hud has suspended foreclosures and evictions for two months, for single family homes, with loans through the federal housing administration, but that only applies to about 8 million units. so what is your message to everyone else who will likely be struggling to pay their rent and pay their mortgage in the coming weeks and months? >> part of what is being negotiated in congress right now are measures to be able to help take care of some of our most vulnerable citizens. a lot of people who live, for instance, in public housing or assisted housing, you know, they are not covered by our fha guarantees. and as a result of that, you know, we've been in contact with the phas, with the various landlords, to ask them to extend forbearance and to use a variety of different things, including some of their reserve funds to tide them over, recognizing that, you know, if they evict people, then you've got to start all over again, plus you're exacerbating the situation nationwide. i have not found many people who don't understand that. i don't think that's a particular issue, but we've also been in co

then you want to make sure that the treasury, the small business administration, hud, all these others have direct guaranties of loans for solvent companies that are having a liquidity problem. you know, this is a very specific, targeted and in times of crisis discount freely. make sure the solvent companies don't go under but don't use this as excuse for bailout, number one, give the day roll tax cut and everyone goes to work as fast as they can. that will bring the economy right back. elizabeth: targeted stimulus. hundreds of billions of dollars of drugs, for vaccines, drug supplies, new monies for hospitals and medical facilities. $110 billion for that. number of money to increase hospital beds and respirators. we saw republican senators susan collins of maine lit up in anger. susan collins, for second time in 24 hours this rescue plan has been stalled by senate democrats in favor of nancy pelosi's plan. >> i cannot believe the answer to this crisis as we move to address the economic consequences that are so severe for the people of this country, that the answer from our friend on t

if you live in federal housing, hud has put a freeze on evictions right now. as far as banks or private companies, the president said the other day, i think landlords are going to be taking it easy. he's saying they're going to take it easy but there's no federal regulation put in place. we recommend that every person go to their own state's website, type in your state and you can see what your unemployment benefits are or you can go to benefi benefits.gov and it lays out benefits afforded to people in different categories, but it depends on your city and state. you cannot assume we're all in this crisis and i'm covered. >> this is a big story, workers at instagram, whole foods, where do these pushes stand right now? >> well, we're seeing it happen. it was widely reported yesterday that amazon fired a guy named christopher smalls from their staten island warehouse. he was the person who is organizing strikes. the organizers have said there have been 50 amazon strikes across the country. the company said it's been more like 15. while he was fired, the company s

i was in the federal government at hud. i worked on dozens of disasters. you deal with a disaster in front of you at that time, and then you move on to the next disaster. and i think that rolling deployment could work here. and on behalf of new york, i said we will be 100% helpful. we need help from the entire country right now. we need resources from the entire country right now. and because our apex is first, and our numbers are highest, but the apex high point will be sequential across the country. so i said to the white house, send us the equipment that we need. send us the personnel. as soon as we get past our critical moment, we will redeploy that equipment and personnel to the next hot spot. and i will personally guarantee it and personally manage it. so if you send us 15,000 ventilators, and then after our curve, los angeles needs 15,000 ventilators, we can take the equipment from here, we can take the personnel from here, we can take the lessons from here. you know, we go first. we're going to learn things that nobody else has learned, because we'

about paying rent, no mortgages through -- i know that org just through --i know that mortgages through hud will be taken care of. pres. trump: i think landlords will take it easy, people that are owed money will take it easy. a lot of concessions are being made that would not have been thought of three weeks ago. a lot a very positive things are happening. reporter: yesterday, why did you publicly threaten quarantine on new york, new jersey, -- pres. trump: i did not do that at all. read the statement. i said, we are going to look into possible quarantine. as a possibility because a lot of our professionals wanted quarantine. who are you with? bloomberg, right? i can't imagine that. professionals, very good professionals love the idea of doing that. that is sort of the ultimate in distancing. they did not want new yorkers where they were having a problem necessarily going down to florida where they had less of a problem. the concept of quarantine was thrown out to me. they would love to do it. i thought it was too much. so, it is very hard to enforce. reporter: by speaking about it publicl

i used to be in the federal government as you know, i was hud secretary and i've done floods, hurricanes, all sorts of disasters. yeah, maybe send out too much equipment. so what? the real crime and the heart burn is if you have too little. so and i'm not even taking an aggressive model. i have a reasonable numeric model based on our numbers and again, you have a whole world of data going back to china and we're just asking for what we need for our reasonable model. i'm not -- because many of these i'm paying with state money and these ventilators, they're about $25,000 each, chris. so i'm not eager to buy more ventilators than i have to. >> right. >> you had been a critic of the relief bill that has now been passed and signed because of precisely the issue you're articulating here whether there was sufficient money for the state. obviously, all these states are scrambling and paying out-of-pocket for these things as they should, these emergency funding. less money will be coming in in taxes. every state will be wall up to the deficit. do you think what came out of washington today is su

but i passed bills when i was hud secretary. i know how hard it is. but i also know how high the stakes are here. you look at the loss in the revenue, what you guys have been talking about to me. how do you do a state budget with that dramatic loss in revenue? and rob ma heijeeka is saying t the federal government is going to offer a stimulus package that offers additional funding to state governments. okay, here's the package. it gives us $3.8 billion. the hole is as big as, as high as $15 billion. how do you plug a $15 billion hole with $3.8 billion? you don't. >> thank you, governor. how do you respond to the mentality out there, the philosophy that the cure is worse than the disease and the suggestion by the president that he might want to open up the country by easter? >> look, i believe -- it's part language, right? nobody will say it is sustainable to keep the economy closed. it is not sustainable. we all get that. china got it. south korea got it. et cetera. that's point one. point two, everyone agrees, i believe, in this state, we do everythi

but i passed bills when i was hud secretary. i know how hard it is. but i also know how high the stakes are here. you look at the loss in the revenue, what you guys have been talking about to me, how do you do a state budget with that dramatic loss in revenue? and rob mujica has been saying the federal government is going to pass a stimulus package that delivers additional funding to state governments. okay. here's the package. it gives us $3.8 billion. the hole is as high as $15 billion. how do you plug a $15 billion hole with $3.8 billion? you don't. >> governor, how do you respond to the mentality out there that say the cure is worse than the disease, and the suggestion by the president that he might want to open up the country by easter? >> look, i believe -- i think it's part language, right? nobody will say it is sustainable to keep the economy closed. it is not sustainable. we all get that. china got it, south korea got it, et cetera. that's point one. point two, everyone agrees, i believe in this state, we do everything we can to save a life.

in fact, i have said repeatedly the t-hud bill -- mr. chairman, you said it a little while ago, frankly is the infrastructure bill until something else may hopefully come along. this is evident in the major investments we have made in recent years through this subcommittee. i, however, recognize that there is a major task ahead of us as we face the expiration of the faft act at the end of this fiscal year. madam secretary, you outlined a really bold proposal with a trillion dollar of new services over the next several years. i know you're working through the details of this legislative proposal and i look forward to hearing about those efforts today and in the months that come and working with you, again, on what is a very, very bold proposal. our infrastructure investments over the next decade will help determine america's role and role for the next century. but the task clearly will not be easy. i will again, as i always have, call on my colleagues and the administration to come together and do this jointly for the good of the american

we just got another slug of hud money for vouchers for low-income renters. renters are more complicated. we won't have as crisp an answer for you on that tomorrow. we will on the mortgage side. that's a big piece of this. renting,s, if they are are renting from somebody will have a mortgage. it is either direct mortgage relief. i own a house and have a more just -- mortgage, i need relief. more on that tomorrow. thank you. come on down to the front. >> thank you for the opportunity, governor. weekend,t to say last i have a son named charlie. i was going to remember your name. >> thank you. last week when i asked you about whether you think the board of education members terms should be extended in the cases were you delayed the election. i'm waiting to hear back. i want to hear about another question in the same vein. recommendations to delay the county committee elections by an entire year. was silly, given the changes you made to relax the petition requirements. now, democrats have taken advantage of this epidemic and are canceling the elections entirely.

i am a big believer, and hud did exactly this, disaster recovery with fema. the federal government does this very well. i was there for the clinton administration, and we did do this very well. that's where the resources are. that's where you have the military, the workforce, the supplies. you have the purchasing power. fema doing it, if the federal government really empowers them, that is a game changer. but then they have to do it, and we've seen it done well. and we've seen it done poorly. but i can't tell a company you must manufacture ventilators. if i could, i would have. >> but fema can, right? >> i can't do that as a governor. >> but the president's power -- with the power of the presidency can order a company to do this? >> yes. and they should. they should. yesterday. >> all right. well, i will leave you and leave the end of the interview with that. governor cuomo, thanks for your blunt talk with us. you're right. that's all people want right now. straightforward truth no matter how bad it is. thank you, sir. good luck. >>> let's go across state lin
