was at that white house briefing that the president was speaking at kimberly this was a very long greeting i think i lost about 2 hours and it covered a whole range of subjects what do they talk about. yeah well in addition to some of the highlights there the u.s. president talking about a new program he hopes will least alleviate some of the suffering when it comes to those high unemployment numbers that were released today the u.s. president announcing the paycheck protection act what this is is a plan that consists of about 350000000000 in small business loans that will allow small businesses to retain employees even though they may not be working right now and even though the small business may not be taking in any income u.s. president also talking about some of the supply shortages that exist in the united states particularly when it comes to personal protective equipment or p.p.s. saying that they have now a limited a lot of the shortage just pushing the mask and other protective clothing to the

states that need the most but they did acknowledge that there is still a problem and that is that in fact many of these are going to the highest bidder and sometimes that better is outside the united states they dress the issue of hoarding that exists in the united states saying that they have now begun seizing masts that have 7 ties or and other items that are of course very much sought after in the united states right now with the high number of cases in fact saying that they are not only seizing this which many might argue later on may not be constitutional but that they are now pushing it out into the market as quickly as possible here in the united states to address those shortages and get really when we were watching the briefing here the president was talking about of some of the rising figures of coronavirus in other countries as well he's always talking about spain and italy but i know because you were in the room you asked him specifically about iran and the situation there tell me what he said.

yeah i asked about iran because this is a question that's been raised by the former vice president joe biden who of course is hoping to face off against donald trump in the november presidential election if it remains on track because of coronavirus in fact the former vice president suggesting that it might be time to ease sanctions against iran humanitarian grounds here's what the president had to say. he says. that the people of iran can i think seen you'll continue to stand with the people of iran given the fact they're so hard hit with chronic are they're very hard hit but they're very hard hit in a lot of ways the harder they are in with their economy with their military and with obviously the virus they're very hard when you consider easing sanctions to allow medical supplies to get in they haven't even tested it we know that sanctions hit the people not the definition of what they haven't even as

a system to if they want to meet would love to meet and would love to settle the whole thing out but i doubt they'll be realistically has a person in tehran pick up the phone call i think they love america i think the iranians love america i think they'd love to be free i think they'd love to have just some of the things that we have you know i remember and many years ago friends of mine were always in around there were doing real estate deals in a room they were building beautiful buildings all over and the corporate houses it was they were very successful and then one day there came to an end but you don't want the people who read they remember that it was a long time ago but not so long ago they remember it and i'll tell you they love america they love what we stand for. and we're not looking for change we're not looking for government to take over government change you know this country's been through that many times it doesn't work people do encourage other countries to who are maybe a certain amount of what i did oh yeah what i did as you know i put it out very

publicly with respect to iran and said if they need help with respect to the virus would love to sit with the greatest medical professionals in the world would let their cities are you encouraging perhaps to to lend their support because there are many countries that he only encourages his kids and. they've been a very hostile country they made a deal that president obama should have never made it was a short term deal giving a $150000000000.00 giving them $1800000000.00 in care. greenfield this is interesting to note the moral responsibility. to. have a moral responsibility to help them if they ask if they if they needed help i would certainly consider defeat any nation says they need help well that's up to the united nations i'm talking about us and what happens is if they want to help because they have a very big case of virus a very very big case it one of the worst on earth if you believe what you're reading and i happen to believe what i see and what i know and if they wanted help
