Bill De Blasio: The Federal Government Has Been Absent | Morning Joe | MSNBC
When you gut the CDC funding in 2017-2018 thinking these types of outbreaks won’t spread here and don’t take science seriously, this is what happens!
@JANDERSO4555 he DID DISMANTLE THE TASK FORCE THE CEC HAD IN PLACE FOR EMERGENCIES LIKE THIS. my sister 8n law works for the CDC in Atlanta. I’ll take her word over yours.
@JANDERSO4555 today the Republikkklan right wing fake Christians are speaking in tongues and flopping around on the floor like a fish out of water.
What are you guys talking about? Trump actually increased CDC funding so stop fear mongering
@Alex Zubarev your Russian president said that nazi’s who murder real Americans are fine people.
@Above All, United he was going based off China’s information since that’s where it originated and it was pure disinformation
The military got down to the border pretty quickly for the “invasion” so I presume they can get to New York?
@Brian Black only a traitor in love with a traitorous imbecile would say that.
Mark Harris. Trump is fighting a uphill battle against liberal dirtbags. But my money is on the good hard working people overcoming he lazy socialist dirtbags.
THEY ARE ALREADY HERE. JUST SAW A VIDEO OF TANKS BEING SENT VIA TRAIN OUT TO LONG ISLAND. IN ADDITION, NAVY HOSPITAL SHIP WILL BE HERE NEXT WEEK.
@Vincent Conti yes !!!!!!!!!
BUT not with weapons7
Delivering mass supplies of.badly needed medical goods.
Food to neighborhoods.
Show them how to put together testing kits, or ventilators. They can do it..
Americxa nwedsbto hold
@canuck2025 KNOCK IT OFF✔✔✔✔
QUIT WATCHING Faux news. It is just trump propaganda.- Half truths and misrepresentations AND THE REST PLAIN LIES. IT SERVES NO PURPOSE ONLY TO KEEP TRUMP HAPPY. AND SELF ABSORBED.
Let’s face it. … trump and pence just standing there ,,. They re freakin clueless. And they are trying desperately to cover it up
@Jackie Treehorn Yeah, done so much. So much damage, so much disinformation, so much incompetence, so much divisiveness , so much incompetence, lies, gaslighting, stupidity, laziness, lack of interest in anything that doesn’t benefit him.
And you would do a better job?
Your Mayor has destroyed your city.
You Murder more babies in a day that die from this Virus / day
GOD says ” YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW”
BE prepared how many babies have been murdered in your city ?
You will reap what in that city you have sowed.
@Alan GrigoSatan says, ‘Increase your meds.’
@macsporan
Macsporan I say “get thee behind me satan in the NAME OF JESUS”
No one believed Trump is competent and yet the worst-hit states failed to act when there was time ?
He had no problem sending troops to the border?
@Gary Rosie base is a bunch of old ladies wetting their pants.
Stain.
@Gary Rosie If you believed that “True Americans” are members of one political party and supporters of one politician, you should be expunged. You are completely useless to a functioning society.
@Sperup AD Wrong,he said that is what woman want and said it in private to one person but you dwell on it.You think about that every day and repeat it 10,000 times.That makes you a jealous weirdo.Calk us whatever childish names you want but remember we are winners.You are sick losers.
Thank God he did
Well you can see those low life south americans…so you can target them. But since Trump and Pence cannot see the virus
it does not exist. So he just sits up there and spews lies after lie…and brags about how Walmart is making more money now than at Cristmas…It is a money maker. There just planning ways on how they can make a buck out of the deal…I guess the bill that gives our money to HOTELS is not good enough. Ah moron in power.
It is truly unbelievable to me that the military has not been deployed yet. He was able to bomb a terrorist swiftly, but Trump will not save American lives.
@JANDERSO4555 I am an American soldier and have LIVED through actual war. We can help civilians in ways the movies don’t portray. Thanks for your immense intelligence!
@JANDERSO4555 I feel sorry for you bro. You’ve got to live in that mind all day long!
Have a good one.
@JANDERSO4555 Thanks man! For the entertainment! You’re amazing and very smart!
I think trump and his Republicans on the Hill wouldn’t mind one bit if the poor and the seniors died off, fewer people to kick off government help, more for them to spend!!!
@Sharon Snow THIS is exactly it. 😢
Do you mean the guy who dodged the draft is someone we can’t count on?
Well said!
I concur
This is so upsetting. Thank you for speaking to these issues.
Obama we need you back! ASAP
bat man glad your laughing lol…. you’ll see very soon how much you will be laughing…lol…be well
Why do we need more caskets Obama did well on this
Tatiana, Since that can’t happen, the next best person is Bernie for president. It’s not over yet. Vote Bernie and Progressive Democrat for Senate and House.
2009 Swine Flu began in April. Obama declared a national emergency SIX months later after over 1000 had died including 93 children. Swine Flu 60 million infected, 330,000 hospitalized, 28,000 dead in AMERICA. He instituted no travel bans, kept the borders open, did not close schools or have social distancing and this was his result. No thanks. Please don’t take my word for it and PLEASE don’t swallow whole the agenda/talking points put out by MSDNC … Instead research the truth on your own. I’m fearful for those who just blindly accept what they are being fed by news organizations funded by the People’s Republic of China. Keep drinking the kool-aide or get “woke” to the truth.
@Asappeh Acres Heritage Homestead What we are seeing is a man so full of himself that he can’t see or think straight. Trump is not a leader he is a disgrace. You can believe in him if you want, but. us sane people see a shipwreck
The president and his administration are lying. There is no manufacturing, there are no masks or ventilators being made. They are standing back and letting everyone deliberately die. And that is the honest truth.
@Dave Best why don’t you do that then, and donate them to hospitals?
@Sharon DeMedeiros You have all those Billionaire bankers over there Millionaire and Billionaire bankers who have connections to all the world and lear jets if needed… Do you hear a peep out of them??? Where are all these big powerful companies in NYC and why are they not helping???? Do you see the Evil???
@Sharon DeMedeiros Check out this video Sharon. It’s the Mayor’s fault. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mjH3C4ZIbU
@Chum Khuvunghe is a FAILED business man. He was no better at business than he is at being a president. He IS good at self-promotion, but that is it. He is worried about the economy ONLY because he is afraid it will affect his re-election possibilities and harm his own companies.
I guess thats based on facts right?
I am so sad hearing this.
Sadly by the time this is done millions may be dead
Maybe billions globally…oh no!
NOTHING GREAT ABOUT YOU. THE MSM PROPAGANDA MACHINE HAS DONE WELL WITH YOUR LITTLE BRAIN. YOU ARE BUYING THEIR BULL $HIT.
WILL be dead in america
@Bas Boone WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM. IT WILL BE OVER SOON. RIGHT NOW, THE MILITARY IS CONDUCTING OPERATIONS AND THEY ARE ARRESTING MANY DEEP STATE ACTORS AND CORRUPT PEOPLE. THESE MASS ARRESTS ARE TAKING PLACE WHILE WE ARE IN THE CONFINES OF OUR HOMES. THIS PLAN HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR MANY YEARS. PRESIDENT XI OF CHINA JUST MADE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT “THE STORM IS HERE AND THE SUN WILL BE SHINING SOON.” THIS IS A WORLD WIDE OPERATION PUT TOGETHER BY OUR MILITARY AND POTUS.
He’s more than willing to use his powers for his personal gain, no one else’s!
@Gary Rosie You’re as stupid as he thinks you are.
No wonder he lies all the time, he knows his base are morons.
People remember he said he was going to make bricks equal pay for the walls you’re going to really say he doesn’t lie the pastor is no f****** good please someone take him out please pray join me in prayer he gets coronavirus he deserves it
Sleep? Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream. I stay awake even through these nightmarish times. Your eyes open? You aware? Or just in a trance?
So true. He’s only chasing clout at this point.
@Aaron wilson YES EXACTLY
This was filmed in the morning and by noon, NY had 2000 more cases.
Those cases were also present in the morning. They were identified and counted n the afternoon. There are cases that exist today. That won’t be counted until tomorrow.
You guys really have a problem..a collapsing health system isn’t anything to joke about. Italy had 800 deaths just yesterday. And the country is already a few weeks in lockdown. Just imagine how many it would be without lockdown. Keep calm and stay home!
It`s just a hoax….lol
@JANDERSO4555 Yes, I realize testing has ramped up, but it gives us an idea of how many people have been walking around with it that we didn’t know about. Italy has been on lockdown for 2 weeks and their numbers aren’t letting up.
@JANDERSO4555 Why do assume I want this to get worse? I am a double high risk person. Of course I want it to stop, and I don’t know how you got that I have some conspiracy beliefs. If it makes you feel better to think that, then go ahead. I suppose we all have to handle things in our own way! I console myself by thinking that if I’m going to get it, I’d rather get it now/sooner than in 4-6wks when medical facilities may not be able to handle it. Several newspapers have begun reporting today that Italian doctors have been ordered to not put patients over 60 on ventilators because there are not enough. Yet, many Italians are still going out and disobeying the stay home mandate. I have no doubt that the US has enough selfish, slef-centered, “it won’t happen to me” or a “it’s not THAT serious” mentality, that we will fare far worse than Italy at the end of the day. The US had, and to some degree still has, the advantage of learning from Italy’s positive moves AND their errors. Unfortunately, people 18-35-ish seemed to have an issue “obeying” an order EVEN when it means saving lives and to the extent that their need to prove the point that their “right” to do whatever they please is placed above human lives. Many of Italy’s governors have now declared that they have been forced to and will begin arresting people AND in some cases charging them with involuntary manslaughter — because THAT IS EXACTLY what they are doing — except it’s on a voluntary basis aka murder.
United States of America is not united after all. Governments on all level in disarray. How pathetic.
God does bless America just not USA
So much for corporate tax breaks where is his big boys now that saved the economy
Did the truth be home this is the president’s way of making America great bring it to its knees
most countries like that dumb dumb
Now the cost of electing Trump is clear and it’s about lives!
Unfortunately you have a president who spend more time keep self praising himself.
Wang Jim The mayor and city government of NYC were encouraging people to gather in large crowds…Chinese New Year…right before this. The deaths are on the mayors hand
” The lights are on but there’s nobody at home with this administration” perfectly sums up the federal response to this crisis
TRUMP had AUOR”S STUFF not to everyone else
People who where wondering how Trump is going to comport himself in time of crisis. Look no farther. He is simply a bad leader.
bad leader is simply an understatement…..although he is not a wartime hitler, but he is definitely a peacetime hitler
As a Canadian I cannot understand why someone of the character of the mayor or the governor cannot be the President. Trump is a buffoon. Unfortunately the incompetence of Trump is now going to be front and center and result in many unnecessary American lives being lost.
screw canada. look at your boss…
@Notta Libhead Nice. You obviously are a genius. Let me guess, you think Trump is a hero. Our “boss” can at least speak in coherent sentences, and listens to medical experts.
@Sean Shea governor cuomo and newsome both tried to sue trump and accused him of racism and xenophobia in january for wanting to keep people from china from entering usa. More than 150k chinese and europeans came in and not 1 was tested for corona virus, and now california and new york which also happen to be sanctuary cities are 2 of the hottest infected areas in the usa. Liberalism and political correctness is a disease. trudeau is part of that disease. no human is a hero. dont also be a lib and mince words.
@Notta Libhead Who is mincing words? I simply made a statement about Trump. I am no Trudeau lover. You brought him up not me.
Sean Shea yet trump put the travel ban in, and this same mayor was saying march 10th on this same network that people in nyc don’t need to be worried unless you’re 60+
The problem when people can’t understand geometric growth. Left alone that demand for ventilators will exceed supply by 6000x! That means doctors being forced to treat 1 from 60 people, and leave 59 to die. This virus will only be stopped when 60% have had the virus. 200M people. 10% will get very sick, or 2M people. The US has less than 100,000 ventilators, with 50% already used. 2% will die, or 400,00 dead by June. Trump doesn’t have the brains to understand the issues. Americans need to totally isolate at home for at least the next 3 months.
