Teleconference. The white house woking on new guidelines with those governors to put restart plans into operation. The cdc and fema reportedly coming up with recommendations. Advising states to come out of mitigation in a controlled way with robust Monitoring Systems in place to contain new cases and outbreaks. Adding leaders at all levels will need to prepare communities for occasionally returning to mitigation measures for a brief period to continue containing the disease. President trump is suggesting some states that are the least hard hit may be able to reopen by the end of the month and some perhaps sooner. President trump it will be very, very close maybe even before the date of may 1. So that will be for some states. Actually there are over 20 that are in extremely good shape. And we think well be able to get them open fairly quickly. Others will follow. The federal government will be watching them closely. And well be there to help. Lou the deadly wuhan virus that shut down much of america has now infected 2 Million People around the world and killed more than 133,000 others. In the United States the wuhan virus infected 619,000 americans. President trump made it clear he holds china on the World Health Organization responsible and there will be consequences. President trump announced the first of those of consequences. He ordered a freeze on the hundreds of millions of dollars the United States contributes peach year to the World Health Organization. The president says the group is implicit in its efforts to cover up responsibility for the pandemic for which the chinese are entirely responsible. President trump the w. H. O. Failed to investigate reports from china. There was credible information to suspect humantohuman transmission in december which should have spurred the w. H. O. To investigate immediately. Lou the decision to halt funding bringing howls of criticism from multinationals, billionaires, wall street and their lobbyists, the chamber of commerce and nancy pelosi who wrote this. Quote this decision is dangerous, illegal and will be swiftly challenged. Her comments he can coved by communist Chinas Foreign Ministry which demanded the United States evenestly fulfill their erestly fulfill their task to the w. H. O. This from the country that sustained a lie adding that the u. S. Military brought the deadly disease to china. Chinas lives have been oh fully exposed almost everyone in the world knows china lies and they are responsible for for 100,000 deaths. Communist Party Leaders covered up the contagion for a week and the contagion was sweeping through huf hubei province. It took six more days for the leader to warn people of the outbreak. During those six days a banquet was held in with you than. How deadly was that. The university of South Hampton in the u. K. Filed a report that showed chinas coverup caused 95 of the worlds cases. That coverup lasts much longer than six days. Its also significant that the radical dimms and the leftwing media have spent the majority of tear time criticizing President Trump and his handling of the coronavirus epidemic. They have nothing to say about the origin of the virus in chain a or of the coverup by with the Chinese Government. Cnn had to change a story on their website that cited a media outlet controlled by the chinese 0 government. The headline was chinas pla navy proves it, report says. That sounded have much like propaganda. After they were called out cnns new headline read Chinese State media claims countrys navy is not affected by the coronavirus. At least they have changed it. Joining us tonight is peter navarro. Hes assistant to the president. The president s trade czar and member of the president s Coronavirus Task force and the president appointed him as point man to enforce the defense production act. Lets start with the World Health Organization. You could almost triangulate who is supporting who and the chinese alignment and the president. They diverge rather dramatically, dont they . That was one of the best summaries of the implication of the World Health Organization and the slaughter of tens of thousands of people around the world. The two days that stick out for meet, january 14, the day the chinese dell dwaition came here to shake our hands and sign a trade deal it was the same day the World Health Organization was denying humantohuman transmission even though taiwan told them there was evidence of that two weeks earlier. March 11 is the date when the World Health Organization declared a Global Pandemic after more than a hundred countries already had infection. You know and i know it was because china was able to exert pressure on their puppet at the w. H. O. , tedros. Whats puzzling to me is how the likes of the cnn and msnbcs could get in bed with that. This one of the worst cases i have seen of an International Organization not meeting its responsibility. There is blood on their hands. It would be nice if this country were united on that because the evidence is overwhelming. Lou the evidence is overwhelming, and the absurdity that the united nations, the World Health Organization were so late to take any action, responsible action. And now we are hearing from a number of people who are part of if you will the International MedicalPublic Health government Public Health agencies. They are clamoring for the president to restore funding to just ignore all that has transpired the past three months, whether it be the actions of china in unleashing this pandemic on the world or the World Health Organization doing so pitifully little for others around the world. Lou, one of the things that troubles me the most is while china was hiding behind the shield of the World Health Organization, not letting the world know the seriousness of this. It was going systematically around the world vacuuming up all the personal protective equipment that people would need to defend themselves. They bought 2 billion masks between january 24 and the end of february alone. You and i both know that that kind of thing is tragic by historic proportions. For anybody to defend the w. H. O. s actions in this, its really troubling. Any american would support that. You have to look at the facts and rise above this partisan bickering that is so common in the middle of this crisis on the left. Lou the left is attacking the president , thats been their method of operation from the very beginning of the trump presidency, and as we well know for months and months before he was elected. I dont know that we should expect a change. But one can do this. That is what the president has done. I dont think there are many leaders who would have had his quick or capacity to do so to actually defund. Put on hold funding of the World Organization and hold it up to the World Community for what it is. Its a political organization, five of the top positions have been operatives of either the chinese directly or the client states of the chinese. This has to change. Lou, the u. N. Has 15 specialized agencies. Five of those are directly controlled by the chinese or a Chinese National at the head of those. Then they control to proxies like the w. H. O. Even though china wants to be part of the international community. It doesnt want to obey the rules in the international community. We cannot afford another mistake by the World Health Organization in this pandemic because every mistake they make is going to lead to more death or disease. The evidence is overwhelming. And anybody in america who objects to this decision by the president really needs to do a deep think on this and look at the data. This is unacceptable. They hid the truth from the world. People died. Lou absolutely. And this is a clear, clear basis for reform for the way in which we conduct this country. This is not in my opinion about the way others behave. Other countries are led. They are what they are. They are headed in the direction they are. There is very little we can do about that. We can change the direction of this country as the president demonstrated for the first three years of his presidency. We can restore not only independence in energy, we can at the same time we can be independent in our supply lines and supply chains throughout asia, and indeed of course china itself first and foremost. We are so dependent it isnt just about medical supplies or medical equipment. Its about pharmaceutical intermediates. Whether its india or china. It doesnt matter much. We need to be in possession of those critical, strategic, significant products and services. Its a tragedy to offshore our jobs in things like Machine Tools in electronics and autos. What we lose there is our Manufacturing Base and our jobs and wages. When you offshore medical supplies and equipment you also lose lives. Thats what we are learning in this pandemic. The degree to which we have offshored all that is astonishing. Here at the white house, across the street i am spending all my time trying to ensure weve have what weve need to get the equipment we need and the medicine to the people of america. Its been an eye opener to see how spread out our supply chains are across the globe. Honeywell opened the smithedfield factory to open masks. Yesterday gm was able from start to finish repurpose an auto factory in kokomo, indiana. And we are rolling those into gary and chicago. This what this country is capable of. I couldnt be more proud of this president. Lou the fact is he is the difference for this country and the direction we take. I think most people are beginning to understand that in this country, those who havent already figured it out, that he is the right leader in the right place at the right time for this nation. Peter navarre so, thanks for all you are doing. We appreciate it. Good to see you. Testing for the wuhan virus. They have declined 30 in the past week. Why is that . Is it good news or bad news. The Laboratory Association said the testing fell from 108,000 to 75,000. The cdc guidelines prioritized hospital patients and healthcare workers. But the cdc testing is up to states individual medical departments or physicians. Is it dropping for something we dont understand . Right now its the latter. The National Left wing media trumpeting headlines on a hydroxychloroquine study that cast doubt on treating the wuhan virus. One study in china looked at 150 patients. The drug did not cure them of the virus but did alleviate their symptoms. A study in france you found no difference between patients who took the drug and those who didnt within a week of being admitted to the hospital. What does that mean . Todays headlines, the hyped malaria pill doesnt help clear coronavirus in study. And on cnn, french study finds hydroxychloroquine doesnt help patients with coronavirus. But 160 patients who were cleared of the virus in 10 days isnt temperature the headlined. Slate writes the trumpian french doctor behind the chloroquine hype. The daily beast. Meet the b. S. Artist behind trumps miracle drug. Joining us to take that up and more. Doctor, good to have you back with us. First your reaction to the divergence of headlines whether you are left or right in the country or for that matter in the world. I am stunned that we have politicized medicine. You would think in the medical community we would aggrieve the facts will win the day. As you point out, it gets stunningly more diverse. I wish his drug hydroxychloroquine had never been mentioned by the president. It has been around since 1955 and loved by many. We havent actually done the clinical trial. I had the chief investigator on my show today. Im trying to pull the oars with him. But this report from china. I was surprised when i got the headline. Its pretty clear. The researchers had 150 patients. They didnt give the pills until 17 days after symptoms. And they stopped the study prematurely because they wanted others to see it because there was a significantly improvement in symptoms a and the block markers for the c reaction advertised protein were improved. There was no improvement in the viral mode of the patients. But i care about symptoms and so do most doctors. They are saying maybe one of the ways hydroxychloroquine works is by changing how the inflammatory process responds to the virus. By preventing it from overreacting it can help patients feel better, recover quicker, and it might explain other symptoms found in a trial in china show can the ct scan images improved and they got symptomatically better. Why would you ignore that . There was another randomized study that didnt show a benefit. The french study was given to people who are very, very, very ill. But i am not sure we would begin hyping the truth. It is what it is. Present the obvious reef at. If you just quote the researchers on this shanghai study, its effort what they are saying. This is not a panacea. It didnt clear the virus. But we like it so much we think it needs to be investigated more. Here, world, here is our data. People were opining saying this proves we shouldnt look any further. Im rooting for people to feel better and get better. Wouldnt you want to root for that . Lou there were so many casers of people so many cases of people improving. Your chest is filled with fluid and you cant breathe. One of the things this drug does, apparently is relieve those symptoms. Thats a marvelous thing if the drug did only that. Thats the way a lot of people where dying. We wont know for sure until we finish our trial. I was with the governor of south dakota. We have americans trying to figure this out. In the meantime why would you be dissing a medicine that might help. You introduce a sense of suspicion and subterfuge. let the doctors reef view of the data instead of making it sounds like this stuff is toxic and you shouldnt trite. Lou what you are talking about, the duplicity and the deceit in the national media. These arent just random headlines. Its a clear delineation between the left and right, and also between objective journalism and at best you could call it advocacy journalism. Its propaganda in many respects. But thats happening throughout our society whether its medicine, business or politics. And we are involved in this pandemic. We are looking at reaching we hope this week a peak, some sort of peak in the progress of the disease, and perhaps soon thereafter a plateau or hopefully a decline. Where do you think we are . What is your assessment . I am intrigued the testing dropped 30 . One of the reasons that may be happening is less people are feeling ill and seeking treatment. And we have been encouraging physicians not to send patients because we didnt have fluff. Now we have enough tests we should free it up to get people tested. They shouldnt have to hold back like they did in the past. I did a fascinating interview with the governor of georgia. Governor kemp. Georgia has become the Technology Center of the country. They are going to take care of the first responders. The ones who did not get to go home. The Atlanta Police development, he was president bushs head of security on 9 11, and he was at the school. Hes rolling out the idea. Dont take away the freedom of anybody. First responders if you are feeling symptoms. Well get you a test. It tells you where to go, how to get there, and tells you what to do if you test positive. How do we make sure you are informed so you dont run away from information that should shed a light. This is one of the reasons the state has done a good job handling this virus. Many of the Police Departments are ravaged with infection. We are not taking away civil liberties, we are letting technology with testing move us forward. This is about data. Not dates. We need the data to support the opening and make a good decision. Abbott is going to start making about a million antibody kits this month. We can begin to figure out who had the virus. I am of the belief there may be a lot more people who have been ill enough, sick so they suspect something, but not enough to do anything about it. Or never knew they were ill but still had covid19. If that number of is large it gives us more confidence moving forward. Lou i agree with you, a number of physicians and Health Officials im talking to are suspicious of what you expressed, there is a broader asymptomatic population in the country that perhaps dont know they had it. Anyway, well hope that everyone is asymptomatic in this country very soon. Business records for the Chinese Company show hunter biden is still a board member. Bidens Attorney Says this about that report and those who are reporting that his names still attached to the company. Hunter biden resigned from the board of directors in october 2019. He has not been on the board since then. Period. This data base will be updated when there tase replacement for the board seat hunter biden left vacant when he resigned in october. Thats one of the most peculiar explanations i have heard. China rising. Using the pandemic to gain power. china pushing for a health silk road. An extension of chinas the tbeflt road initiative. Joining us tonight to take all of this you have. Gordon chang, senior fellow at the gatestone institute. You were following this case long before people were calling it a pandemic. We know now that the chinese were covering up from the moment that the respiratory disease or novel pneumonia was present in wuhan. We are also looking at a World Health Organization as you and i have discussed numerous times that is being influenced by its just too gentle an expression. Its being one by the ccp, isnt it . It certainly is. Chinas two main initiatives. One was to say this disease was not transmiserable human to transmiserable humantohuman. But they might traws with transmissable human to human. The w. H. O. Backed them you have on the chinese leaders did not want restrictions or quarantines. So the w. H. O. Issues its statement supporting chinas decision. And the w. H. O. Expressed confidence in chain stas death and infection chinas death and infection numbers. The w. H. O. Helped spread this disease outside chinas borders. Lou now the World Health Organization, the president ordering a pause in their funding, a 90day freeze, if you will. Is it sufficient to hold up their funding to end the u. S. Funding of the World Health Organization . Or are there reforms that would make the w. H. O. Palatable . The one thing that has to be done, lou. Dr. Tedros, the head of the w. H. O. His number of two and perhaps a fair amount of the Senior Leadership including Chinese Nationals must resign. If they dont do that, the w. H. O. Is not going to function well. I know there are a lot of great doctors and great professionals in the w. H. O. They do fantastic work. But the Senior Leadership nullifies that work. We learned that monday when a senior w. H. O. Doctor talked about this in public at a press briefing where she says she knew of this was humantohuman transmiserable when she first heard about it. But her conclusions were ignored by Senior Leadership. Antijuan expressed their the conclusion that it was human to human in transmission. That leadership has to go. Lou its chinese leadership. And the chinese are going to the be fight that. They are aligned with the left on many issues, obviously after he whrientd chinese, the communist Chinese Government against our own. This seems to me to be one of those turning points in american history. Will we or will we not be a sovereign nation protecting and preserving and defending our values and interests or will we accede to the left, leave borders open, unguard, and let china dominate the world . President trumps decision yesterday to chief fund this is to dee to defund this f the most courage owfs courageous decision of any president. If you dont do it now, when do you do it . We cannot afford this malign and malicious and incompetent and terrible leadership at the w. H. O. While this Global Pandemic continues. We need to clean out the top layer of the w. H. O. So we can allow the bottom layer, the doctors and professionals to do their job. Right now they cant do that. Lou the United States needs a far stronger representation within the w. H. O. Weve spend 10 times as much as the chinese contribute to the w. H. O. Its time to start standing up and putting america first, whether its the w. H. O. Or on our borders or in our Business Community that offshored and outsourced so many millions of jobs and production to china and around the world. It is a point of decision for the United States. Gordon chang thanks for being with us. Good to see you. Thank you, lou. Lou we would like to hear your thoughts on all of this. Share your comments. Follow me on twitter loudobbs, like me own facebook and follow me on instagram love you dobbs tonight. We thank you for being with us tonight, and stay with us. We are aware thing the president and his Coronavirus Task force. They will be delivering their Daily Briefing from the rose garden. Imagine this, nevertrumper justin amash wants to waste his money and run against the president. Hes such a likeable and decent fellow, isnt he . You wouldnt accept an incomplete job from anyone else. Why accept it from your allergy pills . Flonase sensimist. Nothing stronger. Nothing gentler. Nothing lasts longer. Flonase sensimist. 24 hour nondrowsy allergy relief that Liberty Mutual customizes your insurance, i just love hitting the open road and telling people so you only pay for what you need [squawks] only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Lou never trumper former republican justin amash says hes thinking of running for president. Why wouldnt he. Hes a lousy congressman. Why not run for president. The michigan congressman announced he will soon be making a decision. Thats why we are lefting you know. This is very important about his bid for the white house. In midfebruary he paused his campaign for reelection to consider whether to run for president. Byron york joins us. Lets start with the big news of the day. Justin amash is awash in ambition and wants to be president. Now well find out if hes going to run. You cover him and so many others. He strikes me well, how does he strike you . Big news. Hes a libertarian. And libertarians are often at odds both with republicans and democrats. The important thing about what hes saying even though we can make fun of it, a libertarian always runs in a president ial election and over case alley gets a half percent. Justin amash is from michigan and President Trumps margin in michigan with us very narrow in 2016. There are going to be people, perhaps never trump republicans or democrats who will be happy if justin amash were to run for president because they think he might take just enough votes away to damage the president if things are really close. Lou that doesnt make him a libertarian. That makes him a spoiler. He strike me as a thattive d asy fellow from afar. He seems like such a negative force all into himself. He doesnt get along with anyone. You say hes a libertarian. Whats he ever done . Some would say not getting along with anyone is a characteristic of libertarians. There has often been a conflict in the past between conservatives and libertarians. They are kind of together on the same team and kind of not together on the same team. But they vote no on most things, including things republicans support. Amash does not have a good record accomplishment. Not many members of congress do. Lou dont tell me they all do it. Im saying this man is guilty of doing nothing. I never heard his name attached to a single positive accomplishment of any kind. I would like you to correct the record for me and tell me im wrong. Im tired of people coming out of that cesspool of a swamp and saying they are going to run for president without any standing what so other than bizarre political theories, philosophies and generally intellectual laziness of the highest order. He is amongst those. This is all antitrumpism. Justin amash left the republican party, and the reason we are talking about this right now is because as you know the president the other day said he had the Sole Authority to start the restart of the economy. Although he was going to do it with governors, justin amash felt this was such a bad thing to say and authoritarian thing to say that he renewed speculation that he might run for president. Lou you are telling me, a libertarian, whose basic philosophy end up with simply a distancing from individual responsibility for any one e or anything beyond their existence. You are saying that person is the arbiter of deciding what is effective government . I dont remember a libertarian say we shouldnt be spending this money to save lives. We should not be continuing over government money to create a vaccine, that we should just come on. This is an absurd political philosophy in moments of crisis and nationality emergency or war. There have been libertarians that didnt want the federal government to spend money on anything. Lou but amash didnt say a word is what im saying. Hes completely out of touch with what is going on now. But hes just a member of Congress Talking about running for president. We already had joe walsh. We had joe walsh try to challenge President Trump. We had bill weld the former governor of massachusetts. It hadnt worked. So this is note going to do any different. Lou you are holding a bright shiny object to divert us from the fact that we have the most effective president in my opinion hes the greatest president we have ever had. His accomplishments are extraordinary and we have to little to twiddle dee and twiddle um. You put together the causal relationship here. Hes antitrump and therefore the left will love him to death. He will be useful to them. If the elect is close. Lou useful idiot is the expression, i believe. Democrats were very angry in 2016 with jill stein who got some votes they thought might otherwise have gone to Hillary Clinton and made the difference in the elect. This is what small fringe candidates do. Im not saying justin aman is going to run for president. Lou what about gary johnson. I havent looked at this in a long time. As i recall, gary johnson got in some cases 4 of the vote or something approaching that. And he would have made a difference in five or six states. This is again this isnt about fringe candidate. Its part of the never trump resistance and hes no better than that or no worse than that. Though he probably you have as no program of any kind. It is about hurting trump. Him being from michigan make it about hurting trump in a crucial state. There is no doubt about it. Im not convinced hes actually going to do this. He would have to get a minimal amount of money to mount a small campaign. Remember in 06 there were all in 2016 there were all sorts of schemes on the right to stop trump. Evan mcmullin, and if there were a tie in the electoral college, he would win utah. There is going to be the same sort of thing this year. Lou what was that name you mentioned . Evan mcmullin. Lou its one preposterous character after another. The only thing that gives them life is the motivation and the bias of the National Leftwing media. Without the leftwing media and their interest in being never trumpers and resistance and whatever, they wouldnt have any political life or attraction whatsoever. I think you would agree. Your sense of where we are. This is a president who is getting much done. Succeeding just as he has on he other challenge against this outbreak, this pandemic. Your thoughts politically, what the democrats are doing when nancy pelosi says she wont return congress until may 4 unless there is a national emergency, utterly disregarding the pandemic and the lives being lost in this country. A few minutes ago she said on another network that President Trumps desire to restart the economy was almost sinful. How the president comes out of this will depend on how this comes out. If in fact what we hope is happening, that is, we reached some sort of peak and not that we plateau, but that we go down. And things get better and the economy can start on this rolling basis. Not a one size fits all situation there, hundreds and hundreds of places in the United States that have very little problem if they are careful. If we can do that, trump will come out of this and it will be fine. And a lot of the controversies the last two weeks will not be potent electoral issues. But if it continues. If the problems continue be. If the economic effect is absolutely devastating and it continues into the fall. Thats a difficult situation for the incoming president. Lou it would be difficult. I agree. But i think it would be inhe can applicable that the American People wouldnt understand causeeffect relationships in the pandemic and economic decline. The president as you see is stepping out. Thank you for being with us. Wife ron york. The Corona Task Force is in place. President trump a big day at the white house. All of American Society is even gained and mobilized in the war against the invisible enemy. While we must remain vigilant its clear our aggressive strategy is work and strongly working i might add. New cases are declining throughout the new york metropolitan area. In detroit and metro the cases are flat. Washington, d. C. , baltimore, philadelphia and st. Louis are showing signs of progress and houston and new orleans are chief cleaning. The data suggests nationwide we passed the peak on new cases. Hopefully that will continue and well continue to make great progress. These even counseling developments have put us in a in a very strong position to finalize guidelines for the states in reopening the country. Well be having a News Conference tomorrow. Sometime during the afternoon we will be announcing guidelines. And well be talking about various states. And its very exciting. Its been a horrible time to see such death and destruction. Especially when you come out of what was the greatest economy in the history of the world. The greatest. There has never been an economy other than what we produced. But well produce it again. The medical and healthcare advances we made or critical to our continued progress. We rapidly developed the most expansive and accurate testing system anywhere in the world and completed. 3 million tests completed 3. 3 million tests. We authorized 48 coronavirus tests. And the fda is working with 300 labs and companies to widen our capacity even further. Abbott labs developed an Antibody Test that will determine whether somebody has been previously infected with the coronavirus and developed immunity. Its a great test. The company says these tests could screen up to 20 Million People in a mat be available to screen up to 0 Million People in a matter of weeks. Through project air bridge which mass been an amazing success. We completed 44 flights of very, very large airplanes. Massive cargo planes. 44 flights of critical supplies as of today and 56 flights scheduled in the near future. We have some brilliant people work on this. Its logistically incredible what they have done. We have been working on this with the military. The genius of all of them together has been incredible to watch. In total through all channels the federal government developed and delivered 39. 4 million n95 gloves. 41 million gloves. And 10. 2 million gowns. We ordered 500 million masks. They will be coming shortly. And we distributed 100 million masks. Following our use of the defense production tact gm announced its first ventilators come off the after he acceptably line in kokomo, indiana. They did the in 11 days from start to finish. A testament to the ingenuity of the american worker. Gm will ship 600 ventilators this month alone with thousands more to come. We have more companies doing something similar. There is a belief clip from General Motors and i think they want to play that for your benefit. Please. [ ] f President Trump i know you got a little bit nervous. What they have done in a short period of time. They are making thousands of convenient rrs and they are coming out of the factory rapidly. These are highgrade ventilators. At this moment nobody needs them. We have to remember during the surge Nobody Needed them for weeks. But we had them for stockpiles. Well have them for other countries. Nobody is able to do things like we can do. Well be able to help other countries that are having tremendous problems. My administration is using every available authority to accelerate the development, study and delivery of therapies. So important. Therapies. Treatments and ultimately we want to come up with a safe vaccine. But to me the therapies are the most important because it takes care of people right now. The vaccines have to be tested so it takes a longer period of time. We have Great Potential therapies and well see how they are working. Well be able to report on that the next week or two. 35 Clinical Trials of promising therapies are under way. 35 genius companies. If you look at aids or ebola, they have come up. Were very honored to be working with them. They include antivirals and also, something which is incredible, keeps the virus from multiplying, a mechanism that keeps the virus from multiplying. Immune therapies that prevent the immune search over reaching to the virus. Convalescent plasma treatments that use antibodies from the brood of recovered patients. We have a lot of patients that recovered, theyre so happy to recovered, the first thing they do they want to by their blood and they do that. It is incredible. We have thousands of people that recovered. They feel they have an obligation because they got great care a lot of theme feel they wouldnt have made it. As the entire Government Works to combat the Global Pandemic. It is absolutely essential that key agencies are fully staffed. I will not allow that to take place through our congress. They are not giving it to us. We have many, many positions are unstaffed because we cant get approvals. The democrats are holding us up, we cannot get approval. We have gotten judges because we to through the process. I guess were up to 448 federal judges. And that weve gotten because we focus on it. We take the maximum time because no matter who the judge is they take vast numbers of days and hours to approve them. Leaves no time left for others. Very unfair system. If a judge is going to be approved in one hour in one session it, doesnt matter. They will take the maximum number of hours and days, talking about days to get one judge approved. We are close to 250 judges but, because of the way theyre doing it, there is no time for anybody else. Many of these people have been waiting for 2 1 2 years. We have a couple that have been waiting for longer than that. Theyre currently 129 nominees stuck in the senate because of partisan obstruction. Many are nominated for vacancies that must be filled to assist with the Coronavirus Crisis and the resulting economic challenges. I read over the couple of years, well, i didnt fill positions. I didnt fill positions, in some cases we dont need the position, im all for that but in many cases you do but we cant get them approved by the democrats. They wont release them. The positions include the director of national intelligence, two members of the Federal Reserve board of governors, the assistant secretary of treasury for Financial Markets of the United States. And the undersecretary of agriculture responsible for administering Food Security programs and sonny perdue, who will be speaking today, saying please, can i have this man . Can i have this particular person approved as soon as possible . He has been telling me that for a long time and democrats wont allow it. Lou that is it for us tonight.
