our at that as the President of the United States, talking about his net worth during this national crisis
Morning and welcome to morning Joe, it is Lundy March twenty third, so so make good sense. When you- and I had a different reaction to to yesterday's- can we
we also, I mean. Obviously we ve been very concerned from the very beginning. We expressed our concerns,
the president and the sword.
In January. The Intel agencies warning him that a pandemic was coming. That can really be deadly,
also very concerned about the President:
get rallies that the press was whipping this
do a frenzy and to a hoax level.
Concerned about people with cable,
shows talking about how this was just a of the press was trying to get Donald Trump
this a lot of things to be very concerned about the present saying. If you want to test you can get a test just we
go, and so that not having that said,
the undoing the strong way. You can. Let me now. Let me that
We have our low expectations on what I call the ground noisome present talking about how much he's worth the president talking about Mitt Romney,
They are reacting in a way that really is inappropriate
when he finds out that Mitt Romney is isolated, but that sad,
sorting through that ground noisome. Looking at the signal yesterday
I saw actually the present trying,
by partisan towards the governors of the two most affected states
I saw my kids come up and talk about
I believe, as most important still other than everybody
socially distancing, and that is the testing we have to be able to map.
This disease is, we have them,
there were
positive that came out yesterday. I thought
in Saturday's press conferences were I'll just say it absolutely frightening and the president
worse went on to engines. He can't stay on scrip. He devotes
pity and self pity a
that is a very bad luck for our committee.
The chief and the time
of a crisis.
Also I vote for the life of me. I don't understand why he's
not using all the powers that he's using to really coordinate.
A national response. I get to your coordinated masses.
In world war, two he still holding back. He still deferring the governors,
psyche wants to blame governors. If things go badly, no Harry Truman said the buck stops here and in a pandemic the buck doesn't stop with the governor.
The buck stops with the white ass. This was a mistake. George W Bush made during Katrina.
And those of us who were on the ground in Louisiana Mississippi now the federal government was,
They are because you're waiting for the state to come in and save the day
the state didn't have the resources or the leadership to do it in a pandemic. It starts at the top still looks like Donald Trump.
Doesn't understand that so, but you you looked at it completely different than ideology. I didn't see much difference between yesterday's update in any of the others. In fact, I thought it was a lot worse
there is no national mobilization, there's no triggering of the National Defence Mobilization ACT, we still don't have tests
don't know where we are. The entire country is flying blind flying completely blind.
As to whether or not they ve had it have it or are going to get it. That's why
we are right now still and the president.
Ok, about his salary. Making snarking comments,
Bout Mitt Romney. This is a man who does not have the mentality to lead us through this crisis. Let's dive right into the latest as to what we know with corona virus spreading

rapporteur for the Associated Press, JIVE Le Maire, Jonathan. I guess what
The plans moving forward in this White House having these briefings are not heartening to
worried Americans about exactly when we're going to contain this thing have a handle on it
we have enough supplies to deal with it. Every press briefing keeps putting
off anything there announcing even warships.
On the way? Most so let let's go down the list? Jonathan and let's start first of all,
with some areas for instance, are concerned, I think most
Americans concerns are making sure
american citizens can get tests.
Making sure that hospital providers, doctors and nurses can get the masks and gloves and the protective equipment that they made and that
sick Americans,
whose life very life depends on being on a ventilator, can get the ventilators we need,
from yesterday's press conference in from the press conferences over the past several days. What can you tell us about progress on all three of those fronts and what
The president and the White House is doing to move that forward, so I shall start with the idea of the time
as you said, the vice president suggests that the Americans we caught up the backlog of tests should be in much better position by middle of this week, which is
life what they said, but that is apparently some progress, of course, will have to see if they follow through
but it's a different story with a mass of ventilators. In fact the head of FEMA
on several. The Sunday talk shows yesterday, pressed by Ankara is to win these hospitals. These men
workers will receive the masts that they need and he couldn't give a straight answer he couldn't live.
Now is the moment working from the stock power. The stockpile were asking the private sector. So so, so let me ask you this Jonathan and I think every American me
to be able to go to a website
its corona virus dot Gov, go to a website and get straight
answers about how many
asks hospitals have how many
asks or in production.
And when they are going to be delivered to hospitals, because the real
prostration here is bad
will hear the same thing over and over again, I really dont need my pants. Giving me just general
nations about how the american people are great there. I know the american people are great. We don't need that. We don't need to be told that the pandemic,
need to be told in the pandemic that churches are
Jesus he's got that right. We need to know about man
We need to know about masks. We need to know about testing
gloves. We need to know about ventilator, so I haven't gotten us.
A straight answer and I'm looking for it on test
on ventilators. I keep hearing the present talking
as I keep hearing the present talking about people who make liquor,
who are you I mean is that every day I mean I we get that people that own distilleries
to make enough hand sanitize or the last half a day at the United States awesome, but is there any place where,
We can go.
To see what the federal government is doing and who their coordinating with this
the numbers of masks and protective gear.
That are being made for our diet
theirs and nurses and technicians
who will save Americans lives over the next three weeks? Is there a place where we can do to get that number?
the answer is no and its cross great frustration from those the front lines, the mayors and governors across the nation-
yesterday, as soon as I said, the FEMA head couldn't say how many mass
you're being shipped the present
has been reluctant to fully invoke the defence production ACT yesterday. He said it was because
We don't nationalize business here that I had states who suggested he pointed to
system works there. We look want to,
socialism works there. We don't want
that here, which of course is
so because there is a political calculation to this he's repainting demo
it's a socialist for months and plans to again when the general election heats up so that
what's held him back to a degree, even though governors after governor have
irish and to do so? We heard Governor Cuomo yesterday plead with President fully enacted GPA. We
masts. We need ventilators across his partner mirror the republican governor of Texas did the same. Yes, it will get
ventilators in a second, but I want to go back
and ask why Donald Trump, why
cushioned or
body in this government. Can I'd give us straight talk straight number
straight information about
many mask production. What are they
expect this states, the hospitals, but nurses and doctors to
over the next three weeks when baby
two million Americans are going to be infected. Maybe it's five hundred thousand, we don't know they. Do you big because
he's briefings frustrating, I know a lot of people are starting. A lot of journalists are now saying we need to just stop the briefings,
that's really going to be very hard to do for a lot of different reasons, regardless of how how bad the president can be at times during
Briefings. Americans are also getting information, but why can
vase come forward and tell
as this have you got an answer from the White House? Why can't they tell us?
What can we get oversight and see
how many mask for being made, how meekly
you're being made? What they need is what the goal is
where we are, how long it will take in the present, because all they say
three times making mask we'll get some of them might again talking about
does a man that's a lot of masked, but is it
five million masks that we're gonna probably need by the end of this crisis? Now it's not even close so
the view and an answer as to why they continue to wallow in generalities instead of doing what
any business would do instead of doing
what any leader would do, and that is have the goal
the number and production have the different points of contact
who are making them asks what why aren't they doing anyway,
What any leader would do there is
straight answer. There are
details the White House: there are still struggling to catch up to this up to the sky,
severity of this crisis there playing
country, and so let me ask you this. Let me ask you this and I'm dead,
serious here? I think they are. I think there are struggling to catch up
but I'm having to tell people every day who think
this present is intensely dragging its feet?
using all the powers it. He can use that some areas
still not taking this seriously enough. I he talks about giving
Bruce lines that there are even based
America because they want to dodge taxes he keeps talking about.
In crews lines tax dollars. He keeps talking about
That's just him! I ever yes, yes, his ease, unfit temperamental ie to be present. I get it, but the question is: is a try
but the question is: is a trying his best? What do I tell people when they keep saying he still not taking it series
and he still just not doing what is required to save
means of Americans. Jonathan would invoking the defence production ACT, increased, speed and focus on getting these products to the EU,
it absolutely wood and governors mayors across the hearing or asking him to do so. There is a sin
actions by some that he is not wanting to fully lean into this because he wants to be able to point the finger elsewhere. If the matter, if the efforts fail, if he doesn't fully enacted,
he can t. We see him repeatedly shrubs shift the onus to the states to come up with these items that they need. We also know that part of what's happening this issue, Joe part of why there aren't the details partially. Why that he can't the
It has no level with the american public. Isn't his advisors are
times afraid to lever with him, for the president is looking through this still with a glass with rosy glass,
still believing this will be over sooner than later, still dismissing some of the size and health experts and there's a succinct, sometimes in meetings, a corner, our reporting, when AIDS come to him and suggests like hey, this is dire. This is this: is it
we're trying to present to you a realistic sense of how long this can taken how bad it will get. He doesn't want to hear it here

What alarms so many people in Washington and across the nation
and I ll just point to his tweet last night late last night. He tweeted. We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself at the end of the fifteen day period
make a decision as to which we will go, which lines up with a start. We're starting here around him is the belief that he feels that these draconian measures to restrict the economy may do more
harm than good, even though that flies in the face of the health experts and he's gonna be looking to push
return to a normal society. Far sooner than any health expert or doktor would want with me
but see that won't work at loose
What work, because the virus doesn't care? What Donald Trump thinks a pandemic doesn't care, what a nation's gdps
it- only cares about who we can in fact next I am it's.
Time and time again over the past several months. In my way, I'll just say here, I'm shrink for him to get this right. I've got a lot of reasons. I've got a lot of family members who desperate

You have any idea. Why he's not using the full powers of this presidency?

I don't have any special insight into why price then Trump thinks this is a good way of ramping up production quickly, because it's not working production really isn't being rammed quickly at miss. This applies
This applies to test cases, while still your hearing very credible,

You need to know whether you have grown a virus. Museum percent of Americans are going to go through that.
Without a lot of serious conditions and when their through that they're going to be
healthy and immune from the virus in the future, so they can go on with their lives. They can go back to work.
They can relieve those who are our are trying to keep businesses afloat.
They can restart reviving this economy again, but they can't do that if they don't take the test and they don't know, I saw a pagan

You know, John meet some Johns where this John, the press
Keep saying that he's a wartime president, but he's
actually using wartime measures to protect Americans and, while we're talking about war in O one of the most prestige
groups that have put out a study on the
virus and what its impact. Maybe an Americans said that if we don't do this right,
of the two million Americans could die, and we see these numbers doubling
every day we wake up, we see them. Doubling you can look at the chart were actually
moving ahead of ITALY,
Very soon, on the number of cases we are going to be the most infected country on the planet. Because of for leadership and John it's interesting.
So I unbelievably sobering that
Two million number is also

we have ever fight as a country since seventeen, seventy six

easily be worse than any war we have ever find, including this civil war, whereas
thousand Americans died
unless we get this right,
I can't we're still having trouble not getting this right. This is pure science.
This is Madison. These are facts. A pandemic doesn't give a damn about the art of the deal. Could you know what
a pandemic doesn't negotiate, it just kills until people separate and its killed.
One of the tragedies where the many many tragedies is unfolding is
criticized. The president, for
percent or more of the country sounds, is, though, we're all engaging in predictable, partisan paintball about something

since so it's working class Americans, who are going to be suffering
Steve Ratner, I fear when the stock market opens up
going to be all Americans with for a one case with retirement plans that are going to
take a rather hard hit, because this
Five hundred billion dollars slush fund for multinational corporations, has killed this Senate bill
and will now actually are with markets to collapse? Even more talk about what they we? Looking at
our sons are with the bill and also your concern.
About the markets today. What are we looking at
Let me start with the bill because the bill is central to the markets and the markets are going to react very heavily, if not exclusively, based on other developments around what happens with this bill and
go back a little bit in history Joe and talk about two thousand and eight, because what happened in two thousand and eight, as you may remember, is the bushes
Bush administration in September, two thousand and eight came up with a bill a little bit,
this that would have provided a seven hundred billion dollar fund to be used.
The Treasury to save bang settled.
Maybe it was used several companies, the house voted it down the markets collapse.
Six or seven days later, hang Paulson famously went up on its needed Nancy Plus. You said we need this and she agreed
the past. What became the tart bill,
Chris. Everything about it was perfect, but the tar bill was would save the economy. So I don't like that,
Like many elements of this bill, I don't like the special treatment for airlines and for other industries that have gotten Mitch Mcdonald's ear likes
but the fact that they are actually reopening a loophole or to that was closed in the two thousand and seventeen tax bill on alike.
There's a lot. I don't like about this, but it's not practical for the car.
We need AIDS business as well as the people if we don't save these
but he's not gonna, be any jobs and many these companies are so
we're going to run out of money, and so we
to come up with a mechanism to do that. Cairo.
Obviously can't sit there and decide longer to learn this much to this guy that much that guy it does have to delegate this authority.
Problem, you're having and wash at the moment. I've talked a lot of people in watching over the weekend. The problem
I'm a martian moment is there's no trust. The Democrats, as you said,
This is a slush fund. They don't trust the administration to implemented or executed the alternative
no alternative, because, as I said, Congress can't sit there and allocate
owns one by one to every
medium sized business around the country that needs it, and so that the latter
trust. This exists on the hill for the last several years since from railway and even in late, Obama has essentially brought us to a place where
are deadlocked, and based on that,
It's gonna roll over the futures were down limit cut by members,
this is hard to compare. George W
motion and Barack Obama, because a
fact we're working on this together, because this happened at the end of George W Bush is term at the beginning,
Barack Obama's term, he can't compare them
Us Donald Trump and Stephen.
An ocean because nobody's going
for us, Donald Trump and Stephen Urchin their past,
money out based on aid. Donald Trump has made it very clear over the past three and a half years,
he rewards his political friends
polishes is political.
Me so again. He keeps talking about crews lines. He's going,
bailout. Crews lines did
even american companies that take american dollars, but then go
off shore, so they don't have to pay american taxes me there there is,
sometimes there's
trust because of a toxic political culture, sometimes
There's no trust because
the parties that are asking for trust have shown over burdened by their past conduct. They are not
worthy of trust and government, and I didn't
People in Washington would suggest that tunnel
Robin Steve. Malirchen are
worthy of trust can be handed a fight
hundred billion dollar check and say you guys go do what do you think is best for America that doesn't end well for anybody
We grew the job, but the american people are looking to Washington to solve this problem, and if we failed us,
This problem, because you ve got these two sides. There don't agree- and I
Magruder, I don't trust, Donald Trump and Stephen Merchant, either given their performance,
we're going to drain the swamp except they felt swamp. So we
we need to look for. Creative solutions is talk about having a special master independent person. Look over.
Let's talk about delegating this authority to the Federal Reserve, but we gotta go
but the solution there's got to be in addition to helping ordinary Americans Disney,
states. In addition to providing money
hospitals, all the things you were talking about. If we don't find a way to provide
the millions of american businesses, what's happened in the stock market,
far what's happening. The economy so far would be nothing compared to what would happen
What's this money, this five hundred billion dollars could be transferred to the first
for its discretion or have done. You can have Donald Trump.
Or an Nancy Pelosi Select Especial Master and those two people maker,
would be the ones who would make the decision on who was
maybe getting the money. I mean we ve done it before in other areas we can
with this too, but this is a non starter. Having Stephen Newton have all the power
an authority over half the trillion dollars.
It's never going to pass? We have a new peace in the Atlantic magazine, which explains how we can beat the corona virus joining us. Now we have the two co authors, professor of pediatrics, at
Indiana University, school of medicine and irregular contributor to the New York Times, Doktor, Aaron Carroll and Director of the Harvard Global Health Institute. Doctor a sheet
joy. He as a practising physician and also professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, also with
morning Joe chief medical correspondent, doktor days, doktor girl, how do we beat the grow virus? We have to do two things and the shore
we have to really engage and strong mitigation. That's the slowing down the number of cases that are showing up
fast and we do that by a lot of the time,
The body done social distancing,
staying in the house thing away from each other.
Creating a lot of the equipment that we're gonna need to handle the massive surge of sick people, but that's the short game
the long games gotta be suppression. We gotta squash this thing and we do that by testing lots
people think now who's this
those who are well they might be living. Whilst we have to think about that at least in really give up
for the following. This could get really really bad.
The suppression involves testing. We don't have it so
right now, you're you're, talking about something that we can't do now little,
after I mean we know that we have to, and so we have to stop saying things like this
happen soon or its right around the clock:
or you know we're gonna haven't any second out. We have to start really doing it
their countries have its clearly possible. He have the resources and the money. We really do
to get our act together and start doing it protesting is only part of it
messerli the most important part right now. What we really need to be doing right now is making the equipment and resources that we need to protect our healthcare workers and get them what they need to care for the people who are going to get sick, cuz they're going to get sick. It's come
So make it this is like in December AIDS, nineteen, forty one when everybody woke up and said we need bombers right every week. We we can't just say what what's going to happen. It's going to happen
testing remains the most critical thing for our long term health, and we still aren't doing it right. I hope this week maker, the president, the
president tell us how we
Ford, untasted doctors. How do we actually get amass mobilization of supplies? Is it the president actually using the defence production act so good morning? Guys look?
First of all on testing we tested about forty thousand people. Yes, that's progress, so good news is.
We're not abysmal, now we're just inadequate.
So that's progress. We
testing three to four times as many people is that right, so we still have a long way to go. We have hospitals now filling up
doctors and nurses taking care of people without adequate supplies. That is a Travis
because when those guys get sick, when the doctors and nurses get sick, no
these out of the hospital to take care of you when you gets so we ve gotta
sad right away. Every city,
in states trying to figure out how to do this on their own. We need the president
out and use the dpa or whatever powers he's got to say this is
priority already number one. We have the real
forces the ingenuity we're going to take this on. I haven't heard that I've
mostly heard hey, we go
it is common, don't worry, I'm worried, we don't have it. We gotta get it.
Kay for Doktor, Caroline job? If you can prepare what this looks like in a week or two from now? If we don't get it together? Meanwhile, Doktor Dave Campbell ran Paul, tested, positive.
Couple of concerns about that story, of course, were concerned about his health, but what
Their issues has his case, raised
Paul is a senator and physician anymore.
Cons right now are looking to leaders to follow their example, so it must be clear that
Senator Paul needed the test because he had done and it was positive, but he was a symptomatic,
so he is proven in one single person the importance of testing people who are asymptomatic,
who are having reason to believe they were exposed to the virus. Only
Nepal knows how intimate his
osier was that caused him to test positive. It must have been intimate because these positive
The part it is exceedingly hard for me to comprehend and even accept is it won T.
Knew he was likely to be needing a test and got it. Then he went out
and exposed to others. He went to a lot. She went to a gem. He went to a pool as it physician that part. It doesn't make sense to me at all
and dared not practising worked. The president, even his preaching Dave Campbell one more for you. Will the New York and California being hit hard New York's of hospital is already overrun. What is the next hotspot for the corona virus?
Leave it's going to be Florida, or at least likely to be Florida. We have
all the spring breakers that have come down here overrun our beaches overrun our sandbars. They have now lock that down, but we
the senior citizens, the older people that are sick, that are ill, that
the nursing homes that's perfect storm with spring breakers and old people. I can't think of a worse
nation. My guess is this week will see
Lord and number spike, particularly deaths and older people doctor.
This is in this underlines. The bigger problem ran Paul and them
eggs that were made by Florida, Governor Rhonda Satis, allowing spring breakers to continue on spring break. Why guess forty?
Fifty per cent of people under eighteen or a symptomatic
This is based on an article I read,
We can correct me if I'm wrong, so you can, if you cat test people
who came in contact with somebody
current virus, but aren't showing symptoms. Then we really are just flying blind reigned at the sight of a mountain, aren't way we're still flying blind,
and is really hard to find, a battle like the corona virus? Until we have clear site on how bad the cases are, many people are infected where there are infected,
they are in fact dang. None of that is doable until we get Bro,
testing, which is why, right now and last week, when I was on morning Joe, I said we need,
ash and pause. We gotta get our arms around this thing. Once we have arms are on this thing. We can mix
our decisions about. Can we left
places, relax a little bit. What kind of things can we do? We can't make it
Those decisions, unless you have data and testing is what gives us data
all right then giants the mayor. I mean at this point what these two doctors Carolyn jar talking about is what we can do to stave this off. The images of what this
Look like a week or two from now from what I've heard from different doctors that we ve been
talking to and scientists could be really bad. That's right!
and the mayor, Blasio was on meat. The press yesterday saying that New York City was about a week.
Two away from running out of equipment and therefore
devastating effects so Doktor Carr. Let me ask you that let's talk a little worst case scenario for a moment your nearest
is there merge sort of his the hot spot for this. The cases I believe went from like three hundred to nine thousand and the span of a week. What do we look
here. It shows. How do you expect the numbers to spread in New York and how dark could it be, if
No government doesn't step up with any the equipment. So far,
We recognise that, even with good protection, a lotta infections were seen worthy baked into the cake they happen.
Last week before people started distancing, and so the numbers of people
continued on the pathway they they've been, which is a doubling about every three days. That's horrific, but it's gonna continue
probably for a little while, even if we do a good job with this, the consequences for physicians and healthcare workers and hospitals are incredibly dire because their running out of equipment that they need to protect themselves, which means
as they get sick. It's gonna be harder, provide care for Americans clusters
and only so many broadband leaders and ran beds that are available. We need to start ramping up. There is not yet the real commitment
actual numbers and dates of delivery that we need to be seeing so that places like
You are no they're gonna be prepared. It's important to stay.
Again. This is just a short.
I'm game. We ve got the fall,
all to worry about in the long term game all those numbers of millions coming, that's still to come. It is still a good doctor,
Aaron Campbell. Thank you for being where this doctrine Dave. Thank you, as always in Doktor John. You can see
with its just one minute. I have a quick question for you at the top of the hour, I too very much our thanks to Doktor Aaron Carolus well, coming up, president Tromp has had to deal with several current crises in his business career and his personal life
now trying to use his familiar strategy of bluster and bravado to combat global pen,
I'm at the New York Times. Peter Baker joins us next, with his latest reporting plus Michigan
horsewoman Hayley Stevens on how to mobile.
Public health crisis morning. Job will be right, back hey it's
sprightly need in this public health crisis morning, Joe we'll be right, back pay its critias this week in my pocket. Wise is happening all be talking with computational biologist, Coral Burg strong, but what we do indeed
know about the corona virus, once these things get out there, and this is kind of sort of a key aspect of misinformation, and this information is the once they're out there. They really
they often they spread, and so Jonathan Swift said several hundred years ago that
switch flies and truth comes limping after an and that's what happens on the internet, of course, that there is a more recent version.
Which is known as Brando in his book, they cemetery principle, and it says the amount of work that it takes to clean up both does an order of magnitude larger than the amount of work it takes to create it.
So we definitely see that sort of thing happening with all kinds of conspiracy theories, including this one around the virus that this week on. Why is this happening? Search for? Why is this happening wherever you're listening right now and subscribe.
