THE IMPACT HAS SPREAD TO A VERY HIGH AT A GLOBAL LEVEL.
YOU CAN SEE THEIR TWEET THEY
SENT OUT RIGHT THERE.
SPEAKING OF EBOLA, RON KLAIN LED
THAT DURING PRESIDENT OBAMA’S
SECOND TERM.
SECOND TERM. HE’S A CONSILTANT FOR THE BIDEN
CAMPAIGN WE SHOULD NOTE.
>> THANKS.
>> THANKS. >> THERE’S A LOT TO TALK ABOUT
THERE.
THERE. MULVANEY SAYING WE SHOULD NOT BE
AT FREAKOUT LEVELS.
IS HE RIGHT?
>> I THINK THE CHIEF OF STAFF IS
SAYING THIS IS A POLITICAL
CONSPIRACY OR POLITICAL ATTACK
ON THE ADMINISTRATION, THERE ARE
3,000 PEOPLE DEAD AROUND THE
PLANET.
PLANET. MORE THAN 80,000 CASES.
PROBABLY THAT’S AN UNDERCOUNT
IT’S COMING HERE.
THE WHITE HOUSE SHOULDN’T BE
LAUNCHING MR. IT CAL ATTACKS.
THEY SHOULD BE GETTING THE
COUNTRY READY.
COUNTRY READY. I THINK THAT’S THE QUESTION.
WHAT ARE THEY REALLY DOING TO
INCREASE PREPARATIONS, TO GET
THOSE TEST KITS OUT TO GET
TESTING LABS READY.
TO GET THE HOSPITALS READY.
>> THE SOURCES I HAVE TALKED TO
AROUND THE ADMINISTRATION SAY,
LISTEN, THE MESSAGING IS GET
CONTROLLED THROUGH THE VICE
PRESIDENT’S OFFICE.
PRESIDENT’S OFFICE. THAT’S NOT UNUSUAL THAT ONE
OFFICE WOULD TRY TO FUNNEL
INFORMATION.
INFORMATION. BUT THERE’S A CONCERN ABOUT THE
HEALTH OFFICIALS FEELING A THEY
WERE MUZZLED.
WERE MUZZLED. DR. FAUCI TOLD GARAMENDI HE’S
FEELING MUZZLED AND THAT
SEEMS -- DOES THAT HOLD WATER TO
YOU, MAYBE THE VICE PRESIDENT
WANTS TO PUT THAT MESSAGING
FORWARD?
FORWARD? >> NO.
>> NO. I MEAN --
I MEAN -- >> WHY NOT?
>> I THINK WE NEED TO HEAR FROM
PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE FACTS.
THE FIRST MONTH I WAS WHITE
HOUSE EBOLA COORDINATOR I WAS IN
THERE 18 HOURS A DAY MAKING SURE
WE WERE GETTING THEAL SYSTEMS
READY TO TEST PEOPLE AND MAKING
SURE WE WERE GETTING OUR OWN
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM READY.
DR. FAUCI IS THE NATION’S
LEADING INFECTIOUS DISEASE
EXPERT AND THE MOST EFFECTIVE
COMMUNICATOR.
COMMUNICATOR. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR
FROM HIM NOT IN A POLITICIAN.
THE IDEA THAT YOU WOULD SAY HE
CAN’T TALK TO THE PUBLIC WITHOUT
LIKE MIKE PENCE SAYING MOTHER
MAY I IS RIDICULOUS.
IT’S ANTI-SCIENTIFIC, NOT THE
RIGHT WAY TO DEEP THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE CALMED DOWN.
WE HEARD FROM THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES AND THE STOCK
MARKET FELL 1,200 POINTS AND
PEOPLE FREAKED OUT.
WE NEED TO HEAR FROM PEOPLE WHO
KNOW WHAT THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT
NOT POLITICS.
NOT POLITICS. >> AND THE PRESIDENT TALKED
ABOUT WHEN HE THINKS THIS WILL
END.
END. WATCH.
WATCH. >> IT WILL DISAPPEAR, ONE DAY,
IT WILL BE LIKE A MIRACLE IT
WILL DISAPPEAR AND FROM OUR
SHORES IT COULD GET WORSE BEFORE
IT GETS BETTER.
MAYBE GOES AWAY.
NOBODY REALLY KNOWS.
>> A MIRACLE IS NOT GOING TO
STOP CORONAVIRUS.
STOP CORONAVIRUS. SCIENCE, MEDICINE, A WELL
ORGANIZED RESPONSE WILL STOP
CORONAVIRUS.
CORONAVIRUS. AND, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WHEN I
HEAR THE PRESIDENT SAY THAT THAT
ONLY ADDS TO MY LEVEL OF CONCERN
BUT WHETHER OR NOT THE WHITE
HOUSE IS DOING ITS KNITTING IT’S
NOT SPINNING THE VIRUS, BUT
STOPPING THE VIRUS.
THAT MEANS WORKING WITH OUR
GLOBAL PARTNERS TO SEE WHAT’S
HAPPENING ON -- IT MEANS GETTING
INFORMATION.
INFORMATION. WE HAVE A LOT OF EVIDENCE THAT
THE PRESIDENT TRYING TO HAPPY
TALK THE VIRUS AWAY, TRY NOT
TRYING TO STOP IT.
>> WE KNOW THAT THE TASK
FORCE -- I WOULD --
>> MEETING WITH THE TASK FORCE
FOR THE SIX WEEKS BUT WHERE ARE
THE TESTING KITS?
THERE ARE MANY PARTS OF THE
COUNTRY WHERE THERE’S NO
CAPACITY TO TEST FOR THE VIRUS.
KOREA TESTED 500,000 PEOPLE,
WE’VE TESTED IN THE HUNDREDS.
GO TO YOUR LOCAL HOSPITAL, ASK
IF THEY HAVE BEDS READY.
>> IN THE PRESIDENT TO THEGOT UP
SAID YOU’RE KNIFE CORONAVIRUS
CZAR, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> IT’S GOING TO START TO SPREAD
HERE.
HERE. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE OUR HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM IS READY TO TEST, TO
ISOLATE AND TREAT.
THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FAST.
>> THAT WHISTLE-BLOWER COMPLAINT
FROM HHS LAENLALLEGES THERE WERE
WORKERS INTERACTING WITH
PATIENTS WITH NOT THE RIGHT
PROTECTIVE GEAR AND NOT THE
RIGHT TRAINING.
RIGHT TRAINING. A CONGRESSMAN WAS THE FIRST TO
DRAW A LINK BETWEEN THE CASE IN
CALIFORNIA AND THE
WHISTLE-BLOWER LINK.
WHISTLE-BLOWER LINK. >> I DON’T THINK WE NET HAVE THE
EVIDENCE TO KNOW THE CASE IN
CALIFORNIA IS TIED TO THAT.
WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL ABOUT
DRAWING CONCLUSIONS BUT I THINK
THE INFORMATION FROM THE
WHISTLE-BLOWER COMPLAINT SHOWS
THE KIND OF CHAOS AND CONFUSION
IN THE RESPONSE WE’RE SEEING.
THAT’S WHY WE NEED STRONG
