really should be on the raider of . Certainly on the radar of Law Enforcement but Law Enforcement deals with this on a regular basis anyway. In terms of spending and other acts that unfortunately that suspects do each and every day. In terms of the coronavirus though, if somebody were to cough specifically on a Police Officer with the intention of spreading the coronavirus, i mean, you have an assault and that the minimum for sure be charged. But youve also heard doj talk a little bit about the Deputy Attorney general level that this could be some type of terrorist act. Im not a lawyer, so i will kind of watch how that will play out if and when its charged. But certainly, you referred to the food supply in the food change. I mean weve got people going into supermarkets and putting other people at risk. You know, may be simple assault charge is not enough with the turns enough to punish somebody with mep you need to see the terrorist avenue for charging. Because it certainly is and it could be a lethal threat and Charles Marley i moreno, the gig on. The virus continues to create hot spots and warm spots from coasttocoast and lying thousands of miles off the chorused as hawaii and it continues to remain under the radar from coronavirus with just 120 confirmed cases and so far, nobody has died. The island is kind of a natural state of isolation. What exactly has hawaii learned from being so far away and a little behind the rest of the country . Thats next.

Trace hawaii relatively few covid19 cases and only 100 confirmed according to Johns Hopkins, but they feel the effects as tourism and sub standstill during the pandemic. The streets of honolulu are nearly empty and with us now, the family physician as well as e. R. Doctor and Lieutenant Governor thank you for joining us and we measured 120 cases in hawaii right now. But the way could be coming and what are the eye lens burning from new york, chicago, Washington States of the world . First, our hearts there with you guys as you go through the crisis and we all waited. We learned if you lock it down, youve a chance to survive and we took a very bold action and are governor, myself, some of the team and we decided to lock the state down quickly you can prevent the big spread and so we have people in quarantined and as you know, a two week travel ban to hawaii and we love you guys in new york, chicago, d. C. And this is not the time to be traveling so the coronavirus will spread. Trace has there been any pushback because tourism is the number one industry and youre asking people to come in and quarantine for 14 days, its got to be taking a dramatic affect on tourism. Some might be saying, look, we have 120 cases why dont we lighten up a little bit so we dont damage the economy until we at least know more about how many cases and how we track them and where theyre coming from. No, actually because we love our parents and grandparents more than we love tourism and money. We decided we have to save lives and also saw that if you rip the bandage off now and fast and hard, you can actually come back sooner. A very serious about this and of course everybody worries about the economy but we figured a smaller downturn first for a shorter time is better and also what we know about the coronavirus, covid19, the doubling effects of it can be right past you before you know it in just a few days and we saw what happened with italy and spain and on the mainland and so we knew we didnt have the medical capacity to take a lot of criteria. Trace good news and bad news about being on an island, when your secluded see if fewer axes out there and two, your secluded and fewer axes to supply and you said that hawaii has some 4,000 practicing doctors and 9,000 licensed doctors and do you feel like youre prepared if there is a wave hits the island . We are prepared, we slow the spread of the disease efficiently and i think we will have a flattened curve and if we get a big spike like what happened in new york or italy, there is no amount of support and no number of physicians like myself that will be able to provide care for those who need ventilators. If it would be impossible and that 1. 4 Million People in the state we have 561 ventilators available and were trying to ramp up like every other state but were cognizant of the reality which is we have to keep the curve flat like this and it goes inspects real fast and we will see of mass fatalities and we would use our military and were using every line that weve got and reach out across the globe but nobody can sustain the treatment needs and we have that kind of a crushing wave that comes across the ocean end in this case, its a massa massive. Thats the only strategy we can do thats available to us. Trace y
