All right, gladuate with US eight hundred and nine four one Shawn, if you want to be a part of this extravaganza. Where we are in New York, by the way, has just been put under a tornado warning. UM. You don't get a lot of them up here. We've had them before. It is well. Last I saw was valid until now. The areas stretching from UM for our New York New audience from the Yonkers, the Bronx, Nora Shell, Northern Long Island, which would be everywhere from say Great Neck Port, Washington, Glen Cove, but the northern part and doesn't seem to be no reports of any touchdowns, no reports of any funnels, but we'll keep an eye on it, UM, just real quick. When this happened, you've always got to remember what to do, and most people don't think about it. I remember when I was in Huntsville. This was this was a regular thing, and day and night I would be called in and dealing with uh, you know, tornado watch coverage. And they had a couple of bad ones. We know they recently had bad ones, UM in Nashville and elsewhere in the South, as we told you, where else was it Linda. Where were the other areas that got hit pretty hard, pretty much along the whole southeast and Southeast. I mean, it's just terrible what's happening. I mean, they're just getting they're really getting hurt by this horrible weather and on top of COVID, it's just it's been it's been horrible, and they're in our prayers though we're always thinking of them. No, I mean, and look, what can you do? Not a whole lot, to be very honest, the most important thing you do is you find shelter. If you're in a house, you go to your basement. All of this is online. We're watching local coverage now as as this comes on. But um, it's just you know, you you've got to just take it seriously. And you know, there's a difference between a watch and a warning. A watch as the conditions are right. You know, many people risked their lives. I'd like these, you know, are job ASTARTI friends of the world. But tornadoes can happen pretty much any time of the year. There are distinct seasons for twisters in different parts of the country. We know that there's tornado alley. We cover them all the time as well. There's a general northward shift in tornadoes season in the US, usually from late winter through Midsummer. About this period. The peak periods in the southern plains, for examples, during May and early June. On the Gulf Coast, it's it's earlier northern plains upper Midwest in June and July. But forecasters when there is a watch if weather conditions are favorable thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes in a region. When watches issued, they cover counties in states where tornadoes may occur, and a warning is when a tornado has actually been sighted on the ground. This is a watch, it's not a warning. We'll keep an eye on it for people in the area and for anybody at any point. You know, I know a lot of people just aren't big rule followers. I was going to talk about this today to a certain extent. I know that there are some of you out there that are just reflexively, instinctively against any government mandate about shelter in place, stay at home. Orders can't cut your grass. I mean, some of it's stupid, and government can overreach, and of course we've got to really watch that these measures are not grandfathered in for the future. I just say, for the most part, what's the big deal? If you got to wear a mask. Look, I choose to wear a mask for other people in New York right now, and the death told you know again, it's another day. Numbers are down. We're on a downward trajectory at this point. And it's it's like when we open things up, if you want to take an abundance of caution, that doesn't mean you're you know, you're Your courage is not measured by the fact that you wear a mask and you're safe. If anything. To me, it says that if you're young, and you're healthy and you know, not likely to be hurt by the virus, say as other people are with underlying medical conditions and compromise immune systems, you know, what's the big deal? Maybe you're protecting other people. That to me is like not being selfish. Anyway, let me get on. We got a lot happening just for the New York News. As long as we're in an eight straight net drops and hospitalizations, net drop in intubations. That's nine consecutive days of finally, the death toll. This had not been the case since April first. Now in New York is under for the whole state under five hundred. Now for the second straight day we have let's see if we have now hit the peak the apex, and then you got the leveling, and now we're seeing the drop and usually then results in a more precipitous drop, hopefully at some point. The net decrease in hospitalizations is minus twenty seven. That's the eighth straight day net decrease in the intubations minus one hundred and twenty seven. That's a lot. That's nine straight days of a net decrease. Three day rolling average of COVID nineteen hospitalizations is now around thirteen hundred, down from two thousand. And if you look at the different regions, you know, hospitalizations New York City by far the highest at sixty four percent, Long Island at twenty one percent, Westchester, Rockland eight percent, the rest of the state seven percent. And there is going to be elective outpatient treatment and surgery in low risk counties and hospitals beginning in the near term. And look, everybody's get up and running and ready and prepared for when they can safely reopen and the keyword courses safely. And I know that for some this is hard. Now. Of course, you can't count on your medium mob. You know, whatever happened to Steve Schmidt. Steve Schmidt is literally now said forty thousand Americans are dead because of the ineptitude of Trump's coronavirus response. You know, I'll be I guess the only one to say it. There's never been If you look at the timeline that we put up yesterday on Hannity dot com, and you look at what were the Democrats doing when the President put his travel ban in effect, they were impeaching the president. February twenty fourth, Nancy Pelosi, Madame ice Cream, was telling people come to Chinatown, come come same thing with a dopey mayor and health officials in New York City into March. They were saying these things. Anthony Fauci is well respected as he is, and I don't think through any fault of his own, You're basing a lot of this on phony data that we were given from China, so that through the world community's response time way way off, which again then highlights how insightful the president was ten days after the first case in in the country to put in the China travel ban. I was just smart but it became you know, in New York, for example, March second, you have Governor Cuomo saying, well, we're not like these other places. I don't mean to be an arrogant New Yorker, but we were ready for this. We can handle this. They weren't ready. And I'm not blaming the governor here. This is not finger pointing. It is a lot wasn't known. But the person that ends up with the best timeline, that reacted the fastest, ended up being the President himself. Not that he'll ever get any credit from anybody in the mob. They just they're not capable of acknowledging that they were wrong. And they did pull politicize the virus, and they did it early. And the dopey New York Times telling people after the travel ban in early February, oh, yeah, who says it's not saved to travel to China? And you want to talk about politicizing it Trump virus? If you're feeling awful, you know who to blame. And every other dumb thing that they said, now, there's nothing Donald Trump can do that is right in their minds. You know, there was a Wall Street journal piece and op ed by Robert C. O'Brien and he talks about the seven Fateful coronavirus decisions. Now, I would argue considering New York thought, New York government, New York City government, state government was saying everything's fine in early March. Now between then and now, which is now seven weeks, but we've been ready for three weeks. So in four weeks, this president was able to get not only enough ventilators, now we have an overflow of ventilators, he was able to get that up and running. He was able to get all the masks, all the shields, all the gowns, all the respirators in a mobilization, medical mobilization that we had never seen before. And it wasn't the states that got this done. It was the federal government that got that done. Then you get the hospitals built at the Javits Center, the the you know, the Navy hospital ship comes to town. Then they have to be converted to COVID nineteen hospitals, not an easy task. Then they didn't have the personnel. The President staffed it for New York. And you have that idiot Mayor of New York to Blasio, you know, what are you? What is the mister President, you're gonna tell New York to drop dead. If you were left to your own devices, mayor how many thousands and thousands or more people would have died. You had no ventilators. You had nothing. The five hundred ventilators you inherited from Mike Bloomberg you auctioned off because you didn't maintain them. And you don't even know who you auctioned them off too, you know, and you and it had been recommended that New York City, not the state, by nearly ten thousand ventilators, just like the state. They said peak week, you're gonna need seventeen thousand, I'm sorry, fifteen thousand, seven hundred eighty three ventilators. They didn't have them. The President, he assembled the team January twenty ninth, established the White House Coronavirus Task Force. This is now hang on. That's eight days after the first case in the US. The first case, by the way, New York's first case was March one. March one. That's how quickly this thing ripped through New York State. You know, that's seven weeks ago. That's how quickly it happened. You know, Fauci saying, you know, still low risk for people in the United States on February twenty ninth. He was not saying, he was not giving a wrong opinion. He was basing it on the information they had, anecdotal and otherwise, and the lies that China was telling. But he did that on the twenty ninth. Then he ordered the travel band that was racist and xenophobic, and of course hysterical and fearmongering, which happened from Joe Biden's CNN and the rest of the clowns and the mob. In early March, the President suspended travel even further and quarantines by the way, we're put in effect not long after the first travel band. Then we had the additional travel bands. Then the virus began to stretch the public health resources, you know, that's when they began on March sixteenth, fifteen days to slow the spread. March nineteenth, the President announced the avail availability of rendissevere. That that apparently, according to others, we talked at length about it earlier on. We haven't talked about it as much recently. For patients and emergency situations. A lot of anecdotal information about that hydroxy chloroquin even though you have the foremost expert doctor Wallace forty two years experience, head of rheumatoid art right as lupus. Everything in the country, you know, not one time in forty two years prescribing hydroxy chloroquin did anybody ever have to be hospitalized? He said? The risk at these doses are nil. But everybody you know wanted to bludgeon the president on that too. But allowing, for example, the you know, the right to choose compassionate use up label. I'm sorry, off label. These are all innovative things. Now everybody snaps their finger. Where are the ventilators? Okay, you don't get to snap your fingers and things just appear. But they did it. They got the job done. What the what the federal government did will be studied, I'm telling you for years and years to come. And he gets not only no credit, you have idiots all over the mob. It is a twenty four seven, you know CNN on March fourth, worry more about the flu, and all they do is criticize the president, without whose help and ability to mobilize. Unlike well other bureaucratic presidents save lives, just like the travel bands save lives. He acted early. He acted energetically. He went all in, he got the job done, and the thanks he gets his never ending attacks. It is beyond the sickest point in time and history that I've seen in my life. Really is. And as we roll along Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean now the president, this should be front and center. In one hundred and ninety six days, he is suspending immigration over coronavirus number one. He needs to protect US jobs, and he has signed an executive order temporarily suspending immigration. Does it now make sense for all the people? It? Reflexively instinctively every two four years. Republicans are racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, misogynistic. They want dirty air, water and kids to die and granny and grandpa to die. That securing our borders is for a lot of reasons. Number one should be okay, checking people's do they have ties to radical groups? Number two should be about the drug trafficking, the ninety percent of heroin and most of the fent and all that makes it into this country that kills three hundred people a week. Number three should also be health screenings. Number four needs to be another good reason is okay. Do you have the means to take care of yourself financially when you arrive. We can't put that burden on the American taxpairer. And then if you if you then are invited and then you're part of our family, you pay for your own background check. That is how you do it. Now, we have more updates on opening the country and doing it safely, more updates on testing that we'll get to in the course of the program. Today, Kevin McCarthy joins us doctor Oz roger Stone. We got a busy newsday. We'll hit it all straight ahead, all right, eight hundred nine four one sewn Tolfrey telephone number. You want to be a part of this extravagance. A great timeline. Deroy Murdoch put out coronavirus timeline. Trump acted early energetically. Don't buy Democrats criticisms. Remember Nancy Pelosi was telling everybody to go to Chinatown. Nancy Pelosi was prepared for nothing. The people of California. Frankly, Gavin Newsom, he did a great job for the people of California. You look at what she was advising people. She was in the middle of impeachment when the President put the travel ban in effect. When the President talked about the coronavirus in the State of the Union address, she was too busy, you know, pre tearing the papers for her temper tantrum that was to follow a pre planned you know, aid for camera's moment of her ripping up the president's speech. She you know, tore them one by one by one, and you know, so they would rip and she wouldn't look stupid trying to rip it not being able to rip it. That's their timeline, you know. Same with New York. Every New York political figure as it relates to March, we're saying, oh, nothing to worry about. They were prepared for nothing. You know, Mayor of New York prepared for nothing. Doesn't even know who he sold as ventilators too. I knew you're gonna tell New York to drop that. He built you the biggest hospital in the country and staffed it and even converted it to COVID nineteen. And he did it in a week. To Blasio, what the hell is wrong with this guy? And the same with you know, the comfort that was sent that was converted to COVID nineteen. You don't have ventilators. Don't worry. Donald Trump bailed your sorry, pathetic, unprepared hide out. He's gonna say, drop dead to New York. Unbelievable. And this represents this is now, this is what they do. Oh, the president's trying to open the country too early. He's empowering governors to make decisions on the ground. He's spelled out in specific detail that if you need fall short, we'll try, we will help you. You know this. You know, people say, well, where's the drive up testing? Okay, that was twenty iterations ago. Drive up testing. Well, now we have an antibody test. Now we have a five minute test, a six hour test, a twenty four hour test, of forty eight hour test. We got more testing coming online than ever before, just like the ventilators are coming off the GM assembly lines that he got up and running. Just like the masks were there, the ventilators were there, the gowns were there. Was everything perfect? Nope, But New York would have been an unmitigated disaster but for the President's actions on all of this. And they still politicize pretty much everything that they do. Now they are working with all the governors and no tree is tested more than the United States by far millions more. As a matter of fact that you look at most of these other countries combined, we've done more than all of them combined. They have prepared everything four Phase two. They're preparing for all the testing they need. I saw a really cool thing, sweet Baby James pulled out today and for big buildings in New York, they can you can walk through a non invasive entry point into any New York building if they're willing to invest a little bit of money and a non invasive instantaneous temperature check. Now it's pretty cool you get that. You can open up these when you open up New York City, I would still stay with fifty percent of the workplace stay at home. Well, you can use that new technology. Maybe the state can go in and buy them. That would not be a bad idea either, So that would help, I think in the long run. So but you cannot. It's sad. It's all predictable. But it's sad. This is just who Democrats are. This is what they do. They've done this from the beginning. They have played politics, politicized, weaponized a virus to bludgeon the president, and none of them, Every Democrat and every mob media person needs to be asked a single question in retrospect, was the travel ban the president put in place? Was that travel ban in retrospect the right thing to do? Did it likely prevent thousands and thousands of Americans from contracting the virus? Answer that question. Did it likely prevent many many Americans from dying? Did it likely prevent this from being exponentially worse? Now a lot of Democrats won't be able to answer that question because they cannot get over their hatred of this president. Now, there were some people out there. I don't particularly buy the herd argument. I read a lot about it, and many have looked to the country of Sweden. They avoided a national Corona virus lockdown. Like for example, I think that Governor CHRISTI Noman, her state of South Dakota, made a really good decision for South Dakota because obviously have a large geographic area, you have built in social distancing. She appealed to South Dakota's to look out for their neighbors, be responsible, stay distant, take precautions, and the people buy and large in South Dakota did a great job. They had one outbreak about eight hundred people in a pork processing plant, which is sad. It's one of those situations where people are in particular close contact. Everybody seems to forget in this argument about staying home. Nancy Pelosi's ice cream chest design, her ice cream chest in her gated mansion in San Francisco, with all the ice cream, Well, the ice cream wouldn't be there if they weren't people producing and manufacturing the ice cream. All these people that kept building the equipment that was needed in New York and New Jersey and Connecticut in other areas where there was a significant outbreak. Yeah, they wouldn't have had any of that equipment if we shut down those manufacturing plans. But people bravely went to work there every day to help protect the people on the front lines fighting this invisible enemy. The reason your store shelves are filled because people kept working. Truckers kept trucking, farmers kept farming, and packers kept packing. It's unbelievable. Everyone wants everything at the snap of a finger. It doesn't work that way, but we still got it done in the end. I wouldn't recommend states doing this in the future. I think New York City, especially, you better take very big stock of what could have happened here if your federal government didn't step in and do what you should have been preparing for, Mayor Dublasio, and that is this is yup ground zero. Yep. The first trade center attack was right in your city, mister man, the Royal Trade Center hit and collapsing both buildings nine to eleven. That's your city. You are one of the top terror targets in the entire world, never mind the US. Now, if you have a pandemic, not that hard to figure out. As your very office was warned about in New York City that you'd need ten thousand ventilators peak week, you had none. You had zero. The only ventilators in New York City were in the hospitals that they had in stock and ready. Some hospitals did prepare for emergencies, others did not, So we had we had to start at the basics. And again, you know, the President's the one that was able to organize all of this and make sure every need was taken care of it. It is not an easy lift, and a lot could have gone wrong that didn't go wrong, and a lot went right, more than I would have thought could go right. Anyway, there's this company called brick House Security. I haven't tested and I'm just looking at it. And you know those like when you're going through security and many building in New York. If how do I explain maybe similar to like going into a turnstyle without the turnstyle. This could be really big for opening up Major League Baseball, and this could be important I think for the NFL. I want to see the NFL up and running this year wherever possible. Again, I can't make those decisions. I can only say that I think the American people they would support. I think most Americans if there's some rules, if they have to go through this device that they have. Linda, did you see this pretty cool? Yeah? I mean it's like all these innovations are amazing. Yeah, it detects you walk through, It detects the body's temperature, no contact, and you could do a ton of people at once. You go through, you go through, you go through, you go through, you go through. I mean, it's amazing. Now they do have facial recognition to identify anyone with an elevated temperature. That part I don't like. You got to maintain medical privacy. Now, if somebody, let's say shows up hot. You know, you walk over, you don't ask their name, You just pull him aside, say, listen, you have a high temperature. Here's our recommendations. Go to your doctor, get tested. Here's what contact tracing means. Here's how to protect yourself. If you're going to be around your family until you get your result, hopefully negative, we're not going to be able to let you into the game. But here's what we're gonna do. We'll take your tickets. We're gonna give you better tickets the next time you come. I guarantee you the NFL would do that, and I guarantee you Major League Baseball would do that guaranteed. And then look, they'll pay the money for these things to make it go more quickly. But it was pretty cool, just like you know, I look at all the avid testing going on as well. Fauci is on record now saying, yeah, it's possible baseball could be played with fans in the stands. And I think that's true too, he said, just he said, don't bet on it yet, but he did say, yes, it's possible. He did an interview on Yes Networks with Jack Curry yesterday reiterating MLB's idea of having a shortened season games played in you know, maybe a one or a handful of seasons cities. I don't know if you can do it in indoor stadiums yet, but they're gonna have to figure out where and when. You know. Again, governors, you're elected to do a job. Also, you're the chief executive of your state. Get off your ass and do some mark Georgia, Tennessee announcing their plans to reopen beaches now open in Florida. But from the images that I've been seeing, people are still kind of social distancing. I think some people, younger people who are playing volleyball. Maybe not the best idea, but across the oh, hang on a second, I'm being given a text here. Why are you texting me in the middle of my show? Let's see? Yeah, I know, I know. And all of these things are going to depend on, you know, just a short term acceptance of a new normal. The temperature, checks, the mass, the gloves, you know, more teleworking, tele medicine. It's it's gonna be ways in the future that we're going to get better healthcare, better work conditions than we ever thought. I think people are going to realize, hey, this works. By the way, Tyler Merritt is with us and he and his group at nine Line, they have been doing a whole big mask project. How are you sorry? I heard you gonna have millions of them? Yeah, doing pretty good, Sean. It's been a head dick a couple of weeks when California has shut down all of their businesses, they shut down our partners at Billa Canvas is the largest US made manufacture of apparel, gets the same shirts that your products are pretty You have the Mask for Heroes initiative, and you're going to donate these protective masks for people in the healthcare industry, first responders, military community, and elsewhere. Yeah. We partnered with the leading engineers and aerospace of Detroit RCIO Engineering, as well as a bunch of incredible scientists and doctors from around the country to come up with a USA made and ninety five variant. Now we can't say that just yet because we are in the process of applying for accelerated FDA approval. But we're going through the testing, We're going through the litany of paperwork to get this fast track. Right now, I have the product available and I'm giving the first thousand away to our first responders, military members, and doctors who are coming to me saying, hey, I will sign indemnity waivers. I understand that my hospital group won't allow us to purchase this for insurance purposes. I understand that I can't get it to the military members for those same reasons. But the individuals are coming and saying I need it, I'm going without. So we've put an incredible amount of time, money, and effort to get these products to people like my mother who's on the front lines of the northeast of the nurse and my father who is a cancer survivor. And it's the first step to get us back to work because people right now they're still concerned, and if this gives them that sense of security and they're willing to go back to work so that we can get on with this, then that's what we need to do. And we need to remember that we outsourced our ppe. We outsourced are essentially our national security to China, to the companies like three M and they're they're bad actors. You know, they control the supply in a time when the demand was skyrocketing and they took advantage. And right now I can make these products cheaper, faster, better in the United States with our partners. Listen, I think it's great. It's amazing to me to watch this mobilization of people and the creativity of the American people, you know. One of the great things about I think the new normal and rewriting these books on how to deal with future pandemics. I don't think Tyler people are going to be questioning travel bans anymore. I didn't even see a whole lot of criticism of the President, you know, and as executive order, which I mentioned at the top of the show, which is, yeah, for the time being, we are shutting our borders down. Usually we would have the predictable xenophobic, racist garbage. But the innovation of America's entrepreneurial spirit and industry and the ability of GM and Ford and our labs and our pharmaceuticals and big box stores and people like yourself. I mean, it's been unbelievable to watch people change on a dime and do it successfully. Well, it's worth time. Yeah, I know. I've been to Ward a dozen times with different countries, and this is economic warfare, this is biological wor if I don't care what you want to call it, but we need to learn from it. There are incredibly amazing politicians out there, and there's leaders out there like our President that are taking proactive measures with the information he's given at that time. So people like to armshare quarterback, but he is a businessman and he is trying to protect us. There's others. I'm working with Senator Perdue, another incredible businessman who is leading the fight with trying to get us back to work. And there's just a lot of individuals out there that are either not educated, or they're not business people, or they're not here's my advice to people as we begin open up, stop, you know, choose. I'm making a decision personally. I don't care what the law is that for the health safety security of others that I'll wear the mask if I'm gonna wear it for myself, No, I really am not, That's my honest answer. But I'll wear it because I don't want I'm a pretty healthy person. I'm in the best shape of my life. This virus is pretty tough, though, but I think i'd be fine, that's my guess. But I don't want to infect other people. I don't I would not want to live with knowing I infected other people. I wouldn't want that. So that's why you know, we can choose to do it. If you're gonna keep distances, choose to do it. I made a choice to make sure that my stabs are distant and have masks. Anyway, you can get all of this where can people see what you're doing on nineline Yeah nine unfail dot com. And then we've built a site called Ninline Mask that has all of our research. But you hit the nail on the head that you and I are both healthy humans. If we didn't care about our loved ones like my father who just recently survived cancer, this would be left an issue. But you have. That's why you know. I said I'd wear it at a football game, and I'd wear it at a baseball game. Absolutely. All right, Thanks Tyler, appreciate it. A glad you with us our two Sean Hannity Show toll free. It is eight hundred and nine four one Sean if you want to be a part of the program. All right. Looking to the answers, how we can safely open the country, different challenges different states. Some states now are beginning the process of slowly opening and doing it safely. I know some governors have gone a little bit too far. New York is going to allow elective outpatient treatment in some areas, which is good. There have been people that have been putting off needed operations, but not emergency operations for quite a while, and so that's the beginning of opening for their Doctor Fauci saying it is possible to maybe open up the baseball season and with people in the stands, but it's got to be done the right way. It's got to be done safely, and like doctor ros has been, and maybe we try it in areas that are less impacted by the virus. Uh. Doctor Oz joins us. Now, by the way, we keep getting new updates on testing, and I was mentioning earlier in the program, there's a company that we found that actually produces like if you have a turnstile, they take the temperature of people, which I think could be used by MLB and the NFL, and I think the NFL and Major League Baseball would go all in to make it really easy to get a lot of people's temperatures checked very quickly and very you know, in a way that's not totally inconvenient for people. I agree it's a It's an opportunity for a country to figure out better ways of doing what we uhould do without thinking much about it. But I think it's also a wake up call that shows that you know, the things we took for granted, and a lot of this has to do with the general public health infrastructure of the country are things we could do better and why not learn from this? I mean, moving pon COVID nineteen one day we will hopefully be able to do. How about just a basic influenza. We don't have a lot of vaccines to illnesses that hurt folks that we don't even talk about. We have some vaccines that a lot of times aren't taken even but some of the basic infrastructure of living in crowded urban areas requires us to be thoughtful about these things. Interestingly, Asian countries have been hurt by this more in the past, so in many ways they've been more attentive to these issues that could have helped us in this crisis and hopefully will prevent future ones. What do you how do you feel now about the treatments? For example, I'm reading more and more about remdissm here. You know, it's funny. I got an interesting call from a friend of mine earlier today and said, you know, very cynical. Friend. One of the reasons people are pushing rend disappear over something like hydroxy chloroquin is probably because you can't make money on hydroxy chloroquin. Obviously, it's a sixty five year old drug and it costs pennies now to make and to sell. And when disappear, I guess is I guess still in a stage where find Angeally, people may not understand the whole process of FDA approval for medicines. It takes a long time. You only have a window of time where you have exclusivity in terms of production. Then the generics come online and over time it becomes something you don't make any money on. Basically, we're all rooting to find a solution to COVID nineteen. I fact, they don't care where it comes from because it's an old, repurposed drug. Hydroxythoroquine is just one of many that are being tried now. There's their drugs that are destroyed, the use for gut that might be beneficial. They're drugs they're used for reflux that might be beneficial so there's a lot of folks out there with good ideas with laboratory data showing that they may be beneficial, but we got to sort of move it into people. That's why supporting these randomized trials is wise. We'll figure this out. I just want to do as quickly as possible. It from Desiviere is effective and it works differently. Obviously it's sooner. It's very specifically known to inhibit the ability viruses they replicate and designed for another virus, which is why even exists. Then I hope it works, but we need to have the randomized trial. The problem is that you can take data from just looking at what happened to people who are treated, and depending on biases you can have been identify sub skew the data one way or the other, which means you might lose opportunities to treat people, or I think you have opportunities that don't exist or missopportunities. And I think all that's part of the equation here and everyone desperately trying to collect data. My personal perspective is released all the data you can, because that way people can start to look through it and say, you don't I just notice something Hey, maybe it works this way not that way. But at the same time, we have to be a little poker faced until we find things that we really know are beneficial. And these clinical trials that are ongoing for all the medications that you know that that are we're promising we'll shed light on this, and thankfully that's one thing we're good at as nation's clinical trials. And there's a resistance among some in the country. And I think in part, I mean there are some really stupid rules that have been put in place by some of the states. I won't go over the list, just things that are are not helpful at all. And I think that for example, New York actually came up with a fairly good plan about wearing masks, and that is that if you're not socially distanced, put your mask off, and then there's no order, there's no penalty for somebody that doesn't. You know, I understand that there's nobody that's more of a civil libertarian than I am. Nobody that believes in medical privacy more than I do, or our constitution more than I do. I understand when people do go overboard, or states become so restrictive that there is a backlash. I understand the desire of everybody to get back to work. I don't understand why some people don't see the importance for other people, not for yourself, but for other people. That you're wearing a mask or you're wearing gloves. It's not about necessarily even yourself as much as it is about not infecting people that would be more vulnerable if they got this thing, which you and I both know. If you're vulnerable and this thing gets ahold of you, it ravages you. It's a bad virus, and folks that I trust have called it the most infectious virus they have personally worked with. I mean, smallpox is probably worse, but this thing is really bad being infectious. Now here's the catch, as you point out, and this is the big person I've made this week. When the White House Task Force CDC put out at the guidelines the three phases, the part equation that a lot of people missed was that the sixty percent of the American public who has pre existing core morbidities like high blood pressure, obesity, and hypertension, they're not allowed to leave. They don't get to go anywhere. And so for Phase one and Phase two, they're limited, So there's an opportunity here for people to at least take charge of their own health. I've rot close to the piece today called vulnerable vulnerability to vitality, right, So you're moving from vulnerable to being vital by starting to take control of as man Tho's respect is, as you can. And I think that's a plea we can all make and say, listen, the most patriotic thing you can do and the most empowering thing you can do while the world's falling apart around you, is to make sure that you're doing everything you can for yourself because it's going to allow you to get out there earlier than anybody else, that allow you to stay healthy, and God forbid you get COVID nineteen. It seems to improve your survival ry because think about its, ninety percent of the hospitalized patients have a comorbidity. But can I elivate the discussion a second, because people are seemed to be a big push to one side or the other. Do we open the country? Do we keep the country safe? And I wouldn't make the argument that if we open the country and people don't feel safe, it's not going to have an impact. Right, people aren't going to go shopping or go to hotels that they feel on safe. So we want to do both together. You have to have the testing that's been advised by the CDC. We want to show a trend towards improvement, not worsening, so everyone feels a hey, listen, you know it's working for whatever reason, the social distancing the masks, whether we're going for the first time out to our job that's pretty critical to the infrastructure of the country, or way down the road you go into a ball game. It's got to have the same result. People who are wise looked into it. They figure out this might work. We're going to try our best to make sure it works. We're going to do our part, you know, protesting against that or for that, it's not the point. At this point. We really have to agree that that is the goal, because if the country doesn't take it safe, it doesn't matter what everyone else is saying. What does it mean to medicine? You know, I've always I've always looked at Texas and they had medical tort reform down there, and it has to the doctors that I know down there, including my own knees. It has had a great impact on and provides an atmosphere for better care for patients based on Texas law. But you have this intersection now of medicine, which you're an expert at politics. I wouldn't call myself an expertose, let's just say thirty one years, I do have a little bit of experience with it. But unfortunately, what I see is you've got an intersection with politics and medicine and it's colliding. And you've got a number of factors in play here. One is you've got the politicians now getting their hands in the medical side of things and not an area where they're they're not even good at their day job. Why they're getting involved in any medical issue is ridiculous to me. And then you've got you know, doctors, I've come to realize you all are pretty freaking competitive, and you know, one doctors saying this, is another saying that, one saying if you say this, then it's that you know, I mean, it's not good for medicine, it's not good for patients. We ought to be able to have a civil discussion with varying points of view, but it's it seems to be harder these days. Well, doctors do fight a lot. There's a classic line when you know, we're in academia, and so we're used to being in an environment where people can be pretty blunt with each other because usually I'm saying, no, two plus two is four, and they're saying, no, it's just four point one. He's saying three point nine, and we're trying to figure out what is you know, is my version of two really two? It's so stuff, but it matters because we're fighting for the truth. As long as people are a razor focused on that, we can tolerate each other's biases, and interestingly, we don't take it personally. Have you heard of M and M conference or morbidity mortality conference? I am all right, So for the folks listening at lots of out there who may not have been exposed to this, once a week, all of us sit in a room and reality each other, like talk to your hosts, Yeah, except you're on the same network. In this case, you're actually literally in the same room. And sometimes you don't even like what the other person is trying to tell you, but you'll have an obligation, a sacred obligation to listen, because if people are saying things to you. Lives are a dependent so we go at each other. You shouldn't have done that, it cut the wrong place, You should not have had surgery. You have the wrong idea, and but guess what you learn? It hurts, but you learn, and that is what That is the foundation of democratic society, to be able to say your desire and not take it personally. And that's I think what's made medicine such a beautiful career for me and why I love it so much. Yes, it does get politicized sometimes in this kind of an environment. I wish you wouldn't, because it's easy for any one to make mistakes because there's a lot of things happening that did Believe me, I spent my entire day looking at inflow of huge amounts of information. Is it good, is it valid? How do I use it? Does it? Does it make me better to know that? Is it wasting my time to understand that? And then in my space in medicine, your major goal is making decisions even when you don't have complete data. Because doctors, why you don't mean a doctor if you have complete data, right, because the computer will tell you what to do. We've got to say, you know what, I know that data says that, and these other data says is over here. But you're a little different from that person, a little different from that study. So I think your best course is dead. And guess what. I tried it in a patient two weeks ago and it works. So I'm going to try it again, and then I'll educate myself and I'll get better by doing it, and I'll share my experience as somebody else. That's how medicine iterates. And I think we don't want that perverted, because that's really that culture is really hard to build. Let me ask this too, because I think this is really important going forward. How do you see if we really want to open the country and we want to open it safely, we want life back to normal. Um, listen, another one. Make me happier than to go to a Yankee game with you in the Jets or Giants game with you, or or that I'll fly to Dallas and go see the Cowboys, even anything at this point, but how do we do it? How do we get life back to normal? How do we do it safely? What is it going to take for people temporarily to make life as normal as possible and safe at the same time. I think we're gonna have to trust each other to do exactly what we're being asked to do by the folks of state leaders, health leaders, and the federal government, which is power up as much as you can social distance, which is you know, on our system here, because you're not gonna be able to police it. We're gonna have to make it easier for folks to get to work. You know, there's some big concerns appropriately about public transportation. We're gonna have to help folks get to work safely. Then once they're there, they're gonna have to be super delicate, and we've got to move to each other and to the healthcare professionals who are trying to do this with us, that we can actually keep the number of people who get hospitalized and get really sick from COVID nineteen down and keep it going down further by doing these things. As long as that works, and that was to me the most important inside of the whole guidelines. As long as we're heading in the right direction, then we open it up a little further, go a little further. Different states will do it in their own different way, but that data is essential because that answers all your questions, because guess what, who doesn't want to go back to work after being you know, isolated as long? Who doesn't want to be able to go out and enjoy time with their friends or you know, to fulfill their life's dream. But none of us are going to want to do it if our families are at risk. I think these are all good points. So I think it's more doable, and I think people will be more cooperative people than others think. I think when you explain it in a way that says, look, I can't stop you. You're going to do what you want to do, but could you do it for other people? And you know, just appeal to people, And I think it's possible. I agree with you. On public transportation. I think that's a really really big challenge in a city like New York. Doctor ros you've been a rock star. We appreciate everything you're doing. Thank you. Eight hundred nine four one, Sean told free telephone number. House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy wrote a letter to Speaker Pelosi. He'll tell us about it next. Roger Stone coming up, and Roger Stone should absolutely never spend a day in jail, and I'm going to tell you why. Like many of you, I suffer from insomnia. Although you know, when I do fall asleep now, which is rare thanks to my pillow and all the my pillow products I love, I'm just sleeping harder. I mean, it's it's very, very you know, hard time, I guess for everybody, and it weighs on you even more than you think at times. All right, as we roll along eight hundred nine four one, sean, if you want to be a part of the program, you know you always see the worst in people, right, How often have we talked about that? So Acasio Cortez, the you know, champion of the New Green Deal no oil, no gas, no cows, no planes, no nothing, the leader to message in which she appeared to actually cheer the historic drop in oil prices as an opportunity to get rid of oil. And guess it is the lifeblood of our planet, of our economies, the world economy, and it's an opportunity to invest in green infrastructure. You know, like what Celindra, Here is where the level of ignorance is now. I know we all want lower oil prices, right, all of us. Here's the problem. At some point, nobody gets to keep their job because no oil company can produce oil at the prices that they are talking about. And that's it, all right, when we come back, we have Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican leader, also Roger Stone, why he should not at all be going to jail along with others because corruption that has been exposed. All right, twenty five till the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine four one, Sean, you want to be a part of the program I have right here in my hands, Madam Speaker. It's time for Congress to get back to work. And this is from Kevin McCarthy writing to the Speaker. Designer ice Cream, February twenty four, Come to Chinatown, Pelosi, the one that was impeaching the president when the president was putting a travel ban in effect, the person that was pre ripping for her temper tantrum planned post State of the Union, while the President was talking about COVID nineteen. She was pre planning and pre ripping her papers for her big temper tantrum on TV planned out of course. I'm writing to request request that we work to establish a clear, safe, effective plan for reopening Congress, how the speaker sits in her gated mansion on a regular basis and showing off her designer ice cream in her fancy ice box. Now, I have offered out of the goodness of my heart because Nancy Pelosi, the President's at work every day. Vin McCarthy's been at work every day, Mitch pocconnell has been at work every day, all these members of Congress. By the way, Kevin McCarthy flies commercial all the way back to California every single week, and he doesn't have Nancy Pelosi's access to her private jet and her carbon emissions on top of all of that, and she sits there. She has been the single most destructive force as speaker in history and frankly, one of the dumbest people I've ever seen in Washington. She can't for five seconds, even during a national emergency, put aside her rage and her hatred of the president too for the good of the country. Now, Gavin Newsom, did you know. I have my disagreements with Gavin Newsom, but he did a pretty good job for the people of California, I will say that, and I give him a lot of credit. He work with the President was willing to speak the truth. And the truth was this president delivered big time for all these states. All the ventilators, all the respirators, all the gloves, the gowns, the shield as you name it, and the hydroxy chloroquin Yeah, that all came from Donald Trump. All the hospitals, all the Navy ships. Yeah, they were built and sent by Donald Trump. In the case of New York, they were even. All the personnel was put in there, and they were converted to COVID nineteen, which is not an easy task because you got to change the ventilation anyway. The only people now remember, we're happy that we go into our local grocery store and that there's food. You can thank the guys that in the store that are putting, you know, groceries on the shelves every day. And I see these guys. I tell them every time I go into the store, guys, please be safe, be careful, take you know, take extra precautions. I say this to all these guys. Actually tried to give a tip one day to a guy in my local place, and it was like twenty bucks and I the guy refused the tip. I'm like no, no, no, So I just dropped it, and then as manager came running over, he's not allowed to take it like the guys. You know, I just want to say thank you, and I thought I was going to get arrested for trying to tip the guy. But they're on the front lines making sure that everything's full. Our farmers are farming, or packers are packing, or truck drivers or truck driving, and they're getting everything delivered, you know. But Congress, you know they're they're sitting on their ass doing nothing. And why doesn't she get back to Washington. Presidents there every day doing two three hour press conferences every day to update the nations. So the mob and the media can attack him every second of the day. But they are being watched in record numbers. And I know because I see ratings. I used to be number one in cable until Donald Trump began his press conferences. Linda was making fun of it today, but it's important. We're in the middle of a national emergency, a pandemic. People need information. Presidents there every day giving information. Anyway. Kevin McCarthy has been there most of the time with him, although flying back to California to be with his family and to be with his constituents when possible, he joins us. Now and you talk about the business of Washington. What she's scheduled to come back in May. How long has she been away? Hey? But you know what else she has done though? She has used the American workers as ponds during this pandemic. Remember during the Cares Act when we had a full agreement, she holds it up to get more money for the arts, more money for the Kennedy Center, and how many thousands of people got laid off. Now we have a small business program that's been so affective. In fourteen days, they have moved as much money that the SBA has actually produced in fourteen years in fourteen days to keep people hired, to keep that small business afloat while they're shut down. And you know what Nancy Pelosi did when they ran out of money because they're affected, she stopped it. She's just creating roadblocks instead of replenishing that money. And then she thinks you shouldn't come back to Washington. Well, her behavior. Look go back to the first bill we had American workers. They had to wait at least another week plus because of her demands, which were, let's see, seventy five million for the National Endowment for the Arts, seventy five million National Endowment for Humanities, you know, twenty five million for the Kennedy's Center for the Performing Arts that then took the money and fired all their employees. I mean, it's just outrageous. And now you know, we're trying to refill the money for small businesses and loans that are going to be available and grants that are being available. These people desperately need it. And I'm by the way, I am saying that we should pass no more bills that are any bill that has anything non COVID nineteen related should not be in there. Republicans have got to hold the line. We can't be wasting money when we don't have it. So you know, that's what we've done on this bill. What she did in that Billy you just talked about before the Cares Act to the American public, she held it up because she cared about green new she cared about changing election law. She wanted to become more powerful about sanctuary cities. And listen, it falls all the way down into her own members. Congresswoman Jaipaul, she's upset that we're going to pass this bill to help small businesses because she wanted to Democrats to hold out longer to get more leverage. AOC says, she loves to see it happen, all these thousands of people who are losing their jobs in the energy industry. That's what she treats. And then her number three, the most powerful whip that you have in Congress, the majority whip. Right now, Cleburne. He thinks the coronavirus gives them the opportunity to restructure government into their liberal view and she wants to put some oversight committee and put him in charge to be able to restructure government. Now we're learning this that if we come back and vote on this, she wants to run through a rules change in the House hasn't been done in more than two hundred years, to put proxy voting in to give her more power. They want to change election laws. They want to change immigration laws. They want to they want to use this. How could you be happy? These are high paying career jobs in the energy industry. Now, I can never figure out, Linda. How many times over the years have I said I cannot figure out how to invest in natural gas oil and the energy industry. I just don't know it. I've asked, you know the former what's his name, Hoffmeister, former head of CEOs Oil. Yeah, yeah, I mean I've asked him so many times because I want our oil industry doing well. But when you can't, when the prices are that low that you've got to shut down business, people lose jobs in those environments. It's the lifeblood of the world's economy. Congressman, it's more than just jobs. It keeps our world safe. You look at geo political it's fundamentally different what I Ran tried to do in the world when we're energy independent, what sani Arabian Russia did and when they did it. It is a perfect storm with the economy moving down because of this virus of China lying to the world that we watched oil go to a negative number, and AOC who's probably the most known Democrat in the country, she tweets, you absolutely love to see this. Americans losing their job. This is the leader and the thought person inside their conference. And why because the head of their whole party, Nancy Pelosi, says the same thing as long with the number three, that is what's harming America. And Thursday we'll get the new report for those who are unemployed for the last week. That is the Nancy Pelosi unemployment, because she has driven this by holding this middle up where it was already working, no policy changes, just requesting more money for that, and requested more money for hospitals, and she held it up. Unbelievable. So are we there? Are we done? Is it gonna? You know, we're gonna get that part of this done. We've got an agreement. It's supposed to pass the Senate today, probably sometime after five. The House will take a vote on it. She's going to try to use this opportunity to change rules in the House. They're put in proxy voting, which is unbelievable. Why would you ever, over two hundred years not work bipartisan how to deal with this? We have states, even Cuomo saying he's planning for how to open. I have sent a letter. I want to be established a clear, safe, effective plan to reopen Congress. You can open some committees, you can do it in a manner that is safe. I want to make sure it's safe. But wouldn't you think Congress would be essential. I've watched from the Civil War on where Congress continued to meet. We should know what we're doing these committees. We have the National Defense Authorization Act for our men and women in the military. That committee could be back here meeting in a big room, so they got distancing that we're not hurt by that shouldn't The Oversight Committee shouldn't be they be looking at the World Health Organism. What did they do on harming the rest of the world and whether money should be going there. There's so many committees and so much responsibility that we can do it healthy. But she wants to pull back change rules that make her more powerful. That hopefully she can try to what she wants to do, and we have stopped it all along the way. Try to do green new deal, try to deal something with planned parenthood, and jam through election law changes. I mean, that's in essence what she's trying to do with election law changes. She's trying to implement those into Congress right now. And it's worse than you think. Because every constituent of the country loans their voice to somebody for two years, they didn't loan it to Nancy Pelosi. They can't hold her accountable. They can only do that by changing the House. Well, we got an election in one hundred and ninety six days, and I know rightly so the country is not focused on this now. But now the President also has an executive order saying, hey, we're closing the borders until we get past this number one to protect American jobs. But it does raise the importance of for example, all these states that want to give in your state, I guess Gavin Newsom wants to give every illegal immigrant five hundred bucks. We have sanctuary state. Your state is a sanctuary state. Sanctuary cities like San Francisco, New York City, etc. They literally free healthcare for illegal immigrants. I can think of four quick reasons why we need to secure our borders. Number one, we need to know and check do background checks that people don't have ties to extremist organizations. Number two are Southern border. Ninety percent of the heroin and a lot of the fenton all in this country. That's killing three hundred Americans a week crosses that border. That's reason number two. Reason number three, I think health concerns now should be in the forefront, and I think a health check for people that want to enter the country is fair game, just out of an abundance of caution. For American citizens that are opening their doors in their hearts. Number four, I would say, people have to show we can't afford it, that you have the means of taking care of yourself if you get in here, and then welcome to our family. But those conditions have to exist. Those are conditions that existed at the creation of this country when people came here. And we want people to be able to immigrant here, the immigrate here on an honest way and through our laws in a legal way. But what the president is doing is what's dealing with the COVID crisis. He had right now, just like when January thirty first, when the Wealth, the World Health Organization said this wasn't being transferred human to human, that he was able to stop the Chinese from coming to America. Think of the number of lives of what had died had he not taken that action. But if you listen to the Democrats, they attacked him for it. They attacked him and almost a month later, in February twenty fourth, you mentioned earlier, Nancy Pelosi is down in Chinatown asking everybody to come together. While this president is trying to keep us safe in a healthy way. That's why he's looking at the borders and shutting him down because as we get past this, we don't want somebody else from the other countries at that time to come into America and make us sick again. We've got to be able. Just as Democrats and America and Republicans talk about Tracy, it's the same difference on the border, very very challenging time. So have you heard from the speaker? Have you heard from any Democrats? Are there any Democrats that want to join? Were Republicans at this point understanding that what they are doing by trying to, you know, damage these bills and muddy up these bills with things non COVID nineteen related are hurting people, workers, hospital workers, out of work workers, industries, small businesses that need help. The only way we're able to get this agreement with Nancy holding it up for more than two weeks, because we knew it ahead of time. That's why we started asking. Democrats came up and objected her own. Democrats started going out against her publicly that they wanted to help the small business. They wanted to lend the small business money, even provide them grants to keep those individuals working. They may not be at the shop, but pay them, let them get through the next two months, as we get through this panademic and that we're able to come out of it in a safe manner. Maybe it's in phases, but those small businesses are so critical to us. We are already able to do more than thirty million jobs saved. But how many did Nancy Pelosi just get laid off in the last week by holding it up. We'll soon learn on Thursday, while we're voting for this, the numbers will come out, and that will be on the Democrats for holding it up for no other reason but to play politics. If ice cream design or ice cream and our free special freezer is holding her in our gated community mansion, she can get on our private jet with all the carbon emissions. And if she wants, you can make the offer. I'm willing to pay for, you know, a week's supply of designer ice cream and a freezer. If that will bring her back to work, how's that. I'll be very kind of. He'll be very helpful. And I don't know, I don't know if that that was when she was in San Francisco. Are her vineyard out in Napa. But the one thing I do know, come to Chinatown February twenty four. She's a genius, all right, Kevin, thank you. Kevin McCarthy is the House Republican Leader. How do people get in touch with you guys if they want, Well, if you go to Twitter, GOP leader is a great place to go. And we need everybody's help out there to really get the message out. Must keep us safe. But let we need to change the House in one hundred ninety six days. We need we need new leadership take the House. So they go to take the House dot com. That's the best way that they can get that basis to help. All right, Kevin McCarthy, thank you. When we come back, Roger Stone quick break right back, we'll continue HI News Round Up, Information Overload Hours Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean, you want to be a part of this extravaganza. Now, we have not been spending the time following up on although I have built my own dossier of very big important news developments as it relates to the deep state, everything that the mob and the media got wrong there, Russia, Russia, Russia, Trump Russia, collusion, collusion, collusion, Ukraine, Ukraine, and Peach and Peach and peach everything. They said, Well, we had four investigations culminating with the Muller Report, and guess what, there was no Trump Russia collusion. Not only did we have premeditated fraud on Afiz accord, as I have been telling you in our ensemble cast and nearly for three years, we got every single thing right, they got it wrong. The mob in the media. Our timeline on them on coronavirus is it is repulsive that they would ever think of criticizing anybody. Fake News CNN March fourth, they're telling people, are you more about the flu? You know? Politicians ms DNC, they're just they're off in another ozone layer. They're just gone. But they were wrong, and they lied, and they bludgeoned, and they smeared and they slandered, and they advanced conspiracy theories and hoaxes, all disproven. And in is psychotic rage against Donald Trump and anybody that likes Donald Trump. And this is who they are. This defines who they are. They never take responsibility, they never make corrections. We saw this with the New York Times. You know, they say, oh, well this guy listen to Hannity and he went on a cruise. And but Hannity, it said this in early March. Yeah, what they were quoting me saying was nine days after the guy went on the cruise. But the author of the article, oh, ends up saying just days before the cruise. Oh, I don't see what the big deal about the virus is. M that's called slander libel. And but this is who they are. We have now learned that they knew, and they knew early that not only was the Clinton bought and paid for dirty Russian dossier unverifiable and now we know debunked, but they also know and knew early on that in fact, it was the Russian government that was feeding this misinformation to the Christopher Steele and that they knew Christopher Steele was working and putting this together for Hillary Clinton. Remember the multiple warnings in fact, that were given by people even Bruce or and Kathleen Cavalac the State Department, that yeah, Steele has an agenda, don't trust them, it's a political agenda. Yeah, Hillary paid for it. Remember they hit all this from the FISO court and their applications, all four of them. But they knew from the beginning and it didn't stop them. That's what premeditated fraud on the Physo court. It turns out that the Russians were feeding a lot of anti Trump stuff to the Hillary's campaign. In other words, even the New York Times, finally late in the game, got it right. It was likely the dossier Russian disinformation from the get go. But they kept this investigation going, knowing that there was no legitimate reason for it. They abused their power. It's the biggest abuse of power corruption scandal in history. Now we have since learned other things. We learned that not only did Papadopoulos you say exculpatory things, nobody's working with Russia, what are you talking about? But they lied about him and they persecuted him, just like the same with General Flynt and the information we've been sharing about him, just like we now know remember the rate of Roger Stone's house for a process crime lying to Congress. By the way, very similar things in the Inspector General's report, many referrals about guys like come and McCabe and others lying to Congress process crimes. None of them have been charged. We can't have a dual justice system. We need equal justice under the law, equal application of our laws, or else we don't have a constitution, and so Rogerstone is what twenty nine men in tactical gear pre dawn raid frogmen, fake news, CNN cameras capturing all of it. Wonder where they got that information from. There's happened to be there at six am, five am, whatever it was. And then we find out in the Stone case that the jury four person had posted on social media prior in with have jury selection didn't acknowledge this truth that she hates Rogerstone and hates the President, and then the judge in the case instead of doing the right thing because last time I read, maybe I'm wrong that we are supposed to have impartial juries and free and fair trials for American citizens. We have a right to an impartial jury. Not in the Stone case, the judge or he proudly said, no, you don't get another case. This is a grave injustice. President weighed in on it recently. Here's what he said. And it's my strong opinion that the forewoman of the jury, the woman who was in charge of the jury, is totally tainted. When you take a look, how can you have a person like this, she was a anti Trump activist. Now can you have a jury pool tainted so badly, it's not fair. What happened to him is unbelievable. They say he lied, but other people lied too. Just to mention, Komey lied, McKay blied, Lisa Page lied, her lover struck, Peter Struck blied. Roger Stone joins us. Now this should not happen in this country. Roger Stone, I'm very sorry for you, Sorry for Papadopoulos, I'm sorry for General Flynn. This is how we treat thirty three year veterans. And frankly, there wouldn't even be a poem Manaford investigation but for all of this, regardless of what he may or may not have done on his taxes, even Michael Cohen, who I'm not particularly fond of, having not told the truth about me being in his client. But anyway, now you faced Jael, and you're worried this is a death sentence. Yeah, Sean, I think most Americans understand the decision to prosecute me was made long after they knew there was no Russian collusion. It is alleged that I lied to Congress about the Trump campaign's interest in the Wiki League's disclosures, which was a matter of public record, discussed one hundred and forty two times by candidate Trump himself in September in October. It doesn't even make sense. There was no underlying crime for me to lie about, but for an entire year the fake news media, the CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post. Rogerstone will be prosecuted for treason, perhaps bionage, for trafficking and stolen emails, for colluding with the Russians on behalf of Donald Trump. There was never any such evidence. I wasn't charged with any of those things. The best Andrew Weissman could come up with was this contrived charge of lying to Congress about things that were a matter of public record. And I can tell you now that no Trump supporter or Republican can get a fair trial in the District of Columbia. My jury included not a single Republican, not a single Trump supporter, not a single military veteran, not a single high school educated blue collar worker, not a single union member. It was a jury of liberal elitists and trump ters. And I, listening to the experts like Jonathan Turley and to politano Alan Dershowitz, I'm entitled to a jury of impartial and indifferent jurors. This lee juror attacked the president, called him a clansman, said all of his supporters were racists. That would include you and I, Sean. She attacked me on the day I was arrested. She attacked me pled not guilty publicly on Twitter and Facebook. Yet in jury selection she said she didn't know who I was. So at a minimum, I should be entitled to a new trial a minimum, But by the way, she should be try She should be brought up on charges for lying on a jury form, no question about that. But look, here's what was really going on. On July twenty fourth of twenty nineteen, the Muller team offered me a quote unquote deal. If I would mischaracterize thirty six individual telephone calls from candidate Donald Trump that took place in twenty sixteen, we could work out my charges if you'll just tell the truth, mister Stone, come clean and stop lying. Admit this was all about Russian collusion, including with the Russians. And I refused, And I knew when I refused that I was doing so at great peril. These people have destroyed me financially, I can't earn a living speaking or writing because I've been gagged. I've lost my savings, I've lost my home, I've lost my insurance, I've lost my car. But I haven't lost my faith in God, and I haven't lost by the support of my family, and I still believe in the American system, and I still believe justice will be done. But I will not give up fighting. And if I have to appeal, I will appeal. You're supposed to report to jail win next Thursday. So here's another example of the two tier justice system. Yes, call me Brennan Clapper at all. Hillary, They all lied to Congress on consequential matters. None of them were charged. But now you see Michael Vinati. There would be presidential candidate Michael Cone this afternoon. Rick Gates, the judge in my case, zeroed out his time incarceration on the weekends, doesn't have to serve at the same time that they are seeking to incarcerate me. Sean, I'm sixty seven years old. I'm in pretty good health, but I had some underlying respiratory problems as a child. I have some damage to my lungs. I think I'm a sitting duck for coronavirus. This is a vengeful, vengeful situation. I think being punished because I supported Donald Trump and I believed in him for a long time. I'm being punished because I wrote The Clinton's War on Women, which we launched on your radio show, which was an extraordinarily successful and accurate book about the epic corruption of Bill and Hillary Clinton. The chief prosecutor in my case was Jeanie Y Bill Clinton Pardon me, hillary Clinton's personal attorney and the attorney for the Clinton Foundation. The prosecutor on the Muller team who prosecuted me, Aaron Zelinski, was deputy counsel to Hillary Clinton at the State Department. These are not career line prosecutors, as the mainstream media tries to mislead you into believing this was a vendetta, because I have long believed that Donald Trump had what it took to be not only a great presidential candidate, but a great president, and he's proven. I think we've both been proven right and a conservative, which a lot of people doubt it at the time. And you and I knew better because we knew him for such a long period of time. You know, I just want to say something I know. I'm speaking from my audience here, Roger. And by the way, you are a painting my neck a couple of times. You know you once said Hannity's lobbying to be chief of staff, which was not true, but Bob put that aside. I actually never said. I actually never said that. But if you hear me out, I would explain it. But listen, you know what, here's what I do want to say to you. Very good to me. Let me tell you something, Roger, this should not happen to any American, what they've done to you. This is not the great United States of America, the great constitutional Republic. People need to hear this and understand that if it can happen to Roger Stone and General Flynn and Papadopolis and everybody else, and others that are far more guilty of the same so called process crimes get off scott free every time. We don't have a country, we don't have a constitution, Roger. I don't care if they like you or don't like you, like me, or don't like me, like Trump, don't like Trump. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because justice should be blind, equal process, equal application of our laws. Is critical. Stay right there, Roger Stone with us, and I'm praying you know, I don't know what the President's thoughts are in this that I hope there's justice to remedy the great injustice. This is here every liberal ought to be asking themselves, Wow, what if this happened to a liberal friend of mine and it was done by conservative prosecutors and a conservative judge? Think about that? All right? We continue? Roger Stone is with us at least post to report to jail next Thursday. We now know the jury four person had a bias specifically against him posting she posted things publicly against him. I guess she didn't say that on the jury questionnaire? Did she? I can't comment on that because it's sealed. Okay, Well, you know the judge in your case didn't have any problems problems unsealing my private text messages, Roger in case you don't know that, I'm compared to your problems and nothing. How does how do you go about this appeal? Because you know I couldn't even talk to you, had a gag order the whole freaking time. You couldn't even defend yourself, which is another violation of your constitutional rights, well from the beginning. I was prohibited. When the government's motions were granted, I couldn't raise the question of selective persecution. I was prohibited. I still don't believe there's any evidence that the Russians hacked the DNC other than the draft redacted CrowdStrike report. But I was not allowed, and therefore there the first four pages of my indictment, which alleged that that happened, and all of my lives are related to it. They wouldn't let to bring it up, but I would not allow wouldn't allow us to bring it up or to prove otherwise. And in the government took so much bad heat over admitting that they had relied on the CrowdStrike report that they filed an additional sir reply with the court, insisting that they had additional proof, but it was classified and they couldn't show it to us, which to me is a fraud upon the court. I only have about thirty seconds left. I want to I want everybody to know. You don't have any money, do you? No? God destroyed me. I'm I'm indigen literally indigen and if people want to help you, which I you know, I would like to help you and I haven't been able to for a lot of reasons that you know, how do they do it? The best thing to do right now is to go to Stone Defense Fund dot com. I've got to pay these lawyers to try to avoid dying in prison, and I wiped out. I raised two million dollars from Great Americans and Trump supporters, which I spent on my trial. Say it again, what's your website? The coverage are Barren Stone Defense Fund dot com. And if you want to sign a petition, go to free Rogerstone dot com a petition to the President. We'll continue all right, twenty five till the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine four one Sean. You want to be a part of this extravaganza. Um. You know, you look at everything that was done by the federal government and it is pretty amazing. There really is an incredible medical mobile that the President was able to get done. The Army Corps of Engineers executed thirty two facilities around the country fifteen thousand, eight hundred beds. They had all the personnel. The largest bed hospital bed area built in the country three thousand beds at the Javit Center in New York that was manned by the federal government. New York did not contribute at all. All the ventilators New York got short of what hospitals in New York had. They all came from the federal government and anyone that needed a ventilator got one, and they had many left over, but fifteen thousand, eight hundred bed capacity in about a month's period of time built around the country. We are now doubling the tests. We're near five million tests now. Over thirty million new swabs have been produced, will be produced in the coming weeks. Seventeen million lancense for the finger prick tests that have been going out there. That's that's all coming out. We have now again nearly five million Americans already tested. Then we have on top of that, then we have the antibody test. They are getting all the collections. We have the six five minute test, six hour test, twenty four hour test two on top of that. You know, getting the agents is a lot more complicated than some of these people think, but it's getting done as well. They are increasing by the Defense Production Act, the testing swab production and getting the agents to make sure the test is working. One hundred thousand ventilators procured by the federal government. Honeywell's hiring a thousand plus workers to produce twenty million more and ninety five masks a month. FEMA is now working to obtain three and eighty four million to order sixty four million gowns and everything else for healthcare workers. Pretty amazing mobilization in a month, but you wouldn't know it if you watched anybody else in the media, or watch I mean to watch these press conferences and the hostility, the hatred, the rage you know we're talking about. FEMA has spent five point seven billion just in COVID nineteen efforts health in human services. FEMA private sector have coordinated the delivery of now sixty million and ninety five respirators, with all these others in the hopper to be built monthly. Eighty five million surgical masks, six point four million face shields, twelve point three million surgical gowns, six hundred and thirty eight million sets of gloves, ten thousand, nine hundred and ninety eight new ventilators you know out there and created, and that the assembly lines are now working. Pretty incredible, But you never know if you watched anything in the mob in the media. I mean to the extent that they have politicized all of this. We were right from the beginning you said that's a hoax. No, we never said it was a hoax. I said they're politicizing a virus to use this as their latest host, as their latest hoax to bludgeon the president. Very different when you say it the way I said it, and you know, by saying to people, and you know doctor Fouci January twenty seventh on TV our Panel of Doctors, the twenty eighth the January Doctor Fouci back February tenth, talking about asymptomatic people, no symptoms, walking around, infecting so many others. I was one of the first people that I know of in the media to say, oh, that's a problem, big time. You watch, you know, the likes of Nancy Pelosi come to Chinatown February twenty fourth, you know, Comrade the Blasio, the mayor, mayor governor of New York. And I'm not even that critical of them, because some people, you know, there was we weren't being told the truth. But they were saying, oh, we can handle this and we're prepared, And they were not in any way shape manner of four. They weren't ready at all. Um. By the way, that's funny. I'm not gonna say it on air. Why go ahead, so you'd say it on air whatever you get. Why would you not want to say that on air? That's a thing of beauty. Yet again, whether I should sue The New York Times. You put up a poll. Yeah, unbeknownst to me, Thank you very much, And would you like to know the results? You just sent them to me. I already know the results. What is it? So go ahead and tell everybody. Oh my gosh, I gotta pull it up here. Okay, thank you for voting ninety six point one five percent yes, three point eight five percent No. That's basically like the twelve writers that the New York Times that voted no and then listen no, no final decision. Let's put it this way. It has been made. But let's just say that there's been a lot of conference calls lately, a lot. We have now seventy some odd percent of people now support the temporary immigration ban of the President. How didn't hear anybody? Has anyone called it racist? Yet it's gonna happen. It's just a matter of when Missouri is the first state to sue China for coronavirus damages. You can thank the likes of Ben Crenshaw and Tom Cotton for that. The White House is monitoring we you know, apparently Kim Jong u un. His health is in grave danger, according to varying reports that have been out there. He's not been seen publicly more than a week, apparently notably skipped the April fifteenth birthday celebration of his late grandfather, Kim Jung sung, his father's Kim Jong ill. Robert O'Brien, the President's National Security advisor, confirmed that the White House is monitoring reports on the health of Korean dictator Kim Jong un on. They're keeping a close eye, and as they should. I gave you the statistics earlier. The trend lines keep going down dramatically in New York, thankfully, not down enough yet, the lagging indicators down. I mean, we had a high of nearly what seven hundred ninety nine deaths a day in New York. It's now at the last two days for the first time since April first, below five hundred. Still a lot of people, but at least we're going in the right direction. Hospitalizations now or down dramatically, intubations down dramatically. The CUOMO apparently meeting with the President at the White House today. The Corona death rate now is at the lowest in two weeks across the US. JOHNS Hopkins reporting one thousand, four hundred thirty three people died from the virus in twenty four hours ending on April twentieth, today be in the twenty first The death toll now at forty two thousand, comes after more than forty five hundred people died from COVID nineteen in a single twenty four hour period last week. But again, we're looking at trend lines. It's kind of hard to talk about trends when you're talking about real people and real families and real death. We know that a number of new coronavirus cases declined in New York and New Jersey, and Massachusetts has become the latest hot spot we're keeping an eye on that. I'm not sure why at this point. Rhode Island got hit particularly hard because it kind of sits there between Boston and New York, not exactly geographically the best place to be. Joe Biden, you know, it's funny to see Joe Biden puts out an ad against Trump about China because his own son travels on Air Force two in this trip to Asia, including China, and two weeks later it gets a billion dollars deal from the Bank of China. And we don't have any record of any experience in any of you know, I don't know why they wouldn't go to Goldman's Sacks or any of the big banks in America to do this deal. Why they go to Joe Biden's son, zero experienced hunter anyway? He you know, since December twenty nineteen, the Chinese government has actively concealed the severity of this coronavirus. Biden embraced as with a ran a very devish approach on the campaign trail. You know, he dismissed the notion that the US should be worried about China. They're not competition for us. He said, really, China is gonna eat our lunch. Come on, man, that's Joe said that Joe's not had a particularly good day for himself either. But I can get to that in a Secondo's Joe's struggling, Poor Joe. Joe Biden has a lot of issues these days and so science matters, and all Dale's been saying, Governor Wolf is listen to the scientists supply of those masks, ninety six masks, And should the country start to reopen by May first? What do you say to county that have zero to no cases? Should they be allowed to real Look if you take a look at Milwaukee and look at your counties, look at Wisconsin. Generally Milwaukee less than the hospitals in Milwaukee lessan a week's supply that they need. The hospitals have less than a week's supply of goggles and face masks and swabs and shields, and hospitals one third of them have less than a week's supply of those and ninety five masks and excuan ninety six masks. The authority in the Defense Production Act to be able to go, just like you did with general motors, to say bill ventilators. He has the same thing authority to say in order everybody says, Look, there's three things that have to happen, testing, tracking, and treatment, this nominating process because you know so. In the course of one day, Joe Biden bizarrely confused the Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf with Dale Wolf, who's the governor of Delaware back in ninety three, he incorrectly said about N ninety five Masks called him N ninety six Masks. Now, I wouldn't matter if it was, you know, somebody that had their act together. But with Joe, it's like, okay, you just know it's part of this pattern. He completely ignored a question about reopening Wisconsin economy and then just you know, reads unrelated talking points located above the camera, and you can tell he's doing it, changing his thoughts completely mid sentence, looking down into his notes, bumbling and bumbling about testing, tracking and treatment. It's it's all written out in front of him. On top of it, he confused Labor Day with Memorial Day. Great job, Joe. Now he's attacking the president. He's been missing in action. I mean, what does this guy do every day? You know them, I will tell you it's these are unbelievable times we live in and the mob in the media. There's nothing Donald Trump can do that is ever going to be right for them. And you know it doesn't the lies of Joe Biden. It's all gonna come to I'm going to get to this right, Let's get to the phones here, real quick, let's say hi to Ashley San Diego. What's up, Ashley? How are you hi? Hi? Um? I just want to thank you for your show for waking me up, because I feel like I've been brainwashed by the media the last ten years or so, and I think I think stuff's going to come out that is gonna shock everyone, honestly. And I just noticed that like MSN and CNN, they report the exact opposite of what Trump says in his life breakings or he or they exaggerated. I started watching his life breakings and then I would go back to CNN and MSN and my mind was blowing, like I love Trump. Now this whole thing is like, really showed me what is going on. Well, once you see media bias, once you sort of open your eyes to it, isn't it funny? How like it justice? It's like, how did I not see this before? It is that I had like multiple epiphanies. Yeah, well, I gotta I gotta put you on hold. Ashley. Thanks for a great qual I wish you're the best out in San Diego. I wish I was out there with you. Actually, the President's Task Force is beginning and prestations along the Sean Hannity showed network will take this to the end. Well, thank you very much everyone for every big day today. I want to start by saying that our love and prayers if every American continue to be with our fellow citizens who have lost the cherish friend or family member to the virus. Amidst our grief. We're making tremendous strides against this invisible enemy, thanks to our aggressive campaign against the virus and the extraordinary talent of our medical professionals. Or mortality rate remains roughly half of that of many other countries and one of the lowest of any country in the world. And that's due to a lot of a lot of things. But our medical professionals have been incredible. Since we announced our guidelines on opening up America as we call it, we say opening up America, and we add the word again. I think we can add the word probably again, but that's what it is. We're opening up America again. Twenty states, representing forty percent of the US population, have announced that they are making plans and preparations to safely restart their economies in the very near future. So that's twenty states. It's about forty percent of our country. They're moving along pretty quickly. Three announced today, as you know, and they're going to be doing it safely. They're going to be doing it with tremendous passions. They want to get back to work. The country wants to get back to work. A short time ago, the Senate passed the Paycheck Protection Program and Healthcare Enhancement Act, with additional funding for the Paycheck Protection Program, hospitals, and testing, a lot of money for all of them, especially for our workers and our small businesses. My administration has worked aggressively with Congress to negotiate this critical four hundred and eighty two billion dollars funding package. We reached a deal that includes three hundred and eighty two billion dollars and crucial small business support to keep workers on the payroll, seventy five billion dollars to aid hospitals which really need the aid and very badly, very proud of that, and twenty five billion dollars to support coronavirus testing efforts. I urged the House to pass the bill, and they're going to be votgoned, I imagine very very soon, I think while we're here. And so he's a very busy managed you know, Secret Terminuchin, he's going to be running back, so I thought would do We'll talk about that now and we'll take a couple of questions on that, and then he can go and start Phase four. As the ink is drank. Probably they'll be voting tomorrow in the House, but shortly, shortly, and I think we have tremendous support, So Steve, please come up safely. Words Steve, Yeah, Thank you, mister President, and thank you for all your work with us to get this passed. I'd especially like to thank Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer in the entire Senate for passing this. I'd also like to thank Kevin McCarthy and Nancy Pelosi who have been working with us around the clock as well, and our chief of staff, Mark Meadows, who was also very instrumental in this. Let me just comment, we've had tremendous support for the PPP. This gives us another three hundred and ten billion dollars for the PPP. We look forward to the House passing this tomorrow and being up and running quickly after that. This also gives US fifty billion dollars for disaster loans IDLE that will allow the SBA to make three hundred billion dollars of disaster loans, all for small businesses. Also allows us, as the President said, more money to hospitals and unprecedented amount of money for testing. And again, I think we understand hospitals, not only the hospitals that have been impacted by coronavirus, but more importantly many hospitals that have been shut down and making sure that the doctors and nurses get money. Now, let me make just one more comment on the program. We have over a million companies that have received this with less than ten workers, so there is very broad participation in really small business. I will comment there have been some big businesses that have taken these loans. I was pleased to see the shake Shack return to the money. We will be putting out some fa queues. There is a certification that people are making and I ask people just make sure the intent of this was business that needed the money. Will put out an fa q. But again the intent of this money was not for big public companies that have access to capital. The Harvard so you might say, so, so, mister secretary, are you going to request that those other companies. Obviously, Shakeshack was not a loan in being a big company that they got money in this are you're going to be You're gonna ask them to return that money. Yeah, Yeah, Harvard's going to pay back the money and they shouldn't be taking it. So Harvard's going to you have a number of I'm not going to make you any other names, but when I saw Harvard, they have a one of the largest endowments anywhere in the country, maybe in the world, I guess, and they're going to pay back that money. I just I just want to clarify because certain people on the PPP may have not been clear and understanding the certification. So we will give people the benefit of the doubt. We're going to put an fa Q out explain the certification. If you pay back the loan right away, you won't have liability to the SPA and to try. But there are severe consequences for people who don't attest properly this certification. And again, we want to make sure this money is available to small businesses that needed people who have invested their entire life savings. We appreciate what's going on, and they're hiring people back. How are you going to ensure that those small businesses, the small restaurants, cafes, bars, who did not get the money last time around, they're going to get at this time. Well, as I said, you know, there are a million a million of these companies that did get it that are very small. We're working with the banks were extremely placed that the small banks did great. Twenty percent of the loans were made by banks of a billion and less, sixty by twenty billion in less and the big banks also. We want everybody to participate. There's now a lot of money back in the program and we look forward to all these small businesses getting access to fund. Brett, It's great to see you here. Now you perspecting and you know estimate how long this is going to take. That other ton of money obviously went quickly to assume this is going to do quickly as well. Well, let me just say, I mean, you know, kind of we're pleased with the success of this program and how quickly this got up operationally. We've we've put out more money in these SBA loans than in the last ten years of SBA. So I want to thank all the banks that have worked really hard. We knew that when we passed this originally, if there was full take out, we wouldn't have enough money. That's why we've worked with Congress for more money. And this is gonna you know, we've already impacted about thirty million workers. Uh, there'll there'll be a lot more. So we look forward to this having a big impact on the economy. Yes, through the presence that we look into an issue of lens, those primal conditions getting access to some of these programs, even update on added, so we worked with the White House on this. There were actually much more onerous restrictions in the SBA program. There were people who had misdemeanors that that weren't allowed to access the program. It was much longer than five years. And you know, we very much because of the criminal reform legislation that was passed. In the work that's been done in the White House by Jared and others, we specifically designed the program and the five years was significantly shorter than what had been done before. So we had already taken that into ac For now, we're not going to do that, but I want to just emphasize we did take this into account. There were a lot of people that wouldn't have access previously, and we change those regulations. The President talked about a Phase four. I know we all understand the circumstances and why businesses need this, but how many more phases can we afford to have or can businesses expect to have? Do you see phase five, of Phase six, of phase seven? What's you're thinking on this? Well, first of all, I very much appreciate the President's support for Phase four. He put out a tweet as the President said we would look forward to Phase four would be infrastructure. The President's been talking about infrastructure since the campaign. Roads, bridges, broadband, especially broadband now to rural America's is very important. We've talked about incentives for restaurants, sports, entertainment because these businesses have been impacted. The President has talked multiple times about a payroll tax cut, and we've also we're talking about in the case of states, the states we've heard from the governors and the fiscal issues of the states. I think Phase four will most likely be what we need. I think based upon what we're seeing on the reopening of the economy and the amount of money we're putting in and working with the Federal Reserve on thirteen three, I think you're going to see a lot of liquidity, and we look forward to business rebounding, especially later this summer. Just real quick to follow up in the PPP program, is this the last trunch of money you think you're going to need for small businesses? Would expect
