senator chris murphy, democrat of connecticut.ator, how confident are you that the administration, this coronavirus task force, that they have their arms around this problem? >> well, i think the administration was very, very late to understand the significance of this epidemic back in early february, the administration came to brief us and in that meeting, several of that it's still a low level risk for americans. the risk is growing the threat is growing. the president can't get the facts straight. blaming the obama administration. suggestions that a vaccine is just around the corner. when we all know it won't arrive for a year and a half. that really makes it difficult for people to do their job. this was the danger of the trump presidency from the beginning. when there was a real crisis a national security crisis. or public health crisis the president's lies and inability to square with the truth was going to threaten the safety of americans and i do think we're at the moment. i hope he lets his scientists speak. and he takes

senator chris murphy of connecticut, listen. >> it'd be better if the president didn't make statements about the coronavirus. it would be better if he remained silent and he let medical experts carry the message. >> i mean, just think about that. it would be better, he said, if the president remained silent. the reason he said because his misinformation might overshadow the truth. his own medical and health experts are trying to get out there. his own coronavirus task force. you might think look, that's absurd or that's just political, but then you have to start to listen to what the president has actually been saying day after day. just last night on fox news, less than an hour after senator murphy's remarks, this is him talking to sean hannity. and he took estimate with the latest estimate from the w.h.or health organization of how deadly the virus might be. listen. >> i think 3.4% is really a false number. now this is just my hunch. but based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this, because a lot of people will have this, and it's very mild. they'll get better ve

joining us now, democratic senator chris murphy of connecticut.s so much for being on this morning. what will this package be able to do? bottom line is vaccines are months away, and there are localities that still can't test? >> yeah. we've got big problems, and those problems are caused by the fact that this administration didn't take this seriously enough back in early february. many of us were begging the administration to come to congress, ask for an emergency supplemental request understanding there was no way to avoid this epidemic hitting our shores and they stood back and said they had everything they needed. so we're a little behind the eight ball, but this is a significant amount of money. it's enough to get what we need down to local public health directors. that's really where the front lines are. it's fluff to speed a vaccine as quickly as possible. the real question is tests. why are we doing 500 tests in a place like the united states when a place like australia can do 1,000? it's going to be a while. a few weeks before we have the

everybody from -- very conservative senator, ted cruz, from texas, to the more liberal senator chris murphy from connecticut who are urging the administration to leverage the authorities that it has. there are two bills in the senate right now, both of them democratic, that would essentially compel the president to use the authorities that he has to compel companies and allocate resources. it's not fair to me that either of them will go anywhere. the senate is republican controlled. neither of these pieces of legislation as far as i know right now have any republican co-signers. and in order for it to pass, it would presumably need -- it would need a veto-proof majority because my assumption is the president would veto that. it's not clear to me that there is anywhere near that level of support for either of these pieces of legislation. that said, if things get worse, if lawmakers from the republican side of the aisle start receiving more pressure from their constituencies, why isn't the president using his authority, that might change. host: john in california. caller: good morning. thank
