they are being allowed to get away with it. >> tucker: if fox news and this show were under the control of google we would have been silenced and pulled off the air a long time ago. you can bet money on that. harmeet, great to see you tonight. thank you. that's it for us tonight. stay in touch with the ones you love. we will see you tomorrow. sean hannity takes over. >> sean: good show, thank you. welcome to "hannity." as you know every night would begin, this is a national emergency that our country is going to come it continues. we start with facts without fears. just the facts, the good the bad and the ugly, what should most concern you and your family. sadly this time, we see the worse and some people but the majority we see the best in. we are going to name names, america needs to know. we start tonight with an important message from the president earlier today. take a look. >> i want every american to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead. we are going to go through a very tough two weeks. and then hopefully as the experts are predicting, as i

think a lot of us are predicting, after having studied it so hard, we are going to start seeing some real light at the end of the tunnel. this is going to be a very painful, very, very painful two weeks. >> sean: the president saying that we all need to face the truth, make no mistake. the next two weeks, maybe longer, will be rough. here is where we are we are up-to-the-minute tonight. fema has supply 250 ambulances and 500 emts to new york. that's the point of interest right now. it could spread elsewhere. the army corps of engineers are developing a facilities to expand hospital capacity in california, including hundreds of additional sites across the u.s. fema is soon delivering a 250 bed field hospital in the state of michigan. and additional field hospitals now being built in louisiana. up to 500 beds as of now. and a 3,000 bed alternate care site, they are building that in new orleans. also fema is also providing 100 travel trailers to help with

housing needs in the administration, they are giving hospitals the flexibility to use new facilities for noneffective people if that is in their best interest. they are on the ground. they need to make those decisions. so far, this country has completed 1.1 million tests. that's more than anywhere else in the world by far. but that's not all. today we got more facts without fear from president trump about america's supplies for example we've heard so much about ventilators. let's take a look. >> we have almost 10,000 ventilators that we have ready to go. we have to hold them back because the surge is coming and it's coming pretty strong. we want to be able to immediately move it into place without going into taking it. we sent a large number of ventilators to michigan. we are sending them to louisiana. we sent additional ventilators to new york. additional ventilators to new jersey. >> sean: keep in mind multiple major u.s. companies are now

mass-producing new ventilators. between ford, 3m, general motors, over 10,000 additional ventilators will be ready by mid-april. that's coming up. 15 days. with thousands to follow. as much as 50,000 thereafter. tonight there are so many great businesses. we do have to stop. these people have gone to bat for we, the american people. they deserve our praise tonight. more importantly we owe a debt of gratitude to all the americans in every corner of this country rising to the occasion. starting with oh, our military men and women that are not helping. amazing americans. national guard. this is the best our country has to offer. we can see this in the roughest of times. earlier today the president saluted the brave doctors and scientists and nurses and all the health care professionals, they'll put their lives on the line. they do it around the clock, around the country tirelessly working for the american people. on the front lines to beat back this well, in reasonabl invisib.

>> i watched the doctors and nurses walking into that hospital this morning. it's like military people going into battle, going into war. the bravery is incredible. and i just have to take my hat. i would take my hat if i were wearing a hat, i would rip that hat off so fast and i would say you people are just incredible. they really are. they are very brave. >> sean: these medical workers, they have a tough road ahead, all praise to them tonight. by the way, this brings us to our facts without fear. these are the things that we've got to keep an eye on as a country. we all need to be concerned about. worry, panic, hysteria, that's not the answer. we have to think strategically and stand back and make the best decisions we can make based on new information involving everyday. hospitals are on the country, they are now being stretched dangerously thin. protective medical supplies, we are getting reports are running

low in the areas, one big concern is more people, younger people are being impacted. remember, every single expert for pretty much five, six weeks said and reported just the very opposite. only older people with underlying conditions or compromised immune systems. now, if the patterns that we see and have witnessed around the world hold in the united states, a new corona cases will sharply arises partially because we are doing more testing than anybody else. remember there are people asymptomatic so people will not even know they have this virus. the death toll will leg behind, but is dr. fauci and others saip increase before we see the virus level off and ultimately what we all want, to decrease and i'll get back to the lives we want to live. the white house now predicting it's possible between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths in the u.s. but it could have been 2.2 million. very interesting charts.

let us hope for the best-case scenario. take a look. >> dr. fauci, should americans be prepared for the likelihood that they will be 100,000 americans who die from this virus? >> the answer is yes. as sobering a number as that is, we should be prepared for it. is it going to be that much? i hope not, and i think the more we push on the mitigation, the less likelihood it would be that number. but as being realistic, we need to prepare ourselves that that is the possibility. >> sean: this is why the president extended the social distancing plan until april 30. all medical experts are saying that will prevent people from contracting the virus, and exponentially that will mathematically prevent people from ultimately dying. we want to save american lives. we believe in life. we protect the lives of people all across this globe. we've got to protect americans now. all hands on deck.

now it is a concerning number, frankly downright scary. we hope and pray that we never get there. and that lives are saved. dr. fauci talked about it. that could all happen too appear because of the president's decisive actions, we have time to potentially curb that number and mitigate this disease. travel ban, that brought us a tone of time. the quarantines, also bought us time. our current. macro social distancing is buying us more time. now the thing is, no president has done more compact and more quickly. the book on pandemics has now been rewritten. future generations will learn from the lessons of this pandemic. never before have all of these new things happened. now hospitals and doctors and american businesses, they have time to fight back, as they have been. look at the announcement this week. abbott labs creating a five-minute test. that will be a game changer. studies now underway to determine the effects of new treatment and a vaccine is

already in phase one trials. it used to take years to get the sequence of a virus. american ingenuity, brilliant scientists, medical researchers and doctors, incredible people all of them. meanwhile also american businesses have started mass-producing personal protective equipment. wherever the need is, that our health care professionals, that they desperately need and we must provide for them. and n95 respirators, masks, gloves, shields, protective suits are now being made by companies all across america. this great american ingenuity and hard work is part of the facts that should give you hope tonight. tonight we have other good news to share. we will start in california where after two weeks of strict social distancing policies, doctors are now cautiously optimistic that that curb is now flattening out around the bay area. according to politico, hospitals are reporting fewer cases than they expected to see. that is good, as we look at this now, the scary time we are

heading into. new york, new jersey, connecticut and maybe some other hot spots around the country. last week, washington state, they saw a decrease in the pace of new cases, particularly around seattle. a lot of good work by the governor out there. meanwhile in italy, europe's coronavirus appy, new cases finally of the virus have begun the process we hope of leveling off and we are now at a two week low. according to a brand-new study from a medical journal in the united kingdom, the death rate, they say for covid-19, those cases could be as low as 0.6%. let me be clear. we are now in an uncertain time, but what is certain is the might, they will, the power, the ingenuity of you, we the american people. soon this invisible enemy, it will be defeated. but hang on tight. the next few weeks will definitely be rocky. that's especially true in the state of new york where we are

tonight. which is now the epicenter at this moment of the disease. today the state released a statement, once again blaming the federal government. they released a statement. the states were not slow to respond. the federal government was absent." okay. andrew cuomo, you are missing in action. mayor de blasio, you are missing in action. really? you have the highest per capita taxes in the country, new york state and city. and virtually zero stockpile of equipment, masks, gloves. nothing. the stockpile of ventilators, totally insufficient. and the states have fewer ventilators on hand than the national average. in fact, former lieutenant governor of new york betsy mccoy points out that cuomo was warned of the shortage of ventilators in 2015. they only had 2,000. the task force recommended they needed 18,000. so instead of buying 16,000

more, cuomo did nothing. and now he is screaming at the president whose building hospital after hospital, sending all the ventilators and he puts in the warehouse, now he's lecturing the president, well, that's why the federal government sent over 4,000 to you that you stuck in a warehouse. multiple emergency hospitals. you know how the u.s. ns comforter in new york harbor and it gets even worse. cuomo borrowing new york citizens, this has got to end. hospitalized -- if you're not hospitalized, the last place you want to be is in a hospital right now if you can prevented. now the only place you can go in the state of new york to get hydroxychloroquine is at a pharmacy. they are not allowed to give it to you. that's right. governor cuomo rescinded that order and take responsibility, why didn't you buy those ventilators? he spent $750 million on a failed solar panel project in upstate new york. it went belly up. why didn't you spend money on downs? really?

you're going to attack the president of the federal government in the middle of an emergency? you also take responsibility for your poor planning. new york is the number-one terror target and the entire world. new york should be prepared. the first trade center attack, 9/11, new york, highest concentration of 10 billion people, smallest geographical location. and a pandemic, new york city is ground zero. an international city. joining us now with an important coronavirus update is the health human service secretary, admiral raj shah waters with us. let's talk about where we are from a health perspective and more importantly, and dr. oz will join us later tonight, where are we with treatment while we now expedite this push towards a vaccine? >> thank you, sean, what a great summer you did of where we are, where we have come and the president's great leadership. where we are right now is we know we are starting to get

signals back by listen to the president's advice on how to slow the spread. we are starting to get signals that that's actually happening. the president of course gave the right leadership yesterday in extending that for another 30 days. it's very important to know that although we are seeing signs of success, this could all go for not if we take our foot off the gas. we have to keep doing it exactly the way the president and vice president have said. 30 more days to slow the spread and we are going to see the curve turn around. there is light at the end of the tunnel. there's every reason to be optimistic. >> sean: let me put up these white house charts. you have a chart of dr. fauci and dr. birx showed in the press conference today, goals of community mitigation. the chris murphy fatality model. throw them up one by one. the cumulative cases by state. the white house cumulative cases per 100,000. explain what you see, what

people are seeing in these models. >> so we all look at models because they kind of help us predict the future to the degree we can. but really all day every day i'm on the phone with officials in new york city. i've been on the phone this evening with new jersey, with chicago, with new orleans. really understanding what's on the ground. basically where we are. we have to understand that although the measures the president has asked us to do are making an impact, the people we are seeing in the hospital now became sick or infected ten or 12 or 14 or 15 days ago. so right now, we are reaching the peak, the peak of illnesses. even though the infection rate may start to go down, the peak of illnesses are there and that's what we are really focusing down now, getting the ventilators to people who need it, getting the personal protective equipment. this is absolutely historic and unprecedented. the president putting in the private sector, working with the public sector, and the entire government, state governments

working together. it's truly unprecedented. and in the output and position that this is being led. >> sean: let me put up the chart that was shown to us today. again, if the patterns hold, south korea, china, and other places around the world, listen, italy got hammered. look at that curve. what you see is that their efforts now are beginning to go on a decline. are you confident that's the case? are you confident they are now beginning t to the leveling off process and hopefully precipitous decline? >> there's always uncertainty but we are pretty confident that italy is over the curve. that doesn't mean you can stop. that's a very important for us here in the united states. washington looks like they have done a great job and are reaping the benefits. california, similarly. but we are still in the state where you have to listen to the advice. we could go right back up that curve if we don't listen for the

next 30 days, as the president and vice president have said. now we have so many things on our side right now because we know how to beat the virus. those 30 days of social distancing the way we said. as you said, sean, we are seeing potentially promising new treatments like hydroxychloroquine. it's not proven in an exact scientific way but there is mounting data and i'm talking to everyone around the country who. in most hospitals if you're sick you're going to be getting one of these drugs. plasma therapy or this hydroxychloroquine. we are learning more and more and more every day. i am certain by the end of this week we will know even more than we know now. >> sean: i know vernice is going to give away 130 million doses, israel has delivered 6 million. 4 million more on the way. for free in their pharmaceuticals. we have a lot of help in that regard. admiral, thank you for all your efforts and all you're doing. i appreciate it. also tonight, the president calling for potentially a $220 instructor bill.

he would be phase 4 of the federal government's response to the pandemic. here now to explain what that would entail is our own melissa francis. melissa, thank you. i'm getting nervous about these numbers. they are really scary. i mean certainly we rebuilt europe. we beat back communism, fascism, nazism, imperial japan. we have saved the world time and time again. now it's time to save americans. is it needed now? >> well, i mean, i look at it this way, sean. you heard nancy pelosi and other democrats clamoring for money. they wanted to give money to the kennedy center. they want to open up a fire hose and spray it and all of their favorite directions. so if we are going to spend more money, then it's probably makes sense to aim at an infrastructure at our crumbled roads. but we want to be careful of and i have every confidence the president would be careful of this, we don't want it to go into the slush fund for the

highway transportation where you know basically it goes into pay legacy costs and pensions and promises from the past. we wanted to actually go out there and do something. with the obama-biden administration, the shovel-ready jobs as we all know were not shovel ready. it took years in order for those projects to get going. and they were new jobs. they went to sort of existing workers and there was a lot of evidence that something's got built. but he didn't really create very many jobs. i mean, we also remember about the obama-biden stimulus. that's where we all heard about solyndra. they are one of the companies under the clean energy portion of the act that you know got some funding. so your right to bm you know concerned, and definitely we would want a good check on this on where it's going and ant it's actually building things but you know there's going to be more stimulus and you know we've already seen, you know, that democrats aren't satisfied and they want to see more spending. if we're going to spend it on

something, sean, i would guess that infrastructure would be a good way to do it. >> sean: i would like to see the $2.2 trillion. we saw how atrocious the democrats are, national endowment for the arts, the kennedy center, national endowment for the humanities. never underestimate washington's ability to waste our hard-earned money. melissa francis, thank you. now as president trump bolsters our virus response, or capability, takes bold decisive action to combat the pandemic, democrats day after day. you know, you see the best in the 90% of americans. but they sink to new lows and play politics with our nation's safety and security. we saw the hold out for our health care workers, our hourly workers, our small businesses. we saw for big businesses. why? because they want to cork. they wanted to say the kennedy center. he wanted the national endowment for the arts funded. it's insane. listen to pelosi this morning saying she only talks of the president as needed. i'm sure he's got better things

to do, nancy. take a look. >> well, i have spoken to presidents on an as-needed basis. it's an historical occasion when the speaker and the president speak. it's history. when its purpose and what is the urgency? i don't know what i would learn in a conversation with the president. we speak to each other right now and that's what he really hears, what people say publicly. much more than what you might say in a call. >> sean: she's almost as incoherent as joe biden. i wonder if nancy would now answer this question. hey, nancy, did donald trump, ten days after the first diagnosed case of coronavirus in the united states, do you make the right call and put the travel ban in effect? and then the quarantine and effect question right by the way what were you doing question mike that's right, your party was busy impeaching the president, having your little t.

as the country cries out for bipartisanship and unity and strength, democrats, same people in the mob and the media, playing the same all political games. our country does deserve better. i have no expectations. don't forget as president trump was instituting that ban, and saving uncounted thousands of american lives and thousands of americans from contracting as virus, he was also forming his coronavirus task force. we all know what the democrats were all obsessed with. their schiff show. as the senate majority leader, mcconnell explained that obsession complete lee diverted the attention of the government. get this. democrats are now wanting to have 9/11 style commission on the presidents virus response. we haven't fixed the problem yet. wow. anyway joining us and with reaction, house minority leader kevin mccarthy. well, that didn't take long. let's have another investigati investigation. >> that's all they want to do. we need administration came down

to brief the house about coronavirus, they were preoccupied with impeachment instead of protecting this country. that's exactly the only thing they focused upon. and then you watch nancy pelosi. i watched her sit there and say those words, and it was very upsetting to me as an american, not as an elected official but as an american. because she's the one who flew in on sunday. i was in that meeting. she stopped the relief. she restricted any relief from coming unless she could invoke her liberal wish list into reality. she talked about changing election law. she talked about planned parenthood. she talked about paying off pensions. this is why she held back, why millions of americans lost their jobs. we just got this to trillion dollar bills through. the president has signed it. you're watching things come to fruition now with the regulations coming out and she's wanting to spend trillions more instead of letting this go to work and our real focus should be on the health the nation. and its citizens. and then after we get through this if there's a target area,

but she is upset because she did not get that wish list. when you talk about the kennedy center and others, the real upsetting part that she has is all the things she couldn't put in. remember what her number three said. this is a time to change the scope and the direction of this country into their belief, to restructure it, was the actual words. >> sean: we saw what they did with the money. i would like to see how it pans out. obviously i couldn't believe that the people that were hurting were front-line hospital workers. hourly workers that are displaced that have mortgages and rent some car payments and kids in college. and small business owners and big businesses. so i can only imagine what their wish list is here. should we let this play out a little bit? 2.2 trillion is a lot. 4 trillion loan guarantees backed by the fed is a lot also. >> think about what you have here. 90% of the spill was already decided. the corporate would help americans. they are going to a check directly from the government if

you make $99,000 or less. if you're on a blood coming or you're going to get? you're going to get taken care of. $600 more per week from the federal government outside of what your state provides about what we really want to make sure is that you stay on the job. so any small business owner, we are going to provide you the money. yes it's alone but you know what, if you spend that money and you don't have to go to the sba, go to your local bank, we guarantee it. if you employ it on -- the nonemployees rent utilities, it's no longer alone. it's a grant. larger businesses over 500 employees be secure loan but we give you a tax benefit. this is all for two months. get this economy back going to where it was before. the strongest economy in the world. >> sean: all right, congressman. appreciate all your efforts. when we come back, china is still not being honest. lindsey graham saying trade with china will change. they make a lot of our pharmaceuticals. that coming up. senator graham will join us and dr. oz on the medical side of

what you and your family need to know. straight ahead. boston light, america's oldest lighthouse, has stood strong through every dark hour and bright dawn our country has endured. it has seen the break in the clouds before anyone else. for the past 168 years, we've also stood by you, helping you weather storms like this one, to protect your loved ones. and we'll do it for 168 more.

the virus outbreak is raising calls for the u.s. to address our dangerous dependence on china, especially as beijing continues reckless health practices because as the daily mail reports, china has still not shut down their so-called what they call wet markets. i don't know what that is but that's what they call them. with the virus is believed to have started. see that thing question like that as a bat. that's where they suspect i think this thing came from. here to explain more, chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher. what kind of market is that? i don't understand. >> it's a wet market. they sell meat, fresh, produce

and exotic animal some of which are killed on site to ensure freshness. the daily mail recording that while the country still finding covid-19 one of its reporters witnessed thousands of people at one of these wet markets in southwest china. quoting here "the markets have gone back to operating in exactly the same way as they did before coronavirus. the only difference is that security guards tried to stop anyone taking pictures which would never have happened before." today on "fox & friends," senator lindsey graham said these markets need to shut down immediately and he offered this morning. watch. >> i am going to write out letter to the chinese ambassador saying if you don't shut those wet markets down, our trading relationship is going to change. >> we are also learning china was not including asymptomatic people in its national tally of coronavirus cases, which is at least 1500 people. a top chinese health officials as they will start including those beginning tomorrow. separately i want to clarify sean we pointed out last night

that senator david perdue was among the lawmakers who sold stock prior to the coronavirus market crashed, he did but his team also points out he purchased stock and is not being investigated by the department of justice. sean. >> sean: that is some good news. it looks bad. we need answers. thank you, trace gallagher. joining us with more, senator lindsey graham. senator, i'm getting a look at that bat. that's a little scary. more importantly -- you really, you know we need to laugh occasionally. >> wait a minute. wait a minute. i just had dinner in greenville. the best steak house in america. it was wonderful. >> sean: wait, you're not allowed to go in. it's my favorite steak house. what allowed t what happened to social distancing question likee in quarantine i sent you food se wouldn't starve. >> you did. you did.

no bats, just aches. >> sean: they lied to the world, british study, 95% of all this could've been stopped. donald trump has been warning the world about china for a long time. now they're not even giving us accurate data. they have been difficult the whole way. this whole origins, okay, it happens. pandemics happen. okay. now our pharmaceuticals, very high percentage, we are dependent on china. that's got to change. >> yeah, tom cotton has a bill to bring the supply chain back to america. 90% of all compounds that go into making antibiotics for americans are made in china. let's get back to the wet markets. these wet markets are pandemic incubators. three of the last worldwide pandemics have come from that part of the world. they literally are selling bats and monkeys, parts in these wet markets. creates all kind of diseases from animals to human beings. they need to be shut down.

china needs to up its game in terms of the wet markets and shut these places down. >> sean: yeah. all right, so that's part of it. why have we outsourced america's medicine to china? how it has that happened? >> it's cheaper. it's cheaper. it's just cheaper. people -- they've got smart people in china. i want a good relationship with china. president trump is right. >> sean: i don't want to be at war with anybody, i agree with you. >> but you've got to be smart about it. the reason all this moved to china is cheaper. donald trump was so far ahead of his time, these press conferences, i enjoy watching them. they are transparent. what i heard today just was sobering as. 100,000 people to 200,000 people. but we can do now is saving lives. why are we flying from new york to detroit and detroit to new york. that makes no sense. >> sean: you said this about nancy pelosi. what she has been saying and how

these democrats have been acting, it's shocking. but it's not shocking. it's predictable i guess at this point. >> it sad and disgusting. >> sean: and repulsive. usually occurs when i ask those questions. i'll see you. senator, thank you. looking out for your families, what are the facts that you need to know, how to keep your family safe. dr. oz will weigh in on that. also the white house projections. how bad can this be, straight ahead. everyone living in your home on april 1st counts. my aunt and uncle who live with us, count. my best friend who sleeps over every friday night, doesn't count. (laughs) my new baby sister, she counts. my mom's best friend, who's been living with us, she counts. the dog, mr. bebe, should count, but he doesn't. complete the census online, by phone, or by mail. shape your future. start here at 2020census.gov

avoid sick people... and touching your face. there are everyday actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases. visit cdc.gov/covid19. brought to you by the national association of broadcasters and this station. >> sean: the president had some very sobering news for the country. he said the next two weeks will be very painful. the coronavirus task force, they are projecting covid-19 could potentially kill between 100,000

and 200,000 americans. they also explained without the mitigation efforts in the travel ban and the quarantine, it could have been as high as 2.2 million. now on how you can keep your family safe is the host of the doctor ashok, dr. aust. you've been telling me privately these exact numbers. i need to give you credit for that. how do you interpret that? would it have been 2.2? is that possible? and that is the range that you see? >> it's could've definitely been 2.2 million. that's a worst-case scenario. i think the numbers that we are hearing today are feasible. ideally we will do better than that. i would suspect a lot of people think 100,000, or 150,000 is probably a number that's in the middle of the ballpark. the event we can do even better. some of the social distancing i'm so proud of americans are actually taken the start of seriously separating themselves from each other. we can beat the 100,000 number but if we get in that range,

think what that means. that means we are two to three times what a bad influence takes in terms of american lives. it's all horrible. it's terrible and it happens especially when it's an avalanche and it comes to hospitals at once. but that's a number that most of us would in retrospect would be okay with. when you consider the alternative, a million or 2 million lives. >> sean: let me ask you. i like you. i have read and read and read and i'm not a doctor. i'm not going to play one on tv. but while we are working on a vaccine and record time, we don't sequence viruses as quickly as we did here and what was it, six weeks? amazing. hydroxychloroquine along with azithromycin and maybe zinc has shown everywhere i read, tremendous tremendous opportunity to treat people to prevent death. i want to see more of that. novartis has said they will now produce and give americans 130 million doses. the israelis have already

donated 6 million. they are about to donate 4 million more. bayer is pledging to make some. for me the worst place to get a -- to be is in a hospital. to get a prescription in new york you have to go to hospital. that has to be lifted. do you agree or disagree? >> i agree. i suspect there were concerns about the folks with rheumatoid arthritis and folks with lupus who penned on hydroxychloroquine and couldn't get it, theoretically people hoarding it. i think that's like evan or cuomo did that. as you mentioned with these great companies donating product, it's an in extensive old malaria drug. we'll have enough of it. we ought to lift the ban and i have a close friend in new york city, the doctor said i would give it to you but you can find it and they are right. should have stopped the whole process. once again it's not fda approved

for this purpose. it's approved for other purposes. the vice president said he was pleased to have the fda allowed to be used by physicians, not getting in the way. many doctors are prescribing it. until we get randomized clinical data which i'm hoping we'll have her the next months, we are it out going to know for sure but there are centers all over the world. france and china at researching this actively as we are in america. you're going to see more publications were to find out whether it really works or not. >> sean: what's the early data show you? >> probably 100 reasonable candidates of solutions that could impact whether you can block the virus before it gets into your nose because it gets the front of your nose most of the time. or block it from getting in the cells in your nose or lungs or blocks it from replicating what's it's in your cells or just it stops the bad side effects that it causes, pneumonia and all the other information. any of those places we can attack it and we will won. that's what i'm confident about. our battle is more short-term issue. what we do over the next month? can we reach our peak in

new york in the next two weeks? we look around and see we are coming down. social distancing is working. other tactics like masks, in the news a lot today, it's going to come to the forefront and we are going to be looking for ways of living our lives and staying effectively distant from everybody else. >> sean: i am making the case that we are throwing out the old book on how to deal with pandemics. i don't think travel ban's will be considered controversial or quarantines lifting fda off label use or compassionate care or right to choose our telemedicine. i think that's the future. how key ten days after the first known case in the u.s., the president with the travel ban and. in your mind, how many americans if you can probably were prevented from getting contracting the virus and maybe die? >> i mean, it's hard to judge that number but i can tell you in retrospect most of it but he studied this agrees that was a good idea. a lot of us were uncomfortable because that's not what we do. we don't ban other countries

from coming to our country. that was an act that effectively slowed down the traveling of the virus at least to our west coast from china, later on similar bands reduced flow to the east coast. >> sean: how dramatic? wouldn't it have been exponentially worse? we've got to learn from this. at the world has to learn from this, right? so we can prevent death and prevent sickness. >> there are macro things you can do like stopping areas that are infected from traveling to other areas. that's what we are examining. certainly between countries where you have borders you can adjust. the macro things you can do in your own personal life. i use masks as an example, having an appropriate debate about whether masks work or not. obviously do because we use them in the hospital. they clearly work. we don't have enough of them so you can't use them at home because we need them in the hospital but those kinds of debates are actually really healthy. i love the fact that folks who never thought twice about wearing a mask and thought it was something people in other

countries dinner looking back and say when i become sick i ought to put a mask on me. or a bandanna, cloth. it's not about the mask, it's about facial covering. how do i prevent myself from sneezing or coughing at my coworkers. do allow official -- where a facial covering? >> sean: i like the idea, we know that handshake. i'm into martial arts. i like the elbow. i think that's a better -- we can do elbowing. dr. oz, you've been a real hero. i know every minute of every day, talking to you at 2:00 in the morning last night. you are a chelating data to help treat people. thank you for what you do. appreciate it. coming up, political science. some people using covid-19, the pandemic as an excuse to release prisoners. we'll have a full report. dan bongino, and geraldo join us. straight ahead good morning, mr. sun. good morning, blair. [ chuckles ] whoo. i'm gonna grow big and strong.

>> sean: most of americans have been unbelievable, all hands on deck. american corporations. there are always those people that are using something like this to advance a political agenda. like for example using this outbreak of corona to release criminals back to the streets. here in new york state, dozens of inmates have been released, including convicted sex offenders. here with the latest, trace gallagher again. >> authorities have repeatedly said that only low-level offenders would be released from jails and prisons over concerns of coronavirus. turns out that's not the case. in monroe county, near rochester, new york, 50 prisoners have been released from the county jail including eight registered sex offenders. three of whom were convicted of raping minors. a local police chief said he was never notified about the release and he says he's concerned

because the sex offenders are staying at a local holiday inn express. also in new york state, two men accused of robbing and of bank resulting in the death of an nypd detective were on the list of inmates set to be released from rikers island because of covid concerns. but a spokesperson for the queens d.a. now assists her office objected and they are no longer being considered. finally, we are learning the democrats in the house judiciary committee sent a letter to attorney general bill barr urging him to release as many inmates as possible and modify current sentences. sean: unbelievable. teresa, thank you for here with reaction, fox news contributor dan bongino. correspondent at large, geraldo rivera. geraldo, what i love about you, we have disagreements. we always say i want our president on our country to succeed and you mean it because i know you. how is it possible that with all that the president has done, rewriting them books on dealing with pandemics. we have never dealt with anything like this the way we are dealing with it.

incredible urgency, incredible money coming credible -- ten days and he did the travel ban. i don't hear anybody in the left-wing media or the democratic party saying you know, i give trump this. that travel ban was great. not even once. they just bludgeon him. >> you know, it's even worse than that, sean. when you think about the fact that the adam schiff-lead impeachment trial started in the middle of december, it took the whole month. and then the senate, the house found, impeach the president and then the senate trial a whole month of january. he was acquitted in early february. of course the guy was distracted. how did democrats feel know about this hoax, this hoax impeachment? totally distracted the leader of the free world, made him worry about his own historic legacy, totally attacking him every day. "the washington post," "the new york times," the whole of the mainstream media piling on the guy and then they say why

didn't you see what happened in china earlier? why weren't you more pressing? >> sean: wait a minute. "the washington post" was saying oh, you're a bunch of scaredy cats. they were saying that. all right, dan. >> sean, it's important to note here the timeline. facts matter and facts are really challenging for our liberal friends. they don't do that kind of thing often, you know. january 15, nancy pelosi was doing what? quick quiz for our liberal friends. that's right, she was celebrating. remember the pens, 7,600p used sign impeachment articles. every single little millimeter of her name was signed with a different pattern. they are on ebay, for auction, and the liberal hall of fame somewhere. that's when nancy pelosi was doing on january 15th as the wuhan virus was raging throughout china. >> sean: wait a minute. i remember nancy pelosi

preparing to do her prepared rip of the president's state of the union address in that speech. the president was warning about corona. that was almost a month after the travel ban. that's when they had just finished their impeachment trial, geraldo. >> you know, it's absolutely true. everyone has to live with what they were thinking, what they were doing during that crucial for us in our lives. but sean, let's focus if we can first of all, a shout out to my brother, chris cuomo. i hope you do well, brother. i hope for all of us these chilling estimates today, they got to me. 100,000 to 200,000 dead americans in the coming weeks. i mean, it's such an awesome blow. we have all got to pull together. we have got to feel -- >> sean: let me echo this. >> follow the social distancing. we will wash our hands. >> sean: listen. chris cuomo was our calling for a long time. chris is a great guy.

wonderful person. by the way, my political differences with his brother and the fact that he lacked total preparedness, screaming at the president, i need 30,000 this. how about some appreciation? that's politics. on a personal level, we are praying for chris. praying for his family. everyone else that gets this. thank you both. we will continue. woman: my reputation was trashed online.

>> sean: getting reports in idaho, 6.5 earthquake. we will follow that story. thoughts and prayers with you all. as well as those that have contracted coronavirus. also the villain of the day, you can't make this up. alec baldwin, american suffering, dying, corona pandemic. alec baldwin sighed as an opportunity to shockingly bash trump, tweeting "the virus in the u.s. began in january of 2017. the vaccine arrives in november. "

you see the best in people. the vast majority of people. then you see the insane people and interestingly the same people for the last three and a half years. deranged. all right, thank you for being with us. always fair, looking for the truth. not the media mob. let not your heart be troubled. laura, you've been having great shows. >> laura: data with you, hannity. i can't believe alec baldwin -- wasn't he supposed to move when bush was president? like, wasn't he supposed to be gone when bush got reelected? that was 2,004. >> sean: i will pay, i will pay. i will hire a jet to get into the country of his choice with the promise he can't come back. >> laura: that's the only way he flies, hannity. come on. you don't think he hops on like the rest of us. all right, sean, fantastic show. greagreat to see you. all right, i'm laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. the economy is crashing, we all see that. people are still dying. so it's time to get congress back to work so they can hel
