salem. february 13th, he developed very strong feelings about the future of american equity markets. that day, he dumped up to $1.7 million in stock, 33 separate transition transaction. he bought nothing that day with the flurry of selling, sell, sell, a cash out. in fact it was, roll call two years ago and burr has a total network of $1.7 million. that day in february, he suddenly decided to sell virtually everything he owned. many people on wall street and become now, ready savvy move. so what did richard burr, or my lawn mower, know what the financial experts did not know. it turns out that he's the chairman of the intelligence committee, during 24th close door briefing on the chinese coronavirus. delivered by dr. faucher and heads of the cdc. apparently what burr heard there spooked him. a short time, he acted decisively to save his family from financial harm.

if a fortune like, he didn't tell the rest of us about it ane opposite. when he knew about the coronavirus and then lied about it at length to the nation. fairbury seventh op-ed published on the website, he wrote this burr "united states is better prepared than ever before to face emerging public health events like coronavirus." better prepared than ever? he knew it was a lie and do 16 days later he dumped his entire portfolio. richard burr was falsely insinuating that everything was fine. he issued a statement entering america that we have a framework in place that is put us in a better's position that any of their country to respond to public health threat like the coronavirus. but burr's line in public, and private, he was panicked. if every 27th before the audience in a closed speech in washington, burr compared the coronavirus to the spanish flu t 100 million people.

>> it's more than anything we've ever seen in recent history. it is probably more akin to the 1918 pandemic. >> tucker: for a public servant, it's pretty hard to imagine many things more immoral than doing this. it richard burr had critical information that might have helped the people that he has sworn to protect but he held the information and helped only himself. instead of sounding the alarm, alerting the country, goading the country into action, he told easy lines that may have killed people. he wasn't alone in doing that. a democrat from california, she also sits on the senate intelligence committee. in late january and early february of this year, she dumped up to $6 million worth of stock and when confronted with the fact today, she dodged and took the strikingly on feminist position that selling the stock was her husband's decision and she was not allowed to ask about

it. all the confusing numbers, it's too much for a girl. please. to her credit, she issued a press release is calling attention to the seriousness of the coronavirus and again, good for her. but all the major public statement's were political. february 4th when every person the u.s. government understood that it was a various threat to the world feinstein spent her time giving a long speech on the senate floor calling for donald trump's conviction in the impeachment trial. there's kelly, a new republican senator from georgia, financial disclosure form show that she sold up to $1.3 million in three weeks after being privately briefed in the senate on the coronavirus. the closure shows a total of 29 equity transactions, 27 of them were sales. some of the holding she said where energy, unlimited, retail, airline. her purchases was a country makes teleworking software.

all the stories broke, and they responded very aggressively and quickly and in some detail. she said her holdings are managed by outside advisors and nothing directly to do with it and points to a financial disclosure that she said she received a days after the transactions were made showing they went through. got thi to her under ninth grade welcome, senators before you've been very clear and unlike senator buried as you said, if that's plain how this happens and it's pretty evident, you said right away, i didn't kw this happens, i learned of every 16th, and can you tell us tonight who specifically made the decision to sell the equities and what you think they made the decision? >> well, tucker, let me start at the beginning, when i was appointed to the senate i spent time with lawyers making sure i understood not only fec requirements around being in the senate because i come from the

private sector, but i also spent time making sure i understood the stock and the rules under the senate ethics committee for how we perform our financial transactions. i decided i was going to maintain the same posture that i had with the financial services industry which was to have the third-party person and a set of advisors that were fully charged and able to make the transactions on my own that i did not have to be involved in any of the decision-making around these financial transactions. that worked very well in the private sector, it kept us from having to have concerns around insider trading. if that's what i maintained in the senate and that's allowed me to be able to work hard for the american people and focus on the things that i came here to washington to do. >> tucker: okay, i understand that, but lets us back up and say that in the senate transactions that have been coming up there's 29 and 27 of them as we noted and it's a

pretty strong market at the ti time. doing what you did, and stocks that were shared, some of them, not all, it's a mixed bag and some of them were stocks like a hammer to. i'm wondering, not accusing you of anything, but wondering again who made specifically made the decision for you. >> that would be the financial advisor that are charged with cg trades in the portfolio which we don't have to say of water. most important thing is, i'm informed only after the trades are made and i have nothing in terms of assay and what buys and sells are executed and what the timing is. i'm only advised almost concurrent with the public reporting that we do here. >> tucker: okay, that makes it so that that she received notice of this and you got the list of the stocks sold and purchased. not that long after that, and

wow, they're a lot of equities here. i want to put on our screen for the viewers, the video you released after you learn this. here it is. >> the good news is, the consumer a strong, economy and strong, jobs are growing, our president has done a fantastic job making sure that we are in the best position to manage through the situation. >> tucker: so i wonder, you said you looked at this and they are dumping retail for example, and people weren't doing that. some are, most weren't, and then you issued a video saying that the economy totally is fine. retrospect, you should have hinted it was maybe not find despite your before leo. right? >> well, the situation dramatically changed on the space of three months and none of us could have predicted where we're going to be today and that's why it's important that i'm not involved in the stock transactions, i don't want to have to explain my actions three

months ago and i don't need to take. >> tucker: no, no, that hold on, with respect, this is not three months ago it was a month ago and every 16th, fairbury 17th, and did the trip any bells for you? you can read a balance sheet if you think it pretends to something ominous for the economy did the thought crossed her mind? >> if this is the kind of normal course for managing portfolios and some months you have buys ad sells and some once you have buys and sells and i trust them professionals that manage the portfolio i don't get involved and i don't have a safe i don't want to have a safe and i want to focus on my work. >> tucker: i get it, i get it, and again i'm not accusing you of insider training and it sounds like you did integrated i'm just wondering about the broader question that the economy is fine and the coronavirus of course given your position you know it's not true.

>> that's not true, tucker, we just had unemployment reports that were strong and in fact, january unemployment 80,000 additional workers were added to the payroll once february was reported. we had created 600,000 jobs, very strong numbers. heading into march, nowhere in the new where we'd stand on march 20th we are where we are today and we need to focus on the american people. people are hurting, wondering about their jobs, what's happening to their family and 30 million kids are out of school. if 5-7000000 waitresses, line chefs out of work >> tucker: i'm very aware. absolutely, we do shows on it every night and share your concern 100%. so your colleague, richard burke, do you think he should be indicted for what he apparently did? it be illegal to use information he obtained in the senate to profits and he clearly did that and should he be indicted? >> look, tucker, i've been in the senate 11 weeks and i spent a lot of time in advance getting

my own situation site before i came to the senate. if i did not advise my colleagues and how they manage the financial situation and i don't know what his situation and can't speak for him and i won't speak for him. i think he's been very forthcoming in terms of saying that he's willing to step in front of the senate ethics can and i applaud that. >> tucker: i'm not asking for a financial advice obviously or to telling what he should do next, i'm wondering what you think should happen next. given what we know, he is conceited that he made the trades himself at exactly the same time he was assuring the public that everything was fine. he lied. and you believed before the senate ethics committee, i've been watching him my whole life, not sure what that is. i know that's nothing happens there. do you think that's an adequate response? >> look, tucker, i don't know what senator burr knows or no, i can protect what his state of mind will be in front of the

senate ethics committee and when he made decisions about the trades and what information he had. i know that many of our briefings were instantly out on twitter and us as i walked out of the meeting, they weren't classified, they were closed, but as soon as i got out the information is already on twitter in the public domain. >> tucker: right, but again, don't speak for richard burr but i want to make clear for my audience and ask you too, but he wrote an op-ed on m our website. and then he gives this speech comparing coronavirus to the spanish flu epidemic of 1918 that killed up to 100 million people it so you have to think there's a massive disconnect when he sang to the public and when he privately believes. it is that a problem if there's leaders on all sides and i would say the same by the way if feinstein who behaved as gracefully as well. do you think it's a problem? >> it comes down to the timeline, it's a fast-moving

situation and ethically have to laid and say what can we know and when and what can you say and one and none of us believe today what we believe on february 1st. february 1st, we were locked into impeachment, we were heading into the state of the union, we are having the crisis and so many thing in washington and nothing was logged on other than president trump had rightly said that we need to close off e order and there is 27 deaths in the wuhan province. >> tucker: amen, i'm glad that he did that, and i had a long conversation with the government officials very well informed february 3rd, and he said to me, millions of people like that... ultimately could die from this and we spoke and reported and scary as, no one's paying attention. it was out there and i guess it

doesn't help anybody to point fingers retroactively but you want to think that your leaders are putting your interests before theirs. i wonder if that's always happening. speak out well come up with president trump helm, and our leaders are, you can see dr. fa, the health care leaders the economic leaders, and senator burr has stepped forward and said he'd be willing to step into the senate ethics process and just all we can do is go from there. we went right, okay. one last question, have you heard today -- editorial comment and i can't control myself, but hard to believe that richard burr and i agree with him on most political issues and i don't have a political bias they are at all but you think you can keep the senate seat after this? what message is that sending to the country? >> look, tucker, i'm a political outsider trying to solve the coronavirus, i can't predict where political outcomes may evolve to.

i'm just telling you right now,, and focused on working for the state of georgia, for the american people and making sure that we solve the coronavirus and letting this play out in the proper venue. >> tucker: okay, appreciated and they really do want government to be solved and focused on solving this and i appreciate the speed at senator, the giverjoining us. peter schweizer has spent many years and more copperheads of job that anybody has done in washington, and authors of profiles and corruption and he joins us tonight. so, peter, just want to be clear i don't have a long-standing vendetta against senator burr, a republican, and i vot agree with them on most things nothing personnel. it seems like flat out corruption and immoral to me in my misreading this?

>> no, no question in my mind, this is a slam-dunk case of insider trading. give richard burr where the vice chairman or the vice president of a large corporation and he had a meeting where he heard sales of the project were going through the floor and he sold at least have of his entire network in stock right after that briefing, would be a slam-dunk case of insider trading and the suggestion that this is going to go to the senate ethics committee, tucker, debbie like you and i getting into trouble and sing were going to let her family look into this. nothing's going to come clear from the senate ethics committee and has to be looked by the department of justice and frankly, he needs to resigned and be prosecuted. >> tucker: is a awful lot of insider trading and habits all the time and you read books about it, god bless you for doing that. but a moral component where the threat is bad enough that he's liquidating his portfolio and lying to the public and saying all is fine. i want to know specifically,

whose decision is it that he goes to the senate ethics committee and doesn't resign or face prosecution? who made that decision, we should know. >> is making the decision and the senate leadership and the is making the decision. if here's the problem, tucker. as the the political class gets to make their own rules and in our history, there was a sense that you didn't want the department of justice investigating and arresting senators because the executive branch could use it to bully the legislative branch. we are well past that. where the point where they are above the law, the rules don't apply, we have the stock and this is a clear violation of stock act. as are going to be any legal action taken and is the senate going to ask him to resign? know. that's why he got to have outsider accountability and the department of justice and clearly within its bounds to pursue the case. >> tucker: limit use the words, mitch mcconnell, because that's what this is

about the senate leader getting it done right now. chooses not to and i don't usually go after mitch mcconnell but i agree with him but this is wrong, and he should fix this i think creative peter schweizer, thank you for eliminating that. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: day by day, mark coronavirus cases appear in the country i'm taking up bigger toll and a cheap breaking news correspondent, trace gallagher joining us now. >> did administration health officials now separate days the test and goes way up in the cases will follow suit and here it is. united states now has more than 19,000 covid-19 cases and that's an increase of over 5500 from yesterday easily the biggest single day rise yet. the u.s. now has 256 deaths. that's up 49 from yesterday which of course is devastating for families across the country and if there's a silver lining,

it's that the fatality rate is slowly ticking down. it last week, over 2.2% and now 1.3% and more testing positive but more people are surviving. 275,000 cases worldwide, almost 91,000 people so far have fully recovered and today, president trump said that they do not want every american test agree to watch. >> we want people to have a problem, that have a problem with the sneezing, sniffling, don't feel good, have a temperature, a lot of different things. you know better than i do. we don't need that. >> interest income you're a colleague raised u.s. kids was in washington state also where the death toll is highest but the university of washington virology department closely track in washington state numbers is now seeing the curve there flattened. overall, u.s. numbers are rising but the first state affected might be seeing a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

tucker. >> tucker: trace gallagher, terrific as always. thank you. well, contending with the threats, physical threat of coronavirus is bad enough but some cities are making life worse for normal people by releasing criminals into their neighborhoods. even accused murderers. other cities it's become virtually impossible by guns to protect yourself. plus, malaria treatment being investigated as a possible cure for the coronavirus. certainly, treatment for the coronavirus. promising evidence and not conclusive but worth knowing. we will be right back. ♪

♪ >> tucker: millions of americans are anxious right now thanks to being stuck inside and worrying about the coronavirus and yet warily at the same moment, the nation has not been more on edge and at least 20 years. at some of the leaders have decided to make everything worse and exacerbate the fear by undermining most basic kinds of law and order and not theoretical stuff but very practical. earlier this week, we told you about how philadelphia and other states are no longer arresting people for crimes, real crimes like theft, vandalism, burglary. taking into your house and nobody will get arrested. cleveland, authorities have done one better in the name of checking coronavirus, authorities have released a man charged with murder and facing a possible life sentence. >> richard played guilty to child abuse charges after severely injuring his four-month child nearly ten years ago. right before he was released on

probation last year, prosecutors say he died because of the injuries the man and flicked it in 2010. according to court documents, the 41-year-old was allowed to post a $5,000 bond because of concerns over the coronavirus spreading to presenters. although he is charged with a violent crime, they don't believe he's at risk to the community. he's on the ankle monitor and living in a halfway house. he turned himself in in december and so officials don't see him as a risk trait of his trial is scheduled for july and convicted he could face a life sentence. >> tucker: time like this, goes without saying and people know this intuitively, important to protect yourself and it comes right down to it, nobody else well. but washington, d.c., that suddenly hard. in order to make buying a gun difficult, residents can only get handguns by having them shipped to a lone gun dealer right outside the city and right now, the dealer has stopped accepting handgun transfers and

the transfer backlog has grown too long. the handgun right now before things get worse, too bad for you. jason radio host in seattle, and declining even before the kronos virus and thank you so much for coming on transfixed by the syndrome unfolding where certain leaders are simultaneously making communities more dangerous and clamping down on the ability to protect yourself. what does that tell you? >> it tells you that they don't have the priorities are in order at all and i think what's going on in a lot of ways, kind of what we expected and in cities like seattle, l.a., san francisco, new york, they're not really enforcing the law as it is. all of a sudden we're being told, hey, guess what if you are charged with certain terms were not going to book you know because you know what, we don'te coronavirus crisis in the jail cell. which i understand, but there certainly ways to mitigate the effects of the coronavirus on

bookings and were sitting all across the state, likely not yet in seattle but i'm hearing it's going to happen starting next week. if where certain types of crime and the ones that are nonserious, nonfelony's. but i'm sorry, we got a offender problem all across the country and these are people who are again, again, again committing crimes and all of a sudden it were not going to throw them in jail? how about we mitigate the problems at the front end of that? >> tucker: it seems -- look, i'm sure that our people in jail, the elderly and i'm not that draconian about this stuff, but it's a matter of focus and it seems like all the attention is how on the people who have broken the law, hurt other people, a threat to society, all the concern is for them. what about everybody else? people huddling in their apartment, their homes, they don't know -- why would you make life worse for normal people? seriously? >> not even worse for the people who work -- those of us who not choose to break the law it's also the cops because were telling them, hey, were caring

deeply about you in the same time telling the entire world were not going to book you for such an crimes. it's just a bad p.r. move. >> tucker: they don't care about the cops not whatsoever ad there is an active it's group how they're going to kill cops, black lives matter, spare me. of greatest seo. thank you. part of the coronavirus efforts and traffic across the u.s.-mexico border the president put it this way. >> the northern and southern burden, they are both being treated equally and a lot of people are not treated equally and yet they are. as we did with canada, where working with mexico to implement new rules at the ports of entry to suspend nonessential travel. >> tucker: running the department of homeland security,

secretary, think you for coming on. so why did the president announced this? what's the threat he's trying to protect the country from? >> sure, this is of the extension of the aggressive containment efforts the president has ordered since january. trying to keep more cases of the virus from coming in the country, not her medical seal around the country, but it slows the ability of the virus to get into the country so we can deal with thee effectively. >> tucker: so if you had like a serious outbreak of the disease in mexico and it doesn't seem like they're taking any precautions there, and then you have a financial crisis after that. if you get away of over the southern border in this that a concern? >> that's a concern and a very real concern and it's difficult at times as we have had spotting cases in the united states called surveillance in the public health.

south of laos, mexico and all the way in the south, they have less ability to identified the virus in the communities and the less ability for the public health system to treat it. as we see the cases rising in the countries that from the pipe line into our country, it becomes a very serious concern to see exactly the scenario you described, tucker, actually unfolding. we are trying to stay ahead of it, you seen the math, just flying out of control and the virus, we don't want to wait until it's a problem and we haven't had a case of the coronavirus in our detainee population yet. we've been very successful in that regard, but we know that more and more thousands of more cases are coming and we do not want to situation where our relative strength as a country and community from the public health standpoint actually attracts people. or they try to take advantage of the fact that our people get

sick too to try to cross the border. so we have taken very aggressive steps to reduce the traffic on both borders and in cooperation with both of our neighbors. >> tucker: our health care system is already bursting at the seams, we can afford foreign nationals at all. i'm glad you came tonight, thank you. >> my pleasure, tucker, always good to be with you. >> tucker: so could a malaria drug to treat coronavirus? some people say it can, but it's not proven. but there's evidence tonight for the optimistic and anyway, will tell you what it is. we will be right back. ♪ want to brain better? unlike ordinary memory supplements- neuriva has clinically proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance.

looking for help. you are doing sensationalism and that's really bad reporting. you want to get back on reporting and instead of sensationalism, let's see if it worked and it might or might not. i happen to feel good about it but who knows, i've been right a lot. >> tucker: so will it work? everyone is hoping for that and most people, maybe not some news networks but some people hope it works. it will lead? we are still finding out the evidence is still streaming and lot of people working and some people are getting created with it now. their son, dr. spencer research scientist recently that coronavirus is running rapids every country where malaria has been eradicated. but places that still have malaria like africa, southeast asia, america, the disease is almost nonexistent. it could be locked, maybe climate, poor record-keeping, but other possibility and tantalizing but the countries

where malaria remains endemic, a large percentage of the population has taken an antimalaria drugs in the past where is currently taking them. it's obstructing the spread of the virus. if the connections real, it's a reason for hope and continue to update you on this and all promising treatments for the coronavirus. we should be open to anything. by now, everyone's aware that coronavirus is much deadlier for older people but also data suggesting the virus is much more dangerous, much more dangerous for men than women and in italy, more than 70% of coronavirus deaths so far have been among men. that's a very pronounced trend. what's causing it? we go to mn we trust, and our viewer trust, dr. marc siegel joining us tonight for answers and doctor, the giver coming on. this is a very big curve, 70% of fatalities and what you think that is. >> first of all, but let me talk about italy, we have 40,000 cases and 3400 deaths and

disturbing everyone because that's a large percentage of deaths. it likely, not the percentage here. yet 60% of the cases in italy are men and 70% of the deaths, here in new york city were giving you an example 5,000 cases, 60% men. why would that be? here's an interesting idea. studying genomics last year, it showed the x chromosome is a lot that gives you immunological response and your immune system is tied to the x chromosome. who has x chromosome? woman, they have better immune systems, stronger immune systems than men and there's a lot of theories as to why and are they exposed to germs earlier on going through childbirth? and a lot of the things factor in and another thing is, men are more likely to be smokers and drink alcohol then women and i will tell you right now, i'm concerned about cigarettes and vaping in the situation. if anything that affects your lungs and a big thing that's killing people is pneumonia and we talked about it. if it comes from covid-19 and

in. long puts you at risk. >> tucker: just can't get past the genetic differences. but anyway, discussing that later, do you think this is not an anomaly and you said on the on site and want to sell it quickly, we are not seeing the same phenomenon in south korea. >> i don't know why that is, women and south korea live longer than men and it may be that there is differences in how people socialize. if i has a lot to do with the way we cover the antiviral drug, putting together epidemiological evidence that we don't have all the answers yet. the point that you made about the malaria drug it is fascinating and people are taking it over here. here, i wonder about the ways that people socialize, men versus women and maybe south korea has a different pattern grade of may be in italy, there's a different player in but i will tell you one thing, i believe the unique genomic study i looked at it closely and i was believe this and i think women have stronger

immune systems. if definitely stronger. going through childbirth, and i believe it's a real phenomenon. by the way, do your point, the virus itself may have a different way of affecting men than women and another thing as we study the virus under the microscope in the human tissue were going to figure that out. it may be estrogen can protect you. >> tucker: amazing, interesting, talker, thank you. so, washington hammering out a plan to support americans through the coronavirus shut down grade of affecting a lot of people. at work, will you get a check in the mail with actual check or some kind of refund tax stamp? we have the answers after the break. ♪

using the word racist and americans shut down, don't call me that! it sounds familiar, that line. why does it sound familiar because it's exactly what our own leaders are saying. .2 hillary clinton recently tweeting this "the president is turning to racist rhetoric to distract from his failures to take the coronavirus, adequately preparing the country for a period of crisis. it don't fall for it." television host have been happy to. the exact same line and watch this. >> it was china who came to the rescue, sending medical personnel, nine talents of ventilators, electrocardiograms, tens of thousands of masks. all desperately needed by a health care system in crisis and appreciated up by citizens stuck at home. if europe has few other options, donald trump america first policy has seen a gradual

they are looking based on the timeline right now, the first payment will come in about three weeks, small businesses are getting loans. if you use that to pay your payroll or to pay your rent, you won't have to pay that back and it can convert into a grant and finally, taxpaying has moved to july 15th. if you don't have to file or pay until then. and you don't have to pay a penalty. they get benefit there on money. >> tucker: just to be clear, you don't have to call 1-800 number and you don't have to apply for this, you file in the government widely using the routing number or using the address on the filing. when you sit back and collect the belgrade >> sit back and inr mail, i asked that and i don't o but i don't -- i don't feel like i got a straight answer on that so i don't want to be on the hook and i was asking not because they were saying for people who have no tax liability in the past are getting a lower amount. everybody got mad and what that

means is that if you are a veteran on disability or on social security and you don't have an income, you are still going to get like $600. just not $1200. because he did not pay taxes essentially in 2018. so that's pretty cool. >> tucker: what is -- of course it is, people are really happy. what's the threshold above which you get nothing? >> i'm glad you asked, $200,000 for a couple, $100,000 for an individual, you won't get the $1200 if you're between 75-100 or 200 if you're married to. you don't get the full 1200 and you get a smaller amount by some calculation but again, this is how it's written today and the president has to sign it next week and there's a with a chance for something to change between now and then play video of me saying i lied, this is what the truth is right now. >> tucker: it's washington as we know, but thank you for straightening that out. happy weekend.
