PETER NAVARRO (WHITE HOUSE TRADE SECRETARY): If you contrast like this complete lockdown where some of the people in the medical community want to just run and hide until the virus is extinguished, that's going to not only take a huge toll on the American economy, it's going to kill many more people than the virus, the China virus, ever would.
CHUCK TODD (ANCHOR): I gotta ask you this question about the president.
