Recovering. This news came hours after hope hicks tested positive. She was with the president wednesday and arrived in minnesota, the debate on tuesday and last saturday at a rally in pennsylvania. Also getting good news from peter doocy that mark meadows tested negative in his most recent test. This is significant, staff is tested daily especially those coming in close contact with the president. Fox news medical contributor mark siegel talked about the president s health risk. 74 years old, he is overweight but doesnt have the other risks we worry about like diabetes, lung disease, Heart Disease or Kidney Disease is another big one. He has none of those as far as we know, a good blood pressure, all bode well and is in pretty good shape. Reporter we are also hearing from Vice President mike pence who said karen and i send our love and prayers to donald trump and first lady milania, we join millions across america praying for their pool and swift recovery. God bless you donald trump and our wonderful first lady milania. The president had a couple events on his schedule, an event in dc and he was going to travel to florida tonight for a rally. Those have been canceled. I was stumbling into the first hint because the news is coming fast and furious but we are looking at when mike pence was last in contact with the president and it appears it was at a coronavirus event in the rose garden on monday, the president announcing 150 million testings and to the nation. One thing is for sure. As we wait to hear more from the white house and perhaps the president s critics this is going to change the trajectory of the race, 32 days until november 3rd as well as what happens right now with the president . While he is pointing to the first lady, protecting the president will be a close protocol and certainly he will have to continue to do the job of the leader of the free world, how he will do that, virtually events, can he talk with those around him, trying to get a sense of white house staff, how they are reacting and the protocols may change as they come to work today perhaps the white house will take some notes from Boris Johnson who handled things, went back in april and he was in intensive care for three days for the better part of the weekend to handle coronavirus. Obviously the president , having a symptomatic symptoms right now in much better shape than johnson was, we will wait and see. Jillian you touched on a question which is when was the last time mike pence has been in close direct contact with the president . That would have ramifications for the Vice President ial debate. The other thing, that tweet from mike pompeo, we did hear this is breaking news, the secretary of state and his wife test negative. Im sure those results are coming in over the course of the next few hours for a lot of people in close contact with the president. It is really important because he conducted the nations foreignpolicy by testing negative. He could carry out facetoface meetings the president might have been scheduled to attend or deal with because not only does this news have farreaching implications for the president and first ladys health but also National Security and foreign policy, they say the show must go on and the leaders of the free world conducting this, certainly one of those in the pandemic age will change and alter somewhat. Todd that is the perfect jumping off point to our next guest, congressman mark green, House Committee on oversight, gop doctors caucus and er physician. You understand how government works, how medicine works, how is this impacting the president s ability to be the leader of the free world . A National Security perspective. Thanks for having me on the show. Appreciate it. Before i go into that i want to send my wishes to the president , we will be praying for him and milania. From a functionality standpoint the president is asymptomatic at this point as i understand it, there will be no disruption whatsoever, he will be a will to do his job. Worst thing you could do to donald trump is to them in quarantine. He cant go anywhere but they have all the capacity in the white house, he can make any decisions yet all the information he needs to make those decisions, pretty good theme. Jillian we are 32 days from a crucial election. What does this do . You look at quarantine, arguably the next 14 days he is in quarantine depending how this plays out. What does this do for the course of the next few weeks, 32 days specifically. The president will have to be in the white house, his connections with everyone will be electronic so he will not be able to do rallies or things like that. In this day and age of technology will not be that much of a disruption but from a Campaign Perspective it is different from his ability to function as the president. It will be a little bit of a disruption. Todd i want to focus on messaging. When this news first broke you always look to the stock market to see how the news is received futures were very low, european and other foreign markets were low. You seem to be coming back slightly but this drilled into the question of messaging. How important is messaging that he is okay, that hes able to lead the country, but presumably this was a small viral load, he is asymptomatic, he will be the country, how important is that at a time like this . The ability to make those decisions, i think that perception is important but 80 of the people who get this dont have hardly any symptoms at all. The chances there is a bad outcome or a challenging outcome are very small and i think that is what folks should realize, it is down to 0. 6, the case fatality rate around 2 , those who get critically ill, between 5 percent8 . People should be reassured the president is most probably going to be just fine, probably asymptomatic. We spent time talking about the president and his commission, 74 years old, with every doctor we see 2. He is placed in at high risk category but relatively speaking as far as we know he has been fairly healthy, more information on that than me. The president and first lady, dont know the status of any of a coronavirus test outside of what we said this morning, mark meadows, chief of staff testing negative, mike pompeo and his wife testing negative. Are there other people we need to be concerned about this morning . The staff gets tested particularly those folks around the president get tested very frequently, maybe even daily. I think they will know if someone becomes positive, get that person isolated as well. It is more than just comorbidities. You ask what the doctor had on, vitamin d deficient, at risk for the worst outcomes. There are studies about blood type, in a little bit of a higher or worse category and on the age, the factor the president has is striated by decades, those in the 70s at greater risk than those in the 60s. Those in their 80s have a higher risk than those in their 70s. I imagine his nutrition and vitamin d status are great, i guess he will be fine. Todd the perfect individual to speak to, you use that and appreciate that sincerely this morning. Time is 10 minutes after the hour, outpouring of support around the world for the president and first lady. Jillian the leaders wishing the speedy recovery. Lip away. Lip away.

Jillian World Leaders reacting to the news that donald trump and first lady milania have contracted covid19 or have a diagnosis of covid19. Jillian Carley Shimkus with serious xm 115 with the online well wishes the poor in. Reporter an explosion of reaction pouring in from around the world, Boris Johnson posted as we save my best wishes to donald trump and the first lady, hope they have a speedy recovery from coronavirus, johnson spent 3 nights in the hospital after testing positive for covid19 in april. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posting a tweet saying like millions of israelis, sarah and i are thinking of donald trump and milania trump and with our friends a full and speedy recovery. The president and Prime Minister of israel enjoy a close relationship. One of the cornerstones of the president s first term bringing our nations together, another world leader, Prime Minister of india tweet wishing our friend potus a quick recovery and good health. In neighboring pakistan the Prime Minister wrote wishing donald trump and first lady milania trump speedy recovery from peter stzrok covid19. The president of poland wishing the president well, good wishes for a speedy recovery to our friends, donald trump and poland and usa will get through the hardships and succeed in fighting covid19. As you can see this is affecting countries around the world as World Leaders take the time to which the president well. On a side note i want to mention the president was really committed to sending ventilators to other nations because of the ramped up supply in such high numbers, he wants to send 14,000 ventilators to 40 countries at the height of the pandemic, something im sure those countries appreciated. He is also not the first world leader to test positive for covid19. Others include the president of brazil, honduras, belarus and Prime Minister Boris Johnson but because he is the leader of the free world initially the reaction to him testing positive is a much bigger deal. Todd Boris Johnson was very sick with coronavirus, and care for a number of days. Todd the 2020 race further appended by the pandemic. Jillian how it might impact the election. Jillian we are back with a fox news alert, donald trump and milania from quarantined to the white house after confirming they tested positive for covid19. Todd the very latest developments all night long. Reporter this started just before 1 00 when the president confirmed through twitter that he has tested positive for covid19 as well as first lady milania trump. He was on hannity, sat in the same chair, watched the interview at 9 30 eastern. He did not sound sick. She is a hard worker. A lot of masks, she wears masks a lot but she tested positive. You know very well, she is fantastic and a good job but it is very hard when you are with people from the military, Law Enforcement and they come over to you and want to hug you and kiss you because we have really done a good job. You get close to that, i was surprised to hear but a very warm person with them, she knows there is a risk. Reporter weve been running video all night, shes wearing a mask and from everyone we talked to overnight who goes to the white house, people around the president are socially distant, they wear masks, you heard the president say as well, very adamant, we talk to doctors last night, just because you have a mask on doesnt mean they are presenting themselves from contracting the virus, theres a 3tier system they refer to, in 95 masks are the best but people who pull a sheet over their faces wont do much. Kevin cork, what is the protocol as we get into the white house, what does he have to say . Around the president , it is a little bit surprising from that perspective but theyve been on the road a little bit more, theres more risk of exposure. Jillian the president has hit the ground running with two rally today and the debate on tuesday, i will point out i have been saying at all night, he pulled the mask, when i talked to Shannon Bream last night, fox news it might anchor Shannon Bream, there might be in the works of potentially having a resume rally, interesting how it goes over with the trump base, thousands show up. Todd covering it all might long, thank you. Jillian Griff Jenkins joins us with the latest. Ashley referenced this. What will it look like going forward, we dont exactly know yet but the president was supposed to travel to florida. He had a rally in florida which was canceled, pretty obvious with news like this his schedule would be cleared for the foreseeable future. This news is rocking washington with worldwide reactions. For our viewers just waking up, news we learned overnight, president and first lady testing positive and the news came by way of a tweet from the president just moments before 1 00 am, the president saying we tested positive for covid19, we begin the quarantine Recovery Process and we will get through this, and reassuring americans, we are quarantining at home after testing positive for covid19, we are feeling good and i have postponed all my engagements, please be sure you are staying safe, and we will get through this together. The white house physician doctor sean, we sending a statement that the president and first lady are both well at this time and remaining within the white house and also added rest assured i expect the president to carry out his duties while recovering. This news came just hours after hope hicks tested positive, reports, feeling mild symptoms when traveling on air force one with the president. She was also with them tuesday at the debate and last saturday at a rally in pennsylvania. He tested positive with the bubble of the president , the most vigorous standards, daily constant testing, we have good news as we look around for those in close contact with the president , chief of staff mark meadows has tested negative in his most recent test, a number of doctors talking about the president s health, he is 74, Healthy Eating and exercising but has no comorbidities it is otherwise pretty healthy. He is asymptomatic and he and the first lady are doing well but protecting him will be important. Somebody, all eyes on right now, is Vice President mike pence, he took the twitter writing karen and i send love and first to our dear friends donald trump and milania, we are praying for their swift recovery. And milania, the best we can determine from the public calendars, mike pence was last with the president on monday and a coronavirus rose garden event. We reached out to the Vice President s office to find out how this could in fact things whether he tested negative or positive. We dont have those answers and we will get them but someone we do now has tested negative is secretary of state mike pompeo. He took the test traveling from rome to croatia. Hes on an international trip, testing negative, very important because he conducts the president s foreignpolicy business. He sent his wellwishers talking to journalists on a plane, we will bring that to you when we get it, that is the latest, certainly news as we wake up on friday but the good news to take away from it, the president and first lady doing well. Todd to the extent they are not already, all of dc got a very Early Morning wakeup call when they heard this news. You are tapped into the community, you know the people, the sources, how that city works. What is the reaction right now on the east coast . Reporter a lot of cell phones are ringing, Washington Press corps in full force at this point now that weve known this for 5 hours and members of congress as well getting notified and coming on this show. Mark green from texas reacting to the news. This is what he has to say. The staff gets tested particularly folks around the president get tested very frequently, maybe even daily. They will know if someone becomes positive, got that person isolated as well. A congressman from tennessee, not texas, but right now official washington waking up with a president who will be most importantly in a protected state. They will be trying to figure out how to handle that and take some cues and look back at how Boris Johnson handled things in april, he was hospitalized, the government having to put never before used protocols in place so he could conduct the business and as you learned from Shauna Connolly at the white house the president attends his duties but it will look different. Dont forget this impacts the campaign trail, 32 days to go until the election. Jillian thank you very much. Lets bring in doctor ronnie jackson, texas congressional candidate. Thank you for being here, appreciate it. The president , 74 years old, when you look at his age that puts them in a higher risk category, how concerning is this information we are waking up to . Hes a little older but you have to remember 99 of patients in the president s category with no comorbidities which he doesnt have, the lung disease, diabetes, doesnt smoke, things of that nature, they do just fine and recover completely of the majority remain asymptomatic and never know they have this. Im not worried about what is going on right now, the president and first lady, i suspect they will remain asymptomatic and will be in some type of relative quarantine, closer to 10 days at which point they will have continued testing when he has two negative tests he will go back to normal. Todd if all of our guests you are the one with the most intimate knowledge of how the white house works, this white house and the white house in general. What is going on from a contingency plan perspective not necessarily tied to the present and first lady, getting the best of care but the other people working at the white house . Hes president of the United States and commanderinchief and still have a job to do so certain people will be around him. They reduce the number of people in contact with him over the next 10 days but he will still have a certain number of staff around him wearing a mask, washing your hands, social distancing but the president will do his job and there will be a certain number of Staff Members that have to be around him on a regular basis day today, they prepare for that. They are at risk for getting this being around the president. That is what we expect. Those who are around the president are tested on a daily basis, what do you see those who might be around the president in the upcoming 7 to 14 days . They will be tested daily, they wont be tested more frequently, they will be tested daily. Most of them tested daily, you have to assume this diagnosis was made earlier than it will be in most places because everyone at the white house is tested aggressively. The testing will remain in place and be very frequent. They will be absolutely fine from this. But looking ahead should the president become more ill . What is the threshold of this illness before mike and takes on more responsibility, not saying transition of power, trying to make news redlines, trying to say before mike pence takes on more of the president s responsibility to make sure the government is not moving forward . Has to be extreme would not only have to be hospitalized but most likely in Critical Condition in the icu, if he doesnt get symptoms which i dont expect you going to but if he does it will be cold and flu type symptoms, that is what is mostly consists of but he would have to get very ill for that to happen. He ends up at the hospital at Walter Reed Military Center we have a satellite west wing that he would be able to continue functioning as president with staff around him. When you look at his age and health, my curiosity is if he had contracted this 6 months ago, it would be different than it is now. How have the last 6 months and the information we have gained particularly in this age group how has that help to get to where we are today . It helped a lot. We had things that are out there that we didnt know exactly what the side effects the, the president talked about that, can be pretty assured if the president were to take that again as the treatment does, and zinc, might not do that. It is also a benefit, being nebulized steroids. Doctor connolly provided excellent medical care and the things they do and dont do. Apologize for asking you to diagnose from afar but when i heard this news my first thought was confirmation process of Amy Coney Barrett from a medical perspective, a lot of people were at the white house, Amy Coney Barrett, her husband and 7 kids and a lot of people in attendance, and the like. How concerned are you something happened on saturday that can spread this to more people and therefore the political question, how this will impact the confirmation process, she met with a number of gop senators. That will be factored in and they will figure out if they can, they wont figure out whether somebody else prior to that and how long ago that happens, from every Single Person the tests positive, 20 people that have it, but dont have it, what they are doing now to do anything they need to continue that confirmation process, they will be aggressive about moving forward despite this. Todd congressman, doctor, apologize for electing you, appreciate your time. Amazing insight, thank you for getting up with us. Congressman greg steube, what was your reaction . Obviously surprising but not surprising given that he has so many people around him, so many parameters, he was in jupiter for executive order signing, kept from the public, he was kept from all of us. Even if you were backstage he didnt touch anybody or shake anybodys hand, anybody that works for him Wearing Masks, 7 million americans have tested positive and millions of us been tested and we had a number of members of congress who tested positive. I wish him well and hope he continues to do well and hope he tries to do things remotely. He was supposed to be in florida for a rally. I hope they do his rallies as long as he is feeling well just like this. Ive done many events from washington remotely through zoom or skype and hope he continues to do his job effectively and campaign effectively as long as hes not having symptoms. Jillian it is 5 38 in the morning on the east coast a lot a lot of people were woken up by this news in the middle of the night particularly a lot of people in washington. You are getting the feel of things and what people are waking up to this morning, how are people in washington feeling . There will be a lot of talk whether the democrats, they are talking about it whether they will cancel the next debate because he tested positive. The Vice President will be tested, where that debate will go forward. It is more, what was previously scheduled, i heard you talking about Supreme Court nominee and all of that, comey appeared in the judiciary hearing, they are concerned about the fact that she was with the president , she could appear in the judiciary hearing as comey did for the nomination process. I urge Lindsey Graham in the senate for all those events to make sure we get that through the process. Todd let me ask the psyche of the country question. Jillian would be a liar if they didnt say there hasnt been coronavirus fatigue, weve been following the rules for so long and little by little from my perspective you let up a little bit here and there. What do you think this news will do to the coronavirus fatigue that set it in all 50 states. Florida in phase 3, weve gone down on the curve, we were at the bottom of that. Schools are open and there are reports from leftwing media there hasnt been outbreaks in the School Systems that have opened. People are tired of Wearing Masks when they go out and i think you have that in states that are more open. We all get the flu and the cold, we all have been i travel in four different airplanes. As you heard mark green say the mortality rate is 0. 6 as we see more people who didnt know they had it because they were asymptomatic and the mortality rate goes down to Something Like the flu or the cold. Jillian you know as much of i do, once people wake up and hear this news, some people already, you will see a lot of criticism for various things, the rallies, the supporters being so close together and not Wearing Masks, the president as much as he has traveled, you will see a lot of that criticism. My question is what happens when people start to wake up and the criticism starts to take hold, where do you think this goes in the next 24 hours . Absolutely right. Look at twitter right now and what folks are saying. There is an oped article in local newspaper talking months ago about the president getting covid19 and the Vice President getting covid19 in the left cheering that they would get covid19 it may get sick. He will absolutely see the left, cnn and msnbc criticizing rallies, the fact that hes out and about, that every time you see him on camera hes not wearing a mask but you cant socially distance indoors. Its not required that you wear a mask everywhere but i imagine we will see the criticism mount from the rallies and different events but i have attended those events with the president , the public is kept separate from him. I was never physically able to get close enough to her mother than having a conversation for longdistance, people Wearing Masks, they take strong precautions to prevent the spread of covid19. Obviously they werent ignoring the different guidance the cdc put out all this time. Jillian thank you for waking up early and joining us. John thomas, we talked to you an hour ago and theres a lot of breakdown, 32 days from an important election, debates, Vice President ial debate is scheduled for next week, two more debate scheduled after that. At this point in campaigning where would you advise the president s campaign to take this, what you do this virtually . What would you say . You got to shift things up. One of the president s greatest drinks with his ability to draw crowds at rallies and take his message to the people. He cant do that right now and every day in the Campaign Timeline is critical. Youve got to shuffle the deck. That means put mike pence out front. He needs to do that in person thing, you need to and pop the level of virtual campaigning the Trump Campaign is doing, the Trump Campaign opted to do more doortodoor activity because that is the best way to motivate but there is no way to motivate how to get donald trump to connect with as many people as possible to deliver his economic message, and you have to shift priorities. How you fund this, a lot of the way he raised money was in person, hes got to rely on his troop of supporters globally to chip in 5, 10, 15 to lift up the campaign to buy tv ads and get out the message. Todd if you were running the Biden Campaign would your campaign change following this news . I would like to think campaigns it is a blood sport. You know the Biden Campaign will look at this as an opportunity. He can go out and start meeting with voters and they will use this as an i told you so opportunity. He plays fast and loose with mask rule but that is not the case. They will exploit the moment to get in an advantage in front. Theres only one candidates, no better surrogate to deliver that, trump is sidelined for a few days, big advantage. The Trump Campaign from this point on as far as virtual, the message from the public this morning. Got to project a message. A two fold message but the act of governing. Donald trump is the commanderinchief first and foremost, the campaign and the elected office speak in unison to protect confidence that everything is going to be okay, the government will be okay, if there were a National Security issue everything would be okay. One of confidence and relate ability, the president is mortal. He goes through the same struggles the way every day americans can. He will get through this but lets refocus and focus on the economy. At the end of the day when donald trump recovers from this virus we are still going to be stuck and weve got to think who is best to rebuild the economy, his senate once and can do it again. Jillian theres a lot of criticism in the messaging. Is it best that they get ahead of it . Weve seen on twitter, the left, he was too loose with the rules. We dont know definitively. What im hearing is they are going to know roughly where donald trump and milania, here is how it happened, how we are going to fix it and recommendations we have going forward, simply saying i got it wrong, i dont know that the Trump Campaign would stay such a thing. Great stuff from you all morning long, appreciate you sticking with us, great work, thanks for your time. News like this, Cheryl Casone joins us with how markets are reacting. Ed futures trading was well underway when the news broke about the president and first lady, dow futures plunged 500 points, the initial moment which is fraction area but common but we recovered some of that but i want to look at the numbers, the dow is down 394 in the premarket, the s p down 50, nasdaq down 252, european markets trending lower as well, all this breaking with the president tweeting testing positive for covid19. We will begin our r d and Recovery Process immediately and get through this together. They tested positive, all the news, markets were following overnight. There was a comment from the president s doctor the got attention, the president said continue carrying it out without disruption. There is no change in executive authority which is a market positive. We are seeing a move into treasury, safer assets for investors but this brings the issue to the forefront of wall streets in their minds. Weve been skittish and there is not been a resolution to stimulus talks between pelosi and steve mnuchin. Either of a coronavirus, slow disaster, a second wave or the country is emerging out of the pandemic and the economy will continue to bounce back. Sensitive to political uncertainty, the contested election that has been talked about, looking forward, what can you predict, what are the risks to the market . The december jobs report this morning, the markets could open up negative, we could be positive. Ive seen that so many times over the last year. That snapped up the losing streak, all of this hinges on what we see. When we open the bell will ring, theres a lot at play. Todd there is no way when the market closes on the east coast they knew this was going to happen. Do you think when all the markets dealt with the last 7 months that to some extent this was baked in already. Not to this extent but the fact that Something Like this could happen . That is one side of the market perspective that theres going to be a second wave, that is certainly a possibility that has been talked about the vaccine trials we been watching closely, four different trials, the uk study at an explanation and one person was pulled out, they stopped the trial, so much sensitivity in the market and volatility. When you have a lot of volatility, the average folks, and the election, you have volatility until november. If we dont have results on november 3rd. Volatility has them off the charts. The number of rain around 4 00, 300 points down in the world that we live in, and and news like this, they put the markets into correction territory. 10 down and if not more. I wonder if i could interject does it matter the news we have so far is it appears they are both feeling well, both asymptomatic. If it were a different situation like the Boris Johnson is where he ended up in the icu for days it can be a different conversation. Reporter glad you made that point. It is executive authority, administrative power, National Security, it is about was the Vice President positive, what was his proximity to donald trump . This goes to how markets think, this is the most powerful economy in the world, this man is the leader of the free world and what happens in the United States reverberates around the globe. They are asymptomatic, they are quarantining. We know a lot about coronavirus that we didnt know in march when the markets did go into correction territory, and both of you were more educated now. Where does the virus go . To be dissipating as death rates are going down and the viral load is dissipating and weakening. That is factoring in the markets. We have to watch all of it. Todd we had 400 point dips at the open when amazon had a seminot great day. This is the leader of the free world, your response is spot on what we know, the condition seems to be okay. Reporter moment ago mike pompeo concerned he and his wife test negative for covid19, mike pompeo said the president and first lady are in their prayers. We are taking it very seriously. Todd tough to hear, mike pompeo in croatias this morning saying hes not interacted with the president since september 15th. German chancellor Angela Merkel sending best wishes to the president and first lady for a speedy recovery. Reporter members of congress from both sides of the aisle taking to social media through the Early Morning and overnight hours. Former democratic president ial candidate Tulsi Gabbard tweets my husband abraham and i offer our best wishes to donald trump and the first lady and praying for their speedy recovery, we send our best wishes to ivanka, tiffany, donald from junior, eric and baron during this tough time. Reporter justin amash tweeting best wishes to the president and first lady on a full recovery and the health and wellbeing of their family, white house staff. Jillian congressman ralph spannoh says healing prayers with donald trump and milania, wishing them both a swift recovery. Todd darrell iso tweeting wishing donald from, milania trump, hope hicks, all affected with kim jong un for a safe and speedy recovery. With that, let us bring in tom reed, you woke up and heard this news, what is the sense in dc . This is breaking news, fox and press go with the president and milania, a quick and speedy recovery. We will see an opportunity to see the greatest strength of the president on display here. His energy, i know the president , i was working with him late yesterday trying to get relief to the American People in the covid19 stimulus package and i will tell you the strength of him each and everyday getting up on his job is on display as he get through this virus in a strong fashion. Jillian 30 days of the selection, a lot of people feel different about how coronavirus has been handled, how rallies have been handled, how does this change the game and what can the president do considering for the next two weeks he will be quarantines, with 30 days of time winding down there are still undecided voters, what does he need to do . What is his messaging . It reaffirms that you have to have a healthy respect for this virus. We are americans, we cannot live in fear, we cannot live in bunkers, we cannot go into holes in the ground, we must continue with our lives, we have to be smart, what you will see is what ive seen every day during his administration, he gets up in amazing fashion, works hours upon hours fighting for the American People. You might not like his style, you might not like his speech, you might not like his rhetoric but i can tell you he shows up on the job and if this happens to the Vice President the concern i would have is the contrast between the two and the condition of the two as they go into this potential job in this debate it would be on display and the president is going to show this is how we move forward, fight the virus, we are going to get a vaccine and get us behind us because we have to get america back in the right direction free of the virus with a vaccine and get people back to work and start going back to restore our way of life. Todd you know the idiosyncrasies of dc and the players as you sit here today, at the Vice President ial debate we have to go on. Using technology in a different way, maybe ensure there is social separation and social distancing and doing it in a different way, that is something that has to be considered. Having healthy respect for the virus, the concept that we have to live in fear i dont accept fear in america, we are americans, we are smart, we are adaptive, we are innovative and that is what i think you will see as we go through the last 34 days of this debate. We can have a debate where folks go to their corners where they are not engaging the process because democracy is tough. You need to have the Great Exchange of ideas. Jillian talking about protocols and testing and everything going on over the last few months, a number of people said those around the president are tested on a daily basis, every time we going we are tested so it is not for lack of testing and protocols being done at the white house. That is correct.
