i'd like to know what the coon tact was because there may have been other individuals who had that coon tact as well and there may be more people who have to go through this quarantine. >> i suspect deborah birx and addiction azhar might have too do the same. what do you say, doctor, should more members go into some form of self-quarantine from a medical perspective? >> it's unclear how many and what kind of task foorce. we hope that the task foorz wou -- force would be making the ryeig decisions. the big picture question is presumably the person who exposed all of them is the vice president's press secretary. and you have to ask, well, if that's the case, then why aren't we hearing about what kind of quarantine the vice president and poe ttentially other people that staff are in. this is a question that's concerning to me. >> it's concerning to i suspect a lot of people. gloria, what's your reaction to the news, specific dr. fauci, who has been the voice, the face to this coronavirus, specifically the quarantine he's going through for 14 days. >> reporter: i think dr. fauchi and the ot

senator coons, we talked to you before about the legislation which is bipartisan.ld this work? >> andrea, thank you for a chance to be on and great to be on with my friend mayor garcetti, who's help lead this effort in los angeles and cities across the country. we have more than 80 co-sponsors in the house and the senate of a bipartisan bill that would expand the existing national service program best known as americorps. it would increase the pay modestly. it would increase the education award earned by members, but it would double this year the number of opportunity slots. so that would make it possible for 150,000 americans who are currently unemployed or who are looking for an opportunity to serve to be engaged in response. this would be locally led and driven by commissions that already exist all over our country, appointed by governors, that include nonprofit leaders, state and local government leaders, civic leaders and they would approve specifically targeted programs. in some states and cities they might do contact tracing and testing. in others they might

senator coons. coons: thank you, senator, thank you, your honor. i will know that we are again considering a judicial nominee, someone who, in your previous encounter, when you were here, demonstrated sharp partisan views, when, in my view, we should be holding hearings that are directly responsive to the global pandemic that has taken nearly 100,000 american laws. and where i think that there are pressing issues that this committee can and should instead be focusing on. but i will turn to the business before us, if i might. judge wilson, you are a state court judge that has served just one year, is that correct? judge wilson: yes, senator, a little over a year, about 15 months. sen. coons: you described passage of the affordable care act, which still today provides protection for over 130 million americans against pre-existing condition discrimination, you describe that act as "perverse," its passage "illegitimate and reflecting colossal arrogance," i think i am quoting. and you compared it to "ramming a freedom infringing mess down our throats."y

senator coons, it's always great to have you on the program. thank you for being here tonight. >> great to be on with you, kasie. senator menendez said it all. this is deserving of an investigation led by senator menendez in the senate and chair elliott ingles in the house. this is the fourth inspector jenna abruptly fired by the trump administration, atkinson, fine, grim, and now lennick are four inspectors general. every one of them had something to do either with the impeachment investigation or with providing thorough oversight for the remarkable amount of money that is now being spent by a variety of federal agencies. so inspectors general, and there's one for every federal agency, play a critical role in transparency and accountability. it is an appropriate moment for all of us in congress, democrats and republicans, to be asking what is it that is causing president trump to fire so many inspectors general, and will we stand up on a bipartisan basis to protect them. if not, we're going to have to say good-bye to real transparency and acco

senator rosen, and it has 15 cosponsors -- listen to the names here: senators king, ernst, kramer, coons, blunt, capito, baldwin, wyden, thune, merkley, wicker, carper, and paul. what brings all these senators together? it is not a common ideological belief on many issues. it is because they are looking out for their states and they want to save the lives of people in their states, especially during this pandemic, by allowing doctors who have been trained in the united states of america, who've gotten their degree, who've done their residencies, to be able to stay in our country. today i am asking all my colleagues to support the inclusion in the next piece of legislation that is coming our way that we must pass to address the coronavirus. i've also called on the administration to take action to increase the number of doctors that are here to help fight this pandemic and help alleviate the serious strain this pandemic has placed on our health care system. first, u.s. citizenship and immigration services should resume expedited processing for employment-based visas for doctors. on march 2

i'm glad you talked to senator coons. he and i are working closely together. and there's been a bipartisan consensus together with mayor holt, republican mayor of oklahoma city, we put forward a call for this. we think about the civilian conservation corps during the depression, peace corps during the cold war, teacher corps during the war on poverty. it is time for us to put people back to work and help others return to the economy because we have more contact tracers, and people helping folks get federal benefits they need. so i'm very hopeful that can get passed in a bipartisan way in this next round. >> thank you so much, mayor garcetti. it's great to hear some positive news from l.a., and, of course, about luck as you begin to open carefully. we hope to talk to you in the coming days and weeks. >> i'd love to. thank you, andrea. >>> and coming up -- a legendary actor julie andrews talking about how she is using her love of reading to help children and families around the world during the covid-19 crisis. my very special guest julie andrews and her daughte

let's bring in democratic senator from delaware, chris coons., thank you very much for joining us, as always. so mitch mcconnell and nancy pelosi are wide apart when it comes to what should happen next. the cares act doesn't have a chance of passing through the senate. can you tell me anything about the conversations being had between democrats and republicans about what a senate bill might look like? >> thanks for a question and thanks for that section on the ways in which doctors and nurses and hospitals are under real economic pressure in this pandemic. i'm hopeful that we can provide another round of support. i literally just completed a conference call with dozens of family practitioners, physicians from up and down the state of delaware and later today i'll be talking to the leadership of st. frances, one of our community hospitals, very similar to st. joseph's hospital in new hampshire that you just profiled. my hope is that this next package will include a bipartisan proposal for national service. there is a bipartisan bill in the house.

joining us now with the reaction is chris coons of delaware.en the chairman made that proposal, what did you think? >> i think in the wake of the death of george floyd, the committee ought to be in an oversight hearing will be looking to a whole string of tragic killings, incidents that are deeply wounding to our country of police violence and then a response by communities. but when chairman lindsey graham says something like that it's a reminder that this has become a very politicized judiciary committee and judicial confirmation process. president trump has nominated and the republican majority senate has confirmed more than 200 judges. chairman graham is continuing to advance that agenda and there are other things i wish we would focus on that we should focus on. the pandemic response and recovery and the ways that's impacted federal law enforcement and federal prisons and a lot of other issues that are under the purview of his committee for this tragic recent killing in minneapolis. >> jon: we will talk about that killing in just a moment

got your research money we discussed the verdict and decided that it was correct we're going maine coon please get frightened and we kept a person who is not a legal expert could look at this case and accept the good it was but if you are a legal expert and. you're familiar with the trial you realize that it was a disgrace and shaniqua vs. the trial was complicated that was the wiretapping controversy and the defendants and the lawyers kept making political speeches. and boy the are getting the verdict was intended to serve justice and restore a certain level of come to society he used to but the verdict had the opposite effect the remaining members of the r. abstract up that campaign of domestic terrorism in september 977 they kidnapped house martin trial a business executive and industry representative and demanded the release of the sham i'm presents. you know toba the palestinian group hijacked a lot of times a passenger jet took $86.00 passengers hostage and also demanded the prisoners release. a west german federal police unit rescue the hostages on october the 18th bottle and sti

liz: democrats with ami to movement under the bus like chris coons increasingly repeating biden's talkingoints of the new york times that they did a thorough review and found the incident did not happen. the time says that's totally wrong. so where does this go going forward, we know that the statute of limitations of course has basically expired on the sexual assault claims, this to happen in 1993, where it is the scope because this story is not laid to rest with what critics are saying as disastrous msnbc interview, this is a vocation for the 2020 race, what do you think. by the way president trump said biden should address it but they also said biden to fight it, the president has been accused numerous times, where you think this goes. >> i think they will keep looking at it in more bad news when it was in reverse politically is that here there were contemporaneous actions, her mother had called and to the larry king show and all not. neighbors and friends said she told me about it, that was not the case in the kavanaugh matter in this collaboration. kavanaugh was frustrating to see al

but watch democrat chris coons repeat that talking point.s," "the washington post," the associated press, have dedicated weeks of reporters time to digging in, calling people, contacting people, researching, and they all three have concluded that there was no substance to these allegations. >> you know in washington -- elizabeth: i need a dramamine to deal with that topspin. your reaction? >> you need four pinocchios, people who normally rate the truth, "washington post," "new york times" and others to repeat the fact that these allegations are real, and credible. they may or may not have happened but they deserve the proper airing. anyone who wants to misstate what has already been decided, in fact, should be held to what we call in washington the four pinocchios standard that includes the senator who obviously as you say, is topspinning better than the best tennis player ever. elizabeth: you know, senator amy klobuchar told msnbc, quote, i read "the new york times" story. it was very thorough. they interviewed people. we have kamala harris

. >> senator chris coons, senator, thank you very much for joining us.nk you, katy. >>> ahead, fresh off their virtual commencements, colleges and universities are facing a big challenge. what are they going to do about the fall? i'll talk with the chancellor of a major university system that was the first to announce a dramatic change. you turn 40 and everything goes. tell me about it. you know, it's made me think, i'm closer to my retirement days than i am my college days. hm. i'm thinking... will i have enough? should i change something? well, you're asking the right questions. i just want to know, am i gonna be okay? i know people who specialize in "am i going to be okay." i like that. you may need glasses though. yeah. guidance to help you stay on track, no matter what comes next. ♪ however, there is one thing you can be certain of. the men and women of the united states postal service. we're here to deliver cards and packages from loved ones and also deliver the peace of mind of knowing that essentials like prescriptions are on their way. every day

and a prediction on this coming weekend, we are joined tonight by the mayor of rehoboth beach, paul coonsmayor, thank you very much for being with us. what's it like when you run a beach a town, you can't control where people are coming from to visit you, where they're headed back to, or, god forbid, what they're going to leave behind when they leave? >> well, it's not an easy situation by any means. we're expecting much less crowd this memorial day weekend than we've had in the past. typically at this time of the year, it's one of the busiest weekends of the summer. it's the opening of the summer. however, with the restrictions that have been put into place, the social distancing, i believe that we have much lower amounts of crowds here in rehoboth, and i think it will be a manageable situation. we opened up the beaches last weekend. they were opened up more for swimming and sunbathing this weekend as you mentioned. and i think more people will be here this weekend although the weather isn't -- the forecast isn't that great. so i think it will be okay but nothing like it normally is. >>

straight up over their heads they trotted off, leaving the sheriff behind among the damned bunch of coons they'd ever seen. all testimony to the results of little so-called freedom imposed on people who needed every care and indulgence in the world to keep them from the cannibal life they preferred. you chose an interesting one. my efforts to think the way committed slaveholders think. the naturalness of their content. the effortlessness of their belief in their superiority to these people, coming in the book at a moment after the reader has been in the lives of these people who they have cat forrized as nigger and nigger, man, nigger baby. because the characters are so familiar and intimate they portrayed, i was hoping this section i read comes with a chill. not just because of the events of the slaughter but the way in which at this point they are looked at. >> host: how do you get inside the psyches of these people. >> guest: it's difficult but i use what i think are methods that maybe actors and actresses use. when you have a vague -- you try to make it specific, fully realized, and y

. >> speaking of texas, senator coons. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you, mr. chairman. from one of america's largest states to one of its smallest but no less robust in our passion for finding a way to navigate this pandemic together. americans watching this hearing at home might be a little confused. there's a lot of legal juror began abo jargon about preemption. who should bear the risks and the costs of employees working in unsafe conditions or of customers or visitors visiting unsafe conditions during this pandemic? some employers have taken critical safety precautions to protect their employees and the public. mr. smartt, you have been recognized and complimented on both sides of the aisle, by labor representatives, republicans and democrats, for being an employer who has taken appropriate steps to try and set and follow standards and protect your workforce. but demonstrably there are others who have not. some employers have encouraged sick employees to stay home. demonstrably, others have not. and part of why president perrone is sitting next to you is the tragedy

and so what chris van hollen and i, chris coons and others are talking about is a massive increase, upwards of 500,000 people who would be enlisted to go out and do the work which we're going to have to accomplish during this great crisis. and that we have to spend the money but we'll get a return on our investment because the work will be done out there. and to look at americorps, to look at a model of the peace corps, and build up the infrastructure so that the work is being done out there in testing, in contact tracing, in insuring that all of the other essential work does, in fact, take place. so from our perspective -- >> yeah, i wanted to get you on one more thing. i don't know if you'll answer it or not. i'll tee it up, one of our reporters was noting earlier, we were discussing the contrast between senator alexander having a staffer test positive and self-quarantining, and he runs, of course, the health committee, and vice president pence in the same situation not self-quarantining, he runs the coronavirus task force. do you think vice president pence is wrong or is it more complica

brian: the democrats have come out and said chris coons in took is this the time in the middle of a pandemicwe are working on the pandemic number one. you can say. that is this the party that also spent all of its time going after the mueller grand jury testimony all the way up to the supreme court to hopefully reinvigorate an impeachment investigation? if this is a distraction. isn't that? steve. steve: well, what's interesting, brian, is the fact that this they have also suggested they are going to serve subpoenas on blue star strategies, which is a democratic p.r. firm that burisma had when hunter was on the board. blue star yesterday said hey, why did you have to issue the subpoena threat because we have already given you documents. we're cooperating. well, ron johnson said yesterday, we want more. we want more documents. we want to have a bigger picture of what's going on. meanwhile, regarding the reaction from the biden camp, they put out this yesterday. this is a great diversification. what he is doing to help -- what's he doing to help the state of wisconsin? what's he doing, they ar

senator rosen, and it has 15 cosponsors -- listen to the names here: senators king, ernst, kramer, coons, blunt, capito, baldwin, wyden, thune, merkley, wicker, carper, and paul. what brings all these senators together? it is not a common ideological belief on many issues. it is because they are looking out for their states and they want to save the lives of people in their states, especially during this pandemic, by allowing doctors who have been trained in the united states of america, who've gotten their degree, who've done their residencies, to be able to stay in our country. today i am asking all my colleagues to support the inclusion in the next piece of legislation that is coming our way that we must pass to address the coronavirus. i've also called on the administration to take action to increase the number of doctors that are here to help fight this pandemic and help alleviate the serious strain this pandemic has placed on our health care system. first, u.s. citizenship and immigration services should resume expedited processing for employment-based visas for doctors. on march 2

interestingly enough the co-chair of that are chris coons the democrat from delaware and james langfordoma. if he is going to be thorough and complete in his senate records, they should also call upon the senate ethics committee to look at their records. pete: yeah, you know, guys, if joe biden has lost the "new york times" editorial board, he has some serious problems. here is the headline from the "new york times." investigate tara reade's allegations. remember they worked weeks to not cover this story. now they have to. here's a quote from that article. mr. biden's word is insufficient to dispel the cloud. the democrat national committee should move to investigate the matter swiftly and thoroughly with the full cooperation of biden campaign. jillian, it's pretty tough for joe biden to have both sides of the me too movement. he said certain things about believing the essence of what women had to say in 2018. now he is face ago claim. we can't know who is telling the truth. we can't. that's what's frustrating about moments like this absent evidence. if you are going to have one standar
