trials it's not easy to get but they do but the company does release some vials to certain patients on what's called a compassionate use and this is what the president trance doctors asked for him he probably of the president of the united states will probably guess the best possible treatment. you can expect. why is this so important why is all the news stations in the world covering this story included why is the health of the president united states so bored what's so important for so many reasons 1st of all the economy and it's just not the u.s. economy it's the global economy the u.s. economy is the foundation for the global economy fair or not fair and free markets have already reacted poorly with the news that donald trump has contract contracted the virus so that's an issue also we're talking about the leader of the lone superpower and so this begs the question what what plans are in place do

we have to worry more from our adversaries or just america have to worry more from its adversaries because the president is seemingly incapacitated or at least he's at hospital here is incapacitated what's happening in the want to know if you get seriously sick when it could happen we don't know. what happens to the chain of command what happens in the white house who will be in charge will he become seriously ill the 25th amendment allows for transference of power that means that the vice president mike pence were taken troll of the government. and if he were to become sick because he's been in contact with the president then there is a secession stipulation that would allow for the speaker of the house to take power and that's nancy pelosi but we're not quite at that stage yet. of course very special. one hospital. just seen in the pictures. on the screen. it's not just the average hospital is it you know this is

where presidents go for treatment and even. donald trump went there last year we don't know what the results were and what all the tests were about but he was there and he been told that he while he is still feeling ill they he's still doing work from the presidential offices there at the hospitals that he's still working but we should note that he was supposed to lead a conference call yesterday but he canceled and mike pence stepped in. says thank you very much. while we wait for that statement of the president of the trumps dr on the health status of president trump. lead. how his carona faction 1st saw the news of it 1st emerged and watched treatment he's receiving. the 1st glimpses of a u.s.

president since he shocked the world which is covert $1000.00 diagnosis. here donald trump has been transferred to hospital with officials insisting it's only a precautionary measure. the white house said he was 58 but in good spirits and experiencing mild symptoms before takeoff the president assured his supporters he was doing ok. thank you everybody for the tremendous record i'm. going to make sure things were the 1st lady is doing very well so thank you very much. the white house had been on high alert after news that a top aide was diagnosed with a virus on thursday. ho pics seen here in the brown coat often travels with president trump. now the race is on to trace and test the people who might have

come in contact with the president. and the potential pool of people is huge with an election to win trump has been on the road addressing voters and he hasn't always won a face mask or followed social distancing guidelines. outside of walter reed trump supporters gathered to show their support for the president. but with a month until the election tribes illness has thrown the campaign into uncharted territory. if donald trump hopes to stay in office he's going to have to beat the coronavirus 1st. as he was he too cat so much trouble with the corona pandemic both from a public health perspective with regard to his own health well critics would say absolutely he mocked the idea of wearing a mask he would rarely were one in public only when he was high pressure to do so did he and. he he he continued to hold these mass rallies

or as big of rallies as he could the rose garden is an example of this where he nominated his supreme court nominee amy connie barrett and nobody would very few people wearing masks and it wasn't just outdoors the ceremonies ceremony was also indoors and people were hugging and they were very close and this is the kind of thing that the president encourages because he wants us to move away from the fact that we are in the middle of a pandemic because it's not good for him politically so and then we also know about the bob woodward interview we've heard the tapes where he knew on february 7th that this was a highly contagious disease airborne and he did very little and regards to mobilizing a federal response and preparing the american people with the truth of what we are dealing with and what where do we go from here we're talking about the complain what effect will his illness have on his campaign on his chances to get reelected

there are so many questions that are still in the air this is so new for everybody so the very answer is i'm not sure but i know that what will be one scenario that well once an area is that perhaps well we know that his campaign. is has counseled a lot of the activities that he was involved in mike pence may have to step up and do more for the debate for example that's scheduled for october 15th with against his challenger vice president biden joe biden. his sickness falls within that 14 day window where you're supposed to wait and be quarantined so the question is do they move the debate which is possible do they have it something where it's online where the men are completely separated we just have to wait and see those questions have been answered. he will definitely miss out on the campaign events that he thrives in the big rallies where everybody is wearing moderate. or

do you think that will have a significant effect that is that his supporter base might be disheartened they will be feel dejected i'm sure because where in the mass and how you respond to the coronavirus in the united states has become extremely political and if their main guy that supports their cultural issues is an out there warning for them i'm sure that this will will hurt his campaign he's not able to go out and do the certain things and mike pence while he has been a very solid number 2 he doesn't have the same charisma whether you like trump or not he does have a charisma and mike pence doesn't have that. so we'll just we'll just have to see what happens i also wanted to note that this really brings to the forefront that the that donald trump and joe biden are both men in their seventy's and so this really brings puts a lot of pressure on kemal harris and mike pence to do extremely well at their debates because they could easily step in and be the president of the united states

so this is something that we're all thinking about an addition. i should say we're talking about publicity and the election joe biden has agreed or he already has done this to pull his negative campaign and about donald trump and the donald trump campaign said they're not doing the same so they're going to fight the way that they can without the president being forefront you talk about the democrats. this is a bit of a tricky issue that. can they benefit from it and. well i think the benefit and the fact that joe biden looks like a leader he got in from the cameras yesterday and was wearing a mask and was speaking not just like he'd be the representative of blue states he consecrate red states he was focused on america in general and everybody coming. together and doing what needs to be done to contain the virus and i think that this is the later ship that a lot of americans wanted to see and they did not see this from donald trump we've

also speculation that the. elections so could be postponed is that realistic i don't believe that that is highly realistic there have been so many fights to keep this election going. people are afraid that their votes are going to be disenfranchised anyway some people are voting early some have started voting last week so i don't i don't think that the the election will be postponed will what will be postponed are the official numbers it's just impossible because so many people a mailing in their ballots because of coronavirus so we wouldn't get the results on november 3rd anyway which we technically we don't get we but we usually have an idea based off of exit polling but because of the way things are right now with the coronavirus it's impossible to have an exact definite winner on november 3rd let's just remind viewers that we are waiting for a statement by the doctor who is treating the u.s.

president donald trump in washington on the health status of the president joint buys from the u.s. election team says he let's go back we've discussed that before but he's at the moment we're waiting for an update from his doctor but what about his health right now ok right now we can we know that he's been suffering from problems breathing and this is the congestion exocet it with problems with the coronavirus but we're told that his symptoms are mild he had a low grade fever and he was a little tired this is why he was tested again in the 1st place and we should also mention that he is and he hit some high risk categories which makes it a little bit more difficult to recover from the coronavirus he's 74 years old he's clinically obese and he's had problems with his cluster also on. and these things play a factor and his health says thank you so well president trump has long been dismissive

of the corona virus and the precautions his own experts recommend as his how he's reacted to the greatest public health challenge in decades. from initial optimism in february looks like by april you know in theory when it gets a little warmer it miraculously goes away i hope that's true circumstance to a number up to about face in march that specific case today i am officially declaring a national emergency us president donald trump has gone to extremes in his public attitude toward the coronavirus he's always saw a silver lining even as the death toll skyrocketed america will again and soon be open for business very soon we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself we're not going to let the cure be worse than the problem in the start seeing some real laid at the end of the tunnel but this is going to be a very painful. very very painful 2 weeks that trump soon turned

a medical problem into a political issue forcing the public to choose between him and the experts when government scientists recommended wearing masks he scoffed at the idea is over we one myself it's a recommendation they recommended. i don't see it for myself i just i just maybe i'll change my mind he didn't change his mind but as the pandemic refused to go away miraculously he mused in public about rather unorthodox treatments supposing we hit somebody with a tremendous whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light when i said supposing you brought the lady you can which you can do either through the skin or . in some other way right and then i see the disinfectant it knocks it out in a minute. by june as testing ramped up along with case numbers he seemed exasperated if you don't test you don't have any cases that we stepped right now would have very few cases if any. and he started marking the virus making racist

jokes and blaming the pandemic on china's strong it's a disease without question has more names than any disease initiative i i can name. lou i couldn't i 90 different versions of them says with the election looming he doubled down on mocking masks even during the presidential debate i don't have i don't wear masks like him every time you see he's got a mask he could be speaking 200 feet away from him he shows up with the biggest mask i've ever seen that attitude held up until the last minute at this rally in minnesota on wednesday trump threw souvenirs barehanded into a packed audience where few wore masks it remains to be seen how seriously trump's diehard supporters will now take the virus that has put their hero into quarantine

and. well joining us now while we wait for the doctor who is treating the president in washington to appear and talk to the pres is stephens he was our correspondent in washington and stacy of course remains in the studio. stefan what do you make of this upcoming statement is there some urgency behind this maybe . s. press in washington d.c. this us president is international press i would say yeah there is some urgency behind this and what i mean by that is that we finally want to get some information the white house has been yesterday very very bad actually of keeping the public the american public and us the press informed about what is going on how the president is feeling there was a lot of guesswork involved from experts doctors the pundits on national television here and and us reporters of what is going on until the white house finally decided

to say ok the president is sick and here is what we. prescribe him to take medicine again that was the red zone and. cocktail antibody cocktail which is again pointing this out stacey measures that already is not approved it's experimental it's not f.d.a. approved at all but anyway so yeah we're hoping now to get some information as a how is the president doing what about his symptoms is he getting better is he getting worse and what about the medicines other medicines he may get from the doctors not just doctor one doctor the. personal doctor of the of president of course involved in his treatment but a team of experts and those are as we're told and know are top notch people taking care of the president there. can you talk to us about walter reed is that hospital is just not any old hospital than an average house facility is it.

no it's not walter reed is short for walter reed national military medical center and they go it's in the name it's military it's a pentagon shop it's for the army during the wars in iraq and afghanistan many many many thousands of veterans. injured heavily badly injured came to walter reed this is where the military sense it's injured people this is where the president gets his treatment in walter reed this is a complex not just one building it's a complex medical complex and there is what these so-called president's offices which includes a presidential suite and this is where the president is right now and this is where his treatment happens so when you follow the complain so far and we've discussed here in the studio how would you describe tom's answer to towards the

coronavirus both from a public health perspective and also regarding his own health. as a let's let's not kid ourselves we all know and we reported about this for months and months and months the president was dismissive of corona of the coronavirus of the threat of coronaviruses he downplayed it actively he joked about it he. made anybody who came even with a mask to him 2 words him feel bad and mock people about wearing a mask and of course that was all strategy of course this was all campaign because he needs to be seen for his clientele for his voter for his days as the strong man who is not affected or impacted by anything now well this backfired now a little bit however i would not say that this will have a significant impact on his face they will still vote donald trump and will be behind their leader no matter what remember do those things that he said he

could shoot somebody on 5th avenue and they would vote for him and again this is actually still true i believe now what about the campaign how they just think the campaign is interesting to note this and stacy has alert to this already is not giving up on commercials on ads t.v. ads and they're still remain negative ads by good pay and pulled those back by joe biden the democratic candidate want to be statesman lead there and doing the right thing the campaign fault that but trump and his campaign they do not do this however but there is still manis events planned naacp with donald trump and of course the problem is he is the main magnet for the big crowds right but there will be dog jump june donald trump jr and other surrogates going to those events even mike pence perhaps and try to keep that steam rolling this campaign going this will

be difficult for them definitely because again the commander in chief the president of the united states and donald trump the core the main act of the trump campaign is in the hospital with covert 19 and he's sick. so more people surrounding the president have tested positive other theories where they could have been infected you know there's a couple of theories we were focused 24 hours ago very much on the whole picks of course the top advisor to the president as being the so to speak super spreader for covert but this is all to be taken with a grain of salt and a little bit of doubt but it seems to be the case that on saturday when donald trump nominated ms barrett as the future justice at the supreme court in the

states he pointed out in the rose garden as well as inside the white house that nobody there wore masks nobody took any precautions and that they were maybe hope peeks or others who were actually infected and already contagious with covert 19 so this is constituting a major problem because there were absolutely pictures and videos taken of for example. attorney general hugging and shaking hands with candy and conway remember kellyanne conway another top adviser of the of the president she tested positive covert 19 positive and didn't wear masks and hockey and shook hands with everybody there 3 senators from this would tend of this event now friends who are also on the judiciary committee that's why they were there it was about the nomination of the new next supreme court justice they also fall ill now and also positive with covert 19 which throw the range in for and before i explain this to

which throws a ring wrench in for mitch mcconnell the senate leader who wants to dispute the schedule very very quickly the hearings on the new to me from the for the supreme court that might be a little bit tricky. stephens events in washington please stand by we're going to come back to you later stacy thank you so far and while we wait for the statement on tom's doctor on his health status let's look again at our news of president on a virus infection 1st emerged and what treatment he's receiving. the 1st glimpses of the u.s. president since he shocked the world with his covert 19 diagnosis. here donald trump has been transferred to hospital with officials insisting it's only a precautionary measure the white house said he was 58 but in good spirits and experiencing mild symptoms before takeoff the president assured his supporters he

was doing ok. thank you everybody for the tremendous support i wouldn't you want to read or hear. you maybe you were the. first lady is doing very well. thank you very much very appreciated here they are. the white house has been on high alert after news that a top aide was diagnosed with a virus on thursday hope it's seen here in the brown coat often travels with president trump. now the race is on to trace and test the people who might have come in contact with the president. and the potential pool of people is huge with an election to win trump has been on the road addressing voters and he hasn't always won a face mask or followed social distancing guidelines. outside of walter reed trump supporters gathered to show their support for the president. but with
