00:41.440 --> 00:43.329
thank you very much . Thank you .

00:47.740 --> 00:51.540
Thank you . This is a holy

00:51.540 --> 00:54.720
week when religious believers across

00:54.720 --> 00:57.180
the nation will observe Passover . Good

00:57.180 --> 00:59.770
Friday and Easter . Millions of Jewish

00:59.770 --> 01:02.910
families begin Passover at sundown

01:02.910 --> 01:05.250
tonight , a sacred , unbroken tradition

01:05.250 --> 01:08.730
that traces back to the ancient land of

01:08.730 --> 01:11.710
Egypt . And on Sunday , we celebrate

01:11.710 --> 01:13.654
our beautiful , wonderful Easter ,

01:14.100 --> 01:17.330
which we all look forward to . We would

01:17.330 --> 01:20.370
have many Easter's together in churches

01:21.130 --> 01:23.790
in the future . We're getting closer .

01:23.790 --> 01:25.790
You see the numbers , we're getting

01:25.790 --> 01:27.957
much closer , getting our country back

01:27.957 --> 01:31.890
to the way it was . We have now on

01:31.890 --> 01:34.160
extra two countries that have been

01:34.160 --> 01:37.580
attacked 1 84 being attacked as we

01:37.580 --> 01:41.390
speak . But we'll win some

01:41.390 --> 01:43.334
point . We're gonna all when we're

01:43.334 --> 01:45.668
going to do it sooner than people think .

01:45.668 --> 01:49.130
Earlier today , I spoke with 10,000 of

01:49.140 --> 01:52.160
America's faith leaders to thank them

01:52.160 --> 01:54.271
for raising the spirits of our people

01:54.271 --> 01:56.820
during these very difficult days , Well ,

01:56.820 --> 02:00.610
we may be physically apart . We can

02:00.610 --> 02:02.777
use this time to pray , to reflect and

02:02.777 --> 02:04.888
to focus on our personal relationship

02:04.888 --> 02:07.860
with God . I also spoke with more than

02:07.860 --> 02:10.580
3000 mayors , county commissioners and

02:10.780 --> 02:12.947
state and tribal leaders to provide an

02:12.947 --> 02:16.450
update on our administration's ongoing

02:16.450 --> 02:20.210
drive to beat the virus to crush the

02:20.210 --> 02:22.321
virus . And that's happening . That's

02:22.321 --> 02:24.430
happening . I think if you look a

02:24.440 --> 02:26.440
little bit more quickly than people

02:26.440 --> 02:28.607
thought , maybe a lot more quickly , I

02:28.607 --> 02:32.400
hope . And , uh , it's something that

02:32.500 --> 02:34.667
all over the world were watching . But

02:34.667 --> 02:36.833
people are watching us and seeing what

02:36.833 --> 02:39.000
we're doing in the very impressed with

02:39.000 --> 02:41.000
dealing with many countries , right

02:41.000 --> 02:43.167
down many , many countries , and we're

02:43.167 --> 02:45.570
giving them whatever information we

02:45.570 --> 02:49.160
were able to glean . Uh , I just spoke

02:49.160 --> 02:52.550
with the representatives of the U . K .

02:52.550 --> 02:55.600
And I think that the great prime

02:55.600 --> 02:57.711
minister is doing much better today ,

02:57.711 --> 03:00.230
or at least better , But certainly he's

03:00.230 --> 03:02.610
had a tough about and he's still going

03:02.610 --> 03:04.777
through a tough time . But he seems to

03:04.777 --> 03:06.999
be doing better , and that's good . And

03:06.999 --> 03:10.990
we we said our regards to Boris

03:10.990 --> 03:13.700
and his family and his friends , all of

03:13.810 --> 03:16.080
the people that really love him . He's

03:17.040 --> 03:18.929
become a very popular before this

03:18.929 --> 03:21.096
happened , became a very popular prime

03:21.096 --> 03:23.262
minister , is doing an excellent job .

03:23.262 --> 03:25.373
He loves their country , He loves our

03:25.373 --> 03:27.484
country . So we appreciate everything

03:27.484 --> 03:29.707
he's done , and hopefully he's gonna be

03:29.707 --> 03:32.510
okay . Uh , speaking of great people

03:32.510 --> 03:34.621
and people that have done a fantastic

03:34.621 --> 03:36.677
job , I have Secretary of State Mike

03:36.677 --> 03:39.000
Pompeo with us , and I'd like to ask

03:39.000 --> 03:41.450
Mike to say a few words . And then I

03:41.450 --> 03:43.950
think what we'll do in order to get him

03:43.950 --> 03:46.117
back to the State Department will take

03:46.117 --> 03:49.320
some questions and will , uh , then go

03:49.320 --> 03:51.431
on with the rest of what I'm going to

03:51.431 --> 03:53.487
say . Then we'll take some questions

03:53.487 --> 03:55.542
after that , and then Vice President

03:55.542 --> 03:57.764
Pence will take over . So Mike Pompeo ,

03:57.764 --> 04:00.550
please . Thank you , Mr President .

04:01.040 --> 04:03.151
Under the president's leadership , my

04:03.151 --> 04:05.318
team at the State Department are doing

04:05.318 --> 04:07.540
our part to protect the American people

04:07.540 --> 04:09.651
from the virus and , importantly , to

04:09.651 --> 04:11.707
get them home . You know , when many

04:11.707 --> 04:13.873
countries shut down their rail lines ,

04:13.873 --> 04:13.740
that bus is their infrastructure

04:13.740 --> 04:15.907
systems that capacity get out of those

04:15.907 --> 04:17.962
countries . They were trapped . They

04:17.962 --> 04:17.610
were stranded in State Department .

04:17.610 --> 04:20.540
Swung into action Since January 29th we

04:20.540 --> 04:23.430
have now repatriated over 50,000 United

04:23.430 --> 04:26.520
States citizens back to their homes for

04:26.520 --> 04:29.520
more than 90 countries , more than 490

04:29.520 --> 04:31.687
flights back to the United States from

04:31.687 --> 04:33.740
all across the world . This this

04:33.740 --> 04:36.070
worldwide scale of our repatriation

04:36.070 --> 04:38.014
efforts is without parallel in our

04:38.014 --> 04:40.100
lifetime . We are coordinating with

04:40.100 --> 04:42.044
foreign governments , militaries ,

04:42.130 --> 04:44.241
airport authorities , medical units ,

04:44.241 --> 04:46.463
transportation companies , hotels , you

04:46.463 --> 04:48.519
name it . We're working with them to

04:48.519 --> 04:48.390
make sure the American people get back

04:48.720 --> 04:50.942
to be with their families . You can see

04:50.942 --> 04:53.053
behind me the map of the flights that

04:53.053 --> 04:55.520
we have brought back people from all

04:55.520 --> 04:57.576
across the world . Every day I get a

04:57.576 --> 04:59.687
chance to hear some of the remarkable

04:59.687 --> 05:01.853
stories from our team . Give me just a

05:01.853 --> 05:04.131
couple of examples our mission in Peru ,

05:04.131 --> 05:06.298
working with the Peruvian military and

05:06.298 --> 05:08.520
police forces to send riverboats up the

05:08.520 --> 05:10.687
up the river to get citizens that were

05:10.687 --> 05:12.964
stranded deep inside the Amazon forest .

05:13.040 --> 05:15.340
Our mission in that Paul , make sure

05:15.340 --> 05:17.229
that woman who was running low on

05:17.229 --> 05:19.396
medication could get what she needed .

05:19.396 --> 05:21.507
A pharmacy before the before boarding

05:21.507 --> 05:21.360
an evacuation flight that brought her

05:21.360 --> 05:24.350
back here in Honduras . After the

05:24.350 --> 05:26.420
government opposed very strict 24 7

05:26.420 --> 05:28.310
curfew and closed airports , our

05:28.310 --> 05:30.532
embassy sprang into action for stranded

05:30.532 --> 05:32.770
Americans , thousands of them 30 boy

05:32.770 --> 05:34.937
told one of our consular officers just

05:34.937 --> 05:36.992
before he boarded flight . Thank you

05:36.992 --> 05:39.159
for helping me get back home to my dad

05:39.159 --> 05:41.214
pretty neat . We've received similar

05:41.214 --> 05:43.381
messages from lots of people . They're

05:43.381 --> 05:45.603
proud to know that the country will not

05:45.603 --> 05:45.260
leave them stranded . We're going to

05:45.260 --> 05:48.580
get back home . One woman wrote quote .

05:48.580 --> 05:50.524
I was in tears when I received the

05:50.524 --> 05:52.691
email approving our flight back to the

05:52.691 --> 05:54.747
United States . God bless the United

05:54.747 --> 05:56.913
States of America , and another said I

05:56.913 --> 05:58.802
felt like I had allies there that

05:58.802 --> 06:00.969
actually treated me like a person or a

06:00.969 --> 06:02.969
family member , not just a number .

06:02.969 --> 06:05.080
Their repatriation task force , State

06:05.080 --> 06:07.247
Department consular officers have done

06:07.247 --> 06:09.080
great work . I want to thank our

06:09.080 --> 06:11.247
partners in the department defense who

06:11.247 --> 06:13.413
have helped with some of these flights

06:13.413 --> 06:15.580
back home on other government agencies

06:15.580 --> 06:17.580
are sisters and brothers across the

06:17.580 --> 06:16.820
United States government in this

06:16.820 --> 06:18.820
administration that have helped get

06:18.820 --> 06:20.931
these people back . And then lastly ,

06:20.931 --> 06:23.042
aside from our repatriation efforts ,

06:23.042 --> 06:25.098
we continue to help countries around

06:25.098 --> 06:26.987
the world as well . We've got CDC

06:26.987 --> 06:29.153
officials helping these countries with

06:29.153 --> 06:31.376
expertise and all the things that these

06:31.376 --> 06:30.990
countries need to get their citizens

06:30.990 --> 06:33.046
safe and healthy and back so that we

06:33.046 --> 06:34.990
can get the economy all across the

06:34.990 --> 06:37.157
world . The global economy back on its

06:37.157 --> 06:39.268
feet when this crisis is over . Thank

06:39.268 --> 06:41.860
you , President . We'll see if anybody

06:41.860 --> 06:43.916
has any questions for a secretary of

06:43.916 --> 06:47.210
State . Anybody . Please , Mr .

06:47.210 --> 06:49.870
Secretary , that's amazing effort that

06:49.870 --> 06:51.926
you have made . How do you know when

06:51.926 --> 06:54.070
you're done ? Because I imagine are

06:54.070 --> 06:56.292
Americans on all corners of the world ,

06:56.292 --> 06:58.403
and you're always someone's gonna pop

06:58.403 --> 07:00.459
up and say , I want to go home now .

07:00.459 --> 07:02.681
It's great . It's a great question . We

07:02.681 --> 07:04.681
still have several 1000 people that

07:04.681 --> 07:06.903
were working . They identify themselves

07:06.903 --> 07:09.070
every day . New people find themselves

07:09.070 --> 07:11.181
in a difficult place . We're gonna be

07:11.181 --> 07:13.237
done when people can travel on their

07:13.237 --> 07:15.126
own again . These people traveled

07:15.126 --> 07:17.292
abroad on vacations or with the church

07:17.292 --> 07:19.292
on . We're intending to get back on

07:19.292 --> 07:18.510
their own . We hope that day comes

07:18.510 --> 07:20.566
pretty soon where they don't have to

07:20.566 --> 07:22.566
rely on the State Department to get

07:22.566 --> 07:24.677
them back home . But no this . In the

07:24.677 --> 07:26.566
meantime , we're devoting all the

07:26.566 --> 07:28.788
resource is . We have to get them there

07:28.788 --> 07:31.010
often in difficult places . They're not

07:31.010 --> 07:30.720
in the capital near the airport or the

07:30.730 --> 07:32.841
roads are closed . So it's not just a

07:32.841 --> 07:35.063
matter of getting a flight down there .

07:35.063 --> 07:37.119
There's a lot of work that has to be

07:37.119 --> 07:37.000
done to coordinate to make it all

07:37.000 --> 07:39.222
happen and get those people available .

07:39.222 --> 07:41.222
So they're sitting there . When the

07:41.222 --> 07:40.690
flight lands , they can get on the

07:40.690 --> 07:42.690
plane and then we can get them back

07:42.690 --> 07:44.690
home . We still have several 1000 .

07:44.690 --> 07:46.801
We're working on it . We chip away at

07:46.801 --> 07:46.780
that number every day . But new

07:46.780 --> 07:48.780
citizens go to the State Department

07:48.780 --> 07:51.002
website , identify themselves and say I

07:51.002 --> 07:53.058
need a little bit help in some way .

07:53.058 --> 07:55.280
When we do our best to get that to them

07:55.280 --> 07:57.502
just as quickly as we can . We're gonna

07:57.502 --> 07:59.502
keep it up . Is longest week . Have

07:59.502 --> 07:59.390
resource is to do it . And there is a

07:59.390 --> 08:03.330
need . Yes , sir . Thes staffers have

08:03.340 --> 08:05.451
tested positive for Corona virus That

08:05.451 --> 08:07.118
they protested are going into

08:07.118 --> 08:09.770
quarantine . And what does this do to

08:09.780 --> 08:12.002
diplomatic efforts overseas ? If you're

08:12.002 --> 08:14.350
pulling 50,000 people out of state

08:14.350 --> 08:16.650
capper national capitals , nation

08:16.650 --> 08:18.990
capitals . So the vast was your these

08:18.990 --> 08:21.460
50,000 warrant our officers . These

08:21.460 --> 08:23.571
were ordinary citizens who were there

08:23.660 --> 08:25.327
traveling for business or for

08:25.327 --> 08:27.216
commercial or for their trip of a

08:27.216 --> 08:29.327
lifetime . We've seen some of that on

08:29.327 --> 08:31.160
the cruise ships , but of course

08:31.160 --> 08:31.110
they're stranded all over the world .

08:31.110 --> 08:33.480
So our embassies save for the one that

08:33.480 --> 08:35.258
is in Wuhan , which we did pull

08:35.258 --> 08:37.091
everybody out of the rest of our

08:37.091 --> 08:39.091
facilities around the world are all

08:39.091 --> 08:41.313
open . We've had a handful of our folks

08:41.313 --> 08:43.536
now test positive , but we feel like we

08:43.536 --> 08:45.591
have a good handle on it , and we're

08:45.591 --> 08:47.647
doing everything we can to make sure

08:47.647 --> 08:47.520
that not just the State Department

08:47.520 --> 08:49.409
appears to support our department

08:49.409 --> 08:51.576
offense colleagues that are working on

08:51.576 --> 08:51.050
these missions as well . We're doing so

08:51.050 --> 08:53.217
in a way that reduces risk to them and

08:53.217 --> 08:55.700
their well being also , Yes , ma'am ,

08:57.290 --> 08:59.234
do you feel like China helped with

08:59.234 --> 09:01.234
helpful information from the United

09:01.234 --> 09:02.957
States ? And will there be any

09:02.957 --> 09:05.179
consequences for that ? This is not the

09:05.179 --> 09:08.040
time for retribution , but it is still

09:08.040 --> 09:11.310
the time for clarity and transparency .

09:11.630 --> 09:13.741
We're still working on this , problem

09:13.741 --> 09:15.797
said . There's still data that these

09:15.797 --> 09:17.686
good people need so that they can

09:17.686 --> 09:19.797
perform their analysis of out of both

09:19.797 --> 09:21.852
develop therapeutics and a vaccine ,

09:21.852 --> 09:24.074
and to understand where this virus is .

09:24.074 --> 09:26.297
So every country China included , every

09:26.297 --> 09:28.408
country needs to be transparent about

09:28.408 --> 09:30.574
what's gone on in their country . Made

09:30.574 --> 09:32.797
to share that data , we share ours with

09:32.797 --> 09:34.908
the world so that the best scientists

09:34.908 --> 09:33.900
in the world can get to the right

09:33.900 --> 09:36.060
conclusions and bring this economy .

09:36.060 --> 09:38.282
That's global economy back to the place

09:38.282 --> 09:40.449
that we all wanted to be as quickly as

09:40.449 --> 09:42.227
we can . Every country has that

09:42.227 --> 09:44.393
responsibility . It started in China ,

09:44.393 --> 09:44.180
and so they had that special

09:44.180 --> 09:46.291
responsibility . Get it right quickly

09:46.291 --> 09:48.513
and fast . Ask every country as we move

09:48.513 --> 09:50.736
forward in the days and weeks that make

09:50.736 --> 09:52.680
sure we share that . Do it , Do it

09:52.680 --> 09:54.902
right , Do it Well , when we do , we'll

09:54.902 --> 09:54.420
get this thing back up . They have

09:54.420 --> 09:56.476
shared their data sooner with United

09:56.476 --> 09:58.142
States . Every country has an

09:58.142 --> 10:00.198
obligation to share that information

10:00.198 --> 10:02.031
accurately , timely , completely

10:02.031 --> 10:04.198
transparently and thoroughly , just as

10:04.198 --> 10:04.080
quickly as they can gather it . We'll

10:04.080 --> 10:06.247
leave for another time to evaluate how

10:06.247 --> 10:07.524
everyone did in that .

10:10.710 --> 10:12.932
Thank you . Thank you , President Trump

10:12.932 --> 10:14.932
and Inside Secretary I question the

10:15.010 --> 10:16.732
World Health Organization as a

10:16.732 --> 10:19.280
fundraising drive for $700 million for

10:19.280 --> 10:21.447
Corona virus . Resource is , China has

10:21.447 --> 10:24.170
only donated 20 million . United States

10:24.170 --> 10:26.226
actually is donated less . So do you

10:26.226 --> 10:28.281
feel that trying to should be giving

10:28.281 --> 10:30.559
more to this World Health Organization ?

10:30.559 --> 10:32.670
Pretends Come , it's on us donation .

10:32.670 --> 10:36.280
Wait a tous point . We're re

10:36.280 --> 10:38.880
evaluating our funding with respect to

10:38.880 --> 10:41.400
the World Health Organization . This is

10:41.400 --> 10:43.344
very consistent . What ? President

10:43.344 --> 10:45.456
Trump said since the beginning of his

10:45.456 --> 10:47.622
campaign organizations have toe work .

10:47.622 --> 10:49.733
They have to deliver the outcomes for

10:49.733 --> 10:51.844
which they were intended and way need

10:51.844 --> 10:53.900
to make sure that not only the World

10:53.900 --> 10:55.678
Health Organization , but every

10:55.678 --> 10:57.900
international organization that we take

10:57.900 --> 11:00.067
taxpayer money and give it to them for

11:00.067 --> 11:02.067
the benefit of America . We need to

11:02.067 --> 11:04.011
make sure it's delivering on those

11:04.011 --> 11:03.650
taxpayer dollars . The World Health

11:03.650 --> 11:05.706
Organization is no different in that

11:05.706 --> 11:07.706
respect . We have to execute on the

11:07.706 --> 11:09.539
mission that they're designed to

11:09.539 --> 11:11.650
achieve . And we've seen with respect

11:11.650 --> 11:13.770
to the World Health Organization here

11:13.770 --> 11:16.340
we are way . It hasn't accomplished

11:16.340 --> 11:18.229
what it was intended to deliver .

11:20.140 --> 11:22.307
Mr . Secretary , you said head full of

11:22.307 --> 11:24.540
staffers have tested positive . Are

11:24.540 --> 11:27.170
they gonna get hydroxy Clark ? When is

11:27.170 --> 11:28.948
that gonna be made available to

11:28.948 --> 11:31.250
personnel overseas ? I don't know the

11:31.250 --> 11:35.230
answer to that , but know

11:35.230 --> 11:37.230
that we'll deliver the best medical

11:37.230 --> 11:39.230
care every place we can't . Some of

11:39.230 --> 11:38.890
them are in difficult places where

11:38.890 --> 11:40.890
there's not a lot of medical help .

11:40.890 --> 11:42.723
We've done our best to move that

11:42.723 --> 11:44.834
medical assistance forward to them in

11:44.834 --> 11:47.280
the field . Jeff . Mr . Secretary .

11:47.350 --> 11:49.350
Right here . Can you give us enough

11:49.350 --> 11:51.350
data on numbers you're seeing about

11:51.350 --> 11:53.690
Waters cases in Iran and whether or not

11:53.700 --> 11:55.990
you have any updates states helping

11:56.000 --> 11:59.290
them with respect to our assistance to

11:59.290 --> 12:01.560
run . We've offered from the first day

12:01.560 --> 12:03.800
we knew that the virus had struck the

12:03.810 --> 12:05.366
people of Iran . We offered

12:05.366 --> 12:07.588
humanitarian assistance . I regret that

12:07.588 --> 12:09.810
they they chose not to take that . I've

12:09.810 --> 12:11.866
heard people talking about sanctions

12:11.866 --> 12:13.921
there . No , the world should know .

12:13.921 --> 12:15.921
There are no sanctions that prevent

12:15.921 --> 12:17.810
humanitarian assistance , medical

12:17.810 --> 12:19.921
supplies , pharmaceuticals from going

12:19.921 --> 12:19.600
to Iran . We offered American

12:19.600 --> 12:21.767
assistance . We've tried to help other

12:21.767 --> 12:23.822
countries get assistance in there as

12:23.822 --> 12:25.878
well Had some ability to do that . I

12:25.878 --> 12:27.933
don't have any better data than what

12:27.933 --> 12:30.156
you've seen publicly that I could share

12:30.156 --> 12:29.720
with you , Inspector . The extent of

12:29.720 --> 12:33.550
the virus inside of Iran Secretary ,

12:33.820 --> 12:35.490
are you allowing sports ?

12:38.410 --> 12:40.521
So you've seen We're making sure that

12:40.521 --> 12:42.632
we have what we need for the American

12:42.632 --> 12:44.743
people . Whether that's gloves , I'll

12:44.743 --> 12:46.910
let the vice president talk to numbers

12:46.910 --> 12:48.854
on that . But at this point , what

12:48.854 --> 12:50.966
we're doing in terms of assistance is

12:50.966 --> 12:53.132
providing what most of these countries

12:53.132 --> 12:55.299
need to learn , how to do surveillance

12:55.299 --> 12:54.840
themselves , to learn how to conduct

12:54.840 --> 12:57.007
tests themselves , to learn the things

12:57.007 --> 12:58.896
that can reduce the peak in their

12:58.896 --> 13:01.062
countries . Those kind of things . And

13:01.062 --> 13:03.396
we've been doing this , you should know .

13:03.396 --> 13:02.620
The United States has been incredibly

13:02.620 --> 13:04.731
generous . We have CDC officials like

13:04.731 --> 13:06.731
no other country in the world , out

13:06.731 --> 13:08.842
helping these nations build out their

13:08.842 --> 13:11.009
health care , global epidemic , health

13:11.009 --> 13:12.898
care , infrastructure . It's good

13:12.898 --> 13:15.120
people like that , you see , sitting to

13:15.120 --> 13:14.200
my right . They've been working on this

13:14.210 --> 13:16.432
all their life , all around the world ,

13:16.432 --> 13:18.377
putting these countries in a place

13:18.377 --> 13:20.377
where they're better prepared for a

13:20.377 --> 13:24.010
virus like this , one of any U . S .

13:24.010 --> 13:26.232
Diplomats . So U S officials contracted

13:27.090 --> 13:29.480
virus as they tried to rescue us

13:29.480 --> 13:31.813
citizens abroad . Not that I'm aware of .

13:32.860 --> 13:34.860
Not that I'm aware , but there's no

13:34.860 --> 13:36.860
doubt . I remember when we sent our

13:36.860 --> 13:39.150
team to get our officials and about 800

13:39.150 --> 13:41.039
American citizens , nongovernment

13:41.039 --> 13:43.206
citizens that were living in Milan . I

13:43.206 --> 13:45.372
remember when we sent one of our first

13:45.372 --> 13:47.594
repatriation flights in there . We were

13:47.594 --> 13:49.317
very careful . We sent trained

13:49.317 --> 13:48.870
professionals in , but they were going

13:48.870 --> 13:50.870
into a very , very difficult , very

13:50.870 --> 13:53.037
fraught place . We were blessed . They

13:53.037 --> 13:54.814
all got back with no one having

13:54.814 --> 13:57.037
contracted the virus on that trip , I'm

13:57.037 --> 13:59.203
not aware of any of our officials that

13:59.203 --> 14:01.426
have Uh huh had the virus attacked them

14:01.426 --> 14:03.259
while they were performing their

14:03.259 --> 14:05.481
functions , trying to get people back .

14:05.481 --> 14:05.240
And we have a number of State

14:05.240 --> 14:07.407
Department officials who have who have

14:07.407 --> 14:09.462
Cove in 19 now and are working their

14:09.462 --> 14:11.684
way through . In fact , we've had three

14:11.684 --> 14:13.740
fatalities of local employees not US

14:13.740 --> 14:15.740
direct hires , but local people who

14:15.740 --> 14:17.851
were working for the State Department

14:17.851 --> 14:17.830
in embassies around the world . We've

14:17.830 --> 14:19.497
had three fatalities so far ,

14:23.230 --> 14:25.730
so there's been some calls on the World

14:25.730 --> 14:27.786
Health Organization for a leadership

14:27.786 --> 14:29.952
change . There was wondering what your

14:29.952 --> 14:31.952
thoughts are on that Senator Martha

14:31.952 --> 14:34.063
McSally , for example , is called for

14:34.063 --> 14:37.530
Doctor Pedros to resign . I don't want

14:37.530 --> 14:40.610
to look . This is not the time to be

14:40.620 --> 14:44.550
Toby doing that kind of change . There

14:44.550 --> 14:46.717
will be a lot of time to look back and

14:46.717 --> 14:48.828
see how the World Health Organization

14:48.828 --> 14:50.883
performed in the meantime , what our

14:50.883 --> 14:52.883
task is to preserve and protect the

14:52.883 --> 14:54.939
American taxpayers to make sure that

14:54.939 --> 14:56.994
our resource is . Don't go to places

14:56.994 --> 14:56.470
that aren't going to deliver on behalf

14:56.470 --> 14:58.581
of the American people in the world .

14:58.581 --> 15:00.248
And President Trump and I are

15:00.248 --> 15:01.970
determined to do that . Okay ,

15:04.330 --> 15:07.670
Just a quick bop . You said

15:08.440 --> 15:10.551
the channel had the responsibility to

15:10.551 --> 15:12.551
get correct figures . How would you

15:12.940 --> 15:15.051
broadly characterized cooperates with

15:15.051 --> 15:17.162
China right now with lots of places .

15:17.162 --> 15:19.218
We've been cooperating right there ,

15:19.218 --> 15:21.440
providing us assistance where we needed

15:21.440 --> 15:23.384
their places on the ground . Now ,

15:23.384 --> 15:25.551
where we do have access to the data we

15:25.551 --> 15:27.551
need on , we're deeply appreciative

15:27.551 --> 15:29.607
that they said they wanted corporate

15:29.607 --> 15:31.718
were completely prepared to cooperate

15:31.718 --> 15:33.607
with him . That cooperation means

15:33.607 --> 15:35.551
sharing data , being transparent ,

15:35.551 --> 15:37.773
being upfront , allowing information to

15:37.773 --> 15:39.940
flow freely . That's our expectation .

15:39.940 --> 15:41.773
Not not just of China , of every

15:41.773 --> 15:43.884
country that is in this place today .

15:43.884 --> 15:46.107
We collectively we have to work our way

15:46.107 --> 15:48.107
through this . And to do that , you

15:48.107 --> 15:50.273
have to have really good data . Okay ,

15:50.273 --> 15:52.218
Great . Thank you , Mr President .

15:52.218 --> 15:54.496
Thank you all . Thank you , Mr . Ready .

15:54.496 --> 15:57.880
Thanks . Okay . Thank you . For just a

15:57.880 --> 16:00.650
few days , we've delivered nearly 11

16:00.650 --> 16:03.390
million and 95 masks to hot spots

16:03.390 --> 16:05.334
around the country . As you know ,

16:05.334 --> 16:08.630
including 6.6 million to New York and

16:08.670 --> 16:11.650
New Jersey , 1.8 million to Chicago ,

16:11.650 --> 16:15.350
1.7 million to Detroit in 837,000

16:15.830 --> 16:17.719
to New Orleans . I spoke with the

16:17.719 --> 16:19.997
governor of Louisiana little while ago ,

16:19.997 --> 16:22.290
and they're doing , uh , really pretty

16:22.290 --> 16:24.457
well , much better than they thought .

16:24.650 --> 16:26.706
They'll be using fewer beds . As you

16:26.706 --> 16:28.650
know , we built a hospital . We're

16:28.650 --> 16:30.928
about set to complete another hospital ,

16:30.928 --> 16:32.928
and it is even a possibility . They

16:32.928 --> 16:34.928
won't . They won't need it . That's

16:34.928 --> 16:37.090
what we discussed . To date , we've

16:37.100 --> 16:40.900
shipped out more than 8000 ventilators

16:40.900 --> 16:43.690
and we have 10,000 almost 10,000

16:43.690 --> 16:45.912
sitting there , ready to go , should we

16:45.912 --> 16:48.630
need them . And an additional 2200

16:49.020 --> 16:51.800
newly manufactured ventilators come

16:51.800 --> 16:53.689
online on Monday , we're gonna be

16:53.689 --> 16:55.856
sending them to various locations just

16:55.856 --> 16:57.411
in case they need them . My

16:57.411 --> 16:59.633
administration is working with Phillips

16:59.633 --> 17:01.300
to double their production of

17:01.300 --> 17:03.480
ventilators by May and ultimately

17:03.480 --> 17:06.090
quadruple production by later this year .

17:06.090 --> 17:08.430
High quality ventilators . We're

17:08.430 --> 17:10.720
eliminating bureaucratic barriers to

17:10.720 --> 17:13.010
pave the way for Phillips major

17:13.010 --> 17:15.280
investments in American manufacturing

17:15.280 --> 17:18.740
sites and sales . This will help to

17:18.740 --> 17:21.110
ensure that our country can permanently

17:21.110 --> 17:22.999
produce enough ventilators in the

17:22.999 --> 17:25.350
future that we can do him by ourselves ,

17:25.350 --> 17:27.572
We're gonna have a big stockpile wood ,

17:27.572 --> 17:29.517
we're finished and we expect to be

17:29.517 --> 17:31.683
sending quite a few to other countries

17:31.683 --> 17:33.906
to help them after we're finished . And

17:33.906 --> 17:36.140
even now we're a couple of countries

17:36.140 --> 17:39.190
air really , really in dire need . And

17:39.190 --> 17:41.134
it looks like our projections were

17:41.134 --> 17:43.510
right on ventilators and some states

17:43.510 --> 17:45.454
that were thinking that would need

17:45.454 --> 17:47.454
thousands of more than they thought

17:47.454 --> 17:49.580
Well , now already taken care of ,

17:50.290 --> 17:53.370
which were very happy about . In

17:53.370 --> 17:55.970
addition , beginning in May will be

17:56.480 --> 17:59.950
receiving almost 300

17:59.950 --> 18:03.890
million new face masks .

18:04.540 --> 18:07.230
We're gonna have masks of about 300

18:07.230 --> 18:09.230
million . They'll be starting to be

18:09.230 --> 18:11.400
delivered in May and during the month

18:11.400 --> 18:13.289
of June . So we're ordering a big

18:13.289 --> 18:15.233
stockpile and we're thinking about

18:15.233 --> 18:17.400
doing an extra 200 million . Should we

18:17.400 --> 18:19.178
need them or for the or for the

18:19.178 --> 18:21.289
stockpile ? So we'll be in a position

18:21.289 --> 18:23.511
to have something incredible is that it

18:23.511 --> 18:25.680
will be a total of 500 million masks .

18:26.320 --> 18:29.090
And today , 750,000 new protective

18:29.090 --> 18:32.090
gowns landed in Dallas , Texas , as a

18:32.090 --> 18:34.034
result of a partnership led by the

18:34.034 --> 18:36.257
federal government , DuPont and FedEx .

18:36.640 --> 18:38.640
And that's been a great partnership

18:38.640 --> 18:40.696
that's worked very well . So we have

18:40.696 --> 18:43.030
600 . We have 750,000 new protective

18:43.030 --> 18:45.540
gowns , and these air the high level ,

18:45.540 --> 18:47.910
very high quality . As American

18:47.910 --> 18:49.910
industry steps up to help , so are

18:49.910 --> 18:52.021
America's doctors and scientists . 10

18:52.021 --> 18:55.160
drugs are now in clinical trials , and

18:55.160 --> 18:56.730
my administration is taking

18:56.740 --> 18:59.970
unprecedented actions , too . Make new

18:59.970 --> 19:01.914
therapies and treatments available

19:01.914 --> 19:04.900
without delay . The the doctors , the

19:04.900 --> 19:08.060
lab technicians , the company's spoke

19:08.060 --> 19:10.116
to him yesterday spoke again . Today

19:10.800 --> 19:13.078
they're coming up with things that are ,

19:13.078 --> 19:14.967
I think I hope , in the very near

19:14.967 --> 19:17.200
future gonna be very , very special ,

19:17.200 --> 19:20.010
very important . Our national stockpile

19:20.010 --> 19:23.630
is now equipped with nearly 30 million

19:23.630 --> 19:26.850
hydroxy Laura Quinn pills .

19:27.420 --> 19:29.476
So we're up to about 30 million were

19:29.476 --> 19:31.531
distributed by the millions you read

19:31.531 --> 19:34.600
about state representative Karen Wit

19:34.600 --> 19:37.240
set who I very much appreciate . We're

19:37.240 --> 19:40.520
going public . But she was , I think ,

19:40.520 --> 19:43.190
very , very much helped by this bill .

19:43.330 --> 19:45.663
She saw what I was saying on television .

19:46.240 --> 19:48.462
She thought she was in very bad shape .

19:48.462 --> 19:50.629
I don't want to go further than that ,

19:50.629 --> 19:52.684
but you see her story . You know her

19:52.684 --> 19:54.851
story . She's a highly respected state

19:54.851 --> 19:58.760
rep from Michigan , and she did a ,

19:58.770 --> 20:01.310
uh , she did it . I think she did a

20:01.310 --> 20:03.310
great service . What she what she's

20:03.310 --> 20:05.366
done ? She's in terrific shape . She

20:05.366 --> 20:07.840
looks fantastic . And she was very

20:07.840 --> 20:10.110
generous with her statements . In

20:10.110 --> 20:13.670
addition , uh , the zip through myson

20:13.670 --> 20:17.140
and zinc , they say zinc , you should

20:17.140 --> 20:19.830
add zinc . Now it's all has to be

20:19.830 --> 20:22.580
recommended by doctors physicians , but

20:22.580 --> 20:24.636
they say zinc . I want to throw that

20:24.636 --> 20:26.636
out there because that's where they

20:26.636 --> 20:29.410
seem to be having the best result . So

20:29.410 --> 20:32.810
you add zinc and the Xetra Myson .

20:33.930 --> 20:37.050
And , uh , it's been we've had a lot of

20:37.050 --> 20:39.220
good stories , a lot of good stories ,

20:39.220 --> 20:42.910
and we have almost 30 1,000,000

20:42.910 --> 20:45.210
doses . We've got a lot . I want to

20:45.210 --> 20:47.730
thank Prime Minister Modi of India for

20:47.730 --> 20:51.170
allowing us to have what we requested

20:51.180 --> 20:55.100
from before the problem arose and

20:55.110 --> 20:57.443
he was he was terrific will remember it .

20:57.690 --> 20:59.634
Later today , the CDC will release

20:59.634 --> 21:01.770
further guidance to help ensure

21:01.770 --> 21:03.770
critical infrastructure workers can

21:03.770 --> 21:06.340
perform their job safely after

21:06.340 --> 21:08.950
potential exposure to the virus , so

21:08.950 --> 21:11.690
they're working on that . The question

21:11.690 --> 21:13.857
was asked a little while ago about the

21:14.460 --> 21:18.130
the World Health Organization on

21:18.140 --> 21:20.980
and as you know , they made a statement

21:20.980 --> 21:23.970
on June , when , January 14th . I guess

21:23.970 --> 21:26.192
it was that there was no human to human

21:26.192 --> 21:28.192
transmission while there was . They

21:28.192 --> 21:30.192
probably made that statement in the

21:30.192 --> 21:32.192
second or third week of December in

21:32.192 --> 21:34.026
addition , but they made it very

21:34.026 --> 21:36.820
powerful e . On January 14th and they

21:36.830 --> 21:39.350
criticized me very strongly when I said

21:39.800 --> 21:41.911
that we're going to shut down flights

21:41.911 --> 21:44.450
coming in from China , especially from

21:44.450 --> 21:46.783
certain parts of China , but from China .

21:46.783 --> 21:48.783
Generally , we were criticized very

21:48.783 --> 21:52.320
badly . So last year and for many

21:52.320 --> 21:54.980
years hundreds of millions of dollars

21:54.980 --> 21:57.550
has been paid to the World Health

21:57.550 --> 21:59.880
Organization hundreds of millions of

21:59.880 --> 22:03.110
dollars a year , and last year was

22:03.120 --> 22:06.870
$452 million in China

22:06.870 --> 22:10.760
paid 42 million . Before that , it was

22:11.180 --> 22:14.950
500 million and China paid less than 40

22:14.950 --> 22:18.260
million . And before that it was

22:18.790 --> 22:22.210
similar numbers in the 403 hundreds and

22:22.210 --> 22:24.377
sometimes even in the five hundreds of

22:24.377 --> 22:27.180
millions of dollars . And China would

22:27.190 --> 22:30.440
do ah proportionately and just a small

22:30.440 --> 22:33.590
fraction of that number . And I think

22:33.590 --> 22:36.620
they have to get their priorities right

22:36.750 --> 22:38.972
and their priorities are that everybody

22:38.972 --> 22:40.806
has to be treated properly every

22:40.806 --> 22:43.480
country and it doesn't seem that way ,

22:43.480 --> 22:45.424
does it doesn't seem that way . So

22:45.424 --> 22:48.350
we're going to do study investigation

22:48.350 --> 22:50.572
and we're gonna make a determination as

22:50.572 --> 22:52.794
to what we're doing . In the meantime ,

22:52.794 --> 22:54.794
we're holding back . We're gonna We

22:54.794 --> 22:57.017
want to savory . Unfair . So the United

22:57.017 --> 23:00.620
States , $452 million compared to $42

23:00.620 --> 23:02.730
million . That's to the World Health

23:02.730 --> 23:06.180
Organization . That's not good . That's

23:06.180 --> 23:09.160
not good . Not fair , not fair at all .

23:10.040 --> 23:12.040
And other countries , as you know ,

23:12.040 --> 23:14.207
also gave very substantially less than

23:14.207 --> 23:18.140
the United States and the world . W

23:18.230 --> 23:21.120
h o World Health got it wrong . I mean ,

23:21.120 --> 23:23.342
they got it very wrong . In many ways ,

23:23.342 --> 23:26.420
they were wrong . They also minimize

23:26.420 --> 23:29.450
the threat very strongly and , uh ,

23:30.340 --> 23:32.160
not good . I want to take this

23:32.160 --> 23:34.430
opportunity to express the thanks Oven

23:34.430 --> 23:36.263
extremely grateful nation to the

23:36.263 --> 23:38.319
Americans who go to work every day ,

23:38.940 --> 23:41.162
especially in these critical industries

23:41.162 --> 23:43.690
in the midst of the pandemic , to care

23:43.690 --> 23:47.380
for and protect and feed American

23:47.380 --> 23:49.547
people , including medical personnel ,

23:49.547 --> 23:51.760
law enforcement , first responders ,

23:51.760 --> 23:54.930
food suppliers , sanitation workers and

23:54.930 --> 23:56.874
somebody mentioned any , would you

23:56.874 --> 23:59.060
please specifically call out cashiers

23:59.060 --> 24:01.700
and clerks at grocery stores who were

24:03.100 --> 24:06.310
in danger during the during the

24:06.400 --> 24:10.080
pandemic during the epidemic . They're

24:10.080 --> 24:12.080
in danger . They're really in great

24:12.080 --> 24:15.180
danger . And they've been incredible .

24:15.180 --> 24:16.958
And I want to call them out two

24:16.958 --> 24:19.080
cashiers and plucks . We grew up with

24:19.080 --> 24:21.900
gas years and parks and grocery stores ,

24:21.900 --> 24:23.844
and they've been great and they've

24:23.844 --> 24:25.900
really been true American heroes . I

24:25.900 --> 24:27.956
want to call him out because they're

24:27.956 --> 24:30.122
working hard and working in conditions

24:30.122 --> 24:32.344
that aren't ideal . But soon they'll be

24:32.344 --> 24:34.400
ideal again as we mourn the terrible

24:34.400 --> 24:37.910
loss of life for this and from this

24:37.920 --> 24:41.480
this grave pandemic we're seeing

24:41.480 --> 24:43.900
size at our aggressive strategy to slow .

24:43.900 --> 24:46.970
The spread is working . The number of

24:46.970 --> 24:49.510
new cases is stabilizing , the number

24:49.510 --> 24:52.270
of beds necessary and so many locations

24:52.270 --> 24:54.850
I was watching this morning . New York .

24:54.850 --> 24:56.794
I was watching Louisiana . You see

24:56.794 --> 24:58.683
what's going on , the numbers air

24:58.683 --> 25:00.850
changing and changing rapidly and soon

25:00.850 --> 25:03.380
will be over . That curve will be over

25:03.380 --> 25:05.324
the top and we'll be headed in the

25:05.324 --> 25:07.547
right direction . I feel strongly about

25:07.547 --> 25:10.370
that some terrible days ahead , but

25:10.380 --> 25:12.436
we're gonna have some some wonderful

25:12.436 --> 25:15.880
days ahead and we're going to get this

25:15.890 --> 25:18.500
behind us is terrible thing behind us .

25:18.510 --> 25:20.677
Some people never be able to forget if

25:20.677 --> 25:22.830
they had a loved one if they had a

25:23.240 --> 25:26.310
great friend of a friend , But we're

25:26.310 --> 25:28.254
gonna get it behind us . This is a

25:28.254 --> 25:30.910
tribute to the discipline and the

25:30.910 --> 25:33.077
devotion of the American people . What

25:33.077 --> 25:35.270
we've accomplished . If every American

25:35.270 --> 25:37.620
continues to strictly adhere to social

25:37.620 --> 25:40.290
distancing guidelines , we can defeat

25:40.300 --> 25:42.467
the invisible enemy and save countless

25:42.467 --> 25:44.467
lives that we could do it much more

25:44.467 --> 25:47.190
quickly . We're hopefully , uh ,

25:47.640 --> 25:49.696
heading toward a final stretch . The

25:49.696 --> 25:51.807
light at the end of the tunnel . As I

25:51.807 --> 25:53.918
was saying as we continue to wage all

25:53.918 --> 25:55.973
out medical ward to defeat the virus

25:55.973 --> 25:58.850
were also fighting an economic war to

25:58.850 --> 26:02.490
ensure we can quickly turned to full

26:02.640 --> 26:04.862
financial strength . We have to get our

26:04.862 --> 26:06.973
country back . We have to get going .

26:06.973 --> 26:09.690
Everybody wants to get going yesterday

26:09.690 --> 26:11.690
s Congress to provide an additional

26:11.690 --> 26:14.710
$250 billion to expand the incredibly

26:14.710 --> 26:17.300
successful paycheck protection program .

26:17.300 --> 26:19.522
You've seen what's gone on there . It's

26:19.522 --> 26:21.356
incredible , actually , which is

26:21.356 --> 26:23.467
allowing our small businesses to keep

26:23.467 --> 26:25.633
employees on the payroll and get ready

26:25.633 --> 26:27.744
for the opening like a second opening

26:28.290 --> 26:30.457
to protect millions of American jobs .

26:30.457 --> 26:32.623
I'm asking Congress to pass additional

26:32.623 --> 26:34.990
funding for this program this week as

26:34.990 --> 26:37.157
soon as possible . And I think we have

26:37.440 --> 26:39.273
a pretty good understanding with

26:39.273 --> 26:41.440
Democrats . Hopefully it's going to be

26:41.440 --> 26:44.110
bipartisan . We do not have time for

26:44.120 --> 26:46.176
the partisan games and we don't want

26:46.176 --> 26:48.620
that the obstruction . We're totally

26:48.620 --> 26:50.860
unrelated agendas . We want to do this

26:50.860 --> 26:52.693
for the small businesses and the

26:52.693 --> 26:55.200
workers and we could do a phase for the

26:55.200 --> 26:57.850
face . War will be later . This will be

26:57.850 --> 27:00.072
an expansion of what we've already done

27:00.072 --> 27:02.380
because it's so successful . The 350

27:02.380 --> 27:04.730
billion will be expanded by hopefully

27:04.730 --> 27:07.590
250 if you look at the kind of loans

27:07.590 --> 27:09.830
thousands , tens of thousands of loans

27:09.830 --> 27:12.360
to small businesses , it's a It's a

27:12.360 --> 27:14.471
great thing to see . It turned out to

27:14.471 --> 27:17.200
be more successful and more productive

27:17.200 --> 27:19.311
than anybody would have thought . But

27:19.311 --> 27:21.367
Democrats and Republicans are coming

27:21.367 --> 27:23.533
together to get that job done . That's

27:23.533 --> 27:26.490
a very important job in recent days and

27:26.500 --> 27:29.450
days ahead will restore America's

27:29.450 --> 27:32.040
health and economic might , but also

27:32.040 --> 27:34.800
dimensions of our national strength

27:34.800 --> 27:37.010
will be brought together , I think

27:37.010 --> 27:39.177
stronger than I think we have a chance

27:39.177 --> 27:41.399
to be stronger than ever before . We've

27:41.399 --> 27:43.860
learned a lot and we have tremendous

27:43.860 --> 27:46.120
stimulus now , tremendous stimulus and

27:46.120 --> 27:48.287
we're going for more . Hopefully we'll

27:48.287 --> 27:50.398
be doing an infrastructure bill so we

27:50.398 --> 27:52.564
can rebuild our roads and highways and

27:52.564 --> 27:54.509
bridges and tunnels and all of the

27:54.509 --> 27:56.676
things that we should be doing for our

27:56.676 --> 27:56.560
country . We're gonna rebuild our

27:56.560 --> 27:58.560
country , not other countries where

27:58.560 --> 28:00.810
they don't even appreciate it . As our

28:00.810 --> 28:03.600
citizens persevere through this

28:03.660 --> 28:05.910
President challenge , we're renewing

28:05.910 --> 28:08.860
American unity and we're replenishing

28:08.860 --> 28:10.971
American will . And we are witnessing

28:10.971 --> 28:13.480
new American valor each and every day .

28:13.480 --> 28:15.900
We see it every day , the daring and

28:15.900 --> 28:18.190
determination of our people . And this

28:18.190 --> 28:20.810
crisis reminds us that no matter how

28:20.810 --> 28:23.290
hard it gets , no matter what obstacles

28:23.290 --> 28:26.300
we must overcome , Americans will keep

28:26.300 --> 28:28.356
on fighting to victory . And we will

28:28.356 --> 28:31.250
secure the glorious future that our

28:31.250 --> 28:34.550
citizens so richly deserve , especially

28:34.550 --> 28:36.606
after going through this nightmare ,

28:36.840 --> 28:39.780
this evil beast . So we're getting very

28:39.780 --> 28:43.490
close , and , uh , hopefully it will .

28:43.960 --> 28:46.182
Hopefully it's on the other side and it

28:46.182 --> 28:48.620
will end soon , and I think it will .

28:48.630 --> 28:50.670
And I just think that the people of

28:50.680 --> 28:52.791
this country are fantastic . So we'll

28:52.791 --> 28:55.030
take a few questions and then vice

28:55.030 --> 28:57.030
president will take over . Please .

28:57.100 --> 28:59.322
Please . Thank you . President . ABC is

28:59.322 --> 29:01.211
reporting that you're intelligent

29:01.211 --> 29:03.156
Intelligence Committee was warning

29:03.156 --> 29:05.211
about the virus as early as November

29:05.211 --> 29:07.267
and produced a detailed report about

29:07.267 --> 29:09.322
the outbreak in China . When did you

29:09.322 --> 29:11.489
first learn about the intelligence and

29:11.489 --> 29:13.767
could you have acted on it then ? Well ,

29:13.767 --> 29:15.989
I learned when I started when I learned

29:15.989 --> 29:18.044
about the gravity of it was sometime

29:18.044 --> 29:20.100
just prior to closing the country to

29:20.100 --> 29:21.989
China . And when we closed up the

29:21.989 --> 29:23.822
flights coming in from China and

29:23.822 --> 29:25.878
various other elements and then , as

29:25.878 --> 29:27.989
you know , we closed up to Europe s ,

29:27.989 --> 29:30.156
so I don't know exactly , but I'd like

29:30.156 --> 29:32.267
to see the information . The police .

29:32.267 --> 29:34.156
Ah , lot of Americans want to see

29:34.156 --> 29:36.156
businesses reopened . So right more

29:36.156 --> 29:38.378
than anybody . So what specifically has

29:38.378 --> 29:40.433
to happen for you to feel that it is

29:40.433 --> 29:42.544
safe to reopen the country ? And what

29:42.544 --> 29:44.489
is your plan to do that ? Well , I

29:44.489 --> 29:46.656
think we can say that we have to be on

29:46.656 --> 29:48.822
the downside of that slope and heading

29:48.822 --> 29:50.878
to a very strong direction that this

29:50.878 --> 29:52.767
thing is gone . We could do it in

29:52.767 --> 29:54.711
phases . We could go to some areas

29:54.711 --> 29:54.600
which you know some here is a much less

29:54.600 --> 29:56.860
effective than others . But it would be

29:56.860 --> 29:59.860
nice Thio be ableto open with a big

29:59.860 --> 30:01.750
bang and open up our country or

30:01.750 --> 30:03.861
certainly most of our country . And I

30:03.861 --> 30:05.917
think we're gonna do that soon . You

30:05.917 --> 30:08.083
look at what's happening . I would say

30:08.083 --> 30:10.250
we're ahead of schedule now . You hate

30:10.250 --> 30:12.361
to say it too loudly because all of a

30:12.361 --> 30:14.306
sudden things don't happen . But I

30:14.306 --> 30:16.306
think we will be sooner rather than

30:16.306 --> 30:18.472
later . But we'll be sitting down with

30:18.472 --> 30:20.639
the professionals will be sitting down

30:20.639 --> 30:22.639
with many different people making a

30:22.639 --> 30:24.861
determination , and those meetings will

30:24.861 --> 30:27.083
start taking place fairly soon . So the

30:27.083 --> 30:29.306
health experts tell you it's safe to do

30:29.306 --> 30:31.417
it . Yeah , I would rely very heavily

30:31.417 --> 30:33.528
on them , you know , for monitoring ,

30:33.528 --> 30:35.694
testing that you're looking at . We're

30:35.694 --> 30:37.750
putting it . Yeah , we're putting in

30:37.750 --> 30:39.806
very heavy testing systems . We have

30:39.806 --> 30:41.972
the best testing systems . And again ,

30:41.972 --> 30:44.139
don't forget . When we look at cases ,

30:44.139 --> 30:43.630
I'm looking at some I'm not going to

30:43.630 --> 30:45.741
insult anybody . I'm not gonna result

30:45.741 --> 30:47.574
any country . But I'm looking at

30:47.574 --> 30:50.650
countries that are showing less cases

30:50.650 --> 30:52.490
than us . That's testing . We're

30:52.490 --> 30:54.601
testing more than anybody and use you

30:54.601 --> 30:57.080
so exponentially more than anybody by

30:57.080 --> 31:00.070
far , and our testing's become , I

31:00.070 --> 31:02.403
think it'll end up being a big strength .

31:02.403 --> 31:04.514
In fact , the other countries , other

31:04.514 --> 31:06.737
countries that the media talked about ,

31:06.737 --> 31:08.681
are now calling us for What are we

31:08.681 --> 31:10.514
doing and how are we doing it so

31:10.514 --> 31:12.570
quickly ? And where we getting these

31:12.570 --> 31:14.903
test scores are ? Tests are really good .

31:14.903 --> 31:14.840
Now . They've been proven to be very

31:14.840 --> 31:17.770
accurate . Uh , yes , please . Thank

31:17.770 --> 31:19.992
you , President Trump . Two questions .

31:20.010 --> 31:22.200
One on infrastructure Members of your

31:22.200 --> 31:24.311
administration of members of Congress

31:24.311 --> 31:26.644
have pointed out Top a federal employee .

31:26.644 --> 31:28.756
It's not the president , it's head of

31:28.756 --> 31:31.150
the Tennessee Valley Authority . And he

31:31.160 --> 31:33.310
made a $1,000,000 last year and some

31:33.310 --> 31:36.570
ridiculous . It's ridiculous . I think

31:36.570 --> 31:38.792
it's the highest paid government . Long

31:38.792 --> 31:40.959
before I got here , you said Tennessee

31:40.959 --> 31:43.130
Valley Authority . Uh , it has to be

31:43.130 --> 31:45.408
the highest paid man in any government ,

31:45.930 --> 31:49.250
makes approximately eight or $9 million .

31:49.260 --> 31:51.371
I don't know the gentleman , but he's

31:51.371 --> 31:53.427
got a heck of a job . He gets paid a

31:53.427 --> 31:55.482
lot of money . It's been there for a

31:55.482 --> 31:58.300
long while , has came in April , but

31:58.310 --> 32:00.477
previous . Let's separate there , that

32:00.477 --> 32:02.532
separate . But I'm talking about the

32:02.532 --> 32:04.699
way we just have some new people going

32:04.699 --> 32:07.032
on the board . I know , but as you know ,

32:07.032 --> 32:10.070
that's a quasi public agency ,

32:10.700 --> 32:13.220
and whoever the head of the agency is ,

32:13.220 --> 32:15.164
that person makes a lot of money ,

32:16.830 --> 32:19.052
which is an amazing thing , right , And

32:19.052 --> 32:21.052
when we want them to do something ,

32:21.052 --> 32:23.163
they're not there for us , that's not

32:23.163 --> 32:25.410
good . That's that same . Been there

32:25.410 --> 32:27.521
for a long time . That's been a story

32:27.521 --> 32:29.799
for a long time that you would support .

32:29.840 --> 32:31.840
Reducing that salary is part of the

32:31.840 --> 32:34.062
infrastructure built , reducing it by a

32:34.062 --> 32:38.040
lot . My other question is his job in

32:38.040 --> 32:39.984
the history of government , almost

32:39.984 --> 32:41.929
Certainly , if you're into money ,

32:42.130 --> 32:44.352
Tennessee Valley Authority it's right ,

32:44.352 --> 32:46.519
go ahead . So I'm waiting for somebody

32:46.519 --> 32:48.630
to ask me about that . It's been it's

32:48.630 --> 32:50.963
been bothering me for a long time to go .

32:50.963 --> 32:53.410
So one of the biggest rating hits of

32:53.590 --> 32:55.479
Corona viruses , aside from these

32:55.479 --> 32:57.534
briefings has been a show on Netflix

32:57.534 --> 33:00.540
called Tiger King and the man who's the

33:00.540 --> 33:02.540
star of this former zoo owner who's

33:02.540 --> 33:04.540
serving a 22 year prison sentence .

33:04.540 --> 33:06.762
He's asking you for a part in saying he

33:06.762 --> 33:08.651
was unfairly convicted . Your son

33:08.651 --> 33:10.930
yesterday jokingly said that he was

33:10.930 --> 33:12.986
going to advocate for it . And I was

33:12.986 --> 33:15.041
wondering if you've seen show and if

33:15.041 --> 33:17.041
you have any thoughts on supporting

33:17.041 --> 33:18.874
which son must be done , I had a

33:18.874 --> 33:22.520
feeling . Is that what he said ? I know

33:22.520 --> 33:24.742
nothing about his 22 years . For what ?

33:24.742 --> 33:26.576
What did he do ? Allegedly hired

33:26.576 --> 33:28.520
someone to murder an animal rights

33:28.520 --> 33:30.687
activists . But he said that he didn't

33:30.687 --> 33:32.742
do that . You think he didn't know ?

33:32.742 --> 33:34.409
Are you on his side ? You are

33:34.409 --> 33:37.000
recommending a pardon ? No , I'm not

33:37.030 --> 33:39.252
kidding A reporter . You're not allowed

33:39.252 --> 33:41.252
to do that . You'd be criticized by

33:41.252 --> 33:43.530
these . Would you recommend the pardon ?

33:43.530 --> 33:45.586
I'm not wearing it on time . I don't

33:45.586 --> 33:45.340
think you would . I don't think it

33:45.340 --> 33:47.618
would . Go ahead . You have a question ?

33:47.618 --> 33:49.896
I'll take a look . Is that your exotic ?

33:49.896 --> 33:53.040
That's jokes . Buyers can .

33:54.210 --> 33:56.580
Last week , your top experts were

33:56.580 --> 33:59.810
saying that we should expect 340,000

33:59.820 --> 34:01.876
deaths in this country . You've been

34:01.876 --> 34:03.987
talking about how it looks like Maybe

34:03.987 --> 34:06.042
things were plan telling . Are these

34:06.042 --> 34:08.209
numbers now being revised downward ? I

34:08.209 --> 34:10.153
know you don't want people to stop

34:10.153 --> 34:12.098
social distancing and that sort of

34:12.098 --> 34:14.264
thing , but what can you tell us about

34:14.264 --> 34:14.260
the numbers of it . Are you all right ?

34:14.270 --> 34:16.270
Yeah . My impression . Jim is those

34:16.270 --> 34:18.492
with the numbers that were set and they

34:18.492 --> 34:20.714
were set as an expectation from quite a

34:20.714 --> 34:22.770
while ago . I think we're just doing

34:22.770 --> 34:24.770
much better than those numbers . If

34:24.770 --> 34:26.937
either of you would like to talk about

34:26.937 --> 34:29.270
that fair question , we want to come up .

34:31.240 --> 34:35.050
Dr Yes . So I think

34:35.050 --> 34:37.217
all of you , many of you have done the

34:37.217 --> 34:39.217
analysis of the same models that we

34:39.217 --> 34:41.660
utilized on Dhe . If you do the models

34:41.660 --> 34:43.716
of the models , you end up with that

34:43.716 --> 34:47.450
range a TTE the same time we carefully

34:47.450 --> 34:51.020
looked at Italy and Spain and we're

34:51.020 --> 34:54.960
doing much better in many cases than

34:54.970 --> 34:56.970
several other countries . And we're

34:56.970 --> 34:59.026
trying to understand that we believe

34:59.026 --> 35:01.248
that our health care delivery system in

35:01.248 --> 35:02.748
the United States is quite

35:02.748 --> 35:04.914
extraordinary . I know many of you are

35:04.914 --> 35:07.081
watching the act now model and the I h

35:07.081 --> 35:09.100
m E model from , and they have

35:09.110 --> 35:12.590
consistently decreased the number the

35:12.590 --> 35:16.570
mortality from over almost 90,000 or 80 .

35:16.580 --> 35:19.600
86,000 down to 81,000 and now down to

35:19.600 --> 35:23.350
61,000 That is modeled on what America

35:23.360 --> 35:26.100
is doing . That's what's happening .

35:26.500 --> 35:29.900
And I think what has been so remarkable ,

35:29.900 --> 35:32.067
I think , to those of us who have been

35:32.067 --> 35:34.233
in the science fields for so long , is

35:34.233 --> 35:37.880
how important behavioral changes

35:38.430 --> 35:40.650
and how amazing Americans are in

35:40.650 --> 35:42.817
adapting Thio and following through on

35:42.817 --> 35:44.928
these behavioral changes . And that's

35:44.928 --> 35:47.150
what's changing the rate of new cases .

35:47.150 --> 35:48.983
And that's what we'll change the

35:48.983 --> 35:51.000
mortality going forward because now

35:51.000 --> 35:52.944
we're into the time period of full

35:52.944 --> 35:54.960
mitigation that should be reflected

35:55.420 --> 35:57.710
within the coming weeks of decreasing

35:57.710 --> 35:59.710
mortality . I mean , that's what we

35:59.710 --> 36:02.260
really hope to see . We are impressed

36:02.270 --> 36:04.326
by the American people , and I think

36:04.326 --> 36:06.900
models are models I've always worked on

36:06.900 --> 36:09.590
validating . I spent my life validating

36:09.590 --> 36:11.757
models all over the world , and that's

36:11.757 --> 36:13.812
why we do surveys and surveillance ,

36:13.812 --> 36:15.979
and we make sure that what we think is

36:15.979 --> 36:18.201
right is right . Um , I think this will

36:18.201 --> 36:20.312
change how people look at respiratory

36:20.312 --> 36:22.600
diseases because it will change what is

36:22.600 --> 36:25.600
possible when the globe , and

36:25.600 --> 36:27.870
particularly the American people , do

36:27.870 --> 36:30.040
this level of mitigation . And I think

36:30.240 --> 36:32.184
as I talked about yesterday , were

36:32.184 --> 36:36.160
still so we're still in off really

36:36.160 --> 36:38.500
of the American people . Strength in

36:38.500 --> 36:42.270
this and following through . Are you

36:42.290 --> 36:44.346
gonna do that ? I'm gonna ask Bob to

36:44.346 --> 36:46.512
come up just for a second . Director .

36:46.512 --> 36:48.540
I think that's it . We have , We've

36:48.820 --> 36:50.931
done . They have done . Everybody has

36:50.931 --> 36:53.220
done everybody great job . So those

36:53.220 --> 36:55.850
were original projections . And we

36:55.850 --> 36:57.683
don't want to say anything about

36:57.683 --> 36:59.906
beating , and yet , but I think we will

36:59.906 --> 36:59.650
have a very good chance to beat them .

36:59.650 --> 37:00.706
Very substantial .

37:03.650 --> 37:05.817
Thank you , Mr President . I just want

37:05.817 --> 37:07.983
to add to what Ambassador Burke said .

37:07.983 --> 37:10.094
I mean , this is a consequence of the

37:10.500 --> 37:12.950
commitment of the American people , and

37:12.950 --> 37:15.117
a lot of us have always had challenges

37:15.117 --> 37:17.690
changing behavior , whether if it's

37:17.690 --> 37:20.080
exercising regularly or different

37:20.080 --> 37:22.660
habits , was smoking when it when it

37:22.790 --> 37:24.790
when it affects us . What's been

37:24.790 --> 37:27.012
remarkable to watch here ? It's how the

37:27.012 --> 37:28.901
American public has changed their

37:28.901 --> 37:30.679
behavior when that protects the

37:30.679 --> 37:32.901
vulnerable . I think that's really what

37:32.990 --> 37:36.660
I'm so proud to see just a follow up on

37:36.840 --> 37:39.240
something yesterday on a quick yes or

37:39.240 --> 37:41.490
no question . But yesterday you said

37:41.500 --> 37:43.500
you had not seen Peter . Tomorrow's

37:43.500 --> 37:45.800
memo on Corona virus back in January .

37:46.870 --> 37:49.340
Were you ever reached on those members ?

37:49.340 --> 37:51.562
Did you ever discuss those numbers with

37:51.562 --> 37:53.729
anybody ? I don't remember that . I've

37:53.729 --> 37:56.200
now seen the memo . I saw it . It was

37:56.200 --> 37:58.311
Peter sends a lot of memos . I didn't

37:58.311 --> 38:00.478
see the memo . A CZ , you know , World

38:00.478 --> 38:02.644
Health was saying that was not correct

38:02.644 --> 38:04.589
because at the time they called it

38:04.589 --> 38:06.811
wrong . But I didn't see the memo , but

38:06.811 --> 38:08.700
I acted as quickly as people were

38:08.700 --> 38:10.756
shocked . And I acted so quickly and

38:10.756 --> 38:12.978
everybody thought I was wrong because I

38:12.978 --> 38:15.200
did act so quickly . As you know , with

38:15.200 --> 38:17.200
respect to closing the borders with

38:17.200 --> 38:19.256
respect not only to China , but with

38:19.256 --> 38:21.311
Europe . I close the borders , and I

38:21.311 --> 38:23.589
think that was very important . But no ,

38:23.589 --> 38:23.520
I didn't see the memo at the time , but

38:23.520 --> 38:25.440
I have seen it since helpless .

38:26.360 --> 38:29.740
Wait . A couple of this Booth Road

38:29.750 --> 38:32.190
House organization today warned against

38:32.200 --> 38:34.330
politicizing . I agree with him . He

38:34.330 --> 38:38.050
said that consequence of politicization

38:38.060 --> 38:40.227
could actually create more body bags .

38:40.227 --> 38:42.830
It's a pretty vivid image of what ?

38:43.280 --> 38:45.447
What do you believe the consequence of

38:45.447 --> 38:47.669
us pulling out its funding ? You know ,

38:47.669 --> 38:49.891
I think when you say more body bags , I

38:49.891 --> 38:52.560
think we would have done and he would

38:52.560 --> 38:54.730
have been much better serving the

38:54.740 --> 38:57.290
people that he's supposed to serve if

38:57.290 --> 38:59.012
they gave a correct analysis .

38:59.310 --> 39:02.320
Everything was . I said , China centric .

39:02.570 --> 39:05.900
Everything was gonna be fine . No human

39:05.900 --> 39:08.530
to human . Keep the borders open . He

39:08.530 --> 39:10.697
wanted me to keep the borders open . I

39:10.697 --> 39:12.752
closed the borders despite him , and

39:12.752 --> 39:14.974
that was a hard decision to make it the

39:14.974 --> 39:14.940
time we're all together . We made a

39:14.940 --> 39:17.460
decision against the World Health

39:17.460 --> 39:19.450
Organization . So when he says

39:19.450 --> 39:21.672
politicizing , he's politicizing . That

39:21.672 --> 39:24.670
shouldn't be . But look , we spend $450

39:24.670 --> 39:28.020
billion.452 billion dollars , almost

39:28.020 --> 39:31.010
500 billion last year , hundreds of

39:31.010 --> 39:34.830
billions in previous years . And , uh ,

39:35.690 --> 39:37.857
they got to do better than that . They

39:37.857 --> 39:40.023
got to do better . When you talk about

39:40.023 --> 39:42.246
politics , I can't believe he's talking

39:42.246 --> 39:44.023
about politics When look at the

39:44.023 --> 39:46.079
relationship they have to China . So

39:46.079 --> 39:48.860
China spends 42 million . We spend 450

39:48.860 --> 39:51.540
million , and everything seems to be

39:51.540 --> 39:53.651
China's way . That's not right . It's

39:53.651 --> 39:55.707
not fair to us . And honestly , it's

39:55.707 --> 39:57.929
not fair to the world . Okay , question

39:57.929 --> 39:59.762
in the back . Yeah , President .

39:59.762 --> 40:01.984
There's breaking news today a couple of

40:01.984 --> 40:04.207
reports from a couple different outlets

40:04.207 --> 40:06.429
that Jared Kushner's team is seeking to

40:06.429 --> 40:09.550
create a National Corona virus database .

40:09.550 --> 40:12.250
Such a tracking system for patients who

40:12.250 --> 40:14.510
have been dyed nosed Now . His

40:14.510 --> 40:17.290
spokesperson said that that's not true .

40:17.300 --> 40:19.760
I have never heard about it . Doesn't

40:19.760 --> 40:21.927
sound like a bad idea , actually , but

40:21.927 --> 40:24.093
I have not heard about you . Okay with

40:24.093 --> 40:26.260
that ? I don't know if I'd be okay . I

40:26.260 --> 40:28.260
have to see it , but it sounds very

40:28.260 --> 40:30.204
scientific , and it sounds like it

40:30.204 --> 40:32.316
could be good based on tracking , but

40:32.316 --> 40:34.482
it also has to do with rights and lots

40:34.482 --> 40:36.704
of different constitutional questions .

40:36.704 --> 40:38.871
I have not heard that at all . So some

40:38.871 --> 40:40.982
people are concerned it would be like

40:40.982 --> 40:42.871
the post 9 11 Patriot Act that it

40:42.871 --> 40:45.038
ultimately led to the FISA abuse . Are

40:45.038 --> 40:47.460
there any abuse of which I was the one

40:47.460 --> 40:49.700
abused and a couple of other people in

40:49.700 --> 40:51.811
all fairness ? Uh , no , I don't know

40:51.811 --> 40:54.089
anything about it . I haven't heard it .

40:54.089 --> 40:56.256
I mean , I'll speak to him . I don't I

40:56.256 --> 40:55.540
don't think so . They would have told

40:55.540 --> 40:57.720
me I would have known about it . Uh ,

40:57.730 --> 41:00.510
please , Mr . President , about a

41:00.520 --> 41:02.687
delegation is on happy because smaller

41:02.687 --> 41:06.130
casinos in businesses that make a

41:06.140 --> 41:08.520
profit into that from gaining in Nevada

41:09.660 --> 41:11.827
found out they're not eligible for the

41:11.827 --> 41:15.270
cares Act PPP money is this ?

41:15.520 --> 41:18.480
I talkto one . Remember who said You

41:18.480 --> 41:20.702
mean because of the number of employees

41:20.810 --> 41:23.032
because of the number of points in this

41:23.032 --> 41:25.199
world and they thought gaming would be

41:25.380 --> 41:27.436
would not be treated any differently

41:27.436 --> 41:29.547
than any other business with this , I

41:29.547 --> 41:31.713
could that I could Look , it's a great

41:31.713 --> 41:33.880
state , and I will take a look at that

41:33.880 --> 41:35.880
strongly . Are you talking only the

41:35.880 --> 41:37.991
smaller casinos that I'll take a look

41:37.991 --> 41:40.047
at that . Fine . I don't mind that ,

41:40.047 --> 41:42.047
please . Yeah , we'll take a look .

41:42.047 --> 41:44.158
Yeah , we haven't heard nobody saw me

41:44.158 --> 41:46.269
about it , but I'll look at it . They

41:46.269 --> 41:48.269
they , uh , great state . They do a

41:48.269 --> 41:50.269
great job . So I'm gonna look at it

41:50.269 --> 41:52.436
very strongly . I understand what they

41:52.436 --> 41:54.602
mean . Please , Mr . President , Terms

41:54.602 --> 41:56.491
of the economy . What if you urge

41:56.491 --> 41:58.658
Americans to go back to work , they'll

41:58.658 --> 41:58.560
listen to you . Would you leave that up

41:58.570 --> 42:00.760
to the governors ? To businesses , to

42:00.760 --> 42:03.560
citizens to decide when it's safe ?

42:03.560 --> 42:06.010
Thio , stop social distancing when you

42:06.010 --> 42:08.232
say they don't listen , I think they're

42:08.232 --> 42:10.343
gonna listen . They want to go back .

42:10.343 --> 42:12.621
Everybody wants their going stir crazy .

42:12.621 --> 42:14.788
They've been in those houses and those

42:14.788 --> 42:17.010
apartments and there . I mean , they've

42:17.010 --> 42:19.066
really been They've done a great job

42:19.066 --> 42:21.121
again . When you look , the question

42:21.121 --> 42:23.232
was , just ask about you know , about

42:23.232 --> 42:25.399
how we doing Compared to projections ,

42:25.399 --> 42:27.566
those were just original projections .

42:27.566 --> 42:29.621
The big projection being 2.2 million

42:29.621 --> 42:31.677
people would die if we did nothing .

42:31.677 --> 42:33.677
That was another decision . We made

42:33.677 --> 42:35.788
close it up . That was a big decision

42:35.788 --> 42:37.732
that we made two very smart people

42:37.732 --> 42:39.843
walked into my office and they said ,

42:39.843 --> 42:41.899
Listen , these are your alternatives

42:41.899 --> 42:43.954
and that was a projection of I guess

42:43.954 --> 42:46.980
1.5 to 2.2 million people died . We

42:46.980 --> 42:48.924
didn't close it up . It's a lot of

42:48.924 --> 42:51.220
people , so if we do a number that's

42:51.220 --> 42:53.510
tremendously smaller than that now , if

42:53.510 --> 42:55.732
we did close it up , the numbers got to

42:55.732 --> 42:59.610
102 220 million people . So if

42:59.610 --> 43:02.300
we can stay substantially under the 100

43:02.300 --> 43:05.120
which was the original projection , I

43:05.130 --> 43:07.640
think we all did a very good job , even

43:07.640 --> 43:10.380
though it's a lot of people say for

43:10.380 --> 43:13.430
them by me first . Well , right now , I

43:13.430 --> 43:15.652
mean , we're doing well in terms of the

43:15.652 --> 43:17.708
numbers I can't tell you in terms of

43:17.708 --> 43:19.874
the date . You know we don't want , we

43:19.874 --> 43:21.986
don't want to go down and then we can

43:21.986 --> 43:24.097
start going up if we're not careful .

43:24.097 --> 43:26.210
So we have to be careful as faras

43:26.470 --> 43:28.580
distancing , social distancing and

43:28.580 --> 43:30.747
other things . Certainly for a while ,

43:30.747 --> 43:32.858
you know , at some point that's going

43:32.858 --> 43:34.858
away , we'll be able to sit next to

43:34.858 --> 43:34.610
each other and like we have all our

43:34.610 --> 43:36.721
lives , is a very unique thing . This

43:36.870 --> 43:39.037
has not happened anything like this of

43:39.037 --> 43:42.810
this magnitude since 1917 1918 .

43:43.780 --> 43:46.150
The great pandemic that was That was

43:46.150 --> 43:48.980
something . But , um , you know , I

43:48.980 --> 43:51.120
people want to sit next to each other

43:51.120 --> 43:53.460
at restaurants . They wantto sit next

43:53.460 --> 43:55.682
to each other like normal at a football

43:55.682 --> 43:57.960
game . Baseball game , basketball game ,

43:57.960 --> 44:00.071
hockey game ? No , We want to go back

44:00.071 --> 44:02.700
to life now . The first period of time .

44:02.820 --> 44:04.987
Maybe we'll go a little bit slower and

44:04.987 --> 44:07.320
maybe we'll be talking about distancing .

44:07.490 --> 44:09.657
But at some point we expect to be back

44:10.020 --> 44:12.680
like it was before and hopefully it

44:12.680 --> 44:15.260
will never happen . Hopefully it will .

44:15.300 --> 44:17.356
If it does happen , it's gonna be in

44:17.356 --> 44:19.710
100 years from now . The last one

44:20.350 --> 44:23.150
1917 . That's something that's a long

44:23.150 --> 44:25.094
time ago , and that was that was a

44:25.094 --> 44:27.690
horrible thing . Jim , Go . Actually ,

44:28.010 --> 44:30.177
you were saying yesterday about people

44:30.177 --> 44:33.160
going to Wisconsin and voting in the

44:33.170 --> 44:35.570
middle of this pandemic , really

44:35.570 --> 44:37.681
putting their lives on the line . And

44:37.681 --> 44:39.681
you said , Well , if they do , that

44:39.681 --> 44:42.500
vote by mail perhaps will have voter

44:42.500 --> 44:44.500
fraud in this country . It's one of

44:44.500 --> 44:46.444
these voters in five states Utah ,

44:46.444 --> 44:48.389
Colorado , Hawaii , Washington and

44:48.389 --> 44:50.444
Oregon all vote by mail . Can you or

44:50.444 --> 44:52.556
the White House staff where you can't

44:52.556 --> 44:54.611
provide any evidence to back up your

44:54.611 --> 44:56.611
claim ? The mail in voting his wife

44:56.611 --> 44:58.667
with broad like the example you gave

44:58.667 --> 45:00.667
people working Room's filling out a

45:00.667 --> 45:02.722
false balance . What happened ? What

45:02.722 --> 45:04.389
happened to getting ? Is this

45:04.389 --> 45:06.278
administration fair ? Where's the

45:06.278 --> 45:08.389
evidence of the I think there's a lot

45:08.389 --> 45:10.500
of evidence but will provide you with

45:10.500 --> 45:12.611
some . Okay , and there's evidence is

45:12.611 --> 45:14.611
being compiled just like it's being

45:14.611 --> 45:16.722
compiled in the state of California ,

45:16.722 --> 45:18.944
where they settled with judicial . What

45:18.944 --> 45:21.056
saying that a 1,000,000 people should

45:21.056 --> 45:23.720
not have been voting and you saw that

45:23.730 --> 45:25.619
way . Excuse me ? Well , I'm just

45:25.619 --> 45:27.452
telling you , I'm telling you in

45:27.452 --> 45:29.397
California , in the great state of

45:29.397 --> 45:31.563
California . They settled and we could

45:31.563 --> 45:33.508
have gone a lot further . Judicial

45:33.508 --> 45:35.619
watch settled where they agree that a

45:35.619 --> 45:37.786
1,000,000 people should not have voted

45:37.786 --> 45:40.690
where they were 115 years old and lots

45:40.690 --> 45:42.690
of things and people were voting in

45:42.690 --> 45:45.560
their place . What I see And you know ,

45:45.560 --> 45:47.504
every one of those states that you

45:47.504 --> 45:49.727
mentioned is a state that happens to be

45:49.727 --> 45:52.840
one by the Democrats . And if you have

45:52.840 --> 45:55.530
a position like me where it's

45:56.090 --> 45:58.070
registered , you're here and we're

45:58.160 --> 46:00.170
voting someplace where I'm not I

46:00.170 --> 46:02.290
haven't left the White House and I

46:02.290 --> 46:04.420
guess months other than , you know ,

46:04.600 --> 46:06.433
ask the ship , you know , waving

46:06.433 --> 46:08.489
goodbye to New York . Which , by the

46:08.489 --> 46:10.433
way , is now going , as you know ,

46:10.433 --> 46:12.544
being used for the purpose that we're

46:12.544 --> 46:14.656
talking about , which a lot of people

46:14.656 --> 46:16.878
wanted . Wait a minute . Well , for the

46:16.878 --> 46:18.989
Republicans hasn't isn't your concern

46:18.989 --> 46:21.050
certainly hasn't . But if you're a

46:21.050 --> 46:23.161
senior citizen and if you're somebody

46:23.161 --> 46:25.390
that needs it , I'm all for it . But

46:25.400 --> 46:27.456
they have to be very careful because

46:27.456 --> 46:29.567
you know the things with bundling and

46:29.567 --> 46:31.622
all of the things that are happening

46:31.622 --> 46:33.950
with votes with by mail where thousands

46:33.950 --> 46:36.980
of votes are gathered , and I'm not

46:36.980 --> 46:39.147
going to say which party does it . But

46:39.147 --> 46:41.313
thousands of votes are gathered in the

46:41.313 --> 46:43.480
coming and they dumped in a location ,

46:43.480 --> 46:45.480
and then all of a sudden , you lose

46:45.480 --> 46:45.470
elections that you think you're gonna

46:45.470 --> 46:48.090
win . I won't stand for it . Well ,

46:48.090 --> 46:50.146
we're gonna find out about the proof

46:50.146 --> 46:52.090
because you're going to see what's

46:52.090 --> 46:54.201
going on , and I'm not going to stand

46:54.201 --> 46:56.312
for it . Our voting system . First of

46:56.312 --> 46:58.534
all , we should have voter , i d . When

46:58.534 --> 47:00.701
you vote , you should have voter i d .

47:00.960 --> 47:02.904
And if you send something in , you

47:02.904 --> 47:05.127
should be sure as as a state , and as a

47:05.127 --> 47:07.293
country , you should be sure that that

47:07.293 --> 47:09.600
vote is meaningful . And it's not just

47:09.610 --> 47:11.832
made fraudulently because there's a lot

47:11.832 --> 47:13.943
of fraudulent voting going on in this

47:13.943 --> 47:15.888
country . This country should have

47:15.888 --> 47:18.221
voter I d . Okay , let's do another one .

47:18.680 --> 47:19.070
Go

47:19.080 --> 47:23.700
way .

47:24.170 --> 47:26.170
These millions of doses hydroxy for

47:26.170 --> 47:28.392
Quinn that are being distributed across

47:28.392 --> 47:30.281
country through the E health data

47:30.281 --> 47:33.210
system house systematically , is your

47:33.220 --> 47:35.276
task force watching ? Well , I think

47:35.276 --> 47:36.887
it's very systematic . We're

47:36.887 --> 47:40.030
distributing the hydroxy all through

47:40.030 --> 47:43.880
the country . It's being distributed in

47:43.880 --> 47:45.936
large amounts . We have it coming in

47:45.936 --> 47:49.420
now . We were up to 29 million

47:49.420 --> 47:51.810
doses that we went to 30 million doses .

47:52.010 --> 47:54.232
But we have it coming in all throughout

47:54.232 --> 47:56.121
the country and much of its being

47:56.121 --> 47:58.121
distributed . In fact , it'll start

47:58.121 --> 47:59.843
going down what we have in our

47:59.843 --> 48:02.310
stockpile . And again it's had , you

48:02.310 --> 48:04.630
know , I hope it works again . I'm not

48:04.630 --> 48:06.741
a doctor . As you possibly have found

48:06.741 --> 48:08.686
out . I'm not a doctor , but I'm a

48:08.686 --> 48:10.741
person with common sense . And we've

48:10.741 --> 48:13.290
had some very good results over the

48:13.290 --> 48:15.290
course , including a woman who just

48:15.290 --> 48:19.030
reported it two days . Yes , I think

48:19.270 --> 48:21.103
we're looking . We're looking to

48:21.103 --> 48:23.270
provide it in many different ways . In

48:23.270 --> 48:25.548
many ways , we're in certain instances ,

48:25.548 --> 48:27.437
we've been asked , in the case of

48:27.437 --> 48:29.437
Michigan , we've been asked who the

48:29.437 --> 48:31.603
governor of Michigan would like to . I

48:31.603 --> 48:34.220
think she's become a big fan of it as a

48:34.220 --> 48:36.990
medication as a A something that's

48:36.990 --> 48:39.330
gonna help with this horrible virus .

48:39.860 --> 48:41.582
And we're delivering it to the

48:41.582 --> 48:43.804
governments of various states when they

48:43.804 --> 48:45.810
ask So certain states air asking

48:45.810 --> 48:47.810
Certain governments arrest skin and

48:47.810 --> 48:49.810
we're delivering it directly to the

48:49.810 --> 48:51.720
government . Yeah , place . Mr .

48:51.760 --> 48:54.010
President , we know many people around

48:54.010 --> 48:56.210
the world paid consultation to video

48:56.320 --> 48:59.110
conference . So behave for food . We're

48:59.110 --> 49:01.930
from you . Where you from ? For good

49:03.130 --> 49:05.550
behavior ? Off Foreign media group . I

49:05.560 --> 49:08.090
would like to ask you two questions .

49:08.440 --> 49:10.460
First question is that the French

49:10.470 --> 49:13.910
president home called , uh , Iranian

49:13.910 --> 49:17.160
President Rouhani and say the euro has

49:17.160 --> 49:21.120
started to shift medical goods to

49:21.130 --> 49:23.440
Iran , where you can see the medical

49:23.450 --> 49:26.370
bitch . Yes , that doesn't Yeah , So

49:26.380 --> 49:28.436
you see this ending medical goods to

49:28.436 --> 49:32.320
Iran , it doesn't bother me . Okay , so

49:32.320 --> 49:34.376
the other question is that were also

49:34.376 --> 49:36.153
paying attention to the U . S .

49:36.153 --> 49:39.270
Election . So we're also way . Know

49:39.280 --> 49:42.110
that Bernie Sanders has . She

49:43.190 --> 49:45.830
didn't really drop out . He didn't

49:45.830 --> 49:48.108
really know . What about his delegates ?

49:48.108 --> 49:50.330
I mean , he he said he's gonna keep his

49:50.330 --> 49:52.052
delegates and which is sort of

49:52.052 --> 49:52.050
interesting he's gonna keep his

49:52.050 --> 49:54.217
delegates that he'd like to get more .

49:54.720 --> 49:57.510
Now is he dropping out or not ? That's

49:57.510 --> 49:59.510
not dropping out when you keep your

49:59.510 --> 50:01.343
delegates and then you want more

50:01.343 --> 50:03.121
delegates before you get to the

50:03.121 --> 50:05.288
convention . That's a weird deal going

50:05.288 --> 50:07.850
on there . What's happened ? I don't

50:07.850 --> 50:09.628
know why President Obama hasn't

50:09.628 --> 50:12.290
supported Joe Biden a long time ago .

50:12.430 --> 50:14.541
There's something he feels is wrong .

50:14.820 --> 50:16.820
Why isn't he'll come out ? I'm sure

50:16.820 --> 50:18.764
he's got to come out at some point

50:18.764 --> 50:20.820
because he certainly doesn't want to

50:20.820 --> 50:23.153
see me for four more years were not way .

50:23.153 --> 50:25.209
Think a little bit differently . You

50:25.209 --> 50:27.209
know what ? I'll tell you . It does

50:27.209 --> 50:29.264
amaze me that President Obama hasn't

50:29.264 --> 50:31.800
supported sleepy Joe . It just hasn't

50:31.800 --> 50:34.180
happened once it gonna happen . When is

50:34.180 --> 50:36.236
it gonna happen ? Why isn't he knows

50:36.236 --> 50:39.100
something that you don't know , But I

50:39.100 --> 50:42.010
think I know , But you don't know , So

50:42.020 --> 50:44.353
it'll be interesting . But with burning ,

50:44.353 --> 50:46.900
I saw his , uh , standard fare today .

50:46.900 --> 50:49.400
I watched , and I hope that a lot of

50:49.400 --> 50:51.456
Bernie Sanders people just like they

50:51.456 --> 50:53.456
did last time . We got a tremendous

50:53.456 --> 50:56.360
percentage of burning people and I

50:56.360 --> 50:58.582
think they voted for me largely because

50:58.582 --> 51:00.693
of trade . Because Bernie and I agree

51:00.693 --> 51:02.880
on trade . We agree that the United

51:02.880 --> 51:05.102
States has been ripped off by virtually

51:05.102 --> 51:07.213
every country they do business with .

51:07.230 --> 51:09.452
The difference is I've done a lot about

51:09.452 --> 51:11.619
it , and I'm doing more about it , and

51:11.619 --> 51:14.010
we've made incredible trade deals

51:14.020 --> 51:16.187
including U . S . M . C . A . The deal

51:16.187 --> 51:18.409
with China , and then all of a sudden ,

51:18.409 --> 51:20.298
that gets disturbed by this virus

51:20.298 --> 51:22.242
situation . But China has to spend

51:22.242 --> 51:24.800
almost $250 billion on purchasing our

51:24.800 --> 51:27.690
products , 40 to $50 billion with our

51:27.690 --> 51:30.100
farmers and the Bernie Sanders people

51:30.100 --> 51:32.156
are big believers on what I'm saying

51:32.156 --> 51:34.670
when trade and I got a lot of them in

51:34.670 --> 51:36.614
the last election , that surprised

51:36.614 --> 51:38.948
people . But it didn't surprise me . No ,

51:38.948 --> 51:41.114
those are great people . They're great

51:41.114 --> 51:42.948
people . But I I just Look , I'm

51:42.948 --> 51:45.059
looking at Bernie Sanders . I watched

51:45.059 --> 51:47.226
this morning and I said , What is that

51:47.226 --> 51:49.170
all about ? Like you said that the

51:49.170 --> 51:51.281
delegates delegates , He's not giving

51:51.281 --> 51:53.337
up his delegates , He's keeping them

51:53.337 --> 51:55.559
and he said he wants to get more of him

51:55.559 --> 51:57.837
and I think he's doing it to negotiate ,

51:57.837 --> 51:59.892
I assume . But I don't know . That's

51:59.892 --> 52:02.003
that's a hard thing to do . Jeff go .

52:02.003 --> 52:04.003
Mr President . OPEC is meeting with

52:04.003 --> 52:06.226
Russia tomorrow from other countries to

52:06.226 --> 52:08.740
discuss oil prices . Yeah , oil prices

52:08.740 --> 52:11.730
are $23 0 that's good . Finally ,

52:11.730 --> 52:14.240
somebody . No , something with the

52:14.240 --> 52:16.407
escape question . What is your message

52:16.407 --> 52:18.850
to them ? Ahead of their meeting

52:18.860 --> 52:20.850
tomorrow will be us . Consider a

52:20.950 --> 52:23.250
coordinated cut production . I don't

52:23.250 --> 52:25.528
think Look , we already cut . You know ,

52:25.528 --> 52:27.639
we're , like , very market oriented .

52:27.639 --> 52:29.861
If you look at it Texas And if you look

52:29.861 --> 52:32.083
at it , North Dakota And if you look at

52:32.083 --> 52:34.139
some of our states that do this very

52:34.139 --> 52:36.250
well , they've already cut way back .

52:36.250 --> 52:38.528
You know , they cut back automatically ,

52:38.528 --> 52:40.750
but in the case of Russia , in the case

52:40.750 --> 52:40.370
of Saudi Arabia , they increased

52:40.370 --> 52:42.426
production at a time when you didn't

52:42.426 --> 52:44.592
need it . And then they got hit by the

52:44.592 --> 52:46.648
virus , which knocked out 40% of the

52:46.648 --> 52:48.759
market , and now they're flooded with

52:48.759 --> 52:50.981
oil . Look , I just say this . You have

52:50.981 --> 52:53.203
to countries that are getting hurt very

52:53.203 --> 52:55.370
badly . Russia's getting hurt . That's

52:55.370 --> 52:57.481
a primary source . And Saudi Arabia ,

52:57.481 --> 52:59.759
that's definitely their primary source .

52:59.759 --> 53:01.780
And it doesn't make sense that they

53:01.790 --> 53:04.068
flooded the market for whatever reason ,

53:04.068 --> 53:06.234
they did that for themselves . It's an

53:06.234 --> 53:08.440
argument that they had , and I think

53:08.440 --> 53:10.496
they'll straighten it out . A lot of

53:10.496 --> 53:12.551
progress has been made over the last

53:12.551 --> 53:14.718
week , and it'll be interesting to see

53:14.718 --> 53:16.829
what comes out of OPEC tomorrow . But

53:16.829 --> 53:19.051
OPEC obviously For many years I used to

53:19.051 --> 53:21.107
think OPEC was very unfair . I hated

53:21.107 --> 53:23.107
OPEC . You wanna know the truth ? I

53:23.107 --> 53:25.280
hated it because it was a fix . But

53:25.280 --> 53:27.360
somewhere along the line that broke

53:27.360 --> 53:30.640
down and it went the opposite way . And

53:30.640 --> 53:32.807
we have a tremendously powerful energy

53:32.807 --> 53:34.918
industry in this country now . Number

53:34.918 --> 53:36.918
one in the world . And I don't want

53:36.918 --> 53:39.140
those jobs being lost . Okay ? You just

53:39.140 --> 53:41.362
follow that . What would you do if they

53:41.362 --> 53:44.900
don't have a lot of options ? A lot of

53:44.900 --> 53:48.180
good options , Jeff Beauties . I might

53:48.180 --> 53:51.570
like it even more now . You want to go

53:51.570 --> 53:53.403
watch ? Let's see what happens .

53:53.403 --> 53:55.459
Hopefully , they could make a deal .

53:55.459 --> 53:58.790
Let's go . The president clearly go

53:58.800 --> 54:02.200
back to work , ruining me . Still very

54:02.210 --> 54:04.660
big number that are made cheap . Bottle

54:04.660 --> 54:06.882
specifically has been adjusted down the

54:06.882 --> 54:09.720
61,000 . When are we gonna open back up ?

54:09.730 --> 54:11.841
Can you give us a better date ? Is it

54:11.841 --> 54:14.008
gonna be April 30th ? May 1st You said

54:14.008 --> 54:16.080
adjusted . Back down . 61,000 . What

54:16.090 --> 54:18.950
was adjusted ? The I am that I am aging

54:18.950 --> 54:20.728
model . The one that originally

54:20.728 --> 54:22.839
predicted , Like between 100 and 10 .

54:23.700 --> 54:26.480
Still a big number , right ? 61 right .

54:26.490 --> 54:28.960
That's a big number . Go ahead . But

54:29.540 --> 54:31.707
can you give us a more specific date ?

54:31.707 --> 54:35.600
We'll be may 1st I had a date and I

54:35.600 --> 54:37.933
thought it was a very aspirational date .

54:38.450 --> 54:40.672
It's turning out to be very interesting

54:40.672 --> 54:42.506
because a lot of good things are

54:42.506 --> 54:44.740
happening by Easter . But I had a very

54:44.740 --> 54:47.510
aspirational date . I didn't think you

54:47.510 --> 54:49.621
could make it . I didn't say we would

54:49.621 --> 54:51.732
do it by Easter , but I said Wouldn't

54:51.732 --> 54:53.899
it be great to shoot for Easter ? That

54:53.899 --> 54:56.066
would be a great day . Beautiful day ,

54:56.066 --> 54:58.177
very important day to a lot of people

54:58.177 --> 55:00.177
like me and like some of you in the

55:00.177 --> 55:02.288
room , maybe all of you in the room ,

55:02.288 --> 55:04.010
frankly , but Easter is a very

55:04.010 --> 55:06.343
important day . So I had aspirational e .

55:06.343 --> 55:08.566
I said , Let's see if we could do it at

55:08.566 --> 55:10.788
Easter , you know ? But I said it would

55:10.788 --> 55:12.954
be very tough and I was criticized for

55:12.954 --> 55:15.066
that . So I don't like giving dates ,

55:15.066 --> 55:17.232
and that wasn't a date . That was just

55:17.232 --> 55:17.000
a natpe ihr ation . That would have

55:17.000 --> 55:19.000
been incredible . But I don't think

55:19.000 --> 55:21.056
we're gonna be very far behind . And

55:21.056 --> 55:23.167
some of these models are looking like

55:23.167 --> 55:25.167
Easter is gonna be a very important

55:25.167 --> 55:27.389
date anyway because of the current room

55:27.389 --> 55:29.556
is hitting the top , and it's starting

55:29.556 --> 55:31.778
to come down and one person said Easter

55:31.778 --> 55:34.000
is looking like a good time . So a good

55:34.000 --> 55:36.310
time for that for heading down , So

55:36.310 --> 55:38.532
we'll see what happens . Look , there's

55:38.532 --> 55:40.754
no reason to do that . We have a lot of

55:40.754 --> 55:42.977
good things happening . When I spoke to

55:42.977 --> 55:44.977
the governor of Louisiana Tech , he

55:44.977 --> 55:47.088
said , Tony , they need far less beds

55:47.088 --> 55:46.940
And then he said , Well , good ,

55:46.950 --> 55:48.783
because we're building 1000 room

55:48.783 --> 55:50.783
additional . We built them 1000 the

55:50.830 --> 55:52.830
beds and now we're building another

55:52.830 --> 55:54.941
1000 I said , Listen , is there a way

55:54.941 --> 55:57.052
that we don't build ? I don't want to

55:57.052 --> 55:59.108
build them If they don't need him in

55:59.108 --> 56:00.941
New York at the Javits isn't too

56:00.941 --> 56:03.420
heavily used . It's ready to go 2900

56:03.420 --> 56:06.480
beds . Plus , we now have the ship set

56:06.480 --> 56:08.536
for Cove it if they want to use it ,

56:08.536 --> 56:10.702
and we're using it for Governor Murphy

56:10.702 --> 56:12.647
and New Jersey , so we'll see what

56:12.647 --> 56:14.730
happens . But , uh , you know the

56:14.730 --> 56:17.920
numbers air coming way down Event .

56:17.920 --> 56:20.170
Laters . We're all set . We have a lot

56:20.170 --> 56:22.510
to go if we want , but we're not

56:22.510 --> 56:24.621
getting . I'm not getting calls where

56:24.621 --> 56:26.732
they need ventilators anymore . So we

56:26.732 --> 56:28.843
were right on those ventilators . I'd

56:28.843 --> 56:31.066
love to have additional ventilators for

56:31.066 --> 56:33.010
some of the countries that are our

56:33.010 --> 56:35.066
allies and our friends . And even if

56:35.066 --> 56:37.343
they're not our allies and our friends ,

56:37.343 --> 56:39.343
you're saving human lives . But I'd

56:39.343 --> 56:41.510
love to see if we had some were making

56:41.510 --> 56:43.510
a lot of ventilators . Right now we

56:43.510 --> 56:45.566
have . Ah , and they take a while to

56:45.566 --> 56:47.788
make , and they're very expensive . And

56:47.788 --> 56:51.410
avery , uh , complex to make . But I'd

56:51.410 --> 56:53.632
love to be able to help other countries

56:53.632 --> 56:55.960
once we're taking care of . But I just

56:55.960 --> 56:59.200
sent 100 ventilators to Colorado ,

57:00.030 --> 57:03.260
and that was , uh , great Senator .

57:03.260 --> 57:05.490
There was a terrific Senator Cory and

57:05.790 --> 57:08.010
Cory Gardner , and he called me last

57:08.010 --> 57:10.010
night . He said , Could you get 100

57:10.010 --> 57:12.177
ventilators for Colorado ? And we just

57:12.177 --> 57:14.177
sent him out , and they'll be there

57:14.177 --> 57:16.990
very shortly , so but it looks like

57:17.000 --> 57:19.000
we're in great shape . From the bed

57:19.000 --> 57:21.000
standpoint , it looks like we're in

57:21.000 --> 57:22.833
great shape from the event later

57:22.833 --> 57:24.722
standpoint . And you just heard I

57:24.722 --> 57:28.320
ordered 500 million masks .

57:28.330 --> 57:31.540
595 and others and surgical ,

57:32.230 --> 57:36.040
but we ordered 500 million mess 302 100

57:36.710 --> 57:38.988
and they're gonna be here very shortly .

57:39.130 --> 57:42.010
So we're really in great shape . And we

57:42.010 --> 57:44.470
started off with an empty cupboard . So

57:44.470 --> 57:46.680
I'm going to leave the vice president

57:46.680 --> 57:49.330
and his group to handle it , and I will

57:49.330 --> 57:51.274
see you probably tomorrow . Okay .

57:51.274 --> 57:52.780
Thank you . Thank you .

57:58.630 --> 57:59.630
Good .

58:04.290 --> 58:08.230
You'll come up if you want . Well ,

58:08.230 --> 58:10.230
good evening , everyone . On to our

58:10.230 --> 58:12.063
fellow Americans out west . Good

58:12.063 --> 58:13.063
afternoon .

58:18.920 --> 58:20.920
We find ourselves in the midst of a

58:20.920 --> 58:24.550
very tough week for Americans in

58:24.550 --> 58:26.900
areas most impacted by the Corona virus .

58:27.120 --> 58:29.064
New York City area in New Jersey ,

58:29.760 --> 58:33.290
Louisiana continue to focus re sources

58:33.300 --> 58:36.300
and attention on those areas . And I

58:36.300 --> 58:38.522
know that the hearts and prayers of the

58:38.522 --> 58:41.590
American people are with , uh , with

58:41.590 --> 58:44.030
all of those communities . Um ,

58:45.020 --> 58:48.960
but in the wake of of more than 1.9

58:48.960 --> 58:52.710
million tests we see more than 400,000

58:52.710 --> 58:54.877
Americans have tested positive for the

58:54.877 --> 58:57.180
Corona virus . And sadly , we've lost

58:57.180 --> 59:00.680
more than 14,000 . We we grieve .

59:01.710 --> 59:03.920
But as the good book says , we do not

59:03.920 --> 59:05.976
grieve like those who have no hope .

59:06.690 --> 59:08.746
It's very special week . I know that

59:09.220 --> 59:11.442
the faith of millions of Americans is a

59:11.442 --> 59:13.664
comfort to them . President and I spoke

59:13.664 --> 59:16.230
to more than 10,000 faith leaders , and

59:16.300 --> 59:18.660
we were able to express to them our

59:18.660 --> 59:20.604
gratitude for the way that they're

59:20.604 --> 59:22.827
strengthening the communities that they

59:22.827 --> 59:26.580
serve . But , uh , we also find hope in

59:26.590 --> 59:28.380
the numbers that Dr Burkes will

59:28.580 --> 59:31.170
continue to reflect on today for his

59:31.170 --> 59:33.520
doctor found , she explained out

59:33.840 --> 59:36.740
yesterday . And in the days before ,

59:37.470 --> 59:40.090
the losses , as grievous as they are

59:40.090 --> 59:44.060
that we are seeing today , are

59:44.070 --> 59:46.430
a reflection of people that contracted

59:46.430 --> 59:50.010
the Corona virus in many cases before

59:50.010 --> 59:53.290
strong mitigation steps were taken , um ,

59:53.920 --> 59:57.840
before the guidelines for America fully

59:57.840 --> 01:00:01.000
took hold . The case is , however , in

01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:03.190
the new cases in the hospitalizations

01:00:03.530 --> 01:00:07.400
are in fact a reflection of of the

01:00:07.400 --> 01:00:09.622
results of what the American people are

01:00:09.622 --> 01:00:12.260
doing . And I want to echo the

01:00:12.260 --> 01:00:15.180
president's and Dr Burke statements

01:00:16.110 --> 01:00:18.640
today about the extraordinary work the

01:00:18.640 --> 01:00:21.820
American people are doing because we

01:00:21.820 --> 01:00:25.710
continue to see a great progress low

01:00:25.710 --> 01:00:27.720
and steady numbers in the states of

01:00:27.730 --> 01:00:30.500
California and Washington and in the

01:00:30.500 --> 01:00:32.389
New York metropolitan area in New

01:00:32.389 --> 01:00:34.920
Jersey , New Orleans Metro area ,

01:00:34.920 --> 01:00:38.390
Detroit in Chicago and Boston .

01:00:38.880 --> 01:00:40.820
We continue to see evidence of

01:00:40.820 --> 01:00:42.709
stabilization . That should be an

01:00:42.709 --> 01:00:44.680
encouragement to every American

01:00:45.730 --> 01:00:48.840
encouragement that we may maybe

01:00:48.840 --> 01:00:51.800
reaching the point where the impact of

01:00:51.800 --> 01:00:54.070
the Corona virus is beginning to level

01:00:54.080 --> 01:00:57.200
off . But it also should be an

01:00:57.200 --> 01:00:59.256
encouragement every American to keep

01:00:59.270 --> 01:01:02.880
doing what we're all doing . He'd the

01:01:02.880 --> 01:01:04.713
guidance of your state and local

01:01:04.713 --> 01:01:06.658
authorities and for every American

01:01:07.280 --> 01:01:10.350
continue to put the White House Corona

01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:13.380
virus guidelines for America into

01:01:13.380 --> 01:01:16.010
effect . An area of particular concern

01:01:16.010 --> 01:01:18.177
we were briefed on this morning is the

01:01:18.177 --> 01:01:20.343
city of Philadelphia . I spoke today ,

01:01:20.343 --> 01:01:23.920
Thio Governor Tom Wolfe . And as we

01:01:23.930 --> 01:01:27.590
begin to see early trendlines

01:01:28.350 --> 01:01:30.710
in Philadelphia , I assured him that we

01:01:30.710 --> 01:01:32.543
were going to continue to flow .

01:01:32.543 --> 01:01:34.821
Resource is and support that community .

01:01:34.821 --> 01:01:38.350
But our message to the people of the

01:01:38.350 --> 01:01:41.480
Philadelphia area is now more than ever

01:01:42.310 --> 01:01:44.520
a practice , the social distancing So

01:01:44.520 --> 01:01:47.630
that Philadelphia , uh , and , uh ,

01:01:48.370 --> 01:01:51.450
end to some extent , even Pittsburgh do

01:01:51.450 --> 01:01:54.180
not have to endure what other

01:01:54.180 --> 01:01:56.440
communities before them have had to

01:01:56.440 --> 01:01:59.040
endure . Also today , at the

01:01:59.040 --> 01:02:01.340
president's direction , we hosted a

01:02:01.350 --> 01:02:03.650
conference call with every Republican

01:02:03.650 --> 01:02:05.817
member of the House of Representatives

01:02:05.817 --> 01:02:07.983
and every Democrat member of the House

01:02:07.983 --> 01:02:10.206
of Representatives , and we express our

01:02:10.206 --> 01:02:12.610
appreciation to Speaker Nancy Pelosi

01:02:12.610 --> 01:02:14.832
and leader Kevin McCarthy for convening

01:02:14.990 --> 01:02:17.157
these forums , we brought together key

01:02:17.157 --> 01:02:19.040
members of our task force . Team

01:02:19.050 --> 01:02:21.272
secretary of the Treasury discussed the

01:02:21.272 --> 01:02:23.328
progress that we've made on paycheck

01:02:23.328 --> 01:02:25.730
protection . He reported toe members of

01:02:25.730 --> 01:02:27.952
Congress that so far we're working with

01:02:28.130 --> 01:02:30.830
more than 3600 lenders across the

01:02:30.830 --> 01:02:34.080
country , and we disperse more than $98

01:02:34.080 --> 01:02:37.910
billion in forgive a ble loans . Now

01:02:37.910 --> 01:02:39.760
these air loans that if small

01:02:39.760 --> 01:02:41.982
businesses accept this money and use it

01:02:41.982 --> 01:02:44.038
to keep people on their payroll over

01:02:44.038 --> 01:02:45.871
the next two months , they'll be

01:02:45.871 --> 01:02:47.860
completely forgiven . A Treasury

01:02:47.860 --> 01:02:51.770
tonight will be issuing a new F A Q

01:02:51.770 --> 01:02:54.310
frequently asked questions document

01:02:54.780 --> 01:02:56.669
that will also make it clear that

01:02:56.669 --> 01:02:59.420
lenders may use their own closing

01:02:59.600 --> 01:03:02.520
documents for completing loan

01:03:02.530 --> 01:03:06.060
applications . And that information is

01:03:06.060 --> 01:03:09.460
available at treasury dot gov and s b a

01:03:09.590 --> 01:03:13.450
dot gov as well . Dr . Burkes and Dr

01:03:13.450 --> 01:03:15.450
Fauci brief the members of Congress

01:03:15.450 --> 01:03:17.672
today on the latest data . They'll both

01:03:17.672 --> 01:03:19.783
reflect on that in a moment . We also

01:03:19.783 --> 01:03:21.950
had Admiral John Pelota talk about our

01:03:21.950 --> 01:03:23.810
control tower system and the

01:03:23.810 --> 01:03:26.570
extraordinary flow of supplies to

01:03:26.570 --> 01:03:29.680
critical areas across the country . We

01:03:29.680 --> 01:03:31.950
also briefed on the dispersement of

01:03:31.950 --> 01:03:33.894
resource is the local hospitals of

01:03:33.894 --> 01:03:36.061
Seema Verma and gave them an update on

01:03:36.061 --> 01:03:38.283
what the secretary of state spoke about

01:03:38.283 --> 01:03:41.270
today . Remarkable to think more than

01:03:41.270 --> 01:03:43.720
50,000 Americans brought back home

01:03:44.200 --> 01:03:47.560
through nearly 500 flights on Dhe , and

01:03:47.560 --> 01:03:49.616
we thank the members of Congress who

01:03:49.616 --> 01:03:51.727
have worked with the State Department

01:03:51.727 --> 01:03:53.920
to identify of family members and

01:03:53.920 --> 01:03:56.140
groups that found themselves stranded

01:03:56.140 --> 01:03:58.510
overseas . We were grateful for that .

01:03:59.200 --> 01:04:01.200
In addition to our interaction with

01:04:01.200 --> 01:04:03.256
members of Congress today , we spoke

01:04:03.256 --> 01:04:05.311
with the president of the Henry Ford

01:04:05.311 --> 01:04:07.478
Hospital , Bob Briny . It is the Henry

01:04:07.478 --> 01:04:09.422
Ford Hospital that is conducting a

01:04:09.422 --> 01:04:11.800
clinical trial for Hydrochloric win .

01:04:12.290 --> 01:04:14.660
Hey expressed great enthusiasm for the

01:04:14.660 --> 01:04:16.716
work that they had done . They had a

01:04:16.716 --> 01:04:19.720
had a rather overwhelming response of

01:04:20.040 --> 01:04:21.818
to the initial trial , which is

01:04:21.818 --> 01:04:23.940
beginning this week with 3000 people

01:04:24.370 --> 01:04:27.060
taking the Hydra Cork win or a placebo

01:04:27.060 --> 01:04:29.060
so they can march it match it . But

01:04:29.270 --> 01:04:32.010
what the president of the Henry Ford

01:04:32.010 --> 01:04:33.954
Hospital told me is they'd like to

01:04:33.954 --> 01:04:36.010
expand the test . I put him in touch

01:04:36.010 --> 01:04:38.177
with Steve Han and the FDA and will be

01:04:38.177 --> 01:04:40.990
adding several Maur clinical trial

01:04:40.990 --> 01:04:44.370
paths to look at impacts on

01:04:44.370 --> 01:04:46.148
particular demographic groups ,

01:04:46.148 --> 01:04:49.690
including seniors , Uh , and minority

01:04:49.690 --> 01:04:52.680
populations and Maur on that in just a

01:04:52.680 --> 01:04:56.590
moment in the category of supplies on

01:04:56.590 --> 01:04:59.340
support on the president as of today ,

01:04:59.340 --> 01:05:01.180
has signed 52 major disaster

01:05:01.180 --> 01:05:03.620
declarations . Vermont was the latest

01:05:03.620 --> 01:05:06.070
approved on states have stood up some

01:05:06.070 --> 01:05:09.080
27,000 National Guard that aiding and

01:05:09.080 --> 01:05:11.840
Corona virus response on the critical

01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:13.840
subject of ventilators . We do have

01:05:14.110 --> 01:05:17.170
currently more than 1000 ventilators in

01:05:17.170 --> 01:05:19.750
our strategic national stockpile and

01:05:19.750 --> 01:05:22.660
distributed Maur to , uh , Navajo

01:05:22.660 --> 01:05:26.370
Nation into Colorado today . But also

01:05:26.370 --> 01:05:28.600
today we received the good news that ,

01:05:28.990 --> 01:05:31.360
uh , the first delivery of newly

01:05:31.360 --> 01:05:33.610
manufactured ventilators from General

01:05:33.610 --> 01:05:35.666
Electric and Hamilton arrived at the

01:05:35.666 --> 01:05:38.170
Strategic National Stockpile . And , as

01:05:38.170 --> 01:05:40.226
the president said , we'll be adding

01:05:40.300 --> 01:05:43.270
newly manufactured ventilators to our

01:05:43.270 --> 01:05:46.980
resource is to be available as as the

01:05:46.980 --> 01:05:50.600
Corona virus epidemic reaches critical

01:05:51.290 --> 01:05:53.401
communities around the country On the

01:05:53.401 --> 01:05:55.770
subject of the air bridge , four

01:05:55.770 --> 01:05:57.659
flights scheduled to arrive today

01:05:57.659 --> 01:06:00.000
primarily focused on gloves for our

01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:02.270
incredible health care workers . One

01:06:02.270 --> 01:06:04.910
flight alone had nearly 19 million

01:06:04.910 --> 01:06:06.743
gloves , another eight million ,

01:06:06.743 --> 01:06:10.060
another 15 million on the light , and

01:06:10.670 --> 01:06:12.781
the American people , I think , would

01:06:12.781 --> 01:06:15.170
be very proud to see this vast array of

01:06:15.170 --> 01:06:17.337
now well more than 50 flights that are

01:06:17.337 --> 01:06:19.890
bringing in supplies from all over the

01:06:19.890 --> 01:06:22.450
world and again working through FEMA ,

01:06:22.450 --> 01:06:24.506
were directing . Those . Resource is

01:06:24.980 --> 01:06:28.210
with the guidance of our scientific

01:06:28.210 --> 01:06:30.930
experts to the community's most in need ,

01:06:32.080 --> 01:06:34.302
a CZ we announced yesterday . The White

01:06:34.302 --> 01:06:36.260
House Corona Virus Task Force has

01:06:36.880 --> 01:06:39.540
requested that a CDC and our team

01:06:39.540 --> 01:06:42.880
assembled data on the unique impact

01:06:42.890 --> 01:06:46.020
that that we're seeing reported on

01:06:46.030 --> 01:06:48.363
African Americans from the Corona virus .

01:06:48.363 --> 01:06:50.586
Dr . Fauci spoke about it yesterday and

01:06:50.586 --> 01:06:53.900
will reflect on his perspective on that

01:06:53.900 --> 01:06:56.070
as well . Tomorrow , with the surgeon

01:06:56.070 --> 01:06:58.690
general and others on the White House

01:06:58.690 --> 01:07:01.300
team , will we'll be speaking with the

01:07:01.310 --> 01:07:03.088
leaders in the African American

01:07:03.088 --> 01:07:06.690
community and a CZ Dr Fauci will

01:07:06.690 --> 01:07:10.060
reflect . Um , there are have been

01:07:10.070 --> 01:07:13.300
historic challenges in the health care

01:07:13.300 --> 01:07:15.190
of the Africa African American

01:07:15.190 --> 01:07:17.460
communities , particularly in our inner

01:07:17.460 --> 01:07:20.080
cities . And now more than ever , I'll

01:07:20.080 --> 01:07:23.390
just say , from my heart to all of that ,

01:07:23.400 --> 01:07:25.344
all of our African American family

01:07:25.344 --> 01:07:27.400
members now more than ever practiced

01:07:27.400 --> 01:07:30.080
the guidelines look after those most

01:07:30.080 --> 01:07:32.247
vulnerable people that have underlying

01:07:32.247 --> 01:07:34.358
serious health conditions . It's more

01:07:34.358 --> 01:07:36.810
important than ever that we all put

01:07:36.810 --> 01:07:39.330
those principles into practice .

01:07:40.530 --> 01:07:44.000
Finally , today I'm gonna have after we

01:07:44.010 --> 01:07:47.530
we hear from Dr Fauci and Dr Burke . So

01:07:47.530 --> 01:07:49.697
I'm gonna ask Dr Redfield to step up .

01:07:49.697 --> 01:07:51.650
Because today the CDC will be

01:07:51.650 --> 01:07:54.550
publishing new guidance on essential

01:07:54.980 --> 01:07:57.290
critical workers who have been exposed

01:07:57.290 --> 01:07:59.920
to Cove in 19 but don't have any

01:07:59.920 --> 01:08:02.100
symptoms , don't have a temperature .

01:08:02.100 --> 01:08:04.450
And I don't have any reason to believe

01:08:04.450 --> 01:08:08.240
that they have the Corona virus present

01:08:08.240 --> 01:08:10.630
moment . The guidance is that if you if

01:08:10.630 --> 01:08:13.140
you have been in proximity to someone

01:08:13.140 --> 01:08:15.196
who did test positive for the Corona

01:08:15.196 --> 01:08:17.280
virus , that the guidance of CDC is

01:08:17.280 --> 01:08:20.420
that that even with essential critical

01:08:20.420 --> 01:08:23.150
workers in industries , from health

01:08:23.150 --> 01:08:26.180
care to food supply that we asked

01:08:26.180 --> 01:08:28.710
people to stay home for 14 days , the

01:08:28.710 --> 01:08:31.560
new guidance tonight will hopefully

01:08:31.560 --> 01:08:33.850
make make it clear that there would be

01:08:33.850 --> 01:08:36.072
an opportunity for those people playing

01:08:36.072 --> 01:08:38.980
such an incredible role in our nation's

01:08:38.980 --> 01:08:41.202
response . To be able to return to work

01:08:41.202 --> 01:08:44.120
and to do so safely . And finally , let

01:08:44.120 --> 01:08:46.950
me just say again how how inspired we

01:08:46.950 --> 01:08:49.172
are the response of the American people

01:08:50.170 --> 01:08:54.060
to the Corona virus epidemic . Each and

01:08:54.060 --> 01:08:57.510
every day as we see the beginnings of

01:08:57.510 --> 01:09:01.260
encouraging news , the low and steady

01:09:01.260 --> 01:09:03.316
numbers in California and Washington

01:09:03.316 --> 01:09:05.550
state and now beginning to see numbers

01:09:05.550 --> 01:09:08.030
of hospitalizations of going down in

01:09:08.030 --> 01:09:10.308
new cases , leveling and in some cases ,

01:09:10.620 --> 01:09:14.440
going down . We all hope it is the

01:09:14.440 --> 01:09:16.930
beginning of a trend , but we also hope

01:09:16.930 --> 01:09:19.580
it is . It's an encouragement every

01:09:19.580 --> 01:09:21.880
American to keep doing what you're

01:09:21.890 --> 01:09:24.280
doing , not just for your own health ,

01:09:24.290 --> 01:09:26.650
for the health of your loved ones , but

01:09:26.660 --> 01:09:28.716
because we we want to make sure that

01:09:28.716 --> 01:09:31.020
all of us are doing our part to make

01:09:31.020 --> 01:09:32.742
sure that the fewest number of

01:09:32.742 --> 01:09:34.853
Americans possible are exposed to the

01:09:34.853 --> 01:09:37.187
Corona virus . Given the fact that this ,

01:09:37.187 --> 01:09:39.131
I remind you , is three times more

01:09:39.131 --> 01:09:41.390
contagious than the flu , each of us

01:09:41.390 --> 01:09:44.630
has a role to play in slowing the

01:09:44.630 --> 01:09:46.630
spread . That's what the 30 days to

01:09:46.630 --> 01:09:49.200
slow the spread is all about . It's

01:09:49.200 --> 01:09:51.200
about protecting your health . It's

01:09:51.200 --> 01:09:53.367
about making sure that that our health

01:09:53.367 --> 01:09:56.120
care workers air are and our health

01:09:56.120 --> 01:09:59.210
care system is not is not overwhelmed

01:09:59.550 --> 01:10:03.190
by the Corona virus , and ultimately it

01:10:03.200 --> 01:10:06.900
is about saving lives . We talk about

01:10:06.900 --> 01:10:08.733
the numbers and I'm gonna ask Dr

01:10:08.733 --> 01:10:11.011
Burke's to come up and reflect on them ,

01:10:11.011 --> 01:10:14.020
but I think all of us know um ,

01:10:16.120 --> 01:10:18.650
this is one American at a time . It's

01:10:18.650 --> 01:10:22.030
one heartbreak at a time . Uh , and ,

01:10:22.030 --> 01:10:24.460
uh , having lost loved ones in my life ,

01:10:24.460 --> 01:10:26.516
just like everyone here and everyone

01:10:26.516 --> 01:10:29.310
looking on , we want to work every day

01:10:30.090 --> 01:10:32.060
to make that number of losses the

01:10:32.070 --> 01:10:34.760
lowest possible . And it will take all

01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:36.593
of us to do it and to keep doing

01:10:36.593 --> 01:10:39.020
exactly what we're doing here today .

01:10:39.860 --> 01:10:42.760
Dr . Burkes . Thank you , Mr Vice

01:10:42.760 --> 01:10:45.060
President . I just want to start where

01:10:45.930 --> 01:10:48.450
Vice president left off . I come out of

01:10:48.450 --> 01:10:52.080
the service is army . When you

01:10:52.090 --> 01:10:54.257
weigh , always talk about honoring the

01:10:54.257 --> 01:10:56.479
fallen . And I think for every American

01:10:56.480 --> 01:10:58.647
what we can do now to honor the fallen

01:10:58.647 --> 01:11:01.540
that have fallen and given the really

01:11:01.540 --> 01:11:03.620
their deaths to this dissed or a ble

01:11:03.620 --> 01:11:05.842
disease to the health care workers that

01:11:05.842 --> 01:11:07.953
are then front lines , trying to save

01:11:07.953 --> 01:11:10.176
every single one , to honor them and to

01:11:10.176 --> 01:11:12.231
honor our elders and the individuals

01:11:12.231 --> 01:11:14.342
that we know are at the greatest risk

01:11:14.342 --> 01:11:17.280
for bad outcomes . We all need to

01:11:17.280 --> 01:11:20.400
continue to do our work . Yes , the

01:11:20.400 --> 01:11:23.240
number of cases have stabilising or is

01:11:23.240 --> 01:11:25.129
stabilizing . But I do want to go

01:11:25.129 --> 01:11:26.962
through those numbers with you .

01:11:26.962 --> 01:11:29.018
because we talk about these as micro

01:11:29.018 --> 01:11:31.430
epidemics in metro areas and in rural

01:11:31.430 --> 01:11:34.160
areas . So in the New York metro area ,

01:11:34.160 --> 01:11:36.271
which includes obviously northern New

01:11:36.271 --> 01:11:38.493
Jersey , Connecticut and Rhode Island ,

01:11:38.493 --> 01:11:40.900
there is still 11,000 new cases per day ,

01:11:40.900 --> 01:11:43.630
and they're positivity rate on their

01:11:43.630 --> 01:11:46.570
testing is still in the 40% plus range ,

01:11:46.860 --> 01:11:49.270
so they're still a significant amount

01:11:49.270 --> 01:11:51.381
of disease there , and everyone needs

01:11:51.381 --> 01:11:53.548
to continue to follow the guidelines .

01:11:53.690 --> 01:11:56.520
UM New Orleans Metro area . 800 new

01:11:56.520 --> 01:11:59.510
cases per day but a Syrah positivity

01:11:59.510 --> 01:12:02.920
rate on their testing of 28% . Detroit

01:12:02.920 --> 01:12:05.900
metro area . 1400 cases per day ,

01:12:06.140 --> 01:12:09.310
26% positivity Chicago ,

01:12:09.500 --> 01:12:12.370
1200 cases per day and 18%

01:12:13.650 --> 01:12:17.280
Boston , 18% positivity , 1100 cases

01:12:17.290 --> 01:12:20.000
per day . Denver has fallen to 180

01:12:20.000 --> 01:12:22.111
cases today for today , but still has

01:12:22.111 --> 01:12:24.140
15% Syrah positivity . And they're

01:12:24.140 --> 01:12:26.830
testing . California and Washington

01:12:26.830 --> 01:12:29.810
have stayed stable at about on Seattle

01:12:29.810 --> 01:12:33.130
350 cases per days on the L A Metro

01:12:33.130 --> 01:12:35.850
areas , 800 cases per day , but their

01:12:35.850 --> 01:12:38.072
test positive rates of remaining in the

01:12:38.072 --> 01:12:40.590
9% range . And so this really gives us

01:12:40.590 --> 01:12:43.210
some idea of what it takes they have

01:12:43.210 --> 01:12:46.100
been continuously mitigating . Imagine

01:12:46.100 --> 01:12:48.100
what we're talking about . New York

01:12:48.100 --> 01:12:50.450
going from 40 plus percent , zero

01:12:50.450 --> 01:12:54.080
positivity and 11,000 cases a day down

01:12:54.080 --> 01:12:57.160
to the L , a metro area of 800 cases

01:12:57.160 --> 01:12:59.960
per day and 9% . So this is what when

01:12:59.960 --> 01:13:02.190
the president talks about reaching the

01:13:02.190 --> 01:13:04.190
top and coming down , those are the

01:13:04.190 --> 01:13:06.370
kinds of things we need to see , and

01:13:06.370 --> 01:13:08.720
the only way we will see them is if

01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:11.170
every American continues to follow the

01:13:11.170 --> 01:13:13.230
guidance . Now in the Philadelphia

01:13:13.230 --> 01:13:16.630
metro area where I come from , it's

01:13:16.630 --> 01:13:19.070
1400 cases per day . This , of course ,

01:13:19.070 --> 01:13:21.400
includes Camden , the counties around

01:13:21.660 --> 01:13:23.970
the Philadelphia Metro and Wilmington

01:13:24.550 --> 01:13:26.772
and in the Baltimore and the Washington

01:13:26.772 --> 01:13:30.640
D C area , 15% 0 positivity

01:13:30.640 --> 01:13:33.990
and 500 cases per day and 200 cases per

01:13:33.990 --> 01:13:36.046
day in Baltimore . This is how we're

01:13:36.046 --> 01:13:38.640
looking at it , county by county metro

01:13:38.640 --> 01:13:40.860
by metro rural region by world region

01:13:40.860 --> 01:13:42.971
to make sure we don't miss anything .

01:13:42.971 --> 01:13:45.260
And we're triangulating testing data

01:13:45.350 --> 01:13:47.330
with the attack rates , with the

01:13:47.330 --> 01:13:49.274
hospitalization with the number of

01:13:49.274 --> 01:13:52.280
cases and really creating a mosaic of

01:13:52.290 --> 01:13:54.420
who needs what went to ensure that

01:13:54.420 --> 01:13:57.130
every American is served well I had a

01:13:57.130 --> 01:13:59.470
great call today with a group of

01:13:59.480 --> 01:14:01.258
pediatricians , the head of the

01:14:01.258 --> 01:14:03.870
American Academy of Pediatrics and with

01:14:03.880 --> 01:14:06.140
the American College of Obstetrics and

01:14:06.140 --> 01:14:08.810
Gynecology . Behind the scenes and

01:14:08.810 --> 01:14:10.420
working every day are the

01:14:10.420 --> 01:14:12.790
pediatrician's fielding those phone

01:14:12.790 --> 01:14:15.050
calls from every concerned mother and

01:14:15.060 --> 01:14:17.650
course grandmothers like myself in

01:14:17.650 --> 01:14:19.706
protecting our Children every day to

01:14:19.706 --> 01:14:21.706
ensure that they have access to the

01:14:21.706 --> 01:14:23.706
medical care that they need . While

01:14:23.706 --> 01:14:25.928
this is happening and to every pregnant

01:14:25.928 --> 01:14:28.890
woman out there , I was very reassured .

01:14:28.890 --> 01:14:31.170
Hearing from the American College of

01:14:31.170 --> 01:14:33.570
Obstetrics and Gynecology , they have

01:14:33.580 --> 01:14:36.840
put amazing things in place to protect

01:14:36.850 --> 01:14:38.970
every pregnant woman . They have been

01:14:38.970 --> 01:14:41.490
social distancing in their offices .

01:14:41.490 --> 01:14:43.212
They have increased all of the

01:14:43.212 --> 01:14:45.212
disinfecting They have lengthen the

01:14:45.212 --> 01:14:47.170
time between clients , toe every

01:14:47.170 --> 01:14:49.430
pregnant woman . Don't miss your

01:14:49.430 --> 01:14:51.970
appointments . If your O . B thinks you

01:14:51.970 --> 01:14:54.400
need to be there , you should go and

01:14:54.400 --> 01:14:56.289
please know that on the labor and

01:14:56.289 --> 01:14:58.011
delivery wards , they're doing

01:14:58.011 --> 01:14:59.956
everything to protect you in their

01:14:59.956 --> 01:15:02.011
babies . They are committed to you .

01:15:02.100 --> 01:15:04.420
They are absolutely committed to you .

01:15:04.420 --> 01:15:07.150
Having a good experience . Make sure if

01:15:07.150 --> 01:15:09.261
your physician believes you should be

01:15:09.261 --> 01:15:11.261
in the hospital for your delivery ,

01:15:11.261 --> 01:15:13.094
make sure you're following their

01:15:13.094 --> 01:15:15.300
guidance . We don't want any pregnant

01:15:15.300 --> 01:15:17.400
women to suffer a bad outcome during

01:15:17.400 --> 01:15:19.511
this time . So again , I just want to

01:15:19.511 --> 01:15:21.820
conclude by thanking the American

01:15:21.820 --> 01:15:24.340
people and recognizing the number of

01:15:24.350 --> 01:15:27.360
people were losing per day is serious

01:15:27.360 --> 01:15:30.810
to all of us , and it could be so much

01:15:30.810 --> 01:15:33.620
worse . But our frontline health care

01:15:33.620 --> 01:15:35.787
providers , in the way they're talking

01:15:35.787 --> 01:15:38.009
to each other about how to improve care

01:15:38.009 --> 01:15:40.176
for every individual that they serve .

01:15:40.176 --> 01:15:42.287
You see them on the TV , you see them

01:15:42.287 --> 01:15:44.342
in the emergency room , you see what

01:15:44.342 --> 01:15:46.564
they're up against . This is how we can

01:15:46.564 --> 01:15:49.290
honor them is to make sure we continue

01:15:49.510 --> 01:15:52.100
to put , as Dr Fauci always says , Put

01:15:52.100 --> 01:15:55.050
your foot on the gas and make sure that

01:15:55.050 --> 01:15:57.750
we continue to strongly mitigate and

01:15:57.760 --> 01:15:59.927
really protect those with pre existing

01:15:59.927 --> 01:16:01.760
conditions . And finally , those

01:16:01.760 --> 01:16:03.840
preexisting conditions we know now

01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:06.050
include asthma . So asthma ,

01:16:06.060 --> 01:16:08.900
hypertension , cardiovascular disease ,

01:16:08.900 --> 01:16:12.320
diabetes on any of these conditions ,

01:16:12.320 --> 01:16:15.270
renal disease , no matter what age ,

01:16:15.470 --> 01:16:17.581
please make sure you're following the

01:16:17.581 --> 01:16:19.803
guidelines to protect those individuals

01:16:19.803 --> 01:16:21.803
in your household . We know they're

01:16:21.803 --> 01:16:24.550
more susceptible to a worse outcome .

01:16:24.830 --> 01:16:26.719
We don't think that anyone's more

01:16:26.719 --> 01:16:28.886
susceptible to getting infected I want

01:16:28.886 --> 01:16:30.774
to make sure everyone understands

01:16:30.774 --> 01:16:32.774
everybody is susceptible to getting

01:16:32.774 --> 01:16:34.441
infected . This virus is very

01:16:34.441 --> 01:16:36.820
transmittable , as we well know . But

01:16:36.820 --> 01:16:38.987
we need to protect those that need our

01:16:38.987 --> 01:16:41.153
protection the most . So thank you all

01:16:41.153 --> 01:16:42.987
for what you're doing to get the

01:16:42.987 --> 01:16:45.153
message out to ensure that we continue

01:16:45.153 --> 01:16:47.098
to protect each other in this very

01:16:47.098 --> 01:16:49.920
difficult time . Dr . Thatcher , please .

01:16:50.630 --> 01:16:52.797
Thank you . Mr Vice President . I just

01:16:52.797 --> 01:16:54.963
follow up . Underscore what Dr Burke's

01:16:54.963 --> 01:16:57.186
has said . As I've said many times from

01:16:57.186 --> 01:16:59.186
this podium , the spectrum of going

01:16:59.440 --> 01:17:02.080
from infection to getting ill to

01:17:02.080 --> 01:17:04.247
requiring hospitalization to intensive

01:17:04.247 --> 01:17:06.810
care to death and what is the most

01:17:06.810 --> 01:17:08.810
striking thing that obviously is so

01:17:08.810 --> 01:17:10.699
sobering to us is when we see the

01:17:10.699 --> 01:17:14.240
number of deaths we know now for sure

01:17:14.630 --> 01:17:16.741
that the mitigation that we have been

01:17:16.741 --> 01:17:19.320
doing is having a positive effect , but

01:17:19.320 --> 01:17:22.240
you don't see it until weeks later .

01:17:22.630 --> 01:17:25.730
Remember this past weekend when we all

01:17:25.730 --> 01:17:27.786
of us got up in front of this podium

01:17:27.910 --> 01:17:30.077
and mentioned that this was gonna be a

01:17:30.077 --> 01:17:32.299
really bad week . At the same time , we

01:17:32.299 --> 01:17:34.521
were saying that we would hope we would

01:17:34.521 --> 01:17:36.632
start to see a little bit of a change

01:17:36.632 --> 01:17:39.760
in the daily hospitalizations ,

01:17:39.770 --> 01:17:41.826
intensive care and innovations , and

01:17:41.826 --> 01:17:44.110
New York is starting to see that . So I

01:17:44.110 --> 01:17:46.221
say that . But I dropped back of it .

01:17:46.330 --> 01:17:48.219
Don't get complacent about that ,

01:17:48.350 --> 01:17:50.461
because what's gonna happen 2.5 weeks

01:17:50.461 --> 01:17:52.628
from now is really what's gonna happen

01:17:52.628 --> 01:17:54.517
with regard to the people who are

01:17:54.517 --> 01:17:56.517
getting new infection . As Dr Burke

01:17:56.517 --> 01:17:59.060
said , everybody is almost certainly as

01:17:59.060 --> 01:18:01.227
susceptible as anybody else to getting

01:18:01.227 --> 01:18:03.227
infected . It's what happens to you

01:18:03.490 --> 01:18:06.650
after you get infected and and again to

01:18:06.660 --> 01:18:09.600
just keep emphasizing . We need to keep

01:18:09.600 --> 01:18:11.580
mitigating . We know that this is

01:18:11.580 --> 01:18:14.040
something that is a strain on the

01:18:14.040 --> 01:18:16.570
American public , but it's just

01:18:16.570 --> 01:18:18.570
something that we have not only the

01:18:18.570 --> 01:18:21.080
only tool , it's the best tool . And to

01:18:21.080 --> 01:18:23.870
just shift a bit to what we said

01:18:23.880 --> 01:18:25.910
yesterday regarding the African

01:18:25.910 --> 01:18:28.132
American community . It is very painful

01:18:28.132 --> 01:18:30.243
to see and I've seen it throughout my

01:18:30.243 --> 01:18:32.750
entire medical career that the health

01:18:32.760 --> 01:18:35.870
disparities and the minority community ,

01:18:35.870 --> 01:18:37.981
but particularly the African American

01:18:37.981 --> 01:18:40.300
community puts them at risk . Apart

01:18:40.300 --> 01:18:43.180
from Corona , arrive by a virus issues

01:18:43.470 --> 01:18:45.990
puts them at risk for disease is much

01:18:45.990 --> 01:18:48.101
more so than the general population .

01:18:48.420 --> 01:18:50.930
The double whammy that you suffer now

01:18:51.080 --> 01:18:53.300
is when you have this terrible virus

01:18:53.600 --> 01:18:55.620
which essentially praise in its

01:18:55.630 --> 01:18:58.960
ultimate dilatory ISS effects on people

01:18:58.960 --> 01:19:01.640
with those underlying conditions . And

01:19:01.640 --> 01:19:04.220
since that is more predominant in the

01:19:04.220 --> 01:19:06.570
African American population , we want

01:19:06.570 --> 01:19:09.260
it double down and say to the young

01:19:09.260 --> 01:19:11.316
people to the elderly people in that

01:19:11.316 --> 01:19:13.850
community to please try as best as you

01:19:13.850 --> 01:19:16.340
can to protect yourself if you're a

01:19:16.340 --> 01:19:19.440
younger person and to please protect

01:19:19.690 --> 01:19:21.746
the people who were susceptible your

01:19:21.746 --> 01:19:23.857
grandmother , your grandfather , your

01:19:23.857 --> 01:19:26.079
elder uncle , the people who have these

01:19:26.079 --> 01:19:28.301
underlying conditions because we're not

01:19:28.301 --> 01:19:31.000
going to solve the issues of health

01:19:31.000 --> 01:19:33.780
disparities this month or next month .

01:19:33.980 --> 01:19:35.924
This is something we should commit

01:19:35.924 --> 01:19:38.590
ourselves for years to do . But what we

01:19:38.590 --> 01:19:42.310
can do now today is to prevent

01:19:42.320 --> 01:19:45.050
people who are put at higher risk

01:19:45.420 --> 01:19:47.650
because of the demographic group , from

01:19:47.650 --> 01:19:50.260
getting into a situation which is much ,

01:19:50.260 --> 01:19:52.149
much more Della tear ius than the

01:19:52.149 --> 01:19:54.204
general population . So I plead with

01:19:54.204 --> 01:19:56.370
all of us in the population of

01:19:56.370 --> 01:19:58.314
particularly for those of us , our

01:19:58.314 --> 01:20:00.314
brothers and sisters in the African

01:20:00.314 --> 01:20:02.370
American community , because we know

01:20:02.370 --> 01:20:04.710
that mitigation does work . The reason

01:20:04.710 --> 01:20:06.821
we know it works is the question that

01:20:06.821 --> 01:20:08.877
was asked about the numbers that why

01:20:08.877 --> 01:20:10.766
they came down on the projections

01:20:10.920 --> 01:20:13.420
Because remember , what you do with

01:20:13.430 --> 01:20:17.230
data will always outstrip a model . You

01:20:17.240 --> 01:20:19.910
redo your models depending upon your

01:20:19.910 --> 01:20:22.920
data , and our data is telling us that

01:20:22.920 --> 01:20:26.250
mitigation is working so again , as Dr

01:20:26.250 --> 01:20:28.139
Berg said , Keep your foot on the

01:20:28.139 --> 01:20:30.361
accelerator because that's what's gonna

01:20:30.361 --> 01:20:33.320
get us through this . Dr Redfield .

01:20:37.110 --> 01:20:39.450
Thank you , Mr Vice President . I just

01:20:39.450 --> 01:20:42.050
wanted to follow up . One of the most

01:20:42.050 --> 01:20:44.370
important things we can do is keep our

01:20:44.460 --> 01:20:47.220
critical worth wars working . And I

01:20:47.220 --> 01:20:49.810
think you heard it said that we have

01:20:49.810 --> 01:20:52.480
many different critical workforce

01:20:52.480 --> 01:20:54.800
industries in this country . Um ,

01:20:54.810 --> 01:20:56.940
obviously first responders , health

01:20:56.940 --> 01:20:59.110
care workers . But as you heard , it's

01:20:59.110 --> 01:21:01.190
also individuals who helped maintain

01:21:01.190 --> 01:21:04.140
our food supply , et cetera . So what

01:21:04.140 --> 01:21:06.470
CDC is done is that we really looked at

01:21:06.480 --> 01:21:08.790
the essential work force and how to

01:21:08.790 --> 01:21:11.920
maintain that workforce , particularly

01:21:11.920 --> 01:21:14.440
at this time as we begin to get ready

01:21:14.440 --> 01:21:16.390
to reopen and have confidence in

01:21:16.460 --> 01:21:18.738
bringing our workforce is back to work .

01:21:19.110 --> 01:21:21.830
And so we put out a new guidance for

01:21:21.830 --> 01:21:23.997
essential health care workers who have

01:21:23.997 --> 01:21:25.941
been exposed to the Corona virus .

01:21:25.941 --> 01:21:27.997
These are individuals that have been

01:21:27.997 --> 01:21:30.163
within six feet of a confirmed case or

01:21:30.163 --> 01:21:33.360
suspected case , and so that they can ,

01:21:33.360 --> 01:21:35.940
under certain circumstances they can go

01:21:35.940 --> 01:21:38.410
back to work . If they're asymptomatic

01:21:38.410 --> 01:21:41.660
is , the vice president said they could

01:21:41.660 --> 01:21:44.680
go back to work if they do several

01:21:44.680 --> 01:21:47.380
things , as we say here , take their

01:21:47.380 --> 01:21:49.436
temperature before they go to work ,

01:21:49.600 --> 01:21:52.840
where a face mask at all times and

01:21:52.840 --> 01:21:55.062
practice social distancing when they're

01:21:55.062 --> 01:21:58.060
at work . What we'd ask them not to do

01:21:58.150 --> 01:22:00.650
where they're at work is we want them

01:22:00.650 --> 01:22:02.817
to stay at home . If if they're sick ,

01:22:03.190 --> 01:22:05.357
we want them not to share objects that

01:22:05.357 --> 01:22:07.468
would be touching their face . And we

01:22:07.468 --> 01:22:09.523
would like them not to congregate in

01:22:09.523 --> 01:22:11.634
break rooms , lunch rooms and crowded

01:22:11.634 --> 01:22:14.860
places . And in the second slide , if

01:22:14.870 --> 01:22:17.092
we're talking to the employers of these

01:22:17.092 --> 01:22:19.720
critical industries , we would ask

01:22:19.720 --> 01:22:22.100
those employees urges to take the

01:22:22.100 --> 01:22:24.267
employees temperature and assess their

01:22:24.267 --> 01:22:26.378
symptoms before starting them back to

01:22:26.378 --> 01:22:28.711
work . If the employee does become sick ,

01:22:28.711 --> 01:22:30.760
we want them to be sent home

01:22:30.770 --> 01:22:33.380
immediately . We'd like them to

01:22:33.390 --> 01:22:35.910
increase air exchange in the buildings

01:22:35.910 --> 01:22:39.010
and increase the frequency of how they

01:22:39.010 --> 01:22:42.710
clean common surfaces on really began

01:22:42.710 --> 01:22:44.654
to get these workers back into the

01:22:44.654 --> 01:22:46.860
critical work force so that we won't

01:22:46.860 --> 01:22:50.020
have worker shortage in these critical

01:22:50.020 --> 01:22:51.742
industries . So that's the new

01:22:51.742 --> 01:22:53.742
guidelines that CDC will be posting

01:22:53.742 --> 01:22:57.660
today , and those will be available at

01:22:57.660 --> 01:22:59.960
CDC dot gov . And thank you , Dr

01:22:59.960 --> 01:23:03.230
Redfield , and questions for anyone on

01:23:03.230 --> 01:23:05.174
the panel , please . Just a couple

01:23:05.174 --> 01:23:07.510
things to clarify the 500 million mask

01:23:07.520 --> 01:23:09.910
the president mentioned that are being

01:23:10.300 --> 01:23:12.630
developed . Are those four health care

01:23:12.630 --> 01:23:14.686
workers are you planning to actually

01:23:14.686 --> 01:23:18.150
hand out , Master ? I think the focus

01:23:18.150 --> 01:23:21.180
has been to make sure that our health

01:23:21.180 --> 01:23:23.347
care workers in our health care system

01:23:23.347 --> 01:23:26.440
has the supply and with regard to what

01:23:26.440 --> 01:23:28.218
we're what we're gathering from

01:23:28.218 --> 01:23:30.570
literally around the world on for

01:23:30.570 --> 01:23:33.000
manufacturers in the United States is

01:23:33.000 --> 01:23:36.470
first being deployed two

01:23:36.480 --> 01:23:40.410
states and the hospital systems . But I

01:23:40.410 --> 01:23:42.466
must tell you that whether it be the

01:23:42.466 --> 01:23:44.743
Haynes company or other companies were ,

01:23:44.743 --> 01:23:46.854
we're seeing manufacturers in America

01:23:46.854 --> 01:23:50.700
that are recognizing , uh , the growing

01:23:50.710 --> 01:23:53.710
demand for mass by the American people

01:23:53.870 --> 01:23:56.860
and in our spinning up production

01:23:56.870 --> 01:23:59.680
literally by the hour . But but our

01:23:59.680 --> 01:24:02.290
focus , our continuing focuses on

01:24:02.750 --> 01:24:04.806
making sure that health care workers

01:24:04.806 --> 01:24:06.972
have the personal protective equipment

01:24:06.972 --> 01:24:09.139
to do their job safely and provide the

01:24:09.139 --> 01:24:11.083
level of care that every one of us

01:24:11.083 --> 01:24:13.306
would want . Thank you , Mr President .

01:24:13.306 --> 01:24:15.528
Kansas Governor . More police says that

01:24:15.528 --> 01:24:17.528
she is pretty and seven requests to

01:24:17.528 --> 01:24:19.639
team up for supplies from stockpile .

01:24:19.639 --> 01:24:21.694
And those have not been fulfilled so

01:24:21.694 --> 01:24:23.583
well . Can't beginning any of the

01:24:23.583 --> 01:24:25.361
ventilators because the request

01:24:25.361 --> 01:24:27.361
included ventilators . And does she

01:24:27.361 --> 01:24:29.306
need to be calling the White House

01:24:29.306 --> 01:24:28.900
instead ? Have you spoken with her

01:24:28.900 --> 01:24:32.240
directly ? I've not spoken to the

01:24:32.240 --> 01:24:35.520
governor directly , but I'll reach out

01:24:35.520 --> 01:24:38.040
this evening , certainly in our

01:24:38.040 --> 01:24:40.070
conference call with governors this

01:24:40.070 --> 01:24:43.820
week . We were We spoke to them

01:24:43.830 --> 01:24:46.910
about the approach that we are taking .

01:24:47.240 --> 01:24:50.400
Traditionally , governors are

01:24:50.410 --> 01:24:54.300
accustomed to when when a hurricane

01:24:54.300 --> 01:24:57.400
strikes the Gulf Coast , when wildfires

01:24:57.410 --> 01:25:00.140
strike out west when flooding or

01:25:00.140 --> 01:25:02.410
tornadoes hit in places like Indiana ,

01:25:03.540 --> 01:25:05.762
you're accustomed to have a declaration

01:25:05.762 --> 01:25:07.596
of emergency approved , and then

01:25:07.596 --> 01:25:11.020
resource is Flo from FEMA in this

01:25:11.020 --> 01:25:12.687
situation , as we deal with a

01:25:12.687 --> 01:25:16.310
nationwide declaration on

01:25:16.500 --> 01:25:19.210
an epidemic , what we've explained to

01:25:19.210 --> 01:25:21.377
governors is that what President Trump

01:25:21.377 --> 01:25:24.640
has directed is that we we leave no

01:25:24.640 --> 01:25:26.584
stone unturned to find resource is

01:25:26.584 --> 01:25:28.918
around the country and around the world ,

01:25:28.918 --> 01:25:30.918
including ventilators . And we make

01:25:30.918 --> 01:25:34.020
sure as as the Corona virus epidemic

01:25:34.110 --> 01:25:37.360
impacts individual areas , that the

01:25:37.360 --> 01:25:39.880
health care workers and the families

01:25:39.880 --> 01:25:42.250
and the patient's impacted have what

01:25:42.250 --> 01:25:44.417
they need when they need it . And what

01:25:44.417 --> 01:25:46.639
I would say to people of Kansas is that

01:25:46.639 --> 01:25:48.694
we're looking at their numbers every

01:25:48.694 --> 01:25:51.030
day , just as in the case of every

01:25:51.030 --> 01:25:53.370
state in the country , and and we're

01:25:53.370 --> 01:25:55.537
gonna work our hearts out to make sure

01:25:55.537 --> 01:25:58.300
that that as as the Corona virus cases

01:25:58.950 --> 01:26:00.950
emerge and we hope that through the

01:26:00.950 --> 01:26:03.420
great work the Kansas has done on

01:26:03.420 --> 01:26:05.840
social distancing and mitigation , the

01:26:05.850 --> 01:26:07.517
people of cancers have done a

01:26:07.517 --> 01:26:10.530
remarkable job that that we may well be

01:26:10.530 --> 01:26:12.460
to a place where their existing

01:26:12.800 --> 01:26:15.078
resource is and capacities are present .

01:26:15.200 --> 01:26:17.256
But we want people to know that that

01:26:17.400 --> 01:26:19.567
taking the council of Dr Berks and our

01:26:19.567 --> 01:26:22.150
entire health care team , we're

01:26:22.150 --> 01:26:23.983
focusing just as we did first in

01:26:23.983 --> 01:26:27.640
Seattle , California and now

01:26:27.650 --> 01:26:30.090
in New York , New Jersey , Connecticut ,

01:26:30.510 --> 01:26:32.850
Louisiana , the Detroit area of Chicago

01:26:32.850 --> 01:26:35.072
area . We're gonna make sure that those

01:26:35.072 --> 01:26:37.890
resource is go in that order . Broad

01:26:37.930 --> 01:26:39.874
social distancing in the work that

01:26:39.874 --> 01:26:42.097
Kansas has done is actually controversy

01:26:42.097 --> 01:26:44.319
right now . over her order to limit the

01:26:44.319 --> 01:26:45.986
number of people in religious

01:26:45.986 --> 01:26:48.230
gatherings to 10 people should stays be

01:26:48.240 --> 01:26:50.462
telling religious institutions how many

01:26:50.462 --> 01:26:52.629
people could gather . It's to stop the

01:26:52.629 --> 01:26:55.240
spread of the rovers . Well , the

01:26:55.240 --> 01:26:57.462
president's Corona virus guidelines for

01:26:57.462 --> 01:27:01.120
America ask every American to avoid

01:27:01.820 --> 01:27:03.987
any gathering of more than 10 people ,

01:27:04.270 --> 01:27:06.600
and that's on the advice of all of our

01:27:06.600 --> 01:27:09.210
best scientific experts as a way that

01:27:09.210 --> 01:27:12.510
we can . We can slow the spread . But

01:27:12.520 --> 01:27:14.742
as we've made clear to every governor ,

01:27:14.742 --> 01:27:16.853
we we defer to our governors and what

01:27:16.853 --> 01:27:19.020
they believe is the best inappropriate

01:27:19.020 --> 01:27:20.909
practice in their states and will

01:27:20.909 --> 01:27:23.020
support those local decisions . Thank

01:27:23.030 --> 01:27:25.420
you . Opening statement President said

01:27:25.430 --> 01:27:27.430
there were 10 drugs that are now in

01:27:27.430 --> 01:27:30.250
clinical trials with hydroxy for one of

01:27:30.260 --> 01:27:33.180
those , Well , I can I can speak to

01:27:33.180 --> 01:27:36.210
that just and then I I'll invite Dr

01:27:36.210 --> 01:27:38.377
Burke's doctor fancy to come forward .

01:27:38.377 --> 01:27:42.220
We do have believe we will have

01:27:42.230 --> 01:27:44.920
roughly four separate clinical trials

01:27:44.920 --> 01:27:48.040
underway studying hydroxy claure Quinn .

01:27:48.040 --> 01:27:50.151
But it's important to remember that ,

01:27:50.620 --> 01:27:52.870
um , that as the president's made the

01:27:52.870 --> 01:27:55.760
point many times the FDA has approved

01:27:55.760 --> 01:27:58.230
what's called off label use . And so ,

01:27:58.230 --> 01:28:00.397
in consulting with your physician . If

01:28:00.397 --> 01:28:02.119
your physician determines it's

01:28:02.119 --> 01:28:04.440
appropriate to write a prescription for

01:28:04.440 --> 01:28:06.551
hydrochloric when we're working today

01:28:06.551 --> 01:28:09.730
to make that available across the

01:28:09.730 --> 01:28:11.897
country , it's broadly available today

01:28:11.897 --> 01:28:15.570
as anti malaria medication , but we're

01:28:15.570 --> 01:28:18.000
working around the country and

01:28:18.010 --> 01:28:20.520
internationally to increase that supply .

01:28:20.520 --> 01:28:23.030
But we are . We are studying it in at

01:28:23.030 --> 01:28:25.197
least four different clinical trials .

01:28:25.197 --> 01:28:27.474
And Dr Faust , you can't speak to that .

01:28:27.474 --> 01:28:29.363
So the easiest thank you for that

01:28:29.363 --> 01:28:31.530
question These where to find out is to

01:28:31.530 --> 01:28:33.641
just go clinical trials dot gov , and

01:28:33.641 --> 01:28:35.586
it will tell you everything that's

01:28:35.586 --> 01:28:37.808
there . There are a number of different

01:28:37.808 --> 01:28:39.808
clinical trials , some of which are

01:28:39.808 --> 01:28:41.974
randomized controlled trials , which ,

01:28:41.974 --> 01:28:43.863
as I've said many times from this

01:28:43.863 --> 01:28:45.919
podium to me , is the optimal way to

01:28:45.919 --> 01:28:45.880
determine ultimately if something is

01:28:45.880 --> 01:28:48.180
safe and effective and works . But

01:28:48.180 --> 01:28:50.347
there are a lot of different ways that

01:28:50.347 --> 01:28:52.402
that this being looked at it's being

01:28:52.402 --> 01:28:54.458
looked at against the placebo . It's

01:28:54.458 --> 01:28:56.458
being part of a multi armed trial ,

01:28:56.458 --> 01:28:58.513
comparing it with others . There's a

01:28:58.513 --> 01:29:00.402
trial that was recently started ,

01:29:00.402 --> 01:29:02.069
actually in prophylaxis among

01:29:02.069 --> 01:29:04.013
healthcare workers . So there were

01:29:04.013 --> 01:29:06.291
several of these . In addition to that ,

01:29:06.291 --> 01:29:08.291
there's what was just mentioned now

01:29:08.291 --> 01:29:10.730
that any physician , in consultation

01:29:10.980 --> 01:29:13.202
with their patient and back and forth ,

01:29:13.210 --> 01:29:15.380
can make the decision to use the drug

01:29:15.380 --> 01:29:17.602
on an off label . So we have two things

01:29:17.602 --> 01:29:19.547
that are simultaneously going on .

01:29:19.547 --> 01:29:21.560
We're having actual formal clinical

01:29:21.560 --> 01:29:24.990
trials and the off label use cricket .

01:29:25.630 --> 01:29:28.370
Next , I want him back to his

01:29:28.380 --> 01:29:31.590
unfortunate rates of black death virus .

01:29:31.970 --> 01:29:33.914
Dr . Fauci , you have been talking

01:29:33.914 --> 01:29:36.137
about this week's that their underlying

01:29:36.137 --> 01:29:38.192
health issues people with underlying

01:29:38.192 --> 01:29:40.359
health issues , are most at risk . But

01:29:40.359 --> 01:29:41.637
if we knew that blacks

01:29:41.637 --> 01:29:43.637
disproportionately have fallen into

01:29:43.637 --> 01:29:45.581
that category , why wasn't the CDC

01:29:45.581 --> 01:29:47.637
prepared to gather this data in real

01:29:47.637 --> 01:29:50.290
time to work to fight this ? Well , I'm

01:29:50.290 --> 01:29:52.457
not sure , but we have the director of

01:29:52.457 --> 01:29:54.401
the CDC here who could answer that

01:29:54.401 --> 01:29:56.568
question . But let me let me try toe .

01:29:56.568 --> 01:29:58.234
Just take it from a different

01:29:58.234 --> 01:29:59.901
perspective . Um , the health

01:29:59.901 --> 01:30:03.880
disparities that exist are not anything

01:30:03.880 --> 01:30:06.720
that started with Corona virus . They

01:30:06.720 --> 01:30:09.140
were . They were there , so there isn't

01:30:09.140 --> 01:30:11.251
much you can do about the disparity .

01:30:11.270 --> 01:30:13.280
The thing you can do is to make an

01:30:13.290 --> 01:30:16.530
extra special effort to protect people

01:30:16.530 --> 01:30:19.580
who have the underlying conditions . So

01:30:19.580 --> 01:30:21.800
it was the same way as we say . Well ,

01:30:21.800 --> 01:30:23.911
the elderly and those with underlying

01:30:23.911 --> 01:30:26.690
condition . Unfortunately , the African

01:30:26.690 --> 01:30:29.560
Camari American community has a much

01:30:29.560 --> 01:30:32.090
greater proportion population for

01:30:32.090 --> 01:30:33.812
population of these underlying

01:30:33.812 --> 01:30:36.034
conditions . So the best weapon we have

01:30:36.034 --> 01:30:38.800
right now is what I said in my opening

01:30:38.800 --> 01:30:42.040
remarks is to do whatever we can get

01:30:42.040 --> 01:30:44.262
them to realize that what we need to do

01:30:44.262 --> 01:30:46.040
is to protect them from getting

01:30:46.040 --> 01:30:48.300
infected and to also protect them from

01:30:48.310 --> 01:30:50.850
inadvertently and innocently bringing

01:30:50.850 --> 01:30:53.320
the infection to people who have these

01:30:53.320 --> 01:30:54.653
underlying conditions .

01:30:57.630 --> 01:30:59.741
Thank you , sir . Can you explain the

01:30:59.741 --> 01:31:01.852
thinking behind these 100 ventilators

01:31:01.852 --> 01:31:04.400
that were given to Colorado when other

01:31:04.400 --> 01:31:06.456
states like candles have had trouble

01:31:06.456 --> 01:31:08.567
getting ventilators ? And can you say

01:31:08.567 --> 01:31:10.511
whether personal relationship with

01:31:10.511 --> 01:31:12.344
president is helping states like

01:31:12.344 --> 01:31:14.178
Colorado get these ventilators ?

01:31:14.178 --> 01:31:16.344
They're 15 states that have more cases

01:31:16.344 --> 01:31:18.622
than color . What I can say is that Ah ,

01:31:18.622 --> 01:31:21.380
we've been watching Denver very closely ,

01:31:21.380 --> 01:31:25.010
and like many of the other key areas

01:31:25.060 --> 01:31:28.680
that I touched on , we're

01:31:28.680 --> 01:31:32.170
beginning to see some encouraging news .

01:31:32.180 --> 01:31:35.320
But in our interactions with

01:31:35.930 --> 01:31:37.763
with the governor and with local

01:31:37.763 --> 01:31:40.600
officials and and with the senator ,

01:31:40.610 --> 01:31:42.777
we've we've made an effort not only in

01:31:42.777 --> 01:31:44.999
Colorado , but around the country to be

01:31:44.999 --> 01:31:47.890
particularly responsive . Two states

01:31:47.890 --> 01:31:50.780
where , where we've seen a growth in

01:31:50.780 --> 01:31:54.200
cases , but but I'm gonna let Dr Burke

01:31:54.200 --> 01:31:56.089
speak to that as well . There's a

01:31:56.089 --> 01:31:58.311
literally beginning with New York , New

01:31:58.311 --> 01:32:01.160
Jersey , Connecticut , Louisiana , the

01:32:01.170 --> 01:32:03.870
Detroit area in Michigan Chicago area .

01:32:04.550 --> 01:32:07.310
There's a Siri's of other cities ,

01:32:07.310 --> 01:32:09.254
including Denver , that we've been

01:32:09.254 --> 01:32:11.421
watching very carefully and what we're

01:32:11.421 --> 01:32:13.480
beginning to see . Some encouraging

01:32:13.480 --> 01:32:15.640
news . We We want health care workers

01:32:15.950 --> 01:32:18.320
in those communities to know for

01:32:18.460 --> 01:32:20.800
certain that that we're going to move .

01:32:20.800 --> 01:32:23.140
Resource is into those areas where we

01:32:23.140 --> 01:32:27.010
see significant outbreak . Whether

01:32:27.660 --> 01:32:29.660
individual government relationships

01:32:29.660 --> 01:32:32.970
with president are getting , they tell

01:32:32.970 --> 01:32:35.210
you within that decision . Complex is

01:32:35.210 --> 01:32:37.570
not just the absolute number of cases .

01:32:37.640 --> 01:32:40.120
It's the hospital capacity and what

01:32:40.120 --> 01:32:42.080
each of those hospitals have . So

01:32:42.080 --> 01:32:44.390
remember , I think , a couple of days

01:32:44.390 --> 01:32:46.557
ago we talked about how the states are

01:32:46.557 --> 01:32:48.779
sending the information about I see you

01:32:48.779 --> 01:32:51.260
beds , hospital beds , ventilator needs .

01:32:51.520 --> 01:32:54.160
So different states have different ,

01:32:54.160 --> 01:32:56.327
which I don't think any of us probably

01:32:56.327 --> 01:32:58.438
knew before this . But there are some

01:32:58.438 --> 01:33:00.604
states that have lots of ventilators ,

01:33:00.604 --> 01:33:00.540
and there's other states that

01:33:00.550 --> 01:33:02.820
proportion to their population or by

01:33:02.820 --> 01:33:05.260
their cases of cove , it have less .

01:33:05.790 --> 01:33:08.610
And so I'm sure Denver and Colorado fit

01:33:08.620 --> 01:33:10.570
into that model where there were

01:33:10.570 --> 01:33:13.290
hospitals that had less ventilators

01:33:13.290 --> 01:33:15.457
proportionally and were needed for the

01:33:15.457 --> 01:33:17.512
cases that were seen . So that's the

01:33:17.512 --> 01:33:20.000
kind of analysis . So every every state

01:33:20.000 --> 01:33:23.450
that has case a little has a few cases

01:33:23.450 --> 01:33:26.040
more than Colorado have all received

01:33:26.270 --> 01:33:28.214
ventilators , except for I think ,

01:33:28.214 --> 01:33:30.437
Texas . And that's just because they're

01:33:30.437 --> 01:33:32.790
just starting restarted . Colorado was

01:33:32.790 --> 01:33:34.846
one early on the curb , so they have

01:33:34.846 --> 01:33:36.957
many more . People have moved through

01:33:36.957 --> 01:33:38.623
that progress and our need of

01:33:38.623 --> 01:33:40.700
ventilators . Texas is very early in

01:33:40.700 --> 01:33:43.010
their curve in both Dallas and Houston ,

01:33:43.010 --> 01:33:45.066
so that's what I was talking about .

01:33:45.066 --> 01:33:47.288
Each of these are a micro curve that we

01:33:47.288 --> 01:33:49.343
have to follow independently , or we

01:33:49.343 --> 01:33:51.566
would maybe making general of decisions

01:33:51.566 --> 01:33:53.454
rather than specific decisions by

01:33:53.454 --> 01:33:56.660
geography . President .

01:33:57.220 --> 01:33:59.276
Follow up on the church's question .

01:33:59.410 --> 01:34:01.632
You're obviously a very religious man .

01:34:01.640 --> 01:34:05.360
You go to church on Sunday , will be

01:34:05.360 --> 01:34:07.416
attending church right in the living

01:34:07.416 --> 01:34:09.693
room of the vice president's residence ,

01:34:09.693 --> 01:34:11.916
where we've been attending for the last

01:34:11.916 --> 01:34:14.082
several weeks . Advantages . We get to

01:34:14.082 --> 01:34:16.510
go to our home church in Indiana . Is

01:34:16.510 --> 01:34:18.732
that the same example you'd like to see

01:34:18.732 --> 01:34:20.399
churches around the country ,

01:34:20.399 --> 01:34:22.621
regardless of what governors are saying

01:34:22.621 --> 01:34:25.150
do well , well , I think the

01:34:25.160 --> 01:34:27.382
president's Corona virus guidelines for

01:34:27.382 --> 01:34:29.700
America very clear that during this 30

01:34:29.700 --> 01:34:32.580
days we we're calling on every American

01:34:32.580 --> 01:34:35.340
in every state , Um , first to listen

01:34:35.340 --> 01:34:37.451
to your state and local authorities .

01:34:37.740 --> 01:34:40.960
But right after that , avoid

01:34:41.310 --> 01:34:43.310
gatherings of more than 10 people .

01:34:43.470 --> 01:34:46.400
Avoid unnecessary travel use , drive

01:34:46.400 --> 01:34:48.511
through a restaurant instead of going

01:34:48.511 --> 01:34:50.850
into the restaurant . We we are , as

01:34:50.850 --> 01:34:52.850
thes health experts have told you ,

01:34:52.850 --> 01:34:55.072
seeing real evidence that we're slowing

01:34:55.072 --> 01:34:57.017
the spread , that these mitigation

01:34:57.017 --> 01:34:59.128
efforts were having a strong impact .

01:34:59.128 --> 01:35:01.500
And tonight , as many people , even at

01:35:01.500 --> 01:35:03.389
this hour on the East Coast , are

01:35:03.389 --> 01:35:05.860
beginning to sit down to a Seder dinner

01:35:06.280 --> 01:35:09.360
that's beginning of Passover and with

01:35:09.360 --> 01:35:11.770
Easter celebrations this Sunday , we I

01:35:11.820 --> 01:35:13.876
just want , encourage every American

01:35:13.876 --> 01:35:17.730
thio to heed the counsel of the

01:35:17.730 --> 01:35:20.120
guidelines , put those into effect and

01:35:20.120 --> 01:35:22.342
know that in so doing will hasten . The

01:35:22.342 --> 01:35:24.564
day will hasten the day that we put the

01:35:24.564 --> 01:35:27.850
Corona virus in the past , and we

01:35:28.040 --> 01:35:31.800
reopen our country . Question

01:35:31.800 --> 01:35:35.610
about Dr Course , as you are

01:35:35.720 --> 01:35:37.776
both probably where there's a lot of

01:35:37.776 --> 01:35:39.942
misinformation conspiracy theories out

01:35:39.942 --> 01:35:41.998
there about the Corona virus . There

01:35:41.998 --> 01:35:43.720
are some commentators who were

01:35:43.720 --> 01:35:45.887
suggesting that the number of dead are

01:35:45.887 --> 01:35:48.620
being inflated because they're saying

01:35:48.620 --> 01:35:50.670
that people were dying with other

01:35:50.670 --> 01:35:53.810
issues are being listed as CO 19 deaths .

01:35:54.540 --> 01:35:56.373
Perhaps you've seen some of this

01:35:56.373 --> 01:35:58.540
commentary may be too busy to see it ,

01:35:58.540 --> 01:36:01.180
but it is out there . What do you say

01:36:01.190 --> 01:36:03.134
to those folks who were making the

01:36:03.134 --> 01:36:05.520
claim without really any evidence that

01:36:05.530 --> 01:36:07.586
these deaths are being patted ? That

01:36:07.586 --> 01:36:09.530
the number of covert 19 deaths are

01:36:09.530 --> 01:36:11.641
being patted , for example , somebody

01:36:11.641 --> 01:36:15.590
who might die from a number of factors

01:36:16.010 --> 01:36:18.121
but had Corona virus are being listed

01:36:18.121 --> 01:36:20.360
as Corona virus deaths and because of

01:36:20.370 --> 01:36:22.830
that number is being inflated . It's a

01:36:22.840 --> 01:36:25.230
fair question . Might also speak about

01:36:25.240 --> 01:36:27.073
the converse . Yeah , we've been

01:36:27.073 --> 01:36:29.810
hearing the converse to the hearing

01:36:29.810 --> 01:36:31.810
both sides of that . I you know , I

01:36:31.810 --> 01:36:34.980
think we've made it very clear . I

01:36:34.980 --> 01:36:36.924
think every time I've been up here

01:36:36.924 --> 01:36:39.240
about the co morbidity , ese , and so

01:36:39.250 --> 01:36:42.100
they most of the people we've talked

01:36:42.100 --> 01:36:44.400
about the Italy data , the majority of

01:36:44.400 --> 01:36:46.830
the Italians who succumb to this had

01:36:46.840 --> 01:36:49.910
three or more co morbidity , ese . Um ,

01:36:50.060 --> 01:36:52.050
so this has been known from the

01:36:52.060 --> 01:36:55.350
beginning , so those

01:36:55.350 --> 01:36:57.400
individuals will have an underlying

01:36:57.400 --> 01:36:59.620
condition , but that underlying

01:36:59.620 --> 01:37:02.820
condition did not cause their acute

01:37:02.820 --> 01:37:05.020
death . When it's related to a cove ,

01:37:05.020 --> 01:37:07.170
it infection . In fact , it's the

01:37:07.170 --> 01:37:09.150
opposite . Having an underlying

01:37:09.150 --> 01:37:12.080
condition and getting this virus we

01:37:12.080 --> 01:37:15.260
know is particularly damaging to those

01:37:15.260 --> 01:37:17.260
individuals . We don't know all the

01:37:17.260 --> 01:37:19.316
path of physiology . I wish we did .

01:37:19.316 --> 01:37:22.330
Right now we see the ah lot of

01:37:22.340 --> 01:37:25.950
vasculitis where Tony and I came from

01:37:26.130 --> 01:37:28.241
Tony . Actually , Dr Fauci started in

01:37:28.241 --> 01:37:30.690
the vascular titties and Wagner's So I

01:37:30.690 --> 01:37:32.912
mean , these are things we have studied

01:37:32.912 --> 01:37:34.801
for a long time . We're trying to

01:37:34.801 --> 01:37:37.023
understand the path of physiology , but

01:37:37.023 --> 01:37:39.190
what we can tell you at this moment if

01:37:39.190 --> 01:37:41.023
you have asthma , you have renal

01:37:41.023 --> 01:37:43.246
disease . If you have diabetes , if you

01:37:43.246 --> 01:37:45.079
have hypertension , thes are pre

01:37:45.079 --> 01:37:47.246
existing conditions that puts you at a

01:37:47.246 --> 01:37:49.134
greater risk toe , having a worse

01:37:49.134 --> 01:37:52.900
outcome . So just just add a comment to

01:37:52.900 --> 01:37:55.011
that because , you know , having been

01:37:55.011 --> 01:37:57.430
through other serious issues ,

01:37:57.430 --> 01:37:59.910
particularly the very painful early

01:37:59.920 --> 01:38:03.120
years of HIV AIDS , when people talk

01:38:03.120 --> 01:38:06.360
about conspiracy theories , um , you

01:38:06.360 --> 01:38:08.580
will always have conspiracy theories

01:38:08.590 --> 01:38:11.520
when you have uh , very challenging

01:38:11.530 --> 01:38:14.310
public health crises . They are nothing

01:38:14.310 --> 01:38:16.199
but distractions You know , I can

01:38:16.199 --> 01:38:19.410
assure you , we have so much to do to

01:38:19.410 --> 01:38:21.521
protect the health and the welfare of

01:38:21.521 --> 01:38:23.632
the American people that I would just

01:38:23.632 --> 01:38:26.480
hope we just put those conspiracy stuff

01:38:26.490 --> 01:38:28.657
and let somebody write a book about it

01:38:28.657 --> 01:38:31.190
later on . But not now . Duck , You

01:38:31.190 --> 01:38:34.050
said something about not enough testing

01:38:34.360 --> 01:38:36.710
performed because some of the labs the

01:38:36.720 --> 01:38:39.190
machines aren't running . Did you want

01:38:39.190 --> 01:38:41.720
to clarify that ? What did you mean by

01:38:41.730 --> 01:38:44.170
80% weren't running . So I have a call

01:38:44.170 --> 01:38:46.260
with them at 8 p.m. Tonight . Every

01:38:46.260 --> 01:38:48.940
single one of those 120 laboratories .

01:38:48.940 --> 01:38:51.390
I think 87 of the laboratory directors

01:38:51.390 --> 01:38:54.630
have confirmed that call . It has to do

01:38:54.630 --> 01:38:57.540
with a machine called an Abbott M 2000 .

01:38:57.540 --> 01:38:59.651
It's a very high throughput machine .

01:38:59.651 --> 01:39:02.270
We have a 1,000,000 tests out there . I

01:39:02.280 --> 01:39:04.420
made a big push , and Abbott was

01:39:04.420 --> 01:39:06.531
extraordinary about getting those out

01:39:06.531 --> 01:39:08.476
to the labs . I mean , this is not

01:39:08.476 --> 01:39:10.420
sitting in a warehouse , these air

01:39:10.420 --> 01:39:12.253
physically in these laboratories

01:39:12.253 --> 01:39:14.540
sitting there right now , they're not

01:39:14.540 --> 01:39:16.710
running . So we've only run 88,000

01:39:16.710 --> 01:39:18.599
tests in three weeks off of those

01:39:18.599 --> 01:39:20.710
machines with a 1,000,000 task . It's

01:39:20.710 --> 01:39:23.390
so as someone who has worked in a lot

01:39:23.390 --> 01:39:26.310
of laboratories . Toe have a machine

01:39:26.920 --> 01:39:28.976
that is needed because we could have

01:39:28.976 --> 01:39:30.976
screamed every health care worker ,

01:39:30.976 --> 01:39:33.031
thes machines air every place in the

01:39:33.031 --> 01:39:36.580
country s o . They could have screened

01:39:36.580 --> 01:39:38.970
in these last three weeks 100% of the

01:39:38.970 --> 01:39:41.137
health care workers across the country

01:39:41.260 --> 01:39:43.482
that needed these wrap , these tests to

01:39:43.482 --> 01:39:45.649
be done and their high throughput . So

01:39:45.649 --> 01:39:47.482
I have a call with them at eight

01:39:47.482 --> 01:39:49.371
o'clock to really talk about what

01:39:49.371 --> 01:39:51.810
happened would be given . Well , I

01:39:51.810 --> 01:39:53.921
asked the vice president to give me a

01:39:53.921 --> 01:39:56.490
chance to talk to my colleagues first ,

01:39:57.130 --> 01:39:59.130
but we have a call with the CEOs of

01:39:59.130 --> 01:40:02.760
those hospitals tomorrow . Great ,

01:40:04.110 --> 01:40:06.221
thank you . That's a really important

01:40:06.221 --> 01:40:09.730
question . It underscores the fact Dr

01:40:09.730 --> 01:40:11.841
Burkes pointed out that with this new

01:40:12.050 --> 01:40:14.050
new test , Abbott Laboratories were

01:40:14.050 --> 01:40:16.900
there . FEMA's been busy distributing

01:40:16.900 --> 01:40:18.910
Thio states around the country . We

01:40:18.910 --> 01:40:22.510
purchased 1200 of these , uh , machines

01:40:22.510 --> 01:40:24.454
to be able to do these tests , but

01:40:24.454 --> 01:40:26.860
there's 18,000 all across America . So

01:40:26.860 --> 01:40:29.320
let me let me just renew our call toe

01:40:29.810 --> 01:40:32.210
all the all the hospital administrators

01:40:32.210 --> 01:40:34.720
and lab operators around America to go

01:40:35.580 --> 01:40:38.440
and identify those Abbott Laboratories

01:40:38.440 --> 01:40:41.190
machines and know that that while we've

01:40:41.190 --> 01:40:43.990
already tested more than 1.9 million

01:40:43.990 --> 01:40:47.860
Americans are our short term objective

01:40:47.860 --> 01:40:49.693
is to test his many Americans as

01:40:49.693 --> 01:40:52.660
possible as this a CZ we see the Corona

01:40:52.660 --> 01:40:56.330
virus epidemic emerge in in areas

01:40:56.330 --> 01:40:58.497
around the country . We want to search

01:40:58.497 --> 01:41:00.719
those . Resource is we want states that

01:41:00.719 --> 01:41:02.886
haven't seen a significant outbreak to

01:41:02.886 --> 01:41:05.620
have access to that 15 minute test . Um ,

01:41:06.080 --> 01:41:10.000
and , uh and ultimately , we as we

01:41:10.000 --> 01:41:12.740
go forward once we as you know , I

01:41:12.750 --> 01:41:14.972
think President Trump said today nobody

01:41:14.972 --> 01:41:17.194
wants to open the country out more than

01:41:17.194 --> 01:41:19.250
him , and I can attest to that . But

01:41:19.250 --> 01:41:21.472
we're gonna open it up when we could do

01:41:21.472 --> 01:41:23.528
so responsibly putting the health of

01:41:23.528 --> 01:41:26.810
America first and and to reopen America

01:41:26.820 --> 01:41:30.430
and stay open America . We're

01:41:30.430 --> 01:41:32.860
working around the clock to continually

01:41:32.870 --> 01:41:35.480
expand the kind of testing that will

01:41:35.480 --> 01:41:37.850
allow us to do what these experts call

01:41:37.860 --> 01:41:40.850
surveillance so that in every state in

01:41:40.850 --> 01:41:44.660
the country , once we put this chapter

01:41:44.660 --> 01:41:47.640
of Corona virus behind us , uh , we

01:41:47.640 --> 01:41:50.030
hope and trust sooner rather than later

01:41:50.810 --> 01:41:53.860
that when next fall comes that we will

01:41:53.860 --> 01:41:56.220
have a vast array so that CDC can do

01:41:56.220 --> 01:41:58.920
what it does so well . And that is when

01:41:58.920 --> 01:42:02.290
a particular disease emerges . CDC

01:42:02.290 --> 01:42:04.800
surges . Personnel does contact tracing

01:42:05.100 --> 01:42:07.100
isolates that individual . So we're

01:42:07.100 --> 01:42:09.390
just really calling on calling on all

01:42:09.390 --> 01:42:11.870
of our partners in in the laboratories

01:42:11.870 --> 01:42:14.148
and hospitals around the country , too ,

01:42:14.360 --> 01:42:16.360
to identify those Abbott laboratory

01:42:16.360 --> 01:42:18.510
machines and and help us continue to

01:42:18.510 --> 01:42:21.760
scale up and expand testing . But every

01:42:21.760 --> 01:42:24.950
American let me again just say thank

01:42:24.950 --> 01:42:27.510
you . Thank you for what you're doing .

01:42:28.200 --> 01:42:30.880
We are in the midst of , ah , week of

01:42:30.880 --> 01:42:33.870
heartache , and I want to assure every

01:42:33.870 --> 01:42:35.870
American who has suffered loss that

01:42:37.280 --> 01:42:40.670
we're with you . We're praying for you

01:42:40.670 --> 01:42:44.410
and your families , and we're end and

01:42:44.410 --> 01:42:46.632
will continue to work our hearts out to

01:42:46.632 --> 01:42:48.799
make sure these incredible health care

01:42:48.799 --> 01:42:50.966
workers who are inspiring every single

01:42:50.966 --> 01:42:53.132
one of us all across the country every

01:42:53.132 --> 01:42:55.021
day , have the resource is in the

01:42:55.021 --> 01:42:57.132
support and the equipment to do their

01:42:57.132 --> 01:42:59.188
job safely . To provide the level of

01:42:59.188 --> 01:43:01.188
care that any American family would

01:43:01.188 --> 01:43:03.243
want for their loved one , and to be

01:43:03.243 --> 01:43:05.021
able to go home safely to their

01:43:05.021 --> 01:43:07.132
families and the key to all of that .

01:43:07.300 --> 01:43:09.630
The key for the next 22 days

01:43:11.130 --> 01:43:13.950
is 30 days to slow the spread , and I

01:43:13.950 --> 01:43:16.006
just encourage every American if you

01:43:16.006 --> 01:43:18.228
haven't done so recently , go to Corona

01:43:18.228 --> 01:43:21.410
virus dot gov a print off your own copy ,

01:43:22.400 --> 01:43:24.622
pick up the phone and call a friend and

01:43:24.622 --> 01:43:27.160
just tell them that that you heard from

01:43:27.160 --> 01:43:28.882
the experts you heard from the

01:43:28.882 --> 01:43:31.180
president and our team that we're

01:43:31.180 --> 01:43:34.010
beginning to see glimmers of hope .

01:43:34.800 --> 01:43:36.856
Extraordinary progress in California

01:43:36.856 --> 01:43:38.800
and Washington is a tribute to the

01:43:38.800 --> 01:43:40.522
people of those states and the

01:43:40.522 --> 01:43:42.578
leadership of those states . But the

01:43:42.578 --> 01:43:44.850
beginning of stabilization and perhaps

01:43:44.860 --> 01:43:47.720
even leveling in New York and New

01:43:47.730 --> 01:43:50.720
Jersey , Louisiana and Detroit is a

01:43:50.730 --> 01:43:53.910
testament to the people of those

01:43:53.910 --> 01:43:56.077
communities to the leadership of those

01:43:56.077 --> 01:43:58.340
states . But understand that every one

01:43:58.340 --> 01:44:01.760
of us has a role to play , to protect

01:44:01.760 --> 01:44:03.760
the most vulnerable among us and to

01:44:03.760 --> 01:44:05.920
save lives by putting the guidelines

01:44:05.940 --> 01:44:07.940
into practice just like you've been

01:44:07.940 --> 01:44:10.220
doing every day since they were first

01:44:10.220 --> 01:44:12.360
announced . So thank you all will see

01:44:12.360 --> 01:44:12.800
you tomorrow
