and kirsten gillibrand talked about some of the most vulnerable people, it is a very dangerous time forple in abusive marriages or children in danger. but the psychological blows for everybody are universally felt when the olympics are canceled, when you learn that tom hanks and rita wilson have contracted the disease, when all sports ends and when prince charles tests positive. >> there is no question about the magnitude of the event. this is the most significant event that has happened to the american people since at least world war ii. and unlike world war ii, american life didn't stop. it was reordered. this has led to a cessation of theater, of music, of concerts, of sports, of economic activity really of any and all type. we have more than half the country under governmental orders stay in their homes. the economic situation is likely to be calamitous when you see estimates that show 20, as high as 30% unemployment rates, so this is a seismic event in american life. it will also see obviously when we look at the death totals rising, we're going to see calamitous numbers in terms o

kirsten gillibrand, thank you from new york.he johns hopkins map, as we do know a lot of data points we will show you that tell us an interesting story. dr. william shatner is back from vanderbilt university, i know you are listening at your office in tennessee. if i could come a doctor come i know you've examined as much as we do. and i just want to go through a scenario here, a trend i'm picking up on. then i will bounce it off of you. so here we are up over half a million, 500,000 around the world. this is what i see today my c120000 recovered, and i don't think we emphasize that enough. there are people that recover from this. here in china i'm key on this number too. you have 82,000 cases, dr. but you have a recovery number 74,000 which means we can debate whether we trust the numbers from the chinese government, but you are about 7500 cases in china today. i find that very interesting. in the u.s. 76,000 where 1,000 have died as a result. i will show you a few more things, sir. this is the total test of a conducted u.s. th

we'll get the views of kirsten gillibrand, next. >>> new york governor cuomo insisting his state willot have enough ventilators and getting that vital equipment is his state's single greatest challenge. >> right now, what we're looking at is about 140,000 cases coming into the hospitals. hospital capacity's 53,000 beds. that's a problem. we're looking at about 40,000 icu cases coming into the hospitals. we have about 3,000 icu beds. that's a challenge. what is an icu bed for these purposes? basically, a bed with a ventilator. the ventilator is the most critical piece of equipment for an intensive care unit bed. because this is a respiratory illness and people need more ventilation than usual. >> new york democratic senator kirsten gillibrand is with me now from capitol hill. senator, good to see you. obviously wish it was a different circumstance. when you hear your governor make this urgent appeal, what can you do? what can be done here in washington to move the powers that are necessary to get new york what it needs before it's too late? >> well, right now we care most about the hea

senator kirsten gillibrand of new york. thank you for making time for us there. is many, many important things going on in your state and around the country, but it would seem that what has been revealed here underscores the need not only for what you fought for in disclosing this, but going further and preventing it. walk us through your view of this tonight. >> so obviously it raise as huge red flag. the purpose of the stock act was so that members of congress could not trade on nonpublic information that they received in the course of doing their job. obviously, the facts surrounding the trades by these two senators are deeply concerning. they were privy to nonpublic information far earlier than the typical american constituent, and it's concerning that they acted on that information and made trades that made them money. i think it needs to be investigated. it has to be thoroughly investigated. it should be investigated by the department of justice to see if insider trading in fact did take place. >> can congress simply ban any individual trading by its member

. >>> joining me is senator kirsten gillibrand of new york, presidential candidate as you recall. she has said the senate plan, short changes -- senator, it is good to talk to you. not under the best of circumstances. let's talk a little about the plan that our viewers may not know what it was that has been proposed. the problem that a lot of people have or at least that i have with this plan is that it is weak on stock buy back language. i think it has to be pretty clear that if any company gets taxpayer money, they cannot use it or should not be able to use it for stock buy backs or for dividend pay outs. it does not deal with executive compensation limits and that should be an absolute. the average c.e.o. in america earns 220 times what the average worker earns. i don't think taxpayers have any interest in their money going to assist companies that are going to reward those executives. there are no assurances that workers will benefit from these programs so there may be bail outs given to companies that continue to layoff workers or do not hire them back when they become profit

. >> all right, new york senator kirsten gillibrand.hank you so much for your time. >>> beginning tonight, we'll have an inside look at the coronavirus pandemic and the medical challenges we're facing in this country. watch the latest, life in the time of coronavirus, tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern only on msnbc. like the senator just mentioned, you see it there, live pictures of the naval hospital ship in new york harbor about to make its way up the hudson to dock on the west side of this city. plus, experts say aggressive screening for covid-19 could have helped contain the coronavirus in the united states. we're going to talk to the former head of the cdc that says robust government testing happened far too late and the response coordinator calling on mayors to prepare now. we're going to talk to the mayors of boston and jackson, mississippi, coming up. >> we're very worried about every city in the united states and the potential for this virus to get out of control. >>> so with the president's coronavirus task force telling americans

in a moment kirsten gillibrand joins me.of miracles, this was the national cathedral being used as georgetown university hospital, we will have that story at the top of the hour. >> we want to be there for our communities and our neighbors. if the larger supply chains break down, we are going to be here. >> dana: the coronavirus aid package has billions of dollars set aside for farmers. joining me now these executive vice president of the american farm bureau federation. we go way back and it's great to see you. i noticed in the statement that the farm bureau put out that -- about the bill that passed, farmers and ranchers will not let americans down. and tell me a little bit more about how the virus is affecting farmers. >> you know this well, farmers and ranchers across this count country, we had the privilege of working for neighbors, the hard work they put out, you have probably seen this on youtube and elsewhere, my boss, current boss said empty shelves are frightening to our customers, consumers and neighbors across th

joining me now is the junior senator from new york, democrat kirsten gillibrand. let me start right there. new york is ground zero. are you pleased with how new york is handling the crisis thus far? >> yes, i think our governors and mayors have been doing an outstanding job around the state. they are trying to help our hospitals be able to have overflow beds. we are turning the javits center into a field hospital. they are opening two additional field hospitals as well as having the "u.s. comfort" dock to take noncovid patients. >> you heard the president might call for a tristate quarter teen, new york, connecticut and new jersey. what would be your reaction to that? >> i don't think we should be taking any health advice from president trump. he's been wrong with this from the beginning. he continues to mislead the american public. i would wait for the health professionals to make those kinds of decisions and then we will absolutely abide by whatever is recommended. but i do believe new yorkers and those in the tristate area are understanding what it means to sta

joining me now, democratic senator kirsten gillibrand of new york. senator gillibrand, thanks for being here amid another very difficult night of news for your state. i just want to start by asking you about the president's news conference. and my colleague ali velshi mentioned he made this claim that there seemed to be masks that are disappearing from new york, perhaps out a back door, he suggested. we want to make sure he pointed out he suggested this without any evidence. we are, of course, working to fact check those claims. but yi was hoping to get your response to what the president had to say along those lines. >> i think his allegations about new york hospitals were beyond absurd. i talk to most of our hospital heads throughout new york city and the state and i can tell you their hospital personnel are the heroes of this moment. they are working 24/7 to save lives. they're begging for ventilators, masks, gowns, supplies. i have one of the suny schools making masks for an upstate hospital because they were out of masks several days ago. for pr

to do that at some point, it will be because of kamala and elizabeth, shirley chisholm and kirsten gillibrand and amy klobuchar and others who tried to reach the same post, hillary clinton for sure. it'll also be because of the all the thousands of women and men who stood behind these candidates and gave their all every single day if many times more than a year, for hillary clinton about two years, to try to make that goal a reality. because each one of us tried to chip away a bit at that glass ceiling. >> and lily, i'm glad you mentioned hillary clinton's campaign especially since you worked on it, but i kind of delivered a sort of depressing tweet about this today and about, you know, no country for old men. it seems like it is a country for old men. it's no country for women presidential candidates and someone reminded me, wait, hillary clinton got more votes than donald trump. that's the part we often lose sight of in this discussion. four years ago the woman candidate for president did get the most votes. >> yeah, you're certainly right. and, you know, again, to quote senator elizabeth w

. >> just this afternoon, new york senators chuck schumer and kirsten gillibrand sent a letter to the cdc and fda asking to give local hospitals the authority to run their own tests. with us now is dr. siyra madad,a specialist, recently featured in a netflix documentary about pandemics. doctor, great to have you here. is there a threat to individuals if they can't get tested? >> across the nation, as we know, diagnostic testing is ramping up, and how much this is going top ramp up by the end of the week, obviously, it's one of the guesses that is out there. but certainly, in terms of preparedness, there's a lot going on the national front. health care systems are ramping up for this situation. a lot of localities are taking a blended approach from containment and mission, so it's one of those things that we're just seeing how things play out over time. >> so, if people can't get tested, though, what does that mean for the rest of us? >> so, we want to obviously increase testing as much as possible to be able to detect, you know, individuals that may have coronavirus disease, but at th

did not vote that way for elizabeth warren or amy klobuchar and others like kamala harris and kirsten gillibrandnne williamson. they didn't even make it to the primaries. are you surprised? >> i am not surprised, but there's a clue in a cnn/university of new hampshire poll that you all did, where it talked about elizabeth warren and kamala harris. and the poll gave them very strong marks on -- their favorables. 67% for warren and 50%-something yet, when those same voters who were asked, do you like them, elizabeth warren was down on 5% and kamala harris 6%. so, there's a likability factor here that i don't think we have really heard from american voters explaining, what is it? why do you have a favorable position but then you don't like the person well enough to actually vote for them? it's a mystery now. >> right. and somebody who knows a lot about that is hillary clinton, right? and how she had to deal with that same issue. and she's talking about it in a new docuseries. let's listen to this clip. >> everybody has a motivation. the motivation can be petty, it can be ideological. in my case, it

the nomination and neither can kamala harris and neither can amy klobuchar and neither can kirsten gillibrand, i mean, i think part of what's going on today is women around the country are like, okay, honestly, you know, if it's not going to be any of them, let's get real. is it just that it can't be any woman ever? are we just going to run, you know, white men in their late 70s against each other, both parties, and that's all we can agree to do? i think there's a feeling that your campaign ending is very specific to you and it also feels a little bit like a death knell in terms of the prospects of having a woman for president in our lifetimes. >> oh, god, please no. that can't be right. >> you know what i'm talking about. the feelings. >> i know exactly what you're talking about. i know exactly what you're talking about. this cannot be the right answer. and part of the way i know it is not the right answer is that i walked through my headquarters today and i saw all those strong, powerful, women. i saw all those women who said, thank you for standing up to michael bloomberg. i saw all those

this is something that was sought by both of new york's senators, chuck schumer and kirsten gillibrandthe expectation that this federal major, the disaster declaration, will open up more lines of money and aid for new york. as the state struggles already with the initial large influx of hospital patients and intensive care patients. tonight in washington state, governor jay inslee is also asking the president to declare a federal major disaster in his state as well. again, to help them deal with the spiraling crisis of the coronavirus epidemic. the governor's request comes as king county washington, which includes seattle, now reports a total of 793 confirmed cases, that's up 100 from yesterday. king county is also now confirming 67 deaths, and seven deaths confirmed in the past 24 hours. regardless of what the federal government ends up offering, a hard-hit community like king county, washington, local officials there have not been waiting around for help. chief among the early identified needs in king county is having enough room in the hospitals there, preserving hospital beds, so s

there was kamala harris, amy klobuchar, kirsten gillibrand. better term were considered more moderate candidates. they weren't huge, big medicare for all, with the exception of elizabeth warren. then if you drill into her base, andrea, you look at a lot of her support came from suburban college educated white women. those are the same demographics that was the least enthusiastic about bernie sanders. if you looked at head-to-heads in abc's news polling, for instance, bernie sanders was the worst against donald trump with that demographic. so elizabeth warren, that is engineered to be a little more supportive if you just look at the numbers. so sam's point, even if bernie did pull out a win here in michigan, then you're looking at other huge delegate-rich states like florida, where he has another unique set of challenges, where the inroads he's made for instance with latino voters do not serve him well. if you look at the polling there, he's got a huge deficit as well. if he did pull out a surprise in michigan, it would have to be pretty big in

senator elizabeth warren suspending her campaign following the departures of kirsten gillibrand, kamalaris, and amy klobuchar. tulsi gabbard is still running but for all intents the race for the white house is down to two white men in their 70s vowing to challenge another white man in his 70s. we're past the point of laughing when a woman says she wants to be president. but if we're not there anymore, where are we now? joining us, maria teresa kumar. thank you for joining us tonight. what are your thoughts on this? we have had a woman win the nomination of the democratic party, run for president, get more votes than the current president, and then we've had several women vie for the nomination this time around. what's your sense of where we are? >> let's remind the american people that the last time a woman headed the democratic nomination of a major party, she won. hillary clinton won 3 million more votes than trump, and now that we're seeing a lot of this other evidence of whether or not he won fair and square, that leaves it for us to remind ourselves that anything is possible in ame

a woman of the significance of an elizabeth warren or kamala harris or amy klobuchar, kirsten gillibrandany of the women who have been in the race before. with those senate kcredentials, the person who started up a major agency on the financial crisis and mortgage equity and all that. compare to the men who still remain in this race. >> well, i think -- we covered the hillary clinton campaign together too and the path-breaking nomination of a female major party candidate and, you know, i think the big question this year was, would another woman be able to repeat that or was the democratic party going to be leery of nominating another woman. obviously elizabeth warren was the main person we were all watching from the beginning. she was at one time considered to be a potential challenger to hillary clinton and that did not materialize. she was the threat to beat among other women candidates from the beginning. and she lasted the longest. there's been a lot of discussion today that the glass ceiling is intact and i think that will be one of the major interpretations of elizabeth warren's ca

new york senator kirsten gillibrand says the money in this bill is essentially a down payment. >> what this bill does is a triage bill to help the most at-risk, at-need, urgent issues. it is not the full story. more money will be coming to our state. there will be a fourth bill, probably a fifth bill, probably a sixth bill. >> despite the criticism, the markets are doing okay right now. pretty happy with this deal. 6%, 1,200 points. this is after a massive gain just yesterday. we're in the final hours of trading. i will keep you posted as i always do. all major markets right now are up. we have seen remarkable improvements in the market in the last couple days. let's begin with the very latest on the senate relief package right now. msnbc's garrett haake joins us now from capitol hill. garrett, there have been a number of things in the last couple of days that have raised some flags. this one is with republican senators, something they're saying is a drafting error. what are they talking about? >> reporter: ali, this is an enormously complicated bill with a lot of money in play. republ

biden picked up in an endorsement from kirsten gillibrand, his ability to empathize and feel the countries is essential right now. at senator elizabeth warren has yet to endorse either joe biden or bernie sanders despite tuesday's primary losses in a growing delegate gap. >> this is it a question about not being confident in leadership. my position on this has been clear. all of us who ran for president would make a much better president than donald trump. >> shannon: there are reports tonight that the coronavirus is frustrating hopes to use the campaign war chest to attack joe biden right now. they are at shelving and he plans to directly take on biden, the response to the coronavirus has pushed the whole election off page. that is 2020 and 60 seconds. some positive developments in the fight against covid-19, stick around.

. >> meanwhile new york senators schumer and kirsten gillibrand are touting an stemless package but theovernor and mayor of new york are fuming over the bill. they are single men provides new york state a fraction of its budget. numbers from the governor's office showed less than 2% of the budget while states like wyoming will get 17% of its budget even though wyoming has just 40 cases and new york has about 800 times as many with the mayor blaming the senate majority leader. >> here's the truth. it was the majority leader of the u.s. senate, mitch mcconnell, who stood in the way of real aid to new york city and new york state. that is just a fact. we know from all the negotiations that played out in recent days, that all the other parties were willing to do more to support direct aid to new york city, direct aid to new york state to keep our governments functioning at their current level. >> and the city's death toll is rising fast enough that the medical examiner's office is building a makeshift morgue, refrigerated trailers to provide extra emergency capacity while authorities contin

in 2020 walking out of her home and acknowledging what amy klobuchar and kamala harris and kirsten gillibrandr, there is not a path for a woman to be the nominee for president. it was gut wrenching, and it was more painful than i thought it would be. my own daughter bella who's 10 told me, mom, she's not going to win because people aren't going to vote for her. i said she would win if people vote for her. so the fact that i'm having this dialogue with my own 10-year-old child on super tuesday as i voted for elizabeth warren and then to see her quit the race, it was very, very disappointing and all i can say is i think that if she were a man so well prepared, so well versed, so smart, i think that she would still be in this race, and she would have had more votes. we have a sexism and racism problem in this country that we're going to need to get over. and at a minimum, i'm using my dnc super delegate vote to demand that my first round vice president vote will be for a strong woman. >> christina i was looking at twitter after this happened, a lot of folks who supported senator elizabeth warren

when i think back to the first democratic debate, way back in june, people like -- castro, kirsten gillibrandokay hackio's new deal -- ocasio's new deal and joe biden to defend barack obama's care. stuart: far left actually dominate it is culture. >> they do. stuart: you agree with that? >> i do. look, joe biden's performance in virginia and massachusetts where he carried the black vote and suburban vote should have been a wake-up call six months ago to people like kamala harris and cory booker but fascinating how deeply they are influenced by social media. stuart: we should not forget that aoc tried to do a squad 2.0. she failed 3 young women progressives, two in texas and one in california. they didn't win. you want to call them the progressives, that's what they call themselves. they bombed as well. >> yeah, that was the implication of congressman's jim clyburnes endorsement at the 11th hour. moderate democrats who flipped republican seats in 2018 and for the last 6 months like through the whole impeachment thing those moderate house democrats have been saying we are really nervous about g
