americans are fighting through this and we'll be joined by a renowned psychologist angela duckworth who has a lot to say about keeping your head in this time. the news, two white house staffers have tested positive for coronavirus. donald trump's personal valet, who serves trump his meals and we learned today the vice president's press secretary who is married to the close trump aid steven miller. donald trump today claimed the positive test was proof that testing doesn't necessarily work. >> she tested very good for a long period of time and then all of a sudden today, she tested positive. so she tested positive. this is why the whole concept of tests aren't necessarily great. the tests are perfect but something can happen between a test where it's good and then something happens and all of a sudden, she was tested very recently and tested negative and then today i guess, for some reason, she tested positive. >> that is all entirely wrong. the white house might have the best testing and tracing in the country right now and it worked by donald trump's own explanation, the testing actual

senator duckworth, thank you for joining us. i wonder if there's anything to say or see in that tweet other than desperation. >> you said it. thanks for having me on. it's desperation. the president is doing anything that he can to try to divert people's attention from the fact of how miserably he's failed at leading this country during a global pandemic. we're coming up on over 80,000 americans who have lost their lives and it's because of his inaction and failure to lead this country. >> senator, i just want to get your thoughts on some of the biggest headlines of the day. the president has turned pretty harshly negative against tony fauci after he testified that any decision about whether or not kids go back to school in the fall shouldn't overlook or seek to understand the impact of the pandemic on children. i have an 8-year-old. i'm watching the reporting about the cases of inflammatory syndrome associated to covid very closely, and i wonder what you think about the fact that that was the breaking point for donald trump wit

another name people are not talking about is tammy duckworth, who is military, a war veteran, someone was wounded in action and as a mother of a young child and as a daughter of the revolution, and a woman of color. and from the midwest. so i think she somebody who could also be a strong candidate -- >> tucker: i think that's probably a smart point. quickly, kamala harris is a sitting united states senator. why not her? >> i think, again, when we talk about that demographic that we need to reach, kamala harris doesn't necessarily reach that demographic. she's not particularly possible with working-class african-americans and in particular with working-class african-american men. she was coming in, pulling around fourth. she didn't run her campaign very well, so i don't think that she is the best choice. and, you know, the biden campaign, allegedly there are people who leaked the facts that they think she is a clunky communicator and if there's anything that biden doesn't need, it's a clunky communicator to be his running mate. so stacy abrams is a good communicator. a very strong comm

hi, i am senator tammy duckworth. i spent 23 years in the military, serving with some of the bravest men and women our nation has to offer. men and women who placed the alleys of our country, the liberties and ideals of which we stand before their very own well-being who understood we are stronger when we achieve a common good and refuse to leave anyone behind.

that's why last week senators schumer, leahy, duckworth, and nearly three dozen others joined me in introducing a straightforward resolution that calls on the united states to join these global efforts. i'm grateful to workizations like path, shot at life, better world campaign, and the u.n. association of the united states for their support of this resolution as well. quite simply, we should be part of these efforts to not only offer american expertise but to share in life-saving benefits. we used to have a poe found -- profound, well documented, proud partisan history of such effort. for example, i was pleased to rally around president bush's call to stem the scourge of aids around the world through the historic program. many of my republican colleagues in the senate supported these efforts. now we face this coronavirus outbreak. i was equally proud of president obama's efforts to set up infectious disease prevention systems and his leadership on the ebola crisis. madam president, i've been told that one of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle is going to object to enacting this resol

. >> on behalf of the chairman, senator duckworth. >> thank you. ambassador braithwaite, our nation's first commander-in-chief wisely observed that discipline is the soul of an army. as a former commander, i learned they are descended from the north start that we always fight with honor. it's how our military became the greatest fighting force the world has ever seen. while adhering to the loss of work and rejecting longtime conduct, it is harmful to its mission. good order and discipline is truly the soul of the soul of united states military and that soul is now threatened by a commander-in-chief who horrifies torture, betrays american allies, and celebrates were criminals and despots -- war criminals and despots. they've all proven incapable of withstanding erratic demands for petulant president who normalizes war crimes by offering degrading characterizations of service members, such as this disgraceful quote from president trump.
