shawna thomas, you've been looking at the 25th district in california. why?e been following katie hill around since february to track how a conditional campaign works. but what's interesting, this is one of those districts that went for hillary clinton in 2016 and elected a republican congressman. it's an incredibly tight race. it's gotten tighter in the last causigration or race-baiting. it seems like iec a g tepeal he0 miles from l.a. proper. they vote on their pocketbooks. it's kind of standard politics, which i have to admit, i was happy to see. >> dickerson: sure, regular old politics. >> their pocketbook and gas. >> dickerson: exactly. nancy, what are you going to be looking for on tuesday night? >> well, i'm watching for a couple things. first of all, women, i think that's going to be really fascinating. anecdotally we see that women particularly educated women have been turned off by some of the things that president trump has to say. they were turned off by the kavanaugh nomination spectacle. are they really moving toward the democratic party, or do

shawna and i are going to keep talking. do you think this is the way to solve things the looting and the rioting? >> absolutely not. this is not going to help anything. the way to do it is the way, you know our pastors have done it and our churches and our leaders, and the mayor. that's the way to do it. you know do everything peacefully let's sit down let's talk about this let's stop lethal -- >> we've seen to the police credit tonight, we've not seen lethal force. we've seen beanbags -- >> yes, they have -- >> reporter: you say the police have been restrained? >> yes. >> reporter: do you think this is the start of something new? >> i hope so. >> reporter: shawna i appreciate your time. i hear someone speaking to me and it's a little line. >> sean what do you hear on the ground about the alliance between the crips, the bloods the black guerrilla family which is a known gang there, and even islam that is threatening violence against the police. >> it's tough to ask any of the folks who were probably involved in either of th

you just heard that explanation from shawna. government slowing down the government because of a government investigation, different entities. >> well, it's all the same entity. you can try to pick pieces out of it if you want, but the truth is that, you know, in a federal court, the possibility that an fbi agent would come try to interview a translator that worked for me or a member of my team is zero. i don't understand what even -- i'm not involved in that case so i don't really understand what's going on. >> i'm just curious sdpl-- >> it's ridiculous. >> did the fbi ever try to do that to you? did you get evidence of the fbi trying to infiltrate your defense team? >> of course not, it's preposterous. i don't understand what they're talking about. if they have a belief that some member of a defense team has violated some rule, they can take it up with the judge. they can -- i just don't understand it at all. it just to me is a sideshow. gives you a good understanding of why nothing is happening and i don't think anything is e

shawna thomas is the washington bureau chief for vice news. ginger gibson is political correspondent for reuters. and jonathan allen's a digital reporter for nbc news. hard question to you, shawna, which requires some real interpretation. are they with trump because they really agree he's not kissing butt over there in helsinki or do they just agree with him all the time because they hate the media and the liberals? >> well, i think it's a little bit they hate the media and the liberals. but even nbc news's own poll, nbc news/"wall street journal" poll, said 88% of republicans approve of the job president trump is doing. >> his very being. >> the job he's doing. and if you believe the economy is getting better and the unemployment numbers are down and the stock market is doing okay and the trade thing hasn't affected you yet and what you vote on is the economy, then why wouldn't you stick with him? >> let me go to ginger. you give lip service to what happened in helsinki. if you're a business person. less regulation on the environment. i like

and shawna is absolutely right. look at all these vice presidents of the past.there one black person? no. is there one woman who served as vice president? no. there's only been one traditional practicing catholic in the whole history of the vice presidency. doesn't mirror our glorious diversity. when you look through history, not only do a lot of these vice presidents in various ways become future presidents, for instance, every vice president since 1928 has explored the idea of running for president. so these are possible future presidents. but at the same time, one choice can change history. ronald reagan, at the last minute, put george h.w. bush, as you well know and remember, andrea. 1980, on his ticket. the result was that bush served for eight years as vice president, four years as president, and later on his son served for eight years, totally changed the whole history of the next 30 years. that could be happening today or tomorrow. >> and we also saw, of course, the kennedy/johnson, you know, partnership. we know how they were rivals. and joe biden has s

shawna, thank you.appreciate it. >>> republican hopefuls and even president obama weighing in on the trayvon martin story. here's the president on friday in the rose garden. >> if i had a son, he'd look like trayvon, and, you know, i think they are right to expect that all of us as americans are going to take this with the seriousness that it deserves. >> okay. this was a very interesting conversation that i'm going to play for you now. i spoke with cnn contributor will c cane and elsie granderson and also senior writer at espn, and i asked them if the president should have commented on the case. they did not hold back. here it is. >> a lot of people are tripping over themselves trying not to say race, trying not to say color. you know what? that's a vital part of this conversation, that's a vital part of this entire scenario so to assume that president obama, a black man in the united states would not have a reaction to what happened to trayvon martin is incredibly ridiculous. so it's natural for him t

shawna, the president out tweeting this morning about immigration. he says no more daca deal. is happening? >> well, number one, there wasn't really much of a daca deal, i think you can see especially from the appropriations process and omnibus that democrats didn't push it. republicans don't seem to have way to get there. also it's in courts, basically. he's pretty safe saying there's no daca deal because there wasn't. i think the other interesting thing he said that they need to go to the nuclear option which we have heard the president's say getting rid of basically the filibuster in congress in the senate. this is also something that senator mcconnell has said i'm not for that. i think this is stuff we've heard from the president before and this is how he's spending his easter. >> what's interesting, too, with no daca deal, wasn't just democrats that lost something in protecting young undocumented immigrants, but also the president. only got 1.6 billion for border wall he knows it. i think there's -- conservative base for him to get started as much as they pitched the idea

>> good morning, shawna.a question we tackle frequently because of the lack of transparency that has been, as we say, medicine, pathanumonic has been classic of our pandemic response, unfortunately. it is difficult to find data that is made ubiquitously available to us as providers. and so, it is challenging. and so, it behooves us as medical providers to go above and beyond to make sure that we're coordinating institutions, like you know, academic institutions, different hospital systems, feeding their own databases so that we can share among each other until some sort of federal database is readily available to all of us, that makes all of this information readily available and transparent. >> it's amazing. six months into this, states scrambling to get testing done still. dr. jennifer peÑa, we really appreciate your insights this morning. thank you for being with us. >>> a couple of other headlines related to coronavirus. reuters has learned that the shortage of clorox wipes likely will last into 2021. tha

shawna, how important is it that a covid relief bill gets passed soon?, it's incredibly important. we have people facing evictions, we have people as kasie pointed out who are having a hard time putting food on their table. lines of people waiting outside churches as communities try to gather enough food to feed their communities. this is incredibly important, but the cynical part of me answers part of why it's important to congress and to the senate especially is that georgia senate runoff. if you are david perdue, if you're kelly loeffler who are currently senators in the united states senate, do you want to be running in that runoff if this government is not sending unemployment checks or sending more money to your constituents? georgians are literally their constituents right now. and so i hate to be cynical about this because there's so much pain in this country, there's so many people who have lost loved ones, so many people who have lost jobs, but part of the importance is the fact that we have got an election where the senate majority hangs in th

shawna, are you there on the scene? >> i'm in charleston. the cell service is so spotty at the scene itself, we are relaying information out as we can. >> yeah. i understand, it's a remote area. what's the latest? what are you learning there? >> reporter: you covered most of it. we learned within the past hour that 12 miners have been killed in this explosion. what mine officials are saying to us over and over again is that this is very much a rescue operation, not a recovery operation. they believe there are still 10 miners in that mine. and at this point, they believe they may have made their way to one of the two underground mine rescue chambers that are required after the sago mine disaster which was also in west virginia in a different part of the state. but they have signs and are hoping that mine rescue teams within the next several hours can make it to one of these chambers and will find the 10 miners, okay, inside. i know that this unfortunately happened, you covered this probably on several ocages in west virginia. what are the cha

and shawna, there is that bubble that jim vandehei's talking about. it's also a bubble that mitt romney and people who supported him in 2012 stayed comfortably inside of, believing gallop polls that had them up 11 points, believing every report on fox news. i remember even election night -- i'm sure you do, too, in 2012 -- you still had people on fox news insisting that mitt romney was going to win and that things were looking better in ohio. and the romneys were in shock that night, as were many people, because they were inside that bubble. well, that bubble has only become smaller and intensified even more, and actually, gotten far more outlandish, especially if you look at the crazed conspiracy theories that the president is now spitting out that he finds on facebook from qanon members. >> yeah, and sort of what's interesting about jim talking about living in that bubble for a day, is we also know the president does live in that media bubble because that media diet, whether it's fox news or ben shapiro or whatever we want to talk about, also compli

i want to bring shawna in. i'm sure you have multiple phones keeping up with every iteration of news coming in. i know you're following newt gingrich. how is he today on the trail? what's the news today? >> in one word, i think he had a lot of fire in his breath. he is -- he spoke at a tea party rally in mount dora today and he had quite a few stinging words for governor mitt romney, really he was trying to tie him to his connections to the financial world and connections to freddie mac, which has been a major attack that governor romney's been hitting toward speaker gingrich. so we'll definitely can expect a lot of fireworks tonight. >> how much do these candidates sleep? how much do you ladies sleep? do these candidates have a chance to work out at all? do they have any down time? >> well, hopefully it doesn't reflect too much on tv. we don't get too much sleep. but you know, nights vary. very long days for us, for the press. but also for the candidates. it's always remarkable to me that at the end of the day

i want to bring in shawna thomas for the next question. shawna? >> good morning. some of the information that the cdc released pointed to the fact that we are nowhere near achieving herd immunity. and i think people hear herd immunity and don't totally understand it. so, my question is, one, just what does it mean that we're nowhere near achieving herd immunity? and do we know enough about the antibodies to know whether herd immunity matters? >> yeah, shawna, that's a really important question to ask. so, you know, unlike a hot of other viral infections where once a person has the infection, we develop antibodies that then protect us. and if you have enough people who have protection, you actually are able to protect the other people in the community. we are not seeing that with the coronavirus. again, we are learning something new every day. our hope was that if enough people got the infection, that everyone else would be protected, we'd have enough natural antibodies built up. but look, sweden already did this experiment, and they did not really develop herd imm
