7
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:04,559
reminded people of the importance of

8
00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:06,159
masks

9
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:08,000
when you can't socially distance in

10
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,280
particular

11
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,439
a strong message has been sent out to

12
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:13,840
young people to stop going to

13
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,640
crowded bars and other crowded places

14
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,000
yesterday we made the amazing

15
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,439

20
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,640

uh pfizer we made a big big beautiful

22
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,799
contract with pfizer we think they're

23
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:36,000
very close but we have

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,600
a lot of companies that are very close

25
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,479
to produce a vaccine and i wanted to

26
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:42,240
come out again today to share

27
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,439

and laid out

30
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,799
our plans for the convention in

31
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:52,560
jacksonville florida

00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,320
it's a place i love i love that state

33
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,560
the drawings look absolutely beautiful i

34
00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,920
never thought we could have something

35
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:00,399
look

36
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:04,399
so good so fast with everything going on

37
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:06,240
and everything was going well the

38
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,878
tremendous list of speakers

39
00:02:08,878 --> 00:02:12,319
thousands of people wanting to

40
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:14,319
be there and i mean in some cases

41
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:16,080
desperately be there

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,920
they wanted to attend people making

43
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,680
travel arrangements all over the country

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,520
they wanted to be there

45
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,080
the pageantry the signs the excitement

46
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,080
were really really

47
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,160
top of the line but i looked at my team

48
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,599
and i said

49
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:32,000
the timing for this event is not right

50
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,400
it's just not right with what's happened

51
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,760
recently the flare up in florida

52
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,599
to have a big convention it's not the

53
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:41,840
right time

54
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,920
it's really something that for me

55
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:48,319
i have to protect the american people

56
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:50,160
that's what i've always done that's what

57
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,280
i always

58
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,400
will do that's what i'm about they said

59
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,959
sir we can make this work very easily

60
00:02:56,959 --> 00:02:58,959
we have great enthusiasm incredible

61
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:00,720
enthusiasm

62
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,959
even the polls say about the most

63
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:05,120
enthusiasm they've seen

64
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,440
we can do this safely and we can do it

65
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,840
responsibly i said there's

66
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,599
nothing more important in our country

67
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:13,840
than keeping our people safe

68
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,879
whether that's from the china virus or

69
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:18,800
the radical left mob

70
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,360
that you see in portland where i want to

71
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,080
thank

72
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,920
homeland security and others in law

73
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:25,840
enforcement for doing a fantastic job

74
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,319
over the last few days they went in

75
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:32,000
and people were out of control for 51

76
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,440
days a long time and homeland security

77
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:35,840
and

78
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,840
other law enforcement with us went in

79
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,599
and they've done a great job

80
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:41,680
in protecting our property federal

81
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,120
courthouse and

82
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,400
other property and uh most importantly

83
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,159
protecting our people

84
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:50,159
or the senseless violence that you see

85
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:52,480
in chicago or new york or

86
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,720
detroit a lot of other cities where so

87
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,640
many people are shot

88
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,560
and so many people are killed and

89
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,560
people elected me to help and to protect

90
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,439
so i told my team it's time to cancel

91
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:10,000
the jacksonville florida component of

92
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,120
the

93
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,519
gop convention will be starting in north

94
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:15,200
carolina for the monday as

95
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,720
has always been planned we were never

96
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,639
taking that off that's remaining as it

97
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:20,079
is the delegates are going to get

98
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:21,279
together that's

99
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,680
where they do their nomination so the

100
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,639
delegates are

101
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:27,280
going to north carolina and they'll be

102
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:27,759
doing

103
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:31,520
the nomination and we're going to do

104
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,040
some other things with

105
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,759
teller rallies and online the week that

106
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:38,160
we're discussing which will be

107
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,680
really good i think we're going to do it

108
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,520
well and i'll

109
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,479
still do a convention speech in a

110
00:04:44,479 --> 00:04:46,000
different form

111
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,040
but we won't do a big crowded convention

112
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,800
per se it's just not the right time for

113
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,680
that

114
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,360
i care deeply about the people of

115
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,520
florida and everywhere else frankly in

116
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,080
this country

117
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,400
and even in the world who would be

118
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,680
coming into the state

119
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,520
and i don't want to do anything to upset

120
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,440
it they'll be

121
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,280
doing very well very shortly we're going

122
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:06,960

123
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,680
maps up of the country behind me and

124

126
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:13,759
about is

127
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:16,639
a hot spot you'll also see a lot of the

128
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:17,360
country is

percent

today i want to provide an update on the

150
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,560
actions we're taking to support the safe

151
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,199
reopening of america's schools

152
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:04,880
parents around the world who have had

153
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,800
their children home

154
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,479
for the last few months of a greater

155
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:10,560
appreciation for the fact

156
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,800
that teachers are essential workers that

157
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,720
they're essential to our

158
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,600
children's future our goal is to protect

159
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,520
our teachers and students from the china

160
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,560
virus

161
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,319
while ensuring that families with high

162
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:25,440
risk factors can continue to participate

163
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,319
from home very important the american

164
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:29,440
academy of

165
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,600
pediatrics has released guidance

166
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,039
recommending that

167
00:06:33,039 --> 00:06:36,560
schools reopen it said quote

168
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,120
lengthy time away from school and

169
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,080
associated

170
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,039
interruption of supportive services

171
00:06:43,039 --> 00:06:45,039
often results in a

172
00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:47,680
social isolation making it difficult for

173
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,440
schools to identify

174
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,240
and address important learning deficits

175
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,280
as well as

176
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:56,160
child and adolescent physical and sexual

177
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,360
abuse

178
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,840
substance abuse depression and suicidal

179
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:04,080
ideation this in turn places children

180
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,120
and adolescents

181
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,039
at considerable risk of morbidity and of

182
00:07:09,039 --> 00:07:12,800
some cases mortality beyond the

183
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,199
educational impact and social impact of

184
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:16,880
school closures

185
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,880
there's been a substantial impact on

186
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,960
food security and physical activity for

187
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:21,840
children and for

188
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,919
families so that's very important

189
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:29,840
and there's a highway it goes both ways

190
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,919
the national education association

191
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:34,319
recently stated despite

192
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:36,560
the momentous efforts of educators

193
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,800
during the pandemic online learning has

194
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:39,520
never been

195
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,840
an effective replacement for in-person

196
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,199
learning

197
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:46,319
and support being at the school being on

198
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:47,680
the campus is very

199
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,639
very important one study estimates that

200
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:51,199
due to

201
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:54,240
school closures last spring the average

202
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,199
student will begin

203
00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:57,360
the school year roughly 35 percent

204
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,319
behind in

205
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:01,039
reading compared to the typical year and

206
00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:03,520
more than 50 percent behind

207
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,400
in math that's a big statement according

208
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,039
to

209
00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:09,199
mckinsey and company learning loss will

210
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:10,560
probably be

211
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,879
greatest among low-income black and

212
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:13,840
hispanic

213
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,440
students they're the ones that are hit

214
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,479
the hardest we don't want that happening

215
00:08:18,479 --> 00:08:20,720
30 million american students rely on

216
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,280
schools for free and reduced meals

217
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,039
over 70 percent of the students who

218
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:27,199
receive mental health services do so

219
00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:29,280
through their schools

220
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,200
according to hhs one in five reports

221
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,360
allegedly

222
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,399
having to do with child abuse they

223
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:41,519
have neglect and these are neglect and

224
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:43,839
neglected cases are submitted

225
00:08:43,839 --> 00:08:47,120
by education personnel so

226
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,240
people in the education world on the

227
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,440
premises

228
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,600
will be the ones that report neglect

229
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,399
and other problems when they see the

230
00:08:58,399 --> 00:08:59,600
children they know if they've been

231
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,120
neglected they know if they've been hurt

232
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,800
or harmed in any way

233
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,800
whether it's at home or someplace else

234
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,399
but they see this at school you don't

235
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:08,000
get to see that if you're not going to

236
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,920
school it's a big thing

237
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,279
fortunately the data shows the children

238
00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:16,320
are lower risk from the china virus very

239
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,760
substantially

240
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,480
when children do contact the virus they

241
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,600
often have only

242
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,800
very mild symptoms or none at all

243
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,560
and medical complications are

244
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:28,480
exceedingly rare

245
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,640
those that do face complications often

246
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,000
have underlying

247
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,440
medical conditions 99

248
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,800
of all china virus hospitalizations

249
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,160
are adults and 99.96

250
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,279
of all fatalities are adults that means

251
00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:46,000
that

252
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,440
children are a tiny percentage less than

253
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,600
one percent and even a small percentage

254
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,519
of one percent

255
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:56,080
in a typical year the flu results in

256
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,440
more deaths

257
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,839
of those under 18 in the united states

258
00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:00,640
than have been

259
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,800
lost thus far to the coronavirus

260
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,040
many different names many many different

261
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,079
names

262
00:10:08,079 --> 00:10:10,079
the life of every child is sacred and

263
00:10:10,079 --> 00:10:12,000
must be protected

264
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,800
our sole focus is the health and

265
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,440
well-being of america's

266
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,760
children i have a very very special

267
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,839
person who loves children who's

268
00:10:21,839 --> 00:10:24,560
who's uh i think one of the greatest

269
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:26,640
athletes of all time

270
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,399
a lot of people say the greatest pitcher

271
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:29,680
of all time

272
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:31,360
known as a relief pitcher could have

273
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,360
been whatever he wanted some people

274
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,360
he is the greatest reliever of all time

275
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,279
by far substantially more saves than

276
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:38,880
anybody else in fact

277
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,200
he got the presidential medal of freedom

278
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,640
recently

279
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,600
and uh he uh i'm reading off these stats

280
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,200
i knew he was the best i knew he was

281
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,720
great but i didn't know it was almost

282
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,560
double anybody else

283
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:52,399
but he's a man who loves children has

284
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:54,240
children loves children

285
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,839
works hard with children we're going to

286
00:10:55,839 --> 00:10:57,839
go outside and be with some little

287
00:10:57,839 --> 00:10:59,680
leaguers

288
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:01,519
rivera you know he's the sandman right

289
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:03,440
my wife said

290
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,440
darling why do they call him the sandman

291
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,560
i said you know

292
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:09,279
they play the song he just puts the

293
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:11,200
batters to sleep and that's exactly what

294
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,320
happened

295
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,640
so uh having mariano here is a great

296
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,240
honor thank you very much was talking

297
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,480
about children in schools

298
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,279
and uh there's nobody that's done more

299
00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:22,560
than you have thank you very much

300
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:23,360
mariano

301
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,640
fantastic man given these considerations

302
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,240
we believe many

303
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,279
school districts can now reopen safely

304
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:33,680
provided they implement mitigation

305
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:34,800
measures and health

306
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,800
protocols to protect families protect

307
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,040
teachers and to protect students and we

308
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,480
do have to protect

309
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,320
the teachers and the families also we

310
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,560
have to remember that all families

311
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:47,040
should be empowered to make the decision

312
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,640
that is right for their own

313
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,279
circumstance this is especially

314
00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:53,120
important if a child has underlying

315
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,800
health conditions or

316
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,959
lives with a parent or grandparent who's

317
00:11:56,959 --> 00:11:59,120
at higher risk

318
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,240
in cities or states that are

319
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,639
current hot spots and you'll see that in

320
00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:06,320
the map behind me

321
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,200
districts may need to delay reopening

322
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:09,600
for

323
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,519
a few weeks and that's possible that'll

324
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:13,360
be up to governors

325
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,440
the decision should be made based on the

326
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,639
data and

327
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:18,480
the facts on the grounds in each

328
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,760
community but every

329
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,000
district should be actively making

330
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,399
preparations to open

331
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:27,040
again the children obviously have a very

332
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,639
strong

333
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:31,440
immune system maybe even as strong as

334
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,480
yours

335
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,720
they seem to be able to fight it off and

336
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,399
not have a problem

337
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:39,600
so it's pretty amazing actually great

338
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,880
great credit

339
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,560
our strategy to safely reopen schools

340
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:47,760
mirrors our approach nationwide as we

341
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,200
race toward the

342
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,160
completion of a vaccine and therapeutics

343
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,639
the responsible path is to shelter those

344
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:56,079
at highest risk

345
00:12:56,079 --> 00:12:59,040
while allowing those at lower risk much

346
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,160
lower in the case of

347
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,880
young children to resume work at school

348
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:03,360
and

349
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,320
as long as everyone practices vigilant

350
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,880
hygiene and social distancing we want

351
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:09,839
that

352
00:13:09,839 --> 00:13:11,680
a permanent shutdown was never the

353
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:14,800
strategy which would ultimately lead to

354
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,560
greater mortality and irreversible harms

355
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:20,720
we don't want to do that

356
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,160
at the same time we have to get our

357
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,959
economy going we had tremendous numbers

358
00:13:24,959 --> 00:13:28,240
issued yesterday housing prices pricing

359
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:28,560
of

360
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:32,480
housing up 21 the highest in history

361
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,800
it's the highest number in history real

362
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,399
estate housing

363
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:40,399
went up 21 today the cdc will provide

364
00:13:40,399 --> 00:13:42,800
additional guidance for how schools can

365
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,399
reopen safely

366
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:47,199
i hope that local leaders put the full

367
00:13:47,199 --> 00:13:49,120
health and well-being of their students

368
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,240
first

369
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,079
and to make the right decision for

370
00:13:52,079 --> 00:13:54,079
children parents teachers and not make

371
00:13:54,079 --> 00:13:55,920
political decisions this isn't about

372
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,079
politics it's about something

373
00:13:58,079 --> 00:14:00,079
very very important this is not about

374
00:14:00,079 --> 00:14:01,519
politics

375
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:03,680
i even think it's bad politics if you do

376
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:05,760
the wrong decision very bad politics

377
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,160
we're asking congress to provide

378
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,240
105 billion dollars to schools as part

379
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,079
of the next coronavirus

380
00:14:14,079 --> 00:14:17,040
relief bill this funding will support

381
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,040
mitigation measures such as smaller

382
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,199
class sizes more teachers and teacher

383
00:14:21,199 --> 00:14:22,480
aids

384
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,120
repurposing spaces to practice social

385
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,120
distancing and crucially

386
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,480
mask wearing this money is in addition

387
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,959
to the 30 billion dollars we secured for

388
00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:35,199
schools and universities earlier this

389
00:14:35,199 --> 00:14:36,320
year

390
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,320
that money we have some is distributed

391
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,320
and some is not distributed

392
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,839
if schools do not reopen the funding

393
00:14:43,839 --> 00:14:46,240
should go to parents to send their

394
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,920
child to public private charter

395
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,279
religious or

396
00:14:49,279 --> 00:14:52,800
home school of their choice the key word

397
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,720
being choice

398
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,120
if the school is closed the money should

399
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,800
follow the student

400
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,560
so the parents and families are in

401
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,480
control of their own decisions so we'd

402
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,839
like the money to go to the

403
00:15:03,839 --> 00:15:07,199
parents of the student this way they can

404
00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:09,839
make the decision that's best for them

405
00:15:09,839 --> 00:15:12,320
we cannot indefinitely stop 50 million

406
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,240
american children from going to school

407
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,920
harming their mental physical and

408
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,040
emotional

409
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,680
development reopening our schools is

410
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,920
also critical to ensuring that parents

411
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,199
can go to work

412
00:15:23,199 --> 00:15:25,839
and provide for their families the

413
00:15:25,839 --> 00:15:28,240
council of economic advisers estimates

414
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,199
that 5.6 million parents will be unable

415
00:15:31,199 --> 00:15:32,800
to return to work

416
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,000
if schools do not reopen this year

417
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,160
it's a tremendous problem it's a

418
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,600
tremendous problem

419
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,920
schools have to open safely but they

420
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,279
have to open

421
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:45,759
more than a dozen european countries as

422
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:48,000
well as south korea taiwan and many

423
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:48,959
others

424
00:15:48,959 --> 00:15:51,600
have already reopened schools and cases

425
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,600
have not risen

426
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,800
we can achieve the same goal if we unite

427
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:57,839
together

428
00:15:57,839 --> 00:16:00,320
follow the best medical practices and

429
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,440
apply

430
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,800
common sense we'll continue to support

431
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,440
states and cities in the current hot

432
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,000
spots

433
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,360
in the south south west and west

434
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,120
the governors i know i'm all they're all

435
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,120
very very capable they're doing a very

436
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,639
good job they're working

437
00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:19,279
so hard you wouldn't even believe it we

438
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:21,040
have nearly thirty thousand

439
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,519
federal personnel deployed in the states

440
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:25,600
that need assistance we're helping with

441
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,120
doctors and nurses

442
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,160
medical personnel of all kinds

443
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,279
as a ppe update we're in close

444
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:36,560
communication with governors and states

445
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,959
we have supplies everything they could

446
00:16:38,959 --> 00:16:40,880
possibly need we're very strong in

447
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,480
supplies remember i used to say the

448
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,079
cupboards were bare well now the

449
00:16:44,079 --> 00:16:45,839
cupboards are the opposite

450
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:47,920
due to our historic efforts to increase

451
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,320
both the national stockpile and the

452
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,959
state stockpiles the vast majority of

453
00:16:52,959 --> 00:16:54,880
the states have 60 days worth of

454
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,880
supplies on hand

455
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,240
and most importantly they have

456
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,839
ventilators because the ventilators are

457
00:17:01,839 --> 00:17:03,759
very very hard to come by at least in

458
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:05,599
the past now we're making thousands of

459
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:07,280
ventilators a month

460
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,119
and supplying them in many cases to

461
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,559
other countries

462
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:12,240
for states that are making requests

463
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,400
we're rapidly delivering

464
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,599
in the last 24 hours fema has deployed

465
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:18,400
more than

466
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,839
1.5 million masks upon request

467
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:27,439
1.7 million gallons and 600 000

468
00:17:27,439 --> 00:17:29,360
well let me change that we've created

469
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:32,720
about 600 000 different supplies we have

470
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,640
600 ventilators

471
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,919
to arizona north carolina pennsylvania

472
00:17:37,919 --> 00:17:41,440
colorado idaho and washington i think

473
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:42,400
the number is

474
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,240
600 we're going to check that it will

475
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,320
give it to you in a little while but

476
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,120
we've

477
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:49,679
we've got a stockpile of thousands of

478
00:17:49,679 --> 00:17:51,200
ventilators

479
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,919
i think we've sent out about 600 just

480
00:17:53,919 --> 00:17:55,039
recently

481
00:17:55,039 --> 00:17:57,440
the united states has now conducted more

482
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,400
than

483
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,320
51 million tests which is more than

484
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,039
any other country in the world by far

485
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:07,039
roughly half of the tests are either the

486
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:10,240
rapid point of care test which frankly

487
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,400
solves a lot of problem and delay five

488
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,039
to 15 minutes instead of waiting

489
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:18,080
for service both ways in both directions

490
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,840
and then at the lab

491
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,080
but roughly half of them now which is a

492
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,039
tremendous

493
00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:26,880
increase are five to 15 minute tests or

494
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,799
tests done in a hospital

495
00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:30,799
where you get the results back in less

496
00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:32,240
than a day

497
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,120
some cases immediately we're continuing

498
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:35,520
to

499
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,960
surge testing to current hot spots such

500
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,120
as miami and phoenix to

501
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,039
detect those with the virus and take

502
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:44,480
steps to stop

503
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,160
from spreading it further this is a copy

504
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,280
of the

505
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,919
map and this is uh you have it right

506
00:18:51,919 --> 00:18:54,400
behind me that's

507
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,320
really very much indicating where the

508
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,600
problems are

509
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,400
you see from from that it's in great

510
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:00,799
shape

511
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:03,840
lots of it the northeast has become

512
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,360
very clean the country is in very good

513
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:09,600
shape other than if you look south and

514
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,120
west some problems that'll all work out

515
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:15,280
on therapies we've worked with florida

516
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,799
to ensure that

517
00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:20,160
over forty thousand vials of redesvere

518
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,520
are arriving this week

519
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,320
it's a lot that's a really that's a lot

520
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,000
they're working round the clock to

521
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,559
make it it's had a tremendous impact

522
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:30,799
we've also shipped thousands of vials to

523
00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:33,200
arizona california and texas over the

524
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,120
past two weeks

525
00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:36,960
arizona is doing very well it's heading

526
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,280
down numbers are heading down

527
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,039
i think very quickly governor's done a

528
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:43,280
great job they've all done a great job

529
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,720
they've all done a great job

530
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,600
working hard we'll continue to monitor

531
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,880
the areas rising

532
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,240
and with respect to cases and we ask all

533
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,320
americans to exercise

534
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,799
vigilance practice social distancing

535
00:19:56,799 --> 00:19:58,240
wear a mask

536
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,240
do whatever is necessary so we get rid

537
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,760
of this horrible

538
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,840
situation this horrible disease that was

539
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,200
sent to us by china

540
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,280
it should not have been sent they should

541
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:08,799
have stopped it they could have stopped

542
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:10,400
it they didn't

543
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,360
and the entire world has gotten infected

544
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:15,360
and a lot of countries are going

545
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:17,600
through a lot right now this morning i

546
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:18,400
spoke with

547
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,120
president putin of russia and they're

548
00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:23,039
going through a very hard time with this

549
00:20:23,039 --> 00:20:27,200
in moscow in particular i spoke to

550
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,320
the crown prince saudi arabia

551
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,919
they're doing well but they're going

552
00:20:31,919 --> 00:20:33,280
through a lot everybody's going through

553
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,000
a lot yesterday

554
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,520
i spoke to the heads of four different

555
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,200
countries

556
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,280
all four are going through a lot going

557
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,400
through a hard time

558
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,679
this could have been stopped it could

559
00:20:41,679 --> 00:20:43,760
have been stopped quickly and easily but

560
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,320
for some reason it wasn't

561
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,159
and we'll figure out what that reason

562
00:20:48,159 --> 00:20:50,000
was so with that if you have any

563
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,880
questions please

564
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,000
on the convention were you simply not

565
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,520
convinced that you could keep people

566
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,120
safe at the convention i just felt it

567
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:02,000
was wrong steve

568
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,280
to have people going to what turned out

569
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,120
to be a hot spot you know when we chose

570
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:07,360
it

571
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:10,480
it was not at all hot it was free and

572
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,000
all of a sudden it happened quickly it

573
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,919
happens quickly and it goes away and it

574
00:21:13,919 --> 00:21:15,760
goes away quickly

575
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,600
the key is we wanted to go away without

576
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,280
a lot of death

577
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,960
without a lot of problems and we're

578
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,799
learning so much about

579
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:24,799
the disease that's why we're we're very

580
00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:26,559
cognizant of nursing homes we're

581
00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:28,320
watching them very carefully and people

582
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,000
over a certain age

583
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,919
and especially people over a certain age

584
00:21:31,919 --> 00:21:33,520
with diabetes or

585
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,840
or heart disease in particular but with

586
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,120
a problem

587
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:39,440
so uh we didn't want to take any chances

588
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,200
so we had a lot of people we have

589
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,960
the delegates want to be there we're

590
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,240
going to do a

591
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,400
fairly reasonably quick meeting in north

592
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,600
carolina the nomination will be produced

593
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,960
and then we'll announce what we're doing

594
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,080
how we're doing it whether it's

595
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,640
something that's done online i guess you

596
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,640
could call it online

597
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,799
so uh there can nothing there could be

598
00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:04,400
nothing like our last convention

599
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,840
unfortunately that was a great

600
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,039
convention and

601
00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:09,280
in a great place as you know we had a we

602
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,720
had a great time

603
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,919
great time in cleveland but um it's a

604
00:22:13,919 --> 00:22:15,360
different world and it will be for a

605
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:16,720
little while we want to get the world

606
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,520
back

607
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,520
to what it was and i think we'll have

608
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:20,960
that including

609
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,080
great job numbers uh including so many

610
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,760
things that are happening so positive i

611
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,880
have to say the

612
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,960
stock market is close to records for

613
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,159
nasdaq

614
00:22:30,159 --> 00:22:33,039
it is a record it's already exceeded its

615
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:34,320
highest numbers

616
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,720
uh but we want to get our country back

617
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,720
to what it was

618
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,400
acceptance speech being from the white

619
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,000
house are you worried we haven't said

620
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,520
that yet see we'll have that

621
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,720
we'll probably announce that over the

622
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,880
next few days this might dampen

623
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,720
enthusiasm for you

624
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,880
look we've done a great job we built the

625
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,559
greatest economy in the world

626
00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:56,400
no nobody close not china not anybody

627
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,320
we had to close it we saved millions of

628
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,080
lives and we opened it but we had the

629
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,320
best numbers in history for

630
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,960
african americans hispanic americans

631
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,720
asian americans

632
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,720
every group you want to name young

633
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,640
people without a diploma young people

634
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,320
with a high school diploma with a

635
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,240
college diploma anything you want to

636
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,000
name we had the best numbers

637
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,039
women doing incredibly never never been

638
00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:20,640
a time like that

639
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,520
and we had to turn it off because of

640
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,640
what china did

641
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,840
we had to turn it off and then

642
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,400
all of a sudden uh now we turn it back

643
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,039
on and

644
00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:33,360
we're doing very well but it was a very

645
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:35,360
bad china speaking about china the trade

646
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:36,720
deal

647
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,039
means less to me now than it did when i

648
00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:41,200
made it when i made it was a great deal

649
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,000
but they're they're setting records

650
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,640
yesterday was a record corn day they

651
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,440
purchased more corn than any order ever

652
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,200
and that went on for two or three days

653
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:51,760
and

654
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,919
soybeans and all but it just means much

655
00:23:53,919 --> 00:23:56,400
less to me can you understand that

656
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,000
just means much less to me please go

657
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,080
ahead thank you what was the one thing

658
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,679
if there was one thing that changed your

659
00:24:01,679 --> 00:24:03,200
mind about the convention

660
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,760
and did florida officials ask you to

661
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:06,480
cancel it

662
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,919
no they didn't we're dealing with them

663
00:24:07,919 --> 00:24:10,400
but they didn't i would just say safety

664
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,799
just safety i just you know i could see

665
00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:13,919
uh

666
00:24:13,919 --> 00:24:16,000
the media saying oh this is very unsafe

667
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,120
this is i don't want to be in that

668
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:19,200
position it's safety

669
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,880
not because of the media but that's what

670
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,559
they would say and

671
00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:25,200
uh we'll have a very nice something

672
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,840
we'll figure it out it'll be

673
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,240
it'll be online in some form maybe it'll

674
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,760
be something even a little bit different

675
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:32,960
we have time you know we're talking

676
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,240
about the end

677
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,520
of august but uh i think it'll be

678
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:38,640
something that will be

679
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,960
exciting but there can be nothing like

680
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,000
having

681
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,480
25 000 people we had a tremendous thing

682
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,679
planned and

683
00:24:45,679 --> 00:24:48,000
a tremendous convention planned in north

684
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,120
carolina

685
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:50,400
and it would have been very good but a

686
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,559
much smaller version in florida

687
00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:54,240
but then we saw what was happening

688
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,000
pretty quickly we saw that

689
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,200
that the virus was coming up that coast

690
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,080
so the severity of the situation in

691
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,600
florida

692
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,159
no i think it's going to uh come and go

693
00:25:06,159 --> 00:25:07,679
it will i mean you take a look at some

694
00:25:07,679 --> 00:25:09,120
of these locations

695
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:11,360
were heavily infected i mean to a point

696
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:12,240
where

697
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,120
deborah and i were talking that you know

698
00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:16,320
we when you look at

699
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:17,760
what happened in new york and what

700
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,320
happened in new jersey and other places

701
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,360
and now you're looking and uh it's

702
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:25,440
gone hope it stays gone i think we i

703
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,640
think it will but

704
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,120
we had to be we had to be we have to be

705
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:30,960
vigilant we have to be careful

706
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,640
and we also have to set an example i

707
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,640
think setting the example is very

708
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,440
important

709
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,760
uh it's hard for us to say we're going

710
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,440
to have a lot of people packed in a room

711
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,240
and then

712
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,000
other people shouldn't do it don't

713
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,400
forget we're talking about schools

714
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,240
and we want them to be vigilant and

715
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,679
we're saying open

716
00:25:47,679 --> 00:25:49,440
and then we're saying here you have a

717
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,600
big room but i also if you notice

718
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,840
i said where bars are crowded where

719
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,200
other things are crowded well there's

720
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,960
nothing more crowded than a convention a

721
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,880
convention i mean you've seen them

722
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,320
and even though you try and keep people

723
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,840
away from each other it's just not that

724
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,159
kind of a thing they probably

725
00:26:04,159 --> 00:26:05,919
can't do that it just doesn't work for

726
00:26:05,919 --> 00:26:07,440
them so it's a very hard so i think

727
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,200
we're setting an example by doing it is

728
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,000
very important

729
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,760
yeah john mr president if i could come

730
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,440
back to school

731
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:14,880
openings you talked about money that

732
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,440
congress is looking at to help schools

733
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,679
who want to reopen if school wants to

734
00:26:19,679 --> 00:26:21,440
reopen but is concerned about

735
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,679
testing would you consider directing

736
00:26:23,679 --> 00:26:25,760
some of that money toward testing for

737
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,039
either a school district or even

738
00:26:27,039 --> 00:26:28,080
individual schools

739
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,559
if that's what it took to open the

740
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:31,840
schools yeah i think so

741
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,480
i mean a lot of people feel differently

742
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:34,960
about

743
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,760
testing we talk about it a lot when we

744
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:38,640
have

745
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,440
50 million tests plus and you know we br

746
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,000
we broke the 50 million test mark

747
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,279
second in the world is india which has

748
00:26:46,279 --> 00:26:48,720
1.4 billion people

749
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,600
and they had 12 million tests and other

750
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:52,320
countries

751
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,320
that are very big had two million tests

752
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,480
and some countries essentially only test

753
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,400
if you're sick and walk into a hospital

754
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,559
walk into a doctor's office or

755
00:27:00,559 --> 00:27:03,600
you're literally really sick they

756
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,440
essentially don't do tests unless you're

757
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,400
sick

758
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,200
and i understand that too so yeah if

759
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,799
they feel that that's what they want

760
00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:13,679
it's that would be fine you would tell

761
00:27:13,679 --> 00:27:15,120
congress you would encourage congress to

762
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:16,240
pay for testing

763
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,880
i would if they want again we've done 50

764
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,080
million tests

765
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,679
there's nobody even close in the whole

766
00:27:21,679 --> 00:27:24,159
world you look at our mortality rate you

767
00:27:24,159 --> 00:27:26,000
look at our death rate you look at

768
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,240
different statistics we're doing very

769
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,360
well

770
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:31,200
but one death is too many this should

771
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,799
never have happened this should never

772
00:27:32,799 --> 00:27:34,000
have been allowed to happen

773
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,240
from china also mitch mcconnell's office

774
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,080
uh just put out a statement a moment ago

775
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:38,720
about

776
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,520
the phase four relief package cares ii

777
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,919
saying quote it's tailored precisely for

778
00:27:43,919 --> 00:27:45,760
this phase of the crisis

779
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,679
yet it does not include your payroll tax

780
00:27:47,679 --> 00:27:49,120
cut so do you believe it's pretty much

781
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:50,880
i'd like to see a payroll tax cut i

782
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,240
think it's great for the workers the

783
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,240
democrats would never have gone for it

784
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,919
they don't want it they're not big into

785
00:27:55,919 --> 00:27:57,440
the workers i guess

786
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,600
and based on that i told them last night

787
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,279
i told the republicans who have been

788
00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:02,799
working very hard on this i'll tell you

789
00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:03,919
and they want what's right for the

790
00:28:03,919 --> 00:28:04,960
country

791
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,960
and hopefully the democrats ultimately

792
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,360
will but i said i think a payroll tax

793
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:10,559
will be good but you're not going to get

794
00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:11,840
it from the democrats we need their

795
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:12,720
votes as you know

796
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,080
it's not like you know we have a

797
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,559
majority but it's not enough that we

798
00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:18,000
that's why i guess we have an election

799
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,159
coming up so you still need democrat

800
00:28:20,159 --> 00:28:21,200
votes and we're not going to get the

801
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,799
democrat votes on that

802
00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:24,240
so i'd like to see it i think would be

803
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,919
very good for the workers but

804
00:28:25,919 --> 00:28:27,279
if we're not going to get their votes i

805
00:28:27,279 --> 00:28:29,520
guess we have to go on to the next thing

806
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,279
a payroll tax cut would have been very

807
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:33,120
good and maybe uh

808
00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:36,640
maybe something happens uh yes please

809
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,440
um you talk about setting an example on

810
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,360
jacksonville but i just wonder some

811
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,720
people are going to take away from this

812
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:43,600
the lesson

813
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,240
that you're pushing too far too fast it

814
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,600
seemed for a while the numbers were

815
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:48,880
going up in jacksonville and you're

816
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,559
going to have a problem now

817
00:28:50,559 --> 00:28:52,720
this comes up at a time you're pushing

818
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,159
for schools to reopen we have the

819
00:28:54,159 --> 00:28:55,279
opening of the

820
00:28:55,279 --> 00:28:57,520
major league baseball season isn't isn't

821
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,440
the example of jacksonville that we're

822
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:00,240
pushing too

823
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,960
fast well baseball as an example we were

824
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,399
discussing it a little while ago you're

825
00:29:04,399 --> 00:29:05,520
going to be at a

826
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,600
empty stadium i've agreed randy levine's

827
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,520
a great friend of mine from the yankees

828
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,240
he asked me to throw out the first pitch

829
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,919
and i think i'm doing that on august

830
00:29:13,919 --> 00:29:16,320
15th at yankee stadium

831
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,640
and i say how's the crowd going to be

832
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,080
and uh you know

833
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,000
it's like you don't have a crowd there

834
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,279
is no such thing it's going to be

835
00:29:23,279 --> 00:29:25,200
interesting mariano he's not used to

836
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,679
that i've been at many games he walks in

837
00:29:27,679 --> 00:29:29,440
the place goes crazy

838
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,919
uh i think you'd be just as good without

839
00:29:31,919 --> 00:29:33,520
the crowd you were just born with it you

840
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,320
know some people are born with it

841
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,679
i don't know if this is only for the

842
00:29:37,679 --> 00:29:39,120
baseball players but i've never seen a

843
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,000
picture throw a ball

844
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,600
where so many bats were broken as

845
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,120
mariano he's got the

846
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,799
all-time record i said how do you do

847
00:29:44,799 --> 00:29:46,480
that he said parents

848
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,159
great parents when you get right down to

849
00:29:48,159 --> 00:29:49,679
it right how do you do that it's called

850
00:29:49,679 --> 00:29:50,559
parents

851
00:29:50,559 --> 00:29:54,000
but but uh yeah i just just to finish i

852
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:54,320
think

853
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,799
i think that we have to all set examples

854
00:29:56,799 --> 00:29:58,320
i think major league baseball is setting

855
00:29:58,320 --> 00:29:59,760
an example by

856
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,600
you know playing to empty stadiums and

857
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,600
so are other sports you see that

858
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,679
now then they'll allow a certain number

859
00:30:05,679 --> 00:30:07,600
in i see golf is now

860
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,520
soon we'll be allowing people to come in

861
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,760
and percentages and all of a sudden

862
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,360
we want to get back to normal the key is

863
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,880
to get back to normal because

864
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,840
nobody wants to see this but i think

865
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,840
it's really good that baseball's opening

866
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,159
it looks like football is opening

867
00:30:22,159 --> 00:30:24,240
it looks like sports are opening we we

868
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,159
have it's a tremendous thing

869
00:30:26,159 --> 00:30:28,320
psychologically for our country

870
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,600
and uh we're all we're all with it we'll

871
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:31,919
see

872
00:30:31,919 --> 00:30:33,679
we're going to see right now some

873
00:30:33,679 --> 00:30:35,200
beautiful young

874
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,279
little leaguers outside with a great

875
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:38,799
future ahead of them

876
00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:40,559
they're already practicing on the front

877
00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:42,320
lawn of the white house

878
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:43,679
and we're going to go out and say hello

879
00:30:43,679 --> 00:30:45,679
to them and it'll be really great okay

880
00:30:45,679 --> 00:30:46,720
how about one more

881
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,039
yeah please go ahead president trump um

882
00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:51,200
the washington post earlier today

883
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,039
reported that one thing holding up the

884
00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:55,360
gop coronavirus bill

885
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,200
is the white house asking that it

886
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,279
include language regarding the fbi

887
00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:01,120
building in downtown washington dc is

888
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,480
that true

889
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,760
i don't know that they're putting it in

890
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,320
this bill but i know they want to have a

891
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,399
new fbi building this one is very

892
00:31:08,399 --> 00:31:11,039
old and uh it's really was never built

893
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:12,799
to a very high standard as you probably

894
00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:14,559
have heard and it's got a lot of danger

895
00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:15,679
involved and

896
00:31:15,679 --> 00:31:17,519
panels falling off the outside and

897
00:31:17,519 --> 00:31:19,120
pieces of concrete falling off the

898
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,320
building

899
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,799
and they want to build it at the site

900
00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:23,919
that they have it

901
00:31:23,919 --> 00:31:26,320
they had options very far away from

902
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,440
washington

903
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,120
and i said to him frankly you have to be

904
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,559
near the justice department there's

905
00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:32,000
nothing better than the site the site

906
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,519
they have now is better

907
00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:34,880
but they were looking in sites in

908
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,320
maryland and virginia in different

909
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,120
places

910
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,600
but they would have been too far away so

911
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,840
i am i have been encouraging them to

912
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,200
build it and if you're going to you have

913
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,880
a choice you can renovate the existing

914
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,000
building but it's not a good

915
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,399
building or you could take it down and

916
00:31:48,399 --> 00:31:50,559
build a great building for the fbi for

917
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:53,760
100 years and have it be incredible even

918
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,840
with tracks on top they're talking about

919
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,200
you know we have because

920
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,519
fbi people like to work out a lot and

921
00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:01,519
you could have literally uh

922
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:03,279
quarter mile tracks on top it's a very

923
00:32:03,279 --> 00:32:05,120
big site very wide side

924
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,880
so i think the idea the best idea would

925
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,480
be to build a new building and that way

926
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,000
you have it for a long time renovation

927
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,600
can never be as good as a new building

928
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:12,640
in that case

929
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,640
i know they're talking about it whether

930
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,000
or not they put it in this bill or

931
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,279
someplace else but

932
00:32:17,279 --> 00:32:19,279
the fbi needs a new building and we'll

933
00:32:19,279 --> 00:32:21,519
get it done thank you all very much

934
00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:29,840
thank you thank you very much
