alexander: mr. president, reserving the right to object, i will continue to work with the senator from washington state as we always do in this issue on a be comprehensive response to the coronavirus. she and i have had four briefings and we have another one tomorrow. we have a history of being able to come to agreement on these matters. the idea of paid sick leave is a good idea, but if washington, d.c. thinks it's a good idea, washington, d.c. shut -- shouldy for it. when i was governor of tennessee nothing made me more unhappy than an individual from the senate or house coming up with a big idea, passing it, taking credit for it and sending me the bill. and so employees are struggling, so are employers struggling. it's not a cure for the coronavirus to put a big new expensive federal mandate on employers who are struggling in the middle of this matter. so paid sick leave is a good idea. we do it in my office. the federal government now does it. many businesses do it. but if the federal government

host: that was the president and nbc reporter jason alexander. that was on drugs being discussed to potentially treat the pandemic. your thoughts? guest: there is no defending what happened. there are two things happening that should not be going on. one is the president talking about a set of malaria drugs that may or may not be effective. he could certainly talk about enabling the fda to try this. what he is basically saying is people with symptoms should take these drugs and i think the president in particular, because the power of that office and the bully pulpit he has needs to be very careful about what he is telling people to do in this situation, to know what the risks may be. layught -- he was offered a up question, an easy question from a reporter, what do you say to people who are scared? the president has a responsibility to speak to the country, to give people a sense that people are taking action, but the government understands the problem and is doing something about it, and rather than offer some reassuring answer, the president s

why didn't he want alexander as second in command, it didn't hurt that he knew that alexander hamilton had conspired against his election in 1796. hamilton had other issues of who should be president. both he and he is wife believed that alexander hamilton resembles a cesar and the adams can't really afford a fallen out with george washington and george washington makes clear that he will resign if he doesn't get his way, so ultimately john adams does have to give way and george washington gets his way. so much for former presidents not meddling with successors. >> just as an aside, of course, adams was so touchy as you will recall, that later on he cuts off all communications with thomas jefferson and refuses to communicate directly with him and would only do so through abigail and this lasted, i think, right up until before the death. >> right. in the sense what's interesting a lot of the founding fathers were touchy and a lot of the communications between people broke off. by the time george washington died, he was no longer on speaking with thomas jefferson, james madison and james
