Thanks for joining us, im elizabeth macdonald. Weve got a jampacked show tonight, the evening edit starts right now. Elizabeth thanks for joining us. Youre watching the fox business network. We are staying on this live shot of whats going on right now at the white house as marine one is about to take the president its unclear whether the first lady will join him to Walter Reed Medical Center. Congressman mark green is a former e. R. Physician. Your reaction to what is happening, hell be undergoing tests there. Why do you think there is a need for further testing for the president . Sure, liz, thanks for having me on the show. They can do things like cat scans, look at his lungs, you know, the tissue in his lungs, you know, chest xrays, all that kind of stuff, advanced lab work. So its a good place for him to go. I understand hes going to walk out to air force one, so hes obviously still in a mild symptom, you know, spectrum. But i just think its cautious and a good move. Elizabeth okay. So hes got a mild cough. The first lady has a mild cough and a headache. He has reportedly fever, headaches, congestion and a cough. Next week is critical for them as this moves forward, right . Yeah, absolutely. So the cdc revised its guidelines taking quarantine to those who are positive from 14 days to 10 days. But what it did include, i you have to be feverfree for about 3 days before you could release, even if it was 10 days. Those are the things theyll be looking at, just following his symptoms, particularly his rest respiratory status. And then, of course, one of the complications of this disease is blood clotting, so theyll probably be monitoring that kind of stuff too. Elizabeth White House Press secretary Kayleigh Mcenany said the president was given a single 8gram dose of regenerons antibody cocktail. That really goes after the spike protein on the coronavirus. Hes also been taking zinc, vitamin d, pepcid, melatonin and a daily aspirin. It looks like theyre, of course, really doing the regimen, the fullbore regimen for him. Thats what youre seeing too, right . Yeah, i think so. Thats all of the stuff that so far has been shown to show some significant improvement. You know, vitamin d, zinc, all of those things are clinically showing promise particularly as it relates to early disease. And the antibodies, they actually prevent the virus from penetrating the lung tissue. So it actually is if you can get that on very early, it does wonders. Elizabeth okay. Lets go through this. Top adviser hope hicks, rnc chair Ronna Mcdaniel testing positive. Testing negative are the president s son, barron, also joe biden and his wife, dr. Jill biden, as did Kamala Harris and nancy pelosi. Amy Coney Barrett tested negative, she did have it in the summer. Also negative ivanka trump, rudy giuliani, Jared Kushner and the White House Press secretary. Theyre going to be monitored closely, i would guess, right . Typically its two negative tests. Probably 24 hours, maybe 48, but they will get a second test just to make sure. Because, remember, the incubation period for this is pretty long. Originally we thought it was as long as a 15 days. It turns out now that on average its about 5 days. Theyll get tested and, you know, the Contact Tracing sort of indicate when that second test needs to be done. Elizabeth you know, this spreads like the most lethal, dangerous cold. It is highly contagious, and, you know, but for most everyone its even those over the 70, i think recover. They recover. Im not going to ask you to speculate about the prognosis, but the drugs that hes given are pretty aggressive, and theyve been the regeneron has proven to be successful in recent testing. Do you think the first lady will have of to go on it . I think it all depends on symptom complex. If what i understood today from what i understood today, the president s symptoms started mild and got slightly worse over the course of the day, so i think thats whats driving their precautions both with the therapeutics that theyre using as well as sending him over to walter reed for some tests. But i dont know about melania, i havent heard what her symptom complex is. Thatll be what drives their Decision Making on therapeutics. Elizabeth you know, theres been criticism he held rallies, mocked biden for wearing a mask, so theres a pushback on the president after hes been diagnosed. When you heard that, what was your first thought . You know, this is just democrats mostly, liberal media being bullies, and, you know, taking advantage of a situation. The president has been very clear, you know, if youre out in the middle of a pasteur or a field pasture and youre 200 yards away from a human being, everybody agrees you dont need a mask. Now, if youre in close proximity to someone, you need a mask. And the president has said in circumstances where its warranted, i wear a mask. There are plenty of images where hes doing that. The people who are, you know, taking advantage of this, they hate donald trump, theyve a hated him all throughout his presidency, theyre shown it by their actions whether its impeachment or all the various investigations, the horrible things that theyve said about him. This is what i would expect from these people. Elizabeth you know, the president s former white house doctor, dr. Ronny jackson, said the president basically theres plenty of time between now and the october 15th debate for him to test negative twice. Is that doable . Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, remember, for the vast majority of people have mild symptoms, you know, only about 58 get critical disease, 15 or so wind up being admitted. Is so the chances are, weigh in Donald Trumps favor. Just from what we know about the disease now. Plus hes in great shape, he doesnt have any comorbidities. Hes getting the best care. I think hes going to be fine, and i think therell be plenty of time for him to recover and be ready to go on 15, october. Blel. Elizabeth well, the fear is that hes overweight. Thats considered a comorbidity, right . You know, the indication is a bmi, body mass index, of 30 or higher. Donald trump is 30. 5. And thats because, you know, hes a tall guy. Elizabeth okay. They calculate the bmi based on height, whats expected. Maybe hes slightly overweight or a little overweight. It is considered a comorbidity, the data does suggest that those people who are above 30 have slightly higher risk. Elizabeth okay. I want to move on to this, you know, critics keep saying and analysts keep saying this is a time for calm, just be calm right now. But multiple news organizations immediately hit the panic button after the news came out that he and the first lady tested positive. Basically youre hearing things like this is the worst, most dangerous moment the u. S. Government has ever faced. Thats coming out of news outlets like cnn. When you hear headlines like that, analysis like that, what is your first reaction . Well, first, i only hear that from you, liz, because i would never watch that network, you know . They are at least lately, some of their reporting is just horrible. There are a few good guys over there. But for the most part, i dont watch that network. Honestly, i think thats absurd. I mean, the president is able to make 100 of the decisions he has to make, hes walking out to the aircraft today. Hes hired phenomenally competent people. You look at a guy like mike pompeo, those the guys that are on this president s team are fantastic. They are good people, the president s fine. This is absurd for them to say that. Elizabeth all right. Congressman, its great to see you, and thank you so much for coming on. Were going to stay on this breaking news story throughout the hour.

He will be working out of the president ial offices at walter reed. This is out of an abundance of caution after he and the first lady tested positive for covid19. The president s symptoms are as follows; fever, cough and congestion. The first lady is experiencing makes. This is were staying on this story. We are going to be talking to doctors and giving you updates throughout the hour. Heres the other story were staying on, media fear mongering and hysteria over this news. This media facing a growing credibility crisis, a credibility crisis in the midst of a Public Health crisis. Just take a look at this. But this is a very Serious Health threat. You are second in line for the presidency. Has the white house contacted you about the continuity of government . No, they havent. The sad truth is that we really cant at a face value what comes out of the value on this. I think we have to ask the questions, and we will continue to do so. I think we need to look at one thing immediately, we are now in the midst of a National Security crisis that is different than any one in our history in this country. We are concerned about adversaries, particularly russia, taking advantage of this situation for its own purposes. We have to think about possible cyber manipulation of the markets. Elizabeth okay. Lets with welcome back to the show the hill media reporter joe concha. Joe, when you hear this, it seems like this is armchair analysis and speculation without reporting. Thats what we are finding when we look through what the media just said. Theyre asking questions, but its questions based not on, really on evidence or facts. Theyre exploiting what you just described before as a Public Health crisis involving the president of the united states, the first lady of the united states. You see that shot there of marine one about to go to walter reed. This is a very serious situation, we need serious reporting and not just throwing things out there like that monotan you played. Before, i got some more doozies there, joy reid said, quote shes got a cell phone full of texts from people who arent sure whether to believe trump actually has covid. Is he doing this just to get out of the debates . That got 65,000 likes on twitter. It should be deleted immediately. You have a cnn Foreign Affairs analyst who used to work in the Obama Administration that says the u. S. Government is facing its most dangerous moment right now because the president , you know, the implication is hes incapacitated and were vulnerable. No, look, were not. Is the pentagon closed . Are our Defense Systems down . Is the president incapacitated . Of course not to all three of those questions. So so that is scare mongering. But you even have, and this is just incredible, the New York Times now arguing that President Trump perhaps should not be on the ballot. Look, theres already been 2 million votes cast, all right, in early voting. 26 states have voted. How do you get him off the ballot exactly in that situation . Yeah, were seeing the story exploited that benefits democrats or joe biden. Elizabeth you know, this is a serious moment. The critics are saying does the media need a mute button along with the debates. Marc thiessen is saying this is a great day to block people who show a basic lack of decency. So were also seeing these other stories, you know, beyond the hysteria, critics are also calling out many in the media showing a sense of glee, as you pointed out, and, you know, people are saying theres just no place for this. Lets break in here. Were seeing the blades on marine one in motion right now as the president is onboard. The president , as we are just hearing right now, breaking news, the president is onboard marine one. He is headed to Walter Reed Medical Center after testing positive for covid19. He will be going through a few days of tests, he will be working out of the president ial offices there. Marine one about to take off, youre looking at a live shot. Lets get back to joe on this. To what you were saying, filmmaker Michael Moore out with what critics are saying is a new offthewall cinematic conspiracy that makes e 9 11 conspiracies look tame in comparison. And its easily proven false. Michael moore says trump is not above, quote, weaponizing the virus to buy sympathy and buoying his chances in the election and he could be lying about his condition. Your to that. So basically what Michael Moore also said was that hes praying for covid19. In other words, hes praying for the death of the president of the united states. And hes saying also that hes faking it just like joy reid, as i pointed out earlier, hes trying to gain sympathy for himself. How does that remotely make sense 32 days out from an will election . If President Trump is faking it, that means all the doctors that are going to see him at walter reed, theyre in on it as is Melania Trump, as is hope hicks, as is the press secretary. We shouldnt listen to these people anymore or even broadcast anything that they say. They should be dismissed and shunned for what they are, conspiracy theorists, elizabeth, and nothing more. Elizabeth so you point out faking test results would require a whole range of people to do it and not talk about it. Here is marine one lifting off on the south lawn of the white house. The president is onboard, he is wearing a mask. He is heading to walter reed right at this moment to go through even more testing out of an abundance to of caution to make sure he will be on the path to recovery and to health. You know, so what were seeing in the Media Coverage today and throughout last night is really sort of failing the standards of what should or be reported when a president falls ill. Is the media credibility crisis growing . I dont know how it could get any worse, quite frankly, elizabeth. After everything that weve seen over this year and, again, these two stats bear repeating, gallup and the Knight Foundation did a poll just a couple weeks ago, 86 of the American People, so this isnt just a conservative republican thing, 86 of the American People believe that the press is biased. But more importantly, 84 say it bears the blame in this country. Your not informing anymore, youre pitting one group against another and telling people what they want to hear instead of what they should hear. If ive got to hear about russia one more time by any of these analysts, i dont know, maybe we should get bob mueller to look into it for two and a half years and see if he can conclude there was collusion with the Trump Campaign oh, thats right, he didnt. Carl bernstein, of all people, talking about how the russians are going to take over this electio
