| 0:00.0 | And good evening, everybody. Just a short time ago. President Trump and his task force wrapped |
| 0:04.8 | up another coronavirus briefing. The president confirming reports in the Washington Post |
| 0:08.5 | and CNN that the nation's stockpile of much needed equipment, gloves, and other medical |
| 0:14.3 | supplies is near depletion. PPE. Quoting President Trump, it is because we're sending it directly |
| 0:20.4 | to hospitals. Well, earlier today, New York City's mayor said they need millions of specialized |
| 0:24.7 | masks by Sunday. Connecticut's governor, Ned Lamont, said it's a scramble quoted to |
