morning. don t go any way, morning joe starts now. this week in covid history, march 2020, week two, everyone is getting mask fever. n95 masks, gas masks and mask singers like sarah palin seen about singing about her moist alaska bottoms. speaking of uncomfortable shaking, president trump shakes hands in florida. lots and lots of hands, but don t worry about that pesky coronavirus. we re doing a great job with it. and it will go away. just stay calm. lit go away. really? because it sort of feels like it s getting out of control. tom hanks got it. arenas are empty and people are buying t.p. like hot cakes. be calm. it s really working out. and a lot of good things are going to happen. no reason to panic. ask fox news. why the mask hysteria over the coronavirus when it s far more lethal to have the flu? why if the flu is by pure numbers much more dangerous, why do you think there s this reaction that we see everywhere? it s actually the safest time to fly
Worldwide. In his first speech abroad he urged them to purge their communities of, quote, the foot soldiers of evil. The man who campaigned heavily on a proposed muslim ban today asked islamic leaders in the middle east to unite with america in the global fight against terrorism. Lets get out to Nick Robinson in the saudi capital where President Trump gave that speech today. Nick. Reporter ana, part of President Trumps message seemed to be to alleviate the concerns of those in the room that under president obama they lost the support of the United States.

They have done nothing but contribute to the greatest country in the world. They willingly came forward and gave their information to the government and this president betrayed them.
