a real rasta man is a faithful servant of the almighty, jah. jah, 0k. who tries his best to live a righteous life. jah is god, yeah? to love his next. his neighbour? to fulfil the will of god on earth. so, it's not about smoking ganja and listening to bob marley? no, no. we are not a smoker, to tell you the truth. it's not all rasta will smoke ganja. you have rasta who don't smoke. singing one of my biggest loves is music. i've always loved music because i can connect with it. i don't need to see, i don't need to hear with music. i can connect with the rhythm. music's beautiful because it crosses all boundaries. it doesn't matter what skin colour, what disability. it doesn't matter. i said, "i play drums." he said, "i play drums." he started playing and i started following. we just sat there, the two of us, drumming, jamming. # no woman, no cry... sharing energy and positive vibes and connecting. a really beautiful moment. wooo! ahh, that was awesome, amazing! do you still feel excluded at times? we have no rights. we're not ethiopian citizens. we're fo

jah and ron klain just explained that. they didn't plan.'t get the testing underway and now we are now going to let them take this democracy away from us and that's why we're leading the way in the senate and working with republican and democratic secretary of states across the country to make sure that we extend vote at home, vote by mail to every american and also make sure that these polls are openerly 20 days early in november in states across the country so people have more of a chance to go to the polls without congregating in the same place. there is so much we can do and all i can think of when i heard that nurse is the president sitting in the white house. you know what he did? he just ordered his vote by mail ballot and absentee ballot from palm beach, florida. so he and his wife get to vote that way while she's doing her work on the front line and is then not allowed to vote. no one in america is going to tolerate this. >> it's nurse rene bacon and i just want to say her name one more time because she put in a heroic day's work a

jah was saying you went from 150 to 200. that's directionally good. that's good, but it's not a good absolute number. he's saying you need to be at 3500 a3 500, and some say i'm conservative. 500 is probably too low. but they are bragging about 200. >> yeah, we've been behind on testing this entire time, and that's the reason actually why we had to close everything down because we don't know kparktly where all these cases are in the country. so we had to use this blunt instrument which is what social distancing is. now, the time that we can remove that blunt instrument and go back to tracing each individual case is if we could be sure of our numbers. and we're nowhere near that. and we're still nowhere near what the administration has planned. i'm worried they're still not acknowledging why widespread testing is needed and what levels that we need to be. they are also not acknowledging the role of the federal government. it just doesn't make sense for there not to be a national coordinated effort at this point. and i hope that the administration is go

jah i want to start with you. i want to put this up as california recommendations. people should think of it as what you are likely to see in your own state. face coverings, temperature checks in public places. waiters in masks and gloves handing out disposable menus. staggered student arrival times, reconfigured class times. no large gatherings. meaning no sporting events with any kind of audience. that's the what. what i want to know for you is the why. why and how will this help get over or beat the pandemic? >> good morning. thanks so much for having me on. the reason we need to do all of that is we want to iowe we can't open may 1. if we do, we'll have a shutdown right away. if we put these things in place along with a very, very, very aggressive testing and isolation, there is a pretty good chance we can stay open for long periods of time. if we don't do this, the virus isn't gone. it's going to come right back. basically, we'll find ourselves in the same place we were in before and we have to shut down again. these ideas and these policies, which i've general

jah was talking about a few minutes ago. >> you know, it's come up a lot in our reporting and peoplee been talking to both on the show and elsewhere about how haywire and insane this market has gotten. there is sketchy middlemen and deliveries that state governors think they will get that don't show up and get rerouted because someone out bids them. not only the defense production act but there should be unified acquisition process for the whole of the country that is get thing material and distributing it in such a way so that you don't have this weird bidding war that's happened. >> exactly. and it's a mystery to me why the president doesn't invoke this. it's desperately needed. most experts agree that it's needed and lives are at stake. we have in new york, we have these nurses and doctors and health care workers risking their lives without the proper equipment. and this is going to happen in other parts of the country, too. so you need this kind of command and control for not only manufacturing but for distribution so it goes to the places that it's most needed. >> so there's a l

jah, the director of the harvard global health institute and ron klain is with us, former senior aide to vice president joe biden and he's now co-host of the podcast "epidemic." there is interesting statistical developments in new york today. governor cuomo had to report the largest number of deaths on a single day yet, 779 but the total number of hospitalizations seems to be moving in a downward direction. how many days of consistent downward movement do you need to know where you are in relation to the peak? >> yeah, so good evening, lawrence, thanks for having me on. it was a hard day. a lot of americans died today and we are still at a phase where many more americans will be dying over the upcoming days and weeks so it will be a difficult period. in terms of the peak and have we hit it in new york, i think as your question sort of insinuates, you can't look at any one day. my sense is several days of consistent drops and i think we will feel more confident that we have plateaued and started heading in the right direction. all of the hard work social distancing has been happening a

ashish jah, he said at that rate, it would take four years to test every american. at minimum, the administration needs to be doing at least double what it is doing now per day. the administration is now trying to shift the focus to testing after last thursday's briefing where the president suggested injecting disinfectants into the body as a possible treatment. tonight, the president was asked about the spike in people using disinfectants since he said that. >> i know you said they were sarcastic. >> i can't imagine why. i can't imagine why. yeah. >> take any responsibility? >> no, i don't. i can't imagine that. i can't imagine that. >> well, he doesn't take responsibility. he can't imagine why maryland, tennessee, illinois, michigan, all reporting an increase in poison-control calls. let's just remind everybody exactly what he said at that briefing. >> right. and then i see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a a minute. one minute. and is there a way we can do something like that by injectioinjection inside or -- or almost a cleaning. >> that dangerous an

jah, testing is such a crucial part of this. the president said he supports testing and there are some professionals who are, in his words, not that big on testing. you've talked a lot about testing and you have said that we are far in this country from doing everything we need to do. how much more is needed? >> yeah, so first of all, that report from wuhan really is extraordinary. here is in very simple terms for americans what they need to understand. if we're going to control the virus, either we're going to do it through extreme social distancing or we're going to do it through ubiquitous testing, lots and lots of testing. we have estimated we need at least three times as much testing as we have right now. we have been flat for like 3 1/2 weeks. we have made no progress. i don't know which professional -- i haven't met a single professional who does president think we need a lot more testing and we're not making progress. it's baffling because the alternative is to stay shutdown. that is not an alternative anybody likes. >>
