Griff in South Carolina and Retail Stores and some beaches are expected to reopen sometime next week. Im Griff Jenkins in washington, pete and jillian up in new york. Good morning guys. Jillian good morning. Pete give jenkins is fired up. You heard him before the show. He is raring, ready to go. We have a great show for this morning. Governor Asa Hutchinson, republican from arkansas. The governor will be with us. Devin nunes and mark johnson and dr. Siegel and dr. Saphier. They will give us texture and flavor to this moment. Talking about how the spread has been slowed although it is different across the country. Youre seeing protesters taking to the streets, saying hey, time to reopen. Griff those protests here in the annapolis area is only 30 minutes from d. C. Maryland, one of the hardest hit in this area, governor hogan, a republican governor, trying to do what he can to protect the safety of his residents. But you see all the cars are lined up i heard for miles in annapolis, yesterday. Voicing their opinion. They are upset. They want their Constitutional Rights heard, guys. Jillian absolutely. This scene is playing out across the country in multiple scenes and multiple states. You will see protests across the nation. People are struggling, want to get back to work. There is a way to do it with a fair balance of getting businesses back open where you can social distance, where you can take into account all the protocals we have to do. In addition to still watching the Health Factor in this. To watch to see where we are with the vaccines. To listen to what our experts are telling us. These two things combined are what is going to be important. The last thing anybody wants is to get back to work too early, to have to go through this again. There is certainly a balance. Pete that is what the protesters were saying. There were protests texas, nevada, new hampshire. Some. Protesters spoke to the media yesterday. Here is what they said. They need economic engine up and running. If this happens a month or two. Well have not have a city to come back too. Tired of the state shut down. If i ban to go to church on sunday, but i can go to work at Las Vegas Convention center, five days aweek, eight hours a day. It is absurd to think thats okay but shut Everything Else down. Were here for our freedoms. We need to open up california. People need to get back to work. We feel like our freedoms are being taken from us. Pete we missed california and salt lake city. First freedoms. Why are you arbitrarily shutting down places of worship, ability to access the second amendment, right to assembly in some cases. There was a woman arented. Cite notice new jersey attempting to organize one of these which feels very unamerican to a lot of people. Jillian i mentioned there will be rallies and protests continuing throughout the country. See here scheduled between april 19th and may 2nd. Rallies across the country. I think sometimes you need to take a step back here. I personally have not had anyone in my family or close circle impacted by this i know people who i love dearly who lost Family Members to this. If you havent experienced it i think you have one idea in your mind. If you have experienced it, i know people who lost multiple loved ones. People need to step back for a second. What is the best way to do this, get all these things done at once in compliance with the rules we need to, in compliance with what Health Officials are telling us. Being able to be smart, getting business and economy back open so people can get back to work. Griff that is important, jillian. The guidelines released by white house, before you get to phase one, you have to have a 14 period of downward trajectory in cases. More than 20 states, i believe that 24 believe they were did i for for phase one, reopening, a gating criteria. At same time live free or die principle is the corner stone of our country. President trump saying some of the governors went a little far with putting these restrictions in place. Here is what the president said at the white house. And i just think that some of the governors have gotten carried away. You know, we have a lot of people that dont have to be told what theyre doing. They have been really doing everything we asked them. We have a few states where frankly i spoke to the governors and i could have gotten them to do, if i wanted to do what woe have been perhaps politically correct, but they have been doing incredibly anyway. Pete i think the president is speaking to the balance youre referring to jillian. You can do both things at the same time. Take very seriously impact this had on tens of thousands of americans at this point. Also realize, every job, every business is essential to the person who has it. There is a huge double standard right now that im hearing from people everywhere. So the Big Box Stores, targets, walmarts, your home depots, theyre open selling all the stuff that the momandpop stores which are smaller, maybe three, four people on staff, who could easily social distance and manage the amount of people in there, those stores are told to be closed. What about the livelihoods of those people who sell things, Retail Stores, South Carolina, opening up Retail Stores after two weeks. That is because in South Carolina they can do that. When governors dont apply common sense and theyre draconian, especially about religious worship. The president pointed out will there be a double standard on ramadan versus easter, well watch that closely. People start to get their sire up. Feel like at local level common sense is not being applied. Jillian nancy pelosi was asked about this, people taking this out to the streets and protesting. Here is what she had to say. People are taking to the streets, pushing back against some of the more stringent restrictions in some states. Can you understand why theyre doing that . No, not really because what we have to do is, is shelter in place. That is really the answer. Testing, tracing, treatment, shelter in place. And i do think that it is unfortunate you but you know people will do what they do but the fact is, were all impatient. We all want out but what theyre doing is really unfortunate. Pete is there more, a more out of touch person in american politics than nancy pelosi . As she stands in front much her 24,000dollar ice cream freezer and talks about, and stonewalls the fund for the ppp, another 300 billion that is needed for Small Businesses because they cant get it, she then doesnt understand why people might look at these governors and wonder why the measures are so heavyhanded. Not a good look foreher. Griff she has a challenge now, she is in control of the house of representatives and she obviously held out on phase, the third stimulus package. Now this need for a fourth one, looks like concessions will have to be made. As Small Businesses continue to make tough decisions, many going out of business without the new 250 billion being added to ppp, picking and choosing who to offend doesnt seem like a path to bringing everybody together because it will take unity to get these big spending bills across the finish line. Pete thats true. Jillian i will just end with this. Every day matters. Some businesses at this point will not come back. For those businesses on the line right now, every single day in this battle matters. Pete very true. We have a live look at capitol hill where lawmakers inching closer to fourth Coronavirus Relief package as griff mentioned. Giving struggling aid to Small Businesses. David joins us from arlington, virginia, as bipartisan efforts are underway. David, good morning. Reporter griff was mentioning ppp, 200 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says congress very close to a deal when they get back. President trump is calling on members of congress to call back as soon as possible to replenish the fund, 250 billion for specifically for the ppp, Paycheck Protection Program. For the employers to keep employees on their rolls. It ran out when the Small Business administration reached 359 billiondollar lending limit as part of the cares act. We have already processed nearly 350 approximately dollars to 1. 6 million Small Businesses across the nation to keep American Workers on the payroll. So were asking the democrats to get it done. This should be bipartisan. This should be 100 vote. Reporter house Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a letter to colleagues wrote, quote, i am pleased to report we have been engaged in bipartisan negotiations on our interim legislation and our progress is encouraging. We are also working on cares 2 to prepare for the path ahead to support the lives and livelihoods of the American People. Recognize to key to opening our economy, testing treatment, Contact Tracing and quarantine, end quote that from house Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She says were very close to a deal. Members of congress could be voting on this according to sources in congress and administration either tomorrow or tuesday. You can hear more from the House Speaker with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. Pete she will be on today. David, appreciate it. We have great guests talking about the possibility of the bill being passed. I want to talk about what the president talked about yesterday which is china. We will bring you new information a german newspaper pointing the finger at china, pointing who is at responsible. President had words on it yesterday. Watch. We should be back at work doing the work of making sure that Paycheck Protection Program has the resources it needs to help Small Businesses and help families but got all the task forces meeting. One at the white house the Vice President overseeing doing a great job. Other task forces around the country meeting but the one task force that is supposed to meet to address big issues that face our nation is the United States congress and were not in session and the speaker of the house says were not even coming back into session until may 4th. Well, if they were knowingly responsible certainly. If it was a mistake, a mistake is a mistake. But if they were knowingly responsible yeah, there should be consequences. Youre talking about, potentially lives like nobodys seen since 1917. I think you have numerous countries waiting to see whether or not sleepy joe wins because if sleepy joe won, they own our country. For years ive heard by 2019 china will catch us. There is only one problem. Trump got elected in 20 sift. Pete only one problem, griff, the second clip was the right one. Your thoughts . Griff the facts are china knew about it, knew about the spread. Knew it was humantohuman transmissible, in a rate we havent seen in modern history, lied about it. Continued to deny origins of it. Instead blaming u. S. For politicizing it. When you talk about accountability, whether there should be consequences, you only look as you mention in germanys largest newspaper, the editorinchief there calling on china to come clean, taking them head on. Also germanys government, india, uk, taiwan, there is a global Pressure Campaign coming right now to get china to come clean and lets not forget the w. H. O. Who appears to at best look the other way, at worst, aided and abetted in the spread. Jillian look well have much more about this coming up in the next few hours. When there is coverup of that magnitude, you have to figure out what needs to be done. Lets talk about other headlines were following. We again with this overnight a Texas Police Officer is shot and killed in an ambush attack. The suspect opening fire on officers as they responded to a domestic dispute at an apartment complex. Two other officers were shot. Theyre undergoing surgery in a hospital in critical condition. The officer who has not been identified is the 15th cop killed in the line of duty this year. Hospitals are scrambling to handle an unforeseen crisis of dialysis machines shortages. New york times reporting that hospitals are in dire need of the machines as they see a surge in patients dealing with kidney failure. Doctors estimate, 20 to 40 of coronavirus patients in icu suffer from kidney failure and need emergency dialysis. New york city mayor bill de blasio is urging people to snitch on their neighbors who are not social distancing. When you see a crowd, when you see a line that is not distanced, when you see a supermarket too crowded, anything, all you got to do is take the photo, and put the location with it and bang, send a photo like this and we will make sure that enforcement comes right away. Jillian people can send the photo to 311692. Mayor de blasio vowing to take action against defenders including a 1000dollar fine. Those are the headlines poet pete now he wants us to spy on each other. Coming up, the wuhan lab under investigation for the g. Coronavirus outbreak. Can we believe them . Of course not. Could have been stopped in china before it started. And it wasnt. The whole world is suffering because of it. If they were knowingly responsible certainly. If they, if it was a mistake a mistake is a mistake but if they were knowingly responsible, then, yeah, there should be consequences. Pete President Trump suggests china could face consequences over coronavirus they were knowing responsible . As a representative of the wuhan lab speaking publicly for the first time, telling Chinese State broadcaster, as we said early on no way this virus came from us. We have a strict code of research so we are confident of that our next guest says it is time is not now to forget the true nature of the virus. Jim, thanks for being with us, this morning they say no chance it could have come from them. Well it almost certainly did and the question whether it came from the wuhan lab whether it came from another source, they covered it up once it started and thats the true crime against humanity. They knew it was human to houma transmissible. They hid it from the world. They disappeared the evidence and disappeared the doctors and take away our chance potentially stopping it from becoming a global pandemic. Pete what should the president do to make them bay because we know the evil nature of this regime . They cant be trusted and we cant disentangle ourselves from china as we would like to. Secretary mnuchin said we should help u. S. Companies that do work in china to come back here, come back to the United States this is perfect art of the deal moment for President Trump. He has got all the leverage because the world knows this is chinas problem. He should use that to make some massively good for us, trade deals with the chinese. Pete jim, put us inside of the head of the Chinese Communist party. What is the play behind covering up, disappearing scientists, delaying letting the world know, denying on the back end, even all the evidence is against you, what are the communists trying to do . Avoid blame. You know the nice thing about an authoritarian regime is you can do things like make a city disappear. They more or less disappeared wuhan for a while. They shut it down. They ran people away. And what they did was use their authoritarian, totalitarian powers to shut down media, shut down any ability to report and they tried to hide it hoping it would go away. Unfortunately for the world it didnt and now it is time to hold them and global organizations like the w. H. O. That helped them, that colluded to hide them from the world, hold them accountable in some sort of tribunal or lets fire the wholeup of the w. H. O. And start over. Pete absolutely i could not agree more. Now is precisely the time to bring all that manufacturing, all the business home here, and follow the abcs anywhere about china. Jim hansen, thank you very much, for your insight and your service. We appreciate it. Good to be with you, pete. Pete got it.
