so, as we are watching, this is a live scene in the rose garden.y have moved the briefing out of the briefing room and they're doing it in the rose garden. we are told unofficially that one of the reasons is there is more room in the rose garden in terms of keeping social distancing, trying to abide by it as they have done in the briefing room, but it's a more clustered room from my visits to the white house, i can attest to that. and it's good weather today in washington, d.c. they are doing it in the rose garden. we have gotten the two-minute warning. so we were waiting for them to come back. i think we straightened out the technical problems with ali velshi. >> well, that's a sign of our times, rev. we are doing this from homes. we have staff. we are trying to reduce our staff to an absolute minimum. they are in different places. once in a while a gremlin creeps into the system. but as you said, they are spacing it out a little bit more. they are trying to hold these things out. the number of reporters who are admitted is much smaller to maintai

you're looking at live pictures from the white house rose garden. the coronavirus task force is scheduled to begin fairly soon. we'll have coverage of that coming up. also today, it's been the deadliest day of the outbreak so far here in the united states. get this, at least 486 new deaths pushing the total to nearly 3,000 dead here in the united states. and the total number of cases to more than 158,000. the rising numbers and dire warnings from public health officials prompted president trump to extend social distancing guidelines until at least, at least april 30th, and back away from his earlier call to reopen the nation by easter sunday, april 12th, which he now says those goals were, in his word, aspirational. in new york city, that's the epicenter of the crisis in the u.s., the "usns comfort" arrived in port today where officials hope the floating hospital will relieve the burden on the city's health care system. let's go to cnn's nick watt, joining us with more on today's coronavirus developments. there have been some very dramatic developme

well, today's press conference in the rose garden was kind of seen as an opportunity for him to do a do-over of the oval office address that was widely seen and the market reacted to as a giant failure of leadership. so his aides came to him and said, let's try something else. so he was convinced to do this because the oval office address didn't have the impact that he expected it to. overall we've seen the president kind of moving slowly to a full realization that this is not just something that needs to be contained from the outside and to closing the borders, but there is something that is already inside of our country, and this was the first time he really addressed the situation, the health crisis that's going on within our borders. it has taken him a long time to get there, and he started from a place of kind of hoping it would just go away, wishful thinking that it would be gone by april. now he seems to understand that that is not the case. >> john, i'm not sure i'd call it full-throated and robust, but compared to what happened in the oval office the other day, it was quite

it will be in the rose garden. the latest numbers ahead of that as they come in to us when we come back. meet jim. for jim, comfort is king. which is why when it comes to his dentures only new poligrip cushion and comfort will do. the first and only formula with adaptagrip cushioning technology. choose new poligrip cushion and comfort. connell: we're moments from a task force briefing live live from rose garden. cheryl? reporter: we got an afternoon update, numbers are not good italy, passing 100,000 mark. 23 states in this country have over a thousand cases, 10 states over 4,000. up center is new york -- epicenter is new york. remember that is because more testing has been happening here. 66497 cases. one thing that governor cuom desay today -- cuomo did say today, the hospitals up and running. we're seeing a pattern of slowing. before we saw cases doubling every day. then cases were doubling every two days, then three, now case loads double every 6 days, but the testing has increased. first off, i want to hear fr

the president almost stunned everybody in the rose garden when he said yes, he will likely go ahead and get the coronavirus test. here is what he had to say. >> i can tell you -- >> reporter: doctors say you can have it without having symptoms. are you being selfish by not getting tested? >> i didn't say i wasn't going to be tested. >> reporter: will you be? >> yes, not for that reason, but because i think i will do it anyway. fairly soon, we're working on a schedule. >> reporter: one thing we should point out, despite the fact that the president has been downplaying this outbreak for several weeks now, saying that it will go away like a miracle, that the cases will go down to zero at one point, the president, when he was pressed by reporters whether or not he takes responsibility for what is happening right now in this country, he said he takes no responsibility. it was also a fairly staggering moment coming from this president. here is how he handled that question. >> yeah, no, i don't take responsibility at all, because we were given a, uh, a set of circumstances and we were given ru

in the meantime, wolf, theres one big stunning moment in the rose garden when the president was pressed on his interactions with a brazilian official last weekend at mar-a-lago. this brazilian official, the press secretary to president balan bo bolsonaro of brazil, tested positive for the coronavirus. and the president did concede now that he may well take that test. here's what he had to say. >> the doctor said you could have it even if you don't have symptoms. are you being selfish by not getting tested -- >> i didn't say i wasn't going to be tested. >> are you going to be? >> most likely. not for that reason, but i think i will do it anyway. fairly soon. we're working out a schedule. >> one of the other interesting moments that came during this press conference was when the president was asked about his own actions during this coronavirus crisis. he's been downplaying this disease for several weeks now, saying at one point that it would be a miracle it would go away at some point and the number of coronavirus cases would eventually get down to zero, so the president was pressed by an

second of all, the president now in the rose garden was talking about ramping up testi again. we again got into a little bit of an excnge where i put the request to the president why is the united states not on par rith other cou like south korea when it comes to per capita testing, meaning you'rete ing as many reidents as your country has. the president said that was threally not an importantng to be focused on when, in fact, there are at least some governors and some people with symptoms of the coronavirus who as it could be. not as but as i noted, the f.d.a. did approve a new tes that's going getting people results within five minutes. so the president is saying, in the future, we will have more tests and more people will able to have that. so that's what the president was saying today at the rose garden mostly. >> woodruff: but bottom line they are saying more tests arela ave, as we discussed earlier in the program, but there are a lot of complications around that. >> that's right, and little back andorth. the president had a number of c.e.o.s come up and talking about the

. >> the doctor speaking in the rose garden. you could probably call it a rose garden rally as the president's remarks spurred a massive rally. stocks up across the board and don't forget that midnight eastern time new travel restrictions which bar flights from a number of countries in europe to the u.s. takes effect. the white house believes that this will aid in slowing the number of coronavirus cases from people outside the u.s. many who are coming from hard hit areas, shannon. >> shannon: kevin, thanks for the update. it looks like a deal has finally come together. it looks like it will include free testing designed to directly benefit the american people. correspondent mark meredith is following the relief bill tonight. what do we know so far? >> lawmakers from both parties say they are eager to do something to address the covid-19 outbreak. we know there is one bill that does have some major bipartisan support. at some point the house is expected to vote on a bill to help americans and businesses instructionling with t-- s

donald trump made his declaration in a rose garden address. this marked the first time he had spoken at length about the virus as a domestic crisis and public health crisis. it marked a change in tone from an oval office speech he gave. >> i am officially declaring a national emergency. it will open up access of very importantly and a large amount of money. every state to set up emergency operation centers. >> wall street rallied, the down gaining nearly 2,000 points wiping out of most of yesterday's loss and house speaker pelosi said she reached a deal with the secretary to provide paid leave for workers, expand food aid and free testing for the ill. it does not have a payroll tax cut. trump sent out this message. i fully support families first response act and encourage all republicans to come together and vote yes. look forward to signing the final bill asap. the house leaders for both parties were in agreement about the personalitiance of the legislation. >> we could have passed the bill yesterday, our own bill which is a great bill. that

he was asked about that in the rose garden moments ago. he said he didn't wat tpanic people and that's why he was saying the virus would go away and be dealt with very soon. e president is also talking about testing today. said that the testing has wrapped up. he was in the rose garden with a test kit that is supposed to now have a result for coronavirus for up to five minutes. so the president is stressing the united states is doing as much as it can at this moment. >> woodruff: yamiche, we kow this morning in an interview he gave the president was qutioning the state's request for some merge material. what do we know about the federal government providing to the states what they are asking for? >> that's right, the relationship between president trump and the goveors have gotten better over time, but the president is still in a real contentious relationship when it comes to what states need. first, i want to y laund for people. this was president trump on thursday last week talking to sean hannity anduestioning opening whether or not gov

we begin with the president's address in the rose garden tod today. >> the power of the federal government today, i am officially declaring a national emergency. the action i am taking will open up access to up to $50 billion, half a million additional tests will be available early next week. we have been in discussions with pharmacies and retailers to make drive-through tests available. we want to make sure that those who needed tests can get a test very safely, quickly, and conveniently. the next eight weeks are critical. we can learn and we will turn a corner on this virus. >> martha: those are the measures that are being taken tonight as the number of cases here in the united states now over 1600. 137,000 cases worldwide. just shy of 70,000 people have already recovered from the virus. it impacts almost every aspect of everybody's life tonight. so how are we doing? how long is going to take? and how long can americans stay home? that's the big question. so the lockdown in italy may be starting to have an impact. singapore, more authoritarian route has actually been successful. so what

beautiful day in the rose garden. appreciate everybody being here.oday i would like to provide an update to the american people on several decisive new actions we're taking in our very vigilant effort to combat and ultimately defeat the coronavirus. we've been working very hard on this. we've made tremendous progress. when you compare what we've done to other areas of the world, it's pretty incredible. a lot of that had to do with the early designation and the closing of the borders. as you know, europe was just designated as the hot spot right now and we closed that border a while ago. so that was lucky through talent or through luck, call it whatever you want. but through a collective action, and shared sacrifice, national determination we'll overcome the threat of the virus. i also announced wednesday night following the advice of our medical professionals who were doing a tremendous job, and we appreciate it very much, that we're suspending the entry of foreign nationals who have been to europe in the the last 14 days from entering the united sta

we're expecting the president to come out any minute actually now into the rose garden of the white house and to make good on what he bungled there's no other word for it. just 48 hours ago in his address to the nation we do not expect him to roll 'd back the travel ban from europe but it's we expect him to declare a national. emergency or it coronavirus emergency why would he do this because he has been under tremendous tremendous pressure from all sides of the political spectrum from friends and foes 'd. for days now to take a action more severe action b. show leadership and see make funds available and with declaring a national emergency or coronavirus emergency he would make do exactly that make it possible to pump billions of dollars into the system into the states into the communities which are taking the brunt of what is to be expected a major crisis in development here in the united states. as in congress and also working coronavirus measures what's going on then. well correct nancy pelosi the speaker of the house just announced to talk to the press about an hour ago and said that

yesterday in a white house briefing in the rose garden,

could you imagine first of all, you being in the rose garden with the president of the united statesgreat things and it would be greeted in such a manner? it's crazy. >> yeah. i was just on another show a little bit ago and i heard jim acosta, standing ten feet from me back in the rose garden and i looked over at him and i'm just going you know, i go what kind of person are you and then i find out he said this about me, this terrible thing about me today and like i'm promoting my company. everybody knows my pillows. my employees are working diligently, they are working hard right now making masks to help people. i want to get this country back just like the president does, and we all do, just get people back. we got to get our health care [ inaudible ] soi i wa i want ty part. i think they're just upset because i did, i asked the president if i could say something off the and i said you know, everyone's at home right now and i said god's given us grace when this president was elected because we had turned our backs on god, we had turned our nation and turned our back and now use this

in the fragrant setting of the rose garden, he addressed what for many americans as the most frightenings of his presidency. i am officially declaring a national emergency. two very big words. he was asked about his controversial european travel ban and why it didn't include the uk, a decision that is clearly now under review. we are looking at it based on the new numbers that are coming out and we may have to include them in the list of countries that you could say ban or whatever it is during this period of time, but, yeah, their numbers have gone up fairly precipitously over the last 2a hours, so we may be adding that. his tone tonight was self—congratulatory, and there were still indications he doesn't quite get the magnitude. ok, i like that. of a crisis he has minimised for weeks. but in the suburbs of america, graphic reminder of where the superpower has fallen short, in testing for the virus. here in new rochelle, a hotspot on the outskirts of new they have opened up drive—through testing centres under the eye of the national guard. and tonight, the president was asked if he shou

the president announced this afternoon in the rose garden. >> to unleash the full power of the federalernment i'm officially declaring a national emergency. >> tucker: the president went on to design measures to check the spread of the virus and to help the country recover and certainly weather the economic disruption it's causing. the president's state of emergency declaration free's up $50 billion to battle the epidemic. most visits to nursing homes will be suspended. the president also announced a total freeze on interest payments on the nation's 1.5 trillion in federal student loans. no more payments for a while. he said the government will purchase billions of barrels of oil for the strategic petroleum reserve. we're going to fill it to the top, he said. then, in response to inadequate testing across the country something that's gotten quite a bit of attention he announced a new initiative to open drive-thru testing facilities. >> the goal is for individuals to be able to drive up and be swabbed without having to leave your car. >> tucker: we will have more on the problems with te

jon: we will continue on fox news channel our coverage of the president's rose garden ceremony news conference, i should say, talking about the white house response to the coronavirus. let's continue to listen. >> thank you very much. >> [inaudible]. thanks, mr. president. you have talked a lot about concerns about -- for so long. was there any dissent from your top economic advisors in your decision to leave the guidelines in place till the end of april >> no, and this is before we heard the 2.2 million people. i mean we had a lot of people who were saying maybe we shouldn't do anything, just ride it. they said ride it like a cowboy, just ride it right through. that's where the 2.2 million people come in. would have died, maybe. but it would have been 1.6 to 2.2. and that's not acceptable. but there were a lot of people that said i thought about it. i said maybe we should ride it through. you know, you always hear about the flu. i talk about it all the time. we had a bad flu season. we're in the midst of a bad flu season. you know, we had a bad season last year as an example, a bad flu season

that was president trump 'this message today at his coronavirus task force briefing in the rose garden. mentor spot spotlight the unique and increasingly necessary partnership between the federal government and private enterprise to combat the spread of the disease. >> everyone of us has a role to play in winning this war. every citizen, family, and business can make the difference in stopping the virus. >> a virus that has claimed more than 3,000 lives, hammering cities like new york and los angeles, while others like detroit and new orleans see an ever increasing tide of new cases, a tide that's already seen the number of confirmed and suspected deaths from covid-19 top 100 in at least six states. >> sending a lot of things to michigan because that's becoming a hotbed. especially a specific area, as you know, it's become very it's become -- i don't know, could even at some point supersede, but it's got to be taken care of. >> the president of posthumous comments, sp or grow among some that with so much attention being paid to large population centers, that smaller cities might get ov

he's the one who called those executives to the white house on friday last week for that rose garden announcement which was premature. >> but do we know what those executives are actually doing baurk because, let's take a step back. jared kushner doesn't have financial expertise or medical expertise or crisis expertise or risk management expertise. so he may know the phone numbers of all of those ceos and with the exception of google, they all showed up at the white house and said we're here to do a lot. what is actually happening because that presentation was well produced and got the president's desired outcome which was jacking the stock market, but here we are two days later in free-fall. what's happening in terms of the public/private partnership that jared is in charge of bringing together? >> the partnerships are in their infancy and there's a development process here with google to try to get that website going, although the president really oversold it and overpromised it in the rose garden friday and the administration's been scrambling to try to catch up with that promise.

last night's rose garden performance from this president -- and i know he views them that way so i thinkt's fair to call them performances -- was all things trump. there were moments where as dr. wen said it appeared he yielded to the advice of his scientists and medical professionals. i think everyone is happy about that. but there were also flashes of the trumpiest trump, getting into it with a cnn reporter, lashing out and cutting the microphone and really refusing to accept the premise of a shortage of supplies, which every governor is concerned about. talk about -- take me inside this trump white house at this moment. >> and nicole, to add one more trumpy thing, there was the suggestion although trump didn't clarify what he meant that perhaps local officials and hospitals had been hoarding ppe, the supplies that they so desperately been needing. now the president last night said that he made this decision to delay the goal liuidelines t the end of april on the data that had been presented but as with so many decisions president trump made, it was also about the personal and about th

president trump staged a pageant in the rose garden in an apparently successful attempt to pump up the stock market while he also lied about where things stand. nancy pelosi and house speaker hammered out a deal with treasury secretary steve mnuchin on a coronavirus aid package that includes free testing and paid emergency leave. this afternoon, the president paraded out to inform americans he quote takes no responsibility for the manifest documented, repeated failures in the federal government's slow response to deal with and prepare for the worst global pandemic in probably 100 years. >> dr. fauchi said earlier this week the lag in testing was , i fact a failing. do you take responsibility for that? >> no, i don't take responsibility at all because we were given a set of circumstances, and we were given rules, regulations and specifications from a different time. >> you said that you don't take responsibility but you did disband the white house pandemic office and officials that were working in that office left this administration abruptly. so what responsibility do you take to that
