WEBVTT 00:02.340 --> 00:05.800 thank you very much , everybody . Good 00:05.800 --> 00:09.660 afternoon . Today is good Friday and 00:10.500 --> 00:12.389 the Sunday millions of Christians 00:12.389 --> 00:15.240 celebrate Easter and the resurrection 00:15.240 --> 00:18.390 of Jesus Christ . At this holy time , 00:18.390 --> 00:20.612 we pray that God will heal the sick and 00:20.612 --> 00:23.530 comfort the heartbroken and bless our 00:23.530 --> 00:26.650 heroes . As American families look 00:26.650 --> 00:30.150 forward to Easter , we're reminded that 00:30.150 --> 00:32.890 our story ends not in despair , but in 00:32.890 --> 00:36.690 triumph and renewal . Very 00:36.690 --> 00:39.530 appropriate , isn't it ? I'd like to 00:39.530 --> 00:41.520 provide Americans an update on our 00:41.530 --> 00:43.930 ongoing efforts in the war against the 00:43.930 --> 00:45.986 invisible enemy . Before I do that , 00:45.986 --> 00:48.290 I'll have a couple of notes . The 00:48.290 --> 00:51.430 United States in discussions last night 00:51.430 --> 00:54.550 with Mexico , Saudi Arabia , Russia 00:55.240 --> 00:59.210 on dealing with OPEC nations . We 00:59.210 --> 01:03.100 are trying to get Mexico as the 01:03.100 --> 01:06.200 expression goes over the barrel than 01:06.200 --> 01:09.090 Mexico is committing to do 100,000 01:09.860 --> 01:12.770 fewer barrels . President and I spoke 01:12.770 --> 01:14.640 less tonight . We have a great 01:14.650 --> 01:16.539 relationship , great friendship , 01:16.810 --> 01:18.866 helping us very much at the border , 01:18.866 --> 01:21.140 they have 27,000 soldiers , Mexican 01:21.140 --> 01:23.084 soldiers on our border right now , 01:23.690 --> 01:25.746 stopping people from coming into our 01:25.746 --> 01:27.912 country . As our world goes up , we're 01:27.912 --> 01:31.850 up to about 168 miles of wall and , uh , 01:33.310 --> 01:35.580 and speaking with the president . They 01:35.580 --> 01:38.670 have a limit . The OPEC nations have 01:38.670 --> 01:41.330 agreed to a different limit reduction 01:41.330 --> 01:44.850 of about 23% . So what I thought I 01:44.850 --> 01:46.961 would do , and I don't know that it's 01:46.961 --> 01:49.072 going to be accepted . We'll find out 01:49.072 --> 01:51.670 the United States will help Mexico 01:51.670 --> 01:53.503 along , and they'll reimburse us 01:53.503 --> 01:55.614 sometime in a later date when they're 01:55.614 --> 01:58.290 prepared to do so . And we had a great 01:58.290 --> 02:00.590 conversation , but we'll find out how 02:00.590 --> 02:02.534 that all works out . As you know , 02:02.534 --> 02:04.710 they're trying to get rid of the blood 02:04.710 --> 02:07.043 of oil . That's a tremendous lot of oil , 02:07.043 --> 02:09.154 and we don't want anything to heard . 02:09.154 --> 02:11.321 Are incredible industrial action , the 02:11.321 --> 02:13.780 largest producer in the world now . So 02:13.780 --> 02:15.960 we don't want anything to hurt those 02:15.960 --> 02:18.170 jobs . Those great jobs in Texas , in 02:18.550 --> 02:20.500 North Dakota , in Oklahoma and 02:20.500 --> 02:23.290 everywhere . We have a tremendous 02:23.690 --> 02:26.350 energy New Mexico , tremendous energy 02:26.940 --> 02:28.996 business , and we want to keep those 02:28.996 --> 02:31.480 jobs . So where we're working on it , I 02:31.480 --> 02:33.536 think eventually it's gonna work out 02:33.536 --> 02:35.850 may work out quicker than what most 02:35.850 --> 02:38.017 people thought possible , and maybe it 02:38.017 --> 02:40.350 won't , but it will work out eventually . 02:40.740 --> 02:44.040 Our experts are monitoring the data 02:44.040 --> 02:47.250 from every part of our country having 02:47.250 --> 02:49.850 to do with the topic that we're here to 02:49.850 --> 02:52.850 discuss . In the midst of grief and 02:52.850 --> 02:54.906 pain , we're seeing clear signs that 02:54.906 --> 02:57.560 are aggressive . Strategy is saving 02:57.750 --> 03:00.980 countless lives . Tremendous progress 03:00.980 --> 03:03.147 is being made , although when you look 03:03.147 --> 03:05.258 at some of the numbers , I just spoke 03:05.258 --> 03:07.424 with Governor Cuomo with a good talk . 03:07.500 --> 03:11.180 When you look at those numbers , the 03:11.190 --> 03:14.750 numbers of death people that have died , 03:15.800 --> 03:19.330 it's so horrible . Now on the other 03:19.330 --> 03:21.820 side , you have the numbers of beds 03:21.820 --> 03:24.210 being used , were just saying are 03:24.420 --> 03:26.587 substantially reduced . That's usually 03:26.587 --> 03:28.476 the sign that it's heading in the 03:28.476 --> 03:32.280 downward curve . So New York , we know 03:32.280 --> 03:35.330 where that is . But in the midst of all 03:35.330 --> 03:37.497 this grief in this pain , we're seeing 03:37.497 --> 03:39.386 the signs and we're seeing a very 03:39.386 --> 03:41.740 strongly then a lot of that has to do 03:41.740 --> 03:44.400 with the aggressive strategy in saving . 03:44.820 --> 03:47.042 So many lives were saving so many lives 03:47.042 --> 03:49.153 compared to what it could have been , 03:49.340 --> 03:51.990 So nobody knows what the number is , 03:52.000 --> 03:55.810 but we had a number of 03:55.820 --> 03:58.470 100,000 lives . As many as that is , 03:58.470 --> 04:00.581 it's impossible to even think of it . 04:01.140 --> 04:03.540 And that was the low end , with a 04:03.540 --> 04:06.160 tremendous amount of work and a 04:06.160 --> 04:10.090 tremendous amount of you 04:10.090 --> 04:12.550 can call it many different things . Uh , 04:13.020 --> 04:15.131 our people had to be extremely strong 04:15.131 --> 04:17.270 and brave to be able to put up with 04:17.270 --> 04:19.850 what they've put up with . But , uh , 04:20.860 --> 04:24.570 the minimum if you did this social 04:24.570 --> 04:28.400 distancing and every other aspect and 04:28.400 --> 04:31.100 I think I can say 90% maybe even more 04:31.100 --> 04:33.211 than that , we're able to do it . The 04:33.211 --> 04:36.270 minimum number was 100,000 lives , and 04:36.270 --> 04:38.270 I think will be substantially under 04:38.270 --> 04:40.690 that number . Hard to believe that if 04:40.690 --> 04:44.580 you had 60,000 uh , you could never be 04:44.580 --> 04:47.970 happy . But that's a lot fewer than we 04:47.970 --> 04:51.440 were originally told and thinking . So 04:51.440 --> 04:55.120 they said between 102 120,000 lives on 04:55.120 --> 04:57.580 the minimum side and then up to 2.2 04:57.580 --> 04:59.858 million lives if we didn't do anything , 05:00.440 --> 05:03.300 but it showed a just tremendous resolve 05:04.020 --> 05:06.190 by the people of this country . So 05:06.190 --> 05:08.301 we'll see what it ends up being . But 05:08.301 --> 05:10.468 it looks like we're headed to a number 05:10.468 --> 05:12.634 substantially below the 100,000 . That 05:12.634 --> 05:14.980 would be the low mark , and , uh , I 05:14.980 --> 05:17.990 hope that bears out . The situation in 05:17.990 --> 05:20.550 Detroit and New Orleans appears to be 05:21.040 --> 05:24.610 stabilizing . Detroit is really 05:24.980 --> 05:27.700 started to go up , and now it is . 05:27.700 --> 05:30.850 Stabilizing in New Orleans is , uh , 05:31.990 --> 05:34.157 great place . I have so many friends , 05:34.157 --> 05:35.879 they they can't believe what's 05:35.879 --> 05:38.157 happening , but it's really stabilized . 05:38.157 --> 05:40.434 I spoke with the governor of Louisiana , 05:40.440 --> 05:42.551 and as you know , we're building them 05:42.551 --> 05:44.607 additional beds right now , the Army 05:44.607 --> 05:46.884 Corps of Engineers and FEMA , And , uh , 05:47.610 --> 05:49.721 that is going to be done . And I hope 05:49.721 --> 05:51.888 they're not going to be very well used 05:51.888 --> 05:53.888 because I think they really I don't 05:53.888 --> 05:55.888 think they're going to need them or 05:55.888 --> 05:57.943 certainly not very many of them . We 05:57.943 --> 06:00.110 built a big hospital off 1000 beds , 06:00.110 --> 06:02.220 and now we're we're in the midst of 06:02.220 --> 06:04.690 doing another 1000 . I don't think 06:04.690 --> 06:06.690 they're gonna be using very many of 06:06.690 --> 06:08.690 them . And that's a good thing that 06:08.690 --> 06:10.857 there was a time two weeks ago when we 06:10.857 --> 06:13.134 said That's not gonna be nearly enough . 06:13.134 --> 06:12.350 We're gonna have to build more . But we 06:12.350 --> 06:14.570 wanted to wait to see it . I'm glad we 06:14.570 --> 06:16.550 waited . It just looks like you're 06:16.550 --> 06:20.150 doing really well . Louisiana and State 06:20.150 --> 06:23.890 of Michigan is , uh , doing really much 06:23.890 --> 06:26.390 better than we thought . In Washington 06:26.390 --> 06:28.612 State , we've made enough progress that 06:28.612 --> 06:31.550 the governor is now able to return an 06:31.550 --> 06:33.606 Army field hospital . So we're gonna 06:33.606 --> 06:35.980 take that hospital . We don't think we 06:35.980 --> 06:37.924 need any more hospitals . We built 06:37.924 --> 06:40.450 thousands of beds all over the country , 06:41.140 --> 06:43.940 and we think we're probably not going 06:43.940 --> 06:46.273 to need that hospital anyway . If we do , 06:46.273 --> 06:48.384 we're ready to move it to a different 06:48.384 --> 06:50.384 location in New York . We're seeing 06:50.384 --> 06:52.329 hospital admissions declining very 06:52.329 --> 06:53.996 substantially . As I said , a 06:53.996 --> 06:56.051 nationwide , the number of new cases 06:56.051 --> 06:58.162 per day is flattening substantially , 06:58.162 --> 07:00.384 suggesting that we're near the peak and 07:00.384 --> 07:02.670 our comprehensive strategy is working 07:03.490 --> 07:05.810 overtime are guidelines to slow the 07:05.810 --> 07:08.050 spread or decreasing the rate of new 07:08.050 --> 07:10.180 cases very substantially , and will 07:10.450 --> 07:13.530 result in fewer hospital admissions and 07:13.540 --> 07:17.010 was saying that it's incredible , I 07:17.010 --> 07:20.930 think with no exceptions , it's looking 07:20.930 --> 07:24.100 like it's lower and again . That's 07:24.100 --> 07:26.400 because of the people doing what they 07:26.400 --> 07:28.660 had to do . Great people and and 07:28.660 --> 07:31.420 working with elected representatives 07:31.420 --> 07:34.270 and and the doctors , the nurses and 07:34.280 --> 07:36.000 everybody , just everybody . 07:36.010 --> 07:39.950 Everybody's so has been so amazing . 07:40.440 --> 07:43.590 Um , I was told this morning again , 07:43.590 --> 07:45.534 Please mention all of those people 07:45.534 --> 07:47.646 working into the grocery stores , and 07:47.646 --> 07:49.880 it's true , the checkouts and the 07:49.890 --> 07:52.001 clerks and the people that are really 07:52.310 --> 07:54.199 and a number of those people live 07:55.290 --> 07:59.000 become infected , so we want to thank 07:59.000 --> 08:01.910 them and a shout out to the With the 08:01.910 --> 08:04.640 tireless devotion of American doctors 08:04.640 --> 08:06.529 and nurses and all of the medical 08:06.529 --> 08:09.100 people , we've kept our fatality rate 08:09.740 --> 08:11.629 very , very low compared to other 08:11.629 --> 08:13.940 countries . My administration is 08:13.940 --> 08:15.884 closely monitoring the data on the 08:15.884 --> 08:19.600 viruses impact on our cherished African 08:19.600 --> 08:21.770 American communities because they've 08:21.770 --> 08:24.220 been hit hard and the surgeon general 08:24.220 --> 08:26.442 will be sharing more than information . 08:26.840 --> 08:29.020 Uh , right after we're finished here , 08:29.270 --> 08:32.650 he'll be coming up and saying exactly 08:32.650 --> 08:34.817 what's happening because it's really , 08:34.817 --> 08:36.817 uh , it's very troublesome . I will 08:36.817 --> 08:39.020 tell you that I'd also like to provide 08:39.020 --> 08:42.160 clarity on the important point for many 08:42.160 --> 08:45.720 Americans on elective surgeries . While 08:45.720 --> 08:47.498 we've asked hospitals to cancel 08:47.498 --> 08:49.553 surgeries and procedures that do not 08:49.553 --> 08:51.740 take place at this time , just not to 08:51.740 --> 08:54.150 do him now , the choice to delay any 08:54.150 --> 08:56.150 treatment still remains between the 08:56.150 --> 08:58.550 patient and their doctor . We're not 08:58.650 --> 09:00.860 advising Americans to postpone medical 09:00.860 --> 09:02.916 treatment that their doctor believes 09:02.916 --> 09:04.971 should occur now , so it's different 09:04.971 --> 09:07.090 kinds of surgery , obviously , but 09:07.090 --> 09:09.312 we're really getting to the point where 09:09.550 --> 09:12.230 you can start to think about doing that 09:12.230 --> 09:15.810 surgery if necessary Pretty soon , I 09:15.810 --> 09:18.330 think pretty soon yesterday I directed 09:18.330 --> 09:21.010 Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Sonny 09:21.010 --> 09:23.650 Perdue to expedite aid to American 09:23.650 --> 09:27.650 farmers and Secretary Do will be using 09:27.660 --> 09:30.870 all of the tools at his disposal to 09:30.870 --> 09:32.981 develop a program and very quickly of 09:32.981 --> 09:36.040 at least $16 billion to provide relief 09:36.390 --> 09:38.660 for farmers , ranchers and produces 09:38.670 --> 09:41.970 impacted by the Corona virus . In this 09:41.970 --> 09:43.859 time of crisis , we must keep our 09:43.859 --> 09:46.081 supply chains moving from the beginning 09:46.380 --> 09:48.740 right from beginning to end , and we're 09:48.740 --> 09:50.962 committed to supporting the amazing men 09:50.962 --> 09:53.640 and women who produce supply . I did 09:53.940 --> 09:56.218 last night a statement on social media , 09:56.218 --> 09:59.260 and I said , I have directed Secretary 09:59.260 --> 10:03.250 Sonny Perdue to expedite helped to our 10:03.250 --> 10:05.600 farmers , especially to the smaller 10:05.600 --> 10:07.880 farmers who are very , very badly 10:07.880 --> 10:11.100 hurting right now . I expect Secretary 10:11.100 --> 10:13.720 Purdue to use all of the funds and 10:13.720 --> 10:16.180 authorities at his disposal to make 10:16.180 --> 10:19.320 sure that our food supply is stable and 10:19.320 --> 10:22.000 safe and our great farmers are 10:22.010 --> 10:23.720 prosperous and continue to be 10:23.720 --> 10:25.942 prosperous . We're working very hard to 10:25.942 --> 10:28.270 make sure our food supply chain is 10:28.270 --> 10:31.140 sound and plentiful , but we all know 10:31.140 --> 10:33.140 that that begins with our farmers , 10:33.140 --> 10:35.362 cattlemen , ranchers and producers . So 10:35.362 --> 10:37.307 we're going to be working with the 10:37.307 --> 10:39.800 small farmers , the big farmers , the 10:39.800 --> 10:42.790 cattlemen , the ranchers , all of the 10:42.790 --> 10:44.846 producers were going to take care of 10:44.846 --> 10:47.068 them were working with them . Right now 10:47.068 --> 10:49.068 we have a lot of money that was put 10:49.068 --> 10:51.123 there through our use of tariffs and 10:51.123 --> 10:53.680 other means . And we're gonna help out 10:53.680 --> 10:56.850 our farmers . Andi , I don't think 10:57.450 --> 10:59.672 Hey , I've been helping our farmers for 10:59.672 --> 11:01.672 a couple of years because they were 11:01.672 --> 11:03.783 targeted , as you know , by China and 11:03.783 --> 11:05.783 others . And , uh , I think they're 11:05.783 --> 11:07.950 very grateful to what ? For what we've 11:07.950 --> 11:10.260 done . On the medical front , the FDA 11:10.600 --> 11:13.620 FDA has issued 47 emergency use 11:13.620 --> 11:15.660 authorizations for advancements and 11:15.660 --> 11:18.310 testing , new ventilator designs , 11:18.310 --> 11:20.310 innovations and personal protective 11:20.310 --> 11:23.340 equipment and experimental medicines . 11:23.340 --> 11:25.396 And Dr Hahn's gonna be talking about 11:25.396 --> 11:27.950 that . We've cut through the red tape 11:27.950 --> 11:29.561 to give doctors and patients 11:29.561 --> 11:31.930 unprecedented freedom to make their own 11:31.930 --> 11:34.840 health care decisions , granting access 11:34.840 --> 11:37.630 to potential therapies and drugs . 11:37.970 --> 11:40.490 Since Monday , we've deployed two major 11:40.490 --> 11:44.290 shipments of hydroxy Flora Quinn from 11:44.290 --> 11:46.457 our national stockpile . It's going to 11:46.457 --> 11:50.190 various cities , and , uh , we are 11:50.190 --> 11:54.000 also disposing and getting as 11:54.000 --> 11:56.370 quickly as we can portions of it to the 11:56.370 --> 11:58.537 Department of Veterans Affairs and the 11:58.537 --> 12:00.759 Department of Defense . And speaking of 12:00.759 --> 12:02.759 the Department of Defense , they're 12:02.759 --> 12:04.870 going to be sending us 10 million and 12:04.870 --> 12:07.600 95 masks that they had and we're in 12:07.600 --> 12:09.600 great shape in every way . We're in 12:09.600 --> 12:11.767 great shape with ventilators , were in 12:11.767 --> 12:13.933 great shape with protective clothing . 12:13.933 --> 12:16.044 We have additional plane loads coming 12:16.044 --> 12:18.100 in , but we're not getting any calls 12:18.100 --> 12:20.480 from governors . At this moment . I can 12:20.480 --> 12:22.536 speak , I think , for vice President 12:22.536 --> 12:24.758 Pence will be talking in a little while 12:24.758 --> 12:26.930 we're getting . We're getting very few 12:26.930 --> 12:29.890 calls from from governors or anybody 12:29.890 --> 12:31.834 else needing anything . They're in 12:31.834 --> 12:34.680 great shape for the surge that's coming 12:34.680 --> 12:37.570 in certain areas in particular , and 12:37.580 --> 12:39.802 that's a good job . You've done a great 12:39.802 --> 12:42.136 job on that , Mike , really a great job . 12:42.136 --> 12:42.050 I appreciated the whole country 12:42.050 --> 12:44.860 appreciates it . More than two million 12:44.860 --> 12:47.330 Corona virus tests have now been 12:47.480 --> 12:50.000 completed , and we're conducting 12:50.000 --> 12:52.560 approximately 100,000 more every day . 12:53.420 --> 12:56.000 We're also working to bring blood based 12:56.010 --> 12:57.954 Siri ology tests of the mark it as 12:57.954 --> 13:00.066 quickly as possible so that Americans 13:00.066 --> 13:02.232 can determine whether or not they have 13:02.232 --> 13:04.400 already had the virus and potentially 13:04.570 --> 13:07.680 have immunity . They have immunity if 13:07.680 --> 13:09.791 they've had the virus . A lot of them 13:09.791 --> 13:11.791 don't even know if they've had it . 13:11.791 --> 13:13.902 Sometimes it's brutal . You see , the 13:13.902 --> 13:16.013 Prime minister seems to be doing well 13:16.013 --> 13:18.320 now , I hope Hey , had a rough go of it 13:18.320 --> 13:21.050 and still is . But he's doing better . 13:21.500 --> 13:23.556 And then some people don't even know 13:23.556 --> 13:25.778 they had it . It could be sniffles . It 13:25.778 --> 13:28.160 could be they don't feel perfect , but 13:28.160 --> 13:30.550 they've had it . They're the lucky ones . 13:31.270 --> 13:33.850 The n , i , h , c , g , c and FDA 13:33.850 --> 13:35.910 currently validating these antibody 13:35.910 --> 13:38.930 tests to ensure that their accurate . 13:39.290 --> 13:41.290 And they're doing that at breakneck 13:41.570 --> 13:43.570 speed . I think we could say that , 13:43.570 --> 13:45.681 Doctor , we're gonna get him approved 13:45.681 --> 13:47.840 very quickly , Doctor Hans , when 13:47.840 --> 13:49.930 validated , we're confident that the 13:49.930 --> 13:52.400 production will scale up to tens of 13:52.400 --> 13:54.567 millions of tests very quickly . We're 13:54.567 --> 13:56.622 leading the world now and testing by 13:56.622 --> 13:59.660 far , and we're gonna keep it that way . 14:00.110 --> 14:02.370 Other countries are coming to us and 14:02.370 --> 14:05.050 they wanted to know about our tests and 14:05.060 --> 14:07.500 they buy the tests and can they do 14:07.500 --> 14:09.500 whatever they have to do to get the 14:09.500 --> 14:11.667 tests ? And we're gonna make that very 14:11.667 --> 14:13.889 soon will be in a position to make that 14:13.889 --> 14:15.889 possible , cause it's important for 14:15.889 --> 14:18.056 them to have it . And we're gonna have 14:18.056 --> 14:20.056 an announcement on the World Health 14:20.056 --> 14:22.111 Organization sometime next week . As 14:22.111 --> 14:24.480 you know , we give them approximately 14:24.480 --> 14:28.210 $500 million a year , and we're gonna 14:28.210 --> 14:30.543 be talking about that subject next week . 14:31.050 --> 14:33.470 We'll have a lot to say about it . Well , 14:33.470 --> 14:35.930 hold it . Every American should be 14:35.930 --> 14:38.041 proud of what our country is achieved 14:38.041 --> 14:40.410 in just a short period of time . The U . 14:40.410 --> 14:43.300 S military is deployed thousands of 14:43.520 --> 14:45.530 personnel to build 23 temporary 14:45.530 --> 14:48.150 hospitals with more than 16,000 beds , 14:48.730 --> 14:50.897 and we have the potential to build too 14:50.897 --> 14:53.119 many more if we needed them . We're all 14:53.119 --> 14:55.230 ready to go . But I don't think we're 14:55.230 --> 14:55.090 going to need them , which is great , 14:55.340 --> 14:58.530 great news . And we built those 14:58.530 --> 15:01.660 hospitals in 12 states and the District 15:01.660 --> 15:03.410 of Columbia using the Defense 15:03.410 --> 15:05.577 Production Act . And we used it like a 15:05.577 --> 15:07.799 hammer . A lot of the media said , Oh , 15:07.799 --> 15:10.021 we weren't using it . We used it like a 15:10.021 --> 15:12.750 hammer to a point where all we have to 15:12.750 --> 15:15.720 do is say the words and everybody gave 15:15.720 --> 15:17.830 us Max and they've done a good job . 15:17.840 --> 15:19.951 They really have done a good job with 15:19.951 --> 15:22.440 few exceptions and we've harnessed the 15:22.440 --> 15:24.390 full power of American industry to 15:24.390 --> 15:26.612 produce ventilators and other essential 15:26.612 --> 15:29.120 supplies . Right now , we're making 15:29.120 --> 15:31.440 thousands of ventilators , many of 15:31.440 --> 15:33.440 which we won't need . But we'll use 15:33.440 --> 15:35.660 them in our stock . Well , and we'll 15:35.660 --> 15:37.771 build that up will also help build up 15:37.771 --> 15:39.882 the stockpiles which they should have 15:39.882 --> 15:42.310 had in the States . And so we're 15:42.310 --> 15:44.366 working with governors on that , and 15:44.366 --> 15:46.588 we'll also help other countries . There 15:46.588 --> 15:48.699 are countries that are calling us for 15:48.699 --> 15:50.532 help . They need ventilators and 15:50.532 --> 15:52.310 they're in no position to build 15:52.310 --> 15:54.532 ventilators . We are . We have Ford and 15:54.532 --> 15:56.810 General Motors , and many , many 15:56.810 --> 16:00.710 companies are building ventilators , so 16:00.710 --> 16:03.340 we're gonna be helping at a not too 16:03.340 --> 16:05.507 distant point . We're gonna be helping 16:05.507 --> 16:07.451 quite a few of the countries . Now 16:07.451 --> 16:09.810 we've launched Project Airbridge to 16:09.810 --> 16:11.910 deliver nearly 300 million pieces of 16:11.910 --> 16:14.380 personal protective equipment from and 16:14.380 --> 16:17.260 around that love . We're also shipping 16:17.260 --> 16:20.780 out 60 sterilization systems to 10 16:20.780 --> 16:23.190 different cities that Kenichi sterilize 16:23.190 --> 16:25.620 up to 80,000 masks each day . And I'm 16:25.620 --> 16:27.910 even hearing it could go up to 120,000 16:27.910 --> 16:30.200 masks today . Certain equipment with 16:30.200 --> 16:32.770 certain additions . It's a company in 16:32.770 --> 16:34.826 Ohio that makes it a great company . 16:34.826 --> 16:36.937 great . I hear it's a great product , 16:36.937 --> 16:39.270 works very well . I asked that question . 16:39.270 --> 16:41.270 I said , How come we have to buy so 16:41.270 --> 16:43.492 many mess ? Why can't we sterilized the 16:43.492 --> 16:45.826 massive being used ? And the answer was , 16:45.826 --> 16:47.937 You can in this case , they say up to 16:47.937 --> 16:49.770 20 times so we can take a mask . 16:49.770 --> 16:51.714 Certain types of masks the N 95 in 16:51.714 --> 16:54.910 particular weaken sterilized them , 16:55.290 --> 16:58.160 make them very clean up to 20 times . 16:58.160 --> 17:00.450 That's a great thing . In addition , we 17:00.450 --> 17:02.700 passed the largest emergency economic 17:02.700 --> 17:04.811 relief package in American history to 17:04.811 --> 17:07.230 save the U . S economy and protect the 17:07.230 --> 17:09.700 American workers . You know , this past 17:09.700 --> 17:11.756 week , which was four active days on 17:11.756 --> 17:13.978 the stock market , Good Friday today is 17:14.520 --> 17:17.850 not is not included . The market's 17:17.850 --> 17:21.460 closed in four days . We had the 17:21.460 --> 17:23.516 biggest market increase stock market 17:23.516 --> 17:25.700 increased that we've had in 50 years . 17:26.520 --> 17:28.631 That tells you that there's a pent up 17:28.631 --> 17:30.798 demand that tells you they want to get 17:30.798 --> 17:32.964 back . There's something good going to 17:32.964 --> 17:35.131 happen . I really believe that there's 17:35.131 --> 17:34.760 something very good going to happen . 17:35.240 --> 17:37.910 We have to get back . So think of it in 17:37.910 --> 17:41.760 this horrible period , this horrible , 17:41.770 --> 17:44.720 dark period where this this monster 17:44.720 --> 17:48.360 came and yeah , worked . It's 17:48.360 --> 17:51.140 horrible , horrible spell over the 17:51.140 --> 17:53.520 world 184 countries as of this morning 17:53.520 --> 17:57.240 184 countries Uh huh . We've done 17:57.240 --> 17:59.260 well and I guess the market thinks 17:59.260 --> 18:01.450 we've done well because we had the 18:01.450 --> 18:04.150 biggest stock market increase without 18:05.140 --> 18:07.029 one day . We're talking four days 18:07.029 --> 18:09.570 instead of five that we've had in 50 18:09.570 --> 18:12.420 years . 50 years ? Think of that more 18:12.420 --> 18:14.840 than 50 years , actually . In short , 18:14.840 --> 18:16.951 the American people have launched the 18:16.951 --> 18:19.007 greatest mobilization of our society 18:19.007 --> 18:21.118 since World War Two . Deploying every 18:21.118 --> 18:23.820 scientific , governmental , medical and 18:23.820 --> 18:26.480 military resource to defeat the virus . 18:26.480 --> 18:29.120 So I want to just start then with we're 18:29.120 --> 18:31.176 gonna answer questions later , we'll 18:31.176 --> 18:33.231 have time . I think we have a lot of 18:33.231 --> 18:35.398 time today . A lot of people are often 18:35.398 --> 18:37.620 say should be good Friday , but so I'll 18:37.620 --> 18:39.564 stick around will answer questions 18:39.564 --> 18:41.620 later . I want to start with Deborah 18:41.620 --> 18:43.950 Berke , Please , Dr Brooks , and you 18:43.950 --> 18:46.172 can go over some of the numbers we just 18:46.172 --> 18:48.339 looked at and that'll be great . Thank 18:48.339 --> 18:51.470 you very much , Mr President . Thank 18:51.470 --> 18:53.940 you for outlining how well we're doing 18:53.940 --> 18:56.590 in a series of metro areas . What also 18:56.590 --> 18:58.701 has been encouraging for those you're 18:58.701 --> 19:00.757 watching epidemic curves every day , 19:00.757 --> 19:02.868 and I'm sure you are and lot watching 19:02.868 --> 19:04.868 him in log phase because that's how 19:04.868 --> 19:06.979 epidemiologists like to look at their 19:06.979 --> 19:09.201 curves . You can see for the first time 19:09.201 --> 19:11.423 that in the United States were starting 19:11.423 --> 19:14.270 to level on the log rhythmic phase like 19:14.270 --> 19:16.690 Italy did about a week ago . And so 19:16.690 --> 19:20.260 this gives us great heart that not only 19:20.260 --> 19:22.580 in specific places , but we're starting 19:22.580 --> 19:24.747 to see that change . Obviously , a lot 19:24.747 --> 19:26.969 of that is driven by the improvement in 19:26.969 --> 19:29.080 New York City . Remember , for a long 19:29.080 --> 19:31.250 time they were over 50% of our cases 19:31.250 --> 19:33.810 and 50% of our new cases . That is 19:33.810 --> 19:36.400 dramatically changed because of the 19:36.410 --> 19:39.630 impact of what the citizens of New York 19:39.630 --> 19:41.980 and New Jersey on and across 19:41.980 --> 19:44.550 Connecticut on now Rhode Island are 19:44.550 --> 19:46.606 doing to really change the course of 19:46.606 --> 19:49.130 this pandemic and really change the 19:49.140 --> 19:52.400 trajectory of new cases . We're seeing 19:52.400 --> 19:55.570 that what many states and metro areas 19:55.570 --> 19:58.520 were experience as to fold and fourfold 19:58.530 --> 20:00.641 fourfold increase is that went to two 20:00.641 --> 20:02.808 fold that now those air going to eight 20:02.808 --> 20:04.810 days between the doubling Wraith . 20:04.820 --> 20:06.931 Watching this every day gives us hope 20:06.931 --> 20:09.650 across these Metro areas from New York 20:09.650 --> 20:12.950 and New Jersey and all through Denver . 20:12.950 --> 20:15.310 And , of course , through New Orleans . 20:15.550 --> 20:17.870 We still see cases occurring in the 20:17.870 --> 20:21.100 Boston area and in Chicago , but their 20:21.100 --> 20:22.730 rate of increase seems to be 20:22.730 --> 20:25.470 stabilizing . And we really want to 20:25.480 --> 20:27.910 call out the work of the mayors of 20:27.910 --> 20:31.130 Baltimore on Dhe . The district and 20:31.130 --> 20:33.186 Philadelphia who have really brought 20:33.186 --> 20:35.130 all of their health health experts 20:35.130 --> 20:37.000 together and working with their 20:37.000 --> 20:38.944 communities are starting to really 20:38.944 --> 20:41.690 change the curves in those areas . What 20:41.690 --> 20:44.340 we're seeing is we're united in social 20:44.340 --> 20:46.360 distancing , and that's been very 20:46.360 --> 20:48.304 encouraging toe all of us . And it 20:48.304 --> 20:50.304 should be encouraging to the health 20:50.304 --> 20:52.360 care providers that are on the front 20:52.360 --> 20:54.660 line , many of which are serving our 20:54.710 --> 20:57.660 Americans with such dignity and respect 20:57.660 --> 20:59.493 and ensuring that everybody gets 20:59.493 --> 21:01.493 optimal care . And as the president 21:01.493 --> 21:03.493 noted , our mortality in the United 21:03.493 --> 21:05.660 States is significantly less than many 21:05.660 --> 21:07.882 of the other countries when you correct 21:07.882 --> 21:09.993 them for our population , and that is 21:09.993 --> 21:12.160 really solely the work of our health , 21:12.160 --> 21:14.530 our frontline health care providers and 21:14.530 --> 21:16.370 so working with you can really 21:16.380 --> 21:18.547 hopefully you get the theme today that 21:18.547 --> 21:21.140 were are incredibly proud of our public 21:21.140 --> 21:24.480 health leaders at the city level , at 21:24.480 --> 21:26.647 the state level , at the federal level 21:26.647 --> 21:28.591 who are working together to really 21:28.591 --> 21:30.647 change the course of this pandemic , 21:30.647 --> 21:32.702 working with their citizens in their 21:32.702 --> 21:34.924 communities to make these changes , and 21:34.924 --> 21:36.869 the American public who has really 21:36.869 --> 21:38.980 taken all of this to heart and stayed 21:38.980 --> 21:41.202 home . I know last week we really asked 21:41.202 --> 21:43.313 a lot of people in the Washington and 21:43.313 --> 21:45.480 Baltimore area to consolidate , not go 21:45.480 --> 21:47.990 out frequently to grocery stores or 21:47.990 --> 21:50.110 pharmacies . You can really see that 21:50.110 --> 21:53.150 that's having a huge impact . So it's 21:53.150 --> 21:55.400 really about the encouraging signs that 21:55.400 --> 21:58.650 we see . But as encouraging as they are , 21:58.660 --> 22:01.580 we have not reached the peak . And so 22:01.580 --> 22:04.080 every day we need to continue to do 22:04.080 --> 22:06.024 what we did yesterday and the week 22:06.024 --> 22:07.913 before and the week before that , 22:07.920 --> 22:10.230 because that's what in the end is going 22:10.230 --> 22:13.110 to take us up across the peak and down 22:13.110 --> 22:15.880 the other side . We continue to really 22:15.880 --> 22:18.050 applaud the work of California and 22:18.050 --> 22:20.050 Washington State and Oregon . We're 22:20.050 --> 22:22.272 learning from all three of those states 22:22.272 --> 22:24.217 from their public health officials 22:24.217 --> 22:26.272 about how they were able to keep the 22:26.272 --> 22:28.494 virus from ever becoming log rhythmic , 22:28.810 --> 22:30.977 and I think That's an important lesson 22:30.977 --> 22:33.032 for all of us on how they did that , 22:33.032 --> 22:35.143 what the timing was , in case we ever 22:35.143 --> 22:37.366 have to face this issue in the future . 22:37.366 --> 22:38.866 Thank you , Mr President . 22:42.340 --> 22:44.562 Thank you very much , Mr President . So 22:44.562 --> 22:46.729 again , just keeping on the theme that 22:46.729 --> 22:48.784 Dr Burke's had had mentioned This is 22:48.784 --> 22:50.951 the end of the week , that famous week 22:50.951 --> 22:52.951 that we spoke about last weekend in 22:52.951 --> 22:55.173 which we what actually was predicted to 22:55.173 --> 22:57.284 happen , happened was starting to see 22:57.284 --> 22:59.284 the leveling off in the coming down 22:59.284 --> 23:01.284 that Dr Burke's had mentioned . But 23:01.284 --> 23:03.920 it's important to remember that this is 23:03.920 --> 23:07.100 not the time to feel that since we have 23:07.100 --> 23:09.380 made such important advance in the 23:09.380 --> 23:12.960 sense of success of the mitigation that 23:12.960 --> 23:15.390 we need to be pulling back at all . I 23:15.390 --> 23:17.840 was actually harken by the fact that 23:17.840 --> 23:20.062 we've been talking about the New York , 23:20.062 --> 23:22.007 New Jersey , New Orleans and other 23:22.007 --> 23:24.340 areas where they have really big spikes . 23:24.450 --> 23:26.617 But there's other parts of the country 23:26.617 --> 23:28.839 in the middle parts of the country with 23:28.839 --> 23:28.770 their concern to make sure they don't 23:28.770 --> 23:30.992 get those spikes . And I really want to 23:30.992 --> 23:32.714 salute the governors of states 23:32.940 --> 23:35.051 throughout the entire United States . 23:35.051 --> 23:37.273 but particularly in the central part of 23:37.273 --> 23:38.940 the country , because the the 23:38.940 --> 23:40.996 governor's offer you see us in these 23:40.996 --> 23:43.162 press conferences , and I've had calls 23:43.162 --> 23:45.384 over the last several days from several 23:45.384 --> 23:45.230 of the governor's , you know , from 23:45.230 --> 23:47.341 Nebraska , Iowa , South Dakota , Utah 23:47.341 --> 23:49.680 Just about an hour and 1/2 ago , I 23:49.680 --> 23:51.902 spoke with the governors of Arkansas in 23:51.902 --> 23:54.060 Wyoming who are really committed to 23:54.060 --> 23:56.610 make sure that they don't get into the 23:56.610 --> 23:58.554 situation where they're gonna have 23:58.554 --> 24:00.554 spikes in their state , and they're 24:00.554 --> 24:02.554 doing the kinds of things that they 24:02.554 --> 24:04.554 don't get recognized because people 24:04.554 --> 24:06.554 don't talk about them much . But we 24:06.554 --> 24:08.832 have a big country . We have 50 states , 24:08.832 --> 24:10.943 and it's not only the big cities , so 24:10.943 --> 24:13.166 if we're gonna pull out of this , we're 24:13.166 --> 24:12.670 gonna pull out of it in the big cities 24:12.930 --> 24:14.986 and we gonna pull out of it in those 24:14.986 --> 24:17.263 areas that aren't as densely populated . 24:17.263 --> 24:19.430 And I just want to give a shout out to 24:19.430 --> 24:21.541 them . They're doing an extraordinary 24:21.541 --> 24:23.652 job . I was really pleasant , I would 24:23.652 --> 24:25.652 say surprised because I expected of 24:25.652 --> 24:27.874 this country , but to hear what they're 24:27.874 --> 24:29.986 doing and the commitment that they're 24:29.986 --> 24:32.152 putting into making sure that we don't 24:32.152 --> 24:34.374 have the kinds of situations that we've 24:34.374 --> 24:36.541 experienced . Unfortunately , in other 24:36.541 --> 24:38.763 areas , this is very important . I just 24:38.763 --> 24:40.708 want to close by one of the things 24:40.708 --> 24:42.930 something I mentioned yesterday and the 24:42.930 --> 24:44.874 day before that there are a lot of 24:44.874 --> 24:47.041 candidate interventions that air going 24:47.041 --> 24:49.263 into clinical trials . For those of you 24:49.263 --> 24:48.900 were interested in that , I recommend 24:48.900 --> 24:51.420 you go to clinical trials dot gov and 24:51.420 --> 24:53.420 you'll see the design of a clinical 24:53.420 --> 24:55.531 trial . And you see that many of them 24:55.531 --> 24:57.587 are the randomized controlled trials 24:57.900 --> 25:00.130 that are the really gold standard of 25:00.130 --> 25:02.074 how you find out whether something 25:02.074 --> 25:04.230 really is safe and effective . And as 25:04.230 --> 25:06.452 the weeks and months and it'll probably 25:06.452 --> 25:08.563 be months sometime in the summer will 25:08.563 --> 25:11.240 start to see which are working , which 25:11.240 --> 25:13.390 are not , and to focus on those that 25:13.390 --> 25:15.446 are we developing and well working . 25:15.446 --> 25:17.779 I'll be happy to answer questions later . 25:17.779 --> 25:16.590 Thank you . 25:22.310 --> 25:24.640 Thank you , Mr President , The White 25:24.640 --> 25:26.584 House , a task force has been very 25:26.584 --> 25:28.584 focused on increasing the supply of 25:28.584 --> 25:30.696 personal protective equipment for our 25:30.696 --> 25:32.751 great providers . I was one of those 25:32.751 --> 25:34.973 providers a few months ago , and , um , 25:34.973 --> 25:36.696 I can tell you nothing is more 25:36.696 --> 25:38.751 important than making sure they have 25:38.751 --> 25:40.529 what they need . So in order to 25:40.529 --> 25:42.640 increase the supply of and 95 masks , 25:42.640 --> 25:44.696 FDA has worked with industry and has 25:44.696 --> 25:46.980 now authorized two companies who will 25:46.980 --> 25:49.730 supply machines to sterilise in 5 95 25:49.730 --> 25:52.720 masks . Admiral Pull Up Check and FEMA 25:52.730 --> 25:54.619 are purchasing on behalf of U . S 25:54.619 --> 25:56.841 government 60 sterilization machines as 25:56.841 --> 25:58.952 mentioned by the president , and they 25:58.952 --> 26:01.063 will be positioned around the country 26:01.150 --> 26:03.261 to increase the amount of supply than 26:03.261 --> 26:06.060 95 masks . Each machine will be able to 26:06.060 --> 26:09.560 sterilize 80,095 mask and 95 mass per 26:09.560 --> 26:11.616 day and we hoped , actually increase 26:11.616 --> 26:14.110 that further . The vice president and 26:14.110 --> 26:16.221 the White House task force challenged 26:16.221 --> 26:19.730 us yesterday and we responded as a team . 26:19.730 --> 26:22.750 FDA issued revised guidance regarding 26:22.750 --> 26:25.240 the laundering of gowns because gowns 26:25.240 --> 26:27.240 or another issue in terms of supply 26:27.410 --> 26:29.632 that we're looking forward on . This is 26:29.632 --> 26:31.632 not something that normally happens 26:31.632 --> 26:33.577 around the country but issued this 26:33.577 --> 26:35.688 guidance . It's on our website now at 26:35.688 --> 26:37.854 FDA , so there's information about how 26:37.854 --> 26:37.540 hospitals can do that to increase the 26:37.540 --> 26:39.840 supply . We've heard concerns that 26:39.840 --> 26:42.007 maybe ah hospital might not want to do 26:42.007 --> 26:44.229 that because of regulations , and I can 26:44.229 --> 26:46.451 happy to tell you that administrative , 26:46.451 --> 26:48.284 Irma and I have worked on this . 26:48.284 --> 26:50.396 Certified providers and suppliers who 26:50.396 --> 26:52.740 follow FBI FDA guidance has posted on 26:52.740 --> 26:55.450 the website will be compliant with 26:55.450 --> 26:57.560 Medicare and Medicaid requirements . 26:58.440 --> 27:00.500 And then finally , last week , FDA 27:00.900 --> 27:03.990 provided guidance to manufacturers on 27:03.990 --> 27:06.530 manufacturing specifications for cloth 27:06.540 --> 27:08.484 gowns . This is another attempt to 27:08.484 --> 27:10.207 increase the number of gowns . 27:10.207 --> 27:12.429 Typically , it's plastic or other types 27:12.429 --> 27:14.670 of materials . And this guidance , if 27:14.670 --> 27:17.240 followed , can be used by manufacturers 27:17.240 --> 27:19.351 to actually make these gowns . And no 27:19.351 --> 27:21.351 further regulatory red tape will be 27:21.351 --> 27:22.962 necessary . They can go into 27:22.962 --> 27:25.073 circulation . Thank you . Thank you . 27:29.540 --> 27:31.430 Thank you , Mr President . Good 27:31.430 --> 27:33.486 afternoon , everyone . I started off 27:33.486 --> 27:35.708 the week talking about the challenge of 27:35.708 --> 27:37.763 the lie ahead , and I want to finish 27:37.763 --> 27:39.652 the week just by reiterating what 27:39.652 --> 27:41.597 you've heard . Mitigation works it 27:41.597 --> 27:43.708 definitive . Billy and quantitatively 27:43.708 --> 27:45.763 is working , and I want to say thank 27:45.763 --> 27:47.986 you to America for your efforts to help 27:47.986 --> 27:50.097 flatten the curve and to save lives . 27:50.097 --> 27:52.350 That but at the president's direction 27:52.740 --> 27:56.100 yesterday I met with 2000 Hispanic 27:56.100 --> 27:58.380 leaders from their communities , and 27:58.380 --> 28:00.600 today the vice president led a phone 28:00.600 --> 28:02.600 call that I was on with hundreds of 28:02.610 --> 28:04.832 African American leaders concluding the 28:04.832 --> 28:06.777 Reverend Jesse Jackson , including 28:06.777 --> 28:08.999 Derek Johnson of the N Double A . C P , 28:08.999 --> 28:10.721 including the National Medical 28:10.721 --> 28:12.554 Association and the Black Nurses 28:12.554 --> 28:14.777 Association , to talk about some of the 28:14.777 --> 28:16.499 alarming trends were observing 28:16.499 --> 28:18.554 regarding the impact of covert 19 on 28:18.554 --> 28:20.777 community of the color and you've heard 28:20.777 --> 28:23.820 the stats in New York City . Hispanics 28:24.350 --> 28:26.128 represent the majority of death 28:26.500 --> 28:28.722 Milwaukee County blacks , or 25% of the 28:28.722 --> 28:30.667 population , but almost 50% of the 28:30.667 --> 28:33.580 cases in 75% of the deaths . No . So 28:33.580 --> 28:36.050 what's going on ? Well , it's alarming , 28:36.520 --> 28:38.687 but it's not surprising that people of 28:38.687 --> 28:40.853 color have a greater burden of chronic 28:40.853 --> 28:42.909 health conditions . African American 28:42.909 --> 28:45.076 Native Americans , excuse me , develop 28:45.076 --> 28:47.409 high blood pressure , much younger ages , 28:47.409 --> 28:49.242 and so that's likely to be under 28:49.242 --> 28:51.409 control and does greater harm to their 28:51.409 --> 28:53.353 organs . Puerto Ricans have higher 28:53.353 --> 28:55.353 rates of asthma and black boys , or 28:55.353 --> 28:57.520 three times as likely to die of asthma 28:57.520 --> 28:57.480 is their white counterparts . As a 28:57.480 --> 28:59.740 matter of fact , I've been carrying 28:59.740 --> 29:02.500 around an inhaler in my pocket for 40 29:02.500 --> 29:04.910 years out of fear of having a fatal 29:04.910 --> 29:08.500 asthma attack , and I hope that showing 29:08.500 --> 29:10.722 you this inhaler shows little kids with 29:10.722 --> 29:12.833 Adam all across the country that they 29:12.833 --> 29:14.944 can grow up to be surgeon general one 29:14.944 --> 29:17.167 day . But I Maurin immediately share it 29:17.167 --> 29:19.056 so that everyone knows it doesn't 29:19.056 --> 29:21.111 matter if you look fit . If you look 29:21.111 --> 29:23.056 young , you were still at risk for 29:23.056 --> 29:25.111 getting and spreading and dying from 29:25.111 --> 29:27.167 Corona virus . The chronic burden of 29:27.167 --> 29:29.333 medical bills is likely to make people 29:29.333 --> 29:31.444 of color especially less resilient to 29:31.444 --> 29:33.222 the ravages of covert 19 and if 29:33.222 --> 29:35.640 possibly in fact likely that the burden 29:35.640 --> 29:37.640 of social ills is also contributing 29:38.040 --> 29:40.207 social different thing and teleworking 29:40.207 --> 29:42.151 we know were critical , and you've 29:42.151 --> 29:42.020 heard Dr Brooks and Dr Felt you talk 29:42.020 --> 29:44.076 about how they prevent the spread of 29:44.076 --> 29:46.076 Corona virus . Yet only one in five 29:46.076 --> 29:47.909 African Americans and one of six 29:47.909 --> 29:50.131 Hispanics has a job that lets them work 29:50.131 --> 29:52.076 from home people of color and more 29:52.076 --> 29:54.242 likely to live in densely packed areas 29:54.242 --> 29:56.187 and in multigenerational housing , 29:56.187 --> 29:58.242 which situations which create higher 29:58.242 --> 29:57.910 rift for spread of a highly contagious 29:57.910 --> 30:00.560 disease like cove in 19 we tell people 30:00.560 --> 30:02.449 to wash their hands , but a study 30:02.449 --> 30:04.338 showed 30% of the homes on Navajo 30:04.338 --> 30:06.393 Nation don't have running water . So 30:06.393 --> 30:08.449 how were they going to do that ? And 30:08.449 --> 30:10.449 summery people of color experienced 30:10.449 --> 30:13.400 both more likely exposure to covert 19 30:13.580 --> 30:15.691 and increased complications from it . 30:15.691 --> 30:17.920 But let me be crystal clear . We do not 30:17.920 --> 30:20.087 think people of color are biologically 30:20.087 --> 30:22.253 or genetically predisposed to get Cove 30:22.253 --> 30:24.253 in 19 . There is nothing inherently 30:24.253 --> 30:26.420 wrong with you , but they are socially 30:26.420 --> 30:28.420 predisposed a corona virus disposed 30:28.420 --> 30:30.642 exposure and to have a higher incidence 30:30.642 --> 30:32.698 of the very diseases that put you at 30:32.698 --> 30:34.920 risk for severe complications of Corona 30:34.920 --> 30:36.809 virus . But if the vice president 30:36.809 --> 30:38.976 shared on the call this morning , this 30:38.976 --> 30:41.087 history and I want you to hear me say 30:41.087 --> 30:41.030 this , it does not have to be our 30:41.030 --> 30:43.350 nation's future . We're taking steps 30:43.350 --> 30:45.294 now in the midst of the Cove in 19 30:45.294 --> 30:47.190 Pandemic to reach , protect and 30:47.190 --> 30:49.357 strengthen all communities impacted by 30:49.357 --> 30:51.134 this disease and especially our 30:51.134 --> 30:53.134 communities of color . More details 30:53.134 --> 30:54.912 will be forthcoming , but we're 30:54.912 --> 30:57.079 actively working of the vice president 30:57.079 --> 30:59.301 of the CDC director laid out today data 30:59.301 --> 31:01.079 collection targeted outreach to 31:01.079 --> 31:03.079 communities of color and increasing 31:03.079 --> 31:05.134 financial , employment , education , 31:05.134 --> 31:07.301 housing , social and health supports , 31:07.301 --> 31:09.412 so that everybody have unequal chance 31:09.412 --> 31:11.579 to be healthy . And I want to close by 31:11.579 --> 31:13.690 thing that while your state and local 31:13.690 --> 31:15.801 health departments and those of us in 31:15.801 --> 31:17.746 public service are working day and 31:17.746 --> 31:19.968 night to help stop the spread of covert 31:19.968 --> 31:21.968 19 and to protect you regardless of 31:21.968 --> 31:21.280 your color , Your creator , your 31:21.280 --> 31:24.170 geography . I need you to know you are 31:24.170 --> 31:26.230 not helpless , and it's even more 31:26.230 --> 31:28.452 important than in community the color . 31:28.452 --> 31:30.730 We adhere to the task force guidelines 31:30.820 --> 31:34.260 to slow the spread . Stay at home if 31:34.260 --> 31:36.100 possible . If you must go out , 31:36.100 --> 31:38.211 maintain six feet of distance between 31:38.211 --> 31:40.433 you and everyone else and wear a mask . 31:40.433 --> 31:42.544 If you're going to be within six feet 31:42.544 --> 31:44.711 of others , wash your hands more often 31:44.711 --> 31:46.878 than you ever dreamed possible . Avoid 31:46.878 --> 31:49.044 alcohol , tobacco and drugs , and call 31:49.044 --> 31:51.156 your friends and family . Check in on 31:51.156 --> 31:53.211 your mother .

This epidemic of the 32:15.623 --> 32:17.623 tragedy but it will be all the more 32:17.623 --> 32:19.512 tragic if we fail to recognize an 32:19.512 --> 32:21.623 address , the disproportionate impact 32:21.623 --> 32:23.568 of covert 19 and an array of other 32:23.568 --> 32:25.734 diseases and risk factors on community 32:25.734 --> 32:27.846 of the color , the task force in this 32:27.846 --> 32:29.901 administration are determined not to 32:29.901 --> 32:32.012 let that happen .

S public health Service , FDA 33:19.690 --> 33:21.820 and all those that are literally 33:21.820 --> 33:24.042 working on your behalf around the clock 33:24.740 --> 33:26.907 to partner with States Department with 33:26.907 --> 33:29.760 local health officials and Mr President , 33:29.760 --> 33:31.840 allow me to add my my thanks and 33:31.840 --> 33:34.860 admiration all of the entire team here 33:34.870 --> 33:37.310 at the federal level on this good 33:37.310 --> 33:39.960 Friday . We we remember those who have 33:39.960 --> 33:42.127 lost their lives to the Corona virus . 33:43.120 --> 33:45.630 We remember their families are 33:45.630 --> 33:47.686 dedicated health care workers in our 33:47.686 --> 33:50.100 first responders , and we do well on 33:50.100 --> 33:52.660 this special day for Christians across 33:52.660 --> 33:55.000 this country , too . Remember them in 33:55.000 --> 33:57.990 our prayers . But as you just heard 33:57.990 --> 34:00.157 from Dr Burke's and from the experts , 34:00.640 --> 34:03.760 also a good day to remember that Good 34:03.760 --> 34:06.080 Friday is always followed by Easter 34:06.080 --> 34:09.710 Sunday . And there is hope . There's 34:09.710 --> 34:11.766 hope in this moment that , thanks to 34:11.766 --> 34:13.710 what the American people are doing 34:13.710 --> 34:15.932 every day , adhering to the president's 34:15.932 --> 34:18.043 Corona virus guidelines for America , 34:18.043 --> 34:20.154 thanks to the fact that Americans are 34:20.154 --> 34:22.210 listening to state and local leaders 34:22.210 --> 34:24.377 and putting the health of their family 34:24.377 --> 34:26.377 members and neighbors first , we're 34:26.377 --> 34:28.543 getting there , America . We're making 34:28.543 --> 34:30.710 progress . But it's imperative that we 34:30.710 --> 34:32.766 all continue to implement all of the 34:32.766 --> 34:34.766 guidance in the 30 days to slow the 34:34.766 --> 34:36.780 spread as a certain general just to 34:36.780 --> 34:38.947 test it at the president's direction . 34:38.947 --> 34:41.320 We engaged more than 400 leaders in the 34:41.320 --> 34:43.376 African American community today and 34:43.376 --> 34:45.610 allow me to express my appreciation for 34:45.610 --> 34:47.666 their leadership in their efforts in 34:47.666 --> 34:50.260 communicating to African Americans and 34:50.270 --> 34:52.326 other minority populations . Some of 34:52.326 --> 34:54.159 the unique challenges that those 34:54.159 --> 34:56.630 communities face in the midst of this 34:56.630 --> 34:59.320 epidemic , the CDC is , the surgeon 34:59.320 --> 35:01.431 general said , is working on not only 35:01.431 --> 35:03.542 studying the issue but very rapidly . 35:03.542 --> 35:05.690 Issuing new guidance on will be 35:05.690 --> 35:07.857 communicating that new guidance to all 35:07.857 --> 35:10.300 of those great leaders . On the subject 35:10.300 --> 35:13.080 of testing and supplies , the president 35:13.090 --> 35:15.146 gave a great amount of detail . More 35:15.146 --> 35:18.070 than two point one million tests have 35:18.070 --> 35:20.292 been performed that we continue to work 35:20.292 --> 35:22.810 very , very closely with FDA and 35:22.810 --> 35:24.977 suppliers around the country to expand 35:24.977 --> 35:27.088 the ability of testing . And you just 35:27.088 --> 35:29.088 heard Dr Hahn reflect on the fact . 35:29.088 --> 35:31.421 Very soon we will have an antibody test . 35:31.730 --> 35:33.452 Americans will be able to take 35:33.452 --> 35:35.452 determine whether they ever had the 35:35.452 --> 35:39.070 Corona virus . I spoke today to the 35:39.120 --> 35:41.176 governor of Colorado , Jared Pulis . 35:41.600 --> 35:44.380 We've been in contact with Senator Cory 35:44.380 --> 35:47.830 Gardner about an outbreak at 35:47.840 --> 35:51.470 a a particular meatpacking facility 35:51.720 --> 35:54.360 in the Colorado area , but this time 35:54.360 --> 35:56.790 our team is working with the governor 35:56.790 --> 35:59.012 and working with Senator to ensure that 35:59.012 --> 36:01.200 we flow . Testing resource is at this 36:01.200 --> 36:02.922 point there are some 14 people 36:02.922 --> 36:05.260 hospitalized . Maybe 2 to 300 of the 36:05.260 --> 36:08.430 workforce have been impacted , and 36:09.290 --> 36:11.123 we spoke about providing those . 36:11.123 --> 36:13.179 Resource is this weekend . I want to 36:13.179 --> 36:15.234 encourage people in Colorado that we 36:15.234 --> 36:17.234 will . We will work to support that 36:17.234 --> 36:19.600 effort . But I also want to emphasize 36:19.600 --> 36:21.822 that all the people that are working in 36:21.822 --> 36:23.860 food supply , from farmers to 36:23.870 --> 36:25.814 meatpackers , to distributors , to 36:25.814 --> 36:29.260 truckers to grocers continue to have 36:29.260 --> 36:31.500 our gratitude as President Trump . That 36:31.500 --> 36:34.070 said , just a few moments ago on 36:34.070 --> 36:36.320 supplies , more than five billion have 36:36.320 --> 36:39.130 been obligated to the state's 29,600 36:39.130 --> 36:41.640 National Guard have been activated on 36:41.650 --> 36:43.650 at the president's direction . More 36:43.650 --> 36:45.760 than 4700 active duty military 36:45.760 --> 36:48.310 personnel have been deployed medical 36:48.310 --> 36:51.020 military personnel in nine states 36:51.250 --> 36:52.917 focusing on the areas of most 36:52.917 --> 36:55.440 significant epidemic airbridge . 36:56.290 --> 36:59.440 26 flights have been completed .

Continue to provide 37:32.134 --> 37:34.540 for the needs of your members . There 37:34.540 --> 37:36.610 have been there been food drives , 37:36.610 --> 37:40.030 there , been phone calls and ministry 37:40.030 --> 37:42.252 has continued , and we are grateful for 37:42.252 --> 37:44.720 the role on this holy week that our 37:44.720 --> 37:46.776 churches , our synagogues and all of 37:46.776 --> 37:49.720 our houses of worship have played on 37:49.720 --> 37:51.831 their behalf . Allow me to remind you 37:51.831 --> 37:54.240 that even if you're not in the pew this 37:54.900 --> 37:57.080 Easter Sunday , if you are able , it's 37:57.080 --> 37:59.080 still a good idea to give . Because 37:59.080 --> 38:01.302 those ministries continue to go forward 38:01.470 --> 38:03.692 and we encourage you . We encourage you 38:03.692 --> 38:06.200 to continue to support them . We also 38:06.200 --> 38:08.422 want to say very respectfully to all of 38:08.422 --> 38:10.533 the all the church communities around 38:10.533 --> 38:12.422 this country on all the places of 38:12.422 --> 38:14.640 worship to continue to heed the 38:14.640 --> 38:17.340 guidelines issued in the president's 38:17.490 --> 38:19.601 Corona Virus Guidelines for America . 38:20.020 --> 38:22.187 We know it's difficult in this time of 38:22.187 --> 38:24.298 year , particularly Mr President , to 38:24.298 --> 38:26.560 avoid gatherings of more than 10 but 38:26.560 --> 38:28.790 we're grateful that so many churches , 38:28.790 --> 38:31.210 synagogues and places of worship I have 38:31.210 --> 38:33.160 done just that and we urge you to 38:33.160 --> 38:36.000 continue to do it , and to my Christian 38:36.000 --> 38:38.333 brothers and sisters across the country . 38:38.333 --> 38:40.444 Let me encourage you with the words . 38:40.444 --> 38:42.444 We should all remember that .

Thank 38:58.930 --> 39:02.620 you . Okay . It's good Friday . Let's 39:02.620 --> 39:05.320 be nice . Okay , Let's be real nice . 39:06.610 --> 39:08.666 President , can you clarify a little 39:08.666 --> 39:11.540 bit of what the U . S . Offer to Mexico 39:11.740 --> 39:13.851 in or disagree that oil deal and then 39:13.851 --> 39:15.796 also go into detail about what you 39:15.796 --> 39:17.684 spoke about on oil with President 39:17.684 --> 39:19.907 that's full of the OPEC nations met and 39:19.907 --> 39:21.980 others . And they're all agreeing to 39:21.980 --> 39:24.091 cut back because there's a tremendous 39:24.091 --> 39:26.258 flood . We don't even we're filling up 39:26.258 --> 39:28.424 our strategic reserves . We don't even 39:28.424 --> 39:30.313 have room to store it . In fact , 39:30.313 --> 39:32.647 they're using ships to store oil . It's , 39:32.647 --> 39:34.758 uh , there's never been anything like 39:34.758 --> 39:36.869 this . Uh , it was being overproduced 39:36.869 --> 39:38.924 to start off with . And then you had 39:38.924 --> 39:41.147 the virus , and that took off 40% right 39:41.147 --> 39:43.313 there . So we have . There's a glut of 39:43.313 --> 39:45.369 oil like nobody's ever seen before . 39:45.369 --> 39:47.536 It's good in many ways , and depending 39:47.536 --> 39:49.647 on where you are , who you are , it's 39:49.647 --> 39:51.536 bad . We have a tremendous energy 39:51.536 --> 39:53.702 business with hundreds of thousands of 39:53.702 --> 39:55.813 jobs . Were doing great number one in 39:55.813 --> 39:57.869 the world . So they all got together 39:57.869 --> 39:59.702 and they said We're gonna cut it 39:59.702 --> 40:01.647 because we have to get rid of this 40:01.647 --> 40:03.758 tremendous supply . Now the good news 40:03.758 --> 40:06.150 is gasoline prices . I'm seeing 90 40:06.150 --> 40:08.820 cents 85 cents different parts of the 40:08.820 --> 40:10.980 country a gallon . Nobody's ever seen 40:10.980 --> 40:13.091 that . I guess you have to go back to 40:13.091 --> 40:15.258 the 19 fifties without the big , large 40:15.258 --> 40:17.258 dollar bills . Remember , you don't 40:17.258 --> 40:19.258 remember you're too young , but the 40:19.258 --> 40:21.313 fact that you have to go back a long 40:21.313 --> 40:23.536 ways to see it so there's some good The 40:23.536 --> 40:23.440 airlines are trying to come back . 40:23.450 --> 40:26.070 Having low fuel costs is good for them 40:26.430 --> 40:28.486 are the reason steel manufacturing . 40:28.486 --> 40:30.708 But a lot of the steel goes to building 40:30.710 --> 40:33.080 what we do for the oil and engineering 40:33.080 --> 40:35.560 firm . So you know that za double edged 40:35.560 --> 40:39.330 sword . But it's , uh , it's we want to 40:39.330 --> 40:41.330 keep our energy . We want to remain 40:41.330 --> 40:42.941 independent . We will remain 40:42.941 --> 40:44.997 independent , I think , regardless , 40:44.997 --> 40:46.719 but we want to get rid of this 40:46.719 --> 40:48.886 tremendous overflow . There's no place 40:48.886 --> 40:51.052 to even store it . So the OPEC nations 40:51.052 --> 40:53.219 met . They've been meeting , and , you 40:53.219 --> 40:55.163 know , I've hated OPEC over the is 40:55.163 --> 40:57.386 absolutely hated him , but obviously it 40:57.386 --> 40:59.441 broke down , and we potentially have 40:59.441 --> 41:01.330 years worth of supply a long time 41:01.330 --> 41:03.552 before ever can catch up , even if they 41:03.552 --> 41:05.608 do reduce it . And they agreed . But 41:05.608 --> 41:07.830 Mexico didn't agree . It was one of the 41:07.830 --> 41:09.997 few countries that didn't agree . This 41:09.997 --> 41:11.886 OPEC , plus OPEC , plus countries 41:11.886 --> 41:14.690 outside you understand , and Mexico 41:15.200 --> 41:17.200 didn't agree , and I understand the 41:17.200 --> 41:19.256 president very well . He has a level 41:19.256 --> 41:21.367 when he came in and he wanted to keep 41:21.367 --> 41:23.589 it at that level . Oil is important for 41:23.589 --> 41:25.367 Mexico . The problem is , and I 41:25.367 --> 41:25.120 explained it very strongly , you're 41:25.120 --> 41:28.570 gonna be selling it for $5 or $10 a 41:28.570 --> 41:31.750 barrel . So in the end it's bad . But 41:31.750 --> 41:34.600 he did have some political difficulty 41:34.600 --> 41:36.656 with it , frankly , and I understand 41:36.656 --> 41:39.020 that , too , and it's a small amount 41:39.030 --> 41:40.919 for us . It's a large amount from 41:40.919 --> 41:43.030 Mexico , but it's a very small amount 41:43.030 --> 41:45.252 for the United States being the biggest 41:45.252 --> 41:47.419 producer . So I agreed to pick up some 41:47.419 --> 41:49.308 of the slack , so he was going to 41:49.308 --> 41:51.510 reduce it by 100,000 barrels , reduces 41:51.520 --> 41:54.130 output by 100,000 barrels . And I was 41:54.130 --> 41:56.297 gonna pick up the slack and they would 41:56.297 --> 41:58.519 make it up to us at a later date . They 41:58.519 --> 42:00.519 would make up what we're doing at a 42:00.519 --> 42:02.741 later date . It could be in a different 42:02.741 --> 42:04.908 form , and I don't know whether or not 42:04.908 --> 42:07.186 that's going for Mexico was acceptable . 42:07.186 --> 42:09.130 I don't know whether or not that's 42:09.130 --> 42:11.186 gonna be acceptable to the other oil 42:11.186 --> 42:13.297 producing nations will find out . But 42:13.297 --> 42:13.240 it's something that would certainly be 42:13.240 --> 42:16.100 acceptable to me to get it over the 42:16.100 --> 42:19.070 back . So Mexico is going to reduce by 42:19.130 --> 42:22.550 100,000 barrels . And that would mean 42:22.550 --> 42:25.250 that there 250 to 300 barrels should 42:25.260 --> 42:27.204 we'd make up the difference , They 42:27.204 --> 42:29.260 would reimburse us at a later date . 42:29.260 --> 42:31.593 Okay . You mean the difference by U . S . 42:31.593 --> 42:33.427 Production by cutting some U . S 42:33.427 --> 42:35.649 production now the U . S . Production's 42:35.649 --> 42:37.871 already been cut because we're a market 42:37.871 --> 42:40.150 driven economy and oil is very market 42:40.150 --> 42:42.317 driven . They've been cutting well all 42:42.317 --> 42:44.594 over the place . We're cutting it back . 42:44.594 --> 42:46.594 And what does it mean , really ? It 42:46.594 --> 42:48.817 means we haven't in the ground . We can 42:48.817 --> 42:50.928 use it now we have a lot of We have a 42:50.928 --> 42:50.780 lot of ground with a lot of oil . And 42:50.790 --> 42:52.901 when I think we're number one in that 42:52.901 --> 42:54.623 two were probably number one , 42:54.623 --> 42:56.846 especially with Anwar . As you know , I 42:56.846 --> 42:58.734 got anywhere approved in Alaska . 42:58.734 --> 43:00.512 That's one of the biggest finds 43:00.512 --> 43:00.110 anywhere in the world . So when you add 43:00.110 --> 43:02.054 it all up , I think we're probably 43:02.054 --> 43:04.388 number one . Even in what we have under , 43:04.388 --> 43:06.760 we're very lucky we were . We grew up 43:06.760 --> 43:08.760 in a land that was rich in a lot of 43:08.760 --> 43:10.900 ways , but also rich because it has a 43:10.900 --> 43:14.020 lot of oil underneath oil and gas and , 43:14.020 --> 43:16.076 as you know , natural gas . L N G is 43:16.076 --> 43:18.270 all over the country now at a very low 43:18.270 --> 43:21.680 price . And our carbon are our 43:21.690 --> 43:24.660 atmosphere are the level of 43:24.660 --> 43:26.890 environmental cleanliness is at its all 43:26.890 --> 43:29.110 time best write down all time best 43:29.800 --> 43:31.911 because we are using a lot of natural 43:31.911 --> 43:34.360 gas . But we have many forms of energy , 43:34.370 --> 43:36.800 including some of the newer forms that 43:36.810 --> 43:39.250 people want to see us go to . We have a 43:39.250 --> 43:41.361 lot of different forms of energy when 43:41.361 --> 43:43.583 number one in the world we want to keep 43:43.583 --> 43:45.694 it that way . So we're helping Mexico 43:45.694 --> 43:48.360 out . We will be reimbursed in a form 43:48.740 --> 43:51.600 sometime in the future . I'll ask you 43:51.600 --> 43:53.767 about the new federal projections in a 43:53.767 --> 43:56.044 moment . But first , today you tweeted . 43:56.044 --> 43:58.044 The invisible Enemy will soon be in 43:58.044 --> 43:59.989 full retreat , given its invisible 43:59.989 --> 44:02.156 without widespread testing . How would 44:02.156 --> 44:04.211 you know ? Well , I think that we're 44:04.211 --> 44:06.211 going to have it in retreat with it 44:06.211 --> 44:08.378 will be today . No tomorrow ? No . But 44:08.378 --> 44:10.433 it will be at a certain point in the 44:10.433 --> 44:12.433 not too distant future , it will be 44:12.433 --> 44:14.433 done about the widespread testing . 44:14.433 --> 44:16.544 Specifically ? No , no , no . Because 44:16.544 --> 44:16.490 people are gonna go to the hospital . 44:16.490 --> 44:18.601 People aren't gonna get sick . You're 44:18.601 --> 44:20.546 going to know that with that . But 44:20.546 --> 44:20.270 we're going to do very substantial 44:20.270 --> 44:22.214 testing . We're doing more testing 44:22.214 --> 44:24.437 right now than any other country in the 44:24.437 --> 44:26.659 world by far . And if you would like to 44:26.659 --> 44:26.580 have that question and you'll have the 44:26.590 --> 44:28.770 professional answer it , Debra , 44:28.780 --> 44:31.010 perhaps you could come up . We're doing 44:31.010 --> 44:33.070 tremendous testing , but you'll know 44:33.250 --> 44:35.083 you're gonna know before anybody 44:35.083 --> 44:36.972 because you're gonna see nobody's 44:36.972 --> 44:39.250 getting sick anymore . It will be gone , 44:39.250 --> 44:39.020 and it won't be that much longer . Go 44:39.150 --> 44:42.270 ask about projections . Thank you . sir 44:42.270 --> 44:45.040 President . So the testing . I want to 44:45.050 --> 44:47.217 reemphasize about what kind of testing 44:47.217 --> 44:49.383 we're talking about . This is our in a 44:49.383 --> 44:52.450 diagnostic testing that is the platform 44:52.460 --> 44:54.349 that was built to respond to this 44:54.349 --> 44:57.110 epidemic . It is the same platform that 44:57.110 --> 45:00.570 we utilize for HIV viral loads on DSO . 45:00.570 --> 45:03.010 Many HIV clients have also given up 45:03.020 --> 45:05.187 their space on the machines toe . Have 45:05.187 --> 45:07.353 these tests run for all of Americans ? 45:07.390 --> 45:10.810 This essay is complicated . Um , it's 45:10.810 --> 45:13.680 not like an ass say that you have for 45:13.680 --> 45:16.050 your other diseases your strep test or 45:16.050 --> 45:18.106 other diseases like that . This is a 45:18.106 --> 45:20.730 very complicated essay that requires on 45:20.730 --> 45:22.952 a lot of technical oversight . And it's 45:22.952 --> 45:25.500 part of the reason why not all 100% our 45:25.510 --> 45:27.732 machines are running at full capacity . 45:27.732 --> 45:29.788 But we had great discussion with the 45:29.788 --> 45:32.110 lab directors about that every dame or 45:32.110 --> 45:34.450 are brought online . And so but I think 45:34.450 --> 45:37.370 we have to create expectations of what 45:37.380 --> 45:40.140 the daily tests rates will be . Last 45:40.140 --> 45:42.530 year , we probably did three million 45:42.600 --> 45:45.210 HIV viral loads or four million HIV 45:45.220 --> 45:48.030 viral loads . As a country , we've done 45:48.030 --> 45:51.310 over to almost 2.2 million in four 45:51.310 --> 45:54.110 weeks , So this is unprecedented and 45:54.110 --> 45:56.332 what we have to do . I think that's why 45:56.332 --> 45:58.610 we're working very hard for two pieces , 45:58.610 --> 46:00.610 and I want to make sure that people 46:00.610 --> 46:02.777 understand testing is just part of our 46:02.777 --> 46:04.610 strategy . The other part of the 46:04.610 --> 46:07.040 strategy has to be this syndrome make 46:07.040 --> 46:08.984 and influenza like illness , where 46:08.984 --> 46:11.600 there's an alert to an illness , and so 46:11.600 --> 46:14.330 that were surveying where we know the 46:14.330 --> 46:16.497 most vulnerable cases have appeared in 46:16.497 --> 46:18.441 the great call that I had with the 46:18.441 --> 46:20.163 mayor's and with on the health 46:20.163 --> 46:22.330 officials yesterday and mayors today , 46:22.330 --> 46:24.500 Ah , lot of the rural areas , their 46:24.500 --> 46:26.667 primary and as it was in Washington in 46:26.667 --> 46:28.889 California , was at the nursing homes . 46:28.889 --> 46:31.470 So the issue is to build a testing 46:31.470 --> 46:34.850 strategy that speaks to our strength of 46:34.850 --> 46:37.480 laser , focusing a strategic approach 46:37.480 --> 46:39.313 to testing when we know what our 46:39.313 --> 46:41.536 volumes are on the increase every day . 46:41.536 --> 46:43.702 But we have to be realistic about what 46:43.702 --> 46:45.980 the volumes will be a week , two weeks , 46:45.980 --> 46:48.202 three weeks from now , and combine that 46:48.202 --> 46:50.202 with strategic surveillance so that 46:50.202 --> 46:52.520 we're testing symptomatic people and 46:52.520 --> 46:54.687 their contacts very quickly to go back 46:54.687 --> 46:56.910 to contact tracing , utilizing our 46:56.910 --> 46:59.021 complete strategy , and I think we're 46:59.021 --> 47:01.021 very much interested . It's why the 47:01.021 --> 47:03.243 president three weeks ago really put us 47:03.243 --> 47:05.243 on getting an antibody test , and I 47:05.243 --> 47:07.520 think I called from the podium for our 47:07.520 --> 47:09.576 university colleagues and you defend 47:09.580 --> 47:11.900 hospitals to begin an ELISA based test 47:11.900 --> 47:13.844 cause that's a blood draw . But we 47:13.844 --> 47:16.067 really wanted a finger prick to make it 47:16.067 --> 47:18.067 easy and deployable . That's what's 47:18.067 --> 47:20.122 being worked on now . Of course , we 47:20.122 --> 47:22.930 don't wanna promise until we have it , 47:23.390 --> 47:25.501 because I think we deserve that . The 47:25.501 --> 47:27.723 American people deserve that toe . Have 47:27.723 --> 47:29.890 a test that is efficient to let people 47:29.890 --> 47:32.112 know who's been positive for immunity . 47:32.112 --> 47:34.223 That's critical to epidemiologist and 47:34.223 --> 47:36.310 public health officials to know what 47:36.310 --> 47:39.020 the penetrates of a virus waas into a 47:39.020 --> 47:41.170 community when all you're seeing are 47:41.170 --> 47:43.520 the serious cases and testing the most 47:43.520 --> 47:45.780 symptomatic . And so that's a question 47:45.780 --> 47:48.002 that we still have . Is this the tip of 47:48.002 --> 47:50.960 the iceberg , or is this half the 47:50.960 --> 47:53.200 iceberg or 3/4 of the iceberg ? What we 47:53.200 --> 47:55.580 have seen to date and we have , I just 47:55.580 --> 47:59.250 wantto complete the thought by saying , 47:59.490 --> 48:01.780 in the areas where we had an outbreak , 48:02.500 --> 48:05.320 these large Metro's Louisiana , Denver , 48:05.330 --> 48:07.440 Detroit , Chicago , New York , New 48:07.440 --> 48:10.240 Jersey , but per capita , we've done 48:10.240 --> 48:12.600 more tests than any other place in the 48:12.600 --> 48:14.489 world . That was intentional . We 48:14.489 --> 48:17.170 focused the test where within need was 48:17.170 --> 48:19.392 the greatest in the burden of disease , 48:19.392 --> 48:21.559 the greatest . And now we're trying to 48:21.559 --> 48:24.150 really see how strategically that very 48:24.150 --> 48:26.070 valuable resource can be utilized 48:26.070 --> 48:28.292 around the countries to create a mosaic 48:28.292 --> 48:30.514 of testing combined with surveillance . 48:30.880 --> 48:32.547 I asked about the new federal 48:32.547 --> 48:34.602 projections . There's your reporting 48:34.602 --> 48:36.602 today . The new federal projections 48:36.602 --> 48:39.400 suggest Linda like dust you can about 48:39.400 --> 48:41.233 the new federal projections that 48:41.233 --> 48:43.400 suggests lifting the 30 day shelter in 48:43.400 --> 48:46.230 place orders would lead to a spike in 48:46.230 --> 48:48.320 infections . Have you seen those new 48:48.320 --> 48:50.264 projections from your department , 48:50.264 --> 48:52.320 Homeland Security and HHS ? When did 48:52.320 --> 48:54.320 they say this would take place when 48:54.320 --> 48:56.431 they thought that it would take place 48:56.431 --> 48:58.598 if the 30 day shelter in place were to 48:58.598 --> 49:00.542 be removed ? Their three different 49:00.542 --> 49:03.750 examples . Doctor , you're thinking I 49:04.070 --> 49:06.126 haven't seen . I guess you're saying 49:06.126 --> 49:08.181 they I guess they leaked it to NBC . 49:08.220 --> 49:10.331 Didn't leak it . Toss it being more . 49:10.331 --> 49:12.553 Nobody's seen it , and they're the ones 49:12.553 --> 49:14.553 who do it . So ministrations last . 49:14.553 --> 49:16.776 It's from the HHS and DOJ . I'll circle 49:16.776 --> 49:18.998 back , find out they don't know about , 49:18.998 --> 49:21.780 So I'm trying to say something . First 49:21.780 --> 49:24.990 of all , I haven't seen that quote on 49:24.990 --> 49:27.310 that . But that's okay . I still 49:27.310 --> 49:29.421 haven't seen I've been here all day . 49:31.160 --> 49:33.104 So what I think , but that they're 49:33.104 --> 49:35.327 talking about is that whenever you pull 49:35.327 --> 49:37.493 back , you would expect that you might 49:37.493 --> 49:39.660 start seeing cases and what we've been 49:39.660 --> 49:41.660 talking about . What Dr Burke's has 49:41.660 --> 49:43.660 just mentioned is that when you see 49:43.660 --> 49:45.549 that , that's where you want your 49:45.549 --> 49:47.771 resources to be ableto very efficiently 49:47.771 --> 49:49.827 in real time . Identify , isolate in 49:49.827 --> 49:51.938 contact . Trace . So don't let anyone 49:51.938 --> 49:54.990 get any false ideas that when we decide 49:55.670 --> 49:57.860 at a proper time , when we're gonna be 49:57.870 --> 49:59.870 relaxing some of the restrictions , 50:00.160 --> 50:02.493 there's no doubt you're gonna see cases . 50:02.493 --> 50:04.604 I would be so surprised if we did not 50:04.604 --> 50:06.604 see cases . The question is how you 50:06.604 --> 50:08.716 respond to them . I think that's what 50:08.716 --> 50:10.827 they were referring to . Question the 50:10.827 --> 50:10.460 president . Should Americans have to 50:10.470 --> 50:13.360 decide between staying healthy and 50:13.360 --> 50:15.360 going back to work ? Look , I think 50:15.360 --> 50:17.582 we're going to do both . We're gonna go 50:17.582 --> 50:19.638 back to work and we're going to stay 50:19.638 --> 50:21.860 healthy . And staying healthy is also a 50:21.860 --> 50:24.027 proportion . If you look at what we're 50:24.027 --> 50:26.082 doing , we're looking at a date . We 50:26.082 --> 50:28.193 hope we're gonna be able to fulfill a 50:28.193 --> 50:30.138 certain date . But we're not doing 50:30.138 --> 50:31.971 anything until we know that this 50:31.971 --> 50:31.510 country is going to be healthy . We 50:31.510 --> 50:33.621 don't want to go back and start doing 50:33.621 --> 50:35.843 it over again , even though it would be 50:35.843 --> 50:37.788 in a smaller scale yet . Jeff , go 50:37.788 --> 50:39.843 ahead . Just follow up on question . 50:39.860 --> 50:41.916 President Mexico says that you would 50:41.916 --> 50:43.749 agree that the U . S . Would cut 50:43.749 --> 50:45.971 production by 250,000 barrels per day . 50:45.971 --> 50:47.916 Is that what you agreed ? Yes , we 50:47.916 --> 50:50.138 would , uh , which we've already done , 50:50.138 --> 50:52.193 by the way . But we would agree to a 50:52.193 --> 50:54.360 reduction cut . They would agree to do 50:54.360 --> 50:56.249 something to compensate us in the 50:56.249 --> 50:58.890 future . Did you make any assurances to 50:58.890 --> 51:01.310 Saudi Arabia that you , the United 51:01.310 --> 51:03.088 States , would not bail out oil 51:03.088 --> 51:05.480 drillers here ? We didn't discuss that 51:05.480 --> 51:07.591 with Saudi Arabia . We just discussed 51:07.591 --> 51:09.702 the numbers that we discussed , who's 51:09.702 --> 51:11.924 opposed and who's not . And pretty much 51:11.924 --> 51:13.924 everybody is in favor of it because 51:13.924 --> 51:16.147 they're getting clobbered . They're all 51:16.147 --> 51:15.970 getting collaborate . All of those 51:15.970 --> 51:18.137 countries are having problems . If you 51:18.137 --> 51:20.026 look at Saudi Arabia , that's the 51:20.026 --> 51:22.081 source of income , primary source of 51:22.081 --> 51:24.192 income by far so they want to do it . 51:24.192 --> 51:26.192 Russia wants to do it , Theo . OPEC 51:26.192 --> 51:28.303 nations want to do it . They all want 51:28.303 --> 51:30.470 to do it , so we'll see what happens . 51:30.470 --> 51:32.692 There's a difference between wanting to 51:32.692 --> 51:34.692 do it and doing it . You go ahead . 51:34.692 --> 51:36.980 Okay , Mr President , this is a 51:36.990 --> 51:39.212 national question . Back to Venezuela . 51:42.360 --> 51:44.710 Your administration has placed a $15 51:44.710 --> 51:47.380 million bounty on Venezuela's Nicolas 51:47.380 --> 51:49.980 Maduro . And we have news this morning 51:49.990 --> 51:52.640 that President she is talking with 51:52.650 --> 51:54.428 Nicolas Maduro , expressing his 51:54.428 --> 51:56.372 financial support for materials to 51:56.372 --> 51:58.670 questions one . Have you discussed with 51:58.680 --> 52:01.830 Dr She ? Our President Xi ? You're the 52:01.840 --> 52:05.420 U . S . Policy on Majora and two are 52:05.540 --> 52:08.350 what this house affect us . Possible 52:08.360 --> 52:11.690 way will not be happy if that takes 52:11.690 --> 52:14.210 place . I have not spoken to President 52:14.210 --> 52:16.321 Xi of China , about Venezuela , about 52:16.321 --> 52:18.720 that aspect of Venezuela . But if that 52:18.720 --> 52:20.720 took place , we will not be happy . 52:20.720 --> 52:22.942 Okay ? I will not be your concern . But 52:22.942 --> 52:26.530 he's okay . Another thing . I'm 52:26.530 --> 52:28.752 concerned about everything . That's why 52:28.752 --> 52:31.520 I don't sleep a lot . I get myself 52:31.520 --> 52:33.600 concerned about everything , but I 52:33.600 --> 52:35.544 would not be happy about that . Go 52:35.544 --> 52:37.767 ahead , President . Getting back Thio , 52:37.767 --> 52:39.822 Peter's question A variation of that 52:39.822 --> 52:41.600 question . Your doctors who are 52:41.600 --> 52:44.290 gathered here seemed to be in doubt as 52:44.290 --> 52:46.290 to whether or not the country could 52:46.290 --> 52:48.650 reopen on May the first if they come to 52:48.650 --> 52:50.483 you before May the first say the 52:50.483 --> 52:52.650 country is not ready are huge parts of 52:52.650 --> 52:54.761 the country or not ready to reopen on 52:54.761 --> 52:56.983 May 1st . Will you listen ? I listen to 52:56.983 --> 52:59.206 them about everything . I think they're 52:59.206 --> 53:01.094 actually surprised . I have great 53:01.094 --> 53:03.206 respect for these people , all of you 53:03.206 --> 53:05.428 and others that are working with us . I 53:05.428 --> 53:07.594 have great respect for this group . In 53:07.594 --> 53:09.594 fact , I told Tony Fauci said , Why 53:09.594 --> 53:11.761 don't you move to New York run against 53:11.761 --> 53:14.290 AOC ? You will win easily . So I 53:14.300 --> 53:16.411 decided that he's not gonna do that . 53:16.411 --> 53:18.633 Okay , kid , By the way , they you know 53:18.633 --> 53:20.856 that some some of your allies have been 53:20.856 --> 53:23.022 bashing these doctors ? Would you tell 53:23.022 --> 53:25.600 them to cut it out ? I can only say 53:25.600 --> 53:27.656 this . I have tremendous respect for 53:27.656 --> 53:29.990 these people and we've done very well . 53:30.450 --> 53:32.450 And when you look at us compared to 53:32.450 --> 53:34.450 others were a big nation . When you 53:34.450 --> 53:36.506 look at us compared to others , when 53:36.506 --> 53:38.672 you see how we've taken testing from a 53:38.672 --> 53:40.561 broken system that I inherited to 53:40.561 --> 53:42.561 having the best tests that anyone's 53:42.561 --> 53:44.617 made anywhere in the world and other 53:44.617 --> 53:46.839 countries are calling us wanting to use 53:46.839 --> 53:48.950 our technology . I have great respect 53:48.950 --> 53:51.172 for these people . I'm never saying bad 53:51.172 --> 53:53.283 about this pain . If they come back , 53:53.283 --> 53:53.150 you served saved before . May the first . 53:53.160 --> 53:56.490 We can't open on May the first you was . 53:56.550 --> 53:58.383 I will certainly listen . I will 53:58.383 --> 54:00.272 certainly take sides . Remember , 54:00.272 --> 54:02.439 there's no I understand the other side 54:02.439 --> 54:04.550 of the argument very well , because I 54:04.550 --> 54:06.970 look at both sides of an argument . I 54:06.980 --> 54:09.036 will listen to them very carefully . 54:09.036 --> 54:11.202 Please . President , you may have seen 54:11.202 --> 54:13.440 this . J . P . Morgan came out with a 54:13.440 --> 54:16.140 forecast about GDP growth in the second 54:16.140 --> 54:19.480 quarter , saying 40% decline in the 54:19.480 --> 54:21.591 second quarter of this year . Do your 54:21.591 --> 54:23.910 economic advisers share that view ? My 54:24.420 --> 54:26.642 economic advisers are interested in the 54:26.642 --> 54:28.642 third quarter and really the fourth 54:28.642 --> 54:30.809 quarter , and I think we have a chance 54:30.809 --> 54:32.809 to do record fourth quarter numbers 54:32.809 --> 54:34.698 because it's a tremendous pent up 54:34.698 --> 54:36.698 demand and you see it this week . I 54:36.698 --> 54:38.920 mean , what reason would there be other 54:38.920 --> 54:41.087 than faith in us and in this country , 54:41.410 --> 54:43.940 faith in this group and me and our vice 54:43.940 --> 54:46.340 president and everybody governors , 54:46.340 --> 54:48.340 perhaps you can head them into it . 54:48.340 --> 54:51.050 Also , what reason would that be for in 54:51.050 --> 54:53.272 a shortened week , four days instead of 54:53.272 --> 54:56.660 five to have the biggest stock market 54:56.660 --> 55:00.260 gain in over 50 years . So I think that , 55:00.320 --> 55:02.542 you know , to me there's a sign . Hey , 55:02.542 --> 55:05.760 look , with all we've been down , I 55:05.760 --> 55:07.890 mean , we've we've never been hit . I 55:07.890 --> 55:10.112 don't know . Has this country ever been 55:10.112 --> 55:12.334 hit like this ? Probably not 1917 . But 55:12.334 --> 55:14.168 that was different than it was a 55:14.168 --> 55:16.279 different time . And frankly , Europe 55:16.279 --> 55:18.446 took the brunt of it . We didn't , but 55:18.446 --> 55:18.250 it was a terrible time also , but 55:19.500 --> 55:21.500 probably never been hit like this , 55:21.500 --> 55:23.722 right ? Somebody was saying . In fact , 55:23.722 --> 55:25.667 I was speaking with Governor Cuomo 55:25.667 --> 55:27.722 about it because we were in New York 55:27.722 --> 55:29.778 City police . We love New York state 55:29.778 --> 55:31.944 with the World Trade Center , and that 55:31.944 --> 55:34.056 was approximately 3000 people . We've 55:34.060 --> 55:37.960 double that in this same area . We've 55:37.960 --> 55:39.793 doubled that more than double it 55:39.793 --> 55:42.016 substantially more . And it's obviously 55:42.016 --> 55:44.127 going , you know , we had our highest 55:44.127 --> 55:46.238 number yesterday and the day before . 55:46.238 --> 55:48.238 Okay , with all of this news , what 55:48.238 --> 55:50.293 would lead you to believe that we're 55:50.293 --> 55:52.404 gonna have the best stock market week 55:52.404 --> 55:54.627 shortened week in 50 years almost broke 55:54.627 --> 55:56.627 the all time record . You know what 55:56.627 --> 55:58.849 that is ? That's a pent up demand . Now 55:58.849 --> 56:01.016 that's my opinion . The other thing is 56:01.016 --> 56:03.127 we're doing tremendous stimulus plans 56:03.127 --> 56:05.349 and despite what you read it , you know 56:05.349 --> 56:07.182 this back and forth . But we are 56:07.182 --> 56:07.150 getting along with the Democrats . They 56:07.150 --> 56:09.317 want to see something happen . We have 56:09.317 --> 56:11.428 to help our workers . We have to help 56:11.428 --> 56:13.706 our small businesses . We have to help . 56:13.706 --> 56:13.410 We have to help our restaurants . I 56:13.410 --> 56:16.040 think deductibility will be great for 56:16.040 --> 56:18.373 entertainment restaurants . All of that . 56:18.373 --> 56:21.030 Look , I think with the stimulus with 56:21.030 --> 56:23.390 the people , with what we've got going 56:23.390 --> 56:25.612 with all of the things , we're gonna be 56:25.612 --> 56:27.557 meeting with the airlines over the 56:27.557 --> 56:29.900 weekend way have a great plan for the 56:29.900 --> 56:31.956 airlines . Got to keep the airline's 56:31.956 --> 56:34.011 going . You know , it's never been a 56:34.011 --> 56:33.910 great business , but it's a very vital 56:33.910 --> 56:36.077 business for the country . We're gonna 56:36.077 --> 56:38.299 be meeting with Boeing . We're gonna be 56:38.299 --> 56:40.354 meeting with a lot of companies that 56:40.354 --> 56:42.299 are great companies and were great 56:42.299 --> 56:44.466 companies a short while ago . I mean , 56:44.466 --> 56:46.743 we can't let anything happen to Boeing . 56:46.820 --> 56:49.240 It's , you know , got so much potential 56:49.240 --> 56:51.462 you talk about potential . Can anything 56:51.462 --> 56:54.200 have more potential than that ? So we 56:54.200 --> 56:56.144 have a lot of very exciting things 56:56.144 --> 56:59.010 taking place . We have tremendous plans . 56:59.010 --> 57:01.750 We have tremendous stimulus . And I 57:01.750 --> 57:03.750 think we have a chance to do really 57:03.750 --> 57:06.450 well . So this quarter isn't the 57:06.450 --> 57:10.280 quarter I'm looking at third quarter . 57:10.290 --> 57:12.480 We start to think about it , and I 57:12.480 --> 57:15.130 think fourth quarter is going to be at 57:15.130 --> 57:17.160 a level that maybe we haven't seen 57:17.160 --> 57:19.271 before . I think our country with the 57:19.271 --> 57:21.271 stimulus , with all that we've been 57:21.271 --> 57:23.382 through , we've learned a lot . Don't 57:23.382 --> 57:25.549 forget . We've learned about pandemics 57:25.549 --> 57:27.327 and epidemics . We've learned a 57:27.327 --> 57:29.438 tremendous amount . And with all that 57:29.438 --> 57:31.438 we've learned as an example , we're 57:31.438 --> 57:33.604 making ventilators . We have thousands 57:33.604 --> 57:35.604 of them being delivered in the vory 57:35.604 --> 57:37.827 near future . We have countries calling 57:37.827 --> 57:40.049 us Can we have ventilators ? That would 57:40.049 --> 57:42.216 have been unthinkable . Call it be . I 57:42.216 --> 57:44.327 wouldn't know what to say . They have 57:44.327 --> 57:46.438 people dying , but we needed them for 57:46.438 --> 57:48.549 ourselves . We have plenty before the 57:48.549 --> 57:50.940 surge in New York . They need far fewer 57:50.940 --> 57:54.110 hospital rooms or far fewer hospital 57:54.110 --> 57:56.170 beds in particular than we thought . 57:56.460 --> 57:58.460 And I have to say Dr Brooks told me 57:58.460 --> 58:00.900 that four weeks ago , six weeks there . 58:00.900 --> 58:03.290 Remember you said that number's too 58:03.290 --> 58:05.401 high , We don't need that money . And 58:05.401 --> 58:08.920 based on what she said and others , we 58:08.920 --> 58:10.920 did what we had to do . We actually 58:10.920 --> 58:14.020 gave the maximum . We built Javits . We 58:14.020 --> 58:16.020 sent the ship in . We then made the 58:16.020 --> 58:18.242 ship Cove it because , you know , there 58:18.242 --> 58:20.353 weren't a lot of people on the road . 58:20.353 --> 58:19.660 You didn't have the accent . So we 58:19.660 --> 58:22.370 thought other unrelated action . 58:22.370 --> 58:24.370 There's nobody driving , you know , 58:24.370 --> 58:26.537 normally have a lot of car accidents . 58:26.537 --> 58:28.814 You have a lot of motorcycle accidents . 58:28.814 --> 58:28.590 You have people going to the house . We 58:28.590 --> 58:30.701 didn't have that . We had almost none 58:30.701 --> 58:32.620 of it . So a lot of things have 58:32.620 --> 58:34.787 happened . I think we have a chance to 58:34.787 --> 58:37.470 be stronger than before . I really do . 58:37.560 --> 58:39.727 I think the stimulus is very important 58:39.727 --> 58:41.893 what we're doing . I think it's very , 58:41.893 --> 58:41.860 very important . Please go ahead . 58:41.870 --> 58:44.037 Press advance about credit and debt as 58:44.037 --> 58:46.930 well . Many American individuals 58:46.940 --> 58:49.370 families have had to tap their credit 58:49.370 --> 58:51.160 cards during this period , and 58:51.170 --> 58:53.337 businesses have had to draw down their 58:53.337 --> 58:55.448 credit lines . Are you concerned , Mr 58:55.448 --> 58:57.726 President , that that may hobble the U . 58:57.726 --> 58:59.837 S . Economy ? All of that debt number 58:59.837 --> 59:02.003 one and number two . Would you suggest 59:02.070 --> 59:04.014 to credit card companies to reduce 59:04.014 --> 59:06.350 their fees during this time ? Well , 59:06.350 --> 59:08.239 it's something that we've already 59:08.239 --> 59:10.183 suggested . We're talking to him . 59:10.183 --> 59:12.294 Business interruption insurance . I'd 59:12.294 --> 59:14.517 like to see these insurance companies . 59:14.517 --> 59:16.572 You know , you have people that have 59:16.572 --> 59:18.628 paid . When I was in private , I had 59:18.628 --> 59:20.794 business interruption when my business 59:20.794 --> 59:22.961 was interrupted through a hurricane or 59:22.961 --> 59:25.017 whatever it may be , I have business 59:25.017 --> 59:27.128 where I had it . I didn't always have 59:27.128 --> 59:27.090 it . Sometimes I had it . Sometimes I 59:27.090 --> 59:29.312 have a lot of different companies , but 59:29.312 --> 59:31.423 if I had it , I'd expect to be paid . 59:31.830 --> 59:34.430 You have people . I speak mostly for 59:34.430 --> 59:36.690 the restaurant tours where they have a 59:36.690 --> 59:38.801 restaurant they've been paying for 25 59:38.801 --> 59:41.880 30 35 years . Business interruption . 59:41.880 --> 59:43.824 They've never needed it . All of a 59:43.824 --> 59:46.580 sudden they need it . And I'm very good 59:46.580 --> 59:48.691 at reading language . I did very well 59:48.691 --> 59:51.670 in these subjects , okay ? And I don't 59:51.670 --> 59:53.892 see the word pandemic mentioned . Now , 59:53.892 --> 59:55.948 some cases it is it's an exclusion , 59:56.430 --> 59:58.708 but in a lot of cases , I don't see it . 59:59.120 --> 01:00:01.176 I don't see reference and they don't 01:00:01.176 --> 01:00:03.231 want to pay up . I would like to see 01:00:03.231 --> 01:00:05.231 the insurance companies pay if they 01:00:05.231 --> 01:00:07.398 need to pay if it's fair and they know 01:00:07.398 --> 01:00:09.564 what's fair , and I know what's fair , 01:00:09.564 --> 01:00:09.550 I can tell you very quickly . But 01:00:09.550 --> 01:00:11.439 business interruption insurance , 01:00:11.470 --> 01:00:13.637 that's getting a lot of money to a lot 01:00:13.637 --> 01:00:15.859 of people , and they've been paying for 01:00:15.859 --> 01:00:18.026 years . You know , sometimes they just 01:00:18.026 --> 01:00:20.248 started pink . But you have people that 01:00:20.248 --> 01:00:21.914 have never asked for business 01:00:21.914 --> 01:00:23.970 interruption his years , and they've 01:00:23.970 --> 01:00:26.192 been paying a lot of money for a lot of 01:00:26.192 --> 01:00:26.120 years for the privilege of having it . 01:00:26.450 --> 01:00:28.506 And then when they finally need it , 01:00:28.506 --> 01:00:30.561 the insurance companies is We're not 01:00:30.561 --> 01:00:32.617 going to give it . We can't let that 01:00:32.617 --> 01:00:35.670 happen . Please go ahead . On March 6 , 01:00:35.670 --> 01:00:38.550 he said . Anyone who wants test can get 01:00:38.550 --> 01:00:41.000 a test . Now you're saying that you 01:00:41.000 --> 01:00:43.167 would be open open toe , reopening the 01:00:43.167 --> 01:00:45.222 government without having a national 01:00:45.222 --> 01:00:47.167 testing system . How do you square 01:00:47.167 --> 01:00:49.056 those two statements , given that 01:00:49.056 --> 01:00:51.278 they're still issues with testing going 01:00:51.278 --> 01:00:53.333 forward and how you tell a vicious I 01:00:53.333 --> 01:00:55.444 got it is not a lot , and it's a good 01:00:55.444 --> 01:00:57.611 question . There's not a lot of issues 01:00:57.611 --> 01:00:59.833 with testing certain sections of the We 01:00:59.833 --> 01:01:02.500 Goto Iowa . We go to Nebraska , we go 01:01:02.510 --> 01:01:04.343 an interest in the Idaho is very 01:01:04.343 --> 01:01:06.288 interesting because they had a few 01:01:06.310 --> 01:01:08.532 break out small breakouts . But they're 01:01:08.532 --> 01:01:11.350 very , very capable states in their big 01:01:11.350 --> 01:01:13.294 distances , lot of land , a lot of 01:01:13.294 --> 01:01:17.280 opening . Um , you don't need testing 01:01:17.290 --> 01:01:19.750 there . You know where you have a state 01:01:19.750 --> 01:01:22.870 with a small number of cases . Some 01:01:22.870 --> 01:01:25.120 states with almost none West Virginia 01:01:25.130 --> 01:01:27.352 hung in for a long time is , you know , 01:01:27.352 --> 01:01:29.574 with none for a long time . So when you 01:01:29.574 --> 01:01:31.630 have that , you don't need testing . 01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:34.278 You don't have to test every person in , 01:01:34.710 --> 01:01:37.800 uh , the State of Iowa as an example . 01:01:38.160 --> 01:01:40.160 You don't have to test every single 01:01:40.160 --> 01:01:42.382 person to say , Let's open up and let's 01:01:42.382 --> 01:01:44.549 get the tractor's moving and let's get 01:01:44.549 --> 01:01:46.660 the corn And let's open up all of the 01:01:46.660 --> 01:01:48.827 different things they do in that great 01:01:48.827 --> 01:01:50.938 state . You don't need that with that 01:01:50.938 --> 01:01:52.993 being said , if there's a little hot 01:01:52.993 --> 01:01:55.104 corner someplace , we'll be testing . 01:01:55.104 --> 01:01:57.216 But I think Debra speaks to this very 01:01:57.216 --> 01:01:59.216 well . The same thing in New York . 01:01:59.216 --> 01:02:01.438 That's what we talked to Governor Cuomo 01:02:01.438 --> 01:02:03.604 about this morning . We have the abbot 01:02:03.604 --> 01:02:05.604 test , which is very quick and very 01:02:05.604 --> 01:02:07.660 easy goes very fast . Then we have a 01:02:07.660 --> 01:02:09.827 lesser test that we talked about where 01:02:09.827 --> 01:02:11.938 we can talk about a larger area , but 01:02:11.938 --> 01:02:14.049 you're going to know . So we're going 01:02:14.049 --> 01:02:16.160 to do testing . But you don't need to 01:02:16.160 --> 01:02:19.530 test 325 to 350 million people 01:02:19.620 --> 01:02:22.650 because number one it's unnecessary . 01:02:23.500 --> 01:02:26.630 Vast numbers of asked areas of our 01:02:26.630 --> 01:02:29.170 country don't need this . I think you 01:02:29.170 --> 01:02:31.281 agree with me and then you just don't 01:02:31.281 --> 01:02:33.614 need it . Now we have certain hot spots . 01:02:33.614 --> 01:02:35.781 So Louisiana's a hot spot . New York's 01:02:35.781 --> 01:02:38.003 a hot spot . Detroit's a hot spot , and 01:02:38.003 --> 01:02:40.170 then you have certain areas in certain 01:02:40.170 --> 01:02:42.392 hot spots that you have to even go more 01:02:42.392 --> 01:02:44.226 so and we're doing all of that . 01:02:44.226 --> 01:02:46.448 Remember this . We've done more testing 01:02:46.448 --> 01:02:46.230 than any country in the world , and we 01:02:46.230 --> 01:02:48.286 have the best test that we developed 01:02:48.286 --> 01:02:50.508 this over a very short period of time . 01:02:50.508 --> 01:02:52.174 Please , the African American 01:02:52.174 --> 01:02:54.341 experience . I have a question for you 01:02:54.341 --> 01:02:56.619 and a question for the surgeon general . 01:02:56.619 --> 01:02:58.730 Free for you , Mr President , We know 01:02:58.730 --> 01:02:58.200 that these health disparities have 01:02:58.200 --> 01:03:00.560 existed for a long time among African 01:03:00.560 --> 01:03:02.782 Americans , Latinos and other people of 01:03:02.782 --> 01:03:04.840 color . Why did the administration 01:03:04.870 --> 01:03:07.120 possibly have a plan directed those 01:03:07.130 --> 01:03:09.463 communities to prevent high death rates , 01:03:09.490 --> 01:03:11.490 knowing that the health disparities 01:03:11.490 --> 01:03:13.601 were there . What we do have a plan . 01:03:13.601 --> 01:03:15.657 And one of the things I'm most proud 01:03:15.657 --> 01:03:17.823 about is what I've been able to do for 01:03:17.823 --> 01:03:19.879 the African American community , the 01:03:19.879 --> 01:03:21.934 lowest job numbers in the history of 01:03:21.934 --> 01:03:24.830 our country . This was just before the 01:03:24.830 --> 01:03:26.941 virus came . Well , I'm just saying , 01:03:26.941 --> 01:03:28.997 because you know , there's been here 01:03:28.997 --> 01:03:30.886 for three weeks , right ? So just 01:03:30.886 --> 01:03:32.997 before African American community had 01:03:32.997 --> 01:03:34.941 the lowest unemployment , the best 01:03:34.941 --> 01:03:37.000 employment numbers , more African 01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:40.130 American people and communities have 01:03:40.130 --> 01:03:42.220 been thriving . If you look at our 01:03:42.220 --> 01:03:44.540 opportunity zones and what we did , Tim 01:03:44.540 --> 01:03:46.707 Scott , who is fantastic , a fantastic 01:03:46.707 --> 01:03:48.990 senator came to me . Opportunity zones , 01:03:49.360 --> 01:03:51.416 more jobs for African Americans than 01:03:51.416 --> 01:03:53.527 ever before , better health care than 01:03:53.527 --> 01:03:55.693 they've ever had before . All of these 01:03:55.693 --> 01:03:57.804 things , the surgeon general spoke to 01:03:57.804 --> 01:03:59.693 it and he spoke to it . I thought 01:03:59.693 --> 01:04:01.749 really brilliantly . I found it very 01:04:01.749 --> 01:04:03.971 interesting what he said , and I'd love 01:04:03.971 --> 01:04:06.027 you to come up and answer the second 01:04:06.027 --> 01:04:05.340 part of a question , because I think 01:04:05.340 --> 01:04:07.396 you're you would do it a much better 01:04:07.396 --> 01:04:09.507 job than I would please . Thank you , 01:04:09.507 --> 01:04:11.729 Mr Stern expression . General , I think 01:04:11.729 --> 01:04:13.951 you have a quick question for you . You 01:04:13.951 --> 01:04:15.951 you said that African Americans and 01:04:15.951 --> 01:04:18.210 Latinos should avoid alcohol drugs in 01:04:18.210 --> 01:04:20.377 tobacco . You'll said , Do every arm . 01:04:20.377 --> 01:04:22.432 Well , I do it for Big Momma and pop 01:04:22.432 --> 01:04:24.599 pop . There's some people are going to 01:04:24.730 --> 01:04:26.786 There's some people online . They're 01:04:26.786 --> 01:04:28.897 already offended by that language and 01:04:28.897 --> 01:04:31.008 the idea that you're saying behaviors 01:04:31.008 --> 01:04:33.063 might be leading to these high death 01:04:33.063 --> 01:04:32.540 rates . Could you talk about whether or 01:04:32.540 --> 01:04:35.010 not people could you have a response 01:04:35.010 --> 01:04:37.232 for people who might be offended by the 01:04:37.232 --> 01:04:39.288 language that he used ? Well , I use 01:04:39.288 --> 01:04:41.399 that language because that's the link 01:04:41.399 --> 01:04:43.621 I've been meeting with the n double A C 01:04:43.621 --> 01:04:45.843 p with the National Medical Association 01:04:45.843 --> 01:04:48.066 with other actually talked with Derrick 01:04:48.066 --> 01:04:50.232 Johnson multiple times this week , the 01:04:50.232 --> 01:04:52.343 head of the N Double A . C p . And we 01:04:52.343 --> 01:04:54.454 need targeted outreach to the African 01:04:54.454 --> 01:04:56.454 American community . And I used the 01:04:56.454 --> 01:04:58.621 language that is used in my family . I 01:04:58.621 --> 01:05:00.677 have a Puerto Rican brother in law I 01:05:00.677 --> 01:05:03.160 call my granddaddy granddaddy . I have 01:05:03.230 --> 01:05:06.040 relatives who call their their their 01:05:06.040 --> 01:05:08.320 grand parents big mama , so that was 01:05:08.320 --> 01:05:10.487 not meant to be offensive . That's the 01:05:10.487 --> 01:05:12.598 language that we used on that I use , 01:05:12.598 --> 01:05:14.709 and we need to continue to target our 01:05:14.709 --> 01:05:16.820 outreach to those communities . It is 01:05:16.820 --> 01:05:18.542 critically important that they 01:05:18.542 --> 01:05:20.653 understand it's not just about them , 01:05:20.653 --> 01:05:22.820 and I was very clear about that . It's 01:05:22.820 --> 01:05:24.876 not just about what you do , but you 01:05:24.876 --> 01:05:26.987 also are not helpless . We need to do 01:05:26.987 --> 01:05:29.209 our part of the federal level . We need 01:05:29.209 --> 01:05:28.650 people to do their parts of the state 01:05:28.650 --> 01:05:30.817 level , and we need everyone . Black , 01:05:30.817 --> 01:05:32.983 brown , white , whatever color you are 01:05:32.983 --> 01:05:35.206 toe follow the president's guidelines . 01:05:35.206 --> 01:05:37.150 The Corona virus guidelines and do 01:05:37.150 --> 01:05:39.372 their part because when I talked to the 01:05:39.372 --> 01:05:41.594 n double A C . P three weeks ago , it's 01:05:41.594 --> 01:05:43.483 important to note that one of the 01:05:43.483 --> 01:05:43.210 things they asked me with can you help 01:05:43.210 --> 01:05:45.820 dispel the myths in this community that 01:05:45.830 --> 01:05:48.120 people I actually can't get Corona 01:05:48.120 --> 01:05:50.120 virus if they're black ? That was a 01:05:50.120 --> 01:05:52.009 myth that without there , that is 01:05:52.009 --> 01:05:53.898 actually very important for us to 01:05:53.898 --> 01:05:55.898 squash . Here . All Americans avoid 01:05:55.898 --> 01:05:57.731 tobacco , alcohol and drug use . 01:05:58.160 --> 01:06:00.330 Absolutely . It's especially important 01:06:00.330 --> 01:06:02.552 for people who were at risk and with co 01:06:02.552 --> 01:06:04.663 morbidity , but yes , all Americans , 01:06:04.663 --> 01:06:06.719 so thank you and I will clarify that 01:06:06.719 --> 01:06:08.608 all Americans need to avoid these 01:06:08.608 --> 01:06:10.719 substances at all times . I put out a 01:06:10.719 --> 01:06:12.941 smoking cessation report in January . I 01:06:12.941 --> 01:06:14.997 put out a advisory against youth and 01:06:14.997 --> 01:06:16.997 pregnant women using marijuana last 01:06:16.997 --> 01:06:19.163 year and that was not directed towards 01:06:19.163 --> 01:06:21.330 anyone . Race . That's everybody needs 01:06:21.330 --> 01:06:23.386 to do everything they can to be , if 01:06:23.386 --> 01:06:23.330 healthiest possible at this critical 01:06:23.330 --> 01:06:25.140 time to do anything . 01:06:27.150 --> 01:06:29.039 Would you like anything ?

I don't That was 01:06:48.536 --> 01:06:50.758 appropriate . Thanks .

And he goes to one 01:06:56.924 --> 01:06:59.091 of these big companies for a fortune . 01:06:59.091 --> 01:07:01.313 Don't leave us , right . Don't leave us 01:07:01.313 --> 01:07:03.480 to police .

So we appreciate it . Uh , please . 01:07:10.250 --> 01:07:12.510 Thank you . So Google and Apple have 01:07:12.510 --> 01:07:14.288 announced that they are jointly 01:07:14.288 --> 01:07:16.240 enabling contact tracing on their 01:07:16.250 --> 01:07:18.417 mobile phone operating systems , and I 01:07:18.417 --> 01:07:20.583 was wondering if This is something you 01:07:20.583 --> 01:07:22.639 would consider , or maybe the top of 01:07:22.639 --> 01:07:24.730 the freedoms , problems and a lot of 01:07:24.730 --> 01:07:26.952 other things is something . We're gonna 01:07:26.952 --> 01:07:28.897 look at it certainly , and we know 01:07:28.897 --> 01:07:31.063 they've done that . It's highly . It's 01:07:31.063 --> 01:07:33.174 very new . New technology . It's very 01:07:33.174 --> 01:07:35.397 interesting , but a lot of people worry 01:07:35.397 --> 01:07:37.730 about it in terms of a person's freedom . 01:07:37.730 --> 01:07:39.730 We're gonna take a look at that . A 01:07:39.730 --> 01:07:39.550 very strong look at it . We'll let you 01:07:39.550 --> 01:07:42.560 know pretty soon . Bread . Yes . So can 01:07:42.560 --> 01:07:45.190 you explain why it is appropriate in 01:07:45.190 --> 01:07:47.246 the middle of a pandemic ? Should be 01:07:47.246 --> 01:07:49.301 talking about cutting or eliminating 01:07:49.301 --> 01:07:50.912 funding for the World Health 01:07:50.912 --> 01:07:53.079 Organization . Well , we're gonna talk 01:07:53.079 --> 01:07:56.850 about the W H L next week in great 01:07:56.850 --> 01:07:59.072 detail . I didn't want to do it today . 01:07:59.240 --> 01:08:01.296 Good Friday . I didn't want to do it 01:08:01.296 --> 01:08:03.407 before Easter . I also didn't want to 01:08:03.407 --> 01:08:05.462 do it before we have all the facts . 01:08:05.462 --> 01:08:07.573 But over the years , many years we've 01:08:07.573 --> 01:08:10.210 been paying them from 300 to 500 even 01:08:10.210 --> 01:08:13.480 more $1,000,000 a year . China has been 01:08:13.480 --> 01:08:16.770 paying them less than 40 over the years , 01:08:16.870 --> 01:08:19.170 so we're paying them more than 10 times 01:08:19.170 --> 01:08:21.560 more than China , and they are very , 01:08:21.560 --> 01:08:24.640 very China centric . As I said during 01:08:24.640 --> 01:08:27.780 the weeks , China centric China always 01:08:27.780 --> 01:08:29.947 seems the bet to get the better of the 01:08:30.320 --> 01:08:33.690 the argument . And I don't like that . 01:08:33.880 --> 01:08:35.824 I really don't like that . I don't 01:08:35.824 --> 01:08:37.769 think that's appropriate . I don't 01:08:37.769 --> 01:08:40.047 think it's fair to the American people . 01:08:40.047 --> 01:08:41.824 And , you know , I tell that to 01:08:41.824 --> 01:08:44.480 President Xi . I tell that to Dr Ted 01:08:44.480 --> 01:08:46.620 Rose . I spoke to him one time . I 01:08:47.090 --> 01:08:49.146 think he's a very nice man . I liked 01:08:49.146 --> 01:08:51.257 him , Uh , but we're gonna be talking 01:08:51.257 --> 01:08:53.312 about that , uh , next week in great 01:08:53.312 --> 01:08:55.312 detail . We're looking at it very , 01:08:55.312 --> 01:08:57.312 very closely . We want to make sure 01:08:57.312 --> 01:08:59.368 money's properly spent . But again , 01:08:59.368 --> 01:09:03.260 why is the United States paying $500 01:09:03.260 --> 01:09:06.600 million a year ? It's a lot . And why 01:09:06.600 --> 01:09:09.350 is okay ? That's a lot . And why is 01:09:09.350 --> 01:09:13.040 China paying last year this year ? $42 01:09:13.040 --> 01:09:15.760 million but generally under 40 ? So 01:09:15.760 --> 01:09:19.110 it's in the thirties . So we're at 504 01:09:19.110 --> 01:09:22.880 52 404 . 01 different 01:09:22.930 --> 01:09:25.840 amounts . Different years . And there 01:09:26.470 --> 01:09:30.090 40 38 36 35 32 01:09:30.720 --> 01:09:33.400 31 . No , no , but But you have to ask 01:09:33.400 --> 01:09:36.480 yourself that question . And then the 01:09:36.480 --> 01:09:38.313 answer always turns out to be in 01:09:38.313 --> 01:09:40.369 China's favour while I have the same 01:09:40.369 --> 01:09:42.424 thing with the world trade . Is that 01:09:42.424 --> 01:09:44.480 interesting world trade ? So we have 01:09:44.480 --> 01:09:46.647 world health and we have world trade . 01:09:46.647 --> 01:09:48.980 So we have the World Trade Organization . 01:09:48.980 --> 01:09:51.202 And until I came along , we were losing 01:09:51.202 --> 01:09:52.924 cases . So many cases , it was 01:09:52.924 --> 01:09:55.091 ridiculous . We're always losing these 01:09:55.091 --> 01:09:58.020 cases was every case . And now we're 01:09:58.020 --> 01:10:01.010 winning cases . We just won $7 billion 01:10:01.010 --> 01:10:03.177 because they know I'm not gonna put up 01:10:03.177 --> 01:10:06.280 with it . China has been unbelievably 01:10:07.430 --> 01:10:09.930 taken advantage of us and other 01:10:09.930 --> 01:10:11.763 countries , you know , for since 01:10:11.763 --> 01:10:14.041 they're considered a developing nation , 01:10:14.041 --> 01:10:15.763 I said , Well , then make us a 01:10:15.763 --> 01:10:17.652 developing nation to they get big 01:10:17.652 --> 01:10:19.763 advantages because they're developing 01:10:19.763 --> 01:10:21.986 nations . India , a developing nation . 01:10:21.986 --> 01:10:24.152 The United States is the big developed 01:10:24.152 --> 01:10:26.319 nation . We have plenty of development 01:10:26.319 --> 01:10:28.374 to do . Okay ? And now we're winning 01:10:28.374 --> 01:10:30.486 cases because they know that if we're 01:10:30.486 --> 01:10:32.708 not treated fairly , I'm gonna pull out 01:10:32.708 --> 01:10:34.597 now . You never heard this before 01:10:34.597 --> 01:10:36.652 because nobody ever talked about the 01:10:36.652 --> 01:10:38.597 World Trade Organization . But the 01:10:38.597 --> 01:10:40.819 World Trade Organization has treated us 01:10:40.819 --> 01:10:42.930 very unfairly . But they know I'm not 01:10:42.930 --> 01:10:44.930 gonna put up with it because all of 01:10:44.930 --> 01:10:46.986 these countries are taking advantage 01:10:46.986 --> 01:10:49.208 off the United States now in the courts 01:10:49.208 --> 01:10:49.200 and the court system . We're not 01:10:49.200 --> 01:10:51.910 approving new judges over the last year . 01:10:51.920 --> 01:10:53.976 We're not going to approve , and Bob 01:10:53.976 --> 01:10:56.309 Lighthizer is working very hard on that . 01:10:56.360 --> 01:11:00.240 But we had always a minority position , 01:11:00.240 --> 01:11:03.090 meaning numbers of judges , so we'd 01:11:03.090 --> 01:11:05.740 have a minority number of judges . I 01:11:05.740 --> 01:11:07.851 said , How do you win with a minority 01:11:07.851 --> 01:11:10.018 number of judges ? But all of a sudden 01:11:10.018 --> 01:11:12.073 we're winning , and the reason we're 01:11:12.073 --> 01:11:11.750 winning is they know if they don't 01:11:11.750 --> 01:11:15.240 treat us properly and we won $7 billion . 01:11:15.240 --> 01:11:18.030 Justus very recently and the money is 01:11:18.030 --> 01:11:20.480 pouring in and we want other cases , 01:11:20.480 --> 01:11:22.536 too . We want a lot of cases , but , 01:11:22.536 --> 01:11:24.591 you know , from covering it . I know 01:11:24.591 --> 01:11:27.440 you know that the United States was 01:11:27.440 --> 01:11:29.551 taken advantage of by the World Trade 01:11:29.551 --> 01:11:31.329 Organization . And by the way , 01:11:31.329 --> 01:11:33.496 speaking of China , if you look at the 01:11:33.496 --> 01:11:35.980 history of China , it was only since 01:11:35.980 --> 01:11:37.702 they went into the World Trade 01:11:37.702 --> 01:11:39.880 Organization that they became a rocket 01:11:39.880 --> 01:11:41.880 ship with their economy . They were 01:11:41.880 --> 01:11:45.120 flat line for years and years , frankly , 01:11:45.120 --> 01:11:47.840 for many , many decades , and it was 01:11:47.840 --> 01:11:49.784 only when they came into the World 01:11:49.784 --> 01:11:52.240 Trade Organization that they became a 01:11:52.240 --> 01:11:54.462 rocket ship because they took advantage 01:11:54.462 --> 01:11:56.796 of all those . I'm not even blaming him . 01:11:56.796 --> 01:11:58.962 I'm saying how stupid we're the people 01:11:58.962 --> 01:12:00.851 that stood here and allowed it to 01:12:00.851 --> 01:12:02.851 happen . But we don't allow that to 01:12:02.851 --> 01:12:04.907 happen if they don't treat us fairly 01:12:04.907 --> 01:12:06.962 well . But now we're starting to win 01:12:06.962 --> 01:12:09.018 cases . How about somebody new for a 01:12:09.018 --> 01:12:11.790 change ? Come on as many schools and 01:12:11.790 --> 01:12:14.012 school districts are closing across the 01:12:14.012 --> 01:12:15.901 country , Florida Governor Rhonda 01:12:15.901 --> 01:12:18.430 Santa's has not ruled out closing for 01:12:18.430 --> 01:12:22.020 opening our schools in May , saying 01:12:22.030 --> 01:12:24.810 that many kids are not vulnerable to 01:12:24.820 --> 01:12:26.931 this disease . Do you agree with that 01:12:26.931 --> 01:12:28.820 assessment ? And you believe that 01:12:28.820 --> 01:12:30.931 schools would recommend that school's 01:12:30.931 --> 01:12:34.040 open up to the states that have well . 01:12:34.040 --> 01:12:36.096 I have a lot of confidence in Run to 01:12:36.096 --> 01:12:38.096 Santa is a lot of faith and run two 01:12:38.096 --> 01:12:40.096 Santas to make the right decision . 01:12:40.096 --> 01:12:40.050 He's doing a great job as governor 01:12:40.990 --> 01:12:43.470 Rhonda Santis . I had read where he's 01:12:43.700 --> 01:12:45.867 thinking about opening up the school's 01:12:45.867 --> 01:12:48.460 earlier than the date the end of the 01:12:48.460 --> 01:12:50.760 month . Uh , I'd have to look at the 01:12:50.760 --> 01:12:52.982 numbers , but again , you know , I like 01:12:52.982 --> 01:12:56.240 to allow governors to make decisions 01:12:56.240 --> 01:12:58.760 without overruling them , because from 01:12:58.760 --> 01:13:00.816 a constitutional standpoint . That's 01:13:00.816 --> 01:13:02.649 the way it should be done . If I 01:13:02.649 --> 01:13:04.482 disagreed , I would overrule the 01:13:04.482 --> 01:13:06.649 governor , and I have that right to do 01:13:06.649 --> 01:13:08.871 it . But I'd rather have them . You can 01:13:08.871 --> 01:13:10.982 call it federalists . You can call it 01:13:10.982 --> 01:13:13.038 the Constitution . But I call it the 01:13:13.038 --> 01:13:15.260 Constitution . I would rather have them 01:13:15.260 --> 01:13:17.427 make their decisions , but he's made a 01:13:17.427 --> 01:13:19.538 lot of good decisions , and he hasn't 01:13:19.538 --> 01:13:21.704 said he's going to , but he's thinking 01:13:21.704 --> 01:13:23.950 about it . So I'll take a look at it to 01:13:24.630 --> 01:13:26.686 one of the doctors that if you allow 01:13:26.686 --> 01:13:28.908 Children back into schools , you know , 01:13:28.908 --> 01:13:30.963 when that pose a threat to spreading 01:13:30.963 --> 01:13:32.908 the virus further to some of those 01:13:32.908 --> 01:13:34.852 vulnerable , I think the answer is 01:13:34.852 --> 01:13:37.074 obvious . But if you want , uh , either 01:13:37.074 --> 01:13:39.352 would you want to just talk about that ? 01:13:39.352 --> 01:13:42.640 Maybe Tony E . 01:13:44.550 --> 01:13:47.630 Yeah . I mean from fuel public health 01:13:47.640 --> 01:13:50.020 issues is that if you have a situation 01:13:50.020 --> 01:13:52.020 in which you don't have a real good 01:13:52.020 --> 01:13:54.187 control over an outbreak and you allow 01:13:54.187 --> 01:13:56.131 Children to gather together , they 01:13:56.131 --> 01:13:58.298 likely will get infected . And if they 01:13:58.298 --> 01:14:00.520 get infected , the likelihood that they 01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:00.290 will bring the infection home , so that 01:14:00.300 --> 01:14:02.300 really is a risk . I don't know the 01:14:02.300 --> 01:14:04.356 situation at all in any detail . And 01:14:04.356 --> 01:14:06.356 I'm not specifically speaking about 01:14:06.356 --> 01:14:08.578 Florida . I'm just speaking generically 01:14:08.578 --> 01:14:10.411 about what happens when you have 01:14:10.411 --> 01:14:12.411 infections in the community and you 01:14:12.411 --> 01:14:14.522 have a congregation of people such as 01:14:14.522 --> 01:14:16.467 in classrooms , that that's a risk 01:14:16.467 --> 01:14:18.578 under 25 dive doctor in the country . 01:14:19.240 --> 01:14:21.351 Yes , the government . The government 01:14:21.351 --> 01:14:23.407 said that no one under 25 is dying , 01:14:23.407 --> 01:14:25.296 and I guess you could clarify the 01:14:25.296 --> 01:14:27.462 people under 25 can die as a result of 01:14:27.462 --> 01:14:30.410 this . I'm not sure again , I in the 01:14:30.410 --> 01:14:32.460 country . Okay , let's do that . 01:14:32.470 --> 01:14:34.303 Because I don't wanna have to be 01:14:34.303 --> 01:14:36.581 answering for a particular state . Yes , 01:14:36.581 --> 01:14:38.637 people in the 25 have died of Corona 01:14:38.637 --> 01:14:40.748 virus disease in the United States of 01:14:40.748 --> 01:14:44.290 America . If you 01:14:44.300 --> 01:14:46.840 reopen , the country had met and 01:14:47.180 --> 01:14:49.510 there's a new outbreak . Were spiking 01:14:49.510 --> 01:14:51.621 infections . Are you open to the idea 01:14:51.880 --> 01:14:53.936 of shutting the country down again , 01:14:54.810 --> 01:14:56.754 depending on the outbreak ? Yeah , 01:14:57.430 --> 01:14:59.541 that's happened . You know , a couple 01:14:59.541 --> 01:15:01.708 of countries you know what I'm doing ? 01:15:01.708 --> 01:15:03.819 I'm watching the other countries . In 01:15:03.819 --> 01:15:05.930 many cases , they're ahead of us from 01:15:05.930 --> 01:15:07.986 the same point that it attacked them 01:15:07.986 --> 01:15:10.380 before us . It hit them first . And I'm 01:15:10.380 --> 01:15:12.547 watching what's happening with respect 01:15:12.547 --> 01:15:14.602 to certain other countries , some of 01:15:14.602 --> 01:15:16.436 them obvious , some of them less 01:15:16.436 --> 01:15:18.602 obvious and what they're doing and the 01:15:18.602 --> 01:15:20.658 success of having , and that's gonna 01:15:20.658 --> 01:15:22.658 play a large part of the role . I'm 01:15:22.658 --> 01:15:25.480 also we're also setting up a council 01:15:25.720 --> 01:15:29.150 very , very great . Doctors and 01:15:29.160 --> 01:15:30.827 business people were gonna be 01:15:30.827 --> 01:15:33.880 announcing it on Tuesday . Some great 01:15:33.880 --> 01:15:37.480 people task force a second beyond this 01:15:37.480 --> 01:15:39.630 is beyond economic . This is really I 01:15:39.640 --> 01:15:41.696 call it the opening our Country task 01:15:41.696 --> 01:15:44.040 force or opening our country counsel So 01:15:44.040 --> 01:15:46.150 we don't get it confused with Mike's 01:15:46.150 --> 01:15:48.317 Task Force , which has done so great . 01:15:48.510 --> 01:15:50.910 Uh , and we're gonna have the great 01:15:50.910 --> 01:15:52.854 business leaders , great doctors . 01:15:52.854 --> 01:15:54.743 We're gonna have a great group of 01:15:54.743 --> 01:15:56.410 people will probably do it by 01:15:56.410 --> 01:15:58.577 teleconference because we don't really 01:15:58.577 --> 01:16:00.632 want them traveling in for their own 01:16:00.632 --> 01:16:02.799 purposes . I don't think it would look 01:16:02.799 --> 01:16:04.743 good also , but we don't want them 01:16:04.743 --> 01:16:06.243 traveling in , so we'll do 01:16:06.243 --> 01:16:08.354 teleconference . We did one the other 01:16:08.354 --> 01:16:08.260 day with the banks , and it was very 01:16:08.260 --> 01:16:11.100 successful teleconference itself , and 01:16:11.110 --> 01:16:13.166 we'll be announcing names on Tuesday 01:16:13.166 --> 01:16:15.388 who's on that , and that'll play a role 01:16:15.388 --> 01:16:17.221 but ultimately have to make that 01:16:17.221 --> 01:16:19.332 decision and then I'll have to make a 01:16:19.332 --> 01:16:21.388 decision do we close a little area ? 01:16:21.388 --> 01:16:23.721 That's a hot spot . I do say this , Jim . 01:16:23.721 --> 01:16:23.500 I want to get it open as soon as 01:16:23.500 --> 01:16:25.950 possible . This country was meant to be 01:16:25.950 --> 01:16:28.670 open and vibrant and great , not where 01:16:28.670 --> 01:16:31.510 people are , you know , staying . And 01:16:31.950 --> 01:16:34.660 you know I am . I would love to open it . 01:16:34.970 --> 01:16:37.192 I'm not determined anything . The facts 01:16:37.192 --> 01:16:39.359 are going to determine what I do , but 01:16:39.359 --> 01:16:41.470 we do want to get the country open so 01:16:41.470 --> 01:16:43.620 important . So I have a task force . 01:16:43.620 --> 01:16:45.787 I'll have a council . It's going to be 01:16:45.787 --> 01:16:49.380 announced on Tuesday with names that 01:16:49.380 --> 01:16:51.491 you have a lot of respect for . A lot 01:16:51.491 --> 01:16:53.713 of great names , different businesses , 01:16:53.713 --> 01:16:56.930 different people . Top bipartisan . I 01:16:56.940 --> 01:16:59.280 didn't even ask . I mean , honestly , I 01:16:59.280 --> 01:17:01.502 think it's bipartisan . The one thing I 01:17:01.502 --> 01:17:03.336 didn't ask you , Republican or a 01:17:03.336 --> 01:17:05.558 Democrat hard to believe , but I didn't 01:17:05.558 --> 01:17:07.780 ask s so it would be . And I want their 01:17:07.780 --> 01:17:10.250 views on what they think . Also very 01:17:10.250 --> 01:17:12.194 important , different parts of the 01:17:12.194 --> 01:17:14.528 country . Because you go to the Midwest , 01:17:14.528 --> 01:17:16.583 it's different than perhaps the East 01:17:16.583 --> 01:17:18.583 Coast or the West Coast or the West 01:17:18.583 --> 01:17:20.694 Coast . Those numbers a really pretty 01:17:20.694 --> 01:17:20.510 amazing from the West Coast . Very 01:17:20.510 --> 01:17:22.177 interesting So we're gonna be 01:17:22.177 --> 01:17:24.240 announcing that in for sure . Well , 01:17:24.240 --> 01:17:27.740 probably Tuesday . Government 01:17:27.740 --> 01:17:29.573 officials and Latin American and 01:17:29.573 --> 01:17:32.660 Caribbean nations Hamas , Cayman 01:17:32.670 --> 01:17:34.790 Islands have been saying that U . S 01:17:34.790 --> 01:17:36.901 authorities are blocking the shipment 01:17:36.901 --> 01:17:39.290 of PEOPIE in certain cases . And I'm 01:17:39.290 --> 01:17:41.512 wondering if you could speak to that is 01:17:41.512 --> 01:17:43.810 way . We have a tremendous force out 01:17:43.810 --> 01:17:45.940 there Naval Force and we're blocking 01:17:45.940 --> 01:17:49.030 the shipment of drugs . So maybe what 01:17:49.030 --> 01:17:51.086 they're doing is stopping ships that 01:17:51.500 --> 01:17:53.611 they want to look when I'm blocking . 01:17:53.611 --> 01:17:55.722 What we're doing is we're making sure 01:17:55.722 --> 01:17:57.889 we don't want drugs in our country and 01:17:57.889 --> 01:18:00.870 especially with the over 160 miles of 01:18:00.870 --> 01:18:02.926 wall , it's getting very hard to get 01:18:02.926 --> 01:18:05.148 through the border . They used to drive 01:18:05.148 --> 01:18:07.092 right through the border like they 01:18:07.092 --> 01:18:09.148 owned it , and in a certain way they 01:18:09.148 --> 01:18:08.930 did . They could drive right . They had 01:18:08.930 --> 01:18:11.041 human trafficking . They had all of a 01:18:11.041 --> 01:18:13.830 sudden , I have a powerful wall up and 01:18:13.830 --> 01:18:16.052 they're not driving through that wall . 01:18:16.052 --> 01:18:17.997 That wall is tough , and it's also 01:18:17.997 --> 01:18:20.163 loaded up with equipment , cameras and 01:18:20.163 --> 01:18:22.497 sensors and everything you can think of . 01:18:22.497 --> 01:18:24.663 On top of that , we have drones flying 01:18:24.663 --> 01:18:26.920 back and forth over it . So so it's a 01:18:26.930 --> 01:18:28.940 very very powerful . It's a very 01:18:28.940 --> 01:18:31.450 powerful barrier between Mexico and the 01:18:31.450 --> 01:18:33.850 United States . Ah , lot of people , 01:18:33.850 --> 01:18:35.683 though what they're doing now is 01:18:35.683 --> 01:18:37.794 they're trying to come in through the 01:18:37.794 --> 01:18:39.906 waterways , whether it's the gulf for 01:18:39.906 --> 01:18:42.128 the ocean itself . And what we're doing 01:18:42.128 --> 01:18:44.128 is we're being very tough and we're 01:18:44.128 --> 01:18:46.239 being tough because of drugs and also 01:18:46.239 --> 01:18:48.294 human trafficking . And remember the 01:18:48.294 --> 01:18:50.294 image . Traffic is mostly females . 01:18:50.294 --> 01:18:52.406 It's mostly females . It's horrible , 01:18:52.406 --> 01:18:54.628 and what we're seeing is horrible . But 01:18:54.628 --> 01:18:56.350 you have a big We have a human 01:18:56.350 --> 01:18:58.461 trafficking human trafficking problem 01:18:58.461 --> 01:19:00.870 worldwide , the likes of which , you 01:19:00.870 --> 01:19:02.926 know you think of . It is an ancient 01:19:02.926 --> 01:19:05.092 thing . It's not ancient . It's bigger 01:19:05.092 --> 01:19:07.203 now than it's ever been before . Over 01:19:07.203 --> 01:19:09.148 the last 10 years . Because of the 01:19:09.148 --> 01:19:11.310 Internet , the Internet made human 01:19:11.310 --> 01:19:13.477 trafficking . To the extent that it is 01:19:13.477 --> 01:19:16.450 now , which is massive . The Internet , 01:19:16.650 --> 01:19:20.020 the Internet made it so big . So we are . 01:19:20.030 --> 01:19:22.380 We have a big naval force that's 01:19:22.390 --> 01:19:24.870 stopping . So maybe when you mentioned 01:19:24.870 --> 01:19:27.148 that maybe their ships are getting cut . 01:19:27.148 --> 01:19:29.203 But we are . We're stopping a lot of 01:19:29.203 --> 01:19:31.481 ships and we're finding a lot of drugs . 01:19:31.481 --> 01:19:33.760 Yeah . Thank you , sir . On the 01:19:33.760 --> 01:19:35.982 additional money for small made you But 01:19:35.982 --> 01:19:38.204 that's okay . Go ahead . We'll get this 01:19:38.204 --> 01:19:40.093 on the additional money for small 01:19:40.093 --> 01:19:42.260 business . I apparently speak Treasury 01:19:42.260 --> 01:19:44.038 Secretary Mnuchin speaking with 01:19:44.038 --> 01:19:46.260 Democrats in Congress . Are you allowed 01:19:46.260 --> 01:19:48.371 to talk about the new yacht ? The new 01:19:48.371 --> 01:19:50.538 $250 billion ? Are you willing to give 01:19:50.538 --> 01:19:52.140 into Democratic demands for 01:19:52.340 --> 01:19:54.396 additionally for hospital states and 01:19:54.396 --> 01:19:56.396 cities in that in Rome around ? I'd 01:19:56.396 --> 01:19:58.618 rather have that being face for I don't 01:19:58.618 --> 01:20:00.562 deny it . I think it's fun , but I 01:20:00.562 --> 01:20:00.440 think it should be in face for and I 01:20:00.440 --> 01:20:02.551 think we should have infrastructure . 01:20:02.610 --> 01:20:05.080 And I think we should have a payroll 01:20:05.080 --> 01:20:08.330 tax , uh , moratorium , 01:20:08.860 --> 01:20:10.916 because that's something that over a 01:20:10.916 --> 01:20:13.290 period of time , the workers get , you 01:20:13.290 --> 01:20:15.457 know , sort of semi immediately . It's 01:20:15.457 --> 01:20:17.512 over that period of time . It starts 01:20:17.512 --> 01:20:19.734 immediately , but it's over a period of 01:20:19.734 --> 01:20:21.679 that . I mean , there are a lot of 01:20:21.679 --> 01:20:23.679 people . I'm one of them that would 01:20:23.679 --> 01:20:23.400 have liked to have seen the payroll tax 01:20:23.400 --> 01:20:26.180 cut as a permanent cut , but we should 01:20:26.180 --> 01:20:29.570 do the double edged meaning business 01:20:30.260 --> 01:20:32.850 employee payroll tax cut . So we're 01:20:32.850 --> 01:20:35.017 talking about that , and I'm certainly 01:20:35.017 --> 01:20:36.850 okay with helping the States and 01:20:36.850 --> 01:20:38.906 helping the hospitals . I just think 01:20:38.906 --> 01:20:41.072 because look the hospitals need help , 01:20:41.072 --> 01:20:43.183 you see what they've gone through and 01:20:43.183 --> 01:20:45.350 the state's need help . Some states in 01:20:45.350 --> 01:20:45.120 particular need help . They need big 01:20:45.120 --> 01:20:47.280 health . I'm willing to look at that 01:20:47.280 --> 01:20:49.391 very strongly , but I like looking at 01:20:49.391 --> 01:20:53.020 it and face for the 2 51 is . Actually 01:20:54.170 --> 01:20:56.114 the plan is working out well , the 01:20:56.114 --> 01:20:58.003 banks of getting started with the 01:20:58.003 --> 01:21:00.059 distribution they've taken thousands 01:21:00.059 --> 01:21:02.059 and thousands of applications . The 01:21:02.059 --> 01:21:04.114 numbers aren't even believable . The 01:21:04.114 --> 01:21:06.281 number of applications they're swamped 01:21:06.281 --> 01:21:09.090 with Bank of America and Wells Fargo . 01:21:09.090 --> 01:21:11.312 And I guess Citi . Citibank is just now 01:21:11.312 --> 01:21:13.570 kicking in and also what nobody's 01:21:13.570 --> 01:21:15.737 talking about . The commercial banks , 01:21:15.737 --> 01:21:18.500 the the community banks , everyone's 01:21:18.500 --> 01:21:20.222 talking commercial banks , the 01:21:20.222 --> 01:21:22.278 community banks are doing tremendous 01:21:22.278 --> 01:21:24.500 volumes and they're probably doing them 01:21:24.500 --> 01:21:26.500 faster . From what I understand , I 01:21:26.500 --> 01:21:28.667 hear the community banks , frankly are 01:21:28.667 --> 01:21:30.722 the easiest ones in terms of getting 01:21:30.722 --> 01:21:32.944 the money out . So the money is getting 01:21:32.944 --> 01:21:35.056 out . The applications are far beyond 01:21:35.056 --> 01:21:37.167 what we ever anticipated , and that's 01:21:37.167 --> 01:21:39.389 why that's why we're going because this 01:21:39.389 --> 01:21:41.500 is money that goes essentially to the 01:21:41.500 --> 01:21:43.556 workers we want . The business is to 01:21:43.556 --> 01:21:45.667 hold on to their workers because once 01:21:45.667 --> 01:21:47.889 they lose the workers and never opening 01:21:47.889 --> 01:21:47.230 again . It's not gonna happen . Okay ? 01:21:47.230 --> 01:21:49.740 In the back garden level from lawsuits . 01:21:49.750 --> 01:21:51.917 Colonel , I wonder if you could expand 01:21:51.917 --> 01:21:54.870 a little bit on your form that Mexico 01:21:54.880 --> 01:21:56.936 would take the reimbursements . Like 01:21:56.936 --> 01:21:59.047 what form ? With that tape , you said 01:21:59.047 --> 01:22:01.270 he added to the tab for the wall you 01:22:01.280 --> 01:22:03.447 mentioned and have a second question . 01:22:04.100 --> 01:22:06.100 Well , there's no real cost because 01:22:06.100 --> 01:22:08.267 we're agreeing to produce a little bit 01:22:08.267 --> 01:22:10.433 less . So Number one . It's staying in 01:22:10.433 --> 01:22:09.590 the ground . You have it . You have it 01:22:09.590 --> 01:22:11.812 for another day . It's actually cheaper 01:22:11.812 --> 01:22:13.923 than storing it where you take it out 01:22:13.923 --> 01:22:16.090 and you deliver it to a massive well , 01:22:16.090 --> 01:22:17.868 like the strategic reserves are 01:22:17.868 --> 01:22:20.220 national strategic reserves where has 01:22:20.220 --> 01:22:22.387 to be brought there . And that's , you 01:22:22.387 --> 01:22:24.442 know , an expensive process itself . 01:22:24.442 --> 01:22:27.030 But oil is getting to a point where I 01:22:27.050 --> 01:22:29.272 mean , there's some areas . Some people 01:22:29.272 --> 01:22:31.328 would say the water is more valuable 01:22:31.328 --> 01:22:33.550 than the oil . You never thought you're 01:22:33.550 --> 01:22:32.700 going to see that You never thought 01:22:32.930 --> 01:22:34.986 having covered I know you cover it . 01:22:34.986 --> 01:22:37.208 You never thought you'd be seeing oil a 01:22:37.208 --> 01:22:39.374 $20 a barrel . But how about $10 about 01:22:39.374 --> 01:22:41.597 that ? You never thought you'd say so . 01:22:41.597 --> 01:22:43.652 We are looking at it very strongly . 01:22:43.652 --> 01:22:45.763 There is no real cost . I was helping 01:22:45.763 --> 01:22:47.819 mix . I want to help Mexico out . We 01:22:47.819 --> 01:22:50.041 have a great relationship with Mexico , 01:22:50.041 --> 01:22:49.950 great relationship with the president . 01:22:49.950 --> 01:22:52.350 I really like him a lot . He's been 01:22:52.350 --> 01:22:54.572 terrific to us in the border because he 01:22:54.572 --> 01:22:56.628 stopped , he stopped . You don't see 01:22:56.628 --> 01:22:58.683 the caravans coming up anymore . You 01:22:58.683 --> 01:22:58.570 don't see all the problems . When I 01:22:58.570 --> 01:23:01.450 took office , it was unbelievable what 01:23:01.450 --> 01:23:03.700 was going on . And they are really . 01:23:03.700 --> 01:23:05.950 They have been helping us a lot and 01:23:05.950 --> 01:23:07.950 we've been helping them a lot . You 01:23:07.950 --> 01:23:10.117 know , they make product for us . They 01:23:10.117 --> 01:23:12.172 sell it to us and it's fine . It's a 01:23:12.172 --> 01:23:14.394 good relationship . It's sometimes it's 01:23:14.394 --> 01:23:16.930 a great relationship , so he could not 01:23:16.930 --> 01:23:19.080 have done any more than that . And I 01:23:19.080 --> 01:23:21.191 think there was political reasons for 01:23:21.191 --> 01:23:23.820 that for him that other other nations 01:23:23.830 --> 01:23:26.052 don't have . They don't have that . You 01:23:26.052 --> 01:23:28.163 know , the nations that we're talking 01:23:28.163 --> 01:23:30.274 about the 22 other nations that we're 01:23:30.274 --> 01:23:29.400 talking about , they just don't have 01:23:29.410 --> 01:23:32.930 that problem , so it doesn't cost us 01:23:32.930 --> 01:23:35.560 anything and yet it's very valuable . 01:23:36.000 --> 01:23:39.640 We will be reimbursed in the future , 01:23:39.650 --> 01:23:41.872 maybe in the near future , maybe in the 01:23:41.872 --> 01:23:43.761 more distant future . But will be 01:23:43.761 --> 01:23:45.872 reimbursed by Mexico in a certain way 01:23:45.872 --> 01:23:47.983 and it'll be fine . But we get Mexico 01:23:47.983 --> 01:23:50.039 over the hump now , with all of that 01:23:50.039 --> 01:23:51.983 being said , that doesn't mean the 01:23:51.983 --> 01:23:51.830 deal's gonna happen anyway , because 01:23:51.830 --> 01:23:53.774 they still have a lot of different 01:23:53.774 --> 01:23:55.608 states . But this was one of the 01:23:55.608 --> 01:23:57.830 stumbling blocks . OK , good . I made , 01:23:57.830 --> 01:23:59.830 uh , China and some other countries 01:23:59.830 --> 01:24:02.810 have been particularly active . Scene 01:24:02.810 --> 01:24:05.160 is may be taking advantage of us during 01:24:05.170 --> 01:24:07.410 this process . During this period , 01:24:07.890 --> 01:24:10.112 trying particularly active in the South 01:24:10.112 --> 01:24:11.946 Tennessee Got a carrot or down ? 01:24:11.946 --> 01:24:14.168 Obviously , What's your message to some 01:24:14.168 --> 01:24:16.470 of these adversaries ? Look the way of 01:24:16.470 --> 01:24:19.680 you . What is this ? China has 01:24:21.020 --> 01:24:23.770 taken advantage of the United States 01:24:23.780 --> 01:24:27.140 wore 30 years . Okay , 01:24:28.020 --> 01:24:29.576 I mentioned the World Trade 01:24:29.576 --> 01:24:31.840 Organization . China has taken 01:24:31.840 --> 01:24:34.250 advantage of us through that and using 01:24:34.250 --> 01:24:36.250 rules that are unfair to the United 01:24:36.250 --> 01:24:38.250 States , and they should have never 01:24:38.250 --> 01:24:40.361 been allowed . This should have never 01:24:40.361 --> 01:24:42.250 been allowed to happen when China 01:24:42.250 --> 01:24:44.306 joined and was allowed to join under 01:24:44.306 --> 01:24:46.417 those circumstances , the World Trade 01:24:46.417 --> 01:24:48.583 Organization . That was a very bad day 01:24:48.583 --> 01:24:50.750 for the United States because they had 01:24:50.750 --> 01:24:52.750 rules and regulations that were far 01:24:52.750 --> 01:24:54.972 different and far easier than our rules 01:24:54.972 --> 01:24:56.917 and regulations . Plus , they took 01:24:56.917 --> 01:24:59.028 advantage of him down to the last and 01:24:59.028 --> 01:25:01.194 you know , China and you study China , 01:25:01.194 --> 01:25:03.250 and you know what I mean . They took 01:25:03.250 --> 01:25:05.361 advantage of him like very few people 01:25:05.361 --> 01:25:05.230 would even think to take advantage of 01:25:05.230 --> 01:25:07.310 him . And again , they're considered 01:25:07.320 --> 01:25:09.800 right . A developing nation . We are 01:25:09.800 --> 01:25:11.856 not considered a developing nation . 01:25:11.860 --> 01:25:14.440 They given advantages . Okay . For many 01:25:14.440 --> 01:25:17.090 years , Jonah has ripped off the United 01:25:17.090 --> 01:25:20.120 States . And then I came along , and 01:25:20.120 --> 01:25:22.009 right now , as you know , China's 01:25:22.009 --> 01:25:24.440 paying 25% and we've taken in billions 01:25:24.440 --> 01:25:26.496 and billions and billions of dollars 01:25:26.496 --> 01:25:28.700 and terrorists from China . And I know 01:25:28.700 --> 01:25:30.867 a lot of the people kept saying , Oh , 01:25:30.867 --> 01:25:33.144 no , we're paying . We'll win that pig . 01:25:33.144 --> 01:25:35.200 You know , countries are different . 01:25:35.200 --> 01:25:37.367 Not every country is China , but China 01:25:37.367 --> 01:25:39.478 would devalue their currency and that 01:25:39.478 --> 01:25:41.200 also pour out money . And they 01:25:41.200 --> 01:25:43.367 essentially we're paying most of those 01:25:43.367 --> 01:25:45.589 terrorists , not us . And as you know , 01:25:45.589 --> 01:25:47.533 we've taken in tens of billions of 01:25:47.533 --> 01:25:49.644 dollars . They targeted our farmers , 01:25:49.644 --> 01:25:51.867 but we took in so much money that I was 01:25:51.867 --> 01:25:53.756 able to give back one year was 12 01:25:53.756 --> 01:25:55.867 billion . One year was 16 billion . I 01:25:55.867 --> 01:25:58.089 was able to give back our farmers , the 01:25:58.089 --> 01:26:00.144 money that they were targeted hurt . 01:26:00.144 --> 01:26:02.089 China bought 12 billion and bought 01:26:02.089 --> 01:26:04.256 16,000,000,001 year , 12 1 year , 16 . 01:26:04.256 --> 01:26:06.367 I was able to give him back to 12 and 01:26:06.367 --> 01:26:08.533 then give him back to 16 . The farmers 01:26:08.533 --> 01:26:10.756 and they weren't targeted , and they're 01:26:10.756 --> 01:26:12.811 all in business now . We're doing it 01:26:12.811 --> 01:26:14.533 because they got targeted in a 01:26:14.533 --> 01:26:16.533 different way . Now I'm going to be 01:26:16.533 --> 01:26:18.644 very interested to see . So we signed 01:26:18.644 --> 01:26:20.644 to deal with China , and under that 01:26:20.644 --> 01:26:22.367 deal , they're supposed to buy 01:26:22.367 --> 01:26:24.589 substantially in excess of $200 billion 01:26:24.589 --> 01:26:26.867 from us . That's not only farm product , 01:26:26.867 --> 01:26:29.033 it's manufacturing product . It's lots 01:26:29.033 --> 01:26:31.256 of different things . They're gonna buy 01:26:31.256 --> 01:26:33.478 a lot . I just want to see if they live 01:26:33.478 --> 01:26:35.700 up to that deal . I know President Xi . 01:26:35.700 --> 01:26:35.580 I would say he would live up to the 01:26:35.580 --> 01:26:38.430 deal . But remember this ? I never took 01:26:38.430 --> 01:26:41.360 off the tariff . It's still 25% . 01:26:41.360 --> 01:26:45.090 That's a big 25% of $250 billion . 01:26:45.300 --> 01:26:48.210 So for the first time and you saw her 01:26:48.210 --> 01:26:50.380 also now again , I'm going before the 01:26:50.450 --> 01:26:52.506 virus it because that's sort of like 01:26:52.506 --> 01:26:54.783 that's like let's start all over again , 01:26:54.783 --> 01:26:56.950 OK , I can't tell you that yet because 01:26:56.950 --> 01:26:59.117 that chapter hasn't been written yet . 01:26:59.117 --> 01:27:02.820 But go up . A few weeks ago , the 01:27:02.820 --> 01:27:04.764 deficit with the United States and 01:27:04.764 --> 01:27:07.060 China was coming way down . Nobody's 01:27:07.060 --> 01:27:09.060 seen that . Nobody's ever seen that 01:27:09.060 --> 01:27:11.380 before , but the deficit has come way 01:27:11.380 --> 01:27:14.480 down . So now we start a new chapter 01:27:14.810 --> 01:27:17.590 and I can only tell you if a smart 01:27:17.590 --> 01:27:20.290 person is standing where I'm standing , 01:27:20.430 --> 01:27:22.708 we're going to do very well with China , 01:27:22.980 --> 01:27:26.430 Okay ? And I think it's I have to also 01:27:26.430 --> 01:27:28.690 say this , uh , I think our 01:27:28.690 --> 01:27:30.330 relationship and having the 01:27:30.330 --> 01:27:32.920 relationship I have with John is a good 01:27:32.930 --> 01:27:35.097 thing . But for the first time , we're 01:27:35.097 --> 01:27:37.263 benefiting instead of being the sucker 01:27:37.263 --> 01:27:39.430 that could , you know , that got taken 01:27:39.430 --> 01:27:41.763 advantage for years . Nobody . You know , 01:27:41.763 --> 01:27:43.763 I said to China , How did this ever 01:27:43.763 --> 01:27:45.930 happen ? I got to know him very well . 01:27:45.930 --> 01:27:47.874 I said to him , Representatives of 01:27:47.874 --> 01:27:49.986 China at the top level , You know who 01:27:49.986 --> 01:27:51.986 I'm talking about . I say , How did 01:27:51.986 --> 01:27:54.041 this ever happen ? They looked at me 01:27:54.041 --> 01:27:55.930 and they should , but nobody ever 01:27:55.930 --> 01:27:57.930 called us . We didn't have a deal . 01:27:57.930 --> 01:27:59.986 It's not like we had a bad deal . We 01:27:59.986 --> 01:28:02.152 had worse . We didn't have any deal at 01:28:02.152 --> 01:28:04.250 all , so they just took advantage . 01:28:04.380 --> 01:28:07.810 Think of it . $500 01:28:07.820 --> 01:28:11.370 billion a year deficit , not 500 01:28:11.370 --> 01:28:13.592 million's a lot of money , right ? It's 01:28:13.592 --> 01:28:15.481 not . Everyone thinks I've made a 01:28:15.481 --> 01:28:17.592 mistake by , say , 500 trained . Know 01:28:17.592 --> 01:28:19.648 what you mean ? 500 men . And I said 01:28:19.648 --> 01:28:22.720 $500 billion a year deficit with China 01:28:22.930 --> 01:28:25.230 for a long time . But it was 200 . It 01:28:25.230 --> 01:28:29.010 was 304 105 105 156 billion . 01:28:29.010 --> 01:28:32.650 507 . $500 01:28:32.650 --> 01:28:35.890 billion plus a year deficit with China . 01:28:36.310 --> 01:28:38.780 Now I'm charging them tariffs , and you 01:28:38.780 --> 01:28:40.891 know , it's very interesting a lot of 01:28:40.891 --> 01:28:43.280 people that I don't want to do that . 01:28:43.750 --> 01:28:45.750 They all agreed , because China has 01:28:45.750 --> 01:28:47.950 taken advantage of this country like 01:28:47.960 --> 01:28:50.670 nobody has ever taken . We have built 01:28:50.680 --> 01:28:52.990 China with the money we gave them . Now 01:28:53.600 --> 01:28:55.860 I give them a lot of credit . Okay ? I 01:28:55.860 --> 01:28:58.193 give them a lot of credit . They did it . 01:28:58.650 --> 01:29:00.761 But you know what ? We made it a hell 01:29:00.761 --> 01:29:02.594 of a lot easier . We gave them a 01:29:02.594 --> 01:29:04.960 fortune . Good . How about you ? Mr 01:29:04.970 --> 01:29:07.960 President ? I'm Debra Saunders Journal 01:29:08.360 --> 01:29:12.090 here . Today's report . So I like to 01:29:12.090 --> 01:29:13.979 ask you a question and then ask a 01:29:13.979 --> 01:29:16.034 question from one of the reporters . 01:29:16.034 --> 01:29:18.260 Wouldn't be here because so Thank you , 01:29:18.270 --> 01:29:21.950 Little . Thank you . I'm just 01:29:21.950 --> 01:29:23.950 warning you have been tested for an 01:29:23.950 --> 01:29:26.300 advise if you've taken . And if I say 01:29:26.490 --> 01:29:30.290 yes , I know . Tell me . 01:29:30.290 --> 01:29:33.680 No task force . Test it for antibodies 01:29:36.010 --> 01:29:38.010 you don't have that will come out . 01:29:38.010 --> 01:29:40.066 They've just developed those steps . 01:29:40.066 --> 01:29:43.260 Sort of new . Okay . Good . Um , so 01:29:43.260 --> 01:29:45.260 that this question is from Andrew . 01:29:45.260 --> 01:29:47.670 Find work with Newsweek . The amount of 01:29:47.680 --> 01:29:49.847 federal aid was made available to bone 01:29:49.847 --> 01:29:52.013 and recently signed cares , actually , 01:29:52.013 --> 01:29:54.069 package . But according to sources , 01:29:54.069 --> 01:29:56.236 Boeing executives are still planning a 01:29:56.236 --> 01:29:58.458 round of layoffs . So should Baldwin or 01:29:58.458 --> 01:30:00.680 any company accepts federal aid to stay 01:30:00.680 --> 01:30:02.847 in business , expand on that penalized 01:30:02.847 --> 01:30:05.069 for laying off workers after doing so . 01:30:05.070 --> 01:30:07.348 Well , the eight hasn't been given yet , 01:30:07.348 --> 01:30:09.681 but they will be asking , In my opinion , 01:30:09.681 --> 01:30:11.903 they haven't even asked yet . Boeing is 01:30:11.903 --> 01:30:13.959 not aspirated yet , but I think they 01:30:13.959 --> 01:30:16.126 probably will now , at the same time , 01:30:16.126 --> 01:30:18.170 they do have to run a company . You 01:30:18.170 --> 01:30:20.337 know , this isn't a great time to sell 01:30:20.337 --> 01:30:22.392 airplanes . It's like it ourselves . 01:30:22.392 --> 01:30:24.503 Okay , if your business person Boeing 01:30:24.503 --> 01:30:26.337 makes airplanes , they had a big 01:30:26.337 --> 01:30:28.392 problem with one , but they make the 01:30:28.392 --> 01:30:30.614 greatest airplanes . They make the best 01:30:30.614 --> 01:30:32.726 airplanes in the world . They had the 01:30:32.726 --> 01:30:34.670 problem with one . They got it too 01:30:34.670 --> 01:30:36.781 complex . It becomes so complex . You 01:30:36.781 --> 01:30:36.480 have to be number one in your class at 01:30:36.480 --> 01:30:38.860 M I t . To be able to fly it . It's a 01:30:38.860 --> 01:30:41.027 mistake . Every two years they want to 01:30:41.027 --> 01:30:43.138 make it more and more . I mean , they 01:30:43.138 --> 01:30:45.490 had great success with 7 37 the Boeing 01:30:45.490 --> 01:30:48.160 7 37 Then all of a sudden they do the 01:30:48.160 --> 01:30:50.490 max and they say , Let's make it more 01:30:50.490 --> 01:30:52.546 complicated . Let's put on different 01:30:52.546 --> 01:30:54.879 engines . Let's do this . Let's do that . 01:30:54.879 --> 01:30:57.440 It was not exactly a good decision . 01:30:57.670 --> 01:30:59.614 Bad decision . Very bad . Horrible 01:30:59.614 --> 01:31:02.230 decision . Uh , number one , Human 01:31:02.230 --> 01:31:05.930 lives and number two , uh , horribles . 01:31:05.930 --> 01:31:07.930 What's happened to the company is a 01:31:07.930 --> 01:31:10.097 company . From a business standpoint , 01:31:10.097 --> 01:31:11.986 it was like probably the greatest 01:31:11.986 --> 01:31:14.152 company in the world . In my opinion , 01:31:14.152 --> 01:31:16.319 I think it amounts to 1% of GDP . Some 01:31:16.319 --> 01:31:18.597 people say it's 1/2 . I think it's one , 01:31:18.597 --> 01:31:20.319 but here's one of the greatest 01:31:20.319 --> 01:31:22.430 companies anywhere . There may be the 01:31:22.430 --> 01:31:24.597 greatest and boom now , on top of what 01:31:24.597 --> 01:31:27.350 happened there with the two planes and 01:31:27.360 --> 01:31:29.527 they say they have that fixed . That's 01:31:29.527 --> 01:31:31.471 good . They say it . Have it fixed 01:31:31.471 --> 01:31:33.638 undisputedly fact . Somebody said they 01:31:33.638 --> 01:31:35.860 gave me some things that you should say 01:31:35.860 --> 01:31:38.082 it that way . They said , Sir , this is 01:31:38.082 --> 01:31:40.580 now the safest airplane in the air I 01:31:40.580 --> 01:31:42.580 said , That's what you should say . 01:31:42.860 --> 01:31:45.620 That's a very good statement . It's the 01:31:45.620 --> 01:31:47.960 safest airplane in the air . That's a 01:31:47.960 --> 01:31:50.293 very good statement . You should use it . 01:31:50.360 --> 01:31:52.471 I said , by the way , you're changing 01:31:52.471 --> 01:31:54.638 the name , but whether you do or not , 01:31:54.638 --> 01:31:56.804 you should use that . But he said that 01:31:56.804 --> 01:31:58.916 a Boeing person said to me , It's the 01:31:58.916 --> 01:32:01.027 safest airplane in the air . That's a 01:32:01.027 --> 01:32:03.249 great thing , But we know they're going 01:32:03.249 --> 01:32:05.138 to need help now . Does that mean 01:32:05.138 --> 01:32:07.249 they're going to need help ? And they 01:32:07.249 --> 01:32:09.471 should keep people that they absolutely 01:32:09.471 --> 01:32:08.680 don't need ? That business is a very 01:32:08.680 --> 01:32:10.347 cyclical business . Like many 01:32:10.347 --> 01:32:12.750 businesses , frankly , so that 01:32:12.750 --> 01:32:14.861 determination hasn't made . They have 01:32:14.861 --> 01:32:17.300 not spoken to us yet . I think they 01:32:17.300 --> 01:32:19.467 will be . Maybe they won't need help . 01:32:19.467 --> 01:32:21.578 That'll be great . Look , Boeing made 01:32:21.578 --> 01:32:23.522 so much money , who would have ? I 01:32:23.522 --> 01:32:25.744 would have thought they could evade all 01:32:25.744 --> 01:32:25.030 of those planes that are parked all 01:32:25.030 --> 01:32:27.230 over the place . In many cases , I 01:32:27.230 --> 01:32:29.810 guess payments not made . But who would 01:32:29.810 --> 01:32:31.921 have thought they could do that ? And 01:32:31.921 --> 01:32:34.570 they're still the solvent company . 01:32:35.060 --> 01:32:37.500 Okay . I mean , what a tragic thing 01:32:37.500 --> 01:32:40.730 happened in numerous ways , but also 01:32:40.730 --> 01:32:44.250 economically . So when they see us , 01:32:44.260 --> 01:32:46.640 making sure that Boeing is strong again 01:32:46.640 --> 01:32:48.473 is very , very powerful and very 01:32:48.473 --> 01:32:50.362 important and will do whatever is 01:32:50.362 --> 01:32:52.910 necessary to do . Please . Thank you . 01:32:53.200 --> 01:32:55.533 Quick . Wanted a longer one . I'm happy . 01:32:55.533 --> 01:32:57.533 Happy . Should we keep this going , 01:32:57.533 --> 01:32:59.660 Everybody . He wants to 01:33:01.440 --> 01:33:03.662 keep it going for a while . Yes . Way . 01:33:03.662 --> 01:33:05.884 Have time if you want . You like you're 01:33:05.884 --> 01:33:07.662 not gonna criticize me that the 01:33:07.662 --> 01:33:09.829 conference was too long . You know , I 01:33:09.829 --> 01:33:11.996 leave short , just left short . It was 01:33:11.996 --> 01:33:14.107 too short . If I stay too long . They 01:33:14.107 --> 01:33:16.329 said was too long . Someday we're gonna 01:33:16.329 --> 01:33:18.384 get a chest right . Okay . Should we 01:33:18.384 --> 01:33:22.180 continue ? Should we continue ? Let's 01:33:22.180 --> 01:33:25.440 at least you have a chance to speak . 01:33:26.560 --> 01:33:28.504 Have you had a chance yet to speak 01:33:28.504 --> 01:33:30.504 sports ? Johnson ? Since I have not 01:33:30.504 --> 01:33:32.616 know , I have a call just to wish him 01:33:32.616 --> 01:33:34.838 well to his to his group . No , I don't 01:33:34.838 --> 01:33:36.893 want to be calling them now . I want 01:33:36.893 --> 01:33:39.060 him to get better . He's a great guy , 01:33:39.060 --> 01:33:38.650 has become a friend of my real friend 01:33:38.650 --> 01:33:41.820 of mine . Um , you know , he has a 01:33:41.820 --> 01:33:43.820 great feeling for our country , for 01:33:43.820 --> 01:33:45.987 obviously , for his country loves it . 01:33:45.987 --> 01:33:48.153 Uh , he's , uh he's a tremendous guy , 01:33:49.020 --> 01:33:51.020 so I'm a competent become . I think 01:33:51.020 --> 01:33:53.242 he's probably right now . He was very I 01:33:53.242 --> 01:33:54.964 just I think you might be 100% 01:33:55.310 --> 01:33:57.460 popularity right now . I think he's , 01:33:57.470 --> 01:33:59.580 uh , you know , they talk about 01:33:59.580 --> 01:34:01.747 approval polls , right ? You ever hear 01:34:01.747 --> 01:34:03.969 that term ? I'm sure you've never heard 01:34:03.969 --> 01:34:05.969 that . I hear it all the time . His 01:34:05.969 --> 01:34:08.191 approval ready must be about 300% . But 01:34:08.191 --> 01:34:10.136 he's a He's a great guy . He was a 01:34:10.136 --> 01:34:12.247 great guy before , and I think people 01:34:12.247 --> 01:34:14.413 see what he's been through . What he's 01:34:14.413 --> 01:34:13.690 been through is incredible , and they 01:34:13.690 --> 01:34:15.900 say a big turn . So let's see what 01:34:15.900 --> 01:34:18.600 happens . Let's hope , Andi , if I'm a 01:34:19.340 --> 01:34:22.350 where do you see of use off something 01:34:22.350 --> 01:34:24.580 like immunity certificates or documents 01:34:24.580 --> 01:34:26.390 or passports ? When we get into 01:34:26.390 --> 01:34:28.334 something like this , you immunity 01:34:28.334 --> 01:34:30.557 certificates ? Once we get the antibody 01:34:30.557 --> 01:34:32.779 testing whether this will be useful way 01:34:32.779 --> 01:34:34.834 Well , I see a lot of Yeah , I see a 01:34:34.834 --> 01:34:36.946 lot of different things . We're gonna 01:34:36.946 --> 01:34:39.112 be very careful for who comes into the 01:34:39.112 --> 01:34:41.220 country . Look , uh , my opposition 01:34:41.220 --> 01:34:43.470 party wants to have open borders that 01:34:43.480 --> 01:34:46.560 this is a case where I'm very glad that 01:34:46.570 --> 01:34:48.403 my position is I don't want open 01:34:48.403 --> 01:34:50.459 borders . I want very strong borders 01:34:50.459 --> 01:34:52.626 that includes not only on the southern 01:34:52.626 --> 01:34:54.514 border , our southern border with 01:34:54.514 --> 01:34:56.514 Mexico . And you could also say our 01:34:56.514 --> 01:34:58.830 northern border with Canada . But we 01:34:58.830 --> 01:35:01.050 want to have strong borders . And I 01:35:01.050 --> 01:35:04.150 think this is maybe , uh , one of the 01:35:04.150 --> 01:35:06.317 learning points . We learned something 01:35:06.317 --> 01:35:08.428 about Borders . We need borders . The 01:35:08.428 --> 01:35:10.428 country needs borders to be a great 01:35:10.428 --> 01:35:12.650 country . And this is I think this is a 01:35:12.650 --> 01:35:14.706 great point . Did you have something 01:35:14.706 --> 01:35:16.761 else ? I was just thinking about for 01:35:16.761 --> 01:35:16.500 Borders . I just thought for ordinary 01:35:16.500 --> 01:35:18.556 Americans who are currently stuck at 01:35:18.556 --> 01:35:20.833 home if they're testing for antibodies . 01:35:20.833 --> 01:35:23.056 You stated that you had the disease and 01:35:23.056 --> 01:35:25.278 therefore shouldn't be infected again . 01:35:25.278 --> 01:35:27.444 Some sort of documentation would allow 01:35:27.444 --> 01:35:29.667 them to go back to work safe . You mean 01:35:29.667 --> 01:35:31.778 wants to get better ? Yeah . People . 01:35:31.778 --> 01:35:33.611 Okay , so they have to disease , 01:35:33.611 --> 01:35:35.556 they're better . And they have the 01:35:35.556 --> 01:35:37.770 immunity . Now they have supposedly , 01:35:37.770 --> 01:35:39.937 according to what I'm hearing it could 01:35:39.937 --> 01:35:41.937 be for a long period could be for a 01:35:41.937 --> 01:35:44.103 lifetime . It could also be for a year 01:35:44.103 --> 01:35:46.214 or two . I'm hearing Tony so nobody's 01:35:46.214 --> 01:35:48.326 told me yet . If it's for a year , if 01:35:48.326 --> 01:35:50.326 it's for two years or if it's for a 01:35:50.326 --> 01:35:52.437 lifetime , like chickenpox , they say 01:35:52.437 --> 01:35:51.850 If you have chickenpox , you have 01:35:51.850 --> 01:35:54.250 immunity . They say for a lifetime , I 01:35:54.250 --> 01:35:57.290 hope that's true . But but nobody's 01:35:57.290 --> 01:35:59.290 actually told me with certainty May 01:35:59.290 --> 01:36:01.512 because they don't know yet . You don't 01:36:01.512 --> 01:36:03.679 know yet because it's new . You know , 01:36:03.679 --> 01:36:05.734 This came upon us . Nobody knew . We 01:36:05.734 --> 01:36:07.846 just we just They do know you have it 01:36:07.846 --> 01:36:10.120 for a period of time and it's strong 01:36:10.200 --> 01:36:12.367 for a period of time they don't know . 01:36:12.367 --> 01:36:14.533 That's hence the antibodies that we're 01:36:14.533 --> 01:36:16.589 making . Uh , so somebody was really 01:36:16.589 --> 01:36:19.410 sick and he got better a young person , 01:36:19.410 --> 01:36:23.030 relatively young person , 35 and 01:36:23.040 --> 01:36:25.660 physically fit , you know , and he he 01:36:25.660 --> 01:36:27.882 got better . He made it barely , but he 01:36:27.882 --> 01:36:29.882 made it his first thing that he did 01:36:29.882 --> 01:36:32.070 when he was better . I want to give I 01:36:32.080 --> 01:36:34.080 want to give whatever I can give to 01:36:34.080 --> 01:36:36.302 help other people because nobody should 01:36:36.302 --> 01:36:38.469 go through . It's a tough It's a tough 01:36:38.469 --> 01:36:40.580 thing , so we don't know yet how long 01:36:40.580 --> 01:36:42.802 If you'd like to add anything to that , 01:36:42.802 --> 01:36:44.913 but we don't know yet . If it isn't a 01:36:44.913 --> 01:36:46.969 year , it will be a year . But is it 01:36:46.969 --> 01:36:49.191 more than a year and only time is gonna 01:36:49.191 --> 01:36:51.590 tell . Okay . Thank you . Well , you 01:36:51.590 --> 01:36:54.310 have governor spares members of 01:36:54.320 --> 01:36:56.650 Congress on the Open Country Council . 01:36:57.210 --> 01:36:59.432 Yeah , I think so .

I've actually 01:37:05.543 --> 01:37:07.321 become friends with some of the 01:37:07.321 --> 01:37:09.543 Democrat governors that I wouldn't have 01:37:09.543 --> 01:37:11.710 really had the privilege of getting to 01:37:11.710 --> 01:37:14.390 know . And , uh , Governor Murphy of 01:37:14.590 --> 01:37:18.170 New Jersey's a very liberal guy . I'm 01:37:18.170 --> 01:37:20.070 not , but we've had a great 01:37:20.070 --> 01:37:23.380 relationship . John Bell . As you know , 01:37:23.390 --> 01:37:25.446 I go home .

And but you saved 3 $4000 01:37:47.010 --> 01:37:49.910 per environmentally equal . We're 01:37:49.910 --> 01:37:53.010 better . Maybe . And we're fighting on 01:37:53.010 --> 01:37:55.121 that were fighting a lot of different 01:37:55.121 --> 01:37:57.177 things . We fight on the border .

I mean , he's 01:38:08.114 --> 01:38:10.170 been , I think , sort of a friend of 01:38:10.170 --> 01:38:12.392 mine for a long time . Don't get to see 01:38:12.392 --> 01:38:14.559 much , but Governor Cuomo off New York 01:38:14.559 --> 01:38:16.726 would talk all the time . I told you I 01:38:16.726 --> 01:38:18.948 smoke them literally the last call just 01:38:18.948 --> 01:38:20.892 before walking in here .

Go ahead in the back of your 01:38:55.830 --> 01:38:58.240 questions . If I may , Do you have a 01:38:58.250 --> 01:39:01.180 message to those postures who are still 01:39:01.190 --> 01:39:03.134 planning to have Easter service is 01:39:03.134 --> 01:39:05.680 defying the public health guidelines ? 01:39:05.870 --> 01:39:08.092 Well , you're going to say it louder to 01:39:08.092 --> 01:39:10.400 those what those Foster's wa still 01:39:10.400 --> 01:39:12.670 planning to have Easter service is . 01:39:13.660 --> 01:39:15.710 He's a pastor .

Uh , 01:39:22.920 --> 01:39:25.590 I've had talks with the pastors and 01:39:25.590 --> 01:39:28.350 most of the pastor's agree and very 01:39:28.350 --> 01:39:30.461 complex subject . Let's face it , you 01:39:30.461 --> 01:39:32.517 know , for the obvious reasons don't 01:39:32.517 --> 01:39:34.406 have to go into . And most of the 01:39:34.406 --> 01:39:36.628 pastors agreed that they are better off 01:39:36.628 --> 01:39:38.628 doing what they're doing , which is 01:39:38.628 --> 01:39:41.560 distancing . Uh , they feel that Let's 01:39:41.560 --> 01:39:43.671 get this over with , and they want to 01:39:43.671 --> 01:39:45.838 get back to church so badly .

Let's get healed before we do 01:41:47.700 --> 01:41:50.680 this And this time to do that , we'll 01:41:50.680 --> 01:41:52.970 do it for hopefully the rest of our 01:41:52.970 --> 01:41:56.830 lives , please . The mercy and the 01:41:56.840 --> 01:42:00.030 comfort seemed to be under utilized in 01:42:00.750 --> 01:42:03.110 New York . Is there any consideration 01:42:03.120 --> 01:42:05.770 either to sending medical units into 01:42:05.780 --> 01:42:08.630 the city's toe help hospitals , their 01:42:08.640 --> 01:42:11.140 wards to move in the audience trips so 01:42:11.140 --> 01:42:14.380 the mercy and comfort were sent when 01:42:14.390 --> 01:42:17.720 projections were much higher ? Then I 01:42:17.720 --> 01:42:21.580 say Tony backed it up . Debra's made 01:42:21.580 --> 01:42:24.580 the statement . They said You're not 01:42:24.590 --> 01:42:26.812 going to need these many rooms , but we 01:42:26.812 --> 01:42:28.868 wanted to be prepared . I mean , you 01:42:28.868 --> 01:42:30.923 know , we had the ship . They did an 01:42:30.923 --> 01:42:33.034 incredible job with . The Comfort was 01:42:33.034 --> 01:42:35.034 supposed to be in maintenance for a 01:42:35.034 --> 01:42:37.201 period of four weeks , and they had it 01:42:37.201 --> 01:42:39.423 done in 3.5 4 days and it came up . And 01:42:39.423 --> 01:42:42.190 so we had it there . If there was a a 01:42:42.190 --> 01:42:44.190 disaster from the standpoint of you 01:42:44.190 --> 01:42:46.301 needed all of the tell you the Javits 01:42:46.301 --> 01:42:49.080 Center , uh , Andrew will tell you we 01:42:49.080 --> 01:42:51.247 were ready to go . It's incredible the 01:42:51.247 --> 01:42:53.250 job they did , but they're they're 01:42:53.250 --> 01:42:55.472 using less beds is a good thing , not a 01:42:55.472 --> 01:42:58.450 bad thing . They using less pets Now . 01:42:58.450 --> 01:43:00.910 Javits has been pretty busy over the 01:43:00.910 --> 01:43:03.980 last couple of days , and the death 01:43:03.990 --> 01:43:07.690 numbers are horrific . But you go back 01:43:07.700 --> 01:43:09.922 now and you're finding they're going to 01:43:09.922 --> 01:43:12.144 start to come down very substantially , 01:43:12.144 --> 01:43:14.144 just based on the fact that the bed 01:43:14.144 --> 01:43:16.144 usage the number of beds are much , 01:43:16.144 --> 01:43:18.800 much less much , much less so . The 01:43:18.800 --> 01:43:21.022 mercy of the comfort were there in case 01:43:21.022 --> 01:43:23.320 they needed him . Los Angeles , where 01:43:23.880 --> 01:43:26.310 you have the one in New York we have 01:43:26.310 --> 01:43:28.320 the other , they just don't . Uh , 01:43:28.700 --> 01:43:30.756 fortunately , we haven't hit numbers 01:43:30.756 --> 01:43:32.867 where they would have they would have 01:43:32.867 --> 01:43:34.867 been used . They're always gonna be 01:43:34.867 --> 01:43:37.089 sort of overflow because they're on the 01:43:37.089 --> 01:43:36.880 edges . You know , they're they're not 01:43:36.880 --> 01:43:39.830 as convenient as certain places . But 01:43:39.840 --> 01:43:42.010 the people were ready , willing and 01:43:42.010 --> 01:43:44.177 able . They were ready to go . They're 01:43:44.177 --> 01:43:46.454 gonna do a great job , but fortunately , 01:43:46.454 --> 01:43:48.621 we don't need just like we didn't need 01:43:48.621 --> 01:43:50.566 as many ventilators when they were 01:43:50.566 --> 01:43:52.232 asking in New York for 40,000 01:43:52.232 --> 01:43:54.232 ventilators . I had experts , these 01:43:54.232 --> 01:43:56.343 people , I listen to them . They said 01:43:56.343 --> 01:43:58.566 you'll never need that money . And they 01:43:58.566 --> 01:44:00.621 were right in New York Now , as it's 01:44:00.621 --> 01:44:02.732 and I dealt really well with Mayor de 01:44:02.732 --> 01:44:04.343 Blasio , we got him a lot of 01:44:04.343 --> 01:44:06.288 ventilators . We got into a lot of 01:44:06.288 --> 01:44:08.288 ventilators , but we never felt you 01:44:08.288 --> 01:44:10.121 needed the numbers that you were 01:44:10.121 --> 01:44:12.177 talking about . And we were right on 01:44:12.177 --> 01:44:11.630 that . Now , with all of that being 01:44:11.630 --> 01:44:14.530 said , we have a lot of ventilators 01:44:14.540 --> 01:44:16.540 ready to go . We have almost 10,000 01:44:16.540 --> 01:44:19.000 into stockpile that 10,000 can move 01:44:19.000 --> 01:44:21.310 rapidly , weaken , be within 24 hours , 01:44:21.320 --> 01:44:24.230 almost anywhere . Uh , and hopefully 01:44:24.230 --> 01:44:26.341 we're not gonna have to be , but it's 01:44:26.341 --> 01:44:28.830 just it's really this has been a great 01:44:29.330 --> 01:44:31.552 military operation . It hasn't all been 01:44:31.552 --> 01:44:33.552 military because we're dealing with 01:44:33.552 --> 01:44:35.663 great companies . Were have companies 01:44:35.663 --> 01:44:37.830 that are making masks with , and we're 01:44:37.830 --> 01:44:39.941 all set up in the mass to I just told 01:44:39.941 --> 01:44:42.219 you we have a new order coming in soon . 01:44:42.219 --> 01:44:45.880 500 million masks , 500 million . We 01:44:45.880 --> 01:44:47.880 have companies . You know the story 01:44:47.880 --> 01:44:51.580 with GM or three m also GM . But 01:44:51.580 --> 01:44:54.960 three m is doing a great job . I spoke 01:44:54.960 --> 01:44:57.071 to the CEO the other day . We settled 01:44:57.071 --> 01:44:59.610 it out , we had a dispute with them and 01:44:59.610 --> 01:45:02.660 it's now well settled . And I think 01:45:02.660 --> 01:45:04.604 they're trying to show the country 01:45:04.604 --> 01:45:06.660 something . Maybe me but the country 01:45:06.660 --> 01:45:10.250 something . So , uh , we've done , you 01:45:10.250 --> 01:45:13.420 know , I think and not me . I'm not 01:45:13.430 --> 01:45:15.880 talking about this country , our 01:45:15.880 --> 01:45:18.047 country , the people that are doing an 01:45:18.047 --> 01:45:20.047 Army Corps of Engineers , FEMA thes 01:45:20.047 --> 01:45:22.269 people sitting right here , people that 01:45:22.269 --> 01:45:24.158 we have in the back , uh that are 01:45:24.160 --> 01:45:26.410 watching every word that we're saying 01:45:27.250 --> 01:45:29.250 they've done a fantastic job . They 01:45:29.250 --> 01:45:31.194 really have done a fantastic job . 01:45:31.194 --> 01:45:33.670 Please . I ask you a question about 01:45:33.680 --> 01:45:35.560 testing . You mentioned the 01:45:35.570 --> 01:45:37.590 impossibility of testing the entire 01:45:37.590 --> 01:45:39.710 American public . So has what we have 01:45:39.720 --> 01:45:41.998 to search in general . What do we have ? 01:45:41.998 --> 01:45:44.053 350 million people you're gonna do ? 01:45:44.053 --> 01:45:46.276 That's not what I'm getting at what I'm 01:45:46.276 --> 01:45:48.220 getting at his priorities . And Dr 01:45:48.220 --> 01:45:50.220 Brooks has mentioned how there have 01:45:50.220 --> 01:45:52.164 been priorities , certain regional 01:45:52.164 --> 01:45:54.331 parts of the country . And I wanted to 01:45:54.331 --> 01:45:56.553 ask you specifically about one industry 01:45:56.553 --> 01:45:58.331 in particular . And that's food 01:45:58.331 --> 01:46:00.553 processing plants . Is there a priority 01:46:00.553 --> 01:46:02.442 to get testing at food processing 01:46:02.442 --> 01:46:04.609 plants all across the country ? What , 01:46:04.609 --> 01:46:06.553 you're asking that because of what 01:46:06.553 --> 01:46:08.887 happened ? It's a fair question to , uh , 01:46:08.887 --> 01:46:10.942 what happened in Denver , because in 01:46:10.942 --> 01:46:12.831 Denver , I've never seen I said , 01:46:12.831 --> 01:46:12.790 What's going on ? We're looking at this 01:46:12.790 --> 01:46:14.623 graph where everything's looking 01:46:14.623 --> 01:46:16.679 beautiful and it's coming down . And 01:46:16.679 --> 01:46:19.030 then you got this one Spike . It's I 01:46:19.030 --> 01:46:22.650 said , what happened in Denver and 01:46:22.660 --> 01:46:26.490 many people very quickly and by the way 01:46:26.490 --> 01:46:29.140 they were on it like so fast you 01:46:29.140 --> 01:46:31.251 wouldn't believe it . They knew every 01:46:31.251 --> 01:46:33.251 aspect . They have people going not 01:46:33.251 --> 01:46:35.418 only testing . Who did you see ? Where 01:46:35.418 --> 01:46:37.751 were you ? How many people did you meet ? 01:46:37.751 --> 01:46:39.640 Will you act a dinner in somebody 01:46:39.640 --> 01:46:42.300 else's home ? Where were you with that ? 01:46:42.300 --> 01:46:44.356 Where did this number of people come 01:46:44.356 --> 01:46:46.689 from . How did they are ? Totally on it . 01:46:46.689 --> 01:46:48.800 Now . This just happened . I just saw 01:46:48.800 --> 01:46:48.120 it this morning . I'm looking at 01:46:48.130 --> 01:46:51.250 everything smooth going down , topping 01:46:51.250 --> 01:46:53.361 out . Then you have this one spike in 01:46:53.361 --> 01:46:55.361 Denver . It's like , Where did this 01:46:55.361 --> 01:46:57.694 come from ? So we'll be looking at that . 01:46:57.694 --> 01:46:59.583 And we don't want cases like that 01:46:59.583 --> 01:47:01.639 happening . This was But this is the 01:47:01.639 --> 01:47:03.870 kind of thing can happen . This is very 01:47:03.870 --> 01:47:06.390 complex . Is Avery brilliant enemy ? 01:47:06.400 --> 01:47:08.400 You know , it's a brilliant enemy . 01:47:08.480 --> 01:47:11.780 They develop drugs like the antibiotics . 01:47:11.790 --> 01:47:14.030 You see it . Antibiotics use yourself 01:47:14.030 --> 01:47:15.863 every problem . Now , one of the 01:47:15.863 --> 01:47:19.560 biggest problems the world has is the 01:47:19.560 --> 01:47:22.810 germ has gotten so brilliant that the 01:47:22.810 --> 01:47:24.921 anti Brad , I can't keep up with it . 01:47:24.921 --> 01:47:27.032 And they're constantly trying to come 01:47:27.032 --> 01:47:28.866 up with the new people , go to a 01:47:28.866 --> 01:47:31.088 hospital , and they catch they go for a 01:47:31.088 --> 01:47:33.199 heart operation . That's no problem . 01:47:33.199 --> 01:47:34.977 But they end up dying from from 01:47:34.977 --> 01:47:37.143 problems . You know , the problems I'm 01:47:37.143 --> 01:47:39.590 talking about , uh , there's a whole 01:47:39.590 --> 01:47:41.830 genius to it . We're fighting . Not 01:47:41.830 --> 01:47:44.163 only is it hidden , but it's very smart . 01:47:44.163 --> 01:47:47.580 Okay , it's invisible and it's hidden , 01:47:47.660 --> 01:47:50.470 but it's it's very smart . And you see 01:47:50.470 --> 01:47:53.020 that in a case like a Denver . But , 01:47:53.720 --> 01:47:55.942 you know , I think we're doing well and 01:47:55.942 --> 01:47:57.942 they're on Denver like you wouldn't 01:47:57.942 --> 01:48:00.109 believe . I came in this morning was a 01:48:00.109 --> 01:48:02.109 flurry . I said , What's going on ? 01:48:02.109 --> 01:48:01.700 They said , Denver So what happened in 01:48:01.710 --> 01:48:03.599 Denver ? Because Denver was doing 01:48:03.599 --> 01:48:06.070 pretty well and they've got that under 01:48:06.070 --> 01:48:08.126 control . But yeah , that would be a 01:48:08.126 --> 01:48:10.403 case where you do some very big tastic . 01:48:10.403 --> 01:48:12.403 Peter . Mr . President , we learned 01:48:12.403 --> 01:48:11.960 that more than 60 million Americans 01:48:11.960 --> 01:48:14.016 filed for unemployment over the past 01:48:14.016 --> 01:48:16.127 three weeks . It's good Friday . It's 01:48:16.127 --> 01:48:18.016 payday . We're seeing troubling , 01:48:18.016 --> 01:48:20.520 paralyzing lines at food banks around 01:48:20.520 --> 01:48:22.687 the country . What do you say to those 01:48:22.687 --> 01:48:24.909 Americans and leave right this moment ? 01:48:24.909 --> 01:48:27.020 Uh , number one . I love him . Number 01:48:27.020 --> 01:48:29.076 two , We're working really hard . It 01:48:29.076 --> 01:48:31.020 wasn't their fault what happened . 01:48:31.020 --> 01:48:33.187 Sometimes they don't do a good job and 01:48:33.187 --> 01:48:35.464 they lose their job . That's one thing . 01:48:35.464 --> 01:48:37.298 This is a case where we take the 01:48:37.298 --> 01:48:39.520 strongest economy in the history of the 01:48:39.520 --> 01:48:41.409 world . Which is what we had more 01:48:41.409 --> 01:48:43.520 people working in the United States , 01:48:43.520 --> 01:48:45.520 Peter than ever before . Almost . I 01:48:45.520 --> 01:48:47.560 mean , look at the numbers . 160 01:48:47.880 --> 01:48:49.991 million people , almost just short of 01:48:49.991 --> 01:48:53.660 160 Excuse me . So we have the greatest 01:48:53.660 --> 01:48:56.210 economy we've ever had . By the way , 01:48:56.670 --> 01:48:58.820 the black unemployment , Hispanic 01:48:58.820 --> 01:49:01.042 unemployment , Asian unemployment , the 01:49:01.042 --> 01:49:02.960 best numbers we've ever had in 01:49:02.960 --> 01:49:05.380 virtually every way . And then you get 01:49:05.380 --> 01:49:07.890 hit like this . And it's traumatic 01:49:08.370 --> 01:49:10.426 people that had great jobs that went 01:49:10.426 --> 01:49:12.592 out to dinner and they didn't have any 01:49:12.592 --> 01:49:14.926 problems and take their family , though . 01:49:15.770 --> 01:49:17.890 Well , turkey , they go from that , 01:49:18.670 --> 01:49:21.770 that so hard and they're gonna be back . 01:49:22.150 --> 01:49:24.261 And I hope they're gonna be back even 01:49:24.261 --> 01:49:26.261 stronger than before . But if I can 01:49:26.261 --> 01:49:28.428 just follow up , you chose not to do a 01:49:28.428 --> 01:49:30.594 national stay at home order . Now that 01:49:30.594 --> 01:49:32.817 you say you want to reopen parts of the 01:49:32.817 --> 01:49:35.039 economy , what authority do you have to 01:49:35.039 --> 01:49:37.206 do that ? Is that ultimately up to the 01:49:37.206 --> 01:49:39.206 States to do that ? You know , it's 01:49:39.206 --> 01:49:41.428 really the States can do things if they 01:49:41.428 --> 01:49:43.483 want . I can override it if I want . 01:49:43.483 --> 01:49:45.594 But the National State home , Just so 01:49:45.594 --> 01:49:48.770 you understand , 95% of the country is 01:49:48.780 --> 01:49:50.947 stayed home like as an example , I was 01:49:50.947 --> 01:49:52.947 speaking with the great governor of 01:49:52.947 --> 01:49:55.058 Texas , Greg Abbott , the other day . 01:49:55.058 --> 01:49:57.169 Uh , he has a stay at home . A lot of 01:49:57.169 --> 01:49:59.391 people didn't even know it , but he had 01:49:59.391 --> 01:50:01.558 to stay at home . Some people reported 01:50:01.558 --> 01:50:03.447 Texas wasn't He had a very strong 01:50:03.447 --> 01:50:05.669 actually , a very strong statement . 95 01:50:05.669 --> 01:50:08.600 to 96% . South Carolina , as you know , 01:50:08.600 --> 01:50:11.520 has it which at one point a week ago , 01:50:11.520 --> 01:50:13.409 they didn't have South Carolina . 01:50:13.409 --> 01:50:15.890 Another great governor , McMaster Uh , 01:50:16.200 --> 01:50:20.060 no , uh , 95% of the country 01:50:20.060 --> 01:50:22.750 is covered now the states that aren't 01:50:22.830 --> 01:50:25.900 and again , constitutionally , from a 01:50:25.900 --> 01:50:28.280 federalist standpoint , if I thought 01:50:28.280 --> 01:50:30.447 there was a problem , if I saw a state 01:50:30.447 --> 01:50:32.447 with a problem , I would absolutely 01:50:32.447 --> 01:50:34.558 demand it . But they're doing great . 01:50:34.558 --> 01:50:36.669 And the states that aren't are states 01:50:36.669 --> 01:50:39.690 that have not had a big problem re open 01:50:39.830 --> 01:50:41.941 right now . The same way that's up to 01:50:41.941 --> 01:50:44.163 the States to shut it down after them , 01:50:44.163 --> 01:50:46.274 right ? Have I have great authority . 01:50:46.274 --> 01:50:45.980 If I want to use it , I would rather 01:50:45.980 --> 01:50:48.202 have the States use it . I would rather 01:50:48.202 --> 01:50:50.369 and this is so shocking for me . A lot 01:50:50.369 --> 01:50:52.424 of people saying , Wow , he's really 01:50:52.424 --> 01:50:52.260 very reason doesn't a lot of people the 01:50:52.260 --> 01:50:54.310 shock , they think I do it , I have 01:50:54.320 --> 01:50:56.710 absolute authority to use it . But so 01:50:56.710 --> 01:50:59.120 far , our relationship with governors 01:50:59.130 --> 01:51:01.241 and the job they're doing . I haven't 01:51:01.241 --> 01:51:03.463 had to do it . Would I do it If I saw a 01:51:03.463 --> 01:51:05.630 state that was out of control and they 01:51:05.630 --> 01:51:07.797 didn't have to stay at home policy , I 01:51:07.797 --> 01:51:09.963 would do it in a heartbeat . Jeff . Mr 01:51:09.963 --> 01:51:12.130 President , there's obviously a lot of 01:51:12.130 --> 01:51:14.186 interest in how you're going to make 01:51:14.186 --> 01:51:16.241 that decision . What , What ? It's a 01:51:16.241 --> 01:51:18.463 very big decision . What ? I don't know 01:51:18.463 --> 01:51:20.519 that I've had a bigger decision than 01:51:20.519 --> 01:51:22.630 that . When you think I think of that 01:51:22.630 --> 01:51:24.741 decision , somebody said it's totally 01:51:24.741 --> 01:51:24.510 up to the president . I saw this one . 01:51:24.510 --> 01:51:26.621 It's totally up . And it is . I don't 01:51:26.621 --> 01:51:28.843 know that I've had a big decision , but 01:51:28.843 --> 01:51:30.954 I'm going to surround myself with the 01:51:30.954 --> 01:51:33.960 greatest minds not only the greatest 01:51:33.960 --> 01:51:35.849 minds , but the greatest minds in 01:51:35.849 --> 01:51:37.627 numerous different businesses , 01:51:37.627 --> 01:51:39.810 including the business of politics and 01:51:39.810 --> 01:51:41.720 reason . And we're gonna make a 01:51:41.720 --> 01:51:43.942 decision and hopefully it's going to be 01:51:43.942 --> 01:51:46.109 the right decision . I will say this . 01:51:46.109 --> 01:51:48.442 I want to get it open as soon as we can . 01:51:48.442 --> 01:51:50.720 We have to get our country open , Jeff . 01:51:50.720 --> 01:51:52.720 Say , sir , What metrics ? You were 01:51:52.720 --> 01:51:54.720 used to make that the metrics right 01:51:54.720 --> 01:51:56.942 here . That's my metrics . That's all I 01:51:56.942 --> 01:51:59.990 can do , I can listen to 35 people at 01:51:59.990 --> 01:52:02.220 the end . I've got to make a decision 01:52:03.300 --> 01:52:05.022 and I didn't think of it until 01:52:05.022 --> 01:52:07.244 yesterday . Said , You know , this is a 01:52:07.244 --> 01:52:09.870 big decision , but I want to be guided . 01:52:10.000 --> 01:52:12.222 I'm gonna be guided by them . I'm gonna 01:52:12.222 --> 01:52:14.333 be guided by our vice president . I'm 01:52:14.333 --> 01:52:16.556 going to make a decision based on a lot 01:52:16.556 --> 01:52:18.780 of different opinions . Some will maybe 01:52:18.780 --> 01:52:20.947 disagree . And some I'd love to see it 01:52:20.947 --> 01:52:23.058 where they don't disagree . Will they 01:52:23.058 --> 01:52:25.169 be risk ? It's always gonna be a risk 01:52:25.169 --> 01:52:27.280 that something can flare up . There's 01:52:27.280 --> 01:52:29.224 always gonna look , Look at what's 01:52:29.224 --> 01:52:31.447 happening where countries are trying to 01:52:31.447 --> 01:52:33.447 get open and there's a flare up and 01:52:33.447 --> 01:52:35.558 they'll go . But I'd like to flare up 01:52:35.558 --> 01:52:37.558 to be very localized so that we can 01:52:37.558 --> 01:52:37.460 control it from a local sampling 01:52:37.460 --> 01:52:40.670 without having to love . There's always 01:52:40.670 --> 01:52:42.837 a risk is if this is genius that we're 01:52:42.837 --> 01:52:45.220 fighting and we're fighting this hidden 01:52:45.230 --> 01:52:47.790 enemy , which is genius . Okay , It's 01:52:47.870 --> 01:52:51.490 genius . The way it's attacked so many 01:52:51.490 --> 01:52:53.434 countries . It's so many different 01:52:53.434 --> 01:52:55.546 angles . And I mean , you take a look 01:52:55.546 --> 01:52:58.420 at what's going on and the greatest 01:52:58.420 --> 01:53:00.870 doctors in the world I think they're 01:53:00.870 --> 01:53:02.981 close , by the way , but they haven't 01:53:02.981 --> 01:53:04.981 figured it out yet . Look what it's 01:53:04.981 --> 01:53:06.981 done to some people . I mean , some 01:53:06.981 --> 01:53:10.850 people , it's grabbed and it's a It's a 01:53:10.850 --> 01:53:13.290 horrible , horrible way to go . You 01:53:13.290 --> 01:53:15.068 want to know the truth . It's a 01:53:15.068 --> 01:53:17.068 horrible And then other people that 01:53:17.068 --> 01:53:19.068 hardly has an impact on . We talked 01:53:19.068 --> 01:53:21.012 about it sniffles . It's less they 01:53:21.012 --> 01:53:23.234 don't even know they had anything . And 01:53:23.234 --> 01:53:25.850 some people , uh , I looked at , uh , 01:53:25.860 --> 01:53:27.971 New York this morning , and I look at 01:53:27.971 --> 01:53:29.860 what's happening in the amount of 01:53:29.860 --> 01:53:31.638 people that are dying and dying 01:53:31.638 --> 01:53:33.820 violently dying . It's , Ah , it's a 01:53:33.820 --> 01:53:35.987 very tough adversary , but we're gonna 01:53:35.987 --> 01:53:37.931 win and we're gonna win it . We're 01:53:37.931 --> 01:53:40.042 gonna win it , Uh , very decisively . 01:53:40.042 --> 01:53:43.660 I'm gonna have to make a decision , and 01:53:43.660 --> 01:53:45.827 I only hope to God that it's the right 01:53:45.827 --> 01:53:49.730 decision . But I would say , without 01:53:49.730 --> 01:53:51.786 question , it's the biggest decision 01:53:51.786 --> 01:53:55.680 I've ever had to make . Dr . Dr 01:53:56.040 --> 01:53:59.760 Dr Burke's models I understand that 01:54:00.240 --> 01:54:02.590 are based on social distance and 01:54:02.600 --> 01:54:05.770 continuing through May is that correct ? 01:54:05.830 --> 01:54:09.320 And if you were open the economy on May 01:54:09.330 --> 01:54:11.330 1st or sometime during that month , 01:54:11.490 --> 01:54:14.020 would that impact the models in terms 01:54:14.020 --> 01:54:15.687 of the deaths that you expect 01:54:19.200 --> 01:54:22.860 we're taking turns . Good . Um , 01:54:23.240 --> 01:54:27.030 so the model the I h m e model does 01:54:27.030 --> 01:54:30.380 state that it's through May every month . 01:54:30.510 --> 01:54:32.510 We've had these model discussions , 01:54:32.510 --> 01:54:35.110 haven't we ? For weeks now ? So the 01:54:35.110 --> 01:54:37.221 models are informed by the data , and 01:54:37.221 --> 01:54:39.221 you can see how much that model has 01:54:39.221 --> 01:54:41.166 shifted on the amazing work of the 01:54:41.166 --> 01:54:43.760 American people . So I think that's 01:54:43.760 --> 01:54:45.720 what we're evaluating right now . 01:54:45.760 --> 01:54:48.080 Remember when and when I talked 01:54:48.080 --> 01:54:50.730 yesterday ? Um , I've been in public 01:54:50.730 --> 01:54:52.780 health a long time . I have never , 01:54:52.780 --> 01:54:55.002 except for Ebola , where we worked very 01:54:55.002 --> 01:54:56.947 closely with the communities about 01:54:56.947 --> 01:54:59.990 specific issues . We've never taken a 01:55:00.000 --> 01:55:02.930 countrywide or a global wide approach 01:55:02.930 --> 01:55:05.450 to mitigation . This is unprecedented . 01:55:05.880 --> 01:55:08.102 I will tell you there is nothing in the 01:55:08.102 --> 01:55:11.500 literature about specifically what to 01:55:11.500 --> 01:55:13.500 expect . And I think that's why the 01:55:13.500 --> 01:55:16.690 models continue to modify themselves 01:55:16.690 --> 01:55:18.880 based on what actually has happened 01:55:18.880 --> 01:55:21.260 with social distancing and hand washing 01:55:22.040 --> 01:55:24.262 and all of the pieces that the American 01:55:24.262 --> 01:55:26.373 people are doing the decreasing , the 01:55:26.373 --> 01:55:28.429 closing of the bars , the closing of 01:55:28.429 --> 01:55:30.484 the restaurants , no communal eating 01:55:30.484 --> 01:55:32.707 that was thought to be a very big issue 01:55:32.707 --> 01:55:34.929 in many of the other cultures that went 01:55:34.929 --> 01:55:36.873 through this virus , so the models 01:55:36.873 --> 01:55:39.151 continue to evolve based on the impact . 01:55:39.151 --> 01:55:41.151 And so therefore , it makes it very 01:55:41.151 --> 01:55:43.262 difficult to interpret each component 01:55:43.262 --> 01:55:45.630 of social distancing in which ones are 01:55:45.640 --> 01:55:47.862 absolutely critical . Now there's a way 01:55:47.862 --> 01:55:50.029 to do that in multi variant analysis , 01:55:50.029 --> 01:55:51.973 potentially and I want to . I want 01:55:51.973 --> 01:55:54.196 everyone to understand there are states 01:55:54.196 --> 01:55:56.418 that are tested . There are states that 01:55:56.418 --> 01:55:58.640 are doing contact tracing . So I mean , 01:55:58.640 --> 01:56:00.862 I think sometimes we get and we look at 01:56:00.862 --> 01:56:03.029 what New York is doing in Detroit , we 01:56:03.029 --> 01:56:05.029 forget that there's a Utah on a New 01:56:05.029 --> 01:56:07.200 Mexico and the North and South Dakota 01:56:07.200 --> 01:56:09.367 and a whole series of states that were 01:56:09.367 --> 01:56:12.010 doing testing and contact tracing and 01:56:12.010 --> 01:56:14.177 have been testing it rates higher than 01:56:14.177 --> 01:56:16.660 that per capita rate that we all have 01:56:16.670 --> 01:56:18.837 discussed . So we're looking at that . 01:56:18.837 --> 01:56:20.770 What did they do , where the most 01:56:20.770 --> 01:56:22.881 vulnerabilities , where the outbreaks 01:56:22.881 --> 01:56:24.881 most likely to occur ? That's why I 01:56:24.881 --> 01:56:26.992 have been talking about nursing homes 01:56:26.992 --> 01:56:29.180 because we do believe that there's a 01:56:29.180 --> 01:56:31.440 relationship between age and 01:56:31.440 --> 01:56:33.570 seriousness of disease . Not to say 01:56:33.570 --> 01:56:35.681 that there can't be young people with 01:56:35.681 --> 01:56:37.848 serious disease , but proportionally . 01:56:38.100 --> 01:56:39.989 It's a smaller piece with serious 01:56:39.989 --> 01:56:42.440 disease , and so when you have that 01:56:42.440 --> 01:56:45.080 kind of spectrum where the older and 01:56:45.080 --> 01:56:47.191 the more complicated , the higher the 01:56:47.191 --> 01:56:49.358 severity get the impression that there 01:56:49.358 --> 01:56:52.230 may be more asymptomatic in younger age 01:56:52.230 --> 01:56:54.397 groups , and that's where the antibody 01:56:54.397 --> 01:56:56.452 test comes in . So you put all these 01:56:56.452 --> 01:56:58.397 pieces together . You're trying to 01:56:58.397 --> 01:57:00.630 understand where is where would be the 01:57:00.630 --> 01:57:03.210 first signals . So we have surveillance 01:57:03.210 --> 01:57:05.980 out there right now with the CD sees 01:57:05.980 --> 01:57:08.147 influenza like illness . I hope you're 01:57:08.147 --> 01:57:10.270 all tracking that it is showing these 01:57:10.270 --> 01:57:12.437 small changes . I think we can believe 01:57:12.437 --> 01:57:14.492 in that . Is there surveillance tool 01:57:14.492 --> 01:57:16.603 married with their syndrome , a piece 01:57:16.603 --> 01:57:18.659 giving us the insight about where to 01:57:18.659 --> 01:57:20.881 test and then where to proactively test 01:57:21.030 --> 01:57:23.510 and nursing homes and other vulnerable 01:57:23.510 --> 01:57:25.454 groups ? Because that has been the 01:57:25.454 --> 01:57:27.566 signal in a series of the states that 01:57:27.566 --> 01:57:30.250 have very , very low prevalence and 01:57:30.250 --> 01:57:32.306 incidents of disease . So that's the 01:57:32.306 --> 01:57:34.139 kind of factors were putting all 01:57:34.139 --> 01:57:37.130 together to really define the best way 01:57:37.130 --> 01:57:40.020 forward , and we have superb road maps . 01:57:40.020 --> 01:57:42.242 I hope you all have seen them . There's 01:57:42.242 --> 01:57:44.409 been about six different road maps toe 01:57:44.409 --> 01:57:47.020 opening people have put online , and 01:57:47.020 --> 01:57:50.400 again there's no literature that you 01:57:50.400 --> 01:57:52.622 can sight and said , Well , we did this 01:57:52.622 --> 01:57:54.733 20 years ago , and what really worked 01:57:54.733 --> 01:57:56.567 their's there isn't that there's 01:57:56.567 --> 01:57:58.678 brilliant public health people giving 01:57:58.678 --> 01:58:00.880 us their insights for the question is 01:58:01.620 --> 01:58:03.787 because those are the models have been 01:58:03.787 --> 01:58:05.953 using . If you do go with opening up , 01:58:05.953 --> 01:58:08.176 starting to open up the economy again , 01:58:08.176 --> 01:58:10.176 I made first . Doesn't that lead to 01:58:10.176 --> 01:58:12.398 more deaths ? We'll look at how much it 01:58:12.398 --> 01:58:14.620 changed with mitigation . And now we're 01:58:14.620 --> 01:58:16.731 looking at those state by state , and 01:58:16.731 --> 01:58:18.842 there's some states in there that are 01:58:18.842 --> 01:58:20.842 still in contact tracing . So we're 01:58:20.842 --> 01:58:22.953 looking at the impact of that model , 01:58:22.953 --> 01:58:25.009 what that model predicted , based on 01:58:25.009 --> 01:58:26.953 the type of contact tracing , less 01:58:26.953 --> 01:58:28.953 mitigation , more contact raising , 01:58:29.460 --> 01:58:31.710 getting what I'm talking about . So 01:58:31.710 --> 01:58:34.240 there are states that didn't 01:58:35.220 --> 01:58:37.620 stay at home orders , but we're doing 01:58:37.620 --> 01:58:40.220 contractor contact tracing . I'm from 01:58:40.230 --> 01:58:42.850 Outbreak . So we're looking at them and 01:58:42.850 --> 01:58:45.017 how they have done . And we're looking 01:58:45.017 --> 01:58:47.239 at certainly what's happened in the big 01:58:47.239 --> 01:58:49.461 metro areas , and we're integrating all 01:58:49.461 --> 01:58:51.940 of that data together to make a plan 01:58:51.940 --> 01:58:54.830 going forward . So I can't tell you , 01:58:54.840 --> 01:58:57.007 because look at how much the model has 01:58:57.007 --> 01:58:59.180 changed in just a week . Remember just 01:58:59.180 --> 01:59:02.060 a week ago it was 80,000 . Now , at 01:59:02.060 --> 01:59:05.860 60,000 . So and the curves , I'm 01:59:05.860 --> 01:59:08.027 sure you're all watching at the curves 01:59:08.027 --> 01:59:09.971 of getting much broader confidence 01:59:09.971 --> 01:59:12.082 intervals . There is still the dotted 01:59:12.082 --> 01:59:14.082 line , but the confidence intervals 01:59:14.082 --> 01:59:16.027 around the dotted line are getting 01:59:16.027 --> 01:59:18.340 bigger when you see that , you know , 01:59:18.340 --> 01:59:20.396 the model has a bit of instability . 01:59:20.660 --> 01:59:23.110 And so that's why Tony and I based a 01:59:23.110 --> 01:59:25.300 lot of our decision and discussion on 01:59:25.310 --> 01:59:28.100 cases and what physically is happening 01:59:28.100 --> 01:59:31.170 in that county in that state at the 01:59:31.170 --> 01:59:33.440 same time , not ignoring the models . 01:59:33.450 --> 01:59:35.561 But integrating the models is one put 01:59:35.561 --> 01:59:37.672 piece of our thought process . Do you 01:59:37.672 --> 01:59:39.672 wanna come up here and say what you 01:59:39.672 --> 01:59:41.839 think about Miles ? Dr Watson ? I just 01:59:41.839 --> 01:59:41.820 I just want to say that , you know , 01:59:41.820 --> 01:59:44.050 you talked about , I couldn't lead to 01:59:44.050 --> 01:59:46.350 death , meaning you open up , could 01:59:46.350 --> 01:59:48.517 lead to death . And you're right . But 01:59:48.517 --> 01:59:50.628 you know what ? Staying at home leads 01:59:50.628 --> 01:59:54.030 to death also , and it's very 01:59:54.030 --> 01:59:57.760 dramatic for this country . But 01:59:57.780 --> 02:00:00.640 staying at home if you look at numbers , 02:00:00.650 --> 02:00:02.983 that leads to a different kind of death , 02:00:02.983 --> 02:00:05.150 perhaps , but it leads to death also , 02:00:05.300 --> 02:00:07.633 so it's a very big decision . As I said , 02:00:07.633 --> 02:00:09.633 it's the biggest decision I'll ever 02:00:09.633 --> 02:00:11.744 make it . We'll do . A couple of more 02:00:11.744 --> 02:00:13.800 will go . Thank you . Thank you , Mr 02:00:13.800 --> 02:00:15.856 President . Um , before you came out 02:00:15.856 --> 02:00:15.800 here , you said we're the last people 02:00:15.800 --> 02:00:18.660 that you talked to Governor Calm . And 02:00:18.670 --> 02:00:21.060 at his news conference today , he said 02:00:21.070 --> 02:00:23.560 that he was asking you to use the 02:00:23.560 --> 02:00:26.300 Defense Production Act to require 02:00:26.310 --> 02:00:28.440 companies to make more tests to 02:00:28.440 --> 02:00:30.930 streamline testing . Is that something 02:00:30.940 --> 02:00:33.107 that you would consider because you've 02:00:33.107 --> 02:00:35.218 considered it with ventilators and on 02:00:35.218 --> 02:00:37.551 the other side seems to keep using that . 02:00:37.551 --> 02:00:37.460 And I have used it , you know ? I've 02:00:37.460 --> 02:00:39.460 enacted it . You do know . And I've 02:00:39.460 --> 02:00:42.060 used it . Some people thought viciously 02:00:42.550 --> 02:00:44.661 Just ask a couple of companies if you 02:00:44.661 --> 02:00:46.883 want . You can just look up the names . 02:00:46.883 --> 02:00:48.939 And I'm surprised that he would have 02:00:48.939 --> 02:00:51.580 said that we actually have great tests . 02:00:51.840 --> 02:00:54.170 We have others under development . You 02:00:54.170 --> 02:00:56.080 don't need full testing . As the 02:00:56.080 --> 02:00:58.370 doctors have been talking about that 02:00:58.370 --> 02:01:01.750 nosy , um , eso I would be surprised 02:01:01.750 --> 02:01:03.917 that he would have said that . Meaning 02:01:03.917 --> 02:01:05.972 at that way , if he did , I'd have a 02:01:05.972 --> 02:01:08.740 much different type . Answer . Good way . 02:01:08.740 --> 02:01:10.907 Talked about testing you . We did talk 02:01:10.907 --> 02:01:13.018 about testing and one of the things I 02:01:13.018 --> 02:01:14.962 did was . I put the two doctors in 02:01:14.962 --> 02:01:17.184 charge of that call . I said , You know 02:01:17.184 --> 02:01:18.980 what , Andrew ? I have two very 02:01:18.980 --> 02:01:21.091 talented people standing here . We're 02:01:21.091 --> 02:01:23.091 getting ready to go on . Let me put 02:01:23.091 --> 02:01:25.313 them and let me have them talk to you . 02:01:25.313 --> 02:01:27.536 And they talk to him really at length . 02:01:27.536 --> 02:01:29.647 And I think by the time they finished 02:01:29.647 --> 02:01:31.647 he understood what he was , what we 02:01:31.647 --> 02:01:33.647 were saying , he understood it very 02:01:33.647 --> 02:01:36.860 clearly . Please , you've talked a lot 02:01:37.010 --> 02:01:38.899 this week about holding the World 02:01:38.899 --> 02:01:41.121 Health Organization responsible for its 02:01:41.121 --> 02:01:43.870 response to the Corona virus . I'm 02:01:43.880 --> 02:01:45.770 curious if you've given any more 02:01:45.770 --> 02:01:48.280 thought to holding China financially 02:01:48.280 --> 02:01:51.710 responsible for the part that it played 02:01:51.720 --> 02:01:54.140 and the economic told that it's , uh , 02:01:54.150 --> 02:01:56.317 taking on the American people . Yeah , 02:01:56.317 --> 02:01:58.428 I understand the question very well . 02:01:58.428 --> 02:02:02.060 Nobody has done to China . What 02:02:02.060 --> 02:02:05.300 treated China as strongly as I have is 02:02:05.300 --> 02:02:07.780 the word strongly as you know , you've 02:02:07.780 --> 02:02:10.800 reported on it . Billions and billions 02:02:10.800 --> 02:02:13.022 of dollars is flowing into our treasury 02:02:13.022 --> 02:02:15.189 because of what I've done with China . 02:02:16.200 --> 02:02:18.144 I think it's a very sad thing that 02:02:18.144 --> 02:02:20.256 happened , and I think if people knew 02:02:20.256 --> 02:02:23.010 including the World Health Organization 02:02:23.550 --> 02:02:25.661 and I do believe they knew . But they 02:02:25.661 --> 02:02:27.740 didn't want to tell the world . And 02:02:27.740 --> 02:02:29.851 we're gonna get to the bottom of it , 02:02:30.070 --> 02:02:32.292 and we'll have reports on all of this . 02:02:32.292 --> 02:02:34.403 And we are We're not happy about it . 02:02:34.403 --> 02:02:36.570 But I wanted to leave the world health 02:02:36.570 --> 02:02:39.180 or later . And I can tell you that 02:02:39.280 --> 02:02:41.447 we're constantly in touch with China . 02:02:41.447 --> 02:02:44.010 We're talking to China , and , uh , 02:02:45.000 --> 02:02:47.380 we've expressed how we felt were not 02:02:47.380 --> 02:02:49.547 happy about it . We're not happy about 02:02:49.547 --> 02:02:51.713 it all , Christian . Okay , One or two 02:02:51.713 --> 02:02:54.310 more . Yeah . This president , we hear 02:02:54.310 --> 02:02:56.254 from a lot of people who see these 02:02:56.254 --> 02:02:59.010 briefings a sort of happy talk ratings . 02:02:59.980 --> 02:03:02.202 Well , happy talk today and some of the 02:03:02.202 --> 02:03:05.620 officials paint a rosy picture of what 02:03:05.630 --> 02:03:08.190 is happening around the country . If 02:03:08.190 --> 02:03:10.301 you look at some of these questions , 02:03:10.301 --> 02:03:12.412 do we have enough mass ? No . We have 02:03:12.412 --> 02:03:14.357 enough tests . No , we have enough 02:03:14.357 --> 02:03:16.940 peopie know why would you say way ? Yes , 02:03:17.240 --> 02:03:19.240 I think the answer is yes . Who Who 02:03:19.240 --> 02:03:21.129 said no to that ? I'm saying this 02:03:21.129 --> 02:03:23.296 you're saying but who's here with us ? 02:03:23.296 --> 02:03:25.462 What ? Do we have enough masks ? Yes , 02:03:25.710 --> 02:03:27.821 You don't say that . You said that we 02:03:27.821 --> 02:03:29.877 have enough masks . Yes . Do we have 02:03:29.877 --> 02:03:31.654 enough tests ? Yes . Plus we're 02:03:31.654 --> 02:03:33.820 developing new to Do we have enough ? 02:03:34.190 --> 02:03:36.320 Do we have enough ventilators ? Yes . 02:03:36.530 --> 02:03:38.752 Do we have enough hospital beds ? Yes . 02:03:38.752 --> 02:03:40.940 We've built 20,000 hospital beds . We 02:03:40.940 --> 02:03:43.107 have enough hospital beds . Go ahead , 02:03:43.107 --> 02:03:45.440 Jim . Let's go . What do you say to you ? 02:03:45.440 --> 02:03:47.551 You watch the coverage . You know , a 02:03:47.551 --> 02:03:49.662 lot of a lot of it . States doctors . 02:03:49.662 --> 02:03:51.607 Not a lot of It's not a lot of its 02:03:51.607 --> 02:03:53.551 statements . Just when the doctors 02:03:53.551 --> 02:03:55.273 thinking the governor wire the 02:03:55.273 --> 02:03:57.450 governor's report , we don't have a 02:03:57.460 --> 02:03:59.460 capacity at depending on your air . 02:03:59.460 --> 02:04:01.516 They always say that cause otherwise 02:04:01.516 --> 02:04:03.571 you're not gonna put him on . Let me 02:04:03.571 --> 02:04:03.390 just take him . The governors have said 02:04:03.940 --> 02:04:05.840 last night they had a group of 02:04:05.840 --> 02:04:07.896 governors , 14 governors . They were 02:04:07.896 --> 02:04:11.090 together someplace , and they said It's 02:04:11.090 --> 02:04:13.240 been unbelievable . What's happened ? 02:04:13.240 --> 02:04:14.907 We've been totally responsive 02:04:15.230 --> 02:04:16.990 ventilators . Everyone has the 02:04:16.990 --> 02:04:18.934 ventilators . They need to a point 02:04:18.934 --> 02:04:21.101 where we're getting calls from foreign 02:04:21.101 --> 02:04:21.020 countries saying you have all the 02:04:21.020 --> 02:04:23.187 ventilators . Can we get something and 02:04:23.187 --> 02:04:25.353 we're gonna try and help some of these 02:04:25.353 --> 02:04:28.030 countries . These people have done an 02:04:28.030 --> 02:04:30.690 incredible job . This is not happy talk . 02:04:30.810 --> 02:04:32.866 Maybe it's happy talk for you . It's 02:04:32.866 --> 02:04:34.977 not happy talk for me . We're talking 02:04:34.977 --> 02:04:37.088 about death . We're talking about the 02:04:37.088 --> 02:04:39.310 greatest economy in the world . One day 02:04:39.310 --> 02:04:41.421 I have to close it off and we did the 02:04:41.421 --> 02:04:41.250 right thing because maybe it would have 02:04:41.250 --> 02:04:43.417 been . Two million people died instead 02:04:43.417 --> 02:04:45.639 of whatever that final number will be , 02:04:45.780 --> 02:04:48.002 which could be 60 . Could be 70 . Could 02:04:48.002 --> 02:04:50.710 be 75 . Could be 55 thousands of people 02:04:50.710 --> 02:04:52.821 of that . There's nothing happy about 02:04:52.821 --> 02:04:54.932 it . Jim , this is sad talk . This is 02:04:54.932 --> 02:04:57.043 the saddest , these air , the saddest 02:04:57.590 --> 02:04:59.812 thes air , the saddest news conferences 02:04:59.812 --> 02:05:02.540 that I've ever had . I don't like doing 02:05:02.550 --> 02:05:04.439 them . You know why ? Because I'm 02:05:04.439 --> 02:05:06.661 talking about death . I'm talking about 02:05:06.661 --> 02:05:08.494 taking the greatest economy ever 02:05:08.494 --> 02:05:10.717 created with the greatest numbers we've 02:05:10.717 --> 02:05:12.880 ever had in almost every aspect of 02:05:13.420 --> 02:05:17.090 economics , from employment to cos Look 02:05:17.090 --> 02:05:19.257 at the airlines . They were having the 02:05:19.257 --> 02:05:21.423 best year . Now , all of a sudden , we 02:05:21.423 --> 02:05:23.534 have to save them . Okay , there's no 02:05:23.534 --> 02:05:25.590 happy talk to him . This is the real 02:05:25.590 --> 02:05:27.812 deal . And I've got to make the biggest 02:05:27.812 --> 02:05:29.812 decision of my life . And I've only 02:05:29.812 --> 02:05:31.979 started thinking about that . I mean , 02:05:31.979 --> 02:05:33.868 you know , I've made a lot of big 02:05:33.868 --> 02:05:33.640 decisions of my life . You understand 02:05:33.640 --> 02:05:35.660 that this is by far the biggest 02:05:35.660 --> 02:05:37.771 decision of my life because I have to 02:05:37.771 --> 02:05:40.460 say , Okay , let's go . This is what 02:05:40.460 --> 02:05:42.682 we've learned is when you have hospital 02:05:42.682 --> 02:05:44.627 better figures . But you have many 02:05:44.627 --> 02:05:46.738 doctors that say Unbelievable job . I 02:05:46.738 --> 02:05:49.390 watched this morning and I watched a 02:05:49.390 --> 02:05:53.230 certain network and it wasn't Fox . 02:05:53.510 --> 02:05:55.621 And you're a doctor saying that we've 02:05:55.621 --> 02:05:57.788 done an incredible job . You just read 02:05:57.788 --> 02:05:59.843 off these ? No , no , no . Well , we 02:05:59.843 --> 02:06:02.010 have ventilators . We have equipment , 02:06:02.010 --> 02:06:04.570 we have beds . How about beds ? I mean , 02:06:04.930 --> 02:06:06.986 Governor Cuomo just told me a little 02:06:06.986 --> 02:06:09.152 while ago he's got plenty of beds , in 02:06:09.152 --> 02:06:11.041 fact , having a hard time filling 02:06:11.041 --> 02:06:14.230 Javits Center . We built him 2900 bets . 02:06:14.980 --> 02:06:17.400 So that's not a fair question , Skip . 02:06:17.800 --> 02:06:20.510 Just talking about revisiting P p E . 02:06:20.510 --> 02:06:23.590 Obviously , no . Excuse me . We have 02:06:24.310 --> 02:06:26.780 masks , we have everything and we were 02:06:26.780 --> 02:06:29.002 trying to get ready for the surge , and 02:06:29.002 --> 02:06:30.947 a lot of people said it will never 02:06:30.947 --> 02:06:33.058 happen . Debra said it . You'll never 02:06:33.058 --> 02:06:35.180 need that many beds . They said we 02:06:35.180 --> 02:06:37.650 needed 40,000 ventilators . 40 02:06:37.650 --> 02:06:40.660 thousands like building a car , 40,000 02:06:40.660 --> 02:06:43.460 ventilators . People said I felt it , 02:06:43.470 --> 02:06:45.470 too . You'll never need that many . 02:06:45.470 --> 02:06:47.820 Guess what ? We have Tremendous we have 02:06:48.070 --> 02:06:50.237 with the envy of the world in terms of 02:06:50.237 --> 02:06:52.650 ventilators . Germany would like some . 02:06:53.090 --> 02:06:55.146 France would like some . We're gonna 02:06:55.146 --> 02:06:57.350 help countries out . Spain needs him 02:06:57.350 --> 02:06:59.017 desperately . Italy needs him 02:06:59.017 --> 02:07:01.670 desperately . Mexico needs him 02:07:01.670 --> 02:07:03.726 desperately . He asked me last night 02:07:03.726 --> 02:07:05.670 Would it be possible to get 10,000 02:07:05.670 --> 02:07:07.726 ventilators within a short period of 02:07:07.726 --> 02:07:10.003 time ? I'll be able to help out Mexico . 02:07:10.003 --> 02:07:12.059 No , Jim . Just the opposite of your 02:07:12.059 --> 02:07:14.281 question . It's not No , no , no , it's 02:07:14.281 --> 02:07:16.559 Yes , yes , yes , we're in great shape . 02:07:16.559 --> 02:07:18.614 And you know what ? What's happening 02:07:18.614 --> 02:07:21.950 now is those numbers horrible . But 02:07:21.960 --> 02:07:24.127 take a look at the number of beds . We 02:07:24.127 --> 02:07:26.349 have beds available all over New York , 02:07:26.349 --> 02:07:28.460 New York , really being the epicenter 02:07:28.460 --> 02:07:30.627 in New York , New York has experienced 02:07:30.627 --> 02:07:32.940 something that has been absolutely 02:07:32.940 --> 02:07:35.130 horrific . I saw Hart's Island 02:07:35.130 --> 02:07:37.250 yesterday . I saw those people being 02:07:37.250 --> 02:07:40.350 buried yesterday . Fortunately , we 02:07:40.350 --> 02:07:42.330 have the beds and you can speak to 02:07:42.330 --> 02:07:44.274 Mayor de Blasio . You can speak to 02:07:44.274 --> 02:07:47.320 Governor Cuomo . People are people 02:07:47.320 --> 02:07:49.542 can't even believe the job we've done . 02:07:49.780 --> 02:07:52.002 They can't even believe it . And I give 02:07:52.002 --> 02:07:54.220 tremendous credit to the militant has 02:07:54.220 --> 02:07:56.670 been a military operation with private 02:07:56.680 --> 02:07:58.680 people . But wait a minute . Wait , 02:07:58.680 --> 02:08:01.320 wait I give tremendous credit to our 02:08:01.320 --> 02:08:03.098 military . To the Army Corps of 02:08:03.098 --> 02:08:05.340 Engineers , to FEMA to thes people . 02:08:05.660 --> 02:08:08.280 The job they've done is incredible . 02:08:08.970 --> 02:08:11.380 And you shouldn't be asking for that 02:08:11.380 --> 02:08:13.491 kind of a question , Jim . Honestly , 02:08:13.491 --> 02:08:15.658 country . Good . Okay . I really don't 02:08:15.658 --> 02:08:17.824 believe that . You shouldn't be asking 02:08:17.824 --> 02:08:19.880 that kind of a question . You should 02:08:19.880 --> 02:08:22.047 say , You know what ? It's been really 02:08:22.047 --> 02:08:24.324 incredible . What's been happening out , 02:08:24.324 --> 02:08:26.547 Jim ? Nobody's asking what , Governor , 02:08:26.547 --> 02:08:28.769 Let me ask you this . What , Governor , 02:08:29.060 --> 02:08:31.227 we have more tests than anybody in the 02:08:31.227 --> 02:08:33.580 world . We have every way have 02:08:33.580 --> 02:08:35.990 virtually every country in the world 02:08:36.260 --> 02:08:39.010 calling us asking us , How do we get 02:08:39.020 --> 02:08:40.853 these tests that you have ? Your 02:08:40.853 --> 02:08:43.020 testing is the best in the world . How 02:08:43.020 --> 02:08:45.242 do we get it ? They've done a fantastic 02:08:45.242 --> 02:08:47.409 job . And when you ask a question like 02:08:47.409 --> 02:08:49.576 that , it's very insulting to a lot of 02:08:49.576 --> 02:08:51.742 great people . Okay , One more place . 02:08:51.900 --> 02:08:53.789 President , You may have seen how 02:08:53.789 --> 02:08:55.956 Sweden has responded to the pandemic . 02:08:55.956 --> 02:08:57.800 The schools are open , bars and 02:08:57.810 --> 02:08:59.588 restaurants are open . Suite is 02:08:59.588 --> 02:09:01.643 different . Do you do you regret not 02:09:01.643 --> 02:09:03.421 following that approach is that 02:09:03.421 --> 02:09:05.254 approach work didn't follow that 02:09:05.254 --> 02:09:07.310 approach . And if we did follow that 02:09:07.310 --> 02:09:09.254 approach I think we might have two 02:09:09.254 --> 02:09:11.254 million people dead . And Sweden is 02:09:11.254 --> 02:09:13.477 having a lot of difficulty , you know ? 02:09:13.477 --> 02:09:15.143 Look , I'm very friendly with 02:09:15.143 --> 02:09:17.199 leadership . In Sweden , they took a 02:09:17.199 --> 02:09:19.088 different approach . They're very 02:09:19.088 --> 02:09:21.310 disciplined country to start off with , 02:09:21.310 --> 02:09:23.950 but they did take a different and , you 02:09:23.950 --> 02:09:26.100 know , other places . Tried it . UK 02:09:26.100 --> 02:09:29.360 tried it . The herd approach okay , 02:09:29.370 --> 02:09:32.980 Heard . And they tried it . And you saw 02:09:32.980 --> 02:09:35.530 what happened in UK . It set him back a 02:09:35.530 --> 02:09:37.780 lot . A lot of time . It's been , you 02:09:37.780 --> 02:09:39.836 know , they're having a tough time . 02:09:39.836 --> 02:09:41.836 Other countries have tried it . And 02:09:41.836 --> 02:09:44.058 Sweden is suffering greatly in Sweden , 02:09:44.058 --> 02:09:47.010 suffering greatly . If we did the herd , 02:09:47.010 --> 02:09:49.177 if we went with the herd , as they say 02:09:49.350 --> 02:09:51.730 we would have had potentially I mean , 02:09:51.730 --> 02:09:54.390 you see that the charts ? Nobody knows 02:09:54.390 --> 02:09:56.501 nobody will ever know , fortunately , 02:09:56.570 --> 02:09:58.740 because we're gonna be substantially 02:09:58.740 --> 02:10:00.740 less than the minimum . I certainly 02:10:00.740 --> 02:10:02.796 hope unless something happens , that 02:10:02.796 --> 02:10:05.018 would be tragic . So they had a minimum 02:10:05.018 --> 02:10:08.010 number if we did . If one of the 02:10:08.010 --> 02:10:10.288 reasons we're so far below that number , 02:10:10.288 --> 02:10:12.288 because nobody thought the American 02:10:12.288 --> 02:10:14.510 people could be so disciplined , nobody 02:10:14.510 --> 02:10:16.860 thought it was possible . And I guess 02:10:16.860 --> 02:10:18.971 when they watched us appear every day 02:10:18.971 --> 02:10:21.138 and they watched other people and they 02:10:21.138 --> 02:10:23.138 listen to their representatives and 02:10:23.138 --> 02:10:25.138 governors . Nobody thought that the 02:10:25.138 --> 02:10:27.471 American people could be so disciplined . 02:10:27.471 --> 02:10:29.693 They've been unbelievable . And because 02:10:29.693 --> 02:10:31.860 of that , So you have a minimum number 02:10:31.860 --> 02:10:33.971 of 100,000 . And then you had the 2.2 02:10:33.971 --> 02:10:36.082 number that if we did nothing , if we 02:10:36.082 --> 02:10:38.249 did , just kept working , everybody go 02:10:38.249 --> 02:10:40.416 to where people would be dropping dead 02:10:40.416 --> 02:10:43.210 on the subways . No , if we would have 02:10:43.210 --> 02:10:47.030 lost a 1,000,000 people , take the 2.2 02:10:47.030 --> 02:10:49.630 million and cut it in half . Make it 02:10:50.380 --> 02:10:52.269 cut it in more than half making a 02:10:52.269 --> 02:10:54.880 1,000,000 people . Okay , Now take that 02:10:54.890 --> 02:10:58.070 number and cut it and make it 500,000 02:10:58.070 --> 02:11:00.070 people . That's if we did nothing , 02:11:00.070 --> 02:11:02.370 right ? It's unacceptable . What's too 02:11:02.370 --> 02:11:04.870 many people ? So we have we spent more 02:11:04.870 --> 02:11:08.240 money on stimulus . Who cares by 02:11:08.240 --> 02:11:11.090 comparison ? You take two point to you 02:11:11.090 --> 02:11:13.257 cut and 1/2 . You cut it in half , you 02:11:13.257 --> 02:11:15.368 cut it . And if you keep cutting it , 02:11:15.368 --> 02:11:15.320 and if I don't care what number you 02:11:15.320 --> 02:11:18.910 choose , 500,000 . 400,000 . 02:11:19.320 --> 02:11:21.450 Well , we're gonna have We're talking 02:11:21.460 --> 02:11:24.520 50 60 65 . Maybe . Maybe , 02:11:25.640 --> 02:11:28.270 but if we would have done what one 02:11:28.270 --> 02:11:30.326 country tried . And it has been very 02:11:30.326 --> 02:11:32.548 tough for them . You know that ? Very , 02:11:32.548 --> 02:11:34.548 very nasty . Very tough . But if we 02:11:34.548 --> 02:11:36.659 would have done that here and again , 02:11:36.659 --> 02:11:38.714 you gotta remember UK tried it and I 02:11:38.714 --> 02:11:40.937 was a little surprised and I watch it . 02:11:40.940 --> 02:11:42.884 They were going about , what , two 02:11:42.884 --> 02:11:45.030 weeks ? And they said we got to stop 02:11:45.150 --> 02:11:47.317 because it was that we're gonna have a 02:11:47.317 --> 02:11:51.150 whole country infected . So with 02:11:51.150 --> 02:11:53.317 all of that being said , we got to get 02:11:53.317 --> 02:11:55.483 back to work . We've got to get We got 02:11:55.483 --> 02:11:57.650 to get our country open . But we could 02:11:57.650 --> 02:11:59.872 have lost two million people . We could 02:11:59.872 --> 02:11:59.680 have lost one million people . We could 02:11:59.680 --> 02:12:01.680 almost 1/2 a 1,000,000 people if we 02:12:01.680 --> 02:12:04.560 would have lost 500,000 people . I'll 02:12:04.560 --> 02:12:07.160 say this also , from the standpoint of 02:12:07.160 --> 02:12:09.327 being president and Vice president and 02:12:09.327 --> 02:12:11.327 we're up there and we're doing that 02:12:11.327 --> 02:12:13.438 hurt and we're gonna bullet through . 02:12:13.438 --> 02:12:15.549 Do you honestly think people like Jim 02:12:15.549 --> 02:12:17.549 and yourself and other people would 02:12:17.549 --> 02:12:19.660 have Jeff would have put up with it ? 02:12:19.660 --> 02:12:21.660 As people are dying all over , they 02:12:21.660 --> 02:12:24.090 would have said this man is crazy 02:12:25.410 --> 02:12:27.632 because the numbers Tony , at a minimum 02:12:27.632 --> 02:12:29.521 would have been many , many times 02:12:29.521 --> 02:12:31.688 greater than the numbers we're talking 02:12:31.688 --> 02:12:34.160 about . So I'm very honored by our 02:12:34.160 --> 02:12:36.480 decisions . All of us . We talk about 02:12:36.480 --> 02:12:38.910 it all the time . I said , you wanna 02:12:38.910 --> 02:12:41.077 let him ? Just You just write it . You 02:12:41.077 --> 02:12:43.188 just ride it right through . We would 02:12:43.188 --> 02:12:45.077 have lost potentially millions of 02:12:45.077 --> 02:12:47.380 people . No , it would have been 02:12:47.390 --> 02:12:49.334 unsustainable . It would have been 02:12:49.334 --> 02:12:52.080 impossible to do . And , uh , the 02:12:52.080 --> 02:12:53.691 American people have been so 02:12:53.691 --> 02:12:56.690 disciplined . It's been my honor to be 02:12:56.690 --> 02:12:58.912 their president . I've said it before . 02:12:58.912 --> 02:13:01.079 I'll say it again . I'll say it always 02:13:01.079 --> 02:13:03.134 is . But it's been my great honor to 02:13:03.134 --> 02:13:05.301 have been their president . And , uh , 02:13:05.301 --> 02:13:08.790 I have a big decision coming up , and I 02:13:08.790 --> 02:13:10.846 only hope to God that it's the right 02:13:10.846 --> 02:13:13.370 decision , but it will be based on , um , 02:13:14.000 --> 02:13:16.111 the input from a lot of very talent . 02:13:16.111 --> 02:13:18.650 Talented people , very smart people and 02:13:18.650 --> 02:13:20.706 people that love our country . Thank 02:13:20.706 --> 02:13:21.600 you all very much . Thank you .
