So this morning, we will take your calls about your level of confidence in the information the American Public has received since the president tested positive for the coronavirus.

You can start calling now. The president is up and tweeting this morning my nine tweets and accounting so far. Here are a few of them from this morning. 10 minutes ago, the president saying the strongest ever military. Then vote. Law and order. Another one coming, vote. These all within the past couple minutes this morning as we ask you whether you trust what is being released on his health. Here are headlines on that matter. First from some of the capitol hill papers and washington, d. C. Papers. Unanswered. This from politico, his team under fire because of confusion. Releasingent conflicting information, sometimes none at all, since his diagnosis. This from the front page of usa todays health section, the spin eyed by critics, with questions about whether he is being transparent enough as he attended by sean conley, who said he was not necessarily intending to mislead the public when on saturday, he would not answer questions on whether the president had been on supplemental oxygen, only stating that the president at the time was not on it. The white house confirming that the president had been giving oxygen on friday before going to walter reed. It is sean conley yesterday during the update outside of walter reed, talking about the issue of the president and whether he was given oxygen. [video clip] i was trying to reflect the upbeat attitude that the team, the course of illness, has had and i did not want to give information that might steer the course of illness in another direction. Wedoing so, came off that were trying to hide something, which was not necessarily true. He is doing really well. He is responding. And as the team said, if everything goes well, we will get him back to the white house. Host that was his attending physician yesterday at walter reed Medical Center. Just about one hour or two before that appearance, the president S National Security adviser was on the sunday shows, indicating that the critical days might still be ahead when it comes to the president s health. [video clip] the good news is the president feels very well and he wants to get back home and get back to work my but i think he will stay at walter reed for another period of time. I went through this over the summer, this virus, and even if you have no symptoms, and i had minor symptoms, days seven and eight are the critical days, so i think the doctors want to make sure that they are there for the president and he is getting the best treatment, but he is doing well. I spoke with him on friday. I was in geneva holding talks with my counterpart from russia, and i was able to call the president after he tested positive to give them an update on the talks and get his feedback for the afternoon, and he was in good spirits and firmly in control. Host that was face the nation. And yesterday evening, the president taking a ride outside of walter reed to greet some of his supporters, leaving the hospital there, calling them great patriots, the supporters rallying for his recovery on sunday outside of Walter Reed NationalMedical Center. Maryland,thesda, north of washington, d. C. We will let you watch that as we continue to update you on the president s tweeting this morning. Three more tweets just since we began the program five minutes ago. He is continuing to talk about some of the reasons why he wants supporters to vote for him. Tweeting a minute ago about massive regulation cuts and other issues, including space force and the best Approval Ratings ever. Those are some of the tweets from the president yesterday. Ene yesterday outside of walter reed Medical Center. We are taking your phone calls, asking if you trust what is being released on President Trumps health. We will talk about this for the first hour this morning. Call in on the phone lines. 2027488000, if you do. If you dont, 2027488001. If you are unsure, 2027488002. Out of howard beach, new york, burning on the line for those on thetrust bernie line for those who do trust. Caller you have to give the doctors by definition they have taken an oath to do no harm, to be straightforward with their patients. Paare is a hippo code, hi code which means any information released must be ok by the patient. The patient has to sign off that any information let go to the or her,s ok with him, as the case may be. So i am firmly trust what the doctors say because i, you know, it is tough to say. Thend it curious, watch doctors as they walk out of the hospital and line up. Tell me, think about their body language and positioning. You notice they all hold their hands in front of their genitals. No one holds them behind their backs, no one is extracting their heads. They are coordinated. It is very entertaining and interesting. Host you say that you trust the medical professionals, but you do not necessarily trust the president . In this case, the attending physician works directly for the president , a navy officer, sean conley he is serving the president , the president is the commanderinchief. Caller what is your point . What is your point . Host is that something that would change your level of trust here, the independence of the doctors . Caller well, i mean, the doctors have nothing to gain by lying. After all, they work for the president. If they lie, the president will deal with it. He is good with criticism and so they have full freedom to be honest and straightforward. The president would never interfere with that. Host this is larry in illinois, also for the outline for those who say they trust what is being released. Go ahead. Caller i totally trust with the doctors say. They may be military, but i believe they are doctors first, military second. I have heard so much on channels about how all of the doctors are lying. His personal doctor lies. Everyone is lying. Now, i do not know for sure, but i have seen a couple books come out already on other channels, people are making lots of money on foot President Trump writing books. Some of them may be true, but i believe most of them are false. These doctors are in the military. Maybe that is how they were person to stand, the talking about where their hands are. In the picture right now, the person on the left has his aunts behind his back. I think it is a big hoax on the part of a couple of the tv channels trying to put the president down again, and trying to destroy him and his family anyway that they can. The only thing i would like to know is, i would like the tracing to continue to find out where this came from. And totally believe the doctor will or excuse me, the president will be released when the doctors decide he is safe to go back to the white house. Thank you very much. I do believe he is still in good enough health he can take care of any major problems and that may come up. It does not look like he is out of his mind, well, he is out of his mind every day according to most people, but he seems to be in control, you can make decisions if they have to be made. Thank you for taking my call. Host as we say, the president s tweeting this morning, continuing his series of tweets on why people should vote and vote for him. Better and Cheaper Health Care one of those reasons, protecting preexisting conditions, fighting corrupt, fake news media. All reasons to vote for the president , who has well over a dozen tweets this morning and showing no signs of stopping so far. We mentioned the president s he served physician, as a navy physician. More on his background from the Washington Post. Served in afghanistan, joined the white house medical unit in december, 2016, a half a year later became the top physician, replacing randy jackson, who was nominated to run the department of veterans affairs. You will remember jackson was forced to withdraw from that nomination because of his workplace behavior. At that time, sean conley served in an acting capacity as the head of the unit until the director of the white house operations made the final recommendation so that he could be appointed to that for top attending physician job. One other interesting note. According to his records, july 2014, he was on assignment in afghanistan when at least six romanian soldiers in afghanistan were injured by an explosive device, some of them taken to a nato hospital and sean conley and five others received the romanian medal of honor further work on those who were wounded in that attack. Back to your phone calls asking whether you trust what was released on the health of President Trump. Gary in atlanta says no. Why is that . Caller good morning. I do not believe it. They will not even tell us what the timeline was of when he was first tested negative, then positive. We do not know when he tested positive the first time. Who in this country believes that you tested positive one day, then you took experimental drugs in the hospital the next . That does not make sense. I believe he knew he was contaminated when he went to the debate, that is why he kept running his mouth like that. Another thing, for him to write around inthat ride that limousine when people cannot say goodbye to their mother or father who die in the hospital, yet he can waive to his fans, that is a travesty in itself. That is a travesty in itself. Somebody in this country anybody who votes for donald trump, how do you sleep at night . Host that is gary on the issue of when President Trump first tested positive. This reporting out of the wall street journal. He did not disclose a positive result from a rapid test for covid19 on thursday while awaiting the findings from the more thorough screening, according to people familiar with the matter. He received a positive result on thursday evening before making an appearance on fox news, in which he did not reveal the results, but confirmed earlier reports that hope hicks had tested positive for the virus and mentioned the second test he had taken that night, for which he was awaiting the results at the time. Friday, at 1 00 a. M. On President Trump tweeting that he had indeed tested positive for coronavirus. On the line for those who say no, they do not trust in has been released. Go ahead. Caller my phone was dialed in on the republican line, 001, before i knew really what the question was i had dialed in but i believe what the doctors are saying. ,ut do not believe but anyway, how i can sleep at thet, because i do not have blood the democrats have on their hands, the bb murders [inaudible] host during coronavirus, the past seven months or so, would you believe would you say you believe the doctors . Fif not, do you believe dr. Fauci and the cdc doctors . I cannot hear you. Newill go on to sandra in york to see if her line is better for us. On the line for those who do trust what has been released. Trust what the medical professionals are saying. I think they are being transparent and he is in good health. I watched the press conference and i believe the physicians gave a Good Progress report on his health. I think the media was acting like a pack of hyenas, regarding the given content that they were saying in that press conference. Also with donald trump tweeting, coming out and trying to be as viewable to the public as possible, if that is not any more of a clear explanation of how he is doing healthwise, i do not know what is. Yesterday, when he went outside to say hello, the secret service was in ppe and donald trump had a mask on as well. Thece also that he was in car and waving, he was not speaking, he was waving and giving a thumbs up to supporters. So if i am under the impression that this virus is airborne and everything basically is transmitted through the air, if nobody is speaking in that car, then how are things being transmitted . One other thing, the secret Service Members are the people in the front of the car. Those are the people that transport him every day, they transported him to walter reed when he had covid, and they will transport with him when he leaves. So people trying to make a big deal out of it, i do not understand the point, these people take an oath to serve the president at any given cost and at all times. Host a story on the agents that work day in and day out from usa today. The virus has a secret service in uncharted waters. Cajuns cannot stop the president from risky behavior during the pandemic. That is the sub headline of that story. We mentioned the tweets from the president this morning, into something around 18 tweets so far, making somewhat of a show of tweeting this morning, coming fast and furious. Through strength, bring our soldiers home. Vote. Is what he tweeted a couple minutes ago, as we show you some of the live pictures from outside of Walter Reed NationalMedical Center in bethesda, maryland this morning. And as we ask you, do you trust what has been released when it comes to President Trumps health. Susan says no. Why is that . Caller ok, thank you for taking my call. I do not believe it simply because we cannot trust this white house to give us the truth, we cannot trust the doctors. If you look at their body language, they are not being levelheaded about what is going on with donald trump. And his joy ride yesterday, he does not care who he infects or anything about it. He only cares about himself. He wants to prove that he is still the strong guy who can go out and campaign, even though i do believe he has covid19. At first i did not believe it, now i have a reason to believe it. I do not think we will ever get honesty from this administration, even when mark meadows came out yesterday and pretty much gave what he believed to be the truth after seeing the president. Donald trump got angry and jumped on him. And gave a warning to others that he will do the same if anybody gives the appearance of the president being weak, when he prefers to look strong. Host you said we cannot trust the doctors. Are there doctors in the administration that you do trust, like dr. Anthony found she or deborah birx . Otherwise, he is out. Thank you. Host we have an unsure caller about whether she trusts what is coming out of the administration. Caller i am not sure. Have been so many varying accounts, not just during this time, but also during the time of just in the recent past, all during the pandemic there have been Different Things he has said. If people that he hires, they do not say what he wants them to stay he fires them. Like the young doctor said, he said, i was trying to keep an upbeat theme like the team wanted and i was not trying to hide anything. I kinda felt sorry for him. I really agree with one thing the president said this morning. He said vote, vote, vote. And he was right, we should all go out and vote. That was the most important thing he ever tweeted. I am not sure what i believe about the virus he is suffering, but i agree with him about voting. Host on what the president has tweeted, he has tweeted out a video of himself talking and thanking supporters who were outside of the Walter Reed NationalMedical Center. Yesterday, he sent out that video just before he actually went out there himself in the beast, the president ial limousine, to wave. This is about the one minute video that he tweeted. [video clip] we are getting great reports from the doctors. This is an incredible hospital. The work that they do is amazing and i want to thank them, the nurses, doctors, everybody here. I have also gotten to meet some of the soldiers and first responders. And what a group. I also think we will pay a surprise to the great patriots we have out on the street. They have been out there for a long time and they have trump flags. They love our country, so i am not telling anybody but you, but i am about to make a little surprise visit, so perhaps i will get there before you get to see me. But when i look at the enthusiasm, and we have enthusiasm light probably nobody has ever had, or people that love the job we are doing, we have more enthusiasm than may be anybody. So, it has been a very interesting journey. I have learned a lot about covid. I learned it by really going to school. This is the real school. This is not lets read the book school. I understand it. It is a very interesting thing. I will be letting you know about it. Inl the meantime, we know love the usa. Host that was President Trump on twitter yesterday before heading out in that motorcade to wave to supporters outside of walter reed, where he is being treated for covid19. We are asking you this morning, do you trust what has been released when it comes to his health. Chuck schumer, the minority leader with his own thoughtsin a press conference yesterday. [video clip] we all know that the president s cavalier attitude toward covid, toward masks and social distancing has endangered many people, including himself. Again, as this picture shows it has happened over, over and over again. So now we need full transparency. We need to know exactly the level of the President Health of the president s health, who got covid, how severely they have it. That applies to the senators, the workers in the white house and at the top level people at the white house. You do not have full transparency when there are coverups, even lion, about something as vital to the nation s security as the president s health. The nation is a severely endangered. We know the president has a penchant for not telling the truth, but when it comes to something as vital as this, the
