>> well, just let me start by saying, steven moore, there's no kin, no relationship, to me. let me say that that movement has borrowed heavily from the civil rights movement. i mean e it's very telling they would use an icon of the civil rights movement. they've learned from us. prior to us they just really didn't have any other resources other than money. now they bus loads of people in for the protests. brookfield, wisconsin, where they held the protest yesterday is probably in the county with the largest per capita income in the state. and so they've organized, used money, whatever trump comes in, they send bus loads of people into the venue and they've learned from our civil rights movement. and we have to own that. they learn from us how to do this. >> well, you know, michael harriet, i was tweeting about this yesterday. the ironies are very rich to the point that the congresswoman is making. the nation"national review" mag was founded by william f. buckley, weeks before the montgomery bus boycotts began, right before the arrest of rosa parks. and it was found inherentl

steven moore, he was the guy that the president was going to put on the federal reserve board that had to pull him out of the last minute after he did get a lot of criticism. he's one of many people who's on a list of people who are advising the president on reopening the country. he's really signifying and the statement here of what other people are pressuring the president to do as well. he says these new numbers that came out today should be a wake-up call for the nation's governors. we need to let american businesses open up their doors and allow tens of millions workers back earning a paycheck. if we don't act soon, hundreds of thousands of americans can die from hopelessness. governor cuomo and others extending their deadline how long they're going to keep their states open. this afternoon the president is going to have that call, he's going to preview his guidelines before formally revealing it at his press briefing. a lot remains what it is going to look like. yesterday when he was asked does he want to address those concerns from the business leaders, the president did not ans

but i think it's important for us to understand the role of steven moore a, stephen moore who's on covid advisory policy for president trump has started a new group called save our country, which is all about lobbying for a quick opening of the economy. so we need to be deeply skeptical, kind of investigate, trace the money as it were because what we're seeing, i think is something that's an old phrase that goes all the way back to 1922 and walter litman, we're seeing the manufacturing of consent here. not only through fox news but what president trump is doing with his press conferences. he's trying to in some ways generate a kind of public will to put people at risk, and we need to understand that he's making a choice and that choice is dangerous in its implication. >> and just to underscore your point, the chamber of commerce, the u.s. chamber of commerce financed and helped out the tea party movement in the beginning and you know, this might be a pro-business thing, but it's manifesting as something else when you tell a rightfully elected governor of a state, when you suggest that th

one of the president's advisers, steven moore, compared the protesters to modern day rosa parks. you see all of the images. what do you make of it? >> it's so disheartening. of course people want to go back to work. of course, people want to get back and have life return to normal. if we jump the gun and not pay attention to the epidemiologists and the disease specialists in terms of going back to work, this disaster is going to explo explode. one of the things that rankles me is we look back to 2009, to the h1n1, if you study it, it's probably a textbook example on how to handle an epidemic and pandemic. the testing was ready to go. and in 16 days, it was sent out, the test, once the virus was identified. this first attempt at sending out tests was unfortunate because the tests didn't work very well. as you heard from other guests, we're still behind the ball, in terms of getting universal testing. >> yeah. we're behind the ball of getting universal testing. even dr. fauci, on the task force, has admitted as much. dr. stanley berry. we appreciate you stepping up there. >>> traci

steven moore, a member of the president's council to reopen the country says he's helping to organize a protest in wisconsin. yesterday, the president seemed to encourage protesters. >> people feel that way, they're allowed to protest. i watched the protests and they were all six feet apart. they were all orderly people. some governors have gone too far. some of the things that happened are maybe not so appropriate. i think in the end it's not going to matter because we're start to go open up our states. >> why is the president trying to undermine the guidance you've been laying out? and that ooze buildihe's been - out this premise on thursday and he defied it on friday. the tweet seems to imply that he doesn't want to own the responsibility of these necessary shutdowns. >> the american people can be confident that this president wants to reopen the american economy as soon as we can safely and responsible do it. >> and with michigan among several u.s. states where stay at home orders were protested, the governor wittmer yesterday defended the actions. >> michigan right now has the th

it was reported this morning i guess steven moore of the club for growth is among those advising the president. he is among those saying that tomorrow would be a fine day to re-open certain businesses in certain places, so the white house is getting all this input and in turn talking to governors today. >> are that's right, brian. i think you underscored the type of pressure that president trump is under to try to restart the economy, particularly as he is in the middle of a re-election year. according to our sources -- and this is reporting along with my colleagues carol lee, monica alba, we have determined that there is a robust effort behind the scenes at the white house to try to determine a plan to increase testing. all medical experts have concluded that that's really going to be critical to re-opening the economy across the country. so we are told that officials are looking at a number of different possibilities that would include increasing diagnostic as well as antibody tests, a potential public and private partnership that could increase tests by about 3 million per day. no

steven moore, who has done advising for the president in the past, said the next four to eight weeksesident can get re-elected. you talk to conservative economists, and they feel the government is way behind in the things that need to be done to make sure when things do return, they return robustly. >> so as we have seen, the outbreak has completely upended lives for millions of americans, as you laid out. how soon do you actually think everything could get back to this new sense of normal? >> that's the -- probably the most important debate, other than figuring out a cure and figuring out how to help people stricken by this virus. inside the white house, there's a pretty robust debate. some think you can start to put the economy back to work as early as may 1st. most think it'll probably be mid-may, late-may, before you have different parts of the economy, different parts of the country returning. it's not going to be, as our health care editor points out in a piece today, it is not going to be a switch goes back on, like the switch went off. it'll be a flicker, and it'll be a flick

to add insult to injury, steven moore, who is a economic adviser to president trump, had said that thereminded him of rosa parks. let me be clear. i joined the civil rights movement at 12 years old. the next year at 13 i became youth director of the local chapter of dr. king's organization and been in civil rights all my life. this is not civil rights. when you risk people's lives to try and raise a point that really is politically motivated. the objective of the civil rights movement and objective of civil rights activism today is to save lives and to have equality. rosa parks, who i was blessed down through the years to speak to on many occasions and was honored to speak at her funeral in detroit and in montgomery -- rosa parks was sitting in, and became an iconic symbol for standing up for inclusion, not standing up to say that we should have the right to put people's lives at risk so that people can bring the economy back so a president can look better for his re-election. you can stand up. you have the right to stand up. but don't distort what civil rights is, particularly when we

steven moore, who has been an adviser to him, has been telling him, "listen, you've got four to eight weeks to get this right, or you're going to lose re-election." part of this debate, while it is uncomfortable, it does have to happen. like, at some point, some parts of the economy have to return. what you guys are saying is totally correct. the quickest, easiest way to do that is to have testing. because the worst possible outcome is that you restart the economy, and then all of a sudden, you have a massive resurgence of the virus, and you have to go back into this mode. >> sure. >> that would be catastrophic and something we probably couldn't recover from for years. >> mika, that's what i'm so concerned about. i'm concerned about the president not pushing the testing, not getting testing to enough americans, not working on the antibody testing like other countries are doing, and him opening up the economy halfway. people going back in, starting their small businesses back up again, if they still can. small businesses are the ones that have bore the greatest brunt of this. trust me,

that if larry kudlow's saying we've got this dinecontained, g back to work, everything's fine, steven moore's saying if people die, if people on news stations that he's watching seem to put forward the argument, you know what? it's nothing more than the flu. or you know what? let people get back to work. two%, 3% mortality rate, it happens. they have to know that it's supporters of donald trump and it's donald trump himself when he's talking about, quote, liberating people from medicine and science and protecting greatest generation, they've got to know it's their lives that are being put on the line by reckless policies. doesn't -- this is -- this is not a rhetorical question. like, doesn't he understand that? >> well, he understands polls, he understands ratings. he understands a list of numbers that shows how he's doing. that's the one thing can he respond to. and he does respond to and he does talk about all the time. he, of course, won seniors in 2016. they were one of the groups that propelled him to victory over hillary clinton. he cannot afford to lose them if he wants to be re-electe

as donald trump and john kennedy and talk radio hosts and steven moore and larry kudlow are. >> the president has been fixated on this may 1st date. now, again, let's stress, it will be the governors themselves who actually lift stay at home orders, who are the ones who are going to reopen the economies in their states. obviously, if the president announces, as we expect today, guidelines for the 50 states, that will give some governors the feeling of cover they need to do so. we expect it'll be in a couple categories. the president is expected to say some states could go back may 1st, some a little sooner. others that are still hot spots would need to go later. but they're sort of recommendations that not everyone, of course, is expected to follow. we are anticipating some real tension between the white house and some statehouses across the country. you're right, joe, the president has convened his second council. we see the task force, headed by the vice president, dr. fauci, dr. birx there, and they appear before the media most days. now, there is an economic council, the one meant to help

you have heard steven moore, one of the president's informal economic advisers, make it.heard larry kudlow make it. one of the president's top economic advisers make it. you -- you've heard trumpaganpr make it. it is one thing to ask dr. fauci questions. might this go away? it's okay to say, "shouldn't we go back," ask those questions and stuff. it's totally fine. in fact, that's what people should be doing. push the doctors. see what it is. what we heard when dr. fauci was pushed, he said, "this is entirely different." he said, "this is unprecedented." he said, "this won't just disappear." but, willie, then you have dr. oz, and then you have dr. phil, and you have so many other people going out there, saying that this is going -- it is just like car accidents. it's just like cigarettes. or it's just like swimming pools. let me show you this chart that erick erickson, again, tweeted out yesterday, to say, "this is not the flu." he said, "i'm a conservative. i've caught a lot of garbage, but this is the flu." erick has known people who had this. he knows also -- he talked

steven moore, "let them die." he doesn't say it that way, but read through it. we have to get the economy open. those people going out there and doing everything the doctors are telling them not to do, he called them the rosa parks of this generation. it's just -- i worry for them. i'll be honest with you, like jim, i worry for my own family, and i worry for loved ones. because we have a couple of really high-risk people living with us and around us. i don't -- you know, i'm getting notices, that baseball season may be started up soon by people who obviously are not listening to what doctors are saying. it's crazy. like don't get your information from talk radio. don't get your information from cable news hosts. get your information from doctors, from scientists, from the people who know best. my god, willie, talk about the death of expertise, leading to the death of over 40,000 americans. i mean, that's where we are right now. dangerous, really dangerous. >> governor kemp in georgia yesterday, we just heard that clip, was sort of defiant. he said, "i don't give

steven might have dropped. let's go to haley with wowk. all right, let's try annie moore. >> did they give you insight today on what the guidelines might be for the return to work? guest: is this annie, i'm sorry. >> this is annie with wv -- wvba. in your discussions with president trump, did he give you any insight as to what those guidelines are going to be for he return to work? gov. justice: he gave us a lot of insight. i don't want to preempt them releasing it. i think they'll release it around 5:00 today or 6:00 today. gave us a lot of information, a lot of guidelines. i think the guidelines, you'll find conservative, primarily without one upping our president because i'm sure not going to do that. but you know, primarily in the beginning, to progress to what they would call phase 1 which would be some easing and some beginnings of us going back to work or whatever like that, i think what you'll see is being curve orustain a lower lowering curve in everything that will prompt you toward progressing into what they call phase 1 and then from that you know, you can go
