Transcripts For KPIX CBS This Morning 20240713

The nation demands it. The senate failing to reach a bipartisan deal for a massive stimulus package as the coronavirus pandemic wreaks havoc on the economy. The democratic leader and speaker of the house decided to blow it all up and play russian roulette. This is a challenging time for all americans. Were enduring a Great National trial. We will prove that we can meet the moment. Were going to get hit. No doubt about it. We see it in new york. New york is terribly suffering. The new yorkers and all americans deserve the blunt truth. Its only getting worse. April and may are going to be a lot worse. But i do believe that whatever this is, four months, six months, nine months, we are going to be better for it. Manhatt from exchanging wedding vows. Atlanta braves star Freddy Freeman playing ball in the backyard with his son. The kid is like, forget this. Im done. All that, coronavirus isnt stopping the grand ole opry. The show goes on, even if no one is inside to hear it. To those on the front lines of this this war, god bless you. And all that matters. As you can see, i am here in quarantine. Obviously, i dont normally look like this. The quarantine has kind of, you know, affected my appearance. All right. This is what i look like normally. On cbs this morning. That was absolutely terrible. Weve come to expect from these two. Some are making the best out of these extraordinary circumstances including one rugby announcer who has been making do despite the cancellation of all sporting events. Hes got a decent start. Oh, hes a bit distracted. Over the shoulder and leggings is going to get there. She does it again. Three titles in three days for the lap of honor. Victorious. Ested yota. Ye opener humor wherever you can get it. Welcome to cbs this morning. Were coming to you from the historic ed sullivan theater, home to the late show with stephen colbert. The cbs Broadcast Center where we normally are is temporarily closed out of an abundance of caution. Were taking this very, very seriously as should you. Stephen and his team are on hiatus. Normally when i have weekends i dont go anywhere, im very excited. This weekend, knowing i had to stay home, i dont know if it was psychological, but all of a sudden, i was so bored, so hungry. I wanted people to talk to. Hungry is key. Jim gaffigan is on to something. Theres going to be a coronavirus 15 because people are sitting at home eating. If its only 15, were doing okay. Something about knowing you have to stay home but its important to do. We, of course, begin with the coronavirus and President Trump who has now approved major disaster declarations for new york, california and Washington State to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. Here is where we stand as of this morning. More than 35,000 people in the United States reported to be infected by the coronavirus outbreak. More than 470 people have died. Eight states have now ordered people to stay home to help slow the spread. This applies to more than 100 Million People or nearly 1 in 3 americans. On capitol hill, senators are back to negotiating this morning after they failed to agree on a nearly 2 trillion relief bill. All this as one senator has tested positive for the coronavirus. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Nancy, are we actually getting any closer to a deal . Leaders tell us they are close and that they hope they can wrap up their talks this morning after negotiating past midnight here at the capitol. Republicans say they have already made big concessions. Theyve already agreed to what some are calling Unemployment Insurance on steroids where the government would pay laidoff workers their previous salary for up to four months. But democrats were upset about what they called a new slush fund in this bill. 500 billion to help major companies. That money would be sent out at the discretion of treasury secretary mnuchin with limited oversight. There is agreement on a 350 billion package of grants and loans for small businesses. That could help keep them afloat for up to eight weeks. As well as those Cash Payments of 1200 to workers who make up to 75,000 a year. That will help a lot, too. Republican leader Mitch Mcconnell is still eager to hold a final vote on all of this today. All senators wanting to send that reassuring message to the markets, to workers. Absolutely. Nancy, senator rand paul was the first senator to test positive for the coronavirus. Do we know how he got it and who he might have given it to . Its hard to know for sure but we know he attended an event in early march in his home state of kentucky where two attendees later tested positive for coronavirus. Now senator paul says he didnt interact with those guests so he didnt selfquarantine at the time. In fact, while waiting for his test results he had lunch with his fellow republicans. He interacted with reporters here on the hill. He even worked out yesterday in the senate gym and swam in the senate pool. Some of his colleagues didnt take too kindly to that. In fact, senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told uim not a doctor, but its pretty obvious to me that until i got my test back, i should stay away from people. Now there are a couple of senators who are newly in selfquarantine because they came into such close contact with senator paul. And all of that is making it very complicated as senators prepare to vote on this massive 2 trillion package today. Hopefully theres a lot of chlorine in that pool, nancy. An. President trumps decision to approve disaster declarations for new york, california and Washington State could mean thousands of extra hospital beds, but hes been reluctant so far to take other steps. And hes still sending mixed signals about the severity of the crisis. Paula reid is at the white house for us. Good morning. So whats the president s position now . Good morning, tony. In a tweet last night, the president suggested that the current restrictions could be revisited as early as next week at the end of that 15day period established by the administration. The president has really been focused on trying to give people hope, even when that flies in the face of the best guidance from his medical experts. And last night he tweeted we cannot allow the cure to be worse than the problem itself. Im a wartime president. This is a war. Reporter as state governors announced he has activated the National Guard in states hit hardest by the outbreak. Today im announcing action to help new york, california and washington ensure that the National Guard can effectively respond to this crisis. Reporter governors will have leeway to use the National Guard as they see fit and could include assistance for medical facilities, Health Care Professionals and even law enforcement. But the president continued to send conflicting messages on using the defense production act which empowers the federal government to mobilize the private sector to increase the production of goods. State leaders like Governor Andrew Cuomo have asked president to employ the act. I think the president should order factories to manufacture masks, gowns, ventilators, the essential medical equipment thats going to make the difference between life and death. Reporter while the president signed it just last week well be invoking the defense production act. Reporter he says he doesnt actually want to use it. The concept of nationalizing our businesses is not a good concept. Reporter the Administration Says that companies have stepped up voluntarily but some governors in especially hardhit states like illinois are calling for a uniform approach. This should have been a coordinated effort by the federal government. Reporter the president insists this is not a one size fits all situation. Every state is different. I mean, idaho, west virginia, iowa, nebraska are much different than new york than california. Reporter the president could not say when the u. S. Will be back open for business but today Vice President mike pence said the white house will be issuing new guidance that could allow some workers who have been exposed to the virus to return to work more quickly by Wearing Masks for a period of time. Gayle . Thank you very much. Stayathome orders are now in place in eight states and all americans have been warned against holdi ining large gatherings. But not everybody is listening. California beaches were crowded over the weekend. New yorks Prospect Park was also busy, even though the state has more cases than anywhere else in the country. Governor cuomo made it clear that is not okay. Our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is reporting from his manhattan home. David, we understand the rules have gotten more strict since yesterday. Governor cuomo not happy. Hes not playing around, gayle. Youve heard a lot about new york, california and washington and for good reason. This morning were going to tell you about louisiana. Two weeks ago, the bayou state had zero cases confirmed. As of this morning, they are closing in on 900. Well take you to louisiana for that. But as gayle said, were going to begin in new york where the governor has said all nonessential gatherings, no matter how many people are involved in it, no one can gather together. The always bustling new york city is practically a ghost town. Most businesses have closed and the streets nearly empty. And there are similar scenes around the country with deserted tourist destinations in atlanta, georgia, all the way to californias hollywood walk of fame. Still, the governor of new york says hes personally seen parks, crowded with people, despite an order that he gave to stay at home. Its insensitive. Its arrogant. Its selfdestructive. Its disrespectful to other people. And it has to stop and it has to stop now. Reporter over the weekend in california, some people were still hiking and sun bathing. Even though theres an order there to stay at home, too. California along with new york and Washington State are starting to get federal disaster funds for mascar and other emergency programs. Some hospitals have set up tents in the parking lot to start triaging people before they even walk in the door. Covid19 is affecting people of all ages. Take 44yearold david lat. Hes a marathon runner and lawyer who founded the widely read blog called above the law. Hes now on a ventilator. At first doctors thought he might have the flu. It turned out to be coronavirus. His husband last spoke to him three days ago as david was in the icu. He didnt sound great. You know, he couldnt really talk for more than two seconds. So i just said, hi. He said he wasnt doing great. Said i love you. Hes in isolation . He is. Health professionals in some states continue to be worried about how the request to get more medical supplies and federal dollars are getting prioritized. Take louisiana for example. More than a Million People visited new orleans last month for mardi gras. Now louisianas governor says according to a study from the university of louisiana at lafayette, that state has the fastest growth rate of confirmed cases anywhere in the world. I want the nation to know how important it is and louisiana needs help. Reporter dr. Rebecca gee says louisiana is expected to become the epicenter of this pandemic when you look at cases per capita. Before i toss back, anthony, private companies are volunteering to help produce supplies and equipment. President trump said yesterday that haines and 3m are offering to make masks. Tesla and afford have offered to make ventilators. Were committed to speak with doctors and nurses on the front lines of the battle of coronavirus. They say getting basic protective equipment remains a big concern and they are fearful about their own safety and the safety of their loved ones. Its the first time weve ever been truly scared to come to work, but despite being scared, we are trained to save lives, and were committed to doing that. We are in a crisis state. We desperately need help. I implore authorities, government agencies, i implore the private sector to help us. Were putting our lives on the line. Look, i got infected, and i was wearing the protective equipment i needed to wear. We know that when we go in those rooms. And to further increase our risk of getting this virus and to further put our families at risk, intentionally, which is what this feels like. There are people that literally are wearing bandannas because they have Nothing Better than that to protect themselves from the respiratory droplets of patients who are infected with covid19. And i think thats a national shame. It feels unimaginable potentially being asked to use bandannas. I can tell you were not at that point yet in new york city. But i will be outraged if it gets to that point. I am embarrassed to say this, but prior to this, my husband and i had never gotten around to writing a will, but this weekend, that became one of our todo list items. Im scared for my loved ones. Im being as candid as i can be. Im no hero. But im not scared about myself. Im willing to bargain my own safety but am i willing to bargain the safety of my own child and my motherinlaw . That may be a bridge too far. Dr. Tara narula joins us. We heard one of the medical professionals say its the ffrts time theyve ever been desired go to work. What are they most concerned about . Well, anthony, last week when i talked to an e. R. Physician, she told me the thing that scares her most is leaving her kids without a mother. And that conversation about wills and code statstatus, that happening around the country with those Health Care Workers on the front line. Its not a question of if i get infected but when i get infected. You have to end, as medical professionals we define ourselves with words like strong and calm, in the eye of the storm. So for medical professionals to be saying they feel panicked and afraid is really unprecedented. And they feel afraid for their own health, for their familys health, for the fact that theyre going to have to be making terrible triage decisions about who lives and who dies and if youve never seen somebody gasping for air, it is a terrible thing to witness. And knowing that all you can do is stand there and watch them because you dont have a ventilator to intubate them, its terrifying. What steps can the hospital dorkss can the government do to make sure they have exactly what they need . What can be done now . We need everybody to step in and you heard david saying private companies are really moving on this. We need every single american who is listening to this and listening to the plea of the Health Care Workers to figure out what they can do to help in order to the government and the hospitals. We have Health Care Professionals getting emails. I got one this week saying that were going to be asked to reuse our masks for a day, for a week, until they get contaminated. You heard the discussion about bandannas and scarves. Thats rea horrifying. People are sharing on youtube videos about how to ventilate more than one patient with one ventilator. So we need to do a lot more. We need more. Quickly. We need more, and we hope we get it. Tara, thank you. The International Olympic Committee Says it is considering delaying this summers games in japan. Canada and australia have already said theyll not send teams if the olympics are held this year. The death toll from the pandemic continues to soar across europe where italy faces the biggest challenge. Our Elizabeth Palmer reports from london. Reporter for italian doctors and nurses this has become an effort in determination. The lockdown is strict. Big cities have never looked so empty. And yet more people are dying of coronavirus in italy than anywhere else on earth. But there is a gleam of good news. The rate of infection is definitely slowing. And the number of deaths over the weekend dropped quite sharply. Spain has the second largest outbreak in europe. The government is extending the state of emergency for two more weeks. Here in britain, though people can go out and about freely, the Prime Minister had a warning. Dont think that fresh air in itself automatically provides some immunity. You have to stay two meters apart. Reporter in most countries, but china, the coronavirus is still spreading. But in wuhan, where this all began, restrictions are starting to be lifted and life is slowly returning to normal. There have been no new cases for the fourth day running. For cbs this morning, im Elizabeth Palmer in london. Normal. We all look forward to that. Seems like its a long way off. Ahead, well talk to the u. S.

Were coming to you once again from the ed sullivan theater in new york because our cbs Broadcast Center is closed. Im gayle king with Anthony Mason and tony dokoupil. The president announced efforts to get crucial supplies like masks and gloves and surgical gowns amid shortages in the country. The u. S. Surgeon general dr. Jerome adams joins us from washington, a member of the Coronavirus Task force. Thank you so much for joining us. Were hearing heartbreaking stories from doctors who say they cannot get the basics. For the first time were hearing doctors say im scared. Im scared of leaving my children without a parent because i could possibly die doing the job that i love to do. What can you say to these people it is no longer good enough to say were working on it, help it on the way. You have to help us understand why this is so difficult and what you are doing to remedy the situation. Good morning. And i didnt expect to be starting off my week with such a dire message for america. But the numbers are going to get worse this week. Things are going to get worse before they get better. And we really need everyone to understand this is serious to lean into what they could do to flatten the curve. And you talk about Health Care Workers. Im getting those calls every minute of the day. I got calls from people while i was sitting here waiting to talk to you and i want the Health Care Workers to understand these where these are my colleagues and my friends and i will not rest until you have the tools you need to keep yourself safe. Why is this so difficult, dr. Adams, weve heard this a gazillion times, why is this so difficult. And im not trying to be disrespectful but people are so frustrated with yall. And i tell you why it is different. The National Stockpile purchased onetenth of 1 of all medical supplies in the country. The rest is in the market. So were doing a couple of things and i want people to know the tangible actions were taking. Were using the stockpile through fema activated to level one to send out supplies and we sent out over 2 million masks. There are supplies going out to the places most at need. Washington, california, new york. We have the military out on the ground in several of the places, we sent out cdc teams to provide backup. Weve worked with the American Society of anesthesiologist to identify 70,000 ventilators that could be converted. So supplies are going out. We know theyre not going out fast enough to keep pace with the demand and that is why the most Important Message i have for america is were half way through our 15 days to stop the spread and we need to turn the spigot off. We cant ventilate our way out of this problem. We need to make sure that in addition to getting supplies to people, that were focusing on demand and getting people out of the streets. Stay at home. Dr. Adams, the president signed the defense production act. He can essentially Order Companies to manufacture these supplies, the medical proales definitely need at this point. Why isnt the government doing that . The government is using the defense production act to get people to the table. We worked with 3m and honeywell. They are at max production. You dont need to compel someone to do something they are already doing. So every single day there are people looking and saying do we need to compel someone to do this. Lets make the call. Okay, theyre already at max production and working around the clock. And again we are using the stockpile and fema to get resources out to people who need it. Were finding new innovative people stepping up like haines. Doctor, were hearing reports of shortages on personal protective equipment and youre saying were at max production. Does that mean shortages are just going to be the way it is. Well we know there are going to be shortages in some areas and it is why i wrote an oped calling on people to stop elective surgeries. We need to make sure the supplies are getting to new york, california, washington, to the places they need and they cant get there if people are out somewhere elsewhere they dont see cases right now doctor we want to move the personal protective equipment and supplies to where it is needed and that is supply and driving down the demand. And doctor, i would like to ask you about things getting worse and when we might be able to pull back restrictions on the movement. The president tweeted we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself and i think people would agree, this economic shutdown is painful for people but from a medical perspective, realisticallll bac to anything like normal . Well we know it is going to tol. While before life gets back and here is what i want america to know. We dont want to wait for 15 days, we dont want to wait another day. Im looking at im driving in and seeing people out all over the place getting ready for cherry blossoms. You look on the news and see people still at beaches. We dont have a day to waste. And we need to focus on today, this hour, right now. Doctor, how far away from the peak of this do you think we are . Because some people have said it is not before the end of april . Well when you look at the china data, they were able to hit the peak and come back down in about six to eight weeks. And when you look at the italy data, theyre still going up. So were somewhere between the two and it is up to everyone coming together to drive down demand to determine whether our current bends in the direction of china in six to eight weeks or bends toward italy andatelye approaching italy. Why . Because the numbers of cases reflect what happened two weeks ago. And too many people are waiting too long to really take these 15 days to stop the spread Initiative China didnt have voluntarily restrictions and they were much more draconian than that. Do you think we need more stringent recommendations. In the United States we have a system of federalism and the governors are in charge of determining what is appropriate for their states. And weve worked well with most of the governors. We need everyone, if you arent seeing cases right now, now is the time to be making sure youre doing the things so that you dont become the next new york or the next italy. Dr. Jerome adams, thank you so much for being with us this morning. And if you are healthy you can still give blood. Thanks, dr. Adams.

Scattered showers, cooler temperatures, the dryer, milder temperatures. 62 in san jose its monday, march 23rd, 2020. Back back to cbs this morning. Im gayle king. We spoke to the white house about the shortage of medical supplies to fight the coronavirus. And some potentially dangerous scams are popping up in the time of crisis. Well tell you how to avoid possible fraud. And nothing says social distancing like a trip to outer space. An astronaut will give us tips on how to cope in isolation. First, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. Major disas. Senators are negotiating this morning after they failed to agree on a nearly 2 trillion relief bill. Leaders tell us theyre close and they hope they can wrap up their talks this morning after negotiating past midnight. The current restrictions could be revisited at the end of the 15day period established by the administration. Youve heard about new york, california and washington and for good reason. This morning were going to tell you about louisiana. Two weeks they had zero cases confirmed. As of this morning, theyre closing in on 900. We define ourselves with words like strong and calm. For medical professionals to say theyre afraid and panicked is unprecedented. We knew she was a professional singer, but who knew rita wilson could wrap . Whooil recovering in australia, th actressin some fun with the naughty by nature classic. Hip hop hooray. Want to hear more from rita, and we will. Welcome back. Were still here because the cbs Broadcast Center in manhattan is closed out of an abundance of caution. Stephen colbert is on hiatus. Thats lucky for us. They allowed us to stay here for another week. The numbers from the coronavirus are staggered. More than 35,000 cases in the u. S. And more than 470 deaths. This time last week there were about 3700 reported cases. Thats a jump of about 830 . The outbreak is hammering the economy. Is that rights may try t pas democratedec a prior versn saying it did too little to protector workers and too much to help corporations and the rich. Meanwhile the white house has authorized National Guard callups in three of the hardest hit states california, washington, and new york. Governors will give the troops their assignments but the federal government will foot the bill. Cbs news medical contributor david agus has been in contact with the white house about the coronavirus. He joins us to discuss the federal governments response and getting enough medical supplies to tackle the virus. Id like to begin with the possibility of an Antibody Test to tell if the virus has been in somebodys system. How would it work and why might it be helpful . Across the country many people are having mild symptoms and told to stay home because of the shortage of tests. Theyre not being tested. At some point you have to know whether you were exposed to the virus or not. And in the next several weeks this test will be launched, hopefully sooner. The power is if youve been exposed, with we know for several months we dont know longterm. Its several months youre immuned if youre exposed and recovered. We could have people toe worker who wont get sick if theyre exposed again to the virus. This is critical to round two of fighting the virus. Were hearing stories about Healthy People having it and passing it on. Weve heard about basketball players that have tested positive feeling healthy. There are reports they passed it on. How do you deal with Something Like that . Well, i mean, thats difficult, because when you dont know you have it, you mean to do well but you go out and take liberties you probably shouldnt and you can spread the virus. Thats what were concerned about. But those people also can be our front line. Theyre not going to get the virus again at least in the shortterm, and so they could be out there as volunteers helping all of us to protect the elderly and the people with medical conditions who cant get the virus. Why is 15 days the magic number number . Why realistic is that really . Thats a great question. The answer is we dont know. So when we make interventions like we all have done this last week, the whole country has come through in such an amazing and positive way. Classically it takes seven to 10 to 12 days to see the impact of the changes out virus, because the incubation period of the virus. The assumption is 15 days well know where we are and the hope is weve dspad of the virus. If we decrease spread of the virus, were not going to overwhelm our medical infrastructure. Weve been given time to prevent spread. We need that time. David, from where you are and what you know, how dire is the medical supply shortage . Well, the medical supply shortage is in two buckets. Supply the masks and gowns and then its the drugs to treat it. The masks and the gowns were starting to see easing of supply. Its not where it needs to be. But companies are stepping up. People are making them. People are making hand sanitizers. Alcoholbased companies. Its that part thats exciting. I think it offer hope. In terms of drugs or therapeutics, were seeing bigger supplies come in this week. When the president announced the drug that may be effective against the virus, nationwide doctors prescribed it. Were now low on the drug. More is coming in this week. Were starting to get a little bit encouraged were going to hit some of the supply issues. You know, i think were all stepping up. Whether they be the government or doctors or the whole of america to really make an impact on the disease and certainly play offense instead of defense. You just gave me a new phrase, stepping up. Stay home, stay safe, step up. Always good to have you with us. Ahead, well talk to our anna werner about thepike in the alleged scams related to the coronavirus pandemic, and whats being done to st and and and live claritin clear. All the way out here just for a blurry photo of me. Oh, thats a good one. Wait, whats that . Thats just the lowbattery warning. Oh, alright. Now its all, check out my rv, and, lets go fourwheeling. Maybe theres a little part of me that wanted to be seen. Well, progressive helps people save when they bundle their home with their outdoor vehicles. So theyve got other things to do now, bigfoot. Wait, whatd you just call me . Bigfoot . My name is daryl. We have much more news ahead, we have more news ahead including advice an how to space out in isolation but stay productive.

We are here for you now, and in all the better days ahead. I lost my sight when the world by touch. E when dove asked me to try out this body wash. I was excited that it was foam. It was so light. And soft. Not sticky. Its light. Its different. Its foam. And the breadwinner arrives home from a long day at work. Now the family can sit down at the table, where everyone knows to be mindful of their manners. Dinnertime has changed. Our quality hasnt. Reynolds wrap foil made in the usa since 1947. The Justice Department has filed its first enforcement action against alleged coronavirus fraud. It obtained a temporary restraining order against the website coronavirusmedicalkit. Com. Prosecutors say the site claimed to offer consumers access to medical kits from the world health organization. There are currently nov vaccine to treat this disease. We are joined by anna werner. What did this website claim to offer . So basically gayle this website was claiming to offer vaccine kits from the world health organization. They said if you added water, it works. You pay 4. 95 in shipping for the kit. Of course, we know there are novak seen kits available. The only people doing the tests are state and local labs and yet, there are scammers out there who are trying to convince people hey, theres something that you can order, you can use it at home, and if you do happen to see one of these kinds of things, you can contact your state attorney generals office. But no, these are not vaccine kits and there are none available. Thats such a crappy thing to do to anybody. Are there any at home approved testing kits anywhere that are legit . No. There arent. Im glad you asked that. I think its really important to make sure to people there are no at home testing kits. The fda has not authorized any home testing kits for use. If you see something that says you can test yourself at home, its not a real deal here. Is the government seeing a lot of these scams, anna . So i found Something Interesting over the weekend. So customs and Border Protection has been tweeting out photos of items that it has seized. One of them is sort of like a box of little viles. They showed pictures on twitter of things that people are saying are either at home treatments or they are or they are one of them the treatment is a treatment kit. The acting Commission Said police in the uk arrested a man for selling the kits. The other are kits that were labeled as purified water viles. So these are the kind of things that people who are you might call them creative or scammers, frankly, are saying i can make a quick buck off of this, sell something to people and one of the things, the cbp said had some what might be dangerous ingredients. And what are people listening to when it comes to robo calls . Well, you know, the robo callers have jumped. In im sure youre not surprised. They are saying we can clean your home air ducts for coronavirus and air filters. Were going to help you with your student loan payments. Youve heard that one before, and even the Social Security scammers are jumping in and saying hey, theres going to be something with the coronavirus and your Social Security number. So be careful about these calls. If you get one, hang up. Be careful. Scammers are going to scam. An that, thank you. We appreciate it. Ahead, retired general gives us perspective on leadership during challenging times. Which it is. Why he says the governments Coronavirus Response reminds him of the early months of fighting al qaeda in iraq. Youre watching cbs this morning. California phones offers free specialized phones.

Call or visit [car[clicking of ignition]rt] uh wha woof eeh woof wuh [silence] [engine roars to life] [dog howls] dramatic opera music swells from radio [howling continues] in times of crisis we look to our leader for inspiration, of course. Retired fourstar general Stanley Mcchrystal is very familiar with the stresses of leadership during turbulent times. He commanded forces in afghanistan and led joint operations command, the premier military counterterrorism force. In 2015 he cowrote team of team teams, a book about leadership. He wrote about fighting abroad, businesses, and other organizations. General stanley mckristy joichrs us from outside of washington, d. C. Thank you so much for being here. Thanks for having me. President trump is doing a very difficult thing. Hes trying to balance a hopeful message for the country, we will get through this, with the coldhard realities that many of his medical advisers are giving him which is this is going to get worse. What ad vikinvice would you have tries to navigate the two poles and faces criticism that hes being more hopeful than truthful . The beginning of d take lessons the civil war with abraham liber Abraham Lincoln or the new deal with Franklin Roosevelt or december 8th, 1941, what those leaders did was they outlined a difficult problem ahead. They exhibited confidence that we would come through in the end. But they didnt try to minimize it. They said it was going to be difficult. We were going to demand a lot of the American People and, of course, a lot of our leaders. And then they proceeded to live up to that. Thats what i think is needed right now. So why is candor so important . Well because you can lie to anybody for a little while, and then after a while, everybody figures it out. And your credibility goes down. Particularly i think in combat. Soldiers see whats happening on the ground. Trying to tell them its different than it is is a waste of time. So its respect to be honest to people. General, how do you get honest with people without spreading panic . Well, the the size of this kind of problem, particularly the different nature, the idea of pandemc is a little bit frightening. I think the first thing you is say this is a big problem, but we are a big country. A big world, we can do this together. I think what you say is we are going to break every resource bring every resource, every leader, the capability of every part of our nation and the world against this problem. There will be a little panic on the part of people, but at the end of the day if you dont exhibit this kind of focus, this kind of absolute commitment, they will fill their minds with all the things that frighten them. I think youre so right about that. It reminds me of the famous line in the movie you cant handle the truth. We can handle the truth, then we know exactly what were dealing with. Thats very important so you make a good point. I love the tease tony said going to you, you compare the governments response, this crisis reminds you to the early months of fighting al qaeda. Pwhat did you mean by that . Well, this is a new challenge to this. When we started fighting jake in iraq, they were a different kind of enemy. They were this vastly disbursed organization that didnt follow traditional hierarchy, though most terrorist groups had. We were purpose built to go after the traditional kind of terrorist groups. What we had to do was geographically disburse ourselves over 76 bases. We had to synchronize ourselves every day. We became a virtual command, not because it was a great idea that one of us had, but because we had to do that. Thats essentially whats happening right now. The coronavirus is a difficult economic problem, its a Difficult Health problem. But its creating a special dynamic. That is the requirement to stay separated. So businesses, government have all got to operate with people working from home in a new environment. We can do this, we know how to do this, but weve got to focus. General, you bring up an interesting point which is a question of tradeoffs. We are effectively sacrificing our economy and everybody in that economy for the sake of public health. Thats a complicated equation. As somebody who im sure has had to make calculations regarding peoples lives and safety, how do you balance, one economic health, which can Public Public health, against lives and and illness . Yeah. The particular nature of this pandemic in my view requires its the fire thats in front of us now. We have to get that under control. Or it will burn for a tremendous amount of time. I think that theres going to be shortterm economic pain, and its going to be significant. I think Everybody Knows that by now. If we dont do the kind of actions that are required, government intervention, stay at home, social distancing, then this thing could get much worse than it would be and, of course, could lakefront much longer than could last much longer than it should. We know youre currently advising a local hospital. Weve been talking all morning about the desperate need for supplies and resources that hospitals are experiencing. What is that hospital telling you . What are you telling them in a situation like this . Well, its interesting. Its a big hospital system, and whats going to happen is they are going to be overwhelmed, like all hospital systems, and i think whats going to happen is many of the workers are going to start to feel abandoned. Theyre going to be out there working tremendous number of hours. Theyre going to be at risk. Theyre going to be simultaneously worried about their families. They will probably be under resourced in things they need. Theres a Great Potential for them to feel as though theyre care of people as well as they think they should, but also that theyre not being supported. We can go on tv and say how much we care forprices, but they will feel like soldiers on the front line who are not getting what they need. Its important to create communities of action, the leadership of the hospital system, a strong leader general, forgive me heyve got t this is a kpix 5 news update. Good morning, it is a 25. If you plan on going into any of the bay bridge areas this morning, all seven are cashless until further notice for safety reasons, there are no toll takers at any bridge.

This is stephen colbert, his digs, where we normally broadcast, the cbs Broadcast Center, is closed for the time being. But were still soldiering on, if you will. Were going to bring you stories that we call talk of the table. One of my favorite features that we do here. We each pick a story that we like to share with all of you and with us, too. Anthony, youre first. All right. You remember last week we showed a man who leaned out of his window in boston and sang a coronavirus version of sweet caroline, great, right . Yes. The man himself, neil diamond has gotten into the act. Yes. He has a new version of the song sweet caroline aimed at helping slow the coronavirus. Take a look. Hands washing hands reaching out dont touch me i wont touch you he goes i wont touch you go, neil. He says maybe if we sing together, we might feel a little bit better. I feel better just seeing him. Great to see him. I love the new version. Tony . What do i got . Theres a sportscaster named nick heath. Hes over in london. And before he became a broadcaster, he wanted to be a dead inny writer. While comedy writer. While on hiatus, no sports to play, he combined the two. Youll get more now. Hes been entertaining people by doing playbyplay of ordinary scenes around his neighborhood in london. Take a look. So theres the international fourbyfour push chair final. Weve got the upfronts pair, of course, from sweden. And theyre in with the brits here. Light turns to red, we wait for the beats there they are. Hes got a decent start. Leggings on the i love that one. Leggings on the outside. I love the swedish couple, johansson and erickson. Beautiful. Hes had quite a number of videos. Theyre popular, about two million views. Hes blown away by the love. We played all of them at our house over the weekend. Theyre terrific. Laughing is a good thing. We have more good news. Mine also involves singing from Actor Tom Hanks and his wife rita wilson on their coronavirus diagnosis. Now hanks tweeted this, two weeks after our first symptoms and we feel better. Going to take a while, but if we take care of each other and help where we can and give up some smallfo, l pass. I can hear toms voice saying that. And this is where the singing part comes in. Rita is keeping it real with hiphop. With the freestyle phantom aint trying to be handssome clinking what youre thinking because im vamping i live in hiphop this is hip half hooray ho hey ho hey what knew rita wilson goes for hiphop . The song is hip hip parade by naughty by nature. I reached out and said, i think in is hilarious. She said she had done it in a movie years ago called boy genius, and had memorized it. She said, i wanted to see if i could still remember it, you know, sort of working with my brain to see if i could still remember it, and she did. I said, it is blowing up over here. Youre not seeing it, but its getting played here. Good job, rita win. Good theyre both getting better. Its impressive she could remember. Great to hear for her. I thought what an odd choice, she said, no, it was in aovie. I ul rita a hipp toer. Sh gtit, isolated ay spending time aboard the International Space station. Nasas peggy wlits son did that for whitson did that for longer than any other american. She spent 665 days in space, including a stretch lasting more than nine months, earning her the nickname the space ninja. Peggy whitson, the space ninja, joins us for practical advice on handling isolation from her home near austin, texas. Pell peggy whitson, good morning. Good morning. How are you folks doing . Were doing okay. Tell us how to do this. Youre way better at it than we are. Yeah. Well, its actually very doable. But it its very importance to be able to interact well with the people youre staying with, youre living with. A lot of people are trying to work from home and trying to be parents from home and have a family at home. It becomes very challenging. Thats justi like what we did o the International Space station. Our crew became our family in orbit. And we had to not only work with them all throughout the day, but we couldnt go home at night. We stayed there on board the station and had to interact, as well. It became something that we did on a routine basis. And i think those interactions are very important, and we actually train our astronauts to improve those skills because we want everyone to play well with others on board the space station. You dont get to pick your crew. Youre just going to be up there, and you have to make the best of whatever situation. A lot and also our lives depend on each other, so its important. Thats true. It certainly feels like your life depends on the people in your household now getting through the day, as the hours roll by. As people feel restless like you whre skills thatan nymore. Ap to get through . , we call them expeditionary crew skills, but they include teamwork in group living, and recognizing that the team purpose is the most important, and covid19 gives us a very higher purpose, much like being in space does, because we are saving lives by quarantining. And so it is important to understand that bigger purpose and to embrace that purpose to give you reason and rationale for continuing to put up with the situation. And then theres the actual interactions that you do with the people that youre living with. And yeah you have to be able to communicate effectively. For most that is the most important thing you have to be that we also had these ideas that we think were communicating and we have to make sure that thats actually our intent thats hidden in our peggy, what if there are no others to play with other than yourself . Im sitting here thinking i never get bored when im normally. I never get bored, but knowing i couldnt leave the house, my apartment seemed very boring. Did you ever get bored in space, number one, when you were there . And what advice do you have for people that dont have others to play with . Thats a really good point, gayle. I think that first, did you ever get bored . Space . On board did you ever bored . Not really. Because i i always had the option to look out the window, and it was always an amazing view. Ill try that. Down here down here, the other thing i always used to do is test lists. I would do the extra extra work that i had been thinking about doing or that i wanted to organize. Think about things that, you know, having time, you know, so much of our lives these days is so busy and cluttered, and what are the what are the things that you would do if you had more time . Is it to read . Is it is it maybe to write poetry or do art . What is it that that, you know, has been the thing thats in the back of your head clean closets. That ive never had time. Clean closets. Thats what i said. If you didnt get bored, did you get restless . 665 days in the space station . Actually, i didnt. Its such an amazing experience. I i thinking about part of something thats bigger than me, being part of exploration was really, really Something Special to be a part of. So even if i was just cleaning the the fan filtration vents, it was still keeping the space station alive and being part of exploration. Thats true. All right. Peggy whitson, thank you so much. Meanwhile back on earth, ive been boring my wife terribly. I dont believe that. I told her a story i dont think katys board with you. Wife come to the level of im telling anecdotes about fifth grade Football Games and i scored three touchdowns that could be a snoozer. I was acting them out. Just for added equipment. Governor cuomo said he was starting to get annoyed at his dog. I saw that. Not a good sign. All right, peggy whitson, thank you so much. Ahead, a popular d. J.

And i realized outside of just missing my family that the other most important thing to me was the crowd, d. J. Ing for people. I woke up at 4 00 in the morning and decided i wanted to throw a party. It was supposed to be just for my friends. Just a few friends on instagram. And then it turned into i was literally just playing music from my laptop. And the next day, i hooked up the turn tables, and then i noticed that the crowd started to grow. John legends in there, you know, i called Dave Chappelle p up, he jumped in. And then j. Lo and drake arrived. The saturday night party was everything. It was like everyone was there. I know. What surprised you the most . You seem to get very excited when you said Mark Zuckerberg has joined. You could see how surprised you you seemed to get a big kick out of that. You thought it was funny, too. Mark zuckerberg likes music. He likes to play. I loved that part. When mark jumped it, it was exciting. The part that touched me the most was i put in the call to see if i could get the former first lady in there. I wasnt sure. The moment she popped in, i just froze. Its not like i havent d. J. d for her before, i froze up. The music faded, i was like, i know what she loves. She loves beyonce. It was awesome. When you look down and you see theres 160,000 people in the room, what do you think . I mean, im like, wow, this is pretty much the equivalent of like two stadiums of people just listening to music. And at that point, you asked the question earlier about playlist. I dont have a playlist, i literally play what feels good. You know, i wanted people to feel good. I wanted the experience to be lifted through music. One, you know, one song at a time. It was definitely happening. Thats why you are 160,000 tune in. What is it about music that people need right now . I think i mean, music has always been a great escape. You know, like you can just feel good. No matter what your problems are. You put on a good tune, and it just takes you away. And i was trying to do that through the music. And also, what was what was great, it was the other opponent, that people were in a chat room. And the beauty of it is it initially started with my friends pretending they were inside of a club. Like hey, well pack it hey, im meet you at the bar. Hey, who let this person in . And it was just the whole experience was fun. It wasnt just the music. It was just the experience of everyone just kind of escaping, you know, whats going on today just for a few hours. I know. You are so used to playing to large crowds. How different was it . Youre alone, too, when youre playing the music. Was it a weird feeling for you, too . I guess the weird part was that my neighbors were complaining that the music was see loud. I understand im like, if they only knew. Gayle king is in here, Michelle Obamas in here. I have to play this music. Nice, you were performing a public service. And part of the fun was watching you change your hats. Throughout the evening, time for a hat change. That became a thing.
