but libby, i want to go right to you as a reporter, you've been in this spot before.ews about people in the white house from the president on down getting covid. your thoughts tonight? >> the timeline when we find out this information and when reporters are trying to fair out who has it. we're wondering if rudy giuliani might have covid but we see a trump attorney saying jenna ellis, she and rudy giuliani are negative but a lot of times we're taking their word for it. i just covered the oldest member of the house, don young of alaska got it and his office acted like reporters were interfering or breaking a sacred boundary asking basic questions about his health. he's the oldest serving member of congress. he's out of the hospital but was in the hospital for three days and there was a news blackout period. there is a question how much transparency lawmakers need to have with not just the diagnosis but then of course, we go back and look at how these people are behaving, where are they standing? like andrew giuliani at the back of a crowded room not wearing a mask. so w

to believe that we will be getting that package at least by january or february if not sooner. >> libby, i want to pick up on that and ask you, is there any chance you think we could get a covid package during the lame duck session, especially as the outbreak worsens >> good afternoon, kelly i really think that in terms of the potential of a covid relief package and lame duck, it really depends on the election results. if we get a status quo election, president donald trump gets reelected and the composition of congress says the same, then, yes, there is a good chance we could see some movement in the lame duck session. if, however, we get joe biden to win -- to win the white house and then we have a democratic sweep and it is very likely that we won't see action until january. so very sort of dependent on the election outcome if joe biden wins, probably we won't see that until that come january or february time frame >> that was a very suave silencing of the phone om i'm impressed. >> what are the the odds we get some sort of stimulus factor we've talked about the fed, about the stimul

tonight and turn to our experts from the center of american progress and democratic strategists and libby casey with the washington post. daniel, your thoughts on the above? >> you know, trump is continuing his record of acting like a giant baby and republicans are showing again that they have no courage and no backbone to publicly say what is right and what is obvious that joe biden is the president elect and that donald trump needs to do the right thing and do what has been happening for decades and start the smooth transition of power. there is danger the longer they delay this for the incoming administration. i know trump doesn't care about this but republicans that claim to care about governance should be doing something. >> do you think that the intel briefings have takenimportant substantively, they have taken a larger role? >> exactly. it's a way for them to signal i'm not really with trump, i'm saying that he should get the intelligence briefing but honestly, it's not enough because trump supporters need to hear his message loud and clear, not things that all of us right now unde
