hello, a good saturday to you. thanks for being with us. tonight, concern is is growing worldwide with the steady uptick of coronavirus cases and deaths. new york is under a state of emergency. northern italy is facing a potential lockdown. and thousands are b stranded on a cruise ship off the coast of california this hour. mixed messages and misinformation along the way, spreading almost as fast as the virus. and then there were two. joe biden bernie sanders. now the only viable democratic candidates going into another big primary day. we'll call it a super micro

tuesday if you will. six states inclooing the big prize of michigan are up for gra grabs. mark meadows as the next white house chief of staff. ousting mick mulvaney in the last 24 hours. the latest on the coronavirus. vice president pence just finishing meetings with cruise line industry officials today. and after that meeting, vice president pence said there is a new ship that they are tracking. this because it shares crew with a different ship that carried people who tested positive along with pence saying screening for the virus will be enhanced. we'll dig into what that might mean. so as of this hour, 7:00 p.m. eastern, 19 people have died. that is two more just for this saturday. in total, we are counting 434 cases in the u.s. as of this

hour. that is 100 more just on this saturday. from all the united states report confirmed cases of covid-19, ten have declared a state of emergency. new york the late e addition today included in those totals 21 people who tested president obamative for the virus while aboard a cruise ship, the grand princess in california. currently being held 50 miles off the coast of san francisco. >> in terms of concern, you know numbers. they're growinging quite precipitously on this saturday. >> yeah and we've been talking to people on word the ship. they're nervous, worried, upset about the situation. 19 of those are are crew members and so a lot of people worry about the crew giving them room

service and sort of how they're going to interact with them being isolated in their rooms but that's only out of a sample size of 45. there are 3500 on the ship. there's going to have to be a lot more test iing before they find out what happens next. that's the next question that's troubling. where are these people going to end up? the vice president has said it will be at a noncommercial port but he has not specified where or xakly when so there's sort of a guessing game both off the ship for family members and of course for the people stuck in isolation on board that ship then we had as you mentioned, the announcement of another ship, quite a shock today, as the vice president mentioned they are tracking another ship because they do believe as you said, some crew members or one crew member was share d between that ship and either the grand princess or the diamond princess and so they're worried about more cross contamination. i want to play for you exactly

what the vice president said about this. listen to this, richard. >> we are tracking at this point, a ship that may have shared a crew with the diamond princess or grand princess and we've taken decisive action to hold. the people on that ship and we just continue to remain on this effort, but it really does underscore -- >> no additional information on where the ship is or specifications of the ship other than the fact they want to do a full medical examination of everybody on board that ship as well. >> thank you so much, steve. appreciate that. the latest from california. now as a coronavirus outu break continues to spread, experts across the world are racing to create additional tests and b possible treatments including

vaccines, which kcan take over year or two. the world health organization saying 20 vaccines are in development right now. however, it's unclear when they would actually be ready and deemployable to countries across the globe. let's bring in dr. peter j.hotez from baylor college of medicine and the co director of texas children's hospital center for vaccine development. thanks for being here with us. if you could please first address what we're looking at on this saturday. we started out by saying just on this saturday, we have added to the number 100 more cases in the united states. admit ical admitted admittedly, a small fraction of the world's cases but in the united states, we're seeinging a large increase. is this to be expected? >> i think so. first of all, good to be back to see you again. you know i think what we're probably seeing is as testing starts to ramp up, we will almost certainly begin detecting

more cases so i think americans should expect those numbers to start to increase because we're detecting them now. it doesn't mean -- they were probably there before, but now we're doing a better job picking them up and the key issue that we're going to have to address is will we start seeing community spread pop up in other places in the united states like we're seeing in seattle right now. and what steps we're going to take to mitigate in those areas where we're seeing that spread. >> doctor, what are you hear in in terms of when we're going to have more availability for covid-19 tests? >> well, you know the administration has an ambitious goal of a million. it's hard to go from near zero to a million. >> reporter: quickly. so what i i think that practically means is we'll see a gradual increase, but for the next few weeks until we get those tests up to speed, we're going to have to ration how we use those testing kits and the

question is what are going to be our priorities and in my congressional testimony this week in washington, i identified three or four groups that i think we have to specifically protect by that testing. that includes older residents, especially in nursing homes. we cannot repeat that debacle we saw in kirkland where there's been 11 deaths. i mean that was just awful. so we have to look at added screening in our nursing homes, among our staff. we're also hearing then we're hearing among the staff, maybe 70 of the worke erers are infec. that's our second vulnerable area. we saw that on move on, larnl numbers of health care works and for some reason we don't understand, about 15% of those were seriously ill. as many required being in the intensive care unit. so we've got to protect that and there's two others. our first responders. we're seeing significant numbers

of first responders quarantined so they're taken out of the workforce then the fourth one, which is kind of interesting. is our uriber drivers, taxi drivers and we're hearing more and more cases. so from my per spspective, thos the four. >> the last group is so important as they all are, but reminds me of the sars out break in asia when i was there reporting on that. every cab would wipe down their car, front to back, at least three or four times a day. is that what we might expect here at some point? >> i think we've got to get guidance from the centers for disease control about that. maybe that would include respirator masks for those drivers if they're at high risk because if we shut down our uber and taxi and grid, then you know, that paralyzes the city, too, and nobody wants that to happen. >> doctor, so we've heard a lot of numbers out there and this is

clear ly about people. and about communities. but for a moment, what are the number of masks you think we need and by when? is it in four weeks sm 100 million? five million? what are the numbers you're looking at generally speaking? >> i can't answer that number because i don't have a sense. i mean i think it's not that hard to calculate. we have to add up all of the people who interface with older individuals at assisted care facilities. that's what the health care prioritizes then first responders. what that number looks like, i can't tell you tonight, i think we've got to start making those calculations. >> so it is documented, death rate from the every day flu, 0.1%. right? that has been a statistic that has been quoted regularly. >> yeah, seasonal flu varies, but typically, 0.14. >> the question i wanted to ask you, a lot of every day will

read the paper, see a 3.4%, a 2.2%. see various numbers out there. the number for instance today based on all the data is over 4%. should we not overweight that to and be overly concerned about that number right now because we don't have all the data? >> yeah, i mean i've been saying that for weeks. you know when people actually start dismissing this and say ing it's just flu, first of all, flu itself is a pretty serious infection. it kills so far 14,000 americans this year. but then when they try to dismiss it by comparing it to a mild virus infection, i get upset because the fatal ta rate, that's looking real. i don't know if it will wind up going as high as 4%. i think there will be the numbers will decline as we start identifying people with low grade symptoms, but we're probably looking even in the best case scenario at something that's four or five times more

lethal than influenza and it's looking at the whole rate among the whole population means less than when you divide it by specific groups and one of the scary things the chinese scientists found and i think they're right was very high mortality of 10 to 15% in individuals over the age of 70. i think that number is going the stick. we saw what happened when the virus raced through the nurse ing home. around 100 deaths. there you are. that's about that number. so i think we, why i continue to emphasize those high risk groups and the hospital workers have a higher than expected serious illness rate. maybe that's because they're exposed to a larger virus. we really don't know. remember this is a new virus agent and we're in a steep learning curve. >> thank you, sir, doctor. for your expertise from houston. we're going to talk to you again as we get to the other side of this disease and i look forward to that conversation one day,

too. despite criticism over the trump administration's response, the president praised their efforts and claimed everyone who needs a test for the virus has one. take a listen. >> anybody right now and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. they're there. they have the tests. the tests are beautiful. anybody who needs a test gets a test. i think we're doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down.vigilant. we've done a tremendous job. i like this stuff. i really get it. people are surprised that i understand it. one of these doctors said how do you know so much about this. maybe i have a natural ability. maybe i should have done that instead of running for president. >> those comments about testing were slammed, criticized as mislead iing as multiple news outlets reported the country's testing capabilities are not adequate and in short supply. "the washington post" said

interviews with government health officials reveal a six week long series of glitches, missed opportunities and delays that contributed to this shortage. joining us now, pete dominic, radio host and comedian, lauren librer, scherr michael singleton, political consultant. you understand the importance of political leadership. especially when it comes to the white house at this time. and given your history and work in this space, what would you say could be done better? from the vice president who's been charged with leading this. it doesn't seem to be totally factual. >> i think the first thing, you have to be transparent with the american people. they need to know all the facts. they need to know exactly what's going on. number two, i think the advice this i would give to the president is roll out a very

robust step by step, these are the steps our government are currently taking and these are the steps they will take if this turns into a broad out pandemic. i think there are some concerns about making sure our health care individuals and first responders have the proper gear that we know is short. i think we also need to be b sure that the government has a plan to work with states and localities and municipalities to ensure that the homeless are proper hi checked, to make sure that elderly individuals not only in nursing homes, but those who may live by themselves, but have a home aide, that those individuals are checked, so there's a list of things that the administration should be doing and communicating to the american people so that you don't see panic. because i think richard, if they do not, more and more individuals will become concern ed about that's not ha we want in the midst of a potential pandemic. >> pete, what are you hearing from those on your radio show? because it's also been said there's a concern here of misinformation. virally. on social media.

about what is happening and we don't need that. right? we need facts. >> we need facts and leadership. this president constantly puts his political chances in this case, public health. that's what he was impeached for and when he's talking about number, medicine, we can't listen to him. people are panic buying right now because they don't trust the government because the president of the united states is a liar. he said vaccines cause autism and peter wrote a book about this. vaccines didn't cause rachel's autism. his daughter has autism. the president is desperate for a vaccine. he used a sharpie on the hurricane. climate change is a host. "washington post" reporting, on friday, the president of the united states said that he did not know that the flu killed people. the flu killed his grandfather. in 1918. friedrich trump. the president of the united states is not fit for this

office u or for this responsibility and politically, it's the least important thing, every day and every week will be like his katrina and it won't just be about people of color. every american is subject to this virus and we need strong leadership and i'm not trying to be divisive here on tv, i want to say now to everybody on tv watching, we need to come together. we need to support each other. we need to stay in this moment and be strong for one another and love each other and work with each other so that we don't panic and help each other, richard. >> that's the point, isn't it, to be calm, stay down, go to those places of information where we can get it. >> well, it would help to have more coordinated information so in addition to my leadership non-profit, i'm a part time elected official in westchester county. i'm elected in town that's two towns over from new rachelle, the current epicenter of coronavirus is. i've been on constant contact with the governor's office on

down. at this point, there's only the capability of about 300 tests a day in new york, which would quickly become inaud quaut by the bigger issue for towns like ours is just like getting clear and concise information. our county executive has done an extraordinary job in communicating some of the basics. and today obviously cuomo declared a state of emergency. but the reality is that the planning process in every single town and community in america is extraordinarily complicated. we've mentioned the emts and first responders. in my town, they feel we have the supplies, but we don't have the full information about how they should e appropriately protect themselves, so this is a woe fly inadequate response. people don't want to panic. in my town, people are asking for basic information so they don't have to. that's been very difficult to get. >> all right. you're going to stick around.

thank you so much. you're going to stick around as well. up next, we are headed for a mini super tuesday next week with just two viable candidates this time around. we're going to talk to actor matt -- who he is throwing his support behind and who might the remaining contenders consider as a running mate? a woman, a person of color, both? the decision could be crucial. , both the decision could be crucial. ? yes, please. thank you. you're welcome. ♪ [indistinct conversation] can i help you? yes! we're stuck. the career skills that really matter- like teamwork, responsibility, and serving others... hey... can i help you? are the ones you learn here. welcome to mcdonald's. can i help you?

it's time to tell you that nbc news is projecting at 7:00 p.m. eastern time, joe biden will win when all the vote d ar counted, in south carolina. let's remember this is his first primary victory. let's remember this is only the second primary. >> and that was brian williams almost exactly one week ago this hour. right here on msnbc reporting nbc projections that former vice president joe biden's victory in

south carolina had been declared. now that victory is seen by many as a turn around point for biden's campaign. that continued into super tuesday. let's fast forward to this with another mini super tuesday. steve kornacki taking a look at the data and analyzing it, saying it may be difficult for sanders to overcome biden even after this coming tuesday and take the lead. this after this tuesday's sixth nominating contests. idaho, mississippi, missouri, north dakota, washington and last but not least, that is michigan. right now, biden is in the league with 624 delegates and sanders behind him with 556. it's pretty close but as monica alba reports, president trump's re-election team has shifted its focus back to biden after his super tuesday triumph. biden has bounced back and the trump re-election team is working to slow his momentum with the helps o f a drawn out democratic nomination. my panel back with us you worked

on the carson campaign. the romney campaign and you're not woshrking on one as of this hour, but as you look at what needs to happen right now with sanders to try to make up that difference because as i was mentioning, steve kornacki, pretty good with numbers here, looking at what may happen based on the polls saying it's going to be a tough road ahead for him. how can he turn that around? >> i think he would have to win michigan and win michigan by a relatively handsome number because after next tuesday, you have march 17th and march 17th, you have places like, not california, excuse me, places like florida, which has a huge delegate count. i think florida has 219 delegates. i would argue by that point, we're likely going to know who will more than likely become the no, ma'minee. and if you look at the polling data in each of those loeks, joe biden does have a very healthy

lead. in fact, bernie sanders has seen his lead decrease significantly in the state of florida over the past two and a half weeks so if i was on his campaign, i would try to figure out what can you do to target particularly in michigan, older african-american voters to pull some away from joe biden. so that if he was able to somehow inch ahead of him, i would argue a system moving forward into the 17th where he could go into florida and still target older african-americans and there are some hispanics there that i would argue younger ones that would vote for sanders over biden. so i would look at this from i guess you could argue an age difference. number one. then number two, i would also try if i was sanders to target individuals that i know joe biden is doing really well with. if you look at polling data that came out about a month ago, a significant percentage of older black voters, 71% of them, view sanders favorably. so that tells me if he can

articulate a more realistic message to them, they may come into his corner. >> that's been thematic. black vote is not singular. not one u sided and they are certainly shopping for a winner. lauren, one of the numbers that you saw this week, the morning consult national poll, which really showed biden far ahead. it is still proverbially early and things can change based on what shermichael has said so far. one of those key voting groups are sbuburban women and where they might go and they are both watching carefully. >> all in together did polling right before super tuesday to look at the dynamics of men and women, but especially women. suburban women. younger women, et cetera. women really were the fire wall for joe biden on super tuesday and you know really i think part of what we saw on super tuesday is an affirmation of what nancy pelosi has been saying for years, which is fundamentally, the country is is the center left country. the democratic party is more

central left than it is far left and suburban women, especially in some more moderate states, which if you look at the map ahead, they certainly favor biden in the moderate tenor of those states. the sort of firewall against sanders was this like 12 point difference that sbur u ban women favored biden and there's a real deep discomfort with the far left and narrative of what that might mean for moderate voters. this has been the calculus for months. this question of who turns out and who is the core of the voters. sanders were count uing on younger voters and they haven't turned out in the numbers he's hoping. i think he'll do well in washington state, but when you look at the rest of the map, it's going to be tough for him. >> detroit, michigan, we've been underlining it. got to watch that. not only for the primary, but the general. >> yeah, everything that's happening right now within the next few weeks is going to hopefully determine one of these guys is going to come out on top and that you're not going to have a brokered convention which will create a tremendous amount

of chaos. trump is already going after both of them. especially joe biden and saying that he's starting to lose it a little bit. his acuity. this is what my friend sarah called it the gerentocracy. all three of these guys are in their late 70s. you had a chance with elizabeth warren, but americans are going to have to fall in behind one of these guys soon. >> lauren, the vice presidential pick's going to be big now that warren has stepped aside. now that klobuchar has stepped aside. we've got a quick full screen here of who they might pick from. off center. women. that women v.p. potential forces here. quickly reflecting on that. >> look, i don't think there's any question that either whoever becomes the nominee is going to absolutely, it is imperative they choose a female running mate. for a long list of reasons. i'm very much in favor of an

early pick. i loved what tom said about looking at unity tickets early on. i think it's a huge advantage. all of them are outstanding. there's more on this list. it's fundamental. women are the majority of voters in this country. they'll turn this election for whoever the nomination is. >> shermichael, pick one. >> i would say elizabeth warren. i think that's an unbeatable ticket. >> okay. pete. lauren, i'm not letting you go anywhere. you're going to be back in a little bit. can the celebrity factor give bernie sanders the edge he needs? that's coming up. we're going to talk to matt mcgoi about why he's voting for the vermont senator and how a 20 second jingle on some viral dance moves could curb the spread of the coronavirus throughout the world. you've got to see that. virus throughout the world you've got to see that es? which one is your mother? that's her right there. oh, gosh.

now to the race for president and another big week

for the remaining b candidates in the race. joe biden ahead in the gel gat count racking up endorsements from fellow candidates. what is bernie sanders' path to a democratic nomination? it's close. we're joined by star of the theatre and the screen of how to get away with murder, orange is the new black and cofounder of inspired justice. he's endorsed bernie sanders for president. thanks for joining us. let's talk about the organization that you founded, inspire justice, which really looks at the intersectionalty of america and how your candidate might be able to as an expert now since you've run this organization, which candidate is doing better at that right now? >> yeah, in my mind, there's one u clear choice in this and bernie sanders right now. i cofounded inspire justice with my partner that was specifically around these ideas of opposing some of the strongest forces that we know that are in america. that's systemic racism, sexism and classism.

bernie has a track record of tackling these issues head on and is is very supported by the grass roots movement and is a part of that himself. we saw he was able to change the minimum wage for close to 400,000 workers even outside of the electoral process and he understands how the movements work. that's why i support bernie sanders and i think part of the company, too, is really making sure those who have the most privilege particularly celebrities, are use iing their voice for social change. for solidarity with poor and working class folks. >> you've got your ear to the ground certainly. when we look at bernie sanders latino vote in texas, in california, the numbers are quite surprising for those coming in and b even supporters like yourself. 41%. that's what bernie sanders got. almost 50% in california. why do you think? >> you know i think bernie has really tapped into what folks

are looking for, right? unfortunately, i think biden, he rides a lot on the sort of the proximity to the previous, to his previous you know position as vice president. but i think really, bernie has his ear to the ground in terms of what the folks are looking for. we have a country in which three individuals own more wealth than 150 million people. that is a problem. that is a systemic, a structural problem. that is not a problem of people, these people working so much harder than these folks. in order to really tackle that, we have to be willing to make some people unfcomfort bable an we can see from even the campaign donations alone that the 60 billionaires who are part of funding biden's campaign, they feel very comfortable with that. so i think that folks understand right that class is an intersectional issue, right, it affects poor and working class white people and statically, folks of color, latin, black folks, indigenous people, are even more impacted by the

intersections of race ism and class iism and people understand that bernie gets that and he's going to fight for that. >> what do you tell folks, you talk to a lot of people of different political views, what do you tell them, how are you going to pay for what some of the estimates are? $50 trillion for some of those programs. how do you say that really quickly and educate them from your point of view about how he's going to handle that cost? >> absolutely. as bernie often says, we do have socialism in this country. it's socialism for the wealthy. so even if you look at disparity, the bottom half earners of americans, there's a lot of room there. we always have the funding to build more jails and prisons. to start more wars and continue this sort of never ending wars this country has been in and it's time to really redistribute the wealth. i think that people are, the reason working class people are primarily supporting bernie

sanders is because they understand that this sort of trickle down economic policy doesn't work. nothing trickles down. and so i think that you know, we just have to look at where those things, where that money is being spent. we saw it with a bailout in 2008. we know these resources are here. we have to have a fundamental shift in morals and values and that is why i'm involved in this because i'm in sol didarity wit poor and working class folks and my responsibility to leverage my privilege in that way. >> you're a uniter. inspired justice is a good example of that. as you know, bernie sanders saying that whoever comes out on top, he will support. would you support biden if it turns out he's the nominee and on top of that, the critics are saying look, bernie sanders supporters are angry how do you pull that all together? what would you say about that? >> yeah, that would be a really serious question. you know, obviously, we cannot let trump win again.

i believe that bernie is our greatest chance to make sure that does not hawaii he excites voters. he excites the younger voters who really understand the impacts of climate change that we'll continue to have. that's something we really have to think about. there's a righteous anger that bernie himself has that i think people have made fun of him for and that i've had to work to release myself of the responsibility to always be trying to make people comfortable and to really come to terms with the fact that i am angry about racism, sexism and about the fact that we have the largest wealth inequality you know that we've ever seen in this country. and so -- >> no doubt. >> absolutely. drawing the line in that anger and obviously there's never an excuse for abusive behavior and i just you know, i try to sort of channel my anger into the political process and supporting

folks that i see as winnable. and as people who have the same values that i do. and i think that's what really needs to happen. we have, we really need to, we need someone who's going to be able to stand up against the corporate interests and even for climate change, we know that 100 corporations create global greenhouse emissions and if you're getting contributions from these thofolks, it's unlik they're going to be able to do that. >> sir, thank you so much for taking your time and join the conversation. we have invited biden surrogates to join this hour as well, but they were unable to be here. another shake up in the white house. president trump has tapped a new chief of staff. some eagle eyed observers maybe we should have seen this coming, they say. coming, they say e all-new silverado hd to the legendary capability of the strongest, most advanced silverados ever. with best in class camera technology and larger,

last block of the hour, a few other headlines we wanted to fete to following today starting with the latest white house shake up. president trump announcing last night that mark meadows is replacing mick mulvaney as the

president's chief of staff. the fourth in just over three years. our panel back with us. this is a lot of chiefs. number four right now. and will this one get it done? >> i again it done? >> i doubt it. i think we can look at the standard, richard, and it shows that the president doesn't really like to listen to anyone. but here's a more broader concern for the republican party, writ large. i think the president's bayer depresses confidence. and when voters look to a leader, they expect someone to be transparent, objective, someone they can trust particularly in moments of crisis. the president hasn't exactly exuded that since he's been in office. and that's why if you look at 2018, if you look towards november, based upon the math, i would argue that democrats do have a net favor if they can turn on individuals in some of those key swing states. >> and this question, when you look at it, pete, does this

resonate when we're looking at what's happening at the white house, a new chief, on the ground. >> i don't think people are thinking that much about the chief of staff and who it is. i think they should know, generally speaking, that mick mulvaney who he just got rid of once said, and you can look it up, he called president trump a terrible human. john kelly who was his chief of staff is on record saying, a lot of people called him a moron. and his new chief of staff that he's just picked, he was repo reported by tim alberta, he wrote that meadows told friends before the rnc that he was considering not going to the rnc despite being a delegate because mark meadows feared living with the legacy of nominating donald trump. >> well, here is mark meadows now with donald trump. and lauren, what will he be? will he be like a mike pompeo? he will be there, trying to find that middle ground? >> i mean, he is a tea party

guy. he's as political as it gets. he's also somebody who wanted to -- said we should send barack obama back to kenya. he has been incredibly decisive in his time in congress, and i think we're going to see more of that. it's worth noting that the president chose to make this appointment on friday night after the markets closed, because i think part of the issue is this constant chaos and he was advised not to change his chief in the middle of the coronavirus outbreak, because it just looks like more chaos. >> speaking of which, we have an update on the coronavirus. another one of our topics in the last several minutes, now up to 437 cases. vietnam is one of those places that have had to deal with it. they're taking a different approach no combat the spread of the virus itself. and they're doing it with a catchy psa. watch this. ♪ ♪ >> all right. that started out as a way to

teach people how to wash their hands. it's now turned into a tiktok dance challenge thanks to the choreography of a popular vietnamese dance here. watch this one. ♪ ♪ >> everybody's into this right now. lauren, this is a great way of turning something that's very difficult and very negative and trying to make it fun and positive. >> yeah, i mean, i think, look, if one positive thing comes out of coronavirus, it's that millions of people around the world will have learned some really important lessons about hygiene and about taking care of themselves and preventing the spread of disease. my kids are elbow bumping and we've got namaste. people are really taking this very seriously. and now it's important. these are important lessons. this is how we're going to combat this, is really every person in the world taking this seriously and doing their part. >> all right. i want to fit one last topic. it is the eve of international women's day. it's important to appreciate the

unsung heros of our society worldwide. for instance, and here's one of those stats that will help you think about that. if every american woman earned a minimum wage for their unpaid labor last year, they would have made a combined $1.5 trillion globally. that number bumps up to $10.9 trillion. and this year, the united nations are celebrating international women's day, that's tomorrow, by the way, with a theme i am generation of equality, realizing women's rights. lauren, i think you have something to say about this. that number is staggering. and that's real. it doesn't matter what gender you are when you look at that. >> i have something to say about this every day. every day should be international women's day. look, it's an important milestone. this is also the 100th anniversary of suffrage in the united states. and despite the incredible gains that women have made around the world and there's no question that the standards of living for women, life expectancy, rates of poverty and education are better outcomes than we've ever had. and yet also, even in the united states, 70% of americans in poverty are women and children.

we are 98th in the world in terms of women's political participation. we have some of the highest and most quickly rising rates of maternal mortality around the world. it's an incredibly important time to recognize our gains and redouble our efforts to work like hell to redouble the playing field going pardforward. >> but it does matter what gender you are, and men need to listen and create opportunities. the most important thing you can do to end poverty is educate women and girls. >> and how do you turn male privilege into something positive, as we were talking in the last hour. >> look, we know that economic improvements impacts your inspirations, aspirations, and motivations in life. and we know that women play a crucial role in raising children. that's just an aspect of motherly love is a big part of societies across the world. and so just imagine economically, if we have an equal playing field, more than likely, you will see poverty decrease, because women will be motivated, energized, because they know that the skill sets that they have will be paid fairly and equally, just as it

should for men. and i think that's a benefit for society, writ large. >> just closing the labor force participation gap between men and women in the united states alone would add 3% to u.s. gdp. it is a massive opportunity and an untapped resource. >> 80 cents on the dollar, right, lauren? >> 80 cents on the dollar. >> i like this course we had here at the end of the show. thank you, all three. shermichael, thank you so much, lauren. thank you so much, pete. appreciate your day here today on msnbc. that does it for me tonight. i'm richard ueli. tune in on tuesday, where the race to the democratic nomination continues with voters casting their ballots in six states. rachel maddow and steve kornacki at the big board breaking down results. watch complete primary coverage tuesday at 6:00 p.m. eastern. have a great day. erage tuesday at 6:00 p.m. eastern have a great day s why i've got r of 1, 2, 3 medicines with trelegy. the only fda-approved once-daily 3-in-1 copd treatment. ♪ trelegy ♪ the power of 1,2,3
