we have great vaccines plain. johnson & johnson, mo darren, visor, i mean, we have great things happening with the vaccines. maybe it's why i'm here with you, maybe it's not, i'm not sure. i know one thing, i was very happy to take it. that i can tell you. but through operation warp speed we are on track to have 100 million vaccine doses before the end of this year. and they will be delivered by the military and they are all set to go. they are waiting for final approach. and that vaccine will end the pandemic, but we are also launching a historic effort to bring your medical supply chains back on. and at 1996, joe biden voted to obliterate puerto rico's thriving pharmaceutical industry. remember, they used to have a great pharmaceutical industry? he cut it out. when he cut it out he sent puerto rico into a nosedive like nobody's ever seen before. so we are bringing it all back and we are bringing it back to florida als too. we are bringing it all the way back. taking our jobs away from china. we are bringing them

back 12 years, you would've seen democratic senators from north dakota, wyoming, a lot of the great plainstates, nebraska, isisiana, so what i will say currently republicans have the structural advantage in the senate. those are not written in stone. it is perfectly possible that over the next decade or two windss, the political shift and they go up in some places and down and that changes the calculus in the senate. on the house side, it is absolutely true that the republican wave, state legislatures had domain over far more congressional districts when it came to redistricting and drawing standard democrats. lines than did democrats. part of the reason why democrats fromt take back the house 2010 all the way up until 2018 was because those lines had been drawn in such a way to give republicans an advantage. that is just a matter of science and fact. a lot of the gerrymander's got woken because they had been drawn in such a way using the 2010 notion of who a republican voter was. maybe that notion was a white woman in her early 50's who lives in the suburbs. in 2018, that voter cast democ

[laughter] he used a great word, spying. plainaxon stuff that all of us can understand, even me. >> yep. and, listen, we see this time and again. just a couple days ago we had adam schiff out there saying it's russian disinformation on the hard drive, and then the dni came out and said, no, it's not. how many reporters went with adam schiff and never corrected the record when the dni came out and said the laptop is not russian disinformation, it's not a spy campaign. time and time and time again in the trump era my profession, people that call themselves professional journalists, have leapt the american public down by misreporting and injecting subjective opinion and e trying to pretend it's fact. it's a shame, and they're disserving the public and the electorate. lou: and i heard reporters today and i read reporters today using, you know, reporting on the claims of russian disinformation as if the number one intelligence officer in this country, the dni, john ratcliffe, had never said there is no russian disinformation campaign,

he's running against reality to a great extent, because plain facts that are put before him such as, you owe $400 million to somebody, who is that somebody? and he kind of talks all around it. you know, this is not something that lends a sense of comfort. it was one thing to run as a chaos candidate four years ago, around issues that frankly were either not that important like hillary's e-mails or were kind of off in the distance, like, are you going to build a wall. now we're running against reality. and these are hard realities that are affecting lots of people's lives, like mass unemployment and like has death. and chaos doesn't appear to work. it's very jarring to see it on a small screen like that. >> playing against mass death. also with us, dr. jonathan reiner a professor of medicine at george washington university and the cardiologist for former vice president dick cheney. dr. reiner, looks like we caught you on the way to the o.r. there are models that project that if all of us wore masks, it could save 100,000 lives by the winter. that's a lot. that's a lot of lives saved.

great speaker. but he, he was plain spoken. and there was no artifice. there was nothing fakey about his speech. and, for that reason, people listened to him. poor truman, by the way, had to deal with something that many of the others did not have to. remember who he followed into the white house. it was franklin roosevelt. and franklin roosevelt had died. and truman became the president. and, for a year after, many peopuman as his accident-cy. he kind of was carrying a big load there trying to continue with roosevelt programs. certainly they were very, very big shoes to fill. so, these are the qualities professor dallek teaches us. but what about the less successful presidents of? -- of the 20th century? dallek tells us thathey lacked vision or failed to come up with a simple phrase to explain where they hope to lead it. i'm thinking here of three presidents of the 1920's. warren harding, calvin coolidge, and d then. herbert hoover. i'm wondering if you studied these in history class or in political science or maybe even in communication. if you remember anything particur about any of those thr
