Speaker 1: You know, it's no secret that you've had a combative
Speaker 1: relationship with Trump in the past, but lately you've been
Speaker 1: praising him for the help he's giving. Well, of course
Speaker 1: you have to, because look at how he treats governors
Speaker 1: who don't you know, kiss his ring, the governor of Washington,
Speaker 1: the governor of Michigan. He said they were not appreciative
Speaker 1: and told Mike Pence don't call them back. You know,
Speaker 1: do you feel like you have to feed this guy's
Speaker 1: ego to get the respirators and to get the ppees.
Speaker 1: Is that what's going on? Well, let me just acknowledge
Speaker 1: the frame of your question. We're involved in over sixty
Speaker 1: eight lawsuits with the Trump administration, and so there's no
Speaker 1: question we have had our differences of opinion on many issues.
Speaker 1: But I just want to remind you and maybe others
Speaker 1: that are not aware of this. We've been at this
Speaker 1: since late January. California got a head start in many
Speaker 1: respects where no one was really paying much attention. We
Speaker 1: started working with the administration directly to get these repatriated
Speaker 1: flights from mainland China into the state of California. Many
Speaker 1: states turned their back on those flights and those repatriation missions,
Speaker 1: California embraced them. We also had that Grand Princess, that
Speaker 1: large cruise ship, where we worked very collaborative with the
Speaker 1: federal government, developed strong relationships of trust around the emergency
Speaker 1: planning and how we can bring those passengers back into
Speaker 1: our diverse communities and all across the rest of the country.
Speaker 1: As a consequence of that, our relationship began earlier than most.
Speaker 1: And so from that perspective, all I can say is,
Speaker 1: from my perspective, the relationship has been strong. And I'm
Speaker 1: not doing it to kiss the ring. I'm not doing
Speaker 1: it in a way, you know that, and just being
Speaker 1: forthright with the President. He returns calls, he reaches out,
Speaker 1: he's been proactive. We got that Mercy Ship down here
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. That was directly because he sent it
Speaker 1: down here. Two thousand medical units came to the state
Speaker 1: of California, these fms, these field medical states, and that's
Speaker 1: been very, very helpful, and to the extent we're going
Speaker 1: to need more, we will and I'll let you know
Speaker 1: in a few weeks if that relationship continued gladuate with
Speaker 1: US eight hundred and ninety four one Sean, if you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of this extravaganza. You know,
Speaker 1: there's an adult and there's somebody that has put aside politics.
Speaker 1: Sixty eight lawsuits they have going on against the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: But now we're working really well together and everything we've needed,
Speaker 1: they've given us very different than the ventilator rejector, the
Speaker 1: ill prepared Governor of New York Cuomo. And I mean
Speaker 1: if the's anybody worse than him, if it's possible, that
Speaker 1: would be of course, Gavin Newsom. You know, you go
Speaker 1: to page thirty. I have the guides. It is unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Ventilator Allocation Guidelines. November twenty fifteen, New York Task Force
Speaker 1: on Life and Law, New York Department of Health got
Speaker 1: the whole document right in front of me, and guess
Speaker 1: what happened. Yeah, they said, no, you're shy sixteen thousand
Speaker 1: mendel lators. What is Cuomo's answer, Well, we're shy sixteen Well,
Speaker 1: just why don't we just go back and figure out
Speaker 1: how we can rash in the two thousand that we have.
Speaker 1: You know, then you've got the Navy hospital ship, the
Speaker 1: Comfort Now in New York Harbor, you've got the Javits Center.
Speaker 1: You know how many You know how big three thousand
Speaker 1: beds is at the Javits Center. Yeah, the Army Corps
Speaker 1: of Engineers built that for Andrew. He just goes for
Speaker 1: those photo ops, just like he went to the USNS
Speaker 1: Comfort photo op. Then the hospitals in Nassau County, Suffolk County,
Speaker 1: Westchester County, and we do have forty nine other states
Speaker 1: and one hundred hospitals now being built around the country.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's the finger pointing and the insanity.
Speaker 1: How a state like New York that is ground zero
Speaker 1: potential for any pandemic. It makes sense, doesn't it. Okay,
Speaker 1: you have something highly contagious, infectious, and we have pandemics
Speaker 1: from time to time, and you have the highest concentration
Speaker 1: of people ten million, eleven million at times in the
Speaker 1: smallest geographical area. They didn't even have gowns and gloves
Speaker 1: and masks or anything. Never mind the ventilators that he
Speaker 1: rejected buying, even though his Health Task Force Task Force
Speaker 1: on Life and Law from the Department of Health said
Speaker 1: you need them if there's a pandemic. They actually said that.
Speaker 1: It's sad, it's pathetic, And I'm not a big fan
Speaker 1: of Gavin Newsom's politics, but I got to give him
Speaker 1: credit here. You know, I've been trying to stand back
Speaker 1: and we have our facts without fear segment coming up.
Speaker 1: Another couple of announcements here. One is doctor Oz is
Speaker 1: going to be taking your calls in our second hour
Speaker 1: of this program, and that's one hour from now, after
Speaker 1: the news at four o'clock. He will take your questions,
Speaker 1: your calls, will update you. There's a lot of news
Speaker 1: on hydroxy chloroquin I mean a lot. And you know,
Speaker 1: then you have the medium mob and we have the
Speaker 1: worst of the worst, and it's the same predictable people,
Speaker 1: the mob in the media and the Democratic Party that
Speaker 1: in the middle of a national emergency they want an investigations.
Speaker 1: It's breathtaking. The same Democrats that held up aid for hospitals,
Speaker 1: for working Americans, for small businesses and big businesses because
Speaker 1: they were fighting to change election laws and fighting for
Speaker 1: new immigration laws that favored them, and fighting to fund
Speaker 1: the Kennedy Center and the National Endowment for the Humanities
Speaker 1: and the National Endowment for the Arts seventy five million
Speaker 1: each twenty five million for the Kennedy Center that ended
Speaker 1: up firing all their employees anyway, and it is breathtaking,
Speaker 1: spectacular fail before your eyes and the worst of the
Speaker 1: worst when the country needed people the most. And then
Speaker 1: the mob in the media they don't even want to
Speaker 1: carry the president's press conferences and they're flimsy excuse says,
Speaker 1: we're not getting the truth. Yeah, Americans are getting the truth,
Speaker 1: and they're getting daily updates that they vital information that
Speaker 1: they and their families need in the middle of a
Speaker 1: national emergency. So it's all the predictable people. Government of
Speaker 1: India has endorsed hydroxy chloroquine as a preventative prophylactic. Now,
Speaker 1: the person that has been telling you this more than
Speaker 1: anyone has been doctor Oz. And he's pointing out anecdotally,
Speaker 1: we'd all love big clinical studies. Sure, problem is they
Speaker 1: take years. It'll take at least a year. We don't
Speaker 1: have time when lives are on the line, and those
Speaker 1: that are stuck in this old, myopic way of thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, the times call for new rules, and it's
Speaker 1: like we're watching the new rules unfold in front of
Speaker 1: us on a whole variety of issues. I mean, the
Speaker 1: Michigan governor is out there, you know, first, you know,
Speaker 1: saying no, we can't have hydroxy or quin, and you know,
Speaker 1: then has to backtrack saying it shows great potential. A
Speaker 1: little late. Finally, the New York Times they remember they
Speaker 1: were pounding me for bringing up hydroxy chloroquin and saying, well,
Speaker 1: let me tell you what I'm seeing, let me tell
Speaker 1: you what I learned, let me tell you what I studied,
Speaker 1: and I got the crap beat out of me. Well,
Speaker 1: now the New York Times is saying, yeah, there might
Speaker 1: be something to do this, and they were all beating
Speaker 1: up the president for it. You know, I think doctor
Speaker 1: Fauci is part of that older model. I mean, he
Speaker 1: wants numbers, he wants studies. They have six thousand doctors
Speaker 1: pulled saying this is the best treatment. We see everything
Speaker 1: I've read, the risks seem minimal to me. Ask your doctor,
Speaker 1: and those that are taking it. We are now anecdotally
Speaker 1: seeing example after example that it's working. The death predictions
Speaker 1: are being pulled back, so we'll get to that too.
Speaker 1: We're watching new hotspots emerge, like a Michigan, Connecticut flar
Speaker 1: to Indiana, Louisiana. We'll have a lot on the medical
Speaker 1: side of our facts without fear coming up with doctor
Speaker 1: Oz but it's going to be taking your calls. We're
Speaker 1: also going to look at you know, we can't have
Speaker 1: the cure be worse than the disease, meaning okay, we've
Speaker 1: got to be very very careful how we spend the money.
Speaker 1: But I've been trying to stand back and say everything
Speaker 1: we're witnessing now the old book has been torn up
Speaker 1: as it relates to pandemics. A new paradigm has been
Speaker 1: created before our very eyes. These are transformational times never before.
Speaker 1: As a president ten days after the first known case
Speaker 1: in the US, implemented a travel ben and then quarantine
Speaker 1: and was called racist, xenophobic, and fear mongerer and hysterical.
Speaker 1: Nobody in the Democratic Party supported it. Then we have
Speaker 1: this public private partnership and then all of these of
Speaker 1: great American companies all hands on deck. And you know,
Speaker 1: the Defense Procurement Act not even really needed except for
Speaker 1: a few instances, one being with three M we'll talk
Speaker 1: about and GM moving faster as it relates to ventilators.
Speaker 1: But it's we're getting it done. It's happening. And you
Speaker 1: see the best in people. You see the best in
Speaker 1: American you know, all big box stores, all drug stores,
Speaker 1: all pharmaceutical companies, novartists, one hundred and thirty million doses
Speaker 1: of hydroxy chloroquin, getting rid of draconian FDA regulations off
Speaker 1: use of hydroxy chloroquine and compassionate use and right to
Speaker 1: right to try. This is all transformative, PAP. You can
Speaker 1: at an interesting I mean a column we should pay
Speaker 1: attention to. When it's all over, will we be the
Speaker 1: same America? I mean, he really raises you know a
Speaker 1: lot of important questions here that we've got to pay
Speaker 1: attention to, not the least of which is when these
Speaker 1: numbers come in in terms of the economy, you know,
Speaker 1: how quickly can we get the economy up and running.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I keep using the analogy about
Speaker 1: the Michael Crichton book disclosure and then the movie with
Speaker 1: Demi Moore and Michael Douglas and the cryptic emails Michael
Speaker 1: Douglas was getting solved the problem. If hydroxy chloroquin solves
Speaker 1: the problem of people dying, it's not an answer. We
Speaker 1: have already been able to undo the sequence of this
Speaker 1: virus in record time, so clinical trials phase one trials
Speaker 1: are now underway as relates to a vaccine. But if
Speaker 1: you can stop the death and treat it so people
Speaker 1: don't die, and mitigate the expansion of this. That gets
Speaker 1: us over the hump and right back into life is
Speaker 1: normal and gets every business up and running in Americans
Speaker 1: back to work. That is the ideal situation. And you know,
Speaker 1: in terms of transformational times, I mean, you know, it's
Speaker 1: now April the third. What were we doing a month ago?
Speaker 1: March third was Super Tuesday. We aren't all focused on
Speaker 1: Corona like we are today. That's just a fact. You
Speaker 1: know what a difference a month can make. Pat Buchanan wrote,
Speaker 1: you know, and then he talks about the Republican Party
Speaker 1: and the money, the two trillion dollars emergency bill and
Speaker 1: four trillion dollars that the FETE is loosening up for loans,
Speaker 1: and you know, and an enormous amount of money. That's
Speaker 1: why I'm saying, WHOA hit the pause button? People already?
Speaker 1: So well, maybe we need another two trillion for the
Speaker 1: infrastructure bill. Let's see how the first two trillion works
Speaker 1: slow down, hit the brakes. Let's take care of displaced
Speaker 1: American workers. Let's make sure the moneys are there for
Speaker 1: hospital frontline defenders that are risking their lives for everybody.
Speaker 1: Make sure we have the ventilators built and every bit
Speaker 1: of equipment we need. And then the real answer in
Speaker 1: antidote is getting America back to normal life as quickly
Speaker 1: and as safely as possible. And you know, I don't
Speaker 1: think people are gonna call travel band xenophobic in the
Speaker 1: few I don't hear Democrats saying it now. I think
Speaker 1: every Democrat needs to be asked in retrospective, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: do the right thing. I think every Democrat that held
Speaker 1: up money for hospitals and workers and small business and
Speaker 1: big business for a week, they need to answer for
Speaker 1: their conduct. Those in the middle of a national emergency.
Speaker 1: That are you know, out there saying we need to
Speaker 1: start an investigation now? I mean, are we going to
Speaker 1: hold them accountable for their conduct? The mob and the
Speaker 1: media that doesn't want a president of the United States
Speaker 1: to communicate with the American people in a national emergency.
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about malpractice, dereliction of duty, an
Speaker 1: utter epic fail. Well that's not even surprising. Sadly, after
Speaker 1: the three years we've seen of them. You know, now
Speaker 1: you watch Democrats wanting the president to take on powers
Speaker 1: that it's like, really, are you sure you want that.
Speaker 1: You know, it's First Amendment, free press champions. We have
Speaker 1: you know in the media. Well, they don't want to
Speaker 1: carry the pre he looks tough presidential was that the problem?
Speaker 1: Is it political? As always? Anyway? It's um you know,
Speaker 1: it's amazing moments here. And you know, one of the
Speaker 1: things Buchanan asked, the Americans gonna care in the future
Speaker 1: about the the the Iranian backed Shiites dominating Iraq or
Speaker 1: the Saudi backed Sunni Muslim community prevailing in Yemen. Are
Speaker 1: they gonna care about what happens in the You know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna rely on Chinese made goods and even pharmaceuticals
Speaker 1: in the future. Do you think it's a good idea
Speaker 1: to release all these criminals. I mean, we're not even
Speaker 1: thinking about some of these things, and they're just acting irrationally.
Speaker 1: We've got to really pay attention to what we're doing now.
Speaker 1: And as we roll along Sean Hannity's Show eight hundred
Speaker 1: and nine four one Sean the new White House guidelines.
Speaker 1: Anyone facts without fear, or anyone who comes in any
Speaker 1: close contact with the President will be required to have
Speaker 1: a coronavirus test. It will be done on the new
Speaker 1: Abbot rapid test machine. It will not include members of
Speaker 1: the press in the briefing room. Rightly, So, the governor
Speaker 1: of Michigan got hammered because of their ban on hydroxy chloroquin.
Speaker 1: Hydroxy chloroquin, which we've been talking about a lot, a lot.
Speaker 1: They have now reversed course. Now they're asking the FEDS
Speaker 1: for hydroxy chloroquin. Oh, and well recent information on it. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what little late Now here's okay. I'll give
Speaker 1: the governor some credit. You know, one place you can
Speaker 1: not go to a pharmacy if your doctor wants to
Speaker 1: prescribe you hydroxy chloroquin. New York the only state in
Speaker 1: the Union. The governor says, if you want it, you
Speaker 1: got to go to a hospital. Now, people symptoms that
Speaker 1: doctors want them to use this medicine, but they got
Speaker 1: to send them to the most dangerous place in America
Speaker 1: right now, which is a hospital. And then they're already inundated. Andrew,
Speaker 1: fix this all right, twenty five now till the top
Speaker 1: of the hour, eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean,
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program,
Speaker 1: I will tell you that when all is said and
Speaker 1: done here. There needs to be an accounting for the
Speaker 1: worst of the worst of the worst, and it is
Speaker 1: the two predictable groups of people. You've got the do
Speaker 1: nothing Democrats with Russia Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, impeach, impeach in
Speaker 1: the middle of a national emergency and pandemic. What are
Speaker 1: they doing. Oh, we've got to appoint Representative James Clyburn,
Speaker 1: who remember who actually bragged and touted coronavirus as a
Speaker 1: tremendous political opportunity to take the helm of this investigative
Speaker 1: committee in the middle of the pandemic that they'll be
Speaker 1: investigating it. It is an epic, spectacular fail. The same
Speaker 1: group of people that held up needed moneies the with
Speaker 1: the relief package. We're over a week why because they
Speaker 1: were fighting for drastic changes to election laws that they
Speaker 1: thought benefited them. Strangers could be bringing ballots to them,
Speaker 1: to the US mail, but they don't have to present
Speaker 1: any idea, just has to be sealed. We will trust them,
Speaker 1: and that anybody could drive up day of the election
Speaker 1: and just vote. You don't even have to prove citizenship. Nothing.
Speaker 1: And then they're fighting for the National Endowment for the
Speaker 1: Arts seventy they got seventy five million. National Endowment for
Speaker 1: the Humanities. They got seventy five million the Kennedy Center
Speaker 1: for the Arts. Yeah, so we're holding up. Moneis desperately
Speaker 1: needed for hospitals and workers that are displaced through no
Speaker 1: fault of their own, and small businesses and large businesses
Speaker 1: that have now they had a grind to a halt
Speaker 1: for these reasons. And this is what they're now doing.
Speaker 1: In the middle of a national emergency. Donald Trump has
Speaker 1: to take time out of his busy day to answer
Speaker 1: the idiot Chuck Schumer. Here is New York again. Put
Speaker 1: him on the list, the top of the New York
Speaker 1: the number one or two, depending on which you choose
Speaker 1: DC or New York. I'd say number one terror target
Speaker 1: in the entire United States. They had no preparation plans
Speaker 1: at all. It is unthinkable to me, It is unconscionable
Speaker 1: to me. They didn't even have the basics. They didn't
Speaker 1: have the masks, the gowns, the shields, the glove they
Speaker 1: didn't have any of it. Some hospitals individually prepared, others
Speaker 1: did not. But yet, all right, incomes Donald Trump, incomes
Speaker 1: the Navy hospital ship, thousand beds, the comfort New York Harbor.
Speaker 1: Up goes the Javit Center, three thousand bed hospital built
Speaker 1: by the Army Corps of Engineers. In less than a week.
Speaker 1: Up goes all the other equipment. Every other equipment is
Speaker 1: being sent from the federal government. Andrew Cuomo was advised
Speaker 1: in a pretty firm way, because I have the whole
Speaker 1: thing in front of me two hundred and some on
Speaker 1: pages Ventilator Allocation Guidelines New York State Task Force on
Speaker 1: Life and Law and Health from the Department of Health.
Speaker 1: You're going to be if there is any type of
Speaker 1: pandemic flu pandemics such as this one, you're going to
Speaker 1: be shy. Sixteen thousand ventilators just under sixteen thousand. What's
Speaker 1: Andrew quote, he goes back to the Testament, was well,
Speaker 1: we got two thousand, how can we rashing them? President
Speaker 1: sends up four thousand and four hundred. Where where does
Speaker 1: Andrew put them in a warehouse? Unbelievable, I need thirty thousand,
Speaker 1: he barks, orders, He goes and he takes photo ops
Speaker 1: and every everything Donald Trump builds for him, and then
Speaker 1: his critical President Trump and by the way, in great
Speaker 1: comparison to Gavin Newsom, Gavin Newsom has done a really
Speaker 1: good job for the people of California. Never thought those
Speaker 1: words would come flying out of my mouth. Now it
Speaker 1: did say something stupid. Well, this can transform everything in
Speaker 1: America forever. But it doesn't. It's not a political time.
Speaker 1: And the mayor of New York is just an idiot.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even know what else to say
Speaker 1: about this guy. He's working out in the gym, he's
Speaker 1: walking the streets. Tell him people, you know, when everybody
Speaker 1: knew better, You know, Donald, just keep going to the
Speaker 1: bars in the restaurants. Don't worry about it. Now he's screed.
Speaker 1: He had no preparation in place. Schumer had nothing prepared.
Speaker 1: President Yesterday has to go out of his way and say, well,
Speaker 1: let me answer you stupid questions, Chuck, because well, the
Speaker 1: Defense Production Act has already been used. And a senior
Speaker 1: military officer in charge of procurement and purchasing and distribution,
Speaker 1: his name is and he gives the guy's name, and
Speaker 1: then he explains everything that they've been giving to New
Speaker 1: York that they didn't have in place, that they should
Speaker 1: have had in place. You know, I mean, I'm watching
Speaker 1: the mayor of New Orleans. You know, blaming the federal
Speaker 1: government for their dumb decision to keep Marty Grow open. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: what if Donald Trump tried to shut it down. Let's
Speaker 1: look at it that way. Then you've got the mob
Speaker 1: in the media three years lies, conspiracy theories, one hoax
Speaker 1: after another proven untrue. You know how many investigations in Ausha, Russia.
Speaker 1: Let's see four four separated the FBI investigation nine months
Speaker 1: nothing we found nothing, Lisa Page said, no, they're there.
Speaker 1: Peter Struck said, by the way, there's so much developing
Speaker 1: as it relates to premeditated fraud on the FISA court.
Speaker 1: They're dumbing it all now. I'm not missing any of it,
Speaker 1: I promise you all. Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia in Peach
Speaker 1: and Peach and Peach, Ukraine, Ukraine and Ukraine. What would
Speaker 1: Democrats are doing in the middle of this? You know,
Speaker 1: when Donald Trump's implementing is xenophobic, racist, hysterical, fearmongering travel ban,
Speaker 1: which saved in calcul an incalculable number of people from
Speaker 1: contracting this diseasey they were in peaching. You know, now
Speaker 1: they're asking the President do you have blood on your hands?
Speaker 1: I'm like, really, chucky, Todd. You know, then you've got
Speaker 1: let's say, Boston Globe and I mean, I'm thinking this
Speaker 1: is where the media is mind's at. We can't take
Speaker 1: his press conferences. It's in the middle of a national emergency.
Speaker 1: And you know the real reason they don't want to
Speaker 1: take his press conferences because they'll see them their American
Speaker 1: president locked in and engaged. He's doing three hour press
Speaker 1: conferences to help the American people. They're running out of questions.
Speaker 1: Blood on his hands. You know you have a PBS anchor. Oh,
Speaker 1: they got money from the from the relief build too.
Speaker 1: Trump is stoking racism with the Chinese virus. Mika Brazinski
Speaker 1: makes the case for Obama's aids demand the Trump resign.
Speaker 1: You know, on the view let they let New Orleans
Speaker 1: may or blame Trump for not canceling Marty Gras. You know,
Speaker 1: they're you know, are you are you kissing? Trump's asked
Speaker 1: to Santa Gavenu, So no, he says, not kissing in
Speaker 1: the ring or his ass. I'm I'm I'm working with
Speaker 1: him and thank god, he's given us everything we need,
Speaker 1: everything we've asked for, and we're working together. Great. Well,
Speaker 1: they didn't like that answer. You know, maybe Andrew Cuomo
Speaker 1: can learn from his counterpart. Once New Yorkers find out
Speaker 1: what I know about Cuomo, trust me, they're gonna go
Speaker 1: back to the forty percent approval rating that he had.
Speaker 1: You know, just he's all talk and did nothing to me.
Speaker 1: It was a dereliction of duty. That goes for Schumer,
Speaker 1: and that goes for the Blasio, the whole bunch of them,
Speaker 1: the you know, I mean, I just it's breathtaking, it really,
Speaker 1: it's it's sad, it's you know, there's gonna be plenty
Speaker 1: of time with two hundred and fourteen days away from election,
Speaker 1: I promise you there's gonna be plenty of time for
Speaker 1: the campaign, plenty of time for you know, the ever confused,
Speaker 1: confounded quid pro quote Joe to make his case. Then
Speaker 1: we'll compare how he handled N one h one, as
Speaker 1: he calls it. You know, it's interesting because States, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to trying hydroxy chloroquint to treat COVID nineteen oh.
Speaker 1: Now they're finally saying it could be a game changer.
Speaker 1: How many weeks ago were they beating me over the
Speaker 1: head from mentioning it as a possible area of hope
Speaker 1: Now I didn't just pull that out of my you
Speaker 1: know what. I actually talked to a lot of doctors,
Speaker 1: read a lot of research, had my team go all in,
Speaker 1: started making phone calls behind the scenes. Just didn't come
Speaker 1: on the air and say, huh, least Governor Whitmer finally
Speaker 1: reverse course because she sees great potential. Yeah, she banned
Speaker 1: the use of it. It was dumb. Nevada did the same.
Speaker 1: California doctor says a coronavirus patiment improving with the convalescent
Speaker 1: plasma treatment. That is hopeful. People that get coronavirus build antibodies.
Speaker 1: Then those antibodies you extract the plasma and then you
Speaker 1: and you know it is then used on a very
Speaker 1: sick patient and you imfuse it into their blood and
Speaker 1: you're seeing in some cases anecdotally, of course, if you
Speaker 1: don't have time for long clinical studies. We're seeing positive results,
Speaker 1: hopeful results. A top New York blood center doctor says,
Speaker 1: the plasma coronavirus treatment is looking promising. We have a
Speaker 1: vaccine candidate showing this is in Pittsburgh. They think they
Speaker 1: have the vaccine figured out in mice where immediately they
Speaker 1: inject their vaccine into the mice and antibodies begin to form.
Speaker 1: That's how that whole process works. I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 1: I'm just read too much of this crap. But they
Speaker 1: said they've developed up MC doctors in Pittsburgh, that they've
Speaker 1: developed their vaccine hopeful. The economy scaring the living daylights
Speaker 1: out of me, and it should. And in the middle
Speaker 1: of all of this, you got Adam Schiff doing his thing.
Speaker 1: In the middle of all of this, he wants an investigation. Okay,
Speaker 1: I want to in the gate, why didn't you support
Speaker 1: the travel ban? In retrospect? Do you support the travel ban?
Speaker 1: Let's start there. How many Americans can we calculate likely
Speaker 1: would have contracted the virus if we didn't put the
Speaker 1: travel ban in place? Everyone thought it was racist, you
Speaker 1: know it is, you know, I mean, these guys were
Speaker 1: all focused on impeachment, all of them, you know, And
Speaker 1: they want an investigation now. And the mob and the
Speaker 1: media don't even want to cover the presidents press Carr,
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to do. You got AOC
Speaker 1: wanting coronavirus reparations for minorities. What is she talking about?
Speaker 1: You think she'd beat Where's all hands on deck to
Speaker 1: get a problem in the middle of this. I bet
Speaker 1: very few of you know that. You know, where are
Speaker 1: the guilty guilty Kavanaugh accusers. You know there's accusations against
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, right, Oh, maybe some of you don't know. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: woman used to work for Biden as a former employee,
Speaker 1: in a podcast with Rolling Stones, said Biden sexually assaulted
Speaker 1: her in a secluded area of the Capitol in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety three, pushing her against the wall, kissing her quote
Speaker 1: penetrating her with his fingers. When we're all the people
Speaker 1: that I believe, I haven't heard a word from the believers.
Speaker 1: CBS News actually skipped their own pole results in their coverage.
Speaker 1: Actually found a poll that showed, yeah, people are happy
Speaker 1: with the president's job and how he's handling all of
Speaker 1: this fifty three percent. They didn't mention that part of
Speaker 1: the poll in their own coverage. It's so sick. But
Speaker 1: that's where we are. Now. Let me tell you about
Speaker 1: the money side of this, and we'll get into this
Speaker 1: in our final hour today, Doctor Ross taking your calls
Speaker 1: in the next hour. President has been saying the cure
Speaker 1: can't be worse than the disease or the crisis he's right,
Speaker 1: we're in uncharted waters here. You've heard of the Laugher curve.
Speaker 1: I like Art Laugher and Levin. By the way, I
Speaker 1: had a great line on Hannity last night where he says,
Speaker 1: you can't deficit spend your way into prosperity. He's right,
Speaker 1: if you could, Venezuela would be the richest nation on earth.
Speaker 1: And what Laugher has been pointing out here is and
Speaker 1: he's been around for every one of these crisis since Nixon.
Speaker 1: And he says about Donald Trump that he's the best president.
Speaker 1: That's the single best president we've had in my lifetime.
Speaker 1: Clear thinking businessman, knows how to do things. But he's
Speaker 1: also sending out a warning on the relief package. And
Speaker 1: he's right, you know, he called a bill a helicopter
Speaker 1: money proposal of handouts. It has it does have a
Speaker 1: bad track record, now, don't The American people are rightly
Speaker 1: demanding that they're fellow Americans, through no fault of their own,
Speaker 1: get the help that they need. Small businesses stay up
Speaker 1: and running. That's part of it. But we've got to
Speaker 1: be careful here. That's why it was so infuriates what
Speaker 1: the Democrats tried to do with the relief package bill
Speaker 1: and waste all that money. You don't tax people who
Speaker 1: work and pay people who don't work and expect more work.
Speaker 1: His warning is that it never works when you just
Speaker 1: have handouts. It's a bad track record. The idea here,
Speaker 1: why I have been saying again and again, solve the problem.
Speaker 1: If we can stop the death and mitigate the contraction
Speaker 1: of the disease and get back to a normal economy
Speaker 1: and help people through that period of time. He likes
Speaker 1: the payroll tax, which I cut for the rest of
Speaker 1: the year. I like that idea too. And you know
Speaker 1: what he's saying is the payroll tax cut and liquidity lending,
Speaker 1: and he says that's pretty much all you need. Stand
Speaker 1: back and this economy will do really well. I agree
Speaker 1: with him, as the payroll tax is seven hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars and he said that would bring the
Speaker 1: economy back the fastest. I don't like the idea of
Speaker 1: rushing into we already learned shovel ready. Jobs will never
Speaker 1: shovel ready, are they just we've tried that before, so
Speaker 1: we got to be careful. Yes, Americans need help, Hospitals
Speaker 1: need help, the front lines need help. It's all hands
Speaker 1: on deck. But the idea is then get everybody back
Speaker 1: to work, solve the problem, medically, stop the death, mitigate transmission.
Speaker 1: Let's get life back to normal as soon as we can,
Speaker 1: and then we can on the other side of that,
Speaker 1: Americans want to work, most of them, always a few
Speaker 1: that would take advantage. I clad you with us our
Speaker 1: two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and nine four one, Sean,
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. Are
Speaker 1: economic experts at the top of the next hour. As
Speaker 1: talk of an infrastructure bill concerns me and what impact
Speaker 1: it would have on the economy, I don't think we're
Speaker 1: going to get a full picture read on it, and
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone can give you an accurate prediction
Speaker 1: of what would happen. And we better be very careful.
Speaker 1: And I keep reminding people, I'm looking at what Art
Speaker 1: Laugher is saying, who has been through all of these
Speaker 1: crisises since Nixon. We're gonna get to doctor oz in
Speaker 1: a second. First, medical facts without fear. One update. Anyone
Speaker 1: who gets near the president or vice president will now
Speaker 1: have to take a coronavirus test. This is the new
Speaker 1: Abbot test, which they're going to be doing fifty thousand
Speaker 1: a day unprecedented testing. But they'll be doing that fifty
Speaker 1: thousand a day, but they're using that new test that
Speaker 1: does not include the mob in the media. I think
Speaker 1: it's frankly should a huge reversal. As you know, the
Speaker 1: governor of Michigan was put up the breaks on hydroxy chloroquin,
Speaker 1: now reversing course. The only state that you can't get
Speaker 1: out of the pharmacy is New York, of all places,
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. And the governor steadfastly refusing, stubbornly
Speaker 1: refusing to allow doctors off use, compassionate use, right to try,
Speaker 1: whatever you'd like to call it, the ability to have
Speaker 1: it prescribed. There's plenty of doses now. Israel's donated ten million.
Speaker 1: We know that Novardes is now producing free for the
Speaker 1: federal government and for the American people one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty million doses bear doing the same thing. The Michigan
Speaker 1: governor now saying hydroxychloroquin shows great potential in treating coronavirus.
Speaker 1: It's a great piece. Now even the New York Times
Speaker 1: is saying, wow, made this hydroxy clerk when they're now
Speaker 1: acknowledging that it is showing quote their words, great hope. Oh,
Speaker 1: I think it was what three weeks ago, four weeks
Speaker 1: ago was getting the crap beaten out of me. I'm
Speaker 1: a little frustrated. I love doctor Fauci. I'm not sure why,
Speaker 1: but he wants the clinical studies and data, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, we all would want. We all would want that.
Speaker 1: We have six thousand doctors surveyed, saying they all see
Speaker 1: this as the best treatment for the coronavirus. But and
Speaker 1: by the way, Fauci some good was backtracking on the
Speaker 1: higher estimates that we're given out earlier this week of
Speaker 1: potentially two hundred thousand plus dying in the US. We're
Speaker 1: looking at the new virus hotspots being Florida, Michigan, Connecticut, Indiana.
Speaker 1: We're watching Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia closely as well. Fauci now
Speaker 1: saying all states should have stay at home orders. That
Speaker 1: just came out. Okay, maybe we should have heard earlier.
Speaker 1: Coronavirus may cause brain damage and swelling around the brain.
Speaker 1: It's a bad virus, especially for those to get to
Speaker 1: get the full on hit. But anyway, doctor Oz is
Speaker 1: with us. He's been amazing. I've gotten to know him,
Speaker 1: talk to him every day on radio and TV. Been
Speaker 1: extremely generous with his time. He doesn't sleep. He's been
Speaker 1: talking to doctors all around the world. Anecdotal evidence. Yes,
Speaker 1: now we're getting some studies as well. How do we
Speaker 1: save people from dying against a lot of people will
Speaker 1: get this virus. Some will have no symptoms, some will
Speaker 1: have mild symptoms, some will have normal, full on flu symptoms,
Speaker 1: but then others it will. It's a matter of life
Speaker 1: and death, and how do we prevent the death part
Speaker 1: and then the mitigation part. There was another study out
Speaker 1: that it might have prophylactic qualities, meaning hydroxy chloroquine, and
Speaker 1: we're seeing that with people that use it for rumatoi
Speaker 1: arthritis and lupus, etc. Anyway, without any further ado, doctor
Speaker 1: oz is with us. First, you want to comment or
Speaker 1: give any updates on anything that you have. I saw
Speaker 1: another study today too, doctors in New York and other
Speaker 1: states saying convalescent plasma treatments are working. I'm sure you've
Speaker 1: seen them. Well, there's a lot of advances being made.
Speaker 1: Let me just start with where you started, which was
Speaker 1: hydroxy chloroquin I just Penn. The piece published it in
Speaker 1: the Washington Examiner. The sort of goes through the story
Speaker 1: of Hollas came up, and I think if people hear
Speaker 1: this for just two seconds, they'll get why clinicians and
Speaker 1: doctors got excited. These practitioners in China were just observing
Speaker 1: people coming into the hospital and they noticed that eighty
Speaker 1: patients in a row with lupus came and not one
Speaker 1: of them had nineteen in a time when there was
Speaker 1: a complete explosion of the epidemic. It wasn't even a
Speaker 1: pandemic back then in their city of Wuhan. They did
Speaker 1: the study in February. They just published it, but they
Speaker 1: know the data was collected when they're right in the
Speaker 1: middle of this. Then they had like one hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty patients who had COVID nineteen, not one of them
Speaker 1: had lupus. So if you just hear that as a
Speaker 1: listener right now, you're gonna think, well, what's the difference
Speaker 1: these two groups. That's not a coincidence. They looked at
Speaker 1: the data and they thought, you know, one of the
Speaker 1: differences this is hydroxy chloroquine. This medication, commonly used to
Speaker 1: regulate the immune response, has some theoretical benefits in laboratory tests. Interestingly,
Speaker 1: it has been used and successfully found to block the
Speaker 1: ability of the virus to enter cells, and it also
Speaker 1: regulates the body's response to the virus once it's there.
Speaker 1: Old medication used for malaria. But you know, it's been
Speaker 1: touted for being beneficial. Virus has never been soming to
Speaker 1: be all that effective, which is I think one of
Speaker 1: the reasons that doctor foul Ji's resistant because it's one
Speaker 1: of those things everyone's heard about. But you know, it's
Speaker 1: like the kid who ever made good. Now we all
Speaker 1: of a sudden these sit in home runs, and so
Speaker 1: these clinicians took that information and they did a randomized
Speaker 1: clinical trial, and you summarize it briefly, but I want
Speaker 1: to make sure we've understand how it's how important it is.
Speaker 1: It was small, but a small trial doesn't mean it's
Speaker 1: a bad trial because small and significant means it must
Speaker 1: have been a big difference. Right, If you have to
Speaker 1: study twenty five thousand people to show a difference, how
Speaker 1: big can the difference be? But if sixty two people
Speaker 1: show you a difference, then you start thinking, well, geez,
Speaker 1: I mean that's clinically meaningful. So they showed statistically significant
Speaker 1: reductions and how many days it took together get rid
Speaker 1: of fever, how many days to get rid of your
Speaker 1: yours cough, and how many and how much your lungs
Speaker 1: got better because they all had pneumonia, and that was
Speaker 1: dramatically improved in the people who are on the medication.
Speaker 1: So it's the kind of study that FDA would look for,
Speaker 1: but it's an extra finger pointing at it. And you
Speaker 1: mentioned something else, this issue whether these rheumatoid arthritis and
Speaker 1: lupa's patients get COVID nineteen if they're on this medication,
Speaker 1: it seems anyway in the data we have so far
Speaker 1: that they don't seem to get it as often. We're
Speaker 1: still diving in this. I've got every major company plowing
Speaker 1: into this. The head of CMS, the Medicare Service, Sia Verba,
Speaker 1: who's fantastic. It's been very responsive. They tried to do it,
Speaker 1: but they didn't have a way of keeping track of
Speaker 1: who had COVID nineteen doesn't exist in government database. They
Speaker 1: just started April first, So they're giving me tips and clues,
Speaker 1: but one by one, as you say, it's you know,
Speaker 1: a detective work is painstaking, there's don't glamor in it,
Speaker 1: but it's incredibly rewarding. But we will figure out how
Speaker 1: many people in America who are already on a hydroxy
Speaker 1: chloroquin i have COVID nineteen and if the answer is
Speaker 1: very few and statistically different from the other people, well
Speaker 1: then you start to think maybe preventive works and that
Speaker 1: changes the entire perspective on the virus. How about convalescent plasma. Now,
Speaker 1: I went through a list of doctors that are highly
Speaker 1: respected that are using this treatment, those that had coronavirus
Speaker 1: that have recovered, that have antibodies in their blood, in
Speaker 1: their plasma. It's being extracted and then infused into very
Speaker 1: sick patients. And what the doctors are saying are amazing today.
Speaker 1: Just alone. Yeah, it's how you started as an old
Speaker 1: therapy again, one of those things that sort of works,
Speaker 1: but people thought we could better than that because it's
Speaker 1: sort of clunky. You got to get the plasma from
Speaker 1: somebody already had the illness, they survived because they made antibodies.
Speaker 1: Take those antibodies, they kept them alive, and give it
Speaker 1: to someone who's not going to live again. These are
Speaker 1: for very different patients than the ones we just talked
Speaker 1: about these people are in the ICU, they're just barely
Speaker 1: holding onto the precipice of life. And in the first
Speaker 1: paper published in one of our biggest journals called JAMA,
Speaker 1: Journal of the American Medical Association, five patients were given
Speaker 1: the therapy. Again, you know, twenty survival rate for this
Speaker 1: intubation in ICU with this virus is not very good.
Speaker 1: It's well under fifty percent, and all five survived for
Speaker 1: them did well, one of them not sure about from
Speaker 1: this earlier report. And you get doctors are rushing the
Speaker 1: information out. We don't. We're not taking time to cross
Speaker 1: the teaser got all the eyes because we're in a war.
Speaker 1: And so you just try and get the information out
Speaker 1: and hope someone else picks up the pieces of the
Speaker 1: puzzle and helps completed for you. And so that's encouraging
Speaker 1: and to your point, now more and more centers around
Speaker 1: the country are experimenting. I just had a conversation with
Speaker 1: a hospital in Pennsylvania and I say, guys, get on
Speaker 1: board your local blood bank and harvest blood from someone
Speaker 1: who because we don't how to do that from someone
Speaker 1: who's had the disease. Let's put an APB out for
Speaker 1: someone who had COVID nineteen, get him in there, get
Speaker 1: the blood, give it to this person, and that hospitals
Speaker 1: are doing that, which is fantastic, unheard of to move
Speaker 1: that quickly, but fantastic. Yeah, all is all right, doctor os.
Speaker 1: Now for the rest of the hour, I'm out of
Speaker 1: the way. We're gonna let you talk directly to our listeners.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred nine for one sean quick questions, quick answers.
Speaker 1: We'll get as many calls as we can. We'll start
Speaker 1: with Michael is in the great state of Pennsylvania. Michael,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show and you're on with doctor Oz. Hello,
Speaker 1: doctor us, how are you? Michael? Okay. The drugs chloroquine
Speaker 1: and hydroxy chloroquin function of zinc ionophores. They will double
Speaker 1: the level of zinc in the cells and the zinc
Speaker 1: in the cells will block the virus for manipulating the
Speaker 1: cell to make more viruses. Why isn't anybody looking into
Speaker 1: utilizing zinc ionophores I myself very Yeah, it's a great,
Speaker 1: great question. I raised this question with DDA Rowl to
Speaker 1: famous French the doctor who did the original studies that
Speaker 1: I found out that I used to figure out this
Speaker 1: combination of hydroxychloric quinn and zythromycin, which is zpac and
Speaker 1: he said he thinks the brilliant idea. He just doesn't
Speaker 1: have time. And so I know others are trying to
Speaker 1: figure this out as well. But you're saying, I believe
Speaker 1: is the truth. We made this one sheet for the
Speaker 1: entire country is the most hand out piece of paper
Speaker 1: I've ever made. There was a protocols or vival kit
Speaker 1: for the virus, and I looked at all the data
Speaker 1: on supplements there and there's not a ton. There's no
Speaker 1: data on coronavirus, but there's little data on the common cold.
Speaker 1: And one of the things that seems a shortened duration
Speaker 1: is zinc to high dose sinc. So I wouldn't. I
Speaker 1: would take load dose propilactically, maybe fifteen milligrams, but high
Speaker 1: dose if you get the illness, and I do believe
Speaker 1: it would work, but we just they're not enough people
Speaker 1: studying this to figure that all out. Great answer, a
Speaker 1: great question. And I know they're also using hydroxy chloroquin
Speaker 1: with the azithromyacin, and some are using zinc too, which
Speaker 1: we have discussed. All right back to our phones, Let's
Speaker 1: say hi, to freeda is in Texas free to hire.
Speaker 1: You're on with doctor oz Hi. My question is, doctor
Speaker 1: oz do you think that this virus can be transmitted
Speaker 1: through money, paper, money or coins? Great question. I know
Speaker 1: they can be transferred because it's been looked at. Copper
Speaker 1: can house the virus for about four hours, so don't
Speaker 1: take any pennies. Cash is actually not paper, it's paper.
Speaker 1: I mean it's not paper, it's cloth, so it can
Speaker 1: actually have virus on it. And especially because people tend
Speaker 1: to handle their money, it'll go from their feed to
Speaker 1: whoever's given it to his finger, to the paper to you.
Speaker 1: So in China they don't use paper really every year,
Speaker 1: I mean people panhandlers on the street, you they give
Speaker 1: them digital money. So in this country we still don't
Speaker 1: do that. But I certainly would avoid taking cash and
Speaker 1: points for now. You'd use a credit card as much
Speaker 1: as possible. If you're going to take cashing coins, then
Speaker 1: I wouldn't touch them for like twelve hours, let them
Speaker 1: sit by themselves, and over the course of twelve hours
Speaker 1: the virus will die. Anyway, that's a good rule of thumb. Period.
Speaker 1: If you get clothes, if you come home from outside,
Speaker 1: hang your clothes up, don't check them around the house.
Speaker 1: Over twelve hours, the virus will die. All right. For
Speaker 1: the full hour, doctor Oz will take your calls. We
Speaker 1: got to take a break here and again, Doctor Oz,
Speaker 1: thanks for your generosity. Also joining us on TV tonight,
Speaker 1: we're getting new news medically literally almost on the hour,
Speaker 1: and he's keeping us all up to speed. And as
Speaker 1: we roll along Sean Hannity Show eight hundred and nine
Speaker 1: four one, Shawn your questions for doctor Oz for the
Speaker 1: full hour. Jeff is in Texas. Jeff, Welcome to the program, sir,
Speaker 1: doctor Oz. Many years ago, I heard you say on
Speaker 1: your show right at the end that if you feel
Speaker 1: a cold coming on, eat as much watermelon as you
Speaker 1: can immediately, and I can tell you nobody in my
Speaker 1: house has been sick ever since then. My question is
Speaker 1: why don't we hear more emphasis put on how people
Speaker 1: can build their immune system so it can fight off viruses.
Speaker 1: You know, people take for granted that everyone's doing it ready,
Speaker 1: and they're not. And there was interesting comment doctor Burkesmaid.
Speaker 1: She was on my show yesterday and she was talking
Speaker 1: about the fact that age isn't the real issue. It's
Speaker 1: your physiologic age, so how old your body thinks you are.
Speaker 1: And they're different, right, and they're tools you can use,
Speaker 1: like the relay study that can calculate even better than
Speaker 1: your date of birth and actual yal prediction of how
Speaker 1: long you're gonna lives. So it's your point. If you're
Speaker 1: taking great care of yourself and you're seventy years old,
Speaker 1: you know what many diabetes and any hypertension, there's no
Speaker 1: cardiovaster disease, there's no diabetes, then you're actually behaving like
Speaker 1: you're more of a sixty year old. So your body
Speaker 1: will respond to threats and insults like the coronavirus in
Speaker 1: that fashion. And likewise, they're plenty of sixty year olds
Speaker 1: or factly fifty year olds who haven't taken themselves and
Speaker 1: taking the care of themselves, and they develop all the
Speaker 1: complications I just mentioned, and they're behaving more like a
Speaker 1: sixty five year old. So what you're pointing out is
Speaker 1: profoundly important. Two big tipshrive and listening. You need to
Speaker 1: sleep more. It's a single best thing you can do
Speaker 1: for immune system. And daily exercise works because it stimulates
Speaker 1: revs the engine a bit and get your immune system
Speaker 1: on the lookout because if you're out there chasing for
Speaker 1: your prey, you might get hurt. So the immune system
Speaker 1: is ready for you. Great called Jeff, thank you. Let
Speaker 1: us say hi to Jesse Idaho. Jesse, you're own with
Speaker 1: doctor Oz. Hey, doctor Oz, thanks so much for coming
Speaker 1: on the show. I really appreciate it. Thank you, Jesse.
Speaker 1: What's your question? Well, and Sean's brilliant for having you
Speaker 1: on the show. Sean, you're one of the few smart
Speaker 1: and trustworthy people in the media, and I honestly think
Speaker 1: you'll go down in history. Is one of the greatest
Speaker 1: Americans now that don't don't read the press on me. Hey,
Speaker 1: so what's your question for doctor no No? I was
Speaker 1: just reading from a list of things that the dumbest
Speaker 1: person in the world would say. But my question for
Speaker 1: doctor Oz is where do you think Sean in his
Speaker 1: storage keeps his spine. I gotta deal with a lot
Speaker 1: of in coming. I tell you the interesting thing about media,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if everyone appreciates this, but you
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time double checking yourself when you're
Speaker 1: harder on yourself than your critics, which is why you
Speaker 1: get up every morning. You try every time. Even people
Speaker 1: you disagree with I found that to be true. You know,
Speaker 1: it's funny because whatever chip I used to have, maybe
Speaker 1: when I started in my career that like you care
Speaker 1: what other people think, it's gone. I just criticism rolls
Speaker 1: off me like water off a duck's pack. I don't
Speaker 1: care anymore. It doesn't matter as long as I'm seeking
Speaker 1: the truth. And like we were right about let's see
Speaker 1: premeditated fraud by his abuse court, there's more information right
Speaker 1: about calling the media out on being wrong on Russia. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for investigations, no Russia collusion. All right, they've been wrong
Speaker 1: on this too. Doctor Oz stays with us for the
Speaker 1: full hour eight hundred nine four one. Sean want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program than the latest economic
Speaker 1: proposals is the cure worse. Brian is in the Great
Speaker 1: State of Florida. We're watching Florida very closely as a
Speaker 1: potential next hot spot after New York. We're watching Michigan.
Speaker 1: We're watching Louisiana very closely. Brian, you're on with doctor Ozz.
Speaker 1: Glad you called, sir, Hi, Doctor Oz, thanks for taking
Speaker 1: the call. How are you, Brian? What's your question? My
Speaker 1: son is on the front line as knee. Our doctor
Speaker 1: in Orlando, we talked to him every night, and we
Speaker 1: talked to him last night. He said, it's getting scary
Speaker 1: because when a patient comes in for something, you don't
Speaker 1: know if you have to help, if they have the
Speaker 1: virus or not, whether to put on all the ppe.
Speaker 1: I told him it's very important because he's very important
Speaker 1: in this fight, and he just needs to take a
Speaker 1: breath and make sure that he has the proper gear on.
Speaker 1: He said, Dad, that patient might not have that breath
Speaker 1: to spare. The problem is the doctors are working without
Speaker 1: the help they normally get because they're trying to limit
Speaker 1: the number of people exposed to anyone who comes into
Speaker 1: the yar who might have the virus. So it's really
Speaker 1: complicating the emergency rooms the first day. Thank you for
Speaker 1: for what your son does. We're praying for him and you.
Speaker 1: And it's a great question, doctor us. Wow. I mean
Speaker 1: that's perfectly describing the challenge, and God bless you for
Speaker 1: articulating it so well. So the reality is we have
Speaker 1: to limit number of people in the room because we
Speaker 1: don't have enough people to go around and we can't
Speaker 1: lose them all. At my hospital, we're looking at fifteen
Speaker 1: twenty percent infection rates of the caregivers. And I'll just
Speaker 1: share something with you, because I'm a doctor, I tell
Speaker 1: you the truth him if you know, you don't want
Speaker 1: to hear initially, which you'll appreciate it down the road.
Speaker 1: Part of the reason healthcare professionals get sicker or something
Speaker 1: we think when they get infected is because they get
Speaker 1: big bullus as a virus. So if you're trying to
Speaker 1: put a breeding tube in a patient and the patient's
Speaker 1: trust struggling, which anybody would that comp that comes out
Speaker 1: of their mouth, that goes right into your face. If
Speaker 1: you're not well protected, it becomes a problem. As much
Speaker 1: as your son wants to make sure that he's there
Speaker 1: for that one before the last breath so we can intervene,
Speaker 1: his staying healthy is actually more critical to the system
Speaker 1: than that extra breath because if he goes down, the
Speaker 1: whole system goes down. That's the know. In New York
Speaker 1: State everyone's talking about ventilators. Then they are important, of course,
Speaker 1: but we don't have enough people to run the ventilators.
Speaker 1: We're getting people who are not an untold story. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you just said this is a key, very key
Speaker 1: point you're making. We don't have the operators that know
Speaker 1: how to operate the ventilators, so your boy's got to
Speaker 1: take care of himself. Even though it's not in our
Speaker 1: nature and our culture to take that extra step backwards
Speaker 1: to take to make sure he got the protective gear on,
Speaker 1: but it's worth the investment. Great call. We're praying for
Speaker 1: your son and all these brave professionals, doctors, nurses, scientists,
Speaker 1: medical staff. There's a viral video of people janitors cleaning hospitals.
Speaker 1: They're in their lives at risk and they got they
Speaker 1: got a big hand from the medical staff and brought
Speaker 1: one of the workers to tears. Sure they're scared every
Speaker 1: day going to work, but they were in gowns, massed up.
Speaker 1: But it's still scary. Louis in Pennsylvania. Lou you're on
Speaker 1: with doctor Oz. Glad you called. Hey, Hi, guys, I
Speaker 1: just have a theory. I wanted to see if you
Speaker 1: agreed with it. Uh. I know that in New York City,
Speaker 1: in the metro area, there is over thirty thousand elevators,
Speaker 1: and I think that the hotspots are being caused and
Speaker 1: exponentially increased by the big cities with the big elevators.
Speaker 1: I mean sixty seventy stories you get on the first floor,
Speaker 1: second floor, how many people come off and on And
Speaker 1: now they're talking that just talking to people can spread
Speaker 1: the virus. I think that is one of the biggest
Speaker 1: I used to think gas pumps were bad, but I
Speaker 1: think the elevators are really the cause of causing these
Speaker 1: big cities to have these outbursts. You know, they can
Speaker 1: add to this, lou Is that you know, let me
Speaker 1: tell you the city is on basically shut down in
Speaker 1: many many ways. But doctor Row's a great question. I've
Speaker 1: always bragged that I have the smartest audience in television,
Speaker 1: but this is stunning. That is such a great observation.
Speaker 1: And actually it was studied in China. They went through
Speaker 1: these malls and they say, okay, there's a focus of
Speaker 1: infection on the seventh floor in the wardrobe section, and
Speaker 1: then they saw how did the infection spread, And the
Speaker 1: infection spread off that area in two ways. It's spread
Speaker 1: in the bathrooms because the women would go to a
Speaker 1: bathroom in a different floor because they know their alternating
Speaker 1: sex bathrooms and the elevators, And you're absolutely right. They
Speaker 1: pinpointed the elevator for two reasons. One, you cannot save
Speaker 1: six feet away from someone in an elevator. Edone walks
Speaker 1: in and they face the front, so you're facing it
Speaker 1: basically at each other's heads. And then any break that's
Speaker 1: coming out of your mouth in any conversation, it immediately
Speaker 1: creates a cloud in the elevator. And you know that
Speaker 1: cloud that when someone speaks and says a word like
Speaker 1: health that's own, there's a little bit of spit that
Speaker 1: comes out. That cloud could last up there fifteen twenty minutes,
Speaker 1: so someone who wasn't in the elevator when you got
Speaker 1: in there may have contaminated it. Plus the buttons in
Speaker 1: the elevator you're absolutely right to see. Like New York,
Speaker 1: no one's walking seventy flights, so you're all taking the elevator.
Speaker 1: And it ended up becoming a huge problem in China.
Speaker 1: We just never got around the studying it, and it
Speaker 1: was one of those things. There's I think there's a
Speaker 1: couple of things that caught us. The elevators, for sure.
Speaker 1: Public transportation. The big difference in New York and LA
Speaker 1: is that in New York we have a great public
Speaker 1: transportations to something everybody uses it. In La you know,
Speaker 1: there's nothing underground, so it spared them in this case
Speaker 1: from being close he confined while the virus was exploding.
Speaker 1: And then the latrines, the public bathroom has become a problem,
Speaker 1: not because they're dirty, because of the culprits. You can't
Speaker 1: see it because you're flushing stuff and it's in yours,
Speaker 1: it's in the food coming out of it, and it spreads.
Speaker 1: But that is a perfect insight, and I would not
Speaker 1: use an elevators perfect. First of all, it's good to
Speaker 1: exercise anyway, but I would not use an elevator if
Speaker 1: you could avoid it. If you're in a pandemic zone.
Speaker 1: It's just there's no way of keeping clean. Great call
Speaker 1: Robert Carolina for doctor Oz. Robert glad you called. Thank you,
Speaker 1: doctor Oz, Thank you for getting me on. Bottom line
Speaker 1: is how do I get my antibodies tested? The back
Speaker 1: name because my wife and I had a delightful three
Speaker 1: week vacation in northern Italy. We returned in the middle
Speaker 1: of January. We starting on our return flight, we started
Speaker 1: feeling sick. We had primarily upper respiratory symptoms. We had
Speaker 1: extreme fatigue, loss of stamina, and for about a month
Speaker 1: after we returned home. We didn't even want to leave
Speaker 1: the house. We just had no energy and our upper
Speaker 1: symptoms were pretty severe. I'm stubborn, she's stubborn. We did
Speaker 1: not seek medical attention, but once we saw our primary
Speaker 1: care doctor several weeks later, it was just for a
Speaker 1: routine checkup, he said, well, maybe you did have a coronavirus.
Speaker 1: And our thought is I wonder if where you got tested,
Speaker 1: we find out that we did have antibodies and our
Speaker 1: plasma would be valuable. So that's my question. Help you
Speaker 1: with this real quick. First of all, thank you for
Speaker 1: it's the right reason to want to learn, because you
Speaker 1: can don't ate your plasma and save a life. As
Speaker 1: we discussed earlier, convalescent plasma. Your antibodies can change the
Speaker 1: future of someone who can't make the antibodies the way
Speaker 1: you did and your wife did. I bet you that
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the people who have coronavirus never knew it.
Speaker 1: I mean, forget about you, you actually had symptoms. Fifty
Speaker 1: percent walking around, They got a little headache, they just
Speaker 1: didn't feel on their game one day, they slept a
Speaker 1: little longer one night. That's coronavirus for some people. And
Speaker 1: so and we know this from the cruise ships. People
Speaker 1: getting off the cruise ships. They sampled everybody. Fifty percent
Speaker 1: of the people were doing plotties the whole time, you know,
Speaker 1: running laps the other ones they were ill and knew
Speaker 1: they were sick, and they all had They all had
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. So even if you weren't sick, you could
Speaker 1: have had it if you did have those symptoms, it's
Speaker 1: a likelihood. Doctor Burke's told me I'll show yars today
Speaker 1: that she thinks we'll have those anybody kids rolling out
Speaker 1: in a high enough volume that with him two weeks
Speaker 1: will begin to use them. They're not great to diagnose
Speaker 1: if you've got it, but they'll tell us if you
Speaker 1: did have it, and that those two things. One obviously
Speaker 1: you can donate, but more importantly, you know you can't
Speaker 1: get it again because we're pretty sure you're immune for
Speaker 1: at least a while. So that's a part of the
Speaker 1: workforce that could begin to do things that it's hard
Speaker 1: for others to do. They could go into urgency rooms
Speaker 1: more readily, they can they can begin to go back
Speaker 1: to work without fear being fearful of catching it, and
Speaker 1: it would free us up a little bit to get
Speaker 1: back to work. Good call. We appreciate it, Robert, Thank you.
Speaker 1: Barry is in Hampton, Virginia. Barry, you're on what doctor
Speaker 1: os glad you called, Yes, sir, Hight doctors just wondering
Speaker 1: in your opinion about how much long do you think
Speaker 1: this thing will last before it actually resides In your opinion,
Speaker 1: I know it's sixty four thousand dollars quar well the
Speaker 1: virus aside for sure. But with our help, if we
Speaker 1: continue a socially distance, I think by the first of
Speaker 1: May at least most of the crises will start. We'll
Speaker 1: have been heading down for long enough they will feel
Speaker 1: like we take a breath. New York should peak in
Speaker 1: about two weeks. Los Angeles and all the other big
Speaker 1: cities that got it a little bit later, you know,
Speaker 1: within the following week, and the whole country should be
Speaker 1: heading back down towards normal. And that's all we have
Speaker 1: to have. We don't know as fast as it went up,
Speaker 1: it'll go down that fast as well. As long as
Speaker 1: it's tracking in the right direction, then I think the
Speaker 1: task force is can be comfortable opening up some states
Speaker 1: that have low incidents. I was just talking to our
Speaker 1: legislator in West Virginia. They don't have many cases there.
Speaker 1: You could open up West Virginia and then do the experiment,
Speaker 1: which is, can we really tell if you've got it?
Speaker 1: And can we get in front of you fast enough
Speaker 1: before you affect a bunch of people if you do
Speaker 1: get sick, that way you, your family and workers are
Speaker 1: protected and we'll quarantine that little group, but not take
Speaker 1: the whole town down. And if we can work out
Speaker 1: the kinks in the system with testing, we have to
Speaker 1: have testing, then as the bigger cities start to recover,
Speaker 1: we can begin to test them and do the same thing,
Speaker 1: because it's a lot harder to do in New York
Speaker 1: than it's going to be in a town of West Virginia.
Speaker 1: Good call, Barry, Thank you, Cal Washington, Glad you called
Speaker 1: your own with doctor Oz. Hello, doctor Os, it's a
Speaker 1: pleasure to talk with you. I'm sixty six and have hypertension,
Speaker 1: and I also get an IVIG treatment every two weeks
Speaker 1: for another neurological condition that I have without iv G.
Speaker 1: If I were exposed, will that iv G help my
Speaker 1: immune system to fight this off? Probably won't help, but
Speaker 1: probably won't hurt either. It's you know that's designed for
Speaker 1: a very specific purpose. The immunical oppelance we'd use for
Speaker 1: coronavirus and more targeted for this purpose. You know, across
Speaker 1: the board, we're learning a lot about the conditions people
Speaker 1: bring into the illness. Earlier question asked about keeping your
Speaker 1: mute system strong. Much of it you do yourself. But
Speaker 1: sometimes your mute system just isn't like everybody else's and
Speaker 1: it might make you more prone or less prone. As
Speaker 1: a good example, I was talking to Sean, you talking
Speaker 1: to the wee hours of the morning, which is not
Speaker 1: good for either of us, But I was asking him
Speaker 1: about his blood type, and Sean, if you're okay, you
Speaker 1: can share this blow. So people who are blood type
Speaker 1: OH are less likely to get the coronavirus, or at
Speaker 1: least get a reaction to it. People who are blood
Speaker 1: type A are more likely. Now that doesn't give you
Speaker 1: a free pass if you're an OH, but it's so
Speaker 1: interesting that something as simple as your blood type and
Speaker 1: there's so many more detailed ways because look at your jeans,
Speaker 1: and women have more problems with it, Men die more often.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is interesting dichotomy that we've got to
Speaker 1: face with this virus. We'll figure this all out. If
Speaker 1: you look at pictures of the virus, it's really cool
Speaker 1: because you can understand that it's like a key opening
Speaker 1: the lock of the door. How many of those doors
Speaker 1: you have is important. Older people have more doors. Young
Speaker 1: people have no doors in their nose, so the virus
Speaker 1: goes in there. In the same household, you'll have the
Speaker 1: dad get the illness, the mom will get it almost
Speaker 1: for sure, right, and then the adult kids maybe maybe
Speaker 1: not the grandkids they never get it and just because
Speaker 1: they don't have any of those doors to get on
Speaker 1: a lock. But the same brus it's been. It's been fascinating,
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Um, I just want to say this.
Speaker 1: Um so doctor Oz and I've become I'm so glad
Speaker 1: I've gotten to know you also personally, and what I've
Speaker 1: really learned about you, and I want people to understand
Speaker 1: is that you this is your calling in life, this
Speaker 1: is your passion, this is your you know you're right
Speaker 1: we do talking to the late hours you mentioned earlier. Oh,
Speaker 1: you need to get a good night's sleep. Um yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not the bigg I've never been a big sleeper.
Speaker 1: My pillow helps me. But I'm i stay up late
Speaker 1: like you do, but you're literally I just want people
Speaker 1: to know, all day, all night, he's accumulating data and
Speaker 1: information from all around the world and the hopes of
Speaker 1: a treatment. Now, of course, we don't have time for
Speaker 1: the clinical trials in the hope to save lives, in
Speaker 1: the hope to mitigate people contracting this disease. And as
Speaker 1: I've gotten to know you and listen to the enormous
Speaker 1: amounts of information you're getting, it's phenomenal to me. And
Speaker 1: you're you know, I mean, it's just it's great to
Speaker 1: know you as a person, and I want people to
Speaker 1: know what you're doing and how hard you're working. And
Speaker 1: you know, I don't care that people were hitting me
Speaker 1: over hydroxy chloroquine. You've had people attacking you, and now
Speaker 1: they're all coming around saying, oh, doctor Oz is likely right. Well,
Speaker 1: you're not pulling this out of a vacuum. You work
Speaker 1: hard to get that research. And I want to applaud
Speaker 1: you for the great work you're doing. And I want
Speaker 1: to thank you personally for you know, being available. You've
Speaker 1: been coming on radio and TV every night, and now
Speaker 1: you're taking calls here today and I think we're going
Speaker 1: to do this every week until this thing passes. Is
Speaker 1: that right? I'd love to keep helping. I tell your
Speaker 1: audience is very influential. I've been so impressed by the
Speaker 1: questions today. But the bigger part of this puzzle for
Speaker 1: of us all is that if enough of us understand
Speaker 1: what the real issues are with the virus, we call
Speaker 1: everybody else down because you fear most, but you don't understand.
Speaker 1: So thanks to you, we're able to shine a light
Speaker 1: into the dark corners of this issue for a lot
Speaker 1: of people, and that fully lift you up. I hope
Speaker 1: you all feel better about what you heard this hour,
Speaker 1: because I was trying to give you good news and
Speaker 1: I'm going to re emphasize it. Half the people literally
Speaker 1: don't have any symptoms. We believe eighty percent of the
Speaker 1: rest of the people to just fine, and at last
Speaker 1: twenty percent they also do okay generally, except for a
Speaker 1: quarter to go to the hospital and go to the ICU.
Speaker 1: So your numbers are heavily in your favor if you
Speaker 1: take the basic steps to protect yourself. And there are
Speaker 1: a couple of things even today you'd start like, don't
Speaker 1: do what we do because we're struggling to keep up
Speaker 1: with the data. But sleep I mentioned earlier exercise, but
Speaker 1: you really do have to break a sweat every day,
Speaker 1: just for a few minutes, if you can, and most importantly,
Speaker 1: find a purpose in life, because the people who are
Speaker 1: feeling down, remember the quilt of humanity, what keeps us
Speaker 1: going as each other? And if you can just find
Speaker 1: a purpose that always gives you hope, well you've found
Speaker 1: your God given purpose. Doctor Os. We'll see you tonight
Speaker 1: on TV. Thank you so much for spending so much
Speaker 1: time with us. We appreciate it. Take everybody, bye bye,
Speaker 1: all right, News, Round of Information overload hours Sean Hannity's Show,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine four one Sean, if you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, A lot of
Speaker 1: time on facts without fear. What do you need to know?
Speaker 1: On the medical side, some stuff scary at times, but
Speaker 1: there's hope in a lot of areas where I live
Speaker 1: in Long Island. Now this is the epicenter. Three thousand
Speaker 1: cases identified today alone. This is when the distancing begins
Speaker 1: to really matter some even the governor who's totally ill prepared. No,
Speaker 1: I mean no preparation. There's no excuse for this none.
Speaker 1: I mean first Trade Center bombing, you know, World Trade
Speaker 1: Center nine to eleven. Seriously, you know you're worn by
Speaker 1: your own medical task force that if there's a pandemic
Speaker 1: in the state of New York back in twenty fifteen
Speaker 1: when you're the governor, he was the governor, says this
Speaker 1: is his third term. Yeah, you're gonna be sixteen thousand
Speaker 1: men later, short, what did he do? Goes back to
Speaker 1: the task force, Well, how do we ration the two
Speaker 1: thousand we have? And then he then I need thirty
Speaker 1: thousand ventilators when the four thousand, four hundred the President
Speaker 1: sent him is in a warehouse. It's unbelievable. It really
Speaker 1: is numble the three thousand cases today where I am.
Speaker 1: But we we've been telling you now that get ready,
Speaker 1: buckle up. There's gonna be rocky month this, this these
Speaker 1: next few weeks. But then, as doctor Ross said, we're
Speaker 1: gonna level if the patterns hold. We have no reason
Speaker 1: to believe they will not level off drop dramatically. And
Speaker 1: but you know in the country, we're gonna see a
Speaker 1: little bit of waves geographically of this, and that's why
Speaker 1: we're keeping our eye on other states, other potential hotspots,
Speaker 1: like for example, Louisiana, why the local mayor goes on.
Speaker 1: I guess it was the View or some hard hitting
Speaker 1: news show like that. And Donald Trump should have shut
Speaker 1: down Marty Gras. If he tried, you would have had
Speaker 1: a fit number one. And that's not his job, that's
Speaker 1: your job. And it's just pathetic the the number of people.
Speaker 1: And I do credit Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom has done
Speaker 1: probably of the governors and states that are most are
Speaker 1: the hardest hit has done the best job, and he's
Speaker 1: the one complaining the least. And you know, like I
Speaker 1: love I love Cuomo. Cuomo doesn't get the ventilators screaming
Speaker 1: in these ventilators. Why didn't you get him? Andrew and
Speaker 1: nobody in the mob media New York even asked the guy.
Speaker 1: They don't even ask him. How is it that even
Speaker 1: basic equipment everything has to be supplied now by Washington
Speaker 1: in New York Geographically for pandemics, you have the highest
Speaker 1: concentration of people ten eleven million people in New York
Speaker 1: City and the smallest geographical area, and at the height
Speaker 1: of the pandemic, you need sixteen thousand more ventilators. He said, no, um,
Speaker 1: how can I And then he wastes money I mean
Speaker 1: the amount of money that Quoma seven hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: million dollars on this solar panel factory and upstairs New
Speaker 1: York that they had to mothball after they wasted the money.
Speaker 1: And then another six hundred million dollar disaster, and then
Speaker 1: a let's see a ninety million dollar lightbulb disaster with
Speaker 1: a California company. It's unbelievable. You see the worst of
Speaker 1: the worst. Now, one of the things that we are
Speaker 1: concerned about is the issue of the economy. And I've
Speaker 1: been bringing this up and we're going to spend some
Speaker 1: time on this now, and the idea that all right,
Speaker 1: So we have two point two trillion dollars held up,
Speaker 1: of course by the Democrats because they wanted funding for
Speaker 1: the Kennedy Center for the Arts, which then they get
Speaker 1: the money and they turn around and they fired their employees.
Speaker 1: Can you believe that? Unbelievable? You know, they're holding back money.
Speaker 1: So seventy five million of the aid money can go
Speaker 1: to the National Endowment for the Arts, another seventy five
Speaker 1: million the National Endowment for the Humanities. You know, holding
Speaker 1: back for over a week relief money. We're out of work, Americans,
Speaker 1: the American people want to help their fellow Americans. We
Speaker 1: rebuilt Europe. We're going to help Americans out of work
Speaker 1: through no fault of their own. You don't want to
Speaker 1: make you, but you want to make it so that
Speaker 1: immediately once we solve, as doctor Oz was saying, once
Speaker 1: we get to that precipitous decline, we want to get
Speaker 1: the economy up and going as quickly as we possibly can.
Speaker 1: Is what Art Laugher has been been saying. And now
Speaker 1: they're talking about another two trillion. I'm like, wait, wait,
Speaker 1: we have two point two trillion that now we have
Speaker 1: to get out into the hands of the people that
Speaker 1: need it. Workers that need it, hospitals that need the moneys,
Speaker 1: small businesses, big businesses. Well, let's let's now'll go for
Speaker 1: the infrastructural leaf money. Okay, they're not going to be
Speaker 1: shown already jobs. We've learned that. And I think that
Speaker 1: Art Laugher had it right in an interview he did
Speaker 1: with Fox. You know, he called the bill a helicopter
Speaker 1: money proposal of handouts, and he's pointed out that has
Speaker 1: a bad track record historically, it never works, and it
Speaker 1: can cause the problem to get worse and worse. You
Speaker 1: don't tax people who work and pay people who don't work,
Speaker 1: and expect more work. And he's right. And he talked about,
Speaker 1: and I agree with him, a payroll tax cut for
Speaker 1: the rest of the year, seven to eight months at least,
Speaker 1: to make sure it's more attractive for people to work
Speaker 1: and more attractive for companies to hire. And guaranteeing the
Speaker 1: FED freeing up loan money. Yeah, he's supporting guaranteeing liquidity
Speaker 1: loans to help businesses stay afloat the payroll tax. Remember,
Speaker 1: we got to keep the company open. Why because even
Speaker 1: in these hardested areas, you still need food, you still
Speaker 1: need medicines, you still need medical supplies, you still need gasoline.
Speaker 1: You know, we can't shut the entire country's economy down.
Speaker 1: I understand. You know there are areas of the country
Speaker 1: that are not experiencing what is going on where I
Speaker 1: happen to live. But there are going to be once
Speaker 1: New York and then a geographically a little shift will
Speaker 1: be paying attentional Louisiana, Florida, Michigan and Indiana and some
Speaker 1: other states, and then they'll get the help, and then
Speaker 1: all the things we learned in New York we will
Speaker 1: do there. He did say he thinks the president is
Speaker 1: the single best president we've had in our lifetime, and
Speaker 1: he's a businessman that knows how to do things anyway,
Speaker 1: that's a big focus this hour. Jim Jordan is with us.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what to say about your
Speaker 1: Democratic colleagues, because you see the best in American business,
Speaker 1: the best in the American people, the best in our military,
Speaker 1: the best and healthcare workers and doctors and nurses frontlines
Speaker 1: risking their own lives in this. And then you see
Speaker 1: Congress holding back necessary aid for American workers, businesses, and
Speaker 1: hospitals so they can fund the arts and change election
Speaker 1: laws and immigration laws. And then they want to start
Speaker 1: an investigation in the middle of a national emergency. And
Speaker 1: the media doesn't even want them to carry the president's
Speaker 1: press conferences. I'm done, I'll shut up. Yeah, no, no.
Speaker 1: And that last thing you mentioned is the worst. The
Speaker 1: idea that Pelosi and Adam Schiff are talking about, a
Speaker 1: select committee to look into how the president's hands. The
Speaker 1: President's hanld this as good as anybody could. He's provided
Speaker 1: tremendous leadership, and they want to set up a special
Speaker 1: committee to go after the president. The same people as
Speaker 1: you rightly said, who said, oh, Polos. He had a
Speaker 1: quote in one of the stories just I saw she said, oh, well,
Speaker 1: there's there's this two trillion dollars. We want to make
Speaker 1: sure that this money is going the right places being done.
Speaker 1: We want this kind of committee to oversee all this
Speaker 1: and look at this, see how the administration's handle it.
Speaker 1: This is the same lady who got twenty five million
Speaker 1: for the Kennedy Senter. This is the same lady who
Speaker 1: wanted the Green New Deal in the legislation, same ladies
Speaker 1: who wanted money for NPR. And it's like February twenty four,
Speaker 1: she's saying, Oh, come to China Town and spend money,
Speaker 1: and don't be afraid a little late, Nancy, and you're
Speaker 1: impeaching the president when he was implementing the chair travel ban. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that's that's the part that I think is so
Speaker 1: frustrating for so many Americans now that when they come
Speaker 1: out with this news just a couple days ago that
Speaker 1: they were gonna they we're gonna establish some committee too,
Speaker 1: and we all know what it's force just to go
Speaker 1: after the president. Again, that's the part of the bout,
Speaker 1: because you're right, the American people, We'll get through this.
Speaker 1: We'll get through this. I always say, there's my favorite
Speaker 1: scripture versus Second Timothy four seven. Paul says, fight the
Speaker 1: good fight, finish the course, keep the faith, fight finished,
Speaker 1: keep That's what Americans have done for two hundred plus years.
Speaker 1: We will do it again. Now. We will get through this.
Speaker 1: But we got to get through it as quickly as possible,
Speaker 1: using common sense, doing the right things. But as the
Speaker 1: President said a week and a half ago, Sean, we
Speaker 1: can't make the cure worse than the disease. So we
Speaker 1: do got to get through this as best we can,
Speaker 1: as quick as we can, and do any things the
Speaker 1: right way. And I understand we gotta listen to the experts,
Speaker 1: but we got to get this economy back up and running,
Speaker 1: as you were talking about, so that we can we
Speaker 1: can get America moving again in the right direction. How
Speaker 1: quickly will Americans see those money, Jim Jordan, I think soon.
Speaker 1: You know. I've been today. I've been calling around to
Speaker 1: a number of our business leaders, Chamber of Commerce leaders
Speaker 1: in our district because today sort of the day when
Speaker 1: that when so many businesses we're going through the Small
Speaker 1: Business Administration, working through their local banks, uh for these
Speaker 1: for these small business to make sure they can help
Speaker 1: their their their employees. So we've been calling around trying
Speaker 1: to fair. I think it's going to work as quickly
Speaker 1: as possible. I didn't remember this as government. Government never
Speaker 1: works that quick, But I think this situation is going
Speaker 1: to be better than it normally is with government because
Speaker 1: we've got the good people in the Trump administration working
Speaker 1: so hard. Very important. Now. I heard Manucha was out
Speaker 1: there yesterday with the head of the Small Business Administration,
Speaker 1: and apparently that is up now today or as of
Speaker 1: last night, for small businesses to apply. Now, apparently they're
Speaker 1: going to be able to get loans to keep their
Speaker 1: their employees employed and eventually that will become a grant.
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yes, if they keep the vast majority
Speaker 1: of their employees on payroll, I think than the percentage
Speaker 1: of seventy five percent or more than it will in
Speaker 1: essence turn from alan into a grant. Because again, you know,
Speaker 1: we we hated, you know, us conservatives, we hated this
Speaker 1: idea of a two trillion dollars bill. But when you
Speaker 1: have the government telling business you can't operate, and you
Speaker 1: can't operate because of the nature of this virus, you
Speaker 1: had to do something. And so while it was a
Speaker 1: lot of bad things in this bill, there were some
Speaker 1: needed things in this legislation, namely the things we're talking
Speaker 1: about that help small business owners. If they keep the
Speaker 1: vast majority of their employees on the payroll, then it
Speaker 1: will turn into a grant and not a loan. Okay. Now,
Speaker 1: as it relates to American workers, through no fault of
Speaker 1: their own, the moneys that were appropriated, they'll be able
Speaker 1: to get that too. Why are we why are people
Speaker 1: talking about an infrastructure bill when honestly, I actually agree
Speaker 1: with Art Laugher. We can't. The President was saying this
Speaker 1: from the beginning. We can't make the cure worse than
Speaker 1: what we've had here. Once we get this under control,
Speaker 1: we want Americains right back in the workplace. And that
Speaker 1: is the single best antidote for the economy, without a doubt,
Speaker 1: with nothing works. If people, I mean, let's just be honest,
Speaker 1: If people don't get up and go to work in
Speaker 1: the morning, you don't have an economy. I mean, all
Speaker 1: people said all the fundamentals were great in this economy
Speaker 1: because the virus hit. That is true. But the most
Speaker 1: fundamental of fundamentals is the idea that every morning people
Speaker 1: get up and go to work and make this amazing economy,
Speaker 1: the greatest economy in human history. Make it work. It
Speaker 1: will not work if we don't work. So yeah, we've
Speaker 1: got to get back to work as soon as possible. Now,
Speaker 1: we're going to have to continue to exercise common since measures.
Speaker 1: We understand that. But let's make this happen as soon
Speaker 1: as possible. I love the press. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: the President has done a great job in all these
Speaker 1: press conferences. But about a week and a half ago,
Speaker 1: that first first really long press conference he did when
Speaker 1: he stood up there and said the line you just
Speaker 1: use Sean, the cure can't be worse than the disease,
Speaker 1: and talked about we got to get this country moving again,
Speaker 1: back and back to work. That's the attitude the American
Speaker 1: people have. That's what they want to see from their
Speaker 1: from their ters, particularly from our president. Um, and that's
Speaker 1: what we have to do. So let's let's deal with
Speaker 1: this over the next few weeks. But then let's get
Speaker 1: back to work as quickly as possible and get this
Speaker 1: thing moving again. All right, Jim Jordan, Uh, let us
Speaker 1: keep us updated, especially under when those displaced workers, small
Speaker 1: business people are going to get the help that they need.
Speaker 1: And I have a funny feeling that you're probably gonna
Speaker 1: have to kick these people and then you know where,
Speaker 1: because they're just pathetic bureaucrats, a lot of these people.
Speaker 1: So we've got to get the money to the people
Speaker 1: that was promised too. And I don't think this is
Speaker 1: the time to be talking about new moneies. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure where all that came from. It's we
Speaker 1: just passed a billst on that was equivalent to about
Speaker 1: one tenth of I mean, you think about we have
Speaker 1: a twenty three trillion dollars economy, and so we just
Speaker 1: passed the bill to two point two trillion dollars. Holy cow,
Speaker 1: the largest spending measure in the history of probably humanity.
Speaker 1: So and now we're with Pelosi's already talking about spending
Speaker 1: more in stage four. Let's see how Phase three works,
Speaker 1: and let's focus on dealing with this virus. So Americans,
Speaker 1: let's focus on getting the phase Let's get a focus
Speaker 1: on getting the two point two trillion into the hands
Speaker 1: of the people it's meant for. That would be a
Speaker 1: big help all right, Jim Jordan, Congressman Ohio, thank you.
Speaker 1: Right as we roll along eight hundred and nine four one, Sean,
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna be checking in with the President's White
Speaker 1: House test Force and his briefing, likely at the bottom
Speaker 1: of the half hour, as we have been doing. We'll
Speaker 1: do it after the news at the bottom of the
Speaker 1: half hour, so we take it for you live. Oh
Speaker 1: isn't it interesting the mob in the media doesn't want
Speaker 1: to carry it. How pathetic is that? Well, no, we
Speaker 1: don't or we don't want the president here from the
Speaker 1: President of the United States. Why not? Why? Because it
Speaker 1: is something that the country wants to hear that is
Speaker 1: critical to you know, a national emergency. That's how pathetic
Speaker 1: these people are. That's how you know political they are.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of news information coming through.
Speaker 1: By the way, we now a million cases worldwide, remember
Speaker 1: n one h one to quote Joe was sixty point
Speaker 1: eight million in the US. Rick Scott, by the way,
Speaker 1: the WHO is horrible and he's demanding documents from the WHO.
Speaker 1: Nobody in Wuhan believes The Wuhan Provinciary believes China's numbers.
Speaker 1: They all think they're lying, which is interesting. Funny that
Speaker 1: the New York Times, of all people, why didn't they
Speaker 1: just put another column we were wrong on Russia, wrong
Speaker 1: on Ukraine, or wrong on premeditated fraud on the FISA court,
Speaker 1: and Sean Hannity was right. And now even they are
Speaker 1: after mocking the president, after mocking me and telling the
Speaker 1: world are he's irresponsible. I was talking about asymptomatic people
Speaker 1: walk around and infectious with this virus in January, and
Speaker 1: it's all up on Hannity dot com. Now they're saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: hydroxy clerk when they now acknowledge that it may help people.
Speaker 1: Malaria drug helps virus patients improve in study. New York Times.
Speaker 1: Oh there's great hope here, Governor of Michigan, you know,
Speaker 1: threatening doctors who prescribed the drug without administration action. Oh yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's showing great hope. Now you just listen to me first,
Speaker 1: and never listen to them. I think you'd be better off.
Speaker 1: They lie. It didn't. The i RS scandal in the
Speaker 1: NSA attrocities convince you. You need a watchdog on Washington
Speaker 1: with insider sources. You need Hannity every day all right
Speaker 1: twenty five to the top of the hour. All right,
Speaker 1: the President is daily Coronavirus Task Force briefing that the
Speaker 1: mob and the media is struggling with whether they should
Speaker 1: even carry that's how much they hate the President in
Speaker 1: the middle of a national emergency. But we will cover
Speaker 1: it as we have bad. Listen very much, everybody, and
Speaker 1: I want to start by saying that our hearts go
Speaker 1: out to the people of New York as they bear
Speaker 1: the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic in America. That seems
Speaker 1: to be the hot spot right now, but you have
Speaker 1: some others, as you know, that are very very bad,
Speaker 1: very bad. Louisiana is getting hit very hard. Parts of
Speaker 1: Michigan are getting hit very very hard. New Jersey is
Speaker 1: surprisingly it's much greater than anybody would have thought. They're
Speaker 1: doing a really good job. Governor is doing a really
Speaker 1: good job out there. New York's first responders, EMTs, doctors,
Speaker 1: nurses are showing incredible courage under pressure. They're the best
Speaker 1: in the world. We will take every action and will
Speaker 1: spare no resource, financial, medical, scientific, We will not spare anything. Well,
Speaker 1: get it back into shape. The Empire state. The Governor's
Speaker 1: doing an excellent job. They're all working very hard together
Speaker 1: at the request of the governors. You know, the Javits Center,
Speaker 1: we have two thousand and five hundred beds, and we're
Speaker 1: going to allow that to be a system where this
Speaker 1: horrible disease can be looked after, the patients can be
Speaker 1: looked after. That was going to be for regular medical
Speaker 1: problems such as accidents, and you know, it's very interesting.
Speaker 1: The governors tell me, we don't have too many accidents
Speaker 1: and very few people driving. So we're going to put
Speaker 1: that facility into play, which is a big facility. The
Speaker 1: ship will be staying the way it is, but we're
Speaker 1: putting that facility into play to help them. And today
Speaker 1: also the CDC is announcing additional steps Americans can take
Speaker 1: to defend against the transmission of the virus. From recent studies,
Speaker 1: we know that the transmission from individuals without symptoms is
Speaker 1: playing a more significant role in the spread of the
Speaker 1: virus than previously understood. So you don't seem to have
Speaker 1: symptoms and it still gets transferred. In light of these studies,
Speaker 1: the CDC is advising the use of non medical cloth
Speaker 1: phase covering as an additional voluntary public health measures. So
Speaker 1: it's voluntary. You don't have to do it. They suggested
Speaker 1: for a period of time. But this is voluntary. I
Speaker 1: don't think I'm going to be doing it. But you
Speaker 1: have a lot of ways you can look at it.
Speaker 1: As follows, the CDC is recommending that Americans wear a
Speaker 1: basic cloth or a fabric mask. They can be either
Speaker 1: purchased online or simply made at home, probably material that
Speaker 1: you'd have at home. These face coverings can be easily
Speaker 1: washed or used. I want to emphasize that the CDC
Speaker 1: is not recommending the use of medical grade or surgical
Speaker 1: grade masks, and we want that to be used for
Speaker 1: our great medical people that are working so hard and
Speaker 1: doing some job. Medical protective gear must be reserved for
Speaker 1: the frontline healthcare workers who are performing those vital services.
Speaker 1: The new mask guidelines also do not replace CDC's guidance
Speaker 1: on social distancing, including staying in your home when possible,
Speaker 1: standing at least six feet apart for a period of time. Again,
Speaker 1: we're going to all come back together here. We're going
Speaker 1: to all come back together and practicing hand hygiene, which
Speaker 1: we should do anyway. A lot of things I think
Speaker 1: are going to spill out or shaking hands. Maybe we'll
Speaker 1: stay with our country for a long time beyond this.
Speaker 1: One one of our great doctors was telling me that,
Speaker 1: as you know, we have flus every year and the
Speaker 1: number of people killed by the flu is very substantial.
Speaker 1: Said that if they didn't shake hands, that number would
Speaker 1: be substantially lower. So maybe it'll stay. Maybe some of
Speaker 1: these things long term will be good. But those guidelines
Speaker 1: are still the best and the safest way to avoid
Speaker 1: the infection. So with the masks, it's going to be
Speaker 1: really a voluntary thing. You can do it. You don't
Speaker 1: have to do it. I'm choosing not to do it,
Speaker 1: but some people may want to do it, and that's okay.
Speaker 1: It may be good. Probably will. They're making a recommendation.
Speaker 1: It's only a recommendations. Voluntary. Were also take an action
Speaker 1: to ensure the cost of no bearer to any Americans
Speaker 1: seeking testing or treatment of the coronavirus. The largest insure nationwide,
Speaker 1: the Blue Cross Blue Shield System, has now announced that
Speaker 1: it will not require any co pays, which is really
Speaker 1: something that's a tremendous statement from patients of the virus
Speaker 1: treatment for the next sixty days. Similar to the commitments
Speaker 1: of signa Yumana, Anthem. Those are great companies and they're
Speaker 1: all doing the same thing, so CO pays for them
Speaker 1: to do. That is speak statement. We appreciate it. Today
Speaker 1: I can so proudly announce that hospitals and healthcare providers
Speaker 1: treating unertured corona virus patients will be reimbursed by the
Speaker 1: federal government using funds from the Economic Relief Package Congress
Speaker 1: past last month. So that was as per the question
Speaker 1: yesterday and actually the day before yesterday. They should alleviate
Speaker 1: any concern undertured Americans may have about seeking the coronavirus treatment.
Speaker 1: So I think answers the question pretty well and very
Speaker 1: much in the favor of our great people. I'm also
Speaker 1: signing a directive invoking the Defense Production Act to prohibit
Speaker 1: export of scarce health and medical supplies by unscrupulous actors
Speaker 1: and profiteers the Security and Secretary. The Secretary of Homeland
Speaker 1: Security will work with FEMA to prevent the export of
Speaker 1: N ninety five respiratory surgical mass loves and other personal
Speaker 1: protective equipment. We need these items immediately for domestic use.
Speaker 1: We have to have them. But we've done really well
Speaker 1: with the purchase of items and you'll be hearing about
Speaker 1: that shortly. We've already leveraged the DPA to stop the
Speaker 1: hoarding and price gouging of crucial supplies. Under that authority,
Speaker 1: this week, the Department of Health and Human Services, working
Speaker 1: with the Department of Justice, took custody of nearly two
Speaker 1: hundred thousand and ninety five respirators, one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: thousand surgical masks, six hundred thousand gloves, as well as bottles, many, many,
Speaker 1: many bottles, and disinfectant sprays that we're being hoarded. All
Speaker 1: of this material is now being given to healthcare workers.
Speaker 1: Most of it's already been given out, and we've given
Speaker 1: a lot to New York, a lot to New Jersey,
Speaker 1: a lot to other places. In addition to ensure that
Speaker 1: healthcare workers in New York have the protective equipment they need,
Speaker 1: the federal government, in the name of the Department of Defense,
Speaker 1: is providing about eight point one million in ninety five
Speaker 1: respirators Department of Defense, and we've already given two hundred
Speaker 1: thousand of them to New York City. Mary de Blasio
Speaker 1: needed them very badly, so we got them to Mary
Speaker 1: de Blasio in New York City. They were very grateful
Speaker 1: eight point one million, and we're going to be increasing
Speaker 1: that number from eight point one million to more. That's
Speaker 1: a lot of n ninety five respirators. Today, my team
Speaker 1: spoke with the CEO of Oschner Health and the CEO
Speaker 1: of LCMC, the two largest health systems in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: They said they feel that they currently have enough ventilators.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are going to have
Speaker 1: enough ventilators and masks and appreciate what we did and
Speaker 1: all of the things we've been doing with them working
Speaker 1: with them. The CEO of Oshner Warner Thomas, who's really
Speaker 1: been fantastic, I have to say, indicated a need for
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty thousand surgical gowns and instructed FEMA
Speaker 1: to deliver them tomorrow, so they'll have the two hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty thousand. That's Louisiana, New Orleans, two hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty thousand surgical gowns. They'll have them by tomorrow. We're
Speaker 1: expanding the role of the armed forces in our response
Speaker 1: effort because no one is better prepared to win a
Speaker 1: war than the United States military, and we are in
Speaker 1: a war the invisible enemy. Remember over nine thousand retired
Speaker 1: Army medical personnel have answered their nation's call and are
Speaker 1: now supporting field hospitals and medical facilities all across the country.
Speaker 1: Like what I just told you that Governor Cuomo requested
Speaker 1: we do something and Javits where we take it over
Speaker 1: and we're going to have that manned by the military
Speaker 1: because it's very tough to get people more people in
Speaker 1: the New York area, so we're going to have it
Speaker 1: manned by the military. Javits Center. National Guard members have
Speaker 1: been activated to help states build new treatment centers and
Speaker 1: assist in the seamless distribution of medical supplies. That includes
Speaker 1: National Guard. The National Guard is assisting very strongly because
Speaker 1: the states were in many cases unable to have the
Speaker 1: delivery capability from warehouses and other places that we put
Speaker 1: the supplies. So I've given approval to use the National
Speaker 1: Guards of various National Guards in the different states, and
Speaker 1: they're doing a fantastic job of not only protecting people,
Speaker 1: but delivering material. The Army Corps of Engineers has assessed
Speaker 1: more than one hundred facilities in all fifty states and
Speaker 1: is rapidly building temporary hospitals and alternative care sites in
Speaker 1: many states. In New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois,
Speaker 1: New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, Ohio. They're doing a lot
Speaker 1: of work and just those states plus additionals that are
Speaker 1: being will be announced probably tomorrow. But they're doing some job.
Speaker 1: The Army Corps of Engineers, what a job they're doing.
Speaker 1: And FEMA, what a job they're doing. As we employ
Speaker 1: the power of our military, we're also deploying the skill
Speaker 1: of our doctors, scientists, and medical researchers. We continue to
Speaker 1: study the effectiveness of hydroxy chloroquin and other therapies and
Speaker 1: the treatment and prevention of the virus, and we will
Speaker 1: keep the American people fully informed in our findings. Hydroxy chloroquin.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's looking like it's having some good results.
Speaker 1: I hope that that would be a phenomenal thing. But
Speaker 1: we have it right now in approximately now, it's increased
Speaker 1: to one thousand and five hundred people. I spoke with
Speaker 1: doctor Zucker and New York terrific guy. By the way,
Speaker 1: we're doing a good job. And I spoke to Governor
Speaker 1: Cuomo last evening and this morning about it. So it's
Speaker 1: been there for about three and a half days. But
Speaker 1: I think and with many other places, it's being tested
Speaker 1: to and we have a tremendous supply of it. We've
Speaker 1: ordered it in the case that it works, and it
Speaker 1: could have some pretty big impacts. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: My administration is also working to get relief to American
Speaker 1: workers and businesses. In day one of the Paycheck Protection Program,
Speaker 1: as Kevin said, more than three point five billion dollars
Speaker 1: in guaranteed loans have been processed to help small businesses
Speaker 1: keep their workers employed during the unprecedented time this unprecedented time,
Speaker 1: and Bank of America has been incredible. Of the big banks,
Speaker 1: Bank of America has really stepped forward and done a
Speaker 1: great job. And then you have the community banks, you
Speaker 1: smaller banks, and we're already at three point five billion
Speaker 1: dollars going out to incredible people. But that's way ahead
Speaker 1: of schedule. The SBA and the Treasury are working around
Speaker 1: the clock, and our banking partners are really incredible and
Speaker 1: they're ensuring that the money gets to small businesses as
Speaker 1: quickly as possible, and then the small business in turn
Speaker 1: take care of employees that they would have had to
Speaker 1: let go, and now they'll keep them and that's good.
Speaker 1: And then they're gonna open for business and they're gonna
Speaker 1: have their employees, and we'll try and get back to
Speaker 1: where we were. Eventually, we're going to supersede where we were.
Speaker 1: The energy industry has been especially hard hit in the crisis.
Speaker 1: This afternoon, I met with Greg Garland of Phillips sixty six,
Speaker 1: Dave Hager of Devon Energy, Harold Ham of Continental Resources,
Speaker 1: Jeff hilda Brand of Hill Corp Energy, Vicky Hollub of
Speaker 1: Occidental Petroleum, Mike Summers of the American Petroleum Institute, Kelsey
Speaker 1: Warren of Energy Transfer Partners, Mike Worth of Chevron, and
Speaker 1: Darren Woods of ex On Mobile. I informed them that
Speaker 1: we will be making space available in the Strategic Petroleum
Speaker 1: Reserve to let American producers store sirplus oil that can
Speaker 1: be sold at a later time. There's a tremendous abundance
Speaker 1: of oil, primarily because of the virus. The virus has
Speaker 1: just stopped demand of everything, including oil. So we're working
Speaker 1: with our great energy companies. These a great companies. They
Speaker 1: employ tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people, and
Speaker 1: they've kept America really going for a long time, and
Speaker 1: no big price hikes, no big anything. I mean, they've
Speaker 1: just kept it going. And now they got hit. But
Speaker 1: with all the jobs and all of the good that
Speaker 1: they do, we're going to make sure that they stay
Speaker 1: in good shape. America is engaged in a historic battle
Speaker 1: to safeguard the lives of our citizens, our future society.
Speaker 1: Our greatest weapon is the discipline and determination of every
Speaker 1: citizen to stay at home and stay healthy for a
Speaker 1: long time. And we want them to stay healthy for
Speaker 1: a long time. So stay at home. This is ending.
Speaker 1: This will end. You'll see some bad things and then
Speaker 1: you're going to see some really good things. And it's
Speaker 1: not going to be too long. We will heal our citizens,
Speaker 1: and we will care for our neighbors, and we will
Speaker 1: unleash the full might of the United States of America
Speaker 1: to vanquish the virus. And with that, I'd like to
Speaker 1: ask Mike Pence to come up, Vice President, say a
Speaker 1: few words, and we'll have a couple of other quick
Speaker 1: talks on a couple of subjects, and we'll take questions.
Speaker 1: And it's a beautiful Friday in Washington, DC, and our
Speaker 1: country's a great place and We're getting better. We're getting
Speaker 1: better very quickly. This was artificially induced. We just said
Speaker 1: they said close it down, and you have to close
Speaker 1: it down. We close it down and we're healing. We're
Speaker 1: going to get it better fast. So Mike, if you
Speaker 1: could come up, say a few words. Thank you, mister president.
Speaker 1: President just outlined a number of the decisions that he
Speaker 1: made today on the unanimous recommendation of the White House
Speaker 1: Coronavirus ask Force. In addition to some good news, doctor
Speaker 1: Deborah Burkes will reflect on a moment in some of
Speaker 1: the areas across America where we see evidence that the
Speaker 1: mitigation efforts the American people putting into practice the President's
Speaker 1: coronavirus guidelines are having a positive effect. In fact, today
Speaker 1: California and Washington State, where the coronavirus first emerged in
Speaker 1: our country, remain the cases remain at a steady but
Speaker 1: low rate, and we know, as Governor Newsom said yesterday,
Speaker 1: that they're not out of the woods yet. We continue
Speaker 1: to flow resources. But we want to commend people in
Speaker 1: those states and all across the country we're putting into
Speaker 1: practice the social distancing and all the measures that state
Speaker 1: and local leaders are advising and and that the President
Speaker 1: has been advising in the coronavirus guidelines for America. We're
Speaker 1: also continuing to track significant and outbreaks in New York State,
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Detroit, Chicago, and Boston, and as a President indicated,
Speaker 1: we're prioritizing resources to support healthcare workers and to support
Speaker 1: those that are dealing with the coronavirus in those communities.
Speaker 1: On the subject of testing, now more than one point
Speaker 1: four million tests have been performed across the country and
Speaker 1: as you all are a where some two hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty six thousand Americans have tested positive for the corona virus.
Speaker 1: Abbot instruments, which now can perform a fifteen minute test
Speaker 1: across the country have literally eighteen thousand of their machines
Speaker 1: across the nation today, but at the President's direction, FEMA
Speaker 1: is acquiring over twelve hundred more machines to distribute to
Speaker 1: every state public health lab in America and also to
Speaker 1: our Indian Healthcare Service. And the big news, of course
Speaker 1: over the last few days was at the FDA once
Speaker 1: again in near record time, as approved an antibody, a
Speaker 1: test developed by Selects. And we're continuing on the White
Speaker 1: House Coronavirus Task Force to examine ways that we can
Speaker 1: scale up uh these rapid tests and these innovative new tests,
Speaker 1: not just to meet this moment, but to lay a
Speaker 1: foundation for testing across the nation in the months ahead.
Speaker 1: As President mentioned, he met with energy executives today and
Speaker 1: continues to engage with leaders of businesses all across the nation.
Speaker 1: We also held a teleconference today with commercial retailers on
Speaker 1: the President's behalf. We thanked them for the way that
Speaker 1: people that operate malls and shopping centers around the country
Speaker 1: have have have embraced and enacted the coronavirus guidelines for America.
Speaker 1: It's had enormous impact on their businesses and their industries.
Speaker 1: But I heard I heard from them their patriotic commitment,
Speaker 1: but the health of their associates and their customers first,
Speaker 1: and it was deeply inspiring. On the subject of supplies,
Speaker 1: the President detailed our work in that space. It continues
Speaker 1: to this day. Part of our air bridge. We had
Speaker 1: a flight arrived from China today to Columbus, Ohio. We
Speaker 1: continue to work each and every day watching the data
Speaker 1: about cases to ensure that in particular, not just the
Speaker 1: personal protective equipment is available for the healthcare workers that
Speaker 1: are on the front lines, but also that ventilators are
Speaker 1: available as this epidemic makes its way through regions and communities.
Speaker 1: We are literally working hour by hour, day by day
Speaker 1: to make sure that patients, families, and healthcare providers have
Speaker 1: the equipment and the support that they need. As the
Speaker 1: President mentioned, we've seen over a billion and a half
Speaker 1: dollars and loans go out through the paycheck Protection Program. Today,
Speaker 1: we have available for questions the head of the CDC
Speaker 1: today to speak about the new guidance on cloth face coverings,
Speaker 1: and Secretary Azar in a few moments will explain just
Speaker 1: how the President's decision to make sure that no American
Speaker 1: will ever have to worry about paying for testing or
Speaker 1: for coronavirus treatment. I'm pleased to report that's President's direction,
Speaker 1: Medicaid and medicare all the
