State of new york alone. But there are also signs of encouragement in the pandemic epicenter. Steve the number of new yorkers now being admitted into the hospital and placed on breathing tubes is dropping and that is encouraging. Meanwhile the percentage of new cases also in new york also continues to fall. Good morning, everybody. It is wednesday, april 8th. And as we just heard from the president in that soundbite, its going to be a painful week, we are right in the middle of holy week as christians celebrate it. Today is the first day of passover. But when you look at the numbers, and the numbers are grim for the number of people died yesterday alone 1800. When you look at the curve, outside of new york, new jersey and connecticut, impacting cities lyinimpactingcities like. The curve is flatter. What it means is social distancing is working. And it could save lives. Ainsley exactly. When you look at the numbers. The deaths were up yesterday. Highest day yet in those three states at least. But, as the governor was saying yesterday, weeks ago 20 , each day was increasing of people checking into the hospital with this. But over the course, monday over that 24hour period, 4 . So the numbers are decreasing, fewer people are going to the hospital for this. And then weeks later, you are seeing the death toll. So he says this is the result of what might people that had gotten the virus weeks ago. We will be talking to a lot of people during this show. We have senator marco rubio to talk about phase 4 of tax relief. Admiral bret jerome will be on with us. Coronavirus task member. Dr. Nash watt took that Antibody Test yesterday morning. She is going to tell us what the results are and what the results. Dr. Nicole saphier, dr. Marc siegel and dr. Mehmet oz. Brian people are starting to do over to in singapore and europe with that Antibody Test what could actually happen . Also, great news, the cdc is saying you know, when i put into play, i thought 50 of our country was going to do the stay at home shelter in place. I had no idea that america was going to respond like this. Therefore, those forecasts of 100,000 people, 200,000 people way too high. Meanwhile, President Trump is on the offense again. Rips the Worlds Health organization for what they didnt say when china was in the middle of wuhan virus connection. One of the things came out Griff Jenkins they said dont worry about it there is no human to human transference of the virus. Man, was that wrong. Griff yeah, brian, ainsley and steve, good morning. Consider, this the world Health Organization did not declare the coronavirus the pandemic until march 11th at which point already 118,000 cases were in 114 countries and more than 4,000 people were dead. Now, the president is taking a hard look at what happened and thinking about cutting funding. They called it wrong. They could have called it months earlier. They would have known. And they should have known. So well be looking into that very carefully. And were going to put a hold on money spent to the w. H. O. Will. Griff calls are mounting for the International Community for the director general to resign and trrm chinas crisis looking the other way as they underreported cases. Even criticized President Trumps china travel ban back in february. U. S. Is the w. H. O. s largest contributor 122 million authorized for 2020. The Administration Proposed cutting it to 58 million. Look for lawmakers sending millions more to Small Businesses under the Paycheck Protection Program which was dold out 70 billion of the 350 billion originally allocated. Mcconnell, schumer, pelosi, mccarthy about this yesterday. I urge them at the president s request that they get us another 250 billion approved. And we look forward to the Senate Passing that on thursday and the house passing that on friday. This is much needed support. So. We will see. Mcconnell says he hopes to move the ball as early as tomorrow by unanimous consent or voice vote but then it would go to the house. Its washington. Anything can happen. Brian, ainsley, steve . Steve thats a nice way of putting it. Griff jenkins, thank you very much. One other thing Chuck Schumer has said he would like to see essentially what he calls hero pay of about 25,000 per person for people who are risking their lives during the pandemic. People like nurses and truckers and Grocery Store clerks as well. Stay tuned for that meanwhile, lets bring in Charles Payne host of making money on fox business. Charles, as we review what griff just told us, one of the things is the president is threatening to cut the world Health Organization funding because they say they got this thing wrong from the getgo. Its not that they got it wrong but deliberately got it wrong and thats the distinction we need to make here. I dont know if you remember the market was reacting to this every single day. A china story initially. President xi was really aggressive with the world Health Organization and the world. He more or less told them what to say and what to do. And they did. And its really interesting, you know, between their tweets not being contagious human to human but also waiting for china to get it together before declaring it a Global Pandemic. Its absolutely remarkable. I heard griff talk about the 122 million thats authorized. What people need to understand is how much we have given to the world Health Organization voluntarily. From 2010 to 2017, we gave to the world Health Organization 2. 8 billion, 1. 9 billion was voluntary money additional funding wanted to help the world. 42 to africa. 16 to southeast asia. 15 to the western pacific. This is about helping the rest of the world fight polio, fight communicable diseases. We have voluntarily given so much more money we wouldnt be on the call of duty all of those years so americans should be upset but the world should be upset that this whole thing was run by china by president xi. Ainsley charles, lets talk about this headline this morning from fox business. The president was on with sean last night. The president told him more than 70 billion in Coronavirus Small Business loans are being processed right now. Give us an update on the Paycheck Protection Program. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of applications coming through. Obviously a few hiccups initially. Was to be expected. We have never as a nation done this before. Sba which is the conduit for this money and last year gave out or backed all of 28 billion. So go from 28 billion in a year to 350 billion that we are trying to rush out there over a period of weeks. I think getting it together. They are bringing on more. They have changed the program. But there are problems. People are concerned. People are worried. Small Business Owners unfortunately, are in a race against the clock. Every single day matters. The average Small Business has like 24 days cash on hand. We are well into that nfib this week already came out and said 92 of Small Businesses have been impacted. They are clinging by a thread. So this is wonderful news that we are processing these things. Its great news that they are going to add more money to it. I thought 350 billion was a shocking number. So im not surprised that they are putting more money towards. This. Brian dharlscharles im not beg critical just factual the problem is in high price states in states and cities we are in. 75 of money given to payroll in order to make it grant and 25 towards lights and lease are not working out. If you pay your payroll, there is not enough money to pay the lease and the lights, and a lot of these men and women are deciding they would rather get unemployment than come back, whether its personal or just more money. So if you turn around and you say i offered my staff this money, and they turned it down, and its under 75 , your grant becomes a loan, and now you are buried in debt. When and if you open up your doors, the books are going to be buried in red ink. So in major cities, you cant have your payroll and pay your rent. They got to get off the 75 25 thing. You cant make someone take the job. They have their own decision to make. Do you agree . Charles i agree and im doing a town hall virtual town hall special tomorrow, brian. Ive got larry kudlow. Im going to put these questions to him. Small businesses are saying its not enough money. Only goes out 8 weeks. Not enough per employee. The math you just talked about certainly has to be tweaked. Of the unemployment part of this is problematic. And a lot of republicans said this would happen when the cairs act was pushed through. You can make a lot more money and big cities but smaller places or Certain Industries by being unemployed. But, you know, also, Business Owners are telling me that theyre telling these folks that unemployment check is only going to last a few weeks. If you want your job, im going to try my best to keep it for you come to work. If you choose to pick unemployment for a few extra bucks for 8 weeks, thats on you. But i think the administration really needs to understands that there is certain kinks here that must be worked out immediately. The good news is i think they will work them out. Brian quickly. Steve you know, you guys have been talking about Small Businesses but then again, if you are working for a big corporation, charles, with over 500 employees and you have been furloughed you are a different category completely. Im sure this is one of the things you are going to be answering when you come back here in half an hour to answer any Small Business owners questions, right . Absolutely. And they are working on that as well. The Federal Reserve announced it would be buying ppp loans. Something to do with 500 to 10,000 worker category which will be addressed, i them, in the next round or next phase, perhaps phase 4. Ainsley charles, one of the girls that was going to be on. She own as Small Business, she and her husband, a snow cone business. They had to shut down. They to tell their workers they are furloughed cant afford to stay in business. She is coming on the show. She has been applying for these loans. What she is finding out that these banks are triaging everyone that comes in the door. So much paperwork involved. The banks are going to go with the employees that they make the most money with. If someone comes in and gets a 5milliondollar loan that person is going to be at the top of the list. They dual that paperwork first. She is at the bottom of the list she says. She is every day like brian was saying, every hour matters for her. She needs this money so fast. But these banks are so overwhelmed. So you are going to be answering those questions. She is going to be on. We have another individual from texas. He owns a small some restaurants in texas he is worried about it, too. Have you heard these are some of the complaints of people that go to these banks, charles . Oh, absolutely, ainsley. For the record, i own a Small Business. I have already put in my application. So i know the process inside and out. I studied it from day one so i could be able to help people on television but also myself. I have got to tell you when the market crashed in 2,000, 2001 i went from 50 employees to 10. Having to lay people off is the most excruciating thing any Small Business owner can do. It brings to you tears so sad and so tough. Not about losing the business. Its about people who have worked for you so long wanting to help them. I understand the financial bind, the emotional bind that all of those folks are. In i will try my best to answer the question. More importantly i will try my best to make sure that these answers get to the administration. Brian right that will be on virtual town hall one question to keep in mind simply is that the people, the banks that hold the loan have to be backed up by the government because those banks got to forgive the Business Owner and they cant just say they will not charge you for thee months. They have to say we will forgive you three months. You cant tell someone to open up the door to their business and owe three months past rent on their lease. So, therefore, the banks have to go easy on the people that own the building and the government has got to back up the banks. You cant just handle this one thing now and then expect these people to keep their business up. They are all going to walk away. Theyre not all going to walk away, brian. I hear what you are saying my man. In some places payroll is 90 . You know, its businesstobusiness, placetoplace. I get you new york is high rent and new jersey is high rent. The fact of the matter is i believe and im trying to encourage Small Businesses to go for these loans. Go for these loans. Nothing else is out there. This is a lifeline. I believe. Brian if theyre a grant. They have got to be a grant. They will be a grant if you keep employees. Listen, this is not a bailout package for someone to fire everyone and get paid either. There is a middle ground here somewhere, brian. The middle ground is keep your business alive and keep your people employed. I guarantee you on the air that mnuchin and President Trump will find a way to change the rules so people arent punished if their rent happens to be more than 25 of their budget. Steve ultimately, just trying to keep as many people on the payroll as possible. This has never been done on this scale. Its a gigantic experiment. Fingers crossed. Charles is going to be hosting America Works together, a virtual town hall tomorrow on fox business. Its at 2 00. You will be able to participate. So email your questions right there to that address. Charles, thank you very much. We are going to see you back here in about 20 minutes. Charles okay. Steve to answer some questions. Jillian joins us on this very busy wednesday with the news.
