party politics because you became not just a member and not just a count of the convenor of the respect party which was a rising as an antiwar party at that time yes well the i had been in the labor party as a teenager and in 2003 i tore up my labor party membership card and said i can't remain in this party i spoke to the wonderful tony band he said at the time don't leave there are far too many good socialists out there with no home to go to and he was right but then the respect party was created after the war people often get confused over that and so were all of those homeless socialists gravitated around the respect party you saw the respect party as a as a home for the the. or saw the yes yes and became a leading figure under of course or a candidate because if you've actually fought but just european elections where you fought a parliamentary by election and rather of the learning of number correctly you know us about that experience well that vast was. quite a tough gig the. labor m.p. dennis macshane had. been charged with expense fiddling award at the sun something like that and he

why did our respected parties lurch so far to the left after long and successful students and governing? >> this is a great question. because there was the perception post financial crisis and post 9/11 we needed more radical politics because of the problems people were suffering. when we should have gone to radical modern we went to radical old-fashioned. the fact is you cannot persuade people to go back in time. so just reject that that's not how they live their lives. i have had this discussion with people after the financial crisis but many said the public has moved left and i say where is your evidence? they say the financial crisis , a failure of market and i say all you are telling me is why you think they should have moved left i said what is the evidence that they have? because when times are tough, tough, people want practical solutions and they want to know you are addressing the future. and that coalition that brought myself to power in the uk through to successful terms we governed as long as the longest one in history but yes we regarded that coalition is pro-business and

generally speaking yes germany is a country that is respected by both parties in that conflict. and therefore are probably why it was germany respected by the parties. there is little of the colonial past of germany germany's not very much engaged with. some things that people think negatively about the west and in that region. many people in the region connect germany to football mercedes-benz and things like that so generally speaking i would say that in the middle east people have a positive attitude towards germany and they think they think germans are also very punctual yes. on the german watch became a sometimes a something then when they said it was 10 o'clock it meant 10 o'clock you know exactly right yes yeah that's a good case of a stereotype being at an advantage and the more you talk to me a little bit about the ship that you were on i mean was it would you call it a ship or would you call it more like a large boat that's called a ship it's 90 meters long it was built in 153 and. the united nations chose the ship to have infrastructure the place in a short time so due

he said he should be kicked out of the respect party for this. as few as absolutely necessary back from around the country to washington to conduct this vote. they were frustrated that thomas massie wanted to have this vote on the record. here's how he explained his objection by doing this by voice votes when he talked to reporters. >> they're trying to cover up their votes. they had enough votes to pass the bill. they still refused to have a recorded vote. they told me they were trying to protect members. they're trying to protect the members who are there from political ramifications. like i said in there, i said make sure our republic doesn't die in an empty chamber by unanimous consent. >> you can almost hear black helicopters circling, the level of conspiracy theory that's going on, an effort to protect members from taking a dangerous vote. the senate passed this bill unanimously. the how the would have done so without his objection. as the news about joe cunningham which you just read, so clearly indicated, this is not a theoretical exercis

this is no respecter of political persons or political parties. many of my best allies an this issue are and have been democrats. democrats were pretty early to acknowledge the flaws in the patriot act and in the provisions of fisa. ever since i got here in 2011, i've been working across the aisle with senator leahy, with senator durbin, and with others to try to find solutions to these problems. one of the things that's happened in the intervening years -- this is my tenth year in the senate -- is that this really has become a bipartisan issue. it used to be me and a handful of democrats and senator paul worried about this. we've now got a pretty broad coalition of republicans and democrats who are concerned about this. they're worried about it because if it can happen to the president, it can happen to anyone. the american people have been influenced in so many ways by our own history, and our own history extends back many centuries, not just on this continent but back in the united kingdom, because, after all, it hasn't been that many years sin

it's an invisible killer when it doesn't respect party lines. it doesn't matter whether you're in a red or blue state. i think that's the thing he's struggling with. >> i want to read think from oxios. congress' in-house doctor told staffers that he expects 75 to 150 million people in the united states, roughly a third of the country, to contract the coronavirus. two sources briefed on meeting tell axios. what more can we expect from congress in terms of acting to get this under control? are there conversations about directives to hospitals around the country? to the cdc? is this being left to separate entities across the united states to decide how best to combat this? >> well, katy, our hill team has just confirmed that reporting, that the physician in congress is telling members and their staff that this could potentially a third of americans could be sickened by this. i think the conversation in congress right now is focused on, what can they do to help americans who are potentially facing serious economic challenges if they do the things th

elizabeth: perhaps in some respects. the partynts on a partisan level are different than they are today. in some respects, the republican party, the party of lincoln, it was not a great surprise that the chief justice earl warren and the warren court would be as active and supportive of civil rights as a was, which was in-line with the party of lincoln and the idea that there should be equality. i think in that respect, maybe not so much of a surprise. again, the issue is -- the question highlights an important point about the relationship between the appointing president and the court. which is that once the justices get on the court, this is the balls and strikes. you get these cases and you have to call them as you see them. justice thomas has said that, you heard the chief say that. whatever a president's expectations on some level, if you see some diversions, that is probably a good thing because it means the justices are doing their job. host: during the earl warren years, besides brown there are number of landmark cases and

respecting different opinions across the aisle. six members of congress from each party came together to work toward a common goal to make this institution better. americans deserve an efficient and effective legislature. a modernize congress will increase our ability to respond to the needs of communities, save taxpayer dollars, erase layers of bureaucracy, further professionalize the institution, and revitalize a transparent, understandable, and efficient legislative process. h.r. 756 is a package of 29 bipartisan recommendations from the select committee's findings on ways to improve congress. these recommendations will increase public accessibility, modernize the information technology offices used, streamline human resources, improving training official, enhance the ways we can communicate with our constituents, create more transparency and access to public documents, among other necessary advancements. mr. speaker, i'm a proud member of the select committee on modernization. and as the ranking member the committee on house administration i look forward to working t

terrorism i hope we can get some guidance from the agency's involvement from those we respect to compete with a third-party judgment and then to look ahead of the next challeng challenge. as we debate the coronavirus i urge my colleagues to do our best to find bipartisan ground to work on regardless of political allegiance those that are looking for us in washington to address the problem responsible i in a nonpoliticalal way they are made by political observers even the president himself let's not be derailed by that and then to guide us in thess appropriate way and then to live in a country and the best medical research on earth to make sure we give them all the room that they need to lead us through the crisis in a positive way. i yield the floor. >> i want to talk for a few minutes about where we are with the coronavirus response and supplemental. they all have the opportunity to be updated at the end of the da day. this isn't a new place to be this time

that we can get some guidance on this from the agencies involved and from those that we respect to give us third-party judgment on this. let us at this moment in time as we face this crisis look ahead to what the next challenge might be and be prepared for it. so as we debate this coronavirus, i would urge my colleagues to do our best to try to find bipartisan ground to work on. i have found across my state regardless of political allegiance, the people of illinois and in many other states are looking for us in washington to address this problem responsibly in a mature way, in a totally nonpolitical way. when statements are made by political observers, even by the president himself that are far afield from the truth, let's not be derailed by that. let's focus on medical expertise that we can trust. public health experts that can guide us through this in the appropriate way. and in the meantime, realize we are blessed to live in a country with the best, most talented medical professionals in the world and the best medical resources on earth. we want to make certain that we give them all the room they

are fairly sharp disagreements over on capitol hill over exactly which plan crafted by the respective partiesose impacted by the economic downturn thanks to the virus. >> the president has said he will sign this bill if the senate passes it. let's move this now. let's move this now. >> it is my intention that the senate will not adjourn until we have passed significant and bold new steps above and beyond what the house has passed. to help our strong nation and our strong underlying economy weather the storm. >> trace: the >> the senate majority leader is mcconnell, suggested after the packets to the hill we could see unemployment spikes 20%. that is enough motivation, he says, to get people responsible to get something to the president's desk to sign it into law and get help where that help is needed, a very complicated issue here in the nation's capital. we'll keep you apprised of anything that happens tomorrow. for now, back to you. >> trace: kevin corke live for us in d.c. the coronavirus pandemic spreading across the globe. live look now at the johns hopkins website that shows the reach o

respected very much. , a prominentsenior attorney in toledo. someone who had been on the board of elections. who had been prominent in the republican party. respected andll liked by everyone who knew him fran and i, don and tina, all of us extend to the wagoner family our deepest timothy. wife, we are so very sorry. to his children, mark and greg and jenniferedith and nicholas their father-in-law and to his seven beloved grandchildren. when we hear about this, these deaths, and other states, we have about them in ohio, many times we will not know that individual. it will be another number. think it is important for us to remember that each time we hear about a new death, it is someone who was loved. someone who lived their life, someone who wants to live longer. someone who was cherished. by the people and community. with theronted finality of death, and our judeo-christian tradition, we often turn to the scripture for comfort. the 23rd psalm. funerals andead at tells us, though i walk to the valley of the shadow of death, i will fear no evil. for thou art with me. thy rod and thy staff comfort me. is beginning of the psalm also well-known

these hard-working communities, se they respect their choices and them.ll deliver for >> i'm not going to comment meted out by the party but all voters should be and with th respect humility and i commend you for the hard work you do for the people. 20 million pounds for road improvements. and up to 50 million pounds in a high ew deal and future streets funding. in my view the people of manfield are well served by my friend. speaker, like many constituent was victim to the post office -- scandal. resulted in have bankruptcy, imprisonment and even suicides. the prime minister today assure chris and others that e'll commit to launching an independent inquiry? >> mr. speaker, i am indeed the scandal to which he disasters that have befallen many post office orkers and i'm happy and i've met some of them myself, i'm getting to mit to the bottom of the matter in the way she recommends. >> if you live in one getting t the of the rural villages in my take a ency, it can whole day to travel to and from hospital appointments because buses are so few and far in between. we be assured that the five to ion pounds will go improving

democratic party and have shown themselves time and again to turn out to largely saved the party in certain respects so i think this was a big victory for joe biden but it was also a big victory for black women but i think it will be probably by july when the convention is held in milwaukee a dead heat between joe biden and bernie sanders because no one is projected to have a majority of the delegates they're going to need by the time the convention comes so i think it will be a knockdown drag out fight and i think bernie sanders has not proven himself to older black voters yet i think a young people are very much in thrall with his campaign but he has not been able to prove to black folks who've been around for a very long time that he is the man and black voters are also very pragmatic i think bernie sanders has a lot of ideas and certainly he speaks to many of their interests but i don't know that black voters trust that he has the political capital to get it done as a black voters a very pragmatic voters they have to be our very lives depend on it and we know that sometimes we can't count on jus

of the democratic party and have shown themselves time and again to turn out to save the party in certain respects so i think this is a big victory for joe biden but it was also a big victory for black women and how indicative would you say is the result of south carolina. what is to come in all the southern states where there are large diverse communities particularly the african-american community will it be replicated i don't know if you will necessarily be the trouncing that joe biden had against its competitors tonight but certainly he's racked up some important endorsements in virginia from tim kaine collen all red in texas so i think he is showing that the southern states with large black populations are in fact where he's going to spend his time i mean north carolina just to the north or south carolina is also an important place so i think joe biden is certainly going to focus on this reliable segment of the democratic electorate because there is no one who can claim victory as a democratic nominee who cannot win black voters and we often talk about the black vote the african-american vote

right now to ensure that this is seen across the country as a big victory and in many respects it is for his likud party he has fought a campaign which on one side has been extremely negative in terms of its portrayal of his main challenger benny gantz but in its last couple of days has been fairly positive in terms of at least saying that he is on the brink of a decisive victory it's a campaign which began with that pledge in the white house at the end of january to start an exciting parts of the occupied west bank so this will be viewed with some trepidation by palestinian politicians and palestinians indeed we've already heard from from some of them condemning what is likely to happen in the wake of this election but for benjamin netanyahu who's one of his key priorities is to fight all of the corruption charges against him his trial is due to start in just 2 weeks time on bribery fraud and breach of trust the ability to stay in office whether it be at the head of a majority coalition of the managers to to stitch together in the coming days and weeks whether he continues to can take a prime minister

would like a normal president who will bring the country together and that everybody can respect no matter what partyhey're in. barack obama was such a president. this president is not such a president. even george w. bush was a divisive but didn't have a decisive personality. i can't imagine him saying anything like what donald trump just said. >> how do you look at this, john, from that standpoint? we've heard the argument before. we heard it in 2016 campaign that this trump style is not something the american people would want as the president now. do you think this because of the nature of it, it's a pandemic and degree of dread out there in this country, they look at his leadership differently now? >> for sure. i mean, this is going to make or break the presidency. there are -- there are parts of it that are totally beyond his control. if the pandemic is not as bad as we fear it will be and if somehow this kind of fades in a couple of months, then we'll be dealing with it in a different way, but don't think that the market going into, you know, don't think that this administration doesn't think

clyburn is really well respected not only on the party, but in the african-american circle.ng at a state where 60% of voters are african-american. that said, it's 2020 and we are entering this brand-new era. all of us our holding our breath to see if these types of traditional endorsements matter anymore. looking at nevada, we saw the culinary unions. -- critical of bernie sanders, yet many members broke ranks and voted for him anyway. type ofot sure if these traditional endorsements matter anymore but it sure mattered a , a decade ago when he voted for barack obama. biden hopes it will do the same for him. emily: sanders is still the front runner nationwide. michael bloomberg, the founder of this network had a disastrous first debate. some would say he improved in the second, but not enough. what are the chances of regaining some of the momentum he had? >> it is tough to come back from a difficult debate performance. he had a tough verse -- first debate, he did better in the second. he's not on the ballot in south carolina. we don't know because he is running a campaign we

and you know throws their way to support biden so you know in that in that respect you sort of see how you know the democratic party is her coalescing and micromanaging every way that they can support biden. and you know i see it you know bernie sanders he said the system was rigged you can see how it's being rigged against him former democratic chair donna brazil got into a heated exchange after a suggestion that the democratic convention would be rigged against we can listen together to just what was said hello of our race i get a 2nd term and for people to use russian talking points is so division among americans that is stupid so rather go to hell that is completely absurd i mean this is the same donna brazil who would pass the questions to hillary clinton so hillary would have you know an unfair advantage in the debates against her instanter so i mean that this is completely absurd and it's actually really really infuriating because what it is is you know it's really the democratic party trying to cover their tracks and really not so well in the fact that they're really working against you know bernie sanders
