jake. >> dab dan simon in pacific palisades california. joining us now, kathleen sebelius and the former governor of the great state of kansas. secretary, thank you for joining us. i want to get your reaction to the new study that said the death counts in the united states might actually be 28% higher than the nation's official number. what do you make of that? >> well, i think that is probably pretty accurate. we see death counts often be adjusted at the end of every flu season. people go back and look at why somebody may have died during this period of time and then it is a tributable after the fact to flu. covid was new. people weren't carefully identifying or testing at the very beginning and even in the months of may. we only tested people who really thought they had covid and were on the way to the hospital. so it doesn't surprise me that whether it is nursing homes or some other incident that happened that a death was not directly attributable to covid and after the fact will be reanalyzed and doctors and scientists will again ident

joining me from pacific palisades, california, california seemed to have a handle on this. they were early to do shutdowns and stay at home orders and they reopened and they attribute this to reopening, i imagine? >> reporter: that's exactly right, jim. governor newsom likening his options to a dimmer swipgz whtc he may dial back the reopening of some aspects of the economy. we don't know exactly what he is planning to do. i can't tell you that the beaches in los angeles county will be closed over the fourth of july weekend. might we see that in other parts of the state. he did express concern about family gatherings that were taki taking place over the holiday, but we did speak to one leading doctor. in a series of tweets, the miracle is now over that when you did have memorial day weekend take place and there was a lot of community spread particularly among young people and now the question is what might the state do to get things back on track. jim? >> dan simon in california, thanks very much. let's speak now to the mayor of palm beach county, florida. mayor, we appreci

let's go there, cnn's dan simon is in pacific palisades and joining me right now. dan, what are you hearing? >> well, we don't know what the governor is going to announce, but there is a sense that he has to do something dramatic to get the state back on track. in l.a. county all of the beaches will be closed and no fireworks either. could we see something more like that throughout the state or could it be something more significant in terms of closing down the economy once again? governor newsom has likened it to a toggle switch. he is expected to have a press conference around noon time so we get a better sense of what he is expected to say, but i can tell you that one of the leading doctors in the state, dr. robert wachter, and he says that california's miracle is effectively over and that basically what happens around the memorial day weekend when the economy started to reopen people got complacent and people stopped wearing their mask and we saw the community spread particularly among young people and what the governor plans to do today, we'll be watching it v

joining me now from pacific palisades, california, cnn's dan simon. so dan, you know, california acted early. they seemed to get a lid on this, they reopened and now cases are coming up again. how aggressively is california acting now? >> well, jim, you're right. california earned wide praise for taking that proactive measure with shutting the economy down and it seemed to work. the state seemed to flatten the curve but now there's increasing alarm in terms of the surge of cases that we are now seeing. one leading doctor in the state, dr. robert wachter, says that california's miracle is essentially over. over memorial day weekend when the state started to reopen a bit, there was a spirit of complacency that took over and now we are seeing, you know, the surge of cases. what governor newsom plans to announce today is critically important in terms of stemming the tide. there is a broad consensus that he has to do something fairly dramatic. i can tell you that the beaches will be closed throughout los angeles county over the weekend, over 4th of july we

cnn's dan simon is live in pacific palisades, california, and dan, what's the plan? >> reporter: well, governor newsom says he has a toggle switch and it can go up or down. we don't know what he is going to announce today but there's a sense it needs to be significant, because california did flatten the curve, but things have clearly gotten out of control. yesterday we saw the second highest tally since the pandemic began. when it comes to cases. as you said, brooke, the beaches will be closed over the fourth of july weekend. normally the beaches here would be packed. they will be closed to avoid large gatherings, no fireworks either. might the governor extend that throughout the entire state? we have to wait and see. could it impact restaurants? who knows. a lot of speculation in terms of what the governor will do. i can tell you one leading doctor in the state, dr. robert walker chairs the ucsf department of medicine says the california miracle is clearly over. he says basically when things began to open up during memorial day weekend people got complacent. stopped

>>host: we have a text from pacific palisades california. i thoroughly enjoyed reading your book the great debate in political philosophy last fall that open the door for me and human nature him institutional roles, hereditary politics , and when to make reforms. how can we eliminate unhealthy populism from the republic on the left and right and get the general public to trust career politicians who i believe have the experience and wisdom that burke outlined. >> thank you very much for that first of all it's nice to hear that book is assigned in college classes and especially someone who benefited from that are got something out of it. i think the question of populism in some ways has always been the core question of american political life which is very much alive in contemporary politics now is the condition of our institution. we don't really face a choice between the early and populism and the view that the people have all the answers and should be empowered directly and that the elites have all the answers and they should have the powe

and she was used to the cool breezes of pacific palisades, and sacramento gets very hot in the summerd mostly she hated the sacramento bee, which was the dominant newspaper and a very democratic newspaper. they were relentless in their criticism of reagan. and she finally stopped -- she canceled the subscription and told people about this. and reagan would pull people and say, "it's okay, i get it at the office." and so -- and he did. he read it in his office. i think of the sacramento years in a way actually of the time reagan took care of her, the same way she took care of him in washington. i think in those years, she was little bit brittle. joan didion wrote a piece for the saturday evening post, a very harsh story, and basically made fun of the gaze -- you know, we all talked about that adoring look that she gave reagan. and joan thought it was phony. and, you know, we learned over the years, that's what it wasn't, is phony. it might have annoyed you, but it was genuine. and she developed -- and she felt picked on, and reagan protected her in this time. you've mentioned the staff

this is from maxwell palisades california. i thoroughly enjoyed reading your book, the great debate and the political philosophy class last fall. it opens the door for me on human nature, institutional roles, hereditary politics and when to make reform. my question for you is how we can eliminate on the healthy populism on both the left and right and get the general public to trust the politicians who i believe and the experience and wisdom outlined. >> guest: thank you. it's always nice to hear the book being assigned to college classes and especially gratifying to hear from someone who benefited from that or got something out of it. and you know, i think that the question of populism which in some ways has always been a core question in the political life but of course it is very much alive in our contemporary politics now. there's one way to think about the condition of the institution. i think that we don't really taste the choice between the elitism and populism, between the view that the people have all the answers and t
