, not just continue to see positive progress, notjust on continue to see positive progress, not justthe west continue to see positive progress, not just on the west coast continue to see positive progress, notjust on the west coast but even where the epidemic has most deeply impacted in areas of greater new york city, new orleans, detroit and elsewhere. on our nearly two hour phone call today with the governors, we heard the progress governors were making in implementing the resources we've been working to provide. not just the medical equipment, but also as you recall, that map a week ago that showed where all of the equipment is all across the country in all 50 states. governor cuomo joined us for the call today. he spoke favourably and his recognition that testing is a partnership between the federal and state governments as governor cuomo said today. he understood the federal government works with national manufacturing and supply chains and the governor's deal with the labs to expand and implement testing at the state level. governor cuomo also explained how he's using is lessen

>> it is about progress. this book is about progress and the fact that it does have the ups and downs that we see the wholes time. we make things, we invent thing things, we think about things that has great intended consequences that come along with unintended consequences. the unintended consequences are things we can do more engineering to say it is too late it is this continuous thrust of progress which i believe isis so important. >> attitude is good most definitely for example i think decisions made with information has caused some very interesting in tough situations. the advent of genetically modified organisms to make serial was heavily rejected in europe and less in the us it was based on fear that promoted was not correct but i think at one stage the newspaper said we would be having snowdrops out of the top of our head. these fears are very bad. for example i think the anti- vaccination movement is very dangerous indeed. very dangerous. we need to think carefully before that happens and spreads. >

this is real progress. it's indicated by developments in climate sciencete and accelerated by evolving consumer preferences guided by a combination of public policy and market forces but made possible by engineering. my second story is about unintended consequences. during the 1980s the dominant u.s. communications operator, at&t, was broken up into several smaller companies. this was followed in the 1990s by the loosening of structure and this was all designed to open up the markets and encourage competition. we can now look back and ask what is all of this is achieved thanks to a series of mergers today's at&t is actually bigger than it was before it was broken up. but when it comes to innovation and has lost something. bell labs, at&t's powerhouse, was described by some as a mobile prize factory and now owned by the inis firm, nokia. talent, practical know-how and intellectual property has migrated overseas, particularly to europe into china. the practical consequence of this is playing out today. americ

their media friends have decided on joe biden as their party nominee is the electable will the progressive's fall in line with his job offering voters and will the d.n.c. experienced buyer's remorse come november. joe biden and the democrats i'm joined by my guest richard goodstein in old bridge he is a democratic strategist and a former adviser to bill and hillary clinton and in new york i'm joined by how when she was in city she is in american journalist with r.t. her writings are collected at how one of destroy dot com or across something else in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it but let me go to you 1st. you have to tell me you're really super excited about joe biden is your nominee right i mean really ok because your party got. peter i am super excited when i look at the polls and i see that the american people have come to their senses i guess you know i'm not donald trump's biggest fan and when i see. notwithstanding the fact that there is this usual rally around the flag it gracing a president during a time of crisis and that's happening in

the last seven days, there has been significant progress. half of all americans live in states that have now taken steps to open their economies. just yesterday, governors gavin newsom, california, tim walz of minnesota, and tennessee announced additional plans to restart certain sectors. we ask every american to maintain vigilance and hygiene, social distancing and voluntary use of face coverings. we are opening our country and it is exciting to see. we have a lot of talent involved from governors down to people that just stand there and help you with the doors. there has been tremendous talent involved and tremendous spirit from our country. the country is a great place and it is going to be greater than ever before, i really believe that. i think there's going to be a tremendous upward shift. i spoke with tim cook today of apple. they have a good sense of the market and he feels it will be a v, the v is sharply upward later on as we get it fully opens. today, i signed the paycheck protection program and health care enhancement act providi

a lot of progress in that place. and that progress will certainly help us with those green lights of indicators inificatf that of h us are look forward to. so that is the number of positives. over 1300 more in the last 24 hours. the number of hospitalizations. 1.4% increase. again, we are seeing some stabilization, decreased. modest increase. and the number of people hospitalized. the number of people in icu's basically flat from yesterday. from one individual. more than in the last 24 hours in the icu. so again stabilization. but let's keep it that way. that is why i began talking about the beaches. why run that? i know. i will say it again that 90- yard dash. who does that? you are so close when you've been making so much progress. let's just get through this thing together. so that we can go so much farther, so much quicker. the worse thing we do is we rest on our laurels thinking the virus has decided to take or gon vacation. virus is premisable. nothing has changed in that respect. the only thing that change ask

i was governor gave us an update on her progress. she is tripling testing capacity in her state through a partnership with the private sector with the university of iowa and iowa state university. she also launched the testiow a.com website that creates an access point for people to fill out a questionnaire about whether their circumstances would justify a test. hours,d in the first 72 100 50,000 people went to the test site to receive an assessment and iowa is now testing 4500 people per day in the state. withdiana, i spoke governor holcomb. they have tested 72,000 hoosiers to date and they are adding drive-through sites and will have 10 established by the state of indiana before the end of the weekend. as other governors have done, governor holcomb last week opened up half of their elective surgery sites at hospitals across the state and they will open up the balance of their elective surgery sites next week. in maryland, another area we are watching closely, governor hogan expressed appreciation for federal support as he is contin

gumption and it's conservatives do ok this if we disagree but helen it really gets down to the progressive part of the party are they going to be won over by joe because joe has given them nothing to dig. yeah i mean the good the ones who voted for hillary back in 2016 will probably fall in line behind joe personally i don't understand why people were willing to live up to her bernie this time around after he basically took them under the bus and $1016.00 telling them to vote for a candidate that went against everything that he stood for and now he's done that again so i think in the same we're all the progressive us would probably try to vote 3rd party of course not living in the same world as many recent events have made clear but yeah biden is not going to excite the progressive vote i think a lot of people stay home and i think a lot of people will vote for the apartments. ok well richard how how is will a job i can reach out to be aggressive in any meaningful way because i have to agree with how and i mean bernie was on some not late night cop show when he was asked a very important q

there has been slow progress and specific progress on rare conditions that is dramatic and there have effective responses, somewhat effective responses to new diseases as they come up. i agree that it is not fool decadence. if it were fool decadence we should not expect the vaccine and we reasonably do. >> there's a lot of the realm of technology and economics, like you said earlier there is good argument about what is happening. your book assumes a kind of technological progress measured in rep unity is good. not to have it become the kind of -- >> it is not -- >> always a good? i hope not. >> i say in the book that there are ways technological progress could end decadence that could be very dark. there is a trans-humanist post-human scenario that as a catholic i would oppose but under my definitions would count as an escape from decadence. it is not that all progress is good but i guess what i do think is the society we have built up is a society that expect them to some extent depends on the promise of progress and it is hard to imagine getting back to a society where that is not a

there have been some slow progress and than there's been some specific progress on the rare conditions is dramatic and there is an effective effece response is, effective respons responses. and in that sense i would agree there is it's not full decadence to put it that way. if it were for decadence, we should not expect a vaccine and i think that we reasonably do. >> there's there is a lot in thm of technology. even the way in which i think your book assumes in the technological progress measured a good but notis to have it becomes a kind of marker. >> there are ways technological progress and decadence that would be in fact very dark. there is a sort of trans- humanist, post-human scenario that as a catholic i would oppose it under my definitions would count as an escape. so in that sense, it is and that all progress is good. but i guess what i do think is that society that we have built up is a society that expects and depends on the progress and it's hard to imagine getting back to the society where that is not a big part of what is expected and so on. so, id don't think, as much as

i could not be prouder of the incredible progress we made as president, but if i were running today, i would not have the same race or same platform. the world is different. too much unfinished business for us to look backwards. we have to look to the future. bernie and joe understand that. it's one of the reasons joe already has one of the most progressive platforms of any nominee in history. before the pandemic turned the world upside down, it was already clear that we needed real change. the massive inequalities created by the economy are easier to see now, but they existed long before the pandemic hit. the people who truly make our economy run, they have always been essential. and for years, too many who did the essential work of this country have been underpaid, financially stressed, and given too little support. that applies to the next generation of americans. young people graduating into unprecedented unemployment. they will need economic policies that give them faith in the future and relief from crushing student loan debt. we need to do more than just tinker around the edge

senate are not interested in progress. they are interested in power. they have shown themselves willing to kick millions off their health insurance and eliminate pre-existing condition protections for millions more, even in the middle of this public health crisis. even as they are willing to spend $1 trillion on tax cuts for the wealthy. they have given polluters unlimited power to poison our air and water and denied the science of climate change, just as they denied the science of pandemics. repeatedly they have disregarded american principles of rule of law and voting rights and transparency. that previous administrations observe regardless of party. principles that are the bedrock of our democracy. so our country's future hangs on the selection -- this election. the other side is a massive warchest. the other side has a propaganda network with little regard for the truth. on the other hand, pandemics have a way of cutting through a lot of noise and remind us of what is real and what is important. us thatsis has reminded government matters. it has re

it is more technological progress has been mono dimensional. and areas like transportation, energy, agriculture, and the built environment. and and and they try to revolutionize real-world industries those are the companies that often end up being the unicorns the turnout to be frauds or failures. to bring big tech to bear on and all fashion. and we were trying to revolutionize office space, a similar story. that is the core of that piece of the stagnation, progress hasn't ceased but it is on a particular dimension that feedback into the larger pattern of decadence because it leaves people to spend more time in virtual reality simulations of reality and to retreat from both certain kinds of economic activity but also bringing us to another retreat from family formation, romance, sex and childrearing which is the aspect of decadence i cost a reality. >> host: you have a wonderful comparison of margaret atwood and pj james's book involving a sterile landscape which is really brilliant and really fun. let's think critically about what you wrote. w

>> it is about progress. the book is about progress and the fact that it does have the ups and downs and that should not put us off. we make things, invent things, think about things with great intended consequences but they also come along with good intended consequences those of which we can do more engineering on them rather than say it's too late we cannot go ahead so it is this continuous thrust of progress for this condition. >> attitude is good. most definitely. for example decisions made with less than complete information has very tough situations of the genetically modified organisms was heavily rejected in europe and the us. it was based on fears that were not correct that there would be some form of genetic transfers or one that i read in a newspaper that we would have snowdrops on the top of our head and the fear is very bad i think the anti- vaccination movement is very dangerous indeed. and we need to think carefully before that happens and spreads these are a setback in a big wa way. >> and it

so that's the core of that piece of the stagnation of the puzzle, progress hasn't ceased but progress along a very particular dimension that then feeds back into the larger pattern of decadence because leaves people to spend more times in virtual realities and simulations of virtual realities and retreat from both kinds of economic activity but also to bring us to another force, retreat from family formation, romance, sex, childbearing which is -- which is the aspect of decadence that i stall sterility, basically. >> i know that you have books bthat involve the sterile landscape which i thought was brilliant and fun. let's think critically about what you wrote, so what would count as counterindicater? you're giving a -- yo provide indicators, metrics, i'm sorry. sorry. thank you, michael. you provide indicators by which to identify us as decadence society, what kind count of ocounterindicaters, signs of le that you have to engage? >> sure, so let's give examples. so one of the key indicators to suggest that we are not, in fact, living through a period of nimmense technological transfo

and so real progress in that space as well. again it is progress, data gathered by these six indicators that will determine how quickly we toggle back and how quickly we make these modifications and again it is just so important that we continue the physical distancing or it we appropriate ourselves in public by putting on face coverings when we are in contact or proximity to others and make sure that we continue to advance our stay-at- home orders. i get the data by the way every morning and we do have a dashboard that is provided on movement and number of companies that we are working with that provide that and we made those public a few months ago. we showed some of that data here a few weeks back and it says what we all know, not only did we see an increase in movement in mobility over the weekend but we have seen week to week particularly the past two weeks a modest increase and the vast majority of you are still socially distancing and abiding by the stay-at-home order and not everybody is moving him even increase movemen

if they want to be progressive and they want to progress the dialogue forward they need to talk about the central bank that is the key component of the global economy the american economy and the key crisis that we're experiencing today so not to mention it is willfully ignorant exactly we have 2 different categories happening that government and the treasury and on the federal reserve and basically neither of them have oversight and they're pouring trillions of dollars to the corporate headquarters of huge corporations not the small medium sized enterprises that are being funneled into these crazy sort of online systems that don't work but the. major corporations the multinationals those that are getting bailed out and the big banks and the ordinary worker that's by the way that you know the left wing party is supposed to speak on behalf of their stock on trying to file unemployment benefits and those unemployment benefits are built on cobol which is a. you know a software program written back in the 1950 s. and there's only like a handful of people in the united states that are stil

you are right that michel barnier gave a very downbeat assessment of progress, limited progress has madebut we do believe that it is still entirely possible to conclude negotiations on the timetable that has been outlined. is it still the government's position that if insuffient progress is made byjune, the uk will walk away from the talks? both the uk and the eu will take stock at the end ofjune. there are two more negotiating rounds, one in mid may and one at the beginning ofjune, so i wouldn't want to anticipate what will happen but i think it is the case that both the uk and the eu will want to ensure that talks progress. hilary then asked about the impact of the covid—i9 pandemic. the talks have not made progress on the key issues and there were just two more rounds to go and british businesses have no idea what they're planning for apart from the prospect of a major economic shock to the globe and is the government asking itself whether the timetable it's set out for this processare still realistic in the light of that fundamental threat that you last give evidence to? i think it i

progress here today and also progress tomorrow and over the course of the next number of months. i referenced some of that progress being advanced because of the cpuc. rob is available for questions if people have them about it tele-connect effort. we are setting aside $25 million to advance that effort. that is hotspots, wi-fi, addressing the issue of digital divide. they will supplement the work. google and others in that space. in addition to that, they are putting $5 million, total package $30 million, to procure additional chrome books, tablets, ipads as needed. tools to plug-in devices that will allow people to do the distance learning that we are promoting at this moment. so some progress. we wanted to share that with you. alogress as relates partnership is looking at a proof of concept they will be rolling out in the next number of days right before be converting seven school buses and making them mobile hotspots to provide access. if that concept is successful, we will roll that out more broadly throughout the state of california. is an expression of appreciation not jus

and what would like to talk about is the progress we made. the la st about is the progress we made. here was march 13, none of that progress could be made without the 47,000 people at quest diagnostics that are working around the clock. working up the tests and running the test. in delivering the results that we need. as far as results, we've made tremendous progress. we are currently at quest diagnostics testing about 50,000 tests per day. we've been pushed by the task force to bring up that number by the end of may will have 100,000 test per day. about 3 million test. these are the molecular test that we do today. we've also brought up serological testing. we started that this past week and by the end of may we will be close to 250,000 a day. about 7000 a month. you put those two numbers together, it's about 10 million test by the end of may will be doing at quest diagnostics. we are doing that also in a quicker way. around times was somewhat of an issue. in the early days we reduce after want to do days. turnaround time for people in beds, hospital bedsis time for people in beds,

real progress in that place. yesterday we updated you on some of our efforts to train the workforce and starting phase 1, 10,000 tracers brought the state of california. partnerships are forming in that space and capacity building that is also well underway. we talked broadly about other indicators and most portt how e in skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities. other adult and senior licensed facilities throughout the state of california. we have well in excess of 8500 of these facilities in this date . the skilled nursing facilities represent 1224, but thousands more in home settings, as many as two or three people, some six or seven in size, all throughout the state of california. we have updated you on a consistent basis about our efforts in that place and the sincere concerns we have, demonstrable concerns we have, about protecting our seniors in those facilities. we continue to focus on that above and beyond anything else as it relates to the data that comes in every morning because of the vu

progress here today and also progress tomorrow and over the course of the next number of months. i referenced some of that progress in advance because of what you see. rob will be here talking about a teleconnect effort through the p.u.c. we're setting aside $25 million to advance that effort. that's, again, hotspots, wi-fi, addressing the issue of digital divide. they will supplement the work of apple -- rather, google and others in that space. in addition to that, they're putting $5 million, total package $30 million at the p.u.c. to get additional chrome books, ipads, excuse me, ipods that i referenced earlier, to allow people to do the distance learning that we're promoting at this moment. some progress we wanted to share with you in that space. also, progress as it relates to partnership at the cities' level. the city of sacramento is looking at a proof of concept. they'll be rolling out in the next number of days, i think right before may 1, they're going to be converting seven school buses and making them mobile hotspots to provide access. if that proof of concept is succe

we are making progress through the pre-k. of this virus but we're not out of the woods yet as sage advised last week and that's why the measures we introduced must remain in place for the time being. the greatest risk for us now if we stop all our social distancing rules to suit is that we would risk a 2nd spike in the virus with all the threats to life that that would bring and then the risk of a 2nd look down which would prolong the economic pain that we're all going through and that was the point that andrew bailey the governor of the bank of england also made earlier on today. so with that in mind last thursday i set out the 5 principles that will guide our approach going forward to the next phase and which must be satisfied before we are willing and in a position to make any changes which would of course be based on the advice that we received from sage that way we will ensure that our path out of this crisis is sure footed protecting both the public's health but also our economy. if we stick to our plan if we take the r

sure you are making as much progress as possible.e are using electronic video conferencing and it is a tremendous amount of video calling and video meetings. 24 hour period, essentially 100% of the company's online. we have more active vpn connections that we have employed at any given time. it is a tremendous amount of work, teams messages back and forth. i think that is the working mode people are going to be in. keeping people focused on the things you can control and trying to deal with the fact the things you cannot control, don't stress on that. it is an unusual time for people, me included. we have to get ourselves through it. emily: appreciate you giving us a window into your world. you soollenkopf, thank much for joining us. coming up, we will take you to louisiana, one of the states hardest hit by the virus, emerging hotspot. the attorney general will be joining us. we are waiting for the press conference at the white house as the pentagon is seeking 100,000 body bags for fema as the outbreak worsens. we will take you there

the idea that equals progress and that you should differ to the user. so, he says creating this experience isn't an option, there is no choice and here's what it's working on today, cruise ships at carnival. one of the things that powers this experience is a sensor that you wear around your wrist and as you move through the ship there are 7,000 sensors that track your progress and that also record things like what you've done, who you are with, they activities they want to do and have done and if they become part of the personal genome so that as they move to the ship and walk past a response to your presence and point you to the next appointment. if you can think about your computer this is basically a right-click for the real world you have options all around you constantly and everything you have and it's everything you see and it is presented to you. passively. again, it's this idea that if we can provide these things with maximal ease presuming people don't have time it will give them something that is meaningful to them. but if yo what you are ask

real progress in that place. yesterday we updated you as well on some efforts to train the work force starting phase 1, 10,000 tracers throughout the state of california. partnerships that we're forming in that space and capacity building that is also well under way. we talked broadly about other indicaters, one of the most important being how we protect the most vulnerable californians. how we protect people in congress regatt care facility, assisted living facilities, other adult and senior license facilities throughout the state of california. we have well in excess of 8,500 of these facilities in the state. the skilled nursing facilities represent 1,024, thousands more in home settings, as many or two or three people or six or seven in size throughout the state of california. we updated you on a consistent basis about our efforts in that place and the sincere concerns we have demonstrable concerns we have about protecting our seniors in those facilities. we continue to focus on that above and beyond anything

tremendous progress has been made.cal trials of promising therapies are now under way, so 35 different genius companies. if you look at aids, if you look at ebola, if you look at so many things they've come up with the answers to so many things, you wouldn't have believed it. we are very honoured to believed it. we are very honoured to be working with them. they include antivirals and also something which is incredible, keeps the virus from multiplying, a mechanism that keeps the virus from multiplying, immune therapies that prevent the immune systems from overreaching to the virus, and convalescent plasma treatments that topic we have a lot of patients who recover and they are so happy to have recovered, the first thing they say they want to do is to give their blood. and they do that, it's incredible. we have thousands of people doing that, they recover and feel they have an obligation because they've got such great care. a lot of them didn't think they were going to make it. as the entire us government works to comb

i mean, i think he'd be-- >> would he say we made progress? >> of could,we made progress, we had a black president and could never imagine having a twice elected black president, as well as senators and congressmen and mayors and governors and all the rest. so, on a certain level, certainly, he would be proud of the progress, but in terms of the black poor, there's been -- there's just still quite a bit of work to do there among the black poor in this country. a situation that has in some ways regressed since the days of king. and it's really, it's really sad, i think. but that is where we are and i think he would-- that's where he would be most disappointed. >> this is an e-mail from pat who is from new jersey, does the voting act requirement for a majority, minority districts need to be kept in place? >> i don't think so. i think that people have been willing to cross racial lines to vote for some time. but the other problem with keeping it in place, i think it fuels polarization because you get candidates that don't need to make any appeals
