so let me bring in republican senator mike braun from indiana. after just finishing up that vote. i want to talk about coronavirus relief in a minute. i want to talk to you about what the president said in these woodward tapes. i assume at this point you've at least heard the tapes there. the president intentionally saying he downplayed the virus for the public. in hindsight that looks like a terrible decision, and it doesn't look pretty well thought out even when you look at it through the march eyes. >> so when you look at the most recent revelations through the woodward book, let's focus on the question itself, and you know, i think the whole covid navigation has been so hyped up. i try to cut to the chase in terms of what i think has been good about what the president has done. i also think that when you are constantly out, you know, saying things on media, you're going to have to be accountable for it. when it comes to downplaying it, not wanting to create a panic, i personally don't think that's going to probably create as much of a dust-up

senator mike braun. senators, thanks so much for being here. senator braun, let's start with you.you already have the votes to confirm her; so what could democrats do to stop the nomination of amy coney barrett? >> so i think the votes are there. we kind of got that all clear about a week ago. so the attack their going to take will be the ones that they kind of used i think in the kavanaugh hearings. and for me, that was so real in the sense that my race and josh hawley's in missouri were the two that were close going into the kavanaugh hearings. all i can tell you is we ended up winning by about six points each. so i think democrats beware. when you take someone like amy coney barrett, who's got a record personally and judicially i think it's going to be a tough sell to use those same tactics that you had during the kavanaugh hearings. so here they're going to focus, in my opinion, on what might happen policy-wise with her point of view. and i think that's tricky as well because of how much credibility she has in terms of her judicial acuity and her opinions over time. so i think

all it did was give josh holly and mike braun maybe instead of five point victory, maybe ten point victories. but it didn't stop the suburbs from going dramatically blue. >> that's right. you and i are old enough to remember when he would not have wanted a fight about abortion if you were a republican right in the last week of an election. it would have been dangerous and thought of as explosive. but this does talk about how politics have changed, that at least this president is not trying to reach out to the middle, not trying to lure in independents and conservative democrats. he is trying to helply indicate the electorate he had four years ago, pull out the inside straight he did winning the electoral college even though he lost the popular vote. but there was a poll this morning showing that democrats were energized too. 60% of democrats said that the supreme court would be their most important issue and that is up 12 points since ruth bader ginsburg's death. so it is a double-edged sword. it may give democrats a greater motivation than they already have and they do have it because they

. >> senator mike braun was just on the last hour saying that we are in a best case scenario right now. between 150,000 and 200,000 dead. he attributed that to anthony fauci. if we had acted sooner, if the president had been honest with the american public, and people like leaders of states, lieutenant governor garlin gilchrist, for instance, could have been in a position to address it head on with what the president knew, can you quantify the number of lives that potentially could have been saved? >> well, look at the absolute best countries. singapore, taiwan, south korea, and what you can see is that, you know, those countries, taiwan, fewer than 500 cases. seven deaths in the whole country. you scale up that to the united states, and basically, we have, you know, 99% of the deaths disappear. so we're not going to do as good as taiwan. say we do what italy did. italy had a big wave right at the start, but since that time, since basically the end of may, they have had almost nothing. that's about, you know, 40% fewer deaths than we have. that's the difference. 40% fewer deaths. that'
