the united states is now ground zero for the covid-19 pandemic. experts forecast as many as a quarter million americans or more may die before the virus runs its course.

so how should this crisis be managed? nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins us this morning via telephone. president trump -- larry, good morning to you. president trump -- >> good morning, kira. >> president trump and state governors repeatedly on the question if you look specifically to the governor of michigan, the governor of new york. in the past the governor of california not so much anymore now. what do you think that's all about? >> kira, forgive me. i'm going to get a little wonkish with you. we're going to talk about something called federalism. federalism is the political relationship between the national government and the state, and that relationship was basically carved out when the framers built and constructed, if you will, the constitution. that's how far back it goes. historically the states have managed most domestic issues. they've been assigned that, if you will. think about things like

education and transportation and housing policies, but during the great depression it became clear that states couldn't manage serious calamity, nothing more serious at the time than the great depression. that led to the election of democrat franklin roosevelt who proposed massive federal assistance to end the great depression. now why is that important? well, ever since then the federal government has been viewed as the best source for managing domestic calamities. think of health scares like polio or the threat of sputnik back in the day and most recently the economic cost of the great recession. so that's what's led us to the question whether the president should behave the way presidents have been doing so over the last really 80 or 90 years. >> so if that's the way it's been for so many decades why do you think there's been that

fight to begin with? >> well, it's a hard question. to begin with the states just couldn't manage. they just didn't have the resources and only the federal government has had the resources. when you look at that with respect to what's going on with covid-19, the coronavirus, it doesn't make a lot of sense for the states to do this. we can look at the federal government's response under president trump really in three stages and this will explain how he's behaved. in the first stage, early january true mid-february of this year, the trump administration denied any existence whatsoever of a problem such as covid-19. nothing serious, it's manageable, we're talking about four or five cases. that's that. in the second stage, mid-february through mid-march president trump repeatedly stated states, states now, were responsible for dealing with the issue even as the number of

coronavirus cases skyrocketed. but it was only about two weeks ago, two weeks ago -- and these weeks are so important because so much has happened during these weeks. only about two weeks ago the third state emerged as president trump reluctantly, and i underscore that word reluctantly, began to share federal resources, kicking and screaming, if you will, with the states. so that evolution has happened but only in the most painful way as the states have watched it all happen. >> i talked with chuck todd without you about 30 minutes ago, and he mentioned that as well, that reluctantly we've been a week or two behind in our response. who, larry, not to put you on the spot, who do you think is right? >> it gets down to who is supposed to be in charge, who is supposed to be running the show. trump supporters would say to

you that the states bear responsibility. it's that old traditional system that we talked about back in 1787 when the constitution was created, states should bear responsibility for dealing with covid-19 and that they dropped the ball. they say, for example, the head states such as washington and new york reacted more quickly early on, the virus may well have been contained. that's kind of like what the president has been saying. the federal government can't be all things to all people but trump opponents would counter, kira, that no state, no state could possibly have had the necessary medical supplies for a pandemic like covid-19 which has spread so quickly through the country. so they would argue only the federal government has had the tools and resources to act quickly. only the federal government has a cdc, for example. only a federal government has the power to order companies to go ahead and make things that they need now.

these folks would point to a denial of any problems as the unwillingness to take control. the second stage as a crucial loss of time and momentum. finally they would point out to the defense production act the superior capability of ordering industries to make whatever is needed in an emergency. what they are saying, the opponents are, hey, these days are different than what we've seen in the past. we have to act differently. >> larry, thanks as always for your insights. sorry to have to cut you off. vianey will be back with your forecast after this.

good sunday morning. it's a cloudy and rainy sunday. i'm here for your micro climate weather alert with my new co-worker. he's a little lazy, a lot we're live. he popped up in the corner. let's take you right to your graphics. we will be seeing this satellite radar really showcasing just how much instability we have in the atmosphere. 53 degrees right now in san francisco. he went back to bed. satellite radar, i want to showcase a wide look of it because it really shows you that plume of moisture targeting the central coast and here in the bay area as well. today more of a widespread rainy day. yesterday we only saw a little bit of rain in some areas but now, look at this, closer in through monterey, heavier

pockets of rain push through the south bay up through santa cruz as well and even sierra snow. zooming this in even closer you can see pockets of rain moving in through half moon bay, pleasanton, in through gilroy and san francisco. now because we have so much instability there is going to be an isolated chance of thunderstorms and it's a colder storm so we might even see a small chance of hail. temperatures will be in the 50s. a high of 58 in san jose. a cool afternoon. your hour by hour outlook, i want to take you all the way through about 12:30. notice the heavier pockets where you see the red and the yellow in santa cruz, that's a bull's eye where heavier times of rain might come down which means highway 17, that always gets messy. turning windy especially for the higher elevation areas and snow near the 3,500-foot mark could mean a light dusting. by about 5:00 the majority of the storm starts to track east and then we get a period of a little bit of a break especially for areas like san francisco,

oakland, hayward. still going to continue to seep the chance of showers for the south bay through sunday night and even in through monday and tuesday as another storm system approaches. heading into the sierra forecast. we're talking about 6 to 12 inches of snow, dangerous travel. chains might be required. definitely check that before you head out. showers continue into tuesday because of another storm system that whirls on by. rain chances then clear out as high pressure begins to dominate by thursday. you know when that high pressure rolls around we get a lot more sunshine but also warmer temperatures as our daily highs are expected to start hitting the 70s for inland areas. take a look at san francisco. breezy conditions by wednesday. we'll keep the chance for today in through monday. 66 by next saturday. so if you were a little bummed about saturday's forecast you could see 72 degrees by friday, saturday 73. all in all it will be a rainy

weekend with plenty of sunshine ahead. be careful. a good time to start clearing out those gutters with all that rain and secure those items in your backyard. i'll send it back to you. >> oh, my gosh. he is so cute. he popped up his head at the in forecast. vianey, thanks so much. before we let everyone go, we want to show you a lot of folks celebrating birthday, other milestones virtually during this stay-at-home order. 150 years golden gate park, a virtual concert series this weekend. you can check it out online at golden gate park. enjoy. hope you stay safe from the rain and enjoy that. thanks for making us a part of your morning.
