Mika: That was President Trump on his relationship with the nation's governors, many of whom are pleading for help. 

Joe: And I just tell you right off the top, the President of the United States is saying Governor Cuomo shouldn't be asking. And I'm sure Republicans and Democrats alike understand the humanitarian crisis, unparalleled health crisis coming to New York City.  They hear Cuomo begging for help for the residents.

This is war.  More people can die from this than died from every war in our history. 

This is like a general under fire knowing that the enemy is approaching from all sides and begging for help for the sake of American people, seniors.  And the president in that moment seemed dismissive almost contemptuous of that and, Mika, we're going to show some charts from Johns Hopkins and others showing the crisis coming to America is going to be unprecedented, going to look worse than China Italy Spain France.

We are going to be the epicenter of this, we're going to show you-

This is like a hurricane that's coming on shore, coming closer and closer.  Being a Floridian I'm very aware of people who mock the warning and end up dead.  Remember the school buses in the parking lot during Hurricane Katrina?

Well the school buses are still in the parking lot.  The President is saying the hurricane is not coming he was saying it's a hoax.

You can't negotiate with a hurricane, you can't negotiate with a pandemic.  While Britain and the rest of the world see this hurricane coming, they see it coming.

M:  They're locking it down.

J:  They're locking it down.  Because they saw what happened in Italy, politicians mocking this coming storm and now they're seeing people on the floor of hospitals gasping for breath and dying alone.  And that's moved from Italy to Spain and, friends, as much as I hate to say this, it's coming to the United States, the hurricane is coming.

You know the press conference yesterday where the president said we'll have everything over by Easter, I'm glad the markets went up, great for your 401 K's, it's not going to happen, it's not going to be lifted by Easter.

We're going to be looking at scenes in New York City hospitals, health care officials tell me, that are going to look as horrid as what happened in Italy. 

New York is going to look like Italy if this president doesn't recognize that there's a storm off shore.  That storm is coming, it's not a hoax, not fifteen people who have it and pretty soon that number will be down to zero as president said.

Just because it's not impacting your neighborhood now,

What you did three weeks ago is affecting you today, what you do today is going to affect you three week from now. 

Mr. President please, for the sake of … all of us … please recognize that storm is coming and stop telling people they're going to go out on their sailboats on Easter Day with a Category Five Hurricane brewing off shore.
