We have to worry more from our adversaries or just america have to worry more from its adversaries because the president is seemingly incapacitated or at least hes at hospital here is incapacitated whats happening in the want to know if you get seriously sick when it could happen we dont know. What happens to the chain of command what happens in the white house who will be in charge will he become seriously ill the 25th amendment allows for transference of power that means that the Vice President mike pence were taken troll of the government. And if he were to become sick because hes been in contact with the president then there is a secession stipulation that would allow for the speaker of the house to take power and thats nancy pelosi but were not quite at that stage yet. Of course very special. One hospital. Just seen in the pictures. On the screen. Its not just the average hospital is it you know this is where president s go for treatment and even. Donald trump went there last year we dont know what the results were and what all the tests were about but he was there and he been told that he while he is still feeling ill they hes still doing work from the president ial offices there at the hospitals that hes still working but we should note that he was supposed to lead a Conference Call yesterday but he canceled and mike pence stepped in. Says thank you very much. While we wait for that statement of the president of the trumps dr on the Health Status of President Trump. Lead. How his carona faction 1st saw the news of it 1st emerged and watched treatment hes receiving. The 1st glimpses of a u. S. President since he shocked the world which is covert 1000. 00 diagnosis. Here donald trump has been transferred to hospital with officials insisting its only a precautionary measure. The white house said he was 58 but in good spirits and experiencing mild symptoms before takeoff the president assured his supporters he was doing ok. Thank you everybody for the tremendous record im. Going to make sure things were the 1st lady is doing very well so thank you very much. The white house had been on high alert after news that a top aide was diagnosed with a virus on thursday. Ho pics seen here in the brown coat often travels with President Trump. Now the race is on to trace and test the people who might have come in contact with the president. And the potential pool of people is huge with an election to win trump has been on the road addressing voters and he hasnt always won a face mask or followed social distancing guidelines. Outside of walter reed Trump Supporters gathered to show their support for the president. But with a month until the election tribes illness has thrown the campaign into uncharted territory. If donald trump hopes to stay in office hes going to have to beat the coronavirus 1st. As he was he too cat so much trouble with the corona pandemic both from a Public Health perspective with regard to his own health well critics would say absolutely he mocked the idea of wearing a mask he would rarely were one in public only when he was High Pressure to do so did he and. He he he continued to hold these mass rallies or as big of rallies as he could the rose garden is an example of this where he nominated his Supreme Court nominee Amy Connie Barrett and nobody would very few people Wearing Masks and it wasnt just outdoors the ceremonies ceremony was also indoors and people were hugging and they were very close and this is the kind of thing that the president encourages because he wants us to move away from the fact that we are in the middle of a pandemic because its not good for him politically so and then we also know about the bob woodward interview weve heard the tapes where he knew on february 7th that this was a highly contagious disease airborne and he did very little and regards to mobilizing a federal response and preparing the American People with the truth of what we are dealing with and what where do we go from here were talking about the complain what effect will his illness have on his campaign on his chances to get reelected there are so many questions that are still in the air this is so new for everybody so the very answer is im not sure but i know that what will be one scenario that well once an area is that perhaps well we know that his campaign. Is has counseled a lot of the activities that he was involved in mike pence may have to step up and do more for the debate for example thats scheduled for october 15th with against his challenger Vice President biden joe biden. His sickness falls within that 14 day window where youre supposed to wait and be quarantined so the question is do they move the debate which is possible do they have it something where its online where the men are completely separated we just have to wait and see those questions have been answered. He will definitely miss out on the Campaign Events that he thrives in the big rallies where everybody is wearing moderate. Or do you think that will have a significant effect that is that his supporter base might be disheartened they will be feel dejected im sure because where in the mass and how you respond to the coronavirus in the United States has become extremely political and if their main guy that supports their cultural issues is an out there warning for them im sure that this will will hurt his campaign hes not able to go out and do the certain things and mike pence while he has been a very solid number 2 he doesnt have the same charisma whether you like trump or not he does have a charisma and mike pence doesnt have that. So well just well just have to see what happens i also wanted to note that this really brings to the forefront that the that donald trump and joe biden are both men in their seventys and so this really brings puts a lot of pressure on kemal harris and mike pence to do extremely well at their debates because they could easily step in and be the president of the United States so this is something that were all thinking about an addition. I should say were talking about publicity and the election joe biden has agreed or he already has done this to pull his negative campaign and about donald trump and the Donald Trump Campaign said theyre not doing the same so theyre going to fight the way that they can without the president being forefront you talk about the democrats. This is a bit of a tricky issue that. Can they benefit from it and. Well i think the benefit and the fact that joe biden looks like a leader he got in from the cameras yesterday and was wearing a mask and was speaking not just like hed be the representative of blue states he consecrate red states he was focused on america in general and everybody coming. Together and doing what needs to be done to contain the virus and i think that this is the later ship that a lot of americans wanted to see and they did not see this from donald trump weve also speculation that the. Elections so could be postponed is that realistic i dont believe that that is highly realistic there have been so many fights to keep this election going. People are afraid that their votes are going to be disenfranchised anyway some people are voting early some have started voting last week so i dont i dont think that the the election will be postponed will what will be postponed are the official numbers its just impossible because so many people a mailing in their ballots because of coronavirus so we wouldnt get the results on november 3rd anyway which we technically we dont get we but we usually have an idea based off of exit polling but because of the way things are right now with the coronavirus its impossible to have an exact definite winner on november 3rd lets just remind viewers that we are waiting for a statement by the doctor who is treating the u. S. President donald trump in washington on the Health Status of the president joint buys from the u. S. Election team says he lets go back weve discussed that before but hes at the moment were waiting for an update from his doctor but what about his health right now ok right now we can we know that hes been suffering from problems breathing and this is the congestion exocet it with problems with the coronavirus but were told that his symptoms are mild he had a low grade fever and he was a little tired this is why he was tested again in the 1st place and we should also mention that he is and he hit some high risk categories which makes it a little bit more difficult to recover from the coronavirus hes 74 years old hes clinically obese and hes had problems with his cluster also on. And these things play a factor and his health says thank you so well President Trump has long been dismissive of the corona virus and the precautions his own experts recommend as his how hes reacted to the greatest Public Health challenge in decades. From initial optimism in february looks like by april you know in theory when it gets a little warmer it miraculously goes away i hope thats true circumstance to a number up to about face in march that specific case today i am officially declaring a National Emergency us President Donald Trump has gone to extremes in his Public Attitude toward the coronavirus hes always saw a Silver Lining even as the death toll skyrocketed america will again and soon be open for business very soon we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself were not going to let the cure be worse than the problem in the start seeing some real laid at the end of the tunnel but this is going to be a very painful. Very very painful 2 weeks that trump soon turned a medical problem into a political issue forcing the public to choose between him and the experts when government scientists recommended Wearing Masks he scoffed at the idea is over we one myself its a recommendation they recommended. I dont see it for myself i just i just maybe ill change my mind he didnt change his mind but as the pandemic refused to go away miraculously he mused in public about rather unorthodox treatments supposing we hit somebody with a tremendous whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light when i said supposing you brought the lady you can which you can do either through the skin or. In some other way right and then i see the disinfectant it knocks it out in a minute. By june as testing ramped up along with case numbers he seemed exasperated if you dont test you dont have any cases that we stepped right now would have very few cases if any. And he started marking the virus making racist jokes and blaming the pandemic on chinas strong its a disease without question has more names than any Disease Initiative i i can name. Lou i couldnt i 90 different versions of them says with the election looming he doubled down on mocking masks even during the president ial debate i dont have i dont wear masks like him every time you see hes got a mask he could be speaking 200 feet away from him he shows up with the biggest mask ive ever seen that attitude held up until the last minute at this rally in minnesota on wednesday trump threw souvenirs barehanded into a packed audience where few wore masks it remains to be seen how seriously trumps diehard supporters will now take the virus that has put their hero into quarantine and. Well joining us now while we wait for the doctor who is treating the president in washington to appear and talk to the pres is stephens he was our correspondent in washington and stacy of course remains in the studio. Stefan what do you make of this upcoming statement is there some urgency behind this maybe. S. Press in washington d. C. This us president is International Press i would say yeah there is some urgency behind this and what i mean by that is that we finally want to get some information the white house has been yesterday very very bad actually of keeping the public the American Public and us the press informed about what is going on how the president is feeling there was a lot of guesswork involved from experts doctors the pundits on National Television here and and us reporters of what is going on until the white house finally decided to say ok the president is sick and here is what we. Prescribe him to take medicine again that was the red zone and. Cocktail antibody cocktail which is again pointing this out stacey measures that already is not approved its experimental its not f. D. A. Approved at all but anyway so yeah were hoping now to get some information as a how is the president doing what about his symptoms is he Getting Better is he getting worse and what about the medicines other medicines he may get from the doctors not just doctor one doctor the. Personal doctor of the of president of course involved in his treatment but a team of experts and those are as were told and know are top notch people taking care of the president there. Can you talk to us about walter reed is that hospital is just not any old hospital than an average house facility is it. No its not walter reed is short for Walter Reed National military Medical Center and they go its in the name its military its a pentagon shop its for the army during the wars in iraq and afghanistan many many many thousands of veterans. Injured heavily badly injured came to walter reed this is where the military sense its injured people this is where the president gets his treatment in walter reed this is a complex not just one building its a complex medical complex and there is what these socalled president s offices which includes a president ial suite and this is where the president is right now and this is where his treatment happens so when you follow the complain so far and weve discussed here in the studio how would you describe toms answer to towards the coronavirus both from a Public Health perspective and also regarding his own health. As a lets lets not kid ourselves we all know and we reported about this for months and months and months the president was dismissive of corona of the coronavirus of the threat of coronaviruses he downplayed it actively he joked about it he. Made anybody who came even with a mask to him 2 words him feel bad and mock people about wearing a mask and of course that was all strategy of course this was all campaign because he needs to be seen for his clientele for his voter for his days as the strong man who is not affected or impacted by anything now well this backfired now a little bit however i would not say that this will have a Significant Impact on his face they will still vote donald trump and will be behind their leader no matter what remember do those things that he said he could shoot somebody on 5th avenue and they would vote for him and again this is actually still true i believe now what about the campaign how they just think the campaign is interesting to note this and stacy has alert to this already is not giving up on commercials on ads t. V. Ads and theyre still remain negative ads by good pay and pulled those back by joe biden the democratic candidate want to be statesman lead there and doing the right thing the campaign fault that but trump and his campaign they do not do this however but there is still manis events planned naacp with donald trump and of course the problem is he is the main magnet for the big crowds right but there will be dog jump june Donald Trump Jr and other surrogates going to those events even mike pence perhaps and try to keep that steam rolling this Campaign Going this will be difficult for them definitely because again the commander in chief the president of the United States and donald trump the core the main act of the Trump Campaign is in the hospital with covert 19 and hes sick. So more people surrounding the president have tested positive other theories where they could have been infected you know theres a couple of theories we were focused 24 hours ago very much on the whole picks of course the top advisor to the president as being the so to speak super spreader for covert but this is all to be taken with a grain of salt and a little bit of doubt but it seems to be the case that on saturday when donald trump nominated ms barrett as the future justice at the Supreme Court in the states he pointed out in the rose garden as well as inside the white house that nobody there wore masks nobody took any precautions and that they were maybe hope peeks or others who were actually infected and already contagious with covert 19 so this is constituting a major problem because there were absolutely pictures and videos taken of for example. Attorney general hugging and shaking hands with candy and conway remember Kellyanne Conway another top adviser of the of the president she tested positive covert 19 positive and didnt wear masks and hockey and shook hands with everybody there 3 senators from this would tend of this event now friends who are also on the Judiciary Committee thats why they were there it was about the nomination of the new next Supreme Court justice they also fall ill now and also positive with covert 19 which throw the range in for and before i explain this to which throws a ring wrench in for Mitch Mcconnell the Senate Leader who wants to dispute the schedule very very quickly the hearings on the new to me from the for the Supreme Court that might be a little bit tricky.
