Host you just want to hear from the nations top scientists and doctors . Caller excuse me . Host you just want to hear from the scientists and doctors . Caller yes, because we need to know who knows what is going on. If he gets the right people around him but he wants to take all of the credit. Is he going to be ready to take the blame . Host patrick, florida. Independent. Caller good morning. First off i would like to say, i really wish cspan were reading the crystals article. Used to read them all the time, telling halftruths are lies about clinton or obama. You didnt put on the information that the ap said President Trump has shut down 37 out of 47 pandemic programs. I notice you did not mention when pence with was governor he wouldnt handout sterile needles to prevent hiv spread because that was against his religion. You leave out real information. Host we are eight minutes into this and that is the beauty of the show is that you get to call in and mentioned the things that are concerning you. That is what we are asking all of you this morning. Tot is your confidence level respond to the coronavirus outbreak . Barney in florida . Confidence . Host yes, what is it . Caller how can you believe anything coming out of the white house today . All you hear is lies, lies and more lies. It is ridiculous. Only way i believe anything coming out of the white house is if it falls on my head. Youve got these morands up there praising this idiot these morons up there praising this idiot. Host across the papers, a lot of focus on the traders on wall street and their jitters with this coronavirus break. Here is politico. U. S. Stocks plummet and experts warn against drums claim against trumps claim. You have cnbc, after thursdays massive tumble on the coronavirus fears and the asian markets have already opened up. Cnbc with the headlines, seven asiapacific markets have tumbled. The Washington Post notes that in european markets, they have taken economic hits as contagion spreads. They report this that Financial Markets in europe have lost about as much ground this year as their u. S. Counterpart. The bluechip euro stocks have given up nine point 5 of its value compared to the loss on the Dow Jones Industrial average of 9. 7 . January 20, the outbreak has stripped 4 trillion from the stock market. President trump with tweets saying this the coronavirus which started in china and spread through various countries but very slowly in the u. S. Because President Trump slowed the border is now being blamed other donothing democrats to be the fault of trump. He also wrote this morning the donothing democrats were busy wasting time on the immigration hoax that anything else they could do to make the Republican Party look bad while i was busy calling early border in flight closings. Dems called it very wrong, he says. Ed, your confidence level in washington to respond . The greatest thing President Trump did was stop the people from china that are not citizens in the United States, they were not allowed to travel to the United States. That stopped a lot of the infections right there. I have been watching the program and listening to some of the en route people that called in here talking about the president i getting the impression that the democrats actually hope that this virus spreads all over so they can go after trump and blame him. Trump did not make this virus. Trump is doing everything he can to stop this virus. Why anybody would think he wouldnt want to stop the virus is out of their mind. Hemp has his own children, doesnt want his children to die. Everybody in this country wants trump to solve this problem. And calling him names and accusing him of being an idiot is just not american. Now a lot of you people on the democrat side, you do not love america. You want to change it. Why dont you just leave, because you do not love the country . Host eds opinion in georgia. Youngstown, ohio. We are going to have tim ryan on the Program Later this morning. Caller what was that . Host we are going to have tim ryan from your time from your town later on this morning. Caller ok, thank you the problem is is anyone old enough to remember the boy who cried wolf . We cannot trust the president tell us the truth. He eliminated all the money in infrastructure that we had in pandemics. Event i would like a doctor to be able to speak to us about what is going on, but i heard him on tv saying he is not allowed to speak. He has to go through pence and i dont understand why he would put pence in charge of this pure he doesnt believe in science. Of this. He doesnt believe in science. This whole pandemic might be a huge deal and it might could be kept in perspective if we had a president we could trust. Host that is the headline in the new york times. Pence will control all messaging from Health Officials. If the Health Officials want to speak publicly, they need to clear it through the Vice President , through the white house before they do so. Ohio, independent. Caller hi, good morning. Cspanbeen watching since mid20s and i manage a medical office. I try to be a volunteer and donate. Trumpk of confidence in and pence is so great that if i had my way, i would have them both arrested and i would have nancy pelosi be in charge. Thank you so much for letting me speak my voice today. Host marcia, new jersey. Democratic caller. Caller good morning. I want washington to protect people with great concern for politicse which is not as usual. It is human life now. This is not a democrat or republican issue. It is a human response. I want a candidate for the Democrat Party to be aware of this virus and address it. We have many problems in this country, but we have to work on this virus and make it a priority now. Thank you so much for letting me speak about this, because it is a great concern for human life. Thank you so much. Indiana, right, democratic caller. Howard, you are letting we are letting you tell washington about what you think about their responsive far. Failing, the trump administrations response to this has failed. He is adding more confusion. He is undermining the confidence in this administrations ability to handle this. Host what do you. 2 what do you point to . Caller his coffers call yesterday or the day before Conference Call yesterday or the day before where he was giving misleading facts about how close we are to resolving this. His ignorance is a blatant on how to handle this. I am not sure why this whole country isnt outraged on how unfit this man is for office. Busily, just obviously, it is moving at a pace obviously it is moving at a pace faster than we are able to solve. This issue is really much moving much more rapidly in a negative way then we are understanding. Trump is totally inadequate for this. He should be impeached on this alone. Host critics are pointing to the reaction of the markets and how he has addressed the coronavirus in his public statement. Nancy pelosi yesterday talked about how it was important to reinsure reassure the markets. We are hoping to work in a bipartisan way to stop the spread to have serious prevention, sciencebased, evidencebased decisionmaking with professionals who know the territory of science and epidemiology to do the job. Dropped 3000, 2500 as of last night. Again, weurbing, but want to instill confidence, prevent without panicking people about this. The market will do what it does with the invisible hand. It does show some fragility on the part of the market that it would drop so much. Again, it cannot affect what we do. We are there to prevent and not panic people on the subject. The president said something so strange that you really have to wonder he said the reason the markets dropped is because of the debate the other night. The market dropped 1800 points before the debate the other night. The market dropped while he was speaking yesterday at his press conference. Lets not be silly about what that is. Host the wall street Journal Editorial Board this morning has this headline on their piece the coronavirus is not partisan , they write. It is not too soon to recognize that washington is already politically ill with delirium. Senator schumer, almost at the same moment he was joining Speaker Pelosi went onto the floor of the senate recycling this towering and dangerous and confidence line. Heres a suggestion. We heard from mr. Trump to reassure americans, donna protective suit and meet with ill or sequestered, especially coming from the germaphobe president , this would be an act of leadership even Chuck Schumer would have a hard time attacking. Here is the democratic leader from new york on the floor yesterday. The president must stop trying to minimize the coronavirus threat. His attempts at spinning the facts are not credible. They are harmful to the respect to the federal response. In order to prevent overreaction, it is essential that the officials level with the American People, telling the American People the truth and coming up with solutions to solve it is the way to calm people down. Not simply saying do not worry about it. And then spending time blaming others. That is going to make them more worried. Lets let the science and facts guide us. The American People do not need or want uninformed opinions from its leaders. They want the truth. Host Chuck Schumer on the floor. The Washington PostEditorial Board right mixed messages on the coronavirus board. President trump is right in wanting to calm the atmosphere but his administration has delivered mixed messages. They need to get their act together. The mission from mr. Trump is to feed the reason, not the dread. That is the Washington PostEditorial Board. The leader in the senate, mitch mcconnell, the republican, he was also on the floor yesterday. Here is what he outlined. Next up, by lawmakers . This virus lawmakers to tackle this virus. The coronavirus does not care about bickering. This new disease is not going to press pause so members can engage in performative outrage that gets us farther from results, rather than closer. This is our first step in confronting the challenge. Congress must be prepared to Work Together across the aisle in a collaborative way and get results. Fortunately, it appears we will have an opportunity to put this cynicism behind as quickly and move forward in a unified way. Bipartisan discussions are underway among our colleagues on the Appropriations Committee have confidence that our colleagues are capable of handling this quite well. I have faith the committee will consider the right some to appropriate at this time to ensure our nations needs are fully funded. I hope they can work explicitly so the full senate will be able to take up the legislation within the next two weeks. I am hoping to move through this challenge and put partisanship aside and uphold the spirit of cooperation and collaboration that this will require. Host your confidence level in washington. Frederick burke, virginia, republican. Caller i am very confident. I think 15 people have the coronavirus and were sick. That is no longer true. I think in california, they want to panic. I see the governor. I see counties. Say i see mayor de blasio talking about handing out 1. 5 Million Masks and panicking people. What is going on in the stock market and i am still fully invested i have faith in donald trump. What is really going on is the supply chain. This goes to show america exactly what has been happening over the past 25 years when we gave all of our factories, all of our jobs to china. Every bit of them. I think having factories in mexico helps quite a bit. Last year, i bought one article from china. I paid four dollars less for some things than i did before donald trump brought up china in tariff. I think it is a wonderful thing that is going on and people need to get a hold of the fact is, we have supply chain problems. We need american factories in america. Then we will not be panicked, because there is no excuse. The common cold is coronavirus. Why in the world are we getting panicked over this . I think donald trump did the right thing. I think the democrats are politicizing. Host roger, warren, michigan. Your turn. Inler i have no confidence this guy sitting in the white house right now. Never, never trust a person who speaks of themselves in the third party all the time. It is incredible. How can they continue doing this . How can they be blinded by this hideousy. Ous see he knows more than the generals. Mr. President , and i use that term loosely, why dont you get into one of the laboratories and create an antiviral for this particular disease, since you are so brilliant. The people who would vote for you are the same ones who over 2000 years ago were screaming the name aratas the name barabbas. Jeff, democratic color. Caller i have no faith in donald trump. The reason for that is, you cannot trust their word of a habitual liar. What is america going to do if he decides now, it is not a virus, it is nuclear
