president at his mar-a lago resort on saturday trump says he isn't concerned that he won't be tested. for the things president roderigo to turkey has announced the capital manila will go into lockdown for a month to stop corona virus spreading from sunday the city's $30000000.00 residents will be prohibited from leaving large gatherings are also banned 2 people have died from the virus in the philippines which has more than 50 confirmed cases . but there are concerns about how the government will implement these sweeping measures stimuli and again has more now from manila. much of the presentation of president will be good at their day and his cabinet late thursday night was focused on metro manila in manila and the greater metropolis they talked about community quarantine if a certain city in metro manila has 2 or more cases than the the city should itself . be under community quarantine but it remains to be seen how that is possible and what is the difference between a community quarantine and a lockdown school scam of all are also been postponed and canceled until april middle of a

and how he took that place and how it has resulted today. >> trump first heard about mar-a-lago from his driver he will go around asking people with chambermaid or secret service agents and also has a canvas of opinions. and i named them in the book. and asking what we thought about the early sentiments. and then i gave my opinion about the talmud and that he was enthralled by mar-a-lago at the bargain basement price at first he used it adds his home but then he decided to turn it into a club. and the employer florida who was jewish and said other clubs don't do that. his second wife was against turning it into a club she just wanted it for herself but he went ahead with it the one thing that she did say is that they should have a spa so he created trump spot at mar-a-lago. but as he says it's the closest thing to paradise you will ever get to. it is simply unbelievable to overlook on both sides and a half-mile wide at the widest point. and this culture is the richest place in the world and then to spend some time at charities and then to produce that much money one club member was m

senators graham and scott were both at mar-a-lago this weekend. they both reportedly interacted with that same brazilian delegation that interacted with president trump and vice-president pence. both senators are under quarantine. they at least take steps to try to protect themselves and anybody else who they might infect given they were exposed to the virus if they got it. it's quite a number of members of congress and members of the senate who have potentially been exposed and who have isolated themselves because of it. there's one senate staffer to maria cantwell who tested positive. senators announced they would close their d.c. offices even as mitch mcconnell announced the planned senate recess next week would be canceled and senate would stay in session. at last count, it's 30 u.s. states that have declared a state of emergency to try to speed state government response to the virus. schools across the great states of ohio and maryland and kentucky will all be closed. we learned that tonight. a large public school district in houston, texas,

senators lindsey graham and rick scott were both at mar-a-lago this weekend.hey both reportedly interacted with that same brazilian delegation that also interacted with president trump and vice president pence. both of these republican senators themselves are now under quarantine while they at least take steps to try to protect themselves and anybody else who they might infect given that they were exposed to the virus if in fact they got it. it's now actually quite a number of members of congress and members of the senate who have potentially been exposed and who have isolated themselves because of it. so far there's one senate staffer, a staffer to washington u.s. senator maria cantwell, who has tested positive and is reportedly symptomatic. a number of u.s. senators today announced they would close their d.c. offices even as mitch mcconnell, the senate majority leader, announced that the planned senate recess next week would be canceled and the senate would stay in session. at last count, it is 30 u.s. states that have declared a state of emergency to try to

the president of brazil was in mar-a-la mar-a-lago. he brought himself a make brazil great again hat. you see their arms pressed up against each other, big smiles from both of them. today that government official has been quarantined and is waiting for the results of a coronavirus test, according to local press in brazil. he is suspected of having the virus. again, that was him at mar-a-lago this past weekend, saturday, with the president of the united states. the president's new white house chief of staff is also under quarantine, as we speak. this republican congressman rode on air force i with the president on monday, as is this congressman who shook hands with the president on friday and met with him face to face. the president is in his 70s. that age puts him at particular risk for serious illness. if he himself actually contracted the coronavirus, the president does seem to have a lot of face-to-face contact with a lot of people who have been exposed to the virus in the past week or so. the eerie thing is that the physical person

trump at mar-a-lago last weekend appearing together in photos. president 2nd grisham said in a statement, both the president and vice president had almost no interactions with the individual who tested positive and do not require being tested at this time. >> let's put it this way, i'm not concerned report. the defendant defended his position to halt travel except for the uk. they gave officials a heads up. they did not do the same for other u.s. allies. >> we get along very well with the european leaders. we had to make a decision. i didn't want to take time. it takes a long time to make the individual calls. >> reporter: the travel ban did little to reassure the financial marks, which were plummeting as mr. trump was speaking. >> you have to remember the stockmarket as an example is still much higher than when i got here. >> reporter: former secretary advisory tom bossert tweeted there is little value to european travel restrictions, poor use of time and energy. we have nearly as much disease here in the u.s. as the countries in europe. ever a

trump was pictured standing next to a brazilian official visiting mar-a-lago who later tested positive for coronavirus. >> are you being selfish by not being tested >> i didn't say i wasn't going to be tested >> are you going to be >> most likely most likely. not for that reason but because i think i'll do it anyway. fairly soon. we're working on a schedule. >> reporter: nbc news has confirmed a second person that visited mar-a-lago last week tested positive. so far no response from the white house but mr. trump today said he has no symptoms also tonight house democrats said they reached a deal with the white house for more funding for those impacted lester >> all right kristen, thank you >>> as you mentioned, the president called on every hospital in the country to activate emergency plans but some experts warn the system may not be ready here is tom costello. >> reporter: on the front lines of a pandemic that promises to only get worse, america's hospitals are already straining. in hard-hit washington state, providence regional medical center everett has seen double digit cases of co

. >> we had dinner together in florida at mar-a-lago and with the entire delegation.'t know what the press say if he was there, he was there. we did nothing fairly unusual. we sat next to each other and had a great conversation. he's doing a terrific job in brazil. i guess he's being tested right now. >> any updates can you provide? >> the president remains unconcerned. rick scott of florida says he's going to self-quarantine after meeting with that brazilian official there at mar-a-lago. >> reporter: that's right brianna, the official statement now is that his press secretary has tested positive, he ice isolated himself in his home and his press secretary have and all of the team that went to the united states that went to mar-a-lago, their health is being monitored closely in the official statement, they did not mention whether or not to test but they say all necessarily measures to be taken to protect the brazilian president and the whole team that went with him. this of course is a big news in brazil where the virus has arrived here and only 70 confirmed cases. th

how many people do we have from mar-a-lago now? three? so you have some sort of cluster there. >> you have the press secretary, right? you have nester forester. >> yes. >> and then you have the mayor. >> that's right. and the mayor has now gone off back to miami that we know about. so people will get tested. likely, more people will get it. so you are not just talking about people, you are talking about facilities when they clean places and things like that. why mar-a-lago is still open from a public safety side is sort of questionable. i mean, i think if you were looking at it as any other hotel, if i told you there is a hotel down the street, oh, but the by the way, people were there four days ago and now three of them have coronavirus. do you want to have dinner there? you would be no way, right? i mean, if we were thinking rationally, this would be a place we would look at right now. >> the brazilian senator was there. the press secretary. this guy, nester forester. and i'm not sure if the mayor was there but the mayor shook hands wit

trump last weekend at mar-a-lago next to a man who has since tested positive for the virus. is the press secretary for brazil's president, who has also been given a test for covid-19. the white house insists mr. trump does not need one. >> let's put it this way, i'm not concerned. >> reporter: but president trump said he is considering declaring a national emergency under the stafford act, which would free up more federal resources. >> if i need to do something, i'll do it. >> reporter: the race to control the coronavirus led senate majority leader mitch mcconnell to cancel next week's recess as democratic lawmakers and the administration try to work out an emergency aid package. norah? >> o'donnell: weijia, thank you. we want to bring in dr. anthony fauci. he's the country's top expert on infectious diseases and has served as scientific adviser for every president since ronald reagan. dr. fauci, good to see you. thank you for joining us. >> good to be with you. >> o'donnell: i want to ask you about what you said today before congress, that our system is failing. how so? >>

these records show they're charging 600 to $450 a night at mar-a-lago and charging the secret service a month for a cottage they use to add security to the president in the summer, at least in 2017 and 2018. it's a lot of money that we don't have a full view into, but this is a lot of money for just the partial records that we've seen. and it is unprecedented. there's not another situation where a president is making money off his security following him places. >> yeah, and understanding it's not just hotel rooms. 590 nights and the charge is $6,628,000, that comes to one thousand 64 a night. included in your documents were bills from a couple of trump properties. right? we're looking at multiple locations, in the past when the secret service -- look, the company i work for, the company i'm sure you work for, they have deals, right? if you're using them all the time, your cost is lower. would in the past there have been some sort of deal that the u.s. government had or secret service had to not pay a premium but in fact get a lower rate? >> well, you know what's fascinating about your

talk about how donald trump came in mar-a-lago and his whole personality, how he took that place and how it resulted today. >> he first heard about it from his limousine driver, he will go around asking people opinions whether their chambermaids are secret service agents, he has advisors but he also has a wife but give him opinions, as well as 12 friends that he consults, i name them in the book, most are billionaires. but that's the way he works. and i was at mar-a-lago with h him, he asked me what i thought about is really settlement, i know as much about the middle east as he knows, but again my opinion, that's the way he operates, but he was thrilled by mayor lagmar-a-lago. at first to use as his home but then he turned into a club which was the idea of his lawyer in florida who is jewish and said you can let jews and blacks being, it can be profit making and sure enough now it's worth $700 million. and donald second wife was against turning it into a club, she wanted it for herself. but he went ahead with it. the one thing that she did, she said he should have baseball and so he

we are having dinner at mar-a-lago.e wanted to have dinner in florida if possible, the president of brazil. we will be doing that today. i think financial markets will bounce back. don't forget, they are down probably 10% or 11% from where they were, but they were up 70%. that is a relatively small piece. i don't like to see it happen because i was looking for 30,000 very soon. it seemed days away from 30,000 and now we have some more room to wake up. the majority of the cell country -- majority of the country is so strong. the consumer is generating so much because of the tax cuts, the regulation cuts. i think we are in great shape. this came unexpectedly and number of months ago. i heard about it in china. we made a good move. otherwise the head of the cdc said we would've had thousands of more problems if we did not shut it down. it was a very early shutdown, which is something we got right. he is left-wing. in many ways he is worse than bernie. look at what he did with guns. of guns.to in charge he has a lot of peop

president trump: i did hear something about that we had dinner together in florida at mar-a-lago with the entire delegation. i don't know -- the press say he was there. i don't know. we did nothing very unusual. we sat next to eh other far period of time. had a great conversation. he's doing a terrific job in brazil. and we'll find out what happens. i guess they're being tested right now. reporter: [inaudible] president trump: i'm not concerned. reporter: we heard from an emergency room physician in houston who was showing symptoms of something, tested negative for the flu, physician wanted to test the person for coronavirus, this doctor called it stupid trying to get through to public health agencies in texas, trying to get permission for this person to be tested. is there something you can do as the president to help? president trump: i was watching. they have a million tests out now. they'll have, over the next few days they'll have four million tesses out. frankly the testing has been going very smooth. if you go to the right agency, if you go to the right area you get the test. n

this is a second person who was down at mar-a-lago last weekend when the president was down there, who has tested positive for the coronavirus. but the trump campaign just put out a statement a short while ago saying that this person did not interact with the president, so they don't feel like inside the trump campaign that the president was put at added risk. it sounds, woufl, he will undergo that test anyway. >> let's wait for the results, hopefully all negative. jim acosta, thank you very much. >>> let's turn to all of the ways americans are feeling the pain of the coronavirus pandemic right now. cnn's knick wanick watt is join from california. it is getting globalized coast to coast. >> absolutely. the national guard is deployed and there will be 15 million in this country not in school, and many, many large employees, including our own, telling any workers who can now work from home. wolf, life as we knew it has changed. in new rochelle, new york, drive-through coronavirus testing center just opened. >> there are six lanes. this facility can do about 200 cars per day. >> reporter:

the president was posing with him at mar-a-lago. ron klain, what about that and the fact the president said he didn't shake hands, hasn't been shaking hands, he said that in the oval office but when he was in india, he was shaking hands and hunging with prime minister modi. although that was more than 14 days ago. so he would be beyond the worrying stage. >> it's not clear if he was exposed there. how he was exposed there. i worry less about the president, whether or not he's exposed or not. he's got the best doctors in the world, best medical care in the world. i worry more about people out there right now who heard their president say anyone who wants a test can get a test and can't get tested. people are calling their doctor's office and being told no tests available. people going to hospitals being told no tests available. the president will be taken care of if he gets the virus but there are a lot of people out there right now that can't even get tested to find out if they have it or not. >> stephanie, the dnc where you used to

and at mar-a-lago. with the entire delegation. and we'll find out what happens.uess they're being tested right now, right? >> whatever update you can provide. >> i'm not concerned. >> in addition to trump's personal testing failure, there is a much larger testing failure here as well. and drew griffin is outfront. >> reporter: from every part of the country cnn is being told that despite what's coming out of the house and out of the vice president's mouth this morning on cnn, what you're about to hear is just not true. >> there was some concern that the guidance that dr. s had had at the time was if you were only mildly symptom attic it did not indicate a test was appropriate. we changed that. that's when the president said that anyone who wanted a test could have one on a doctor's orders. there is no barrier to that now. >> not everyone who wants and even needs a covid-19 test is getting one even with a dr.'s others. in katie, texas, this stool team teach he shall happen home with flu-like symptoms. scherr doctor doesn't know what she has did you but she can't g

again, that was him at mar-a-lago this past weekend. saturday.the president of the united states. the president's new white house chief of staff is also under quarantine, as we speak. as is this republican congressman who rode on air force one with the president on monday. as is this republican congressman who shook hands with the president, wrong guy, doug collins is who we want, this republican congressman shook hands with the president on friday and met him face to face. the president is in his 70s. he's 73 years old. by virtue of that age, that puts him at political risk for serious illness. if he god forbid contracted the coronavirus. the president does seem to have had a lot of face to face contact with a lot of people who have been exposed to the virus, even just over the past week or so. it is one of the sort of erie things about this rapidly accelerating global pandemic, that the physical person of the president not just as a leader, but as a vulnerable person himself, and potentially a vector of transmission himself, is part of what we

president as mar a lago resort on saturday trump says he is not concerned and he won't be tested. meanwhile a top u.s. health official says the government is failing to account for what could be thousands of coronavirus infections because the testing system is not working and that if our team made the comments to members of congress the system does not is not really geared to what we need right now what you are asking for that is a failing and. it is a failing there let's admit it the fact is the way the system was set up is that the public health component that dr that dr redfield was talking about was a system where you put it out there in the public and the physician asks for it and you get it the i hear of anybody getting it easily the way people who know the country are doing it we're not sort of for that do i think we should be yes but we're not the rapid spread of the virus has caused cancellations and the perspire inventive sporting events around the world that includes all major sports in north america the league and spain and to the australian grand prix. the wife of can

the day the democratic gives the acceptance address, donald trump will call a press conference to mar-a-lago. he will dump mike pence and put nikki haley on the ticket. trump put pins in charge of the coronavirus. host: that is from paul. kevin jackson, as a supporter of the president, what do you think? guest: there have been many rumors about nikki haley being vice president in this next ticket. i think that she is an amazing lady. ambassador haley a few times. she is amazing. at one point, i theorized that might happen. i can tell you with certainty that he will not make that change. there is no need to. pence has done a great job even though i think most of america would say pence is no donald trump. haley would energize the ticket. she has bigger plans in the future. i predict she will run in 2024. what is interesting to me is that paul makes it appear as if the president has to use a magic wand to get the election. he does not. i can tell you this with certainty. black people are not overwhelmed that the potential and likely candidate will be joe biden. there is no celebration in the b
