best possible quality without. so according to current figures the us has been the country worst by the corroded laughs the infection rates are skyrocketing relative to other countries around the world my guest this week from washington is the republican national party spokesperson elizabeth harrington could president trump have done far more than he did to stop this virus both at home and abroad. and his apparent of back into conflict zone thank you for having me you said on april the 19th of the president has moved with record speed to come back to ground a virus and bring relief to hardworking americans there's been
4:32 pm
a record speed on testing for the virus has there despite all the false assurances that have come from the white house we have this from your own governor larry hogan from maryland who said the president's claim that states have enough tests to be open is just absolutely forbes why is the president putting up for sublimation. well that's not true the president has put out and been very transparent in the information he provided in the taskforce briefing just yesterday he showed the 5000 different places locations across this country where testing is available and ready to be used by governors across or great nation and if you look at the speed at which president trump has acted it's spent on president and this is an amazing on president situation but every step of the way prison terms make bold early decisions where naysayers ridiculed him and accused him of being seen a photo back the world health organization said it would only bring stigma and
4:33 pm
would save lives with travel restrictions well present transport proven correct and as dr felt he had numerous times those travel restrictions in the very beginning did save lives and when it comes to testing right now we have 93 percent of americans are within 10 miles of a testing location that's it unprecedented cheeseman a very short amount of time when you think about what the c.d.c. infrastructure had in place with a broken system that really just wouldn't have been feasible for any any type of virus that like this that we're facing right now in the way we've been able to waive regulations get the private sector involved to have more capacity per capita more testing in new york city by 64 percent than south korea had that's it an amazing achievement and done in a matter of weeks that's very impressive so the governors like larry you know. the
4:34 pm
republican governors of my de wine from ohio for instance he says the state simply can't find the materials and religions to expand the testing capacity. no absolutely false he says the president's claims of us. they don't know what they're talking about is there not it's a lack of it's a lack of communication on their part it is we're talking about ramping up something that's unbelievable in a very quick amount of time and you're talking about china that was a net exporter of p p e before this pandemic and then suddenly when they were hiding the truth from the world what did they do they became a net importer of people eat and have been hoarding that so it has been a challenge across the world to get the needed supplies and medical devices that we needed and if you've been watching the task force briefings the task force has been
4:35 pm
explaining at the very beginning there was only one place to get slots that we could use for tests and that was from a factory in northern italy where they had obviously issues of their own so it has ben there have been challenges along the way but the really unprecedented way to get the private sector involved the task force talked yesterday about a company that was making q-tips is now changing what they do to make swaps to get states the resources they need and look by and large they are mr a share and has worked very well with these governors of both political parties and they've really come together to deliver for the american people no one has gone without a ventilator that needed one we have the army corps of engineers building up hospitals 1200 beds in a matter of days beds that we thankfully not need in new york city so by and large this is then a phenomenal achievement all hands on deck working with the private sector to
4:36 pm
deliver the supplies that we need and it fast way where you serve much the sevens mr trump told the country tests were available to everyone anybody that needs a test gets a test they're there they have the tests and the tests a beautiful except that it was left to me found she had been. director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases to come clean how much the 12th and tell the nation what the president couldn't tell us was still not provided adequate testing the virus it's failing he said let's admit it he said this to congress the idea of anybody getting testing easily the way people in other countries are doing and we're not set up for that i think it should be but we're not that's in direct contradiction to what you've been telling me is that no it's not if you look you are you can go back in time to try to rewrite history with facts you have now with the facts at the time when he was at the c.d.c.
4:37 pm
in atlanta how many cases do we have in the united states a very low number so when you're talking about anyone who needed a test needed that was available and of course dr couches talked about this numerous times you know what the problem was with testing at the very outset was that government did not have the capability for a nationwide test we had to go to the private sector and when we got the private sector involved that led us to become the world leader in testing so it's very convenient for people to go back and rewrite history but the facts at the time in early march when we had a very limited number of cases we were able to test people send it to the c.d.c. and get those results back to guess what as the crisis changed as the problem adapted we adapted and we waived the necessary onerous regulation that required
4:38 pm
states to send all of their testing to be testing at the c.d.c. that wasn't feasible but guess what that was what the regulations forced us to do by waiving that and by working with the f.d.a. and listening to what dr burke says said she spent a lifetime begun. and service she's never seen an administration be able to talk to the doctors and private companies on the front lines what they need and saying there's this roadblock because government is in the way with this regulation and this administration has stepped up and gotten those people on the front lines the research says they need to say that this isn't a question rewriting history this is recording what people said at the time and within 5 days of the each other and to be found to the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious disease something completely different from the president namely the testing is failing and that's in direct contradiction to what mr trump and said 5 days earlier we're totally prepared it wasn't the u.s.
4:39 pm
wasn't totally prepared for this president you yourself admitted you weren't prepared for it because you didn't know it was going to happen was germany prepared was anyone prepared was china prepared ok and this is this is ridiculous hindsight rewriting of history because the fact of the matter is when he was at the c.d.c. needing with the experts who were leading this response this is you asian changes a lot in 5 days you know that everyone knows that when you have cases all of a sudden doubling of course the situation changes but the fact remains we've taken a system that was not able to process the types of capabilities that we need and we've turned that around in a matter of weeks and it's an impressive accomplishment in the u.s. is now the world leader in testing and again let's quote dr falco what did he say
4:40 pm
on friday testing isn't porton but it's not everything and so the media to rewrite history and now after they fail to get president trump and say we don't have enough ventilators and he's you know being reckless by not giving new york city 30000. and when that was nowhere near what we needed now they're saying testing testing testing we don't have enough well the fact remains testing is important we have the capability to reopen our country but what good does a test say today that you're negative and then tomorrow you contract the virus it's just the media is using this to attack the president when it's completely uncalled for and they're completely rewriting history ideas of them team you have talked to from what you say tapping the president he said if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation you could have saved lives but he noted there was a lot of pushback about shutting very early in the outer banks that is really that
4:41 pm
is not guess what dr foushee clarified those comments because it was a gotcha question a hypothetical by c.n.n. guess what he said the next day you are misinterpreting what i said of course a hypothetical of course you can go back and say if we would have done this or we would have done that you know what dr fouts he set every step of the way when we recommended mitigation when president trump said ok when when when so that is when president trump ad said let's do 15 days to slow the spread that's one president from said ok let's do 30 more days to slow the spread so you are totally taking dr fallacy out of context it's not accurate and he cleared this up for everyone to say and the media attacked him for it and the media said are you being forced to say that's really denigrating the
4:42 pm
integrity of dr fouty and i think it's really irresponsible for people in the media to continue to try to use people who are working 24 hours a day on this to try to say they have that you'll notice they have done an incredible job. all working together when the recommendations were presented to president trump he took them and you know nancy pelosi what was she doing in february she was saying come to china town she wasn't taking this seriously because she should have been in congress giving relief to americans and she's still holding it up so don't tell me that republicans and president trant haven't acted immediately and haven't taken this seriously when we see delay after delay after delay for democrats in congress how helpful was it in this with harrington to cut the funding for u.s. public and stop operating inside china by 2 thirds reducing their numbers from 47
4:43 pm
people in general 2017 to 14 by 29 thereby removing a substantial number of the vital eyes and ears installed in china that could have told you this was breaking how can i net china did not help us whatsoever so it wouldn't have really made a difference about who was really the ground they kicked out journalists they kicked out they disappeared doctors who were sounding the alarm they along with their allies in the corrupt world health organization hid the truth about the virus for over a month for 6 or 7 weeks and no out for our people to travel outside of china when they restricted travel inside their own country it's amazing that they're trying to shift the blame to the united states of america when china because of their corruption because of their secrecy because of their to seat the
4:44 pm
entire world is suffering because of that lack of transparency and then lying in the world health organization saying you're looking anywhere 14 or so there's no human to human transmission of the virus that was a disk. sting law that was causing millions of people their lively rate suspended the funding for us public if it's accurate i haven't seen the specifics of that fact that democrats in the media have been falsely accusing the president of cutting the c.d.c. budget and everything else and that's just not true so i haven't seen those details and i would suspect that this is not accurate as well. but what would it do when china's kicking out journalists in trying to time is not sharing the information with us so i know. how accurate this transition human you
4:45 pm
have an epidemiologist who is actually inside china's own disease can travel agency and the funding for that was cut last year babies belief doesn't i don't think the funding was cut just on that i don't think that's accurate. so when trump says i wish i could they could have told us earlier what was going on inside china. because. now it did do american scientists control which chinese labs are telling the world it's just amazing that you're trying to blame america for something that china they are the ones who hid the truth about this virus and let it escape and unleashed around the world and it's caused incredible amount of pain for not just the united states but the entire world and it's shameful and we need to get to the bottom of it and china needs to be open and honest about what exactly was going on because their lives have really caused just
4:46 pm
a tremendous global global economic. plight. of lives lost and it's a direct result of a communist regime covering up their failures and not the obvious with the world it's certainly not a fault of america you said you didn't know this was going to happen the intelligence community is worldwide threat assessment in 2019 said we assess that the united states in the world will remain vulnerable to the next flu pandemic or a large scale outbreak of a contagious disease that could lead to massive rates of death and disability and severely affect the world economy turns out to be in pretty accurate doesn't it in 2018 you also closed the global health security office of the national security council the body was main job was to prepare for and prevent the kind of pandemic that we see now that is not true that fast asked him morrison who headed
4:47 pm
that interagency in the national security council ask him because he was in charge of that and just any he didn't close it they were working on this at the national security council of course they were. concerned about the potential problem but you know what was what was the other aspects of the intelligence community what were they what were they warning about in early january i tend to remember it was all about ukraine and pretending that ukraine up momentarily pausing a.t.u. crane was our biggest national security threat how laughable that was then and it's certainly laughable now with the democrats 'd did wasting our time you know what adam should know trajan your talents. when adams shift even when he was still in the minority and represent daven nunez was trying to hold a hearing on the threat posed by china adam schiff hijacked those hearings to talk
4:48 pm
about russia so democrats it's very rich that their leakers in the intelligence committee community who have been talking about ukraine and russia for months are suddenly now trying to rewrite the script and pretend they were actually warning about a coming pandemic it is laughable that your intelligence service it was in the it was in the 2019 threat assessment when one threat assessment what was done about who responds to the worldwide threat assessment you know it was done from the president struck signed an executive from europe or president transom an executive order last summer that incentivized government to buy american american to bring our core manufacturing so we're not dependent on china for the supply chain so we're not dependent for their medicines that is what the president has been working on since day one and of course that will put us in a better position and if anything that happens when we get to the other side of
4:49 pm
this awful pandemic what will happen is we're going to continue to bring back that core manufacturing we're going to continue to put america 1st and we're going to meet the challenges ahead it's ridiculous to try to rewrite. mystery and pretend that the intel gets broken if that has been a leaking and a lot about president trump using it talk about this information using descent from nation from fake russians sources to try to sabotage president trump before he got into office and ever since they're trying to rewrite the script now and say ok really no no i didn't see it until you said i don't think that the russians would be responsible for this heat he gave them a clean bill of health didn't he said he believed president putin. looked into his eyes he believed what he said when putin and denied any involvement in hacking into americans is the trump believed to be given a free pass. either democrats in the media are giving themselves
4:50 pm
a free pass for literally publishing russian descent from a nation for over 3 years because guess what hillary clinton's dot ca was a bunch of lies they knew it was a bunch of lies and guess oh they didn't care they leaked it anyway try to legitimize a false narrative against the president making russia way more impressive than they clearly are this hysterical narrative about clinton collusion that was always i was i and it's really it's really disgusting that now after wasting 3 years of media attention and that endless investigations taxpayer harder taxpayer dollars on this madness now they're trying to say oh we actually were warning about a pandemic give me a break action if didn't hold any hearings on china which everyone knew was the
4:51 pm
actual real threat not russia and i'm certain i'm company administration just perfect and it made any mistakes it will never never apologize its all perfect is it this is what you me and you look at the results you look at. the results and you look at the mill stave me they have adapted they've made the best decisions possible with the information at the time and it is put us in an incredible position much better than many other countries in the rest of the war he calls it president charles steger 2000 confirmed cases about 4 times more than the next highest number i guess you believe china's numbers to write you love communist china's regime that is clearly suppressing chickens from the u.s. and its chinese its communist chinese propaganda their numbers and they want the world to blame america for their own pandemic that they have wasted on the world so you are doing the work of communists in china but please go on to use their numbers
4:52 pm
more move people don't believe the president any more of what he said about the ground of ours to the latest n.b.c. wall street journal poll only 36 percent of respondents in the poll so they generally trust what trump has said 52 percent say they don't trust him so you're not winning the trust spotlight on this nearly residue from jobs and lost their jobs millions around the lockdown. you're going to politicize it and say that it's president trump's fall for saying so which is it should have struck economy or should we not have shut down the economy did he actually slow busy racist or art didn't act early on just that because no matter what i say your sacred and trump is just the worst person that ever lived so give me a break and anything that i think you're just. whining that we've done that it's our fault. i mean this regime on least a pandemic there cover up at least
4:53 pm
a pandemic on the world that the entire world including germany is having to clean up so president trump has done an amazing job dealing with this and you're going to try used hurting jobless americans against him in there it's january he was cheerleading for the chinese he said john has been working very hard to contain the virus the u.s. greatly appreciate their efforts and transparency yet china was lying to us at the time. yeah and it was also obama's fault that you didn't have a test is that right. well it was certainly it was certainly obama and biden's fault that the stockpile of and 95 masks were depleted would you agree with that. up to me to agree or disagree with the militias many times he did her rigid a broken down i think we need all those facts and it's convenient that the obama biden illustration which is as you claim everyone knew this pandemic was coming why
4:54 pm
did they leave us completely empty with the stockpiles of mass and other critical supplies they knew that in 2009 there's a hearing with then secretary of health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius where she acknowledged that the stockpiles for empty she acknowledged that all of her medical supplies were empty bad 8 years and they never did a single thing to refill that stockpile so our question is a problem i'm going to speak present healthcare it's a failure of government bureaucracies an onerous rep regulations i got that got in the way for far too long president trump wisely as a unleashed the private sector got rid of these onerous regulations working in conjunction with the f.d.a. with the c.d.c. to get americans the resources they need it's been and it is been an incredible achievement and. in quarterback everything you want but the fact remains president
