obviously more poor people in the india than the whole of sub-saharan africa and just these a congress party fighting over hereditary leadership is it fundamentally broken is the new light in the tunnel well the light in the tunnel is the fact that you have hundreds of thousands of people on the street protesting the b.g.p. agenda i think the problem is a similar problem in many so-called democracies are not time these are sort of places where mass politics is being corrupted by money has been corrupted by the manipulations of whatsapp and so on that's a serious question the united nations for instance should impanel a commission to discuss money and democracy it's not just a problem in india it's a serious problem in the united states in the united kingdom and in other countries which you know pretend to have a democratic country or democratic process i should just ask very briefly obviously pakistan was not happy about the arms deal given the worst attacks on the mainland united states emanated from the pakistani border with afghanistan and of course saudi arabia do you think trump is putt

necessary to try to make the transition they need work but the former really wanted a national congress party which was designed and deemed illegal by the executive council was headed by the congress or by the sovereign council have expressed a lot of response and they're saying that we are just transitional government is illegal and acceptable and that they when. we also have extremist groups that are calling for the government to be ousted soon lots of 5 of them want to sit at the most stepping up to claim responsibility. me that the prime minister has been targeted the woods would seem that they would be those who have grievances against him is there a significant proportion of those who do not support. well at the moment we it's very hard to catch it supported feed on social media people coming out of it support the prime minister despite the fact that he recently appointed the head of a separate set of the sovereign councils that had an economically can and some people do have a grudge against the deputy head of the party the suffering council saying that he is behind the attack on to ca

nation and he was he was not a not a communist not a member of the guy never a member of the congress party interesting only all of his siblings remember a lot of what he had worked for norman thomas in 1920 the great socialist and presbyterian minister and they go to. princeton graduate resident resident and after. he'd worked on his presidential campaign and i guess partly because he'd done that and partly because he hadn't grown up in new york and had been in city college he was somehow immune to the blandishments of american communism although he was sympathetic you know and he and he also was immune to the paranoia of the red scare i mean he would go on stage in new york in the fifty's and he would he would make a joke he'd say he would open his shirt and show red underwear he said where i'm wearing my red underwear today as you can see what a red eye well he has that great quote what is that i may be a red son of a bitch but i'm keeping thomas jefferson a lot of. so you know there there just. discourse america became shut down and stone was very clear about who he blamed for this beca

congress first. we have a responsibility to understand our alliance from every angle. the best way to do that is to go to israel with members, including from other parties. that is why i have visited israel five times in ten years, with 189 republican members of congress. (applause) steele it is also were closely with my good friend, the majority leader skinny hoyer are trips a bipartisan. i am proud to report that last year strip brought over 15% of the entire house of representatives to israel at the exact same time. think about that for one moment. 15%, as you see this picture, of the entire house is in israel at one moment. republican and democrat. understanding the value of our friendship. you are (applause) these trips bill commodity across the aisle in israel and beyond. they benefit decision-makers and decision-making. this is its greatest value. members tell me it is the most impactful trip they have ever taken. the second pillar of our special relationship is that it is mutually beneficial. we see this not only in the realm of national security but also in domestic values. in california, navigating water shortages is a reality for our resident

i think also across party lines there are real efforts and some recognition that achieving real influence for latinos in congressn when the republican party recognizes it has a stake on winning hispanic vote too. once this constituency to the point that both parties are competing for their vote to a greater extent than they are now, we will see greater influence for latino positions when it comes to making decisions about budget and on education issues and immigration. some of the interviews i conducted with representatives were revealing. one representative when i asked the question what are you considered to be latino interest issues? she said, every issue is a hispanic issue. we have Ãbi'm paraphrasing, but hispanic interest in education we have unique needs when it comes to healthcare. we have disproportionate reliance upon social security, we have disproportionate service on our armed forces. that makes every issue of interest to latinos. i think really if you are talking about the broader influence on a whole host of issues we are talking about providing perspectives on those issues that may be worked ther

we're going to work with leaders with both parties in congress to make sure not only our federal agencies have all the resources they need but our state and local governments, health care providers, have the resources and the support to provide the care that every american would want. remember, chuck, this is about the lives of the american people.

we did, and we live now since the 1990s through a time where we haven't had a stable majority party in congress which itself is pretty unusual. both parties always think next time are going to win everything, so don't compromise now. just wait until our people get in and then we will be able to do everything we want. it never works that way. congress basically always sit around waiting for the next election when we will really be able to finally do our work. accepting the fact that ultimately the people you don't like are not going away is the beginning of a civil democratic politics. our politics now is premised on the idea that maybe next time the people we don't like we'll just go away. that's how we approach every election cycle, and both parties do this. it's just bonkers. it's completely disconnected from any understanding of what american life looks like right now which is a very divided society that needs help come together. i think a set of congressional reforms that try to address itself to that need would try to force a less majoritarian and more accommodative congress. i would not g

both parties in congress must work together as swiftly as possible. to get something done that is as big and bold as possible. this is one of the worst crises america has faced. the american people need help fast. we are all eager to work in a bipartisan way to quickly get another bill to the president best. at the moment, the mcconnell bill is inadequate. nearlyposals do not do enough to address the public health crisis in terms of hospitals, medical supplies, , measures to ensure that americans can access and afford coronavirus treatment. if we don't deal with the health crisis, nothing we do will make the economy any better. many hospitals will close. later is no good. we need a marshall plan for hospitals right now. and we need local governments that are on the front lines to get dollars in their pockets. leader mcconnell's proposal is skewed in favor of big corporations instead of workers and families who much more urgently and acutely feel the pain. there are ideas that should not be included at all, including tax cuts for big corporations. memb

is there any question at the same time that many members of congress of both parties now run for officeast to be involved in legislative work and more to have a prominent platform in the culture wars to become more visible and cable news or talk radio to build a bigger social media following to use their elected office mostly as a platform to complain about the very institution they work so hard to enter. they see that as what their borders want so they are always performing for the core purpose and audience. our two major political parties right now anything other than two platforms for performance they have a function other than displaying and elevating narcissists? do we even remember what the goals of the political parties was to be at this point? we look beyond politics too, think about the professional à Ãprofession of journalism. it institutional strength is insistence on a formative integrity on a process of editing and verification that helps us to be sure that what it provides is reliable but today a lot of journalists constantly step outside of those institutional constraints

we met every week for about a year with this group of people from congress, both parties and me, independent and outside experts. this was a serious discussion. i am in the middle of a congress that doesn't get much done. i understand your feelings. it is all't agree bad. we have confident people within our government. there is an agency in dhs that is often in disarray -- this part of it, which deals with these threats, with secretaries of state across the country are doing a good job and a highly competent job. is it good enough to fully protect us? thatut there are pieces are working. keep the faith. host: a democrat, good morning. caller: good morning. host: go ahead, thomas. caller: good morning, gentlemen. --ave little faith second.ld on one we are going to try again. caller: good morning. i have little faith in this president resident of the white house who did not serve and i served and he said he knew more than the he knew more than the generals. coronavirus is serious. we need steady leadership. we need mental leadership. will y'all discuss the 25th amendment? thank you. host: cong

both parties in congress must work together as swiftly as possible to get something done that is as big and bold as possible. this is one of the worst crises america hasth faced. the american people need help fast. senator mcconnell has proposed what is now the third phase of legislation to confront the coronavirus. we are all eager to work in a bipartisan way to creep we get another will the president's desk. but at the moment the mcconnell bill is inadequate. leader mcconnell's proposal does not do nearly enough to address the public health crisis in terms of hospitals, medical supplies, beds.jars, nurses, measures to ensure that americans can accept that afford coronavirusvi treatment. the bottom line is very simple. we will dealth with the health crisis. nothing we do willr. make the economy any better so number one it's not anywhere helpful for hospitals. many small ones are going to close in rural ones will close. the big ones will have real trouble. they must do something and get there is nothing in leader mcconnell's bill to help hospitals. now we are told we may do it in the a

came to congress, a northern party. an anti-slavery party. the republican party. unlike former northerners, republicans running for congress, in their promotional campaign material, insisted that they would fight the slave power. a congress, that had th real meaning to it. some republicans in the 1850's were fighting men, unlike northerners who came before. they came to congress armed, they stood up to bullying, and they said so often. so when you read in the time see northerners rise to the feet when being bullied and they will say things like, you can't say that about me to read i am a different kind of northerner. i am a different kind of person. i will not take this. you better be careful. so clearly, the arrival of the republican party and these different kind of northerners changed the dynamics of bullying in congress but it also confronted americans with a difficult decision. what should they do when confronted with duels or challenges or insults aimed at provoking a duel? it is wanting to stand up to southerners

congress. a northern party. an anti-slavery party. the republican party. unlike former northerners, republicans running for congress in their promotional campaign material insisted they would fight the slave power, and in congress that had a real meaning to it. some republicans in the late 1850s were fighting men unlike northerners who came before, that came to congress armed. they stood up to bullying. and they said so often. so when you read in this time period the periods equivalent of the congressional record, again and again you see northerners rise to their feet when being bullied and they will say things like, you can't say that about me, i'm a different kind of northerner, i'm here to stand up, not to bow down. i'm a different kind of person. i am not going to take this. and you better be careful. but clearly, the arrival of the republican party and these different kinds of northerners changed the dynamics of bullying in congress. but it also confronted republicans with a difficult decision. what should they do, duels or challenges at provoking a du

now i think congress showed strong, decisive leadership in addressing the coronavirus. as appropriators and both parties often do and members in congress are still capable of doing even. [inaudible] we put our label aside, we put came together for the american people. i assume that is something the president is not doing. we saw ms. information on national television, downplaying of potential risk to the american people by the president, i was concerned that he worried more about a market impact then human lives. his administration's initial proposal for a one point to 5 billion in spending, plus authority to divert one point to billion from such things as low-income heating assistance of bolide that was reckless. when i saw that first, with the request to avert money from low income heating assistance i talk to someone in vermont who is very concerned about that. they said by the way, it is 10 degrees below zero today. the administration wanted transfer authorities to allow them to move other money in unidentified ways. i'm sure it little thought was given to what was needed and how much was needed. i

congress was really up and arms. members of both parties was up in arms that the administration had not come to congress and given forewarning. they are trying to flex their muscles and say, listen, the constitution says the congress -- congress shall declare war and this resolution reminds the president of that. even though this goes to his desk and they cannot have power to overturn a veto. build he did sign was the $8.3 billion emergency spending measure to adjust the coronavirus outbreak. what else can we expect from congress in terms of key hearings or potential legislation on coronavirus in the coming weeks? mike: i think you will hear a ton of things. his whole past week on capitol hill was just monopolized by coronavirus and administration officials coming up every day and briefing members of both chambers. both an open hearings and behind closed doors about the latest developments. just because the lingering uncertainty, how widespread is it, when will the test kits go out, how many will go out, where will they go out, who will pay

came to congress, a northern party. anti-slavery party. the republican party. congressns running for , in their promotional campaign materials, insisted they would fight, and in congress that had a real meaning to it. some republicans were fighting men, unlike northerners who came before. they stood up to bullying. and they said so often. equivalent read the of the congressional record, again and again you see them rise to their feet and they say things like you can't say that about me. i am here to stand up, not to bow down. it confronted republicans with a decision. what should they do when confronted with duels? it's one thing to stand up to autherners, but fighting duel? it probably crossed the line. the documents i found addressing this specific problem. it was signed by three congressman and it tells the decision about dueling that they made in 1858. at a certain time, when the insults became particularly offensive, these men went on to make a group decision. they could not stand the familiar nation and they coul

why would she spend campaign monny, why would she do this when her party controls congress and they cannot pass something that week and sent us home? reporter: the president yesterday floated the idea of tax cuts potentially. what else might you be hearing in terms of economic measures to provide relief to people who may not be working? and your reaction to that? mr. mccarthy: we are looking at a number of measures. we have a very strong economy, low unemployment. we want to look is there a way those who are hurt, hourly wage and others. is there ability to help keep the economy moving as strong as it is today. i talked to treasury mnuchin, we have cud low as well. a number of measures, but we want them to be best served. you'll hear as we move forward. kevin brady and i have been discussing a number of measures. reporter: president trump that coronavirus is not as pad as flu. despite that high death rate. do you think that is an accurate and appropriate message given the virus isn't contained yet? mr. mccarthy: the one thing i have watched from this president. the president realizes this

but now it is incumbent upon us to continue the effort and we will work with members of both parties in congress to increase the resources, and just as important to resource the state and local health officials as they engage in the kind of the preventative measures and treatment that will mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. >> as you know, the community spread is one of the most concerning, because people who contracted it in china and that is one thing, and obviously, we don't wish it upon anybody, but there is an understanding of where it came from and the same thing from the doctor might get it from a patient, and there are other people who have community-spread coronavirus. what is being done to figure out how they contracted this virus? >> the way it works, jake, is that local health officials are in the lead, but in the cases this weekend, and this week that emerged as a, as you said a community infection, we send the cdc officials in closely to identify where they potentially were exposed to the coronavirus, and that aggressive effort is under way. >> who heads that -- cdc, hhs? >> o

party. so the civil rights bill there was a high percentage of republican members of congress until the democratic party came to own that set of policies. so it meant these were difficult conflicts and there were people who lost their lives in the conflict, they didn't threaten the fundamental stability because they didn't create a condition in which everything was at stake with every election which is the situation we are in now with these incredibly high stakes and this bifurcation of the country into two distinct coalitions to undermine the legitimacy and fairness that the system of democracy has to depend on. that is the fundamental challenge. the thirties was a challenging time thinking democracy had come to its end and perhaps since the election of 1932 it would've turned out differently or do we long. >> so all of which should remind us that self-governance and democracy is not something to take for granted so it is somewhat fragile. >> talk about this mid century for parties system to parties within each party so was there a bargain made on the issue of race and civil rights that the parti

will mean for their health and this goes as far as even the agencies the african national congress the governing party and south africa it's only youth league has promised to stage a march if indeed this group of people is quarantined in a specific area in the province of limpopo. and now look for you through images of deserted world famous landmarks empty streets initially the same which could soon be repeated right across europe as more countries follow each of these decision to close its public spaces to contend coronavirus. so all the latest news on coronavirus now thievin these headlines the e.u. condemning the decision by the us to suspend all travel for most of europe for 30 days after the world health organization declared coronavirus a pandemic the e.u. warning this move could cause economic disruption new measures to contain the outbreak of being rolled out across europe schools are being closed in arlon norway and the czech republic is in complete lockdown in spain the number of deaths nearly doubled in 24 hours to $84.00 in iran the number of cases has gone up more than a 1000 in just the

but what we write about are everything from the majority party in congress and leadership in congresso the democratic primaries. we write about the power of the president. there are also contributions about parties in other countries like in south america. , how do other parties work in different countries? so we all come to the subject from a different perspective. but the idea is that we are writing about political parties in contemporary politics. susan: where does the name come from? professor green: i believe it comes from the federalist papers. i believe it was alexander hamilton. i'm pretty sure that is it. [laughter] susan: "mischief of faction" is the title, and we will send people in that direction. they can find more about its origin. there have been 54 people who have served as speaker of the house over time. how many of them are history percentage-wise? professor green: percentagewise? i would say depending on how you count it, maybe 10% to 15%. susan: what makes for a successful or powerful speaker? professor green: from my perspective, i think several things make for a

we're talking to the whole delegation about it -- members of congress, both parties, our senators. we are going to fight to make sure new jersey's able to keep moving on. there's a huge amount of pressure on the state right now, an enormous amount of pressure. we have to do our job in washington, and i'm hoping we're going to vote as late as next week on a package that will include more significant resources back to the state of new jersey to do whatever you need, governor. whatever you need, you know that the line is open. please, we're here for you. anything that you need whatsoever. this virus does not see gender, religion, race, or political party, right? and we are truly all in this together. we are the greatest country in the world. we will get through this stronger on the other side. let's all stay healthy and stay safe and practice all the things the commissioner tells us to do to stay healthy. so thank you and god bless. gov. murphy: thank you. o well said. -- so well said. and i cannot thank you enough for your fierce advocacy for our state, not just your district, which

we are going to work together to see our way through this and working with leaders in both parties and congress, working with leaders at the state level all across this nation. i am confident we will. dr. tony fauci for an update on the status. >> thank you very much, mr. vice president. just to give you a very brief sketch of what we do every day, the cases continue to increase globally. we are paying particular attention to the cases in europe, italy, france. we are starting to see that. the relative number of new case comes down from china. what we are seeing in europe is that europe is in the upslope so that is something that is expected. that is the way these kind of outbreaks go. this is not a surprise to anybody if you look at the history of infectious diseases and outbreaks. in the united states, we continue to have new cases. as of this morning, there was 70012i believe with 27 deaths guaranteed by the time of this evening and that will be up and there will be several more. and tomorrow, there will be several more. we realized that this is something obviously that we have been saying a

spend a couple of minutes talking about elijah and what he meant to me, what he meant to this party, this congress. as some of you may know, elijah's roots were in south carolina. he was born and raised just a few miles where i was born and raised. and, of course, we all came along around the time that all of the activities that were going on that led to the brown v the board of education of topeka, kansas. so when i came here, i really spent a lot of summers out in an old area of baltimore called cherry hill. you all may know a little bit about cherry hill. i remember when they built those public housing out there and everybody -- my whole family had thought they died and gone to heaven when they went to live in cherry hill. and would invite me to come up and spend time with them. so it was my first time in baltimore was on cherry hill. so one day -- because i didn't know anything about elijah, i was talking to him, telling him about my experiences in baltimore and cher question hry how my family thought something really good happened to them that they were moved out there. he looked at me and sa

and president are the same party, the number of congress looked at the president and things, there is my captain. if they are from different parties, the matter of congress says they are the captain of the other team. balancesan checks and based on different assessments of the public good and independent judgments about wise policy, you get either single party compliance and an absence of checks and balances or you get this partisan infighting. in either case, it does not work out well. say -- the point i think you were suggesting -- the idea of individual responsibility and the extent to which we have to be responsible and we should feel responsible for our government is also a very important idea. benjamin franklin leaving the constitutional convention wasn't supposedly asked by some woman, what form of government had given us? star franklin famously supposedly responded, a republic if you can keep it. that is something i think we need to bear in mind. question, iask a don't disagree with a lot of the points you made, especially about the competition being areed and more o

encourage them for example on heart disease and obesity with totally corrupt members of congress inte both parties in state legislatures doing the bidding of agriculture by subsidizing food that kills us in penalizing food that is good for us. but as usual the idiot media and politicians say superficial nonsense instead of addressing the underlying issue. let's get things in proportion, over 10 million americans got the flu over the past year, how many have caught this flute in america? so far it is for. the facts in the science don't matter to the kings and queens of catastrophe, they need catastrophe, for their obsession growing the government and hatingnd trump. >> a proposal that is anemic in terms of addressing, with ebola we did five and now they're trying to take the ebola money. what he is doing is too late. >> for words, describe the administrations response to the coronavirus towering, dangerous, incompetent. >> he loves those four words, he said it five times in 24 hours, meanwhile the media compares coronavirus to ebola. >> if there is somebody in charge of coronavirus for the whole u.

. >> typically presidential power is protected by all presidents of both parties, congress tries to takee of the power back for the people but here we have a president who's been abused by executive power of the previous president and he sees clearly that this hour can be abusively used so no, i don't think president trump is weak on this issue. i don't think he's pulling punches. he wants real reform, he told him that and the people who pushed back, he said i tell people every night these rallies, i'm going to fix this problem. look what they did to me. i'm going to fix this problem. he says we can't go out to the american people and say well, we just reauthorized it. or they think of us? the president no space has to be fixed, he feels strongly about it. i feel strongly, mike and jim jordan and other reformers, we all feel strongly. something has to be done. we'll seek but i think nothing is going to be passed without real reform. lou: that is great news you bring us from that meeting. i want to turn quickly to lindsey graham, he's been promising there would be investigation, he would

taking the approach of an all of government approach in which the federal government leads congress and political parties come together, we saw that on friday with the passage of this bill by congress that's going to help get testing out there and some paid sick leave, what does the fullest of responses look like and who does it start with? >> well, everything should start with the president. it should start with the head of our federal government. but i do agree with what andy said a minute ago that if we are not going to get that type of coordinated response from the top, then local and state officials and business leaders and all of us should be taking matters into our own hands and doing what we can. i understand the tradeoffs that have to be made and there are consequences of keeping people home. here is the consequence of not doing that. we have seen what happens in china, what happens in italy when the health care system becomes overwhelmed. we are weeks away. we are weeks away from running out of icu beds, ventilators and having doctors and nurses make the decision of who gets to live and who get

parties themselves were these broad coalitions. so they were more flexible. and at a governing level, in congress, you could build different coalitions based on issues across parties that often the local identity was more important than the national identity and that allowed for - - politics that helped to grease the wheels of the legislative process. in an earlier era where local concerns were more important than national, it was just easier to build different coalitions at different times. now because the parties have become so distinct and separated and they're both competing for this narrow but elusive majority. the compromise of the coalition building that our system of government depends on no longer works. >> there's this fascinating kind of warning within your book and we will get to solutions later in the conversation about the nationalization of these clinical parties. this hyper partisanship as you call it. one thing that struck me is in reading your book, were our politics more in peril during earlier eras in the past century? perhaps during the great depression or the 1960s when we h

so i might look and say, my member of congress, she is a really nice person, but she is going to go vote with that other party when she gets to congress and i do not want that. the reason we see similar patterns are people are bringing that same partisan lens to local and state elections as well. >> the winning candidate at the state and local levels, it is dominated by the partisan view opposed to there is no list for gender even for women candidates? >> we know a lot more for women candidates at those levels because there are some. right? [laughter] the truth is we do not over much about women running for president. because it is kind of a new thing everybody is doing. so, women running in state legislative races for the house and senate, very well studied. so there are lots of ways to figure out if there is an advantage or disadvantage for women. in recent years, again i mean last 10 years or 20 years when we do experiments, when we show people randomly two candidates and call one jane and one john, it looks like women and democrats actually do have a slight preference for women. right? we can think about

it's up to congress first, we have a responsibility to understand our alliance from every angle. in the best way to do that is to go to israel with members including from other partiesn years with 189 republican members in congress. [applause] it is also why i work closely with my good friend, the majority leader to make sure our trips are bipartisan. [applause] i am proud to report that last year's trip brought over 15% of the entire representatives to israel at the exact same time. [applause] think about that for one moment. 15% as you see this picture of the entire house is in israel at one moment, republican and democrat, understanding the value of our friendship. these trips build commodity across the aisle of israel and beyond, the benefits is it unto decision-makers and decision-making. this is the greatest value. members tell me the most impactful trip they've ever taken. the second pillar of our special relationship is it is mutually beneficial. we see this not only in the realm of national security but in domestic value in california navigating water shortage is a reality for our residents, livelihood and productivity. our friends in israel face similar ci

congress for the 13th amendment abolishing slavery. they were working in alliance with republicans, with the republican party in congress to get rid of slavery in the united states. because of this work, stanton believed that the work she provided the party in that period would translate to women's equality after the war, it kind of political rate per quote, standard -- political quid pro quo, standard in american politics then and now. i'm going to posit explain a little bit about american party politics in case you're unfamiliar with it. at this point in time the republican party is the more socially liberal party and the democratic party is the more socially conservative. that will flip in the 1940's with the emergence of franklin delano roosevelt's new deal. ,ut in this time period republicans are more socially liberal, and democrats are more socially conservative. just keep that in mind when i talk about republicans and democrats going forward. had done somenton important work during the civil war, or veteran helped the republican party achieve their goal of abolition, she really believed that republicans would turn around and support e

product of the democratic leadership council going back further, there were effectively for parties in congress. there were southern democrats who are conservative and northeast and western democrats, rockefeller republicans who were liberal and relatively liberal and the more conservative republicans out west. those distinctions are gone and now a democrat from alabama is going to vote the same way as a democrat from my home town of seattle and a republican from seattle is going to vote the same way as a republican from alabama so we've erased the lines and the differences ideologically within each party are tiny. >> host: warehouse: peterson fallen? he's running in a district donald trump won by 30 points . >> guest: i don't think has voted for a democratic candidate for president in a long time. ironically in a state that voted for a democrat longer than any other state so peterson is a democrat of a different era. he's got a good shot at winning reelection if he did not win reelection, whatever republican won their primary certainly win that seat but peterson is run a very rare members of c

history, members of congress from both party and the president say it still may not be enough. >> weack, we have to go back. we will take care of the american workers and we take care of these companies that fueled this country and make the country great. it is not their fault. it is not their fault. >> now, one of the biggest questions facing president trump right now, what is he going to do on monday? that is day 15 of those 15 days to slow the spread guidelines. today, there are even more signs he is seriously considering easing them. just take a look at this letter to american governor, president trump sent today. it reads in part "my administration is working to publish new guidelines for state and local policymakers to use in making decisions about maintaining, increasing, or relaxing social distancing. and using data from extended capabilities the administration will offer guidelines, categorizing counties as high risk medium risk, or low risk" bill, expect a lot of question about that letter at today's coronavirus task force briefing. here is the white house. >> bill: kristen

but it speaks to the importance of this issue and how it deeply with congress and across party lines. black maternal health is not a partisan issue. is a life and death issue. the main goal of the caucus is and advance evidence-based policy solutions. he black maternal health momnibus acts of 2020 builds on legislation by filling gaps through nonnew bills to address every aspect of black maternal health crisis. throughout the process, we were very intentional about centering the voices of black women and ensuring that black women-led were consulted early and often. momnibus makes community-based organizations, growth and diversification f the workforce, quality measures, digital tools like telehealth and innovative payment models. to direct efforts to improve black maternal health momnibus focuses on high-risk poe lakeses women, g veteran incarcerated women and native americans. i want to take a moment to speak that i'm leading, the cara johnson act. cara was an entrepreneur. the world and she was a mother to a healthy little boy. 2016, she checked into a hospital with her husband, ch

then, i think both parties in congress are ready to launch another round of stimulus for the economy. first implement the $2 trillion bill that has just passed. paying a lot of attention to see what the reaction is. amanda: there is already strong reaction that there is not , as theor u.s. states front line of delivering a lot of the services that would combat the virus and obviously taking the economic hit. do you see evidence that is the case? mauro: absolutely. --ecially in terms of filing fighting the war against the virus itself. resources for the health care system. theou know, the effect of pandemic are heavily concentrated in three or four states. focus ourtherefore resources there, without neglecting the rest of the country. we need to be more focused. we are learning along the way. vonnie: the trouble is, that we know of. it's not that we have all of the data in the because the testing hasn't gone through yet either. the economyeas of that in spite of the stimulus package you are worried about right now? mauro: i would be very worried about the small firm sector. am, someelp

they're southern congress men, tea party, fiscal hawks, constitutionalists. >> that's right. and you don't have to go back that far, frankly, to the obama years when meadows was a real fringe figure in the congress among the house republicans. he was a rabble-rouser, the head of the house freedom caucus. he was that thorn in the side of speaker john boehner, but with the trump presidency and trump ascendancy in washington meadows got onboard that train pretty quickly, became the president's top defender or one of the top defenders on capitol hill, a major presence on fox news and conservative media and has really carved out an enormous amount of influence with the president. >> do you make anything of the timing? there are some, if you don't follow this too closely, that will say, look, this is the coronavirus thing and the white house is not handling it particularly well. are they bringing him in to distract or something else? a /* >> this was reported on "the new york times" this evening and did not announce it tonight. after the markets closed on friday for the weekend. so
