being spread by blood transfusions. if you are healthy enough to give blood, donating it will not make you significantly more vulnerable. please consider doing that. it could really help. that's it for us tonight. we are grateful you watched. be back tomorrow night. in the meantime, sean hannity. >> sean: great recommendation on donating blood. imagine, tucker carlson or sean hannity's blood, nobody will want it. in all seriousness. >> tucker: [laughs] >> sean: there are shortages. if people can help, i know they will. we are americans. welcome to "hannity." there has been way too much blame, way too much finger-pointing, way too much politicizing and fear and panic and hysteria on the coronavirus. a ton of fake news, misinformation going around once again. we on this program, we are going to be dedicated to bringing you facts without fear. we are americans. we start this program every night with the facts first without fear. we will call out those that are so corrupt that have nothing but
6:01 pm
a political agenda. that would include the media mob, many of them. we can sum it up at the very beginning of the virus, "new york times" headline "the trump virus." if you feel awful, you know who to blame. other multiple outlets calling it trump's katrina, chernobyl. we will analyze the destructive, irresponsible behavior of the mob and the democratic party but first we're going to start with the facts without fear. why? to help keep your family, our american family safe and healthy. i hope one day we get rid of cancer and heart disease. we lose tens of ten tens of thousands to people to flu every year. we want everyone healthy and sound. breaking news. i spent a considerable amount of time speaking with leaders all weekend and today from the president's task force, here is where we are. this very moment is a critical time for everybody in the country. my sources are very clear tonight. we are now entering what will be the crucial, defining 15-day
6:02 pm
period as it relates to this virus. we must slow the spread of coronavirus. if we all joined as americans, the virus doesn't discriminate against republican, democrat, liberal, conservative. if we can do this for 15 days, thousands of american lives will be saved. look at your screen. these are the recommendations from the tas task force and the administration from all americans. if you feel sick, stay at home. if you were kids feel sick, don't send them to school or day care. if someone in your household has tested positive for coronavirus, please self quarantine your entire household. keep them at home. if you are an older person or an individual with underlying medical conditions, a compromised immune system, maybe you are receiving chemotherapy, radiation, autoimmune issues, whatever the underlying diseases are, please stay away, almost quarantine yourself from other people. it's critically important we heed these guidelines especially in this 15-day period starting
6:03 pm
today. if everybody does their part in the next two weeks, we know for a fact lives will be saved. don't be afraid to be vigilant. if you need more information, there's the website. coronavirus.gov. we'll put it up later. as the president said earlier today, our gaming focus must be slowing the spread of this disease. for the 15-day period, the president is asking all americans, even those that well, don't like a single thing he's done, let's all join together in this effort. >> my administration is recommending that all americans, including the young and healthy, work to engage in schooling from home when possible, avoid gathering in groups of more than ten people, avoid discussion or travel, and avoid eating and drinking at bars, restaurants, and public food courts. if everyone makes this change where these critical changes and sacrifices now, we will rally together as one nation and we will defeat the virus.
6:04 pm
we are going to have a big celebration altogether. >> sean: the president's right. we are fighting an invisible enemy and now slowing the spread is crucial and key. luckily in this case some pretty basic steps by all of us together will go a very long way. for example many americans are now working remotely. thank god for technology. numerous schools, universities, they are utilizing online learning. another great progress. thousands of bars, restaurants across the country are now limiting service to takeout and delivery. i want these guys to keep staying in business, so i'm trying to patronize all the businesses i know. tonight especially local business. it's critically important that you practice great hygiene and what we call social distancing. according to the studies, this virus is three times more contagious than the flu. from the beginning, you remember our coverage, we were telling you we noticed that people with virtually no symptoms or none
6:05 pm
whatsoever, they were capable of unknowingly passing it on to others. while most young people, unlike each one and one, well, they don't experience, sometimes no symptoms are not severe symptoms, mild symptoms. they can spread this disease like wildfire. the overwhelming people that do contract the disease, again, no symptoms, mild symptoms or you will get the flu but fully recover. if they by the way around those with those underlying conditions, compromised immune systems, and they pass on this virus, we risk losing those lives. that's why this is important. as i've been saying, let's protect our grandmothers, our grandparents, older moms and dads. that's what this 15-day period is all about. we are the land of the free in the home of the brave. these are not just words in an anthem. that is who we are as a people. it's in our dna. i always say let not your hearts be troubled. we are going to get through this. during his first inaugural address he made a member of
6:06 pm
president roosevelt reassuring americans during a time of rate uncertainty, saying the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. fear is not helping here. those advancing political agendas, they are not helping either. 86 years later those words, they still ring true today i ended a few short decades, this country defeated let's see, nazism, fascism, communism, imperial japan, we made it through the great depression, the great recession, 9/11, the cold war, we are the american people. we face our problems head-on, rise to the occasion. overcome our challenges no matter what with the greatest last medical researchers, scientists, doctors and the entire world. the coronavirus is no different. so far there've been under 200,000 confirmed cases worldwide. 181,377. i have an updated number. more than 7,000 deaths.
6:07 pm
the goal is to save as many lives here in america and worldwide as possible. at home in america 3,800 americans of tested positive for the disease. facts without fear. less than 100 have died. those numbers will rise likely dramatically with more testing. the numbers that have contracted the disease. it's expected if everybody does their part it will level off. the sooner the better. for context, a lot of people don't seem to know this. this is why the fearmongering and the panic and the hype and hysteria is so unhelpful. last year over 35 million americans contracted the flu. over 490,000 americans hospitalized for the flu. 34,000 americans died of the flu. right here in the united states over the course of just one year. that's pretty typical. now thankfully the toll surrounding coronavirus is lower. however, facts without fear. if we take all the necessary precautions, the stats will level off and ultimately begin a
6:08 pm
decline and hopefully four to six weeks max and we can get back to life as normal. tonight we must do whatever is necessary to stop the spread of the disease. protect our older fellow americans, flatten that curve and more importantly save lives. we can say this tonight without a doubt. the presidents china and european travel ban i predict will go down as the single most consequential decision in history. that's not political. it brought us time. it bought hospital's time. to prepare for the worst-case scenario. it bought the federal government time to the source ventilators and other medical supplies. it bought doctors, scientists, researchers time to develop either treatments and eventually hopefully a vaccine. it bought the pharmaceutical industry time so they can do what they do best. in fact, the very first experiment of vaccine in the u.s. was tested today. earlier today. let's not forget it also bought enough time for an unprecedented
6:09 pm
public-private partnership to form as the president announced friday. i would say between, within three weeks of us identifying the virus, then the travel ban quarantine, this unprecedented public-private partnership where were go to parking lots of walmart, walgreens, cvs, i don't want to forget the great companies helping and we are going to be able to do something we've never been able to do before in record speed. a groundbreaking new system, new paradigm drive through testing sites. it in the works. all across the country with many locations already open in record time. today even the media mob, they showed, maybe they were sick today. slight signs of moderate restraint. it wasn't all gotcha questions and personal attacks. however sadly, there are those who will always be more interested in bludgeoning the president politically than actually solving a problem. in this case, a pandemic. sadly pandemic happened. i wish they never happen. it brings us to the politics of
6:10 pm
this virus. context is important in life. take a look at this time line. this is different. put together by joel pollock. look at this. january 21st, the very first person with coronavirus arrived in the u.s. from china. that's not long ago. the same time, democrats, what were they doing? they were in the throes of an all-consuming, what has been the culmination of a three year quest to impeach and throw donald trump out of office, undo an election. they never accepted the results of in the beginning. january 23rd, house impeachment managers, what were they doing? oh, they were doing their opening arguments and impeachment. same day, china completely sealed off the entire province of wuhan. then on january 31st, look at this. the president then declared that national health emergency, ordered mandatory two week quarantines. he issued the travel ban on all travel to and from china. on that same day, what were the democrats doing?
6:11 pm
they were busy with impeaching the president. they weren't caring. january 31, senate democrats desperately pushing for more impeachment witnesses, the day donald trump with the travel ban quarantine in effect. wow. it wasn't until february 5 that the impeachment charade was officially over and even then, many were plotting future impeachment investigations. the next one. meanwhile other top democrats were calling the president's travel ban racist. january 31, the day of the travel ban, what did quid pro quo joe say about the president's actions? he said they were xenophobic, they were hysterical in the president was fearmongering. no, joe. you're wrong. democrat house members, they were worried that the ban would stoke racial determination. no president has done more or acted quicker to stop the spread of a pandemic or disease and yet, the president has been trashed every step of the way by democrats and of course their state run tv in the media mob.
6:12 pm
take a look. >> we are working very strongly with china on the coronavirus. >> this is no time for donald trump's record of hysteria, xenophobia. >> i have today declared that they coronavirus presents a public health emergency in the united states. >> we have a crisis of coronavirus and president trump has no plan. >> we have stopped non-u.s. citizens from coming in to america from china. that was done very early on. we are screening people and we have been at a very high level. we are working very hard to expedite the longer process of developing a vaccine. >> we have to just stipulate to fact. we have to dispel some of the misinformation. >> to unleash the full power of the federal government in this effort today, i am officially declaring a national emergency.
6:13 pm
>> shot this president up right now because he is undermining the doctors and scientists >> sean: last night you had doctors be 27 joe and dr. bolshevik bernie sanders making it clear they would never have enacted the travel ban to stop the spread of coronavirus. that would've been the single biggest mistake that would've resulted in thousands of americans contracting the disease and untold numbers dying. they want completely open borders, even still. unchecked immigration. they both walked government run free health care for all, including illegal immigrants. yeah, this is going to be very expensive at the end of the day. those two bozos, they didn't quite get it and it's likely thousands of americans would have contracted the virus and many other americans died from it. america's borders as we've been saying, have got to be safe. testing, screening those who have come into our country, that's one aspect of it. also we don't want people with radical agendas. we want people able to take care
6:14 pm
of themselves if we do invite them into our country. we don't care where you come from. let us vent you. our health care system while not perfect produces the best doctors, medicine, research anywhere in the world but dr. quid pro quo joe is telling voters he would've done a better job as president that his socialist ideas of all, he wants to expand obamacare. millions lost their doctors. millions lost their plans. on average paying 200% more. 37% of americans have one obama-biden care exchange option. this is the same guy who can't get through a digital town hall saturday without turning it into a complete and total disaster. take a look. >> the whole point is we can do a lot to deal with it. we have to deal with this national basis. right now for example, we have a
6:15 pm
thing, brazil, the amazon is burning. i'm sorry this has been such a disjointed effort here because of the connections. there's a lot more to say. i've already probably said too much to you. >> sean: in 232 days, you the american people -- oh, i'm sorry for the cameras over here. it doesn't say hannity for president or anything. start into a half hours late. 232 days, you will decide whether that man holds the keys to the most powerful job in the world. a critical decision. we are witnessing the president's actions can have major and massive ramifications. this new paradigm, let's see, oh, public-private partnership, travel ban, quarantines, acting in unprecedented -- with unprecedented quickness. this will change how we deal with future pandemics and save lives. the regulation cutting is helping speed the development of a vaccine. the emergency declaration enabled an unprecedented
6:16 pm
public-private partnership with all the money that will be needed to fund it. going forward, the president's commitment to helping american businesses will have, well, lasting effects. got to help our fellow businesses in trouble. airline industry, cruise industry, those workers. hourly workers who fear taking a day or a couple days off because they are not feeling well. they are all handled under the president's plan already. joe, i have a plan. the president did all the things you are talking about and then some. now is not the time for washington to to play games. all hands on deck. governments must work together and get hospitals what they need, equipment that might be needed, the supplies they may need in the future. newt gingrich had a great idea. use the floating naval vessels that we already have. we already have floating hospitals. we can use those. maybe we can even commandeer or rent or buy temporarily maybe these cruise ships. rather than just a bailout. we can house people that need help. of course, we are not at that
Check
6:17 pm
point. we don't want to get to that point. we need to prepare for the worse case scenario. the president has task force confirmed they are. as it stands, our health care system has adequate ventilators, icu beds, medical professionals and ultimately like i said we must prepare for the worst, pray for the best. in the meantime, wash your hands and stay at home. here now with a full report, trace gallagher. >> let's begin with the latest numbers from the johns hopkins covid-19 global map. case numbers and death toll continuing to rise. there are more than 181,000 cases worldwide with more than 7100 deaths. it's also notable that more than 78,000 people have fully recovered from the virus. here in the u.s., there are now more than 4600 cases and 81 deaths. experts say because testing is increasing they fully expect the number of cases will also increase. meantime in san francisco, there's a massive shelter in place mandate that affects some 7 million people. residents being told to stay
6:18 pm
home and only go outside to get food, medicine, and absolute essentials. france and canada, also essentially on lock down with the french president ordering people to stay home for 15 days. the canadian p.m. closing his country's borders to foreigners except u.s. citizens. meantime 47-year-old actor idris elba has tested positive. today he said he has no symptoms but is keeping himself in isolation. he says he got tested because he was exposed to somebody who had the disease. it appears tom hanks and rita wilson are on the mend five days after announcing they had coronavirus. the couple left a hospital in australia and are now continuing their quarantine at a house they rented. after self quarantining for several days, south carolina g.o.p. senator lindsey graham has now tested negative for coronavirus. graham put himself in quarantine after visiting mar-a-lago and coming in contact with a member
6:19 pm
of the brazilian government to tested positive. >> sean: i can confirm i sent lindsey graham stake so he could eat well while he was waiting in his self imposed quarantine. thank you, trace gallagher. we begin with much more starting tonight all bars, restaurants in new york city, new jersey and connecticut are only available for takeout service is the state's work to limit the number of coronavirus'. for me personally i know a lot of people that run small businesses. the fact that they have offered takeout, i am in. you know what, i want to make sure that they are up and running and don't take that big a financial hit and are able to keep many of the workers working during this time. joining us now live from new york city, rick leventhal. rick. >> we are definitely seen the impact of the shutdown. far less traffic on the streets of manhattan and far less people on the sidewalks of manhattan. in large part because there's not a whole lot to do out here now. it's very cold out but it's also
6:20 pm
now the rule here on the streets in the cd that you cannot get a drink or eat food inside any one of the 21,000 bars and restaurants here in manhattan and the five boroughs. you cannot eat or drink inside the establishments. you can order takeout. you can have deliveries here to your home but these restaurants will no longer served to the public until further notice and that's true in at least 19 other states across the country. and puerto rico as well. others being added to the list including colorado, rhode island, and oregon. joining connecticut and new jersey and ohio, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania and many, many more. all the states now send you an order takeout. you can get deliveries from restaurants but you cannot eat in those restaurants and a major effort to try to cut down on the person-to-person spread of coronavirus. sean, i can tell you close to 150,000 people work in or depend on the business from bars and
6:21 pm
restaurants. we don't know yet what kind of impact it will have but it will have a major impact. >> sean: i hope people will patronize those businesses. we know government help and monies have been allocated and that will be forthcoming hopefully sooner than later. rick leventhal, thank you. stocks, another grisly day on wall street. the impact, it still anyone's guess what's going to happen in the short term. the fundamentals are strong in the trump administration is moving forward on more bold action to provide relief to those most affected by the massive destruction of daily business and mitigate some of the, well, longer and larger term risks. now more than ever it's time for calm, bold, decisive action. facts without fear. sound policy, preparation. not the politics of hysteria and panic. here with more the reaction in the business community, the cohost of outnumbered, melissa francis.
6:22 pm
i have watched the rate cut. i'm not a big stock market guide. i never use that is my biggest barometer. watching it fall. when we get through this which we will, i expect the market will rise. it's interesting because i talked my friends. they love this. they are into this. i'm not. they're like oh, no. this is some of the best deals you're ever going to get. buy now. what did warren buffett one say? when everyone's afraid, buy. i'm not offering that is advice, by the way. >> you saw what happened, the federal reserve lowered the rates to almost zero but as you noticed, the market taint again today. we sought closed down almost 3,000 points. it was a massive move and it was because of the scene that you just saw with rick leventhal. when we go inside and harboring eight, we come out when when it's over, we want the bars and restaurants to be there.
6:23 pm
the restaurants shuttered they can do delivery and take up with the folks inside, the waiters and waitresses are not working. they are not getting wages or tips. that business has to be able to make payroll. that's what everyone's worried about now. moves that the fed makes isn't going to get to the restaurant and bar owners and small business owners for a long time. anything they're doing in washington, if you put congress in the middle of it is going to take forever and that's why some people are arguing the federal reserve needs to set up a line of credit right away to these very businesses that you're looking out on camera. if you can't make payroll this week, if you're not going to be able to pay her rent, whatever it is, so you can go and not get a bailout. get a line of credit, get a loan at a very low interest rate so that you can pay your people and not go out of business in the meantime. that's the biggest concern, one of the things that's really scaring the markets. the government has to get on top of that. i'm going to give you one thing to be optimistic about, sean.
6:24 pm
larry kudlow, i sat next to him until anchored with him to the last financial crisis, he was always frustrated that there weren't enough creative pro-growth programs in place so that when you see this big move down in economics, they call it a v shaped recovery. you pop up. you can explode and grow on the other side. you have to have the right people in place making the right decisions. this administration, this president is surrounded by those people. if they are let loose to do the kind of creative things we need. they need to think outside the box and do more than what's going on right now. i tell you all those empty places, how are they going to make payroll? how are they going to pay their people? how are they going to pay their rent, how are they going to stay in business to be on the other side? the ramifications of that are huge for this economy. they need to get on that right now. you know who to call. call them. get them in line. tell them what to do. what dwhat do you think? >> sean: i love all that and i'm a believer in larry kudlow.
6:25 pm
i've always been a fan of his and he's understood reaganomics, in the short term i like the idea. i have four restaurants. i am a loser. i only go to four places. chris and tony's, rothman's. they are all delivering. i tweeted out, so happy. at least the small business owners. if everybody goes a little above and beyond, patronize your favorite restaurants and they deliver, all the better. >> what about the tips for the guys inside? that's one of the problems for the waiters and waitresses. >> sean: i tip them the same anyway. >> there you go. >> sean: even if it's just your local pizza place. whatever. he doesn't have to be expensive. even mcdonald's delivers. you can have uber eats or somebody delivery.
6:26 pm
joining us now, member of the white house tour de force task force and happens to be a really good doctor, amazing brain surgeon and close friend, dr. ben carson. dr. carson, good to see you. i see three very historic, groundbreaking paradigm shifting moves that the president has made. first one, how the president had the insight to put that travel ban in effect in three weeks, amazing. took a lot of heat. hysteria, xenophobic, stigmatizing, racist, all those names called. we saw these business leaders come in and out of the white house, the public-private partnerships. testing in the parking lot of walmart and target and cvs and walgreens and i wish i could mention them all. and the third thing is this 15 day-period that the president laid out today and these are the things that the american people understand we are going to save, we are really looking to save
6:27 pm
the lives of grandma's and grandpa's and those with autoimmune diseases and immune deficiency and moms and dads that are older. they are the most at risk of dying from this. not young people. >> the president has excellent perspective. early on when a lot of people were saying no, you can't impose a travel ban, she stood largely alone courageously -- he stood largely alone. realizing if we had all these vectors of disease. the same argument came when it came to europe. he's willing to make those decisions and it makes a huge difference. as far as bring the business community and, understanding that the real power in this country lies with their people. we have innovative people, entrepreneurial people. we also have people who care. if you go back to the early days
6:28 pm
of our country when we were getting criticized by a lot of people in europe because we had rich people and we have poor people, they didn't realize that our rich people were a little bit different than the ones in other countries that just hoarded money and passed it down from generation to generation. our rich people built the transcontinental railroad and the seaports in the textile mills in the factories which allowed us to produce the most dynamic middle-class the world has ever known. they went further than that. they built schools in museums and universities and all the things that help to create the american dream. and the president recognizes that bringing these people in and they are volunteering to help, we are getting calls all the time from companies, what can i do to help? we need to understand this is not a time for class warfare. it's time for us to work together. the american people are amazing when they are willing to work together. >> sean: do you agree,
6:29 pm
newt gingrich was on my radio show and he said if not for the president's travel ban, quarantining thousands of americans would probably be dying as a result. newt gingrich saying that i made italy and the amid the coronavirus there which has been very extreme. good luck with national health care and single-payer. but america must act now, must act big. explain to this audience if you can why is it with this virus, my understanding is we have pandemics. we've had a lot, each one and one. we had 16 million americans impacted by this. up to 575,000 dead worldwide. in the year we lost 12,469 americans. obama didn't have a travel ban and biden didn't have one. they didn't have a quarantine. they themselves, their hhs secretary said it was an emergency early like 11 days and that they didn't declare an emergency until six months
6:30 pm
later, 1,000 americans dead. tens of thousands contracting that virus. >> yes. this particular virus is extraordinarily contagious. it's probably two or three times more contagious than the average flu virus that we encounter. that's why we have to be very aggressive toward it. the task force looked every day of the data that comes from all the other countries and analyzes this and then uses that information to make recommendations. to the president and the vice president. and to all the various agencies around the country. that's one of the reasons that -- every death is horrible but it's much smaller than it could have been. we can't relax and we can't rest on our laurels. we have to continue to use scientific evidence to make the recommendations. this means that all the people have to be involved. they have to understand even if
6:31 pm
you are feeling great, you still need to follow the recommendations about keeping your hands clean, watching about your clothing, particularly if you are mingling with the people who fit into the high risk categories. if you don't learn those things and do those things, then you are creating part of the problem. the good thing is i think next year that the death rate from influence and will probably be a lot smaller because a lot more people now understand what happens when you don't take the appropriate precautions. >> sean: i am all for the elbows. i'm all for elbows. we've known this forever. but i do agree with you. dr. carson, thank you. we appreciate it. the national institutes of health today announcing groundbreaking news, coronavirus vaccine trails beginning in seattle. here to give us, well, much-needed facts about the pandemic, former white house physician ronny jackson and infectious disease specialist
6:32 pm
dr. mark mulligan. dr. jackson, the ban, the public-private partnership and then this crucial 15 days. give us what your perspective is in terms of italy and iran then what we've seen in china and south korea. >> the president has done everything he needed to do. he's acted quickly and decisively. he did what he always has done. he put together a top-notch team and he was criticized and ridiculed as he usually is and tried to be torn down by the far left in the liberal press. despite that he carried on a did what he needed to do for our country. he put the travel ban in place. what's going on in italy and iran is not going to happen here i think because of the presidents quick and decisive actions. i think we are going to be more in line with what's going on in south korea. we are going to see that we got on it early in the president
6:33 pm
stopped it quickly and it's going to save countless american lives. i am proud that he's acted so quickly and decisively. >> sean: dr. mulligan, this is what you do. you are an infectious disease specialist. i know more about pandemics, viruses than i ever wanted to know or care to know. it's fascinating. apparently they were able to break down the sequence of this virus faster than any other one in history and why is that important and how do you see the overall picture? >> it's been amazing the speed at which science has jumped on this virus which first appeared in december and by early january, the virus was identified. on january 10 this sequence was made available by the chinese and that was a wonderful thing. the nih took that virus sequence and created a vaccine candidate
6:34 pm
which you have seen, doing the first human clinical trial today. three months roughly. >> sean: that is record-breaking. >> absolutely. that is the quickest it's ever been done. we are in a real challenge and we would like it to be even faster but that is amazing. >> sean: what impact is this public-private partnership going to have? i would argue, i don't like to go to hospitals even to visit. but i do what i have sick friends unfortunately. but i go there. it's like they are petri dishes. right? if you could drive up and contested it's much safer. my thought. >> that's right. i agree completely. hospital is a good place to be if you're sick, really sick. if you are mildly ill, we don't want people going there right now. so having these public-private partnerships is huge, particularly the number of tests will go way up with industry
6:35 pm
involved in providing test kits. it's very important. >> sean: dr. ronny jackson, last word. >> yes, sean, i think we just have to follow the presidents lead on this. he has the team in place to lead us out of it successfully. i think we just follow his instructions. we are going to be okay. >> sean: is there anything else quickly both of you that the president could have done sooner? dr. jackson first. >> no, i don't think so. i think he did everything he needed to do as quickly as possible. i think we are seeing evidence of that now. i know that we have 70 deaths right now. >> sean: we expect it's going to increase -- dr. mulligan, anything the president should have done earlier or should be doing now that he sees not doing? >> the one thing that's not gone as well as we would like would be the rollout of a test widely.
6:36 pm
retrospect is 100%. if we could have maybe involved industry even earlier to start rolling out large numbers of tests, that would've been helpful. we are really still -- >> sean: that's the thing, it's a new paradigm. i've got to roll. real quick. >> i was going to say this is just an example of some of the regulations and government that the president has been getting rid of. its impact today. >> sean: look at how quick they partnered with these companies, amazing. why do some people demonized walmart and big pharmaceutical? they save our lives. when we come back, saying disinformation campaign trying to spread fear in this country about coronavirus. we will expand why china looks like they are to blame. they did not serve the world community well. we don't need lectures from
6:37 pm
china or dr. bolshevik bernie sanders or dr. quid pro quo either. they wouldn't have had a travel ban. straight ahead. near 50-year lows.

woi felt completely helpless.hed online.
6:41 pm
vo: visit reputationdefender.com or call 1-877-866-8555. >> sean: the virus outbreak is shining a bright light on a massive disinformation campaign coming from of all places china, you know where this all originated. a chinese diplomat summoned by the u.s. state department for spreading a bogus conspiracy theory about the virus coming from the u.s. army. yeah, that's a lie. the trump administration sounding the alarm, warning of more foreign interference campaigns and pushing back against the false report about a mandatory national quarantine. the department of health and human services was a vertically hit with a cyber attack on

saturday. coppersmith devin nunes and fox news contributor jason chaffetz. let me start with you, congressman nunes. i know you got hammered because you said you wanted to support a local restaurant. the good news is i can tell you these restaurants are delivering, taking care of their customers in other ways. i spoke to you earlier. you support the president's decision. >> these media freaks don't have a clue what's going on out in the real world. we have a problem out here because we have people standing in line for 45 minutes at costco. what i was saying is you have empty restaurants. you can go through the drive-thru or do take-out. it's a great place to go. the media freaks can do it they want. they are endangering lives here by continuing this panic when we have no food shortage in this country. the farmers of america produce an abundant food supply.
6:43 pm
we have more food than we can eat in this country. we have to stop panicking and ensure that people know they don't have to wait in a line at costco for 30, 45 minutes. they need to stay calm. >> sean: jason. congressman. i don't know what to call you. jason. you are a colleague. no longer insulted by the name congressman. the president got on the phone with the heads of these food chains. they are killing it to restock the aisles. i went shopping twice this weekend. the only thing i couldn't get was toilet paper and paper towels or purell. everything else was there. i was at the grocery store and in looking at everybody and they are putting in extra stuff. i talked to the guys who stock the shelves, they say no, we put it back in. they have expedited, putting stuff in. why does everyone want toilet paper and paper towels? i don't get it. >> hats off to the blue-collar people who get it done in this
6:44 pm
country. think of the truckers working overtime. people up early at 4:00 in the morning, 3:00 in the morning restocking the shelves, making sure we have everything that we have. the people to grow the food impact the material and the people that put it on the trucks and the people the deliberate and the people at the register to check you out. all of that is happening. this massive surge. there's no place like america, sean. we are resilient. will answer this call and the men and women that get that done, even in the face of a pandemic and people, their kids at home, they still get it done. that's why you've got to love this country. >> sean: i went to restaurants all weekend, picked up food, said hello to my friends that run these businesses. just telling them that i am offering their support. we appreciate it. what about, you are a cyber security analyst, morgan wright. what about these attacks? china propaganda, misinformation. devin nunes, the guy on the screen to your right, that guy warned about russian election
6:45 pm
interference in 2014. biden-obama did nothing about it. the only person that was really involved in that ended up being hillary clinton with her dirty russian dossier. we know these hits happen all the time. my social media has been compromised numerous times. multiple attempts to hack into my website daily, like 1500 a day at least. this does not surprise me. can we stop it? that is the question. >> stopping it, that's a good question. can we stop it? noble we can get to a point where they pay a price if they want to run these maligned influence operations, if they want to compromise our network and steal our intellectual property. china is the biggest thief of intellectual property. the u.s. trade representative, they are responsible for the loss of over $5 million a year in intellectual property. nothing's going to stop china except sanctions are hitting back hard. the president has said let's take the gloves off and start hitting back. i don't know that you will see it around this because there's
6:46 pm
so much to work with. when you have an incident like a virus, pandemic, natural disaster, scammers and criminals and thieves and nation-state actors use this as a way to spread fear and uncertainty and doubt. phishing emails. it'll go away like the virus but it's going to take time. >> sean: this extradition going on with julian assange in great britain. i am like, at some point after decades and this has gone on forever, if you don't put in the proper defense to prevent hackers, at some point you ought to look at yourself. blame yourself. if are going to extradite anybody from great britain, i want christopher steele. >> i knew you were going to say that about christopher steele. one of the things that i will remind people, while the media freaks and mob were chasing around the russia hoaxes and the impeachment hopes, house republicans have actually been on the intelligence committee been looking into china, investigating china. we have come up with two important solutions.
6:47 pm
one, we need to stop letting people come in here and steal her secrets and to come if you're a chinese company and americans are investing, you need to use the same accounting rules that we use here in the united states. we have identify this and working on it. >> sean: thank you all for being with us. coming up, voters in several states slated to head to the full tomorrow, some primaries are being delayed. we will explain. later, huge news about michael flynn. a great injustice and we have the evidence straight ahead.

still remembered the coronavirus pandemic, the primary elections are in upheaval. they are moving primaries, breaking tonight, a judge
6:52 pm
rejected the request for ohio to delete its primary. here with reaction, reince priebus, fox news contributor, tammy bruce. the thing that stands out more than anything else, i saw this debate last night. dr. quid pro quo joe and dr. bolshevik bernie. neither would institute a travel ban. neither would have quarantines. they both want open borders. they both want us to pay for everybody's health care, even those who don't respect our laws, sovereignty and borders. i'm like yeah, that's not going to work. maybe americans are waking up to the fact we've got to control our borders for a lot of reaso reasons. >> well, you're 100% right, sean. the contest couldn't be more stark. it's this ridiculous decision-making on display while canada is shutting down its border, you have joe and bernie debating about open borders. it's like, you know, the trojans
6:53 pm
accepting the gift of odysseus and the trojan horse. it couldn't be more ridiculous. the president has an incredible responsibility right now. hundreds, perhaps god forbid thousands of people. their lives on the line, depending on the decisions that local government authorities are making. the decisions they are making in the american people are making, the decision to trump administration is making. all of this is going to be judged by the american people. the president knows it. this is really no time for punditry and all the things out there, these crazy editorials and comment made by people like jennifer rubin talking about more republicans dying. it's crazy. >> sean: let me go to tammy. they wouldn't have support of the travel ban. how many thousands likely would've contracted this disease and died? had they not done that. they still stand by that stupidity. >> it's remarkable, even saying
6:54 pm
what happened here. i think god everyday president trump is the president. part of what he was elected was because americans were worried and wondering, what kind of person do we need at the home is something very wrong happens. some kind of unexpected dynamic where you have someone who was a leader who also understands that this bureaucratic establishment is killing us and we will not be able to respond in time with something serious. that trump's valuate, the understanding of the importance of public-private partnership and the problem with big government was he is trying to reverse. when it comes to what bernie sanders wants, you're looking at italy. when it comes universal health health care and soul so-called free education. >> sean: thank you. when we come back i'm a news. michael flynn how they this 33 year vet.

>> sean: the president this weekend announced on twitter he strongly considering a full pardon for michael flynn. flynn's attorney telling sara carter that he would wear this pardon is a badge of honor. john solomon reporting late tonight that obama doj officials privately told mueller they were alarmed by the horrible fbi treatment of flynn. sara carter. >> yes, this is very significant. particular with john solomon's report. there was a memo disclosing that senior-level officials from the obama administration basically had concerns about how the fbi handled michael flynn, how they handled his interview, what they were attempting to charge him with. according to the memo, although senior officials including sally yates who was the acting at that time attorney general of the united states all believed michael flynn was actually telling the truth. remember this is something that sidney powell has argued intensively. there's also evidence and i did
7:00 pm
speak with sidney powell today, that there is documentation that they actually have not received yet from the doj. we are going to have to wait and see on general flynn. >> sean: thank you, will always be fair and balanced. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham. how is your ski vacation? i don't see a boot. >> that was about 36 hours. it was interesting. >> sean: laura came back. she had a daughter-mommy ski vacation. and i thought ingraham is not coming back alive. she's going to be in a hospital. broken leg. 15 days, the american people stick together. we can go a long way to saving a lot of lives. >> laura: yeah, i think so. tonight i'm going to talk about how we can avoid this type of massive disruption of our economy and their health care system and the safety and security of the american
