you mentioned being on that plane and not fighting over first class when we need to land the plane. i hope the find you on plane someday. i'd be glad to share my packet of peanuts, if i get one. >> me too. great louis gosset junior. god bless. the new movie is the cuban. have a great weekend. the reid out starts now. the country is stuck in middle of national epidemic with no end in sight. welcome to trump's america. the america that a majority of its citizens did not vote for in 2016. 4.5 million american vs been infeki infected and more than 154,000

have lost their lives. these are mothers and fathers and sons and daughters, siblings and grandparents. on wednesday, one person died in the u.s. roughly every minute from covid-19. the economy is in shambles posting its steepest decline in gdp output on record. millions of americans are facing economic uncertainty or disaster. according to trump, everything is fine. >> based on the polls, i'm doing well in florida and the local government is doing a fantastic job. i think we're doing a fantastic job. we did the right thing initially. we saved millions of lives. >> we did the right thing. >> we have started them up and i think we really started it up very successful. >> no, no, none of that is true. today three of the trump administration top health officials appeared for a

economy. james clyburn slammed the administration for not doing more at this stage many the pandemic. >> the united states response stands out among the worst of any country in the world. my question is, where should we go from here? today, i am calling for the administration to finally give america a comprehensivcomprehen national plan that prioritizes science over politics. >> vanity fair is reporting that the reason why we don't have large scale national testing plan may be because a white house team run by professional nepotism beneficiary and domestic and foreign policy utility player jared kushner didn't think it made sense, politically. a health expert in touch with the white house told the magazine, the political folks believe because the virus was going to be rel indicated to democratic state, that they would blame those governors and

that would be an effective political strategy. the white house not surprisingly is called the reporting incorrect. what is clear, in trump's america there are two groups. our people, quote unquote, and the rest of us. keep in mind, kushner and trump are from blue states. they were both willing to toss aside friends and neighbor, the people they literally grew up because it was expedient to expose those people to sickness and death. they seem nice. there are reports however that trump has become more engaged with the crisis now that it's affecting what he and his crew call our people. the virus surging if states like arizona, texas and florida. in fact, today, florida saw its fourth straight day of record reported deaths. while florida is melting down and facing a potential hurricane, trump held a mini rally of almost uniformly maskless supporters when he landed in tampa earlier today. for more i'm joined by jonathan

lemure. this idea that the administration delineates between myself and every one else is sticking in my kraw. how would a white house think it's good politics, assuming that the virus is also a political virus and never even reach their people. >> obviously, the virus doesn't care for politics or about state borders. it doesn't know anything about the electoral college. from the beginning the administration has handled this in a politicize way. he's never been one to rally the nation in a time of crisis.

this pandemic has been no different. to be clear, the white house strongly disputes some of the details in this story. right from the beginning, there was a sort of blue versus red dynamic here and not just politics of masks bp you'll recall when the virus first struck and new york was the epi epicenter, the president floated the idea of isolating new york. sort of sealing it off from the rest of the country. he floated that while talking to reporters. he quickly backed away from that. while we reported at the time, he did so in part thinking he would be a reassuring signal to his supporters in other states he was dealing with the crisis that was over there in other places, blue states, ie, new york. there hasn't been a sense and effort to have any national plan or strategy here even as the president's poll numbers have taken a beating because of his handling of the pandemic. you mentioned florida. arizona and texas, too, are now electoral battlegrounds where

the virus is surging. the white house has been signaling they are worried about a few other states too. mainly in the midwest. ohio, indiana, wisconsin, minnesota, colorado, a lot of those states also vitally important to the president's hopes of being re-elected this fall. >> dr. blackstock, it's so enraging to think that what it takes for a president of the united states to care about people, potentially dying by the hundreds of thousands is they be in the right states. that herman cain, god rest his spirit and his family that would be a more important death to the bt than the average black person out in the world that couldn't vote for him. leets talk about oush states that he considers our people. georgia. georgia voted for him. children and staff test positive at a camp. the cdc released a study on

friday about the outbreak says it shows children are susceptible and play an important role in transmission. among the children and staff tested, 260 came back positive. 231 of them, 17 and younger. what are the risks that children who test positive even if they don't have symptoms could infect others and what do you make of the idea there's a there people, our people situation or a delineates in the white house when the disproportionate number of deaths are among our people, among black people and brown people. >> right. thank you for having me, joy. i was here in new york city in march taking care of patients. i feel like that presser the other day by the president, i felt almost gas lit. i saw people suffering and if significant pain from the virus. i heard sirens a all night taking patients to the hospital.

there's been a lot of a federal strategy. at the very minimum we should have a universal mask mandate and shut down the hot spots. i think we're seeing increasing evidence like this study that came out today with the georgia camp that really in order to stay home, you need lower rates of community transmission of the virus. going to school shouldn't be an opg f option for students and families. >> for every child that may be infected, they have a parent, maybe a grandparent. they are also the adult camp counselors. every one can get sick because children don't die and it's great numbers and they do also die of this, the idea it's okay to send kids back to school when kids at a camp, it's insane.

>> help us out. we're dying here. your daily upbeat message with what floridans are going through. governors who have done what trump wanted and pretended that the virus isn't that serious are demanding, insisting in texas and florida and other states that kids go back to school and they don't care what the teachers and what people like you have to say. what do you have to say to donald trump and mr. our people, the president of the united states? >> thank you for having me. i've been a big fan since your days down in miami. it's my hometown as well. if i had to ta you can to donald trump, i'd tell him this. people are going to die. people are dying every day. the stats don't lie. i'm not a doctor. i'm a teacher. i love teaching. we want to go back to school and be with kids. i'm a high school band director and there are coaches and counselors who can't wait to get into our buildings but we need to do this safely.

last month in florida, we had 25,000 children under the age of 18 that tested positive here in the state of florida. that's 900 kids per day in the state of florida. we're in the epicenter of this virus. we do not have it under control and a governor who has tethered himself to a secretary of education who should be dismissed because she has no background in education. she's supporting the school she's trying to undermine and underfund for the last three and a half years. we need help. we need mask mandate, testing, tracking and tracing. we need ppe. we need an infrastructure change like we've never seen. lit cost us more money to educate our kids than less. we need to get in school and now florida is in the epicenter of this hurricane. now we have two crisis going on. our governor has not given us leadership. we're looking for this but we need to do this because there's 2 tn 2.8 million children depending on us to get back in school.

>> we have seen in other states where teachers are prepared to strike. in arizona teachers strikes are possible. washington post reporting there may be strikes. are the teachers in florida prepared to go on strike if the governor forces schools to reopen before you all feel comfortable? >> in florida we haven't had since 1968. it's against the law to strike. these are last recoursorts. teachers are filling out living wills. they need to two back to school. they want to do the work and love children. they are doing everything they can. i spent the better part of the week in washington, d.c. with the american federation of teachers who had the first reopen prehensive plan. our federal government, our state government is leaving us lost. we can't leave chimpb lost in our public schools. we will not be the petri dish

for america. we need this help. we're asking everybody who scare cares about kids to get behind us and let us do this in smart, heroes act in the congress so we can get the money we need to protect our kids. >> dr. blackstock, i want to ask you about what the administration seems to want to do is hupush this drug they wan every one to take. now they have someone doing it with them. dr. stella who is a pediatrician. here he is putting forth herself as an expert that conservatives should listen to instead of like dr. fauci. >> people are dying. we are news of a kid died. he didn't have to die. people are like he should have a wore a mask. he should have. it's most likely he would not have died if he had the drug.

>> i believe she's a pediatrician has said things about people having sexual relations in demons in their sleep and masks are not helpful in stopping coronavirus. as a physician, yourself, what do you make of her growing influence among conservatives who do not really believe that the coronavirus outbreak is a real threat? >> obviously, very, very concerning and disturbing that she is sharing this misinformation. we know so far from numerous well done studies is hydroxychloroquine has negative side effects. it's people like herself that have encouraged myself and other colleagues to speak out and make sure we're conveying accurate,

responsible information in this pandemic. it's very concerning and disturbing she's sharing this information. i want the public to know we have tremendous evidence that says this drug is not effective and can be harmful. >> we're out of time, jonathan. do you have any reporting that suggests donald trump or anyone near him has any financial interest in this drug because he does seem obsessed with it? >> there's been a lot of investigate iive reporting into that suggestion. there's been suggestion that the company owns a small fraction of percentage in some overseas operation. to this point, there doesn't seem to be a significant financial investment from the president or people close to him. you can rest assure the reporters are still looking into this. very briefly, i was in the briefing room on wednesday when the president at the white house, the president defended his we retweet of quack

medicine. this is dangerous. you combine that with his scatter shot messaging on masks. he didn't keep his distance or wear mask. it's not an example for most americans should be following. >> yeah, indeed. thank you all very much. next, trump's desperate and dishonest claims about mail in ballots and voter fraud. >> why are you spending more energy to get the resources and the funding for the states that they want to be able to secure this election for all americans? >> you know nothing about my energy. you know nothing about what i'm doing. >> what are you doing? >> you know nothing about what i do. >> he's now openly trying to steal the election because he cannot win it honestly. al franken is here on trump's very, very bad week. on trump's very, very bad week. - hey, can i... - safe drivers save 40%!!!

donald trump isn't even pretending anymore. he set aside the fa said and let his aauthoritarian tendencies spill out into the open. yesterday he called protesters in portland, terrorists and threatened to send in the national guard. according to the washington post, the department of homeland security has created intelligence reports on journalists who have been covering the protests. in addition to that, he's threatened to delay the election. today, he even brought out his favorite fear monger in a tweet cbs reporter caught stephen miller emerging from his crypt to go on fox news and claim that mill in ballots will lead to fra fraud. tru trump's behavior that become so alarming that they have had it. it was written that trump's tweet about delaying the election is fascistic is itself

ground for the president's immediate impeachment. today the lincoln project released a new ad calling him out for what he is. >> a failed president facing defeat. with millions of out work and tens of thousands dying from his incompetence and neglect. donald trump, here is the message. we will vote. we will defend america. we will throw you and your failed cronies out of office. the choice, america or trump. >> i'm joined by tom nickels. this is your ad, tom. i'm going to go to you first. we have to start talking about

fascim. you also say that donald trump's calls to delay the election are fascistic. is that where we are now? >> we're not there yet. i don't know what's going on with your audio there. >> we're not there yet. i think it's interesting that you the head of the federalist society use the term like david's term. a fascist has high discipline. one of the reasons we're not there yet is because donald trump and most of his supporters are not nearly that disciplined and that cohernent but trump's

moves are auto cattic. he's terrified of losing the election. rather than lose it, he would burn it down and cast the election into doubt so when he loses, he can have some excuse, some reason for saying that he lost. maybe even delay the election so he can just do as much damage as possible on the way out. he's like a little kid flipping over the checkers board because he's losing the game. that's what he's doing to try to do. what's interesting is that there are people who aren't going to help him with that which one helpful side. >> the challenge though is the people who will help. i think that's what lot of people are afraid of. the republican party has laid down for this for something the federalist society that has gotten 200 judges all packed away has called fascistic. let me let you listen to what

nancy pelosi says. >> to understand this, want to cancel this election, postpone the election, really? he learn that from putin or something. >> somebody who has some expertise in this, politic poli requires the pentagon to take training to refer to protesters and journalists as adversariead. if you have the secretary of defense training their employees to treat journalists and protesters as adversaries, this is alarming. your thoughts. >> it's extremely alarming. we can get into an argument about whether it's time or whether it's useful to use the word fascist. i agree with tom. we're not there yet. donald trump has made it clear he would love to get there if he could. the question of whether he can

really is a question of how many enablers he has. the republican party has turn into a party of enablers because he can commit political murder by a single tweet. all of them fall in line. the question is, are the uniform services going to be his enablers as well. i think we saw really interesting case study, a really scary study with layfayette sc e square. that association was too toxic. first secretary esper and a week later the joint chiefs of staff said no, actually, we didn't know where we were going. really frightening defense on its own. we don't want to think of these men as going somewhere without knowing where they are going but it really clear indication of that, if association becomes too toxic, too ill legitimate they

will not support him. >> i think you're right in that the military has proven very much determined to protect the legitimacy of themselves. they're not going to allow donald trump to necessarily spoil their legitimacy. there's stay in hotels and corrupting influence there but i'm wondering across the board. you have census door knocking, the pressure to finish the count. meaning the census is being undermined. the way in which we apportion power in this country. it itself is being undermined. the postal service, they have a flunkie in there that's upsi undermining it. you have russian median returning to this trumpist hour narrative, we own this guy. according to what russians think about donald trump, he's an owned property. they own him and all of this put together and the fact there are so many complicit people is

frightening people that our system won't hold. >> you know, russians are all over the place in donald trump. i wouldn't go to russian media which is giant trolling operation. you're right. the indicator of institutional decay and destruction of norms and the enforcement of laws is there where ever you look. you look at the census, the judiciary, the congressional checks and balances. you look at the system of inspectors general. anywhere you look you have seen immense e destruction of the checks we have placed pouner here. >> you see it all throughout the republican party. i watched that hearing today. you see the siycophancy.

i see no hope anyone will stand up to him if he does decide to go full authoritarian. >> we're watching the wrong people. we're watching the clown show. we're watching the usual guys jumping around with bells on their caps. when inspecthe person we ought watching is william barr, the attorney general who is acting as an acting president and super empowered interior minister. emotionally and mentally, donald trump has gone bye bye. the guy who can issue orders and cause problems when things get down to the wire will be the attorney general. the person who is supposed to be the ultimate person for the constitution but acting like a con sill area for a mob boss.

you need to look at the fepeopl who are comp tent and quietly trying to undo the foundations of our government. >> thank you both. really appreciate you both. remember this national nightma nightmare. >> more twists and turns in florida. the recounting starts then stops by order of the nation's highest court. >> trump's already laying the ground work for contesting november's election. how would he do it? that's next. it that's next. we see you....looking out for all of us. but you can't lose sight of your own well-being especially if you have a serious chronic medical condition. at aetna, we're always here to help you focus on your health. because it's always time for care.

the bush v gore disarray might be nothing compared to what we're facing this november with a president and his party determined to sow confusion, break the system and maybe get a little russian dressing on the side. thank you so much for being here. you and i have been texting about this. this is something that does alarm me. as much as congressional republicans and senate republicans say, oh, no, no, no.

trump can't delay the election. everything will be fine. we're going to have an election. they're not the only elected republicans out there. is there a concern that the even more sycophantant runs in the states would get in the way of a free and fair election and hand it to donald trump? >> there's a possibility but i wouldn't get too alarmed about it. there is a statute that congress passed that says if the election does not produce any winner in a state, then it's permissible for the state legislature itself to nominate a slate of electorates. that could happen in states like pennsylvania or texas but it would not ultimately carry the day because it's up to congress when it counts the votes in january, actually, this time

it's going to be on january 6th. it's the new congress to decide which electors to consider. there is a procedure, very elaborate procedure in every state for resolving disputes by the date of the so called safe harbor on december 8th. really all of the efforts that trump is making to both pretend that he can extend the date of the election, which ever one understands he can't do that. that date is set at november 3rd by act of congress. all of that is designed simply to cast doubt in the way that putin wants to and the way that bannon has tried to do from time to time on the ability of our system to work. they're trying to make it look chaotic but there's a fail safe mechanism built into the constitution itself. no matter how much dust he

throws into the gears, at high noon on january 20th, 2021, if there has not been a new president elected, at that point, nancy pelosi, speaker of the house become president of the united states. all of these enables and i very much agree with tom nickels that the most dangerous of them is not one of the clowns but is william barr, all of the enablers at that point woud risk committing federal felonies if they were to exercise power which they no longer have because trump would no longer be president. that's the fail safe. constitution is not designed to self-destroy but it's designed to self-preserve. the real game that i think trump is playing is a game of making us all doubt that the system will hold. making us doubt that it will

hold. making us doubt all of our institutions. by sowing doubt and sowing division and distracting us with phony claims about delays the election, the president is really doing putin's bidding of essentially shaking our system and making us lose faith in all of our institutions. that's been his game from the start. undermining our traditions, undermining our institutions. i think in the end the hard wired elements of the system will hold. >> for instance, there's this mr. louis dejoy who is undermining the postal service, slowing it down. making tlie ining deliveries sl. assignments that part of an overall strategy to make it look like mail in ballot, which people use all the time, absentee ballots are mailed in. you just mail your ballot in. he's trying to make that look like fraud. say he manages to slow it down

so much that nobody, there's not enough of the states counted, ballots counted by december 6th or whatever that a state says we can't complete our vote count because it's not come through the mail and lots of lawsuits. william barr files lawsuits on trump's behalf and says these elections aren't valid. say the battleground state, arizona, florida, michigan, north carolina, wisconsin say since we couldn't get a vote count, we decide the trump electors is who we will see. can congress say no, we're not taking those? >> exactly. in some of those states, i think north carolina, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin even though the state legislature is a republican control, the governorship is in control of the democrats. the legal procedures in those states for deciding whether there is a winner and if so, who is winner is by the safe harbor

date is procedure that gives the governor critical role, a decisive role in some instances so that the idea of simply throwing up one's hands and saying we don't know who won is not going to work. in the end, congress will have to decide who won and the congressional decision will be made by the new congress. there's ever reason to believe that the new congress is going to be in democratic hands. i wouldn't, at this point, play trump's game of throwing up our hands and saying there will be no winner. trump is going to win by default. you can't really do it. the defall solution is president nancy pelosi and i can think of worst things than that. >> you have made a lot of people's night. l lawrence tribe. president pelosi. she'd have a fabulous mask on

well, welcome back. it's been quite a week. who better to talk about it than former senator al franken. okay. i've got to ask you, what do you think of the notion that donald trump messes things up and makes things so murky there's no winner and we get president pelosi? >> i heard lawrence tribe say that. i trust lawrence tribe and the constitution, so that's good news. before we start, let me be the first to congratulate you on your new show.

>> thank you. thank you, senator. i appreciate that. somebody has to be first. you got there first. let me ask you about this. donald trump, you tweeted about donald trump's top ten excuses for losing the election. i'm going to put five of them up. antifa. dement dementia, russians dropped the ball. i was laser focused on covid. russians dropped the ball and dementia. if he lose, is this what we're looking at? what do you think he'll really say? >> that's a really good question. i bet he doesn't show up at the inaugural. i can bet you that. he's got -- by all rights he should lose. the economy is tanking.

we're losing -- it's spiking again. it's all his fault. he ignored it for two months and if you look at just how we did compared to other developed countries, south korea, i believe had it first case the same day we did. since then, they had 51 million people. since then they've had 301 deaths. florida has approximately 21 million people and yesterday they had 253 deaths. we know exactly what to do. you have masks. social distancing, testing, contact tracing and isolation. that's what other countries have done and guess what, then these countries have been able to open their economies and the disaster numbers that we got for this last quarter are all on him.

when i was in the senate, we had the ebola crisis. we led a global effort to fight that. cdc was in africa. they went into liberia. our military built hospitals there. this president -- we beat it then. it's a different disease. this president instead of handling a global crisis like the indispensable nation in the world which we're supposed to be. he said it's the governors. i'll have the governors. if after pearl harbor, the president said this is more or less hawaii's problem. >> what do you make of the fact that as a new yorker, he and jared curb mkushner dispensed w blue states, new york, new jersey, places they grew up and said that's their people.

it's not our people. we don't have to do anything about that. >> you know, they are so cynical, these people and you see that right now in the inability of the senate. people are very scared. they're scared of being evicted. they're scared of losing unemployment and the senate has done nothing. may 15th, the house passed the heroes act. all of this runs out. >> you worked there -- you worked in united states senate. what is going on inside mitch mcconnell's head? i guess you can't diagnose him, the fact they would send republicans home. they don't seem to have any

urgency or don't want to pass more money to help people. do you -- have you been able to understand that? did you have conversations with them that could explain that? >> that's the case with a lot of them. they just don't want to help every day people. that's who the republican party is. then there's the rest of the republican party who also doesn't want to help every day people but who are sort of the cowardly enablers who are there. this is a disgrace. they think their job, for some reason, is to simply, you know, make sure that -- to get judges through. that's all they do. that's all they've done. >> yeah. i got to play one little sound bite for you. we try not to play too much in this show but here he is. this was a promise that he made

that has somehow not come true. here he is. >> you've been in office three and a half years. >> we haven't had -- excuse me. you heard me yesterday. we're signing a health care plan within two weeks. a full and complete health care plan. >> he promised a complete health care plan within two weeks of that interview. remember he was going to repeal and replace the affordable care act and replace it with something terrific. >> yeah. >> when it happened, he literally said, i think you'll remember this, he literally said who knew health care was hard. the answer was everybody. this guy is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of americans. this is the american carnage

that he was talking about. this guy -- >> absolutely. >> reresponsible for this economy. those other countries their economies have opened because they knew how to handle this. this guy after two months of denying that it was serious couldn't admit that he had made a mistake and that's why we're continuing to -- he was not e e encouraging people to wear masks. that's not become a political issue in any other country. >> absolutely. senator franken is sticking around. first, get ready for your weekly moment of joy.
