call today. comcast business. hi, everyone. it's 4:00 in the east. there's smoking gun evidence that while donald trump was telling americans coronavirus would miraculously disappear, at the very same time he was doing that he was being briefed by his intelligence agencies about the pandemic's lethal spread and the

threat it posed to american lives and our jobs. brand-new reporting in the washington post all but garen teens some sort of independent investigation in the future for this white house that has operationalized donald trump's disinformation campaign around the covid-19 pandemic. washington post reporting that u.s. intelligence agencies issued warnings about the novel coronavirus in more than a dozen classified briefings prepared for president trump in january and february. months during which how down played the report, traced the virus' spread around the globe. china was suppressing information about the contagion's transmissability and lethal toll. u.s. officials said it reflected a level of attention comparable to periods when analysts has been tracking active terrorism

threats overseas or other rapidly developing security issues. . the post adds this, one official said that by mid to late january the coronavirus was being mentioned more frequently either as one of the report's core articles or what is known as an executive update, almost certainly called to trump's attention orally. in case there's any doubt about trump did with the intelligence report, here's what he was saying publicly from late january to early march when the post reports the warnings became, quote, an persistent drum beat. >> we think we have it very well under control. very little problem in this country. five. we pretty much shut it down coming in from china. the virus that we're talking about, having to do, lot of people think it goes away in april with the heat. it's going to disappear. like a miracle. now the democrats are

politicizing the coronavirus. and this is their new hoax. no, i'm not concerned at all. no, i'm not. we've done a good job. it will go away. just stay calm. >> this report raises a question for the white house today. it's going to force them to confess to one of two things. only two choices -- either the president heard the intel and turned around and lied to the public. or, the president didn't believe the intel he heard. which has been the case on russia and others. the president was warned about the threats covid posed for our country and the failure is his. the new reporting is where we start today with one of the reporters who broke this story and two of our favorite friends. greg miller. also with us former assistant director at counterintelligence at the fbi frank figliuzzi and former senator claire mccaskill

is back. take me through the reporting. >> the thread of the story, in the president's daily brief, the most important intelligence briefing the community puts together for the chief executive each and every day, the coronavirus was being mentioned repeatedly, it came up at least a dozen times in january and february. in various forms. in some cases it was substantial articles describing the course of the virus, its spread into europe, the threat it posed politically and economically around the world and in other cases it was just a minor update or a mention because this was something that u.s. spy agencies were tracking very closely across this time. >> greg miller, there's some terms in the art in the reporting, anyone who followed the post reporting or the "the new york times" reporting after 9/11, this idea of an uptick, it was in the briefing at the same

source, imminent terrorist threat. can you tell us how severe this was, the myriad of issues that the intel briefs the president on. >> it increased in intensity over time. early on in january, the reporting was very fragmentary, it was basically -- it looked like something bad was happening in china, it looks like a viral outbreak, china is trying to suppress information about the severity of it. in the ensuing weeks, the reporting improved. they started to see more information, obviously then, they aren't the only ones but they see the spread and outbreaks in italy, spain and other countries. you know, i have to emphasize that these reports are just one channel of information that is coming to trump throughout this

period, of course, he also has entire agencies, cabinet secretaries and pandemic experts, epidemiologyists who also work for the u.s. government who are sending alarms with increasing intensity as we get closer and closer to march. >> that's a great point. if you can marry up the two pieces you and your colleagues have done some of that reporting the washington post and "the new york times" i think shared with reer readers some of the original source, this is the intel piece which is a very crystal clear picture of people inside trump's cabinet knowing full well what was about to come to our shores. >> yeah, i mean, i think that -- especially as you get deeper into february, and you start to see that evidence that this -- there's no way this is going to

be contained in sigh that, it hasn't been contained in italy, it's spilling across multiple borders. looking back at this period now it's critical. because it's increasingly obvious that february was a very important month where earlier intervention in the united states and in fact, earlier to get mobilized, to gather basic protective gear for hospitals and healthcare professionals to make sure that everybody is working on the development of a diagnostic test. trump was asked about what his administration accomplished in the month of february at a recent press conference and he really didn't have answer for that. >> it was a memorable moment. i know what moment you're talking about. it seems like twin scandals

within one piece of this reporting. one is the failure, they lost this really eight weeks they could have been buying the kind of equipment that could is saved the lives of doctors on the frontlines, and the other thing they were still s ushucking up china. here's a clip. >> you trust that we're going to know everything we need from china. >> i do. i have a great relationship with president xi. i just spoke to president xi last night and you know, we're working on the problem. the virus. it's -- it's a very tough situation. but i think he's going to handle it. if you can count on the reports coming out of china, that spread has gone down quite a bit. the infections seem to have gone down over the last two days. as opposed to getting larger,

it's gotten smaller. china seems to be making tremendous progress, their numbers are way down. >> at best it's either a misunderstanding or a tiny sliver of the picture the intelligence community had to have been painting for him on china. >> the hardest comments for the president to defend over the long run, i think that's where u.s. intelligence agencies, were ahead of the game and were warning very early, in early january in fact, that this was a disturbing development in china and china wasn't being forthcoming of what they were facing internally. to be fair, it took much longer for the u.s. intelligence agencies and u.s. health officials to understand the magnitude of the threat of this virus.

but they understood very early, the significance of the outbreak in china and that china wasn't being honest about the battle that it was contending with. >> frank figliuzzi, so much to unpack here in this extraordinary piece of reporting. i remember hearing from my own former intelligence community sources around the same time we were covering in impeachment, january/february, what had happened in wuhan not only could happen here but would happen here if we couldn't take the right steps. that was unclassified information. where does the white house think they have any leg to stand on in sort of shrugging their shoulders and saying, who knew? they knew. >> yeah, so the fact that you were hearing from former associates sources this same thing can you imagine the level

of detail that was being presented in the president's daily briefing? look, in my career i have signed off on those components that came from the fbi that made it to the pdb. it's a big deal. senior analysts are up all night drafting components for the brief. the dni signs off. by the time something gets to the president's desk, it has been vetted and gone over with a fine tooth comb and some of the most sensitive information there is. i don't understand the connection between the intelligence agencies and health reporting, i'm here to tell you it's some of the strongest and most confirmed information you can get. because it's coming from electronic sources, human sources on the ground, chinese officials are very worried about the spread. here's what we intercepted.

all of that getting presented. a president of the united states who's ignoring and not even reading on or one who's reading it and completely ignoring the reporting? >> frank, let's pull that thread a little bit. it was reported years ago that the president doesn't read his pdbs. jared kushner had his father in law to finagle a security clearance for him to work on mideast peace or whatever foreign policy he had. they either read it and didn't believe it or read it and lied anyway. >> right, so when all is said and done, you made the analogy to 9/11. i'm having some flashbacks now to 9/11. if you were in the intel community before 9/11 you knew

the chatter was there, everyone knew the chatter was there among al qaeda. something big was about to happen. there's too many people who know about this, by the time it gets to the pdb and when we do an action report, these pdbs don't disappear. right now, i'd be issuing a preservation order. i want them preserved for further study. an official statement came out, quote, detail of the article is not true, details of the article is not true. which details, it was 12 time in the pdb or 10 times in the pdbs? it's no-brainer for the president to come out and stop all of this discussion, time-out, i'm releasing the

unclassified parts of this pdb. i don't see that happening. the smartest thing they could do right now. absent that, the distrust of anything coming out of the white house is going to remain. >> claire mccaskill, the truth emerges. this will get out and i wonder what you think the appropriate role is for what frank just said, the house and senate intel committees? >> well, i think both of them are going to take a look at it. i think it's really important that the senate has remain bipartisan as it relates to intelligence reports. so i think that's a really big deal. you know, someone may have read this report, nicolle, but we know the president didn't. because he doesn't read them. so someone read it and someone told the president and he ignored it. and let's not forget, we had

americans imbedded in the w.h.o. they were there. american staff members. so, the white house knew. there will be an oversight committee that will expose this and eventually it all come out in the wash. >> you know, claire, i also want to ask you about this memo politico is reporting on, do not defend trump memo. i had to read it and stare at it. earlier this month, circulated a memo in responding to coronavirus. quote, don't defend trump. the trump campaign was furious. i mean, it's clear that this white house is no where near to flatten the curve in terms of the political problems they have caused themselves through this kind of -- this kind of ignoring

the intel, ignoring or not reading as you paused it the pdb. what do you make of the shifting landscape around this president and vice president? >> well, there's going to be a real conflict between trump and mcconnell. mcconnell is trying to hold on to the senate. just today, there was evidently a call where mcconnell encouraged republican senators to not get on board with more spending on infrastructure that the president is now talking about. i think that mcconnell is desperate to protect his members and it tells you a lot that political operatives are now putting in writing to not to defend trump. the georgia primary for the senate down there, you have a trump pact goi going up against

that's very troubling for mcconnell. you'll see this friction politically as the months go by and we get closer to november. so i think there's -- you know, these guys got busted for don't defend trump. trump went nuts. >> greg miller, i want to come back to you with one more piece on your intel reporting. i asked a question at some point about whether or not we would learn that there had been an intel failure. your story is the most definitive reporting on what was in the pdb but before this story hit last night, it wasn't known. susan rice tweeted at me, there's no intel failure, there's a leadership failure. how much pent-up frustration is there within the sort of former intelligence community? i know the same people still there don't express frustration. is this another in a long line

of conflicts between the president and the i.c.? there's a lot of grief that the relationship was so weaken and diminished, some combination of the two? >> i think it's a combination of those things. i think that the people, the officials that i talked to current and former u.s. intelligence officials, they've been us from trafrustrated for . they've lived with the fact that the president rarely listens to their work and often fails to act on the warnings they bring to him. i think in this case, because it's buit e it's -- because of the magnitude of the harm, there's a deep sense of dismay among current and former officials that feel like they did their job, they feel like they tried to bring accurate information to the

attention of senior policymakers and you had some who were listening like the deputy national security adviser who was very receptive to some of these warnings. but a lot of this information failed to register with the president. not only that, in the middle of this crisis, trump fired his acting director of national security. because they briefed members on the fact that russia was still actively interfering in american politics. so, i mean, the intelligence community has been smarting for a while and i think feels quite agrieved over how this crisis has unfolded. >> to your point, there are no winners, we all lose when a president's so inexplicably and

distrusts his intelligence community. greg miller, thank you for. when we come back -- we'll ask speaker nancy pelosi about those failed warnings and what washington can do about it. plus, leading by example, i'll ask her by vice president mike pence choosing to skip his mask in a visit to the mayo clinic and yesterday president trump said testing is going just fine, it's great. and later, gavin newsom on the steps he's taking to avoid the repeat of the crowded beaches in southern california from last weekend as the sunshine showed no sign of diminishing people's will of staying home. staying home you should be mad at forced camaraderie. and you should be mad at tech that makes things worse.

less than 24 hours after the house told its members to prepare to return to washington next week, it's reversing that decision not wanting to risk the safety of lawmakers and their staffs as the number of cases in the d.c. continues to rise. the senate, however, is still planning to come back next week. donald trump was quick to mock the house's decision saying democrats don't want to come back, they're quote, enjoying their vacation. joining me now is house speaker nancy pelosi. i'll let you respond to that quickly. >> yes, we had intended to come back next week that had been previously scheduled but once the capitol physician told us it wasn't proper for us to do that, not only in interests of the members, the staff of the actual legislative chamber, there was

no choice for us but to say we'll put this off and the senate -- the president can characterize it any way he wants. any of our members can tell you the last thing that she a break, it's intense communication and listening to our members, the koconstituent constituents. healthcare providers, workers in every field, as to what the impact is so that their intelligence can have an impact on the legislation that we write, that's current with information in realtime. something that perhaps the administration is not used to doing. >> so, as i understand, you're listening to advice from the physicians you consulted theoretically the senate received the same advice, do you think they're defying that advice? >> i don't know what the physician told them. we're a much larger body.

we're presently 430 members. they're a hundred. they do things by unanimous consent. we don't always have that kind of shall we say agreement to go forward. i'm not making any judgment about what they're doing. i'm just saying a large part of the decision as i understand from the report from the capitol physician's office was what was happening in the washington, d.c., area. montgomery county, prince george's county the concern is all of this will be on the rise in the next week, so, again, i can't answer for what the senate -- how the senate takes the capitol physician's advice. i just know in our situation we had no choice but to take that advice and continue to work from home. also to try to be having some virtual hearings last week, maybe even some actual hearings with a few members showing up but not 430.

>> madam speaker, i want to ask you about the story, the pdb, the president's daily briefing, was sounding the alarms over the spread of covid in china and lethal danger that it posed to mention as early as january, were you aware of it at that time? >> no. i have over 25 years in the intelligence community. the president's daily briefing is just so very important to decisionmaking and the rest. so what you just heard begs the question -- what did the president know and when did he know it? in addition to which, the scientists tell him and when did they tell him? as a matter of fact, this president has provided over the worst disaster in our country's history.

and he did so by neglect of information, also denial and delay in accepting the facts. >> you were -- you were in very good company but you were one of the people clamoring for the release of the pdb when i worked in is the george w. bush white house before 9/11. i said, in the last block, was part of the communications department to declassify that pdb, what role will congress play in declass mying the president's pdb. >> nicolle, the president has made so many mistakes. we have to look forward and hope he won't continue to make mistakes. . this information is very valuable. it says to the american people, the president ignored this guidance, this advice, this information, this intelligence, so hopefully they may change

some behavior of him or those around him. it was dangerous, in fact deadly. let's go forward. as we prepare for the future. i don't know that this administration is on the basis of any guidance they had scientifically or intelligencewise preparing for if there's a vaccine that's develop do we have the capacity to produce it in our country, do we have the supply chain in place to have the ingredients? do we have the syringes? and do we have in place an ethical standard to fairly, fairly and equally distribute such a vaccine. there are things we need to be doing to meet the needs of

people that i fear may be lacking from the standpoint of the executive branch if they're ignoring the facts as they have done. let's go forward as i say. we're save review of the president's deadly behavior for an afteraction review. let's right now go forward. >> you have a track record of being able to get the president to sometimes inch your way, you leave a mark, he's so angry at you, i understand that he's not talking to you but is it worth picking up the phone and saying what you just said, we need to be able to create a vaccine, we need you mr. president, only you can activate the defense production act. and take this next step and say what you just said to me. is it worth taking a move like that? i know he carries a lot of the

blame for the actry monthny in the relationship? >> let me -- excuse me, i'm sorry. let me say the word worth. will it change his behavior? what he said about infrastructure and then he changed his mind. what he said about guns and changed his mind. again, time is the most finite quantity that we all have. my time i think is better spent speaking to the president in a public forum, that's something that he pays attention to, we certainly have our communication with the administration in the hopes that we can work in a bipartisan way as we have done already with four bills to address the coronavirus. four bills. all bipartisan. i'm very proud of that.

overwhelming bipartisan and we'll continue to continue to do that. but it's -- his not speaking to me. he kind of stopped talking to me when i became speaker. a person of tremendous power, that wasn't interesting to him. without going into the psychology of what's worth doing as far as the president is concerned, i think it's worth for him to listen to the scientists. i think it's worth it for him to listen to the intelligence community and some people in his own administration who i think want to do the right thing but i bear no responsibility for his lack of listening to other people and i do -- do my best to try to be as bipartisan as possible in my actions as we try to be respective of other

people's views. four bills, all bipartisan, all overwhelming. we have a problem with the president. i don't know why some republicans in the country, you know many of them well, are not just speaking out and saying this is not the republican party. the republican party is a grand old party. i say to my republican friends and i do have some, take yoback your party. that has contributed so much to the success of america and yet we have people being silent. >> such a good point that -- as you're talking i'm trying to figure out what john boehner's response would have been. about injecting bleach. i mean, you're right. it's trump. he's the problem. more likely to see you on tv than if you went down there. they're not wearing masks

anyways. just expand a little bit on this idea of a zombie gop. did they speak out in the same way that the state of washington spoke out? and the makers of lysol spoke out? where are the republican house members who don't want their kids or loved ones injecting bleach to clean their lungs. >> governor hogan is republican and he's spoken up. we had strong bipartisan support. democrats and republicans in support of state and local investments as we go forward in the next bill. support our heroes, healthcare providers. first responders, police, fire, emergency services, people, our teachers, our transit workers, our postal workers who deliver the medicine to many people in our country. our food providers.

the list goes on. rather talking about the president's injecting lysol into lungs and he made a big fuss about ice cream in my freezer. i guess that's better than having lysol in their lungs as he suggests. enough of him. we have to go bard. republicans will have to make their own decision. i can just imagine what john mccain would be saying now, that great american patriot who was treated disrespectfully by this president. enough about him. let's go forward. let's work in a bipartisan way. the chair, the president of the u.s. conference of mayors is a republican the chair of the national association of governors is a republican.

the chair of the president of the national association of state secretaries of state calling for them to lift their obstruction they put in their bill to vote by mail, these initiatives are bipartisan and that's what i rather dwell on than the unpsychable. >> speaker nancy pelosi, thank you for spending some time with us. thank you. >> it was wonderful to see you, nicolle. thank you. after the break, it's perhaps the key to reopening the country -- testing, testing testing and then some more testing. donald trump says we're doing great. but the facts don't sync up. we'll be back. i'm greg, i'm 68 years old.

i do motivational speaking in addition to the substitute teaching. i honestly feel that that's my calling-- to give back to younger people. i think most adults will start realizing

that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. i've been taking prevagen for about three years now. people say to me periodically, "man, you've got a memory like an elephant." it's really, really helped me tremendously. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

we want to get our country

open. and testing is not going to be a problem at all. in fact, it's going to be one of the great assets that we have. >> the testing is not going to be a problem at all. he said, again, last night, right before laying out a plan senate majinority leader chuck schumer said. leaving the federal government to provide, quote, strategic direction and technical assistance as they, quote supplier of last resort. that doesn't do much, though for the state leaders and health officials who have been clamoring for robust federal testing. to date, the u.s. has tested less than 2% of its population or about 5.59 million people. despite all that, the president this afternoon still unable to accept any responsibility for the lackluster response. >> today, the u.s. hit a grim

milestone of 1 million cases of the coronavirus. back in late february you predicted the number of cases would go down to zero, how do we get from your prediction of zero to 1 million? >> it will go down to zero ultimately. >> the time saying the number of cases would go up, community spread -- >> well, experts -- yeah, yeah. also, experts, many very good experts, very good people said this would never affect the united states. >> let's bring into our conversation emergency physician dr. leana wen. i don't want to dwell the whole time on denial. he said that it would go to zero. not go to million back to zero. this revisionism. >> i think we need to look at how we got to where we are. and been whoest about that. i mean, we keep on talking about lack of testing but really lack

of testing is how we got to the moment we're in now because at the very beginning if we had enough testing we could have identified each new positive case and traced all their contacts and actually had a chance of containing covid-19 before it became this big outbreak. but we had to containment to mitigation to do these social distancing. which is blunt instrument. the question is, can we just accept that that was probably the biggest misstep that the u.s. made all along not having enough testing. otherwise, we're going to continue to make the same mistake over and over again. either we reopen too soon and people die or we end up delaying reopening because we didn't have the test to begin with. >> let's get beyond -- we need tests, we don't have the tests,

what is the problem? a why not? >> yeah, there rees a lot of steps to be fair involved in getting the test. first of all, we have to talk about what type of tests we need, there's pcr that looks at the infection and the serology test to see if the person has the antibodies. all the things requires to process the test. but that doesn't mean that we don't need the tests. i'd love to hear the trump administration saying we really need million of tests per day, how are we going to get from where we are, hundreds of thousands to the millions that we actually need. >> dr. wen, can you imagine any scenario where companies, say, all right, come on in folks without testing? it seems like testing is the thing that donald trump needs to

get companies to do what he wants them to do, bring everyone back. >> we need the reassurance for the american people. first, we need to get the public health side straightened out. we need to understand what's the true rate of infection in the u.s. because if we don't know for every community we can't trust any of the numbers we're hearing. second of all, people need the personal reassurance, too, they need to know they can get tested if they have symptoms or if they don't have symptoms. for employer withes, for schools, we need to test individuals as they're coming back or else people won't have the confidence to go back to their normal everyday activities. >> dr. wen, everyone watches because of your medical expertise. how are you juggling a brand-new baby and being such an important

voice? how are you doing? how are you doing it all? any advice? >> i think we're all in the same boat right now, nicolle. i have a toddler and a new born and a husband who's also working from home, who runs a small business, having trouble getting money from the ppp. we're all in the same boat juggling all these different dimensions. it's just -- it's a new normal, also us setting new expectations for ourselves. but also for me, i know that, you know, this is a once in a generation, once in a lifetime pandemic, this is what i spent all my life working to fight and to help and so i think we're all working in our own way to assist others in the time. >> so important that your voice is out there. you just gave me goose bumps about the moment. you're a great example of grace

for all of us. thank you for spending time with us. after the break, images of crowded beaches in california inflaming tensions across that state. a conversation between brian williams and governor gavin newsom, we'll see a little bit of that next. bit of that next your mission:

up. just moments ago, brian williams spoke with the governor of california gavin newsom about just that. >> your plan is comprehensive. it's multifaceted for a state of 40 million which we all saw the picture of the orange countedy beaches this weekend. the world saw them. you registered your displeasure. talk about what you learned about human nature. it's human nature. but you've had to reteach human nature to stay away and stay in until it's safe. >> it's a wonderful question, bryan. look, i live in a state, where we talk in terms of it be.

and one size definitely does not fit all. the reality, at the end of the day is create a sense of commonwealth to connect people to a common cause bigger than themselves. but you're absolutely right. the one great attraction of the state, in 1850s said "go west, young man, go west!" is the natural bulty, 800-mile west coastline and some of the most magnificent beaches. after months of being at home, people felt, and i understand why, that it was time to test the possible. >> you're going to be testing the possible when they go back out. some of your counties match the definition we've heard from the president of wide-open spaces with small populations. the problem, as no one needs to

tell you, the virus doesn't respect county lines. it doesn't respect boundaries at all. >> no. nor does it respect state lines. and that's why we have these regional cooperatives. we just announced colorado and nevada joining oregon and washington and california to try to go together in a semblance of sharing best practices because of the jurisdictions. because of the economic and, ultimately, the nature of the virus and its spread and it knows no boundaries, no wall, no divide. so, we have to have a frame wrk that connects us to the common cause. and that's why there's deep pressure. many of our governors are facing across the country to create exceptions within our states but we have to do that as equally cautiously as we are more broadly across state jurisdictions. >> out east governor cuomo said

knowing what we know now about the initial cases and just how far back the coronavirus has been traced, he was wondering today where was the sound of the bugel, where were the various municipalities? what would you have done differently had you had an earlier heads up this was coming. >> we had as early as middle of january. we started working with the federal government, cdc, hhs early on in this process through repratriation flights. six from mainland china. california was one of the few, if only states to bring the flights back in. many didn't wanted the flights in their jurisdiction. and we worked on the cruise line, the princess. as a consequence t wasn't a surprise to us that the bay area counties in northern california

disproportionately impacted, both by repatriation of the flights and of passengers from the grand princess were the first to move with the stay-at-home orders. i'm not here to point fingers. i'm here to acknowledge we have to build partnerships and capacity. we still have a lot of work to do. but the state of california is early in this endeavor and the first state to do a stay-at-home order. >> it's clear the governors on the conference calls with trump and pence have learned the rules of the road. and that is to express gratitude and thanks to the administration. the president keeps contending the governors are happy as he puts it. are you happy with the federal government role in your life right now? >> look, we always can get more support. you can choose different paths in life. you can take account, take responsibility. and just compliment when it's
