"ALL IN" STARTS RIGHT NOW.
GOOD EVENING FROM NEW YORK, I AM
CHRIS HAYES.
I AM GO TO START WITH A
CONFESSION.
AS THE CORONAVIRUS DEVASTATES
THIS COUNTRY, I AM FINDING IT
HARD TO HOLD MY RAGE AND MY
ANGUISH TOGETHER.
WE ARE WATCHING A LACK OF ACTION
BY THE FEDERAL LEADERSHIP IN
THIS COUNTRY THAT FEELS ALMOST
CRIMINAL.
IT IS DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE AT A
LEVEL THAT I CANNOT QUITE
ARTICULATE.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHERE YOU WERE
ON 9/11?
I DO.
I THINK WE ALL DO.
I WOULD SAY TAKE A MOMENT NOW TO
COMMIT TO MEMORY WHERE YOU ARE
RIGHT NOW.
WE LOST MORE AMERICANS TODAY
THAN WE LOST IN 9/11, AN EVENT
THAT TRANSFORMED OUR COUNTRY AND
THE GOVERNMENT AND THE WORLD.
TODAY WAS JUST A WEDNESDAY.
WE ARE NOW AT A POINT WHERE THE
NATION’S COVID RESPONSE
DESCENDED INTO CHAOS.
CHAOS.
CATASTROPHE.
CALAMITY.
EVERYONE IS MAD AT EVERYONE
ELSE.
PEOPLE ARE MAD AT EACH OTHER AND
TEXTING EACH OTHER ABOUT THE
JERK AT THE STORE AND INSTAGRAM.
WHAT A BIG PARTY AT
THANKSGIVING.
THE PEOPLE MOBILIZING IN THIS
TOWN OR THAT.
THE HYPOCRITICAL LOCAL LEADERS
AND THE GOVERNORS WHO WILL NOT
ACT AND CLOSING SCHOOLS AND
PLAYGROUNDS BUT NOT BARS AND
SCHOOLS.
MORE THAN 3,000 DEATHS WERE
RECORDED TODAY FOR THE FIRST
TIME EVER.
THAT IS A RECORD HERE AND A
RECORD FOR THE WORLD.
WE HAVE, WITHOUT QUESTION THE
WORST RESPONSE OF ANY RICH
COUNTRY IN THE WORLD AND YOU CAN
MAKE THE CASE IT IS JUST THE
WORST IN THE WORLD PERIOD.
THERE ARE MANY POINTS OF
FAILURE.
DO NOT LOSE SIGHT OF THE FACT
THAT IT STARTS FROM THE TOP.
THERE IS NO COUNTRY ON EARTH
THAT HAS SUCCESSFULLY SUPPRESSED
THE CORONAVIRUS IN A PRIVATIZED,
FEDERALIZED WAY.
NOWHERE ON EARTH IN FACT IT IS
THE OPPOSITE.
LOOK AT AUSTRALIA.
YES, IT DOES NOT SHARE A BOARDER
WITH ANOTHER COUNTRY.
THEY ALSO ADOPTED REALLY STRICT
MEASURES.
AUSTRALIA STOPPED PEOPLE
TRAVELING BETWEEN PROVINCES.
IMAGINE IF YOU COULD NOT TRAVEL
BETWEEN STATES.
A FEW TIMES TEENAGERS IN
AUSTRALIA BROKE QUARANTINE AND
TRAVELLED BETWEEN PROVINCES.
NO JOKE, IT WAS NATIONAL NEWS
THERE.
THE COUNTRY UNDERTOOK A FULLY
NATIONALIZED EFFORT TO SUPPRESS
THE VIRUS. IT WAS STRICT AND HARD AND IT
IT WAS STRICT AND HARD AND IT
WORKED.
THEY ARE HAVING OUTDOOR
CONCERTS.
THIS IS WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE.
IF THE U.S. DID AUSTRALIA’S PER
CAPITA -- MORE THAN 70% OF
ALL-AMERICANS THAT DIED OF COVID
WOULD STILL BE HERE.
YOU SAY THAT AUSTRALIA IS A
WEIRD CASE. IT IS AN ISLAND WITH A
IT IS AN ISLAND WITH A
RELATIVELY SMALL PARKING LOTT.
GERMAN, IT DOES NOT STOP.
IT DOES NOT GO, WAY.
THE NUMBERS STARTED TO SPIKE
AGAIN IN THE FALL.
LIKE OTHER EU COUNTRIES THEY HAD
TO TAKE FAIRLY DRASTIC MEASURES
TO SUPPRESS THE VIRUS AND GET IT
UNDER CONTROL.
GERMANY, THERE IS A LOT OF
REGIONAL AUTONOMY IN THEIR
GOVERNMENT, BUT THIS WAS A
NATIONAL GOVERNMENT LED BY A
NATIONAL LEADER WHO SPOKE TO HER
NATION LIKE A GROWN UP.
CHANCELLOR MERKEL WAS EXPLAINING
WHY THE CHRISTMAS MARKETS
COULDN’T STAY OPEN SAYING THE CURRENT DEATH RATE IN GERMANY IS
CURRENT DEATH RATE IN GERMANY IS JUST TOO HIGH.
>>> SHE SAID I AM REALLY SORRY,
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
BUT IF THE PRICE WE PAY IS 590
DEATHS PER DAY, THAT IS
UNACCEPTABLE.
590 DEATHS WHICH IS WHAT MERKEL
WILL NOT ABIDE.
THE EQUIVALENT TO 2,300 PEOPLE
PER DAY HERE.
LESS THAN THE NUMBER DYING HERE
EVERY DAY.
NOW DONALD TRUMP HAS NEVER COME
OUT, SURROUNDED BY MEMBERS OF
THE PARTY AND GIVEN A PASSIONATE
PUBLIC SPEECH WHICH HE SAYS FROM
THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO
AMERICANS, 2,300 AMERICANS DYING
PER DAY IS A COMPLETELY FINE
PRICE TO PAY.
IT IS FINE IF YOU ALL DIE OF
THAT NUMBER AND GET APPLAUSE
FROM THE PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT IT.
BUT JUST BECAUSE HE HASN’T GIVEN
THE SPEECH DOES NOT MEAN THAT IS
NOT THE POLICY.
THAT IS THE POLICY.
THE POLICY IS, YOU GUYS ALL
FIGURE IT OUT.
EVERYONE IS LEFT ON THEIR OWN
WITH NO WHITE HOUSE LEADERSHIP
