apparently texas republican congressman louie gohmert was also advised that he had had direct contact with a person positive for coronavirus at that same conference. but gohmert has decided he does not feel like quarantining himself, so he will not. he may now be at risk for contracting it because he was in direct contact with somebody who has it. he's not at risk himself, if in fact he gets coronavirus, whether or not he's symptomatic, congressman gohmert may end up being a vector of infection to other people. nevertheless, he does not care. he is not quarantining, which tells you something about what he thinks about his staff and his family and his neighbors and the people who shop at the same grocery store with him or pass him on the street on a regular basis. we also learned late tonight that the president's brand-new chief of staff, who is replacing mick mulvaney, republican congressman named mark meadows, he's also in quarantine. he came into contact with that same person at that same conservative conference who tested positive for coronavirus. unlike congressman louie gohmert,

one republican who has refused to self-quarantine is texas representative louie gohmert, seen here snorting. ( laughter ) gohmert also came in contact with the coronavirus patient at cpac, but he has declined to self-isolate after a physician said he could return to work if he observed "proper hygiene protocols." sounds okay, but yesterday, rather than limit non-essential interactions, gohmert chose instead to lead a large group of children around the capitol that consisted of well over 100 kids. ( as gohmert ) disease vectors! you know the expression 'children are our future'? well, we're gonna test that theory today! okay, high-five! high-five! come on." ( cheers and applause ) at the economic press conference, reporters asked mike pence about whether trump has been tested. >> reporter: has the president been tested? sir, he's been in contact with people who were in proximity to somebody who had the virus. >> let me be sure to get you an answer to that. i honestly don't know the answer to the question. >> stephen: (as pence) "we don't know the answer to that question, because we keep putt

but before he learned of his exposure, he boarded air force one today with the president louie gohmert, a rapturous trump warned he may have been exposed at cpac, but he's decided not to self-quarantine and return to washington instead. the incoming white house chief of staff, north carolina congressman mark meadows, says he's tested negative for coronavirus but says he'll stay in quarantine until wednesday because he's learned he was also in contact with the infected person at cpac. tonight white house reporters asked the vice president if the president's been tested. >> has the president been tested? he's been in contact with people who were in proximity to somebody who had the virus. >> let me be sure and get you an answer to that. i honestly don't know the answer. >> not long ago tonight, the white house did provide an answer. the press secretary issued a statement that reads in part, r because he has neither had prolonged close contact with any knowcoir president trump remains in excellent health, and his physician will continue to closely monitor him. former white house chief of

another republican lawmaker, congressman louie gohmert, said he was warned he may have been exposed at cpac but has decided not to self-quarantine and returned to washington, d.c. instead. the ultimate example of making light of the situation, of course, was florida congressman matt gaetz who apparently thought it would be really funny to show up to congress wearing a giant gas mask as the house voted on coronavirus funding. well, today, congressman gaetz was informed he too had come into contact with the cpac attendee who has the coronavirus. gaetz is being tested for the virus, he is also under self-quarantine. today before he learned of his exposure travelled on air force one with the president after attending a party at mar-a-lago, according to "the new york times." gaetz learned after air force one lifted off from orlando he had been in touch with an infected person at cpac. he then essentially -quarantineg on a section of the plane alone. one of his constituents had died from the coronavirus. conservatives built an extremely powerful alternate reality machine. they use it to coun

congressman louie gohmert was told he was also in contact with the person at cpac. mccarthy says tonight he would advise gohmert to consult a doctor. all that at cpac. well, you remember now-exacting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney said this. >> i think this is what's going to be what brings down the president. that's what this is all about. >> that's not what this is all about. not at all. the coronavirus doesn't care if you are a democrat or a republican. democratic congresswoman julia brownly of california says she has learned that someone she met with last week has tested positive for coronavirus. she and her staff are working remotely. like i said, this virus doesn't care if you are a democrat or republican. we're all in this together. and what we need are the facts. let's not forget it was just three days ago that the administration was trying to tell you everything's fine. nothing to see here. buy stocks. the virus is contained. >> but i what i am pleased to r is that the 14 deaths so far, that are completely tragic and very sad, in this country, sho

including incoming chief of staff mark meadows, ted cruz, doug collins, paul gosar, louie gohmert andall are voluntarily self-quarantining except gohmert who continues his string of setting a great example for all americans while being held at arm's length by his colleagues. but matt gaetz deserves some digging into. last week he wore a gas mask on the house floor during the vote to combat the coronavirus. the stunt seemed less funny two days later when one of his constituents died. gaetz was on air force one when he found out he had come into contact with the coronavirus carrier. he already spent much of the weekend at mar-a-lago, glad handing with the president and his family. the white house says trump has not been tested, but this is thankfully one case where trump's hand sanitizer habits should come in very handy. we hope everyone at the white house and congress remains safe. president's predilection for clean hands doesn't always extent to his state of mind. while the stock market was in free fall, he was tweeting about obama, fake news, the deep state and the democratic primary

understand today, it's still a little bit of a circus to put it mildly with threats from the likes of louie gohmert to stop a bill and tom cotton expressing reservations, senator scott had stuff to say as well. point is, there's a lot of back and forth and little agreement on a timetable on what they will move forward with and what's actually going to be there at the end of what might be phase one of a multi-step stimulus. neil: i just want to dip into this, if we can. pentagon briefing on just how they are handling this and the effect of the coronavirus that has now led to a lot of changes not only in american life but across the world. >> -- about the changes happening in the department impacting our service members. i will give a few updates, then we will take some of your questions. first i want to start with the latest dod coronavirus numbers. as of 0500 today, there have been 37 reported cases, 18 military, 13 dependents, three civilian, three contractors. we are continuing to monitor the situation and will provide updates each day as we receive them. as you know, on friday, the deputy secret

louie gohmert, and some of the discussion that he had, i would pick up at the beginning here, mr. speaker, with one of the places where he left off. and that is what happened before the united states supreme court yesterday and the statements that were made by the minority leader of the united states senate. i may have a bit of a different perspective than some in this house or senate or across this land. but here is the language that was deemed offensive. from senator schumer. he said, and watched the video. and he pointed at the united states supreme court and he used the names of two supreme court justices and he said this, i want to tell you, gorsuch, i want to tell you, kavanaugh, you have released the whirl wind and you will pay the price. you don't know what hit -- you won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions, closed quote. that was stunning. stunning to hear two justices called out in that fashion before the supreme court. and i know that there was a crowd over there that was happy to hear those words. but as a constitutionalist and former chair

minutes later, louie gohmert of texas, one of the 40 republicans to vote no on the bill dropped his objectionnd corrections were adopted by unanimous consent. ofer it held out for much the day yesterday, arguing he had not seen what the fixes were. mitch mcconnell yesterday on the senate floor as they came into session said this package was just the beginning of the response to the coronavirus. [video clip] >> senate republicans are convinced the senate bill can only be the beginning of congress efforts to secure our economy and support american families. challengeunique unlike in any other tough circumstances, our short-term goal is not to bring economic activity back to normal starting tomorrow. our task is to secure the historically strong foundation economy andn's support americans went public health may require some normal activities simply be scaled back. i have spoken with colleagues and committee chairman. we agree there are three major areas where the senate must continue to develop bold and bipartisan action. number one, we will need to take further steps to assist individual americ
