william grace on, mitch katz, talk to some of the doctors at the front line taking hydroxyas a prophylactic and let's see what happens. i mean, we're working overtime, john. >> i got you. peter, you're also working on the supply chain issues getting supplies out to the states and hospitals and i want to talk to you about that to have that discussion. >> any time, john. >> thank you very much for your time. i appreciate it. als alisyn? >> fascinating interview. >>> let's bring in dr. sanjay gupta, also back with us is national political reporter for "axios" jonathan swan who has done the reporting peter peter navarro was commenting on. sanjay, i want to know what you heard from peter navarro. i heard him say they don't want to wait for the clinical trials. they want to get this into the bodies of patients and the hands are doctors right now. what was your impression? >> it's a total clash here, alisyn. understandably and i think john made this point very clearly, of course everybody would love for a therapeutic to get out there, and to work. i mean, you know, when i say everyone, i mean everyone on the planet wants this, something to work at some point. fact of the matter is,

that, you know, the grace that joe biden, with which joe biden has treated bernie sanders is going to go a long way with a good chunk of bernie sanders' supporters anyway. >> peterer, the president always viewed bernie as an ally even if bernie didn't act -- didn't want to be the president's ally but he sort of weirdly always used him. he tweeted this today, which i find interesting, because it is such a mixed messaging when it comes to bernie. here's trump. bernie sanders is out. thank you to elizabeth warren. if not for her bernie would have won almost every state on super tuesday. probably not true but that's okay. this ended just like the democrats and dnc wanted -- same as the crooked hillary fiasco. the bernie people should come to the republican party, trade. it is that last line that sort of has me laughing because every congressional republican campaign in the country wants to paint their democrats -- the democratic opponent as a bernie sanders socialist. donald trump wants bernie sanders and his supporters to come over to the republican party. bottom line is the president lost himself an important foil today, didn't he? >> reporter: he did. exactly. th

information and make it in peter deserve a lot of credit in this as well but i struggle to think that a different national security adviser, with affection steve hadley, won the grace, would have been able to align the pieces, such that all of these happened. , when the challenge came from the chief of staff of the army that we don't have the forces, it will break the army, i thought it was really striking, this is not recounted by the president but it's recounted by several other people in the interviews that the president wooden confronted with the chief of staff saying, i fear this will break the army. the president's rebuttal to that was, losing a war is what will break the army, which is exactly commander-in-chief stature. as connie rice said, george w. bush was a different president in 2016 he was in 2003. that comes through really powerfully for me in the interviews. let me close with something president bush did say in the interviews, which i think sums up really nicely why this worked as well as it did, which is that the military's job is to figure out how to win, the president's job is to decide if we want to win. that's what works in 2006.
