thank you and let me turn it over to senator durbin. durbin: thank you. we cannot safely end sheltering in place until we have testing every place. why? because our enemy, our threat, the coronavirus, does not care if you're black, white, brown, memberoor, young, old, a of the daughters of the american revolution, here on a valid or invalid visa, the fact is if you are breathing or coughing in america we need to test you. we need to make sure we are finding out the threats to others, who are currently spared but could be victims if we don't move and move quickly. we know that the testing has to go beyond the current limits, dramatically. if we are going to move from the shelter-in-place to the next stage of opening our economy. if we look at the groups around america, you can see the disparities already in treatment which are being reflected in the inspection -- the infections and deaths. in chicago, illinois, we have done something most places i've done, extensive data collection by the people infected. it has illuminated a grim reality. black and africa

since being elected in 1907 senator dick durbin has introduced legislation in every session that would dramatically improve the lives of dogs in commercial kennels and would close the internet loophole. the way people sold dogs changed and has it changed it was no longer going to the individual breeder oh longer just going to the store now was online sales and they were exempt from the kind of regular inspection that would protect the puppies and their mothers so we had to make sure that our bill really filled the scale up and provided the protection for those online sales and the pups that were part of it even in the midst of the hyper partisanship of the u.s. senate on the issue of puppy mills senator durbin found willing partners on the republican side of the aisle my 1st co-sponsor was rick santorum one of the most conservative republicans from pennsylvania he was on this bill with me and then after he left the senate i had senator vitter from louisiana another very conservative senator so it turns out that when it comes to humane treatment of animals and dogs in particular this is

dick durbin and i are two senators from the same state to be on the task force.ed. i'm glad to be on it. i'm going to be pushing hard to make sure before we open the economy in any way we have enough testing, both for when people are positive but also contact tracing and make sure we can open the economy and not have to shut it back down again. how devastating would it be, trevor, if we let everybody out, and have another wave of covid positive and shut it back down. they think would be worse for our economy. our task force has only met once. we had one phone call, 45 minutes spent with trump boasting how agreement our testing was, and that other countries were calling us asking for to us give themselves tests. all of which were not true. when asked, "how many tests do we need for the country?" the trump administration had no answer. on a separate call with vice president pence we asked him the same thing. this is a basic math problem. you need to know how many tests we need to have. for example, israel tests their front-line healthcare workers every three days.

. >> dana: one of the things they could do is senators portman and durbin have proposed a way for thes and congress to be able to vote by proxy or from afar, and there is so much resistance to that, i mean, doesn't it seem like there is a technical solution here? >> juan: i think there is. it's pretty clear what you laid out, dana, that's exactly right. there is a lot of prediction about people showing up in person in congress to do the work. what we are talking about is a 4.8 shrinkage in terms of gdp gross domestic product over the last quarter. that's terrible. i don't think you can blame republicans or democrats, and i sure don't think anybody can do anything but blame the virus. let's be clear. and when it comes to congress, and the presidents nasty little comment about ice cream and enjoying their vacation, i don't understand, because, democrats in fact with republicans have passed four large bills, two of them with huge spending intended to deal with the issue. and the democrats work very hard to the point that some republicans said, oh, you're slowing it down by making these d

senate minority whip dick durbin and connecticut's chris murphy. but first, we have live reports from the uk and italy. what cities like detroit and l.a. can learn from london and rome. and as we go to break, a heartwarming photo of help on the way for new york city hospitals. southwest airlines posted this picture on instagram on monday showing a group of health care workers from atlanta heading to new york to help fight the virus. the airline thanked them in the post writing this. their selfless sacrifice is a beak d beacon of light during this dark time in our world and no amount of praise would be enough because of our courage, family, friends, coworkers and neighbors and more have a fighting chance. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. crisis comes to every presidency. we don't blame them for that. what matters is how they handle it. donald trump didn't create the corona virus. but he is the one who called hoax. who eliminated the pandemic response team. and who let the virus spread unchecked across america. crisis comes to ever

unemployed >> leader, wanted to get your thoughts we had a debate on our air yesterday with senator durbinlouts of the airlines clearly the airlines are a critical and necessary part of our economy and anything we do to keep them in the air, keep their employees working is clearly important. the question though is zsh th-- i'd ask you is whether their shareholders are somehow critical or special and how you can justify to taxpayers and americans why saving the shareholders of the airlines was so important >> well, it's not saving the shareholders of the airlines what we're doing is keeping people employed. if you watch what we did, an airline is like any other company where they can go in, because they're more than 500 employees, and get a secure loan but there's a portion of this today airlines that we provide to them like a small grant it's not for them to buy -- they can't buy back their stock or anything else. what it does, it's a guarantee to keep their employees on we're supplying them money just like in small business that their employees stay on that they're not unemployed get us t
