3:00 am
context these are the things storytelling around the biggest issues. have to do you should do it again. back at the white house u.s. president removed his mask after 3 nights in hospital with covert 19. you are 2 still. early a trump walked out of the walter reed army medical center in maryland unaided to the delight of his supporters. hello i'm come out santa maria here in doha continuing coverage on al-jazeera of donald trump's departure from hospital we all remain cautiously optimistic. and on
3:01 am
guard because we're in a bit of unchartered territory. still a bit of caution from donald trump's doctor as he refuses to commit to when he would be fit to travel to campaign for the election. and the virus continues to spread through the white house press secretary kerry mcinerney is the latest to test positive. it's just going to appear in washington d.c. where u.s. president donald trump is back at the white house after spending 3 nights at a military hospital following his covert 19 diagnosis he was flown by helicopter back to washington d.c. where he will continue his treatment. this was him leaving walter reed then getting onto the helicopter and then before entering the white house after that short 10 minute trip by helicopter he departed disembarked the helicopter there stood on the
3:02 am
balcony and took off his mask even though he is still infected and contagious his recovery is far from over he will receive treatment for more days to come remember the president also being given experimental drugs and a steroid reserved for the seriously ill but less than a month's election trump is eager to project strength despite his infection in fact this was what he tweeted just before leaving the hospital he said will be back on the campaign trail soon the fake news only shows the fake polls mike hanna is with us from washington d.c. this hour it's been quite a spectacle hasn't it these past few hours the departure the helicopter the arrival the mask removal. indeed yes well it was president trumps reality t.v. in a way carefully produced striking what he hopes were all the right notes and i must just mention within the last minute president trump has actually tweeted out
3:03 am
a video of his return to the white house and interestingly the final shot in the video is a back shot of president trump while he's saluting as the helicopter takes off in front of him the significance of this is that there's a camera man right behind president trump president trump who he then walks within a foot of when he enters through the door so this once again just highlighting the fact that he has just returned from a hospital he is still positive for the coronavirus he takes off his mask and he's immediately in close contact with somebody who's taking full of him he will come into close contact as well with the staff in the residence the numerous staff in the residence so once again if anybody was looking at whether his behavior in regard to the coronavirus is going to change given his experiences given 3 days in hospital well that little vignette appear to indicate that no no change at all he
3:04 am
heads into a white house that is i would suggest vastly different from the one he left on friday so many more of his staff have tested positive including his press secretary the most recent one. yes indeed kelly minute mcanany tested positive in the course of the day will she announce that she had along with 2 of her sister along with 3 journalists who had been working at the white house this is just adding to a long list of people connected to the white house or connected with those who've been at the white house who have tested positive over the past 10 days we must remember and we've been talking a lot about what to many refer to as a super spreader event that garner the meeting in the rose garden last saturday at which president trump announced his a new supreme court nominee now a number of people 10 at latest count tested positive who would appear as
3:05 am
a direct consequence of being at that particular gathering and now we must look as well at president trump's movements throughout the week he attended a number of campaign meetings he held a fundraising dinner at his golf club in new jersey he has come into a huge amount of people now finally the white house has confirmed that it is attempting a trace seen program to trace everybody who's been in contact with the president now the white house says it is directing this because it is tracing the movements of the president it's doing it it says in association with the c.d.c. but this is days after that rose garden the event and only now is the white house confirming that it is starting a tracing program critics are absolutely adamant that this is the way the white house has dealt with the pandemic as on a general level that it has been slow to react that it has not established any form of federal programs to combat the endemic it has lifted to each state to deal with
3:06 am
a virus by themselves it has not established a national testing protocol or indeed a national tracing protocol so this once again in the last 10 days and the white house's response to it in terms of establishing a tracing program. once again very indicative of how it's operated throughout all these months and i must mention too that the new jersey authority were given a list of those who attended that fund raising dinner at bedminster by the white house in other words the white house is pushing off the list to new jersey to carry on with the tracing process it would appear so once again it's handing it off to the states there's no attempt to cripple it some kind of federal program in place even when the victim of the virus could have been the head of state thank you mike hanna in washington d.c. bringing us up to date with events of the last hour or so well let's hear from vice
3:07 am
president mike pence who spoke to donald trump just before he left hospital here's what pence told journalists about that. president told me he was headed back to the white house he told me david do you john we're looking very much for the vice presidential debate. stakes in this election and never been higher joy never been here and i look forward to the article. take on. the reform for years the president donald trump in the wind. and now we'll hear from the gallagher our correspondent in miami florida that's where u.s. democratic nominee joe biden has been campaigning. well there are many things that the vice president joe biden could have said about president while he was here in florida he could have said that the president mocked him during the presidential debate telling him he shouldn't be wearing a mask but he hasn't taken that tactic what joe biden is doing is saying we should
3:08 am
have science as a guiding light in tackling this pandemic we should have a mandated mass wearing and we should listen to people like the center for disease control it's a very well thought out strategy i think from the biden campaign not personally attacking president trump but talking about how he if if he becomes president would tackle this through science through all the resources this country has to offer medically and professionally let's just hear what the vice former vice president had to say my prayers continue with the president 1st lady for their health and safety as unlike so many american families are dealing with kroger 19. i was glad to see the president speaking recorded videos over the weekend now that he's busy to really campaign messages and i would ask him to do this listen to the science. of man. man mandate nationwide require
3:09 am
a mask in every federal building in the basilica and enter the interstate drought urge every governor do the same we know it saves lives. so that's joe biden campaigning in miami let us not forget only 28 days 27 days depending on where you are in the world until a us presidential election which has really taken a backseat in the last few days well donald trump himself he's only been back in the white house for about half an hour maybe a little bit more but we have heard from him let's have a listen i just left walter reed medical center and it's really something very special the doctors the nurses the 1st responders and i learned so much about coronavirus and one thing that's for certain don't let it dominate you don't be afraid of it you're going to beat it we have the best medical equipment we have the best medicines all developed recently and you going to beat it i went i
3:10 am
didn't feel so good and 2 days ago i could have left 2 days ago today is going felt great like better than i have in a long time i said just recently better than 20 years ago don't let it dominate don't let it take over your lives don't let that happen we have the greatest country in the world we're going back we're going back to work we're going to be out front and you're leader i had to do that i knew this danger to it but i had to do it i stood out front i led nobody that's a leader would not do what i did and i know there's a risk there's a danger but that's ok and now i'm better and maybe i'm immune i don't know but don't let it dominate your lives get out there be careful we have the best medicines in the world and they're all happened very shortly and they're all getting approved and the vaccines are coming momentarily thank you very much and walter reed what a group of people think. donald trump the u.s.
3:11 am
president speaking just moments ago charles moran a republican party strategist with us from washington d.c. to go through some of that now because charles i mean when i spoke to you last hour you were saying we have to hear from the president we have to hear his own experience is. this some concerning stuff in that statement don't let it dominate you don't let it take over your lives i know there's a risk that's ok i'm better maybe i'm immune i'm sorry that doesn't sound like someone who has really learned from being in hospital for 3 days with a disease that's killed millions of people you know i i completely disagree i i heard the president's restating tonight that this is a buyers that is dangerous but it is not deadly it is it is lethal but it is only up to a point where we let it have you can wreak havoc on our society i heard the message
3:12 am
i wanted in the here and i which was this nation needs to. log back roll. it really was it is racial message of you know the d.n.a. that the damage that coronavirus beyond just the physical impact of that person may have it but here it's who are having to learn how to. be teachers for their kids who can't come back. the child so let's let's not let the out. and get i'm going to drop because i don't want to lose sight of something here. the president just stood there and said don't let it dominate you and maybe he's immune he said 210000 americans have died from this what about their families listen to the president saying hey don't let it dominate your lives it don't matter their lives that killed their loved ones. more people have died because of suicide alcoholism in the air and that's you know the point of talking about a virus which has killed 210000 people and since it's out of the let's stay on that
3:13 am
. that no i feel awful about the 200000 people who died in the negative impact on their families and people who die over the flu every year another preventable disease every you're absolutely awful but the destruction that it is had in the teardown it's hat people who are going through depression alcoholism loss of employment the stressors around it that has a one to 5 hold on her as well and the president is reaffirming his support from the american people and to the american people that we need to stay strong through this that we should not completely destroyed the foundation of this country because of a disease where we just need to buy the time until we can come up with a vaccine and distributed throughout the people know that this is the message that people need to hear and i know that the attorney trump comes from the perspective of someone who had the very best medical care that probably anyone could get in the united states and he will continue to get it at the white house so he can stay
3:14 am
there and say yes i fought the citizens and they told me don't let it dominate you don't let it take over your life and i fought back it's easy for him to say in that position again what about all those other people who tell you that and all those people who have died already this doesn't send a message that this is a man who understand race what it's about even though he's had it. are you talking about the 99 percent of people who had it and survived i mean a total of about 210000 people live dive yeah i mean i just can't go past that number. and president rock is talking to the 99 percent of people who survived and the people who have not contracted it saying that we cannot continue to let this disease just draw our life destroy our way of life and to continue to out the growth of hold the fear of it as well. well i mean that is just a touch insensitive then of the president to come out there and address to all these other people who have survived it what a the the the people who are ill with it the people on ventilators that they
3:15 am
believe died from it surely this experience should have changed his perspective more i think in coming through this i mean he was taking some of the same drugs that average every day people are getting demonstrator i meet some of these treatments are things that everybody who is going through this is getting here in america so yes the quality of treatment is higher the oversight is clearly higher i believe that he you know received the best care that you could have in the united states but in terms of some of the drugs and the cocktails that are out there he's getting the same stuff that's available for some of these other patients what he was speaking to tonight was the resolve of the people to not continue to let this disease have the destruction on so many people's lives were not being touched by let's talk about a little bit of a little bit of politics given that there is an election coming up in a month's time do you think this changes the way donald trump will campaign going forward he likes a big crowd he likes to be in front of people again is that going to look reckless
3:16 am
given what he has been 3. i don't know why it's. the campaign is going to do to change the way that they gauge you know what we see on the big network t.v. shows is the rallies and you know air force one flying in the hangars but the core of this campaign is actually the average every day volunteers i mean i heard a report from the campaign that last week they knocked down 2000000 the ones that there is insurmountable or excuse me a numerable amount of phone calls and voter contacts things that campaign is not just about routes the campaign is about an action plan at all 50 states to turn out the vote by your voters so on the t.v. screens you might see something different but that engine that power in the campaign the digital online the that that that part of the campaign and then the
3:17 am
traditional door knocking the phone calls that part is still going on and that's not changing because of what president from the. charles moran republican party strategist joining us from washington d.c. charles thank you for your time we do appreciate it thank you still with us as well talk to them who we spoke to last hour he's an ann arbor michigan senior vice president of vaccine research and development at blue willow biologics thank you for staying with us dr i don't know if you heard clearly donald trump's statement that he made there on his arrival back saying things like i'm better i know there's a risk but maybe i'm immune main your take on that. well i think that he did not study a good biology and buy a home of g. and the new knowledge in the hospital to this is not enough you need more than 2 days to understand what's going on the ore body i think that puts happening there is that our here received one of the on antibody cocktail and that big mix him feel
3:18 am
better which is good also he received other things but to come and say that he is immune you know it takes it takes more time until usually not if you are on immunity so therefore it cannot declare my immune i'm going out he still infectious and it did take up to 2 weeks in a marriage to clear the virus are naturally and therefore with the help that he got he's not going to be available to be mixing with people within are less than 2 weeks when he has to take that the dark out there secondly and i think that you are a friend are you rather guess though mr moron was talking about he had the best care in the best medicine in the world and so forth but they remember that you have the this president that he expect this and experienced this horrible disease he and he still to practice saying he's he's talking about 20000000 people that have
3:19 am
affordable care act that he's going to be trying to identify and those people will be could have any health insurance so what he get is a get to know the best and the world of fear but there are millions and millions of people american people that they will not be able to afford any of this so therefore to call them and say get out and don't get because of it 19 don't manage your life and don't be afraid and so forth that is not a call that you would like to hear from a president or from a leader that people are looking up to you know he's the president even if you don't vote for him he is your president and deaf. or he has to now calm down a little bit and really has started being reasonable in his article as to the people and court to the to the masses that r. and b. can be careful if not don't expose other people to dangerously diseased with 19 is
3:20 am
not an easy disease not a simple one it sat in times more or lethal of them the the flu and we know the flu is a huge public health problem call got caught with 19 this. would not be no you should afraid you should because the proportions needed in order not to get infected don't be a hero and get infected just make sure that you have your mask on and you have all of the proportions needed in order not to be exposed to this while dr let's talk about his medical treatment we heard from donald trump's doctors earlier today who they were clear and said look he's not fully out of the woods yet and also i found it interesting that they say we're sort of an uncharted territory here because of the mixture of treatments he's been given some of which are i believe experimental . yes well the book till it is experimental but the data from the un from last week from malaysian are on it showing that in hands there is
3:21 am
some enhancement of the clearance of the virus so the antibodies that he got will help in the clearing the virus but it takes about 7 days to clear the virus so it's not only to this he feels good after 48 hours and everybody in that the study of last of the people in that study of 2000 people they feel better after 48 days but it took them about 7 to 8 days about to bring the virus down to the background level number 12 and he was given also it as dear as it is not that beautiful the same in rb the ethic i think a seat of the matter over the sphere was not that big effect there was a really reducing hospitalize isha and therefore you are hitting him with one of fluently about it with their i dos not the logos that i want to go as $2.00 an equal amount we get em as those and he get the 8 the grams and then hit him with that in this vehicle with it's also had side effects and all the other combination
3:22 am
so when you put all of these things you're a body is that it and that it's this and also go of it 98 when it when the virus gets in and then you have some people there feeling good and then they're relapse so i think it's too it's too early for the president to take that confidence and to say that i am out i'll be out soon should take it easy to get there the legs back sit back and give the. recovery period to go peacefully and also not to expose as i said which is the most important thing about it cause other people's lives for this danger exactly dr ali fathom joining us from ann arbor michigan we thank you very much for your time. this is the white house this is 1600 pennsylvania avenue in washington d.c. at 20 past 8 in the evening the president is back in residence after his 3 days at walter reed medical center he was standing on the balcony on the other side of the
3:23 am
building actually that you're seeing at the moment on the south lawn not long ago telling the world that he is better he might even be immune he doesn't know but that he won't let it dominate him. just one more note on coronaviruses taking the global view of the world health organization saying around a 10th of the world's population may have been infected with corona virus infections of suppose 35000000 globally and more than a 1000000 people have died the director general of the w.h.o. is urging for global humanity to deal with the break i will never be tired of calling for. finger pointing will not prevent a single infection apportioning blame will not say a single life while it saves lives is national unity
