gary locke. what do you think this is really about? >> i think it's very clear they are casting gary locke, two-term governor of washington state and secretary of commerce under president obama is a chinese leader. and that's flatout wrong, on so many levels. the ad is trying to distract from trump's epic mismanagement of the coronavirus that has cost us two months of being able to identify patients, and trace their contacts. instead, we have wound up in our homes, trying to mitigate the spread. it's cost our economy trillions of dollars. cost our families thousands of lives. cost us millions of jobs. and so he is trying to distract from that. and, unfortunately, this ad is consistent with him calling

ambassador of china, gary lock, a also the governor of washington and commerce secretary to president obama. i'm wondering your overall assessment about how china has handled this outbreak. cnn did a lot of reporting on about whistle blowers disappearing, there's big questions about the official death toll from china as well. >> obviously, chinese officials minimized the severity of the virus early on, and of course, there was that doctor who was detained by the police and forced to say he should not engage in false rumors and sensationalism and turns out he then later on passed away from the virus. clearly, the chinese will always try to minimize the severity of situations and try to perhaps exaggerate the positives, whether it's economic figures, and that's part of the culture of the chinese government because so many of the top government officials in china are not local officials. i mean, the governor of the area is not a native of that area. it's like a military commander. they move from post to post and their success and their ability to get promoted depends on having good news

trying to tie joe biden to china in a fact challenge ad that shows when gary locke who happens to besian descent. while trump praises himself for cutting down travel from china, most flights shut it down on their own and after the virus arrived in the u.s. this can lead to whiplash. the day after donald trump jr. accused anyone of defending china's covert response of being an authoritarian propagandist, his dad did exactly that, saying he had much respect for the chinese efforts. what accounts for the flip-flopping? some point to business deals the trump family pursued with china while in office and others point to the trade war. it is notable that many of trump's statements come after he talks to chinese leaders. trump is susceptible to flattery and as a specialist says, he's drawn to authoritarian leaders. bottom line, there is no reason to take china's word when it comes to the coronavirus. but unfortunately, there is no reason to take donald trump's word either. because his ego and short-term self-interest obscures facts on a daily basis. overcoming a global pandemic requires wor

gary locke, the former governor of washington state in the ad. somebody who has been an elected official. i have to get your comment on this, claire, first. >> well, first of all, the ad's insulting because he is actually trying to convince americans that joe biden is somehow on china's side. and, by the way, this is coming from a president who took putin's side against his own intelligence community. who took kim jong un's side against our allies. who has consistently turned to despots and thugs as the ones he wants to buddy up with, instead of the leaders of the democracies that are our best friends in the world. so the notion that he is trying to make americans think that joe biden is somehow not on their side and on china's side, but they weren't even sophisticated enough to realize that they were putting in the ad of a former american governor. it is -- it is incredibly inappropriate. and it is just raw xenophobia. >> steve, i will give you the last word on this. the idea that donald trump called it brilliant and called vladimir putin but he

a controversy over a clip in that ad that shows former washington governor gary lock, critics saying it depicts him as a chinese official. the trump campaign has defended that clip saying it places biden in beijing in 2015 with the hunter biden trip which they say the younger biden used to further his own interests. jon? jon: jacqui heinrich, thank you. >>> ahead, we're going to asking a u.s. attorney how criminals are trying to take advantage of folks during this pandemic. >>> and up next, we're breaking down the top crimes being committed and sharing tips on how you can protect yourself during these times. hi i'm doctor shelby mccan, audiologist here at eargo. when i first saw eargo i was blown away. this is a product that can help millions of people. eargo is virtually invisible, rechargeable, comfortable, natural sounding and half the cost of traditional hearing aids it's easy to use and you have access to audiologists like me. plus lifetime support to help with allof your hearing needs. our telecare team is available for hearing checks and consultations at no charge from the com

democrats condemn the clip that leaves the impression former washington governor gary lock is a chinesel, he is in fact chinese american. biden's campaign slammed the ad, saying the regular gle xenophoba we've seen is a national scourge. the trump campaign tells the washington post that clip places biden in beijing in 2013 for what they call the 00 deer buy -- hunter biden clip. leland: if we're going to get the announce empty by biden some time this week and his camp, any idea on how the rollout is going to happen, some kind of digital rollout or will they be together in a press conference. they can't do a big rally like we would typically see for a vp rollout. >> reporter: i'm sure coronavirus concerns will change the scape of all the announcements we'll see out of both campaigns. it's tough to say how things will be done. we know that former vice president has been hosting his discussions round tables, live appearances on television from his studio in his home and we can expect as long as social distancing in place that kind of thing we'll continue to see. leland: from downstairs in

women and this piece here is she is immortal which is paying honor to hillary at a locks and then we have surely gary who work is very spiritual she creates these amalgamated figures and to exist in sort of spiritual world and. and she deals with inequality and inequities as well beautiful he turned as studio. here is i do as well as i'm surrounded by beautiful i want to leave you with one last comment which is should me who is at an exhibition when she said this have a listen to her. women aren't any church right like i was at the hirshhorn recently and i. am not a foster art exhibit and in that exhibit. the series by the gorilla grass and loose was seriously didn't 989 right and then stops and it was about oh you know all over 80 percent of women artists are in don't want to live our national gallery that's my if you can't name women artists because they don't got the dowries. just heard from 3 women who are getting those women it out of the basement and into the galleries thank you so much. and she korea we really appreciate you next time the all star als 5 a women artists will be out to do it and

and i don't have an answer, short of locking people in rooms and making them listen to us. [laughter] gary: and that would involve psychological cost of unimaginable proportions. i think most americans are so profoundly ignorant of our history, that this is just a subset of a much larger problem that's kind of heartbreaking. what they think they know is usually wrong, but they don't even think they know much. so i really don't have -- i find it quite daunting. liz, please be more upbeat. [laughter] harold: you're being greeted with the final word. gary: that's not a final word. that's just a grumpy interlude. [laughter] harold: -- try not to be grumpy! >> i want to take two different comments made and ask a question. there were different power structures in place that made these memorials possible in the first place, racist power structures that put them there. and then there is politics that often distort curriculum and makes it such that the way history is taught is also distorted. and so coming back to the suggestion that this be handled locally, i have -- maybe i'm not so optimistic, b

gary says is it with the locked been 12 weeks, it seems that we are not clear, they will not review ites, these are people who have been identified as being at higher risk. if you get the flu jab normally you are when —— one of the people in the high—risk categories. and if you have one of these conditions, we called it shielding, you have to stay home for 12 weeks. if you had that advice, yes. something that has emerged today, some vets have advised that they should cats indoors wherever possible. what is your response? i have a cat and he wonders. i think he will not be very happy being kept at home. i think there have been some case reports of transmission from a cat. that they have just been one or two, there has not been any overwhelming evidence. i thinkjust general rules apply, so if you are stroking your cat, make sure you wash your hands and use and you do the whole 20 seconds. those basic rules still apply and carry on doing that. you are in contact with so many people and it is such a concerning time, worrying time for everybody, what are people telling you when they phone y
