Rachel Maddow looks at how the Trump administration's failure to formulate a national coronavirus strategy puts Americans at greater risk, and how the administration is botching even the basic responsibilities of a federal government in a crisis. Aired on 4/1/20.

I suppose in your mind rube, Bless your heart
L B
You didn’t have an intelligent word in your whole comment you bozo, bless your heart
@tommy d who does Pelosi hire?
@L B you know why she has been investigated multiple times, but no charges were ever brought. Because she did not commit any crimes.
fight the good fight Rachel, I appreciate you
you do know madcow could not fight her way out of a paper bag
Reality ck, for real this is what happens when a failed casino hack actually becomes president.
When you have a President that attacks the media and looks for praise instead solutions to this Pandemic, you have to question, is he the President America deserves when lives are on the line?
probably the one we deserve for electing, but not the one we need
He was never a presidential material and was never qualified to be one
The mainstream media has attacked this president since he won. Rachael should be ashamed of all the propaganda that flows out of her mouth like a nasty river. Perhaps Rachael should go back and listen to the last state of the union address. Shut up Rachael and start acting like a real journalist.
this is just the begining
a few more weeks & it will be panic
You are totally correct, I had hoped America was wiser than this, I’m not sure the nation will recover from this as a leading nation. The economy will be stretched to breaking point.
The federal government is either stupid or lying or both.
Chris Dykstra I pick both!
Corrupt!
@nits56 What’s in your box of chocolates, goober?
@nits56 TROLL–not worth reading…
@Pauline Dawes stay a brainwashed commie
‘Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.’ ~ PLATO
Perfect quote, thank you.
I listened to this a second time and im even more disgusted with the dysfunction
@Darrin Fry OMG Rachel lies like a rug. What happened to Trump being a Russian assett bright boy.
@rex gressett who says he’s not? Mueller did find many inappropriate Russian contacts within the Trump* campaign. He wasn’t able to prove a criminal conspiracy but his investigation was instructed as he documented in the 2nd part of his report. Trump* wasn’t vindicated, bright boy, there just isn’t any mechanism to hold a president accountable in the US if he has a complicit Senate.
And go look at The sources she cited. They’re there. Obviously she isn’t lying this time.
And she usually does cite her sources, so…
@rex gressett He IS a Russian asset. He cares what Putin thinks, he cares what Putin does. He runs interference for him, and puts Russia’s interests first. He doesn’t much care what YOU think, or what you do. But he really really really wants your vote. Other than that, you can $#$$$ off.
You’re an ignoramus if you actually believe anything from this propagandist…..She is an entertainer not a journalist….Thats what her lawyers told a judge….
@rex gressett He is all of that and a bag of *#!+
My God! They’re selling to other countries, when they KNOW they’re needed in the US?? WTF is wrong with people?? All it would take is an order from Trump, and they’d stay in the country … of course then Trump’s GOP would outbid any of the states, and Lord knows where they’d end up!! This is total incompetence by the Federal government! I sure hope people will be smart enough to vote this imbecile out of the White House, come November!
The only thing Americans worship more than god is money. So of course vital supplies get sold overseas if they net a profit.
Get the facts please you moron you sound like Maddow
George Carlin would be loving this Circus.
LOL! He’d have a field day!
I think he would be surprised.
I wouldn’t call it love. More like rage and disgust channeled into comedy.
I think they want people to die. They are sure acting like it.
Not you you beautiful rose. The first guy!
@Zack R you think telling people you hope they die on the internet makes people change their monds?
Billy Bob I dunno what a mond is.
@Iceberg Rose no, it’s being done intentionally.
Only Democrats. He’s holding that stockpile for his RED STATES.
!! Most relevant statement: “Please could we have a new federal government, at least just for this.” !!
What would you do different
You think Biden will be better? REALLY???
Trump has basically waited for supplies to run out! Now he’s using federal powers to ramp up production. That should have been done weeks ago like people were begging for … It’s sad 😔
@Alfredo Gonzalez where so you get your information? As we all know, supplies were mysteriously stolen..
Why is this up to Trump? He’s giving all governors the authorization to run their own state.. like the Constitution allows
. Just be glad she didn’t win,or else the Georgia guide stones would be law.. do you know about the guide stones? That was the deepstate plan..
Lord Kiltridge: anybody would be better! This is the tragedy … anybody would be better 😳
We needed a clear-cut strategy to organize, process and institude medical guidelines, protocals, and readiness, nationwide. This should have been launched in January or February of this year.
I think it takes a crisis like this to remind all of us just how much an impact something like elections can have in daily life.
@Josh Jr I really touched on a weak spot didn’t I!🤣 we’re doing mama jokes now? well ok but just the one, your mama’s so fat she’s got her own gravity! If you see celestial bodies around her you’re not delusional they’re moons.
@Sikemo dude you don’t have to report my comments cause you can’t handle the fact that the better half of you dribbled down your mother’s leg. Buuuuuurnnn
@Josh Jr moi? Report toi?! 🤷♂️ please don’t call me dude! Anything but that! Besides who’s called Jr? There you are, size matters. I hope you’re not one of those last word fanatics, cos you have all the attention you’re going to get from me.
@Sikemo still in your save room, I told your monther you would happen if she married her brother, but she didn’t listen.
@Lawrence DeHarde you are a good argument for contraception and the reason why abortion is legal.
I didn’t happen, nobody does bimbo. But I ask myself what the wisdom behind your creation was. Still some people’s existence is a warning to others.
Unless you’re a last word fanatic don’t write me because this is all the attention you’re going to get.
The selling of masks overseas and the price gauging is a common problem. European countries like France have prohibited the export of any such equipment outside of their borders. In Germany Bayer one of our biggest medical companies has adopted a policy to allow their trained workers to volunteer for the government run hospitals while still paying them. They also increase testing facilities. In the Netherlands Bavaria – a brewery – has picked up 25 ton of beer that are resting unused in the restaurants/ bars etc and produces hand desinfectant out of it. You have so much untapped potential for help in your various industries. The problem is that you are not just fighting Corona. You are fighting your elected government too.
Lawrence DeHarde it didn’t stop them responding well to SARS and Ebola?
@Patsy Sadowski they kept Eboli in Africa in the 80 ,,there was a huge outbreak Ebola in Africa we got there we shut it down Trump offered help China for us to come in and do the same we could shut this thing down before I left China. They didn’t let us because it may have escape from lab in that area.
It’s a flat out lie that we don’t have a team you can’t be that weak-minded that believes that the US is not ready. It was stupid Obama that’s SCREWED up your response to the Swine flu. It was his inability that he made a bureaucratic joke anyone knows you don’t encumber everything you keep it swept and quick especially when you got to make decisions quicklyObama set up a redundancy program that just slowed thing down
@Lawrence DeHarde who are you trying to convince with that semi literate bragadoccio? Facts do not need to be shouted louder the second time to make them “truer”. Also i your own words… It is easy and lazy to blame President Obama. The states had governors then the oo, don’t they? So why is that an excuse for the guy that tried to talk “his” victim numbers down and put fingers into his ears to not hear about a crisis in the election year but somehow does not apply to the President who did not govern five thousand deaths from illness?
Well said, such a pity that nobody in America is listening or understanding what you are saying. America is supposed to be the beacon of light for the rest of the world, what a joke.
Never, in my 73 years have i heard of a government not wanting to disrupt their supply line so that companies can auction off medical supplies to the highest bidder in an emergency! How disgustingly cold hearted! AMERICAN GREED at its most horrid. Of course this comes straight from your horrid President on down. The difference is now it’s turned on American citizens in crisis.
It’s easier to deceive the people than to convince people that they’ve been deceived.
thanks for that Mario
They are the willingly deceived…it’s a deliberate choice because they’ve stopped believing n hoping in reality n the truth n are searching for an escape from it that makes them feel safe,again…the “BEST”,again. But, America is doomed because it won’t n cannot face itself honestly for what it truly is…an illusion created by Satan’s demons in disguise as successful,wealthy high rollers. Built on every conceivable evil, rolled up in sugary flour n sprinkled with glitter so that it can appear to be attractive to those chasing fool’s gold! 💩🙈➡✨😳=😜!!
Like the crowd that willingly chose a thief over The Christ, on the cross, in that Easter story! 📜👀 (They’d rather crucify the TRUTH than accept it. But this time THEY DO KNOWTH what they do…)👉🐧💩👎
@Zack R Pleasure.
‘Its Insane’ Yet 60% favor this administration and look over there…over 1K with ‘thumbs down’ I feel we are too stupid to survive.
Maddow’s lawyer said that this crap isnt true, under oath.
Its Mueller time!
That’s because the corrupt left has lied for so long, nobody believes you anymore. Get over it
Its Mueller time!
*checks notes*
Oh…I’m supposed to say
“Trumps fault, not China’s fault!”
Ahem.
“Trumps fault, not China’s fault!”
“Trumps fault, not China’s fault!”
“Trumps fault, not China’s fault!”
Kurt Johansson the kung fu flu Chinese virus. Maddow is such an ugly little man
you would thing you are too stupid to survive but democrats are like cockroaches they live on and on
HOW I WOULD LOVE RACHEL TO SAY “APRIL FOOLS” AT THE END OF THIS SEGMENT. This is so disheartening.
dharpoon she’s saying our own government continues to be our undoing in this. I’ve never seen her so emotional. Devastating news.
Disheartening, as well as being mostly LIES! Propaganda and fearmongering from crybaby Wretchel Madbowell!
@mixedmediamom1 dont be the gullible fool that you are. Maddows whole infotainer career is based on appeals to emotion…its her whole act! And those of you who follow her schtick are no diff than the snakeoil you accuse others of peddling.
