o'brien? well, what we know is robert o'brien did travel very recently over to europe meeting with his counterparts in paris. broke a little bit of news there. he's back. we're told he's working from home. the big question, of course, is the severity of the coronavirus disease in his body and how it's affected him. not clear as of yet the national security council has not issued much more information than the fact that the national security adviser himself has tested positive for coronavirus. so we're going to have to try to fill in the blanks at some future time, jim. back to you. >> in joe johns at the white house. we'll bring you more details as we have them again, confirming cnn reporting the national security adviser to the president tested positive for coronavirus. >>> we're joined now by infectious disease specialist dr. carlos del rio and the dean of medicine at baylor college of medicine. doctor torres, if i can begin with you, the significance of this reaching the highest levels of t

trump's national security adviser robert o'brien has tested positive for covid-19. the white house insists there is no risk to the commander in chief, but o'brien who recently returned from europe and was seen in photographs not wearing a mask or practicing any sort of distancing, o'brien is now the highest-ranking administration official to contract the virus, that we know of. hospitalizations in the u.s. have returned to the peak levels that the united states saw in april with nearly 4.3 million confirmed infections in this country and more than 147,000 deaths. you will recall five months ago president trump made this false claim about how good a job his administration was doing containing the virus. >> when you have 15 people and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done. >> that was five months ago yesterday, and clearly that is not what happened, mr. president. while the first large-scale vaccine trial started today, the u.s. is nowhere close to being out of the woods. the virus continuing to spread

national security adviser robert o'brien, now the most senior administration official, diagnosed with virus let's get more from peter alexander. >> reporter: president trump tonight for only the second time in public wearing a mask while touring a biotech center in north carolina, the visit intended to focus attention on the search for a potential vaccine, but it comes as his national security adviser robert o'brien is self-quarantining after testing positive for coronavirus. the highest ranking white house official yet to get the disease. the white house says o'brien has mild symptoms that he's now working from a secure location off site. the president today dismissing concerns about his own safety. >> i haven't seen him lately i heard he tested. yeah >> reporter: it's unclear how much contact president trump and o'brien have had in recent weeks, their last public appearance together was 17 days ago in florida. the white house in a statement insisting there is no risk of exposure to the president or the vice president. >> this is a very, very nasty, resilient virus. >> reporter: o'br

the president barely mentioned o'brien today. he didn't mention today's news from espn that 13 players and coaches from miami's marlins have also tested positive for the virus. or that the minnesota vikings control officer has also tested positive. the president also had nothing to say about google, giving employees the option to work from home until june of next year. or herman kaine, who attended the rally in tulsa, has been hospitalized for three weeks. nor did the president even mention that we, as a country, are about to endure the 150,000th covid death. none of these real-world items crossed the president's lips. for all we know, they never crossed his mind. instead, on a trip to north carolina, he repeated the same familiar lines that he has inhabits from the very beginning. >> the united states has conducted over 52 million texst. that's more than all of europe, put together, times two. nobody's even close. through our relentless efforts, we've completely rebuilt our stockpile, which the previous administration depleted a

o'brien and his daughter.t is a reminder that so much of this disease is transmitted in the house. it is true that daughters and sons transmit this disease to parents and grandparents and we shouldn't forget that. i don't know what the risk is to the president. i do know his repeated reliance on the number of times a day he is tested as a way of saying he is safe is not correct. that is not going to prevent him getting the disease. that will allow him to find a disease, the doctors to diagnose it sooner and maybe put him on a course of treatment the best we have right now but it doesn't help you to ward off the disease to be tested all the time and therefore i would say that if he is in unprotected contact with no mask with anybody who's tested positive, it's a grave concern. >> and, dr. reiner, what does it mean? you would think people who are going to be around the president and we don't know the last time the national security adviser saw the president but you heard jeremy reporting. he usually can see him

he has not seen robert o'brien lately. but he works out of an office in the west wing was last here on thursday and we're told by several sources that he abruptly left the office, it wasn't clear why. but what is stunning about all of this this morning is we were finding out about it around the same time that national security council staff was finding out about it. they said they did not know, several of them were not informed about their boss testing positive for covid-19 until the white house put out this statement to reporters, a statement that did not have a fame on it where they confirmed that he tested positive and that he had mild symptoms and was self-isolating and working have a secure location off site given how sensitive his job responsibilities could be, they say there is no risk to the president or vice president but do not say when they left met. and of course we just heard from several top officials were surprised that is how they found out that robert o'brien tested positive for coronavirus, not that he to

national security advisor robert o'brien said that the intelligence about the alleged russia plot was being taken so seriously that u.s. allies were alerted and that it could impact military tactics. how is that a hoax? >> as i mentioned yesterday, what happens when any intelligence comes in unverified, if there's any way that it could affect american troops or allies, it's immediately communicated on the ground to ensure that troops and commanders and generals can make the best decisions tactically speaking. that's the way it's done. what i would say is at the same time until there's a strategic decision for the president to make, until it's verified, it's not briefed up to the president of the united states. that's how intelligence works. >> reporter: is he angry or frustrated or upset about the fact that he was not in a loop on this from members of congress were briefed and u.s. allies were briefed. >> the president believes and has great faith in ambassador o'brien and others. this was a career cia officer with more than 30 years tenure who made the decision not to brief it up and

judge o'brien, why is it so important in your mind that she be defeated in the next electi election?> laura, good evening and thank you. it's important because at this point we are at a tipping stage where her policies are both corrupt and ineffective, and it seems like she's encouraging what we see on the streets, which is the blood of innocent children that's running down ann essentially the gangs and drugs controlling neighborhoods, neighborhoods that she says she's protecting. so the only thing that we can do is to say enough is enough, fire kim foxx. >> laura: this is what chicago police union president said on this show just a week ago. >> there is a lot a people that were arrested with those guns that were immediately leapt back out on the street again and it goes right back to kim foxx and the broken county jail system. i'm appealing directly to every voter in cook county in illinois right now. you have a chance this november to take kim foxx out of office and do something worthwhile. she needs to go. if we are going to get this city back away from the iceberg that the mayor

national security adviser robert o'brien now testing positive for covid-19.photos show him not wearing a mask in meetings with other international officials in europe. give me your reaction to that. how are leaders supposed to rally people to stay home, wear masks, take precautions, when we see images of them, the president or the nsa adviser robert o'brien having meetings and not wearing a mask? >> my reaction is there any greater national security threat right now than covid-19. and if he is the national security adviser, why isn't he leading by example? this is going to happen. i hope now the fact he's gotten the virus that it has come home, and it is real to him, now he'll -- he'll change his tune and start leading by example. we need our elected leaders at the top to lead by example and enough is enough here. we have been dealing with this for five months. this is another example of an elected official, an appointed official and position of privilege, not doing the right thing, and now paying the consequences of it. i hope he -- i hope he is healthy and

o'brien's experiencing only mild symptoms, and he's self-isolating at home.also say he didn't expose the president or the vice president. but mr. o'brien does join the ever growing list of officials and staffers in regular close contact with the president who have come down with the virus. and by this point, the white house's seemingly cavalier behavior toward protecting themselves from infection is less than surprising. i mean here was the president's top economic adviser on the white house lawn today, talking to reporters with his nose popping over the top of his mask. that's not how you mask. the mask sliding down the face of the president's economic adviser is perhaps a kind of a metaphor for the white house's approach to the economic free fall that the country is in right now because of the pandemic. tonight democratic leaders in congress sat down with the white house officials to open formal talks about the next coronavirus economic recovery bill. the details are being worked out, but what is becoming clear is that the new republican recovery bill does

in the the crime is kim foxx. >> laura: judge o'brien, thank you so much, thank you so much.p ahead why is big pharma taking on trump? senator josh hawley takes them all on, and you don't want to miss it >> laura: last week president trump sign for a great set of drug cases and is expected big pharma but they are fighting back. here is what the ceo of pfizer said on a earnings call today. >> i am disappointed. they post enormous destruction come at a time when the industry needs to be completely focused on developing a potential covid-19 vaccine or treatment, which can invest in both. in manufacturing with the united states. if finalized, the new executive orders would force us. >> laura: well, pfizer, of course everyone knows is an amazing american company, but his groveling about profits is absurd. hhs and the pentagon announced last week that it would pay pfizer interim and biotech partner $1.95 billion to produce 100 million doses of a covid-19 vaccine with the option to buy an additional 500 million doses so you do the math they are. so there is no reason u.s. citizens s

my guess is that he has charge robert o'brien to say, find out whether or not there is an evidentiaryis for this allegation. it is an incredibly important allegation. before you call a principal, i want to know, it wasn't something you read in the newspaper? is it an email? what is the source of this serious allegation about bounties? because if you are not armed with facts, if you are not armed with credible evidence, how is that conversation going to go? are you doing it? no, yes, we are not doing it. >> neil: do you think that this is a hoax? the president just said that this was a hoax. it does it sound a hoax? >> he and i do not use the word hoax in the same way. he's referring to another drive-by hit piece by "the new york times." i think he is referring to the source of this allegation. i do not think it all he considers the allegation that russia would be putting bounties on our men and women to be a hoax at all. i've never gotten that impression. >> neil: all right. trey gowdy, thank you very much. good catching up with you. we had a record on the nasdaq today. with these inc
