fouci, a key member of the white house viral task force offered this dire prediction in the house oversight committee. >> we'll see more cases and things will get worse than they are right now. how much worse will get will depend on our ability to do two things to contain the influx of people coming from the outside and the ability to contain and mitigate within our own country. bottom line is going to get worse. >> was it a mistake that you believe to dismantle the office within the national security? >> i would not necessarily characterize it as a mistake, we work well with that office. it would be nice if that office was still there. >> new report points to critical testing materials as well as test kits themselves continues to hobble with the nation's efforts to deal with the virus a concern that the president did n not discuss tonight. local officials are no longer waiting for federal help to protect their jerresidents. >> new york state is going to take matters into its own hands. we are going to start contracting with private labs in the state to increase our testing capacity. remember again t

fauci was asked by the chairman of the house oversight committee about the coronavirus outbreak which as of right now has claimed 33 american lives and infected more than 1,000 individuals in the u.s. >> is the worst yet to come, dr. fauci? >> yes, it is. i can say we will see more cases and things will get worse than they are right now. bottom line, it's going to get worse. >> bottom line, it's going to get worse. the world health organization confirming today that this is a global pandemic. a crisis like this requires leaders who understand how to make government bureaucracies function. people who trust experts in medicine and science, credible sources of factual information, capabilities demonstrated by dr. fauci. and faculties that even the president's supporters at the conservative "national review" for today failing to pass metrics. dr. fauci's warning that things are going to get worse is a jarring contrast to what the president told the public just yesterday. >> we're doing a great job with it and it will go away, just stay calm, it will go away. >> just stay calm, it will go

joining me right now, house oversight committee member congressman ralph norman.sputing the fact that gavin newsom is concerned and wants to make sure people are properly tested before he has them waltz in california, but i find it interesting the hypocrisy, if you would, because suddenly borders are now important. >> yeah. and, trish, these liberals know no bounds. they'll criticize the president when he limits the airlines that come in from china and other countries, yet now they're quarantining passengers on a ship. he's been calling for open borders forever. and, you know, it's so hypocritical. and they'll ask for a bailout from the taxpayers around this country to pay for it. and they have no shame. it just, it continues to amaze me as i serve in congress how they can do one thing and say another. trish, no i mean, there's no consistency. the hypocrisy is constant, but it's so self-motivated, right? it's so driven by, you know, what works for them. and for whatever reason, they don't see the threat of illegals as an actual threat. but i have a practical quest

the administration on coronavirus, which is why he was called to testify in front of the house oversight committee. and fauci struck a positive note when he answered a question about how many americans might be affected. >> i can't give you a realistic number until we put into the factor of how we respond. if we are complacent and don't do really aggressive containment and mitigation, the number could go way up and be involved in many, many millions. >> stephen: to be clear, he's not saying millions will die, just that millions might get it. so turn that frown upside down, then don't touch your frown. it's on your face! massachusetts representative stephen lynch took fauci and c.d.c. director redfield to task over not standing up to the president's lies. >> the president, on march 6, told the people in my district publicly that the tests were ready. there were no tests. zero, zero. he said this in front of some of you at a public hearing, at a press conference. and i saw no one step up and say, "no, the president wasn't correct." we need you to step up. we really need honesty here. and when the pr

>> for the second straight day, medical experts briefed the house oversight committee on the latest developmentsenate canceled next week's planned recess in order to work on legislation to deal with the financial strain from the virus. let's start with the testing issue here. we have a doctor saying essentially that the u.s. is failing when it comes to testing. talk about the implications of that. how difficult is it to slow the spread of this virus when you don't really know who has it? >> i think what's important to understand, and everyone is talking about this, is that we're trying to flatten the curve. what does that mean? we're trying to slow down the spread of the virus before we can actually stop it. the only way to do that is by finding out who's positive, putting them in quarantine, and tracing back all the people they have been exposed to and getting them under quarantine. in order to do that, we need to be able to test people. and what's very frustrating as a medical professional is that we don't have the abilities to be able to test the amount of people that we really want to. and t

. >> house oversight committee held a hearing today on the federal response to coronavirus where dr. anthony fauchi delivered a serious warning that the worst of the pandemic is yet to come. the testimony however was cut short ending an hour and a half earlier than planned because president trump summons the witnessed to an emergency meeting at the white house. one of the members of the committee denied the opportunity to question the top health officials is katy porter of california who joins me now. first, let me start do you have a clear understanding of what happened this morning and why that oversight committee hearing was cut short? >> we were simply told there was a meeting they were required to attend at the white house. we understand the witnesses will be present again tomorrow. i believe at 11:00 for the hearing to continue and i look forward to question them and press them on administration's response at that time. >> you articulated two concerns. one has to do with what we were just talking about, cost. in a letter that you wrote to alex aczar among others, it is critical

happened at the house oversight committee. congressman, thanks for being with us. how do you reconcile what dr. fauci told your committee today with what you have seen and heard from the administration so far, and particularly the president, who says, you know, i think he said it was 15 cases that, you know, may soon end, two weeks ago. and you know, late yesterday, it was this is all just going to go away. >> well, i think that dr. fauci was telling the truth. i think that the cases that we identify going forward are going to be more numerous than what we've seen so far. and so it is going to get worse before it becomes better. and i think that does run contrary to some of the programming, if you will, or the spin that the president seems to put on what's happening right now. i think i saw a quote that he said everything's going extremely well. well, as you can tell, most of the public does not think so. and it's having ripples in the economy, not to mention, obviously, the health impact on so many communities across the country now. >> also, i mean, just doctors t

joining me now is democratic congressman krishnamoorthi krish, a member of the house oversight committee. congressman, thank you for joining us. quite a day for you. >> yes, yes. >> let's talk about some of the points you guys covered in this morning's testimony. you asked the cdc's dr. robert redfield about the testing here in the united states versus other developed nations such as the uk and south korea. here's some of what he said and i would like you to react on the other side. >> i think one thing i would like to point out again, the cdc developed this system for the united states public health system. we did not develop this test for all of clinical medicine. the test for clinical medicine, we count on the private sector to work together to the fda to bring those tests to bear. >> in a way he's kind of passing the buck there to the private sector as well, wanting to share the blame, i guess, with the private sector? >> yes, basically just to kind of level set where everybody is in terms of the understanding of what other countries are doing versus us, you know, south korea interes

anthony fauci of th the nih was asked about that in the house oversight committee today. here is his answer. >> the system is not really geared to what we need right now. what you are asking for. that is a failing. >> a failing, yes. >> it is a failing. the idea of anybody getting it easily, the way people in other country are doing it, we're not set up for that do i think we should be? yes. but we are not. >> john: as far as the travel restrictions on europe go, the president said it could last longer than 30 days. it could also be less than 30 days. it all depends on the situation on the ground there. and asked again about the upcoming summer olympics in tokyo, the president today for the first "time" suggested that delaying it for a year might be the prudent thing to do if that's possible. trace? >> trace: it's a very fluid situation. john roberts live for us on the north lawn. a new study suggests that the coronavirus can remain active in the air for several hours and linger on some surfaces for up to three days. all this as georgia confirms its first death from covid

. >>> during a house oversight committee on the coronavirus today, california congresswoman katie porter dr. robert redfield on individual costs for coronavirus testing before extracting a commitment to cover the costs. >> when asked for a response yesterday, the deadline and the time has passed. will you commit to invoking your existing authority under 42 c to provide for coronavirus testing for every american regardless of insurance coverage? >> what i was trying to say is that cdc is working hhs now to see how we operationalize that. >> you don't need to do any work the operationalize. you need to make a commitment to the american people so they come in to get tested. you can operationalize the payment structure tomorrow. >> i think you're an excellent questioner. my answer is yes. >> everybody in america, hear that. you are eligible to go get tested for coronavirus and have that covered regardless of insurance. >> and joining me now, congresswoman katie porter of california who we just showed you. thank you for joining us. practically speaking, because of this commitment, if they go

where mark left off with republican congressman from tennessee mark green, member of the house oversight committeemeland security committee, former army ranger and e.r. doctor. good to see you, sir, as always. you voted no, why? >> they got us a bill about 15 minutes before we passed it, and now we realize there's tons of questions and problems, so they're going to have to vote again this week and make some changes. so i just don't agree with the principle of dropping a 100-page bill and voting on it when the members can't even read the bill. leland: the argument on the other side would be desperate times call for desperate measures. >> yeah, but the senate isn't even in til monday. so we passed a bill after midnight with a full 24-48 hours before the senate even looks at the bill? we had plenty of time to wait. lee the bill talks about sick time, talks about testing, talks about providing food and financial assistance to low income and underprivileged kids. all three of those things are probably going to become law, right this. >> well, yes. all that's going to be passed. the senate's going to pa

fauci this question that elicited that response yesterday in the house oversight committee. the answer is, i don't know. we've not been able to get a straight answer. they do keep telling us that there are mechanisms in place to ramp up to where we can have thousands, you know, tens of thousands of tests available. there's a concern over how quickly they can process those tests. you know, in my state, we have a very limited ability to process the tests that have been actually given, so even if you do have that ability, your concern is are you going to be able to get the results? and then the mechanism nationally really is not in place yet to make sure that people can get a test. and the bottom line is, we have to make sure they can get a test for free, and it has to be analyzed as quickly as possible, and we have to make sure that we have consistency and certainty, which is certainly the last thing that's been coming from this white house. >> that's another question, of many questions where there's been conflicting information, often confusing information. can people who are

anthony fauci testifying before the house oversight committee. live here on c-span. doctor kadlec: domestically, even though some of their sources for finished product is from overseas like china. then the third thing is what can we do to basically use masks that haven't been used for the medical area. nonmedical m-95's could be used in that fashion. f.d.a. is basically certified through an emergency use authorization that m-95 respirators used in manufacturing and in mining and in construction could be used in health care settings. they are very similar but not the same but could be used that way. and the only thing that's keeping a lot of manufacturers from selling those masks to the broader health care population is because of liability provisions or lack of liability protections. there is the public readiness emergency preparedness act passed in 2005 that basically indemnifies manufacturers, distributors, and users of these mafpks -- pardon me of users of products defind as a device or covered counter measure. so i happen to be on the staff that did that legislat
