kennedy had a strong personal relationship with donald trump and ivanka trump as well. he was one of the people who are a number of loans, most notably i think, they did a huge $640 million loan to trump to build a huge skyscraper in chicago. kennedy was one of the lead point man on the transaction. this turned out to be a real fateful loan for both trump and for deutsche bank because it was made in 2005 and three years later the financial crisis happens, and trump is having a lot of trouble selling the luxury condos in the building would have to pay back the money he was supposed to pay back the money come and as deutsche bank for a six-month extension, and the grant it, and extension comes up in november 2008 right as a financial crisis hits. trump doesn't have the money to repay or doesn't have the desire to repay. he takes the very unorthodox approach which in addition to the folding of the loan he sues deutsche bank, because the financial crisis was an act of got it essentially void the contract and on top of that i'm going to see you because you can't the financia

sue present trump could do no wrong. but for donald trump, he to do no right. what is your sense of what is driving this in the news or the mainstream media that you are part of. >> will first of all, there's a bias against republicans in general. with dragon he was portrayed as stupid or dangerous both and thing in the same thing with trump. according to the median they just can't get rid of that. and i think, if they feel that if they did, it would be ostracized by their colleagues. for example, some people within the white house correspondence team that among themselves, they laugh at him, they mock him, and that is the overriding thing. many people just inherently cannot think independently. in fact that is one reason that i left college after two years like a few other people. i didn't want to be told how to think really didn't want to be told what to read. wanted to get firsthand what actually happened it. possibly having up operated. i don't have blinders on. let's put it on with all of these details about the real donald. >> that is excellent and it is

trump: good job. great ones. one of our really big friends. >> it is an honor to be here for the signing of this really important piece of legislation. saying thank you and expressing our gratitude to doctors and nurses and health care professionals on the front lines taking care of people. our prayers to families that have lost people to this horrible virus. and i appreciate very much the focus on remembering where the virus came from and the extent to which the chinese communist party and the government of china are very much responsible for an action that allowed this virus, they caused this virus, to be spread around the world, because they were not honest or forthcoming and allowed travel outside of wuhan to the rest of the world. and they have to be held accountable and i know there will be a lot of good work on both sides of the aisle in congress. pres. trump: steve? youhis is the fourth bill have signed to help with the coronavirus. this is important. i want to thank the senate and the house for working w

but after donald trump surprise victory in the republican primaries he placed his bet on trump. robert mercer created a pro trump political action committee called make america number one endowed with $15000000.00 his role in trump's campaign quickly expanded. in july 26th seen a dinner was held in a hotel in new york. it brings together among others rebecca robert mercer's daughter and donald trump the dinner resulted in key campaign changes. trump's campaign manager was replaced. the chair of making america number one rebecca mercer whose family also fund the super pac. was able to influence the trump campaign to hire stephen bannon as campaign c.e.o. . steve benen became donald trump's campaign director. kellyanne conway who headed the merced. political action committee for ted cruz became number 2. david bossie a mercer family stalwart became number 3. robert mercer has assembled team was in place. bannon basi and conaway would from this point forward steer the republican candidate strategy. when the merc versus decide to support a candidate they expect the candidates to be

trump remaking the playbook. president trump: that's a positive thing. i want the men and women of this country who are in danger, the admirals and generals who have done a job like never before. we are in war. i call it the invisible enemy. it's a dangerous war. we are also at a level when you have say 40,000 people of. and -- more than. correct me. i am glad you corrected me. if we can't do what we did, the 40,000 right now could be a million people. not 40,000. it could be a million. we are tracking at much less than the lowest possible estimate. and that's a great tribute to a number of people and a number of things. one of the things it's attributed to is what's taking place in this country with the american people. they have gone inside and done it. they have done a job nobody thought was possible. when they did the models, nobody thought it was possible. they did models not based on this kind of success. i have seen new york streets and i see it in the morning. i have watched all my life, new york streets. and you can't even see the pavement there

but here you have donald trump blaming the who and donald trump blaming the governors and donald trump blaming china and donald trump blaming everybody but himself of course and the chinese are doing the same thing on the global level. i don't think it's going to work for either. >> that's a very good point. in our mind we have this binary idea and the chinese have that idea that it's a zero sum game. clearly, both countries systems in different ways for different reasons have failed spectacularly. we can later on go back and look. they suppressed information about it for a critical three weeks or so but the idea that it's one or another is observed. there are smaller countries with fewer pretensions that have less to fall back on and not playing a geopolitical game that have done well and whose systems have done well. i would have included singapore in that group and maybe we still should wut unfortuna-- but unfo it's been a 20% surge. they have had 1,500 new infections or so which really underlines the point both the chinese and the americans should be looking at. which is even the b

trump needs fauci and fauci needs trump. he's an advisor. he cannot get anything done unless he can get the president behind it. i am reminded of what i was told once by an israeli intelligence officer, who told me the art of advising is to get the leader to believe that that was his or her idea, right? that they came up with the idea originally, and if you did that then yourjob is done. you say that firing dr fauci would be political suicide. of course, you know there have been many things in mr trump's career that have been described as political suicide that have scarcely touched him politically. even if, as he now says, i did not mean it, it destabilises dr fauci and exposes him to all sorts of people, supporters of mr trump, who now attack him. yes, that is absolutely true. he is in a precarious position. as i said, he isjust an advisor. he can be fired. and what's more important than that, as an advisor if he wants to get things done he has to get the executive behind it. so he also walked back, you know, some of those comments, so the

president trump: thank you very much. we're with the governor of florida, ron dede-santies who has done a spectacular job in florida. he enjoys very high popularity and that's for a very good reason. the reason is he's doing a good job. he came upen -- came up, we talked about many things. he's going to be opening up large portions, ultimately pretty quickly, i thought ron would maybe, we're together, we're in the white house, this was an unplanned meet, we said let's bring in the press, let's talk to them if you like. we had some boards made up, ron has some things to say. ron desantis. gov. desantis: thank you, mr. president. we're going to talk about our plan for nursing homes, our plans from the beginning and some innovations in testing. that was state condition seved and executed but federal support has made a difference. we immediately suspended visitation, we had all staff required to be screened for temperature, they had to be asked a series of questions about contacts they may have had and we did require the wear

president trump and the cdc have just issued guidance. it sounds like from these internal discussions, trump is really pushing them and on his mind is sort of political and economic concerns. some of the economic concerns i'm sure of course many americans share but one of the things that he's private lly complained about these dramatic unemployment numbers and the sinking economy. >> anyone worried about communities that are most vulnerable are the public health is somehow against opening the economy, some concern that argument, that fiction is taking hold. let me read what the wall street journal warned about. these briefings are, know, all about the president. they're now in two-day war of words with donald trump. where he came back, talked about the ratings. wall street journal felt need to point out the ratings because people are dying. it's a life and death matter for the country and the rare moments that doctors fauci and birx get to stand behind the podium we hear valuable and important information. donald trump, despite the fact h

agency he says it's failed its duty in the time of chrono bias but what about trump himself and what kind of leadership has he shown in dealing with the pandemic this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program i'm richelle carey it will disappear one day like a miracle that's how u.s. president donald trump described the coronavirus crisis in the early days and he went on for weeks assuring americans we have it totally under control and now the u.s. has the worst affected country with more than 609000 kovan 1000 cases and deaths topping 25000 health workers are struggling with medical shortages hospitals are overwhelmed and the president is under pressure he's accused of ignoring warnings of a full blown crisis and misleading americans at all trump and says he's doing the job right and is using his daily briefings to promote what he says are his achievements is just made another controversial decision by halting funding to the w.h.o. accuse the u.n. body of mismanaging the spread of the virus as critics say he's just trying to deflect blame for his own failures we have deep co

trump nor mr. kushner addressed why the president for weeks played down the virus, comparing it with the ordinary flu, predicting cases would miraculously go down to zero and suggesting the virus would disappear. people close to the white house say mr. kushner agreed with mr. trump early on that the democrats and the news media were hyping the virus, although mr. kushner's allies say he always took it seriously. i've struggled with four years now with how to calibrate and even organize and prioritize the lies, but there's something more than just the president lying again, which barely registered as a headline. it used to be the sort of thing that was a big political scandal. now it's just thursday, but it's the callousness and it's really hard to watch the party of life, the republican party, look the other way as donald trump and his white house staff and his political allies running states that are rushing to re-open sort of shrug their shoulders at the tragic, seismic, staggering, heartbreaking

president trump ignored those warnings. he paid no attention to them and what he clearly did is try to down play the virus so that the stock market would somehow not tank. you know the reality is that the virus itself was going to tank the stock market and he tried to keep the numbers down instead of ramping up testing which is what he should have done in february and keep the reporting of the numbers down. this is someone that ignored the information that could have saved, lawrence, thousands if not tens of thousands of american lives. it's impossible to oversee the severity of his duty as commander in chief. >> ben, when president obama saw the first reference to ebola in the presidents' daily brief, how quickly did he take action? did he have to see it several times in the brief by your memory was it the first time he saw it that he said we got to do something about this? >> to be honest, what i remember is that there were reports of deaths from an ebola outbreak and that gets your attention. he said something like we go

trump: that's good. let davei will gallagher here from the jet propulsion laboratory in california talk about this, but this is an amazing capability built by scientists and engineers out in california at the jet propulsion laboratory. dave, i will let you talk about it. dave: this is a great news story in the midst of this pandemic. when we started to stay-at-home about four weeks ago, one of our engineers just could not stand the idea of sitting back and doing nothing with the spreading coronavirus, and came up with a design. very rapidly, we built the team, which did a lot of the work remotely, working from home. and in just over four weeks, have developed a covid-19 ventilator. it is unique in many ways. at jpl, we build spacecraft. we don't build medical products, and the innovation and creativity of the men and women of jpl, it is incredible. so this thing has about 80 parts. a normal icu ventilator has an order of magnitude higher than that. these parts are not in the ventilator supply chain. they

>> trump: it's total. it's total. >> reporter: what provision in the constitution gives the president the power to open or close state economies and then -- >> trump: numerous provisions. we'll give you a legal brief if you want. >> trevor: okay, just so we're on the same page, trump is now promised us a list of all the preparations he took in february, and an explanation of why he has total power as the president. and i'm assuming he'll deliver all of those pieces of paper when he sends over his tax returns and his high school report on "to kill a mockingbird." yeah, at this point, trump has more pages to release than george r.r. martin. where's the final book, george? you have been stuck at home with nothing else to do! no more excuses, george. i'm going to come find you and ask you this question in person. this is not a threat. and you know it's crazy how throughout this crisis trump has been pushing responsibility on to the governors at every opportunity, that's what he's been doing, find your own vent

trump: one question. >> it is for a person who cannot be here. pres. trump: who cares? if you cannot be here, that's too bad. >> one question i have about -- an economist says that there is a danger that the food supply could be interrupted during this pandemic, and i wanted to know what you are going to do about it. pres. trump: i think our farmers are incredible. they are producing unbelievable levels of food. our transportation, that is one of the reasons i have the transportation people on the line tomorrow for the delivery of the food. we are doing phenomenally with the food and i will say the stores program walmart, which is a lot of the food, and many of the stores, they seem to be in very good shape that i have not heard that at all. we will be very strong on food supply. how about one more question? >> the death projections you mentioned earlier are based on full social distancing until the end of may. so if you ease up on these guidelines now, how many more americans do you think are going to die? pres. trump: we will have guidelines even for the states that o

nobody has a better memory than trump. unless i don't want to remember certain things, which happens a lot, too. but you had a quarterback, drew henson, who was the started. he signed with the yankees, because he wanted to play baseball. the problem is he couldn't hit a curveball. right? couldn't hit a major league curveball. but he was a great football player. he got hurt, tom brady took over, the team became much better. right? >> that right. >> president trump: that's been tom brady's thing. they had driven the patriots. >> opportunity. >> president trump: that's what happened. say hello to tom when you see him. he's a great guy. >> absolutely. >> president trump: you are a big, strong guy. ten years in the nfl paid what position did you play? >> i played tight end. >> president trump: you are a big guy for tight end. >> i didn't say i was a fast tight end. >> president trump: were you a good catcher, you could hold it? >> i could catch the ball. >> president trump: were you a blogger, more or less, or a receiver? >> i

trump: that is up to dr. birx. >> experts have expressed concern they have not seen the underlying data. pres. trump: i will talk to about that and to dr. fauci as well. >> mr. president, for you and secretary azar, 10 million people said they lost their jobs. how will the stimulus money help and would not be easier to reopen the obamacare markets or expand medicare? >> for an individual who had employer insurance, if you are employed and had insurance through your employer and you have now lost your job and lost that insurance, you now do have a special enrollment. were -- a special enrollment time where you may and role in the individual exchanges of the affordable care act. that is existing law. and we are taking from the hundred billion dollars to providers, taking money and saying, if you are a provider and you care for anyone who is uninsured, we are going to compensate you for doing that and we will compensate you at the medicare reimbursement rates and you are not allowed to build that uninsured indiv

and these things about donald trump? >> i think reince priebus did understand but it is very hard for people in certain circles from the east and west to understand the way the average voter thinks. my contractor, a working-class person said to me i don't care what trump says i just care about what he does. and that sums up the way the people in the working class think. they have to be judged by results. and then it's crooked you may be fired and then to be held accountable. and that's what you see and then and that you write behind the hedges and there were scams and murders snubs and intrigue and jealousy and pretense and the occasional generosity to make those look like nursery tales. coming into mar-a-lago and how that resulted today but this is typical and chambermaid's or secret service agents and then has a wide canvas of people and as well as his 12 friends but that is the way he works when i was at mar-a-lago recently asking what i thought about israeli settlements and then so i gave my opinion and then to turn

donald trump said that is silly. we are going to do targeted tactical and agile strength against america's enemies with disproportionate deterrent response. we are not going to have the endless bridge building war industry in afghanistan and in the region that puts our most prized possession, our young people where we have ptsd issues, veteran suicide issues, assimilation issues back into society, we are here to win wars, not try to democratize an entire region, we owe it to our veterans, to put them in a multi-decade conflict with no end insight with what victory is not well-defined, donald trump says i am going to end these endless wars but if soleimani continues to go after american citizens i will take you out with a drone strike, 0 american citizens died going after soleimani. and liberating the generals on the ground. isis was on the rise when donald trump took office and the destruction of isis, one of the most amazing accomplishments ended with minimal loss to american life but liberating the generals to go a

kennedy had a strong personal relationship with donald trump and ivanka trump as well and most notably i think did a 640 million-dollar loan to trump to build a huge skyscraper in chicago and kennedy was one of the lead plaintiff men on that transaction and it turned out to be a faithful loan for both trump and deutsche bank because it was made in 2005 ended than three years later the financial crisis happened and trump was having trouble selling those in the building so he asked, he had to pay back the money and he asked deutsche bank for a six-month extension and they granted it and it comes up in november of 2008 at the financial crisis and trump doesn't have the money to repay or the desire to repay said he takes the unorthodox approach in addition to the faulting on the loan, he sues deutsche bank arguing that because of the financial crisis was an act of god, essentially voids the contract and on top of that, i'm going to sue you because you caused the financial crisis and by what $3 billion of damages. if so that led to a bunch of litigation. kennedy dumped into trump so he sues

donald trump did this bizarre thing. i'm going to tell you the list of people i'm going to nominate and he actually picked from that list and a lot of people voted for him based on that list because that is the third branch of government. foreign-policy which i love, there is a bigotry of binary choices that happens in washington dc and i hope everyone in this room learns from this and applies it to your own life no matter what the situation is. option a, we are going to be trigger-happy and invade a lot of different countries in the middle east and nation build and impose our values throughout the region. sounded good when we had a balanced budget and bring liberty to the middle east. we will not in libya into louisiana anytime soon. we will send our most prized possessions into this region. and hundreds of billions of dollars to democratize the region. donald trump appended that immediately and said i don't like it, the neoconservative foreign policy doctrine. the second is the opposite it is that. send them billions o

there's serious trump, angry trump, sweaty trump, and silly trump. "and they all told me this was just like the flu. silly trump even said it with an old timey car horn [ car horn ] [ laughter ] oh, silly trump. you're incorrigible. and then, trump tried to claim that despite repeatedly ignoring the problem, failing to surge hospital capacity, and falling behind on testing which inhibited our ability to trace and quarantine cases the way south korea did, his administration actually deserved credit for bringing the projected death toll down to only 100 thousand to 200 thousand >> one of the models suggest he's on the low end if you have full mitigation >> it says 100 to 200 thousand anything, it's a lot of people right? it's a lot of people well, you didn't ask the other question what would have happened cause this is the question that i've been asking dr. fauci and dr. birx for a long time, and they've been working on this for a long time. the question is what would have happened if we did nothing >> seth: that is what you did. you did nothing and yo

he has a huge disadvantage with trump. you knew what you were getting into with trump. sleeping was stormy daniels, i can see that happening. i don't want to see it, but i know that it can happen. but with biden, you find out that he is dirty, right? he has to defend it whether it is about banks, because he was supposed to be the moral alternative to donald trump. not just for the democrats, but for the never-trumpers. it is the solution for bill kristol. he was no moral choice over evil trump even though rumors swirled around to joe biden for years about his behavior, about his swimming habits. we knew that -- so the thing, this is going to be a lot harder for him to deal with them people think. you just can't say, but look at trump, because he is supposed to be better, right? isn't that what we were told? >> dana: we have to take a quick commercial break. hold that thought. we will be right back. ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. whoo-hoo! great tasting ensure with 9 grams of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals,

president trump: thank you. steve? >> thank you for the leadership and calling on congress to pass this bill you are about to sign putting another 300 plus billion dollars into the paycheck protection program which has been a lifeline. not only for small businesses. you saved just over 30 million jobs with the first tranche of that money. those people would be on the unemployment role. going to save probably another 30 million people from going on unemployment. they will be able to stay at their jobs and those small businesses will be able to come back. we have seen all of these distressed industries including oil and gas, ag, restaurants. everyone wants to focus on reopening the country safely. this bill will be a lifeline. president trump: thank you, steve. kevin? >> want to thank all of those on the front line. in the medical community. the truck drivers. the farmers providing the food and making sure it is safe in america. and those even in the stores. what you are doing, this country is very grateful for. i spoke

trump: ok. reporter: mr. trump, you called on me. trump: yes, i did. reporter: thank you. you shared with us something else you saw on tv today. i have a question about something you said thursday. you were angry because information about the virus should have been told to us earlier and sooner. people knew it was coming and people did not want to talk about it. many americans are saying the same thing about you, you should have warned them the the virus was spreading like wildfire through february instead of holding rallies with thousands of people? why did you not have social distancing until march 16? pres. trump: who are you with? reporter: i am weijia chang with cbs news. pres. trump: if you look at what i did in terms of cutting off or banning china from coming in -- reporter: chinese nationals. by the way, americans -- pres. trump: just relax. we cut it off. people were amazed. everybody was amazed that i did it. 21 people in the room, everyone was against it but me. dr. fauci said, had i not done that, perhaps tens of thousands, maybe much more than that, people wo

it months earlier they would have known trump threatens to put a hold on the w.h.o. funding it comes as the u.s. would force its highest single day death toll in new york city more people have died from khalid 9 team than were killed in the 911 attacks. and the chinese city where the outbreak began is now allowing people to leave one hand celebrate the end of lockdown with a light show as china report records no new daily deaths from the virus. i'm told me a lot of both welcome new york is still reporting shop near rising casualties from the coronavirus the death toll has now climbed above 4000 many more than died in the 911 attacks the state reported its biggest one day jump in fatalities on chews day hospitals remain overstretched but governor andrew cuomo insists the number of deaths is a leveling off he says this shows social distancing is working. meanwhile president donald trump has threatened to freeze funding to the world health organization and his daily white house briefing criticized the w.h.o. his handling of the crisis saying the u.n. body was china cent

not happening for trump. and then on the key issue of dealing with the coronavirus, biden polls way ahead of trump on that issue. and then finally on this big question, are americans right now more worried about the pandemic coming back, or are they more worried about the economy? trump is trying to convince them, focus on the economy. we've got to open up, we've got to open up. and overwhelmingly, two-thirds of the country says, no, we're much more worried about the virus and we'd like to stick with these stay-at-home regulations. so trump is losing every argument he's in the middle of, and if i'm the biden campaign, i'm happy i'm not in the middle of this fight. let the guy continue to keep making the mistakes he's making. >> and, bina, the president seems to think that getting his name somewhere near or on the $1,200 check that some people are going to get is what he needs to do. he doesn't seem to understand that a lot of people getting those checks also want to get a test. they desperately want to get a

of donald trump. his job, his sole purpose in life is to curry favor with donald trump, to pump up donald trump, and to inflate donald trump's ego and never say a crossword. even lindsey graham is on the record now with reporters trying to send that message, you know, the s.o.s. message with the blinking his eyes and the hostage video. he's trying to tell donald trump over and over again, you are screwing this up. these briefings are not working for you. all of your addictions, this one, the one to being in the constant spotlight, trump used to stay away from that briefing room as if it was, you know, as if it was the place that contained the crypto night, he never went in that briefing room. now you once he discovered he could go in there and command the stage for two hours edet, na day, he's addicted to it. but even lindsey graham is saying you might want to do that once a week, buddy, because it's not helping you. because there's no world in which these briefings are helping dump. it's ju donald tr

>> president trump: i did not see that number. i heard there was a poll and i'm sure there are a lot of holes. look, the american people want to make sure that they have jobs for the american people. we are doing that. i don't know what the numbers are, but i think it's just common sense that that's where we should be. that's where the american people want to be. we are going to build our country back, and i'm telling you come with all the things that we are doing in infrastructure, which were desperately need, it's going to be an incredible thing taking place. i think it's going to be a renaissance. we are going to have something that a lot of people are going tto go to work building those bridges and tunnels and highways and all of the other things we are going to be building. and broadband from the middle west. i mean, farmers haven't been treated fairly. let's face it. the farmers have been treated fairly when it comes to the internet, so we are going to take care of that. we will make them very happy. we will see you all tomo

donald trump says anyone can get tested, he means anyone named trump. he means anyone who donald trump wants to get tested like the people near him on a daily basis and certainly means himself but he does not mean you. and he's going to want you to go back to work at some point to a workplace where virtually no one has been tested. he's going to want universities to welcome students back in the next academic year without any testing. susan rice served as president obama's national security advisor today on jonathan's pod cast susan rice said this about president trump's handling of this pandemic. >> he has misled the american people to such an extent that lives have been lost in the process. >> anybody that wants a test can get a test. he said that. last night at this hour we showed you one of the thousands of home made videos that are recorded every night in new york city at 7:00 p.m. when millions of people in new york city stop whatever they're doing and go to their windows or their balconies or roofs or the sidewalks and they clap. and they cheer. a

trump: thank you very much. as you know, our currency has remained very strong. other currencies are not doing well at all, and our currency is very, very strong. a lot of assets to that. sometimes it makes life a little more difficult going outside the four walls, but it means that everybody wants to be in, and we find that every time we go out, they want to jump into our currency. i don't think it has ever been any stronger or better or more powerful, especially relative to other currencies of other nations. i think that is a great thing. it is great for all of you. ivanka, please. ivanka: absolutely. i think the foundation of our economy was so incredibly strong until this virus hit, and this is something that we are hearing from small businesses across the country. this is no fault of their own, and we are going to carry them through this really devastating time. it will be brighter on the other because of commitments such as this, public-private partnerships. we will hopefully come out of this sooner rather

anybody who doesn't support trump, doesn't understand trump, doesn't love trump is a loser. and losers are destined to lose. when you apply that to the mentality of leadership in a pandemic, it sort of implies, well, actually the people that are going to get this are not people like us, not the superior people, and therefore of course we wouldn't wear masks. and you know, it would be humiliating for somebody like me to put myself on the same level as ordinary people who might have to take these precautions. >> and the concept of loser is part of what renders trump utterly incompetent in every way in a public health crisis because of his belief that the bad things happen to losers. >> yes. and if you go back to his books, i mean, this is a thing he goes back to really, that it's destined in some way. the one thing you do not need in a pandemic crisis, right? is somebody who believes somehow that the virus will pick people out on the basis of their worthiness or their genetics or their superiority or whatever else it is. the thing we know about this pandemic is that it doesn't

it's not a drawer at the trump polemic. an american creed with classical liberal elements, rule of law, limited government, sovereignty and american sense of nationalism so small see conservatives have sought to conserve that tradition and that the same time when it comes to foreign-policy the founders had some key principles that were a consistent paradigm for generations. if you have a dollar bill in your pocket you see the new order of the ages. i hope popular self-government spreads, that is a distinct the american hope, annulment of us foreign policy, doesn't mean you do it by force but as an example. the second element and this is in washington, the idea you maintain a free hand, as jefferson put it, there would be no entangling alliances, no permanent alliances. that was a key element in american foreign policy from the beginning and founders saw a contradiction between those two things. that was a dominant political bipartisan tradition well into the twentieth century so what shifted was, i argue, woodrow wilson's i

trump. and then i see the disinfectant, and is there a way we can do something like that. by injection inside. you say it's in the lungs, and there's a tremendous numbers. but it sounds interesting to me. the whole concept of the light, and one minute. that is pretty powerful. >> social distancing guidelines. mike: we may have to go along. pres. trump. at some point we won't have to do that. but until we feel it is safe, we're going to be extending it printed. reporter: you had 23 cases on decline. does that mean about when the country can be safely reopened to a normal point. pres. trump. it means we're going to watch as cases very carefully. we've all gotten very good at it. we've gotten good at tracing. we will see where the cases are and where they are going and we will be watching it printed and that certain point we will be able to contain it. when you see this, a lot of people have been talking about summer and maybe this is one of the ways that i once mentioned, that maybe it does 11

trump: phase four, steve,

donald trump gave the country a weekend off duty, full weekend no one had to watch donald trump saying crazy, dangerous and indescribably stupid things. and only people who could have been disappointed that donald trump spent the weekend cowering from reporters are the people working for joe biden campaign, the briefings the best thing that happened to the biden campaign since he got endorsements from his rivals. joe biden ahead of donald trump outside of the margin of error 50-40. in same poll 64% say donald trump is not honest and trustworthy. of the minority who find him trustworthy, can only hope they found lysol's statement of drinking their product more trustworthy than donald trump's saying it might be perfect for the coronavirus. the white house went from now white house briefing on the schedule to having it, then canceling the white house briefing from the schedule. before restoring the white house briefing to the schedule. donald trump knew he was going to get a question about disinfectant but he also knew he could just cut the reporter short and not answer the question. >> m

polls and i see that the american people have come to their senses i guess you know i'm not donald trump's biggest fan and when i see. notwithstanding the fact that there is this usual rally around the flag it gracing a president during a time of crisis and that's happening in every other country on the planet and virtually every state in the united states dollar tax rates went up and now they're back down to where they've been and joe biden is beating him by 6789 whites in some of the big respectable polls so that does excite me that yes fair enough fair enough ok the national polls mean nothing at this point and if you compare it to 2016 joe isn't doing that well hillary was doing much better ok having said that when he going to win here let me you know let me go to hell and ellen. the real issue here is within the democratic party itself in it's really centered on bernie bernie sanders ok they finally got him out ok they rallied their forces the media came in to save the day as well and it really gets down to the bernie bros and i don't use that term in a project pejorative way as many

the left didn't call itself the left but when trump tied to try to build trump tower in new york city and came across the corrupt bureaucrats and democrats, that's the left and president trump tried to build woman rick which was an ice-skating rink that was delayed, that was the left so he has a playbook for this and it's almost as if he was chosen for a time like this is one of the few people outside politics and has a track record of beating these sorts of tactics time and again and it takes a brooklyn street fighter sometimes to go after them and so he wins the election. he gets inaugurated and he does something that confused everybody. he actually did what he said he was going to do and we are not used to that at all area it's this really bizarre thing where the aids will come into his office and say mister trump, a decision is coming up whether or not we want to renew nafta and it's this strange decision-making process called what did i say i was going to do and that's what i'm going to do and we're not used to this by the way because both parties have never operated like this .

>> president trump: we are going to find out. when you see hundreds of thousands of applications, don't forget they are for $3,000 , 7,000, some for a couple million. they are for varying amounts of money. there's a limit on the top. there's a limit on the bottom as to what it might be. but it's really popular. hundreds of thousands of applications. they really like it. when i like is it keeps these companies together, these little companies. just like we are going to help the airlines in the big companies, we are going to help the little companies. the banks are -- no one is equipped to do a thing like that but they banks are equipped. the banks are doing it. big bangs, small banks, many banks, community banks. they are processing the loans and they will be able to watch it and make sure it's done properly. >> reporter: talk today about potentially reopening the economy in the coming weeks. you mentioned the other day about a potential economic task force. can you give us some sort of update? >> president trump: we want to open

trump needs fauci and fauci needs trump. he is an advisor. he can't get anything done u nless he can't get anything done unless he can get the president behind him. i am unless he can get the president behind him. iam reminded of what i was told once by an israeli intelligence officer, who told me the art of advising is to get the leader to believe that that was his or her idea, that that was his or her idea, that they came up with the idea originally, and if you did that then yourjob is done. you say that firing doctor fauci would be political suicide. many things in mrtrump‘s be political suicide. many things in mr trump's career have been described as political suicide that have scarcely done anything. when he saidi scarcely done anything. when he said i did not mean it, it destabilises dr fauci and exposes him to all sorts of people, supporters of mr trump, who attacked him. yes, that is absolutely true. he is in a precarious position. as i said, he is just an advisor. he can be fired. and what is more important than that, as an advisor

trump: thank you very much. this week america continues our aggressive effort to defeat the virus as we enter a crucial and difficult phase of the battle. we continue to send our prayers to the people of new york and new jersey and to our whole country. new york and new jersey are very hot zones and we are with them and we are with everybody. your struggle is our struggle and we will beat this virus. we will beat it together. i want to send best wishes to a very good friend of mine and a friend to our nation, prime minister boris johnson. we are very saddened to hear that he was taken into intensive care this afternoon. a little while ago. americans are praying for his recovery. he has been a really good friend, something very special. strong, resolute, does not quit, does not give up. we have made tremendous progress on therapeutics. i had a fantastic call today. i have asked two of the leading companies, these are brilliant companies, ebola, aids, others, they have come with the solutions and have done incredi

from washington is the republican national party spokesperson elizabeth harrington could president trump have done far more than he did to stop this virus both at home and abroad. and his apparent of back into conflict zone thank you for having me you said on april the 19th of the president has moved with record speed to come back to ground a virus and bring relief to hardworking americans there's been a record speed on testing for the virus has there despite all the false assurances that have come from the white house we have this from your own governor larry hogan from maryland who said the president's claim that states have enough tests to be open is just absolutely forbes why is the president putting up for sublimation. well that's not true the president has put out and been very transparent in the information he provided in the taskforce briefing just yesterday he showed the 5000 different places locations across this country where testing is available and ready to be used by governors across or great nation and if you look at the speed at which president trump has acted it's spent

they hates donald trump. and any story they do has to resound negatively about donald trump. wolf blitzer. man, i've loved him for h more than 40 years. today, tonight, i watched what he was characterizing what donald trump was saying at his briefing instead of showing donald trump lives saying what he was saying! it is awful. they are upset for example what the president did or did not do it in but they had no horror on what china did or did not do in december and january. it was really so... it's such a classic example for historians of how the media has dropped the ball and attempting to have a political agenda in a science story, sean. >> sean: you have had a great -- people need to go back. it's on youtube. your willowbrook coverage. you agree, disagree, call it like you see it. i credit you for that. dan bongino, i said in 2007, 2008, nobody wanted to vent obama, nobody wanted to look at the biggest abuse of corruption scandal in history. they got it wrong on the russiai conspiracy hoax, they are fixated on impeachment, the president putting in place travel bands and an
