People are media, saying it was just a hope.
Friends. Let me tell you something

John meets, and let's try to sort through what we heard yesterday from the president, the conflicting messages that we ve been hearing the present
says: he's a wartime president
we heard from real
the most esteemed healthcare providers on the planet, but up to two
point: two million Americans could die as we discuss repeatedly here, that, to put that in perspective,
Americans watching
those are more Americans killed by this pandemic that have been killed and every war since seventeen, seventy six and seventy
want to continue this analogy. The present keeps talking about getting
troops home from Afghanistan, more people have died in the past three weeks from this pandemic
then died in Afghanistan. U S troops have died in Afghanistan over the past eight years. Let me say that one more time more people
have died in the United States in the past three weeks from this pandemic then die.
In the past, eight years in the
Afghanistan, war? U S troops, and yet John this president
and some of his advisors are making their calculation, people are
why did I
economy is more important work.
To ignore our healthcare officials and open things up knowing that? Well this,
market, is more important than senior citizens in their mind. How do we put this? How do we even begin to put this perspective John, but I think we go back
Margaret Mitchell, which she will appreciate. Remember the seed and gone with the wind, we're all

Right now, new city is going to need that and see, of course, is the home of the show,
New York city is going to need that near see. Of course,
the home of the show, and so many people who work here and appear on it. New York's, been through a lot of dark days.
One September tool
twenty years nearly twenty years ago, a particular miracle get through this by this is going to be hard and that's the one
Governor Connally. Austria is that we have some very dark days ahead in the next couple weeks.
And what was a plaintive cry to the White House for help one
has largely followed,
our fears, the White House did say: there's yesterday after Como appeared than other four thousand ventilators from the federal stockpile
will come to New York State but much more
is needed, and you saw that clip. You played the very top of the show how this works the president needs to
flattered his aids have worn governors that they need to do that, but they need to play nice
with him, they need to there's no suggestion yet have been united, that the government has deliberately withheld equipment from the states
fear among the states that they might so you're, seeing governors like former Newsome, who are usually rather
Mystic to this White House, trying to flatter the president in television appearances to try you
him along to try to press him into fully mobilizing and using the defence project, which this point has not happened. We talk yesterday job the president.
Is impatient. He's angry he's willing to break with his health,
we saw some subtle push back yesterday from Doktor
ouch and others from the White House Polio, suggesting that that extra time
was on realistic. It's probably going
more than subtle pushed back to change the president. Now, of course the countries
we go back to business entirely in a few weeks. It's gonna, be it looks like they ve current plan is obese and isolation. The hot spots, the New York's to carefully
the Washington States, will largely stay lockdown. Of course, it's the governors who have the final say the president.
Impose a locked on measures. He can't list them, but there's going to be a move, a trial
A lot of this country back to work in a few weeks will be passed at fifteen day window. That will come to an end in a few days but Easter, so
apparently the target, even though by now
we every measure every study, every health experts that is
wildly premature. That is right.
Premature Joe and could all

Lots of senior citizens like Florida, like Arizona part of the country that don't have the health care system, that new
as New Yorkers over well. Now, an identity plays a role in that, but other parts this country are going to be
just as hard hit in a matter of weeks. Well
sober. Well now, and
The worst is yet to come from the next
we are going to be horrible,
especially for this.
You are going to see scenes out of ITALY if governor com
Please are not heard, and even if they are heard,
I think the windows already closed on New York City. The tragedies coming, the Gub United States government needs to pay
warm tree eyes now and throw everything it has at New York, because, as Andrew Como said, they're, just the Tipp of the sphere
This is going to happen all across
the country and the coming
is and weeks and months. You know John need some. This reminds me so much
I wasn't needing to flattered reminds me of discussions we ve had about
Intel Chiefs warning him about
should this information
warning him about right
in trying to interfere with them.
In democracy and
the more. We are asking that question in Helsinki. If he was concerned- and you said no,
and trust his own appointed
they'll chiefs in the United States. He trusted a former KGB officers word instead, and it was again it was the
disregarding the expert advice of
those closest to him, because it didn't line up
with his pre existing reality. Forgive me for giving another example of this, but remember when James Madison, two thousand seventeen get
entire secure national security team around him and gave him a history of
post war world from nineteen forty five forward, the President called it B, S got up and it didn't. It didn't work
up the facts do not line up with his pre existing prejudices.
And so we said it was bs and that's when
Rex till arson
had had a certain name forum that that that operate in the here, we're not talking about Intel,
agencies we're not talking about the next election, we're talking about
point. Two million Americans lives at risk and this president deciding
what senior citizens lives he's going to save,
what senior citizens he's going to let die
stone, whether a governor from that state, flatters him or not. That is where we are.
Now. There's the ancient actually back see from the major world that character is destiny and
so, they can also be translated as fate in that sense, and in this
is the character of the presidency is shaping the
destiny and the fate of all of us. It's not so.
Partisan, paintball issue its
Not even about Ukraine? It's not about the second

What about liberty or the positive of it's about life?
fundamental role of a government in the social contract. Is the protection of life
and so it seems to me that this is in no way a partisan point. This is a key
for science, for data for facts and if we're going to talk about it
Easy Asko calendar, which I am all for, and I know you are let's talk about
open by Ascension Day right, that's,
only days after Easter. It's a lot.
Time but eastern,
be too soon. But do you know why
there was, there are other moments here, and I say that from
position where I can still do my job then
Fully aware of that- and this is a word
be going through an extraordinary stress test of
and worthy and reaching out and
There is an instinct on the part of a lot of us to want to do that
the president as well. We know
it's not an easy job,
We know that you know
everything hits the accept locus ours as as binding as about the first days of of Obama, but even with that empathy for the president,
He has a fundamental responsibility to protect. The lives of
the life of the nation and the lives of Americans and there
precious little evidence in his haste to
shut this down, that he's going to fulfil,
responsibility and if he does
It does so quickly he's not going to

It's not it's not. Somebody is nine, it's not Robert Mahler right.
It's right, trucks, rumour, it's not speaker, but it is a virus
was it gets.
Iris me he's not going to set the government down
He also is not going to be able to tell everybody to go back to work on Easter, because
that's when the storm comes on shore, so
we have really is the worst case scenario we're in the middle ground.
Is this guy that get elected by saying, you're fired in claiming that he
The tough leader he's actually just opposite he's. Did the ring right now, while the store
come on you, she trying to brand it his way, but he's afraid he's scared,
to do what he needs to do. He scared to do what every health
expert in the world has told him will actually bring
this virus to a halt and well
actually allow people to get back to work. He's scared right now and he needs to be in
courage days will be strengthened by everybody who supports some too.
Save seniors lives to save. Millions of Americans live by
adding that government down now making a hard decisions now the country and reaping the benefits several weeks from now
several months from now after we shut down the country like every other major powers
The numbers planet, World Health Organization says now that you, as has the potential to become the new episode,

The president says we're going to open up by Easter are too.
Giving pressure from the president- so should the United States lock down or what's the best guidance for the? U S at this point
states lock down or what's the best guidance for the? U S at this point
they will. What we look at is what what works and what have we seen work around the world and right now, there's
very few countries that have actually been able to reverse this this epidemic and bring them
sit down to very low level and in fact the only country that's done, that is China, and it did do fundamental.
To achieve that. The first thing he did was it spaced, the people. You know through
shutdowns and locked downs, etc, reducing the amount of signing context it space, the people, but the second funding
until saying that a death was tried to stop the change of transmission by testing every
not suspected case
by then isolating and making short, effective isolation of all the cases and then quarantining of their close contacts, and it was a combination that one piece or the other locked down slow down a virus like this, you ve got to find those transmission changed, cut them, actually stop it at that.
Of infection that we're saying in the? U S: do you foresee the? U S being able to reduce restrictions and guidelines in the net,
Few weeks, I I think,
I think the data are gonna- tell us that at that as it on folds- and you know the: U S is a gigantic country, so very difficult to say something is going
happened right across the whole country. You're going to see this evolve differently in each part of the country and again, if I just go back for a second time,
You had the war on experience, which was very, very unique, but you had thirty other provinces
learn from bad, then moved very, very fast on the key functions that I just told you about and as a result, they had very, very different outbreaks and they were able to get function
again much more rapidly than we seem to move from words. Its run of old were nearly three months in now before there before they're, letting it be about two and a half months between when it first here when it, but the first
measures in place there when they actually lifted them.
Doctor. I want to show you a short that we ve been showing our
this morning, not sure if you can see it where you are, but this chart actually
the Johns Hopkins numbers and an end that that the financial times,
this puts in every day if we can zoom in guys like we did last time the United States, obviously above
everybody else now above China above Spain, and we're actually
closer to the line where we double every two
users and other chart. I'm not gonna show here that shows New York cities rate of infection going
straight up,
As you see the United States and Spain and ITALY
wanted to ask how headway. If we separate
an end and Americans get more aggressive on that.
How long until that trend
it starts to occur because we obviously going to zoom pass China and ITALY and Spain within
three the next two days actually yet so that the critical thing when you ve got
a rapidly increasing rate of increase of disease like there's a fabulous experts, it s, people in the world there in the? U S dieting others, people like Tonia, just a bird, but what you wanted
the first thing you gotta do is try to take the heat out of this thing, slow it down and you ve gotta, make it difficult for the virus,
remember, this is a virus and, as other speakers have said, this survives
people whose gotta get from one person to another person and every person in the U S has gotta make it more difficult for that virus, which means that physical distance
people are talking about, which means the handwashing people are talking about, which means respiratory precautions. Because of you
all of those things you make it hard on the virus. You slow it down. Now it takes a little
to see the impact of those you can take as much as two weeks. Even if you do it extremely well, because remember assume
you put those in place. You
already. Have a lot of people have been exposed their incubating the disease and that can take one two weeks without an incubator disease. Let's say to manifest, so it could take a look,
those measures. Did you get it? That's very difficult for a population is very fragile.
For a population and is really
the hard for the people of the leaders who have to guide a population through these kinds of measures, doctor
stay with you, I'm gonna thank John meets him for being with us, as we continue talking. Thank you so much John Doctor,
Look at the next. You look at the charred and what's
workable to me is how EAST does not meet West. The difference between countries in the east and countries and
the western civilization and yes
we could say that China, of course, impose restrictions that we can in a democracy by Japan is a democracy.
South Korea, democracy, and
you see that South Korea, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong, these for asian,
countries. Are city states were able to flattened the curve
extraordinarily well talk about the difference between
what's happened in Asia and one
as you may have may now. I actually spent two weeks in China
as you may have may now. I actually spend two weeks in China as an really the peak and just pass the peak of the crisis there,
and what I saw was an extraordinary effort, isles and all the self dream itself. Greens, gyp, Japanese, Singapore, folks, all with us actually in that in that mission to China, where we really examined what was actually happening there. What was taking the heat out of this thing, and you too
was most striking. For me was the asian society. It wasn't what I was being told the terms of the measures being imposed by government. It was the passionate
The diligence, the sense of responsibility, the seriousness of the average
needs, and I want to use that term very carefully because they weren't,
reserve extraordinary people, but they were driven
by a sense of collective responsibility for their elderly for their population and they then, just now
an extraordinary understanding of the disease and a commitment to do what was ever necessary might
the data lockdown came, and she was therefore a month at that point, and I asked for a while. This must be really difficult shit I saw her cell phone and who is a pitcher to gorgeous little kids on my said, I, I guess
I said wow. This must be really difficult
kids on it, and I guess there here with you, though, and she said no
a thousand kilometers away, but this is my
duty. This is our position to do it's, it's not about,
these individual about us- and you know that
was what enabled China, and then South Korea, Japan, etc. Very similar, they're, all doing the same thing they are putting shut down
someplace place where necessary to slow it down, but then they are mobilizing their whole population to help with the identification test
in a situation and then quarantine and supporting people who are currently in. So it's a real movement in these countries to apply not just to big shutdowns cousin,
just slow down, but also those other fundamental pieces which take a massive mobilization of people to effectively. You know
in it as your seeing their now. That's the big difference. It's the second piece of this, which is so important,
you're population, with you to be able to implement well
course in in unfortunately the state of Florida. While we keep this chart up, we ve been seeing pictures
spring break we ve seen pictures of of of
Roger hundreds of students on the honor
on sand. Bore. I had one person
who took their boat pass that sandbar telling me that he's lived here,
entire life and it was a most crowded. The sand, moreover, was that's while why wall are right,
is still going up golf courses across Florida, newer, alas, they can't actually tee
times, are more jammed. The golf courses are more urgent than ever. There's a
sounds that way,
you saw in Asia. We are not seeing here. I want to show you the next chart, a doctor,
and this is a bit of cities-
and regions that are.
An impact it and, of course,
you see will on Bosnia, Madrid,
and Washington, London, but you look out
way to the left. My guide-
New York, city, actually Club
to the line where the deaths will double every day. Talk about them,
this trend lines in New York, city and
It is true what I heard from a health officials yesterday that
York is actually going to end up
his bad is ITALY are perhaps worse? Is it too late too
work. That disaster
I strongly believe you always fight your word for word right and you are where you are and I'm in in terms of the situation in New York and then
are there, any measures that are being put in place are absolutely
gonna be needed as we go forward. You know this effort to create man
if isolation capacity to be able to get sick people out of houses out of cramped areas where they may be, can do here, you don't contributing to the disease. Theirs,
ass of efforts to help people understand their role in transmission and to really slow this down, because
If you want to save lives in a crisis like this part of it
treating the said yes, but the other thing is, you have to reduce the number of sick so that
we're health facilities. You know your fabulous doctors, nurses, healthcare workers, videos in New York can do
lifesaving work, but you gotta take some of them
drain awesome by taking some of the heat out of this. They fight
early, isolating the mild cases well making sure every
who has called it? No, they have it because one
the dangers with this disease. You know they call it a mild illness, but the reality is people will get the virus they make.
Better a couple of days later and then they think. Well, now, I'm fine. I can wander back out into society, but those healthy people who
mild disease can still shed that virus for fourteen days, which means they could go back out and start
All over again Joe. You know you have got to address,
All of those pieces, if you want that trend line in New York to change, cannot change absolutely, but that requires all of the people of New York. Working with the commission are working with the mayor too.
You get the measures that they know they that they're saying the right things. I understand this disease doctor.

and here is
we're in the middle of a crisis
humanitarian crisis. In its canvas,

after Hurricane Katrina Churches, my church,
other churches? We would drive over the Mississippi Louisiana every day and we can help we can. We can give people, water,
give mothers diapers for their babies,
give them food give them the necessity. Is a government wasn't helping here
you saw in the New York Times this morning that even a kind
act of delivering groceries to a neighbour is dangerous.
And could spread the virus? I would guess this
for four
spiritual community for those who usually reach out and
of these crises.
Not even allowed to do that. This is a very unique humanity.
In crisis
There is just a lot of people who usually step in and help during these times are
to be sidelined, because they would just make things worse.
It is a very strange kind of situation because as
stating what could train or other disasters,
We knew what to do with this theirs.
All kinds of precautions and caution that prevent that,
in our innovation action action that we been working with the World Kitchen organization giving out
who did our headquarters quarters? We had to do many different types of precautions to prevent.
Those that would come and get them. That would have to be socially distant. And
I haven't is a they work. There would give it out and we done several thousand already, but we ve had to do it.
The most unusual circumstance the problem
Joe, was as you ve been saying, is New York has become the epic centre and
not even near the peak, and if
gonna use the biblical language, as that approach
say yesterday
these two special bit him. Will you
did not a whole Easter story. You can not get too Easter Sunday without first gone through
so fiction on Friday, a crucifix
in precedes the resurrection, Mr President, and we have not even got up calvaries Mountain yet to the crucifixion regions
the cross on our back. We are going to go
through a real crucifixion. A real height in this pandemic
in New York and as governor
most says: one did
we'll go around the country before we can get a resurrection Sunday, a pre,
mature resurrection. Will you will lead to a disaster, and we need to understand that deal with it head on,
all right, there's also a relief for Americans and business owners. Small and large two trillion dollar legislation, the White House calling the single largest
in straight assistant, in assistance programme in the history of United States, hasty hunt,
talk about the laundry list here that they got through twelve hundred
there's two most adults: five hundred for each child, four months of unemployment, instead of three more than
hundred billion for hospitals, three hundred and fifty billion for small business and five hundred billion,
for corporations how's it going to work and work
where the main sticking points? A Democrat said that at this point there just gonna take it up as it is
can I, before you answer that Casey? Can we just some breaking news here
than a mere tweeted this year,
palace says heir to the throne Prince Charles tests, positive
the corona virus, BBC News also prince of Wales, suddenly one test positive when grown a virus,
and as mild symptoms are in case. You got an answer that will follow this story: yeah yeah, pretty remarkable South South isolate
in Scotland. That really underscores the fact that this is something that that obviously spares no one. I do think America
should be relieved that the steel came to be overnight. Democrats had asked.
They said that they were given
a line in the sand they weren't going to. Let me panels procedural vote scope.
While they demanded more money for hospitals more money,
Actually I think I think the thing that people should focus. The most honest is the expansion of unemployment insurance. It's not going to be for four months democrats consider that to be a big win and fur
people at home. You know that's a little bit of an extra cushion, because I do think that
you're lying reality that we ve all been talking about this morning, is that Easter is an increase,
Billy unrealistic Timeline for this to be
and you know you don't
Liz Cheney tweeted yesterday, there there's no way we're to have an economy that open and running if
we did yesterday there
with people dying, is simply not going to happen even Senator Lindsey Ground, who I know, has been on a long street.
Simply not going to happen even
said the opposite. Yesterday he said you know. This is not what we need to be doing. We need to be changing our behaviour because mean this
said you know this is not what we need
be doing. We need to be changing our behaviour because mean this this. What congresses doing we were
forty five minutes into the show. We are still in the thick of this pandemic. Vat
The main focus of the story and Congress is about to spend too
trillion dollars. It is on precedent it and I think that the way that we're
covering the story shows that it's only
beginning and we
some very real challenges in terms of whether or not we are actually going to be able to get it to work. You know if this president doesn't take the actions he needs to take
This is going to have to keep trying to help make it better.
For time, but at a certain point
when does it all potentially become ineffective? I think you know they have
scrambling to try to make sure they get this together and that's the question hanging over everybody. The one other point I will add:
this is that pigs, we them to pass this in the Senate today, but to get it through. The house,
without bringing our whole Congress back into the same room at me, Joe. You ve, been on a house floor and good luck, social this evening with four hundred and are, in my view, glared green and those passing is completely
so unrealistic. But that means that every single member of the house has to agree to move this pact
forward- and just in my shoe, as you know, one of the original tea party members of the car
most other now he's left the Republican Party over Donald Trump already tweeting
sizing this bill so he's somebody to watch mean it only takes one to potentially
ran all of this for breaching the american people
and Casey or so right. It is so jammed on that
floor. It is so jammed in the cloak,
said so jammed and the hearing rooms it is. It is a way
case in hurry, wonderful hunter, I'm seven years and I walked under the house floor and I just thought good.
There are a lot of people in this room. It is just pack, it's like its unfortunately insight times square
couple things your Jonathan Wellmere. First of all, I just wee wee. We we talked about the coming storm. I ever

from financial times that scientists actually found that I

I have been hopeful, but there is starting to get more data that perhaps in New York

evidently lessen the impact of of cover nineteen? Let's, let's, let's talk more,
This deal last night, Jonathan, how it came together, the present again talking about by port
since ship on line on its press conferences, but at night
hurling attacks against the Democrats.
How did this come together and is the president pleased with this bill
is it an approach to this was, as it often is a little bit scatter shot. You write in most of his public forms. He was preaching the need for my part and ship, but yet onto it.
Swinging errors are Democrats, him. The White House is desperate to sort of get this done,
came together after one in the mornings is treasure diminution.
The lead on this others and white ass to include actual state of affairs, in fact, to actually
The deal where there are the capital quite late
not heard the president way in this morning. But I think there is a sense that than he does
to push this through
ass. In this case, he was suggesting that there's gonna be a need for me,
this is a historic and massive
at age its
is bigger than the. U S: government, I believe, spends a year most of the time
she's gonna, be something that they need. They're gonna have to revisit, because in
the coming weeks as the effects of this, despite the president's
to reopen the nation for business or an easterly, some of it. This is going
help for a long while
time is as we as, though the markets are pleased with this there's still
an were staring into recession, if not potentially depression Casey. Let me
you're a follow up.
There's a lot of discussion. The last couple of days about the fate of this five hundred dollar five hundred billion
our slush fund for corporations with Democrats really pushing for a lot of
some sort of oversight and needed. I believe a deal was struck on that. Could you walk through what the agreements.
Sure, Jonathan and the idea is to essentially put an inspector general in place to oversee these deals, and Democrats were also focus on some provisions that would have kept secret big companies that
benefiting from this and they were able to make some adjustments to that. But I think one of the most critical piece is here, and one thing I'm hearing underscored from Democrats is that,
did add a provision to prevent businesses that are related to the
the president emanate bait outline the offices, but in this case its its president, tromp members of Congress and people who hold executive cabinet positions
Will not be eligible to receive this aid, so there was a lot of cash,
and frustration on the hill, especially for the president.
Comments over the weekend where he said it cost him a lot of money to be present in the United States that they were going to pass this
and it was simply going to enrich the president and the family business that he has made some
moves towards distancing himself from, but that is his oldest son- still runs, and we know how focus
he has been on that generally. They obviously been pretty hard hit by this, because all a lot of their clubs golf courses for had to closed, but in this bill they will not be able to tap into
aid that many other businesses in companies
to rely on in the coming months, all right
Thank you so much reverent. Now we greatly appreciate you being in
as well and make yesterday there became the
recognition that
despite a lot of business leaders that they were confident that this bill was
to pass because Donald Trump had to close down his hotels
his resorts moral logo and as
said for three and a half years on foreign policy. If there's ever
foreign policy, move that doesn't make sense to you
follow the money it benefits and financial. I follow the money and it's not follow the money as it pertains to campaign contribution
follow the money as it pertains to him.
Firstly, whether its having a close relationship with the Philippines, where
He has of course
their properties there are
hours are the Saudis when the
so the world is shutting the Saudis, well Donald Trump brag about the Saudis and paying hundreds of millions of dollars during the campaign they liked. His quote: toys-
and here we have again a lot of business leaders and a lot of people Wall Street, making the calculation yesterday that Donald Trump was gone
make sure that they were going to pay
Ford to reopen business because his own properties and his own business was hurting. Someone
that's their Timor following breaking news. This sky news is reporting that the heir to the throne Prince Charles is testing positive for corona virus he's in isolation with Camilla Parker Balls, but she is testing negative. He is
playing mild symptoms, but they said
Otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home. But again, the Prince of Wales has tested positive
four corona virus, seventy one years old, so obviously real risk still.
Morning Joe. If the president won't invoke the defence production act, can Congress force in hand is and we're gonna
to the leader of a bipartisan efforts aimed at forcing the White House to get
medical supplies to their health,
workers who need them Congress
unless a slot can join the conversation plus one of this
as you will be voting today on that massive stimulus plan, democratic Christmas
they will be our guest, also Andrew Cuomo,
being called America's governor, we'll talk about his leadership on the
national stage plus former Senator Clare Mechanical. On the two trillion dollars stimulus deal. There were no public hearings or
no review. So what exists,
what is in store for the american people morning. Joe is coming right, back pay its creative this week on my part, ass wise is happening. All be talking with computational biologist Carl Bergs Drum, but what we do,
and don't know about the corona virus once these things get out there- and this is quite a sort of a key aspect of misinformation- and just information is the once they're out there- they will
take off and 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?
