the treasury secretary and members of the president's economic team, eric who is the liaison between the white house and capitol hill and larry kudlow all out there today trying to sell republican senators on the need to spend all of this money to keep the economy afloat. listen to mnuchin. >> congress right now should be concerned about small businesses. interest rates are incredibly low. there is very little cost at borrowing this money. as i have said, in different times -- this is not the time to worry about it. it is the time that hardworking americans are impacted by government decisions. that's when the government has to step up to put money into the economy. >> detailed nontax deferrals. here it's going to work. the irs will allow a 90 day deferral in taxes owed for an individual up to $1 million. you say, who has a $100 million tax bill? a lot of people that count as individuals even though they are small businesses. corporations will be allowed to defer up to $10 million. the president acknowledging that there is going to be a severe hit to the economy, though he believes i

grips with it, it does mean in the future, espionage is going to be almost entirely done through liaison and partners. maybe will be able to do quick operations for a day or two, but the idea of having people resident in the embassies that are not acknowledged to the locals, i think that is essentially gone. that is one side. the other side is big data. i think that is a great boon for intelligence. it is harder for intelligence because google basically wants treverton is g. going to be tomorrow so they can target me with ads i'm interested in. it's sort of a bounded problems. in intelligence, we're trying to think about certain futures. great thank you. it is a harder and less bounded problem. i think we're making some headway. let me give you a few examples. i started an experiment with a data scientist in my africa account on the premise that there is not a lot of intelligence data about africa. there's also not a lot of big data about africa, but there is data. it was interesting to see what we could find looking at data with a good data scientist. it was pretty impressive. we could,

i just finished a very productive meeting with secretary mnuchin, the white house congressional liaison eric ueland and mark meadows, the president's acting chief of staff. last night i thought we were on the 5 yard line. right now we're on the 2. as i also said last night, at this point of the few outstanding issues, i don't see any that can't be overcome within the next few hours. here are the things we've fighting for, senate democrats, our hospitals, our nursing homes, our community health centers, our whole health care system needs desperately needed dollars. they need them fast and in a very large amount. hospital beds have to expand. expanding capacity is not easy. the need for ventilators, for ppes for the workers, for masks, even as thing as simple as swabs are not always available. and we in new york city and new york state but around the country, hospitals are going to be overwhelmed. our big hospitals, our medium-sized hospitals and small hospitals. in the small and rural hospitals actually face the risk of closing if we don't help them. so we senate democrats have been push

i wanted to assure you all that we have a liaison to the san francisco medical society ensuring that private providers are getting the information they need about testing and how to manage their patients and work with their patients going forward. we're also issuing a health order this afternoon that will ensure that only people who need the most urgent or emergent care will be seen in offices going forward. >> is there specific guidance we're offering to people who are hiv positive in terms of their being a part of a vulnerable population that needs to take specific measures? >> so we don't know how covid-19 interacts with hiv and whether it's additional risk factor, especially for people living with hiv who are suppressed versus people living with hiv who are immunosuppressed. we're following cdc guidance gus and fits into the vulnerable population going for other chronic diseases. >> thank you, director colfax. >> commissioners, if we could move on to the next item, which is the joint conference committee that occurred today. >> we met before this meeting and we got an update from

can be an enormous help in that regard and we're at the level of our economy and they'll be a great liaisont connection >> you know, senator, unfortunately, your state in the last week has gotten a bad look for good reason. a bunch of ding dongs kind of ignoring all of the warnings has that been cleaned up for the rest of the country. can they say people in florida, whatever age or whatever level of intoxication, are taking this seriously now? >> well, look, first of all, these are visitors that we invite to florida every year we want them to come to spring break and stay in hotels, but the hotels are closed now and the beaches are closed as well you can take a stroll on the beach, but you can't gather and have a big party all of that has calmed down. it's unfortunate with the timing with spring break and right as the orders were coming down at the local level and it created very negative imagery. there are a number of high-profile gatherings in new york city and mardi gras in new orleans that are now being linked to outbreaks 14 days later. these folks went back home, wherever it is they'r

for example, he had weekly cabinet meetings and form the office of congressional liaison so that he could have a formal link to the legislative process. this was especially important because throughout the 1950s, the democratic party controlled congress. so eisenhower recognized that to get things done, he needed to have a smooth operation in terms of links with congress. but he also brought this organizational focus to the shifting media environment and transforms the white house into a production studio. to do that, he worked very closely with hollywood figures and madison avenue television executives and advertising companies, to navigate the new, mass medium of television. it ultimately really transformed american political communication during the 1950s. so, the post-world war ii era is a key moment to understand the rise of entertainment, advertising, television and hollywood in american politics, because television really does drastically change the political theme during the 1950s. so the question that i want us to think about today as we study this particular period is, how does
