Thats what press is reporting. According to him at patient zero was a worker in that lab and was infected by a bat, the creepiest, ugliest creatures on earth, those and rats. According to reports in the days and weeks that followed, china shut down all Domestic Travel to and from wuhan. People in wuhan couldnt travel to china but they allowed people in wuhan province to travel all around the rest of the world. In other words, china knew how dangerous it was so they protected their own citizens but put the entire world at risk. We know how bad this is now. Tens of thousands data, thousands hospitalized. Economy shut down but they protected themselves. Those reports are new. True, that would mean, and we have a lot more in the investigation part two. Joe biden in his own irredeemable and deplorable moment. How do we open new york city my own thoughts, and i will share them from you. Also, this question. Does the statement hold for you . If nominated i will not accept, if drafted i will not run, if elected i will not serve. Sean thats what we call a ts. He unveiled and finally he hoped he could move on. That starting as early as may 1st but actually early in some cases. South dakota never closed at all, even the restaurant stayed open. Take a look. President trump based on the latest data are a team of experts now agree is that we can begin the next front in our war. Thats how opening up america again. Our National Shutdown is not a sustainable longterm solution. To preserve the health of our citizens, we must also preserve ourselves and functioning of our economy over the long haul. You cant do one without the other. That will allow governors to take a phased and deliberate approach to reopening their individual states. Sean you have to remember that im in new york. New york and long island hardest hit in the country. That they chose to backs up all their items, dairy and in between, and those medical supplies didnt shut down. Aveo pharmaceuticals didnt shut down, those that build the math and gloves and the gallons of the respirators in the ventilators, they all were working. The whole country didnt shut down. Those are unique circumstances. For example, densely populated new york city will not be on the same timeline as montana or south dakota which never shut down anything. Instead of a nationwide schedule, the plan has been broken down into three phases in order for the state to begin a threepoint process, it has to satisfy that. Governors wake up a lot of you, some of you are asleep. Do your job. They are now asked for the ability to make these decisions, and you got it. The president and his task force see that youre messing up and hot spots are emerging, they will come down hard on you. Phase one recommends continued restrictions on nonessential travel. It discourages social gatherings of ten or more people and calls for americans to continue to work from home whenever possible. Phase one also recommends large venues like restaurants, movie theaters and even gyms. They can reopen but you have to use very strict physical distancing protocol which would mean a lot of puerile and a lot of wipes. If the covid19 curve remains flat then you can move to phase two. That continues limits on occupancy and bars will be tough. Ultimately the last step, phase three, that would lift staffing restrictions, and that allows visits to senior care facilities and hospitals to begin again, each phase of the plan to get americans back to work will take extra precautions. Now in a place like new york city. Its a very small geographic area, the largest concentration of people Governor Cuomo was on my radio show for an hour and we talked at length about all of this. I shared my views and he shared his. It will take a little more work in a place like new york city. Take a listen. It will be a phasing in and its going to be different. I dont know different words, it might even be different better but its going to be different. This is going to do what 9 11 date. If i ever told you before 9 11 you would have to take off your shoes when you go to an airport and walk through a metal detector on a line and have them go through your bags, people would say no how, no way. But 9 11 changed our orientation. This is going to change our orientation and people are going to want to change. People want to be safe, first of all. Sean some of this is annoying, nobody wants to wear gloves and a mask but for the time being we are also doing it for the people that are most vulnerable. Underlying conditions and compromised immune systems. Over the past several days new york has seen actually, finally, tremendous process progress. The models are holding as we hoped they would. Hospitalizations dropped by 600 which is the largest decrease to date. Total integrations dropped by 40, also the largest decrease and the death rate is starting to decline, that is the lagging indicator as we talked a lot about. For this progress to continue in a place thats densely populated as new york city, i know it sucks. Residents there will need to take important precautionary measures. If you want my plan, we will call the hannity plan. To reopen new york city would be the following. Masks and gloves might be the new normal in new york city, even indoors. Nonessential workers, they will have to work from home. At least 50 of the workforce in every building in new york, 50 is the goal. Keep them working at home and that allows more social distancing. Less concentration on the streets in the buildings of new york city. Digital temperature checks. They dont touch you, but the thing on your for hedda, boom. That should be mandatory again, temporarily. If you want entrance into any building in new york city. I discussed all of this with the governor today. I want to see Yankee Stadium open. I want citi field where the mets play open. I want Metlife Stadium in new jersey open for the giants and jets. Now this is not my decision, but you have to start with this one thing. People most at risk with Underlying Health issues or compromised immune systems, guys, you shouldnt go, not this year. You have to take a year off. Every player, every trainer, every coach, every ticket taker, every food and beverage worker will have to have that added fiveminute test. Anyone that wants to attend again. Now if i have a choice of attending a game and not attending a game, and im just speaking for myself, consult a doctor, im not a doctor. But you must get the temperature test to get into Yankee Stadium. If you have a temperature, you they give you the information, go to her doctor, be safe at home, how to do contact tracing. You cant have a database, you have to respect privacy, but if you have a temperature you cant go it into even an outdoor stadium. Now temporarily, again not the best conditions but if its my choice, and if i have to wear gloves and a mask, okay. I will wear it. Id rather go and wear it. If everyone else is wearing it we can set up for a couple of months until things have passed. You probably cant eat popcorn but you could probably eat a hot dog. Open up your respirator come and take bite and you chew it under your mask. I have to drink my beer if im at a game so if i have to use a straw and slip it in, i will do that. Whatever it takes to get my beer, i want to have a beer. Everyone has to make their own decision. What is your appetite for risk . You get in a car and its a risk. Consult with your doctor. Id rather have my temperature taken, drink beer from a straw, eat a hot dog by going like this and chewing it with a mask than not going at all. Im prochoice and i know this is not ideal but if its about saving the lives especially of other people more vulnerable and getting our economy back up and running full speed as quickly as possible, i will suck it up. And i think a lot of new yorkers would suck it up and want to go to the game, where the mask and gloves and beat the yankees and the giants and jets and mets can make their own masks and hand them out as you go in with their emblems on it. Medical privacy is a must. It cant be compromised. No government databases, sorry. We have a constitution and civil liberties. People can decide to go or not go based on these temporary rules and i choose to go. Same with football, same with outdoor concerts, and indoor events . While i think you could move the new york rangers and islanders to Yankee Stadium and city field, they do that once a year anyway. A recent poll shows that some democrats, the majority of them, would likely support mandatory nationwide blood testing and electronic ankle bracelets for those who are sick. Joining us now to weigh in on all of this because we cant have draconian measures as we kick it off here. Okay, larry kudlow. Im cutting half my monologue short because im adlibbing so much. Youre the chief Economic Council guy and a friend of mi mine. Okay. I want the games, i want the economy open. How bad is the Second Quarter unemployment going to be . How bad would it be gdp Second Quarter would imagine god awful. Is going to be pretty awful. The important thing here is the president s guideline with the doctors giving us a pathway to reopening the economy. We have to be safe. We have to be healthy. As you were going through, i agreed with pretty much everything you said. We have to have the right testing on the right diagnostics, the right hospitalization, all that should be in place. All that practice with social distancing and so on and so on. But the key point is weve laid out a pathway guideline for all the state governors across the country who will then begin to reopen the economy. It will be done in phases. May will be a transition month but this thing will get us back on track. I mean the economy, look. In the last four weeks, these numbers are very painful because they have hardship written all over them. Unemployment insurance claims, sean, went up 22 million in the last four weeks. Thats about 13. 5 of the whole labor force. Its a terrible number, no question. But, with these new guidelines and as we gradually reopen phase by phase and statebystate we will see a turnaround in the economy in the weeks ahead. I truly believe that. Sean i believe it, too. We are still in april, just begin the Second Quarter. So april, may, june. I would imagine 90 of the country is going to be open probably in early may, by the end of may if i really want to be conservative. What did you think about my idea for Yankee Stadium and city field . If everyone has to wear a mask and get their temperature taken, you have to drink beer through a straw, i meant. I would rather go than stay home. Thoughts . I agree. Im a big baseball fan, life long yankees fan. Yesterday when the president talk to all these Business Task force executives, we also met with all the sports commissioners and they wanted to open up. Baseball wants to open up, and they may have to start slow and may have to figure out the best practices and procedures but they want to get going. There was an announcement that the golf tour may begin in early june. People love to watch golf. Im a tennis player myself but i think the tenants people maybe we can have the u. S. Open in new york. All im saying is the president has done here with safety uppermost in his mind, we need safe American People. Now these guidelines put out by the best doctors in the best science mines will open the door to a resumption of sports. I mean heck, i want people to go back to work. Sean truckers never stop working. Farmers never stop, suppliers never stop. The truckers are phenomenal. People forget how important trucking is to this economy, 70 of the freight hauled in the u. S. Is done by truckers. Those are your supplies and your supply chains. By the way, theyve been working for the most part. Now we can begin to open up the rest of the economy and because the economy was pretty darn strong, the trump economy got pretty darn strong before this going in. We can recover that Economic Growth and to get people working again. Thats the key. All we want to do is protect the workforce and the businesses. So in the next few weeks we can rebound. The rebound will come. A rebound will come and this is a big first step by President Trump. Sean thats our hope third quarter. Joining us now is louisiana senator john kennedy. I like the fact that they figured it out early and got on board fast and they were able to drop level at much faster than other places i would argue because we learned a lot, by the time louisiana got hot. We did learn a lot. We also benefited from the president s assistance. We got extra ppe. He was going to build us an extra hospital but we didnt need it. We never came close to running out of ventilators thanks to the president and the Vice President. Our numbers are now going in the right direction and we are starting to talk about reopening the economy. I was very impressed today with the trumpfaucibirx plan for reopening the economy. I hope the governors follow it. Sean is it true, did drew brees donate like 5 million to louisiana or Something Like that . A crazy amount of money . Pretty amazing guy. He is, hes a wonderful Football Player but he is an even better person. And hes been very generous with his money. But a lot of people, in and outside of louisiana has been very generous to the people in louisiana, including and especially the american taxpayer. And i want to thank the american tax paper, compare because its their money that we are spendi spending. Sean as long as its for workers displaced and hospital supplies and ventilators and thermometers and testing and also Small Business and big business, through no fault of their own impacted, im fine with it. I think we will get into a fight though with your democratic colleagues because they will want to balance these corrupted budgets of these states by burdening the taxpayers. No more art centers, no more endowments and all going towards specific houses. Can we do that and pass clean bills, sir . We can if Speaker Pelosi can agree to it. On which Democratic Senators were invited and i worry that some of them are not going to support the trumpfaucibirx plan for reopening the economy. I hope they are wrong. I know the tofu and arugula crowd will not like the president s plan and they think that we should leave the economy shut down until there is no more coronavirus. Thats not realistic for two reasons. Its unrealistic. Thats bone deep, down to the merrill stupid. Number one the economy will collapse, the World Economy will collapse and number two as we saw in michigan the American People are not going to stand for it. Sean our best to drew breese, ray antoinette, you know we can all eat kick as a nancy pelosi and apparently she flies out with our Carbon Emissions private plane into her gated neighborhood and shes not even working. She needs to get back on that private jet of hers and fly back to d. C. And get the job done. You know the paycheck Protection Plan for Small Business, they are out of money. Pelosi and the democrats, they support it. They are refusing to reup the program again, they are playing their games. Again they want to waste money, again they are basically blackmailing the republicans and leveraging necessary needed money for unrelated issues. Now, and 20,000 inside her gated multimillion dollar mansion. Lindsey graham is with us, at least he would have brought us ice cream if he had such a freezer. Shes been vicious the whole time. Shes not at work, shes blaming President Trump for everything and shes telling everyone february 24, come to chinatown. She was impeaching trump when trump put the travel ban in effect and now shes holding the money hostage again. I think shes been incredibly small in a time when the country needs big leadership. She held the articles of impeachment from december 18th and tried to get Mitch Mcconnell and now she is trying to hold the Small BusinessAdministration Loan program thats working hostage, shes been a hostage taker rather than a problem solver. The one thing i want to say about President Trump, a guy that i got to know in the last three years listens and leads. Dr. Fauci and dr. Burks, and that phase opens up the country. He listens and leads and undermines and destroys. Sean have you been following bret baiers reporting about how patient zero is a guy that got infected from corona from a bat and he worked in that wuhan laboratory. I had seen all the conspiracy theories that were manufactured there. Apparently china banned travel in and out of wuhan province according to bret, but they let people from wuhan travel internationally. That would mean to me that they knowingly, consciously, assuming all this is true as reported that they protected themselves and screw the rest of us with the help of the w. H. O. That lied to us. All the evidence indicates they iran is the larger statesponsored terrorism and china has the lead just statesponsored pandemics. This is the third or fourth pandemic that came out of china and the infection may have happened in the lab but the evidence seems to suggest it was spread at these wet markets. What did we do to iran who is the bad actor . And senator cruz has the bill to do that. Sean they need to pay for this because they knew wuhan was so dangerous that they could not travel in or out from china. If they didnt tell the rest of the world what they were doing with wuhan, but they let wuhan people travel everywhere else, they didnt give a flying rip about what they were doing to the rest of the world. They knew it was bad and they let it happen. If it were not for the irresponsibility of the Chinese Government party there would be no pandemic in the world and americans would be alive today and 22 Million People would be at work. China is responsible and its time to hold them responsible. They need to p
