a week. what do you think? connell: wow. well, we made it to friday in one way, shape or form. watch things closely over the weekend. see how it goes, you know? melissa: yes. absolutely. prayers for the president and the first lady and everyone else out this. that does it for us. see you next week. "lou -- ♪ ♪ lou: good evening, everybody. president trump and the first lady, melania trump, are being treated this hour for the china virus. both, we are told, are in good spirits but remain in isolation as they will be for at least the next several days. it remains unclear how or when the president was infected, but his positive test result came just hours after his close adviser, hope hicks, also test thed positive. republican national committee chair ronna mcdaniel and senator mike lee also tested positive today. at least 16 of president trump's

cabinet members and family were tested, they all tested negative for the china virus. that includes vice president mike pence, supreme court nominee amy coney barrett. president trump begins his treatment and isolation for the china virus just 32 days before the presidential election. joe biden and his wife tested negative for the virus today. they were campaigning in new hampshire and michigan. the trump campaign says all the previously-announced events involving the president are in the process of being moved to virtual events or are being temporarily postponed. they add that vice president mike pence will be resuming all of his scheduled campaign events, and we suspect that a few more will be added to his schedule as well. the university of utah today also said wednesday's vice presidential debate between the vice president and senator harris will go on as planned.

and within the last hour, we've learned the president is being treated by white house physician sean conley. the doctor has given the president a single 8-gram dose of an antibody cocktail from regeneral ron. they put out a press release today saying that cocktail decreases virus levels more quickly in infected but non-hospitalized patients, precisely the president and the first lady are in. the president has also been taking zinc, vitamin d, pepcid, melatonin and a daily aspirin. the president remains fatigued but in good spirits. the first lady remains asymptomatic, experiencing around a mild cough and a headache. our first guest tonight is here to give us a further understanding of what the

president and the first lady are going through now. she's a pulmonologist at nyu langone hospital and joining us tonight. doctor, it is great to have you with us. a sense first, if you will, of -- because we've all been told anyone in their 70s is a prime target for this virus -- your assessment of the president as both patient and victim of this virus. >> so, first of all, it's very important to say i am not treating the president, he's not i my patient, i don't have access to his medical records. so all i can say is what i know from the public, is we are concerned he's tested positive. he's tested every day, so we know exactly when he became infected. we are worried about two things with the president. certainly, he's in his 70s, and we know that as we become older, the virus does pose more of a risk. and we also know from the

letters that his doctors have published in may that he's 6-3 and weighs 240 pounds which puts him just in the class i obesity. on the positive side, the president has a very high functional status. we know from his records that he normally takes just some cholesterol medicines and some aspirin, so overall he is very healthy, but that could change the odds for him. and above all, he's our president. he has enormous responsibility nationally and internationally, and he's at a critical time in the election. so we're all praying for his speedy recovery, and most of all we wish the very best to his doctors and advisers who are really facing some really tough decisions. lou: the antibody cocktail of which they are now administering to the president, it is -- give

us a sense of what it does, what its intended effect is. >> so i'm afraid i was in transit, so i couldn't hear what the cocktail is that you're referring to. just tell me quickly what that is, please. lou: it's the regeneron antibody cocktail as they -- it's a treatment, obviously, for the virus. i'm unfamiliar with it too, but -- and i had no idea -- yeah. and it has just emerged in trials, so the president is an early -- >> i see. lou: -- if you will, adopter. >> right. so what i would say is i have not used that medication, i'm not familiar with it, but we do know from the various trials that have come out now that we're ten months into the pandemic that the one thing that makes a huge impact is augmenting the patient's immune response. the most famous of those

medications is steroids that we know and are used in people who are much more seriously ill than what the president is being described. and immuno-modulation channels some of the immune response to the virus. i think that that medication that they may be using is probably something to be used in exceptional circumstances because of his enormous responsibilities and because they know really day one when he's infected. we know there are many benefits to reducing the viral burden very early on in the disease process. most of us that are asymptomatic don't even know that we're infected so wouldn't be having access to that medication. but i'm sure that's sensible. i'm not familiar with the details of the agent but can quickly become so. lou: the, the president, the first lady, obviously, are showing somewhat different symptoms. she is basically asymptomatic having only a mild cough, and

the president being described as fatigued. your thoughts about that, is that pretty much what you would expect? >> yes, often. i mean, don't forget, he was tested and we heard that he was positive at 1:10 in the morning. he may have had a period of asymptomatic infection before that and not had any symptoms. it is unsurprising that he's fatigued, but also he keeps an incredibly rigorous schedule, so that's quite a nonspecific symptom, but i would expect that. and with respect, we want our first lady to become fully recovered as well, we're very much praying for her too. a cough and a headache is symptoms. so she is not a asymptomatic as somebody earlier mentioned. but these are very common. sometimes people will develop fever, but not everybodies that is acutely -- everybody that is acutely affected mounts a fever. some people without a fever feel acutely infected, and sometimes we see people with tummy upset,

a little bit of diarrhea, loss of taste, all those we're very familiar with, and i can be very confident that the physicians that are looking after the president are watching for all of these things. much more important to me -- and it may have been part of the decision making -- is how the president and the first lady are oxygenating, what their pulse ox is reading, what their blood gas is reading, what their x-rays and chest egs are like. we're now in october. the virus or that's infecting them has changed in behaviors than the virus that infected my critically ill patients in march and april. so this is going to show resolution. both the president and his wife are very likely to get better without needing any major aggressive interventions that we're all fearful of and we don't really want to speak

about. so i'm very optimistic, and i'm very hopeful, and i want the nation to be the same. lou: well, i think, i think most of us are certainly optimistic because this president is, without question, a man of great energy and drive, and right now i would say that he looks like he's going to be -- my guess is receiving the best care in the world. so the combination, i think, is on the side of america. doctor, we appreciate your time and your explanation. thank you so much, come back soon. president trump's positive china virus test has brought a host of well wish withs, of course, from americans -- well wishes, of course, from americans and leaders around the world. and while the decent people of the world hope the president and his wife recover quickly, as do we all, many on the left have shown why they are now called the party of hate. in a now-deleted tweet, former

barack obama staffer and hillary clinton spokeswoman rahim said, "i hope he dies." and "the new york times" suggested that president trump might not be, quote, able to remain on the ballot at all and may have to concede to joe biden. the "lou dobbs tonight" word of the day best describes the left's remarks today. at least in part, hyperbolic. language or action that exaggerates, overstates the truth. the other word that we would offer up is indecent. up next, president trump once again condemns white supremacists. he's been doing it for years now. why is the left so interested in ignoring his record of denouncing white supremacists? we'll take that up in just a few moments with the founder of the national movement, candace

owens. and a thank you to everyone who's made my new book a national bestseller. "the trump century: how our president changed the course of history forever," available at amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com and loudobbsshop.com. loudobbsshop.com. "the trump century." stay with us, we're coming right back. i had saved up some money and then found the home of my dreams. but my home of my dreams needed some work sofi was the first lender that even offered a personal loan. i didn't even know that was an option. the personal loan let us renovate our single family house into a multi-unit home. and i get to live in this beautiful house with this beautiful kitchen and it's all thanks to sofi.

lou: breaking news now, a george w. bush judge has sided with the chamber of commerce against the american worker. they've blocked president trump's freeze on several types of work visas for foreign workers. this is the latest overreach by a very active federal judiciary this week. federal judges blocking the president's ban of tiktok. that, of course, that ban based on the president's national security authorities which a district court judge overruled. the ruling allowed 9,000 more visa lottery winners, can and an obama judge expanded mail-in voting in montana claim aring that widespread voter fraud is fiction. the great american comeback in the economy dose on.

goes on. the labor department today reporting 661,000 jobs were created in september. under president trump's leadership, more than half of the 22 million jobs lost in, particularly in the peak months of march and april, have been are replaced. the unemployment rate also showing signs of strong recovery. the unemployment rate dropping below 8%, down to 7.9%, the same level as in october of 2012 when president trump was reelected. president trump last night once again condemning white supremacists and wondering why the national left-wing media isn't asking about joe biden and antifa. >> i have to say, i've said it many times and let me be clear again, i condemn the kkk, i condemn all white supremacists. i condemn the proud boys. i don't know much about the proud boys, almost nothing, but i condemn that. but he should condemn, also,

antifa. antifa a's a horrible group of people. they kill people, they -- what they do to people, and they're causing insurrection, they're causing riots. he doesn't want to do that, but the press doesn't go after him, and that's a really bad group of people. but i condemn them. and if i say it a hundred, if i say it a hundred times, it won't be enough because it's fake news. lou: well, joining us tonight, founder of the ble, and it foundation, candace owens with. she's also the best selling author of "blackout: how black america can make its second escape from the democrat plantation." candace, great to have you with us and thanks for being here. let's start with what is a strange, strange, almost psychosis on the part of the left-wing media. and that is to demand a

president continue to denounce hate groups as he's done for more than four years now as a candidate and as a president. your thoughts. >> stranger still is the fact that we have so many hate groups running amok that are actually burning and looting america, and they are not demanding -- as the president mentioned -- for joe biden to denounce those groups. poem people across america have no idea who the proud boys are. everybody knows exactly who antifa is. i've had my own confrontation with antifa where they talked me out of -- stalked me out of a restaurant, through eggs and water at me. you're seeing a 2016 election strategy from the democrats that just repeatedly try to smear and libel him as a white supremacist with absolutely zero proof, less proof in 2020 after he's had an outstanding time in office approaching all the issues black

americans have been facing. he just rolled out his platinum plan for black america, he went after the crime bill of 1994. so it's bizarre that they're running this play again expecting different results when america, i believe, is much more aware of the fact that this is a leftist tactic. lou: and it is curious that the left-wing media continues to try to bully this president. and i use the word add advisedly, because they're backed up by some of the biggest corporations in america. this is the fake news. the president has done a great service to the nation in pointing out that these outlets are fake and fraudulent and ambitious. but left unsaid too often is the relationship they have to their owners whether it be amazon's jeff bezos and the washington post, whether it be comcast and nbc, where it be at&t and cnn or

walt disney. you know, the funny little creatures hardly go, they hardly are in harmony with the viciousness of cnn. it is -- and abc news. it's really remarkable how few people are paying attention to the ugly areness of corporate -- ugliness of corporate america and the amazing power they hold over our major corporate media and the lengths they're going to to intimidate this president, to block him, subvert him and even overthrow him. >> you are exactly right. and what's really remarkable about the corporations getting behind these movements, the nba even painting the ground black lives matter, they're encouraging people to give money to an organization. there has still not been any clarity regarding where the money goes, the billions of dollars that black lives matter has a raised using the faces of dead black people. where does the money going? no schools have been back, no black lives matter campus, no

black lives matter tower, company or structure that we could take a look at. so this is also, i mean, a remarkably interesting situation in terms of the fact that they've raised so much money, and the money is not going to black americans. so what i always say is these corporations, we're really seeing they use black americans, and we don't know to further what cause. in my personal opinion, this is about gaining political power by any means necessary, and race has always been an issue in america that they feel they can manipulate to the best of their a ability and garner that power. lou: black lives matter, it was stunning to hear the vice president -- a very disturbed and, well, i think misplaced fbi director saying that black lives matter is not an organization when clearly it is. and it is a national organization, in part it's international. not much of an international

presence, but enough to make it international. i think the damning thing here is that this vice president saying that and christopher wray in saying that means we're not going to have an investigation of black lives matter which we know has been the foundation and the driving force behind so many street riots, vicious vandalism and arson in many cities, democrat-run cities, across the country. your thoughts about the need for that investigation and why it's not taking place. >> correct. and i'll add to that by saying calling antifa an idea. it wasn't an idea that chased me out of that restaurant on a monday morning and threw eggs and water at me. when you're talking about them failing to acknowledge that this is an organized group of domestic terrorists in our country, black lives matter, antifa, what they're really doing is trying to accept everything that they're doing. and here's the most important part, lou, whose neighborhoods

are they rioting and looting and burning down? black americans'. that is the irony. they go into black american neighborhoods, take away black american jobs, industries, and they do it all until name of saying somehow they're fighting against racism. yes, i think they're setting the stage because they view, in my opinion, for democrats antifa is what ku klux klan was back in the civil rights era. this is their terror arm. they expect them to go out on the streets and terrorize individuals while they stand behind in suits and pretend they don't know what's going on, and they know perfectly well what is going on. lou: and "blackout," you new best selling book, is it your judgment now that we're going to see a significant shift in black americans moving from the democratic party to the republican party for this election? >> for this election and beyond. and i'll tell you what, i think the democrats know that.

what we're seeing today, you know, my husband always says with the left they seem like they're going crazy, but it's the last squeals of a dying animal. they know that black americans are waking up, so they're doing all they can to hold on to power by creating all of this distrust and confusion and anger and socioeconomic wars inside the country because they're losing their grip and power and control. and this president has delivered all of the promises that he promised back in 2016. i have predicted for the three years we're going to see 20 points in 2020, and i think we're still going to be on target for that in a few weeks when americans head to the polls. lou: candace, great to have you with us. congratulations on your new book. congratulations on your bestseller. as always, candace owens, thanks for being with us. breaking news now. president trump, we have just learned, will be going this evening to walter reed medical center. we don't have any guidance as to when he will be leaving the

white house. white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany just released this statement: president trump remains in good spirits, has mild symptoms and has been working throughout the day. out of an abundance of caution and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the president will be working from the presidential offices at walter reed for the next few days. president trump appreciates the outpouring of support for both himself and the first lady. coming up next, california's radical dem governor making it more difficult for counties to reopen their economies. california being california. we take that up and more after the break with author alex warnson. stay is us -- alex berenson. stay with us, we'll be right back. my mom has super powers. it's like she can see the future. what?! it's like she time travels in a rocket ship.

lou: well, as we reported in the previous segment, the president is expected to go to walter reed

hospital out of an abundance of caution where he'll be working for the next several days according to press secretary kayleigh mcenany. and as you see there, marine one is, it appears to be on standby just outside the white house ready to take the president to walter reed in bethesda, maryland. and we will be going back to that very picture as soon as we see any kind of movement, of course, and the emergence of the president. the "lou dobbs tonight" quotation of the day is from my book "the trump century" about china. in it i write, quote: china authored the wuhan virus whether accidentally or intentionally and spread it to an unsuspecting world instead of warning anyone. china created the worst crisis for the united states since world war ii and is responsible

for the deadliest attack on the united states in its history. joining us tonight to take all of this up and more, alex berenson, former new york times reporter. he is the author of "unreported truths about covid-19 and lockdowns," and, alec, we appreciate your -- alex, we appreciate your being with us. i want to begin, if i may -- i should say we recommend your book highly. i do want to start with the president, get your thoughts, give you an opportunity to share those with us tonight before we go on into the issue of the pandemic. >> sure. so, so look, the president is 74 years old, he is somewhat overweight. those are, unfortunately, rusk factors for -- risk factors for serious complications from the coronavirus. the odds are very much that he will, you know, he'll have a mild or mod a rate course of illness, that he won't get very

sick, that he certainly won't need to be ventilated, that he won't die. the odds are very strongly in his favor. but the fact that he is sick and he is of an age, you know, where the virus can cause those complications -- rarely, but it can -- is something we all need to be aware of. the fact that he's going to to the hospital, it's sort of hard to know exactly how to read that. you know, the press secretary is saying an abundance of caution. i would think that given, you know, given the politics around this he wouldn't go to the hospital unless his physicians told him it was necessary. but, you know, from the outside it's hard to know. the experience of boris johnson, the prime minister of england, you know, he was hospitalized for a number of days, and he was actually transferred to the intensive care unit and, ultimately, he recovered and he's, you know, he's been out of the hospital and fine for the last six months. but there were a few days when he was in the icu, and he has

said that there was a chance that he would need to be ventilated, although he was not. ventilation is a pretty serious step, and we should all hope it doesn't reach that point. i mean, i think whatever your politics are -- lou: i think -- >> -- we should all hope that the president has a mild course here because, you know, or it's bad for the country, you know, if he becomes serious lu ill. lou: yeah. i think this nation is still, its people are still decent enough that they can hope for the best for this president, pray for the best for this president. period. without, you know, much more embroidery than that. that seems, to me, to be all that would be lawyered, to pray for the -- required, to pray for the man and his quick recovery -- >> i mean, lou -- [inaudible conversations] lou: i would like, if i may -- >> sorry. lou: i'm sorry? >> i was saying, as you know, there's a lot of people who

really dislike donald trump, and you didn't have to look far on twitter to see expressions of pleasure that he was sick. first of all, that's not a very humane way to behave, but second of all, even if you hate donald trump, it's not good for the united states and the world to have him be sick. thiess look at it that way even if you don't have the humanity to say i hope he recovers. lou: i don't think there's a chance in the world, alec, that your re-- alex, that your remarks, as warm and well-intended as they are and correct, will influence in any way the left in this country that has proved to be so ignorant, so vile that they play politics with the national emergency of the china virus itself, they ignore reality, they distort reality, and they are trying to upend this country as they have tried to upend this president and his, his presidency. so i salute you for your

thoughts and your care, but i think of we have to accept the reality. the, the idea that democrats right now, following your point, they're demanding that mitch mcconnell, the majority leader, stop the barrett hearings for the new justice-to-be because of the concerns for the health of all of the august senators who behaved in the most indecent ways in the previous kavanaugh justice hearings. your thoughts on that as we wrap up. we've got about a minute. >> sure. i mean, that's not really, i mean, i try to stick to talking about the coronavirus and not so much the politics around it. i would leave you with one thought which is, you know, the president can be criticized for not wearing a mask, he's being criticized for not wearing a mask. it's really important to talk about the science here. there is no evidence that a

non-n95 mask would have protected him at all. now, there's limited to no evidence that it might have protected the people around him, although the evidence is very weak, but there's no evidence that wearing a kind of mask that most people wear most of the time would have made any difference in his becoming sick or not, and i just think it's important to emphasize that point. lou: no, and i'm glad you did. it's also, i guess we're back to where we began. i have have to say right you are, the left won't give a damn. alex berenson, thanks for being with us, we appreciate it. coming up next, judicial watch president tom fitton. we take up the deep state's latest, latest assault on the republic. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ get real-time insights in your customized view of the market. it's smarter trading technology for smarter trading decisions. fidelity.

lou: breaking news now, the obama ste department knew that burisma, the ukrainian energy company, made a second bribe to stop a corruption investigation in ukraine. "just the news" editor-in-chief john solomon reporting that ambassador to ukraine marie yovanovitch told assistant secretary of state victoria nuland about that plot three weeks before president trump took office. in her memo, the ambassador acknowledged hunter biden's position on the burisma board of

directors. philadelphia is behaving like a, well, third world country in the minds of many. a philadelphia radio reporter tested the security at one of philadelphia's election storage warehouses where a number of technical devices tied to voting machines were stolen previously. he says there is no security guard, there are no security cameras, and he videoed himself walking around as you see here the voting machines for the city of philadelphia. it was several minutes until an employee even noticed that he was there. well, joining us now, tom fitton, the president of judicial watch. his new book is "a republic under assault: the left's ongoing attack on american freedom." it's available for preorder now, ands it is good to have you with us, good to see you, tom. >> hi, lou. lou: let's start with philadelphia. it's a city out of control.

it is a city that is massively politically corrupt. there is nothing that really can be done unless the justice department decides to intervene. is that a fair statement? >> yeah. we're, you know, the train's left the station on all this abuse in many ways. the ballots are being mailed out, the early voting's taking place, and they're trying to keep any outside supervision or monitoring away. you know, why would they do that other than perhaps they don't want people seeing what they're really up to? we're in litigation in pennsylvania to try to clean up their rolls, lou, and they just told the court in our litigation, essentially, they have no idea how many dirty names are on the rolls. you had the -- lou: i'm sorry, who doesn't know? >> the state. [laughter] the state has no idea. they're giving conflicting

numbers -- lou: i see. >> and they admitted they told the federal government earlier that the numbers they have, the numbers they gave earlier were wrong. so it's a nightmare scenario in the sense that we've got these dirty voting rolls, and there's no good way -- as you point out because the justice department is awol -- of making sure that everyone who's voting is eligible to vote. no voter id in pennsylvania, by the way. lou: so what should the american people expect, tom? what should they expect on november 3rd? because the justice department is not intervening, the justice department is not in any way assuring electoral integrity. i have heard nothing from the homeland security department about what they are doing to assure the integrity of voting machines across the country and to prevent foreign -- what is really hilarious about this is the concern on the part of the

left about russian and chinese and iranian influence in these elections. they're worried about that kind of meddling when the meddling we should be worried about is that of the left and the radical dems. they are out of control, they've made it clear what they're going to do. by the way, nothing short of burning down cities if the vote doesn't go their way. what are we dealing with, and why is it that the justice department has neither the principle, nor the courage to defend the constitution and protect the vote? >> well, the justice department is largely run by left-wing partisan democrats, and there's a few appointees of president trump. and, obviously, they're riding a tiger over there, and they're unable to do anything i effective in this area of the law. i'm concerned there'll be chaos about the it results to of the election because, as you know, the left plans to be counting votes weeks after election day. the left also plans, with the help of big tech, to suppress

and censor concerns about voter fraud at this election without end that the left plans in order, in my view, to guarantee a result. and i might -- and if you read "the new york times", if you read their planning documents, they're planning violence. they're planning to threaten secession from the union in order to get their electoral college slate seated. they're planning to push at the congress and, if necessary -- according to the law, even nancy pelosi's talking about this now, that if there's no -- lou: so why is it -- >> -- no settled president by january 20th, lou, nancy pelosi, in theory, or becomes acting president. lou: the more proximate fear for me is that the justice department and the white house itself are seemingly paralyzed in inaction to stop what we are

being told by the left themselves they will do. at what point does this rise to the level of insurrection? at a what point does the justice department is have to, are to stand up for the united states instead of a party? namely, the party of hate? >> well, i mean, in the least, lou, i hope they're thinking about violence and intimidation around are election day and shortly thereafter. places where votes are going to be counted, are they secure? what if antifa targets them? why is it we think that the left-wing communist insurrection that's ongoing now in several cities is going to stop on election day or won't dramatically increase after election day especially if it looks like the results are good for president trump? these are dangerous times we're in, and i don't want this to happen, but the left has been talking about it happening. and when you, when i see it talked about in "the new york

times", i think our ears ought to be pricked up as a result. lou: tom fitton, judicial watch. thanks for being with us, tom. up next, a look at marine one. marine one now at the white house standing at the ready to take president trump to walter reed hospital. that after his doctor said it is simply a decision he made to, well, out of an i abundance of caution according to the white house press secretary, kayleigh mcenany. he will be working from walter reed at the presidential suite for the next several days, we are told. next here, pastor robert jeffress talked with the president today. he joins us right after these quick messages. stay with us. for it's the ones that got away that haunt me the most.

they're transferring him to the walter reed hospital, medical center if you prefer, for -- out of an abundance of caution which i think -- >> yes. lou: -- is exactly the right prescription out of an abundance of caution for any patient, but certainly for the president and the first lady. your thoughts. >> well, lou, i talk or communicated with several of husband inner circle today. they said the president was in great spirits. you know, he is as tough as a bull -- [laughter] and i think he's going to recover from this quite rapidly. lou, this is a time for all americans to be praying for the president. and, look, that's easy for me to do. he's a friend, i think he's the greatest president in my life time, if not history, but i think the bible says we should pray for those even if we don't support them. and, you know, there are people out there, i don't understand it, that actually hate this president. and as a pastor, nothing causes hate to disappear any more than praying for somebody. you can't hate somebody you're

praying for. and so i would encourage everyone out there to pray for this president because, after all, in the end we are one nation under god. lou: we are. but god has chosen to let us make our way in this nation, and we find ourselves on the precipice of the abyss, in my opinion. and the left has made it clear where they want this country to go, which is basically to end this country as we know it and create something new. it is a very difficult thing for me to do, to rationalize what i hear from the left and the radical dems have become a party of hate. it is, it's difficult for, i think, anyone who is religious, who is spiritual and who cared deeply about this country to

tolerate much more of what we're seeing. >> well, that's right, lou. i mean, you have in washington, d.c. saying a church of 100 can't meet outside, and yet they allow thousands of protesters to not just protest, but rye -- riot in the streets without any intervention at all. that's the kind of agenda the left has, to shut down the churches, shut down people of faith and allow anarchy to reign. and that's why we must turn out on november 3rd or before to support the greatest president of our lifetime. if not, anarchy is going to rule, first amendment rights are going to be squelched, and we won't be able to recognize this country three years from now if donald trump does not regain re-election. lou: well, i think he is the historic president of oured modern era in this country, and certainly with abraham lincoln

the greatest president. in my judgment, even without all of that he'd still be an easy man to pray for, and i know that everybody watching here this evening will join you in doing so. >> yes. lou: we will do exactly that for the president and the first lady and for all who are suffering from this terrible china virus pandemic. pastor robert jeffress, great to see you. thank you a great deal. before we go to break, a reminder my new national bestseller, "the trump century: how our president changed the course of history forever," get your copies at loudobbsshop.com and stay with us. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ there's my career, my cause, my choir. i'm a work in progress. so much goes into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. prescription dovato is for adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment and who aren't resistant to either of the medicines
