CORONAVIRUS

RUSH TRANSCRIPT SCARBOROUGH Anyway ░░░░░░░░ s bring in right ░░░░░░░░ NBC s from the ░░░░░░░░ House NBC correspondent Carol ░░░░░░░░ Carol we just heard ░░░░░░░░ doctor talk about how ░░░░░░░░ need to understand Donald ░░░░░░░░ is running for re ░░░░░░░░ so don t listen ░░░░░░░░ this very bad medical ░░░░░░░░ coming from him and ░░░░░░░░ around him The strange ░░░░░░░░ is his poll numbers ░░░░░░░░ slipping with seniors His ░░░░░░░░ numbers keep slipping in ░░░░░░░░ There was a poll ░░░░░░░░ on Friday that he ░░░░░░░░ down 6 points in ░░░░░░░░ state of Florida in ░░░░░░░░ part because of seniors ░░░░░░░░ comes from this quack ░░░░░░░░ advice that he keeps ░░░░░░░░ Right now let s ░░░░░░░░ look at the Trump ░░░░░░░░ that Donald Trump is ░░░░░░░░ war with The fda ░░░░░░░░ hydroxychloroquine The va said ░░░░░░░░ don t like him ░░░░░░░░ the va That has ░░░░░░░░ be news to a ░░░░░░░░ of people This weekend ░░░░░░░░ sent Navarro out to ░░░░░░░░ the department of health ░░░░░░░░ human services Sent Navarro ░░░░░░░░ to attack the CDC ░░░░░░░░ are agencies that Donald ░░░░░░░░ runs He is now ░░░░░░░░ war with all agencies ░░░░░░░░ should be on the ░░░░░░░░ of this battle in ░░░░░░░░ fight against a pandemic ░░░░░░░░ probably by the end ░░░░░░░░ next week will have ░░░░░░░░ 100 000 Americans What ░░░░░░░░ going on LEE Well ░░░░░░░░ I think the takeaway ░░░░░░░░ the President wants to ░░░░░░░░ something and he s ░░░░░░░░ to do it If ░░░░░░░░ just look at the ░░░░░░░░ issue he s pushed ░░░░░░░░ drug for weeks despite ░░░░░░░░ health advisers giving warnings ░░░░░░░░ this is and not ░░░░░░░░ him to do that ░░░░░░░░ saying this was not ░░░░░░░░ that anybody should do ░░░░░░░░ of a hospital setting ░░░░░░░░ you said the FDA ░░░░░░░░ said The President he ░░░░░░░░ previewed this April 4th ░░░░░░░░ he said he would ░░░░░░░░ the drug and he ░░░░░░░░ going to talk to ░░░░░░░░ doctor about it And ░░░░░░░░ you look at what ░░░░░░░░ doctor said and what ░░░░░░░░ President said it s ░░░░░░░░ clear that the President ░░░░░░░░ the one in the ░░░░░░░░ seat here He said ░░░░░░░░ wanted to take it ░░░░░░░░ asked his doctor about ░░░░░░░░ they had conversations about ░░░░░░░░ so the doctor made ░░░░░░░░ happen White House official ░░░░░░░░ us yesterday that people ░░░░░░░░ him who work for ░░░░░░░░ didn t know that ░░░░░░░░ was taking this drug ░░░░░░░░ were surprised when he ░░░░░░░░ that he was taking ░░░░░░░░ drug They were scrambling ░░░░░░░░ try to put together ░░░░░░░░ statement from the doctor ░░░░░░░░ know the other takeaway ░░░░░░░░ that if you remember ░░░░░░░░ when the President s ░░░░░░░░ tested positive for coronavirus ░░░░░░░░ week of May 7th ░░░░░░░░ said that he was ░░░░░░░░ around him He didn ░░░░░░░░ really spend that much ░░░░░░░░ with him and he ░░░░░░░░ t worried about it ░░░░░░░░ re told that is ░░░░░░░░ reason why he is ░░░░░░░░ this drug is because ░░░░░░░░ was potentially exposed then ░░░░░░░░ suggests the President is ░░░░░░░░ more concerned about this ░░░░░░░░ coronavirus than he s ░░░░░░░░ let on at different ░░░░░░░░ And there are some ░░░░░░░░ that he said yesterday ░░░░░░░░ I think you could ░░░░░░░░ potentially coming back to ░░░░░░░░ him particularly politically One ░░░░░░░░ them is he said ░░░░░░░░ it doesn t work ░░░░░░░░ you re not going ░░░░░░░░ get sick or die ░░░░░░░░ if that doesn t ░░░░░░░░ up being true for ░░░░░░░░ people then you know ░░░░░░░░ s something that could ░░░░░░░░ you could see it ░░░░░░░░ in a political ad ░░░░░░░░ fall So you know ░░░░░░░░ Joe this is a ░░░░░░░░ who very clearly just ░░░░░░░░ wants to do this ░░░░░░░░ s kind of playing ░░░░░░░░ own doctor here So ░░░░░░░░ we are He really ░░░░░░░░ yesterday in announcing this ░░░░░░░░ the press enjoying seeing ░░░░░░░░ looks on everyone s ░░░░░░░░ In large part you ░░░░░░░░ he s just going ░░░░░░░░ do what he wants ░░░░░░░░ do SCARBOROUGH You said ░░░░░░░░ something happens to people ░░░░░░░░ get sick and die ░░░░░░░░ have already The Trump ░░░░░░░░ has already said Don ░░░░░░░░ take this You will ░░░░░░░░ sick and could die ░░░░░░░░ that s already happened ░░░░░░░░ will continue happening if ░░░░░░░░ unfortunately listen to what ░░░░░░░░ President says Carol have ░░░░░░░░ heard or have any ░░░░░░░░ at all to explain ░░░░░░░░ obsession with this drug ░░░░░░░░ the President has repeatedly ░░░░░░░░ up He stopped bringing ░░░░░░░░ up of course when ░░░░░░░░ own FDA said that ░░░░░░░░ will kill you when ░░░░░░░░ V A said it ░░░░░░░░ kill you Around the ░░░░░░░░ time he then started ░░░░░░░░ about injecting disinfectants into ░░░░░░░░ human body or shoving ░░░░░░░░ into the human body ░░░░░░░░ he stopped talking about ░░░░░░░░ for a while now ░░░░░░░░ s come back to ░░░░░░░░ and there s been ░░░░░░░░ obsession with this drug ░░░░░░░░ connections with the people ░░░░░░░░ make the drug that ░░░░░░░░ ve been able to ░░░░░░░░ out Not asking about ░░░░░░░░ Has anybody found anything ░░░░░░░░ and fast on why ░░░░░░░░ president is so obsessed ░░░░░░░░ pushing this drug that ░░░░░░░░ own administration says will ░░░░░░░░ you LEE Well look ░░░░░░░░ said yesterday that he ░░░░░░░░ no personal there was ░░░░░░░░ he was going to ░░░░░░░░ benefit from from pushing ░░░░░░░░ drug It is a ░░░░░░░░ question It s something ░░░░░░░░ know folks are looking ░░░░░░░░ But you also know ░░░░░░░░ some of the people ░░░░░░░░ the president his allies ░░░░░░░░ outside the White House ░░░░░░░░ pushed this idea On ░░░░░░░░ of that we know ░░░░░░░░ this is a president ░░░░░░░░ really just wants to ░░░░░░░░ the page on coronavirus ░░░░░░░░ some sort of for ░░░░░░░░ has wanted some sort ░░░░░░░░ cure all some kind ░░░░░░░░ miracle to come through ░░░░░░░░ that the country could ░░░░░░░░ beyond this And he ░░░░░░░░ really latched on to ░░░░░░░░ as a potential for ░░░░░░░░ that goal Now you ░░░░░░░░ seen him take it ░░░░░░░░ the next level where ░░░░░░░░ is saying that he ░░░░░░░░ taking it himself.”
