Summary
We now know that Trump was warned by the military early February in an unclassified briefing that as many as 150,000 Americans were likely to die- and in fact he probably knew much earlier- so why didn't he do anything? And now that thousands of Americans are dead- and counting- from what Trump called a month ago 'A Democrat Hoax', will the Fox News crowd finally realize what kind of man they are following, or will they follow him blindly into a crisis? Should Trumpsters be asked to wear their maggot hats so we can see them coming and keep at least six feet away?
Plus - Trump's ridiculous response letter to Chuck Shumer... avoiding pandemic-inspired scams... with so many people losing their jobs and higher costs due to the pandemic become a death-spiral for the health insurance system?.. bailing out the rich- again... the L.A. rent strike... qAnon carona virus truthers... And the mooseherder checks in with his 'Republicans for Biden' plan...

| 0:04.0 | Did you all see this letter that Donald Trump sent to Chuck Schumer? |
| 0:15.0 | Schumer had sent Trump a letter saying, would you please nationalize the supply chain |
| 0:21.0 | for masks and personal protective equipment and face shields and ventilators and |
| 0:27.0 | respirators and N95. Would you please do that and put a military guy in charge of it. |
| 0:32.6 | Now of course Trump has not nationalized the supply chain so there is no military |
| 0:36.4 | guy in charge of it because there's no nationalization of the supply chain. |
| 0:39.7 | But this is the insane letter that Donald Trump replied to him with. |
| 0:45.0 | He said, dear Senator Schumer, thank you for your Democrat public relations letter and |
| 0:50.8 | incorrect soundbites, which are wrong in every way. |
| 0:55.0 | Now you can tell either Donald Trump dictated this or Stephen Miller wrote it |
| 0:59.0 | because it sounds like it was written by an eighth grader. |
| 1:02.0 | Number one, as you are aware, like it was written by an eighth grader. |
| 1:03.2 | Number one, as you are aware, Vice President Pence |
| 1:06.2 | is in charge of the task force. |
| 1:08.6 | Apparently, you know, you're talking to the wrong guy. |
| 1:11.1 | Number two, the Defense Production Act has been consistently used by my |
| 1:14.7 | team and me for the purchase of billions of dollars worth of equipment, medical |
| 1:17.9 | supplies, ventilators, and other related items. Yeah, we learned that from the |
| 1:20.9 | New York Times, but you will not use it for forcing manufacturing. |
| 1:26.7 | Another lie. That part was not written by Trump, obviously he's not smart enough to write that. |
