the president announcing this new guidance from the cdc that urges you and all americans in hot spots to wear basically a type of cloth mask when you go out in public and there are going to be people around. they note this is not necessarily meaning you should use a medical grade mask which are supposed to be prioritized to front line workers. what does this mean for your requirements. this is not something that you have to do whether you're in a hot spot or not. this is in realtime, what we're seeing as the government and cdc and the experts try to take a look at what's working to figure out where the problems are and to give people voluntary guidance. it's just that. you don't have to do it under any law. there's already controversy as with so many other things that have been put out because of things that the president said. the president saying, going out of his way to say that he himself will not be following the voluntary guidelines. >> the cdc is advising the use

of non-medical cloth face covering as an additional voluntary public health measure. you don't have to do it. they suggest it for a period of time, but this is voluntary. i don't think i'm going to be doing it. the masks, it's going to be really voluntary thing. you can do it. you don't have to do it. i'm choosing not to do it but some people may want to do it and that's okay. it may be good. probably will. they are making a recommendation. it's only a recommendation. voluntary. >> that's the president. you can assess for yourself whether what he is saying meets the basic goal and purpose of this, yes, voluntary guidelines which is to encourage more people to wear the darn masks. take a look at what dr. fauci said also today. his strong endorsement of people wearing masks if they can. >> putting a mask on you're is

more to prevent you from infecting someone else. if everybody does that, we're each protecting each other because the data is it's more efficient to prevent transmitting to others than it is to prevent transmission to yourself. >> most americans are still under stay at home guidance or orders. people in nine states are still able to move around without operate under such a request. dr. fauci said there should be a national order. >> i don't understand why that's not happening. as you said, the tension between federal mandated versus states rights to do what they want is something i don't want to get into but if you look at what's going on, i don't understand why we're not doing that. we really should be.

>> that's a crisp statement of what he thinks would be medically prudent. the president said he will leave the decisions up to governors. there's now reports on the hot spots around the nation. in florida the number of cases jumping to over 10,000. st they just moved there to issue a stay at home order. the new york still the epicenter. the state recording its largest single increase yesterday. new york has over 100,000 confirmed cases. let's get into it with our experts. let's start there, doctor. how has it been going for you. what is your assessment of what we heard tonight from that white house briefing? >> so, for me, it's going very well. i'm very lucky to have been recovered from coronavirus and

now getting ready to go back and see patients. i have seen the courses in many of my friends not be as fortunate, be admitted to the hospital and even the icu. i can't say as much optimistic tone for the president of the united states and how he conducted himself in the briefing today. >> meaning? >> meaning that to give an advisory and contradict it immediately and say i'm not going to do it is not very good leader sh leadership. i've had coronavirus and i believe i recovered from it and immune and i walk around in new york city in mask to be an example of other people. i'm not at risk of getting it. i'm at risk of giving it and i'm wearing a mask. that should be the same for the president of the united states. >> do you think the president undermined what the cdc was trying to get out but he was leaning into part of the description that it's not required?

>> that's why it should be mandatory. the optionalty is what creates the gaps in the coverage and the opportunity for those who choose to not abide by best practices not to do it. it's technically voluntary and you have the option to not do it. that's not best practice as put forward by the surgeon general today of the united states. >> let me take the same question to dr. patel. we don't report only what different politicians say, we try to make sure we are keeping in line with the experts say. the doctor mentioned surgeon general on the screen. wear a mask when you're around other people. as of tonight. when we get new information, we put it out there. this is what the experts are saying. doctor, your view. >> dr. -- >> i'm sorry. >> the said part is this isn't new knowledge. the knowledge that other countries as well as potentially

having a policy on top of stay at home, hand washing, physical distancing does work. unfortunately, we haven't had effective leadership to do the basics as dr. fauci has mentioned. what i also see is a muzzling of the scientific and health experts that are in the cdc and who actually have seen this data over the decades. i'm very concerned about the mix messages and the fact we still have no clear articulate guidance and the country is confused. you still have state and governor who is are keeping business as usual or not even being clear about how to protect yourself and others from getting coronavirus. >> congresswoman. >> i don't know why people run for office if they're not prepared to make tough decisions. in this case we're not getting consistent leadership from the

president. he's denying the scientific evidence and he's been doing that right along and it's very dangerous. this president is dangerous to our health. millions of americans are going to be confused by this mixed message. when we put out the scientific evidence, our behavior has to be what they have recommended and we can't have leaders that aren't willing to do that and it's really tragic. this is very serious that the president is sending out mixed messages on something that will save lives and that's what this is all about. >> congresswoman, a follow up on that. you laid it out and that's what undercuts or undergirds the potential reticence the president shows. that somehow being the leader, who ushers in this era, is somehow concerning or distasteful to him. i can't predict. i don't know what the overall

blow back would be. you could imagine a world where people say great. let's do everything necessary. you can imagine a world where he associates bringing on the masks as a weird different or risky thing when put the politics aside, it's not risky to us. it's supposed to help us as a community. with that point you make, take a listen to something we put together which was more of this federal messaging on the masks. here it is. >> what the world health organization and cdc have reaffirmed in the last few days is they do not recommend the general public wear masks. wearing it improperly can increase your risk. >> when you're out and you can't maintain that six foot distance to wear some sort of facial covering. this is an addendum and addition to the physical separation. not as a substitute. >> don't get a false sense of security that mask is protecting

you exclusively from getting infected. >> if people wanted to wear them. they can. they can pretty much decide for themselves. >> congresswoman, do you think that is, as of this week, an acceptable level of messaging, consistency from the white house? >> it's not. we need clarity. once the scientists have given us the recommendation, we need to take that recommendation. not because it's perfect. they have taken the evidence and said this is an additional step we can take to save lives. it's not just to save us, it's to save other people's lives. we ought to be following very clear messages. we're not getting them out of the white house but i'll follow tony fauci any place. >> yeah, always bet on fauci.

for viewers watching this there's the white house briefing and then there's the distilled cdc and medical guidance. if we can provide that tonight, accurately, we hope to be in small way, assisting the cdc in that public service which is different, as we just documented from some of what we heard from the president. doctor, digging further into this, walk us through why something that was not necessarily the standard cdc guidance say three months ago or two months ago, is now and why from a medical perspective, people should say this is new, doints hai don't have to listen to it. the cdc in addition to distancing, wear masks if you're going around people. i may be older than you but i don't know if you remember the great fugees from the early '90s? >> i do. >> if you remember the score

which was contrary classic debut album, they had their song on there the mask. m to the a to the s to the k, put the mask on your face to make it to the next day. i can't help but think that is relevant. walk us through your analysis. >> i think a lot of what we're finding out about coronavirus is evolving. we didn't have information two months ago that we have now. the idea of masks is we were worried about taking it away from health care providers. we have had a shortage of ppe. don't take an n-95 or surgical mask but use a homemade one or cloth covering. we're learning more about this virus. more about its asymptomatic period and about the cultural change we need to see amongst our citizens. people aren't listening to advice. they are not staying home. they are not social distancing and maybe if they wear a mask,

they will act differently. playing a game of baseball in a field with masks on is very different than not. i think it's really good advice. >> let me go to dr. patel. final word from you and you can get involved in the fugees or not. that's your call. >> i love it. it's a reference i well know. there was a time we didn't think we needed to man date seat belts in cars. absolutely. as we go through this process, we'll learn more and more. i think that great leadership requires making tough decisions and being accountable for them. unfortunately, we have got our country suffering because of a lack of this account nability a the top. i hope your viewers will take the message stay home, stay safe. if you're going to go out, wear a mask. >> doctor, you really make a good point on the new guidance should not be any way undercounted because it's new. when they made the seat belt

rierm requirement or they added air bags, when doctors started washing their hands because initially they weren't using soap because that was a type of technology, if you go back far enough. we really have to keep our minds open because there are lives in the balance. i really appreciate both of our doctors and former congresswoman. the white house rewriting the purpose of the strategic national stockpile in realtime saying maybe it's not for the states regardless of demand. >> we have limited ppe, no ventilators and staff that have been here forever that are used to taking care of patients on the floor but not patients that need ventilators. we'll just see how it goes and we'll keep our fingers crossed and keep doing the best we can for the community. for the community.

president trump son-in-law jared kushner has been enlisted to help manage this pandemic response. kushner who has no background in medicine has the full confidence of president trump which whom he confers multiple times a day. trump expressing frustration with other leaders of agencies who have experience in these issues. cu kushner facing criticism for this statement yesterday about the strategic stockpile. >> it's supposed to be our stockpile. it's not suppose tods be state stockpiles they use. we are encouraging the states to make sure they are assessing the needs and getting data from their local situations and trying to fill it with the supplies we have given them. >> that is false. he didn't know what he was talking about. you can go to the public health emergency page that is part of

the trump administration federal oversight that states flatly when state local, tribal request assistance the stockpile ensure the right medicines and is up shines go to those and need them. trump administration trying to change the language on that website after it was pointed out by a journalist. that is upside down to make jared kushner look like he didn't make a boo boo at his big press conference appearance. an hhs official tells nbc they had been trying to update the website. washington post noting messaging inconsistency has been throughout the presidency. another one says it looks schizophrenic. let's get in with new york times writer michelle goldberg. michel

michelle, you have been writing this where you say quote, putting jared kushner in charge is utter madness. what is important for people to understand about the intersection of nepotism and incompetence in this particular moment? >> i think there's two things. the first is that jared kushner, obviously, has no medical background, has no disaster management background, has no background in anything relevant to this crisis and he has a history of being supremely over confident about things that he doesn't know. when you talk to people who -- i spoke to someone who wrote a book about the trump and kushner families and that was something that people said to her over and over again who had done deals with kushner and worked with him in real estate or when he owned the new york observer that he believes that he knows things that the experts don't. that he believes he can walk into any situation and master it no matter how wrong he might be

about that. we have put this person in charge of the existential rescue effort for the united states and this once in a lifetime crisis who has no experience and who has a history of honored over confidence and i think when you talk to experts they say that even if jared kushner were the most confident person in world, just putting an outside person into these structures that have people trained for their entire careers to know how to slot into these structures to manage crisis and bringing in outside people, not just jared but others is sure to gum up the works. s >> as you write, he is not there for any other reason than he married the president's daughter. it's chilling. i want to read one more part of your piece and go ahead. i want to get in because you

write here. within new york, which we have been covering, i think every one has seen the bodies and the freezer trucks full of dead bodies. this is real. you write that amidst that, governor cuomo said the state would need 30,000 ventilators when they hit the apex and kushner decided cuomo was wrong and he said i'm doing my own projections and i've gotten smarter about this. new york doesn't need the ventilators. you write that fauci and other experts agreed with the projections. what does it mean when he has his own projections. >> that was a quote from vanity fair that when the store came out, it almost seemed hard to believe that even jared kushner could be that arrogant but you saw him at the press conference say these governors aric making requests based on incorrect assumptions and he knows better. again, cuomo said we'll need

these ventilators at apex. fauci said he believers in cuomo'sestst estimates and you have donald trump and kushner saying we know better. people in new york are dying. it's been obvious for our three years that donald trump does not have the expertise to run the federal government. he's been slowly hallowing out many of the agencies that used to do the sort of boring executive wrork thork that keep safe and we don't know is there until something goes wrong. now we're really seeing the consequences. we have -- i've used this analogy before that it's like a game of jenga. for years they have been pulling out the pieces and pulling out the pieces. the structure still stands until it doesn't. >> doctor. >> i think back to the quote there about the strategic national stockpile. it's had a story career over 20

years in our country used by both democratic as well as republican administrations. a federal asset to support states and localities critical of medical material as well as medications going there in the event of a public health energy. if this is not for states and localities who are is it for. you're hearing governors democrat as well as republican saying we have exhausted our supplies. >> i'll let you continue but doctor, we are not in, at least in this broadcast, we're not debating the potential voracity of mr. kushner's boo boo. he doesn't know what he's talking about. he doesn't have federal disaster response history or tenure. he doesn't have medical tun yen. he has no expertise. when he says that it's misinformation.

the administration puts effort into doubling down on his mistake. take a listen. >> what did he mean by our and even the fact that taxpayers -- >> i got you. it's not a got you. >> it means united states of america. it's such a basic simple question and you try and make to sound it so bad. >> it's not bad. >> you ought to be ashamed of yourself. >> by the way, secretary -- >> it's such a simple question. he said our. our means for the country. our means for the states because the states are a part of the country. don't make it sound bad. >> you see there the reflex of defense of his family member which is why doctors don't operate on family members. is the country at a disservice if incompetence is harder to remove because the person in charge is related to the president. >> in these times we need steady

leadership in this crisis and i think what you're hearing is really conflicting and confusing messaging and we can't be second guessing governors on the front lines who exactly know what they need. i think this is really unfortunate. the statement is not helpful. we need to be laser focused on the response. laser focused on social distancing, testing and getting this material and personal protective equipment to the front lines. that's where the white house needs to be focusing on. the focus needs to be on saving lives. >> understood loud and clear. when we come back, we'll look at how small business owners have trying to deal with this looming recession and a loan program that many are concerned is not being executed effectively as they fight to keep from going out of business. >> our profit center, if you

in fact, economists are saying the unemployment rate has reachedreach ed 10%. that would put it on par with the worst month of the great recession. all this comes the same day small businesses can apply for a piece of that massive $350 loan program made available by the congressional package. most of the big banks warning a lack of guidance from the trump administration means they can't give out a lot of the key loans right now. these are hard times. we have been doing a lot on the health. digging into the business with you which does affect so many people's lives. what do we need know tonight? >> tonight we can start on these small business loans that became available today. there's been a lot of commotion

around it because small business, 30 million small bids we have in the united states and as part of the care act there's a $350 billion program of forgivable loans con tin gent upon keeping your employees. what we don't want to see happen is millions of americans go on unemployment while we see our beloved american businesses go under because we know they don't have more than two months of liquidity. today was the day the loan program started and it wasn't a surprise there were going to be some hiccups but it was extraordinary. all of the bank didn't get the language nithey needed until la night. when it was first crafted the idea is this was for all the businesses hardest hit. the rule was you need to have

lost 50% or more of your revenue based on where you were last year. gyms, nail salon, stores, shops. they changed it. i spoke to marco rubio today that that didn't include enough businesses. they said any small business with 500 people or less that is going to be economically impacted by the coronavirus. that's very vague. here is the problem with it being so vague. 500 people or less. you know who could end up in there, money managers, hedge funds, d.c. lobbying firms. there's a big risk you can see those who have professional tax consul tantss and lawyers because it's 350 billion. when it runs out, we don't know if there's anyone after. this is first come, first serve. there's a lot of risks it could get gamed. imagine if it didn't get to those businesses in need. there are businesses hurting.

they are filled with lawyers compliance departments. antimoney laundering rules, know your client rules are huge. they all want to help people. if banks are processing loans for people they know nothing about, they haven't done their due diligence on then the treasury isn't going to make them hole or two years from now when the regulators come in and say bank of america and chase, i'm going to need you to detail all these people that you extended these loans to. who were they? were their businesses real? these banks would get major fines. they could lose their licenses. the problem is secretary mnuchin while he may have the best of intentions but standing up there like oprah winfrey, you get a car. that is giving banks a tremendous amount of false hope when they are in state of panic. >> you get a car is way less exciting if in the end you don't get car. >> correct.

you get car isn't you're going to need to call your existing bank and then you'll need to show your payroll receipts and you can't spend the money on anything. it needs to go to x, y or z. right now transparency and security is everything. people are scared. their businesses is their livelihood. i ask you when secretary mnuchin says any business with 500 people or less call an fdic insured bank, do you not think that is an invitation for fraud. you'll see lots of businesses that haven't really been affected or don't need the money say sure. we're giving out free money. i'm on board. that's not the intention of this. >> you put it so clearly because this is where the tendency that comes from the top from the president on down to say anything and spin anything to sound better than it is rather than give people the precise

meals for some people that can't get out themselves. just spread the message about staying in the house and staying safe but mostly, using this time to stay inspired and not like bring yourself down because of the tough times. that's what my music is about, being inspirational, motivational. i feel like when times get tough, that's when the leaders come out, you know. >> uh-huh. yeah. a tough time and this is hard for the whole nation, the whole world or as we know, a tough experience, a tough neighborhood can test what people are made of. talk to us a little bit about that. music that is about adversity, about hustling as people put it. that always comes out of challenge. >> yeah, actually, i wrote one of my best albums during the recession of '08 when i did my president is black song. i saw it. i've been the type of person, if it's chaos, i'm the calmest person in the room and try to see to the other side and plan

it. it time to be forward thinkers. meaning the internet parties and people using social media to stay connected. that's part of what the culture does and that's what we need right now. we need to stick together and spread the information because we are the people and we the ones that got to survive this together. it's not an atlanta thing or california thing, it's a world thing. we all in this together. everybody counts. everyone's information or everyone's outlook counts at this point in time because this is real and i'm not even concerned about the virus as much -- pardon me, people are passing, but that's the war we got to fight. we still got to fight a battle at the end of this, getting our economy back. >> sure. >> we got to band together on both sides. >> definitely. you mentioned my president is black. that's where a lot of our vee er viewers will recall. that was a big political anthem before obama's election. >> i predicted that. >> you called it. new york times, jeezy quoted my

president is black, i got to ask you on national news friday night heading into the weekend, how it felt when -- i'm going to play it for everyone who forgot, the president himself gave you a little shoutout. let take a look. >> yeah. >> so i'm going to close with a quick preview of the secret agenda you can expect in a second obama administration. in my first term i sang al green. in my second term, i'm going with young jeezy. >> what did that mean to you? >> everything. coming from where i came from, my triabls and drills, my humbl beginnings and not only who he is but he did it and let me know at one of those dinners, that let me know heard my message for the obama campaign just as far

as getting people out to vote, using my voice and one thing that i respect tonight him other than being a president. he's always been a true leader from what i've seen and in times of crisis, he kept people together and never tried to divide people. that's what i loved about him. i felt honored, really. >> 100%. a lot of people are thinking about the contrast of the way he led to the president right now during this crisis. >> yeah, right. man, you know, for me, i've seen those type of people in my life, and trump is -- he's one of a kind, man, because it takes a different type of leader to make things about him and i just feel like a lot of times you see his ego and right now, it's about the people. to me, you know, he talking make america great, we going to make america greater than it's ever been with or without him. he has to understand. we are the people. you're one person and we get it but this is not about you right now. we all in this together.

you know, all of us. so, you know -- >> i hear that. >> yeah. >> i hear that 10 oc0%. whether that's nurses like your sister, people, atlanta, around the country, the people, the bigger thing. i got to fit in a break. so glad to end the week with you jeezy but i hope to meet you in person some day, sir. >> thank you for having me. keep preaching the word and keep these people safe. stay inside, baby. we going to beat this like everything else. love. >> thank you, congrats on the new music. fit in a quick break here on msnbc and one more special thing to end the week. msnbc and one more special thing to end the week.
