our first call from peter in new york. you are on with our guest. go ahead. caller: thank you. good morning. my, i have been watching you on "washington journal" for years now, and there are two points i would like to make. number one, i agree with you. i have read several books on the subject, and i think i know quite a bit about it, but the -- this hass that to be treated like climate change, where the media and academia and our politicians are all on board, educating the public on the dangers of borrowing, and until that happens, nothing is going to change. there is a lot of politicians and a lot of people in the media who seem to think the federal government is an endless pot of money. also, i'm confused because it used to be, if the government printed too much money, it created inflation. now, the federal reserve and ben bernanke said whatever treasury bonds they generate to give money to the federal government, they buy them, and they keep interest rates artificially low, and there are many economists who seem to think you could do this forever. host: let our guest respon

peter peter, chief white house correspondent for "the new york times." jerry seib, executive washington editor for the "wall street journal." peter, we'll begin with you. what domi these econumbers signal about the economy? peter: this is about bad a number as anybody could have homed for at this point. 11.7 million americans at this point are sking orn unemployment. that is about 50% higher than the peak of the 2008 financial crisis and this is really the beginning.ot we're anywhere near the peak that people expect. so manyusinesses are shutting doors, so many people are out of work. we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg. this suggests this is not going to be a short-term thing. the president would like it to be. come summer or fall, things will snap back into place maybe they will but that's not the way the congressional economists are looking a it. it's projected the unemployment will reach 1 and stay as high as 9% through 2021, which, of course, is after the presidential election that matters some to predent trump. robert: what does thisn all m for

joining us from new york is peter piths, co-founder of the center for medicine in the public interest. thank you for joining us. i know you're in new york. let's talk about testing right now. that's been the big headline every day. why has it been so hard to get enough tests? >> well, we should have gotten started sooner. we've done very well. we have some new tests that were approved on friday by the fda. that can get results in as little as five minutes. that's important, because we don't want people outside hospitals and clinics who think they're sick. you don't want those people getting each other sick. plus, the old test took sometimes a couple of days or even a week to get result. that's not good. these new tests can give you a diagnosis in five minutes to a doctor can prescribe the best treatment. the new tests are about the size of a toaster, so they can be in the doctor's office. you don't have to go to the hospital, go to your doctor's office and get a diagnosis. we still need more tests, but we're going in the right direction. >> it's definitely hard to meet the surge happe

peter baker of the "new york times" writes history doesn't agree with that assessment.p nor mr. kushner addressed why the president for weeks played down the virus, comparing it with the ordinary flu, predicting cases would miraculously go down to zero and suggesting the virus would disappear. people close to the white house say mr. kushner agreed with mr. trump early on that the democrats and the news media were hyping the virus, although mr. kushner's allies say he always took it seriously. i've struggled with four years now with how to calibrate and even organize and prioritize the lies, but there's something more than just the president lying again, which barely registered as a headline. it used to be the sort of thing that was a big political scandal. now it's just thursday, but it's the callousness and it's really hard to watch the party of life, the republican party, look the other way as donald trump and his white house staff and his political allies running states that are rushing to re-open sort of shrug their shoulders at the tragic, seismic, staggering, hear

across the country are facing an excruciating calculation, perhaps best summed up by "the new york times" peter baker. how many deaths would be acceptable to restore a shattered economy? you want to make that decision. complicating matters further is a whiplash of messaging from the white house on this and other questions. he contradicts the officials and then himself. he's pressing governors to reopen, urging states to liberate their economies, but then last night he criticizes georgia's governor for moving to reopen stores. >> i told the governor of georgia,kemp, that i disagree strongly with his decision to open certain facilities in violation of the phrase one -- >> on the very real question of whether there will be a resurgence of this virus in the fall, the cdc chief sounded the alarm in an interview with the "washington post" and then this happened. >> dr. robert redfield was totally misquoted in the media on a statement about the fall season and the virus. totally misquoted. >> you were accurately quoted, correct? >> i'm accurately quoted in the "washington post." >> might not come back

the implication to some people including some republicans likne peter of new york is that senator mcconnell would not usem federaey to help states and he's encouraging them to go bankrupt instead, speaking to a senior republican aide in the senatethey said, no, senator mcconnell just wants the option of bankruptcy for these states. he's not telling them what tohe do, bus concerned about the rising debt and, morph-overu , mcconnell says he wants to take a break before any more spending. not everyone agrees with that. >> woouff: lisa desjardins reportg today on everything from the capitol. thank you, lisa. >> you're welcome. >> woodruff: in the day's other time, but could not hold its ground. the dow jones industrial average gained just 39 points to close 23,515. the nasdaq fell a fraction, the s&p 500 slipped 1.5 points. at least seven people have died in severe storms rolli across south and uth central part of the country. reported tornadoes struck in texas, louisiana and oklahoma late wednesday, and the stont moved eao mississippi and alabama. a barrage of apparent twisters hit southern ok

and that was first reported by "the new york times," that memo dated january 29th. in it peter navarro warns of the potential economic damage and the potential for millions of american lives that could be lost because of the coronavirus crisis. and it really gets to the heart of the question swirling around the administration's response, why weren't there enough tests? why is that still an issue? why weren't there enough supplies? and why are hospitals and governors still saying they don't have enough supplies, despite the fact the administration has revved up its federal response. it is worth noting that according to "the times" -- and we haven't obtained that memo ourself yet, andrea, but according to "the new york times," that memo was essentially sent around to the national security council and reviewed by a number of top officials here. although it's not clear it was reviewed by the president, on the same day the president convened his first task force on the issue and just as the administration was really talking behind the scenes by enacting that travel ban. now, publicl

"the new york times'" peter baker. thanks to each of you. dr., what does it mean when the u.s. government withholds funding from the w.h.o. and what, as a reminder for everyone, does the w.h.o. do in coordinating these intergovernmental pandemic responses. >> w.h.o. has been a technical partner in this pandemic. let's step back and see what it does. there's a world economic forum study that says every month w.h.o. looks at about 7,000 reports of potential outbreaks and does about 300 investigations, keeping us protected at baseline from outbreaks. in this particular pandemic, w.h.o. helped set up the diagnostic capacity in a lot of o countries along with regional partners. they are the platform over which sovereign countries share data, technical expertise and they are our eyes on this pandemic. so if we hadn't learned the lesson before, this idea an outbreak anywhere is an outbreak everywhere by basically reducing the funding for w.h.o., we don't know what that translates to be and what they've said in the press conference today is basically cutting off the global response to

and joining me is peter cunning of new york. you're upset because the states pay the salaries of the first responders, firefighters, ems workers, policemen, those on the front lines of trying to keep all of us safe. tell me about these comments. filing for bankruptcy as a means for states instead of getting money from the federal government. >> what he said was disgraceful. you're right. these are the cops, firefighters, health care workers, the ones in the front lines and the ones dying. we have more than the entire state of california and kentucky combined. we have 50,000 cases on long island. this is pushed our governments to the brink of bankruptcy, frankly. nassau county, 40% of the county's revenues come from sales tax. business is down. there is virtually no sales tax coming in. so for mitch mcconnell to look at this as a giveaway, it's not a giveaway when there is a tornado or flood or hurricane in kentucky or the states adjacent, we give the money because we know this is a national problem that has to be addressed. and

you've heard from some including representative peter king of new york. of course his state is going through this crisis, who really criticized mcconnell for this. it's something very political as well. the president wants this and it's going to be something heading into november, people trying to win elections and their states don't have enough money, garrett. >> i'll pick it up, leigh ann, garrett haake, thank you as well. this could very welcome up in just a few minutes because governor andrew cuomo is providing that daily briefing. let's listen. >> -- intubations is down again, and they have been down for a while. this is still not great news. number of new people coming into the hospital, number of new infections is slightly down, but that's basically a flat line, and that is troubling. about 1,200, 1,300 new infect n infections every day. number of lives lost, still heartbreaking news, 422. again, this is at an unimaginable level, and it's dropping somewhat, but it's still devastating news. the question we're watching now is, we hit the high point.

york. north america correspondent peter bowes says the president is keen on ramping up the us testing programmeore and governors around the country want more and, over the last couple of days, the president has come in for a lot of criticism from both republican and democratic governors that they simply do not have enough tests, specifically to move towards the first phase — as outlined by the president himself last week — the first phase of reopening their individual states and getting people out of their homes, and we have been hearing quite a different story from both the president and the vice president, and what some of the governors around the country are saying. well, we've just heard from the president, his response to that, saying in fact that many, many more tests are on the way, that more than 4 million americans have indeed been tested and also saying that the vice president, mike pence, will be speaking on a conference call on monday to those governors around the country. it remains to be seen whether they are satisfied with what the federal government is now saying about testing b

and peter baker chief white house correspondent for the "new york times." thank you for being with us. doctor, let me start with you. it is not every day we hear truly encouraging news coming out of dr. fauci's mouth. but we did today on the possibility of a potential treatment for this virus. rent disveer. tell us what it is, what it is apparently doing and what it could mean? >> there is a lot of drugs that we are trying to use on the virus and see how it affects the body. a lot of the people are getting the experimental treatments when they are hospitalized and very, very sick. this medicine affects how the virus replicates and it can shorten the duration a person is in the hospital. what we really need to know is that these are critically ill and hospitalized patients who are seeing a shorter duration of hospitalization. but it's still late in the course of disease. i think it is encouraging that anything can short ten course of hospitalization, there are real economic and human health care impacts for that. but i would say we are a far cry from declari
