think we will get out of this until the public health situation is under control. full stop. one scenario would be that the vaccine or other interventions do lower the risk and that would be important toward economic recovery, as well. >> thank you all for joining us, into overview posed questions -- and to athose of you who posed questions, i tried to get to all of them. i hope everybody got a chance to post their questions. this was a lot of fun. you can watch the replay on our website and you can pick it apart at your leisure. thank you all. >> coming up, white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany

holding a press conference with reporters. live coverage on c-span. >> it was just his second campaign appearance, joe biden. you can find it on c-span.org. the washington post, "biden blames trump" because the education gap a national emergency. joe biden sought to channel the frustrations of students, parents, and teachers around the country i blaming trump for school districts's inability to be open during the pandemic. biden received a briefing from education leaders at a sparsely filled downtown theater. he said a lack of in person education around the country is an emergency. here is more of what joe biden had to say. [video clip] >> trump still doesn't have a

plan of how to reopen safely. no plan of how to make parents feel secure for their children. he is offering nothing but failure and delusions on the start to finish. paying then are price. failure to take this virus seriously

inflicting long-term lasting damage. i heard a gentleman, some of you were at that meeting from harvard say that every year is $10,000. they lose a tremendous amount of money. they lose a lot by every year of education that they lost. gainedear again, they $10,000.

when you're sitting at home playing with the computer, it's not the same. it can never be the same as being in a classroom. >> good morning. every time you turn around, it's somebody with the virus. do when we going to they say clean up the schools and we have a lot of kids who were going back to schools with the virus? especially college kids. you can bring the virus home to

your prayer -- parents. i would rather the school at home. the economy -- the virus took over everything. >> let's hear from our next caller. the ironic thing about the situation is that trump himself doesn't do his homework on just about anything. his mind works in such a way doing --is basically he writes his own she sheets to by.by -- cheat sheet to get he pretends that he has done his homework. when you don't do your homework,

you fall behind your classmates. you instinctively know that others are getting ahead of you when you don't do your homework. you fall behind and you know it so you try to hide and you lie and you pretend you are as developed as the others who do their homework. i am that kind of person. i do the same thing. i didn't do my homework. when you don't do your homework, your self-esteem suffers, but you continue to pound away to prove to others not only that you did the homework, but you are on their intellectual level you are not. your self-esteem suffers, you lie about it, you continually try to convince others that you are not undeveloped. merry-go-round and you work at rehearsing and pretending instead of doing the work. that is the situation we are in. >> ok.

some comments on twitter. preschool is a hilarious and depressing. my four-year-old keeps muting himself saying i don't know your name. says mama isne doing a happy dance. steve, my eight-year-old grandson will begin virtual schooling next tuesday morning. educators, this is your line. don't forget mountain and pacific. commentator from the new york times and his headline remote learning is often an oxymoron. he writes while president trump has insisted that schools reopen, the private school his son is attending is sticking with virtual learning.

,e will have a computer internet access, adults making sure he is doing his work and he will have plenty of food. that almost 17 million american children live in homes without high-speed internet and more than 7 million don't have a computer. for disadvantaged kids, online learning is an oxymoron. in tennessee, good morning. no ahead. >> mr. biden, we are a federal state and every [indiscernible] , south dakotad never closed. they didn't feel the need to, they have already reopened this fall.

we have already reopened. we have a dual system. you can go to the school building or stay-at-home. local people are not stupid. they don't have to be instructed by washington as to what to do. and state officials are handling this just fine. >> now we go to michigan. kathy is an educator. or you back in school? >> i work as a substitute teacher and also in a hospital. there is almost no information about the schools. i spoke to a vendor. sec. mcenany: good afternoon everyone. two readings ago, i asked where is nancy pelosi? today, i can announce we have found nancy pelosi. as you can see, we found her going into her hair
