The Coronavirus has officially gone global with confirmed cases on every continent except Antartica. CDC officials have warned about potential community cluster outbreaks in the U.S. As the world is facing a pandemic, unsurprisingly, President Trump is downplaying the virus and claims his administration has it all under control. Does it? Can we trust this administration to handle a looming health crisis and be honest with the American people?

Former CIA analyst, spokesman and member of the National Security Council under President Obama, Ned Price joins Honestly Speaking this episode to discuss the differences between how the Obama administration handled Ebola compared to the Trump administration's response to coronavirus. He also discusses the chaos inside the IC community with the recent appointment of Ric Grennell to be acting DNI.
