The president is expected to carry out his duties without disruption while recovering. They point out that trumps diagnosis will have a destabilizing effect in washington, raising questions how far the virus has spread through the highest levels of the u. S. Government.

He is an animal. Host upstate new york on the republican line. Caller thank you for having me. I am not worried at all. I think it is ok to be calm.

Ve 70, it i think we will be ok. We will get through this. A littleht be out for bit, i understand that, but i am calm. Host mark is calling from milwaukee, one state the president was supposed to be visiting this weekend. What you think about all of this . Caller i am glad he is not visiting. I do not wish it upon anyone but the way i look at things lately is the republicans are selfcentered and do not care about anyone else and that is why they do not wear a mask. There will be a lot of people on the staff that will be infected and that debate, i do hope the bidens do not get it. It is sad. Host kathleen is calling from texas on the independent line. Good morning. Caller good morning. I wanted to say that President Trump and his beautiful wife, i pray to god in jesus name that he will heal them now. And that President Trump will find out why it got so close to him and everybody put the blame on him. Right after the outbreak. Joe biden went to china, how many times . He came right back to the white house. Accumulate and accumulate and accumulate, you can put the blame on the president. Did you understand how far these democrats will go to hang him and put him out of office and turn this country into war . Did you understand the magnitude close someone to get that to our president of the United States, the highest power, other than god almighty on this United States grounds. Host thank you for calling. More calls in a moment. The video we just saw of the president was at the last rally he held in minnesota. He was supposed to be in florida tonight and then wisconsin, and then out west early next week. The immediate schedule has been scrapped we know a 14 day quarantine period brings us beyond the date of the next president ial debate, october 15, so we will see what happens. Lots of news to come in the hours ahead. Here is one of the last things we heard from the president before we learned about the diagnosis. This happened at the annual Al Smith Dinner took place in new york, a virtual event. The president and former Vice President joe biden we are not quite sure when the president taped his remarks but here is what he had to say at last nights dinner about covid19. [video clip] pres. Trump our country and the entire world has been struck by a onceinalifetime global pandemic. China should not have let it happen but it did. On the virus came in from china, we saw new yorkers respond with selflessness and that have always defined this city that we love so much. Doctors and nurses worked aroundtheclock. Pd,heroes of the new york they are great. New yorks finest. The fdny, they are the bravest. I know them all very well. Other First Responders risked their lives to save others. The Catholic Community answer the call and, frankly, answered it like nobody else could. In catholic schools, hospitals, shelters, you served with supreme devotion to your fellow citizens. The alford Smith Memorial foundation made a historic 8 million gift to support the families of new york. Thank you. You showed the world the essence of the catholic faith. I lived right next to a magnificent catholic church. As jesus christ said in the gospel, everyone will know you are my disciples if you love one another. I want to thank the Catholic Community for the generosity you showed in americas hour of need. In the memories of the lost, we will defeat the virus through advances in treatment, we have reduced the fatality rate by 85 since april. We are on track to develop and distribute a vaccine before the end of the year and maybe substantially before. I want to say that the end of the pandemic is insight next year will be one of the greatest years in the history of our country. Host that was the president last night in a taped address. We are not sure when it was taped. The event was put together by the archdiocese of new york. The wall street journal reminds us of his announcement on twitter came hours after the confirmation that a top advisor that traveled with him earlier this week tested positive for the virus. We first heard about hope hicks and then we heard about the president and the first lady and that midnight hour, eastern time. We have larry on the line from maryland. Caller good. The he is calling on republican line, by the way. Caller the president will recover. There was a radio personality earlier that said they are glad it shows you what is in the heart of people. He will be in a 14 day quarantine and we are going through a trial with this chinese virus, but he will win and he has a role to play. Those who are gleeful will be upset because he will have a second term. Host here is a text from california will the president finally take covid seriously and stop is dangerous rallies . Michael in portland, oregon says i pray the president and the first lady recover quickly with no longlasting effects. I hope we drop our party antagonism and give prayers to the stricken couple. We have darrell from frederick, maryland on the democrat line. Good morning. Caller good morning and thank you. I am a democrat, registered, and i am praying for the president and the first lady. We need to come together because none of us are beyond the humbling hand of god, beyond 45. I am praying in jesus named that he be healed quickly and brought back to reality mentally and socially. We need to come together. Differences, but first of all, President Trump is a human being, and so is his wife. We need to stop and really come together. It is devastating. I just pray that the election will go well, that we as human beings will come together and do what is best or this country. I do not wish covid on no one. That is the comment i would like to make. Host georgia on the independent line, good morning. Your reaction . Caller good morning. I just want to put a different angle on this. I was listening to quite a few things that his nieces had to say concerning he would do almost anything to win this election. I am starting to wonder if this could be a hoax, that he has not tested positive and he comes out in a few days and all of the sudden tests clean for a few days and will quit his quarantine, to get the attention off the comments from tuesday night concerning his not denouncing white supremacists. Host explain your thinking. What makes you think the way you think based on what you said . Caller his nieces said he would do almost anything to divert attention to to him and do anything to win the election. The thing with the post office going on, and all of the republican states trying to find ways to make it more difficult for people to vote by mail, etc. All of this negative news about him, i just would not put it past him. This is not an announcement from the white house come this is a leak. For 24 hours, they did not contact tracer or tell anyone about it. In a way, i hope it is because i dont want anyone to be sick from it. Host danny, republican, arlington, thank you for calling. Caller thank you for taking my call. I would like to comment on what beth, who just called come would like to chime in on what she said. She said this could be a distraction from tuesdays refusal from trump to denounce white supremacists. I think that is ridiculous, he has done that 20 times, looked at up. If you watch cnn, you wont see that. He has done it plenty of times. Anyways, i was not really surprised to see him get covid this morning. I am a big supporter. He goes all over the country, he has been putting himself out there. I think he is a very strong man, being an older gentleman in his 70s, i do not think you will have any issues beating this. To put a different angle on this, if he does beat coronavirus without any issues, i think it shines a brighter light that the coronavirus is not is dangerous as it has been touted. The mortality rate is artificially inflated. People who have passed in Nursing Homes because they have not been cared enough for, those have been termed coronavirus deaths. 99. 5 for most people. Host thank you for calling, as well. We have phil in miami sending a text. I am a democrat but i do not wish the president ill health. Get well soon, sir. Bill from connecticut says he will be fine. It will show how survivable this virus is spread Boris Johnson, showed this,lso again, in public in dramatic terms. One caller pointed out, the Prime Minister suffered from the disease as well. [video clip] johnson we yourself but other people. Show s dont just do anything to try to win the election. I am a democrat, i dont put ill on anybody, i hope they will be ok. We go to the store every day, we have to put our masks on. Sometimes i have to go back to the house to get my mask. I was going to mcdonalds the other day and had to go back to my vehicle to get my mask. Show respect and stop playing games with our lives. Thank you, sir. Have a great day. City,flushing, new york independent caller. Caller good morning. We newtrump has been yorkers, we know what trump did to our city. Him, heic is blaming will fight it like anybody. Millions who has contracted the virus and we hope he recovers. He is still doing his job. We are fighting for him. Dont blame trump. Is absolutely it can be anything, what happened to him. To rally are going behind him. This might even help him in the reelection because anyone wishing ill will to this man will be punished in the polling. I am from queens, new york. Thank you, sir. Host thank you for calling in. Many members of congress tweeting about the president. Our president s top duty is as of commander and chief, especially with our nuclear forces. Looking forward to assuring the country and our allies while putting our adversaries on notice that this is not the time to mess with the u. S. , get better soon, president. Ladyresident and the first have a serious, deadly virus we should all hope for a full recovery. Our healing prayers are with the president and the first lady. Unfortunately, potusexperience with covid may help determine if he changes his outlook on covid. Will he continue to mock those who wear a mask . Will he continue to say, it is what it is or downplay the danger . For his sake and that of our country, she said i hope not. National testing, tracing and treatment. Representative, sending thoughts and prayers to our president and our beloved first lady, who are no doubt facing this with faith and courage. Praying for a speedy recovery. President atat the the last rally he held in minnesota. He was supposed to be in florida tonight. That is not going to happen. We have robert from kentucky, republican caller. Caller how are you doing this morning . The people here are sending our wishes to donald trump and his wife, melania. Good things should be said about the president today. 1200 that youhe did help the people. People have called in and said, you need to help the people, people need to help the president , also. The man is a good man. Best andish him the get back to washington, mr. Trump. Host massachusetts on the democrat line, hey, mary. Caller a thought went through my mind this morning. I was listening to the television most of the night and i heard the announcement. Doctor didme that a not declare him a victim of the coronavirus. I heard his voice. I think that is kind of odd. To wrap it up, i am very suspicious about this. They would do this if they thought they could get away from it. I heard last night, his numbers were tumbling because of his terrible performance the other falling right to the ground. The committee, the islature in pennsylvania one of their members, and also aamerican, who is republican. Cast suspiciono on the election come already. The legislature in pennsylvania will start investigating the election already. And then this comes up. I think this is very fishy. Somebodyike to hear that i trust say, yes, they do have the coronavirus, they are being treated for it. Until i see somebody like dr. Fauci come forward and say this is true, i am extremely skeptical. I just dont believe it. Host ok, mary. Mary mentioning dr. Fauci, he will be on this program this coming sunday. Washington journal starts at 7 00 and dr. Fauci will be a guest on sunday. The health and Human Services secretary is set to testify this morning on cspan2, 9 00 a. M. Eastern time. Azar to provide a full update on what the administration is doing about covid at this point. Congress, half in, half out. The senate is out and will be back next week. The house is expected back in at 9 00 a. M. Eastern time, that is why this program will be two hours rather than the normal three. As you know, the him and trying to negotiate a brandnew covid bill. Lets get a call from westminster, massachusetts, independent. Go ahead, please. Caller how are you . Host how are you, sir . Caller i am well, thanks. I have not seen you before . What is your name. Host i am paul. Bluer i love your eyes. I would love to see god bless President Trump and melania trump. America is the fourth reich. White power. Caller thank you for taking my call. I have heard people calling in with their negative comments. Politics need to put aside. We need to quit questioning if donald trump and his wife have the virus. Questiont it, we might if you are telling the truth. Second of all, we need to be careful what we say. Youan come back and hit right in the face. We actually today, we are lrobably seeing some ill wil comments from the left. If they do, they are the ones we need to be praying for. We should be praying for our president , we should be praying for our whole nation. Ont know anyone anyone who could stand up under the things we have seen our president stand up under. He has broad shoulders because i will tell you right now, i dont think anyone else in politics could stand up against what he has stood up against, and i pray every day for him and his family, and everyone around him. This morning, when you call in with your negative comments, you think about how you would feel if it was you, if the shoe was on the other foot, think about how you would feel. Thank you and have a blessed day and god bless our president. Host at politico. Com, they write this announcement threatens to transform the final month of Auto Campaign the trump had one to frame as a message around defeating the virus despite surging case counts around the country and widespread division about the seriousness of the threat. They go on to write that trumps announcement raise questions about his existing health conditions, he was listed as just over the line of overweight and obese, he could develop serious consecration from the virus. The president remains in very good health overall, with a cholesterol level and Blood Pressure within normal ranges. He does take medication for prior issues with high cholesterol. Earlier this year, Political Rights trump was closely monitored for developing a new irregular heartbeat while taking hydroxychloroquine despite no conclusive evidence as a possible treatment for the virus. They talk about melania trump, who is 50, also falling in an age range of possible complications. The virus can have a different impact on different people from mild symptoms to devastating breathing problems. We will continue to take your calls for the next 90 minutes on the news that the president and the first lady have tested positive for the coronavirus. We have lydia in danville, virginia on the democrat line. Caller good morning, how are you . First of all, i called to say scientists won. It was no longer than tuesday that the president was making fun of joe biden for wearing a mask. Now that we all i pray for everyone, i pray for the nation, it is not just the left or the right side, i pray we all can come together and i pray more about the virus instead of powerng about this white and all this other nonsense. Come together, that is what we need to do is come together. Overcomeay that we can all of this. He is not the first there are many other people that have the virus. They have dealt with it, now he will deal with it. That is all i have to say. Host thank you. Speaking of the virus around the country, the New York Times has a map about current hotspots in the u. S. You can read the map by looking for the darker colors, the dark colors indicate the recent hotspots. A lot is happening in the state of wisconsin. That stretch mainly runs to the south in that central part of the country. And texas and louisiana. The current hotspot is wisconsin, and places around there. Map incan see on this the New York Times. Angie is calling from south carolina, good morning. Caller good morning. Thatld like to suggest trumps tweet is highly, probably a hoax. Tweetsost everything he and he says is very untruthful. Deflection it is a from the problems he had at the debate with white supremacy. It is also an excuse not to participate in the next two debates, or at least the next one. Host the president s tweet, he sent it at 12 54 a. M. Eastern time. Flotus and i test apostate for covid19. We will quarantine immediately. We will get through this together. As we are talking about this morning, rallies and other Public Events are off. He is in a 14 day quarantine. We will see how that affects the president ial race. The next debate was scheduled for october 15 in florida. Affectssee how this both schedules. Stageand biden on the together in cleveland earlier this week. From joe biden this morning, we will let you know what he has to say. Host ellen, what you have to say in florida this morning . Caller i believe this is all a big hoax. Horrible, the most person in the whole world, he personally set this up. He had a bad day at his debate and he does not want to go through it again. He should never be president. Shame to the United States. Host kentucky, independent caller. Hello, brad. Caller good morning. I have a different angle on this. It is something concerning. Trump set i have a lot of enemies out there. This might be the last time you see me for a while. A lot of rich enemies, they are not happy with what i am doing. That was a very strange statement for him to make it, the president saying he has enemies and might not be seen for a while. , ii understand quarantine dont really see how someone could do it at hearing dogmatically to what is required without being seen. Technically quarantining, he and his wife will have to stay away from everyone and i imagine that would be the american public. Just one moment, if you will bear with me, he made that statement on august 7. Some things that might line up with this, on august 12, a helicopter was shot over virginia, it is in the u. S. News, it was part of the first helicopter squadron. The u. S. News article said it was a helicopter used to support the movement of the president. This ella copter was shot and a crew member was injured this helicopter was shot and a crew member was injured. On august 18, air force one had a dangerous run in with a drone, that was widely reported and seemed crazy to me, the fact a drone that was an interesting story. Host why dont you go ahead and wrap it up. Caller i will, thank you very much. On august 10, that was the white house shooting, when the gunman was shot by police. He was shot outside the white house, trump had to leave the press conference. Was sentber 22, poison to the white house. I wish there were reporters out there who could look into this because these events all seem strange and the president set a couple months ago he might not be seen for a while and he has enemies. This is not good. West chester, ohio, republican, good morning. Caller good morning. I am a retired microbiologist. There are a few things i would like to bring people some additional information. The president has a tremendous advantage based on his personal lifestyle. He made the choice not to smoke, drink or do drugs. All of those things are critical to your immune system. Sweeps paralyzes what the mucus out. Mucus is the perfect environment for a bacterial or viral infection. Alcohol suppresses white blood cells. When you have a viral infection or bacterial infection, these components go out and surround it and then your immune system produces a fluid that sends it out of your body. What concerns me is the fact that we are not actually talking to the scientists, i am a scientist, and we are not getting basic information. Zincnstance, vitamin d and are important. To our dear africanamerican citizens, your heritage is proud, where the sun is intense. Intense in the United States. If your ancestors were born near to the equator, you needed dark idin to protect the folic ac levels in your body so you could produce healthy offspring. All of this talk about our skin colors, it is so sad. We have science that can direct us. Instead of reaching for alcohol alcohol sales are through the roof. If our scientists were very helpful in directing better lifestyle choices for us for health, our immune systems would be in better shape. Actually, people who are overweight are malnourished, because your brain is sending a signal that is saying i am not getting the right nutrition, need to eat more. Host thank you for your input. We have marshall in beltsville, maryland, democrat line. It comes from karma because what goes around comes around. I am wonder what the president is thinking now about how things are, because he never took this coronavirus pandemic seriously biden theffed at other night about wearing a mask and laughing at him. He is not taking things seriously, so i guess he is taking it seriously now. How sick do we know the president really is . The white house will only disclose so much information. Who knows how long hope hicks has had the virus. All it is is karma. Host we will wait through the day for any briefings from the white house from doctors or anybody else. If they do happen, we will show them to you live on the cspan networks. We are taking your calls on the president and the first lady having contracted covid19. The news broke just before 1 00 a. M. Eastern time. We have been hearing from members of congress and international leaders. The New York Times had this story, trump tests positive and the world shutters. The news of the american president contracting a potentially lethal virus carries global repercussions. We heard from Boris Johnson a couple minutes ago. Potent, hopingr here is vladimir putin. Yourded, i am certain in vitality, good spirits and optimism help you cope with this dangerous virus. It was a grim reminder of a virus that did not distinguish between rich and poor, weak and powerful. It was tweeted that nobody is immune from covid19. We are going to get a call from terry, woodbridge, republican. Caller my first comment is to the president and the first lady i wish them the best and get well fast and i pray for them every day. I am sure he will. We have learned so much more about this virus that if they do not show any symptoms, they will be quarantining maybe 10 days. Within 24ow negative , hes, two negative tests will be out even sooner. Dr. Fauci, i watched him on the capitol and hearings, he should be removed. He is now a politician, a democrat, because he flipflops to the public. The president does, but he is not a doctor. Do you hear all of the nasty remarks from the public . This is what the media, the democrats, and some republicans have done to our country. You people ought to be ashamed of yourselves. You should be helping the president gets better. You are so ungrateful, he works so hard, this country has came up so far from went obama was in office. I did not like the guy, but i never wished or hoped he would be hurt or sick like this. The guy with the drone, the helicopter, this is a nut. I want everyone to listen to themselves, have more respect. He is a person. Have respect for the white house. You hear the nasty remarks from at democrats, the lawmakers the beginning of the tweet, why cant they keep their negative remarks to themselves . It would not surprise me to see people out in the street dancing that he got the coronavirus. Live in at want to capitalist country, worry about yourself and do the best for yourself, get the hell out of the country. That is all i have to say. Host thank you for calling. We will get you more of your calls, coming up in a couple minutes. We will do this for well over an hour before the house comes into session. Democraticassed a version of a new stimulus package by a thin margin. Here is one of the headlines following that vote, u. S. Stimulus talks in limbo after vote on democrat only plan. This is a bloomberg piece. He joins us by phone. Where do things stand now following the house action last night . Stimulus said the talks are on life support, it is pretty much accurate. This has been going on for monthss. There was a breakdown in talks between nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, the white house and Steve Mnuchin august 7. They resumed last week and we see the sides somewhat closer, Steve Mnuchin made what republicans call a generous offer of 1. 6 trillion. The democrats have been looking for 2. 2 trillion. The gap is narrowing. As any big piece of legislation has, there are many differences underneath the overall top line headline number, from Liability Protection for businesses, tax breaks for real estate, tax on testing andng health care. They are going through all of that. We caught up with nancy pelosi after she made a speech on the floor for the democrat only bill, she said they are trading paper, there are written offers going back and forth, but they are not close to sealing a deal. And with the president having covid, we are not sure how disruptive that will be. Host remind us of the purpose of the house vote last night. This is a democrat only plan. If these other negotiations are happening, why would this come up . Guest the idea voting for a smaller heroes act, the house might pass a 3. 4 trillion plan that was dismissed by republicans as being a liberal wish list. It looked into taking care of local governments for years. There was a sense that that was just way too high, way too off of the 1 trillion level the white house was talking about. A lot of moderates came to pelosi and said lets trimmed this down and make another offer, show everyone we are serious about coming down. He said publicly you would go letso 2. 2 trillion, vote on that and demonstrate what is in there. It added some clarity. It filled out what exactly would be funded under that top line level, which had been vague. This could be a point of negotiation. As far as voting on it at that point, it became a bit of a dispute. He sought 18 democrats vote against that bill, almost all are in swing districts. They said voting on it at this point for the much alienates republicans. Most wanted to vote because if a deal falls through, they can go home and campaign and say we tried. Host we have talked about the house and the white house, we have not talked about the senate, especially Senate Republicans. Where are Senate Republicans on an updated stimulus bill . Guest Senate Republicans have been divided on this from may onward. Mitch mcconnell put a pause on doing another round of virus stimulus. Viewers will remember congress did pass several bills in the spring and there was a sense there might be a v shape recovery. There was already a deficit. 20 of his own members would not vote for a 1 trillion bill, that puts them in a weak position. He came up with one between 300 billion and 650 billion, and that had all republicans on board except for rand paul. He is working hand in glove with administration, making it clear his members cannot support 2 trillion. They could possibly support something closer to 1. 5 trillion, depending on what is in it. He is working behind the scenes but is not actually in the talks part he gave comments to reporters yesterday, saying i wish them well. He is a major player in town and he is talking like an onlooker. Wasson of bloomberg, we know talks will continue in some form. What are you looking for in the days ahead . Guest we really want to see more detail about the offers going back and forth. Is pelosi willing to come down off of 2 trillion . For republicans, that is a key number. One thing a lot of budget experts say, are there ways to cancel unspent Federal Reserve loan authority, call back unused Paycheck Protection Program funds, are there ways to pay for this . If you can put that in there, that sometimes can seal the deal in d. C. , both sides consider this bill is my amount, but if you look at it, it has these spending cuts elsewhere. Ifget experts i spoke to say they are serious about a deal, there are technical ways they can bridge the gap. Host thank you for the update on congressional action. Appreciate it. Guest thank you so much. Host some related headlines, here is the washington post, new layoffs further stress the u. S. Economy. One of their lead items. Recovery could be reversed. Wall street journal lead story, layoffs flow, u. S. Recovery, waiting on jobless figures to come out and about 40 minutes or so, we will let you know what those numbers are. The last numbers we expect to see before the election. Following the news of the president s diagnosis with covid19, you can see a lot of red here, all of the market futures are down, beginning with the dow down 400plus points heading into the open in about 90 minutes or so. Back to your calls on the news about the president and the first lady testing positive for covid19. Brenda, houston, texas, democrat, thank you for waiting. Caller thank you for taking my call, paul, it has been a long time since i have spoken to you. Host good to have you back. Caller i am happy to see you back on. You are definitely one of my favorites. I am not going to be very pleasant. I first want to say, to that caller from illinois, a republican scolding democrats about keeping our negative remarks to ourselves and leaving the country. Well, this president has been nothing but negative. To your question i believe it is a hoax, just like he said when this virus first came about and was acknowledged publicly, he said that it was a democrat hoax. He lied, and at the same time, he was talking to woodward, saying how bad it was. What is wrong with these followers of his . He is a miserable, failed president , and a miserable, failed human being. Weaknk he is a liar, he is , i do not believe one i dont believe anything about it. I think they put their little friend up that gave it to them. He does not have it. He was a complete failure at that debate the other night. There was a fallout from it and he is trying to save face. I want him to come back into the debate. Of course, we will have to shut down his mic. I do not want him to die. Oh, no, no, no, no. I want him to face charges when he gets out of the white house. An example needs to be made of him so nobody thinks they can t,me here and be and autocra or whatever you want to call these people who want to rule people unfairly, i want him to face charges print he should be made an example of have a nice day. Caller have a nice day. Host joanne calling from the independent line. Believei do not anything they are saying about trump. I do not believe he has covid, nor his wife peered they are making all of this nor his wife. They are making this up because he does not want to debate with biden. I do not believe this. This is a hoax, what he always says. Stephen garcia says it does not matter where you stand in the aisle, please wear your masks. That is a text this morning. A virginia viewer writes trump is faking the virus. The first lady would never be involved in faking during the virus. You should be concerned your fragile joe biden right have gotten the virus. Be careful what you wish for, another viewer writes. Not be president might capable of signing a stimulus bill. A text for michigan, i hope everything works out well for them. Despite the politics, i do not want anyone to suffer from this disease. Mask, distance, get tested, Pay Attention to what is happening. Hot springs National Park in arkansas, republican, hello there. Caller good morning. I am a republican. Foremost, i look at this as these people are human. When everybody comes in and severely, mouthing so you really, really need to watch what you say and how you present yourself. Justave several democrats, because you see them on tv with that mask, do not fool yourself, do not think they are wearing it all the time. If biden comes down with that, due to the fact he is getting dementia, he will be in worse shape than anyone. Matter what you are, people to other human beings. This is a man who ran for president , he won. The way i look at it, if you do not like how he is running the country, i know a lot of people bags,his wrong, pack your move to another country, and see what it is like living there. Ofyou have any kind religion, you dont wish any bad on other people. Let me tell you something, that will is a bitch and it kick you in the butt. His wife is not stupid enough to go along with some big plan. Neither is our president.
