Trump and our wonderful first lady melania they are both positive and they are now in quarantine. And weve also heard from the physician to the president this morning he sent out this statement which reads in part that they are both doing well at this time and that they plan to remain at home within the white house during their convalescent so that the latest now from the president s physician now the president and the first ladys positive test results came hours after the white house announced the senior aide hope hicks had come down with the virus and in this video you see the president boarding marine one. The helicopter there on wednesday he was headed to a rally. In minnesota. And then shortly after youll see in a moment, we have hope hicks walking across the grass to join the president on board that helicopter surrounded by other close aides to the president now says that was winds that was wednesday was wednesday, she gets on the chopper inside at the moment that right feeling fine but then by the time they landed. In minnesota and were at that rally. She started experiencing symptoms and then she self isolated on air force one on the way back was tested that evening. The results came back thursday morning that she was positive and despite that the president though continued on thursday to go attend another private fundraiser in new jersey which was in close contact with people inside that enclosed room thats why theyre so many dominoes this morning everybody is getting tested because when youre in close contact with somebody as he was on wednesday. And you know that they have coronavirus which they knew on wednesday and then when you the next day going do things. You know they the cdc recommends that you isolate that you not want to do things so now everybody else needs to be tested. I do want to mention that the secretary of health and human services, alex azar came back negative treasury secretary steve Administration Officials are saying that they are negative. The president was on fox news last night. After confirming that helps hicks had a coronavirus and so he was talking to fox news about this still waiting for his test results to come back at the time right thats what we were told, lets listen. Thats very hard when you with soldiers what year airman the marines and i would tend to police with him so much and when they come over to its very hard to say stay back he stepped back, you know its its a tough kind of a situation is a terrible thing today. They want to hug you and they want to kiss you because we really have done a good job dormant. You get close and. Things happen. And it is it is hard to tell our own kids you know stay back to where im asked not to hug each other thats been. The difficult thing about containing coronavirus with anybody but were all told that thats what were supposed to do so because there was a lot of close contact without maskwearing within the administration were looking at a lot of tests waiting for all of those tests to come in this morning because whoever has a quarantine means they cant be active in the government so whos going around the place so we want to talk to our political analysts about michael yaki joining us this morning and michael so here we are in october and this year was a surprise to hear that the president now has come down with coronavirus the Ripple Effects. Will be foreign why dont you think. I do and you know first of i think as with all americans we wish the president and the first lady and anyone who has contracted the well and speedy recovery. But this as you know an enormous implications for the nation 4 policy for the election. And you can talk about all that right now lets talk about one thing that jumped into my mind was. If we have. You know the president and his senior echelon of advisers. Coming down with this could this also impact the Supreme Court justice nomination because we have we know that the president s chief of staff was fair in close contact with the president and hope hicks and ferrying around the nominee and also in contact with Mitch Mcconnell to over these last few days. Could this have Ripple Effects in that realm as well. I mean we can really begin to know what the Ripple Effects are until we have actually have this is a moment for the white house be transparent as something that they have not been with the pandemic since the very beginning as we know from the body bob woodward work because this is where we have to and we have to know what for example, what kind of test. Picks have and when was your last guest before she actually went to the debate on to say before she boarded air force one. And marine one on on wednesday and actually air force one on wednesday as well because people when it went interesting point here is that at. What kind of tested they give pets. It gives them just a rapid test to begin the pcr test which is which is more accurate. You just you have administration has to come clean. And part of this is through that process of disclosing how theyre doing the Contact Tracing when when was hope hicks exposed. How long has she been essentially when was she asymptomatic when she become symptomatic and therefore that we determine the length of time during which she is exposed and possibly. I could and infected other people other than as we as we know now the president and the first lady depends only got the rapid test they need to make sure that they say theyd also did a pcr test as well because the rapid test has a lot of false negatives and thats probably why they didnt catch hope its me i we dont know right to be baswedan then then as you go through this. If if if judge barrett for example were to come down with this and had to quarantine i think this would affect timing on the nomination, Mitch Mcconnell where to get it in effect in and have to quarantine this would affect the nomination as well so there are a lot of different balls in the air here. But it all begins with understanding trip. The transparency of the administration in disclosing the timeline who who else may have been infected. When how and you go from and go from there its the only way to inspire. Confidence which the American People have had very little with in terms of this administration and their leadership or lack thereof with regard to the pandemic will the press the president said it himself last night when he did his interview on fox news that. You know hope hicks could have gotten from any number of places because hes like well, you know were out there and shes out there talking to big groups he brought up the military, but regardless and he said its real hard you wearing a mask, or youre not you want to get close to people they want to hug you and he said you know so what do you get into things happen because because theyre operating with so much you know close contact that Contact Tracing is just got to be overwhelming. Weve seen some people in congress. Get coronavirus and be taken off the floor immediately and out of the loop and isolate that way and so and they tried to continue their jobs remotely the president could do that he can still isolate and do the job right. Well with the prison really needs to do is to is to say. Guess what Everyone Needs to wear a mask and engage in social distancing because. I mean when use theres theres something to this and you dont want to pile on when when someone is is ill or anything like that because thats just good form the fact is that when you saw for example at the his family come in they had entered the building Wearing Masks but as soon as they got into the room itself. They took them off and you you see you see that theres this theres this defiance with regard to what fauci and with redfield has said that the cdc about the need for need the importance risk of infection reduction through the use of masks. This is what the president needs to be talking about now he should be saying look its hope hicks had been wearing mask a shooting cajun social distancing didnt people didnt you engage in did follow proper protocols, especially for the people who are closest to the president , i mean this is a National Security matter in terms of. How of terms of our country if were going to we need to protect the president. And if youre going to protect the president. You should at least for the people around them around him or her. Have the kind of protocols in place that maximize that kind of protection and just giving them test a lot is it going to do it because if theyre out there getting exposed. The time between the and contact with the president can be all it takes and thats as were seeing right now this is a serious National Security issue thats why of course they should have me released this morning that pence attention native but again transparency was a pcr test was it the one at the end are they going to repeat the test to ensure there wasnt any false negatives thats the kind of assurance that the market and this country and our allies really need to know about right now mention market right taking in in pretrial world 20 minutes away from the opening bell, do you think though the president can. Reverse his messaging on masks like that i mean it was just on the night of the debate itself. He was already sort of demeaning joe biden for wearing a mask so frequently when he didnt think it was necessary in fact we have that sound bite will play and then well talk more. President jiang now you have a gun to increasingly question the effectiveness of masks as a disease preventer and in fact recently you have cited the issue of of waiters touching their mouse and touching plight are you questioning know i think i understand if you look i mean i have a masquerade here i put a mask on it you know what i think i need it. Tonight is an example, everybodys had a test and youve had social distancing and all of the things that you have to but when needed when needed i wear mask, okay, let me ask i dont have i dont wear masks like him every time you hes got a mess he could be speaking. 200 feet away from any shows up with the biggest mask ive ever seen. Its that kind of attitude of sort of like a laughing at people who are. It actually Wearing Masks all the time to try to prevent the spread because testing as we know is not enough. I mean the idea that masks when you need it this is an invisible killer. 207,000 americans have died. None of them expected expected this to happen to them. None of them knew that the first to next to them at that church at the grocery store. Wherever. Had ed coven was going to give to them and their and something bad was going to happen to them. The mask is because you dont know who has it social distancing is because you dont know who has it and thats the i know that joe biden is in a very good and tight bubble. He wears this mask, the practice social distancing. You see every picture of him talking with anyone whether its. They just recently on his truck on his. It was a Stock Campaign is talking with the labor leader and he is on the train. He is one hole seat in between him and that and that person and theyre both Wearing Masks. I mean, is this going to be sort of that ebenezer scrooge in the morning christmas morning. A weakening that will come out and say masks everyone i dont know, but but but he should because lets not forget hope hicks has symptoms which means she may actually be various she actually may become very sick. And the fact is even though the president may not have symptoms now. He may still get symptoms. And experience sickness later depending on the course of disease we know that it takes a couple days for to build the kind of viral load in your body search really making you making you ill force johnson initially felt okay and then in 3 or 4 days. He was in the hospital and an oxygen for an entire week. This is in this is not this is a very serious issue and the more that the president is transparent on these issues. More the administration is transparent if if miss trish officials at least on their own started Wearing Masks in their normal everyday. Interactions not just when they going to capitol hill well bit were basically. Speaker pelosi has mandated that they can enter the building without a mask. Thats going to be important because there are a lot of people out there who i can tell ive relatives in pennsylvania in rural pennsylvania. And they get. You know its sort of nasty looks because they wear masks all the time wherever they go. Its because the president the president marks masks and. Thats thats the kind of lack of leadership and the norm that hes creating that continues to allow this virus unlike in europe and other places. To be out of control fire virus loads are still rising across this country. And this is before flu season hits. Thats not. A good situation for the safety of our country and for. Our loved ones, your loved ones people were watching your watching kron 4 right now and this is an important this is important moment for the president to act. Lets see if hes up for that moment when talk about why this can be so destabilizing for. The world, you know for for when this happens to a world leader has happened to with like you said the leader of the uk has happened to him i havent bolsonaro in brazil. The stock markets 15 minutes from now they open it. It just how wide is this triggers so much. Uncertainty and chaos. Well first of all lets lets remember some apparently seem to get lost. From the sun minister from at least from the white house. This disease is. 3 to 4 times more lethal. Then the for someone of the president s age and health. Its even its even more lethal. You consider that the when you when you again this is what the importance of Contact Tracing when you consider the succession in the United States you pence you have Speaker Pelosi then it goes to senator grassley and expect to secretary of state etcetera under the succession act you know we have to make sure you know all those people are are well and taking care of and in stable, but i mean i in our government. It has always been the stable and orderly transition of power even in terrible times even in. Its s a nation john kennedy or when or when Ronald Reagan was shot. There are there are mechanisms whether their automatic under the constitution or statutory and succession act that allow our government to continue but its still scary thing because out how contagious this is and how and how lethal it can be depending on your age an age and stage, your health that that in and of itself is very destabilizing. 207,000 people dead is destabilizing. You know this doesnt it its except for you know the fact that young very Young Children have a remarkable resiliency know they can still catch it and spread it. This hasnt just been missed. It doesnt really discriminate. Among who it takes who would infect and who it may take from take take from the world so this is this is something that is still there. We have our country has yet to really deal with it and as long as it as long as that happens. Institutions or at potential you lets. Lets lets take for example, you know you have a lot of older people in the Supreme Court to witness. What if judge barrett had it was confirmed took her seat and in fact everyone there mean these are the kinds of things we all have to worry about that. We should we we need better we need better leadership quite frankly in terms of the federal government. The federal government response so. Quite another question is will this result in the president directing newton just cut a deal now with Speaker Pelosi on covid relief even holding back theyve been saying were going to go up to that number if i were the president i would just say the heck with it. Give the speaker which he needs get it out there because obviously were going to need a lot of money okay well we want to mention of a new chin has tested. Negative that we have that this morning.
