areg applied, and yet they being allowed to get away with it, absolutely. >> 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.ir >> thank you. >> tucker: 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 we begin, this is a national emergency that our country is going through, it continues. we start with facts without fear.ti just the facts, that means the good, the bad, 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 w 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 endin of the tunn. but this is going to be a verye 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 up-to-the-minute tonight. in order to prepare, 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 8 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 3,000o 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 noninfected 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. and 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 do00 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 all 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, invisible enemy. take a look.

>> 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 justtha incredi. 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 evolving everyday. hospitals around the country, they are now being stretched dangerously thin.re 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 united states,s, 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 lag behind, but is dr. fauci and others said today, will see a sharp increase before we see the virus level off and ultimately what we all want, to decreaseo and 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 there 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 bee 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 a possibility. >> sean: this is whyt 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 because of the president's decisive actions, we have time to potentially curb that number and mitigate this disease. travel ban, that bought us a tone of time. the quarantines also bought us time. our current period of social distancing is buying us more time.o 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. t that will be a game changer. studies now underway to determine the effects of new treatment andd 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, americanre 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. n 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. and 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 curve 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'sf coronavirus epicenter, new cases have finally, of the virus, begun a 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.l "the states were not slow to respond. the federal government was absent." okay. andrew cuomo, you are missing in action. mayor de blasio, you were missing in action. really? you have the highest per capita taxes in the country, new york state and city.av 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 now how the usns comforter right there in new york harborg and it gets even worse. cuomo borrowing new york citizens, this has got to end. hospitalized -- if you're not hospitalized, the last placehi you want to be is in a hospital right now if you can prevented. but 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, rescind that order and take responsibility, why didn't you buy those ventilators? you spent $750 million on a atailed solar panel project in upstate new york. it went belly up. why didn't you spend money on gowns? really? you're going to attack theheou

president and the federal government in the middle of an emergency? you also take responsibility for your poor planning. which new york is the number-one terror target in the entire world. new york should be prepared. the first trade center attack, 9/11. new york, highest concentration of 10 million people, smallest geographical location. in a pandemic, new york city is ground zero. an international city. joining us now with an important coronavirus update is the health and human service secretary, admiral brett john wall is 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 summary 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 listening toha the president's advice on how

to slow the spread. we are startingow to get signas that that's actually happening. the president of course gave the right leadership yesterday in extending that. for another 30 days. and it's very important to know that although we are seeing could of success, this all go for naught 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 h 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. we'll 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. c really understanding what's on the ground. basically where we are. we have to understand that although the measures thee president has asked us to do are making an impact, the people we are seeing in the hospital now became sick or infected 10 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 on 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.

in the output and precision 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. but 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 to the leveling off process and hopefully precipitous decline? >> well, there's always uncertainty, but we are pretty confident that italy is over the curve. but that doesn't mean you can stop. that's 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 that you have to listen to the advice.re because 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 ona our side right now because we know howve to beat the virus. those 30 days of social distancing, the way we've 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 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: and novartis 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. infrastructure bill.

it 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. i mean, they want to open up a fire hose and spray it in all of their favorite directions. so if we are going to spend more money, then it probably makes sense to aim at an infrastructure, at our crumbled roads. what 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.ow we want it 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. i mean, it took years in order for those projects to get going. and they weren't new jobs. they went to sort of existing workers and there was a lot of evidence that something's got built. but it 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. i mean, they are one of the companies under the clean energy portion of the actth th, you know, got some funding. so you're right to be, you know, concerned, and definitely we would want a good check on this and where it'ss going an and that 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.t. what do you think? >> sean: i would like to see how the $2.2 trillion does. 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.y. melissa francis, thank you. now, as president trump bolsters our virus response, our 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 up 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. they wanted the national endowment for the arts funded. it'sio 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 o look. >> well, i have always spoken to presidents on an as-needed basis.l, it's an historical occasion when the speaker and the president speak. it's history. what is it 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, did he make the right call and put the travel ban in effect? and then the quarantine in effect? by the way, what were you doing? that's right, your party was

busy impeaching the president, having your little trial. as the country cries out for bipartisanship and unity and strength, democrats, same people in the mob and the media, playing the same alle political games. our country does deserve better. i, have no expectations. don't forget, as president 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. anyway, as the senate majority leader mcconnell explained, that obsession completelyee diverted the attention of the government. get this. democrats are now wanting ton have 9/11 style commission on the president's virus response. we haven't fixed the problem yet. wow. anyway, joining us now with reaction, house minority leader kevin mccarthy. well, that didn't take long. let's have another investigation. >> that's all they want to do. you know, when the 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 a t 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 changingal 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 now got this $2 trillion $2 trillion bill 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's 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 areaz 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 timeme 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.ie hourly workers that are displaced, that have mortgages and rents and 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 this bill was already decided. the core part would help americans. they are going to a check

directly from the government if you make $99,000 or less. if you're unemployed, you know what you're going to get? you're going to get taken care of. $600 more per week from the federal government outside ofr what your state provides you, but 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 a loan, 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 spendesinou it on emplo, rent, utilities, it's no longer a loan. it's a grant. and to larger businesses over 500 employees, we secure loan but we give you a tax benefit. this is all for two months. get us through this time period, get this economy going where it wasth before, the strongest economy in the world. >> sean: thank you, congressman. appreciate your efforts here. when we come back, china is still not being honest. lindsey graham thing trade with china will change. they make a lot of our pharmaceuticals. all of that coming up. also, we'll check in, senator graham will join us, and dr. oz on the medical side of

100,200,000 americans. also explained without the mitigation efforts and the quarantine,nd the it could have been as high as 2.2 million. here now and how you can keep your family safe is the host of "the doctor on the show," dr. oz. 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 to .2? is that possible? is that the range you see? >> it could have deftly been 2.2 million. that is a worst-case scenario. i think the numbers we are hearing today are feasible. ideally, we will do better than that. i suspect a lot of people think 100,000, 150,000, a middle ballpark, i bet we could do even better. some of the social distancing -- i'm so proud of americans for taking this to heart and seriously separating themselves from each other. we can beat that 100,000 number.

but if we get in that range, as we get 2 to 3 times what a bad influenza epidemic takes with american lives, it's horrible, it's terrible when it happens, especially when it's an avalanche that comes to hospitals at once, but that'ss a number most of us would come in retrospect, be okay with, we consider the alternate was 1 million or 2 million lives. >> sean: i like you. i've read and read and read -- i'm not a doctor, not going to play one onon tv, but while we e working on a vaccine in record time, we don't sequence viruses as quickly as we do here, what was it, six weeks? but hydrochloric went along with azithromycin, maybes inc., has shown everywhere i read, tremendous opportunity to prevent death. i want to see more of that. novartis has said they will now produce and give americans 100 million doses.

approved for other purposes, but the vice president said he was pleased the fda to allow it to abe used by physicians, not get in the way, in other words. until we get the randomized clinicalom data, which i'm hopig we will have the next few months, we will not know for sure. sean, there are ar centers all over the world, in france and china, that are researching this as actively as we are in america. you are going to see more publications that we will find out if it works or not. >> sean: what w does the early data show? >> we probably have 100 candidates of reasonable solutions that could impact how you can block this virus before it gets into your nose. it gets in front of your nose most of the times, that's how it gets into you, or blocks of getting in the know was cells and lungs, or it stops the bad side effects, that cause pneumonia and inflammation any of those places, we can win come i'm confident. our problem short term, what do we do the next month? the peak in new york the next

two weeks? 10 to 30 days, look around and see we are actually coming down everywhere. social distancing is working. other tactics like masks, which were in the news a lot, will come to the forefront. we are looking for ways to live our lives and stay effectively distant from anybody else. >> sean: i making the case we are throwing out the old book on how tow deal with pandemics. i don't think travel ban will be considered controversial, or quarantines, orsi lifting fda of label use, or compassionate care, all right diffuse, i think telemedicine will become key. the present but the travel ban in effect, your mind, how many americans do you think were prevented from contracting the virus and maybe diane? >> it's hard to judge that retrospect most everybody who studies this agrees that was a good idea. at the time, a lot of us are uncomfortable. that's not what we do, right? we don't than other countries

from coming to our country. that effectively a slowed down o traveling of the virus, at least to our west coast room. china, similarly, bands -- >> but how dramatic -- >> it hit a lot harder. >> sean: wouldn't it have been exponentially worse? we've got to learn from this, and the world has to learn from this, so we can prevent death and prevent sickness. speak with there are macro things you can do, like stopping areas infected from traveling, in our country and between countries. and then there isst mike rowe things you can doth in your own personal life. i mean, i use masks as an example. we areat having a debate over whether masks work or not. obviously do because we use them in the hospital. we don't have enough of them, so you can use them at home because we need them in a hospital, but those debates are healthy. looking back and may be saying,

if i'm sick, put a mask and me or something, could be a bandanna, a cloth, how do i prevent myself from sneezing or coughing at my coworkers or friends or family? should i wear facial covering to allow me to stay safe? >> sean: i like the idea of seriously going forward -- we've known for years that handshaking is bad.. i'm into martial arts. i like the elbow. we can do lboing from now on. dr. oz, you've been a real hero, every minute of every day, i was talking to at two in the morning last night and you are accumulating data to help treat people. thank you for what you do come appreciate it. coming up, political side, some people usingpl covid-19, the pandemic, as an excuse to release prisoners. we will have a full report. than dan bongino and geraldo join us, straight ahead. ♪ ♪

♪ >> sean: most of americans have been unbelievable, all hands on deck, american corporations. but there are always those people who are using something like this to advance a political agenda. like, for example, using this outbreak of corona to release critin criminals back to the streets. here in new york state, dozens of inmates have been released, including convicted sex offenders. trace gallagher with the latest. >> authorities have said only low level offenders would be released, 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 says he was never notified about the

released, and he's concerned that the offenders are staying at a local holiday inn express. also, robbing a bank and resulting the death of an nypd detective on the list of inmates set to be released because of covid concerns. the d.a. says her office objected and they are no longer being considered. finally, we are learning that democrats and the house judiciary committee sent a letter to attorney general bill barr to release as many inmates as possible and modify current sentences. sean? >> sean: unbelievable. scary report. here with reaction, fox news contributor dan bongino, correspondent at large, geraldo rivera. what i love about you, geraldo, we have disagreements. i want our president and country to succeed, and you mean it, because i know you. how is it possible that, with all the president has done, rewriting the books on dealing with pandemics, we've never dealt with anything like this the way we are dealing with it,

didn't you see what happened in china earlier? why weren't you more pressing? >> sean: wait a minute, they were w the ones -- "the washington post" was saying, oh, you are a bunch of scaredy cats. they were saying that. all right, dan. >> sean, it's important to note the timeline, because facts matter and facts are really challenging for our liberal friends. they don't do that kind of thing often. january 15th, nancy pelosi was doing what? quick quiz for our liberal friends. that's right, she was celebrating. remember the pens, sean? the 7,600 pensnt she used, every singlmillimeter of her name wasi don't know if they are up on ebay now when the liberal hall of fame, but that's what nancy pelosi was doing january 15th, as the wuhan virus was raging throughout china -- >> sean:as wait a minute. >> and becoming a world health care problem. >> sean: i remember

nancy pelosi preparing to do her prepared rip of the president's state of union address. in that speech, the president was warning about corona. that was almost a month after the travel ban, when they just finish the t impeachment trial, geraldo. >> you know, it's absolutely true. everyone has to live with what they were thinking, whatt they were doing during that crucial phase in our lives. but sean, let's focus, if we can -- first of all, i send a shout out to my brother, chris cuomo. i hope you do well, brother. for all of us, these chilling estimates today, they got to me, 100,000 to 200,000, americans in the coming weeks, it's such an awesome blow. we all have to pull together. we have to feel -- >> sean: let me echo this. >> follow social distancing and wash our hands. >> sean: listen, chris cuomo is our colleague for a long time. chris is a great guy. like, wonderful person.

by the way, my political differences with his brother and the fact he lacked total preparedness and screaming atwo the present, "i need 30,000" -- how about in some appreciation? that's politics. on a personal level, praying for chris, praying for his family. everyonene else that gets this. thank you both. we will continue. ♪
