Last half hour Vice President pepresident pence landing in washington state. He be brought uptodate on the crisis in the state of washington. In this country, 12 people have died from the coronavirus, 11 of them died in the state of washington. 70s of country 221 cases have been confirmed in the state of washington. And earliers today, the Vice President was in minnesota. Where he visited 3m plant, in january, 3m pledged to ramp up its production of protective face mask to prevent a shortage because of the virus spread, the Vice President spoke plainly just what the American People expect of their leaders. The Vice President , saying that while there are enough tests for those to have believed to have been exposed there are not tests for all americans yet. We dont have enough tests today to meet what we anticipate will beda the demand going forward. Those who we believe have been exposed, for those who are showing symptoms, we have been able to provide the testing. As more americans take an interest in this or have concerns about this, we want to make sure they have access to a coronavirus test, as well, w we have made progress. Lou straight forward talk from the Vice President , and today, Senate Passing 8 billion spending bill to fun the the d the governments response to coronavirus, bill has been sent to president s desk for his signature. He is expected to sign it. Joining us now to bring us uptodate dr. Anthony fauci, director of National Institute offalle diseases, a member of president Trumps Coronavirus Task force, and it is a always a pleasure to have you with us, dr. , doctor, lets start with the issue of washington state. The nation is focused on washington state. Where the Vice President is. And what going on there. Because it seems to be if you will, at the vanguard of this outbreak. Well,an lou, that is a good point, i think what they have decided to do in washington is actuallyy quite appropriate. As you mentioned washington has what called Community Spread of infection. It is outto there in the community. At a certain level, not sure what level. But you say Community Spread you are not sure who or who was languaoriginal index case, you o do social distancing, that means, trying to avoid crowds, having people do telework, and certain medication of School Schedules that is the thing h tt prevents the interaction among people which would lead to further spread. It falls under category of mitigation. Lou sure. And making sure that as many possible as we can protect from the virus. Protect themselves, and with the help of our government at all levels. The virus itself, it is very hard to get a good sense of this, we could put up a graphic that shows worldwide the deaths, from this virus. And the number of cases. Could we put up that full screen, please. There it is. It shows 3348 deaths to this point. Almost 98,000 people infected worldwide, and recovered 54 thousand. And doctor, irl would like to start m with number recovered, t seems we see that number rising as a percentage of those who have been confirmed to have the virus. Is that significant . Well, it is. Because even though the people who get into trouble. As i have mentioned before, on the show, that people who wind up getting seriously ill, and dying are usually people heavily weighted toward the elderly with underlying conditions like heart descreezdisease, where vast majf people, more than 80 do well, they may get ill, but they recover spontaneously with little medical intervention. So that is the group that the larger group. The Smaller Group are the vulnerable ones that is where mortality is high, and those who are at higher risk, they are the individuals we need to protect, the Vulnerable People in that category of higher risk, as you said, correctly, the vast majority of the people will recover sta spontaneously. Lou watching response in community after community. This spread of the disease, does it amount to globally now . In all of the countries in which it is spreading, is it now by any othe by any definition, it a opinioapen pa pandemic. Youke know World Health Organization makes that determination, they have not made that yet, they think that latest number, with 79. There is not sustained san transmission globally, there are a lot of country with cases, therehr are Community Spread in some. Some of the countries particularly are problematic, one is south korea, a considerable number of cases that are Community Spread, certain regions in northern italy another group, japan another one. There are countries that are hit much harder than others. The reason that w. H. O. Is not calling it a pandemic, they feel it has not really reached that diffuse degree of spread. But to be honest, lou, were not going to do anything different right now, no matter what they callll it. It seems a matter of semantics and meaning and whatever the weight of the word is to the world hell world h organization, you and other officials fighting against the coronavirus are doing what vow to do for an epidemic, what is the matter, think global but act local, never been truer than in the case of this battle against this virus. The mortality rate, there seems in national media, almost a such a sensational approach to this the death rate mortality rate, in this were really not going to know, are we . Until it does reach a more diffuse level in this country. Are we . Well, lou, again reason there is confusion about the stated mortality rate you hear, is right now the rate that w. H. O. Talks about is about 2 to 3 . Maybe some days 3, some day 2, but between 2 and 3 . That is a pure mag mag math competition, you do number of deaths divided by number of cases, do you that you get 2 to 3 , you model about individuals who might be infected but dont come to attention of any medical authorities, they are madely mildly symptom attic, were not sure where it is right now. But likely is less than 2 or 3 , if you count the people who are infested but without or minimal symptoms. Lou and Vice President today, Vice President pence, saying clearly that we dont have the testing kits for all americans, right now, we have managed to get kits to those who are symptommic or who f think they have been exposed to the virus, and i have to tell you, i love the Vice President s candor, i think that audience appreciates his straight forwardness, and honesty, we have come to expect from this administration. To get your sense of where we are and what were facing in the next week or two, i know no one with certainty say, but give us a sense of what you think the next two weeks will look like. Yeah, what almost certainly will happen well see more cases. We will see more cases in the seattle area, i think what they are doing with social discipline or social distancing will make number less than would have been. And more likely cases in other parts of the country, where it winds up will departmen depend e respond to it, how we respond to it, to identification and isolation and contact tracing. Other regions of nation with same issue now in seattle, i under score it, i think that authorities in seattle have done the right thing, in instituting this mitigation, that will deputy on how that response occurs it difficult to predict, but to say well see more cases, how many more is unpredictable. Lou my last question. We understand that the virus has mutated once. Have we seen evidence it has been there have been further mutations . Lou, it an rnarnavirus, they mutate all of the time, whether that is functional significant is still unclear, likely not a significant difference. Lou dr. Fauci, thank you, sir, we appreciate you being with us. Thank you, lou. Lou dr. 4 fauci one of the great medical minds. And senator Lindsey Graham today once again, talking out of both sides of his mouth and speaking in only half truth. The senator met with trump at white house. They talked about the senators interest in immigration. Comprehensive immake. Yoimmigration, youremember amnee Supreme Court would strike down the obama era daca manager proge is what graham said after he met with the president. We dont know what will happen in june, president put an off or table for 1. 8 million daca eligible folks, but we wants to get something to address the underlying problem. And i think that the take away for me, if court rules in president s favor well not allow those folks to have their lives turned upside down but we try to put together a package that protects daca population, and there are things that address how the system broken well cross that bridge whether we get there. Lou i dont know what bridge graham is talking but he is speaking for the president , that an odd place for any senator on be. Lets b tell you what president has said, and has done. Thisd senator was speaking of te president s offer on daca from 2018. That was to be for 25 billion to secure the southern border 25 billion in funds, to build the wall, something that dems did not accept. There is no offer from this president on the table. And that is what senator graham left out. Of his debriefing if you will. Senator gra graham might look at what happened to Republican Party last time t he was pushing Immigration Reform on a president. Back in 2006, senator prove socalled comprehensive Immigration Reform that would provide a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants. You know. Amnesty. In that year, demographs had net democrat had a net gain of 37 seats in house and senate, won back control of both chambers for First Time Since confiden1994, here we are in 20h the well, flexible senator from south carolina. Trying to push the president toward immigration legislation in an elec an election year. According to gallup, by the way, 5 approval in his ratings in 2006, he did it in a week, one week, a disaster for the Republican Party. Graham seems willing to risk the presidency, senate and house. Just for a couple sound bites he gets to peddle to National Left wing media, he would do well to remember only candidate who ran in 2016 promising to cut illegal ilimmigration won. Up next, mitt romney at it again, at it again this time saying, Senate Republican should not be investigating the bidens or bar is bhe he tells who ys charge, ing be in take that up with rudy guliani.

Lou breaking news tonight, Justice DepartmentInspector General releasing a new report about the fbi a decisions to drop investigations of several radical islammist terrorists who later carried out deadly attacks across country, identifying 6 attacks fort hood shooting in 2009. Nadaed that nadal hassan. And garland, texas, orlando pulse nightclub, and new york, new jersey bombing effort lausd are dale ft. Lauderdale airport, the shootings taking place, and terrorist attacks, rino senator mitt romney today not supporting ron Jennifer John investigation to hunter biden and burisma. Here is what romney rino called the investigation. No question but that the okayartheappearance of looking o burisma and hunter biden appears political. I think that people are tire the of these political investigations, if there is something that is significant it be done by fbi or another agency not as political as a committee our body. Lou well, that was the ultimate romney rino. Well take up you on that worked out for him. As we take up the issue with our ateam, senator johnson threatening to sou supervisor sa documents related to hunter biden rule on burisma. We will remind you romneys former top adviser in 2012, in his campaign served on burisma board alongside hunter biden, and also weeks ago that mitt romney was supporting Hunter Bidens testimony, and in exchange for john boltons testimony in radical dimms impeachment sham. Joining us jim hansen, former u. S. Army special forces. Kt mcfarland. Author of new book. Revolution, trump, washington and we the people. Kt, we start with you. With these fbi dropping investigations of terrorists. And had plenty of people to harass, and attempt to over 3 ththrow the president of united states. Myself included, i speak from personal experience, i think that fbi has a lot of problems, a lot to answer for, they have missed terrorist attacks they seem like the keystone cops, you point out, that same time they devote a huge amount of resource in something they knew from the very beginning had nothing do it, because they wanted to take down President Trump, they were doing it by taking down ern around him. Lou jim. You know, there was a concerted effort to decouple terrorism and islam that started during george bushs administration and got dangerously bad as we saw during obama administration. Now you have to say, right now that not all muslims are terrorist, but islamist terrorists should be identified as dangerous, and fbi stopped doing that, that is where they stopped investigating, they have flood o blood on their hands for doing that. It is outrageous, that this agency that once was storied and the stuff of legends is now the subject of i mean investigations. The political corruption of that agency, is overwhelming. It remains so, and were watching investigations proceed, but at a snails pace, it as if we dont have our heart in the right place. This is a agency that has been out of control, of the American People for a very long time. The reporthereport respect fl but gone. I thought they were my friends until they came knocking on my door unannounced and tried to set me up with a perjury charge. I think that fbi has a lot to answer for, i am frustrated at what seems to be the slow case of investigating the investigators, even though the reports come out one excuse and delay after another, it is time it clean house. Your thoughts. Lets do it, sad to watch political witchhunts go on against President Trump by people who put their partisan politics ahead of their sworn report responsibility to do the, of the American People, it would be a blessing for American People ton it would not be tolerated by putting them in shackles and frog marching them out the front of the building. Lou that is where i get to say well said, both of you. Quote from mitt romney, protesting ron johnsons investigation of the bidens and burisma. This is from mitt romney. If we could put up the full screen from january 28 this ye year tonight, the ultimate romney rino, does not think so any mo more. Thank you, utah for sending that that to us. Kt and jim thank you so much. Up next Chuck Schumer said he is sorry for yesterdays threats against two Supreme Court justices, and he cowardly blamed his childhood home for his remarks, which were clearly threats, we will be back with ed rollins, stay with us. Autosave your way there with chase. Chase. Make more of whats yours. Sleep this amazing . Thats a zzzquil pure zzzs sleep. Our liquid has a unique botanical blend, while an optimal melatonin level means no nextday grogginess. Zzzquil pure zzzs. Naturally superior sleep. Lou Chuck Schumer, bronx thug, today offering a weak apology for his absolutely ridiculous threats against Supreme Court justices Brett Kavanaugh and neil gorsuch. I am from brooklyn, we speak in strong language, i should not have used words i did, but in no way was i making a threat, i would never do such a thing, leader Mitch Mcconnell knows that. Let me be clear im not outraged, i think he looks like a fool, he has never been in a fist fight, plays a thug from new york then starts whining for forgiveness. Is that the way they do it from brooklyn, i dont think t so. I am from texas, i am plain spoken as well. Perhaps stronger than mr. Schumer, i would have this thought for him, you are al awfl you ar ignor ignorant and a abse disgrace to the bronx. Joins me, ed rollins, welcome, you can be plain spoken. I dont care about brooklyn, he is u. S. Senate, she number one in senate, he there threatened two member of the Supreme Court, and warned them that wrath of god would come down on them, that is illegal, improper and outrageous for leader of a legislative body to make those kind of changes. Lou all lawyers in swamp said we cantaw make it criminal. I think it could be criminal. It could. Lou i leave that to Justice Department, but i rea
