henrietta: i think so.ou will not be able to see a trillion dollar package come out and then say you are fiscally conservative. it is incongruous for the senators running on a fiscally conservative basis. is mostlyn in georgia within the republican conference. will we see 5% to 7% of the voters boycott the election as a result of the outcome of the november 3 election? how can we turn out the republican base? happen we make sure voters come out and it is not just a delusion of democratic supporters. they hew towards fiscal conservatism which has to keep your spending below $700 billion. jonathan: great to catch up as always. our best to you and yours. henrietta treyz of veda partners. lisa, let's talk about this. in 2020.nservative this is not me advocating for anything. let me put that out there. it is not $1 trillion anymore, but $500 billion and you are still fiscally conservative. it is worth recognizing just how much this year has changed our hawkof what being a fiscal is in washington, d.c. that is ho

she is observed from henrietta nesbitt. i'm going to give once more the recipe of one of the other drinks in my department. cocktail and high balls were served upstairs. the new year's eggnog was a traditional or the entire white house was concerned with making. the creamy mixture was repaired the same way, and the great punch bowl was carried before the president. each time lifting his cup, president roosevelt came the same toast, to the united states. lillian rogers park, the white house made, declared after taking the eggnog that president eisenhower made in his upstairs kitchen was very strong. the one that was about had was also very strong. you see a lot of really strong eggnog, not only from the roosevelt administration, but to the present day. i don't know about the trump white house right now, but the ones that obama served and also president clinton would knock you out. that is just a tradition. i think president roosevelt is probably most known for the martini. that is where he gets his identity. lillian rogers p

henrietta: i really do.ad an interesting conversation with the client who was still looking at stimulus as unnecessary and saying the market does not need stimulus. i think that is an outdated way of thinking about how d.c. considers economic policy. this is an anomaly under the trump administration that anyone cared about the stock market. it is about the fundamental data. it is about the employment numbers come it is about gdp data. it is exactly the kind of print say makes members in d.c. -- massive increase in covid, we are going into the holidays, we will not be here for another month and a half, we have to do something now. i feel be something in the $600 billion range, that includes $300 billion in money that has already been allocated in previous iterations of stimulus, the cares act or the ppp program . there will be somewhere in the range of $300 billion of new funding that goes out to extend the pandemic on employment assistance. point as key sticking we've been talking about for a couple of month

david: that is henrietta treyz of veda partners. coming up, how the least fortunate among us are dealing with the grove -- with the growing covid prices -- covid crisis. ons is "balance of power" bloomberg television and radio. ♪ david: this is "balance of power" on bloomberg television and radio. i am david westin. ministrationdrug staff reported the covid-19 vaccination is highly effective and there is nothing venting its emergency use authorization. for how this works into the process of getting the vaccine to our dashed us all, we welcome michelle cortez. welcomes all, we michelle cortez. michelle: we received a document that outlines the details of the biontech --ech -- they look for everything problematic or worrisome that they need their advisors to look at closely in the hearing that will be happening on thursday. normally we see concerning these documents, they say thinks this is something we are worried about, we are not sure if there'll be a safety issue for these are side effects we have seen. this is one of the cleanest

henrietta has praise for ida. she said even though she was temperamental, she could work magic and make anything happen. you get an idea of the interplay. the interesting thing that happens when the roosevelts come to the white house is they actually in a way end a segregated practice. back in the time of president taft, he hired a woman naped mrs. jaffery who was a segregationist. there was a multi-racial cooking staff, she created segregated eating spaces. before all the servants ate together. but she had a separate table for whites and blacks. eleanor roosevelt fired most of the white people. i will let you decide if that's progress or not. it's no longer segregation. you have pretty much one race in the kitchen. overall, we see that we have these cooks who are culinary artists and many times they are family confidants. presidents go to the funerals, they go to the weddings. they sent them notes and gifts when significant family events happen. we see presidents moved when they have to leave the white house. the

henrietta, you are a co—owner of a ca re henrietta, you are a co—owner of a care home.ke to ask? as you can imagine, we are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the vaccine. however, given the speed of its development and the fa ct we speed of its development and the fact we are the only country so far satisfied with its safety, and negative messaging on social media, some of our staff and residents' families have some anxiety about the vaccine being given to themselves or their loved ones. how would you reassure them that the vaccine is safe for them and our residents, some of whom might be very frail?” completely understand the anxiety. i think what i would do is tackle this in three ways. number one, to tell you claim and straight that i genuinely have said to my 78—year—old mum, who is probably listening now, that, you know, mum, you must have this vaccine or any of the vaccines the mhra approves as sooi'i as the vaccines the mhra approves as soon as they are available. this is really important, because you are so at risk. so that's a kind of personal peace, if you l

henrietta: absolutely follow-up with more action later. administration will be another round of investment in the economy, whether that is the bridge, and other stimulus kind of component with ui or state and local aid, or if it is a rebuilt moment. that is the way it has been put to me by biden campaign counsel. there is a bridge concept, and then a rebuilt concept which goes towards getting the unemployment rate down, specifically the permanently unemployed. democrats have long felt the 1.6 joint dollars in deficit increases authorized by the 2016 tax bill are something they can deploy and they want to focus on infrastructure due to the multiplier effect of job creation, and that will be the single most realistic probability for legislative action under a joe biden administration and the first early second quarter of next year. jonathan: thanks for jumping on the phone. henrietta treyz. veda partners director of economic policy. we advance .2%. retail sales justifying the need for a fiscal package. it has been the data in the last three

the african-americans who cooked for roosevelt would often be doing their thing and henrietta nesbitt come up behind them and adjust the seasonings. whatever they were making, she messed it up so the food never worked out. but i want to point out the african-americans i did find through my research and i did a lot of research here looking for residents -- references to resident staff. the main part of my research was old newspapers. a lot of companies are digitizing and if you can just figure out the terms used at that time, you can find out a lot about the cooks. the people i found where ida allen, the chief cook. let me back up and say the term white house executive chef does not come into existence until 1961. jacqueline kennedy created that term. before that, they were called first cook, head cook, or chief cook. then there is armstead burnett, who started as a pantry man, worked in the white house for a long time and then he leaves during the johnson administration to start his catering business in the washington, d.c. area. elizabeth blake, who was an ssistant cook. daisy bonner

so it's fitting that this is named after henrietta lacks. it's a fitting it was a priority of elijah cummings. i was proud to be able to introduce the bill in the senate. it's passed. this is all about health equity and one step toward ending those disparities in health care and treatment. >> well, i think it's a great thing, and i'm sure that elijah cummings' family and all of us that loved and supported him are glad you're doing it in his name and doing it, period, for those underserved communities that have some equity here. thank you for being with us tonight, senator chris van hollen. >> thank you. >> let's bring in our political strategist who is, of course, chris lue, who is a former deputy secretary of labor in the obama administration, and elise jordan, who is a republican strategist. let me go to you first, elise. what do you make of a variety of reports published just in the past couple days which describe not only trump's selfish state of mind but his concrete plans to hold on to power and destroy our democracy? i just have to pu

we will start off with henrietta. good morning to you henrietta.e arrival of the vaccine, however given the speed of the vaccine development and the fact that we are the only country so far satisfied with its safety and of course a lot of negative messaging on social media, some of our staff and residents' families have some anxiety about the vaccine being given to them or their loved ones. how would you reassure them that the vaccine is safe for them and residents, some of whom may be very frail. 0k, thank you. i completely understand the anxieties. i think what i would do is tackle this in three ways. number one, to tell you plain and straight that i genuinely have said to my, you know, 78—year—old mum, who is probably listening now that, mum, you must have this vaccine or any of the vaccines that mhra approves as they had available. this is really important because you are so at—risk. so that is a kind of personal peice, if you like. i am very confident in the assessments that mhra make. the next piece is, if you witnessed the press briefing fro

our thanks to henrietta in ten men.annel and many viewers praising you for your communication. one of the things you said a few weeks ago which stuck in my mind was the mother test and you said you set your own mum that if she got a call to go for a vaccine, to make sure she was at the front of the queue and the next question we have concerns mums. clair asks: "both my 90—year—old mother and 94—year—old mother—in—law live in their own home. will they be prioritised as one of the first to get the vaccine, the same as elderly who are in care homes? how will they get it?" thank you for the question. it is a very important question. so, the joint committee on vaccination and immunisation, jcvi, is completely independent. but the government takes its advice extremely seriously. and follows it, frankly. now, the top priority that the jcvi has identified our care homes. for older people. and also, the workers and care homes. and the reason for thatis and care homes. and the reason for that is that the death toll in care homes

sure that the tuskegee -- tragedies like the tuskegee syphilis experiments or the exploitation of henrietta lacks never ever happen again. finally, we have to engage trusted voices. medical organizations like the national medical association and the national hispanic medical association, faith leaders and the minority gatekeepers like the historically black colleges and universities, the divine nine, tribal leaders, and the national conference of hispanic state legislators, all of whom ive spoken to frequently and recently as this week. because when these gatekeepers are informed and confident, their communities will be informed and confident. i want to close by saying i know the importance of representation. many of you heard me tell this story i never believed i could be a doctor, much less the surgeon general of the united states, because i never met another black doctor, even though i had straight a's. the first doctor i met of color was dr. ben carson when i was in college. it took me that long to believe i could be it because it took me that long to see it. that's why i could not be m

i've spoken about the history of mistreatment communities of color, the tuskegee, and henrietta blackmanwho took her without permission. the distrust comes from a real place. several surgeon generals showed that the tuskegee treatments were denied to black men. believe you me, this legacy is important to me, and helping to restore that trust is important. we've had many people involved in the review, and the study participants, of color. i walk the talk. i got vaccinated on friday. i actually feel great. my mother-in-law and my mother are watching, and they've been asking me all weekend, how are you feeling? i feel great. i hope people will get the vaccine based on information that they get from trusted resources because it is okay to have questions. what is not okay to make poor health decisions based on misinformation. >> brennan: that same study from the kaiser foundation shows the vaccine cuts across racial lines and also across political ones. but the highest amount of hesitancy about taking the shot is from republicans. 42%. rural residents, 35%. wouldn't it help to persuade those

in 1951, doctors at johns hopkins university harvested the cancer cells of henrietta lacks, a black womaning in baltimore, without her knowledge or permission. her abnormally reproductive cells have yielded millions of dollars and are still used in research today. >> so, that's one of the pushbacks that we continue to get even now with all of this messaging and how important it is. and they simply rall, "well, you remember what happened before." >> ra orte there's also de information gap. a september study released by the covid collaborative, unidosus and the n.a.a.c.p. found 41% of black americans surveyed said they know little or nothing about how vaccines are developed and tested fueling confusion about how the vaccine has been developed and just what is being injected. most notably, when someone receives the vaccine, they're not being injected with the live coronavirus. >> if we made it a pie and each slice of pie is like a different viral protein that you need to make up a whole virus, you're getting a-- one slice of the pie. so, iist's not it's not an active infection in-- in the sa

do know about such as enslaved black women being used as experiments for gynecological surgeries, henriettaut her consent, black men being withheld treatment when we knew there were a cure. and even today in 2020, black women are getting sterilized and having hysterectomies without their consent. those are public stories. patients speak to me, most of my patients are black and people of color, about how they feel as though the medical community doesn't always listen to them or treat them fairly. and so i thought about really all thosefacts, that i do believe science and we think the vaccine is safe and the medical community does need to gain people's trust, and so due to this history of racism in medicine, i decided it would be an important step for me to take in advancing science, hopefully, as a physician and a black woman. >> there's been so much talk about trying to encourage minority communities to get the vaccine. but, doctor, whose job is it to build that trustworthiness? is the onus on people who are skeptical or rather the institutions that contributed to the skepticism? >> right.

are all there to make sure tragedies like the tuskegee syphilis experiments or the exploitation of henrietta lax never ever happen again. finally we have to engage trusted voices, medical organizations like the national medical association and the national hispanic medical association. faith leaders and minority gatekeepers like the historically black colleges and universities, the divine nine, tribal leaders and the national conference of hispanic state legislators, all of whom i have spoken with frequently and as recently as this week. because when these gatekeepers are informed and confident, their communities will be informed and confident. i want to close by saying i know the importance of representation. many of you have heard me tell the story i never believed i could be a doctor much less the surgeon general of the united states because i had never met another black doctor, even though i had straight as, the first doctor i met of color was dr. ben carson when i was in college. it took me that long to believe that i could be it because it took me that long to see it. and that's why i

we can talk about henrietta in baltimore had tissue samples taken from her womb.ountless, horrible stories of medical experimentation and abuse and it's time for the medical complex and health care more broadly to be able to have honest conversations and to demonstrate trustworthiness. and public health is actually positioned to fight for health equity, to fight for racial justice because we know those issues impact and determine life outcomes and life exposures. so this was my opportunity to live forward a truer legacy around empowerment, about a sense of agency and i really jumped at that opportunity and i want to be able to have a conversation, a conversation nationally, and a conversation with my community about i hear your fears and concerns. knowing your fears and concerns, this is the truth of the science. this is the truth of the data. and to walk hand in hand, science and empathy and to walk people along this decision. >> dr. purnell, your father was a man of science. we were looking at some pictures you shared with us. a striking man. what would you want
