steven hess of the bookings institution and professor howard penniman of georgetown university., this is the first of a series of programs that are going to extend over the full period of the campaign until beyond the election in november in our bicentennial political year. what we want to do is to bring a picture of the american electoral process. we will have special programs dealing with the parties and the media, and the campaign technique and polling and the rest. but what we are really aiming to do is to give you a picture of the way in which we select our american president. and how 215 or 220 million americans can provide every four years a process by which leadership can be developed and transferred over these 200 years of american history. who what we hope to do is bring you discussions of these various aspects of the electoral campaign and begin that discussion with a consideration of an historical overview of just the way in which this has worked in the past. the critical elections, the major elections, the watershed election, if you will, in the american electoral p

diane hess, thank you.s a virus spread through china the country reported it had no impact on children, that's with the china said. obviously though that does not seem to be the case. so what else does china know about the virus that the united states may be working to uncover? dan hoffman is a former cia station chief who served in moscow, iraq and pakistan. let me read to you from josh rogan, he's a columnist from "the washington post." it's title is, the world is waking up to the character of the chinese communist party that beijing's early cover-up is ongoing refusal to share critical scientific information and honest data, and their use of aid to reward loyalty or punish critics is shocking to all the communist party regime. they will do anything to protect its own interest regardless of the damage to public health. dan, you cover these issues for a long time. do you think it's possible they knew about these effects on children and didn't tell anyone? >> i think with china there is two concerns. the fi

we will start with american enterprise institute's frederick hess, who just came out with a new report, "a blueprint for back to school," looking at how k-12 schools across the country should prepare to return in the fall. guest: good to be with you. host: tell us about the new report. who did you talk to to come up with the report and what were the results? guest: it was inspired when i was talking to colleagues who are state chiefs, superintendents -- there has been uncertainty. no more school in the spring, it struck me in my colleagues who helped coordinate responses in the bush white house when they were doing major planning, public health officials in a community or state say we cannot have kids back in school this fall, that is one thing. we have to respect that. however, it seems pretty clear that in large chunks of the country, come september, some public health officials say schools can be open but they need to be opened smart and safe. so there is no excuse for schools not to open, because we have a plan. so we pulled together a task force of about 21 of us, a half dozen fol

example, it is hard to find fact from fiction, in arkansas in stone county, there is a legend about the hess brothers who robbed the u.s. meant and made their way to stone county where a posse caught up with them. a shootout occurred and the brothers were killed. when their bodies were examined, there were no bullets on them. there is a legend that all of this gold is hidden. it can be hard sometimes to know what exactly is true and what it sent -- what it isn't. ferguson was the most well-known guerrilla during the war. he fought some with the organized troops but he was a -- was really cruel and murdered more than simply fighting in war. after the war, he became only one of two former confederates executed for war crimes. he was not the only person fighting guerrilla warfare in the area. i wrote a100 50 page masters thesis. if you need some reading material, feel free to google my name and guerrilla warfare. if you need to fall asleep at night, start reading it. guaranteed to put you right to sleep or your money back. what is interesting to me is that if you start reading about appalachia

as you see, for example in hess versus indiana. police are cleaning the streets from an antiwar's commission and some guy yells, we will take the street later. i am leaving out the f word. the court says that is not enough. hardware, closer case. there was a boycott of his noses in mississippi -- of businesses in mississippi. the naacp had encouraged the boycott and threats were made that people would have their next broken if they did not participate in the boycott and patronize those businesses. said, it was not sufficiently direct or imminent threat or indication of lawless action. so it did not support a conviction, or in this case a judgment awarding damages. we have holder against humanitarian law project, case involving a do terrorist organizations where the court did uphold the statute. involving aid to a terrorist organization. it directs assistance, advice or service, almost the court defers to congress here and such. that may be put down to the war on terror. everyone got swept away with that. sub species called true thr

one was morris, a nissan plant worker in mississippi, and said even when hess plant opens, he won't be going back to work. he said, morgan, the people i work with are my brothers and sisters. i spend more time with them than i do with my family, and i can't afford to go back to work, but he can't afford to day. for the first time in his life he's had to filed unemployment, but because of the health risk to his own family, he can't go back and that's a choice many workers are facing. >>> keeping your family healthy versus keeping food on the table, doesn't sound like something anyone should have to choose between. i want to head down to the state of texas where one of the hot spots has been the prison system. morgan chesky is outside a prison in huntsville. we node this virus can spread fast in close quarters. walk us through it. >> reporter: absolutely. we're see one example after another of how the prisons can become hot spots across the country from ohio to right here in texas. texas has one largest inmate populations in the country, 135,000 inmates, and the results we're seeing brin

while some national banks hess stated, -- hesitated, nebraska's local institutions stepped up and they're providing these loans and they make sure that the small businesses in their communities receive assistance. to our community banks and credit unions, nebraskans applying for these loans are not just statistics halfway around the country. the people hurting are their friends, their families, and their neighbors. the people who need their help live just down the street. one of these banks is union bank and trust in lincoln. this family-owned bank is not in the top 200 banks by assets nationally, but after the first 72 hours of the paycheck protection program, they ranked second in the nation for the number of loans approved. and like many other lending institutions, union bank and trust accomplished this while adjusting to working from home for the first time. their remarkable efforts and those of another nebraska institution, pinnacle bank, were covered in a recent "washington post" story for leading the way nationally with this program. it's good to see the paycheck protection program

floyd's body with, of course, officer chauvin on hess ne his neck. he was restrained. saying he couldn't breathe and in clear distress and witnesses around him saying he informs clear distress. these are the kinds of facts that should meet a federal conviction but i feel like it's really important, rachel, to make a point here, which is that there's no question that there needs to be a criminal conviction and set of criminal convictions for the officers that both did nothing in the face of this and were actively involved in his death but i don't think it's sufficient and this is where this justice department has really walked away from the role that it needs to play. this justice department should be strongly considering opening a pattern and practice investigation. criminal accountability can be pitched as a few bad apples in a police department but minneapolis has a long history of problems that date back for years and the chief himself has been aware of this, has actually instituted programs in the city police department but you've got a culture in the police depart

hess, we do appreciate you coming with us today. much obliged to you.ou again soon. >> thank you. stuart: let's show you the, one of the main reasons why this market is rallying so much. moderna, drug company, they are the news maker of the morning. they have reported very positive results of their vaccine trials in humans and a couple other drug makers have had something positive to say about vaccines as well. that all adds to this vaccine surge which we may be seeing, which the president wants to see and the dow is now up 810 points. >>> businesses want to reopen, people want to get out, no question about it. some are defying shutdown orders. there's a defiant new jersey gym owner this morning. he did open. listen to this. >> two weeks turned into three, three turned into four, a month turned into two and here we are, month three, no help, watching the middle class struggle. not just small businesses, but individuals all over the country in these states that are staying locked down beyond the curve being flattened and we are sick and tired of having o

the president making his first trip to one of hess own branded properties in more than 75 days since he was in mar-a-lago before the pane was deemed a national emergency. he's trying to send a message that the country is back open for business. as he and deborah birx tried to explain yesterday if they wanted to get on the this weekend, all of that is acceptable if done from a social distance. they haven't -- you may remember where white house officials said the president was doing that part of the doctor examination, but he's never concluded -- that he was taking hydroxychloroquine, the andy- anti-malarial drug, but the physician is not reviolation why the physical has not been complete. other years they've been done in jan wore or february, here we are in may, and we don't have the results from the president or the white house yet. >> they ordered the houses of worship -- and he's saying they should reopen immediately. >> the president there announcing he deemed houses of worship essential, signaling to churches and synagogues, they could open this weekend. we should point out there

one context we just heard is the recent hess torrie of guns in the united states and the ways in whichll the rhetoric out of the nra and gop has created terminology like stand your ground, or what i wry in my book, the castle doctrine, the ideas that the white home is a particular castle, and just look at the ways that rhetoric has been deployed to give the idea that basically white americans can use their weapons to defend themselves i think it's important to also note there's many gun owners who don't fire their guns. these are the stories we don't hear about, but i would say that the bigger context here, about the way in which guns have been constructed as symbols of the white privilege in a way, the ways in which guns, particularly carrying guns in public like this, has been constructed as a way of kind of showing a particular form of white authority, i think provides a lot of the context for a lot of these shootings that we are seeing, particularly the arbury shooting. i think that you're exactly right, there's all these histories that play out that we need to think about, but als

bringing the air force and navy together is a special opportunity for us to pass that message of could he hess- cohesiveness and we're going to look out for each other. neil: each claims they have the better squad, the air force and navy. they're both stunning to me and they have to coordinate this with each other, so, how do they do this ahead of time and practice ahead of time? where the heck do they do it? >> so, we've been down to pensacola, florida with the navy blue angels and had an opportunity to practice a few days to make sure we get this right and look very precise and perfect over top the communities struggling with covid because we want to show them we can work together and we have your backs and it's really the best to pass our message of unity to bring the air force and navy. and have a little friendly competition, but in times like this it's about bringing everybody together and love to represent the service and extend our gratitude to the folks on the ground battling covid every day. the frontline workers are working hard and we're working hard and we're ready at all times and

hess hedge of what could be the results in november.s mail voting, especially in a state like florida was made popular by republicans. it's republicans who years ago, 20 years ago in florida started encouraging their supporters to vote by mail. in california, the party was way ahead of the mail-in voting. it's not just that mail voting is safe, it's something that republican versus exploited and i don't say that in a nefarious way. they've taken advantage of it in a smart way for years so it's irresponsible both what the president is doing, is what he is usually doing. which is looking out for himself. >> so congressman, to that point, i mean, is the president, in fact, risking losing out on some votes by making this his messaging? i mean, i think what congressman curbelo says makes a lot of sense, especially if are you a senior citizen who perhaps has voted republican for most of your life and you don't necessarily want to go to the polls amid coronavirus? >> yeah. interestingly, kasie, the data shows that it is not, fraud is not preva

i thought hess was credible, very truthful. mika was very tough on him. tough interview. to me i think he came across about as credible as one can be when going through this process. the lawyer who handled the vetting of joe biden during the vice presidential search, said he oversaw a team of nearly ten lawyers who spent nearly two months digging through records. any kind of complain about senator biden and sexual harassment never came up. . i think that's fair to put out. also the university of delaware has released a statement, saying it received the biden senatorial documents as a gift. we are currently curating the collection, the papers are not yesterday available to the public. nbc news has report that had joe biden has requested the secretary of the senate release all of the records -- that would mean the personnel records, and that would by any reports actually directly related to personnel. i want to make sure i get that all out. ishil to go to you, michelle goldberg. a couples of challenges that i think people are having with the way this is pla

force >> it is jim hess again. you have heard my comments about the pedestrian experience.e design of the building will enhance the experience and i am excited about this having a pass through from the corner of market and van ness over to 12th street. and the developer has told me that they are planning to negotiate with m.t.a. to rebuild the entrance that is outside on the sidewalk and into the building and into the passageway. the four entrances are really an impediment to pedestrian convenience because they are made out of cement and they get in the way. and to have one of them gone, i had hoped originally we would get two or three of them gone, but to have one of them gone will make a big difference in terms of the experience and also pulled the pedestrians into the passageway which will make it easier in inclement weather and otherwise. and i lived in the area and go across those various streets all the time. they're currently muni platforms on market street and so you can stop at those. when the van ness brt finally gets done, there will be platforms at either end. g
