CHERYL: WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS COMING INTO FOX BUSINESS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SENT A
LETTER TO THE NATION’S GOVERNORS
SAYING THAT THE ADMINISTRATION
IS WORKING ON NEW CORONAVIRUS
GUIDELINES.
GUIDELINES. SO HE SAYS NEW DATA, CDC, OTHER
GUIDANCE WILL COME ON COUNTY BY
COUNTY BASIS.
COUNTY BASIS. THAT MAY SUGGEST DECREASING OR
INCREASING SOCIAL DISTANCING
DEPENDING WHERE PEOPLE ARE,
WHERE THEY LIVE.
REMEMBER THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES IS EXPECTED TO
VOTE ON THE SENATE STIMULUS
PACKAGE TOMORROW, MAYBE TOMORROW
MORNING.
MORNING. SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI SAYS
EARLIER THEY WILL HAVE A VOICE
VOTE ON THE FLOOR THAT WOULD
PASS THE BILL.
SO IS THE HOUSE GOING TO SYNC UP
WITH THE SENATE?
I WANT TO BRING IN REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSMAN MARK GREEN FROM
TENNESSEE.
TENNESSEE. CONGRESSMAN, THANKS FOR BEING
HERE.
HERE. >> THANKS TORE HAVING ME HERE,
CHERYL.
CHERYL. I HOPE CHARLES IS OKAY.
CHERYL: HE IS FINE.
HE IS GREAT.
HE IS TRADING STOCKS.
LET’S TALK ABOUT TENNESSEE REAL
QUICK.
QUICK. HOW ARE THE FOLKS IN TENNESSEE
DOING?
DOING? >> EVERYBODY BACK HOME IS DOING
JUST FINE.
JUST FINE. WE HAVE A FEW CASES.
WE HAVE A FEW POSITIVES,
UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE HAD A
DEATH OR TWO.
FOR THE MOST PART EVERYBODY IS
FOLLOWING RULES AND DOING THEIR
SOCIAL DISTANCING.
SOCIAL DISTANCING. MOST FOLKS ARE READY TO GET BACK
TO WORK.
TO WORK. VERY EAGER TO GET BACK TO WORK.
WHEN THE PRESIDENT SUGGESTED
EASTER THERE WERE A LOT OF HAPPY
FOLKS.
FOLKS. TENNESSEE IS A PRETTY RESILIENT
STATE.
STATE. YOU TAKE AFTER THE TORNADOES,
1500 PEOPLE SHOWED UP TO HELP
WITH CLEANUP.
WITH CLEANUP. THEY DIDN’T HAVE ROOM FOR THEM.
THEY HAD TO SEND THEM HOME.
WHEN THIS HAPPENED,
DOLLAR GENERAL IMMEDIATELY
ANNOUNCED THEY WOULD DO
SENIOR-ONLY HOURS.
SENIOR-ONLY HOURS. FROM CERTAIN POINTS DURING THE
DAY, ONLY THOSE 60 AND OLDER CAN
COME TO THE STORE.
A LOT OF GREAT PEOPLE DOWN
THERE.
THERE. CHERYL: LET ME ASK YOU THIS THE
PRESIDENT JUST SENT A LETTER TO
ALL THE GOVERNORS.
A LOT OF TALK DEPEND WHERE WE
ARE WHETHER WE NEED TO BE ON
LOCKDOWN OR MAYBE DO THE HONOR
SYSTEM AND TRUSS THAT AMERICANS
IN SPECIFIC COUNTIES THAT ARE
NOT HIT HARD ABOUT IT VIRUS,
DON’T HAVE ANY CASES CAN GO
ABOUT BACK TO BUSINESS SOMEWHAT?
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT THOUGHT
PROCESS?
PROCESS? >> WE HAVE A BIG COUNTRY AND
OBVIOUSLY NEW YORK IS AT A
DIFFERENT PLACE IN THE CURVE
THAN WE ARE IN TENNESSEE.
WE HAVE TO DO CERTAIN ACTIONS
WHERE WE ARE IN THE CURVE AND
THEY HAVE TO DO CERTAIN ACTIONS
WHERE THEY ARE IN THE CURVE AND
I THINK THAT IS PRUDENT AND AS
WE GET MORE DATA ON THIS VIRUS
WE CAN GET GRANULAR THE WAY WE
TAKE THE VIRUS ON.
AS DATA AND CURVES COME IN WE
CAN MAKE BETTER DECISIONS.
CHERYL: TALK ABOUT TOMORROW FOR
YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES IN THE
HOUSE.
HOUSE. >> YES.
>> YES. CHERYL: NANCY PELOSI, LIKE IT
WILL BE A VOICE VOTE.
IS THAT WHAT YOU’RE STILL
HEARING TOMORROW MORNING?
>> THAT IS WHAT I’M HEARING.
YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO BE CAREFUL
TOO, WE WANT TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE
WITH THE WHOLE SOCIAL DISTANCING
THING.
THING. THE VOICE VOTE WOULD KEEP US
FROM PUTTING 435 PEOPLE IN ONE
ROOM.
ROOM. CHERYL: SENATE REPUBLICANS HAD A
LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT EXTENSION
OF UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS BUT NOT
SO MUCH EXTENSION BUT INCREASE,
$600 A WEEK FOR FOUR MONTHS.
THAT IS A BONE OF CONTENTION.
AT SOME POINT WE’LL HAVE TO TALK
ABOUT THE FEDERAL DEFICIT.
WE HAVE TO ALREADY TALK ABOUT IT
BUT WE HAVE TO GET THROUGH THIS.
IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE SENATE
BILL THAT REALLY BOTHERS YOU?
>> THERE IS A TON OF STUFF THAT
BOTHERS ME IN THE BILL BUT LIKE
ANY NEGOTIATION SOMETIMES THERE
IS A LITTLE BIT OF BAD WITH THE
GOOD IN ORDER TO GET WITH THE
GOOD.
GOOD. WE’RE GOING THROUGH IT.
MY TEAM IS GOING THROUGH IT.
THE EXAMPLES ARE, I’M SURE THE
KENNEDY CENTER IS A GREAT PLACE
TO GO, BUT $25 MILLION TO THE
KENNEDY CENTER DURING THE CRONE
VIRUS OUTBREAK WHILE AMERICAN
LIVES ARE LOST IS RIDICULOUS.
$75 MILLION TO NPR, PUBLIC
BROADCASTING, RIDICULOUS.
BROADCASTING, RIDICULOUS. 75 MILLION FOR THE ENDOWMENT TO
THE ARTS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
CHERYL: BUT IT IS IN THERE.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. CHERYL: THE KENNEDY CENTER THING
I AGREE WITH YOU.
THE PRESIDENT SAID I’VE NEVER
BEEN, I AM PRETTY BUSY, I LIKE
IT ENOUGH.
IT ENOUGH. EVEN HE IS TRYING TO BE
DIPLOMATIC ABOUT IT.
BUT WHAT FINANCIAL COST
EVENTUALLY, YOU KNOW?
>> IT KEEPS ADDING UP, NO DOUBT
ABOUT IT.
ABOUT IT. OUR DEBT IS ENORMOUS BUT THIS IS
ABSOLUTELY A CRISIS.
WE HAVE GROUND THE ECONOMY TO A
HALT.
HALT. WE HAVE A SEAR RUTS CASH FLOW
ISSUE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES.
THEY HAVE GOT TO GET THE HELP OR
IT WILL BE MUCH WORSE
DOWNSTREAM.
DOWNSTREAM. CHERYL: CONGRESSMAN GREEN,
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
WE’LL WATCH YOU TOMORROW ALONG
WITH ALL OF YOUR COLLEAGUES WITH
BATED BREATH AND OUR BEST TO THE
