5:04 am
any for example the press secretary came into contact with the pope picks another policy adviser the next day she was briefing journalists within the white house so certainly there are reasons why it appears that the coronaviruses emanating out of the white house the white house will not release any full list or numbers of those who wish actually tested positive for corona virus or any of those associated with the white house but let me just give you one very interesting fact on monday there were 105. you cases recorded in washington d.c. this is the highest daily they go in for months and certainly it would appear that a significant portion of that emanates from the white house extraordinary times aren't they mike hanna with that report from washington d.c. thank you in addition to all of this donald trump has called off negotiations with the democrats over
5:05 am
a new coronavirus stimulus package until after the election the markets didn't like it they were down on the news democratic presidential nominee joe biden accused trump of turning his back on the american people house democrats a pass to 2.2 trillion dollar relief bill thursday but senate republicans have rejected it is a great place to work on representative daniel pearl as to al-jazeera a republican member of the florida legislature who's been appointed as a future speaker of the florida house he's with us from miami and i'll talk to you more about florida's importance of the upcoming election in a moment representative but 1st of all that stimulus situation i was talking about there what does donald trump and the republicans have to achieve by not negotiating now when there are so many americans in need of some financial relief. i mean we have to be honest the purpose of this the purpose of the u.s. is that helping american families that the that if you're the senior going to hires
5:06 am
with the democrats to clean your politics the president isn't responding by saying he's not willing to. wearing it it's that read up he's absolutely willing for asking but with the democrats have done it they haven't made this thing it's so one sided with rocks that are outside your purpose of helping the american families in order to donald trump in a position where he actually reject it and now he comes out and he went to bat with the truth is he's the bad guy in the democratic point politics and what he's saying is i'm not going to play politics there's one purpose helping the american people at the moment that you start playing games it's off to talk with people about whom you no longer willing to meet me. but i would still tell you this i'm on i think the president understand it's important to help you and mary could bear that in his job and that is where you are i think this is a negotiation that it's finds i would still respect or expect more in congress the
5:07 am
more conversation that equates when it comes to this thing was fact prior to your election i don't see it is truly getting pretty flattering over there i don't really. i'd like your thoughts as well on what we saw in the last 24 hours coming out of the white house donald trump returning from walter reed taking his mask off going back in as a person who is infectious today more people testing positive as well there has to be a question about what message this is sending again to the american people who are looking for leadership and are looking for a way out of this virus. yeah i mean it you know really one of the president. he was absolutely iceland and that were that that was what you were thinking at the. graphics i heard that term a lot getting you know being reckless with the truth is there was absolutely no one around what about the incident pictures sorry i'll interrupt you the wider picture of just the fear of of the symbolism of it i mean every medical expert is saying
5:08 am
wear a mask that's not political that's medical expert saying wear a mask and he makes a point i'm taking it off sure sure come up to the people it be honest he same the same message for the presidency over the last several days he said coronavirus is very real he said with a lot of your help with the consumer like you said social business is important in wearing a mask or in your new literary man who are around him that has been within 6 feet as a leader has been wearing the mask and you look i'm really mad i'm going to. say that you haven't been wearing a mask really around and not sure you have been wearing a mask but he said that was not the isolated when you were i'm were we isolated and not only was a guy who was outside was needed even in a confined area ok he's consistently on message my new senate that. grow large if you really think that usually he's ok but it was seen primaries that let it consume
5:09 am
your life for the letter it cannot have you would like to hope for and somehow for fortunately we lost many lives you know why can't we do more but i think you just repeated that and a lot of pirates went. ok let's move forward we've got a vice presidential debate coming up plus 2 more presidential debates coming up a huge concern again about whether these should actually go ahead or if they going to go ahead behind plexiglas and things like that you talked about people wearing masks we saw all of the trump family not wearing masks during the last one how do you think these debates should go ahead. i think the danger that. i would be. we're not. seeing that either or even. then look. when you when we think not you know our side and we can this is going to be the earth's climate is a remote debate in the sixty's that requires a remote the presidential election. but i think what's most important is that the
5:10 am
actual or at least the american people deserve quite gama'a i think that in the presidential debate i think the american people expect the war we expected more we respected more meat and potatoes that really i think we had a little who are who often works who would have been hearing in my opinion i want to get down to the issues i want you to marry we're making we're decision on what do you want for the future of money what is the next generation then we've got to know remember that and 9 people need. to come by for that the debate i think we can all agree on that too much bickering and we hope for more tomorrow that debate happens representative daniel prince from miami florida thank you thank you we move on to care to stand a nation on edge with the resignation of the prime minister and widespread protests that follows sunday's disputed election the early results have since been an old by
