going back to the president endsing the stimulus talks, many analysts believe that passing such a bill could potentially be beneficial for both parties, if you will, a bipartisan effort there. is there any insight into the president's motivation to take that action today, i guess? i know house speaker pelosi held a call with house democrats. what are your insight and what do you see? what are your thoughts on that? >> it's important to point out that the president of the united states has not talked to the third highest ranking person in government, nancy pelosi, since last october. they have not had a conversation. it has been secretary mnuchin who's been doing the negotiations and was successful in early march and april in getting the first cares packages passed. i think the president has become so fixated on becoming a leader, which to him translates into an autocrat that he thinks that he can just shut things down. it would absolutely benefit him. it would absolutely benefit the democrats. it would benefit the american people and that's what we're here supposed to be doing. to focu
