Is because life in our country is changed by the minute. In an unprecedented effort to help contain this coronavirus, millions of americans are working from home. School closings are impacting young people. Cities and states are closing bars and restaurants with the exception of takeout. San francisco and surrounding counties telling people to shelter in place. Earlier today the white house issued new guidelines and that includes limiting social gatherings to less than ten people to help stop the spread of the virus. Here is more from the president. My focus is really on gettig rid of this problem, this virus problem. Once we do that, Everything Else is going to fall into place. Were not thinking in terms of recession. We are thinking in terms of the virus. Want to be stopped. I think theres a tremendous pentup manned in terms of the stock market and the economy. If you dont have the symptoms, if youre doctor doesnt think you needed, dont get the test. Dana the president weighing in on the progress being made on a vaccine. A vaccine candidate has begun the phase one clinical trial. This is one of the fastest Vaccine Development lodges in history, not even close. We are racing to develop antiviral therapies and other treatments that weve had some promising results, early results but promising. Dana greg, lets start with you. I dont know whether to look at you. I will look at the camera. Greg its weird because basically you are across from me. So i can block i can touch your face without touching your face which is really freaky. Dana dont touch my face i cant even touch my own face first of all, you can now not meet beyond a group of ten people. Eacit means the sunday hot tub party is going to have to be rescheduled. Im pretty tired. I have friends who were kind of bumming me out who keep saying that we are overdoing it. We are all hearing it but i say i would prefer to look back and be wrong and look back and be foolish then think about oh, i didnt do enough. I am willing to bite the bullet now, peeled the bandaid off. You may never know if your overreaction helped. And the people who under reacted are going to gloat and say see, it was no big deal at all. Even though it was the over reactors that might have helped. I also want to Say Something very positive. Yesterday my neighbor, who was about 80, came over let me know that she had plenty of food. The and alayna are welcome to come over and i was think about how when you watch these movies about the apocalypse. The Entertainment Industry makes us falsely believe that during terms of graces humans turn on each other like we are fighting over toilet paper and chicken. Its not the case. The innate reaction among human beings is to help. If you have a problem carrying something or you cant pick up your kids, someone else is going to do it. I think thats what we are going to learn here. I would also add a lot of people talk about social distancing. We should be social distancing from social media. I find that when im around and im on twitter a lot, i am feeling filling my brain with a lot of stuff that is unreliable. I think i should step away. Its like the stock ticker. I wish they would take that down because i dont need to watch it. Dana were talking about watching water boil. Doesnt really get you anywhere. Kennedy, i know you are experiencing what many parents across america are experiencing. Your kids are home. How is that going . Kennedy its very interesting. The whole process unfold so quickly. I have two girls in Public Schools here in new york city. Last week for the end of the week there were fewer and fewer students attending. My girls went on friday and there was almost no one there. You got the sense with the threatened teacher stick out and a couple City Council People here in new york city, that they were going to shut down schools. For them its interesting because they have a ton of work. Google classroom. Theyve got everything laid out. But also its an interesting period where we get to work as a family figuring out how to deal with the crisis. The most important thing you have, and greg kind of touched on it, is your attitude toward it. So if you feasted as a challenge and you work on it together if you face it as a challenge and you figure out what we need, you can work from there instead of worrying about what you dont have a trying to get as much of it is possible even if you dont necessarily have a need for it. I know the president address that today. I love the idea that gregs neighbor reached out to him and i would say the same thing. If you have older neighbors, make sure they have everything they need so they dont have to go out and get it. If youre making soup, if you got extra, freeze summit taken over to put their minds at ease and get them whatever they need from the drugstore. Dana also your household will benefit from the fact that you are a fabulous cook. I am not, though i tried a little bit this weekend. Jesse, how about you . How is the weekend and what are you thinking about things today . Jesse i went to visit my mom this weekend and she made me wear gloves to come in her house. She is suspicious that i might have coronavirus. I wear the gloves all afternoon in the house. Thats what it is. I didnt take the social distancing that seriously friday, saturday and sunday night. I went out to dinner here in the city. I woke up this morning i realized that was not the right move. I am no longer going out to dinner. I was trying to help my local restaurants. We have stocked up on all the groceries and went to the liquor store and i bought about five bottles of wine and some vodka. So im good for about a week. Not two but at least one week. I urge all my fellow americans, no matter where you are, respect the social distancing urging for the president of the United States. It can be a good thing. You can relax with your loved ones. You can watch the five. You dont have to go out to the bar. Take it easy. But with that said, it is bizarre because usually when theres a challenge facing this country, americans unite. They come together. And then they overcome. But this time in order for us to overcome, we need to separate ourselves from each other. We are almost dividing ourselves in order to unite and in order to defeat this virus. Thats a very counterintuitive thing to do. But you have to do it you have to think when this is all over and its got to be over within the next couple months, but when it is, Mother Nature has taught us a lesson. We are going to be more selfreliant. We are going to be less dependent as a country and as individuals on other people and on other countries. That may be a good thing because right now this looks like its impacting the United States of america worse than terrorism. 30 got knocked off the stock market. Whole industries are shut down. Schools closing, professional sports. Nothing like this weve ever seen in america. At the end of the day, we are going to have to find out what happened, why it happened, where it happened, and the lessons will be learned. Dana terrorism is a threat that you know and you know how to combat it. When youre fighting against a virus that is mutating as we speak, thats harder. Juan, tell me how youre feeling about things. Congress is about to pass legislation to try to get to phase two of helping americans who will need it. Juan i am glad you reached out to me, your elderly neighbor. At 65, i am in that group. Dana i hear you. Juan if you have soup, bring it over. I am right here. I will lap up kennedys soup or tacos or whatever shes got. Dana i will make some queso. Greg we have enough problems. Juan that toilet paper rush. [laughter] ive had a crazy day just living in america today. Like all of a sudden, we are i heard Maria Bartiromo on the debate last night. They said you can get the 7 50 train. No, they canceled the trains between new york and d. C. And then they said we will put you on the milk train that leaves at 9 30, makes every stop in america. And then the people on the train are like and masks. They are huddled away from each other. Nobody wants to sit next to anybody. Of course both towns, it looks like a ghost town because the schools are closed so school buses arent working. You go in the restaurants, they are shocked. You hope some of the carry out places are open. Some of them are shot. Its kind of some of them are shut. We are in a moment where you have to stop and trust in each other in a very intimate way. To my mind, its not about distancing. I see neighbors. The neighbors are coming over. They are talking. I even saw a wonderful clip this weekend where an elderly couple was in a shopping, outside of a Grocery Store in the parking lot and they were shouting and a lady came over and they were afraid to go in the Grocery Store so they gave her 100 bucks so she could go shopping. Dana Corporate America and Small Businesses are really stepping to the plate, talking about the publicprivate partnerships. I believe stop shop is going to have some hours in the morning, early hours where as a Senior Citizen you can go and shop early in the morning and feel a little bit safer. People being quite innovative as well. Greg im used to doing that because as a world recognized celebrity, i can only grocery shop in the early early morning. So i dont get mobbed. We do hear about the Large Companies asking for money. But to jesses point, if you arent going to the restaurant, those restaurants are suffering. Believe me, all of my money that i make goes into bars and restaurants. I am a walking bailout for downtown. So what youve got to do is youve got to find out how you can pay them now for future goods. Thats the order of gift cards for the restaurant the like. Join the delivery services. Delivery services, where any restaurant that you like and deliver food to you. That way they can pay the staff. They can pay the cooks. They might be able to help out the waitresses. You should definitely come if you buy the gift card, it gets into their system and then you can use them whenever it gets better. Juan some people are complaining because if you are a waiter, you are living on tips. So all of a sudden they said you have unemployment. The bill passed yesterday by the house has some additional funding for that but basically those people are being denied their tips. So they are upset. A lot of people say if you buy the gift cards for the restaurants or whatever services, personal services you may need, it goes to the big company but it doesnt go down to the people who provide the services. Dana we have to be thinking about them. Juan just as we focused on people, making sure they can afford a test and treatment, we just want to make sure people who are kind of working class people dont get scrunched here or forgotten. Jesse politics dominating, and the president facing a new wave of criticism over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Former White House Communications director turned never Trumper Anthony Scaramucci comparing the president of the deadly virus. Donald trump is the virus. What he has done, hes affected and replicated through the executive branch and hes destroyed the Crisis Management elements of the executive branch that we need right now not only here in the United States but globally. Its a National Tragedy born from one person. Jesse new York Democratic winner andrew cuomo piling on by blasting the trump administration. This is a National Problem and we need federal leadership. It is chaos. I think it feeds the feeling that the country is out of control there is no clear direction and theres no clear path. It makes no sense. Its also counterproductive. Jesse President Trump firing back after a teleconference with the nations governors tweeting cuomo of new york has to do more. Kennedy, i like Anthony Scaramucci, i respect his opinion but its a lazy analogy. They use that in the New York Times three weeks ago. It is not going to stick. What we need from everybodys a little sense of common purpose. Kennedy youre right. It doesnt mean that you need to patch the president on the back and extolled his virtues and enumerate all the wonderful things the administration is done, but being so negative and backward looking is not helpful to anybody. To destroy morale even further when people are scared and they are panicked, it doesnt do anything for this. Frankly it makes him look bitter. If you talk to Anthony Scaramucci after he was fired, he was essentially begging for his job back. He has taken aim at several people in the administration of been incredibly personal with his attacks. I have to wonder what his end game is and if it is to make the country better, then offer some solutions. Jesse governor cuomo, hes really stepped up as the governor here in new york and taken it upon himself to issue a lot of directives and has been holding a lot of press conferences. Doesnt he really kind of want to form a strong working relationship with the president of the United States . Because this thing is going to continue for the next couple months. Dana i actually think they probably have a better relationship than we might thi think. Jesse posturing may be. Dana remember cuomo went to the white house not too long ago to talk about taxes and other things. Theyve known each other for years so maybe they can take shots at each other like this. Everybody gets a choice every day about how they want to position themselves in what they want to say. Do you want to help . You could to make that choice 100 times a day. I think the governors today were doing the right thing. The federal government cannot do everything for you. The governors and the ones i can make these decisions about closing schools and closing businesses. The president of the United States doesnt have that Legal Authority even if he wanted to. The governors are responsible for that nice on many of them stepping up today. I have to Say Something positive about Governor Phil Murphy of new jersey. He gave his prepared remarks today and talked about having to close the bars and then set aside the script and spoke from the heart. He said this is on me. I am doing this because im the one that supposed to be in charge. Im th the one that is supposedo leave. Im making these decisions because my credibility is on the line. I think you see that across the country and i think theres better cooperation between the federal government and governors that may be you see on twitter. Jesse juan, do you think certain states are going to have to make certain decisions. If theres one case of coronavirus in north dakota, do they need to treated the same way new york treats coronavirus which has nearly 1,000 cases . Juan no. I think everybody has to sort of tailor it to their needs. I do think that you need national leadership. I think like last night at the democratic debate, Bernie Sanders basically said trumps rhetoric has exacerbated the problem. Trump downplayed it and said its media, its the democrats. Now it turns out hey, theres a real problem here and we should have been informing people about this very real threat to all of our health but to our Public Safety in terms of a Health Crisis long ago. So he was saying it will go away. Dont worry about it. It will disappear like a miracle. Well, its not disappearing like a miracle. So when it comes to the governors saying we like some more direction, the cdc reports to the president. You cant blame jerome powell, the Federal Reserve governor, the chair, hes done everything. Yesterday he cut the Interest Rates to zip. It still didnt help the markets. He wants to blame obama. He wants to blame foreigners. Where is a president who says the buck stops here . Jesse i think with the president was saying was that if theres one case in alaska, you dont just say from washington, d. C. , im going to close every school in alaska. Have to be flexible and dynamic. Juan nobody was saying that you should take away flexibility. What youre saying is the national leader, the president of all of us, republicans and democrats, might offer some direction instead of giving us sort of happy, fluffy talk that in fact distorted the reality that we are dealing with. I didnt think and i dont think anybody on the five, i dont think any of us here on the five. Just a second. Jesse communicated to the public every day. Juan he is not. Let me make this point. I dont think one of us thought we would have to be sitting in little boxes because of this. Greg you didnt. I did. I talked about this. In the third week of february. Anyway, anyway. Can i actually weigh in on this . Youve been talking for a while. Number one, number one. Anthony scaramucci, when you were booking him to talk about a pandemic, that means seven to eight people turned them down beforehand. He is not the bottom of the bureau. He is the stuff leaking out of the barrel. When you are booking him, its a political booking so lets be clear. People are conflating again with words and deeds. What trump is doing imperfectly is he initially was trying to address the panic that he saw in the stock market. Because he is our nations cheerleader. Everythings going to be better. We have to get this going. Optimism is his blood. As for the virus, thats the experts turf. Make no mistake. He got out of the way. He let them do that. Lets not forget, cuomo was slow getting up to speed on this too because he was doing the same thing trump was which was just try to slow the panic in the economy. Trump was focusing on the psychological effects of panic. While the intention is good, he couldve found his voice sooner about the actual concern. This is new to him. I think he was trying to focus on trying to quell the panic while letting the experts deal with the virus. Deeds, wo
