1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: On this episode of News World. That should not stop 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: you from going about your life, should not stop you 3 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: from going to Chinatown and going out to eat. Come 4 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: to Chinatown. Here we are. We're again careful sake, Come 5 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: join us. Roosevelt came up with a thing that you know, 6 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: was totally different than than the called He called the 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 1: you know, the World War tire. He had the World 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 1: the War Production War will be invoke in the Defense 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 1: Production Act and just in case we need it, and 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: it can do a lot of good things if we 11 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: need it, so we will be invoke in the Defense 12 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: Production Act. The President said it was a hoax. They 13 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: minimize the seriousness of it. We put on a band 14 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: of China which China can't come in, and before March 15 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: we put on a ban in Europe where Europe can't 16 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: come in. So how could you say I wasn't taking 17 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: it seriously? Oh, this is new Dulu virus. I'm recording 18 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: from home, so you may notice a difference in audio quality. 19 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to explore is the correct assertion that because 20 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump's failure, two hundred thousand Americans have died 21 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: of COVID? Or is the correct assertion that because Donald 22 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: Trump moved early and aggressively. Over two million Americans are 23 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: alive today who would have died if he had followed 24 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: the advice of Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and others. 25 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: This is one of the most important questions the American 26 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: people need to explore and rich a decision about in 27 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: the next few weeks. The fact is that at a 28 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: very early date, the President was advised by key public 29 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: health figures that we had to move decisively or over 30 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: two point two million Americans would die. President moved very decisively. 31 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: When he moved decisively, people on the left, Biden, Pelosi, 32 00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: Paris and others all attacked him. Some ridiculed him because 33 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: they said he was doing too much, too fast. It 34 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: wasn't under the threat. And when you look back, you 35 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: realize that had we followed the Biden, Harris Pelosi model, 36 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: we probably would have lost five or six or seven 37 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: times as many Americans. So let's put this in context. 38 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: Let's look at the facts, and I think you'll see 39 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: how big the difference was between what President Trump did 40 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: and what his opponents would have done. And remember that 41 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: this all starts in China. This is a Chinese virus. 42 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: Despite all the politically correct efforts to get away from him, 43 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: just as by the way, a decade earlier, H one 44 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: N one was a virus which Joe Biden mishandled terribly 45 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: when he was vice president. If you compare Vice President 46 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: Biden's epidemic experience with Vice President pences epidemic express, you'll 47 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: see the difference. Biden was incompetent, and in fact, his 48 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: own top aid has said publicly in forums that they 49 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: just blew it. So in this case, back in December, 50 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: the Chinese doctor began warning people that something was going 51 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: on in Wuhan, that there was a stars leight disease 52 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: going around, and he was suppressed by the Chinese government. 53 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: It was back in late December when Lee first warned 54 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: friends on wee chat about a stars like disease going around. 55 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: Lee sent a group message saying that a test result 56 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: from a patient quarantined at the hospital where he worked 57 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: showed a patient had a coronavirus. But hours after hitting send, 58 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: Wuhan city health officials track Lee down, questioning where he 59 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: got the information. Within days, they closed the suspected source 60 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: of the virus, this seafood market, and they announced the outbreak. 61 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: But instead of being praised. Lee got a call from 62 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: Wuhan City police because they didn't want no one to 63 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: think about it, to talk about it. The Wuhan City 64 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: least were sent to visit it. Another Chinese whistle blower, 65 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: a virologists, said there were over forty cases before the 66 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: end of December and that that information would have potentially 67 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: stopped coronavirus from spreading to other countries, but in fact 68 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: the Chinese government kept hiding it. Our government already know 69 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: that before the end of December, there are over forty 70 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: people get in fact it, but not as they mentioned 71 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: like twenty seven. And also most importantly, they are a 72 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: human to human transmission. By January third, the Center for 73 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: Disease Control Director Robert Redfield was worn by his Chinese 74 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: counterpart of the possibility of a Chinese virus, so he 75 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: notified Secretary of Healthy Human Services alexays Are, who immediately 76 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: started to create a team in the White House. Notice 77 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: immediately started to create a team. At that point in 78 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: mid January that we had talking about would we need 79 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: a travel then and travel then was very controversial, both 80 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: from the standpoint that some epidemiologists don't think it worked 81 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: and from the standpoint that some people thought it was 82 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: going much too fast. On January twenty seven, let's get 83 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: this clear for all of the things that Joe Biden 84 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: says that are just plain not true. On January twenty seven, 85 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: Biden writes an op ed for USA Today and says 86 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: the following quote. I remember how Trump sought to stoke 87 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: fear and stigma during the twenty fourteen of Bold epidemic. 88 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: He called President Barack Obama a dope and incompetent, and 89 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: railed against the evidence based response our administration put in place, 90 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: which quelled the crisis and saved hundreds of thousands of lives, 91 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: in favor of reactionary travel bands. They would only have 92 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: made things worse. I'm gonna repeat this one line from 93 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: January twenty seventh in USA Today by Joe Biden, who 94 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: said reactionary travel bands would only have made things worse. 95 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: The next day, Ron Klain, who was Biden's chief person 96 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: dealing with these kinds of diseases, said the ban is 97 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: quote premature. Would you ban Chinese travelers from arriving in 98 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: the United States? I wouldn't. I think that's premature. On 99 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: January thirtieth, doctor Ezekiel Emmanuel on CNBC and the Mangue 100 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: is one of the key advisers to the Democratic Party 101 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: on healthcare, tells Americans they should quote take a breath 102 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: and stop panicking. Everyone in America should take a very 103 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: big breath, slow down, and stop panicking and being hysterical. 104 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,239 Speaker 1: On January thirty, first, the campaign event in Iowa, Biden 105 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: calls Trump's China travel band xenophobic. So listen to Biden 106 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: in his own words, coronavirus aminated from China, a national 107 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: emergency worldwide alerts. The American people need to have a 108 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: president who they can trust what he says about it, 109 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: that he is going to act rationally about it, and 110 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: moments like this this is where the credibility or president 111 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: is most needed as he explains what we should and 112 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: should not do. This is no time for Donald Trump's 113 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: record of xenophobia, hysterical xenophobia. And the following day he 114 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: doubles down when he tweets out quote, We're in the 115 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. We need to 116 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: lead the way with science, not Donald Trump's record of hysteria, xenophobia, 117 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: and fearmongering. He is the worst possible person to lead 118 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: our country through a global health emergency. Now, notice this 119 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: band is one of the big arguments, because while it's 120 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: clear in this paragraph Biden is talking about coronavirus, he 121 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: claims that when he said xenophobia, he wasn't really referring 122 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: to the ban on travel from China. The following day, 123 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: February second, President Trump puts together a ban on travel 124 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: from China, and it takes a while for it to 125 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: totally work because there are a substantial number of American 126 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: citizens who have the legal right to come home even 127 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: after the band. But clearly as of February second, Trump 128 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: was already moving. On February third, the World Health Organizations 129 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: Director General opposed the ban. Remember that the World Health 130 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: Organizations very close to the Chinese Communist Party, and the 131 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: head of it said, there is no reason for majors 132 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade. We call 133 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: on all countries to implement decisions that are evidenced, based 134 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: and consistent. So notice the World Health Organization is telling 135 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: everybody not to worry at a point when we now 136 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: know in retrospect there's a worldwide pandemic beginning to build. 137 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: By February twenty fourth, Speaker Nancy Pelosi encourages people to 138 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: visit Chinatown. Don't just take my word for it, Speaker Pelosi, 139 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: come to Chinatown. Here we are. We're again careful, safe, 140 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,599 Speaker 1: and come join us. But February twenty ninth, Trump addresses 141 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 1: the nation after the first COVID death. At this moment, 142 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: we have twenty two patients in the United States currently 143 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: that have coronavirus. Unfortunately, one person passed away overnight. Now 144 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: people are coming to groups with us and not quite 145 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: sure exactly what to do. And on March eighth, doctor 146 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: Fouchi says people do not need to be wearing masks 147 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: walking around. Here is doctor Fauci himself right now. People 148 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: should not be worried. There's no reason to be walking 149 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: around with a mask when you're in the middle of 150 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: an outbreak. Wearing a mask might make people feel a 151 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: little bit better, and it might even block a droplet, 152 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think 153 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: that it is. So people are really rustling with us, 154 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: and the President is trying to follow the best possible 155 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: medical and epidemiological advice. But even that advice is starting 156 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: to change. As you can see what doctor Feltschi. By 157 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: March twelfth, Joe Biden releases his COVID nineteen plan, which 158 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: actually looks pretty plagiarized from the Trump campaign. One decisive 159 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: public health response to curb the spread of disease and 160 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,479 Speaker 1: to provide treatment those who need it, and a decisive 161 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: economic response that delivers real relief to American workers, families, 162 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: and small businesses and protects the economy as a whole. 163 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: Are offered as a roadmapter, not for what I will 164 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: do as president ten months from now, but for the 165 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: leadership that I believe is needed required at this very moment. 166 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: And it turns out that much of what he's describing 167 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: is in fact precisely what the President is doing. By 168 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: March thirteenth, the New York Times will release a CDC 169 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: prediction that two hundred thousand to one point seven million 170 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: people could die is actually a lower number than an 171 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: Oxford University prediction that it could be two point two million. 172 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: So the President is trying to react to a risk 173 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: that we could be facing the death of somewhere between 174 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: two hundred thousand and one point seven million people. And 175 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: I would argue that you can make a very good 176 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: case that there are at least a million and a 177 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 1: half Americans alive today despite the Center for Disease Control prediction, 178 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: because President Trump moved quickly and frankly. Had Governor Cuomo 179 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: and Governor Murphy not done amazingly destructive things killing thousands 180 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: and thousands of senior citizens, the death ray would be 181 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: substantially lower because those two states in New Jersey and 182 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 1: per capita deaths in New York and total desks clearly 183 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: are our liars, given by very bad policy by two 184 00:11:50,920 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: liberal Democratic governors.

Mark thirteen. Trump declares 203 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen emergency to unleash the full power of 204 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: the federal government that this effort. Today, I am officially 205 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: declaring a national emergency. On seventeen. Governor Cuomo's positive about 206 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: President frump. I spoke to the President this morning. Again 207 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: he is ready, willing and able to help. At that point, 208 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: remember Cuomo's being independent because the Hospital Association in New 209 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: York does not want people with COVID in the hospitals. 210 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: He's going to send them to nursing homes, the worst 211 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: possible thing, but it frankly made the lobbyists for the 212 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: hospital association happy. And at that time it looked like 213 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,599 Speaker 1: they might not have enough equipment to be able to 214 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: take care of them. They might not have enough ventilators, 215 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: they might not have enough hospital beds now. At that point, 216 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: the Chinese, by March twenty second, begin spreading total disinformation 217 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: just part of what's infuriating. First that the disease originated 218 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: in Wullan, China, Second that the Chinese blocked experts from 219 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: coming to see and learn about the disease in an 220 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: earlier time with the way, and third they then have 221 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: to be unattacking and claiming it didn't start there. On 222 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: March twenty second, the Chinese TV reported, and it's holly 223 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: in medical experts, as the coronavirus may have circulated in 224 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: Italy before the outbreaking China. It's just playing a lot, 225 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: and it's tipular what we're dealing with with the Chinese. 226 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: All the way through March twenty five, the Governor Cuomo 227 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: send six thousand, three hundred recovering COVID patients to nursing homes, 228 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: and there they will affect others. And the estimate is 229 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: the Governor Cuomo, by taking care of the hospital association, 230 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: probably killed six to twelve thousand senior citizens who otherwise 231 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: might have been alive by March thirty. If doctor Burkes says, 232 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: doing everything perfect could still lead to two hundred thousand us. 233 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: If we do things together well almost perfectly, we could 234 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: get in the range of one hundred thousand to two 235 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: hundred thousand fatalities. Now, the reason I think that's important 236 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: is when you have the scale of a pandemic, we're 237 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: going to suffer losses. And the question is did President 238 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: Trump's actions contribute to those losses or did President Trump's 239 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: actions actually contain the losses. I would argue that in fact, 240 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: President Trump probably saved between a million, five hundred thousand 241 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: and two million Americans. Doctor Brooks goes on to point 242 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: out that the virus is going to go everywhere and 243 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: not just come in New York, national media, Jersey, and 244 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: again here's doctor Burke's in their own words, no state, 245 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: no metro area will be spared. About that point, Biden's 246 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: deputy campaign manager backtracks Biden's statements from and claiming, quote, 247 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: Joe Biden supports travel bands that are guided by medical experts, 248 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: advocated by public health officials, and backed by a full strategy. 249 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: Science supported this band. Therefore he did too. Remember this 250 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: isn't exactly the same guy who was ridiculing the band earlier, 251 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: calling it xenophobic. By May fifteenth, President Trump is implementing 252 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: Operation Warp Speed. He has already reached out to the 253 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: private sector. We're beginning to ramp up production of every 254 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: single thing you need to cope with the disease. We're 255 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: beginning to be the arsenal of creating health products and 256 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: beginning to really develop an amazing range of American responses. 257 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: Whereas we thought at one point people would run very 258 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: short of certain kinds of medical within a few months, 259 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: we produced so much we'll being to send it all 260 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: around the planet. Part of that is because the President 261 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: not only have developed Operation Warp Speed, which was aimed 262 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 1: at finding a vaccine, but in addition he also invoked 263 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: the Defense Production Act. And I think it's worth just 264 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: listening to the President as he implements Operation Warp Speed. 265 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: We have the mightiest military in the long history of humankind. 266 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: We have the best and most devoted workers ever to 267 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: walk the face of the earth. And now we're combining 268 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: all of these amazing strengths for the most aggressive vaccine 269 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: project in history. And then notice that in the same 270 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: frame of reference, he's moving down the road towards the 271 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: Defense Production Act to allow us to really contract and develop. 272 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: Moving back from China, the production of things. We concluded 273 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: we couldn't rely on SANA for with his due agreement, 274 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: my administration is using the Defense Production Act to provide 275 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: a seven hundred and six million dollar loan to support 276 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: the launch of Kodak Pharmaceuticals. By July twenty eight, doctor 277 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: Fauchi has decided that masks aren't necessary. I'm referring to 278 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: them now as the fundamentals. And the fundamentals are not 279 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: rocket science. It's universal wearing of masks, avoiding crowds, close 280 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: the bars, and the point of that says, it's not 281 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: that Fauci was necessarily wrong. Things were changing, people were learning, 282 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: and I think it's very important to recognize that when 283 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: you say it talked the president about science, he's listening 284 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: to these scientists and these medical doctors all the way through. 285 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: Their advice is also changing as they learn more. By 286 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: July thirtieth, doctor Fauchi says clearly that the president's decision 287 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: actually saved lives. But here listen to him describe on 288 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: his own what he thought. Do you agree with that decision? 289 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: I do. Do you think that decision saved lives? Doctor Fauchi, yes, 290 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: I do. To you agree with the decision when ultimately 291 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: we saw spreading Europe and then the President recommended that 292 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: we extend that to Europe. Did you participate in that discussion? 293 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: I was actively involved in that discussion, sir. Do you 294 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: agree with that decision? Yes? I do. Do you think 295 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: that decision saved lives? Yes? I do. Eventually, then we 296 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: saw the United Kingdom have an outbreak and there had 297 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: to be a tough decision made. Do we extend that 298 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: to the United Kingdom? Were you part of that decision? 299 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: I was? And do you agree with that decision as well? 300 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: I do. Did that decision save lives? Yes? It did. So. 301 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: Biden had opposed Pelosi had opposed Harris had opposed the 302 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: president's travel. Bad when to put it down? But as 303 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: the situation no worse, all of a sudden, the Democrats 304 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: decide they have to rewrite history. So here is the 305 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: national Press secretary for the Biden campaign giving you the 306 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: new version of reality, which was that Biden never said 307 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: the things Biden said. Let me just clarify. You're saying 308 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden was for closing down travel from China 309 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: when the President did it. Joe Biden has been clear, 310 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: and I can sendue the fact checks that they're helpful, Brett. 311 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has been clear that he was not against 312 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: that travel band, but he was for Joe Biden has 313 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: been clear about this, Brett, again, I can. I can 314 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,239 Speaker 1: send you the fact checks if they're helpful. This has 315 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: been fact checked into oblivion. It's important to remember at 316 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 1: this point, as Biden is beginning to rewrite the historical record, 317 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: pretending that he had never said he was against the 318 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: travel band, he had never said it was xenophobic, etc. 319 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: That this is typical because when Biden himself was vice president, 320 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: when he had a job exactly parallel to Vice President 321 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: Pence's job, he was a disaster. And Ron Klain, who 322 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: worked with him and it's close to him and supports him, 323 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: said it was purely fortunity that H one n one, 324 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: who was not one of the great mass casualties of 325 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: our time. Sixty million Americans got h one n one 326 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: in that period of time. But listen to claim himself 327 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: both describing the scale of it and then describing how 328 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: everything they had done it not worked, and that Biden 329 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: was simply a failure at dealing with the sepidemic. I 330 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: just had a couple of things that. I mean, I 331 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: was in the White House in twenty nine ten. I 332 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: was working for Vice President Biden. I wasn't involved directly 333 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: in H one N one response, but I lived through 334 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: it as a White House staffer, And what I will 335 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: say about it is a bunch of really talented, really 336 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: great people working on it, and we did every possible 337 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: thing wrong. And it's you know, sixty million Americans got 338 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: H one N one in that period of time, and 339 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: it's just purely a fortunity that this isn't one of 340 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: the great mass casualty events in American history. Had nothing 341 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: to do with I was doing anything right. I just 342 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: had to do with law. And so if anyone thinks 343 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: that this can't happen again, don't to go back to 344 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: nineteen eighteen. They just have to go back to two thousand, 345 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: nine ten. Imagine a virus with a different lethality, and 346 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: you can just do the math on that. So the 347 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: question is very simple. When you look back over this year, 348 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 1: there's very challenging, very difficult year, and you realize that 349 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: the president was being advised that there would be potentially 350 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: a million and a half dead according to the Center 351 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: for his Ease Control, Potentially over two point two million 352 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: dead based on a study in Great Britain, and he 353 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: reacted decisively and aggressively. He reacted to help New York City, 354 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: both by sending a Navy hospital ship with nine hundred beds, 355 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: by having the Army set up four field hospitals, and 356 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: by having the Corps of Engineers build out the Convention 357 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: Center to handle another twelve hundred beds. And by the way, 358 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: we created so many beds in New York City, but 359 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: almost none of them were used. But the President was 360 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: responding to the danger of a massive catastrophe, the opposite 361 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: of what Obama and Biden had done. So you end up, 362 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: I think, with a history that's very clear. President Trump 363 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: reacted early, reacted based on scientific and medical advice, took 364 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: very decisive steps, including closing down what had become the 365 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: best economy in American history, felt that that was necessary 366 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: to save lives, and did everything he could to accelerate production, 367 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: both of the therapeutic equipment we use today and of 368 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: the various vaccines that we hope will decisively defeat COVID. 369 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: I think the President's view is that we have to 370 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: fight the virus, not be afraid of the virus. Where 371 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: Biden wanted to hide in the basement and do nothing. 372 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: The President felt, as Americans, we had to stand up 373 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: and enter the battlefield of defeating the virus in every 374 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: possible way, from social isolation to getting the right kind 375 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: of therapies. And the therapies have improved dramatically over the 376 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: last few months, so that the virus is going to 377 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: be less and less of immortal threat and more and 378 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: more of a manageable problem. And that's setting the combination 379 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: of hypocrisy and hysteria, both in the news media and 380 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: in the Biden Harris campaign. I think who's just astounding? 381 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: And I think the question off from the American people 382 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: should be, do you want the guy who probably saved 383 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: a million and a half to two million lives that's 384 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: Downald Trump? Or do you want the guy who failed 385 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: at the beginning of this crisis, who took the wrong positions, 386 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: would have allowed travel from China to continue, would have 387 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: allowed many more Americans to die. And I think that's 388 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: a huge, real challenge. So I hope by allowing you 389 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 1: to hear people in their own voices, I hope you 390 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: can see how dishonest the attack on the President is 391 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 1: This president didn't have two hundred thousand Americans died because 392 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: he failed. Two hundred thousand Americans tragically died despite the 393 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: most aggressive action we've seen, action that was vastly stronger 394 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: than anything that Biden did when he was the vice president.
