This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. Here is our breaking news. We have the new numbers in. Coronavirus spreads. More than than 101,000 cases tonight were over the 100,000 mark. Over 1,500 people have died. Today, we hit another terrible milestone. The most reported deaths in a single day. The United States now has more cases of coronavirus than any other country in the world. The horrifying fact is here it is there will be more cases during the two hours of this show. And we are learning tonight that federal health fibofficials are green lighting a coronavirus test that can give results in less than 15 minutes. Thats good. And could accelerate testing in this country. But shortages of masks and swabs could blunt its impact. And tonights coronavirus briefing, the president veering into an airing of grievances against governors that he thinks arent sufficiently grateful. I think they should be appreciative because, you know what, when theyre not appreciative to me, theyre not appreciative to the army corps. Theyre not appreciative to fema. Its not right. These people. Theyre working 24 hours a day. Mike pence. I mean, mike pence. I dont think he sleeps anymore. These these are people that should be appreciated. He calls all the governors. I tell him. I mean, im a different type of person. I say, mike, dont call the governor of washington. Youre wasting your time with him. Dont call the woman in michigan. It doesnt make any difference. Dont call the governor of washington . No. You know what i say . If they dont treat you right, i dont call. All right. So he just said it there. Think about it. Okay . You dont have to really think about that, that much. Just think about what he is saying there. He said appreciate me or i wont call you. Wont call about the deadly pandemic that is killing americans in your state. Americans and and after, you know, more than three years in office, still trying to put the blame on someone else. When i took this over, it was an empty box. We didnt have testing. We didnt have anything. We had a broken system there. We had a broken system with stockpiling. We had a lot of broken systems. And im not just blaming president obama. Okay. So, after three years in office, why isnt it his responsibility to make sure the nation is safe and that were prepared . And that we have the needs that we we have what it needs what we need in an emergency situation. Isnt that thats his job. President trump is the commander in chief. Hes not responsible for the invisible enemy thats killing americans . A virus doesnt know or care about that. But he is responsible for the nations response. Except he wont take that responsibility. He still tries to blame his predecessors. I want you to just listen to what the president says tonight about ventilators. Ventilators are a big deal. And weve delivered thousands of them. Ventilators are a big deal. They are. To say the least. But he sure didnt seem to think so just last night. I dont believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. You know, you go into major hospitals sometimes, theyll have two ventilators. He said it. Im just playing it back for you. So dont blame me. That, as the president signs the largest emergency aid package in this countrys history. 2 trillion. Including direct payments to Many Americans and unprecedented expansion in Unemployment Benefits and 350 billion in Small Business loans. And you will notice not a lot of social distancing there among people who are mostly in their 60s and 70s. The youngest is 54. But a sign that some things never really change, even now, the speaker, House Speaker nancy pelosi, was not invited to the signing ceremony. No democrat was. And with this crisis getting worse and worse, the the need for masks, ventilators, and test kits is critical. For more than 90 of mayors across this country, well, they say that they dont have enough mask masks for their First Responders and medical personnel. They dont have enough test kits. And more than 85 say they dont have enough ventilators. They dont have the equipment they need for what is coming. I would tell you that is shocking, except the cold, hard fact is we may be beyond being shocked at this point. Weve heard it over and over from medical professionals, from local governments. They are begging, actually bleging, f begging, for the equipment to save lives. Patients lives and their own. A labor and delivery nurse at emery hospital midtown atlanta posted this Emotional Message on facebook. Here it is. Lets be honest. This is just the start of something thats going to get much worse. And, yes, call us heroes but, you know, we have families, too. And scared and we dont want to be scared. So that is just heartbreaking. The people who are trying to save our lives shouldnt be terrified for their own lives. And the lives of their families. We need to get them everything they need to do their jobs. Everything. The virus is hidden. And its effects are hidden from a lot of people who havent, thankfully, been inside hospitals. But listen to what an emergency room doctor, name is Colleen Smith in elmhurst queens, one of the hardesthit hospitals in new york city, listen to what she tells the New York Times. All of the doctors. Its hard for us to get tested even if we want to, even if we have symptoms. Were exposed overa and over again. We dont have the protective equipment that we should have. Were always worried well be out of n95 masks. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says the worst is yet to come for his state. Predicting it may take 21 days to hit the apex in new york. The state and its National Guard assembling 4,000 bed overflow hospitals, including at m manhattans javits center. Doctors and nurses, begging for help. Governors and mayors, begging for supplies. Like i said, we need to get them everything they need to save our lives and their lives before it is too late. Kaitlan collins is cnns White House Correspondent excuse me and she joins us now from the white house. Kaitlan, good evening to you. The president is saying the u. S. Will make 100,000 ventilators, in the next 100 days. 100 days seems like a long way off, considering that he wants the country up and running again in the next few weeks. Yeah. And considering what you were just talking about with the new york governor has said that he thinks theyre going to hit their worst phase of this in about 21 days. Thats a lot sooner than that 100day mark that the president gave today. And, of course, ventilators have been the number one thing that has been, you know, talked about because these are machines that will, literally, determine you know, they are lifesaving machines. They are needed for coronavirus patients on the worst end of things and who cannot breegathen their own. So that is why ventilators and the shortage of that has become such a point of contention. For weeks, weve asked how many do you have in the stockpile . How many do you expect you are going to need . The president saying today, which is pretty notable especially given 24 hours ago, he was downplaying the need governors say they have for these ventilators. Saying he doesnt actually think they need 30 to 40,000, which is what Governor Cuomo said he needs in his state. The governor of michigan, gretchen whitmer, i just want to play something we heard from her about receiving aid, kaitlan, and then well talk about it. Here it is. Listen. We started procuring every item we could get our hands on. But what ive gotten back is that vendors with whom we had contracts are now being told not to send stuff here to michigan. So, kaitlan, listen. We missed the first part. She said when the federal government told us that we needed to go it ourselves, we started procuring every every item we could get our hands on. But what ive gotten back is that vendors with whom we have had contracts are now being told not to send stuff here to michigan. So we heard the president tonight say that he has told mike pence not to call unappreciate unappreciative governors. What is going on here . Yeah. The president has been paying very close attention to which governors are criticizing him, and which ones are praising him. You saw, today, he was even telling the person leading the task force on this, who needs to be coordinating with these states about what they need, how much personal protective gear they need, any of those other demands that they have. The president is encouraging them not to call. Of course, we should note, the Vice President has been in touch with some of these governors the president himself has feuded with. People like governor insidelee washington. Now, taken up this new disagreement with Governor Whitmer of michigan. Just refers to her as that woman. The president urged states to try to get it on their own and said the federal government would back them up. That came as, now, the federal government is trying to make sure they have enough of these materials to have. And fema is really buying up a lot of these materials. And so you are seeing these d e state governors have to compete with the federal government to buy something. And thats why you have seen this shortage and thats why so many of these governors have urged the president to use the defense production act to get more medical supplies. Lets talk more about the defense production act, or dpa, as some refer to it. Theres been a lot of back and forth on this. President trump invoked it today. And you have some reporting on this, on why he did this . Yeah. I mean, for weeks, governors have been pushing the president to do this. Ever since he signed it but hadnt actually used it. Then, all of a sudden, he did today but it came under some notable circumstances. And that was because the administration had been in talks with General Motors and this other company about making ventilators. Those talks got put on hold. There was basically a disagreement over how long it was going to take to make them and how much it was going to cost. And the president , were told, is so irritated by these reports about those talks being put on hold, that he then decided to go invoke the dpa, now mandating that General Motors makes these ventilators that they said they were already making. They said just because there had been a pause in the ongoing discussions with the administration, they actually were still moving forward like they were going to be making them. So the question that some people have tonight is, you know, internally, the president didnt really kmachange much of the schanss here by using the dpa in this situation because its not going to speed up gm being able to change its factories to be able to make ventilators. Theyre pretty complex machines and of course theyre complex so its going to take a while to make them still. Some people have been questioning why the president used this circumstance to invoke the dpa and also mainly why he hadnt done it sooner if he felt this is the right way to go. Kaitlan collins at the white house, kaitlan, appreciate it. Governors across the country are desperately trying to get what hey need to protect their people. Im going to talk to nevada governor next. So what do you see . I see bestinclass platforms and awardwinning service, and i see it with zero commissions on online trades. I like what youre seeing. Its beautiful, isnt it . Td ameritrade now offers zero comissions on online trades. Everyone said i was crazy. When i started this commute, so fifteen years ago, i got my first subaru and i did it anyway. My outback always got me there. So when it was time, of course i got a new one. Because my kids still need me. And i need them. avo male welcome to the allnew Subaru Outback. The most reliable outback ever. Go where love takes you. avo female get 0. 9 apr financing on the 2020 Subaru Outback through march 31st. Crisis comes to we dont blame them for that. What matters is how they handle it. Donald trump didnt create the coronavirus, but he is the one who called hoax, who eliminated the Pandemic Response team, and who let the virus spread unchecked across america. Crisis comes to every president. This one failed. Unite the country is responsible for the content of this advertising. 101,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus and more than 1,500 deaths in the u. S. Tonight, nearly 200 million americans, living under stayathome orders. Its a very, very tough time here. So i want to show you something thats just really incredible. This drone video. Look at this. Its from about two hours ago, friday night. The famous las vegas strip. Its now a ghost town. Normally, busy and bustling with tourists. Its now deserted due to coronavirus. So i want to talk about the pandemic with the governor, steve sisolak, governor of nevada. Sir, thank you. Its i am honored to have you on. I know that its a tough time for everyone. Its a very busy time, especially for the governors, who have really stepped into the void here. Picked up the slack and are really helping the folks out all over this country. So thank you, governor, for joining us. And i just want to jump right into the hard numbers with you. Your state has submitted four requests from the federal government for coronavirus tests. And, as of today, you have received zero shipments. You can correct me if im wrong. What is the holdup . I dont know. We got a a response from them. We have an indefinite backlog on the coronavirus tests. So weve gone ive been on all the Conference Calls that we had with the president and the Vice President. And ive got the most Generous Community in the world. Some of our bigger casino operators, Sheldon Adelson donated test kits. Flew them in from macao. Some businesses have gone out and bogot test kits on the open market. Youve only received about 25 of what was called ppes or personal protective equipment that you have requested. How soon before your hospitals run out, governor . Well, you know, were in a pretty desperate situation. But, here, again, ive gone to our community partners, our state partners. I have got one of our larger operators has donated in excess of half a million masks. Some of our restaurants, we put a call out for smaller restaurants, construction companies, nail salons, theyre all donating masks and gloves and gowns. Like i said, the president made it clear that we should go and try to find as much as we possibly can on our own. We have done that but you cant find test kits very easily. Those, you got to go on to the open market and buy them. We have purchased some but theyre costly. Im a small state. I cant compete with a new york or california or even a michigan when it comes to purchasing power. I mean, three weeks ago, don, i had two positives. Two. I have 535 today and ten dead. So were in a tough situation but were making do with what little we have. And were the communitys been great. They stepped up. Ive got nail salon operators that are dropping off half a dozen masks that just care about our community. You said you have 535 now and you had two, two weeks ago. Three weeks ago, right. I had two. Wow. Wow. Wow. Weve been seeing that weve been seeing nail salon folks. We have been seeing people who work at tattoo parlors helping out. All kinds of americans just stepping up. Listen. You are talking about competing on the open market and competing against bigger states or states who may have more resources. But, also, some governors are saying that they are also competing against the federal government. Theyll put an order in. And then find out that their their order has been cancelled in some way by the federal government. Have you heard that . Ive heard that on your show. I have not had that experience. We have not had that here. Like i said, im on these calls. You got 50 states and four territories. Theyre all on the calls. And everybodys asking for the exact same thing. Were all asking for ventilators, ppe equipment, test kits. Every single governor is asking for it. And were going out and trying to find what we can on our own. Do we need help from the federal government . Certainly. We do. But, like i say, everybody theyre working so hard in nevada. Whether youre a truck driver or a grocery clerk or stocking shelves or the medical providers on the front end, you know, maki making do with what they have. This communitys really pulling together to try to cobblestone our fight together. The president tonight pardon me for the delay the president , tonight, is saying that if governors arent appreciative, hes not going to return their call. He pointed to washington and michigan as examples. Is that something that, your experience, i certainly hope not . No, i have certain
