the way. this is not about left and right, it's not about your feelings, it's about being ready. we have no more time. it is time for us to demand actions and act ourselves. to the as ever as one. let's get after it. >> i should have a big headline for you. i should be telling you right now the federal government is finally addressing our greatest need with its biggest weapon, calling on businesses to make the ppe that the people on the front line needs, the protective wear, to make the ventilators. this is a war and that's how we got ahead of the enemy in world war ii. so what do we know? the president calls on gm to partner with a tech company to make 100,000 ventilators. great. but then gm and ventech, the other company, say they haven't been told anything. what does the president have to say? did he clarify it? are we going to get the moment of truth we need? here's what we got. >> we thought we had a deal with, as example, general motors and i guess they thought otherwise and they didn't agree. now they do, they do agree. i think we might be able to pull it but we let them know the way we felt and they can't be doing that. >> what does that even mean? why can't this president build up our defenses with the urgency he showed in building his wall? his response, we're doing great, we're good on the ppe. i don't think states look new york really need what they say they need. really? those are his feelings. let's bring in new york state health department commissioner howard zucker. good to have you on the show, doc. >> good to be here. you don't need the ventilators and the ones you had in the beginning you put them in a warehouse. do you accept that? >> we don't accept that. we're very concerned about patients who are becoming critically ill and are critically ill and worried about those that are critically ill. it all about the ventilators when it comes to the hospital. >> yeah, but you don't need them now. when you get really sick, come to me and you'll get the ventilato ventilators. >> new yorkers are sick. we're working night and day to get the surprise they need. as you know, when someone is critically ill and they're in the hospital and in an intensive care unit, the ventilator will help save their life. so we need the ventilators. we're looking far and wide for as many as we can find. >> what happens if you were to delay the ask until the need was imminent? >> that would not be a wise approach. the government has taken the approach we need to be pro active, address these issues up front, get the supplies we need. what's the worst that happens? we have some extra ventilators. give them to the next state who would need them. but right now the last thing i want to do is get caught behind the eight ball in many ways. >> just so the audience understands, i am telling you right now in this conversation what the president has been saying. here are his own words. >> don't forget, we sent thousands of ventilators to new york and they didn't know they got them. so we sent thousands of ventilators to new york and they didn't know about it at the time they were complaining. thousands. we had 2,000 and then 2,000 and then 4,000. >> is any of that true? >> it's not true. we knew the ventilators arrived and we need more ventilators. it just the beginning of addressing the problem that we have. we have patients in hospitals all across the lower part of new york state and i suspect as this progresses to other parts of the state and we are behind on the ventilators. that's why we're looking for as many as we can get both from the federal government and from elsewhere. >> so you knew that the ventilators had come and you had them in a warehouse because you were being ready to deploy them. he made it sound like he gave you about 8,000. >> no, 4,000 were given to us and we are deploying those ventilators to hose who need it. i have received many calls from hospital presidents including today saying we need more ventilators. we hear about the patients who show up in the emergency room, we see the numbers as they have been rising. we need to address this and we need to address it now and we're doing that but we need to provide the ventilators for those patients. >> another story that hasn't been really well told and i kind of blame myself for that because i don't know how many reporters knew this truth as well as i do. what is it like for you to go on the open market and get ppe, the protective equipment that people like? what kind of things are you encountering in trying to source, purchase and take delivery of masks, gowns, gloves, protective footwear, advi visors, et cetera? >> we are working with many vendors. there are many creative solutions, there are ways to spray masks to use them. we're looking a what the other supply chains we can get for some of these protective equipment. i recognize the doctors and nurses, all the health professionals on the front line we need to protect them and make sure they are healthy and able to take care of the patients who are lying in those beds and that's the only way we're going to get them better and it's the most important approach that we have. >> but isn't it true because the federal government hasn't triggered the manufacturing act and we're not making these things for yourselves that you guys are constantly in bidding wars against other countries and states and prices are going up like it's the last bottle of water in a drought? >> governor cuomo called upon the president, days now, probably weeks to implement the defense production act, look at this as if it were a war, which is it a war against the virus and tab the approake the approas had to fight to activate the defense production act, help the people in new york and across the country. >> i just want people to know you've got states competing against one another right now and they're getting bid up. prices are going up a thousand percent for masks and gowns because the need is so heavy. it literally state versus state and you are often losing things if you don't have tens of millions of dollars to spend in the next 30 minutes. is that not the reality? >> i think we are trying to work together in this area, new york, new jersey, connecticut, the governor has called the tristate area to work together to address this challenge. we need more supplies. we need more supplies whether it's the protective equipment, the ventilator, whether it's also specific medications. we need the supplies. that's how you tackle a problem up front and be pro active on addressing things. >> so, commissioner, last night on the show, as you know, we had mar mariah, who is the sister of kyiouk kel kyious, kelly. he believe he one of the nurses who has succumbed. it raised concerns about him and bringing him home. i want to remind people about what his sister said. >> even now i don't know where he is. i don't know where his body is. i don't know -- we don't know what's happening entirely. >> and i also promise you that anything that i can do to help your family get closure with locating your brother and figuring out how you bring him home and whatever your family wants to do, i will do whatever i can. good news is i didn't have to do anything. you guys were monitoring what was being said last night, you learned about the situation. what is the status of kyious kelly now and his family's wishes? >> we heard about that. i spoke with his parents. it's a very sad -- when i heard that, just the fact that anyone who passes away from this but a nurse, someone who has been out there, taking care of others who were sick, it really hits home as a health professional, as a doctor, i know what nurses do. i spoke to his parents this morning and again this afternoon and we are working to have his body brought back home to the state of michigan and i think the way that we could pay tribute to mr. kelly and all that he did, all that he gave and to give the ultimate sacrifice of his own life is to stay home, to make sure that we are staying home, preventing this virus from spreading, flatten whying thing that curve think that's how we pay tribute to him. >> it was good of you to give the dignity of his family to be able to bring him home. the people who fall on the front lines deserve that kind of deference. just like with our soldiers abroad, we make sure they're brought home so their family can get closure. i know it means a lot for them, economi commissioner howard zucker. let us know what you need so we can get the word out. >> new yorkers are very generous of heart and they've been very creative to finding solutions to things and it makes me very proud to be a neworker and the generosity does stop from the top from your government, your brother, and i appreciate your show. >> we'll see how he does over time. doctor, thank you for being here tonight. i appreciate it. >> the battle is ramping up. it's not just about new york. new york has always been the future for everywhere else. you're seeing it on the west coast, you're seeing it in louisiana. in california a big dose of help arrived today while a new rule just went out after people were ignoring the warnings about risky behavior. we're going to check in with the mayor of los angeles. he's got an update about a big surge in cases and what they believe is behind it next. can my side be firm?

horse. that's my boy. eyes are now shifting from the state of new york, which is currently the national epicenter, and why? it's a big population, it's a travel hub, a lot of density so it has a lot going against it. it's not unique. we know because we're watching the spread in realtime, started in washington, now it's back over here. los angeles's mayor says california is the next new york, and he's also our next guest. mayor eric garcetti, it's great to see you as always. i'm sorry it for this reason. i really wish, brother, you were coming on to say we got a handle, we learned something, we got a trick but it's the opposite. how is it going for you and what do you blame? >> well, we're strong, we're steeled and we're scared. i think that we look at the numbers, we do the calculations and whether it's a week or two away and today we had a smaller increase than yesterday, which was a 50% plus increase in a single day. we know those numbers line up per capita where new york was. it isn't just new york and los angeles and seattle. per capita wyoming is where los angeles is, north dakota is where los angeles is. you can go almost anyplace and these numbers aren't an if, it's a when for all of us. so i'm just glad that we enacted measures early but it will take ten or 12 days before we see that impact. i am impressing on everybody. stay home this weekend, we closed the beaches, the hiking trails. those things that are l.a. but it's so l.a. can rise again one day in the future. >> mr. mayor, is it just the lag or are people being a little lapse in terms of following the directives? >> no, i think it's the lag and the tests on average in this country are sometimes five to seven days. so what you're seeing is only the diagnosed cases and you're seeing a week ago. if we want to know where we are today, we'll know in a few days. i've ramped up testing just paid for by the city, drive through centers, four, we just opened up the fifth. i announced an historic agreement with ups where they'll drop off tests, pick them up and we need to know so we can chase down the cases we have while there's time. this has been marvelously embraced by 99% of the people. but we're going to hunt down the last one percent and say you got to get inside, you got to cut it out and distance. >> you have the u.s. navy ship "mercy" coming. it's a very impressive vessel. it going to take non-covid patients to clear space. in terms of federal help, what happened tonight that it looked like they had a deal with gm but the president doesn't sound like they have a deal. the white house has a deal, gm says they don't know. how important is it for the federal government to get into the ppe/ventilator making business? >> we need leadership across the country. it's not just a federal issue but the feds should be the ones coordinating this. it's like a dog eat dog, zero sum game out there. your brother's talked about it. we have a contract, the check is cut and got it do and somebody says, sorry, the 100,000 masks are going to fema. that said the federal government came through big, i'm wearing my navy pin and i boarded the "mercy" years ago and is decreasing by two-thirds the hospital beds. it's a huge help. we keep thanking the president and vice president that congress finally got the package done, though i agree with leader pelosi we need to think about a fourth one. we're not going to mince words. we need more ventilators, more equipment, more help. so far now the calls that we're putting out there at least on the big items are starting to get answered and that is great for america. >> what's your speculation, if you guys have to keep doing it on the own market, do you are think you're going to get where you need to be or do you think the federal government has to get more involved and have factories start making this stuff? >> we're going to all be so overwhelmed, it should be an all of the above strategy. i don't care if you're a rampant capitalist and you want everything to come from the private sectors, good. if you're a rampant socialist and you want government to take care of it, ramp that up, too. we're still going to fall short. we know we're not going to get to 100% but the closer we get to 100% could be your husband, your wife, your father, your mother. this is what this is about. and the human cost of this i don't think has started to hit people. in new york it has but we're all going to know somebody who falls victim to this. we're going to look back at this moment and our kids and grand kids are going to say what did you do specifically but also what did america do and who was this country? and this is the moment to define that by throwing aside the things that would divide us and say everybody's got to do whatever they can. fed's got to do better, private sector better, the local and state level better, we all have to continue pushing. >> just to be clear, you're not just worried about how long or how much money, you're worried about how many people are going to lose their lives to this virus? >> no question. that's the worst part of my day when i sit down with my data team, talking with doctors and professionals and we start trying to plan for low, medium, high and worst case scenarios. each one of them has a number of how many will die as a result of covid-19. it's a fact of this disease. anybody who doesn't want to confront those numbers isn't looking at what's happening around the world. i want to look one day and say we did something to make sure it was at the lower end of that rather than the higher. >> americans have to learn we are not special when it comes to being vulnerable to this virus. we are special, though, in our ability to come together to fight it. mayor eric garcetti, you will always have a forum here to tell people about the situation where you are. >> thank you. god bless you. strength and love. >> well said. white house health experts are concerned that chicago may be the nation's next los angeles. why? we're going to talk with a member of a family that's been devastated by this tragedy in illinois. these stories are hard to hear but you must. loved ones like are coming forward so you don't have to live their pain. next. because through good times or bad...when you take care of people first... ...the rest will follow.

>> thank you, chris. we're getting by. we're doing what we can, just doing the best we can do. >> how do you make sense of having two of your own taken from something that was supposed to be able to deal with, you know, it's not supposed to happen like this. were they compromised in a way? were they vulnerable? >> well, the first sister, patricia, she was compromised and vulnerable. and when she called and told us that she had some breathing issues, it's not something we hadn't heard before. so we didn't think too much of it, especially covid-19 since it wasn't widespread at the time. but she was vulnerable and her death, while tragic, is just devastating for us. on the same day we learned of her death, my other sister was checking herself into the e.r. for a cough that she had. and that one took us by surprise and she's a lot heathier. and just didn't expect her to go. >> we're showing pictures of them right now. they're beautiful, in the prime of life. what do you want us to know for why your sisters have to be remembered for more than just what took them? >> well, i think everybody who knew them will remember them for more than just what took them. they were absolutely beautiful women and it's strange because i come from a huge family, there were nine of us originally, eight living. well, six now. we were all extremely close. and although we fought, we got along great as adults. and their presence is just going to be missed so much. wand a was the party planner. she had so many friends that she just loved to give parties and invite people over to her husband. patricia loved to go to parties so it was just wonderful people who just did the best they could in life. >> one of the things that we all crave when we suffer a loss like this is to come together and to mourn and to remember and appreciate their lives. you're not going to get that chance the way you want it right now. how is that playing on your heart? >> that's tough. i think that's the toughest part. the toughest part of my sister's deaths is that they had to die alone in that hospital. it devastating to us that we couldn't go in to see them in their last moments. they weren't afraid of death but i think just dying alone is the worst thing that could have happened. but not being able to have a funeral for them, have a memorial service when we can all get back together again, that will bring some bit of closure, but right now all we can do is just facetime each other and give hugs over the phone. >> how are you keeping that smile on your face? >> because i know that they're in a better place. that's what they believed and that's what i'm going to choose to believe. i know that they lived a wonderful life. i have some great memories with them. and i'll always remember them and i just -- there's nothing else you can do but smile right now. i just remember them as wonderful, wonderful people. >> they went to church together. now hopefully they're together as well, seeing the fruit of their faith. but what a price to pay for one family and made so much harder by what you see as an inability to be with them but you know they weren't alone. they had their faith and they know they had the love of their family every step of the way. now you've got them in spirit to help you get through this and hopefully this will pass soon. richard, i am so sorry to have to have you tell this story. i wish there were any other reason to be talking to you. but it's important for people to take this seriously and no life can chang e in an instant more than once. >> definitely. one. best things i got a chance to say to them i love you to both of them. i didn't know it was going to be my last words but, yes. >> we can't say it enough that we love each other, need each other, care about each other. you may not be able to get together with family but you can tell them that, hug them with your heart. right now i'm giving you a hug as hard as i can. if there's anything i can do, we're a call a. y -- away. you know how to get us. please extend our regards to all the rest of your siblings. >> i will do that. thank you very much. >> listen, i don't know. i don't know how people do it. i don't know what i would do if i lost anybody in my family, let alone two. i guess you have to cope. the question is does any of this have to happen? we're tracking it from chicago to new jersey. another tight-knit family. they lost four family members to this, big italian family, the fuscos, remind me of where i grew up and then her sister gets her test back and she's positive. they have other family members in the icu. we'll give you an update next. i've always focused on my career, but when we found out our son had autism, his future became my focus. lavender baths always calmed him. so we turned bath time into a business... ♪ ...and building it with my son has been my dream job. ♪ at northwestern mutual, our version of financial planning helps you live your dreams today. find a northwestern mutual advisor at nm dot com. helps you live your dreams today. at t-mobile, we know that connection is more important than ever. we've increased network capacity, given more access to unlimited data. and provided free data for schools and students. visit t-mobile.com to learn more. you can also manage your account, make payments, and find t-mobile stores that are open near you. we've been asking, are you with us?

four of their family members died, including her mother and three siblings. she had two other siblings in the hospital on ventilators, they were waiting on tests, they all came back positive, including her own and her daughter. finally she had the strength to check in. here's elizabeth fusco. elizabeth, i have to say i am very happy to see you looking well. after i heard about you testing positive, i was so worried for you and it's been a few days. how are you doing? >> i'm doing well. i'm still not showing any symptoms, my daughter is not showing any symptoms. it a miracle all in itself. >> thank god for that. and we do hear the numbers that a lot of people are asymptomatic, but with what's going on in your family, we can't take anything for granted. as i remember, you said you had a particular worry about your daughter, right? >> yes. my daughter was born with congenital hernias. so she has a very compromised lung. her one long is like half the size. the other one is maybe three quarters of the size by now. all of her organs were moved around inside. it's a very rare thing that happens to children. but she only had a 3% chance of life coming out of my womb so it's surreal that she tested positive and she fought it. >> with everything your family has endured, it's good that you're getting a break. how does it stand in the wider family? how many people are still fighting this? what's the situation in what can you tell us? >> i can tell you that my sister antonia is home and looking very well. she made it home on friday. i do still have a sister and brother on a vent fighting very hard for us, and i'm sure the ones who have gone to heaven are watching over them and helping them immensely because they are fighting hard. >> are those the only two who are still sick? because i know that a lot of people had tests and a lot of them had come back positive. >> those are the only two still sick. and they are still both exactly where they were when this whole nightmare started. they are both still still on ventilator ventilators. one came home on ventilators and four are in heaven. >> i know that's still sinking in about your mom and your siblings. i know that still doesn't make a lot of sense but thank god for now the virus is leaving the rest of the family alone. the help you needed in getting tests after the first time we spoke and attention from the state, how does that stand now? are you getting the attention that you need? >> again, any time i message chris or his assistant jill, they're always there for me and anything we need and just calling to check up they knew tony was home before we made it public and jill would call and check on her and honestly like sincerely check on her, not just, hey, how's your sister doing? really care. do i still say that the hospitals need help, they are so short staffed. and it's rough on them. they need help because without them our loved ones do not -- no one's loved ones have a prayer. and they are still understaffed and they still don't have the right things they need. for this being america, this is not right. >> what are you hearing about how it is for your family members who are still in a hard way in the hospital? what's it like? what kind of scene is it like in there? >> we can't see them. we don't know. they are on ventilators so they are sedated. you don't know how your loved ones are in that sense. you truly have to trust and believe and we do, in the doctors and the nurses, right down to the respiratory therapist to everyone. i mean, can i tell you what my sister toni told me because she came out of there, everyone is just trying their hardest and working around the clock and she's being so loving and caring but they're tired and short staffed. >> they're doing the hardest job in the worst of circumstances. there are a the lo of horrible issues. it meant so much that your family when you spoke out with all the pain that you suffered, you still were talking about the needs of the people in the hospital and still bigger than yourselves in the way that your family, the fuscos was known for, all for the community. i don't want to take up all your time, you need your rest and your daughter needs rest and i just wanted to check in and that for now the family isn't having to deal with any more trauma. we'll keep checking in about your siblings in the hospital and you let me know anything you need. >> absolutely. thank you so. >> can you imagine losing anyone to a virus, two of your own siblings, four of your family members, including your mother, finding out you have it, your kid, who has an issue with her lungs and surviving and you look around at what's being done and it seems like everybody doesn't seem to get it. how frustrating. we all have to do more to fight this. there but for the grace, your mother, my mother, our families, the people we love. we can all do more. but it has come time to call out what is happening on high. i have an argument tonight that a lot of people aren't able to make, but i am and i will next. my psoriatic arthritis pain?

[woman laughs] in a world of doubt, here is a sure thing. if the federal government and the states don't get it together better, you will see sickness and death in this country like you never have before. and while there are a growing number of mayors and governors in need, there is one persistent problem at the top, trump. his two defining flaws are on flagrant display. they are literally making us sick. first, his ignorance. >> i have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they're going to be. i don't believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. >> he didn't feel. he doesn't believe. what about this. when you go to war, do you give troops what they need before they come under fire? yes, right? same with health care workers. they need the ppe now. they need the ventilators in their localities now so when they run out of either, there are more at the ready. either he doesn't get that, which speaks to a degree of ignorance that is more threatening anything covid-19 can do, or it is just his second defining flaw on display, his arrogance. >> all i want them to do is very simple. i want them to be appreciative. i say mike, dent call the governor of washington. you're wasting your time with him. don't call the woman in michigan. it doesn't make any difference what happens. if they don't treat you right, i don't call. >> no, you treat them right. our money, our government, our power. we gave it to you. we don't serve you. you serve us. we have the most cases in the worldwide because we have a big population, there is lots of density in place, and we have major foreign travel hubbs. but also because we've done the loews to stop the spread. and in large part, that's on trump. he slept on this. he lied about it. and now he is not doing enough. reopen by easter? that's not aspirational. it's asinine. no expert anywhere says anything like it. reassess the life limitations we're under now. maybe monday, tuesday i'll think about it. every state is extending. every world expert says we have to do more, not less. he needs time. the president should say himself what his fringe friends are saying. have you heard it? they're okay with a certain number of the frail and the greatest generation dying off to make the economy come back sooner. just say it. because they're saying it for you, and your actions show the same inclination. today he use his power with just one company. but then he says maybe he'll back out. and then he says he's not sure. states are competing with one another for ppe. prices are popping at a thousand%. why? because this president won't order companies to do what a real wartime president did in world war ii. now he tells one company, g.e., to start. after a week of people begging him to do it. then he walks it back. what the hell is going on? repeating the words of great leaders does not make you one. doing great things when it matters, that does. and that time is now. we are asking everyone to act now. act for others. take this seriously. how can we be surprised that so many, especially in red states seem slow to the cause when the man they look to for guidance has lied about it, slow-walked it, exaggerated his success, and consistently increased the risk to all of us. together as ever as one a reliant on an acceptance of our interconnectedness and interdependence. we get through, in other words keeping it simple. suck it up. do the right thing. do it now. don't make it all about yourself. no one needs that message more than this president. listen, we're fighting this battle not just with the military but with an army of ameri-cans. to win, we must expose the ameri-cant's as well. i got a new batch, next. l, connectivity is vital. verizon, really for us, has been a partner for years. allows us to stay connected to our 80 plus locations across the country. we use verizon throughout our entire day. it's an integral part of how our practice runs. we need our project managers and our superintendents to be able to communicate. we don't have to be together to work together.
