PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT

Reporter: …Were you suggesting that there has been inappropriate use of masks or improper conduct with supplies?

Trump: No, I want the people of New York to check Governor Cuomo, Mayor DeBlasio that when a hospital is getting 10,000 masks goes to 300,000 masks during the same period. And that's a rapid period, I want them to check that.

I hear stories like that all the time.

We're delivering millions and millions of products, and all I'm hearing is 'can I get some more' but when you hear that, and I heard that from one of the best companies in the world at doing this. It's a client. And you heard it, they're going from 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 tops to 300,000 and that's a hospital that's always full.

I think people should check that because there's something going on. I don't think it's hoarding, I think it's maybe worse than hoarding, but check it out, check it out. I don't know, I don't know. I think that's something for other people to figure out. But you don't go from numbers like that.

Now, other equipment, likewise, because we're delivering a lot of ventilators, and by the way we're building, we're buying.

We have almost 10,000 ventilators in the stockpile.

We don't want to run out, and then all of a sudden there's nothing…
