That. All along he had the right instincts. At first he tried to block the virus coming here with travel restrictions. When it did get here in low numbers he tried to contain it. The media screams, what did you do in february . He did what he was supposed to do. Its called track and containment. Only when there was a breakout did he move to the containment and shutdown. When he saw problems with equipment he ordered a businessled emergency response. The dynamic ventilator reserve. Our Health System was stretched but it didnt break. It was nothing like italy. We are in a position to help italy or places with even fewer resources like africa. The president leaves a legacy of a much stronger system for the future. This was a total vindication. This week in response to the failures of the who are failures of the World Health Organization. Because we have flattened the curve and slowed the spread with those important guidelines, he wants to open america as soon as safely possible. We told you about a stanford study. The scientists tested 3 through people in Santa Clara County for antibodies. The results were released friday. Between 48,000 and 81,000 people were infected by early april in Santa Clara County. 50 to 80 times more than the official number of cases. Those famous models dr. Fauci talked about were wrong based on bad data. The infection rate is much higher. That means the mortality rate is much lower. Likely between not. 12 and. 123 per. It also means this virus is out there on a much bigger scale than we knew. That has to affect our plans to reopen. The big thing we have been hearing is you cant reopen unless you can do widespread testing. Isolate everyone with coronavirus and test their progress. Identify individual cases, identification, isolation, Contact Tracing, identify, isolate and Contact Trace. Steve now we know how widespread the virus is from the survey testing. Its likely millions of americans have it and millions more will getet it. You cant quarantine and Contract Trace them all. It was a major victory that this was cut from the new white house guidelines. They do not recommend testing everyone only those are symptoms or no symptoms in vulnerable populations like nursing homes. The problem is a disastrous Establishment Group think emerged. Around the extreme version of dr. Faucis plan. I think widespread testing and contract testing will be essential to finding out where we are in this fight against this deadly virus. The variables will include the capacity of the Healthcare System to identify, isolate and treat those infected so they can slow the spread. When cant open the country back up until we can do testing on a massive scale. Why arent we even close. Unless there is widespread testing we cant reopen the country. In steve tripling the number of tests, identify the majority of people who are infected and isolate them from people who are healthy. In this Establishment Group think is misinformation and ignores the latest data. No surprise, big business has bought into it, too. Jeff bezos told amazon shareholders that those who test positive can be quarantined and cared for. Everyone who tests negative could reenter the economy with confidence. This is how some state and local leaders are talking, too. Gavin newsom said california will need the widespread ability to test, Contact Trace and isolate. I would like to talk to dr. Fauci. His advice is hugely consequential. Although we have been asking for a while, he wont talk to us. I will ask the questions anyway and see if we get a reply. One, dr. Fauci you keep telling us you are led by the signs and data. Why was your data so wrong for so long. Why didnt you Commission Testing like the stanford team. Will you carry out nationwide survey testing immediately . Two, based on this new data do you accept that its unnecessary and impractical to identify, Contact Trace o and identifier e who has this virus. Will you tell the governors and the media and boggss like bezos that widespread testing is not necessary for reopening. Four, do you agree that all deaths matter. Not just coronavirus deaths. Will you commit to a study of the Long Term Public Health cost of the shutdown to help inform any future pandemic rear response in factors like disrupted medical treatment and rise in suicides and lower Life Expectancy caused by shutdown induced poverty. The political battle over this game clearer this week. President trump now owns reopening. But with connecticut mayor look at the end of may and gavin newsom saying next year. Tthe governor owns it. Pushing for payroll tax cuts and bringing manufacturing home, trump owned the reopening. But the democrats own the Small Business collapse and job losses. The white house reopening guidelines were free of excesses of the fauci doctrine. But even there there is room for improvement. T. You cant reopen the economy until you reopen schools. And we face a grave danger of governor corona overreach. That is the immediate political battle. The threat of this overreach is everywhere, even among conservatives. Texas Governor Greg Abbott put this man on his reopen task force. Hes the coauthor of a reopening plan thats a technocratic nightmare. Look at this vp. This is a parole quote. Those wishing to engage in air and amtrak travel should be required to participate in a certified Contact Tracing app and the demonstrate that checkin that they have tested negative. Tt we know finally thanks to the Stanford Research just how widespread this virus is. We cant hide from it. We must learn to live with it. Until we get a vaccine, a cure, of course, protect the vulnerable. But most people who get it dont know they had it. We were supposed to be flattening the curve, not eliminating it. Slowing the spread, not stopping it. We have done those things. It was an incredible iachievement. Now, lets get back to work. If you agree with this message please follow us at steve hilton x. Sara carter, florida congressman matt gaetz and tammy bruce. Matt gaetz, you are on one of the president s groups look at reopening. Where do you think things stand at the national t level and stae level in terms of reopening and moving on from the immediate crisis stage we have been living through the last few weeks. The president is champing at the bit to unleash the economy. But there is a globalist element to the establishment and elite thinking you described in your monologue. I remember the World Health Organization telling us the death rate could be 3. 4 . But the Stanford Santa Clara study shows it could have been off by a factor of 17 to 28. Americans can take pride in the fact that President Trump isnt going to overpay for bad science from people who shill for china. I think that brings the Decision Making to the president. Eisenhower warned in his farewell address that we could end up feeding too much Decision Making to a technological elite and real leaders had to ask tough questions and balance the questions you reflected on. Steve you still hear people today citing w. H. O. Advice in terms of how we should reopen. Tammy, one of the things thats interesting about this Stanford Research. Part of that team, not on the medical side, is david neilman, the founder of jetblue. Hes champing at the bit to get gthings moving. His parents are at risk and he has a plan to bring this virus testing, the Antibody Survey to get a snapshot of how widespread ththe virus is in Different Community as a way to inform local decision makers. They can see the authority out there sanity would make them more confident about opening you have. Its amazing to me that you have got this slightly Renegade Group of doctors and entrepreneur s and the system isnt demanding that kind of testing so we get an accurate picture of this. After the santa clara results. Its clear the machine doesnt want that to continue because it takes fear away. When there is less fear, government has less power. We are less inclined as individuals to cede power to the government because of an unknown monster out there. As long as we dont know, that is the problem. Clearly we must do that. I understand its not the president s goal to test everyone literally. But when we can have random groups of thousands of people that stanford looked at in santa clairpa finding its widespread. It doesnt mights harmless. We dont know long term impact. Like chicken fox leaves itself until your system to appear decade later as shingles. But what california relies on and what the system relies on is being able to tell people you have got to stay hidden because this is still a monster. Always we learn more, information is power. You have got they rely on ignorance. The more information we have, the better. Then well find out the degree to which this has spread, especially for individuals and Business Owners to understand this is something that is similar to what we have seen. We must do more research and when we do that well be able to move on further allowing the president , for example. When you say hes going to leave us better prepared. This entire system must be better prepared for Something Like what china does and the impact of viruses like this on our lives. Steve sarah, one thing family mentioned i would like to get your reaction. This attack that comes against all of us who kind of emphasize the need to get things moving in the economy, to stop those lob losses and human suffering and problems that come from the shutdown. We are accused of not caring about lives. And caring about wall street more. Of course, weve recognize this is dangerous for people with underlying conditions and the elderly. But because its true from the data, we see over 80 have mild or no symptoms. Itwi seems to me the media and e establishment, they are invested in the shutdown. They kind of like it. They want this to keep going. Tammy was 100 right about thee fear. People cede their liberties to the government. But the random sampling to understand this pathogen. And doctors said this over and over again. The and study is an example of that. To understand this pathogen, you dont need to test everybody. You just need random sampling throughout the country to truly understand this. We may have developed a certain herdrd immunity to this virus anyway. And we may have developed that. Tammy is right. We dont know everything about this virus. It emanated from china. The Chinese Communist party has been totally unteut trul and hidden so many factors about this virus from the world, not just the United States of america. But we may have developed a herd immunity in some sense to this virus. That doesnt mean we cant protect those who are most vulnerable. Us but we have 1. 5 Million People in the Healthcare Industry that will be losing their jobs. We have people who cant get to a hospital to check on they have may have cancer. They cant go in for regular checkups. We have seen hospitals across the country that could be filing bankruptcy. Boston medical is furloughing 40 of its staff. When we are thinking about the health of our nation and the economic aspects that go along with that. Steve on the Healthcare System and the disruption there and the cost of that. I noticed in the u. K. A senior cancer doctor just this week said in his view because of the disruption to treatment in the u. K. , over a fiveyear period more people will die from the disruption in the u. K. , just the Cancer Treatment than because of the coronavirus. And to your point herd immunity frightens people of. Because the sweden used it in the beginning. But today swrin newsom used the term herd immunity over and over. He just has a timeline further out than what you were suggesting. But the key question is we need to know. Thats why the stanford study is so important. Nancy pelosi gave interviews today from i her ivory tower. Announcer there are everyday actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases. Wash your hands. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Stay home when you are sick. Cover your cough or sneeze. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects with household cleaning spray. For more information, visit cdc. Gov covid19.

Its bad enough that nancy pelosi is playing politics with hundreds of thousands of businesses on the verge of bankruptcy intensive millions of people have filed for unemployment but instead of taking responsibility, disgracefully she is literally accusing the president of killing people. Here she was this morning. The earlier delay and denial of death. Its incredible to me. A few weeks ago she did this but in kind of a less direct way where she said his actions resulted in killing people and now shes doubled, she got a lot of blowback for that and now shes double down. Its totally shameless. It is, and lets remember, as the president was making his decisions in late january an early february, what was she doing . She was impeaching the president. They are really hoping that the people somehow forget about that, but even during that time the American People didnt like it, and his Approval Rating went up. They didnt like what they were seeing so this is a remarkable turn of events where, look, this is in excess essential issue. It already has been costing the lives of tens of thousands americans, it will cost more lives, and all they can think about is how to smear the man who made the difference for us because of the november election. That is all they can think about. Now, this brings to mind for the American People to think about, and we see this across the board with media, with politicians, with other people weve known, with the behavior people, its funny what you learn about people when there is a crisis, and how they respond. Some people would argue that this is partisanship, how you view the democrats, and this is not fair, even democrats at this point, when you look at the Approval Ratings of the president , when it comes to how weve handled the virus, indicate that theyve understand what hes done and they approve of it. This is desperation but it also reveals there is nothing being taken seriously about the seriousness of what they could actually do to make peoples lives better. I will make one more point. Yes individuals have filed for unemployment and businesses might go bankrupt. If we look at the detail of that, but in the middle of that remains the psychological impact on people who dont know what tomorrow brings. This is unacceptable for the greatest country on earth and that is what the democrats have created. Theyve created an environment where, as the average person still really does not know if the big company they work for would survive. Neiman marcus is expected to file for bankruptcy next week. These are emotional times and the emotional impact for how people view their own lives and what the future holds. Shame on her. They have no shame and they clearly dont care about the individual in this country at any point. Steve thats right. Thats really strongly put and i totally agree. If we werent on tv i speak and even more strong term because every time i see her i just get so angry with her attitude just politicizing this to an unbelievable degree. She sang all this about the president , and at the same time, for political reasons, she is blocking the money. Shes blocking the lifeline money for Small Businesses. They go on about how theyre the party of working people. If she says the president is killing people, then are we entitled to say the same applies to all the consequences from her actions on Small Business. Nancy pelosi is the hypocrite of the house while donald trump was shutting down travel from china, nancy pelosi was volunteering as a tour guide in chinatown and she said she did so so there wouldnt be racist attacks and really thats just the democrats resorting to identity politics, but it is in fact nancy pelosi who is directly responsible for the death of businesses. Its really rich for her to talk about any delays by the president when her delays and reauthorizing the paycheck protection bill will result in the death of businesses that will never come back. Those families are forever changed because of Nancy Pelosis irresponsible conduct , but not all democrats are behaving this despicably. Ive gotta give a shout out two toms wally, they are on the president s passport with me, they did constructive meaningful comments. We need more democrats like them and a lot less that just want to score political points. The credithe president has the attitude just like you, hes constantly praising the democrat governors hes working with, just this afternoon andrew cuomo and so on, but she just cant get that. Sarah, the other thing
