think. have a great night with the ones you love. "hannity" is next. hi, sean. >> sean: tucker, thank you. great show. welcome to "hannity." we begin tonight with a fox news alert. 3, 2, 1, 9:00 in the east, 352 delegates are up for grabs. fox news is projecting joe biden will win missouri and mississippi. polls have closed in michigan. fox news can make a call in that race. my opening monologue in just a minute. first, we head to our decision desk. bret and martha standing by with the big news. >> sean, it's 9:00 in new york. the decision desk can predict that joe biden will beat bernie sanders in the crucial state of michigan. which sanders won of course four years ago. >> it's the biggest victory of the night for biden who earlier, as you said, won mississippi and also missouri. the fox projection is based on

our polling of early voters and those that cast their ballots today as well as data from sample precincts. we'll be back with updates throughout the evening and a 11:00 p.m. roundup of all of the election news tonight, sean. back to you. >> sean: bret and martha. thank you. bill hemmer now for who is going to be impacted delegate-wise in terms of the delegate count. you get to 15%, it's proportionate distribution. bill, what do you got? bill hemmer is somewhere. >> sean, i can hear you. you want to hang with me a moment here? >> sean: of course, i do. >> i'm going to tell you a story. okay? tell you a story that i'm seeing here that is very significant for people to understand. take you to michigan. i want you to focus on two things, sean. 41% of the vote. biden over bernie sanders. this is where sanders is underperforming and biden is

overperforming. significant. this is university of michigan. bernie sanders was there saturday night. 15,000 people. aoc was there as well. bernie is 49% over joe biden. four years ago, this is where sanders was in the same county. at 55%. he's 5% overperforming four years later. this is detroit, wayne county. oakland county suburbs, critical in the fall. the suburbs out of detroit. joe biden is almost at 50% of the vote there in oakland county. four years ago, hillary clinton was doing 51%. again, biden is overperforming in critical areas. hang with me. here is your calendar in march. in two weeks, you have the georgia primary. 105 delegates in two weeks. next week, we have big ones,

too. arizona, florida, illinois and ohio. florida is the biggest one of all next tuesday at 219 delegates. here's what we find in terms of polling in florida. as of today, sean, in the state of florida, joe biden is clocking 61%. even if it's not accurate, if it's close to being accurate, you can make a fair argument for the following way the race is shaping up. all of this area in the southeast, we called mississippi for joe biden. look what he did in alabama. 63% of the vote there. ten days ago, sean, it was only ten days ago, south carolina. ten days ago he was almost 50% of the vote in south carolina. my point is you can now start to make an argument for georgia in two weeks, maybe florida next week and the whole part of this country goes joe biden's way. it's starting to shape up a race in favor of the former vice president in a significant way.

he's outperforming bernie sanders in places where he should not if sanders wants to catch up. >> sean: great analysis. we'll be checking in throughout the evening on the big board. that tells the story. we'll have the live updates throughout the hour as the critical primary night unfolds. as it stands now, quid pro quo joe has cemented his frontrunner status over bernie sanders. joe biden is struggling. everybody sees it. the media mob and democratic party may try to ignore it. it is now official and it is beyond alarming if we're going to be honest and truthful as a country. frankly, it's hard to watch. the confusion, the inability to finish thoughts, the never-ending daily gaffes, the bursts of anger should concern every american. looks like he will be the democratic nominee. this should be regardless of any political view. he's now forgotten barack obama's name. he confused his wife for his

sister. he called super tuesday super thursday. he mixed up chris wallace for chuck todd, which was an insult to chris wallace. he said 150 million americans died from gun violence. not true. he told a crowd in south carolina he was running for the senate. as a matter of fact, we have examples just from the past few weeks. we have our list. it's ongoing. he cannot control his agitation. totally enraged joe biden when a construction worker at an auto plant dared to ask him about this clip. we'll show you the clip first because it turns out, the construction worker at the auto plant was right about biden talking about taking assault rifles. here's the clip that proves the guy is right which we'll play in a second. >> so to gun owners out there that say a biden administration means they're coming for my

guns. >> bingo, you're right if you have an assault weapon. they should be illegal, period. >> sean: he said it. so maybe biden again just doesn't remember saying that. he only said it in august of 2019. maybe he doesn't remember that he recently anointed beto o'rourke to lead his gun confiscation policy. beto say we're going to take your ar-15s or in biden's case 14s.whatever the case may be, what i'm about to show you should be concerning to every american. this is one incident of many incidents that have been taking place. take a look. >> sean: the only problem is, the construction worker at an auto plant was 1000% right.

joe says he's full of beep and he wants his vote. then he shhh's a staffer. that's not all. take a look. >> sean: joe biden comparing the second amendment to yelling fire in a crowded room. he says my sons love hunting and that he's not trying to take away guns while he was on tape saying the same thing which he immediately contradicts. watch this.

>> sean: your a horse's ass. in all my life, i thought i owned 15s. i didn't know they were 14s. that is the frontrunner of the democratic party, shh-ing a woman on his staff. by the way, who seems to be trying to help him get out of another troubling situation. great way to treat people, trying to save you from yourself, joe. then sticking his finger in the face of a construction worker at an auto plant calling him a horse's ass saying that he's full of bleep. according to one cbc reporter, biden threatened to slap the man. on top of it all, he can't distinguish between an ar-15 and 14. staff tried to rush him out of the room. get out of the way. maybe not a big deal normally. but with joe, it's cumulatively a huge deal. this type of agitated behavior is part of an increasing

disturbing pattern. the past few months, he's called one voter fat, a damn liar. called a young woman a dog faced pony soldier. that's the tip of the iceberg. we have tape of all of it. take a look. >> was a democratic caucus. ever been to a caucus? no, you haven't. you're a lying dog faced pony soldier. now you have to be honest. i'm going to be honest with you. >> your a damn liar. that's not true. nobody has ever said that. you want to check my shape? let's do pushups. let's do whatever you want to do. >> you said i set up my son to work in an oil company. >> i have two words for you -- >> here's the deal. >> we have to stop building and replacing pipelines. >> go vote for someone else. new campaign slogan. does that seem like the behavior of a grounded balanced lucid

individual? joe 303030 or on other occasions, joe 233 -- better get it right. 303300 is running for the hardest, the most demanding, the most powerful job in the world. there's no harder job than being the president of the united states of america. so i'll ask again, does this 77-year-old guy we're watching every day now, does he have the stamina, does he have the focus, the alertness, the mental focus, mental toughness and the mental stability to be president? it's a fair question. is this how he's going to treat world leaders? quid pro joe looks frail to me. is he going to invite putin to a fight or pushup context or little rocket man? they'll kick his ass. it's so bad that the biden campaign are trying to cover for quid pro quo joe. trying to keep him out of the public spotlight. in other words, they're hiding

him from the world. a great campaign strategy. hide your candidate. we can't trust what he's going to do or say. a disaster. according to "the washington post" in his rally in st. louis this weekend, he spoke for a whopping 7 minutes. i can see people waiting in line for hours to hear that in kansas city. he spoke for 12 minutes. his longest speech of the weekend didn't hit the 15-minute mark. his big rally tonight was cancelled after the campaign cited coronavirus concerns although he will speak in philadelphia. like father like son, hunter biden is using the coronavirus as an excuse. remember, he denied paternity in a case in arkansas. now he's skipping out of child support hearings because of the coronavirus. i'd argue because he doesn't want to turn over his finances. that would expose him in the burisma case and china case.

by the way, arkansas has zero cases of coronavirus. back to quid pro quo joe. he can't be trusted to speak more than seven minutes by his own campaign. that is seven minutes with a teleprompter. he wants to lead the free world. let's pause. let's take that in. let's think about that. of course, when quid pro quo joe actually does hold an event more than seven minutes, it's a struggle. every time a struggle is guaranteed to ensue. monday's rally in detroit became totally derailed after an interruption from a few anti-nafta protesters. take a look. >> i didn't -- are you a donald trump -- that's all right. let him go. it's not a trump rally. it's not a trump rally. let him go. let him go. let him go.

the bernie bros are here. let him go. folks, folks, let him go. that's okay. >> sean: herein lies another serious problem for quid pro quo joe. he can't hide from what is a real horrific track record. look at your screen. here's a few of joe's top accomplishments. let's see. nafta, disastrous trade deal. oh, giving mullahs $150 billion in cash. and millions lost their doctors and millions lost their plans. 37% of the country has one obama exchange care option. that's it. and premiums, average family, did you save $2,500 on average? no. we're paying 200% more. let's not forget the horrific economic track record. i tell it often. 13 million more americans food

stamps, lower labor participation rate since the 70s. the lowest homeownership, the worst recovery since the 40s, more debt than the four previous administrations combined. not a bad record under trump. new trade deals, the wall being built, promises made and kept open the trade deals and guess what? america is doing better than ever. record low unemployment for every demographic in this country. now, by the way, an attack against the administration over a virus. apparently that is fair game. 17,000 americans died from h1n1. that was the swine flu. that was handled under biden obama. biden voted in favor of the iraq war, but he did an interview and he told lawrence o'donnell at msdnc that he did vote for a war to prevent a war from happening.

he voted for a war to prevent a war from happening. excuse me? take a look. >> the reason i voted the way i did was to try to prevent a war from happening. remember, the threat was the go to war. the argument was because saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction. so he said that i need to be able to get the security council to agree to send in inspectors to put pressure on saddam to find out whether or not he's using -- producing nuclear weapons. at the time i said that's your reason? all right. i get it. that was the -- the rationale was that's the way not to go to war. >> sean: i voted for a war so we wouldn't have a war. okay. doesn't matter how short biden's speeches get. he can't hide from his horrific track record. he can't hide from the fact that you're not getting a billion unless you fire the prosecutor

investigating my zero experience son hunter who was paid millions. can't hide the investigation ongoing that is happening in ukraine. donald trump had nothing to do with it. also happening with senator ron johnson in the u.s. senate. how many other millions of dollars did zero experience hunter make there? that will be fair game in the next 238 days. he sure as hell can't hide the increasing amount of let's be charitable, senior moments on the campaign trail and potential head-to-head matchup with president trump. no stone will be left unturned. you the american people will be the ultimate jury. 238 days, you have the opportunity to shock the world again. here now with reaction, fox news contributor, ari fleischer, reince priebus. good to see you both. ari, start with you tonight. things he can't hide from. this is getting alarming, his behavior. the democratic party wants to admit it or not or the media mob wants to admit it, these moments

are troubling. a, he can't hide from the fact that he leveraged a billion dollars and bragged about it and his son was paid millions with no experience. china is next on the countries after that. he can't hide from the track record that i just mentioned as it relates to iran and as it relates to the economy after eight years. he's probably the likely nominee tonight. how does it shape out? >> well, shapes up as a good good race. i don't think it's over in the late innings. it's late for bernie to come back but it's not over. here is what is dogging joe biden going forward with five minute speeches. is joe biden okay? nobody gives five and seven minutes running for speeches when they're running for president unless the staff gets you off the stage. that's a problem. >> sean: and president trump has

an abundance of energy. he has more energy than 40 40-year-olds. he hardest job is being my teleprompter guy or trump's teleprompter guy. i ad lib all over the place. if problem is, if you can't give more than a seven minute speech, you're not up to run the job as president. doesn't it mean if you're blunt and honest tonight? >> well, one other tough job is being chief of staff. you know, the secret to my life has been -- people ask me, it's always outworking everyone around me. he truly is a person that i have not -- i had not been able to outwork. john think john kelly could, i don't think mick could or mark meadows can. it's something like weekend at bernies. if you're the biden campaign --

this is real. they're going to hide biden, have hit scripted. very simple campaign. talk about gun violence, a little bit about healthcare. all about donald trump. a referendum up or down on donald trump. they're going to give the ball to the trump campaign. what the trump campaign is going to do is what you did is talk about all the great things that happened. the economy, jobs, wages, isis. the world is safer, america is safer, stronger. they're going to give us all the time on the clock. we're going to have to remind the american people the truth. they're going to sit back and wait and put the referendum on the ballot and say, hey, do you like donald trump? yes or no. that's the election right there. >> sean: so now these moments, his record now front and center. whatever is going on with biden and i think the american people can see it all in spite of the media basically having a blackout on these moments, ari,

doesn't look good. they're not starting from a position of strength by any stretch of the imagination. so if you're running the biden campaign, what are you advising tonight? >> give five-minute speeches. there's something about joe biden when you see the gaffes, the question is the old joe biden that use put together a coherent sentence or the new joe biden that is stumbling and bumbling every day on the stump. if it's the ladder, you have to hide him. everything is a staged event. the biden advantage is the mainstream media. this is where there will be a segment of the left that is barely ever going to want to see the gaffes and stumbles. they don't have reason to wonder about his capacity because they won't see it. the trump campaign has to tell everybody. >> sean: last word, rence.

>> biden is on the 2008 joe biden. that's his survival. you keep the 2020 joe biden in the minds of the american people. that's what they're going to try to do. >> sean: ari and reince priebus, thanks very much. now to an important update on the coronavirus. we care about every american life. wouldn't it be great if our scientists, medical researchers, the best in the world, those that advance our lives, cure our diseases, advance treatments, wouldn't it be great if we could cure everything one day? we have the best people working on behalf of the american people to keep us healthy. thank you if you're in that industry. the weaponization, politicizing, hysteria surrounding this particular case, coronavirus is reckless, it isser responsible, it's dangerous. here's one example. courtesy of "new york times." remember them? yeah, that would be the

newspaper that said it's the trump virus and if you're feeling terrible, you know who to blame. here's bret stephens. >> people said this is china's chernobyl. it's trump's chernobyl. there's some things you can't lie and spin your way through, like a virus out of control just as the soviet government couldn't lie its way through atomic particles going through the air in ukraine. >> sean: here's what we discovered on this show based on the investigation. we've been right for three years and the things we've told the american people. those people are lying and pedalling conspiracy theories and hoaxes. the exact same people that pushed russia, russia, ukraine, ukraine. impeach, impeach. those exact same people, we've identified them as the leaders in politicizing a virus. scaring americans and of course blaming donald trump. if the dog bites, feeling sad, blame trump.

we'll show you the worst examples coming up. let's lay out key facts. truth matters, context matters. especially when you talk about a disease that puts fear in the hearts of people. that's what we do. we want truth. we're not the media mob. you think working together to keep americans safe, this is not -- we might agree on this. apparently not with trump rage psychosis unfortunately. so far in the united states, there's been around 30 deaths. most of which came from one nursing home in the state of washington. the average age of mortality is 80 in this country. the most at risk, and this is very important, older people with underlying medical issues, the elderly. people, by the way, you know, that have compromised immune systems. people getting chemotherapy, in need -- have some type of immune deficiencies. healthy people generally, 99%

recover very fast. even if they contract it. by the way, still any deaths are tragic. we want everybody to live. put it in perspective. 26 people were shot in chicago alone over the weekend. i doubt you heard about it. you notice there's no widespread hysteria about violence in chicago. and this has gone on for years and years and years. by the way, democratic-run cities, we see a lot of that. senior director of infection prevention, johns hopkins university, just wrote "as of yesterday, the flu is showing much more of an impact on americans than coronavirus." the flu. now, again, perspective. the standard flu every single year kills tens of thousands of americans. does truth matter? well, i wish nobody died from the flu. i hope nobody else dies from coronavirus. we don't want any people dying. i lost my parents.

it sucks. at the very epicenter of coronavirus in china, new cases are now in a dramatic decline. about the 80,000 hospitalizations in china, 56,000 released, 19,000 are on their way to getting well. they lost 3,000 people. that is a lot. in this country, h1n1, we lost over 14,000 people. this is the china coronavirus. by the way, not enough has been said about this. china has not been forthcoming. they've not been helpful. we could have been there from the very beginning. they weren't telling us the truth. they've not helped the world. according to multiple reports, china has muzzled their own scientists, suppressed information. i talked to my sources. they're accepting some american expertise in health that they denied in the beginning. they're spreading conspiracy theories. the united states and donald trump is to blame for the creation of coronavirus. i told you that would come.

i was making it up last night. i said you watch. next thing you'll say, donald trump created it with putin in a laboratory with ukrainians and russians. let's be clear. it started in the wuhan area of china. the totalitarian government grossly mishandled the situation. now the world is paying for china's widespread negligence. meanwhile here at home, look what the trump administration has done. they've taken aggressive action to slow the disease and save lives and prevent americans from contracting the disease. by far end of sentence, the single best decision that was made for the safety of the american people so they wouldn't contract this disease was made by the president. we identified corona january 7. three short weeks later after we identified it, the president unprecedented issued in record

tim a travel ban from china. he also implemented mandatory quarantines which hasn't happened in a long time, decades. almost from day one. now, okay. where were the democrats on this? biden was calling the president and his decision for a travel ban, he's xenophobic. the most important decisions from the get go that prevented thousands of americans from contracting this virus. no democrat would do it. bernie said he wouldn't have done it. joe excoriated the president from doing it. probably would be worse in the president did not act that quickly. by the way, it was the fastest ever implementation in history. more recently, the president signed off $8 billion response package. we need it. good. let's help americans. now the president has said he will help, offer tax relief, financial aid for those industries. for example, if you work in the cruise industry, you're doing to be impacted by this.

we're going to help you. by the way, maybe you're an hourly wage worker. we're going to help you too. your job will be safe and you get the money you deserve. now, some might say, we didn't have enough test kits. that has been rectified in just the last week. we now have the test kits. they're all going out. the overwhelming response to this disease has been aggressive and thorough from day one. even the liberal governor, i have to give a shout out, gavin newsome praising president trump and his current response. he told reporters, the administration said and did everything i could have hoped for and they followed through on all of their promises. the coronavirus pose as lot of serious risks and a lot of serious challenges. this is not the end of days. it's not the end of the world. sadly these viruses pop up time to time.

pandemics happen. time to time. here with reaction, fox news correspondent, dan bongino and geraldo rivera. h1n1 is a good indicator. by the time we lost 10,000 americans, the health and human services secretary of obama-biden said it's an emergency to get funds. the official emergency by the president was six months later. 1,000 dead americans. i don't remember this hysteria, do you? >> no, there was not the same hysteria. there was some. swine flu, ebola, west nile virus. in each case, there was an initial apprehension, real anxiety. then things calmed down when people realized that the federal government had control of the situation. when you look at the panel the president has put together led by vice president pence, you have anthony fauci.

the cdc is on the panel. the surgeon general is on the panel. they're doing everything possible, extremely competent and doing an excellent job. i think that they will calm people as the -- we're going to go up before we go down in terms of the number of cases. the more we soothe people now but we want people to use precautions. wash your happened. stop shaking hands. i want you to tell the president, when you talk too him tonight, geraldo said for the good of the nation, stop shaking hands. it's a bad example. we don't need it. you're brave. you want to be engaged. fine. you're doing a terrific job. everybody follow the same simple steps. >> sean: i don't want to shake your hand, geraldo. i'm kidding. we'll do the elbow. the hannity elbows. dan knows about it. just basic common sense. if there's any good news here,

it's the 99%, if god forbid you contract it, you'll be fine. we have to worry about mostly the elderly, those with underlying medical conditions, compromised immune systems. what they're doing, dan, is unconscionable, what we're saying. the same people that did russia. lies for three years. ukraine. impeach. same cast of characters. >> no, it's abhorrent. the media's primary focus, some at msnbc, has been to call you racist if you refer to it as the wuhan virus. this isn't a joke, this is -- i'm not talking about b teamers. i'm talking about prominent personalities on other networks that are concerned about calling people racist that refer to a virus that originated in wuhan like the ebola virus originated

near the ebola river. i mean, this is phenomenal. this is like a new low. but what is the important take-away from this, sean, why focusing on that, there's an opportunity cost. think about what they're not focusing on. telling the public what the trump administration is doing to clear up regulations to allow these tests to get out there. ambassador birx mentioned it. multiple tests overseas, on foreign soil for people before you get on a plane and come to this country. you hear about that? probably not. one more. what about the nursing homes? where a lot of the problems in nursing homes can be severe. they told regulators, primary thing now, infection control. we're going to do this and stop this. you're not hearing about that because they're calling it the wuhan virus racist. this is what they're wasting their time on. >> sean: last word, geraldo. >> it is the wuhan virus. what about west nile?

>> west nile river is near uganda. come on, china. get over it. one thing this has revealed, sean, very important, this epidemic has revealed that we are dependent on china for many of our vital pharmaceuticals. how can that be? how come we rely on our strategic enemy for our -- something as vital as anti-viral medication? >> sean: who is stopping that? >> we need a strategic reserve in pharmaceuticals like we a strategic reserve in oil. >> sean: the trump administration has taken action to combat the coronavirus. the media can't help using what is a serious health threat to

bludgeon president trump. take a look. >> this is the worst case scenario that you get from a government that doesn't know what they're doing and is willing to lie to the people about things that will keep them alive. >> donald trump who throughout his life he looked at the world through a prism of how things affect his personal and financial political fortunes. i wonder if he's capable to put the country's well-being first. >> the government is there to protect you from terrorism, health -- just exactly this thick. this is the function of government and how government is screwing up. >> this may be donald trump's katrina. this is an event that could take down a president. the iran hostage crisis was carter's fall. >> the president is doing nothing but playing in his political sandbox while this virus continues to spread sil t silently across america.

>> same people lied to you for three years claiming the president colluded with russia to steal the 2016 election. the same people. we have the evidence. take a look. >> we're about to find out if the new president of country is going to do what russia wants when he's commander-in-chief of the u.s. military. >> he's afraid of the president of russia. >> why? >> i think one can speculate as to why. the russians may have something on him personally. >> we have to wait till the hammer and sickle is on the american flag? >> if it turns out that donald trump stole the election that he conspired with the russians to undermine or democracy. >> obsessed with how many fingers the hand of russia had in donald trump's world. >> donald trump is an agent or russia or a useful idiot. >> sean: joining us now, lara trump. good to see you. thanks for coming back. the exact same people exact thing. >> yeah. >> sean: and yet father-in-law,

nobody ever acted faster and he got crushed for the travel ban. >> the good news is, none of these people have any credibility left. what you just heard there, it's so obvious to the american people. they've been lying to you for years about everything to do with donald trump. the truth for anybody that has been paying any attention is that while the democrats were busy still trying to impeach donald trump, he took decisive action. he made sure that people were not coming into this country on flights from infected areas of china. he, of course, got called racist for that because that's the default for donald trump whenever these people don't know what to say about him because he's actually doing the job that the people elected him to do. look at other things. the president constantly gets hit by the left and by the mainstream media for having strong borders on our southern border, this is a perfect example of why you want strong borders. you have to know when you have a

pandemic situation going around the world that it's not going to come here to the united states. these people have no credibility. it's absolutely ridiculous. you heard none of them -- i heard you talk about this earlier. h1n1, took six months for the obama administration and 1,000 deaths before anything really happened in this country. yet it was crickets from the mainstream media. so obvious what is going on. donald trump and the administration have done an amazing job here. >> sean: fastest travel ban quarantine implemented in history. billions of dollars already done. billions now going to industries impacted record time. money for workers impacted. our scientists, we know coronavirus dangerous to one group of people. does this backfire again? >> oh, they look so stupid. when this is all over and the economy rebounds and everything is back to normal, these people have completely lost any support that they had out there. their ratings will go even lower

if that is possible, sean. too bad for them. >> sean: all right. it's about the truth. especially when it's our health. we have to give people the truth. >> that's right. >> sean: thank you. when we come back, new york has created a containment area in one part of the state because of the coronavirus and the outbreak. a full report. also, dr. anthony fauci is the adult in the room. well, we know everyone is worried. we'll ask him the things you need to know for your family to protect your family. the truth straight ahead. sure, principal is a financial company.

coronavirus task force. dr. anthony fauci. i have a lot of respect for you. you've been around many administrations and done a lot of work. i want to do a quick lightning round and expand out so people understand. the travel ban and the quarantine that the president did within three weeks, do you believe was the fastest ever, do you believe it likely prevented thousands of americans from contracting the virus and a smart thing to do? >> yeah, i think there's no question. yeah, there's no question that if we had not done that in a timely way, there would have been more cases from china. the outbreak here in the country, these cases originated from travel-related cases that came from china and the then we had the issue in washington state and what we're seeing now in other states. so coming from outside within was the thing that started it. doing that saved us a lot of concern and a lot of suffering,

i think. >> sean: that was fairly unprecedented. you've been around for a lot of these viruses an pandemics. you're a professional guy. but unprecedented. i've never seen anything like it, right? >> well, no, i have not. the reason is that there's a lot of skepticism about whether when you do a travel ban whether or not you're really going to interfere with any aspect of an outbreak. because you might delay it, but what will happen is that you'll wind up having a big outbreak anyway. that is true. when you have multiple different countries at the same time who have outbreaks and you can't exclude the entire world. the unique situation with china back in december, january, they were the sole source of that. to block them from coming in was the right move even though it was a controversial move.

it was the right move. >> sean: the president was called xenophobic. we're in a political season and everything is seen through that prim. so now the president and his economic team have put aside money for industries directly impacted an hourly workers directly impacted. no co-pays to get a test. that's fairly unprecedented, too. did the president do the right thing in a timely manner? >> the reason for that, it was an important decision. we discussed that about the kinds of things that would happen if you say the way to mitigate an outbreak is if a person is infected or exposed, they need to stay home. when they stay home for the incubation period, it's untenable for you.

so to make that it you give an even playing field for someone to give them the opportunity that if they want to abide by the recommendations that we make the public health recommendations, they have to have some sort of safety net. otherwise it wouldn't work. so the decision was made, we're going to give those people backup and that's what we did. >> sean: one more very important question. so is it -- so the average age mortality for corona is 80. so this virus is impacting people with compromised immune systems, underlying other medical conditions trump rally the most vulnerable. what about the other 99%? if people got the virus, worst case scenario, how dangerous is it to them maybe to the regular flu? >> okay. so that's a good question. 80% of the people that get infect leaders do well. they'll get sick, be uncomfortable, not going to feel well. but they're going to

spontaneously recover. 15% of them, according to the data from china, korea, that those are individuals that will get into trouble and the mortality in that group is very high. but sean, to make sure your viewers get an accurate idea about what goes on, you mentioned seasonal flu. the mortality for seasonal flu is 0.1. the mortality for this is 2, 2.5%. it's probably lower than that closer to 1. but even if it's 1, it's ten times more lethal than the seasonal flu. you have to make sure that people understand that. >> no, no. now, are we doing everything possible that you would do up to this point? >> you know, i believe so. when you have an outbreak, there's the fog of war associated with that. you're trying to do the right thing, trying to keep up with an evolving situation.

but i think in the context of what we're being challenged with, i think everybody is doing well. >> sean: all right. dr. fauci, you're a voice of reason. thank you for being with us. the architect, karl rove. can bernie come back? straight ahead. do you have concerns about mild memory loss related to aging? prevagen is the number one pharmacist-recommended memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. ♪ oh, oh, (announcer)®! ♪ once-weekly ozempic® is helping many people with type 2 diabetes like james lower their blood sugar. a majority of adults who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. here's your a1c. oh! my a1c is under 7!
