GOVERNOR MENTIONS IT IN HIS NEWS CONFERENCE NOW, ABOUT TO GET
UNDERWAY IN SACRAMENTO.
MEANWHILE, NEAR GOVERNOR ANDREW
CUOMO FIRING BACK AFTER THE
PRESIDENT CLAIMED HE HAD "TOTAL
AUTHORITY TO DECIDE WHEN THE
ECONOMY OPENS UP."
>> THE PRESIDENT IS CLEARLY
SPOILING FOR A FIGHT ON THIS
ISSUE.
ISSUE. THIS IS NO TIME FOR POLITICS.
AND IT IS NO TIME TO FIGHT.
IF HE WANTS TO FIGHT, HE’S NOT
GOING TO GET IT FROM ME.
PERIOD.
PERIOD. THIS IS GOING TO TAKE US WORKING
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER. HE DOES NOT HAVE TOTAL
AUTHORITY.
AUTHORITY. >> Bill: CHIEF WHITE HOUSE
CORRESPONDENT JOHN ROBERTS LEAVE
THE SOUR.
THE SOUR. NICE TO SEE YOU JOHN, ON THE
NORTH ON, LET’S BEGIN WITH YOU.
>> BILL, GOOD TO SEE WAS WELL,
IT’S A BIT PERPLEXING AS TO WHAT
THIS ARGUMENT IS ALL ABOUT.
CERTAINLY THE PRESIDENT HAS GOT
AUTHORITY OVER BORDER AND
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS, THINGS THAT ARE
UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL.
BUT IT IS THE STATE GOVERNORS
WHO HAVE BEEN ISSUING ALL OF
THESE CLOSURES AND ESTATE HOME
ORDERS, STILL, THE PRESIDENT
INSISTING, AGAIN, TODAY, THAT
THE AUTHORITY TO FIRE THE
STARTER PISTOL TO REOPEN THE
AMERICAN ECONOMY IS HIS, AND
TAKING AIM AT GOVERNORS IN THE
NORTHEAST AND WEST TO SAYING
THEY ARE GETTING TOGETHER ON A
REGIONAL BASIS TO MAKE PLANS TO
REOPEN.
REOPEN. THE PRESIDENT TWEETED "TELL THE
DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS THAT MUTINY
ON THE BOUNTY WAS ONE OF MY
ALL-TIME FAVORITE MOVIES, A GOOD
OLD-FASHIONED MUTINY NOW AND
THEN IS EXCITING AND
INVIGORATING THING TO WATCH.
ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MUTINEERS
NEED SO MUCH FROM THE CAPTAIN.
TOO EASY."
TOO EASY." IN HIS DAILY PRESS CONFERENCE
TODAY, NEW YORK GOVERNOR ANDREW
CUOMO ACKNOWLEDGING THAT HE HAS
GONE HAT IN HAND TO
PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR EQUIPMENT
AND SUPPLIES, BUT THAT HE WILL
MAKE THE DECISION ABOUT WHAT TO
DO REGARDING NEW YORK.
LISTEN HERE.
LISTEN HERE. >> HIS PROCLAMATION IS THAT HE
WOULD BE KING.
THAT’S WHAT A KING’S.
A KING HAS TOTAL AUTHORITY.
THAT SIMPLY CANNOT STAND.
>> COME SAID HE DOESN’T WANT TO
HAVE A FIGHT WITH THE PRESIDENT,
WILL NOT HAVE A FIGHT WITH THE
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. UNLESS, OF COURSE, THE PRESIDENT
TRIES TO GET HIM TO DO SOMETHING
HE DOESN’T THINK IS THE RIGHT
THING TO DO.
FROM A SAFETY AND HEALTH
PERSPECTIVE.
PERSPECTIVE. AND THEN, HE WOULD BE OPEN TO A
FIGHT WITH HIM.
BILL.
BILL. >> Bill: JOHN, WHAT NEEDS TO
BE IN PLACE BEFORE THE ECONOMY
GETS MOVING AGAIN?
>> THERE’S A WHOLE IDEA WITH THE
SOFT TARGET DATE OF MAY 1ST,
THERE’S A LOT THAT HAS TO HAPPEN
BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.
WE HAVE TO SEE THE INFECTION
CURVE REALLY START TO FLATTEN
OUT, AND THEN THERE NEED TO BE
MORE MEASURES IN PLACE FOR
RIGOROUS TESTING AND CONTACT
TRACING.
TRACING. DR. ANTHONY FAUCI TELLING BAP IN
AN INTERVIEW EARLIER TODAY THAT
SO FAR, THOSE THINGS THAT ARE
NECESSARY TO REOPEN THE ECONOMY
ARE NOT IN PLACE, IN AN
INTERVIEW WITH LAURA INGRAHAM
TEARS TONIGHT, THOUGH, THE
VICE PRESIDENT SAID THE
CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE MET THIS
MORNING TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE
WILL BE SUFFICIENT TESTING AND
CONTACT TRACING IN PLACE.
MEETING WITH A NUMBER OF PEOPLE
THIS AFTERNOON WE HAVE RECOVERED
FROM THE CORONAVIRUS,
PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYING HE IS
GETTING CLOSE TO ISSUING NEW
GUIDELINES TO BEGIN THE PROCESS
TO GET AMERICA BACK TO WORK.
LISTEN TO WHAT THE PRESIDENT
SAID.
SAID. >> President Trump: AND I’M
GOING TO BE MAKING A DECISION
PRETTY QUICKLY, AND IT’S BEING
DONE IN CONJUNCTION WITH
GOVERNORS.
GOVERNORS. WE HAVE TREMENDOUS SUPPORT FROM
GOVERNORS.
GOVERNORS. AND WHAT I DO IS GOING TO BE
DONE IN CONJUNCTION WITH
GOVERNORS.
GOVERNORS. >> SO THE WAY THAT IT LOOKS THIS
IS GOING TO WORK, AGAIN, THIS IS
PART OF THE INTERVIEW THE
VICE PRESIDENT DID WITH
LAURA INGRAHAM.
LAURA INGRAHAM. AS OF THE VICE PRESIDENT IN THE
WHITE HOUSE WILL COME OUT WITH
NEW GUIDELINES THAT THEY WILL
DISSEMINATE TO THE STATES, THEN
IT WILL BE UP TO THE STATES TO
DECIDE HOW AND WHEN TO IMPLEMENT
THOSE GUIDELINES.
THOSE GUIDELINES. THE VICE PRESIDENT ALSO
SUGGESTING THAT AREAS THAT ARE
LEAST HARD-HIT BY THE VIRUS CAN
PROBABLY BE THE FIRST MONTHS
OPEN UP, IT MAY TAKE PLACES LIKE
NEW YORK, DETROIT, NEW ORLEANS A
LITTLE BIT LONGER TO DO THAT.
THE PRESIDENT ALSO, THIS
AFTERNOON, BILL, WILL BE
ANNOUNCING WHO WILL BE WORKING
WITH HIM ON THIS NEW ADVISORY
BOARD, I THINK IT’S PROBABLY THE
BEST WAY TO PUT IT, TO REOPEN
AMERICA, HE WILL BE CONSULTING
WITH A NUMBER OF EXPERTS FROM A
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT SECTORS,
MEDICINE, THE ECONOMY, BUSINESS,
POLITICAL LEADERS AS WELL, TO
DETERMINE WHERE AND WHEN AND HOW
AMERICAN CAN START TO GET BACK
TO WORK.
TO WORK. >> Bill: HE SAID THAT WOULD
INVOLVE GOVERNORS, WAITING TO
