FOXNEWSW Justice With Judge Jeanine March 29, 2020

From the White House Coronavirus tax force, Peter Navarro, free trade and manufacturing, and marshall blackford, congresswoman and steve scalise, doctor william levin. But as we have been reporting, President Trump says he is no longer considering what he calls a mandatory quarantine for new york, new jersey and parts of neconnecticut. This is just breaking, joining me from the White House Task force on coronavirus to discuss that and more is one that we have seen a lot of w over the pt few weeks and we thank you for all of your hard work, she has been front and center of all this government response to the epidemic, the pandemic, dr. Birx. Thank you so much for being here with us tonight. What can you make of the news that just broke with President Trump saying there will not be y mandatory quarantine for new york, new jersey and parts of connecticut. I think President Trump wanted all of america to know where the virus is and where it is expanding rapidly and he really felt like everybody had to be aware and have a trouble advisory and talking to the governors, it was clear the governors felt together that they could actually keep their people safe and at home like they all have asked their people to shelter in place. And to keep themselves safe, i think together, that has been the exciting part about working at the white house in working with the governors, everybody has been working together to do whats best for all of america. Speaking of the governors, we areki aware that andrew cuomo hs not been happy with things that the President Trump was doing and talking about the potential mandatoryoi quarantine for the tristate area, he was not happy aboutua that. I think the dialogue has been quite good between the Vice President , the president and the governor cuomo, we understand governor cuomos job is to protect new yorkers and to ensure that new yorkers have everything that they need to respond to thiss virus. I think it is our job as americans and our job as part of the federal government to make sure all of america gets what they need to respond to this virus effectively. We look across every state, every region, every county to ensure that we note exactly what is going and to be able to support the governor and to understand and to focus on the United States and ensure everybody is protected. And ense is protected. Can you give us a better sense of the cdc travel advisory. What would that look like across the country . What can we expect. I think were all fairly concerned when we look, if you look at the absolute case numbers from you see a lot of them are in new york city, but when you look at cases by 100,000 population, you can see a lot of the infection is in westchester now growing into rockland, bergen new jersey, and then out in nassau and new york as well as new york city so we wanted people to know and the president wanted everyone to know where this virus is so people would be aware if theyre going to travel to that area that that area had a very significant amount of covid19 or the coronavirus. Its really to make americans aware about traveling to new york and also make it clear to the people in the area to protect themselves following the guidelines to really stay home and hunker down, stay at home and wash her hands and not touch her face. We are finding a lot of transmission is occurring by people forgetting what their hands have touched and then touching their face. We were listening to a doctor last hour talk about its really about whats on your hands and not putting your hands anywhere on your face, not to oversimplify it but he said that is a good portion of how you will contract the virus. Theres a lot of things going around, should you wear a mask or gloves or be 6 feet away. What do you think is the biggest misconception that people have about this virus. I think people really dont understand how transmittable it is. It is much more transmittable than flu. It is much more transmittable than a lot of the other coronavirus is that people have heard about like sars. Were really beginning to understand how much of this is on surface and in personal contact, thats why we are saying 6 feet but people touch things. You touch things all day long and then you forget and you push a piece of hair under your face or you, your eye itches or your nose itches so were really asking everyone to be aware with their hands have been and ensure there washing them, use Hand Sanitizer if they cant wash in that moment and really protect themselves. This will come down to communities doing the guidelines perfectly and everybody protecting themselves and their family. So the u. S. Leads the world in the number of confirmed cases. We are at 115,000 as of tonight, saturday night. When do you think we will see the peak . I want all of america to know that we are the Third Largest country so the only other country that was larger than us that had this virus was china, and were still not quite sure how many people contracted the virus in china. When you look at italy and spain, we are about five and a half times or six times bigger than most countries so we will have higher numbers. The number two country, india, is really working very hard to make sure they contain or mitigate the virus so clearly the virus quietly spreads before people start getting sick. Thats fine we are really asking people to follow these guidelines even if you dont think theres a virus there it probably is. We dont think any city will be spared from this virus. All right. We really appreciate your time. Lastly, what would you say to those who have been very critical about the way President Trump has dealt with the spread of the coronavirus here in the u. S. I know when doctor fauci and i show him the data and show him whats happening, i think both President Trump and the Vice President is very concerned about how it spreading and by the families who have been touched by this and i think were all concerned as americans that were losing americans to this virus. Thats why every day when they come to the podium they talk about what every american can do to stop the spread. If i leave anything with your audience it is follow the guideline. Please follow the guidelines. Protect yourself, protect your family, but lets unite together and protect america. Its definitely a weird time very eerie and sad. Its saturday night at 9 00 oclock it and i can see fifth avenue and theres not a soul on the street. Our thoughts and prayers going out to the entire world. Thank you very much doctor deborah burke. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Meanwhile italy is reeling from the coronavirus pandemic. They reported 889 deaths today, just one day after reporting its highest daily death toll since the crisis started. Amy kellogg has more from florence italy. The numbers here have not been good at all. We had our highest daily death toll yesterday at 919, slightly less today, the numbers of new infections percentagewise are slightly down but we are still far from being out of hot water. 20 of covid19 deaths worldwide have been in lombardi which is the Northern Region of italy. It is just not clear when restrictions will be loosened because italy knows the rest of the world is watching to see how what we do, what effect it has plays out. Francis implored god to help last night. He said we are all in the same vote together, there are six cases in the vatican, someone in the popes resident tested positive. 170 tests were carried out and all came back negative. Russia was in the news showing the ministry of defense help disinfect and treat people. Some question why the Russian Military has to be here. They said they are extremely grateful for russias help. Germany continues to take patients that italian hospitals cant cope with. Another issue during this time of quarantine has been caring for the homeless who not only have nowhere to go and no passerby to feed them, but are extremely exposed, much like the doctors and nurses who are on the front lines, over 40 doctors have died from coronavirus and thousands of healthcare workers have been infected. The pope has prayed for them as all the Unsung Heroes such as those who work in hospitals, cleaning up day and night, some of them for less than a thousand dollars. Month. A lot of doctors are complaining they are not getting the protection they need out there on the front lines in terms of the more protective masks and other things. There have been appeals and people stepping forward to help with supplies and this new doctors and nurses coming our way, but the bottom line is it continues to be a tremendous struggle and one newspaper wrote these doctors are tired of being called heroes. They need to feel defended. Amy kellogg in italy. There could be technical problems worked out and she is up with her Opening Statement as well as Peter Navarro and lisa booth. The good news .

Its good to be with you tonight and we apologize for the technical difficulties but we are certainly delighted to have Marsha Blackburn with us to talk about the coronavirus and what shes doing to make sure Something Like this doesnt happen again. Senator blackburn, its good to have you on this evening. Its good to be with you. Thank you. Senator you have some very strong feelings about china and the coronavirus and what has happened, and not so much looking backwards, but looking forward, what is it that you are trying to do Going Forward . One of the things we need to do is pass this resolution, senna resolution 553 that will explicitly layout that we know china is responsible for this Global Pandemic that they hid information and were not transparent in what they knew. They refused the help and tried to blame it on the u. S. Army. China should be called to account for this. Because of their bad behavior, that Global Pandemic is much worse than it would have been. Jeanine all right. Now lets assume that Something Like that happens, how does that help us in any way in terms of the pandemic or in terms of sanctioning china or anyone else for what has happened. Jeanine, what it would do is send that message to china, to the peoples republic of china, to the communist party there that the u. S. Senate fully understands what they did and that they chose to hide this and when the World Health Organization wanted to go in and the cdc wanted to go in, they did not want us to go in there, and because of their actions, this is much worse. I will tell you, im one of those, i think china should be held to account financially for what they have done. They hold a lot of our debt. Maybe they should waive that debt, but they should be held to account for this. And then you look dash. Jeanine senator, excuse me, why do you think the president has been so kind saying that theyre going to fight the coronavirus together, the president was very tough on china with respect to trade and with respect to the intellectual property problems, and now he seems to be on a very different footing. Why do you think that is . I think we are very fortunate to have donald trump as president right now because he called attention during the campaign that we were to dependent on china, and you are exactly right, whether it comes to military or to technology, or to consumables and consumer goods, and of course also our pharmaceuticals. We are far too dependent on china, and President Trump was right to raise that. He is also right to try to have a working relationship with president of china so that we can get to the bottom of the coronavirus, stop this covid19 pandemic. Jeanine finally, in terms of the president and in terms of china, the supply chain, what do we have to do to get our supply chain back to this country so that america truly is first in terms of the preparation and the making of our own medication. Yes, exactly. That is my legislation. Securing americas medicine cabinet. What it would do is incentivize bringing that mark chet pharmaceutical manufacturing and production back on u. S. Shores. That is what we want to do. February 27, 1 of the active pharmaceutical ingredients we need for one of the medications of the antivirals for covid19, that is manufactured in china, it is the sole source. What did china want to do, they said we may not let you have that. This is on top of once when we needed penicillin we couldnt get it so lets bring that manufacturing back. Incentivize that coming back, look at it as a National Security issue as well as her health and financial security. We also hope that we will be able to set up some institution of Higher Learning partnership with pharmacies and have a hundred Million Dollars grant school to do that. Its bipartisan legislation, it is a step in the right direction, i say lets make america manufacturer again, and lets bring this pharmaceutical manufacturing back to u. S. Shores so that we are no longer dependent on china for things that are so sourced through china that we need to keep ourselves well and healthy. All right. Senator blackburn, thanks so much for being with us this evening. Its good to be with you. Thank you. Stay safe and well. Jeanine youre very welcome. You two. Next, Peter Navarro who has been appointed the point person on the defense production act is joining us next on the phone. Peter, do we have you. How are you doing. Jeanine good. We are having some technical difficulties tonight. Peter. Its one of those things, but its the least of our worries in this crisis. Ive been working all day long, working to make sure that we have enough ventilators and personal protective equipment and we have a real challenge ahead judge, but i tell you what, under the leadership of President Trump we have the full force of the federal government, the full power of the private sector working together as americans with a full cooperations of america, spain is at home doing their social distancing. But peter, but what i want to talk about is something specific. My antennas went up last night when i heard the president speaking about General Motors and mary and the fact that so many corporations came out in their own financial, it wasnt to their advantage to help their fellow americans out, and then all of a sudden we hear about General Motors, worried about contractual issues and of course at that point the president decides hes going to appoint you to be the trigger man on the defense production act. Whats with General Motors, and were they trying to gouge or were they arguing about prices . Why are they different from walmart, walgreens and all of the other companies that want so much to help america . So the defense production act, to mobilize our Industrial Base in times of strike and we are engaged in the most in structural mobilization since world war ii. I have had tremendous success working with hundreds of companies voluntarily ramping up production. Gm was an outlier. Instead of moving to a kokomo plant it immediately began the progress of making ventilators which were like the front line of what we need, the days were going by over contract and this that and the other and the president finally said no this is what were going to use the defense production act so he made that decision, hes always making strong decisions that need to be made, and so now we have gm directed to get going. [inaudible] they are working with a Small Company that needed gms help and thats the right direction because what were trying to do here with the defense production act really is harmonize the manufacturing, gloves, ventilators, masks, medicines, everything we need, but ill tell you what, your earlier gas were right, most of our pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and equipment are offshore right now. They are in country spread out all over the world and guess what, now there the top 20 countries that export pharmaceuticals to us already have imposed various forms of export. China wont let 3m masks out of china. In. [inaudible] europe has a whole range of restrictions they are imposing. If we learn anything from this crisis, judge, after the fact its that we have to bring our jobs home. This is what President Trump has been talking about for years
