>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW"" ALREADY IN

FOLKS, MY NEXT GUEST TONIGHT IS THE CHIEF WHITE HOUSE

CORRESPONDENT FOR ABC NEWS, PRESIDENT OF THE WHITE HOUSE

CORRESPONDENTS' ASSOCIATION, AND HAS A BRAND-NEW BOOK CALLED,

I NEVER THOUGHT THE ED SULLIVAN THEATER WOULD BE LIKE THIS, BUT

>> Stephen: THE BEATLES PLAYED RIGHT UP HERE.

>> Stephen: AND I THINK ELVIS PRESSLEY WAS IN ONE OF THESE

WE ARE ALL WORKING AT HOME AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN, WHEPT I

>> Stephen: THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE EMMYS BEHIND YOU.

>> Stephen: I WOULD HAVE PUT MINE UP, BUT WE DON'T HAVE

>> Stephen: NOW, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE'S A

MEMBER OF THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' ASSOCIATION WHO

ACTUALLY HAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE CORONAVIRUS.

>> YEAH, WE FOUND OUT ONE OF OUR COLLEAGUES NOT TESTED POSITIVE,

WE ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE TEST RESULTS YET, BUT CAME DOWN WITH

SYMPTOMS, IS A SUSPECTED CASE OF CORONAVIRUS, CAME DOWN WITH THIS

ACTUALLY GOT TESTED EIGHT DAYS AGO, AND AS OF-- AS OF LATE

YESTERDAY, STILL HAD NOT GOTTEN ANY TEST RESULTS BACK.

SO WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, BUT ALL OTHER TESTS HAVE COME BACK

NEGATIVE, AND IT SURE SEEMS LIKE OUR COLLEAGUE HAS CORONAVIRUS.

>> Stephen: THAT IS THAAD SEEMS REALLY SURPRISING THAT YOU

CAN'T GET A QUICKER TEST RESULT FOR SOMEONE WHO IS NOT ONLY IN

AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE, WHICH IS INFORMING THE PUBLIC ABOUT

WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT IS ALSO IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE

PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT, AND MEMBERS OF THE CABINET.

DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW WHAT THE HOLD-UP IS?

AND I'VE BEEN TRYING-- I'VE BEEN ASKING EVERY SINGLE DAY ABOUT

OBVIOUSLY, IT'S OF INTENSE INTEREST TO EVERYBODY WHO IS

YOU MENTIONED THE PUBLIC OFFICIALS, BUT ALSO ALL OF US IN

THE BRIEFING ROOM, ALL OF US THAT WORK AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE WORK IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO, AND WE

IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET THE TEST, AND I HAVE NO REAL EXPLANATION

BUT I'LL TELL YOU, IT IS A LITTLE MADDENING TO HEAR IN

THOSE BRIEFINGS A LOT OF SELF-CONGRATULATIONSES ABOUT HOW

GREAT THE TESTING IS GOING NOW WHEN WE KNOW THAT ONE OF OUR OWN

COLLEAGUES IS WAITING NOW OVER A WEEK TO GET TEST RESULTS.

>> Stephen: THESE AFTERNOON PRESS AVAILABILITIES WITH THE

PRESIDENT AND THE CORONAVIRUS TEAM, THAT THEY'RE DOOR, AS THE

PRESIDENT HIMSELF HAS SAID, HAVE HAD INCREDIBLE RATINGS, PEOPLE

BUT THERE'S ALSO BEEN A QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER IT'S RESPONSIBLE

TO BROADCAST OR TO REPORT ON THESE CORONAVIRUS PRESS

AVAILABILITIES BECAUSE SO MUCH MISINFORMATION IS BEING GIVEN BY

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE PURPOSES OF THESE MEETINGS ARE?

>> WELL, I THINK THAT'S A LEGITIMATE DEBATE.

I THINK THERE ARE TWO QUESTIONS: ONE, SHOULD WE COVER THEM?

I THINK THE ANSWER IS EASY, ABSOLUTELY, IT'S OUR

RESPONSIBILITY TO GO THERE, ASK QUESTIONS OF THE PRESIDENT, ASK

QUESTIONS OF THE PEOPLE LEADING THIS EFFORT FOR THE FEDERAL

BUT WHETHER THEY SHOULD BE CARRIED LIVE AND UNFILTERED I

WHAT WE HAVE TRIED TO DO IS PROVIDE THE CONTEXT.

AND JUST THE OTHER DAY, THE PRESIDENT SAID A NUMBER OF

THINGS THAT ACTUALLY WERE NOT TRUE, AND I CAME ON WITH MY

COLLEAGUE, GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, RIGHT AFTER, AND

WE WENT THROUGH A SERIES OF, "WAIT A MINUTE, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

BUT THERE IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU GET FROM THEM.

THAT'S OUR CHANCE TO ANTHONY FAUCI, TO TALK TO VICE PRESIDENT

PENCE WHO IS LEADING THE EFFORT, DR. BIRKS.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE IT'S TREASURY SECRETARY HAS BEEN IN THERE

SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE ECONOMIC EFFECTS.

IT'S AN IMPORTANT THING FOR US TO BE COVERING.

WHETHER OR NOT IT SHOULD BE CARRIED LIVE OR UNFILTERED I

>> Stephen: ONE OF THE CHALLENGES OF COVERING THE

PRESIDENT IS NOT JUST THE MISINFORMATION THAT MIGHT COME

OUT AT ONE OF THESE PRESS AVAILABILITIES, BUT ALSO HE

WANTS TO MAKE IT ABOUT EXPHIMS WE MIGHT LOSE SIGHT OF THE

ACTUAL INFORMATION WE SHOULD BE LEARNING.
