I HEARD IT. ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT. >>> LOOK AT THIS.
20,500,000 JOBS LOST IN APRIL.
OH, MAN, WE’RE IN THE DEPTHS.
14.7% UNEMPLOYMENT.
14.7% UNEMPLOYMENT. I SAY WE HAVE GOT TO GET BACK TO
WORK, GOT TO GET BACK THERE
FAST.
FAST. LINDA McMAHON IS WITH US, THE
FORMER SMALL BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATOR.
ADMINISTRATOR. LINDA, IT’S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE
YOU ON THE SHOW.
HERE’S MY PREMISE.
>> THANK YOU, STUART.
STUART: IF WE DON’T GET BACK
SOON, AND I MEAN SOON,
BUSINESSES, SMALL BUSINESSES,
ACROSS THE COUNTRY GO BANKRUPT.
I DON’T CARE WHAT THE
GOVERNMENT’S GOING TO DO FOR
THEM.
THEM. THIS IS AN IMPERATIVE.
WE’VE GOT TO GET BACK.
ARE YOU WITH ME?
>> ABSOLUTELY, STUART.
WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO SEE AS IS
ALWAYS THE CASE, IS THAT THIS
COMEBACK WILL BE LED BY SMALL
BUSINESSES.
BUSINESSES. I MEAN, SHELLY LUTHER WAS A
CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF WHY SMALL
BUSINESSES LEAD THE WAY ON THE
ECONOMY BECAUSE SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERS ARE INNOVATIVE.
THEY ARE ENTREPRENEURS.
THEY ARE GOING TO FIGURE IT OUT.
THEY ARE GOING TO PROVIDE THE
RIGHT SAFETY MEASURES TO GET
CUSTOMERS BACK INTO THEIR
BUSINESSES.
BUSINESSES. THEY ALWAYS HAVE AND THEY ALWAYS
WILL.
WILL. AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SORT
OF, YOU KNOW, GET PAST THE FEAR
FACTOR AND THE WAY WE GET PAST
THE FEAR FACTOR IS TO MAKE SURE
THAT CUSTOMERS ARE GOING TO FEEL
SAFE COMING BACK INTO RETAIL
STORES, HAIR SALONS, NAIL
SALONS, PIZZA PARLORS, ALL OF
THOSE THINGS, RESTAURANTS,
BECAUSE THEY ARE VITAL TO OUR
ECONOMY.
ECONOMY. WE ARE GOING TO SEE SMALL
BUSINESSES DO THAT.
STUART: I THINK GOING BACK TO
WORK, THAT MAY BE A LITTLE
DELAYED BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE
MAKE MORE MONEY STAYING HOME
THAN THEY DID ACTUALLY GOING TO
WORK.
WORK. I THINK THERE WILL BE A LOT OF
PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T LIKE THE JOB
THEY HAD AND DON’T WANT TO GO
BACK TO IT SO IT’S THE BACK TO
WORK ELEMENT THAT I THINK WILL
BE KIND OF SLOW.
HOWEVER, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
COIN, GETTING OUT OF THE HOUSE,
GOING SHOPPING, GOING TO THE
RESTAURANT, GOING TO THE BAR, I
THINK THAT WILL EXPLODE.
I THINK THERE’S A DICHOTOMY I
SEE HERE.
SEE HERE. >> I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT ABOUT
THAT.
THAT. AND THERE IS SOME PORTION OF
THOSE FOLKS WHO WERE EITHER LAID
OFF OR FURLOUGHED THAT I THINK
THE MEASURE OF THE UNEMPLOYMENT
INSURANCE AND THE ADDITIONAL
$600 PER WEEK HAS BEEN VERY VERY
HELPFUL FOR THEM IN MAINTAINING
THEIR HOMES, BEING ABLE TO PUT
FOOD ON THE TABLE FOR THEIR
FAMILY, BUT THERE IS THE OTHER
SIDE OF THAT THAT HEY, THEY
MIGHT HAVE BEEN MAKING A LITTLE
MORE WITH UNEMPLOYMENT THAN THEY
WERE WHEN THEY WERE WORKING
FULL-TIME.
FULL-TIME. BUT I HAVE REALLY FOUND THAT BY
AND LARGE, PEOPLE WHO HAVE JOBS,
GOOD-PAYING JOBS, THEY ARE
SATISFIED WITH THEIR WORK, THEY
WANT TO COME BACK TO WORK AND I
DO THINK THAT PPP WHICH WAS PUT
IN PLACE HAS HELPED SO MANY
SMALL BUSINESSES KEEP THEIR
FOLKS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT
WORKING, YOU KNOW, TO KEEP THEM
ON THE PAYROLL WHICH HAS
OBVIOUSLY KEPT THEM OFF THE
UNEMPLOYMENT ROLLS AS WELL.
SO THEY ARE READY TO COME BACK
AND I THINK THAT WAS THE INTENT
WHEN BUSINESSES ARE OPENED BUT
AS YOU HAVE SAID, STATES NOW
HAVE GOT TO LOOK AT HOW WE
REOPEN SAFELY IN OUR COUNTRY AND
GET PEOPLE BACK TO WORK.
BECAUSE WE ARE A CONSUMER
ECONOMY.
ECONOMY. UNTIL WE GET BACK TO BEING
CONSUMERS, AND CREATE THAT
DEMAND, YOU KNOW, WE’RE NOT
GOING TO SEE OUR ECONOMY COME
BACK BUT WE ARE GOING TO SEE IT
COME BACK, AND I HAVE GREAT
CONFIDENCE AND FAITH IN
PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO KNOWS
EXACTLY HOW TO DO THAT.
HE REBUILT THIS ECONOMY ONCE AND
HE’S THE ONE TO DO IT AGAIN.
STUART: LINDA, I WAS SO PLEASED
TO SEE SHELLY LUTHER WALK OUT OF
JAIL TO A LOT OF CHEERS.
BY THE WAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP
SPOKE ABOUT IT THIS MORNING ON
"FOX & FRIENDS."
LET ME ROLL THAT TAPE FOR YOU.
THEN YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF.
ROLL IT, PLEASE.
>> I THOUGHT IT WAS TERRIBLE.
I THOUGHT HE WAS A TERRIBLE
JUDGE.
JUDGE. THE GOVERNOR AGREED WITH ME
BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR AND THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL, THEY HAVE A
GREAT ATTORNEY GENERAL, SHE’S AN
INCREDIBLE REPRESENTATIVE FOR A
LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT WANT
TO DO THE SAME THING.
THEY WANT TO GET BACK TO WORK.
THESE PEOPLE WANT TO GET BACK TO
WORK.
WORK. EVERYBODY’S DONE WHAT THEY HAVE
DONE AND YOU CAN ONLY DO THAT SO
LONG AND THAT CAUSES DEATH ALSO.
STUART: YEAH, GOOD POINT.
LAST WORD TO YOU, LINDA.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. SHELLY CAME OUT AND SHOWED LOOK,
WE WANT TO REOPEN, WE WANT TO
REOPEN IN THE RIGHT WAY, BUT WE
HAVE KIDS TO FEED AND WE HAVE
THINGS TO DO AND WE MUST
MAINTAIN SAFETY AND HEALTH BUT
WE’VE GOT TO GET PEOPLE BACK TO
WORK AND GET PEOPLE IN OUR SHOPS
AND IN OUR STORES AND IN OUR
RESTAURANTS.
RESTAURANTS. STUART: YEAH.
STUART: YEAH. I JUST LOVE TO SEE THAT VIDEO.
I REALLY DO.
WHAT A WOMAN.
LINDA McMAHON -- REALLY, WHAT A
