you see these memos that reportedly Peter Navarro wrote back in January, When did you see them?

And how does that these memos sort of square with what?

頻度を表す副詞

You've often said that nobody could have predicted this.

It sounds like he was predicting I didn't see him, but I heard he wrote some memos talking about Pandemic.

Uh, I didn't see him ready to look for him, either, but that was about the same time as I felt that we should do it with.

That was about the same time that I closed it down.

I asked him about it just a little while ago because I read something about a memo.

He said Yes, I talked about the possibility of a pandemic.

Nobody said it's going to happen, but you know there is a possibility.

There always has been a possibility, but people wouldn't talk about it, but it was right about the time that I closed it down, and interestingly, the World Health Organization was not in favor of us closing it then, And if we didn't close it down, we would have lost hundreds of thousands more lives.

So so at a time when Peter Navarro did circulate memos, you were still downplaying the threat of Corona virus us.

You were saying things like, I think it's a problem that's going to go away with right It will go.

You said within a couple of days cases, down to zero cases really didn't build up for a while.

But you have to understand how much your leader for this country, I don't wanna create havoc and shock and everything else.

But ultimately, when I was saying that I'm also closing it down, I obviously was concerned about it because I closed down our country to China, which was heavily infected.

That's a big move, closing it down from China and then closing it down from Europe and then ultimately closing it down to the UK so and it was right about that time.

But I'm not gonna go out and start screaming.

This could happen So again, as president, I think a president has to be a cheerleader for their country.

I'm also closing down a very highly infected place.

Specifically the location, as you know, in China that had the problems and we're closing it down.

Those were big moves and it was right about that service.

Just President Justice wrote about this today.

Do you feel like your staff or Peter Navarro himself?

I think he told certain people in the staff.

I don't remember it even being discussed.

We had a meeting where there were a lot of people.

Most people felt they should not close it down, that we shouldn't close down to China.

And that was almost the exact same time is the memo.

If you had read the memo with time, how that have changed the steps?

I basically did what the memo said, and the memo was, you know, the memo is pretty good memo from the standpoint that he took a guess.

Would lose trillions of dollars in millions of lives lives, but you lose plenty of money.

But I couldn't have done it any better because it was about the same time and I closed it down to China using maintain confidence.

He wrote a memo and he was right, and I haven't seen the memo.

I'll see it later on after this, but it didn't matter whether I saw it or not, because I I acted on my own.

I guess I had the same instinct, says Peter Peters, a smart guy.

But he wrote a memo, and I guess you talked to various people about it.

But ultimately I did what the memo more or less what the memo said.

Just about the time the memo came out, I closed it down.

The World Health Organization was very much against.

They actually put out statements about it.

Uh, in all fairness to Joe Biden, he called me xenophobic like I don't like China like China.

Like the Chinese people are phenomenal people.

Since that Joe said that he was wrong and he said that I was right.

But I closed it down and I was called names by some of the morning show host who don't have a clue what they're talking about.

And I was called all sorts of names when I closed it down to China.

Now they try and hide that, you know, the tape of them saying terrible things.

If I didn't do it, if I didn't do that, we would have had hundreds of thousands more people dying.
