And i said, i dont want the cure to be worse than the problem, the problem is the problem. You could destroy a country this way by closing it down. It literally goes from being most prosperous, we had the best economy in history of the country three weeks ago, then were supposed to shut it down. David president hopes to have nation back open for business went weeks. Senate and house, we seem to be getting as long as much as you can, now on a bill. I think that may be had even less of an impact than the fact that were opening up this incredible country. Because swrewe have do, that i o have it open by easter, i would love to have it open by easter, i tell you that right now, i would love to have that, such an important day for other reasons, but i will make it important, i would love to have country opened up and just raring to go by easter. That is april 12. David april 12. President s hope for an american reopening by easter, booyed by administration effort to make a deal with resisting democrats. President s leadership restoring confident in American People, and president Approval Rating shows it gallup poll released today president matched his alltime high Approval Rating, gaining five points within 10 days, optimism from the administration playing out on wall street today with a major market rally, dow finishing up more than 11 this is 11 with its points in less than 10 days, a largest point gain in history more than 2100 points, nasdaq gained 8 , up 557. That is amazing record for that index. And s p up more than 10 , up 210. And breaking news tonight. White House Coronavirus Task force coordinate or dr. Debra burks highlighting increased tests for the coronavirus in United States, conducted more than 300,000 tests, President Trump hailing this achievement. We have done more tests in 8 days than south korea in 8 weeks. Our tests are better, they are sophisticated. David joining me, kimberly strostrossel, how trump haters k america, kim great to see you. Hello. David more testing in 8 days than south korea, that is supposedly model in 8 weeks. Once again, our abilities have been vastly under rated by americas critics. Yes, i would make a point of saying that because the reason we have that vast half up in vast ramp up in tests because of very people that folks and democrats in washington or bashing on, our private sector, the cdc originally tried do this first attempt got botched it was private actors who came riding in with the highspeed tests they got out quickly. American, we put it is amazing. People in beltway put their minds to anything, it is amazing what they can screw up, the most recent vision with socalled stimulus bill, aoc of all people, is calling it the crony capitalist slush fund. The way she wants to turn it to a green new deal, bernies dream. She is pushing schumer to the left, partly because as you mentioned in editorial today, wall street journal, because, schumer may go against her in the 2022 primary, no . Yeah, there are two things in washington. Neither of which is a good thing. First, somewhat despicable to claim this a slush fund or a bailout. This is not washington throwing money at companies for silly purposes, this is not business mishandling their affairs and asking washington to fix it this is business saying, were going to have to layoff massive numbers of employees, unless we get capital up injected who the system because of a shut dune you government ordered. That nonsense, and democrats know it. But on this point, as well, about the wish list and politics, you have progressives that are out there trying to impose their agenda, using a mustpass a bill as a means of sneaking it through. Were in a crisis, lets have responsible people come together, use what resources we have to help those who are actually hurting, stop it with the politics. David outside of the beltway, but real member certified member, joe biden who is running for president , he has been faulting President Trump for noting prepared being prepared for virus which is rich. HPresident Trump was doing specific thing for the virus before joe biden was talking about it. There will be a point down the line we can take a breath and say, what did we learn from this . In terms of being prepared for a pandemic. But you dont know what you dont know. And this is as Many Public Health experts have been pointing out something unlike the world has seen. Joe biden he would be better off looking like a leader within his own party right now, and perhaps suggesting they get to with this rescue package. And stop trashing on the corporate space that actually we need to help fix the problem. David one problem that mr. Biden has, he has a record of his own, he cannot escape, it has been thrown in his face, l. A. Times among others mentioning during president obama term in office they were battling swine flu they used up a lot of the n95 face masks and never replenished supply, he hasner t thener t nerve to talk about th. There were suggests that rec merecommendation of made, it waa bid odd having joe biden devoting half a speech of his concerns how well prepares the Trump Administration was for a pandemic. David how soon do you think we will get a bill that everyone can agree on . Next few hours or what . I think we get an agreement. In next few hours, maybe paper later on night, a vote tomorrow. David kim strassel from wall street journal thank you. Thank you. David okay, coming up next, President TrumpCoronavirus Task force to give an update to American People shortly, bringing it to live.

David an italian professor saying that a fear of being perceived as rac racist contribd to the country massive outbreak of coronavirus. And i think Italian Government response was lazy in the beginning, too much politics in italy. A policy from the people coming from china, then seen as racist, they were people coming from outbreak. Unwilling to see what so call wokeness did it italy, nancy pelosi socalled relief bill mentioned diversity, 22 times, would create a Congressional Oversight Panel requiring any corporation receiving federal aid related to coronavirus to provide quote, a diversity data base to Congress Like race, gender and ethnic identity, President Trump suspending travel from china on january 31 despite the outcry from the left. I made a decision to close off to china. This was weeks early, honestly i took a lot of heat. Sleepy joe biden said it is zen xenophobic and racist, what i did, thousands and thousands of more people, probably tens of thousands would be dead right now if i did not make that decision. David joining us by skype, host of this show lou dobbs, great to see you. Lou great to see you. David we had biden talk about how president was unprepare when president was moving to isolate the virus in china before biden said one word about the virus in china, you have a bill coming out of congress that is more concerned about diversity than saving lives, your thoughts. Lou in order biden is actually unraveling as a candidate, that should be worrisome to every. Democrats first and foremost, the man is his time has passed, he is incapable of connecting thoughts, putting them into sentences, god forget a paragraph. I feel badly for joe biden, i really mean, that i sympathize with him and his family, i would not worry too much of what he says move disregard it out of respect. The rest, nancy pelosi, is acting bizarrely, she and schumer have suddenly taken on a manifesto, not a bill. When you go through all that is suggesting that socalled bill, it just, it is insane to think in midst of worse pandemic in almost over a hundred years, just over a hundred years here, we are listening to the tripe these two are spewing and National Left wing media in most cases doing so without comment, let alone criticism, for crying out loud. I think we should be worried. I would say this to the republican party, if you accept one element of that manifesto, pelosis manifesto, of that radical dimms i dont think a single Congressional Republican should be reelected. This is outrage. , an affront against the constitution and American People, it should not be tolerated. And an affront to American Business and restarting business. Imagine in middle of coming out of a dead stall businesses are forced to write the 5 year diversity plans. Im not no, im not going to consider that nonsense, that is as i said, an insult, they can live or die by it but i am not going to discuss that. This is so abhorrent and disgusting when they are doing to working men, and women and their family and think that National Left wing need wher mey attacks this president who is working tirelessly while these fools pay pure politics. What we need is help for the American People. David meanwhile, look all of media attempts to downgrade in administrations and effort are falling on deaf ears, he is doing well at polls. Lou American People are they are watching what is unfolding before them. This is a crisis, there is one man Strong Enough to deal with it his name is donald trump. He is the president of the United States no matter what nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the radical dimms would have us think otherwise. The National Left wing media will not treat him or his office with respect, there by insult us all. It is astonishing to me that there is no one in the left wing media who wants to be honest enough to say that precious dr. Fauci, head of phoeni Infectious Disease at nih is among those not for a moment acknowledge that chinese refuse to cooperate with u. S. In early days, i pressed him on it time after time. And finally he relented after a month of further delay on part of the chinese, those are three to four weeks were so important, it is so important that this president , decided to put in a travel ban despite crise of racism, xenophobia. He is judgment and intellgence to do what is right for American People, that is the hallmark of his presidency, he does what is right for the American People, irrespective of politics and nonsense and orthodox thats form on left or right, no matter now venal, and vicious they become. David mr. Lou dobbs great to see you. Lou great to see you. David hope you are back soon. Joining me now, dr. Mehmet oz, great to see you. Just want to bring up italy if i can. It was mentioned today that it appears that italy may have reached its peak. That numbers of new infections and deaths are coming down a bit. Does it seem that way to you . Well, last two days have been slightly lower than prior peaks. That good news, if the pandemic was worsening in italy, you would see continued increases. The thing that bring fear to us is a doubling of numbers. Lets kepkeep your fingers cros. And seems that germany flatten add curve a bit. It does appear that this is an invisible enemy that we can defeat. We know we will defeat this pandemic anyway. I think social distancing and aggressive steps taken by leaders in all levels of government, will show benefit. The question is whos what are al metrics we look for to see if it is working. I was part of todays pres press conference, dr. Burke said were not just focusing on numbers of cases because with more testing, of course, that will increase, but looking at mortality rates, i think within next week well have a good gauge, which is why 15 days of the amount of time selected by task force, we will be able to identify if were head to the right spot. I was implesse pressed impret president put a timeline out. David do you think we could hit that note of easter to begin to reopen businesses . A good time fors resurrectiok medically i used a get for, i asked the president what would happen if that did not work out well. A surgeon, knows when a surgery goes well. And when a patient can go home. A great surgeon, one step further, they know about what you have to readmit the patient, as long as we are a game plan for dealing with a slippage, if we go backwards, then we could be more aggressive in loosening up america. David ahead of World Health Organization was late to recognize urgency of the crisis, he seemed to be too fore giving of china forgiving of china, that may be a political reason to get into later. But he said it will get worse in United States before it gets better. What do you think of his role and prognostication. World Health Organization in faifairness to them have a difficult task, wrangling Different Countries with different agendas. The g20, have to play a bigger role finishly in some of their initiatives. But we is right well have more people die, and more people diagnosed, that does not take a Rocket Scientist to figure it out. Question is, are the kinds of case wer were see reflective f past errors or people making a mistake is social distancing or the fact that the pa pandemic is overwhelming our system. We have to look at to we have enough beds and ventilators and masks for the staff. That is why today is about supporting states in trouble, Governor Cuomo said, watch and learn from what were doing and take cautionary notes about things that are not happening in new york it could happen in your state. If we allow california and new york to fix the problems and washington state, then we avoid similar crisis in other states that would be fabulous for all of us. David dr. Oz, a final question, have you seen a national a International Organization of expertise and real medical jenious, not t medical genius and entrepreneurs and companies, thinking of ways to come up with the respiratories and things like that, i never seen an organization like the one we have. I have not. It gives you goose bumps and reasserts the remarkable capacity of america to mobilize. I wish it did not require a crisis for us to do this, but this is reassuring. David and miraculous some of the cures that are being come up with, and the new machines, et cetera, very encouraging, dr. Oz, always encouraging to talk with you thank you. Appreciate it. Take care, god bless you. David god bless you.
