mary jane, what's the latest you're learning from the infrastructure, from those on the ground?torm is everything they said it would be. it is absolutely catastrophic. and the american red cross has been planning for this for quite some time. in fact, we plan with our partners all year long. for the past week to two weeks, we have been deploying volunteers, and we have more than 600 up and down the gulf coast on the east side of texas and louisiana. they are partnering with local officials, and with local organizations to support the shelters the best they can. and we even have more folks on stand by with cots and blankets and other supplies, including ppe, to make people comfortable. >> mary jane, it's tough. you have a lot of resources, you're very well organized. everybody knows the american red cross. but you've got a hurricane that can go one way or the other. i don't know whether you thought cameron, louisiana was one way or it was the other. but when did you make the decision internally, okay, let's shift, it's not going towards beaumont, instead it's moving towards camer

we heard mary jane blige at the end and divine nine. that's certainly something many folks never thought they would see in their lifetime. we witnessed a new history and as alexi said, a new normal. i think what democrats are trying to express here s look, we wouldn't be in quite as dire a situation if this person we're trying to beat weren't in the white house, but we're going to move forward anyway. they're trying to get people to hear with forcefulness despite circumstances because that's what we'll need them to do in november. so i think we certainly saw a very clear-eyed orientation toward that. and lastly, i think, especially from senator harris, we saw a reframing of this conversation to be about more than just what we're dealing with now, but about looking toward the future. when senator harris say this virus has no eyes, yet it knows exactly how we see each other, i found myself completely comp compelled and convicted not just with how trump has dealt with this virus, but all the work that has to be done moving into the future
