WEBVTT 00:01.340 --> 00:03.750 so I want to start by acknowledging the 00:03.760 --> 00:07.560 horrific tragedy in Minnesota of George 00:07.560 --> 00:09.560 Floyd . The death . George Floyd is 00:09.560 --> 00:12.110 absolutely tragic . That video that we 00:12.110 --> 00:14.221 saw that I saw that my staff saw that 00:14.221 --> 00:16.443 the president saw and the president put 00:16.443 --> 00:18.610 out a statement last night that at his 00:18.610 --> 00:20.832 request , the FBI and the Department of 00:20.832 --> 00:22.666 Justice are already well into an 00:22.666 --> 00:24.832 investigation . As to the very sad and 00:24.832 --> 00:26.832 tragic death in Minnesota of George 00:26.832 --> 00:28.570 Floyd . I have asked for this 00:28.570 --> 00:30.520 investigation to be expedited and 00:30.520 --> 00:32.742 greatly appreciate all of the work done 00:32.742 --> 00:34.909 by law enforcement . My heart goes out 00:34.909 --> 00:36.870 to George's family and friends . 00:36.980 --> 00:39.630 Justice will be served , I can tell you 00:39.630 --> 00:41.963 that as I'm briefing you at this moment , 00:41.963 --> 00:44.074 the president is receiving a briefing 00:44.074 --> 00:46.186 from the Attorney General Bill Bar on 00:46.186 --> 00:48.408 this and the deputy director of the FBI 00:48.580 --> 00:50.730 s . That is ongoing as I began this 00:50.730 --> 00:52.680 briefing . Secondly , I want a 00:52.680 --> 00:55.450 transition and to some news from S P A 00:55.450 --> 00:57.617 and Treasury , that was announced that 00:57.617 --> 00:59.450 today the U . S . Small Business 00:59.450 --> 01:01.561 Administration , in consultation with 01:01.561 --> 01:03.450 the U . S . Treasury Department , 01:03.450 --> 01:05.561 announced that it is setting aside 10 01:05.561 --> 01:07.617 billion of round two funding for the 01:07.617 --> 01:09.783 paycheck protection program to be lent 01:09.783 --> 01:11.783 exclusively to CDF eyes . Those are 01:11.783 --> 01:13.561 community development financial 01:13.561 --> 01:15.450 institutions . CDF eyes worked to 01:15.450 --> 01:17.450 expand economic opportunity and low 01:17.450 --> 01:19.617 income communities by providing access 01:19.617 --> 01:21.783 to financial products and services for 01:21.783 --> 01:23.783 local residents and businesses . So 01:23.783 --> 01:26.020 we're encouraged to see that . And then 01:26.020 --> 01:28.298 finally , before taking your questions , 01:28.298 --> 01:30.298 I wanted Teoh address what has been 01:30.298 --> 01:32.298 going on on Twitter and with social 01:32.298 --> 01:35.320 media . I believe it is time to quote , 01:35.330 --> 01:37.820 get the fax about Twitter and other 01:37.820 --> 01:40.590 social media platforms targeting their 01:40.590 --> 01:42.423 bias against President Trump and 01:42.423 --> 01:44.790 conservatives online . If we were to 01:44.790 --> 01:46.901 judge the bias of Twitter and its top 01:46.901 --> 01:49.220 employees by their own words , the case 01:49.220 --> 01:50.942 would be an easy one to make . 01:51.040 --> 01:53.430 Twitter's head of sight integrity has 01:53.430 --> 01:55.740 tweeted that there are quote actual 01:55.740 --> 01:58.780 Nazis in the White House , and no fact 01:58.780 --> 02:01.240 check label was ever applied to this 02:01.320 --> 02:03.850 absolutely outrageous offensive and 02:03.850 --> 02:05.870 false claim made against the White 02:05.870 --> 02:08.330 House and its employees . But let's 02:08.330 --> 02:10.497 judge Twitter based on their actions , 02:10.497 --> 02:12.386 not based on the words of its top 02:12.386 --> 02:14.330 employees , and its actions are no 02:14.330 --> 02:16.430 better . President Trump recently 02:16.430 --> 02:18.780 received a so called fact check label 02:18.780 --> 02:21.590 for a tweet . It was a false fact 02:21.590 --> 02:23.701 checking an accurate fact check , but 02:23.701 --> 02:25.868 nevertheless Twitter move forward with 02:25.868 --> 02:28.034 it . Dan Scavino , the deputy chief of 02:28.034 --> 02:30.201 staff here , was the first user in the 02:30.201 --> 02:32.260 history of Twitter to receive a so 02:32.260 --> 02:34.930 called quote manipulated media label 02:34.940 --> 02:36.829 for posting a video that played a 02:36.829 --> 02:39.500 verbatim clip . It is no coincidence 02:39.500 --> 02:41.210 that these two unbelievable 02:41.210 --> 02:43.377 interventions by Twitter were targeted 02:43.377 --> 02:45.377 against the president of the United 02:45.377 --> 02:47.560 States and one of the president's top 02:47.570 --> 02:51.220 advisers . This is bias in action . And 02:51.220 --> 02:53.331 while Big Tech is quick to censor the 02:53.331 --> 02:55.780 president quick to censor some of his 02:55.780 --> 02:59.270 top employees , they they're very 02:59.270 --> 03:01.381 reluctant . It seems to label some of 03:01.381 --> 03:03.950 the actions by Chinese officials some 03:03.950 --> 03:06.000 of the misinformation that has been 03:06.000 --> 03:08.820 spread by China , for example , to move 03:08.820 --> 03:10.876 off of Twitter and moved to Google . 03:10.876 --> 03:12.876 They created a search engine search 03:12.876 --> 03:15.153 engine for the Chinese Communist Party , 03:15.153 --> 03:17.209 which blacklisted searches for human 03:17.209 --> 03:18.764 rights and allowed for easy 03:18.764 --> 03:20.764 surveillance . Facebook and Twitter 03:20.764 --> 03:22.876 have both taken paid advertising that 03:22.876 --> 03:24.876 spread disinformation about China's 03:24.876 --> 03:26.880 mass imprisonment of religious 03:26.880 --> 03:28.936 minorities , and Twitter has allowed 03:28.936 --> 03:31.102 Chinese officials to use its platforms 03:31.102 --> 03:33.269 to spread , and this information about 03:33.269 --> 03:35.390 the Corona virus undermined the pro 03:35.640 --> 03:37.770 democracy protests in Hong Kong and 03:37.770 --> 03:39.659 more . And then back in March , a 03:39.659 --> 03:41.603 Chinese official began spreading a 03:41.603 --> 03:43.437 conspiracy theory on Twitter and 03:43.437 --> 03:45.880 egregious one that are U . S military 03:45.890 --> 03:48.530 was responsible for the spread of the 03:48.530 --> 03:51.020 Corona virus and that tweet that 03:51.030 --> 03:53.086 disinformation . It took all the way 03:53.086 --> 03:55.141 until today , when we raise concerns 03:55.141 --> 03:57.308 about it to get a fact check . So they 03:57.308 --> 04:00.350 appear to be very hastily eager to 04:00.350 --> 04:02.670 censor President Trump in some of his 04:02.670 --> 04:04.892 employees , but a little reluctant when 04:04.892 --> 04:06.614 it comes to China . It's a bit 04:06.614 --> 04:08.837 befuddling , but no one believes in the 04:08.837 --> 04:11.170 First Amendment more than the president . 04:11.170 --> 04:13.059 The president will take action to 04:13.059 --> 04:15.114 ensure that big tech does not stifle 04:15.114 --> 04:17.281 free speech and that the rights of all 04:17.281 --> 04:19.503 Americans to speak tweets and posts are 04:19.503 --> 04:21.614 protected . And finally , I just want 04:21.614 --> 04:23.614 to note one other action of Twitter 04:23.614 --> 04:25.781 that I learned just before walking out 04:25.781 --> 04:27.726 here , that on the Moller report , 04:27.726 --> 04:29.970 their anti trump headlines were anti 04:29.970 --> 04:33.440 trump by a ratio of 76 to 1 . That's 04:33.440 --> 04:35.329 extraordinary , and it's not just 04:35.329 --> 04:37.440 biased . Aimed at President Trump and 04:37.440 --> 04:39.384 his employees , it's also aimed at 04:39.384 --> 04:41.496 every day Americans it's aimed at the 04:41.496 --> 04:43.900 movie unplanned as Twitter suspended 04:43.900 --> 04:46.122 their accounts and then came up with an 04:46.122 --> 04:48.344 excuse in the aftermath . And then just 04:48.344 --> 04:50.320 another example that liberals are 04:50.320 --> 04:52.487 allowed to incite violence against the 04:52.487 --> 04:54.542 Covington kids who were in the end , 04:54.542 --> 04:56.764 proven right on their video , was taken 04:56.764 --> 04:58.487 out of context . And yet these 04:58.487 --> 05:00.598 individuals were lead were allowed by 05:00.598 --> 05:02.750 Twitter to incite violence is very 05:02.750 --> 05:05.030 disturbing to see eso those air some of 05:05.030 --> 05:07.030 the president's concerns . And with 05:07.030 --> 05:10.180 that I will take questions . That's a 05:10.180 --> 05:13.880 very nice time . Thank you . Yesterday , 05:13.890 --> 05:16.540 the U . S . Hit 100,000 deaths from the 05:16.550 --> 05:19.760 Corona virus that happened around six 05:19.760 --> 05:21.760 o'clock yesterday evening . It took 05:21.760 --> 05:23.816 until about nine in the morning with 05:23.816 --> 05:26.093 President to recognize that on Twitter . 05:26.093 --> 05:28.149 What took him so long with President 05:28.149 --> 05:30.371 recognized that landmark before we even 05:30.371 --> 05:32.371 hit it . The president , that was , 05:32.371 --> 05:34.482 after all , it was the impetus behind 05:34.482 --> 05:36.593 him lowering the flag to half staff . 05:36.593 --> 05:38.816 He did that for several days then , and 05:38.816 --> 05:38.230 that was an acknowledgement of that 05:38.230 --> 05:40.397 number approaching and he acknowledged 05:40.397 --> 05:42.563 in a tweet this morning we hit 100,000 05:42.563 --> 05:46.230 yesterday evening , 13 hours someone 05:46.240 --> 05:48.820 hours for him to recognize that tweet 05:48.820 --> 05:51.120 about it and for in advance of that 05:51.130 --> 05:53.352 benchmark . As I noted , he lowered the 05:53.352 --> 05:55.519 flag to half staff . The president has 05:55.519 --> 05:57.741 said , You know , you mentioned 100,000 05:57.741 --> 05:59.963 But the president has said one death is 05:59.963 --> 06:02.297 too many . He takes this very seriously , 06:02.297 --> 06:04.463 he said . Before , this is the hardest 06:04.463 --> 06:06.686 part of his presidency . It's something 06:06.686 --> 06:06.510 that no one wanted to see happen on 06:06.510 --> 06:08.660 Twitter . Shouldn't the president be 06:08.660 --> 06:11.040 factual ? Especially this president who 06:11.050 --> 06:13.760 has made so many false and misleading 06:13.760 --> 06:16.020 statements that has put you know , fact 06:16.020 --> 06:18.020 checkers to work across the world . 06:18.260 --> 06:20.890 He's uttered some 18,000 false or 06:20.890 --> 06:22.946 misleading statements , according to 06:22.946 --> 06:25.070 The Washington Post . If there's any 06:25.080 --> 06:27.413 president out , there could be a factor . 06:27.413 --> 06:29.524 Any political leader out there should 06:29.524 --> 06:31.747 be factory , isn't it , president ? And 06:31.747 --> 06:33.636 aren't you trying to silence fact 06:33.636 --> 06:35.636 checking ? Going after Twitter look 06:35.636 --> 06:37.747 well , First , I would say I disagree 06:37.747 --> 06:41.150 with all , if not almost all , of those 06:41.160 --> 06:43.160 assertions that you're making there 06:43.160 --> 06:45.271 because look , if you're going to get 06:45.271 --> 06:47.160 into the fact checking business , 06:47.160 --> 06:49.104 there's no one that should be fact 06:49.104 --> 06:51.271 checked mawr than the mainstream media 06:51.271 --> 06:53.493 that has been continually wrong about a 06:53.493 --> 06:55.660 number of things to give you a list of 06:55.660 --> 06:57.827 some of the most egregious ones . Um , 06:57.827 --> 06:59.716 that ABC News in December of 2017 06:59.716 --> 07:01.604 falsely reported that Flynn would 07:01.604 --> 07:03.827 testify that the president directed him 07:03.827 --> 07:05.827 during the campaign to make contact 07:05.827 --> 07:08.049 with the Russians . That was false . In 07:08.049 --> 07:10.160 2017 your network , CNN botched their 07:10.160 --> 07:12.104 Wikileaks email exclusive and were 07:12.104 --> 07:14.160 forced to make on your corrections . 07:14.160 --> 07:16.271 CNN's Jim Sciutto , another CNN one , 07:16.271 --> 07:18.382 dropped a fictional bombshell in 2018 07:18.382 --> 07:20.327 July , claiming that Michael Cohen 07:20.327 --> 07:22.438 would tell federal investigators that 07:22.438 --> 07:21.670 the president knew of the Trump Tower 07:21.670 --> 07:23.781 meeting . And there are many more not 07:23.781 --> 07:25.948 to just put the onus on CNN there . So 07:25.948 --> 07:28.114 if anyone needs to be fact checked , I 07:28.114 --> 07:30.170 think it should be the media , their 07:30.170 --> 07:30.120 news outlets that make mistakes from 07:30.120 --> 07:31.898 time to time we own up to those 07:31.898 --> 07:34.120 mistakes were correct , but always have 07:34.120 --> 07:36.231 many . You guys haven't owned up Teoh 07:36.231 --> 07:38.120 way do on our regular basis . The 07:38.120 --> 07:40.287 president never owns up to any of this 07:40.287 --> 07:42.176 false or misleading statements or 07:42.176 --> 07:44.342 outright lies you have pledged in this 07:44.342 --> 07:46.290 briefing Rooms never lied to the 07:46.290 --> 07:48.401 American people . Are you saying that 07:48.401 --> 07:50.512 the President United States has never 07:50.512 --> 07:52.679 lied to the public before ? I'm around 07:52.679 --> 07:54.901 the president . His intent is always to 07:54.901 --> 07:56.734 give truthful information to the 07:56.734 --> 07:58.734 American people . And you mentioned 07:58.734 --> 08:00.734 that the media apologizes for their 08:00.734 --> 08:02.679 mistruth Sunday . I'm sitting here 08:02.679 --> 08:01.870 looking out there , headlines in New 08:01.870 --> 08:03.981 York Times saying there aren't enough 08:03.981 --> 08:05.981 ventilators to cope with the Corona 08:05.981 --> 08:07.926 virus . In fact , we had excessive 08:07.926 --> 08:10.092 ventilators . We've shipped around the 08:10.092 --> 08:11.981 world . Washington Post US health 08:11.981 --> 08:14.037 system is showing why it's not ready 08:14.037 --> 08:16.148 for a Corona virus pandemic . We were 08:16.148 --> 08:15.930 already there's many more I could get 08:15.930 --> 08:17.890 Teoh I could on the Corona virus . 08:17.890 --> 08:20.001 Specifically , I could spend the time 08:20.001 --> 08:22.223 going through these , but I don't think 08:22.223 --> 08:21.980 that's what the American people want to 08:21.980 --> 08:25.900 hear . Yes , the case . Does 08:25.910 --> 08:28.160 the president agree with the firings of 08:28.170 --> 08:30.281 the four police officers that does he 08:30.281 --> 08:32.559 believe that they should be prosecuted ? 08:32.559 --> 08:34.503 I haven't talked to him about that 08:34.503 --> 08:36.837 specifically . But let me tell you this , 08:36.837 --> 08:38.837 Um that's you know , he he was very 08:38.837 --> 08:41.059 upset when he saw that video . I was on 08:41.059 --> 08:40.570 Air Force One . I don't know if it was 08:40.570 --> 08:42.348 the first time you saw , but he 08:42.348 --> 08:44.681 certainly saw it again on Air Force One . 08:44.681 --> 08:46.514 He was very upset by it . It was 08:46.514 --> 08:48.840 egregious , appalling , tragic , and it 08:48.840 --> 08:51.520 prompted him to pick up the phone or 08:51.520 --> 08:53.742 the chief of staff to pick up the phone 08:53.742 --> 08:55.798 and say we need to expedite what was 08:55.798 --> 08:58.020 already an FBI investigation . He wants 08:58.020 --> 09:01.540 justice to be served . Yes , thank you . 09:01.550 --> 09:03.730 Can you give us an update on when the 09:03.740 --> 09:06.760 president plans to sign the CEO Twitter 09:06.760 --> 09:08.927 and something you Can you also give us 09:08.927 --> 09:10.450 an update on his plans for 09:10.840 --> 09:14.950 thank 09:14.950 --> 09:17.006 you for the question First , I would 09:17.006 --> 09:19.117 note with regard to the timing of the 09:19.117 --> 09:21.283 EO that should be later this afternoon 09:21.283 --> 09:23.339 is what we're hoping for , hopefully 09:23.339 --> 09:25.228 before five PM But again it could 09:25.228 --> 09:27.506 change . It's still under in the works , 09:27.506 --> 09:29.728 but we're getting closer with regard to 09:29.728 --> 09:31.728 Hong Kong . I would just say , um , 09:31.728 --> 09:34.280 reiterate what I said last two days ago . 09:34.280 --> 09:36.169 But I would also say that China's 09:36.169 --> 09:38.058 decision to impose a new national 09:38.058 --> 09:39.947 security law on Hong Kong lies in 09:39.947 --> 09:41.836 direct conflict conflict with its 09:41.836 --> 09:43.836 international obligations under the 09:43.836 --> 09:46.058 principles of the legally binding U . N 09:46.058 --> 09:47.724 registered Sino British Joint 09:47.724 --> 09:49.947 Declaration , and that Secretary Pompeo 09:49.947 --> 09:51.891 determined that Hong Kong does not 09:51.891 --> 09:54.113 warrant different treatment under U . S 09:54.113 --> 09:55.947 laws because Hong Kong no longer 09:55.947 --> 09:58.002 remains sufficiently autonomous from 09:58.002 --> 10:00.224 the PRC and then anything further , I'd 10:00.224 --> 09:59.850 prefer you to the State Department , 09:59.860 --> 10:02.230 for now , More somewhat related 10:04.610 --> 10:06.790 about a minority group in China , 10:06.820 --> 10:09.810 Leakers said that , frankly , does the 10:09.820 --> 10:12.070 president plan to sign that ? And is 10:12.080 --> 10:14.990 the White House going to treat bills or 10:14.990 --> 10:16.823 just the White House ? See , any 10:17.160 --> 10:19.160 concerns about bills that have been 10:19.160 --> 10:20.870 passed by proxy is not being 10:20.880 --> 10:22.991 Constitution . So we went first . Let 10:22.991 --> 10:25.158 me say we would encourage Nancy Pelosi 10:25.158 --> 10:27.380 and the Democrats on and others to come 10:27.380 --> 10:29.602 back to the Hill . It's more productive 10:29.602 --> 10:31.491 toe Have those members here . The 10:31.491 --> 10:33.602 Senate has convened . The House could 10:33.602 --> 10:32.800 do the same , and they can do it in 10:32.800 --> 10:35.133 person . But with regard to the Uighurs , 10:35.133 --> 10:37.244 that's a very important question . We 10:37.244 --> 10:39.411 haven't received the bill yet , so the 10:39.411 --> 10:41.356 president hasn't been able to look 10:41.356 --> 10:41.330 through its and I won't get ahead of 10:41.340 --> 10:43.507 him on announcing one way or the other 10:43.507 --> 10:45.562 on that . But it would know that the 10:45.562 --> 10:47.729 Trump administration continues to take 10:47.729 --> 10:49.784 actions toe hold the CCP accountable 10:49.784 --> 10:51.729 for its highly repressive campaign 10:51.729 --> 10:53.951 against the Uighurs and other religious 10:53.951 --> 10:56.380 and ethnic minorities . Thank you on 10:56.390 --> 10:58.500 vaccines . In order to achieve herd 10:58.500 --> 11:00.910 immunity , you need about 80% of people 11:01.000 --> 11:03.167 to get this vaccine . Currently , only 11:03.167 --> 11:05.333 about 50% of Americans say they work . 11:05.333 --> 11:07.167 They'll receive it . So will the 11:07.167 --> 11:09.500 administration makes the vaccine mentor . 11:09.840 --> 11:12.210 So the vaccine let me just note that 11:12.210 --> 11:14.377 were working aggressively to get one , 11:14.377 --> 11:16.599 and we would like to get one by the end 11:16.599 --> 11:18.488 of the year . Everything does not 11:18.488 --> 11:20.488 depend on a vaccine . I vaccines an 11:20.488 --> 11:22.710 important component of this . But there 11:22.710 --> 11:24.766 are also therapeutics we're seeing . 11:24.766 --> 11:26.599 There's not necessarily a tie to 11:26.599 --> 11:28.766 reopening in an increase in cases . So 11:28.766 --> 11:30.932 that's encouraging . And I would refer 11:30.932 --> 11:32.877 you further to Alex's , who's made 11:32.877 --> 11:34.988 extensive comments on a vaccine . And 11:34.988 --> 11:37.154 here , if you guys will make it manage 11:37.154 --> 11:39.099 work , use your federal powers how 11:39.099 --> 11:39.070 you'll use them potentially to 11:39.070 --> 11:41.237 encourage people to get this vaccine . 11:41.237 --> 11:43.126 You don't have immunity . Elderly 11:43.126 --> 11:45.126 people . Immuno compromised folks . 11:45.126 --> 11:47.292 They may not be able to go about their 11:47.292 --> 11:49.514 business again . Yeah , I would have to 11:49.514 --> 11:48.850 talk to the president . I haven't 11:48.850 --> 11:51.072 talked to him about his views on making 11:51.072 --> 11:53.294 it mandatory or not . So I have to talk 11:53.294 --> 11:55.350 to him and get back to you on that . 11:55.350 --> 11:57.572 Yes , thank you . Finally , I wanted to 11:57.572 --> 11:59.794 ask you a question . First of all about 11:59.794 --> 11:59.440 the comments in your statement that you 11:59.440 --> 12:01.910 made at the conclusion of your comments . 12:02.330 --> 12:04.441 In regards to George Fluid , you said 12:04.441 --> 12:06.880 that justice will be served . What do 12:06.880 --> 12:08.880 you mean by that ? Do you mean that 12:08.880 --> 12:10.970 those officers who fired should be 12:10.970 --> 12:13.370 arrested ? You mean by that thought ? 12:13.380 --> 12:15.491 Listeners who've been fired should be 12:15.491 --> 12:17.324 prosecuted ? You mean that those 12:17.324 --> 12:19.602 officers who fired should be convicted ? 12:19.602 --> 12:21.824 What do you mean by justice ? Should be 12:21.824 --> 12:24.010 served . Yeah , I'll leave that to the 12:24.010 --> 12:26.820 justice system . Toe workout president . 12:27.390 --> 12:29.750 So that's in the president's statements . 12:29.750 --> 12:31.861 I'd refer you back to his statement , 12:31.890 --> 12:33.946 but he's being briefed on this right 12:33.946 --> 12:36.001 now . And you know , we'll have more 12:36.001 --> 12:39.680 announcements as they come in regards 12:39.680 --> 12:41.902 to what you said in your statement . In 12:41.902 --> 12:43.890 regards to the executive order , I 12:43.890 --> 12:46.112 realized it hasn't come out yet , and I 12:46.112 --> 12:48.057 realized , but we haven't seen the 12:48.057 --> 12:51.340 language , but way have seen reports I 12:51.340 --> 12:53.507 work for Fox . We've seen reports that 12:53.507 --> 12:57.430 it relates to the Section 2 30 12:57.440 --> 12:59.850 the Communications Decency Act . And 13:00.160 --> 13:02.216 interestingly enough , a former vice 13:02.216 --> 13:04.640 president , Joe Biden , has also called 13:04.650 --> 13:08.500 for the of repeal of Section 2 30 13:08.510 --> 13:10.232 says that it should be revoked 13:10.232 --> 13:12.177 immediately But , as you know , an 13:12.177 --> 13:14.454 executive order does not trump the law . 13:14.730 --> 13:17.480 Executive Order can't , for instance , 13:17.490 --> 13:20.180 repeal the law . It can't in any way of 13:20.190 --> 13:23.010 men along . So what would be the intent 13:23.120 --> 13:25.280 behind this executive order without 13:25.280 --> 13:27.280 getting ahead of what the president 13:27.280 --> 13:29.391 intends to some ? Yeah , I don't want 13:29.391 --> 13:31.558 to get ahead of that . But one thing I 13:31.558 --> 13:31.280 will say more broadly , reference that 13:31.280 --> 13:33.058 section . I think that would be 13:33.058 --> 13:35.113 included in what I'm about to say on 13:35.113 --> 13:37.113 their various shields in place that 13:37.113 --> 13:39.336 essentially shield some of these social 13:39.336 --> 13:41.224 media companies and allow them to 13:41.224 --> 13:44.010 censor conservative users and were not 13:44.010 --> 13:46.121 able to see what happens behind those 13:46.121 --> 13:48.343 shields . That section was one of those 13:48.343 --> 13:50.177 shields you mentioned . So we're 13:50.177 --> 13:52.399 looking at ways to remove those shields 13:52.399 --> 13:54.621 to shed some light on what is happening 13:54.621 --> 13:53.980 in some of the decision making behind 13:53.980 --> 13:56.290 the scenes . That's generally and 13:56.290 --> 13:58.500 broadly the idea , but I won't get 13:58.500 --> 14:00.500 ahead on any specific announcements 14:00.500 --> 14:02.500 that should come . Hopefully before 14:02.500 --> 14:04.750 five PM , John Kelly will fall upon 14:04.900 --> 14:06.900 Jim's question , in fact , checking 14:06.900 --> 14:09.600 Twitter . But first a clarification a Z . 14:09.600 --> 14:11.711 The president spoken to the family of 14:11.711 --> 14:14.630 George Floyd , not to my knowledge , I 14:14.940 --> 14:16.910 he did without my knowledge , that 14:16.910 --> 14:18.910 could have happened . But not to my 14:18.910 --> 14:21.021 knowledge . No intends to get back to 14:21.021 --> 14:22.966 us on that . I can ask him , and I 14:22.966 --> 14:25.240 could get back to you on that and 14:25.440 --> 14:28.260 regarding the fact checking with 14:28.270 --> 14:31.810 president clearly said things in these 14:31.820 --> 14:35.180 tweets that are not true doesn't do not 14:35.180 --> 14:37.550 acknowledge that . I don't acknowledge 14:37.560 --> 14:39.560 that he understands the governor of 14:39.560 --> 14:41.616 California is sending out ballots to 14:41.616 --> 14:43.727 millions of people , anyone living in 14:43.727 --> 14:45.782 state , no matter who they are , how 14:45.782 --> 14:47.782 they got there . That is not true . 14:47.782 --> 14:50.420 California is sending out a absentee 14:50.430 --> 14:53.850 ballots to registered voters , not to 14:53.910 --> 14:57.660 anybody . Yes , that's true . So let me 14:57.660 --> 15:00.070 address this in detail on the issue of 15:00.080 --> 15:02.330 Ballots on , and I'm gonna lay out some 15:02.330 --> 15:04.386 of the president's concerns . And in 15:04.386 --> 15:06.274 that I will get to the California 15:06.274 --> 15:08.274 example First , I want to know that 15:08.274 --> 15:10.330 there is a Pew study done that shows 15:10.330 --> 15:12.330 there's plenty of reason to believe 15:12.330 --> 15:14.441 that mass in the mass mail and system 15:14.441 --> 15:16.497 that there is fraud . They estimated 15:16.497 --> 15:18.920 that approximately 24,000,001 out of 15:18.920 --> 15:21.350 every eight voters registered in the US 15:21.360 --> 15:22.860 are no longer valid or are 15:22.860 --> 15:24.971 significantly inaccurate So these are 15:24.971 --> 15:27.830 people who are on voter registrations 15:27.910 --> 15:30.132 that have not been maintained that have 15:30.132 --> 15:32.210 not been kept up . More than 1.8 15:32.220 --> 15:34.109 million have been deceased , they 15:34.109 --> 15:36.276 estimated . And then when you look and 15:36.276 --> 15:38.220 drill down and some of some of the 15:38.220 --> 15:40.276 examples that we've seen in States , 15:40.276 --> 15:42.498 Nevada just I read about this last week 15:42.498 --> 15:44.387 and it just really struck me as a 15:44.387 --> 15:46.498 perfect example of what the president 15:46.498 --> 15:48.331 is concerned about with male and 15:48.331 --> 15:50.331 ballots and the fraud that could be 15:50.331 --> 15:52.387 inherent in that there were ballot , 15:52.387 --> 15:54.553 some because Nevada mass mailed amount 15:54.553 --> 15:56.720 to voter rules that were piling up in 15:56.730 --> 15:58.452 apartment complexes outside of 15:58.452 --> 16:00.397 apartment complexes in Las Vegas , 16:00.480 --> 16:02.780 sitting around in trash cans . This is 16:02.780 --> 16:04.780 how we're protecting ballots . It's 16:04.780 --> 16:07.610 extraordinary . Postal workers 1 36 16:07.610 --> 16:10.470 year old , 36 year veteran carriers 16:10.470 --> 16:12.590 said she's never seen anything like 16:12.600 --> 16:15.900 these influx of absentee ballots . All 16:15.900 --> 16:17.956 of the people had moved or died when 16:17.956 --> 16:19.956 she set out to deliver on her first 16:19.956 --> 16:22.178 delivery route , and this happened just 16:22.178 --> 16:21.890 recently . You could go read the 16:21.890 --> 16:24.760 articles from last week . She found 65 16:24.770 --> 16:26.992 ballots of people who had moved or died 16:26.992 --> 16:29.190 on her second carry 100 on . And then 16:29.190 --> 16:31.412 as the week progressed , thousands just 16:31.412 --> 16:33.523 sitting and crates . I mean , this is 16:33.523 --> 16:35.468 extraordinary . This is not how we 16:35.468 --> 16:37.412 should be protecting us ballots in 16:37.412 --> 16:39.301 South Carolina . Uh , Demps , the 16:39.301 --> 16:42.060 Democrats sued to force a rush transfer 16:42.060 --> 16:44.227 of male and voting , and this happened 16:44.227 --> 16:46.282 again recently . I think it was last 16:46.282 --> 16:48.338 week , and mail in ballots for South 16:48.338 --> 16:50.171 Carolina turned up in Maryland . 16:50.171 --> 16:51.893 There's another example of 700 16:51.893 --> 16:54.004 suspicious mail in ballots and Dallas 16:54.004 --> 16:56.060 in an individual charged with second 16:56.060 --> 16:58.282 degree felony illegal voting . And he's 16:58.282 --> 17:00.504 accused of visiting a woman in April to 17:00.504 --> 17:02.504 collect her blank absentee ballot , 17:02.504 --> 17:04.227 filling it out and forging her 17:04.227 --> 17:03.920 signature . I mean , this is 17:03.920 --> 17:06.120 extraordinary , and then you go on . 17:06.130 --> 17:08.186 There's a New Jersey example of over 17:08.186 --> 17:10.410 three 1000 ballots that were seemingly 17:10.410 --> 17:12.632 set aside and going to California . You 17:12.632 --> 17:14.577 mentioned California is one of the 17:14.577 --> 17:16.799 state's sentence , notorious for ballot 17:16.799 --> 17:19.340 harvesting on in 2018 . The registrar 17:19.340 --> 17:21.118 in Orange County said that they 17:21.118 --> 17:23.430 reported that his office had people 17:23.430 --> 17:25.960 dropping off maybe 100 or 200 ballots 17:25.960 --> 17:28.400 at a time , and somehow in L . A county , 17:28.410 --> 17:31.640 112% of L A county is registered to 17:31.640 --> 17:33.770 vote . So the problem is this . When 17:33.770 --> 17:36.470 you don't clean your register and you 17:36.470 --> 17:39.080 send out your entire register auto send 17:39.080 --> 17:41.024 out these ballots , they end up in 17:41.024 --> 17:43.080 trash cans like in Nevada . They are 17:43.080 --> 17:44.802 subject to fraud , and that is 17:44.802 --> 17:46.747 extremely troubling . So luckily I 17:46.747 --> 17:48.802 asked you a very specific question . 17:48.802 --> 17:50.969 The president said that California was 17:50.969 --> 17:53.136 sending out ballots state Everybody in 17:53.136 --> 17:52.960 the state that is a false statement is 17:52.960 --> 17:54.904 not correct . Well , the president 17:54.904 --> 17:57.071 correct that acknowledged that what he 17:57.071 --> 17:59.127 said is simply not true . There's an 17:59.127 --> 18:01.349 executive order that was put into place 18:01.349 --> 18:03.349 recently by Gavin Newsom that would 18:03.349 --> 18:05.349 auto send to voter rolls , and that 18:05.349 --> 18:07.404 would lead to what the president was 18:07.404 --> 18:09.349 suggesting . Kelly Teoh registered 18:09.349 --> 18:11.571 voters those It's not to everybody's to 18:11.571 --> 18:13.810 registered to everyone , including dead 18:13.820 --> 18:15.931 people on the voter roles , including 18:15.931 --> 18:18.570 to the mysterious 112% in L . A county . 18:18.800 --> 18:20.800 That's not does not just everyone . 18:20.800 --> 18:23.022 That's everyone plus an extra 12% . And 18:23.022 --> 18:25.078 if you're not concerned about that , 18:25.078 --> 18:27.244 I'm sorry . I mean , the media is very 18:27.244 --> 18:26.860 concerned about the security of our 18:26.860 --> 18:28.971 elections , but when it comes to mail 18:28.971 --> 18:30.916 in ballots , all of a sudden , the 18:30.916 --> 18:32.860 concern for election security just 18:32.860 --> 18:36.160 melts away from , um , 18:36.700 --> 18:38.867 research on mail in ballots . Research 18:38.867 --> 18:40.811 has shown that one doesn't benefit 18:40.811 --> 18:42.700 either party . It increases voter 18:42.700 --> 18:44.811 participation . Secretary of state of 18:44.811 --> 18:46.867 both parties are still pursuing . It 18:46.867 --> 18:50.630 can . Fraud is is 18:50.640 --> 18:53.630 not widespread . And so flies the 18:53.640 --> 18:55.640 president continuing to tweet about 18:55.640 --> 18:58.110 this and to give the impression that 18:58.120 --> 19:00.287 there is widespread fraud . And he's a 19:00.287 --> 19:02.398 little about himself . Used a mail in 19:02.398 --> 19:04.730 ballot . Big question is some are 19:04.730 --> 19:06.730 concerned that the president may be 19:06.730 --> 19:08.786 laying the groundwork to cast out on 19:08.786 --> 19:10.952 the election . Is that what he's doing 19:10.952 --> 19:10.650 by bringing this up ? Well , I 19:10.650 --> 19:12.428 appreciate you bringing up this 19:12.428 --> 19:14.650 question and specifically the component 19:14.650 --> 19:16.539 about the president using mail in 19:16.539 --> 19:18.261 ballots . There's an important 19:18.261 --> 19:20.261 distinction , and I think it's lost 19:20.261 --> 19:22.206 upon ah , lot of people . But it's 19:22.206 --> 19:24.428 important to make is that the president 19:24.428 --> 19:26.539 is okay with mail in voting , so long 19:26.539 --> 19:28.761 as you have a reason he's not okay with 19:28.761 --> 19:31.094 mass mail in voting where you auto send . 19:31.094 --> 19:33.039 As I said , toe all of these voter 19:33.039 --> 19:35.261 rolls with people who are dead that are 19:35.261 --> 19:37.428 subject to fraud . That is the case we 19:37.428 --> 19:39.372 saw I listed off for you . I think 19:39.450 --> 19:41.561 three of the five examples I gave you 19:41.561 --> 19:43.839 were from just this week and last week . 19:43.839 --> 19:46.750 So this does happen . And Stanford 19:46.750 --> 19:49.490 University did a research study that 19:49.490 --> 19:52.140 showed that there wasn't widespread 19:52.430 --> 19:56.310 fraud in these vote by mail and that it 19:56.320 --> 19:58.153 didn't benefit either party . An 19:58.153 --> 20:00.320 increased participation . So why would 20:00.320 --> 20:02.487 the president be against that ? Yeah , 20:02.487 --> 20:04.542 it is subject to both parties . This 20:04.542 --> 20:06.598 can hurt both parties . I would note 20:06.598 --> 20:08.598 that a bipartisan commission led in 20:08.598 --> 20:10.542 part by President Jimmy Carter , a 20:10.542 --> 20:10.460 Democrat , concluded that mail in 20:10.460 --> 20:13.030 ballots quote remained the largest 20:13.030 --> 20:15.086 source of potential voter fraud . So 20:15.086 --> 20:16.974 moving the entire country to that 20:16.974 --> 20:19.100 system doesn't make sense in doing so 20:19.100 --> 20:21.378 in a hurried fashion ahead of November . 20:21.378 --> 20:23.267 Just go look at the Democrat Iowa 20:23.267 --> 20:25.433 caucus and how it worked out when they 20:25.433 --> 20:27.600 tried to move to a new system , trying 20:27.600 --> 20:29.656 out on the results of the election . 20:29.656 --> 20:32.510 Finally at no , he's certainly not 20:32.510 --> 20:34.621 doing that , and I would finally note 20:34.621 --> 20:36.788 there's an additional concern that was 20:36.788 --> 20:38.899 very well laid out by the Wall Street 20:38.899 --> 20:40.954 Journal editorial board that in 2016 20:40.954 --> 20:43.066 minorities and first time voters were 20:43.066 --> 20:45.066 more likely to have mail in ballots 20:45.066 --> 20:47.288 thrown out So that is another troubling 20:47.288 --> 20:49.343 concern . In fact , Ranger 19,000 of 20:49.343 --> 20:51.650 those total votes were rejected . Yes , 20:51.850 --> 20:53.640 thank you . Back in November , 20:53.820 --> 20:55.820 President Trump , one of the Walter 20:55.820 --> 20:58.042 Reed , said it was for phase one of his 20:58.042 --> 20:59.820 physical . When does he plan to 20:59.820 --> 21:01.931 complete phase to release the results 21:01.931 --> 21:04.098 of the public ? Yeah , I don't have an 21:04.098 --> 21:03.960 update on the physical , but because 21:03.960 --> 21:05.793 you asked that I'll specifically 21:05.793 --> 21:08.016 inquire about that today and try to get 21:08.016 --> 21:11.630 you . But yes , yes , thank you . Thank 21:11.630 --> 21:13.797 you for doing this . I want to ask you 21:13.797 --> 21:15.908 about President . Has Computer is too 21:15.908 --> 21:18.700 weak . Security has spoken with him . 21:19.410 --> 21:23.240 What he's feeling about it . E 21:23.250 --> 21:25.250 did and thank you . I know that you 21:25.250 --> 21:27.417 emailed me a question to that effect , 21:27.417 --> 21:27.340 and I don't have time to follow up with 21:27.340 --> 21:29.507 you via email , but because I saw that 21:29.507 --> 21:31.673 I went into him just before coming out 21:31.673 --> 21:33.673 here , and I asked him that when he 21:33.673 --> 21:35.673 said Quote , he's feeling perfect . 21:35.673 --> 21:37.784 Quote . He's feeling absolutely great 21:37.784 --> 21:39.840 after taking this regimen , and quot 21:39.840 --> 21:41.673 would take it again , Um , if he 21:41.673 --> 21:43.840 thought that he was exposed . So he is 21:43.840 --> 21:45.896 feeling very good , and I also would 21:45.896 --> 21:48.140 point folks , there's a very , very 21:48.140 --> 21:50.360 well done piece . It's very thorough , 21:50.520 --> 21:52.576 with a lot of medical experts laying 21:52.576 --> 21:55.470 out about prophylaxis . Use of hydroxy 21:55.470 --> 21:57.710 chlor Clyne by Tina Hessman , say at 21:57.710 --> 22:00.050 science news dot or gets very well done . 22:00.430 --> 22:02.652 She talks about the nearly 200 clinical 22:02.652 --> 22:04.819 trials around the world , including 28 22:04.819 --> 22:06.986 involving health care workers . I'm in 22:06.986 --> 22:08.819 fact , at Henry Ford Hospital in 22:08.819 --> 22:11.041 Michigan . 3000 health care workers are 22:11.041 --> 22:13.152 taking it as part of a trial on , and 22:13.152 --> 22:14.819 there's some really excellent 22:14.819 --> 22:17.041 information there about some you know , 22:17.041 --> 22:19.510 the use of prophylaxis for Indiana . 22:19.510 --> 22:21.677 Medical doctors have the right thing . 22:21.677 --> 22:23.677 I have seen some of those letters . 22:23.677 --> 22:25.843 They are supporting president , taking 22:25.843 --> 22:25.660 hundreds , taking some of them 22:25.750 --> 22:28.083 themselves , taking have seen those two . 22:28.440 --> 22:30.496 Yeah , yeah , well , there's a lot . 22:30.496 --> 22:32.718 It's not specific to the president thes 22:32.718 --> 22:34.940 doctors , but they just talk in general 22:34.940 --> 22:37.218 about what they've seen . For instance , 22:37.218 --> 22:39.440 a Sarah Lofgren , an infectious disease 22:39.440 --> 22:41.551 doctor at the University of Minnesota 22:41.551 --> 22:43.773 Medical School in Minneapolis . They're 22:43.773 --> 22:45.773 testing hydroxy floor clean dare to 22:45.773 --> 22:45.690 prevent Cove in 19 . And she said , 22:45.690 --> 22:47.634 when used alone , we're not seeing 22:47.634 --> 22:49.690 major issues out of the thousands of 22:49.690 --> 22:51.912 patients . We're not seeing things that 22:51.912 --> 22:54.134 some people are concerned about , and I 22:54.134 --> 22:56.246 would just note that it's important . 22:56.246 --> 22:58.301 Of course , always if taking hydroxy 22:58.301 --> 23:00.301 Chlor Quinn get a prescription from 23:00.301 --> 23:02.523 your doctor . Doctors are the ones that 23:02.523 --> 23:04.690 need to be prescribing this . But that 23:04.690 --> 23:04.140 being said , I think that some of the 23:04.140 --> 23:06.290 hyperbole around this drug that has 23:06.290 --> 23:08.346 been on the market for 65 years been 23:08.346 --> 23:10.660 approved for Houston and three other 23:10.810 --> 23:12.977 maladies and has been approved for off 23:12.977 --> 23:14.866 label use . When there's a lot of 23:14.866 --> 23:16.866 hyperbole about this being unsafe , 23:16.866 --> 23:18.977 some of the things I've seen reported 23:18.977 --> 23:20.810 out there there are consequences 23:20.810 --> 23:22.921 deterring people from being recruited 23:22.921 --> 23:24.977 into actual clinical trials . I have 23:24.977 --> 23:26.532 some quotes from a New York 23:26.532 --> 23:28.588 epidemiologist and others conducting 23:28.588 --> 23:30.588 trial saying they're having trouble 23:30.588 --> 23:32.699 recruiting people because some of the 23:32.699 --> 23:34.643 myths that are out there . So it's 23:34.643 --> 23:36.699 important to note that this drug has 23:36.699 --> 23:36.360 been safely used by millions of people 23:36.360 --> 23:39.360 for a long time . One China principle 23:39.370 --> 23:41.370 yesterday tweeted about he wants to 23:41.370 --> 23:44.230 mediate with us and India and China on 23:44.240 --> 23:46.296 the border dispute . Or , you know , 23:46.296 --> 23:48.380 China has didn't very clearly very 23:48.380 --> 23:50.380 aggressive with this enables in the 23:50.380 --> 23:52.491 last few weeks in the South China Sea 23:52.491 --> 23:54.491 must have seen on the Indian border 23:54.491 --> 23:56.602 site west . The masses present has to 23:56.602 --> 23:58.658 these countries . Yeah . I refer you 23:58.658 --> 24:00.769 back to the president's tweet on that 24:00.769 --> 24:03.550 one . Yes , thanks . Way saw reports 24:03.550 --> 24:05.840 that before swearing and John Rack with 24:05.850 --> 24:08.420 his DNA Ric Grenell declasse to buy a 24:08.430 --> 24:10.319 trove of documents related to the 24:10.319 --> 24:12.720 Russia investigation . President hinted 24:12.730 --> 24:14.508 that those could be made public 24:14.508 --> 24:16.730 sometime soon because the director plan 24:16.730 --> 24:19.008 on doing that any time that you're Yes , 24:19.008 --> 24:21.230 and those I believe are under a process 24:21.230 --> 24:23.452 of review by the DOJ , so I'll refer to 24:23.452 --> 24:25.930 them on that . Do you have a question ? 24:25.930 --> 24:28.152 I thought I saw you had your injuries . 24:28.152 --> 24:31.750 No . Yeah , back there . Yes , 24:32.190 --> 24:34.310 thank you . I want to ask you about 24:34.320 --> 24:36.880 Russia's recent actions and living in 24:37.110 --> 24:39.550 the U . S . Africom has been issuing 24:39.560 --> 24:42.680 statements recently about US actions 24:42.690 --> 24:45.030 there on their statements there saying 24:45.040 --> 24:47.510 that Russia is clearly trying to tip 24:47.510 --> 24:49.650 the scales in its favour . Libya just 24:49.650 --> 24:52.360 like it did in Syria by deploying 24:52.370 --> 24:54.870 military l aircraft likely to provide 24:54.880 --> 24:57.940 close air support and offensive fires 24:57.950 --> 24:59.970 for the weapon Vagner Group that is 24:59.970 --> 25:03.680 supporting DVDs in a fight against the 25:03.680 --> 25:05.902 internationally recognized government . 25:06.540 --> 25:08.373 Do you have with the White House 25:08.373 --> 25:10.484 position on this . You agree with the 25:10.484 --> 25:13.380 US Africa assessment that there actions 25:13.390 --> 25:15.390 that were from actions in Libya are 25:15.390 --> 25:17.630 destabilizing the region . Now we 25:17.630 --> 25:20.070 encouraged es de escalation in Libya 25:20.070 --> 25:22.292 and for more I'd refer you to the d o d 25:22.900 --> 25:26.660 enough . It just never were innocent , 25:26.950 --> 25:28.672 couldn t see the president for 25:28.672 --> 25:30.506 deprivation and then , in turn , 25:30.640 --> 25:32.696 couldn't President Trump's attorneys 25:32.870 --> 25:35.880 immediately deposed Joe Scarborough for 25:35.960 --> 25:38.016 and allowing to go on under oath and 25:38.016 --> 25:40.370 explain how this 28 year old woman was 25:40.540 --> 25:42.707 found dead advised , ask with multiple 25:42.707 --> 25:45.760 skull fractures with the president . 25:45.770 --> 25:48.330 Welcome a defamation suit from Joe 25:48.330 --> 25:50.552 Scarborough . So when that I would just 25:50.552 --> 25:52.497 refer you back to some my previous 25:52.497 --> 25:54.719 comments that the audio on the Don Imus 25:54.719 --> 25:56.774 show was very disturbing where there 25:56.774 --> 25:58.997 was ah lot of laughing and joking about 25:58.997 --> 26:01.108 this matter . That certainly is not a 26:01.108 --> 26:03.052 laughing and joking . If you think 26:03.052 --> 26:05.219 that's Carver Grass . Did you see ? So 26:05.219 --> 26:05.170 I have no further comments other than 26:05.170 --> 26:07.337 to just point back to the don . I miss 26:07.337 --> 26:11.300 audio , who hasn't yet with 26:11.300 --> 26:13.356 the state's first notified that they 26:13.356 --> 26:15.633 would have to take the lead in Kobe 19 . 26:15.633 --> 26:17.744 Best thing I know the CBC was working 26:17.744 --> 26:19.911 on early on family separation problems 26:19.911 --> 26:21.856 with the state's told . Okay , you 26:21.856 --> 26:23.980 prepare and take the lead here in 26:23.980 --> 26:26.147 testing population , so I don't have a 26:26.147 --> 26:28.258 precise date for you . But I know the 26:28.258 --> 26:30.480 way the process went or the States came 26:30.480 --> 26:32.480 up with the plans that they thought 26:32.480 --> 26:34.313 they would need to have adequate 26:34.313 --> 26:36.390 testing in order to reopen . Those 26:36.390 --> 26:38.446 plans were given to us , and Admiral 26:38.446 --> 26:40.720 Joie meticulously went through . All of 26:40.720 --> 26:42.890 those plans ensured that we had enough 26:42.890 --> 26:45.910 supply to shore up those plans that 26:45.910 --> 26:48.132 states had and to make sure that states 26:48.132 --> 26:50.540 had enough to safely reopen S o . That 26:50.540 --> 26:52.373 was how the process when and the 26:52.373 --> 26:54.596 president has done really extraordinary 26:54.596 --> 26:56.940 work with testing . Ah , 304 100,000 26:57.120 --> 27:00.520 tests per day is a pretty good number 27:00.520 --> 27:02.687 of very good number . I would say more 27:02.687 --> 27:04.853 than 15 million done beating the world 27:04.960 --> 27:07.570 in testing numbers and under 10% 27:07.570 --> 27:10.240 positivity is at least the barometer 27:10.250 --> 27:12.180 given by the W H . O as what's 27:12.180 --> 27:14.347 necessary and nationally were at under 27:14.570 --> 27:16.570 10% positivity . In fact , we're at 27:16.570 --> 27:20.060 7.5% positivity rate , so we're doing 27:20.060 --> 27:22.282 quite well on testing . Is there anyone 27:22.282 --> 27:24.420 who hasn't gotten a question ? Thank 27:24.420 --> 27:26.130 you , President hurt from his 27:26.130 --> 27:28.074 counterparts regarding the G seven 27:28.074 --> 27:30.186 summit ? Is it actually going to take 27:30.186 --> 27:32.297 place in June at the White House ? We 27:32.297 --> 27:34.519 doing for it to take place then on it's 27:34.519 --> 27:36.686 gotten positive reception . I inquired 27:36.686 --> 27:38.741 about this two days ago and was told 27:38.741 --> 27:38.240 it's getting very positive reception 27:38.240 --> 27:40.296 from world leaders . So we do intend 27:40.296 --> 27:43.830 for that to take place here . You 27:43.830 --> 27:46.120 yourself have been able to vote my mail 27:46.120 --> 27:48.480 several times . Do you think anyone 27:48.480 --> 27:50.480 with health concerns who has helped 27:50.480 --> 27:53.700 concerns about going to the polls I 27:53.710 --> 27:57.660 should have that ? Same . So what I 27:57.660 --> 27:59.660 would note again is the distinction 27:59.660 --> 28:01.716 between absentee voting and having a 28:01.716 --> 28:03.840 reason and mass mail out voting where 28:03.840 --> 28:06.070 ballots were sent in a widespread 28:06.070 --> 28:08.292 fashion to people who are dead . But on 28:08.292 --> 28:10.403 voting rules and those ballots and up 28:10.403 --> 28:12.626 in trash cans , that's a state by state 28:12.626 --> 28:14.848 consideration . I'll leave it to states 28:14.848 --> 28:16.959 to determine what is a valid reason . 28:16.959 --> 28:18.959 But they're you know , if you're an 28:18.959 --> 28:20.292 elderly person , health 28:23.310 --> 28:25.532 and if they want to pursue that track , 28:25.532 --> 28:27.477 is there anything again ? I mean , 28:27.477 --> 28:29.643 you're asking , I assume you're asking 28:29.643 --> 28:31.866 with relation to the pandemic has going 28:31.866 --> 28:34.032 on . None of us know where we're going 28:34.032 --> 28:36.254 to be in November . I'd first note that 28:36.254 --> 28:36.190 we don't have a crystal ball . But what 28:36.190 --> 28:38.630 I would say is that there are real 28:38.630 --> 28:40.797 concerns when you don't do in person . 28:40.797 --> 28:43.019 Voting on and South Carolina is a great 28:43.019 --> 28:45.186 example where Democrats literally sued 28:45.186 --> 28:47.297 to force rush mail in voting and what 28:47.297 --> 28:49.470 happened , you had ballots from South 28:49.470 --> 28:51.930 Carolina ending up in Baltimore . That 28:51.930 --> 28:54.152 is not a tenable system . And as states 28:54.152 --> 28:56.263 start to reopen and we see people out 28:56.263 --> 28:58.263 at beaches in Florida and we're not 28:58.263 --> 29:00.263 seeing these mass spikes and we see 29:00.263 --> 29:02.430 people safely going to restaurants and 29:02.430 --> 29:04.486 social distancing and watching their 29:04.486 --> 29:06.541 hands and doing all of the wonderful 29:06.541 --> 29:06.340 middle mitigation techniques put 29:06.350 --> 29:08.183 forward by our experts , they're 29:08.183 --> 29:10.350 reopening society and they're doing so 29:10.350 --> 29:12.461 safely . And I think there's a way to 29:12.461 --> 29:14.294 continue our great civic duty of 29:14.294 --> 29:16.350 showing up and voting . I'm in a way 29:16.350 --> 29:18.461 that it's safe in the same way . It's 29:18.461 --> 29:20.628 safety at a restaurant safe to go to a 29:20.628 --> 29:22.739 beach . We can vote in a safe fashion 29:22.739 --> 29:22.520 and I think that's something that is 29:22.520 --> 29:24.687 good and to be celebrated as we had to 29:24.687 --> 29:26.798 November . All right , I think I took 29:26.798 --> 29:27.340 everyone's question
