Then, bill gates, who has spent billions on Public Health and warned the world five years ago. If anything kills over 10 Million People in the next few decades, its most likely to be a highly infectious virus. Chris we will ask gates with the u. S. And the world need to do now. And governors fight over medical supplies. Its like being on ebay with 50 other states bidding on a ventilator. Chris we will ask michigans brett Gretchen Whitmer on her state and skyrocketing an employment there. Because our sunday panel over congress and the white house thn aid is spent. And finding ways to stay connected and lift spirits through song. All right now on fox news sunday. Chris and hello again from fox news in washington. There are now more than 300,000 cases of coronavirus here in the u. S. And thats from a virus increased by more than 1300 in just the last 24 hours. But President Trump says the country must prepare for even worse with this warning. This will ba the toughest week between this week and next week and there will be a lot of deaths, unfortunately. Chris here are the latest developments. 41 states and the district of columbia now issuing stayathome orders, and new guidance from the cdc encouraging people to wear a face mask outside even though President Trump says he wont. In a moment we will speak with the Surgeon General, dr. Jerome adams. But first, lets bring a marked narrative, reporting from the white house with the latest from the front lines mark. Chris, the President Task force said its focused on places like detroit, chicago and orland. Cities were covid19 cases are on the rise in the president is ordering at least 1,000 medical personnel to new york to fight the virus. Every day when i go to work i feel like a sheep going to slaughter. Americas medical Community Faces a grim reality as the coronavirus spreads nationwide, many fear theres not enough equipment, staff, or supplies to save lives. We are demanding from this hospital the protections that we new yorks governor says hes shifting resources to help hospitals most in need. Im not going to let people die because we didnt redistribute ventilators. The National Guard are going to be deployed to pick up these ventilators, which are all across the state, and deploy them to places where we need them. In new york state alone, at least 3500 people have died and the president says the worst is yet to come. We are getting to the point where its going to really be some very bad numbers. The government is increasing its supply of hydroxychloroquine, a drug normally used to treat malaria, but Health Experts stress theres no guarantee the drug will save lives. It is definitely overwhelming to know that in my blood there may be answers. People once infected are now helping researchers test treatments. The fda is examining the use of plasma from recovered patients to treat the sick. The cdc is now urging americans to use a cloth face mask while out on the public, but the president set on friday, chris, he does not plan to use one himself, chris. Chris Mark Meredith reporting from the white house. Mark, thanks. And joining us now, the u. S. Surgeon general, vice admiral jerome adams. Actor adams, u. S. Is now reporting 30,000 new cases a day and i want to put up a chart thf cases in italy and china, which have leveled off and are now going down and the curve on the far right there here in the u. S. , which is still in the early stages and still headed up sharply. Given the course of the disease in china and italy and that we are weeks or months behind them, how bad is this epidemic going to be in america and how long will it last . Dr. Adams well, its tragically fitting that we are talking at the beginning of holy week because this is going to be the hardest and the saddest week of most americans lives, quite frankly. This is going to be our pearl harbor moment, our 9 11 moment only its not going to be localized, its going to be happening all over the country and i want america to understand that. But i also want them to understand that the public, along with the state and the federal government, have the power to change the trajectory of this epidemic. You mentioned italy and spain. They had a very, very hard time and they are still having a hard time, but they seem to have reached their peak and are coming back down on the other side. You say weeks, months, behind. I would actually books back a little bit. When you look at their trajectory from about a month ago is when they really started to lean into their aggressive mitigation efforts. There really aggressive mitigation efforts so i want americans to understand that as hard as this week is going to be, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. If everyone does their part for the next 30 days. We are seeing washington, where they started, doing a much better job. Californias trajectory has leveled off, so there is hope, but we cant all do our part. Chris lets talk about mitigation, because the president s top Health Advisors, including you, say the most important thing we can do, all of us, is to stay at home, and yet there are still nine states there are still nine states with millions of americans that still have not issued stayathome orders. President trump was asked about that this week, here he is. The governors know what theyre doing. If theyve been doing a great job. I guess we are close to 90 anyway. And states that we are talking about are not in jeopardy. I would leave it to the governors. Chris but dr. Adams, the coronavirus is not a state iss issue, it doesnt follow or respect state borders. Dr. Fauci says he believes there should be a national stayathome order. Is he wrong . Dr. Adams well, chris, its important to understand that most people across the country are doing the right thing. Over 90 of the country is staying at home and a good proportion, more than average, staying home even in those nine states but the last time you and i talked it was about opioids. People dont know, but ive run a state department of health, ive been involved in health for years and they dont respect the state lines but we live in a country where we have a system of federalism and when it comes to opioids, states have different rules and regulations and laws regarding treatment, regarding Syringe Service programs as you and i have talked about. I actually put out a report on tobacco earlier this year and we know that states have different laws there and more people will die even in the worst projections from cigarette smoking in this country than are going to die from coronavirus this year. And so, we always been struggling with trying to get information out to guide people that we know will help them be healthy with states rights, but its why we put out these three days 30 days to stop the spread guidelines. These are essentially our national stayathome order and were working with governors to figure out their needs, their desires. One more important point, the nine states that havent yet done shelter in place orders are states that actually produce a large amount of our food. So theyre struggling with issues concerning how they can provide for the rest of the country to be able to stay at home, but right now what i would say to those governors is if you cant give us a month, give us what you can. Give us a week. Give us whatever you can to stay at home during this particularly tough time were going to be hitting our peak over the next 710 days. Chris but dr. Adams, theres a big difference between opioids and cigarettes. Something that people decide to use or not to use and the coronavirus, which people catch. Its not an individual choice. And you know, one President Trump says that he is a wartime president , during world war ii, fdr didnt say, well, its up to each state to decide to do, he mobilized the nation. Again, why not a national stayathome order . The coronavirus doesnt recognize states rights, so does the federal analogy really work here . Dr. Adams well, chris, i know a week ago is forever and coronavirus time, but i would remind people that was just a week ago when the idea of a federal quarantine for the new york city area was being floated in Governor Cuomo so that would be like declaring war on the state. The governors are intensely protective of their right, and rightly so, to be able to decide whats best for their states and we are going to do everything we can as scientists and as medical professionals to help them understand what we think the right thing is for them to do and so i just want everyone to know that, national perspective, the Surgeon General is saying no matter where you are, stay at home. At least give us a week or two if you can. We want you to do it for 30 days but even those nine states, give us what you can so we can get this peak start to come down on the other side. Chris dr. Adams, for days, President Trump has been talking about hydroxychloroquine as a possible treatment for people with the coronavirus. But yesterday in his briefing he took it even further, take a look. What do you have to lose . In some cases they are in bad shape. What do you have to lose . I may take it and i will have to ask my doctors about that but i may take it. Chris dr. Adams, as the nations top Public Health official, are you comfortable with people taking an unproven, untested drug, even people who dont actually have the virus . Dr. Adams here is what we have advised the president and heres what ive heard him say consistently. When people are in a tragic situation where there in a hospital or a loved one is in the hospital with covid19, we want them to be able to have a conversation with their Health Care Provider about everything that they could possibly do to save their lives. There is some account, some stories out there, regarding hydroxychloroquine helping and we know its been available for years, so we feel a little bit better regarding its safety than we do about a complete novel drug, even though this is being used at much higher doses, so we just want to able to facilitate physicians and patients having the conversation. If thats i tell people, thats what i for the president tell people. Chris finally, ive got about a minute left ear, dr. Adams, the cdc now recommends that people use face coverings in public and in fact you are in a cdc video in which you show people how to make a mask themselves that they can wear, but President Trump was clear that he is not going to be following that guidance. Take a look here, sir. I think wearing a face mask as a great president , prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, somehow i dont see it for myself. Chris does that statement by the president send a mixed message about taking this recommendation seriously . Dr. Adams well, if you look at the cdc guidelines, they actually emphasized that number one, they are voluntary, and number two, and the most important part of this as they are not a substitute for social distancing. I was at the white house yesterday. Im going there immediately after this. The white House Doctors and secret service are taking pains to make sure everyone is social distancing in regards to the president , the Vice President and each other, and so the president is making a choice what i want americans to know is if youre going out in public under going to be closer than 6 feet other people, you can use a cloth facial covering. Heres mine that i made, very easy to use. And it protects you, chris, from me. We want people to understand this you are wearing this not to protect yourself, youre using it to protect your neighbor, and thats what this week is going to be are not without. People wearing cloth facial coverings if they have to go out in public to protect her neighbor. Its going to be a test of our resolve, its going to the test of our lives, but im confident that we can come out on the other side based on the data based on what i know about the american people. Chris dr. Adams, thank you. Thanks for your time during these very busy days, please come back, sir. Dr. Adams thank you. Chris up next, bill gates, who has spent billions on Public Health and who warned the world five years ago about the threat from a pandemic. I recently spoke to a group of students about being a scientist at 3m. I wanted them to know that innovation is not just about that one aha moment. Science is a process. It takes time, dedication. Its a journey. Were constantly asking ourselves, how can we do things better and better . what we make has to work. We strive to protect you. At 3m, were in pursuit of solutions that make peoples lives better. Thweve never seen it look quite like this. At 3m, were in pursuit of solutions but theres no mistaking it. And its our job to protect it. Because the best people to fight for our communities are those within them. So if youve just bought a volkswagen, or were thinking of buying sometime soon, were here to help with the communitydriven promise. Chris i want to play a clip for you its been viewed more than 26 million times. If anything kills over 10 Million People in the next few decades, its most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war. Not missiles, but microbes. Chris that was bill gates back in 2015, five years ago, warning about precisely the kind of threat we are all facing right now. Since then, gates has been doing everything he can to prevent a pandemic. Two months ago, the Gates Foundation committed 100 million to fight the coronavirus. Earlier i sat down with bill gates to discuss what we need to do now. Chris bill, it took four months to reach half a million cases around the world and seven days to add another halfmillion cases. So how dangerous, how fearsome is this virus, and how do you see this epidemic playing out in the u. S. . Bill well this is a nightmare scenario because human to human transmission will respiratory viruses can grow exponentially and if we had kept on going to work, traveling like we were, you know, that curve would never bend until you have the majority of the people infected and then a massive number seeking hospital care and lots and lots of death, so we had to use quarantine, which is an old thing back from the days of the plague as our primary tool. Fortunately, if we use that well enough, we should towards the end of this month start to see those numbers level off and then if we continue countrywide and we are testing the right people to understand whats going on, which is not the case yet, those numbers will start to go down te degree of opening back up. Chris President Trumps top Health Advisors are talking about somewhere between 10,240,000 deaths over the next two months. Does that sound about right to you in terms of the lethality and the length of the outbreak here in the u. S. . Bill well, if we do the social distancing properly we should be able to get out of this with the death number well short of that. Its very important that those numbers are out there because a lot of people are still thinking, hey this is like normal. If not waking up every day to a completely new reality. So i was very glad that those are out there, dr. Fauci is doing a very good job of saying the numbers are what count here and you know, the various models that we in the university do, show that without this dramatic behavior change you could even get worse than that, but i do think if we get the testing fixed, we get all 50 states involved, we will be below that. Of course we will pay a huge economic price in order to achieve that. Chris you say that if we do everything right now in terms of testing and shutting the country down, that we should have only one wave of this virus. Why are you so confident . Because a lot of people arent so sure that we are not going to have a recurrence when we get another flu season next fall. Bill we dont know how seasonal this viruses. It would probably be good for the Northern Hemisphere if the force of infection goes down when we get into spring and summer and give us some time to get both the drugs and advanced the vaccine. It is fair to say things wont go back to truly normal until we have a vaccine that weve gotten out to basically the entire world and so, the best people at the foundation were all about highvolume vaccines and are working with many manufacturers not only but getting that billions of dose capacity. And so like china, there will be a partial opening up, which some jobs will resume, school will resume, but will have to be very, very careful not to have the rebound until the vaccine comes. Chris you talk about the foundation. All the way back on february 5th, the Gates Foundation committed 100 million to fight this virus, but you point out the fact that our government, like a lot of other governments, was very slow to respond, really another two months, we might have lost. How much did that cost us in terms of the spread of this disease, that one or two months that we lost to bill there are countries like taiwan, who are exemplary. Saw the problem and really got the testing, communitywide testing done very well. They prioritize to get tested and so they wont either have the disease or the economic effect that other countries will have. China, by late january, had taken syria hadnt taken it seriously so their ability to get the cases to come down has been dramatic. So there are lessons that we are learning from and we are all in this together. Weve got to get rid of coronavirus from the entire world. The u. S. , we can see how tough it is here, likely it will be even worse in the developing countries who as yet dont have nearly as many cases. Chris how do you think the federal and the state governments are responding now, and would you prefer to see it all being handled on a National Level, whether its stayathome orders are testing or the supply chain, would you prefer to see this all being handled on a national centralized level rather than statebystate . Bill when you have finite resources you need to allocate them to where there is the most. Certainly because people move around the country we have to have the shutdown or else youll have exponential growth that will spread back into other parts of the country. In terms of testing, people have gotten confused and think its just about numbers. The keysponse to the test in les than 24 hours. And that youre prioritizing the right people. And so although the numbers are going up, we are not yet focusing in on that, you know, medical personnel or somebody whos keeping the Food Distribution working and being able to save somebody who test very quickly test their contacts, so i do think you know that allocation, prioritization of testing will be a key tactic for us to get into good shape. Chris at that needs to be done at a National Level, not a state level . Victor thats right. If you have some states that it just happens number of pcr machines in that state are very few and you wouldnt think, hey, thats the way they should be done. Also the outbreak is bigger in some areas, and so therefore, that drives the testing demand. Likewise, the ventilator demand. I mean, this is all very ad hoc because we never did a fullblown simulation. There were a few things done but its not like war where we do war games all the time, we have people standing by, resources standing by in a dramatic level. You know, were kind of figuring this out as we go, which people are rising to the occasion and its fantastic to see that, but, every day we can see that case number is still going up. Chris one you gave that famous ted talk five years ago you laid out a lot of the things that were starting to do now, Like Research and development on the dash and r d on vaccines. But so many countries around the world, including the u. S. Back in 2015, largely ignored your warnings. Why do you think that was . Bill well, its hard to put money into something where you dont know if its going to happen. We do for fires because weve seen that over time. We do for war. In fact, 600 billion a year. In that case, what would have been required is nothing like that. The ability to make a test super, the ability to know a library of drugs that would work for this. And you have the vaccine very quickly. I am sure after this, which is just such a gigantic impact, that we will put that money in. But between 2015 and 2020, we have less than 5 of what should have been done was done. People didnt get that this is the biggest single threat that could disrupt our way of life, which, even having predicted that as a risk, im really stunned at how tough it is to go through this. The medical cost, the economic cost, the psychological cost. Everybodys lives have been completely upended and thats not just the united states, its almost the entire world. Chris let me ask you personally about that. Bill and melinda gates, i think its fairo say, not your typical american family, but how has this virus, this epidemic, how is it upended your life and how personally are you dealing with and processing what we are going through now . Bill well, im a lot more isolated. The meetings are our own software, microsoft teams. You know, even friends that i would normally go see, were doing videoconferencing, which seems a bit unusual. You know, theres a lot of anxiety about how far does this go. If we have of the foundation who have a vet feel a bit isolatd because there just in our apartment, some with their kids there feel its very crowded, so how do we help people deal with this . You know, a lot of people are rising to the occasion, but, you know, for me, you know, my life is just completely different. I wake up every morning and think is this real or was it something i had a nightmare about . Chris bike all the rest of us, do you get scared sometimes and if so, about what . Bill well, this isnt the worst is the 1 or so fatality rate when a medical system is not overloaded. If this was smallpox that would be like 30 , so this is super, super bad, but we will eventually get a vaccine, even before then if we do the right things, we will be able to open up significant parts of the economy and you know, once youre in the crisis, youre just doing your best to deal with it. Im sure once we get past this we will look back, understand what we could have done differently, and make sure that we are not letting it happen again, particularly because it could be even worse in terms of the fatality rate. Chris bill gates, next time people will listen. Thank you. Chris up next, the nations governors hunt for lifesaving equipment is coronavirus cases spike in their states. We will sit down with michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer. Thats next. Chris coming up, we will talk with michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer about the toll of the coronavirus on her state. We know that we are in for a tough three, four, five, six weeks. We are far from out of the emergency that we find ourselves when we face adversity, we find a way through it. Its about taking care of each other. Its the small parts that make a big difference. At chevy we promise to do ours. To help keep you on the road, your Chevy Certified Service experts are here and ready to help. If you require parts, maintenance or repairs, you can even schedule your appointment online. Its just our way of doing our part. W york city area is now getting hit hardest by the coronavirus, one of the Big Questions is what sections of this country will get hammered next. Joining us now is michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer, whose state is showing a lot of warning signs. Governor, lets start by putting up the latest numbers from michigan. More than 14,000 cases of the virus now in your state, thats the third most of any state in the country. And 540 deaths and somewhere between 80 and 90 of those are in the detroit area. We keep hearing that detroit is going to be the next hot spot. How badly do you expect to get hit there and for how long . Governor whitmer well, what we do know is its growing exponentially. And we are seeing that it is not it doesnt discriminate based on city lines, state lines, party line. This is something that is aggressively growing in all age groups all across our most populous part of the state, which is southeast michigan. We know that weve got households that are already at capacity, we dont have enough personal protection of quitman t is precisely what my call to action has been, to stay home. I executed that order almost two weeks ago. It we are asking people to stay home and do their part and we are asking everyone to chip in and help us get more ppe for our frontline responders. Chris so let me pick up on that last point. How close is your health care system, especially in the southeast part of the state around detroit . How close is it to getting overwhelmed. How close are you to the edge in tests and ventilators and personal protective equipment . Governor whitmer so we dont have enough tests and i know thats not unique new michigan to michigan. Issues across the country in order to really have a handle on how many people have had covid19 at how prevalent it is we really need to be doing much more robust testing. Right now weve got a number of hospitals that are already at capacity and we are setting up an offsite Field Hospital at tcf, working with the army corps of engineers. And the Vice President , whos been very helpful and were really grateful for that, but we know right now that we are going daytoday today in of having the n95 masks, gowns, gloves for our frontlines and thats i think where we are spending so much of our energy, trying to get more of this stockpile, trying to contract with anyone where we can get these materials have michigan businesses ramping up production. Chris President Trump says that the federal government, the National Stockpile is the second line of defense, that its basically up to the states to prepare for these emergencies. Here he is on that. The states should be building. We are a backup. We are not an orderly clerk, we are a backup and weve done an unbelievable job. Chris and the feds and the president said yesterday, just send 300 ventilators to michigan, so does the president have a point about where the prime responsibility here lies . Governor whitmer let me start with this, im grateful for the help that weve gotten. If the 300 ventilators will save 300 lives, maybe 600. I use one vent for two people like doctors are working on here in michigan. But i will say this, not having a National Strategy where there is one policy for the country as opposed to a patchwork based on whomever the governor is something that i think is creating a more porous situation where covid19 will go longer and more people will get sick and sadly more lives get lost. Thats precisely why think we all have to do our jobs. We are not one anothers enemies, the enemy is covid19 and it has to be all hands on deck from a federal level to the state level to the local level. Trying to do because covid19, as i said, doesnt discriminate on party line or stateline and thats why we need to have a National Strategy and we all have to be working on the same team. Chris i want to pick up on that in a second, the first of all i want to ask you about another aspect of this crisis, and that is the economic crisis. Michigan is getting hit hard in that side too. 311,000 people filed for new unemployment claims just this last week. If this goes on, the staying at home, businesses closed down, if it goes on through april, if it goes on into may, how close is your state to economic collapse connect Governor Whitmer well, i mean, theres no question we are all going to have economic suffering because of covid19. Thats not unique to one part of the country or another, but what i can say is that the longer we are combating this, the harder its going to be on our economy thats why weve acted swiftly and aggressively to have a policy that hopefully shortens the amount of time we are confronting covid19. Lessons the number of people to get sick and lessens the number of fatalities. But we need that kind of a response in a broader sense across the country because the longer this goes on, the harder its going to be on all of our economies. I do have a lot of people that are out of work now, a lot of businesses that may not open yet. Again. And all of these decisions weigh heavily on me but at the end of the day i know ive got to listen to the epidemiologists and the scientists and the Brilliant Minds who can tell us what the trajectory looks like in the shorter we make it the better for our health and the better for the economy. Chris i want to pick up on something you said earlier talking about the patchwork national response. You and President Trump have had a desktop over his policies in the last few weeks. Heres some of the things that you have said about him. You call the president s policies excuse me patchwork, inconsistent, and lackadaisical. And not surprisingly hes fired back at you. All she does is she has no idea whats going on and all she does is say its the federal governments fault and weve taken such great care of michigan. Chris he has also called you governor half whitmer. You say you dont want to waste time on fighting with the president , but you have been critical saying that things like testing, like stayathome orders, like use of the defense production act, it has to be done more on a National Level than on a statebystate basis. Governor whitmer i think thats true and i think thats a fair analysis. None of the comments that ive made have been a personal attack in nature. I dont do that kind of thing. I got the state that voted for President Trump or 2016 and voted overwhelmingly for me, i won by almost ten points in 2018. I dont wait for those kinds of political attacks. What i do though is i speak truth to power and the fact of the matter is its not a national patchwork policy, its patchwork because we are leaving it to the governors. If we had a National Strategy i think it would be better for us in the long run and that is just, i think, an analysis of the science and the facts and whats going on across my country. And i think thats a fair thing to observe. Ive spoken with the president , ive spoken with the Vice President many times, the army corps, fema, and we are grateful for any federal partnership we can get. Im doing my job and part of my job is telling people what ive learned, what i think we can do better, and what we are going to continue to do to protect people. Chris ive got i dont want to spend a lot of time on this, ive got less than a minute, but joe biden now says that youre on his short list of possible running mates. Is there some politics being played here both you towards the president and the president towards you . Governor whitmer you know, not on my part. I can just tell you this; i didnt ask to be thrust into the national spotlight. I dont like attacks, frankly. But at the end of the day my job, ive been on this job for 15 months. My job is to do everything i can do to protect the 10 Million People in michigan. That means locking arms with everyone is going to be an ally and welcoming all people that want to be helpful and thats where we are asking for help. Nationally. She can as a hot spot. We need a fence and im grateful for any partnership of the federal level or any partnerships with businesses that want to help out because we desperately need ppe, lives on the line here. Chris Governor Whitmer, thank you, thanks for joining us. We wish you and your state of michigan all the best in the coming days. Up next, we will bring in our sunday group to discuss the huge federal response to the epidemic and the political battle over how those trillions of your dollars will be spent. To keep customers and employees in the know. To keep business moving. Comcast business is prepared for times like these. Powered by the nations largest gigspeed network. To help give you the speed, reliability, and security you need. Tools to manage your business from any device, anywhere. And a team of experts here for you 24 7. Weve always believed in the power of working together. Thats why, when every connection counts. You can count on us. We find a way through it. Its about taking care of each other. Its the small parts that make a big difference. At chevy we promise to do ours. To help keep you on the road, your Chevy Certified Service experts are here and ready to help. If you require parts, maintenance or repairs, chevy and its dealers remain committed to your vehicle needs. You can even schedule your appointment online. Its just our way of doing our part. Its all the Health Select committee on the coronavirus crisis. We need to ensure those dollars are spent carefully and effectively. This witch hunt after witch hunt after witch hunt and in the end the people doing the witch hunt have been losing and if and losing by a lot. Chris House Speaker nancy pelosi setting up a new Oversight Committee which President Trump promptly dismissed as more partisan politics. Its time now for our sunday group. Former republican congressman jason chaffetz. Former democratic congresswoman jane harman. And guy benson of fox news radio. Congressman chaffetz, whats wrong with Speaker Pelosi setting up a committee on the coronavirus . Congress has passed 2 trillion in taxpayer money to throw at, to hopefully respond to the virus. Doesnt some congressional oversight make sense . Well, there should be congressional oversight, but there already is an Oversight Committee. I used to chair it. There are also other committees Like Financial Services and others. This seems premature. It seems like an aggressive move, if you will, to give some additional powers before theye been able to either execute and start on this and i remind people that the 9 11 commission i think started Something Like a year after 9 11 actually happened. So yes to oversight, but we arty have an Oversight Committee. Its the secondlargest committee and all of congress and it spends nearly 10 million and yet pelosi wants to have , Speaker Pelosi said the other day as President Trump fiddles americans are dying and one could argue that washington was so caught up in february with the impeachment trial that that slowed the response to the coronavirus, so can you understand why President Trump wouldnt exactly welcome a Congressional Committee, another Congressional Committee set up by nancy pelosi [boos] i suppose i can understand it, but whats important is that the 2 trillion rescue package, which blows a hole for generations in our deficit and debt be managed properly and thats what shes trying to do. Yes there is an ove Oversight Committee chaired by congressman maloney, who was elected to congress when i was in 1992 and shes very able but losey is trying to focus whether she will succeed i dont know but its important that there be oversight. 500 billion in this 2 trillion bill are managed by the Treasury Department and they may go to cronies. Hopefully they wont, but as pelosi says, where theres a lot of money there can be a lot of mischief and it matters that this money get out fast and he gets to the people who need it and just one more point, the blame game is not helpful. This pirate isnt targeting us by our political registration, just as terrorism doesnt end there was a terror attack in france today, five people were killed or wounded by some crazy guy carrying a knife and we better be watching whats going on in the world at the same time as we are making this relief package work. Chris well, lets talk about some of the subjects, i just mentioned impeachment and speaking of that, late friday, President Trump notified congress that he is firing michael atkinson, who is the former nowformer Inspector General of the intelligence community. And yesterday President Trump left no doubt about why he did it. Took this terrible inaccurate whistleblower report, right, and he brought it to congress. Chris guy, i guess it was just a matter of time before President Trump fired atkinson, wasnt it . Definitely. This was not a surprising development. It was also announced and deployed in the middle of this crisis, so i think under other circumstances it would probably be the biggest story in washington this weekend. Instead it started getting short shrift. I think its interesting because your same predictable responses mostly along party lines, but not completely, senator Susan Collins from maine has been critical of the decision. The Inspector General from the doj, mic though its interesting that we are talkingrevious topic on the, in addition to having house Oversight Committee committee already in existence, there are also inspectors general to oversee the 2 trillion in the response of the administration. Part of the reason i think congressman chase this is right, the smells a bit of politics. Chris well, speaking of politics, lets talk about the president ial election, because primaries are being moved back, the Democratic Convention has now been moved from july until august at the earliest and there is talk about whether there could be changes because of the november election if this goes on, whether there might need to be more or exclusively male in voting. President trump was asked about that this week. Know because i think a lot of people cheat with mail in voting. I think people should vote with i. D. , voter i. D. It shouldnt be male in voting, should be you go to a booth and you probably display yourself. Chris congressman chaffetz, you know that there are going be some democrats appears now that its going to be the democratic nominee were going to accuse the president and the government of Voter Suppression there. Thats not true. Donald trump is exactly right. All submission of this via mail this just right for fraud and abuse. Nancy pelosi introduced hr one, it was her first bill of the 116 congress and i remind people that Mitch Mcconnell said that this is purely a power grab. She wants to nationalize his elections. I do believe that you should present yourself and identification and theres a way to pull that off and start working on now. No doubt elections are going to be different but you should authenticate the vote. Thats what you have to do and when you go to mailin ballots you can authenticated to the same degree you could if you present yourself in person. Can i respond . Chris your thoughts about mailin voting . Couldnt disagree more. I come from california, 40 million voters statewide mail voting. Ive done it myself since ive and basically based in washington, still proud to be up california resident. You could do it in spots in the highdensity cities. There are seven months between now and the election, states better get on it and the other point to mention that jason is right that by the constitution states regulate the time and manner of elections. The National Government through the department of health and dhs have been helping states manage cyber intrusion and states are taking help, so the federal government could be very helpful here and we need to have a fair and free election not just for prbut for a third of the senate but for a third of the senate and the entire house. Chris guy, you get the final comment and less than a minute. Your thoughts about mailin voting . I mean it does go on and a lot of states around the country. What if we were to go more exclusively to that if social distancing is still an issue come november. I think ballot harvesting is one of the concerns here when it comes to election integrity. Im in favor of contingency planning. I think we havent seen that in congress were members still cant vote remotely in the middle of an emergency. I think thats nuts frankly. Looking ahead to november, yes, lets be careful, lets think about this potentially as a onetime solution for some states but it should not be dictated top down from washington and there should be real safeguards on fraud. Chris i have a feeling this is a debate thats going to continue, but not today. Thank you, panel. See you next sunday.
