The u. S. Has been the country was defeated by the corroded laughs the infection rates are skyrocketing relative to other countries around the world my guest this week from washington is the Republican National Party Spokesperson Elizabeth Carrington could President Trump and done far more than he did to stop this virus both of those improve. The lives of a parent of welcome to comfort zone thank you for having me you said on april the 19th of the president has moved with record speed to come out the ground a virus and bring relief to hard working americans. But theres been no record speed on testing for the virus has there despite all the false assurances that have come from the white house we have this from your own governor larry hogan from maryland who said the president s claim that states have enough tests to be open is just absolutely forbes why is the president putting up for sublimation. Well thats not true the president has put out and been very transparent in the information he provided in the taskforce briefing just yesterday he showed the 5000 different places locations across this country where testing is available and ready to be used by governors across or great nation and if you look at the speed at which President Trump has acted its spent on president and this is an amazing on president situation but every step of the way prison terms may hold early decisions where naysayers ridiculed him and accused him of being seen a fellow back the World Health Organization said it would only bring stigma and would save lives with travel restrictions well prison transport proven correct and as dr felt he has had numerous times those travel restrictions in the very beginning did it save lives and when it comes to testing right now we have 93 percent of americans are within 10 miles of a testing location thats it unprecedented cheeseman a very short amount of time when you think about what the c. D. C. Infrastructure had in place with a broken system that really just wouldnt have been feasible for any any type of virus that like this that were facing right now in the way weve been able to waive regulations get the private sector involved to have more capacity per capita more testing in the york city by 64 percent in south korea had thats it an amazing achievement and done in a matter of weeks thats very impressive so the governors like larry you know. The republican governors of my de wine from ohio for instance he says that states simply cant find the materials and religions to expand their testing capacity. Larry hogan himself absolutely false he says the president s claims of us. They dont know what theyre talking about is that its a lack of its a lack of communication on their part it is were talking about ramping up something thats unbelievable in a very quick amount of time and youre talking about china that was a net export or of p p e before this pandemic and then suddenly when they were hiding the truth from the world what did they do they became a net importer of people eat and have been hoarding that so it has been a challenge across the world to get the needed supplies and medical devices that we needed and if youve been watching the Task Force Briefings the task force has been explaining at the very beginning there was only one place to get swabs that we could use for tests and that was from a factory in northern italy where they had obviously issues of their own so it has ben there have been challenges along the way but the really unprecedented way to get the private sector involved the task force talked yesterday about a company that was making qtips is now changing what they do to make swaps to get states the resources they need and look by and large your history and has worked very well with these governors of both Political Parties and theyve really come together to deliver for the American People no one has gone without a ventilator that needed one we have the army corps of engineers building up hospitals 1200 beds in a matter of days beds that we thankfully not need in new york city so by and large this is then a phenomenal achievement all hands on deck working with the private sector to deliver the supplies that we need and it fast way where you say that much the sevens mr trump told the country tests were available to everyone anybody that needs a test gets a test theyre there they have the test and the tests a beautiful except that it was left to me found she had been. Director of the National Institute of allergy and Infectious Diseases to come clean how much the 12th and tell the nation what the president wouldnt tell us were still not providing adequate testing for the virus its failing he said lets admit it he said this to congress the idea of anybody getting testing easily the way people in other countries are doing and were not set up for that i think it should be but were not thats in direct contradiction to what youve been telling me is that no its not if you look you can go back in time to try to rewrite history with facts you have now with the facts at the time when he was at the c. D. C. In atlanta how many cases do we have in the United States a very low number so when youre talking about anyone who needed a test needed that was available and of course dr fouty has talked about this numerous times you know what the problem was with testing at the very outset was that government did not have the capability for a nationwide past that we had to go to the private sector and when we got the private sector involved that led us to become the world leader in testing so its very convenient for people to go back and rewrite history but the facts at the time in early march when we had a very limited number of cases we were able to test people send it to the c. D. C. And get those results that they guess what as the crisis changed as the problem adapted we adapted and we waived unnecessary onerous regulation that required states to send all of their testing to be testing at the c. D. C. That wasnt feasible but guess what that was what the regulations forced us to do by waiving that and by working with the f. D. A. And listening to what dr burke says said she spent a lifetime begun. And service shes never seen an administration be able to talk to the doctors and private companies on the front lines what they need and saying theres this roadblock because government is in the way with this regulation and this administration has stepped up and gotten those people on the front lines the Research Says they need to say that this isnt a question rewriting history this is recording what people said at the time and within 5 days in the each other and to me found to the director of the National Institute of allergy and Infectious Disease to something completely different from the president namely the testing is failing and thats in direct contradiction to what mr trump and said 5 days earlier were totally prepared it wasnt the u. S. Wasnt totally prepared for this was it you yourself admitted you werent prepared for it because you didnt know it was going to happen was germany prepared was anyone prepared was china prepared they and this is this is a ridiculous hindsight rewriting of history because the fact of the matter is when he was at the c. D. C. Meeting with the experts who were leading this response this is you asian changes a lot in 5 days you know that everyone knows that when you have cases all of a sudden doubling of course the situation changes but the fact remains weve taken a system that was not able to process the types of capabilities that we need and weve turned that around in a matter of weeks and its an impressive accomplishment in the u. S. Is now the world leader in testing and again lets quote dr foushee what did he say on friday testing is important but its not everything and so the media to rewrite history and now after they fail to get President Trump and say we dont have enough ventilators and hes you know being reckless by not giving new york city 30000. And when that was nowhere near what we needed now theyre saying testing testing testing we dont have enough well the fact remains testing is important we have the capability to reopen our country but what good does a test say today that youre negative and then tomorrow you contract the virus its just the media is using this to attack the president when its completely uncalled for and theyre completely rewriting history ideas of them team you have to have to find out you say tapping the president he said if you have a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier you could have saved lives but he noted there was a lot of pushback about shutting things. Thats thats really that is not yet guess what dr foushee clarified those comments because it was a gotcha question a hypothetical by c. N. N. Guess what he said the next day you are misinterpreting what i said of course a hypothetical of course you can go back and say if we would have done this or we would have done that you know what dr foushee set every step of the way when we recommended mitigation when President Trump said ok when when when so that is when President Trump acted said lets do 15 days to slow the spread thats one president from said ok lets do 30 more days to slow the spread so you are totally taking dr fallacy out of context its not accurate and he cleared this up for everyone to say and the media attacked him for it and the media said are you being forced to say thats really denigrating the integrity of dr fouty and i think its really irresponsible for people in the media to continue to try to use people who are working 24 hours a day on this to try to say they have that youll notice they have done an incredible job. All working together when the recommendations were presented to President Trump he took them and you know nancy pelosi what was she doing in february she was saying come to china town she wasnt taking this seriously oh she should have been in Congress Giving relief to americans and shes Still Holding it up so dont tell me that republicans and president trunk havent acted immediately and havent taken this seriously when we see delay after delay after delay for democrats in congress how helpful was it was with harrington to cut the funding for u. S. Public and stop operating inside china by 2 thirds reducing the numbers from 47 people in january 27th green 214529 thereby removing a substantial number of the vital eyes and ears installed in china could have told you this was breaking how can i know that china did not help us whatsoever so it wouldnt have really made a difference about who was making the ground they kicked out journalists they kicked out they disappeared doctors who were sounding the alarm they along with their allies in the corrupt World Health Organization hid the truth about the virus for over a month for 6 or 7 weeks and allowed for our people to travel outside of china when they restricted travel inside their own country its amazing that theyre trying to shift the blame to the United States of america when china because of their corruption because of their secrecy because of their to seat the entire world is suffering because of that lack of transparency and then lying in the World Health Organization saying youre looking anywhere 14 or so theres no human to human transmission of the virus that was at the sky. Sting law that has caused millions of people their lively. Funding for us public if its accurate i havent seen the specifics of that fact that democrats in the media have been falsely accusing the president of cutting the c. D. C. Budget and Everything Else and thats just not true so i havent seen those details and i would suspect that this is not accurate as well readiness and green but what would it do when chinas kicking out journalists in trying to time is not sharing the information with us so i know. How accurate this transition human you have an epidemiologist who is actually inside chinas own disease can troll agency and the funding for that was cut last year babies belief doesnt i dont think the funding was cut back just on that i dont think thats accurate. So when trump says i wish i could they could have told us earlier what was going on inside china. Because. Now i am did you are american scientists control which chinese labs are telling the world its just amazing that youre trying to blame america for something that china they are the ones who hid the truth about this virus and let it escape and unleashed around the world and its caused incredible amount of pain for out to sea United States but the entire world and its shameful and we need to get to the bottom of it and china needs to be open and honest about what exactly was going on because their lives have really caused just a tremendous Global Global economic. Plight. Of lives lost and its a direct result of a communist regime covering up their failures and not being honest with the world its certainly not a fault of america you said you didnt know this was going to happen the intelligence communities worldwide threat assessment in 2019 said we assess that the United States in the world will remain vulnerable to the next flu pandemic or large scale outbreak of a contagious disease that could lead to massive rates of death and disability and severely affect the World Economy turns out to be in pretty accurate doesnt it in 2018 you also closed the Global Health Security Office at the National Security council to use main job was to prepare for and prevent the kind of pandemic that we see now that is not true that is fast asked him morrison who had it that interagency in the National Security council asked him because he was in charge of that and just any he didnt close it they were working on this at the National Security council of course they were. Concerned about the potential problem but you know what was what was the other aspects of the Intelligence Community what were they what were they warning about in early january i tend to remember it was all about ukraine and pretending that ukraine up momentarily pausing a. T. U. Crane was our biggest National Security threat how laughable that was then and its certainly laughable now with the democrats d did wasting our time you know what adam should know trajan your talents. When adams shift even when he was still in the minority and represent daven nunez was trying to hold a hearing on the threat posed by china adam schiff hijacked those hearings to talk about russia so democrats its very rich that their leakers in the Intelligence Committee community who have been talking about ukraine and russia for months are suddenly now trying to rewrite the script and pretend they were actually warning about a coming pandemic it is laughable how your example it will serve as it was in the news in the 2019 threat assessment woods renaissance man. What was done about it in response to the worldwide threat assessment you know it was done from the truck signed an executive order for president transom an executive order last summer that incentivized government to buy American American to bring our core manufacturing so were not dependent on china for the supply chain so were not dependent for their medicines that is what the president has been working on since day one and of course that will put us in a better position and if anything that happens when we get to the other side of this awful pandemic what will happen is were going to continue to bring back that core manufacturing were going to continue to put america 1st and were going to meet the challenges ahead its ridiculous to try to rewrite. Mystery and pretend that the intel gets broken if that has been a leaking and a lot about President Trump using it talk about this information using descent from ation from fake russian sources to try to sabotage President Trump before he got into office and ever since theyre trying to rewrite the script now and say ok really no no i didnt see it actually said i dont think that the russians would be responsible for this hed he gave them a clean bill of health didnt he said he believed president putin. Looked into his eyes he believed what he said when denied any involvement in hacking into americans is to jump believed to be given a free pass. Either democrats in the media are giving themselves a free pass for literally publishing russian descent from a nation for over 3 years because guess what Hillary Clintons dot ca was a bunch of lies they knew it was a bunch of lies and guess oh they didnt care they leaked it anyway try to legitimize a false narrative against the president making russia way more impressive than they clearly are this is hysterical narrative that can collusion that was always r r i and its really its really disgusting that now after wasting 3 years of Media Attention and that endless investigations taxpayer harder taxpayer dollars on this madness now theyre trying to say oh we actually were warning about a pandemic give me a break apps if didnt hold any hearings on china which everyone knew was the actual real threat not russia and im struggling Company Administration just perfect and it made any mistakes it will never never apologize its all perfect is it this is what you. Look at you look at the results you look at. The results and you look at the middle stave me they have adapted theyve made the best decisions possible with the information at the time and it has put us in an incredible position much better than many other countries in the rest of the war he calls it president Charles Steger 2000 confirmed cases about 4 times more than the next night is number one i guess you believe chinas numbers to write you love communist chinas regime that is clearly suppressing the chickens from the u. S. And its chinese its communist chinese propaganda their numbers and they want the world to blame america for their own pandemic that they unleashed on the world so youre doing the work of communists in china but please go on to use their numbers more more people dont believe the president anymore and what he said about the ground of ours today latest n. B. C. Wall street journal poll only 36 percent of respondents in the bowl so they generally trust what trump has said 52 percent say they dont trust him so youre not winning the trust battle i bet when this really resent your job and lost their jobs millions around the lock down the your claim youre going to politicize it and say that its President Trumps far for saying so which is it really gives the economy or should we not shut down the economy did he actually slow busy racist or art didnt ask early just that it does no matter what i say your 2nd untrapped is just the worst person that ever lived so give me a break and anything i think great youre probably whining that weve done that its our fault how are we this regime on least a pandemic there cover up at least a pandemic on the world that the entire world including germany is having to clean up so President Trump has done an amazing job dealing with this and youre going to try used hurting jobless americans against him in there its january he was cheerleading for the chinese he said john has been working very hard to contain the virus the u. S. Greatly appreciate their efforts and transparency yet china was lying to us at the time. Yeah and it was also obamas fault that you didnt have a test is that right. Well it was certainly it was certainly obama in bidens thought that the stockpile of end 95 masks were depleted would you agree with that. Up to me to agree or disagree with the militias many times he did her rigid a broken down i think leaves all those facts and its convenient that the obama biden illustration which is as you claim everyone knew this pandemic was coming why did they leave us completely empty with the stockpiles of mass and other critical supplies they knew that 2000 not theres a hearing with then secretary of health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius where she acknowledged that the stockpiles for empty she acknowledged that all of her medical supplies were empty back 8 years and they never did a single thing to refill that stockpile so our question is a problem and present health care its a failure of government bureaucracies an onerous rep regulations that got that got in the way for far too long President Trump wisely as a unleashed the private sector got rid of these owners regulations working in conjunction with the f. D. A. With the c. D. C. To get americans their resources they need its been and it is then an incredible achievement and you know i mean quarterback everything you want but the fact remains President Trump is up there every single day answering every single question being transparent unlike the communists in china being honest in our and their own military and took it for themselves to leave it there thank you very much for being complete.
