turning to the state department's truly heroic to repatriate americans. t was super bowl sunday, february 2, when we all still had live sports on tv. that day to working arrange two flights to bring home americans from wuhan, china. our medical teams leaders wrote an email to his colleagues. want to read part of it to you. olleague wrote, quote, while the whole country enjoys the game in the comfort of a home or idea thatst have a no a small group heads into the singular focushe of bringing them out of a condition. we have given ourselves over to quote.rthy cause, end of that mission was completed, bringing home more than 800 people from wuhan and it was the beginning of the most important and unprecedented missions in the history of the state department. we have repatriated over 20 -- i think it's 26,000 27,000 u.s. citizens from more than 50 countries. team's heart our and character and commitment to excellence are truly amazing. et me give just a couple of examples. in butan, no easy place to get was critically ill from the virus, on a ventilator and f

the state department now telling americans do not travel abroad and the california governor warning thatan half of the state's population, 25.5 million people could be infected within eight weeks. dr. jennifer is joining us. what's your reaction to that warning from the california governor? >> well, i think it's also reflective of the nakt many places are trying to kind of game out what's going to happen. there's a lot of models out there. this is a worrisome scenario that we're confronted with. this is wholly contingent on our response. if we're able to stay home as many have directed, we could very well bend that curve a bit and stretch it out over time. >> dr. emmanuel is with us. is that what the governor of california is warning about. do you think that applies to the rest of the country as well? >> well, hot spot in california. that's for sure. i think if you take that number and say 5% of that number is going to need intensive care unit, you're over a million people needed intense iive care unityo un unit. 1% dies. that's a 10% increase in the entire national death rate in a count

cnn's kylie atwood joins me now from the state department.dvisory, but not a ban? >> yes, it's an advisory, it's the highest level that the u.s. state department can issue to americans concerning travel abroad. it is telling them do not travel. to give context, jake, this is generally the level reserved for countries where twl could be americans that could face life or death situations, places like afghanistan and syria. so putting the world on par with those countries due to coronavirus shows you how seriously the state department is taking the spread of coronavirus worldwide. and what they say in this travel advisory that just went out moments ago, is that any americans who are in countries where there's commercial travel for them to get back to the u.s., they should go ahead and get on those flights as soon as possible. and it warns that if americans do choose to travel abroad even though this advisory has gone out, they may face an indefinite amount of time that they're going to have to remain there. and now the question, of course, is fo

there's a far more complex process, the piece of it, the work that your state department did to get americansout of wuhan, not only our diplomates and people that work for the united states government, but civilians who work there as well is in the finest tradition of the diplomatic corps, it was done with excellence and vigor and brought americans home safely. i'm incredibly proud of the work that my team did that there. we have diplomates in china today and we're working to keep them safe, but keep them in place so we can continue to perform all the missions we need to help china deal with this virus where it began. >> okay, i appreciate that, but how do you reconcile what you just said with the budget you just submitted to us which cut state department funding for who by more than 50% and cuts the dcd's global health security budget by more than 40%. how can you reconcile that budget request with your said investment-- >> we'll have plenty of money. >> we'll have plenty of money. >> we'll have plenty. >> i'm confident. >> and 40% reductions in the budget is enough to address the potential

how the state department spend your money? what does the secretary do all day to advance america's interests and values? how did that guy get thejob ? i can't answer the last question but i'm going to tackle the first 2 with you all today and talk about honda president trump's leadership he's waiting for america onceagain .

i want to give a shout out to all of the state department team who are working overtime to help us push back against this pandemic. under the president's leadership we have taken two important steps. as president trump announced on wednesday, the united states and canada agreed to restrict all nonessential traffic across our borders the decision goes into effect at midnight. the restriction will be reviewed after 30 days and they exclude traffic and movement across the border for work other essential regions. we are grateful to have an outstanding friend to the north who is as committed as we are to defeating the virus. i also want to announce that the united states and mexico have agreed to restrict non-essential travel across our shared border. both of our countries know the importance of working together to limit the spread of the virus to ensure the commerce that supports our economy continues to keep flowing. united states is glad to have a friend working side by said -- side-by-side, secretary wolf. we will talk more about the details of how we are working alongside our partner in

on another note, yesterday the state department issued a level four global travel advisory. this means and that all international travel from u.s. citizens should be avoided. in countries where commercial departure options remain available, u.s. citizens who reside in the u.s. should arrange for immediate return to the united states, unless they are prepared to remain abroad for an extended time. if you choose to travel internationally, your plans may be severely disrupted. and finally, i want to talk about the disinformation people are seeing on twitter and around the world, some of it coming from governments, some from individuals. i urge everyone, if you see information, if you see information this came from the united states army, information about lockdowns taking place, every american and people around the world should ensure that where they turn for information is a reliable source and not a bad actor trying to create information that they know is wrong. this is a tough fight. the market people are tougher. our teams are working around the clock to help them keep safe

the state department was there. they had six staging areas. they worked with the cambodian government, which i appreciate, and they got those people home safely. i do have some questions that are pertinent to this hearing. with soleimani being eliminated, can you report in this setting, have you seen a weakening in iran's quds force or their proxies in syria, lebanon, or yemen or anywhere else? >> i prefer to answer that by saying that the cumulative effect of the actions that we have taken since this administration has come into office have reduced the capacity the islamic republic of iran to inflict terror around the world. no doubt about that. >> do you have a sense on the replacement, mr. kani? >> i'll simply saying that qasem soleimani was a unique leader in that the broader institution and array of the islamic republic of iran, he was a loud voice, a voice that had lots of people who were willing to rislisten t him. there is not a leader that is likely to be able to replace him completely, adequately, and fully. >> i think that is justif

it's not like the state department. the state department is, and i worry whether it can come back. wholesale losses, that hasn't been the case of intelligence so far. my worry i suppose still is, if you go into intelligence you pay a financial price, obviously anything you do in the government you pay a financial price. but you also pay a lifestyle price. who likes to be strapped up to a lie detector once every five years that does constrain your life, as one of my colleagues whose almost my age put it, i want to live my life like this. the cia once we live it like this. she's nearly my so you imagine a kid. i worry that people tempted by intelligence might do it if they thought their work was valued. but if you're worried if your work is going to be ignored or dismissed. that's what i've seen while recruiting overtime. i've not seen big signs of that yet but i do worry a lot about it. >> what is the relationship between state department and the dni and the secretary of state and the dni? >> the easy answer. the rest of the answer is hard. the rest -- the easy answer is one of the

increased its already dire travel warning for americans as the coronavirus pandemic worsens the state department has issued a new alert urging americans not to travel abroad under any circumstances but also says americans should arrange to return to the country immediately unless they plan to remain overseas previously they were told to court reconsider international travel. correspondent all of a salad joins us now from washington oliver have you ever seen anything like this with a travel warning before. well the only that certainly and i'm president to move at least on that scale and in modern american history we're talking about a so-called level 4 advisory that's the highest possible level at the state department can issue and that's normally issued for countries like syria yemen north korea or so countries of war or countries that don't hold any diplomatic relations to the united states so very rare move essentially the state department is putting the whole world now on the same level as war torn countries saying that a thought safe to travel anywhere that american citizens might end up str

is that where the state department functions? >> partly. we have great ngos who have been ahead of the curve, human rights watch, freedom house, they are the ones who came out with the first reports and analysis on the chinese power of these countries that identified what i have identified which is training generations of africans and others to toe the chinese communist party line and or to support dictatorships in their own countries so the national endowment for democracy has a role, freedom house has a role, state department has a role. if we can get -- the american people could get a real sort of network map of which chinese party organization, this level of transparency to see the scope. >> that is the broader issue we are dealing with with china including with regard to confucius institutes and programs we have heard a lot about. on the ngo issue you are very involved with the ngo community and civil society more broadly and the so-called fact checkers which i agree if we can support those organizations some of whom may not be precise

state department.tand that a couple of people who are in the state department in dc tested positive, correct? can you give us numbers. >> not accurate, secretary -- no secretary was asked this question yet at podium, he talked about a handful of cases in the world. it is a -- we're building a people many of our people are teleworking. david: can you say morgan that no state department officials in washington have tested positive. >> no, i am not here to confirm that, that i is up on secretaryf state. in our embassy in world, when someone tests positive they get that out to media, what is more important, look at how to help vulnerable americans get home, and actions that president trump is taking, state department and president trump and congress gave us a hundred million that we can use to help country in world stop the spread of covid-19 and deal with coronavirus. americans, american taxpayer continue to be most charitable people in the world. >> absolutely, meanwhile not all of our friends abroad, so

we have a vetting process at the state department. and we have regular oversight as well as reporting from each of these organizations, so we have a very robust effort to put in place to make sure that any implementers are staying within the scope of work and that they are properly spending taxpayer dollars. that's critical. >> thank you. i'm down to 30 seconds. i wanted to ask you in regard to this specific efforts of russia to spread the disinformation on the u.s. regarding the coronavirus that came out of aerolab, you mentioned there was a lot of messages being generated. how much are they now using people in buildings to treat and how much of those messages are being generated by bot nets? what are we seeing in terms of the patternf the technology they're employing? >> what we're seeing is an entire ecosystem. if you look at the spectrum of russian disinformation, it includes russian state-funded media, official accounts, proxy news sites that spin conspiracy theories under the guise of journalism, and then legions of false social

in the state department.erals. generals want fdr to go to yalta to negotiate for participation in the pacific war. the estimates are that if the war actually, if the battle starts on the main islands per se, the losses can get up to 57,000 of american soldiers. so they need allies. they need the soviet union there. nobody knows what the bomb is, whether it would work or not. whether it would blow up half of the united states or being something that can be delivered somewhere. it's a bigger unknown. you need a lot of imagination. a lot of imagination to think that the atom that you can't see and you can split it and it can create a major explosion. so from that point, what becomes obvious by the summer of 1945, by the time of potsdam is not obvious at all in february of 1945. you can -- you could be laughed at if you suggest something like that to the average person in 1945. that's okay. that's the thing you can see. but it can blow up half of the world. so this is two main points on fdr's agenda. another phot

at the state department chief conference, i spoke with the u.s. ambassador who represents us around the world. i shared on threat assessment on this information propaganda and listen to their perspective on how developments are playing out on the ground. we at the gec recognize the crucial role that our missions and officers play on the front lines of the information battleground. my teams are working with embassies overseas and with the department regional bureau daily to execute and corny activities. today i will outline how we view the disinformation of the kremlin and the chinese communist party are propagating. what were doing to counter each in the role that data and analytics play in our work. i will also describe the gec's role in court needed the government effort to respond to foreign propaganda in this information. i am also available to answer any questions about how the gec uses propaganda from terrorist organizations like isis as well as disinformation from the iranian regime. let's start with the kremlin. the intent scope and style

we're going to get an update at noon from the state department of health, and that's 37 deaths. we're a community of 40,000 people and we're a tight-knit community, so this is affecting everyone, really. >> residents so far in the state of louisiana have been told to stay at home until april 12th. is that long enough, in your view, or is that just a start? >> i don't think we're going to see the results of both the mayor's staple mandate and the governor's staple order probably for another week, so we're being very cautious about this and really, we're seeing that our residents are actually doing this. we've got some independent data that's showing about 73% less movement throughout the city. i'm obviously around through the city all day, and i'm seeing that it's pretty empty and it's encouraging that people are listening and we need them to really push through this. we know it's a very difficult thing to have to do, but it's very necessary to stop the spread of this virus. >> understood. some folks have looked to mardi gras there, of course, a big event in new orleans, as one re

and we have just decimated what is going on in the state department. of the first things i will do as president is i will bring up the state department up to full staff. we have to support our state department. [applause] i will just mention briefly, our economic tool. we need a strong economy here at home that does not just work for five giant banks, but an economy that builds from the grassroots up that puts us in a much stronger position to work around the world with the rest of the nations. also the importance of allies. you know, i know this is going to be tough, but we ought to know the difference between our friends and the people that do us harm and ought to treat our friends better than the people who do us harm. we don't need to cozy up to dictators, and i don't think we want to cut and run on our allies and abandon them. [cheers and applause] so much of that, working with our allies is going to go a long way. but when you think of what we are trying to accomplish internationally, the importance of working with our allies, is we also have to

the state department issued an advisory on this. i encourage producers of these to read those advisories. many of those company mace be located in the united states and they may be located in europe and they may be selling those to chinese companies who are reexporting home to iran. it's good to have good export controls around high-risk products. that is a high-risk product. i think it's important for terminal operators in ports across the globe to ensure they have sufficient compliance programs to ensure they're not taking or allowing the port to take sanctionable cargo from iran whether that's petrochemicals, refined petroleums, crude oil, metals or construction ferrell. any material that is sanctioned would potentially put them at jeopardy. and i think understanding your risk more broadly, it goes back to understanding what the rules are and what the laws are. your exposure to them. and the direction of u.s. foreign policy. we've graduated now from a mechanics mum economic pressure against iran to a super maximum economic pressur

and the state department have so farar to comment on the state report and about the reliable newse outlets that are seeking toi'm g expose this disinformation. i hope we have that conversation as this goes on.n. i am also bottom of important information that uncoveredhat about those who are spreadingct i the falsehoods, fr what purposes they seek, what effects it has already had. russian interference in the 2016 elections demonstrate the o dangers posed by this bett misinformation.they we now know that the russians and other countries are trying to get better and better and more sophisticated at what they areowin doing. a this is theirtt playbook, targeting democracies sowing discord through misinformation and attempting to weaken relationships between allies. there is no reason for us tot believe that they are not going to continue to employ this playbook, to get better at it,ve the coming elections and to seize any opportunities like the v coronavirus to undermine our safety and security and our very bonds here in the united america. while theected state departments not have the authorit

the first one was from state department. affront of mine there said bill, hypothetically i, would you be willing to go back out to ukraine as chris indicated. you know that i did this. but this was not clear at the time. but i wasn't hypothetically sure. the next day, same guy calls a. it's not hypothetical anymore. he says would you be willing to go out? i said i need some consulting, some checking. to see people that i know and could have some advice. one person i know is my wife. i checked with her and her advice was don't go. as i heard recently that there is a that there is a hashtag, and it is for wives whose husbands don't listen to them. and the hashtag is we are all mrs. taylor. i didn't realize this was a thing, but apparently it is, as i was told. so i also went to a mentor, and we will talk maybe about mentorship later on. well respected, i certainly respect him a lot, and he said look, if you are country asked you to do something you do it. if you can be effective. and that is an important caveat it is important
