welcome to another of prime time. america hunkered down in ways like we have never experienced before in our lives. as the number of cases go up, they are going to use the word exponentially now. they're doubling every three or four days. americans are being ordered to stay home. why? because we're afraid? no, because it's a show of force. it's the only way to starve this virus and reduce the cases as quickly as possible. now, the president floated the idea of a drug that's been unproven as a possible treatment and he got pushback from one of the nation's top experts today. >> that would be a game changer. but we're going to know very soon. but -- but we have ordered millions of units. >> the information that you're referring to, spevglcifically i anecdotal. it was not done in a clinical trial so you really can't make any definitive statement about it. >> without saying too much, i'm probably more of a fan of that

than -- maybe than anybody. but i'm a big fan. we'll see what happens. >> you are not a fan of a drug. okay? either it has been shown to work or they're not sure. you can be hopeful without being misleading. if you're on a bed, on a ventilator, you want to know that something works. not that someone's a fan of it. if you have a loved one who is sick and you are desperate for information about something that may help them, being a fan of a drug is not what we need right now. and tony fauci should not be put in that position. but don't take it from me. dr. ashish is director of the global health institute. when we're talking about this, am i right to say hope is a beautiful thing, optimism is empowering. but to say you are a fan of a

drug that has a little bit of anecdotal evidence, as opposed to being approved off label and having some type of guess at a real protocol, is a big difference, is it not, doctor? >> good evening, chris, and yes, absolutely. look. optimism is great, as you said. hope is great. but when it comes to medicine, you know, we rely on science. either medicines work or they don't work. and we have to study and learn and not just, you know, not just leave it at hope. so tony fauci's completely right about this. we're hopeful it might work but we just don't have any scientific evidence right now so it's -- it's -- we're not there. >> now, let's talk to people in layman's terms about why this drug even makes sense. we have been told it's a virus. there is no medicine for it. so what are we talking about? that once somebody gets into that pneumonia kind of phase that there are drugs that have been seen to help with that kind of condition? is that what we're talking

about? >> yeah. so look. there are several drugs that we're hopeful are going to, potentially, work. and, you know, i am trying to use my words very carefully here because we don't know. we have drugs that stop the replication of the virus. stop the virus from reproducing. those are the ones that i'm probably most hopeful because they should work. but, again, we haven't tested them in people. the one that president trump seems to be a big fan of has been shown in test tubes to work. but there are a lot of things that work in test tubes but don't end up working in humans. >> when we hear them talking about it worked in vitro, that means in the test tube as opposed to in the body. >> yeah. so you -- exactly. so you mix a little drug in there with a little solution of the virus. and it seems to work. well, that's great but things are very different in the human body. the human body is not a test tube, as all of your viewers know. >> now, what about the idea that, well, the chinese came up with medicines and the italians

came up with medicines. why don't we just use what they use? is that true? >> look. the italians haven't come up with any new medicines. they've been testing and doing some studies and we will know about those results. if any of them show to be working, we'll use them. but what the chinese and italians did is exactly what we're doing right now in hospitals across america right now with covid patients. we're just supporting them and helping them get through their illness. >> you know, the reason there's desperation on this is the unknown, the uncertainty, has translated into a feeling that this thing kills you if you get it. and it doesn't matter how often we say the numbers are about 2% and that 98% survive. it doesn't feel that way. how do we handle that? >> yeah. so it makes sense, right? it's a new virus. most of our viewers, you know, probably hadn't even heard of it a month or two months ago. it does seem scary. and of course, the pictures coming out of china and coming out of italy are people -- are of people who do die from it.

the good news here is most people who get it will do okay. some people end up getting sick and having to go to the hospital. but they'll recover. and then a small percentage, probably around 1%, maybe 2, depending on who you are, may end up dying from it. and of course our goal is to figure out how do we reduce that even further? and the virus does scare me. obviously, if it kills 1 or 2% of people, that's a bad thing. but remember, most people will recover from this disease without too much trouble. >> now, something else that's particularly scary about this is that basically it's explained to people that it spreads like the common cold and it hits you like pneumonia. that's a tough combination. easy to spread. we all know everybody gets a cold at some point during the year, right, about half of us. but now, we're hearing that you and i are together or god forbid one of us has it. the other one gives the other a nice bro hug. hey. then two or three weeks later i can get sick from this?

one, that's logically inconsistent. if it spread so fast, why does it take so long to get sick? >> let's talk about that. let's say we give each other a hug, which we should not be doing. >> not right now. i'm a hugger but not now. >> i am, too, chris. i am, too. at some point, that'll be fine but not right now. but let's say we did that and i spread a little virus to you. it got into your body. got in through your nose. got in through your mouth. got in through your eyes. it would take the virus a little time to replicate and grow and -- so you'd feel fine walking around because you just had a tiny bit of virus. but that virus would grow and grow and grow. and eventually would get big enough and would affect enough of your tissues that you would start having symptoms. that's why it takes a while. we think it typically takes about a week to ten days for those symptoms to really come on. >> and that's why the social isolation is so formidable. because that lag time means that if you are staying away from other people and keeping social

distancing during that time, you really starve off this virus's ability to do that slow replication in others. the idea of what happens over time in a second wave. that is the new paranoia. how does a second wave work? if we're flattening the curve and treating the cases, what's the second wave about? >> yeah, and this is something that a lot of people worry about. this happened with the 1918 pandemic flu. you know, look, it hit -- it hit america. it hit the world. millions of people died in the spring. and then -- and it sort of faded in the summer and everybody relaxed, and itself going to be okay. the flu was over. and then, in the fall, it came back with a vengeance and it killed tens of millions of people around the world. so people worry about that with covid and think that might happen here. we don't know. right? new virus, we don't know. but we worry that we're going to use social isolation. we're going to starve the virus. it'll kind of fade. we will get relaxed.

everybody will go back to normal in the summer and then it's going to come back and the fall and it will come back much worse and it's going to shut everything down. so i think there is a plan for that. i think we can avoid that. we can get ready for the fall. it's going to take work. i think we can avoid that second wave. but if we do nothing, there is a real risk. >> how? >> look. we got to go on war footing. and i hate to use war analogy but that's what it is. imagine it does fade out over the summer. over the summer, we got to build tests. we have to make sure we have plenty of tests so, when it comes back in the fall, we can test people. we got to make sure our doctors and nurses are protected. we got to make sure we have enough hospital beds and ventilators. there is a ton of work ahead of us. here is the bottom line, chris, this virus is not going away anytime soon. not until we have a vaccine. and it's -- life is not going to go back to normal tomorrow or next week or even next month. we don't have to be on lockdown the whole time. we can make that better. but if we'd commit to working

together. all of us, as a country. we can defeat this thing. but not if we're fighting over what are we calling the requires? and w virus. and who started it? we got to move forward on defeating this. this is our common enemy. >> so are we going to have to do this all over again? >> well, it's up to us. if we sit around and don't use the time between now and the fall to really, really get ready, then, yeah, we may have to do it all over again. it may be longer and more painful. it's up to us. look. the reason we're in lockdown now is we wasted two months. everybody knew this pandemic was coming. we knew for last two months. we did nothing about it. we downplayed it. we're now suffering through the pain of that. if we, after this pain of social distancing, if we then go back to normal and act like nothing's going to happen, then we're going to suffer again. but i think we're going to be smarter the second time around. i think we're going to get ready and we're going to be much better prepared for round two. >> doctor, thank you so much for

your perspective on this. i can't wait till the day comes that when i see you, i give you a big hug. >> i'm looking forward to it, chris. >> take care. >> thanks so much. >> now, we're trying to figure out how you target your concerns right now. got-l you got the elderly. you've got the low income. you know who we haven't been hearing about? our veterans. why -- why veterans? aren't they the best of us? many of them, actually more than half, are over the age of 60. and the va -- you know, they have been a little controversial -- in general, good care. but they didn't ask for a ramp up in help early on with this. but, now, can they handle it? how are their resources? how are they doing? pj rykoff, the arctypal, is next with the perspective of what we

need to do to help our heroes. and a live bookkeeper's helping customize it for our business. (live bookkeeper) you're all set up! (janine) great!

the va provides healthcare services to more than 9 million veterans. but it also serves as the nation's backup health system. so you have a big question here. how ready is the va if the outbreak grows worse? and specifically, will they be able to take care of our veterans? many of whom are over 60. making them particularly vul initial vulnerable to this virus. perspective from iraq war veteran and veterans advocate pj rikhof, the man behind "the angry american" podcast. how are you, my brother? >> i'm good, chris. excellent work, man. i want to start by just thanking forror you for your leadership. you've really been stepping up and folks across the country have been inspired by you and your broth. >> when i got friends like you, it helps you do the right thing. and you flagged this to me a

couple of weeks ago. that the va had been offered help. they didn't take it. and now, they are worried about their resources and being able to take care of veterans. what is the situation? >> the bottom line is that we are facing an unprecedented threat. we all know that. we talked about that being war footing. well, this is war footing and we need to mobilize the entire country around this threat in a way we never have before. it's truly one team, one fight. and i just want folks to understand maybe most of all the va can be reinforcements. a key part of their mission is to be the nation's entire backstop for the entire healthcare system. they can be tremendous reinforcements at this time. they've got doctors, facilities. they've got hundreds of billions of dollars in funding but they have got to be called upon to do it. and, until recently, you aren't hearing from the secretary of veterans affairs. you also weren't hearing from the defense. but i think we've got to understand that right now that entire agency that serves 9 million people has only tested

about 1,100 veterans so they haven't been ahead of the game here. they haven't asked for enough resources. they haven't tested enough people. and it looks like, right now, we have tested for professional athletes than we have veterans and that's a problem if we are going to stay ahead of this curve. >> what is the inside scoop because you are still so contested to the community about why they haven't been called? is it the political optics of militarization of this in the play? >> you know, it comes down to leadership. across the board, in everything we face right now, leadership is going to be the determining factor. the president didn't mobilize the va. he didn't mobilize department of defense. now, he finally is and they can add tremendous resources and be kind of a two-pronged attack here in serving americans. we say in my show all the time, look for the helpers. well, the helpers can come in the form of veterans and military at unprecedented level. they have scale and scope in terms of logistics in medical personnel that no agencies have

in the government and in the world. and the secretary of defense has to be honest. and a couple weeks ago, he told congress he has everything he needs. then, in the recent bill, he asked for $16 billion. even now, he is saying we've got everything we need but then simultaneously, they issued an order today calling reserve folks who have been retired, over a thousand of them, to serve at the va. so there's been mixed messages but we want secretary wilke to succeed. we want him to be a lead element here but he's got to ask for that help. one way he did today. he asked for retired medical personnel who worked at the va. so i am going to echo this message for him. if you are one of those folks, you can step up now. you can help. you can be a part of this fight. go support s tthe va. you can support your country in way you probably have never done before. >> help me understand this because you got governors all over the place worrying about capacity. doctors saying they don't have enough ppe, the protective wear. and they're going to get sick and we're going to run out of first responders. you would think you would jump

to the military almost immediately. so let's think a little bit about what we're missing. i accept your answer, pj, not just because you're twice my size. that it's a question of leadership but we have to be missing something that they haven't made that move yet because they keep getting asked about the army corps of engineers. and my brother says that he has been in touch with the army corps of engineers. and that they're working it out. but there's so much more capability that hasn't been tapped. why? >> that's the question for the president right now. that's what the press corps should be asking him every day. we should be getting daily briefings from the pentagon, from the secretary defense. we should also be getting daily briefings from the secretary veterans affairs. we haven't gotten that. they've been kind of a bla black hole of information here. in the same way we were 17 years ago, today, to invade iraq, we should be mobilized now domesticicly domestically to provide all the

resources we can. we can feeds lots of people. we have tremendous manpower. and department of defense can be the lead element on everything fr helicopters to building hospitals. it's going to start right now, with your brother as an example, like new rochelle. governors can deploy those national guards and they are doing that in 22 states. not just two navy ships that going to take a couple weeks to get to new york and san francisco. we need full mobilization over our military in any way they can help. >> i don't get it. we must be missing something. there must be a political optic at play and i don't even mean it as a criticism. there must be something in their calculus because they're so desperate for resources. and i had one guy say to me it's a national security issue. that you have to make sure that the country is kept safe. and that you don't have the military working on hospitals in a way that makes us vulnerable. but that kind of assumes that, like, we think we're going oh get attacked in the homeland during this time. like, because we're vulnerable. but everybody else is getting

beat up by the virus, too, pj. so it's not like everybody else is a full -- >> the military is now testing across the force worldwide. i talked this week on my podcast to the lead spokesman for our coalition forces in iraq. and everybody in iraq and syria and around the globe is now finally getting tested. we got to keep those folks safe wherever they are but they have tremendous resources here at home that should be mobilized. there should be no political opposition. this is a question of leadership and we have got to adapt, improvise, and overcome, as we say in the military, and nobody does that better than department of defense. you have got millions of people who faced an asymmetric enemy for almost two decades now. you got people who know how to follow orders and get together and work together. it's a tremendous source of resource. i think it can be a source of hope. you know, over a million of us have served overseas since the iraq war started 17 years ago and we're here at home. we can be a part of that lead force and helping. whether it's at the national level and leadership or it's in

your community, helping your neighbors and friends. we want to be a part of that reinforcement that happens and the president's got to lead that fight. and he's got to ask for it. this is a time for a national call to action. so every day the president talks to america, he should also be telling us what we can do. that's the mistake we made after 9/11. we never enlisted the american people. we can do that now and it's got to start with the president. and if he doesn't do it, we got to do it ourselves. >> pj rikhof, thank you for much-needed perspective. appreciate it, brother. stay healthy. the angry american is his podcast. it's actually not an angry thing at all. he's just superconcerned about things. he talk about things. it's great podcast. you should check it out. if you are feeling overwhelmed, scared, lonely, stressed out. you know what that is? normal. you know why? because this is really scary, frightening, destabilizing stuff. and it doesn't just affect your body on the outside. it's about your mental health.

you know, we've talked about this a lot on this show. we're going to live it, now. you know, just because you're not sick with the virus doesn't mean you're not sick with worry. emotional stress is every bit as taxing as physical stress. we got to think about it. we've got somebody here who is an authority on wellness to help steer us through the tough times. oh, yeah, you know that choice. depak chpra joins us next. want to brain better? unlike ordinary memory supplements- neuriva has clinically proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance.

which is fear of something uncertain. you don't know what it is that has you so scared, and that's what we are dealing with with the virus. there are ways to cope, though. and there are ways to get your mind right about this to help yourself with emotions. emotional wellness, mental health, is every bit as important as anything that can happen in your body. you know who knows? dr. deepak chopra. what a gift to have you. it is good to see you. >> thank you. thank you, chris. you're right. emotions can compromise your immune system. but emotions can also enhance your immune system. there are three levels of turbulence right now among population. first is fear and fear can be embraced. it should be embraced, in fact. and you feel the fear in your body. that's one way to embrace it. you disconnect the sensations in your body from the thoughts in your mind. but if you don't control fear, it leads to stress.

stress -- conhronic stress is vy dangerous because it compromises the immune system, cortisol, which weakens the immune system. and if stress is not managed, it leads to panic, which leads to irrational behavior, a lot of which we are seeing right now. and perpetuate -- the cycle perpetuates. and we are compromising our immune systems with unprovoked, or should i say unmanaged, stress. >> we can call that cycle the toilet paper cycle because that's what we saw people run out to do. but now, here's -- here's the response for you to deal with. >> or we call it the -- cycle as well. you know, a lot of people will rush now to look forchloroquen. >> because of what the president said. but based on what i'm getting,

they'll say, deepak chopra, love the books, love the glasses, but there is a virus hunting me like a savage. and i don't know what to do. i am going to get it. everybody's getting it. society's shutting down. this is totally real. it's not in my head. and there's nothing i can do. how do i not lose it? >> so here is two things. follow everything that has been suggested. social isolation. not isolation. social distancing. physical social distancing. all the hygienic measures. washing hands. everything. that will mitigate the risk of, both, mortality and morbidity which is, right now, around 1%. now, having said that, it's also important to practice mental hygiene. mental hygiene means that you have the ability to slow your mind down. to quiet your mind down. one of the ways you can -- there are innumerable ways to do it.

but one of the ways you can do it, even right now as people are watching us, if they inhale to the count of six, pause to the count of two, exhale to the count of four. they will slow down their breathing by about half from 14 to 8. and you can watch your heart rate, also, go down at the same time. and when your heart rate goes down, your breathing slows down. your thoughts settle down. and what happens in your body, immediately -- immediately -- is self-regulation, homeostasis, and a decrease in inflammation. >> what do we do when we're home, deepak? so we're home. we are going to be home a lot. you don't have to be alone when you're isolated. but what are ideas for people to use this time in a way that isn't just them thinking about the worst? how can you use this time? >> yeah. remember that emotions do not respect boundaries. and even physical boundaries.

the internet is spreading emotions like a contagion. we have a pandemic of anxiety, fear, stress. and what i am doing every day is offering meditations on social media. i have created a website for people to help each other. it's called neveralone.love. there are many other things we are doing collectively to help people give each other attention, which means deep listening. affection. let them know that you care for them. appreciation. notice the good qualities and strengths they have. compliment their strengths. and acceptance of the present situation. having said that, employ every possible technique to quieten the mind. not positive thinking which can be fake and a positive mind can be a turbulent mind but a quiet mind is a healing mind and there

are many ways to do that. through mindful awareness of observing your thoughts, your emotions, sensations in your body, the images in your consciousness. perceptions, feelings, thoughts are all entangled as bodily sensations. so feel your body. silence your mind by focusing on your breath. or repeating a mantra or saying a prayer. there is no substitute for quietening the mind and encouraging each other in these best practices for what can only be called mental hygiene. we need to practice mental hygiene right now, as well as physical hygiene, because the body and mind are not separate things. whatever happens in the mind is reflected in the body. whatever happens in the body is reflected in the mind. and whatever happens in our social media right now is also the collective mind and the collective brain. so, you know, we can start

sending each other dopamine hits or whatever you call it through emoticons by just telling we are there for them. even the elderly, we should be telling them we are there for them through technology. and we can also provide help through technology, including financial help, food services, and many other services. all this is being galvanized not necessarily by the government or by industry but by people across the board, all over the country. i am engaged with them and i know what's happening. there are a lot of people doing amazingly heroic things to help each other calm down. reassure each other that this, too, shall pass. >> you know, we fight all the time on this show for people to recognize that mental health and mental illness is every bit as real as physical illness and should be treated with that kind of respect. instead of just crazy versus having cancer or diabetes. but no matter what you have with

mental health, it's always, you know, crazy and disparaged. this is a lesson. you know, many people in this country right now who are learning that the mind and your emotions can mess with you every bit as much as any kind of virus. deepak chopra, of course you know i am a big fan. and i appreciate everything you have to say. and i hope people go to the website and check it out. >> thank you. thank you, chris. >> deepak chopra. he's so calm. he must know something we don't. he must be trying to trick us. makes me a little anxious. no, i'm kidding. that's exactly what you shouldn't do. quiet the mind. know that we're going to get through this. and here's another gift to you on a friday night. the one and only jewel is here. you know and? because i'm a fan. no. because if you're stuck indoors, it doesn't mean that you have to miss her next show. she is going to help those in need, and you can, too. what a better way to spend our time? finding a way to home others and you get to hear from jewel.

what's better than that? nothing. next. ♪ the will to survive is acknowledging i am alive ♪

all right. we got to keep highlighting our americans. i talked about americants last

hour. but this is about so many of us. the ordinary doing extraordinary. you know why? because we get through it together. that includes grammy-nominated artist jewel, who is putting on a digital concert tomorrow to help those stuck in quarantine and others if need of aid. i love it. but you know what? i'm not surprised. not by jewel. she's been doing this for a long time. welcome welcome to "prime time." >> thanks for having me. >> thank you for being here. more importantly, thank you for why you're doing this. not and ubt just to help us in that we need that. but what motivates that? the idea that you have worked on for so long that helps you in your own life when times were hard about what to tell yourself in your own mind. how to deal with mindfulness and the awareness of your situation. you put out a film about this with deepak chopra, who we just had on. tell people about where they should be in terms of how to see the situation and where we're

headed. >> as everybody knows, this is an unprecedented time. we're being asked to evolve and evolve at a rapid pace and that's painful. this is a painful, scary time. but we're more than up to the challenge. we're very capable of doing this. our children will remember the attitudes that we have in our homes much more than they're going to remember all of these details. so maintaining what deepak so beautifully called our mental hi hygiene are really critical. looking at social distancing as social caring. and looking at connection. we have been a very connected society but the quality of that connection hasn't always been amazing. this is ani amazing for us to have a deeper and more connective experience. to realize what we put in our mouth is important but what we put in our ears and what we put in our eyes is also important. it affects our reactions tremendously and our immune

systems. >> people are saying i'd love to connect. i'm stuck into my house. they are telling me i can't go out. can't go anywhere. and i'm using up all my available free time panicking. so how am i supposed to connect right now when i am waiting to get a knock on the door and basically see the grim reaper, which is a virus, destroy my life. >> we have a choice every second with what we do with our thoughts and with our feelings. and we can either panic or we can decide what can wdo that's productive? and it's a choice every person has to make. we try to teach children to make those choices every day and every second and if they need to, they call friends. there is only two states of being. dilated and contracted. so anger, fear, jealousy, agreed, all contract you. joy, gratitude, thoughtfulness, curiosity, generosity, are all dilating and you can't be in two states at once. and so i realized whifen i was

homeless and having panic attacks that if i was really contracted, i had to find a hack to get to dilated. so, for me, that meant being grateful. and there is so much to be grateful for. we're not in world war ii getting bombed for rations of bread with an entire family. we are against incredible, horrible things right now but we are capable of handling this and we are in control of our feelings and our thoughts and that's something the virus can't take from us. it's something no one can. so when you are in a really contracted state, a really simple hack is to think of what you are supergrateful for. and there's a lot to be grateful for. we live in a country where there's still plent there's still plenty of food. there's plenty of toilet paper. in my youth community, they started a twitch. it's called inspire house on twitch where they study together. so there's these big communities where they get sad and get depressed, they reach out and it's a virtual community but they're there for each other when they cry. and they're finding that's actually been a more profound connection than before they had this taken away.

>> inspire house on twitch. and it's interesting that, you know -- you know, this is one of the things here that we have to digest. what's really scary about this is that the destiny is in your own hands. most bad things are in somebody else's hands. will the military save us? will the politicians figure it out? will the election go the right way? this is if you do what we're asking you to do, things will be much more manageable. so you have to put it on yourself but you don't want to because it's inconvenient and scary. and you have to expect everybody else to and you are not sure that they'll do it so you don't know that you should do it. it's very hard. and yet, we make all these crazy connections on social media and take all these silly things so seriously. and now, here we are faced with something so serious and people are worried about connecting over it. so i'm hoping that changes. and you are helping do that with your concert. so how does it work? how do people watch?

>> yeah. i have a youth foundation. we've been going and working with at-risk youth for 18 years. we give mindfulness tools and we are doing this concert. 90% of our kids' parents have already lost their jobs and been laid off. the economic crisis that's ensuing is very worrisome to me. suicide tends to double during recessions, and you add isolation onto that. there was 1.2 suicide attempts last year in america. so if we're saying that's doubling, that's a very frightening number. so right now, i am very concerned about people's mental health. i am very concerned about getting them practical, doable steps. i built a website called jewelneverbroken preponderate c .com. that have been proven to work. anyone can go there it's free. >> what's the website? >> jewelneverbroken.com. >> jewelneverbroken.com.
