Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, glad you're with us. Two hundred and thirty
one day, Scott Shannon, until we the people, they get
to be the ultimate jury. Eight hundred and ninety four one. Sean,
you want to be a part of this extravaganza, another
big press conference day. You know, one thing, I just
can't help thinking how many many things are going to
change dramatically as a result of how we have dealt

(00:24):
with this virus, this pandemic. There's been plenty of pandemics.
It's this is all game changing stuff. It's you know,
I think the biggest decision and well, we have doctor
Anthony Faucion and I will ask him how important that
early decision of the president to put in place this
travel ban was and is. And to me, it was

(00:48):
probably the one big decision that I we can't even
determine or calculate because it's in calcula vote. It's just estimates.
But common sense would tell you now, putting in place
as early as the president did not only bought us
a lot of time, it was just the right thing
to do, and the President took a lot of political
heat for it. He's enophobic. Joe Biden's had hysterical he's

(01:12):
fear mongering. Wow, I'm not going to go through the
h one n one comparisons. But yeah, they didn't act
so well. There never had a travel ban, and uh yeah,
six months later, oh then Biden Obama's an arsenal emergency.
And I will tell you there is something to be
said just as a side note here, and I'll get
back to what it is going to be important. This

(01:34):
is really important. I've not heard any Democrat. Actually, you
know who I'm gonna credit. You might be very very surprised.
I'm gonna credit Liberal Joe. Liberal Joe actually said he
hates Donald Trump. He just absolutely can't stand Donald Trump.
Pretty fair statement, right, Linda, she shaking her head. You
think I don't. Liberal Joe, to his credit, actually said,

(01:58):
you know what, we've all we've got to the president
succeed on this every way we can. All Right, you know,
I'll give Joe credit. The rest of the media is
still going nuts in a lot of ways, and just
when you think they might have a voice of reason,
they don't. But nobody wants to hear the comparisons. But
facts matter. And I will say this, the urgency that

(02:20):
we now see in this country, I hope we maintain
the urgency on some other issues because I can bet
you any amount of money the people are not going
to understand that the need for travel bands whenever a
pandemic pops up. We've got to move fast, and we
want to save American lives. President's actions saved American lives.

(02:42):
You don't hear the media mobs saying it. You don't
hear Democrats saying it. And they're not going to ever
say anything about Donald Trump that is complimentary of Donald
Trump because unfortunately that's who they are. I mean, but
the timeline is the timeline, and you can't get rid
of the timeline. And the first American that arrived with
coronavirus from the United States was from Wuhan Province in China.

(03:04):
I was January twenty first. Ten days later is when
the President declared the National Health Emergency and opposed the
travel ban and the quarantine, and Biden calling him hystericals, xenophobic,
and he's a fearmongerer, and even today is saying he
wouldn't have done it. I'm like, well, that's pretty dumb.
But I mean, if we had urgency, and these are

(03:27):
things that we've discussed at length over periods of time.
If we really cared about the health of Americans, you'd
think that Okay, even democrats and liberals and the mob
and the media, they could say that was a great decision. Wow,
he was ahead of the curve. Maybe now the arguments
people are not going to be just dismissed as racist
when they talk about controlling the borders, because you control

(03:48):
the borders. The way I've been talking about it is
very simple. The presidents that will be a nice, big door.
There's gonna be a big door. People can come in
the door, but we get to vet you to make
sure you're not tied to radical organizations that want to
harm Americans. You know, we've got to make sure that
you can financially take care of yourself. You can't come
here and be a burden on the American people. We

(04:08):
got a lot of money we're spending just on America
right now and rightly. So that's what we do, That's
who we are. We got to take care of our
fellow Americans. First workers that need the help. Linda, did
you notice when I tweeted out, you know some of
my friends in the restaurant business. You know, I can
only go to a few places and I said, hey there,

(04:29):
oh wow, great news, it's open for delivery. Now. I
got the crap beat out of me when I sent
that tweet out, and I'm like, yeah, I'm not apologizing
because I know these guys and I know they're going
to be struggling. I know they're going to be out
of work, and I want their businesses to hang in
there through this crisis, which, by the way, the Manucha
and the Treasury Secretary announced today. But you know, where

(04:51):
was the urgency when thousands I remember scrolling on TV
once thousands of people in Chicago being shot up every weekend,
thousands murdered. You know what did Where was the urgency there?
It never made sense to me. That's a national emergency.
Those are American kids, our American family dying in one

(05:13):
of our biggest cities. Nobody lifted a finger hardly and
they never still to this day, haven't fixed the problem.
You want to talk about, Oh, why we vet people
at the border, Well, we don't want you to have
radical associations. We want to make sure you can afford
for yourself. The means, you know, when you get here,
to take care of yourself. Now, also I think we've

(05:34):
got to look at the issue of oh, checking health
screening not to be mean, to be protective of the
health of the American people. Are we gonna Are we
gonna now hold the standard of life is important now?
And stop the violence in Chicago because I like to
do that. Are we gonna stop the opioid addiction in

(05:55):
this country? Because the best way to do that is
to build the border wall, because that's where of the
heroine and now Fenton Al crosses on the southern border.
Maybe that maybe we can now realize that's important because
it is. I remember it was a manufactured crisis according
to the medium mob and of course the Democratic Party.
How about the sanctuary cities and states that even release

(06:18):
violent felons to commit more crimes. Can we now admit
that's a really dumb idea? And I've interviewed those families. Yeah,
this so and so is in jail for kidnapping so
and so for a week and raping. Somebody gets out
and kills another person or kills a person when they
get out. Oh, we didn't see that coming. At what

(06:39):
point did they have blood on their hands for their
extreme policies? And that's just a fact, at some point
you're aiding and abetting lawbreaking. Unbelievable of Biden tried to
like thread a needle. Today his border completly vows to
deport felons while honoring sanctuary cities. Yeah, Joe, that's impossible,

(07:00):
But maybe you're confused. At the time, he couldn't remember
Obama's name. But I think let me go back to
my original point, which is that we're now these are
game changers that I think a whole new shift in
paradigm that will impact future generations, future pandemics, and maybe
even the flu. Maybe we should just continue elbowing and

(07:22):
forget the handshaking thing, because that's how you pass on colds,
That's how you pass on flus. Just a fact. It's
been a medical fact forever. Use a little more purell, etc.
You don't have to. I don't want you to live
in your life and fear. What are we saying every
day and night? Facts without fear. We're Americans. There's nothing
to fear but fear itself. And everybody that works everyone

(07:45):
else up into a fever, pitch, panic, and a hysteria.
They're not helping. So now the next thing is will
put in place the travel bands and the quarantines much faster.
And people know that doing the right thing, and they're
gonna say, yeah, Okay, call meny, racists, enophobic, all you want.
I'm protecting the health of the American people. The next

(08:07):
thing is this public private partnership. All these weeks, the
President's been meeting with leaders in industry and the business
community and pharmacies and pharmaceutical community and the Walmarts and
Walgreens and CBS's and right aids and quest diagnostics and
lab tech, and I'm going to forget some other people.
And all of a sudden, the announced last Friday they're

(08:29):
creating Tribe by testing sites game changing. Now they're talking
about teledoctors. Now we've talked about healthcare cooperatives and healthcare
savings accounts. You know something, What about practices that have
available doctors at two in the morning, three in the
morning that any American can call on call you'll get

(08:52):
an answer. Or cooperatives where somebody in your neighborhood. Okay,
I woke up my temperatures one hundred and three, my son,
my daughter's temperatures one hundred and two. What do I do?
My son? Is the croup. I used to get the
croup as a or or you know, my poor parents
stuck taking me there to the hospital. I remember standing up,

(09:13):
staying up late at night, holding the steam for hours
and having to go to work to next day. You
know what, if you could just call up the doctor,
doctor said, well, do you have anything you can steam
and put a steam shower, and that might be able
to do it and call me back in two hours
if it's still a problem, and maybe we'll have you
come in. That would be that's game changing. And now
we're setting that up. You don't if you have drive

(09:34):
up testing, you're not going to a hospital. You know,
the last place you want to be unless you're really
sick right now is a hospital. It's a Petrie dish
and and those are the things that we got to
think about. What I also liked about today is there
was a lot of talk about moving forward and moving forward.
For example, Okay, how quickly are we going to have

(09:57):
enough tests and the testing sites up and running and etc. Etc.
That was good. I liked the worst case scenario, and
we'll ask doctor Anthony Fauci about that. I don't know
if you know this. He served six presidents now probably
the defining face ultimately doing such great work on HIV

(10:17):
AIDS and at the end of the day, and the
fact that they've been able to break down the sequence
of Corona in three months when it took years to
do it for other viruses, that's a game changer. Things
are changing dramatically in all of healthcare. And we, of
course with the best medical researchers, professionals, doctors, lab technicians,
everybody throughout the whole system are amazed by the progress

(10:40):
we're making. But now we got to look forward. All right, well,
what about respirators? What about ventilators? Are those on order
that all got answered today? The testing, the number of
tests available that got answered today, and now building out
these you know, drive up and get tested only if
you need to. I heard you to what the government

(11:01):
is recommending there. That's smart. The other comprehensive items that's
been answered too, which is good. I was wondering in
my own mind, Okay, what if what if there's a
particular outbreak in one city or another? Do we have
enough tense medical tense medical supplies, ivs, gloves, masks, gowns, medicines, generators, heaters, fuel, blankets, pillows, food, water.

(11:25):
You know, there's an infrastructure we already have that would
be the Red Cross and groups like Samaritans pursed. Both
those groups were on the ground with truckloads of needed
staples and needed medicines and blankets and cots and food
and water within twelve hours of those tornadoes touching down
in Tennessee. They're amazing, amazing work that they do medical

(11:46):
triosge teams. That was answered today. I mean, if the
outbreak cluster emerges in a particular geographic overwhelming the hospital
system in that area, well we have enough medical swat
teams available, support staff see one thirties packed ready to
mobilize at a moment's notice, and with doctors and support
staff ready to see patients. How quickly can we get

(12:08):
it up and running? That was asked. That's all, that's
all being prepared now, just in case. Although the hope
is that we don't get to that point, you always
got to hope we don't get to that point at
the end of the day too. Remember, I hate these
people that don't put some perspective into this because it
panics people. I can see it, I feel it. Even
friends of mine, Linda you getting the same thing that

(12:29):
are really you know, normally tough, smart people. You know,
I'm like listening to them and I'm like, wow, are
you not? Yeah, I'm understanding me on the same thing.
And you know, it's it's really unfortunate because there's a
lot of information out there and I think if we
look at past experiences, you know, we'll get through this
like we've gotten through some none to get through it.
I mean, it just is a pain in the fear.

(12:51):
It's it's definitely facts without fear. That's what I'm doing,
and the reality is not impacting young people. This is
what we're really don't know why we're doing this fifteen
day thing to slow the spread of the virus mitigation
and to stop it because the people that are dying
are it tends to be elderly people overwhelmingly, so eighty

(13:16):
years is the average mortality from dying from this flu
that have underlying health conditions, compromised immune systems, people with
autoimmune disease, people that are getting chemotherapy and radiation, and
the fear is is that it gets worse. Most people
will have some people have no symptoms, some will have
mild symptoms, some will have a flu and they're all
going to recover. But if one of those people those

(13:39):
groups get this virus, they're likely going to die. That's
why we're doing it to protect death. And the President
said that today, to minimize the number of Americans that
will die here. Well, we can use this in the
future for the flu and for any other pandemic, God
forbid that comes down the line. Then unfortunately they do.
I wish they didn't. I wish we could cure cancer
and heart disease. As we roll along, Sean Hannity shows

(14:00):
Facts without Fear. I said on the TV last I'll
say it again, Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.
You know, all right, everybody, it's you gotta chill, You
gotta take it a little, you gotta take a deep breath,
and then you know what, this whole thing all hands
on deck. Why are we really doing it to prevent
innocent Americans from dying? That's why you do it? Do
I want to do it? I don't have to do

(14:21):
you can't mandate no. I would like to think everybody,
in their heart of hearts has a good heart. One
thing we said from the beginning, Linda, I think it
was like way way way early in this, Remember, I said,
it scares me. This is this fact that asymptomatic people,
no symptoms at all, have no idea they have it.

(14:44):
And the time that they were infectious. Well, and the
fact that it lived along and that it was airborne
those world that's remember from early days, I said, yeah,
that's why you take it seriously. Yeah, I mean, honestly,
from the beginning, we've been covering this with the experts
and the professionals in the medical field, and you have

(15:07):
you know, bar none been out there just getting information,
getting facts, you know, making comparisons to previous experiences with
our country. You know, that's what we need to do, people.
We need to look at past experiences, learn from it,
grow with it, and learn about this as we go,
do the best we can. Well said, I mean, we
want to keep Americans saying, all right, we'll give you
the list. Oh bye, Joe Biden is having a very

(15:28):
tough time. I'll explain when we come back. There will
be primaries and states today. Some have canceled, some have
not that and more straight ahead, all right, twenty five
till the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine
four one Sean if you want to be a part
of this extravaganza. Let me go through what the government
is now asking us to do. I guess it's fourteen days.
Yesterday was the first day. It is not complicated. It

(15:52):
is why do we do it because we don't want
other people, our fellow Americans to get sick. Those are
those with compromised immune systems. I know people in my
life right now that have gone through chemotherapy and radiation.
I don't the last people I'm gonna go see. I'm
gonna call them, I'll text them, I'll write them. If

(16:13):
they need anything, I'm there for them one hundred percent
whatever you need. But I'm not going to go buy
and and I just say it, you know. And by
the way, for those people that are kind of have
to stay away from, you know, give them a little
extra love and attention. And that's just the kind of
people that we are. The directions are simple. It's not fun.
It's not what we want you have. You know, if

(16:36):
you look at this, it's going to take on the
trajectory and we'll have more with Talctor Anthony Faucci. Later,
there's going to be with more testing, higher incidents, more hysteria, panic.
But again, if people follow these guidelines for fifteen days,
containment is going to be huge. Mitigation is even going
to be bigger. Or the lack of overwhelming the healthcare system, hospitals, etc.

(16:57):
It's going to go a long way to saving a
lot of people's lives. And it's simple, you know, state,
local authorities, they have to be involved. You know, I'm
watching Comrade de Blasio in New York and it's like
a battle breaking out. I'm heard. Oh, by the way,
the Pentagon says it will give five million respirators in
two thousand ventilators to the Health and Human Services for

(17:20):
virus response. And that's just the beginning. So that's a
pretty good battle. That is we're winning. Is a fight
in New York. Comrade de Blasio said that he is
strongly considering issuing a shelter in place order for all
New York City residents. We're absolutely considering that a shelter

(17:40):
in place order would mandate that all the city residents
stay in their homes or if you need food. Even
Italy kept the grocery stores open, and New told us
yesterday there was stock, you know, was stock to the top.
One side note for all of you panickers out there,
somebody's got to call in and explain to me. Just
a side note, as it spoke with all the big

(18:01):
grocery chains today, They're all in. They got it, They understand,
they are increasing their deliveries at a rapid pace. Thankfully
these We have amazing people in this country, amazing businessmen
and women, the free market at its best. So but
why does some of you what is it the first
thing you do? You go racing for the toilet paper
and the paper towels. That's not my priority. My priority, Linda,

(18:24):
Tell everybody, if you had to guess, what is my
number one item I go to the grocery store that
I'm gonna race for and grab as much as I can.
What is it going to be? So you guess, well, salt? Yeah,
but I gotta I gotta like so salts number one. Oh,
I have enough, So I wouldn't be the first that
I would. What would be the one food item I grab? Steak?
See how smart you are? Steak? No cauliflower pizza, chicken

(18:48):
noodle soup. We'll kind of chicken noodle soup. Gambles and
it can chicken noodle soup. Correct or lipted, I like
the Lipton You do not like Lipton? No, you don't.
I do. My sister tell you. My sister calls it peawater.
She's like, she can't understand because your sister is correct.
It's gross. Okay, you're all driving me nuts. Why are
you all driving me? Welcome? Wait till we're all together

(19:11):
in one spot, all right. So I don't know what
the Plazio's talking about. The shelter in place order would
mandate all city residents to stay at homes. What if
they don't have enough food, mister mayor anyway, Governor Cuomo,
to his credit, dismissed that possibility that they would be
asked to be quarantined after the mayor said this that
we're absolutely considering it. We hear New York City is
going to quarantine itself. That is not true. That cannot happen.

(19:35):
Thank you, Governor Cuomo. And I can't believe those words
just came flying out of my mouth. Thank you, Governor Cuomo.
He's actually been, you know, accept with a little tit
for tat with Trump, which by the way, he even
acknowledged the President is doing a great job and helping
New York and helping, just as Gavin Newsom did, which is,

(19:55):
you know, kind of the way it kind of should go.
We've taken the steps reducing a number of people circulating around,
We're gonna look at all other options, etc. It could
get to that for a whole for the whole country. Okay,
Mary de Blasio, I've actually met you now twice. I
actually get along with a guy, and in a weird way.
We don't agree on anything. We're never going to agree

(20:16):
on anything. But what I liked about he's just he
just cracks me up because he really believes his crap.
I mean, I'm like, you're destroying I said to him
the last time he was in the studio. You're destroying.
You are destroying the real estate market in New York
City with your extra sales mansion taxes. You know, like,
what are you doing nothing? Selling anymore? Prices are plummeting. No,

(20:40):
it's you know, just selling less. I'm like, yeah, you're
not helping. Hey, yeah, yeah, it's hard. It's very hard.
All right. So here's what it is. If your children
are sick, keep him at home, don't send them to school,
contact your medical provider. You know, one thing you might
just want to get on the phone with your doctor. Look,
I have this only because of my life. I'm blessed

(21:01):
to have a number of friends that are doctors. All right,
So if I call them at three in the morning,
they're gonna take my call. But a lot, I know
a lot of people don't have that. It just worked
out in my life that way that some of my
best friends in life are doctors, and I know they'll
take my call at three am, and they probably they
have on occasions. Good people. But this should be a

(21:21):
new paradigm moving forward. I think every practice, any decent
sized practice, needs to have, you know, medical consulting over
the phone. It's way. Here's my daughter here, take a
look at her. What do you think. Here's a temperature right,
what do you think? Here's this? I took this. Okay,
go to the drug store, get this, this, and this.
I'll phone it in pre you done. Why not? Anyway,

(21:43):
if you feel sick yourself, stay home, don't go to work.
Help is being provided. Financial assistance is going to be
astronomical the end of this. It's going to be like
a trillion dollars. That's what it's going to be. And
as the President and Manuchan and the vice president today,
they all said, yeah, we gotta go. We're gonna save
lives here, but we're also creating new paradigms moving forward.

(22:04):
I just want to make sure that moneys aren't wasted. Sorry,
got to think about it. And of course, cruise lines, airlines,
hourly workers. Somebody told me that even some cities are
like shutting down construction. All right, you know, let them
wear gloves. They're supposed to wear gloves anyway. Now, if
someone and respirators, if someone in your household has tested positive,

(22:27):
keep your entire household home, don't go to work, don't
go to school, contact your medical provider. If you're an
older person, older people, we love you, Grandma, grandpa, listen
to your friend Sean Hannity, Stay home, stay away from
older people. Mom and dad, older moms and dad, same thing.
Stay home. And if there's any chance you have the virus,
don't go see grandma and grandpa. Call them, and if

(22:50):
you need to pick up groceries for them and supplies
for them, go do it. Let's be a good son
or a good daughter. Anyway, if you're a person with
a serious underlying condition, you are most at risk. A
compromised immune system, long heart function problems, all the ones
I mentioned. Yet, stay home, stay away from other people.
If you're young, otherwise healthy, you're at risk. Your activities

(23:12):
can increase the risk for others. That's the main part
of this. There's going to be the overwhelming vast majority
that might have or will contract this virus that are
gonna have no symptoms. Now that's not true. There'll be
some that have no symptoms. There'll be many that have
mild symptoms. There'll be some that have well, a bronchial

(23:35):
outbreak of a flu the equivalent of a flu. Tens
of thousands of people in this country that every year
from the flu. So the key is you don't want
to get near those that are compromised otherwise, you know,
and going forward, and you know, we could use this
for flu seasons that actually came up. I forgot the
woman's name was spoke about this. Yeah, well, we now

(23:55):
can maybe save more lives from the flu every year
if we would start doing other things. But you gotta
live too. At some point, it's a balance avoiding social
gatherings of more than ten people. Well, that's it, you
go home. You I'm pointing at No, we have less
than ten people here. Uh. If you work in critical
infrastructure industry defined by the Department of Homeland Security, healthcare services, pharmaceutical,

(24:19):
food supply, you have special responsibility maintain a normal work
schedule and of course, following CDC guidelines, avoid drinking in bars.
Restaurants use pick up drive through delivery options. I said
this on Twitter on Sunday night. Oh my, one of
my favorite restaurants Chris and Tony's and I and La
Pazzetta and Rothman's and Del Frisco's. I'd go to like

(24:42):
very limited places. Oh, they're now offering delivery service. Oh man,
I was Did you see how I was berated on
Twitter for that. I'm like what, I'm like, you gotta
I understand you. Actually, you know these people have to
feed exactly what they was everyone to do. These are

(25:02):
my friends. I've been I only I go to the
same places. I consider them family. I'm like, I want
them to work and if they needed help, I'll be
there for them. Good hygiene practice, don't visit nursing homes,
retirement long character. You know what if my grandma grandpa
an iPhone, they don't have one, spend the money, I

(25:23):
am an iPhone, and then you can face time with them.
Then they can see their granddaughter or their grandson, do
stuff like that. So that's what they're asking everybody to do.
So I want to get this information out so and
they're very clear on it that this is going to
go a long way. They've been very clear. The biggest
decision made in this whole process was the travel van.
The quarantine. Next big decision keeping people out of hospitals

(25:46):
with drive up testing when needed. Not everybody needs to
be tested. I'm not going to get a test unless
I have symptoms. I don't have any symptoms. I'm not
getting a test. The guidelines are very clear. They're not
that difficult. I'll tell you this. I love the President
battling back against the Chinese today for spreading the lie

(26:06):
that our army services and well, mister President, do you
feel bad that you say it? It's the Chinese Wuhan province.
It is. There are still pandemics from Germany that mentioned
specific areas you know. Asked about his phrase of the
Chinese virus, critics say using that phrase creates a stigma. No,
I don't think so, the President said. I said, I

(26:28):
think saying our military gave it to them creates a
stigma unbelievable. Look, there's still irresponsible people all over the
mob and the media and in Congress. You're never gonna
get rid of them. They are who they are. A
little surprised that Joy red Fox News has been getting
people killed for years. I'm like, all right, Joy, calmed down,

(26:51):
what are you talking about? You know, and let's see
a bit later. A guest accused Fox News Fox News
of trying to vilify stir hatred and paranoia. No, that
would have been quid pro quo Joe. If you remember,
he was the one that said about the president he
was xenophobic, hysterical and fearmongering. And he still stands by it,

(27:12):
which means this guy's living in the dark ages. In
terms of dealing with pandemics, the idea is to come
out of this with a knowledge that we can stop
death and sickness down the line by acting more quickly
and boldly like the President did, and we're doing it.
The economy is going to suck for a while, and
I do agree with the President's going to come roaring back,
and unfortunately and fortunately, where are America. You know, we

(27:37):
rebuilt all of Europe after World War Two. We have
Marshall Plan, We have all these you know, efforts to
help other countries. Now we're going to rebuild America, and
American workers are going to get the moneys they need
to keep their businesses running, keep their mortgages, keep their cars,
delays and tax payments if you need it, etc. You
getting a refund file on the fifteenth, get your money

(27:58):
back sooner than later. But you know, for people to
go out there on NBC News that Fox News is
getting people killed for years. They are a cancer on
this country. I guess they want us dead. Sounds like
that for me, and you know, I don't even know
what to say. It's so stupid. He had one fake
news report that Trump is responsible for the surge and

(28:22):
toilet paper buying, when you know things as serious. The
President's feeding a lot of bs. What are you gonna do,
go buy toilet paper? It's Trump's fault. Then ABC NewsBusters
got ABC. You know, Oh, he's only concerned about the
stock numbers. The President said the words today, best thing
we can do for this country's save lives. This is
all about saving lives. And then our economies are strong.

(28:45):
Our economy is strong. Paul Krugman, A guy always said
that's the stock market is not the economy, which it
isn't it is, however, pretty much the Trump presidency. I'm like, wow,
it's like Bill Maher. I mean, he's the guy that's
now twenty five thousand exclamation. Reuters had to edit a
debunk story claiming Trump sought a monopoly of the vaccine,

(29:09):
the Corona vaccine. Not true. How much fake news out there?
From fake news New York Times, they've been the worst.
They won Trump virus. If you're feeling awful, blame trump edits.
Trump's advice to governors on medical ventilators unbelievable. Got another
MSDNC psychopath or rating Trump or handshakes and microphone touches. Okay,

(29:32):
you know what, I guarantee all of you are going
to shake somebody's hand at some point and say, oh,
I forgot, I'm not supposed to do that anyway. You
notice everybody except Fox News NewsBusters picked up on this
skip the president's call for a national Day of prayer.
Another fake news CNN idiot. You know Trump is emulating

(29:53):
the propaganda of North Korea. And forget the view I mean,
I just, I mean, what are you do you say
about the hard hitting news show over at the View?
Pretty unbelievable. Then you have never Trump or David from
got owned by himself pushing his smear against Trump. Whoopsie
Daisy fed up writer and Maxie Water just shut the

(30:16):
hell up. That's very helpful in a time of crisis.
They are who they are. It speaks about them. It's
not who we are as American people. And I want
to have this discussion xenophobic, hysterical, fear mongering. Oh, the
answer is Medicare for all. I don't think so. The
answer is more Obamacare. No, that didn't work out either,

(30:40):
and the timeline is amazing. But you know what, keep
your family safe. Let's look out for your grandparents, your parents,
those that are really at risk. All right, we have
coming up doctor Anthony Fauci, Senator Ran Paul and your
calls all straight ahead. Well the latest on this. We
have a primary day going on. Bolshevik Bernie even saying
that it has no plans to drop out if he loses.

(31:02):
We'll give you an update. I mean, Biden is losing it.
I couldn't even remember Obama's name. Then he does this
virtual town hall that became the biggest cluster ever and
a fact check of Biden. Yeah, he's sewing fear and
spreading misinformation about Corona. All of the details coming up
two hundred and thirty one days. Thank you, Scott Shannon

(31:22):
eight hundred and nine four one. Sean, you want to
be a part of this extravaganza. I think we're gonna
look back at all this Corona, the way this pandemic
is dealt, been dealt with, versus the way in past
years we've been dealt dealing with things. And I think
they're gonna be three new paradigms that result that are

(31:43):
all good for we the American people and keeping people
healthy and secure, etc. Etc. And well, and they're well
being number one. Well, I'm not expecting many people to
be so quick to say you're xenophobic, hysterical and fearmongering.
The day that the President of the United States announced
the travel ban and the quarantine, and he did it

(32:05):
in record time. Timeline is what the timeline is. They
first identified Corona on January seventh, They first the World
Health Organization didn't realize there was anything until December thirtieth
last year in the Wuhan Province area of China and
with pneumonia like symptoms of virus emerging. And they then

(32:27):
the first person with Corona arriving in the US from
China had where he'd been in Wuhan Province. That was
January twenty first, ten days later. Just a side note,
what was Chucky Schumer and the Democrats doing, they would
send it was holding their vote on whether it allow
further witnesses and documents in the impeachment trail, and Joe

(32:47):
Biden was calling the president's decision historical scenephobia and fearmongering. Well,
I don't think in retrospect, was probably the single best thing,
best decision at the time. Countless thousands of Americans otherwise
would have contracted this virus. It would have been exponentially

(33:07):
worse for this country. And we can't calculate how many
lives will be said, but moving forward, and this will
even help with the flu every year, where tens of
thousands of Americans die every year, and that means, okay,
maybe we'll be elbowing each other instead of shaking hands.
Who knows. But Number one, I think travel bans will

(33:28):
be very quickly implemented. In the future because this case
it was important, it was critical. I think this whole
public private partnership drive up testing for those that need it,
you know, using the biggest box store companies in the
country and the pharmaceutical companies and everybody all hands on deck,

(33:48):
which is great because then you're not going to the hospital,
which to me a little Petrie dishes, and it leaves
hospital space for those that really are ill. And this
whole idea of you know, teledoctors where you can get
on a phone and you can do a FaceTime or
a skype with your doctor and maybe prevent you know,
thirty five forty percent of people from actually having to

(34:08):
go to the doctor's office. Okay, what are your symptoms.
Let me see. What's your daughter's temperature? Let me see. Okay,
you got the croup. Let me see create a steam shower.
Call me back in an hour, let's see where we are,
and you can do it all night. That could be
a future of healthcare, along with health care cooperatives and
health savings accounts. Anyway, Senator Ram Paula's with us a

(34:28):
couple of things he suggested announced earlier today. I think
you were the first I heard that announced that, hey,
we ought to give Americans the ability to expand out
the tax deadline. That happened today in the press conference.
Good for you, although I would urge Americans that are
getting refunds fil it yesterday. How are you center quite good? John?

(34:51):
Now you're a doctor. How long you've been a doctor?
Medic so okay? So you know a lot about medicine.
How figgured? How big was the issue in your mind
of the travel ban and the quarantine and the drive
up testing public private partnership and this idea of being

(35:11):
able to have healthcare cooperatives that have twenty four service
concierge service available for anybody to call in any hour
of the day and talk to a real doctor or
a healthcare professional. You know. I think everybody's been talking
about flattening the curve, not getting too many people sick
all at once and overwhelming the healthcare. The best way
not to overwhelm it is to slow down the flow

(35:33):
of people who are infected. So early on reducing the
flow of people from China. We still did get a
few people here from China, but we didn't get thousands
of people. We got a few, and they've lit up
some hotspots. Washington was from somebody who traveled here from Wuhan, China,
So it's not perfect, but I think it's slowed down
the amount of people who are infected. Now we have
to continue to try to slow down the spread so

(35:56):
we don't overwhelm our system. But all that being said,
I think people have to look at some of the
bright spots. It's really slowed down to a trickle in China,
it's slowed down to a trickle in South Korea, and
that's going to take a period of time. But I
think there's a very good chance of within two to
four weeks we are going to peak and in the

(36:16):
next two to four weeks will begin to get better,
and then it may be something that within two to
three months that this was a terrible thing that we
went through, but this is not, I think, a year
long kind of thing. I'm very, very hopeful, and I
think there is some evidence that this will be a
couple of months and we will begin to recover very
quickly after that. So that's kind of my feeling on this.

(36:38):
After like you, I've been looking at the numbers in
China and South Korea and Japan, and now we're watching.
I guess they're at their peak in Italy and Spain
and other parts of Europe and the European travel Band,
the Iranian travel Band. But I assume we're going to see,
because of more testing, a dramatic increase in people that

(36:58):
have no symptoms, even that have contracted the disease. That
was the first thing that I noticed, and from the
earliest day I was saying, Oh, this bothers me because
there are people walking around that have contracted the virus.
It's heavily contagious. They don't have no idea they even
have this virus, and that was a concern from day one. Really,
the reason that we're doing this fifteen day period to

(37:21):
slow the spread is because those that are most vulnerable,
there are people they have underlying medical conditions, compromised immune systems,
that will die from this if we don't prevent the spread. Yeah. No,
I agree, and I think we should do all of
those things. I just hope people will also put this
into a little bit of perspective. There was a great
article in the Wall Street Journal, I believe it was yesterday,

(37:42):
talking about how we're sort of the first generation or
two not to live with massive infectious disease, epidemics and pandemics,
and so this is why it's so startling us. But
our parents lived in the nineteen fifties. Every year they
worried about winter, they worried about polio coming for about
a twenty year period in the middle of the nineteenth century.
We worried about smallpox. Before that, we worried about measles

(38:04):
before that. We've lived in a very benign time in
the sense that with vaccines and antibiotics we do very
well and have for a long time. And so that's
why this is so unusual. But we will overcome this.
There are a bunch of great anti viral drugs that
were developed for AIDS that are being used now. There's
anti malarity. It took years to literally break down the

(38:28):
sequence of the AIDS virus. Now they did it in
three months with Corona. That's that's a record by a
long shot. People need to have more confidence in our
country and in modern medicine and know that this is
still going to be bad and many people are going
to die. But many people do die every year from
infectious disease. And I'm not saying we shouldn't respond. We should,
but at the same time, we need to be confident

(38:49):
that we are going to overcome this as a country,
as a people, the world will continue on. One of
the good news of this, if there's anything good news,
is young people, which are the future of our country,
are going to survive this. Ninety nine point nine nine
percent of young people going to survive. And that's a
good thing. And we're going to do the best we
can for the rest of the old folks like you

(39:10):
and I. But we're gonna make it for yourself. There, centators, Yeah,
he's back down. Now come. You know what do you
think you're a talk show host? Let me let me
ask you this. That was a great call on your
part for the delay in terms of the IRS and
filing and businesses. You know, I thought there are a
lot of the announcements, a lot of things they said
today economically, what they're going to do to help businesses

(39:33):
that are directly impacted through no fault of their own.
I liked a lot of those ideas small businesses in particular,
and short term loans and interest rates are lower than
they've ever been. But I am concerned about some other
you know. Of course, Congress lards it up with every
pork barrel project you can conceive of a right. Well,
I think we shouldn't become Bernie Sanders or Andy Yang

(39:56):
because we all of a sudden have a virus. We
shouldn't throw out all of our leaves and all of
a sudden say hey, let's just write everybody a check.
So I don't really like the administration writing checks. There's
another way to go about this. We have a safety
net in place. It's called unemployment insurance. And I just
came from a meeting where half a dozen of the
Conservatives got up and told Manuchin, just writing everybody a

(40:17):
check is not the best way to do it. Let's
expand unemployment insurance to cover people who are temporarily laid
off or furloughed because of the virus. Let's cut down
the waiting comps. You don't have to wait several weeks
or months to get unemployment insurance. And let's pay for
it that way, and that way it goes directly to
the people who are severely affected. And we're not like

(40:37):
just sending every random Joe a check in the mail.
The reason people are not spending money is because we
told them to stay inside. They're doing what we've told
them to do, and they're not spending money. But if
I give you a pile of money, you're going to
sit right next to your other pile of money you
have because you're not going out at night. And so
I don't think that necessarily fixes a problem. What we
have to do is pull together as a country and

(40:57):
understand that we're talking about a month or two of
altered tribal schedules and some business is very much suffering,
airlines and restaurant cruise industry, the restaurant industry. Yeah, I mean,
and by the way, I want we listen, we rebuilt Europe.
We're going to help Americans out first, we ought to,

(41:18):
and we have the means, but I want to make
sure the way we do it, and this is going
to be more in your department. The mind is setting
the foundations for the quick recovery that we're going to
have as soon as we're past this, hopefully sooner than later. Well,
the best of things not to overreact, So we shouldn't
fund something that's going to be a year's worth of stimulus.
Do you remember when we were all sort of against
the Obama stimulus. We shouldn't immediately say Oh, now we're

(41:41):
for a stimulus because it's a virus, and virus makes
everything different. No, we should take what is necessary for
a month or two. So if we need to expand
unemployment insurance for those who are hurt by this, by
all means, let's do it. We can come up with
the money to do it. We can send that money
to the States. But we should use that program because
it targets people who are unemployed or who are furloughed

(42:02):
because of the virus. Let's don't just say, oh, money
comes from heaven and we're just gonna have a helicopter
flyer of your house and dump money on your house
and that's going to help the economy. We never have
believed that that was good economics, So why in the
world would we accept that? Now your thoughts. I know
you guys have been discussing FISA. I saw a tweet
of your colleague Mike Lee. I listen. I believe we

(42:25):
need foreign surveillance. I do. It's an ugly, evil world
with a lot of bad actors in it, including Putin.
Want to bring Putino his knees outproduce some energy wise
and stay energy independent, just as side thought. But I'm
not gonna we can't support something that is going to
ever allow what happened to Carter Page, despying on a president,
the premeditative fraud on a FISA court with a document

(42:48):
of lies bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton that
can't happen again, or the powerful tools of intelligence turned
on the American people. That's the litmus test. If the
reform allows what happened into Carter Page and the Trump
campaign to happen again, then it's not real reform. I've
read the reforms, I've looked at the reforms, and frankly,
these reforms will not stop this from happening again. I

(43:10):
have an amendment that would fix all of this. My
amendment says, guess what, you can spy on all the
foreigners you want with a foreign intelligence corps, as you
can't spy on Americans. And people say, well what about
Americans who are engaged with a foreign power. Well that's
what they accuse carter Page of. If you want to
spin one quarter Page and you think he really is
a Russian agent, you go to an Article three court,
this is a constitutional court, notify as a court, and

(43:33):
you get a wire tap. We get them all of
the time. In fact, there's some who argue that even
these warrants are pretty easy to get for criminal purposes.
That's the kind of warrant you should get, and if
there's proof, you should get it. But we shouldn't use
a secret court where you get no attorney to go
after a political campaign. Barr never wanted any of this,
and so the problem is is that Bar's really not

(43:54):
on the president side, nor is he doing the president
of service here. Bar is trying to defend Lee saying
that they seem to be making progress. Then, well, Michael
and are on the same page here. Mike Lee and
I we did force them to take a short extension,
but they had to promise us to have amendments. So
Mike Lee, it will get an amendment. I will get

(44:14):
an amendment. And several others were because we did force
the issue, because we told him they didn't fix it.
So when Mike Lee says there's progress, he's exactly right.
He and our allies on this. The progress is we've
delayed it now for two months, but they've written into
the agreement that we are going to get amendments. They
were trying to shove it down our throat with no amendments.
We actually did win a big victory this week in

(44:37):
that they've put in writing that we will get amendments.
All right, we appreciate what you're doing on that. It's
important we can't have that happen again. Senator around Paul,
Doctor Paul, thank you, eight hundred and ninety four one
Sean Tolfrey telephone number. You want to be a part
of the program, we'll take some of your calls. Next
half hour, we'll update you on the election. Quid pro quote,
Joe's in the disastrous precipitous meltdown. Day after day, it's

(44:59):
gotten worse. Doesn't even remember Obama's name. And his virtual
town hall was a virtual disaster. Joe Biden, well, let's
just say struggling. We showed this video on Hannity last night.
Quit pro quote Joe, doctor, doctor Joe Biden. And I mean,
he still would not accept that we need something as

(45:23):
simple as a travel band. He just doesn't get it,
all right, it makes no sense. But then everything he
mentions the president has already done, same with doctor Bolshevik Berney.
But then he does this virtual town hall, and I'm
looking at this thing and he can't. It's a disaster.
It was up hours later than it was scheduled to

(45:45):
be at And then Joe forgot first he says, n
one whatever else he's saying on there, all this crazy
babbling that he does and whatever. And then you're supposed
to when you're doing a podcast of video podcast, you're
supposed to look into the camera. Well, he has his
cell phone. He's looking down at his cell phone. I

(46:05):
guess for notes. I have no idea. And then he
forgets that he's actually on camera, turns for the longest
period of time, walks away from the camera, off the shot,
and they have to put Illinois from buying up to
cover for this guy. I mean, it was a disaster
in every way. And now he can't remember the president

(46:27):
that he was vice president for his name, you know,
sort of like when he said we hold these Chris
to be his self evident, that all men women are
created by the thing, you know, the thing, the guy
whatever his name is, that guy oh Man, and Bolshevicberney
says he has no plans a dropping out if it's
a bad night for him tonight. You know, there's two

(46:47):
ways the American people get inspired. One way get they
get inspires by great leaders who are you know, called
or supped or better angels, from Abraham Lincoln to all
the way you know too F D R to to
John Kennedy, brid Et Crock. But there's another way we

(47:07):
can do that. We did that. We've been through this
before with the coronavirus. We've been through this before. I'm excooming.
We've been through this before with dealing with the viruses
at the N one h one five as well as
what happened in Africa. We all these truth to be
self evenue, oh men and women creative by go you
know the you know the thing, you know the thing,

(47:30):
the John Kennedy and Ekland, then Abraham Lincoln and the
better angels. And you know we've been through this before
with Corona and N one h one eight. I'm sorry,
can't help that unbelievable eight hundred and ninety four one
Sean Tolfrey telephone number. By the way, quid pro quote.
Joe got called out a little bit one of the

(47:51):
little fact check political political politic fact is what it's
called uh when he reported the who never for to
sell test kits to the US and multiple public health
experts said that is not unusual for the US to
develop its own test and he lifted the language from

(48:11):
a false Facebook meme claiming that Trump and the Trump
administration rejected World Health Organization's Corona virus testing kits. And
by the way, this isn't the first time Biden's misinformation
campaign has been called out by fact checkers because he
got it wrong again because PolitiFact said that was false.

(48:33):
What he said, Yeah, that's not true. Let's see, Biden
falsely claimed the Trump administration cut funding for the NIH
and CDC. Yeah, the AP called him out for that.
Biden also received four pinocchios for deceptively editing a video
pushing the debunk claim that the president called the coronavirus
a hoax. Yeah, that was another lie by the mob

(48:56):
too in the media. And while the President is demonstrating
a lot of leadership here, what do we have with
quid and pro and quo and Joe Nothing but lies?
And still, you know, still adhering to open borders. Now
he says, but I'm for sanctuary cities and states, but
I'm not for the criminals in them. Okay, that's the

(49:17):
whole point. What are you gonna do that does not
allow those states or those cities to do what otherwise
needs to be done. And he's still for open borders,
still for free healthcare for illegal immigrants in this country.
I mean, and he's still bragging about the fact that
he wouldn't put a travel ban at xenophobic it's hysteria. No,

(49:38):
it's not hysteria, it's what it's not fearmongering either, which
he said. Anyway, We're now two hundred and thirty one
days away from an election, and there's quid and pro
and quote Joe, and he's sending out fundraising letters click here.
Trump isn't handling Corona well. Looks like the spirit of
national unity in the face of Corona's reached as it

(50:00):
reached the certain corners of fundraising in the Democratic Party,
because a Democratic superpack said today that they would spend
five million dollars on digital advertising attacking President Trump for
his response to the coronavirus. One of several groups to
plan to devote resources to this type of messaging campaign

(50:21):
from this it's called a Political Action Committee Pacronym, affiliated
with a nonprofit group. Acronym represents the first major pivot
to coronavirus related advertising. I'll take that fight. They want
to get into how they handled I'll use Joe's words
in the O'biden Bomba administration. That's what he says, quid

(50:47):
pro quote Joe, doctor Joe, I'll take the fight over. Okay,
how did they handle They didn't have a travel band
that in ten days after the first America first person
in America got identified as having coronavirus one person ten
days later, travel ban that one decision. I am telling
you it would be exponentially, dramatically worse. Let's have that

(51:11):
battle now. The if you go back to H one
N one oh that was first discovered in April of
two thousand and nine, that's the old Biden Bamba administration.
To quote Joe, and I will say this, the Health
and Human Services Secretary called it an emergency and got
some funding at that point eleven days later. Good for them,

(51:33):
that was a good decision. But then it was a
pandemic by June, and it wasn't until October with a
thousand dead Americans and tens of thousands of Americans contracting.
Well Joe's words, N one h one really H one
N one that they called it a national emergency. I

(51:54):
mean a little late from my perspective. And by the
time the one year mark came on, twelve thousand four
or sixty nine Americans were dead and hundreds of thousands
of Americans, yeah, they had were hospitalized, and we had
sixty point eight million Americans. I got eight well, sorry,
n one h one according to Joe. So now we

(52:16):
got fundraising by Joe's campaign and by Democratic Superpex. Great.
Now we do have a bunch of primaries going on
today and Bolshevic Berney is not gonna let quid pro
quo Joe off the hook. Sanders path out of the
Democratic nomination is closing, but he's not getting out at

(52:36):
least he's saying that now anyway, from the debate posture
of staff, he moves to virtual rallies. He can be
in the Monday night, he said, he's not ready to
concede in any way. And we'll see, we expect a
lot of well, we'll probably know a lot more about
the end of the night. It's going to be Joe
Biden's night again. Now here's another issue that came up
nobody's paying attention to. No more, no new Fracking said

(53:02):
that during the presidential debate it was a great article,
by the way, by Jonathan Turley. Nobody had picked up
on this in this debate at fake news CNN on
Sunday night. And this is really important because as now
the president. Remember, in the middle of all of this,
because timelines matter in this what were the Democrats were?
They were out there hurting the President's ability to do anything.

(53:28):
They weren't talking about Corona. They were, you know, saying
that the travel ban is wrong in a xenophobic and
fearmongering and hystorical president was in the middle of all
of that. President ten days later, what were the Democrats
doing at this time? Oh, I'm glad you asked that question,
because that's a very interesting question. Now, the House Speaker

(53:48):
Nancy Pelosi holds a boat to send the articles of
impeachment over to the Senate. That was January fifteenth. January
twenty first, the first person with Corona arrives in the
United States from China. Great timeline by Joel Pollock. I'd
to give him props, smart guy. January twenty third. What
are the Democrats doing? House impeachment managers making their opening arguments?

(54:11):
January twenty third, China closes off the city of Wuhan
that province completely to slow the spread of Corona for
the rest of China. January thirtieth, what are our senators doing?
They begin two days of questions on both sides of
the presidents of peachment trial World Health Organization. The same day,
while they're doing that, in the Senate declares a global
health emergency as this thing is spreading now. January thirty first,

(54:35):
the Senate holds a vote on whether it will allow
further witnesses and documents in their impeachment hoax. That same day,
President Trump declared a national health emergency imposed at the
travel band that Biden calls hysterical, xenophobic, and fearmongering. And
we have February second, first debt the coronavirus outside of
China and the Philippines. What are the Democrats doing? On

(54:57):
the third of February, their House impeachment managers begin their
closing arguments, calling Trump a threat to national security? What
are you doing on Corona? Nothing? February fourth, the President
talks about Corona and his State of the Union address.
The very same State of the Union address Nancy Pelosi
is preparing to rip up and a pre planned temper

(55:18):
tantrum to the country and February fifth, the Senate votes
to quit the president. And February fifth, House Democrats, Oh,
they finally took up a coronavirus, the coronavirus issue in
the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia. Finally, So for
twenty days from the day the first death from Corona

(55:39):
was known, they did nothing, not a thing. Too busy
with the president's impeachment by the way, a trial delayed
by Pelosi because they needed to go urgently on vacation,
and then of course calling the president all sorts of names.
I mean, that's I'll take that. I'll also take the
battle over the Bidenbama economy. I'll take the battle of

(56:03):
a who has the strength, the stamina, the mental alertness,
acuity and acumen to do the job. I'll take that debate.
I'll take the debate over the economy. He'll take the
debate on the foreign policy failures of you know, trying
to trying to get dictators that's chant death to America
to like us and dropping one hundred and fifty billion
cash another currency on the tarmac in Tehran, thirteen million

(56:28):
more Americans food stamps, eight million more in poverty, lowest
labor participation rates since the seventies. Is it unknown as
to the impact on the election in two hundred and
thirty one days. Yeah, I think so. I think it's
it's certainly thrown a wrench in the works, but I
think the American people see what's going on, and I
think the American people are not going to fault President

(56:52):
Trump for a virus that becomes a bigger pandemic than
anybody was able to foresee in the you know, from
the get go. Anyway, let's go to our busy, busy
telephones here. Let's say hi to Jason Is in Maine. Jason,
how are you glad you called? Sir? Good as yourself?
I'm good. What's going on? Yeah, well, I drive truck

(57:14):
and I talk to you last Friday, and I just
wanted to give an update. Pennsylvania had shut down the
rest areas, which means there's already an overflow with US
shuckers trying to find places to pock at night to
get our rest right. So when they shut down, when
they shut down the restaurants like the tas, they usually
have a Country Pride restaurant in them, that means we
can no longer get a hot meal. We can't just

(57:36):
pull off the interstate and pull up to a McDonald's
drive through window with an eighteen wheeler. So but hang on,
I've been on the road a lot in my life.
You can park in the parking lot. They usually, especially
on the big highways, they have truck stops where you
can park and walk into a McDonald's right or walk
around to the drive through. They won't Most drive throughs
won't allow you to walk up to the window, and

(57:57):
most parking areas are being restricted. Now we're heavy restricted.
But they gotta let you guys eat, So that's gotta
be resolved. You guys gotta eat. And they might even
want to extend one of the restrictions of hours you're
allowed to drive, because it's been pretty draconian over the years.
It's eleven. It's fourteen hour day, eleven hours of drive time,
three hours of on duty and right now, unless you're

(58:19):
under an emergency load, which would indicate if you're bringing
a load from a warehouse of water or such pull
of paper to a distribution center, you can be exempt
from that. But once you get to that destination, if
you don't have enough hours to get there, you are
not allowed to advance from there on you have to
go to a seafehaven. But by then that time, all
the truck stops are filled up. So with Pennsylvania's shutting

(58:40):
the arrest areas down, so we can't even packing them,
it's gonna put trucks more. That makes no sense to
me because if most truckers, I know, they park in
them and they've got their bed in the back and
they're bunk in the back, and they usually sleep in
the bunk. It's not like they're getting out of the
truck and they're going into a motel room. So's and
that's the thing right there. I have a double bound
and I got my own meals. But when it comes

(59:02):
to using the bathroom, you know, you're you're, you know
you're you're making it so it's more restricted to rooms.
We can't be readily be able to use the bathroom. No,
I think, listen, you're raising a good point, and your
jobs are going to be disrupted too. I mean, look
at the supplies to go to restaurants, although I know
they're increasing supplies to grocery chains because the President spoke
to all the big chain CEOs just this week, and

(59:25):
they're going to keep the shelves full across the country
and they assure the president of that. But like for example,
if you deliver fresh foods or produce, or if you
deliver fish or meat, I mean, I would imagine that
is two restaurants in particularly, that's going to slow down
that aspect of your business. But they've got to make
those accommodations. I would assume that people are going to

(59:47):
figure it out very quickly that the trucker's got to
a have a place to park, b have a place
to go to the bathroom, and see be able to
walk up to a McDonald's window if you're hungry and
you need to get something eat exactly. And my son
does the local deliveries in the state of Maine and
I so that will impact the sales of regular bars
and restaurants. The beer and wine distribution will slow down,

(01:00:09):
but your regular store retails unless they ban store. You're
going to a store to get your necessities then because
he still has a job, but think got of him
in trucking. Then that can haul water and toll paper
and all the necessities. But it's just my Mancusin was
where you have more of a voice than I do
to try to figure out what are they going They're
never talking about the truck industries. They talk about getting
freed out, but they don't talk about how they're going

(01:00:29):
to accommodate us. Listen, you're listen. There's a certain newness
to all of this. Again, I think it's going to
benefit us greatly. I think that travel bands will become
almost automatic for pandemics and maybe you know the flu
weave and at certain times, I think drive up testing
is going to be a new paradigm. I think tell
a doctors is going to be a new paradigm. But

(01:00:52):
it's these are uncharted waters a little bit because we
haven't had this type of pandemic that demand on this
scale worldwide in a long time. But I think things
are going to change for the better. But those are
the details that you're right, we have to work out.
I'm actually making a list of this stuff, and that's
why now I'm making a list of all this The

(01:01:14):
other thing I'm doing is, you know, I got I
got the hell beat out of me on social media
the other day because I tweeted out, hey, oh wow,
one of my favorite restaurants is actually now delivering and
only you can afford it. I'm like, okay, Christ and
Tony's or Mario's Pizza another favorite place of mine. These guys,
you know, they want to keep all their workers where.

(01:01:36):
I know these workers. I'm best friends with all these people.
And the fact that they have delivery is great because
we all got to eat. That's why this this idea
of Mayor Deblasio. I'm glad that Cuomo stepped in and
kind of said that's not gonna happens. Shelter in place
order that would mandate everybody stay in your home. Okay,
what if you have no food in your home? Are

(01:01:57):
you gonna be able to do it? What if you
have certain medicines you need? What do you have this
that you need? You got to think this through and
but listen, we're gonna work our way through it. One
thing I want to remind some people, you know, remember
Winston Church of Blood, toil, tears and sweat. What does
our am you ask? Victory? Victory in the hills, you know,
goes on. You know, what do we have to fear?

(01:02:19):
But fear itself. We have faced depressions in this country,
We have faced economic recessions, We have faced war. We have.
We are the country that beat back the forces of
evil time and time again, Nazism, fascism, communism, imperial Japan,
you name it. We are going to get through this

(01:02:40):
other pandemics, flus, disease, we get better every time. Everyone,
We're just do We need a certain level of calm
here and perspective. All right, news, round up, information, overload
our We're proud to welcome back and thankful to have him.
Doctor Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He's now advised six presidents on everything.

(01:03:05):
He was in the forefront of HIV, AIDS, other domestic
and global health issues, and pandemics, and he was one
of the principal architects of the President's emergency plan for
AIDS relief and so many other things. Doctor Fauci, over
these many, many decades watching you, I just have to
tell you I've grown to respect you a lot and

(01:03:25):
for many many different reasons. How are you today holding up? Okay?
No sleep, I'm sure I'm hanging in this show and
not much sleep, but I'm hanging in there. You may
need doctor Hannity. By the end of this pandemic. I'll
have to come over and like bring your food and
say thank you for all you're doing for the country.
Let me start with watch the presser today and I'm
watching the daily press conferences, and you would rather people

(01:03:46):
criticize you, you said, for being overly cautious and doing
more rather than less. And I think that's a great
philosophy because I think you're saying, let's look at every
worst case scenario right exactly. And you know, when you're
dealing with outbreaks, Sean, the kinetics, the dynamics of the
outbreak are always what you see today is probably not

(01:04:10):
as bad as what really is going on. In other words,
you're seeing today is being reflected on what happened a
few weeks ago. So if you wait for something to
really get bad, you're much worse than you really know.
And that's the reason why I say you almost have
to reflexly overreact. And I don't mean that in a
negative way. I mean try and stay ahead of the

(01:04:33):
curve so that instead of responding to something that is bad,
you're ahead of the curve trying to prevent it from
being as bad. That's what I meant. Let me, let's
let's assess now that we have this fifteen day plan
in place to slow the spread of the virus, which
I fully support, and it's unfortunate to something like this

(01:04:55):
ever happens. We have pandemics, people die from the flow.
I wish, I wish we had a cure for cancer,
the truth, Dr Fauci, I want to cure for everything.
But let me ask where we are as of today,
and what do you think where are we going to be?
Saying four weeks, because I would anticipate that we're going
to see with the more testing and what will appear

(01:05:18):
to be a dramatic increase in those that have contracted
the virus, and that those numbers may scare people more.
But the idea is to get it at the level
off and then we expect a precipitous drop. Am I
wrong in that analysis? Well, I think you're right, except
for the for the last one. It may not be precipitous,
but a drop will absolutely occur. So what will happen, Sean,

(01:05:38):
is that even if our containment and mitigation, the social
distancing and things we're doing, even if they are already
having an effect, we will still see the cases go
up and up and escalate. The issue is that when
the public sees that, hey, they may say, well, wait
a minute, you're doing all of these dramatic things and

(01:06:00):
the cases are still going up. You cannot expect the
cases to start peaking and turning around until you have
a combination of the effectiveness of what you're doing and
the natural course. So we believe from historically how you've
handled other outbreaks that if we, as I use the word,

(01:06:21):
put a full court press on now, do the kinds
of things that we announced yesterday in the press conference,
even though the cases are going up, we can expect
that that will be much much less dramatic, much much
less of a peak than what we would have seen
if we had not done what we've done. How critical, now,

(01:06:43):
the timeline is fascinating to me in the sense that,
and I've gone through this repeatedly on radio and on
television here because the first person with coronavirus that arrived
in the United States was January twenty first. The President
implemented his travel ban on January thirty first, ten days
after the first person made it to the US, and

(01:07:06):
the quarantine following right thereafter, and then expanding the travel band.
How critical was that one decision in this From your perspective,
it was profoundly critical, Sean, because what's happened is that
we had a relatively few cases that were seated from China. Unfortunately,
to our colleagues and our friends in Europe, they did

(01:07:28):
not implement that kind of a band and I believe
if you look at Italy and you look at France,
enough of the country was seated with travel related cases
that it became infinitely more difficult to contain it. When
you're talking about addressing an outbreak, there are two major pillars.
Preventing new infections from coming in from with outside and

(01:07:52):
dealing with the infections you already have inside. That's called
containment and mitigation. We have been very aggressive in preventing
the influx of cases from the outside, both with the
very early decision regarding China and most recently with the
European countries and then the UK and now most recently

(01:08:13):
UK and Ireland, because right now today more cases are
coming up new from Europe than we saw in China.
So China has relatively few new cases, it's all coming
from Europe. So the idea of keeping new infections out
helps you to synergize really with the efforts that we

(01:08:36):
mentioned yesterday, namely the mitigation, the containment, which will work
much better if you cut off the source of new
patients coming in. You know, it was amazing and I'm
not going to try get in any politics. This shouldn't
even be political in my view. It should be about
saving American lives at the end of the day. But
it was critical that decision. I was told by people

(01:08:59):
that were in the room that the President was actually
the only one standing saying that that was the time
to implement the ban, and he went with his gut.
I think there are a number of things that ultimately
long term, and you've dealt with so many of these
health crises that we've had over the decades. I think
one of them will be you know, I don't think
we're going to call it xenophobic, hysterical or fear monitoring

(01:09:21):
if travel bands are used in the future. Friday was
pivotal to me because we'd watched all these leaders of industry,
the pharmaceutical industry, the business community all coming together. They'd
all been going in and out of the White House
culminating in what will be drive up testing. I believe
that'll be a future game changer, or dealing with pandemics,

(01:09:43):
because this isn't the worst place for anyone to be
right now in a hospital. The last place I want
to go to now is a hospital. Yeah, I mean
the idea of distancing yourself physically, you know, it's referred
to as social distancing. All of those, by the way,
I'm all four elbows. I don't care if anyone shakes
my hand again. I'll elbow out with anybody me too,

(01:10:05):
all the way, Sean all the way. But the whole idea,
I mean, if people really, you know, I pleaded today
at the press conference, particularly with the younger individuals, to
make sure they take seriously that guideline that they should
stay away from crowded places, from bars, from restaurants, from
theaters where people congregate, even from sports events where people congregate.

(01:10:28):
I know, reflexly, when you're young, you tend to feel
you're invulnerable, you know, and in many respects you certainly
are much less vulnerable than the elderly and those with
underlying conditions. But if you get infected, even if you
do not get sick or even seriously ill, you still
could be the conveyor of the virus to the people

(01:10:49):
who are vulnerable. And I'm sure when you think about it,
you don't want to do that. You don't want to
do it to your grandpa, grandma, sick uncle, and you
certainly don't want to do it to anybody else's relatives.
And that's been a lot. You know. Well, when you
look at the data from China and from Korea, about
eighty to eighty five percent of the people who get

(01:11:10):
infected but come to the care of a medical facility
will have mild to moderate symptoms but will not lead
specific medical intervention. The fifteen percent who would need that
are individuals that are generally the elderly and generally those

(01:11:31):
with underlying conditions. Those are the ones that can get
seriously illness. So well, we don't know, and that's what
I think. The little bit of the confusion there is
how many people who essentially get infected who have no
symptoms at all period. There aren't. I don't think there
are that many of those. But I think there would
be more correct for you to say, Sean that eighty

(01:11:52):
five percent plus of the people who get infective and
have symptoms on those who are going to recover from
those symptoms without any specific medical intervention. Where is the
fifteen percent are going to need intensive type of medical
intervention and their prognosis is much more serious than the others,
a little bit more precise than what you said. Listen,

(01:12:14):
you're the pro That's why we have you on and
want to I want to get out the best information
I can every day. I do think you know when
the President said that and all and you are a
big part of this, that this whole process of bringing
together this public private partnership and drive up testing because
it will keep people out of the hospital system for

(01:12:35):
those people that will need the care. So it raises
new questions for me. Are the drive I'll throw this
out with three separate questions. Are the drive up testing sites?
How soon up and running? And are you comfortable it
is going to be widespread enough that we do what
is necessary medically? Are you confident whatever respirator availability is

(01:12:57):
that going to now? We have some on order, We
have a pretty big supply, I understand the President said today.
Is that going to be a problem that you see
or are we staying ahead of that? And as it
relates to triage military swat teams, you know, are they
prepared with medically equipped tense doctors, support staff, supplies to

(01:13:19):
pack a C one thirty and land in a particular
city if it's being overrun with their hospitals of being
overrun with sick people. Okay, so two questions. Let me
answer the first. We will have we the United States,
in collaboration with the pharmaceutic not the pharmaceutical but the
private sector. We'll be able to implement in a progressively

(01:13:40):
greater way the drive in or walk in. You are
correct that the implementation of that would require some degree.
When you have people do the testing of personal protective equipment,
I am told that there's a potential for a paucity
of that material that could slow things down. But that's
being corrected if it is a problem, and being cared

(01:14:05):
for to make sure it is not a problem. So
we can't discount that. From the time you have something
set up to work and it actually works, you want
to make sure you have everything in place, including the
proper equipment for the people who are going to be
administering the test. So that's the answer to the first question.
We are now at the task force level, very actively

(01:14:27):
dealing with the Department of Defense to try and get
them engaged, and if we do need the kind of
things you're talking about, that they will be made available.
We don't know if we'll need them, but you've got
to prepare in the eventuality that you might need them.
All right, respirators, will we have enough? Shult a worst
case scenario, which is what you are discussing at the

(01:14:48):
press conference earlier today. What we have the availability is
the production up to the levels, the assembly lines running
around the clock to the level that we need. Well,
respirators is a kind of a mask, because some people
confuse respirators and ventilators. Ventilators of the machines the ones
they shoved down your throat that I never want in
my life. That one, well, yeah, well you put an

(01:15:10):
end of trac or tube in to attach it to
the machine. The machine is called the ventilator. That's for
people who are very seriously ill. The respirators are an
advanced form of a mask, like the N ninety five mask.
We have a lot of them. We have a stockpile
of them. We're trying to backfill right now so that
when we if we tap into that stockpile, we can

(01:15:31):
have enough. Is always a danger of falling short of
the respirators, because that's something that's in great demand. What
we say is that people should not use them if
you don't need them. The people who need them are
the people who are infected and need to protect them
from infecting others, and particularly the healthcare workers need them.
My quick break, welcome back, more with doctor Anthony Fauci

(01:15:53):
on the other side as we continue to continue. By
the way, doctor Anthony Fauci is with us. He is
the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases for six presidents now. He has been running point
on all the pandemics that we've dealt with over the years.
Let me ask about the triage capability. In other words, look,

(01:16:14):
have we ordered these things, the tense the medical supplies,
you know, medical triage teams. If a medical cluster is needed,
you know C one thirties ready to go, packed and
ready to go with doctors and support staff, mobilized, set
up begins seeing patients to take any potential overload. Are
you confident that that plan is now being in place

(01:16:35):
and would be ready at the time it's needed, if
God forbid needed. Well, let me answer it this way.
We do have a strategic national stockpile that is under
the control of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response ASPER,
which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services. Clearly,
what they're doing now is looking at ways of how

(01:16:56):
they could backfill. We've had not had to dramatically tap
into the strategic national stockpile. I'm sure that ultimately we will.
Will we have enough, It depends on the severity of
what the outbreak is. I'm sure we're going to mitigate
that well, but we don't know how bad it's going
to get, and we just need to have a realistic

(01:17:16):
assessment that we may have shortages. But what we're thinking
and doing right now is to try and do everything
we can so that we don't have shortages. But you
have to be careful, Sean. You can't guarantee things when
you don't know the magnitude of the problem you're going
to be facing. But what I can say is that
everything that can be done will be done to try

(01:17:38):
and address it appropriately. Last question, you've given us that
you rightly prepare for the worst case scenario, And no,
I don't want anybody listening to this to hold you
to this. In any way, having been through this as
often as you have and live through this and been
a part of the solution every time, what is your
best guess what happens and how fast? Well, you know

(01:18:00):
what I think is going to happen in the next
couple of weeks, a few weeks, you know, two three
or more weeks, you're going to start to see an
escalation that's even greater than what we see right now. Well,
you know, it depends because you don't know what the
background is. We're going to probably be seeing thousands and
thousands of cases. But remember when when you have that escalation,

(01:18:22):
if you are really aggressively doing the kind of containment
and mitigation that whatever that peak was going to be
if you put if you let the virus run its
own course, it's going to be less than that. And
to be honest with you, Sewan, I can't answer what
the number is going to be because it's going to

(01:18:43):
be totally related to how effective you are in blunting
a peak that would be a really, really large peak
if you did nothing. You can't. It's totally dependent on
your responsiveness. You know, I've said many times that we
are so blessed as a country to have people like you,
medical professionals, the best medical researchers, the frontline healthcare workers,

(01:19:08):
the best doctors. And we appreciate all that you've been doing,
all that you've done over these many decades. I've watched
from AFAR and interviewed you other times, and I think
you've been amazing during a tough time, and you're keeping
us ahead of the game and informed. We appreciate all
you're doing, and I hope you get some sleep as well.
Doctor Anthony Fauci, Thank you for all you're doing every day.
We appreciate it. I'm watching the press conference today. These

(01:19:31):
daily press conferences are great. They just stay there. They
take as many questions as the media wants to throw
at him. Mister President, you asked about the use of
the phrase Chinese virus. Critics are saying that phrase creates
a stigma. Everything goes. I don't think so. I think
saying that our military gave it to them creates a stigma.
It's only Donald Trump will do that. You know, the
two people that have warned us the most about China

(01:19:54):
are Donald Trump and new Ingrich Boy. They've been right.
And you know, when we find out and understand. One
thing that they're considering, this whole economic bellout packets that
I like, is encouraging. I mean, no cost tax to
bring manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, for example, back to America. I
mean there's I think when all is said and done,

(01:20:16):
and I don't know, we've got our fifteen days now,
I guess it's fourteen whenever it is. When did it
start officially yesterday in London? I think yesterday, So it's
day fourteen. All right, So this all gets through. Hopefully
we get on the other end of this thing in
a couple of months, month or two four to six weeks,
hopefully we'll begin to see the least leveling off and
precipitous declimb we expect hopefully following and we get back there,

(01:20:38):
there's gonna be some things that we've learned here that
are going to forever change how we deal with any
future possible pandemic. And I think the first thing is,
I think the single best decision the president made was
the travel band, you know, the one that Joe Biden
said was xenophobic, And that was by him saying, all

(01:21:00):
this really irritates me. It just does. But I think
that and he says it's xenophobic and it's hysteria, etcetera, etcetera.
And I'm like, wow, how could you be that dumb?
Even now they said they wouldn't have put it in
a travel band, Well, we now understand why it took
six months from Biden and Obama on H one N one.
I don't want to get into too much politics over
it is what it is. But if in the future

(01:21:22):
we don't implement travel bands and we don't implement quarantines,
that's a mistake, just like you know, the idea. All
of a sudden, we keep seeing these meetings going on
at the White House from the very get go in
this and the pharmaceutical industry, Are we really gonna Are
we really gonna keep hating the pharmaceutical industry the way
some want us to hate them when they create the medicines.

(01:21:43):
Do you know how hard it is to get a
medicine from idea and trial into the marketplace. It is
millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars.
And then when a pharmaceutical company hits and they got
one medicine for blood pressure or one medicine for cholesterol. Yeah,

(01:22:03):
they've they've got a limited time before they start making
the generics, and we and for whatever reason, demonizing them
seems to be a fashionable thing, like Okay, Walmart stepped up,
and Target stepped up, and CVS stepped up, and write
aid stepped up, and Quest stepped up, and lab Corps
stepped up, and you know, I've even heard rumors, you

(01:22:23):
know that Jeff Bezos stepped up, and even the head
of Starbucks stepped up. I'm like, I'm not going to
criticize anybody here that's stepping up. Good for them. But
the one thing that I think we will learn in
this that might become a game changer is on healthcare.
I mean, the drive up testing, the worst place now
to go would be to a hospital, unless, of course

(01:22:44):
you have to be there in its life or death.
But they are living Petrie dishes. I think that's gonna
be innovative and forever changing how we deal with a
future pandemic. So we can prevent people from contracting these
diseases by going into hospitals, so that they're going to
be tested in hospitals. That's a game changer. Having these

(01:23:06):
companies private public partnerships, I think that's gonna be game
changing for the country. I know the media, the mob
is they're never gonna change no matter what. But even
they at this point, you see a slight decline in
the madness. Now not from everybody. I mean, you still
have you know, the typical people. Joy Read apparently where
I see those NewsBusters any she actually said Fox News

(01:23:29):
has been getting people killed for years. They are a
cancer on this country. Wow. Should I regret sticking up
for joy Read at a point where I had heard
she was gonna get fired, and I said, don't fire her,
give her another chance, except her apology were made a mistake.
I don't think so. I'm I am who I am.
I believe in free speech. Fox News reportedly did this, this,
and this. They benched Trish Reagan over at Fox Business.

(01:23:54):
If they're doing special Corona coverage us all for those
of you don't watch with very large blonde hair, was
being very serious about saying that this is just an
attack on Donald Trump and it's a new impeach. The
mob and the media did treat them horribly. Absolutely, you
know the Trump virus. If you're feeling bad, you know
who to blame. Fake news CNN blaming Trump for the

(01:24:16):
surge or toilet paper buying. Well, the President was on
the phone, in case you haven't heard, with the leaders
in the supermarch supermarket chains. They're doing all they can
to keep the shelves stocked. Thank goodness. You know, it's
it's pretty much everywhere. I mean, you got President at
this press conference on Monday about the coronavirus, and Trump
was only concerned about stock market numbers. That's not true.

(01:24:37):
What did he say today? We're not there's no amount
of money he's not going to spend. I think they
just got to make sure they spend it wisely and
spend it in a way that helps us most quickly recover.
But obviously take care of the industries that need help,
take care of the people that are, through no fault
of their own, out of work. They're not they can't
get hurting. All of this and all of that is

(01:24:58):
being done, Thank good because we need that tone. You know,
you got Paul Krugman. I saw this on bright Bart
Nobel Prize winning trade economists, New York Times, you know,
the New York Times, which almost instantly said the Trump virus.
If you're feeling awful, you know, who to blame often
made a point of saying that the stock market is
not the economy, but which, by the way, it's a

(01:25:19):
point I've made and made just weeks before we ever
heard about any of this anyway. But however, pretty much
through the Trump presidency he's been saying it, and now
he's tweeting out. Economists myself included, often make a point
of saying the stock market is not the economy, which
it isn't it is. However, pretty much the Trump presidency
take away his magic talents, man, and there's nothing left,

(01:25:40):
nothing at all. Okay, I actually want people to be
able to preserve the wealth they have. People are very
nervous about it. But everything that you can think of,
every measure now has been addressed. And now it's you
gotta sit back, you gotta wait. Time will tell us
a lot more, but we really, you know, it certainly
wasn't fearmongering in his hysterical or xenophobic when in fact

(01:26:03):
the president did the right thing with the travel band,
just like he's doing the right thing not sending people
for hospitals for testing. I mean this, you know, this
whole tele medical advice and you get online and you
have a conference with either a healthcare professional or your
doctor over the over. You know, you do it on FaceTime,
he do it on skype, whatever you use. How great
is that? All right, let's get to our phones here.

(01:26:24):
Eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean, you want to
be a part of the program. Patrick is in New York,
Patrick High. How are you? And we're glad you called? Hey, Sean.
How you doing. I'm good, Nice to talk to you. Listen. UM,
basically happy the way the President is handling everything. I
think he's doing a great job. I mean, it's a
difficult situation. It's moving quickly, and uh, I think he's

(01:26:45):
doing a good job trying to stay ahead of it. Um.
As a small business owner, I just wanted to you know,
they're laying up this thing with the SBA where they're
offering uh, you know, disaster relief. So I say to
my wife, I said, well, you know, she goes, well,
we don't need another loan. You know what I'm saying,
That's the last thing these small business guys need. I
think I speak for a lot of people in the nation.

(01:27:07):
I actually can I gently disagree with you. They're going
to be businesses that probably do need short term loans,
and I think they should be made available to the
manuche and address this earlier today. One of the best
parts is it's now very low interest rates and in
other words, that to get them over a hump for
a period of time or if they're in a shutdown,

(01:27:28):
there might be a combination of relief and loans, you know,
something that's fair and manageable and needed. We've you know,
that's who we are. We help the world, We help
our fellow Americans in need, and you know we'll recover
economically from all of it eventually. No understandable, and I
believe that there's a good portion that it's it's a
great thing and people if there's going to be a
portion of small businesses that are going to utilize that.

(01:27:50):
But if you're shut down and your income is just
not there for two months, three months, how do you
make that payment? How do you Where does it come from?
And you show you know, small books, small businesses, mom
and pops, three people, four people, where do they come
up with this? You know? Um, you know, we guys
were working sixty hours, sixty five hours a week. You know,

(01:28:10):
we're keeping our head above water. This thing is tremendous.
I mean, you can't blame anybody, not blaming the government
or obviously, uh it's this is a tremendous problem that
we have here, but as a small little shop, and
I talk for all of America, all these little guys
out there, and they're probably listening right now, and they're saying, like,
you know, yes, we release this good for some people,

(01:28:32):
maybe they can afford that extra payment, but I think
a lot of guys can't afford that. You know, I
think once this time in America, I think the President
and the administration and Congress to everybody all together need
to look at this and really say, let's look at
these smaller pops. Let's take care of them for one
for one time here. They're really the heart, the heartbeat

(01:28:54):
of America here along with the medical industry, the nurses
adopters that are really out there busting their chops and
in harm's way right now, and these little businesses. I
know they're scared. You know they're scared. And this is
part of if if we have some real relief, I
don't know exactly what it will be, but I think

(01:29:15):
that's going to really stimulate it. The little guy here
in America will change that tone. If we feel that
feel that relief, the tone will will escalate. I believe
in America. Listen. I will tell you what is really
important is everybody just has to understand this is one
of those all hands on deck moments. Do your part

(01:29:35):
um what the President couldn't have been more reassuring than
he was today and telling the American people and American
workers and American business and Minuchan American small business included
that everything that is going to that we need to
be done is going to be done and will you know,
we'll sort out the financials of it later, but it

(01:29:56):
is important that we do that part of it right.
You just don't want to throw money out and say
oh I feel better. No, that's not the right way
to do. You want to create the economic conditions where
we have a very quick, speedy recovery and one that
foundationally is sound with our free market capitalist system. I
think though, that we're definitely going to have an opportunity

(01:30:17):
here to reevaluate after all of this, And I do
think medical teleconferencing could be a big part of producing
healthcare costs and also allowing you know, people the opportunity
and availability of getting concierge care around the clock. A doctor, right,
you're ready, and well, my son or my daughter has
the croup or I had the croup all the time

(01:30:38):
as a kid. Do I need to come in or
not come in? And maybe you don't go to the
emergency room. And the doctor says, well, do you have
a steamer at home? Put the steamer? This? This? This?
If it gets worse, call me back and maybe I'll
recommend you go to the hospital and get some type
of anti inflammatory for the air passages. But anyway, thanks Patrick,
appreciate a good question, good points. Let's say hi to

(01:31:00):
Marcos in Los Angeles. Hey Marcos, how are you KiB
what's going on? How's it going? Mister Sean? I wish
I was there with you, you know why, Marcos? I
would take you the in and out burger animal style,
but I do it wrapped in lettuce. I do the
veggie animal style double double. Well, we'll see if there's
any left after everybody's galuging for everything, you know. Stop.

(01:31:22):
I think that's said. That is now settling. Now. By
the way, can you explain why is everyone toilet paper?
Why is that the first item to go. I have
no idea. I heard they're making masks with it, that
they think that will work. I'm not to sure about that.
I don't know what's going on my front. Diapers too.
Diapers were hard to get for a while, too out
of here, how to buy for my son, and how
to go a county over just to get one. Listen,

(01:31:43):
I know where I lived as a couple of stores
where maybe the shells weren't stock completely. And then I
tell people I go shopping every week, and I'm like,
it's not bad at all, But anyway, what's on your
mind today? No, I call it because I just recently
stopped becoming an EMT about maybe a year ye too ago,
And I've seen I'd been a EMT since I guess

(01:32:03):
I were two thousand and four, and then I wasn't explorer.
Before that, there was other crisises that, you know, the
numbers don't add up for the amount of things that
are happening. I mean, I just don't understand it. I've
never seen it this bad. Zeka wasn't this bad, the
H one N one, all of the different animal flues
and stuff like that, And people don't understand there's still
people walking around with tuberculosis, and you know, what are

(01:32:25):
we doing about that? Let me let me give you
the quick answer, because I'm almost out of time, and
I want to give you an answer. Like in the
very beginning, if you remember, on this radio show, I said,
this is a little different because apparently symptomatic people were
highly contagious, more than say the normal influenza, and we
lose tens of thousands of Americans every year from the flu.

(01:32:47):
And that's that's called perspective also, So that was always troubling,
and then we began to watch and see that's why
I think the travel band will go down as almost
mandated heading forward. I think that the drive up testing
is crucial. This way, we're up throwing everybody into the
hospital system, and I think tele medical advice is also

(01:33:09):
going to be a part of our futures also. So
we just look, it is what it is. We're going
to do what we have to do, and then we'll
get on the other side of this, hopefully sooner than later,
and keep and prevent as many deaths as possible. That's
the goal here, all right. That's gonna wrap things up
for today. As we are loaded up tonight on Hannity. Yes,
facts without fear, all the news information that you need,

(01:33:31):
We're going to get into all of that. We're loaded
up tonight. We have the Vice President of the United States,
Mike Pence. He is heading up the President's task Force.
Governor Mike Huckabee will join us. Lindsey Graham now out
of quarantine. He didn't have the virus. We'll see you
tonight with the Vice President back here tomorrow. As always,
thank you for being with us.
