we are in the middle of a wonderful conversation with ivana kaufman, the executive director of theof color film initiative. we were talking a lot about the complexity of race and use of color in the jewish community. that whole big landscape. i'm wondering if we think about it as a tactic, why choose philanthropy and the initiative as a philanthropic fund to in some ways articulate our mission and, hopefully, we form change. >> what a great question. when we think about the pathways to leadership in a national communal ecosystem, when we think about the pathways to being able to create programs, to be able to match policies with the people we are trying to serve there has to be some organizational vehicle to make all of that happened. in our national ecosystem, like many other major fields and ecosystems, one of the vehicles is philanthropy, which is like giving community resources to leaders to programs, to different vehicles to great change and to create programs, policies, organizations that support the work of the field. in this case, there are almost no communal leadership pathw

kory kaufman is joining me. you got to mix the good news and the bad. >> reporter: a little bit of both. there's the light at the end of the tunnel that we have been talking about. and now this is the first real sign that possibly we're getting beyond that plateau. some medical workers droibing it as a breath of air because these admissions into the hospital are now down. as you mentioned, still very high. about 2,000 a day. but the death rate is off of what its peak was. overnight yesterday, we saw 540 deaths. that is down from the peak between 750 to 800 souls lost daily that we saw last week. listen in on what he had to say. >> if you lock at the past three days, you could argue that we are past the plateau and we're starting to descend. >> the hospital is still full. and still running at max capacity. but the emergency department is definitely a little less cob jessicaed. let's hope it stays this way. >> reporter: that's right. let's hope it continues to go down. icu admissions are also down. intubations are

policy it is immigration and there is a book that i recommend it might sound like the a title but eric kaufman is the author and the single biggest cause of the rise of populism particularly in europe of past migration and the fact this is causing a feeling that traditional majorities will no longer be majorities. and that encourages the rise. and that continue to be migration from africa. and with the coming century and if that's true and i think it is what the governments decide to do about it. and those parties are not going away with those underlying factors. they tend to be much more skeptical. and with that national sovereignty. in which was interesting. and with immigration and what is interesting. otherwise and you are not pro- putin with with a conservative. and of course we will have combinations. and there is such a thing. and there is such an american nation. and the nation state. but nevertheless the state of the nation. and that america tends to be bottom-up. and historically the american nation state. and with the us civil war. and the united states. multiple. it was a single un

corey kaufman is joining us from outside field hospital at new york's javits convention center in midtown manhattan. we have new york's governor who is pushing back a bit on any expectations for a speedy reopening of this state or the city. >> yeah, he is urging patients. he tweeted out last night, talked about it in his press conference as well, saying the last thing he wants to do, even though it is on everyone's mind, even though everyone is clamoring to get the economy rolling again, last thing he wants to do is open things too soon and have a resurgence of cases. he said in his opinion, the last thing as far as the reopening everything goes that he wants to do without going forward with it would be testing. so testing is number one for him to start to get the economy reopen, and after that, he had a call for the federal government to repeal the cap on state and local taxes. >> we need to do more testing and more advanced testing, and we have to do it faster. that's both a diagnostic testing, the antibody testing. you want to help the places that were impacted. i'll tell you what the

it's a very calm -- eric kaufman is the author and suggests the single biggest cause of the rise of populismeurope is the issue of mass migration and this is causing a feeling that traditional ethnic majorities will no longer be majorities and there's no getting around it. that's encouraging the rise of new populist parties on the right. songs the mast migratory movements are not about to expend continue to be migration from africa across the mediterranean in the coming century. so if that's true, and i think it is, that's going force european governments to decide what to do about it. given you already have a large persian of foreign-born population in a lot of european countries. so those parties not goingway, the underlying factors are there. those parties tend to be much more sceptical of the eu. don't want an exit but they tend to be more skeptical. they assert natch sovereignty and they're a little left of center on domestic welfare issues. not necessarily right wing, but on immigration, that is a clear -- that's the top issue i would say, and then foreign policy is interesting because

let's go to cory kaufman joining me from a field center near the elmhurst hospital which was the epicenternew york city's outbreak. so let's talk about what the governor is saying about how the health system is managing through this. >> reporter: with great difficulty, he said. and mentioning those numbers and stabilizing number of deaths coming out of the state of new york, alex, he used the word horrific. it's stabilizing between some 750 to 800 deaths a day. the numbers do go up and they do go down just a little bit. he said hospitalizations are down but the number of admissions to icu are up. now, the reason that he said that actually that might not matter as much today is because the hospitals have really turned most of their beds into icu beds in general. it's not like the traditional demarcation between the normal beds and the icu bedded that we would have thought pre-covid-19 days. here at this facility, they have some 475 beds. they have planned on creating and building constructing by the time this is all done. we do know this is fully operational. they already have at least five
