Scientists, task force member, zuckerman Carson Ben Carson on that. President trump find law 8. 3 billion package to address the Economic Impacts of coronavirus among others. Kevin mccarthy drones week live to talk about that in this weeks markup, they are about to expire. The fallout from coronavirus is all too much for chinese president xi jinping. General get the highest civilian honor ever from the president this week. All that and a lot more as we look ahead right now on sunday morning futures. Will begin this sunday morning with the latest on coronavirus. There are more than 400 confirmed cases of the virus now. Nineteen deaths in the United States. Eightynine of those confirmed cases are in new york state. Governor andrew cuomo had declared state of emergency due to the virus. He joins me now. Its a pleasure to see you. Its a pleasure to be with you. Good to be with you. Maria tell me about the state of emergency. Why declared . What does it mean for us . What we need to understand . It sounds more alarming than it is. It is actually an administrative active so the state can move a little faster governmentally. We need to purchase supplies, equipment, we need to hire staff. The state has some flexibility in its operations, want to declare a state of emergency. Especially these times, it sounds more alarming than it actually is. Maria okay, i would know you want to make sure people stay calm and you dont want a lot of panic on top of everything we are hearing and seeing, are you expecting it to get a lot worse . The number of cases spiking in the last day . I know its probably because we are running getting testing but how severe is it going to get . Its important that we communicate clearly. I dont want people to stay calm. Therefore, im telling them what i need to tell them to keep them calm. If they know the facts, they will be called. Yes, we are testing aggressively. He was a number of tests with positive test going up. Yes, a large number of people will be infected. We are really trying to do here is avoid the massive disruption of Closing Everything down for two weeks the way china did in the way italy is doing. We are trying to protect the vulnerable populations for whom this coronavirus could really be dangerous. Senior citizens, immunocompromised. Thats what we are trying to do. We are not dealing with ebola virus. We are not dealing with sars. You have to keep in perspective, if i get coronavirus, what is going to happen to me . Thats what people want to know . Its like a bad flu, unless you are in the vulnerable populations, he will most likely get sick and then he will recover but we want to try to contain it because we dont want to go to these massive quarantined that you are seeing in other countries and we dont want to expose our vulnerable populations. Maria let me ask you about mass transit because already we have seen amtrak announced that it is charting found until may. Are you planning on shutting down mass transit . Look, what we do here is we calibrate to the facts as we know them appetite. As the facts change, you change your strategy. At this time, theres no reason to close down mass transit. We havent had, we have big numbers in new york, exactly westchester. Where you have a cluster of cases and once you get that cluster, they tend to exponentially increase. We have a relatively minor number so far. Maria hume imagine as many as 70 cases in westchester. Many think that one individual who got a through community transmission. Tell us about that case and he commuted on metronorth. Its an obvious question. If you got on metronorth, if theres community transmission, how vulnerable is Public Transit . You would have known by now because the manifestation. His about a couple of weeks so if people had gotten next to him in that situation, you would be seeing the cases. Now, westchester is interesting, we are keeping an eye on it because it was one individual who then attended a number of large gatherings. Thats where you are seeing this spread. As we have to keep in mind. If these large gatherings where you can expose a number of people in a very short period of time and then its like dominoes. The tree continues to expand with branches. Thats what we are seeing in westchester. We are up to about 70 cases in westchester now. New york city, we only have 11. Really see what can happen with those large gatherings and for cluster and thats what we have to focus on. Maria thats right amtrak suspended service. It was the service between d. C. And new york that they are not going to start up again until may. Let me ask you about the testing. Are we starting the testing now . Weve known this know for about two months. I know there was an issue with the cdc sending the state test and saint wait, dont take the test yet. Do you have effective test now . Are you limited on the number of tests you have . Testing is limited and this is, i think, one of the main issues we have both in reality and in perception. When you wonder why people are so anxious and the fear, its because the information they are getting tends to change in their getting mixed messages. Probably the single most important thing we can do now is testing. It hasnt been done well. I believe the cdc was caught flatfooted. We knew this was coming, we were watching china. You would have to be in denial if you didnt think what was happening in china was going to wind up here. Cdc was not ready when it started. Number two, cdc handcuffed the states. I needed their approval to do my own testing. We have very sophisticated labs in this state. They didnt approve the new york labs to test for a period of time. It then are even larger and now we dont have the ability to manage the flow in our state lab. We want to use private labs who can do automated testing, exponentially increases the number of tests. We cant get cdc to approve the automated testing. Then to compound this issue, their messages are all over the place. If the president of the United States stands up and says anybody who wants a test, have the test. The Vice President said we dont have the capacity to test. We dont have the capacity to test. We cant say to people in this country or this state anyone who wants a test can have a test. Its just not true. Thats what causes the panic and fear and you are off to the races but we did hear in new york, we have a protocol. I cant test everyone. We will prioritize testing. You cant bring more people in the front door and you can let out the back door. You cant invite more people for a test then you can perform tests. So we have a statewide protocol because we dont want people shopping from place to place. I want some of them on long island, driving to manhattan or westchester, one statewide protocol calibrate the who should be tested with how many tests we can do. The cdc has to allow private labs to come in, has to allow automated testing because we dont have the testing capacity. Maria its really a fiasco around the testing kits. This past week, we saw two schools close. They are apparently going to be opening monday. Are you worried about schools . Are you expected for more School Closing . Children may be carriers, they may not have symptoms, we may not have had numbers and young people but what about children being carriers the idea that more schools were closed . Again, it is calibration to the facts you have at that time. If we close schools, we will. We have closed schools, we just closed Additional Schools for a longer period of time in westchester county. Some have clothes on their own. During the normal flu season, you have some schools that close to disinfect. But we have closed schools, we will close more as the facts a demand. Maria what is this going to do to the economy of new york . Obviously theres going to be an Economic Impact as companies are unable to sell products because many of those products are made in china, the parts and components are made in china. This conference is being closed, left and right. What kind of an Economic Impact are you expecting in new york this year . Thats a very good question. We are worried about it for figure, the Financial Markets are very important to new york. I think its going to be a national issue. I think it depends on how well we do containment and what this testing is all about. Find the positives, quarantined the positives. Contain it the best you can. If you have to do a massive close down like china and italy, thats going to hurt this nations economy. Itll hurt the state but its going to be national phenomenon. Thats why we have to get this testing done quickly and we have to be successful in containment. Otherwise, you have massive closings, which will hurt the economy. Again will put the vulnerable populations at risk. Maria even as the healthcare workers on the front line, we have enough beds in hospitals . Do you need to look toward the military to create more clinics and hospitals . Its already a stressed healthcare situation, we are getting a number of the active ingredients in our prescription drugs like antibiotics from china. Thats also going to expect, we expect shortages there. What about our hospital workers . What are you doing . What is the plan to keep them safe . We are working on contingency plans across the board. We do have the medical capacity, we have the number of beds we need, we will have medical capacity. Again, why we are doing this, we dont have to do drastic measures. You dont want to do a fast quarantine. Its the vulnerable population. Look at the numbers, 100 we have a handful that are in hospitals. Johns hopkins has traced 100,000 cases. People get sick, people recover unless theyre in vulnerable populations, so we have to keep that in focus because, worse than the virus right now, maria, is the fear pandemic. Maria yeah. People are afraid. They dont know who to believe. Theyre not trusting their government. Theyre getting different messages. The fear is more dangerous that the virus. Maria what can the public do, do you do you have confidence that you are working with this administration to do everything you can . I know youve had issues, youre in negotiations right now with the administration in terms of opening up your dmv data. New yorks the only state that wont let the feds see the dmv data, and a lot of new yorkers are in jeopardy of losing their trusted travelers program. Where are you on that, sir . Yeah. I dont want to, i dont want to disagree with you so early on a sunday morning. On this issue ten astronauts ten states allow undocumented people to get drivers licenses. This state allowed before 9 11, why . Because the state has a vested interest in making sure the people who are on the roads have a drivers license. My daughters, your family are driving on the roads. I want to make sure the other drivers pass a driving test. So we have undocumented drivers. Dhs, department of Homeland Security, customs and Border Patrol wants access to our undocumented drivers. Maria right. I cant give them access maria so are we going to all lose global entry . Are we going to hold, hold so the fbi, which is the federal government, has access to all this data now. The fbi has it. So when you say the federal government doesnt have it, the federal government does have it maria thats not department of Homeland Security is personally offended no, Border Patrol doesnt have it. Ah, the fbi has it. I said get it from the fbi. He said, no, the customs and Border Patrol should have it, and if you dont give it to us, were going to cancel the trusted Traveler Program which are 200,000 people who are previously approved maria okay. By the federal government with an inperson interview. Theyre holding the trusted Traveler Program hostage until, because they want me to turn over to customs and Border Patrol undocumented people. Theyre holding it hostage. Maria okay. Its leverage. Its extortion. Its wrong. Maria wow. So so the federal government does have it, maria, because the fbi has it. Maria im going to tell chad wolf, Homeland Security secretary, next time he comes. Real quick, governor, are you going to rethink this bail reform law, sir . Because we see the crime numbers, theyre up. You definitely saw the wall street journal oped today, the nobail fiasco in new york. Bottom line, will you propose or support that judges have the discretion to let out criminals as they see fit . And change this bail reform situation which has caused crime numbers to go shooting up . We have been [laughter] we have been improving the bail reform. Look, bail reform for many years was based on how much money you had, maria. Thats what cash bail is. If youre rich, you get out. If youre poor, you sit. Thats an injustice, not justice. We made that change, were going to make more changes. I understand the fear. I understand the create the criticism. I said that were working on it, and i believe weaver going to get something done in the budget on april 1. Maria so you think youll get judges having the discretion that they should have . I think we will have i understand the issues that they have raised maria right. I i think judges are part of the system, and im working with the legislature, but i think were going to get ad good resolution by april 1. Maria all right, governor, you know, i could talk to you all day because weve got so many issues to talk about. Is biden better for you to run up against President Trump or is bernie better . What do you like better, governor . Okay. Ill well, between, i havent endorsed between joe biden and Bernie Sanders, but ill tell you this, donald trump is afraid of joe biden. Otherwise rudy giuliani, whos a very busy person, doesnt run around in ukraine and the president doesnt get on the phone with ukraine talking about joe biden unless hes afraid of joe biden. And if youre running against someone youre afraid of, thats a bad race to be in, maria. [laughter] maria governor, its good to see you this morning. Were going to be watching your leadership in this very tested the moment in time that we are in in new york. Thank you, sir. Thank you. New yorkers are proud of you, maria. Maria thank you so much, sir or. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo joining us there. Well be right we made usaa insurance for members like kate.

Download the my account app to manage your appointments making todays Xfinity Customer Service simple, easy, awesome. Ill pass. Maria welcome back. President trump is is visiting the cdc on friday as he urged people to stay calm as the coronavirus continues to spread. P my next guest, georgia congressman doug collins is the Ranking Member of the house judiciary committee. Congressman, thanks for joining us. What did you learn on your visit with the president to cdc, sir . What we learned is that the administration is still on top of this, theyre still moving forward, and i think there were some interesting things learned. Number one, i just heard the governor of new york talk about everybody being tested. Maria, the cdc made clear everyone who needs a test has a test to have. This idea that you need to test everybody is not really an applicable situation when youre trying to make sure that youre isolating the known cases so that you can make proper treatment, and that was what was said, that everyone who needs it, any doctor who needs a test can get that test done, and that is good to isolate the cases to make sure were doing a proper response. More test kits are coming out, secretary azar stated therell be a million and more in the next weeks, so those are going to be there for everybody that goes forward. And the other thing i think the president made clear and others at the cdc was that theyve been on this since day one. There seemed to be this delayed importance even the above talked about this, but the cdc from the minute they found out has began the process of working towards, just as they do any natural any naturally occurring virus like this to begin the process of working towards. I think the reassurance that the president was at cdc doing and making sure that the American People knew we were on top of this was the biggest thing coming out of that the other day. Maria thats true, but at the same time i know the cdc sent out 50 test kits to 50 states and said wait, you know, dont use the tests, theyre defective tests s. So there was, there was a mistake there somehow. Why send out 50 states, the test kit that they actually werent usable, and so we dont really have a clear number in terms of how many people are sick because we couldnt do the testing, right . Well, no, i think it was corrected very quickly. More i having a clear number of how many people is have the virus, thats one of the things cdc, there are some things who may actually have this virus and get sick but they dont go to the doctor. Theres a lot of things in process, thats why were making sure the money with we passed this past week and the president signedded is important because it allows the states, talking about people who need to be quarantined, need to have the medical treatment to have everything they need, and we need to make sure people do the basic stuff. Wash your hands, stay out of crowds if youre sick. If you know theres going to be a problem, make sure that you take the proper precautions just as you do with every other thing. And i think theres been a heightened a awareness of that, and i think youre going to see these cases contained, and if they do come up as we go forward, were going to have a good response because the resources are available. Maria were going to speak with dr. Carson in a moment, on the White House Task force, and i want to ask him about hospitals and why theyre preparing for millions of people to go to the hospital. Millions, i mean, thats a question for dr. Carson coming up. But let me ask you, congressman, youve got a very important deadline on march 15th, the fisa surveillance tool, certain fisa surveillance tools will expire. Do you have the votes, do you believe, to actually expand these surveillance tools . Where does this fisa reauthorization go next week . Well, thats a great question. You and i have been talking about this issue for a long time. The fisa issue is something we need to take time now to not only look at these extensions and remember, theres two parts, the actual fisa part thats the court that was set up in the 70s that is in permanent law. And then you have extra parts that came up through the patriot act like the lone wolf provision, roving wiretaps, those things that do come up in a sunset, so we have to approve those. My position and i think the houses position and im sure the president s mentioned this as well is our time to look at what needs to happen with the court itself so that we dont get another carter page, we dont get another president like President Trump as a candidate and as president was attacked by rogue cabals at the doj abusing the fisa process. Weve been working on this for over a year and a half, and i think the house is in no position to pass anything that doesnt have actual title i change so that we can protect american citizens in sensitive areas. Ive been working on that through the weekend, were continuing to work on that. I really wish that the senate over the past year, had they been in the majority, had more hearings on this because from the minority position, weve been working hard, and now we need to help this president and help any future president or any political person not have the fisa court maria it sounds like you dont have the votes next week. No, i dont think we do, and i think thats a good thing, good for the president and good for the country. How many times have you and i talked about the fact that the people have lost trust in the justice department, in the fisa court. And remember, the fisa court was put in place in the 70s because of abuses in the Intelligence System and abuses among law enforcement. Maria right. Does that not sound familiar today . We need to reevaluate now. More youre right. We keep talking about it, and were talking about it with Lindsey Graham as well, now hes started interviews, i guess, but is it too little too late . I mean, are we going to actually get accountability . My audience wants accountability, and so far we havent seen many interviews, you know, subpoenas from Lindsey Graham. Well, id like to see more, and i think thats the thing weve been pushing for for the last year. In the house weve been the tip of the spear. Martha i maria i know. Im glad to see they finally got started, id love to see more of that. It was amazing this past week when senator ron johnson was actually trying to do something, and mitt romney all of a sudden decided he was going to possibly object to subpoenas. Weve got to get over this. This is an abuse of our system, and its an integral participant of what the doj does. When they attacked President Trump, thencandidate trump and tried to cover it up and use fisa, theres nobody in this country that could be immune from this type of abuse. Maria im glad you mentioned senator johnson, talking about that with Kevin Mccarthy coming up, gop leader. Doug collins joining us there. Are u. S. Officials prepared for what could be widespread coronavirus and the outbreak coming . We get more into that with House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy [sfx doorbell] hello, i saw you move in, and i wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood with some homemade biscuits oh, thats so nice and a little tip, geico could help you save on homeowners insurance. Hmm cookies uhh, biscuits. Mmmm, is there a little nutmeg in there . Oh its my mums secret recipe. You can tell me. Its a secret. Is it cinnamon . Its my mums secret recipe. Call geico and see how easy saving on homeowners and condo insurance can be. Ill come back for the plate. 1 in 3 deaths is caused by cardiovascular disease. Saving on homeowners and condo insurance can be. Millions of patients are treated with statinsbut up to 75 persistent cardiovascular risk still remains. Many have turned to fish oil supplements. Others, fenofibrates or niacin. But heres a number you should take to heart zerothe number of fda approvals these products have, when added to statins, to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Ask your doctor about an advancement in prescription therapies with proven protection. Visit truetoyourheart. Com we do things differently and aother money managers, dont understand why. Because our way works great for us but not for your clients. Thats why were a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. So, what do you provide . Cookie cutter portfolios . Nope. We tailor portfolios to our clients needs. But you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right . We dont have those. So, whats in it for you . Our fees are structured so we do better when our clients do better. At Fisher Investments were clearly different. Maria welcome back, President Trump signed 8. 3 billion package to fight and treat coronavirus. The bill passed congress be overwhelming bipartisan support with only 3gop lawmakers voting against it. Joining me House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy, republican from california. Good to see you, sir. 3 republicans voting against it. I dont get that at all in the middle of the crisis. No, you have to ask them. We should have had the bill a week earlier. The democrats held the bill so congressman bustos should run ads against republicans. As you said this is very serious and we should take it for the seriousness that it should be. 8. 3 billion, does 3 main things, testing, treatment and telehealth which is very important because what you want to do is make sure you have containment but make sure the people are able to get the treatment they need. We were able to make a revision in that where people use Technology Today to be able to talk to a doctor not going out and affecting everybody else around them and make a real difference. Maria are you going to be able to clear the decks in terms of a vaccine . I mean, the bureaucratic process in terms of getting drugs passed through the fda, anything that you can do differently to hurry and get a vaccine sooner than later . I know there are therapies that we are waiting on as well for a couple of months. Remember, they were with the president this week as well when he went to nih and cdc. You have gilliad in trials in china and america. You have Johnson Johnson working on a vaccine. The real challenge is china was not forthcoming and not allowing doctors in when President Trump was requesting early on in december of last year. Thats why we werent getting all the information. Now that we have it, we know every single day we are learning something more about this and america will solve this problem not just for america but for the rest of the world. Maria what does this mean for xi jinping. First he had protestors and now this and swine flu. Dictator for life and has lots of plans for 2030, is this enough to knock him off his perch . I dont know if its enough to knock him off his perch . To deny doctors to be in there is affecting the rest of the world. The other thing, his own economy, i know its closed economy but there are millions of people out of work being told to stay home and now every country will look at their supply chain and we as america as President Trump asked us to do before. Our key ingredients are minerals. They werent open about it where we could have contained this inside china. Maria lets move to the economy here and 2020 election. Youre trying to take back the house, the gop. Great numbers on jobs in february, 273,000 jobs created in the month of february. You still see economy that is strong and expectation that is things will slow down in a big way. Are you going to come up with a another stimulus package, tax cut plan, how are you going to deal with an economy that is sure to slow in terms of manufacturing in china . Remember where we are starting from, the strongest economy in 20 years thanks to the republicans and administration to do on tax reform. We are looking at things surgically, areas and industries that may need help. That may be a situation where you relieve some regulations or tax but its something that we are studying now because you are correct, maria, coming off 270,000 jobs when we thought there was a hundred thousand. You look anywhere in the else, they are jealous of what america has been able to create and we want to maintain it. The challenge that we have is that democrats are in power. Will they do something to help the economy grow or are they caring more about politics to try to harm the president . And weve watched time and time again they always pick politics. If you want to change the house you have to go to takethehouse. Com to make a fundamental difference here. You should people before politics. Maria you heard governor cuomo, President Trump is afriday of joe biden, bottom line, you called it on this program. You said that the democrats are clearing the decks for biden and they are colluding against bernie again, they are all getting behind joe biden right now. What are your prospects going into 2020 election. Remember what they did to Bernie Sanders 4 years ago. The chair had to resign because they found out they were cheating. Nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house, held impeachment not to go to the senate because senators couldnt campaign andia got klobuchar to back out and buttigieg to endorse beforehand. One thing looking back as a republican, nominating joe biden is the same things as republicans nominate mitt romney. It may make the establishment look good but hes not winning. Maria mitt romney will be the vote that goes against President Trump. Hes made that clear. Yeah, but this should not be about politics. Any elected office that uses their office or have children who uses their office to get economic gain where youre getting 50,000 a month. How Many Americans dont make that in a year, and you have no experience whatsoever and the only reason that you have that job because of your father and your father withholds money to a country to change the investigation of the people this hired you, the democrats should be the first person investigating this. All theyve done with their majority is investigate, but the only place they wouldnt investigate is joe biden because they care about politics instead of the rule of law. Maria we have been waiting on Lindsey Graham to call somebody down to subpoena hunter biden, subpoena somebody around this, is this going to be investigated or not . You have senator johnson asking for a subpoena and rightfully so, and this shouldnt be about politics. It should be about the rule of law and i would like to see democrats care about this too and vote for this as well. Maria congressman, before you go, any reaction to what senator schumer said trying to attack a Supreme Court justice and in explaining it, hey, im from brooklyn. Im from brooklyn. I have a problem with that. Is he saying that people from brooklyn threaten Supreme Court justices . Hes saying more than that. Hes the leader of the senate, hes the leader of the democrats, hes standing before the Supreme Court trying to influence the outcome. In america we encourage the exchange of ideas, not to the idea that youre going to intimidate. Remember, they disliked President Trump for winning, they impeached. They seek College Campuses and go after them trying to intimidate them. We watched what senator schumer was doing, the intimidation there, if i was a democrat in the senate, i would have changed my leadership if this was what was happening. Maria and i would keep brooklyn out of it. Brooklyn rocks. Congressman, good to see you. Kevin mccarthy joining us there. Dr. Ben carson to talk about how the Trump Administration is handling as a caricature artist, i appreciate what makes each person unique. Thats why i like liberty mutual. They get that no two people are alike and customize your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need. Almost done. What do you think . I dont see it. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Colon Cancer Screening for people 45 plus at average risk. Some things are harder than you thought. And others are easier. Like screening for colon cancer with me, cologuard. Im noninvasive and you use me at home. Im also effective. I find 92 of colon cancers using dna in your stool. So why wait . Cologuard is not for those at high risk for colon cancer. False positive and negative results may occur. Ask your Healthcare Provider if cologuard is right for you. Most insured patients pay 0. Can we go get some ice cream . Alright, we gotta stop here first. From smarter atms, to after hours video tellers comcast business is connecting thousands of banks to technology that turns everyday transactions into extraordinary experiences. Hi there. How are you . Do you have any lollipops in there . laughing no, sorry. Were helping all kinds of businesses go beyond customer expectations. How can we help you . Maria welcome back, we turn our attention to the coronavirus. As we mentioned earlier there are more than 40 confirmed cases in at least 25 states here in the United States 19 of those resulting in deaths. Joining me right now dr. Ben carson, member of the Coronavirus Task force, secretary of housing and urban development. Dr. Carson, good to see you, thank you for joining us. Good to be with you, maria. Maria there was a hospital that actually leaked information and they are expecting millions of hospitalizations as the outbreak unfolds, how severe will this become, sir . Well, it certainly has the potential to be severe and thats one of the reasons that, you know, the task force meets every day. We are in communication with a lot of experts around the country in terms of the best ways to contain this. Obviously if we dont use best practices to contain the spread, then we will have a horrendous situation, but we are very cognizant of that. We meet on a daily basis, we evaluate the information and make recommendations based on the evidence. Maria what can we do if anything to stop what seems to be coming our way in a big way . I mean, this hospital leak is revealing that they are preparing for million hospitalizations in this presentation which was titled what healthcare leaders need to know. 4. 8 million hospitalizations associated with coronavirus. 96 million cases overall and 480,000 deaths. Does that sound right to you . Is that possible . Absolutely. Is it likely, probably not. We are obviously going to do everything we can to make sure that we minimize the damage thats done here and that includes, you know, a little bit of common sense and utilizing information that we know already. We know, for instance, that people who are elderly have and underlying problems that affect their immune system are much more vulnerable than others, but we also note that the virus can be passed on by people who have little in symptomtology and we need to use that information appropriately and if you go to a place where theres a lot of people and you have a compromised immune system, maybe you need to rethink that. You certainly should rethink getting on a cruise ship, you should think about, you know, taking an airplane trip, a long distance, particularly if youre compromised in some way. Maria if you leave the country and go on a trip, do you need to get tested when you come back to america . I think it kind of depends on where youve been. If youve been to northern italy or some place like that you want to think about that seriously. People need to learn how to be responsible. Selfquarantine yourself if you know that youve been to one of the dangerous areas. Selfquarantine yourself, contact your medical professionals, they will tell you what the next steps are. Maria what else do you want to see in terms of what we have heard from the cruise line situation, the cruises that have been docked off of the coast of the country because of the worry that those people are sick . You mentioned to me on the phone about the ventilation and the vents inside the cruise ships, what changes might we see in terms of the infrastructure in america as a result of this . Tell us what youve learned . Well, you know, a lot of times it takes a desperate situation to make us do what we already have the technology to do and many hospitals already in healthcare settings, they have isolation or ventilation system so that youre not transmitting things through the ventilation system. We have filters that can filter very small particles. We need to start utilizing those in cruise ships. We need to utilize them on airplanes, we need to utilize them in different settings. We cant do that right now, but when this is all over, lets learn from the situation to make sure that we are not in a similar situation later on. Maria what are you doing, the government, in terms of keeping americans safe with the drugs that they need . The fda is concerned, in fact, that its developed a list of 150 prescription drugs that we may very well not be able to get our hands Going Forward because active ingredients are made in china. Healthcare workers keeping them safe and then their protective equipment, like the masks, gloves, the suits, et cetera. Are we limited on those things because many of them are made in china . Right now the masks are a bit of a problem. The manufacturers are ramping up very considerably. There are a few obstacles that are on the way which we are working on now to remove those. The other types of protective gear we seem to have plenty of them but we are making sure to the supply chain are adequate. Things coming from china and other places like that, you know, we are looking for alternatives if we cant get enough of those things, but, again, thats snag we should be thinking about. In terms of critical supply chains, lets make sure we are not depending on others. Its the same thick for oil. We used to be so dependent on iran, it affected the way we react today things that were going on in the middle east. Thats not the case final. The same will apply with the supply chain items and we have a lot of very creative and innovative people in this country, so we need to rely on them to provide the materials that we need. Maria dr.

This is the nation east highest civilian honor and he will receive this this upcoming week. Fox news senior strategic analyst jack keane, general, i could not be happier for you, congratulations, it could not be more well deserved. Good to see you, general. Good to see, maria, thank you. Maria it will happen in the upcoming week, sir . Yes, on tuesday, tuesday afternoon. I was absolutely shocked and stunned when the president called several months ago. I mean, it really is quite overwhelming, maria, to tell you the truth. Its not something that anyone would aspire to and you cannot help but reflect that almost immediately when youre receiving an honor like this about the love and support that ive had all my life from family and friends. I lived the life in the military among heros and inspiration in this day in terms of sacrifices that are willing to make. Its a humbling thing to be sure. I recognize fully that so many people that i have associated in my life to be quite honest deserve this award more than i do and that keep me grounded, for sure. Maria the president said this is awarded to individual who is have meat merittist contributions to the United States, world peace, other private endeavors and you have certainly done that your entire life, dedicated to our great country. Military response to coronavirus is also worth discussing and the risk to our soldiers abroad as they are on the front lines of this once again. Theres no doubt about it because they are deployed all over the world and in some places where its actually epicenter for the disease, particularly in south korea, japan and italy. We have thousands of troops deployed in those areas. Here is the good news, maria, this is a very healthy population. Its largely young and and in good health, so i think even if even if they contract it, i think they will get through it as we have seen so many other people. The overwhelming majority, everybody who gets the disease survives it and i think the soldiers would be embodiment of that. I know the entire chain of command is focused on it and have safeguards and protections for them and our troops will stay deployed in the National Interest of the American People and keep doing their job and their duty. Maria a couple of seconds left, you gave system before Senate Arms Service with afghanistan. Peace deal and then strikes, what happened . This is largely over prisoners. Taliban want prisoners before negotiations begin. Thats somewhat unprecedented. President gani of afghanistan would not like to give 5,000 prisoners back until he sees actually something is going to happen here. Thats what produced the violence and the fact that the taliban shows violence as opposed to negotiations, that issue says what their intentions it all starts with an invitation. To be our guest.
