Important things at that time. Much more to get to on that. Welcome everyone. I am neil cavuto and this is your world. This is a day where we reflect on where weve been and right now with a virus where we are going. First, we went to get the read of whats happening in new york with lower angle. Many are going to those speeches. We had a very slow start this morning. It was cloudy and cool. As the sun emerged, so have the people and the great experiment has been on. The people be able to socially distance as they have been asked to do for months once they hit the sand . We have seen a little bit of both as we take it to her across the northeast and around the nation along some beaches in the northeast, weve seen people out and about getting around the sand. Some abiding by the rules, others getting too close for comfort. There was this group of people they returned a hard note on the social distance challenge. Check out this pool party in ozark so the weekend with hundreds of people going shoulder to shoulder with hardly a mask inside. Health Officials Say that these are downright dangerous. We are not out of the words just yet. Also applaud those who are taking safety precautions seriously. We are happy to be here. We are happy to have a nice place to take our kids outside we love the beach. Weve been going to beaches since march and april when the weather started turning. Masks, fine. We are happy to be outside that is one county over from where im standing now. Images leaked out one bar that had a swarm of people knocking back beers friday night. That was not encouraging. The people were calling on 11 to report the crowds. As far as those reopening thresholds that we have been talking so much about here in new york today, Governor Andrew Cuomo said that hes actually going to take himself out of the speculating business announcing we all failed at that business. All of the Early National experts. They were all wrong. They were all wrong. We will have more to come on that front as people continue to enjoy the rest of this memorial day at the beach. Neil they were all wrong, but they are not telegraphing what they are going to do right now. That is their frustration for a lot of folks. Switched to the other coast right now. What is happening in los angeles they beaches reopen. This pent up cabin fever for a lot of folks, once given the opportunity, things could get a little crowded. The very latest in los angeles. Well, its a beautiful sunny day here in california, a good beach day. Local officials to see if people will follow coronavirus restrictions on california beaches during a holiday weekend. Its one of the largest beaches in Los Angeles County and known for its surf. You can see some people not social distancing there. Based on the countys guidelines, they are not able to sunbathe and set up on brothers. Some people are still out on the sand, but they are spread out. For the most part, local authorities and say most beachgoers are following the rules. Social distancing, wearing a mask if they are near other people. Compared to other memorial day weekends, its not as crowded. At that is of l. A. County. People appear to be keeping their social distancing going on there. Authorities are more focused on educating people on ways to stop the spread of the virus as opposed to handing out citations to those not following social distancing guidelines. Heres Huntington Beach and Orange County. In Orange County beaches are back open after the governor issued a controversial order to shut them down after pictures surfaced that appeared to show large crowds of people there just a few weeks ago. Orange county beaches are back open, but they are supposed to be for active use only. You can see people biking there, walking around. They are staying active. People are largely following the social distancing guidelines at beaches here at this holiday weekend. Local authorities had not reported any major problems or acts of defiance. Neil thank you very much. And that california. This is a time where a lot of restaurants are opening. With limited capacity. It depends where you are. Texas, its up to 50 you can fill a dining room. Other places, not so much. I didnt realize that you had restaurants all over the world, even in the united air mets. Half a dozen in the country. Texas is your mainstay. They have the best capacity rules right now. How are you dealing with that . Thank you so much for having us. It has been a challenge for everybody. We hit our basement as a system is 38 down in sails. We have climbed up in this past week. Its a fantastic weekend for us. We are up now i guess last years sails almost 14 . Good news, it has been a challenge. We are happy to help folks back in our dining room. He looks a little different, but thankfully we have been able to serve folks in our online ordering. That is helps keep the pressure on our supply chain so that we are able to have things to serve folks. Some of us competitors have had the challenge when they are getting back into serving. Because weve had an assistant sails and consistent online ordering, weve been able to build back in her welcoming folks back in. 50 is a lot more sustainable than 25 or even less than that. I hate to admit, i know your food is very, very well. I think people are more than happy to walk over broken glass to get it. Well, i appreciate that. Neil it is a very slow process. If texas one thing. Some of these other areas like new york where they have yet to do business is problematic. How do you police all of that i keep track of all of that . It is an absolute challenge. Its a tale of two cities, a tale of two businesses. We have a lot of restaurants that have opened at 25 that we are sitting at 50 . We have restaurants in new york and california are all over appeared at their challenges are great. They had to navigate as you have. Our catering. Folks are looking for that. Because we have that strong online ordering presence, we have been able to not have mass layoffs and furloughs. But it is an exceptional challenge in navigating those regulations. They changed not only by statebystate but by municipality. You can see the floor stickers behind me were asked to help folks distance those sorts of things. We have Hand Sanitizer and moved everything. They are used to that wonderful sauce. Weve gone through is served. We have nothing that is communal anymore in the restaurant. That has been an adjustment for all of our folks. Went up out of the made issue, whether it is pork or beef and all of these processing plants because of the coronavirus and initially hits the meat supply getting to places like grocery stores. How much of that did you have prices have to adjust because of that . It has definitely affected us. Again, thankfully, because we have been able to maintain operations, we took a 33 direct to an pressure on the supply chain. It was as a immediately hit shock wave like our dining rooms emptied out. They had perishable products and all of the Distribution Centers across the country and across the world but they didnt have any outlook for. Immediately froze the supply chain. Ourselves along with some of our other folks in the industry that have been able to keep serving, thankfully, because we have kept that steady supply, we are able to now do better. Certainly, we have seen an increase in prices, specifically in brisket. At that life cycle for the harvest of the animal is almost three years. Poultry is shorter. Using a fluctuation in the commodities market of all markets. Beef has been the longest hit because it has the longest harvest cycle. That will take quite a while to work itself out to the market. The open will see prices stabilized in midjune. All right, real quickly, im always curious. How many keep you up on that . Your food who is ordering the diet mr. Mark i think diet is a relative term, if you will. They have a lot of folks that command that arcade out that are searching for that protein, that is great for them. We also have a lot of folks that come in and indulge. We are happy for anybody that comes in right now. We really appreciate all of our guests. It is made a huge difference in keeping our crews keeping their paychecks. The whole industry feels that way. We are so thankful. Competitors keep you strong and sharpened. We are doing all they can and so appreciative for the business. It diet or not diet. You have been very good to your staff and your customers. Dont they know it and keep going up about it. Imagine all the states and ordinances that you have to follow. All around the world, i dont get that. It is very popular there. We told you about the threat that we close off brazil because of the sudden excavation in coronavirus cases. We have made good on closing all of those traveling from brazil to here. Brazil has the secondhighest number of covid19 cases second only to us after this. I came across sofi and it was the best decision of my life. Were getting a super competitive Interest Rate on our money. Were able to invest through the same exact platform. I got approved for a loan and it was a gamechanger. Truly sofi, thank you for helping me prepare for whatever the future has in store. Could another come aroundot, the corner. Or could it play out differently . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling numbness or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planed medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be your moment. Ask your doctor about eliquis. [ siren ] doug give me your hand i can save you.

Speak to travel restrictions that we now on china and parts of europe need to stay in place as we get the economy back up and running and back open. Need to make sure that we dont have a rebound, we dont have a second flip. And so, those restrictions are very, very important at the moment. Neil well, it has begun. The issue here is brazil right now. Its got a runaway number of cases that suddenly started spiking and uncontrollably so within the last couple of weeks. So much so, it is second to us in both cases and deaths. There is is worsening. This restriction on those coming are having visited brazil to the United States putting all but a moratorium on that. Good afternoon to you. These restrictions are set to go into effect late thursday night. They were rubies similar to what we have seen with other countries. Brazil as he talks about has no secret in terms of the number of cases and has been hit a especially hard. The white house is promising to send ventilators to brazil as early as this week to help. I think one of the hard things about this crisis is that weve had to restrict travel from some of our closest friends and allies. We are going to help them get through it. The white house do not believe the new restrictions will impact trade between the u. S. And brazil. The administration has suggested that more travel restrictions may have to come down the pipeline in the next several weeks and months. President trump and first lady headed out to fort mchenry and baltimore for memorial day. Especially those helping aghast of coronavirus outbreak. President trump as one nation, we mourn alongside every Single Family that has lost loved ones including the families of our great veterans. Together, we will vanquish the virus and america will rise from this crisis to new and even greater heights. The president i briefly had a chance to stop with the first lady outside the tomb of the unknown soldier. The secretary of defense. Neil thank you, my friend, very, very much. A republican in tennessee sits on the House Homeland Security committee and joins us via skype. Always good to have you. Would you make on the restrictions on those traveling from brazil . I would respect where moore could follow. Where are we with this . Thanks for having me on the show. I think it is expected. We look at the accounts that are coming to us from brazil. 300 plus thousand cases. There is a university down there and it predicts that it could be 12 times that. Their ability to track information is different than our ability. If you do 12 times that are ten times that, best 200,000 plus deaths. Its appropriate and consistent with the president would put this restriction on. We are watching their curve very closely and watching the curves all around the world. It is appropriate at this time to hold off on nonu. S. Citizen travel from brazil. We already know that visits from china and the far east are ready in danger of being cut down and very, very low. Do you see anything to change that, or do you advocate since it seems to be the worst of it, we can entertain allowing more into this country. Our things so bad that now is not the time to consider . We have to take into consideration everyones curve. Were treating states differently in newark merely as a different place. I think we can do that in terms of countries overseas and our allies and friends. We want to open up as quickly as we can but it really depends on where they are in their curve. If they are in an exponential growth phase like brazil is, we probably need to stop travel. Do you wonder about this relationship we have with the chinese . The one issue that has come up is the more that we threaten to crack down on how the chinese are cracking down on hong kong, for the worse its going to get between us certainly financial financially. They have more reason to stick to a deal. They could change. It does get out of control. Your thoughts. We are already in a Great Power Competition with china. If you use the diamond paradigm, we have been in Economic Warfare for china for many years. We didnt even know it. The case of motorola is an excellent example. They share their ip information. They undercut them with subsidies from china. It is scrapped for 900 million. Thats what fuels our military. That is what allows us to provide National Security. If there has been a Great Power Competition for a very long ti time. Its like it is gone exponenti exponential. Its informational, cyber hacking, all this stuff. The way theyve handled covid, only icing on the cake to a big problem. If china wants a great relationship with United States, they have to start acting like a friend. The way they handled covid is more concerning. Their response to our response to that is even worse. Al all right, we will watch t closely. We have a lot more after this including all of these crowds you see popping up. You can understand, theyve had cabin fever. They crowd beaches and resort areas. What do you do when they cases rise exponentially with that . That is happening in some plac places. You wont believe where after this.

Neil i know looking at these pages for those of you just listening at home on the radio here, theyre going to show whats happening in north carolina, new jersey, new york, california. Its not that people arent speaking to social distancing guidelines, but the weather is not cooperating. Im sure they will under the ideal summer time conditions. It is the weather that is playing a big role here. People are getting increasingly worried that the more people are let out that more will congregate. The spiking cases. They have been numbers like that including the ozarks and arkansas. I can go on and on here. Its something that they worry about. Contagions and the rest. A doctor, you know, when you look at it, people getting out and wanting me out. Its very hard to police the crowds that come as a result. What do you see happening . What are the risks in cases that it comes from Something Like this . Will you see that . It is really tough, neil. I was trying to think about everybody how i would respond. Everyone has been cooped up. Having two young kids at home, i totally understand. Part of what reminds me, the people that we lost. 100,000 people that have died from this disease. There are just numbers and their people. When i looked in the article i saw at least a handful of my own patients in that article. One of them was a respected retired physician. Someone who i spoke to his family about. Trying to remember the people that i think you are really losing when youre trying to decide whether you should be doing something or not. That is what i think we should all be thinking about. I wonder what happens. We will have an inevitable spiking cases. It comes down to how much of us back the authorities are comfortable with. They focus on other things like hospitalizations and those that are they cases themselves, a small percentage are positive. They like to keep that under 3 . When deaths rise, and you have a spiking cases that happened in germany and italy, they have all been manageable enough to continue using restrictions. What do you think about that . I think thats a good point. Its really tough. We dont have a cure. We dont have a vaccine. Youre starting to get some treatments coming along. We are still managing this by exposing a lot of people. That has to be a staged approach. We dont have any evidence right now for how to do that. We definitely know that if you open a very widely, it may be tough to manage that as well. Its almost a certainty that we will see more cases popping up. How many of them will there be . It only takes a few to get out of control. Opening up in a very slow stage process, it takes anywhere from two or three or four ways
