Department of Faculty of Teacher Training and Education of University

Muhammadiyah of North Sumatera (UMSU). Medan.2020

This research discussed the Speech Act President Donald Trump in

White House, USA, which aimed to find out the kinds of communication

functions in the illocutionary act and to identify the effects contained in the

speech. This research focused on John Searle’s theory about pragmatic,

especially in the speech act. The data were analyzed using the descriptive

qualitative method by applying note-taking as the instrument to find out the

valid data. This research was conducted to find out the kinds of communication

functions in the illocutionary act and perlocutionary act. The finding showed

that the kinds of communication functions in the illocutionary act and

perlocutionary act, there were 7 or 36.84% assertives (stating),3 or 15.78 %

directives ( requesting and recommending), 3 or 15.78 % expressives

(thanking), and 6 or 31.57 % commisives (promising and offering), and

declarations 0% (declaration not found in this research). Then in the

perlocutionary act, it is also found 3 sector effect and responses from the

audience, among the sectors: in terms of agenda oil production market and the

development of new treatment for healing to patient corona and subsidy. It is

concluded that assertive of stating and commisive of promising were usually

used by President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, in the perlocutionary act in his

speech, effective and got responses from the audience after listening to the

speech of President Donald Trump in the White House, USA.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study

Language holds an important role in human communication. It is used to

communicate with others in their daily life. As human beings, people always need

to relate to other human beings. It takes significant elements because they can

provide what they want to say and they can show what they are expressed. They

also use to express their feeling, idea, and thought through convey the language

with others. Language plays a necessary part in the lives all of us and is our most

characteristic of human possession. Based on Ronald Wardhaugh (1972:3),

language is a system of vocal symbols used for human communication.

Communication is very essential in our life because humans can make

communication to form a relationship with a person and other groups, and people

can learn many things through these communications. Language is something

occurring from the inside of the speaking subject manifest in the meaningful

intentional purpose of the individual speaker. Human communication can likewise

send information that consists of the message itself that is helpful for others.

There are some ways to convey information such as newspapers, televisions,

magazines, news, etc. People will deliver their information through speech. It

indicates that to build a relationship with others it is not just face to face, but there

are some media that can help someone to convey the message to people.

2

Speech is the ability to speak in front of the public to express their

opinion or give an idea about something important. When expressing our speech

does not only provide information but also at the same, time to take action. Action

inherent when we are revealing something that is called a speech act. The

audience can evaluate the message of someone’s speech whether it is just a

message of information or the speaker needs audience's action.

The speech act is a type of verbal communication. The words speech acts

are derived from two words they are; speech and act. Speech is the utterance that

occurs and act means action. The advantage of speech act for human

communication is it take apart the language dimension of communication. People

need to have the knowledge to use the language they obtained to communicate.

The relevant use of the speech act acquired through the experiences inside the

culture is really important in the embodiment of the special relationship. Austin

isolates three basic senses in which saying something equals doing something.

These sum to three kinds of acts that are simultaneously performed in Austin 1962

in Kaburise’s book (2011:70).These three kinds of speech acts that row can be

described as follows:

1. Locutionary act

2. Illocutionary act

3. Perlocutionary act

3

According to Searle in Rahardi (2005:35-36): classifies the illocutionary

speech acts in five kinds of utterances each have a communicative function. The

fifth forms of speech that showed the from functions that can be summarized as

follows: (1) Assertives, (2) Directives (3) Expressives (4) Commissives (5)

Declarations.

The students of the English Education Department should be able to

understand the speech act used and how to practice it when they make

conversation with others. If they conversed without practicing the speech act,

there would be a misunderstanding between the speaker and the hearer. Applied

the speech act was very crucial particularly in communication because it was an

act of communication, a speech act progress if the audience identifies by the

speaker's purpose, and the emotion being expressed. Usually, speech acts could be

found in a conversation. The conversation in someone's speech could be an

extraordinary example of speech acts because it represented the complicated case

of speech of specific people did by saying something. One important that mostly

occurred in someone's speech was the message of information of someone

speaking. The researcher could define the message of the information.

This research was chosen to be analyzed speech act theory presented by

Searle in Rahardi (2005:35-36). Based on the explanation above in this research,

the researcher would analyze the kinds of communication function in illocutionary

act and the effect of the perlocutionary act in the speech done by President Donald

Trump in his speech about “Coronavirus Task Force Briefing”.

4

The reason took President Donald Trump as an object of the research

because he is famous and his information is very important nowadays, he

discussed information relate to the coronavirus. Coronavirus is the viral virus that

everyone curious to know the country developments and policies taken in dealing

with this virus.

B. Identification Problem

Based on the background above, the researcher formulated research

questions, they were:

1. The kinds of the illocutionary act in President Donald Trump’s speech about

“Coronavirus Task Force Briefing”,

2. The effect of perlocutionary act in President Donald Trump’s speech about

“Coronavirus Task Force Briefing”.

C. Scope and Limitation

The scope of this study was the speech act and the limitation of this study was

analyzing the kinds of illocutionary act and perlocutionary act used by President

Donald Trump in his speech. To avoid a broader discussion and made this

research manageable, this research was only limited to the analysis of President

Donald Trump's speech about Corona Task Force Briefing.

5

D. The Formulation of Problem

1. What kinds of illocutionary act are used in President Donald Trump’s

speech about “Corona Task Force Briefing?”

2. How are the effect contained in the President Donald Trump’s speech about

“Coronavirus Task Force Briefing?

E. Objective of the Research

Based on the research questions above, the objectives of the research

were:

1. To identify the kinds of illocutionary and perlocutionary act used in

President Donald Trump’s Speech about Coronavirus Task Force Briefing

2. To describe the used each kinds of illocutionary act by Searle’s theory in

President Donald Trump’s Speech about Coronavirus Task Force Briefing

3. To investigate perlocutionary act as the effect contained in

PresidentDonald Trump’s Speech about Coronavirus Task Force Briefing

F. Significances of the Research

1. Theoretical

This research contributes both theoretical and practical in the

development of analysis studies, especially on how to analyze illocutionary and

perlocutionary acts in President Donald Trump’s speech about the Coronavirus

Task Force Briefing.

6

2. Practically

a. Can be applied in some of major of study especially for people who want

to improve their speaking skill.

b. By using speech acts, someone’s speech would be more interesting to

hear and other people would more understanding the meaning of the

speaker said.

c. To make someone able to coordinate with expressions and movements

that were easier during speaking then they must speech act.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

A. Theoritical Framework

1. Definition of Pragmatic

Pragmatics is the study of how language is used in communication.

Therefore, in pragmatics, we study about speaker’s meaning that is how meaning

is communicated based on its context. Pragmatics is concerned with the study of

meanings as communicated by a speaker (or researcher) and interpreted by a

listener (or reader). It means that more to do with the analysis of what people

mean by their utterances whether the words or phrases it those utterances might

mean by themselves.

Pragmatics is the study of speaker meaning stated by Yule (1996).

Pragmatic encompasses speech act theory, conversational implicature, talk in

interaction, and other approaches to language behavior in philosophy. Pragmatics

has something to do with the fact that users use language in context and that

language is restricted to culture. He also added that culture and context play roles

in communication. It is because without contexts, a hearer does not understand

what a speaker intends to say by his or her words. Pragmatics is viewed as the

study of language use in particular communicative contexts or situations of

necessity; it would take knowledge of the message being communicated or the

8

speech act being performed; the participants involved; their intention, knowledge

of the world and the impact of these on their interaction.

Every word but also the way they perform the utterance. Pragmatics is a

branch of linguistics that is a study about how context contributes to the meaning.

Pragmatics consists of speech act, deixis, conversational implicature, cooperative

principles, and politeness principles. Pragmatics itself explains how using

language in context, and the way people produce and understanding the meanings

through language. In other words, pragmatics tells about people's intended

meanings, their assumptions, their purposes or goals, and the kinds of actions.

Poultridge (2006:53), pragmatics is the study of meaning in relation to

the context in which a person is speaking or writing. This includes social,

situational, and textual context. It also includes background knowledge context;

that is, what people know about each other and about the world. Pragmatics

assumes that when people communicate with each other, they normally follow

some kind of cooperative principle; that is, they have a shared understanding of

how they should cooperate in their communications. The pragmatic component

was later extended to include several heterogeneous phenomena that exhibit a

direct effect of speech act use on the form and interpretation of sentences.

2. Speech Act Theory

Mc Crthy (1991) stated that the Speech act deals with the utterance to

perform a speech act. Based on Grundy (2008), he stated that there are three

categories or dimensions of speech acts. Therefore, when people say something,

9

they can involve in the three dimensions that are locutionary acts, illocutionary

acts, and perlocutionary acts. The speech act theory is a reputable pragmatic

concept that has inspired research since its first appearance in 1962 until now. The

historical tracers of this theory state that it has first engendered by Wittgenstein,

the German philosopher, but has given some linguistic tint by Austin and Searle,

later on.

Exercitives Directives Interrogatives Directives Invitationals

Exercitives Authoritatives

Verdictives Declaratives Verdictives Verdictives

Operatives Effectives

Although there are subtle differences in perception in the various

categories, what all the outlines have attempted to do was to come up with ways

of describing uses of language or constructing some kind of conceptual

framework to interpret the various ways that language functions in people’s lives.

This was the same task that Austin (1962) and Searle (1969) engaged in when

Austin wrote his book How to Do Things with Words, mentioned earlier, which

Searle (1969) expanded in his book, Speech Acts.

2.1 Speech Act Theory by Austin

Speech act in the philosophy of language and linguistic is something

expressed by an individual that not only presents information but performs an

action well. From the history of the positivist philosophy of language, the

10

language was viewed primarily as a way of making a factual assertion. The work

of J.L.Austin, particularly His How to Do Things with Words, led philosophers to

pay more attention to the non-declarative uses of language. The terminology he

introduced, especially the notions “locutionary act”, “illocutionary act”, and

“perlocutionary act” occupied an important role in what was then to become the

“study of a speech act”. All of these three acts, but especially the “illocutionary

act” are nowadays commonly classified as “speech act”.

Austin (1962) realizes that viewing sentences as an act, is a novel way, as

sentences have always been seen as describing world facts. More clarity,

therefore, was needed in what ways a sentence or discourse might be said to be

performing actions. Austin isolates three basic senses in which saying something

equals doing something. This amount to three kinds of acts that are

simultaneously performed Austin 1962 in Kaburise’s book (2011:70).

1) Locutionary act: a complex act comprising several types of actions:

phonological, syntactic and semantic, hence it is the uttering of a sentence with

determinate sense and reference (the actual words uttered).

2) Illocutionary act: what is usually meant when we make an utterance is that

we accomplish some specific social Evaluation of Communicative Competence 71

act, for example, the making of a statement, an offer, or a promise, by virtue of the

conventional force associated with it.

3) Perlocutionary act: the bringing about of effects on the audience by means

of uttering the sentence, such effect being special to the circumstance of utterance

(the effect of the illocution on the hearer).

11

Besides, Austin also classifies an illocutionary force into the following

types: Austin’s classification is best seen as an attempt to give a general picture of

illocutionary acts: what types of illocutionary act one can generally perform in

uttering a sentence. Austin in Kaburise’s book (2011:73-74) distinguishes five

general functions of language: (Verdictive), exert influence or exercise power

(Exercitive), assume obligation or declare intention (Commissive), adopt the

attitude, or express feeling (Behabitive), and clarify reasons, argument, or

communication (Expositive).

1) Verdictive are typified by the giving of verdicts, as the name implies, by a jury,

arbitrator or umpire. But they do not have to be final as they may be an estimate,

reckoning, or appraisal.

2) Exercitives are the exercising of powers, rights or influences. Examples are

appointing, voting, ordering,advising, and so on.

3) Commissives are typified by promising or giving an undertaking; they commit

one to do a certain action, but also include declarations, intention, and so on.

4) Behabitives are miscellaneous groups that have to do with attitudes and social

behaviors. Examples are apologizing, congratulating, commending, cursing, and

so on.

5) Expositives make clear how one’s utterances fit into a general argument or

discussion. They include phrases like, ‘I reply’, ‘I assume’, and ‘I postulate’.

12

2.2 Speech Act Theory by Kreidler

Speech acts differ in their purposes, whether they deal with real or

potential facts, prospective or retrospective, in the role of speaker or addressee in

these facts, and of course infelicity conditions. According to Kreidler, there are

seven kinds of speech act in Kreidler’s book (1998:183).

1) Assertive utterances. In the assertive function speakers and researchers use

language to tell what they know or believe; assertive language is concerned with

facts. The purpose is to inform.

For example

I voted for Aaronson in the last election.

Most plastics are made from soy beans.

Cape Ann Lighthouse is amile from the beach.

This is language concerned with knowledge, with cognition. It deals with

data, what exists or existed, what is happening or has happened— or not. So

assertive utterances are either true or false, and generally, they can be verified or

falsified—not necessarily at the time of the utterance or by those who hear them,

but in a general sense, they are subject to empirical investigation. The above

sentences are indirect assertives. Direct assertive utterances start with I or we and

an assertive verb.

2) The performative utterance is speech acts that bring about the state of affairs

they name are called performative: bids, blessings, firings, baptisms, arrests,

marrying, declaring a mistrial. Performative utterances are valid if spoken by

13

someone right to make them is accepted and in circumstances that are accepted as

appropriate. The verbs include bet, declare, baptize, name, nominate, pronounce.

For example:

I bid three no-trump.

We accept your offer.

I declare this meeting adjourned.

3) Verdictive utterances are speech acts in which the speaker makes an assessment

or judgment about the acts of another, usually the addressee. These include

ranking, assessing, appraising, condoning. Verdictive verbs include accuse,

charge, excuse, thank in the explicit frame I ____ you of/for _____-ing.

For example :

I accuse you of putting on airs.

I congratulate you for performing so well.

4) Expressive utterance springs from the previous actions—or failure to act—of

the speaker, or perhaps the present result of those actions or failures. Expressive

utterances are thus retrospective and speaker-involved.

For example :

I acknowledge that I didn’t do what I should have done.

We admit that we were mistaken.

I apologize for having disturbed you

5) Directive utterances are those in which the speaker tries to get the addressee to

perform some act or refrain from performing an act. Thus a directive utterance has

the pronoun you as an actor, whether that word is present in the utterance or not.

14

For example :

(You) wait here.

Turn to page 164.

Don’t (any of you) miss this opportunity to save

6) Comissive utterance is speech acts that commit a speaker to a course of action.

Commissive verbs are illustrated by agreeing, ask, offer, refuse, swear, all with

the following infinitive.

For example :

I promise to be on time.

We volunteer to put up the decorations for the dance.

7) Phatic utterances is to establish rapport between members of the same society.

For example :

“How’re you doing?”

“I’m glad to meet you”

“So nice to see you again”

2.3 Speech Act Theory by Searle

Searle is Austin’s student, was unimpressed with the proposed

classification on some points, among which were critical of Austin for operating

with overlapping criteria (for example, the speech act of ‘describing’ belongs at

the same time to the category of ‘verdictives’ and in that of ‘expositives’) and for

having incompatible elements within the categories. Searle (1969) stated objects

to the inclusion of elements in Austin’s categories that do not satisfy the

15

definitions of the category. Searle (1975: 28) also had misgivings about Austin’s

practice of making speech acts dependent on verbs claiming that ‘differences in

illocutionary verbs are a good guide but by no means a sure guide to differences in

illocutionary acts’.

According to Searle (1969:17-18), the speech act or acts in the utterances

of a sentence are in general a function of the meaning of the sentence. The

meaning of a sentence does not in all cases uniquely determine what speech act is

performed in a given utterance of that sentence, for a speaker may mean more

than what he says, but it is always in principle possible for him to say exactly

what he means.

Searle in Rahardi (2005:35-36), classifies the communication function in

the illocutionary act divided into five kinds. The fifth forms of speech that show

the functions that can be summarized as follows:

1) Assertives, the form said that binds speakers at the truth of a proposition

disclosed. Such as: Stating is something that someone says or writes

officially, or an action done to express an opinion, for example: “it aims to

develop students skill in the art”. Suggesting is to mention an idea, possible

plan, or action for other people to consider, for example: “Why don‟t you sit

down and relax for a while? It must be 15 tiring days for you”. Boasting is to

speak too proudly or happily about what you have done or what you own, for

example: “And I don't know if I'm going to be boasting now, but in 2006

alone, we won three international awards”. Complaining is to say that

something is wrong or not satisfactory, for example: “Tom is complaining to

16

the manager”. Claiming is to say that something is true or is a fact, although

you cannot prove it and other people might not believe it, for example: “They

claim that they are battling a dastardly conspiracy”.

2) Directives, namely the form of speech intended speakers to create the effect

that the hearer takes action. Ordering is a request to make, supply, or deliver

food or goods, for example: “I order you to report to the commanding

officer”. Commanding is having the authority to give orders, for example,

“Be sure you have already shopped around for the best price before you make

your purchase”. Requesting is the act of politely or officially asking for

something, for example: “Please lend me your book”. Advising is to give

someone advice, for example: “Meanwhile he had been appointed physician

advising on the establishment of a silk factory”. Recommending is to suggest

that someone or something would be good or suitable for a particular job or

purpose, or to suggest that a particular action should be done, for

example:“We recommend that all application letters be submitted before

December 2012”.

3) Expressives, a form of speech that serves to express or show the

psychological attitudes of speakers towards a situation. Such as Thanking is

to express to someone that you are pleased about or are grateful for something

that they have done, for example: “After thanking his benefactor and

dropping off his bike for repairs, he stopped for a quick bite to eat”.

Congratulating is to praise someone and say that you approve of or are

pleased about a special or unusual achievement, for example:

17

“Congratulations on the birth of your lovely baby son”. Pardoning is to

forgive someone for something that have said or done. This word is often

used in polite expressions, for example: “Pardon sir, Could you explain

again?” Blaming is to say or think that someone or something did something

wrong or is responsible for something bad happening, for example: “I think

you are to blame”. Praising is to express admiration or approval of the

achievements or characteristics of a person or thing, for example, “Your dress

is beautiful”. Condoling is to express sympathy with a person who is

suffering sorrow, misfortune, or grief, for example: “I was heartbroken by this

sad news”.

4) Commissives, namely, the nature of speech serves to express promise or

offer. Such Promising is something that is promising shows signs that it is

going to be successful or enjoyable, for example: “I'm not promising any

miracles. We got a lot to do to prepare the world for Hazel”. Vowing is to

make a determined decision or promise to do something, for example, “Tom

vowed to do everything within his power to protect the local wildlife”.

Offering is something that you give or offer to someone, for example: “To be

fair, his father hadn't made things any better by offering money to Alex and

not his sister”.

5) Declaration is the form of speech utterances linking content with the fact.

The classification of declaration are followed. Resigning is to give up a job

or position by telling your employer that you are leaving, for example: “I

would be grateful if you confirm the acceptance of my resignation”.

18

Dismissing is to decide that something or someone is not important and not

worth considering, for example: “We'll dismiss class early today”.

Christening is a Christian ceremony at which a baby is given a name and

made a member of the Christian Church, for example: “Six weeks after her

christening the princess was vaccinated, this being the first occasion on

which”. Naming is the activity of saying publicly that a person, company, etc.

has behaved in a bad or illegal way, for example: “He readily backed the

naming of underperforming schools”. Appointing is to choose someone

officially for a job or responsibility, for example: “They appointed Mr. White

as manager”. Excommunicating is when the Christian Church, especially the

Roman Catholic Church, excommunicates someone; it refuses to give that

person communion and does not allow them to be involved in the Church, for

example: “He was excommunicated”. Sentencing is a group of words,

usually containing a verb that expresses a thought in the form of a statement,

question, instruction, or exclamation and starts with a capital letter when

written, for example: “I sentence you to ten years in prison”.

Searle in Kaburise’s book (2011:80), also classifyy Speech act categories

as follow. Representatives: this is assertions that represent the state of affairs, or

as Mey in Kaburise (2011) claims that they present reality. Speakers‟ purpose in

performing representatives is to commit them to the belief that the propositional

content of the utterance is true. In an attempt to describe the world the speaker

says how something is, or tries to make „the words match the world‟ to use

Searle‟s expression (1969: 3). They seen, for example, in assertions, statements,

19

claims and suggestions, they can be either true or false. They seen, for example, in

assertions, statements, claims and suggestions, they can be either true or false.

For examples:

The simple present tense is used more often than present perfect tense.

I live in Sibasa in the Northern Province.

Potatoes are very nutritional.

There are dark clouds in the sky; it may rain tomorrow.

Commissives: These committed the speaker, at varying degrees, to some

particular future course of action. Very similar to Austin‟s class of the same

name, these acts place obligations on the speakers. They may be in the form of

promises, offers, threats, and vows.For examples:

Touch the dial one more time and you will regret it.

If it is a fine day tomorrow, we will go to the beach.

Would you like to come to the film with me?

I will pass that examination, if it is the last thing I do.

Directives: These speech acts are intended to get the listener to act. These

include commands, requests, invitations, dares, challenges, and so on, as in:

For examples:

Please join us for dinner on Friday.

Do not barge into my room.

May I borrow your trailer to transport the tiles I bought from CTM?

I dare you to go into the field where the bull is.

20

Expressives: These are Speech acts, which indicate the speaker‟s

psychological state of mind or attitude to some prior action or state of affairs.

They are seen in greetings, apologies, congratulations, condolences, and

expressions of giving thanks. The following sentences are some examples:

Wow! That was a brilliant speech.

Oh dear, I am sorry about the incident.

I am so glad to meet you. John has talked a lot about you.

I really appreciate the offer you made, thanks.

Declaratives or Performatives: These utterances are those which bring

about the state of affairs that they name. They take the form of blessings,

christenings, weddings, firing, and so on. Declaratives are typically broadcast

within society within a social group and rely on their success on a speaker being

sanctioned by the community, institution, committee, or even a single person in

the group to perform such acts under stipulated specialized conditions. Provide the

stipulated conditions are met the act is deemed to have been successful.

For examples:

You are hired!

I pronounce this amusement park opened.

I declare this committee adjourned.

Richly bless you and your family.

3. President Donald Trump’s Speech

President Donald Trump intervened in giving speeches about the

coronavirus which has become a pandemic for many countries. The coronavirus

certainly weakens the country's economy which is feared that in the future it will

have a devastating effect on people's lives, therefore President Donald Trump

discusses the policies to be carried out in the industrial sector to maintain the

country's economy.

In his speech this time, he said over the weekend they would even be

possible to discuss with a few airlines or all airlines. He thought it would be a

very acceptable package. A very large packages and packages that are very

acceptable and will be good for their country. The airline is good for many people.

He spoke to President Russia, Vladimir Putin; the king of Russia Saudi Arabia,

King Salman. They have a big talk about oil production and OPEC and make it so

that their industry does it better and the oil industry is better than doing this now

the numbers are so low that there will be Layoffs all over the world of course

layoffs in their country don't want that to happen they build extraordinary energy

business in the United States of America.

B. Relevance of Study

Some previous researcher inspires this research. ZulfaTutuarima, dkk

(2018), conducted the first research. The title of this study is An Analysis of

Speech Act Used in London Has Fallen Movie. The study aimed to find out the

kinds of speech acts used in London Has Fallen Movie and to find out the way of

22

speech act and the classifications of the illocutionary act used in London Has

Fallen Movie. The researcher uses the theory Searle (1975) argued that the speech

act defined as an action changing the universe of discourse when a speaker utters

it, and a recipient grasps. Searle divides five categories for Illocutionary Act that

is Assertive (Representative), directive, expressive, commisive, declaration. The

researcher finds there are 76 utterances of speech act used in London Has Fallen

Movie, which is the most dominant, is the illocutionary act consist of 37

utterances. There are 99 utterances of the classifications of the illocutionary act,

and the most dominant categories are directive with 32 utterances and expressive

with 23 utterances.

Try Fahmi Umar (2016) conducted the second research. The title of this

study is The Analysis of Speech Act of President Joko Widodo at APEC Forum.

This study aimed to find the kinds of communication functions in the illocutionary

act and perlocutionary act and to identify the effect contained in the speech. The

researcher use theory Searle in Rahardi (2005:35-36), classifies the

communication function in the illocutionary act divided into five kinds. They are

assertive, directive, expressive, commisive, declaration. The data were analyzed

using descriptive qualitative research by using the note-taking method. The

researcher found the result of communication function in the illocutionary act and

perlocutionary act. There were 9 assertive (stating), 0 directive, 2 expressive

(thanking), and commisive (offering and promise), and 0 declaration (declaration

not found in the research). Meanwhile in the perlocutionary act in the speech is

23

affected got responses from the audience after listening to the speech of President

JokoWidodo in APEC, Beijing.

Based on the previous findings above, this research had similarities and

differences. The similarities were all of the researches, including this research,

study about speech act. The difference between the previous findings with this

research was the focus analysis and object of research. In the first previous

finding, Zulfa focused to find out the kinds of speech act used in London Has

Fallen Movie and to find out the way of speech act and the classifications of

illocutionary act used in London Has Fallen Movie. And the second previous

finding Try Fahmi focused on analyzing the kinds of communication function in

the illocutionary act and perlocutionary act, and to identify the effect of contained

in the speech of President JokoWidodo in APEC, Beijing. While this research

focused on analyzing the kinds of communication function in the illocutionary act,

the object of this research was President Donald Trump’s Speech about Corona

Task Force Briefing.

C. Conceptual of Framework

Speech acts are the study of the intended meaning of the utterances spoken

and written. The importance of understanding the various aspects of speech acts is

necessary so that communication can well establish. The existence of

understanding between the speaker and the listener is a very important thing that

will indicate that the communication is running smoothly. Moreover, the most

significant things in a speech act are the message of the speaker's intention, so the

24

hearer understands a message from the speaker. It is a kind of verbal

communication. In the use of language, there are at least three kinds of speech

acts. These three kinds of speech acts are Locutionary act, Illocutionary acts, and

perlocutionary acts. This study is intended to find out the communication

function in illocutionary used by President Donald Trump in his speech about

“Coronavirus Task Force Briefing”

Illocutionary act is an act performed in saying something, making a

statement or promise, thanking, asking a question, etc. Alternatively, an

illocutionary act is performed via the communicative force of an utterance such as

making a statement, offer, explanation, or for some other communicative purpose.

Based on Searle's theory, there are classifies the communication function in the

illocutionary act divided into five kinds. They are assertives, directives,

expressives, commisives, and declaration. There is a specific function part of the

five classifications in the illocutionary act. In the assertive such as (stating,

suggesting, boasting, complaining, and claiming), in the directive such as

(ordering, commanding, advising, and recommending), in the expressive such as

(thanking, congratulating, pardoning, blaming), in the comissive such as

(promising, vowing, and offering), in the declaration such as (resigning,

dismissing, christening, naming, appointing, excommunicating, sentencing).

The aims of the study comprise the following: a) finding out the

communication in illocutionary on the speech, b) specify every functioning part in

each classification in the communication function in the illocutionary act.

CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH

A. Method of The Research

This research used a descriptive qualitative research method. The

qualitative approach to research was focused with the subjective assessment of

attitudes, opinions, and behavior. Research in such a situation was a function of

the researcher’s insights and impressions. Such an approach to research that

generates results either in non-quantitative form or in the form that was not

subjected to rigorous quantitative analysis.

Qualitative research was a research that procedures descriptive data in

the form of the written word or oral from a subject and its behavior could be

observed, there for the goal, the research was an individual understanding and its

background completely. This research focused to find kinds of illocutionary act

that contained in President Donald Trump’s speech and used qualitative research

by Searle theory.

B. Data Sources

The data sources of the research used the transcript of the speech by President

Donald Trump at the News Now Live submitted on 09 April 2020, in White House,

United State America (USA) as the primary data and the used the article to find the

27

effect of contained in President’s speech as the secondary data. This video was

downloaded from youtube on Friday, April 10- 2020 .The video length from

President Donald Trump was 22.16 minutes.

C. Instrument of The Research

This research used note-taking as an instrument of research. According to

Nguyen (2006), Note-taking recognized as a critical activity enhances learning in

a learning context. Notes are essential for recalling what has been heard or seen

and can promote reflection afterward.

D.Procedure of Collecting Data

The steps in collecting data are:

(1) Browsing videos selected from Youtube,

(2) Transcribing of word,

(3) Printing the data,

(4) Watching the video and read the script of the speech by the President

Donald Trump’s speech about corona task force briefing,

E. Technique of Analyzing Data

The data were analyzed by using the speech act theory from Searle. It

could use to identify the kinds of illocutionary acts produced by President Donald

Trump’s Speech about the coronavirus task force briefing and to identify the

effects contained in the speech. According to Miles and Huberman (1994:10), the

analysis could be defined as consisting of three current flows of activity that was

data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. This research

used Miles and Huberman’s theory in analyzing the data, so there were three steps

to do, they were: were:

1. Data Reduction

Data reduction became the first step to do in analyzing the data in this

research. Data reduction refers to the process of selecting, focusing, simplifying,

abstracting, and transforming the data in written up field notes or transcripts. In

this step, the data was in the form of video and transcription of Presidents Donald

Trump’s speech about “Corona Task Force Briefing”. Based on Miles’ theory, the

first step of analyzing the data was done by watching the video, listening

carefully, and checking the data by reading the transcription to see the context.

Next, selecting the sentences or utterances of President Donald Trump, this

contained the speech act to be analyzed. After that, categorizing the data based on

the illocutionary and perlocutionary act. Took some notes related to the theory and

found in the transcription of Presidents Donald Trump’s speech about “Corona

Task Force Briefing” and also made summaries to make it easy in analyzing the

data and continuing the next steps.

29

2. Data Display

The second step data display. In this step, the researcher showed or

displays the data that was contained the illocutionary and perlocutionary act, not

only as generally but specifically and clearly. This research showed which

sentences or utterances contains speech act, what categories of the speech act in

those sentence, it was the illocutionary and perlocutionary act and then extract the

meaning of the of illocutionary and perlocutionary in Presidents Donald Trump’s

speech about “Corona Task Force Briefing” in 2020

3. Conclusion Drawing

After finished doing data reduction and data display, the last step was

concluding. This step concludes the result of the research based on the research

problems and speech act theory that were used.

2 Directives 3 15.78 %

3 Expressive 3 15.78 %

5 Declarations 0 0 %

Total 19 100 %

2. Perlocutionary Act

The speech delivered by President Donald Trump not only declared the

data, the researcher got some effects or responses from the audience after hearing

the speech delivered by President Donald Trump in White House, USA. , among

others:

a. In term of agenda oil production market

In minutes (01.10), the effect of this speech can be seen in the article of

Kontan.co.id in April 2020, OPEC and its allies, led by Russia, agreed to cut their

oil production by more than a fifth. They hope that the United States and other oil

producers can join forces in supporting oil prices, which are being pressured by

39

the coronavirus crisis. Citing Reuters, the cut in oil production by OPEC and its

allies (OPEC+) reached 10 million barrels per day (bpd) or 10% of global supply.

In minutes (05.22), the effect in this datum can be seen in the article of

Farmasetika Magazine, in June 2020, the pharmaceutical company from the

United States, Pfizer, believes that the COVID-19 vaccine can be ready by the end

The Times of Israel said Bourla according to a report from CNBC-TV18

(29/5/202), "If all goes well, and the stars align, we'll have enough evidence of

safety and efficacy so we can have the vaccine around the end of October”. Pfizer

is working with German company Biotech on several possible vaccines in Europe

and the United States. .Several pharmaceutical companies and medical institutions

around the world have been trying to develop a vaccine for COVID-19 since the

dollars to support the economy. This funding was aimed at helping households

and entrepreneurs and increasing the ability of states and local governments to

C. Research Finding

After analyzing the data found in the speech delivered by President

Donald Trump’s, there were some findings found. The first finding showed that

kinds of illocutionary act according to John Searle's theory. They were assertives,

directives, expressive, commisives, and declaration.

The second finding showed that the speech in the video covered all of the

iilocutionary acts, they are assertives, directives, expressive, commisives, and

declaration but the proportion was unbalanced because the assertive and

commisives are dominant while the researcher could not find the declaration

utterance in the video. The highest level percentage belong to, the assertives

utterance gets 7 out of 19 test or 36.84 %. The directives utterance gets 3 out of 19

or 15.78 %, The expressive utterance gets 3 out of 19 or 15.78 %, the

commissives utterance gets 6 out of 19 or 31.57 and the declaration utterance

gets 0 out of 19 or 0%. Therefore, this research found that dominant and not

dominant speech utterances of illocutionary act and the researcher find three

responses from the audience as the perlocutionary act, the effect of Donald

trump’s speech.

41

D.Discussion

In this research, the speech delivered by President Donald Trump who

had an appropriate context was analyzed. According to Paltridge (2006:53),

pragmatics is the study of meaning about the context in which a person is

speaking or writing. Pragmatics assumes that when people communicate with

each other, they normally follow some kind of cooperative principle; that is, they

have a shared understanding of how they should co-operate in their

communications.

In this discussion, the researcher identified the data which was taken

from the speech by President Donald Trump in the White House, USA by using

Searle‟s theory as a technique data analysis. In Searle‟s theory in Rahardi

(2005:35-36). There are three kinds of speech act, they are; locutionary acts,

illocutionary acts, and perlocutionary acts. Locutionary acts is a speech act with

words, phrases, and sentences, the illocutionary act was an act of doing something

with a purpose and a specific function anyway, and perlocutionary act was a

follow-growing influence (effect) to the hearer. In this study the researcher only

examined the 5 functions of communication in the existing act illocutionary, they

were assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. The researcher

also examined the effects of an utterance that is a perlocutionary act.

This study only focused on the note-taking test. There are 22.16 minutes

in this video and include public speaking. It showed an unbalanced number of the

illocutionary act because the illocutionary act that consisted of the assertives

utterance gets 7 out of 19 tests or 36. 84 %. The directives utterance gets 3 out of

42

19 or 15.78 %, The expressive utterance gets 3 out of 19 or 15.78 %, the

commissives utterance gets 6 out of 19 or 31.57 and the declaration utterance gets

0 out of 19 or 0%.

Finally, it showed the unbalance number of the illocutionary act because

the most dominant utterances are assertives and commisives. The most dominant

of note-taking a test in illocutionary act, directives and expressive were balance

utterance, while the researcher could not find the declaration utterances in the

speech and not all of the illocutionary act in the speech got responses from the

audience there was only three number of perlocutionary act.

CHAPTER V

CONCUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

A.Conclusion

The kinds of speech were three, they were locutionary act, illocutionary

act, and perlocutionary act, but the researcher just focused analyze the

illocutionary act and perlocutionary act that conclude in the video. The

illocutionary act of John Searle’s theory in note-taking to the President Donald

Trump’s speech. They were assertives, directives, expressive, commisives,

declaration, and perlocutionary acts in the speech act.

Based on finding and discussion, this study just focused on analyzing

speech act in speech act in kinds of communication function in illocutionary act

and perlocutionary act contained in the speech of President Donald Trump’s

speech. The first result of this research were the assertives utterance gets 7 out of

19 tests or 36. 84 %. The directives utterance gets 3 out of 19 or 15.78 %, The

expressive utterance gets 3 out of 19 or 15.78 %, the commissives utterance gets 6

out of 19 or 31.57 and the declaration utterance gets 0 out of 19 or 0% in

illocutionary act. There were also 19 kinds of communication function in

illocutionary acts and 3 (three) perlocutionary acts in Donald Trump’s speech. In

The second result of this research was the effect that contained in the

speech by President Donald Trump. Then, the effect of perlocutionary act, the

writer found 3 sectors effect or response from the audience, They were in term of

agenda oil production market, the development of new treatment for healing to

patient corona and subsiding. Based on the explanation above, the researcher

concluded that the perlocutionary act in this speech has the effect or response

from the audience after hearing a speech by President Donald Trump in the White

B.Suggestions

Based on the finding of the research, some suggestions are given to the

students and other researchers.

1. For the students' English, it is better to know and understand the

illocutionary and perlocutionary act in the speech video. It is Donald

Trump’s speech regarding the Coronavirus Task for briefing. Not only

read it but also must understand the meaning and the purpose to master the

illocutionary act an understanding of the effect from the audience or hearer

as the perlocutionary act in the speech. How kinds each in the illocutionary

act. Moreover, it would be better if the illocutionary and perlocutionary act

that must remember not only one.

45

2. For the other researchers who are interested in discourse, to develop for

analyzing the pragmatics in the movie and other video analysis of the linguistic

study, not only speech but also the other media as an object such as

conversations, movie, a newspaper can also be the object of the other discourse

analysis of the linguistic study.

3. Based on this research, the researcher hopes this research will be usefull for the

readers and other researchers for future improvement of discourse analysis,

especially the kinds of illocutionary act and the perloctuionary act as the

responses from the hearer that used in the speech.

Transcript of Donald Trump’s speech about coronavirus task force

briefing on 09 April, 2020, in White House, United State America (USA).

ofTreasury Steve minuchin and Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao on

proposals regarding the airlines and the airline business and we're very working

very closely with a lot of different people will be probably putting out aproposal

and giving them some of the details from some of the very powerful details over

the weekend it's moving along quickly the airline business has been hit very hard

as everybody knows and we are going to be in a position to do a lot to help them

so that they keep their employees and they save their businesses and that'll be

taking place I think you can say over the weekend we may even have discussions

with some of the airlines or all of the airlines over the weekend and I think it's

going to be a very acceptable package it's a very big Package and a very

acceptable package it'll be good for our country good for the airlines good for a lot

of people likewise I just spoke with the President of Russia Vladimir Putin and the

king of Saudi Arabia King Salman and we had a big talk as to oil production and

OPEC and making it so that our industry does well and the oil industry does better

than it's doing right now it's the numbers are so low that there'll be layoffs all over

the world they'll be certainly layoffs in this country we don't want that to happen

we built a great great energy business in the United States so we have tens of

thousands of jobs we had a very good talk we'll see what happens but as you know

OPEC met today and I would say they're getting close to a deal we'll soon find out

so that was a conversation we just had so we've had a busy hour and a half and let

me begin by expressing my sincere gratitude to the American people millions of

Americans are making profound and difficult sacrifices there lives because they

know it will save the lives of countless others and that's exactly what it's doing

you see what's happening and where we are where we stand and hopefully we're

going to be opening up we can quote opening very very very very soon I hope

together our people are writing one of the most noble chapters in the proud history

of our nation Americans are also encouraged to learn that Boris Johnson Prime

Minister has been moved out of intensive care that's a tremendous statement and

we continue to pray for him and his fast recovery that's a very positive

development as the New York metropolitan area continues its battle against the

outbreak the full power of the federal government is there to support them as you

know the Javits Center has now been fully converted into a 3,000 bid hospital one

of the largest anywhere in the country and by the incredible professionals I have

to say the the Corps of Engineers what they can do is just incredible they've done

a fantastic job in their building nationwide 21 temporary hospitals and care

facilities adding 17,000 hospital beds and they did that all within a very short

period of time it's incredible what they've done Army Corps of Engineers and

FEMA has been fantastic our sweeping airlift operation to keep doctors and

nurses applied with protective equipment project air bridge continues to expand

with more than 24 flights already completed and 49 additional flights now

scheduled in the near future so that's been very successful in that gear and those

outfits are being handed out as they arrived they're going directly to point the

American medical system continues to perform beyond our highest expectations

reminding us that the United States is blessed with the most advanced health care

and the most skilled health care workers anywhere in the planet other countries

are looking to what we're doing and our testing operation has now become far and

away the most sophisticated and the best anywhere and we want to thank all of the

heroes or the frontlines as they fight to save American lives we're at the top of the

hill pretty sure we're at the top of the hill and now we're going downward in some

cases we've already started that process earlier today I spoke with hundreds of

mental health leaders and advocates from around the country to discuss the vital

work and the vital work they're doing we had the top doctors in the country some

international doctors mental health a big factor not only as the virus inflicted

immense physical suffering on many people but also mental and emotional

suffering as well even though we're staying physically apart no American is alone

and we're all in this together but the mental health doctors and experts the very

great call it was a very interesting call they're working very hard we're also seeing

encouraging signs in our race to develop breakthrough treatments and therapies

Pfizer revealed today that it has found a promising new treatment that might

prevent the virus from replicating and that hopes it hopes to begin testing in

clinical trials very soon it's going to be very very soon they have great great

feelings for this particular therapy and they think that a lot of good things are

happening through the FDA's coronavirus treatment acceleration program 19

therapies and treatments are now being tested and 26 more are in the active

planning or clinical trials so we have 19 therapies being tested currently and 26

more are in the active planning for clinical trials that's a big statement that's a lot

trials for Gilead anti rival drug remedy severe continued and the company has also

expanded emergency use for new patients getting good early results by the way

the companies that manufacture hydroxychloroquine are massively ramping up

production as you know many people are recommending strongly z-pak beheaded

the z-pak and also zinc and the federal government continues to build our

stockpiles and distribute millions of doses for doctors to use as they see fit and I'm

pleased to inform you we're just having a lot of good things are happening but

we'll have to see how that all works out but we have we've purchased and we have

stockpiled millions and millions of doses and we're distributing it some states

wanted very badly Michigan we just sent a lot to Michigan and other areas

reporting today that we passed 2 million tests completed in the United States first

time most anywhere in the country it's a milestone for our country it's a milestone

anywhere nobody's done anywhere close are some tests are highly sophisticated

and highly accurate at the same time we're making important progress on the

economic front of this war and a few moments Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia

will explain new steps that we're taking to it your American workers swiftly

receive unemployment andpaid leave benefits and that employers protect the

health and safety of all workers including essential workers on the job working

very very closely with workers and with employers to provide for the economic

relief the Federal Reserve announced this morning that it will provide up to 2.3

trillion dollars in support to businesses states and local governments six hundred

billion dollars in loans will be available for mid-sized businesses with up to ten

thousand employees and five hundredbillion dollars will be available for states

counties with over two million residents and cities with a population of over 1

million my administration is also working with Congress to replenish the very

successful incredibly successful the way it's going paycheck protection program

which is allowing hundreds of thousands of small businesses to keep their workers

on the payroll meaning it'll keep those businesses open we need both Democrats

and Republicans to come together to get this legislation complete and it looks like

it's on its way but we need both and it should be for people that are working for

the workers and if you look and you see we have a lot of people that are affected

by that and it's a very positive development so we have to get a bipartisan

approval of that and hopefully that'll happen today the Department of Education is

also announcing the availability of more than six billion dollars in emergency

grant funding to assist college students impacted by the cancellation of classes and

the suspension of housing a lot of people had a lot of things suspended housing is

one of them previously we waive student loan payments for six months so student

loan payments have been waived for six months and we'll discuss it after that may

go further our citizens for a period of time it's also United our entire nation I think

I can say like almost never before Americans are moving forward with common

purpose and shared resolve determined to vanquish the virus and lift our nationwe

are supremely confident in the magnificent future that awaits theAmerican people

and with that before I invite our vice president and our great vice president and

Jeanne Scalia to speak we'll take a few questions and then I'm going back into

negotiations on oil and on Airlines yeah please compensation with President Putin

in the key you had a very good conversation did you organize that fall and do they

understand the problems we causing yeah yeah you know there's a lot of there's a

lot of there's so much production nobody even knows what to do with it that's how

it's working and Saudi Arabia and as you know Russia it's well known that were

producing a lot and they were perhaps fighting with each other over the

production and the amount of oil being produced and frankly there's not enough

room to even store it our storage is now full gonna be very soon our strategic

national storage is I said there's a great time to fill it up load it up with oil that

frankly is at pricing thatnobody's ever seen before I don't think we've seen this

probably since the 1950s that was with big dollars so we'll see what happens the

conversation was very good they're getting close to a deal that's OPEC and many

other countries outside of OPEC and we'll see what happens very good we had a

very good call I think it was a very good call we're gonna see what happens but it

was a very good go they'll probably announce something either today or tomorrow

one way or the other could be good could be not so good but I think one way the

other go ahead to administration discuss the possibility of reopening the country

when the administration does not have an adequate nationwide testing system for

this virus don't you need a nationwide system for the virus before you real we

have a great testing system we have the best right now the best testing system in

the world but there are certain sections right now there are certain sections in the

country that are in phenomenal shape already other sections are coming online

other sections are going down and we in addition to that are giving out millions of

tests and every day we're doing it exponentially we're picking up and what we'll

be doing in the very near future is going to certain areas of our country and do

massive testing it's not necessary but it would be a good thing to have to make

sure people are safe going back to work you don't want to send people back to the

workplace want to have it and we're going to see if we have it did you need it no

is it a nice thing to do yes we're talking about 325 million people and that's not

going to happen as you can imagine and nope it would never happen with anyone

else either other countries do it but they do it in a limited form will probably be

the leader of the pack please what do you say to the 16 million Americans more

than 60 million Americans who have lost their jobs in the last three weeks well I

think the economy is going to do very well now that's just my feeling it's a strong

feeling I've hadgood proper feelings about a lot ofthings over the years and I think

we'regoing to do well we're doing very we're at the lower end of the curb in terms

of death which is a terrible word aterrible dark word that we've experienced like

nobody has ever seen before in this country I mean we're we're have numbers that

are terrible butwhen you look at the lower levels of a hundred lower prediction

levels of a hundred hundred and twenty thousand to two hundred and twenty

thousand or if we did nothing up to 2.2 million people we're looking at a much

lower level than the level of I hope than the level of a hundred thousand so we're

gonna see we're going to have to you can never look you can never do anything

about the people that lost their loved ones and loved the loss their friends and I

mean the great friendships and I'm not sure a lot of people will ever be the same

but I think our country from an economic standpoint will end up being stronger

than ever we have tremendous stimulus we have tremendous stimulus plans we

have things in the works that are going to really I think far the country I think that

what's going to happen is we're going to have a Big Bounce rather than a small

bounce but we will be back and I think honestly I think our country is going to be

back from an economic standpoint again you can never replace the people that

were lost and to their families certainly you can never do a thing like that butwe

will have succeeded in many ways hopefully keeping the number way below our

minimum numbers and also from an economic standpoint you know we met with

the mental health people today and that takes it from this is taking a tremendous

toll mentally on a lot of people and I think we're going to open up strong I think

we're going to open up very successfully and I'd like to say even more

successfully than before please would you want to see surprised if you wanted it

30 40 50 dollars a beer well I I want to see it where there's a certain market but I

also don't want I don't want to see it where people have no idea you know we're

opening up we'll be opening up areas for storage of oil massive areas for storage

of oil because oil today is not selling and what happened is the virus knocked out

40% of the market immediately you know that you know the number forty percent

now there was a lot of oil but it was very 40 percent you look at the road you look

at the car you look at what's going on there's nobody driving there's no reason for

it right now that'll start coming back but we are storing millions of barrels of oil

that nobody thought would even be possible frankly ships turned out to be a good

business for somepeople because they're filling up tankers sending them out to sea

and not saying where to go they're just sitting out there loaded up with oil so we

want to save our energy in this country we want to make sure that our energy

companies businesses and employees workers remain strong so that's how I'm

involved and I think that's gonna happen so right now if you look you're probably

talking 23 25 if they announced a deal we can get it up we need a minimum

number so the companies don't go out of business so they're not gonna lay off all

of these energy workers who are important to our country and you know we're

now energy independent we could do something well we only used our oil but I

think the long-term benefit is to be able to just go with the market and it's gonna

work out it's all gonna work out if you looked at three weeks ago as you know as

we talked about it three weeks ago and two weeks ago this was catastrophic I

think it's really hitting bottom and I think that I mean we've had a bottom but now

at twenty three dollars and twenty five dollars and probably heading up at the

same time we save our energy and we also produce great cheap energy and we

save our jobs we're telling us their banks don't know how to access this money

they're trying to apply they can't figure it out so where does the fault line is a lot of

the banks I don't think there's a fault which they're doing record numbers of

dollars they're dealing with many community banks they're dealing with Bank of

America Citibank a lot of Wells Fargo as you know is very much involved and

they're dealing with the bankers can't go that quickly but I'm hearingit's a very

very successful rollout they didn't want changes in applications they want changes

in loan requirements etc billions of dollars worth of loans and in the very near

future the banks will be relieving the money they'll be paying out the money kept

pleasing the USMC the auto industry is hurting these days are you ready to

postpone the yeah the deal is with Canada with Gillis is Mexico we different from

the standpoint that production will be lower but we have a deal it's a signed deal

it's a deal that say one of the worst deals that we've ever had was NAFTA one of

the worst trade deals ever made by any country anywhere and we'll be terminating

that and the New Deal is a great deal for our country so that's something now

again we get hit by the virus and we'll see where that all goes but certainly car

production is going to be down for a little while but ultimately good for our

farmers great for our farmers we'll be helping our farmers by the way we have

money going out to our farmers in the pretty near future having to do with you see

what's happened farmers got hurt very badly by all of this people are eating less

from the standpoint that there's no restaurants are open no businesses are open no

hotels are open they'll start to come back but we're gonna be helping out our

farmers yep Philip Wagner real Flair politics earlier you mentioned project sky

bridge and we're hearing that through that project a lot of the PPE that was sent

out to other countries is coming back to this country do you do you know when

we'll be able to bring a majority of that back and then are you frustrated that US

aid allowed a lot of that aid to go out the door in the first place I'm not because

we're we're in very good shape you'll be speaking with Mike Pence about this and

a little while you look at the hospitals you look at what's going on I spoke to

yesterday I spoke with the governor of Louisiana I'm saying do you think we need

that extra of building and we are really in good shape you're not hearing people in

needing ventilators much in fact we're going to start helping other countries with

ventilators we're going to end up having a lot of ventilators for future should

something happen for hospitals ideally to keep and have but no I think we're in

very very good shape we have calls with governor's all the time and the governor's

in very good shape now we have helped we have sent billions and billions and

billions of dollars between ventilators equipment protective equipment masks we

have 500 million masks coming 500 million from one group five hundred it'll be

three hundred million and two hundred million over a short period of time no I

think we're in very good shape please president speaking of testing some experts

including Scott got we have talked about 750,000 tests per week being needed

before the economy is open can you address that do you agree with those numbers

if not how many per week do you think we should have because I don't think it's

needed but I think we're going to try and hit a number like that that's a very high

number but we're going to be trying to hit it and we probably might be able to do

that please go ahead Thank You mr. president today the Democrats pushed for

more rescue money for states and hospitals which are complaining that they

needed to fight the corona virus pandemic do you think hospitals and states need

this money will you so I do and I do support something but I support it for the

next phase it's much simpler in the next phase whether that phase is infrastructure

or whatever so I'm going to leave you now with Mike Pence and with Eugene

Scalia and if you would I look forward to seeing you tomorrow we'll see you

tomorrow we have a lot of I think a lot of very big news to report we've had a

tremendous day between I believe what's happening with the energy industry and

I believe what's happening with Airlines I look forward to seeing you thank you

very much everybody.
