and john heilemann is still here. "the new york times" covers this change, there once was a time when president trump made clear the governors mainly responsible for the fight against the coronavirus pandemic but that was sunday, on monday, he declared that he was really in charge and would make the decision on when and how to reopen the country. it seemed like it's about more than just a reversal. it seems like it's starting to look like desperation. what do you see? >> well, you know, donald trump lusts after power, nicolle, but he doesn't know how to use effectively. most of the time he uses it to keep himself at center stage, he's thriving during these press conferences because it's an opportunity for him to engage in performance art. once again, to avoid the hard decisions that leadership and good governing and good governance requires. florida, when it went through that long period where governor desantis wouldn't close the beaches and this game of chicken between florida and trump, the governor and trump, about

john heilemann, national affairs analyst for nbc news and msnbc is with us.s co-host of showtime's "the circus" and the editor-in-chief of "the recount." congressman kildee, what is happening in michigan? >> well, it's tough. partly what's happening is that this crisis has sort of ripped the cover off some of the economic inequities, some of the inequities that we've seen in society for a long time. 14% of michigan's population for example is african-american. almost 40% of the deaths are occurring in the african-american community. what we're seeing is a disparity in terms of the impact. and then we see this group of protesters show up at the capitol trying to get the governor to dial back on the life-saving measures that she has taken. the president could take a lesson from governor whitmer. she's willing to make tough decisions that in some circles are unpopular but she knows that they will save -- these decisions will save lives. this is really fundamentally a question between people who don't have the patience of a few weeks that are willing to make the

still with us, congresswoman donna edwards and john heilemann. y, john, jonathan karl is hardly the first person to say it but he said it again tonight. the president craves approval. the president was playing clips of what the governor of new york said about him in the briefing room in the last several days. the governor used the word phenomenal about the federal response. >> yeah. >> the president at one point was angry that the clip stopped too early. there was another compliment that we in the audience missed. cuomo says he was looking for the meeting. tell us about the relationship between these two guys, and does it mean that cuomo has figured this out? >> yeah. brian, you know, holding press conferences in a wartime setting and playing video of a political -- a member of the oppositional political party, it sounds churchillian, right? churchill did that, right, in world war ii? look, they could not be more different, and i think, look, here are the few ways in which they're the same. you know, they have been the dominant figures of this cor

do you think that holds, john heilemann? -- i think that it creates the context in in which the argumen that we're going to have in the fall, and, again, the one thing we don't know is will the virus be back in the fall before election day or not? and if it's back it's a totally different scenario. but even if it doesn't come back, the argument we're going to have, and you can tell this is the only terrain donald trump can fight this election on is i built the world's greatest economy and i'm better qualified than joe biden to bring it back. and i think that the ways in which trump's failures and his -- not just failures from the standpoint of liberal pundits but from the standpoint of how americans feel right now and how they are in public opinion reflecting views that are very dayimning regarding th president's leadership and whether it's about talking about his leadership, that sort of sets the context in which trump's argument that he's the one who is best qualified to bring the economy back. that's the context in which

john heilemann is back with us.e boston globe" with those obituaries, the editorial today, and it all coming in a presidential campaign. it's easy to forget from day to day that there is a presidential campaign, but the president seems to think the way to run his campaign is in that white house briefing room every day by getting in these fights with reporters. >> that's right. i mean i think in a sense we're being reminded every day that he's running a campaign because he's using those briefing opportunities of the white house coronavirus task force in fact to continue running for president and campaigning for president. that is part of what inspired this editorial today, which is to say if the president is going to use that platform to make his case for the presidency, it's time we take him on and really judge him on his own terms. he talked about in his inauguration speech in 2017 american carnage, this american carnage stops right here, stops right now. he was describing factories scattered across the american la

let's talk about it with our guest tonight, john heilemann, national affairs analyst, co-host of "the circus" on showtime, editor in chief of the recount. john, i'm going to begin with a piece of work just handed to me by the essential maggie haberman of "the new york times." here's the headline. it's a bad one for the white house. "trade adviser warned white house in january the risks of a pandemic." foefrp give me these two quotes. top white house adviser starkly warned administration officials that the coronavirus crisis could cost the united states trillions of dollars and put millions of americans at risk of illness or death. this is peter navarro we're talking about. quote, the lack of immune protection or an existing cure or vaccine could leave americans defenseless. in the case of a full-blown coronavirus outbreak. this lack of protection elevates the risk of the coronavirus evolving into a full-blown pandemic, imperilling the lives of millions of americans. john, since that's what we're looking at tonight, a full-blown pandemic, talk about this daily dynamic we see in the bri

actually promoting mass gatherings at this one person has been missing from the public eye as john heilemann reports. there's one question everyone's are asking me could i work with the country's president because if this was the last time daniel take it was seen in a video conference which 2 months ago. well he disappeared as the coronavirus pandemic the world his wife and vice president has been telling everyone else to go as normal as he can you go to work here in on the all of our authorities report normality in all actions and activities but i salute you for they certainly do going into easter boodles beaches and bars have been open beauty pageants have been held. and the government itself is actually organized mass events but this motion titled love in the times of covered 19. even the football league continues and is apparently seeing a surge in international popularity because almost every other country's close those term. we got a request from a broadcast companies to meet in who naturally showed interest in libel league games not. officially nicaragua has fewer than 10 cases but go

john heilemann -- >> are you serious? hn, i mean, you know, in the immortal words of forrest gump, "stupid is as stupid do , does." in this case, stupid would be the wisconsin republican party, forced people to go out and vote in the middle of a pandemic, believing that it would lower turnout and would elect a republican so they could purge voter rolls. now, with one conservative voting with the two liberals in that 3-3 deadlock case, now we have that ramification, that voting rights case actually may favor the voters. maybe there won't be the massive voter purge republicans in wisconsin wanted to do. also, man, you look at kenosha. if tim russet was alive, he'd say, 2020 is wisconsin, wisconsin. more specifically, kenosha, kenosha, kenosha. kenosha went big for the democr democrats' candidate. >> not just stupid is as stupid does, but stupider is as stupider does. in this case, stupider was donald trump. i think you may remember, on the friday before the scheduled wisconsin election, donald trump, at the daily white house

my god, john heilemann, very little death, almost nothing. it sounds like the last clip you show from february the 28th. the guy just doesn't learn. he is a day trader. he doesn't learn. again, let's -- yeah, let's reopen states that can reopen, but with no testing, there's no way that we can actually get a better understanding of how things are going. again, he has no answer for testing. people have been hammering him on testing nonstop for, i don't know, weeks. over a month. still nothing when it comes to testing. >> he can't get it done. >> he can't do it. >> yes, i believe i've heard him get hammered on that question on this show consistently for at least a month, and maybe more. i find it just utterly baffling, how the answer could be, "we have the capacity to do the testing, but we just don't think it is necessary in some of these states because they've been lucky so far and have not had significant numbers of cases or outbreaks." i mean, if you have the capacity, why on earth would you not, in fact, want to deploy it in a wide way? i t

john heilemann, as larry hogan said, people calling in, they had to warn the people of maryland not to do this. this it was going to kill them. a bigger thing, on thursday, i think it was, the food and drug administration came out and said, "do not take the drugs that the president has been scamming on for the past month." people on fox news have been promoting it for the past month. that dr. oz and all these other scam doctors have been promoting for the past month. the food and drug administration, to the trump administration, "if you do this, it may till ykill you. it may damage your heart." the next day, the trump administration had to put out another warning to the american people, "do not take disinfectants. you don't inject them. you don't swallow them. bad for your health. could kill you." on two days, donald trump's own administration had to actually tell the american people, "please don't listen to the president. it could be hazardous to your health." >> yeah. look, we were on the air on friday, joe, and you and i both, maybe me a little louder even than you, i said, "you kno

that's a quote, john heilemann, from dr. vin gupta, a leading public health expert and emergency room doctor treating coronavirus patient himself. i don't have a question, john, but what are your thoughts of what you saw up there yesterday? >> well, you've hit the high notes, or the low notes. it is beyond -- you know, there is a surreal quality to it. it's not even like an episode of "veep" anymore. it really is talking about cartoon parodies at this point. "the simpsons" you played i think was right. here's the serious thing, a very basic thing, right? think about how completely divorced from reality the president is. i want to go back to the beginning of the week. sitting here on friday. on monday, the president of the united states stood up and said, as he was talking about the overall death toll from this pandemic, he said that, you know, it looks like when all is said and done, we're probably going to be at 50,000, maybe 60,000 when all is said and done, when it is all over. 50,000, 60,000. that's what he said monday.

i think that makes sense. >> let me -- >> oh, let's -- >> i want to talk to john heilemann first. u're a california guy. >> yeah. >> we know that a big part of california culture, a big part of florida culture, is walking on the beach. you know, i've got no problem with beaches being open if people walk. again, not congregate. people need to get out of their houses. it is just like the public parks. not so sure it is the wise move to close it down. you could open up public parks, let people get out, get fresh air, exercise, walk with their families and friends, as long as they socially distance. i know that #florida morons was going around this weekend when he reopened some of the beaches. if social distancing is respected, that's actually good for people to get out and walk. good for their health. good to build up their lungs. good for a lot of different reasons. >> yeah. look, i agree with that. i think the problem for governor desantis, as you know, joe, is that florida is a very big state that was very, very late to the party. if you think about other big states, places like ne

national affairs analysts and co-host of show time's the circus and editor and chief of the recount, john heilemannngton anchor for bbc world news america caddkatty k. >> and you're actually starting to see, willie, in the media some of the same trump supporters who were calling this a media hoax at the beginning saying the media was exaggerating it, at the same time the president was saying it was 15 cases and very soon would be down to zero. now ofors over a million cases and more people dead than died in vietnam. but you're hearing some of these same people now talk about how it was a mistake for the united states -- the hospitals to prepare for a pandemic. to prepare for the oncoming crush. oh, this has done horrible things for elective surgeries. and i saw

joining us now nbc and msnbc national affairs analyst john heilemann. that article about the getaway car and disguising the vehicle as a food service truck. that's about masks and protective gear. what's happening? >> john has frozen on us. jonathan, the president's statements at these press conferences that the states are getting what they need day after day. the report last night posted in the "the new york times" the extraordinary measures that hospitals in massachusetts are taking. why can't they just can't, we're trying to be responsive, if there's a better job to do we'll do it. >> well, first of all, let me say there are moments where i prefer a frozen john. you're right, nicolle, in terms day after day it seems this president is undercut from what he says at the briefing versus what is truly reality. i mean, that's a gripping account what you read there about the masks. governor of maryland has done this test to justify why he had to step outside the federal government channels to obtain these masks and these are not things that are being done be

you know, we'll follow up on that, and john heilemann, i personally think we should be covering theserences daily on a national level, to get a sense of what's going on in the states. generalisticly, i want to ask about that, opposed to covering the president's daily briefings that he's really turned into something else, much of the time during them. let's turn right now to pulitzer prize-winning health and science writer laurie garrett. she's the author of the book "the coming plague, newly emerging diseases in a world out of balance." wrote the cover story for the may issue of "the new republic," entitled "contagion." first of all, your book, timely. and your article, absolutely on point, laurie. my question to you is, let's back up. given your expertise, let's look at what the guidelines are that the president is giving, what the information that the president is giving. number one, is there any way out of this without national, uniform testing? and have you heard any type of timeline as to when that's happening? then down to the brass tornadi s -- tacks of it, is 30 days to slow t
