mentioned theu 2000 guard members who have been called up. is there any discussion you are having other than the possibility of mobilizing the guard under federal authority? what is the advantage of that? >> the national guard is a reserve component. that is to remain under the command and control of the networks in the state. every state has a different way to deal with disasters. the national guard is uniquely qualified to operate under the governors. if you are to federalize them, you would lose that ability. one unique attribute is that we can operate as law enforcement to assist the state and local law enforcement. if you were to federalize it, you would lose that ability. certainly the president can mobilize the national guard. it would be my advice, and there are no plans to take the national guard and put them in a federal status. much better used in a state status. >> thank you. >> general, you talked about moving those half-million swabs to memphis. fedex will distribute them. walk us through what the role will be after that. doer t

what tom massy was successful in doing was getting half of theus to return to session.nd members were not happythbout . because what he wanted to do was to prevent the house from approving it simply by a vce vote. when you have a voice vote in the house you canave a handful of members in the house to do that. but what he wanted was a full recorded vote. they had to cast aoll call vote. but in order for him to get a roll call vote h would need a second support about a fifth of the chamber to go that way. but in order for nancy pelosi and the republicans leader to deny that from happening, they had to goac intal quorum to deny thomas massy theatecond he needed in order to forceol thatcall vote. that means republican and democratic members from all over the country hado travel ba to washington today just to preventhat f happening, and that infuriated members from both sides of the aisle who are concerd about their well-being, their family's well-being, concerned about traveling in ohe middle this public health emergency, and as a result, it was quick voice vote and that's

sick, theu don't get choices you make about where you go could be the difference between life and deathe. >> the united states and mexico have agreed to restrict non-essential travel across their shared border to contain the spread of coronavirus. that follows a similar agreement between the u.s. and canada. >> in normal times, these massive loads place a vast burden on our health care system. during a global pandemic, they threaten to create a perfect storm that would spread the infection to our border agents, migrants, and to the public at large. left unchecked, this would cripple our immigration system, overwhelm our health care system, and severely damage our national security. we are not going to let that happen. >> iran's leader vowed to overcome the coronavirus while giving an update message marking the persian new year. he called for u.s. sanctions to be lifted so life-saving medical supplies can come in. the government says more than 1400 iranians have died with nearly 20,000 infected. keep it here for continuing coverage of the coronavirus pandemic on al jazeera. ♪ [speaking f

an guerrilla war is extremely personal, bloody war see on theu don't fancy battlefields. it sometimes devolves into individual people against each other. the union army is trying to deal with this. anyone who studies a war with guerrilla fighters, it can be difficult for armies to find out who is a guerrilla fighter and who is an everyday civilian. i call this the collection of men in jaunty hats. except for him, they are all in fancy hats. bushwhackers don't this is certainly where uniforms. don't necessarily wear uniforms. it is easy for them to blend back into the populace. they know the area of missouri. blendeasy for them to back into the area. that becomes difficult to judge who is doing the battle and who isn't. jayhawkers are basically the guerrilla fighters of kansas. there are similar groups attacking bushwhackers. current are not as many jayhawkers -- there are not as many jayhawkers as bushwhackers. jayhawkers are unionist guerrilla fighters in other parts of the western theater into the eastern theater. guerrilla warfare pops up throughout the confederacy. in

taking theu for question. this is kind of a follow-up to a question i asked earlier, but the news asked a lot of people to stay home, but we're getting a lot of mixed messages. you turn on the tv this morning, and there are images of people at a farmers market, downtown sacramento, they are crowded standing next to each other, you see people standing in line to go to the grocery store. it sends this makes message to people that -- mixed message to people that there is no social distancing going on here a lot people i talk to say that is not fair, we need to be working. i was wondering what your message is to people when they see these things on tv? >> i don't know if it is mixed messaging because i'm not sure that is the intentional message, it is a mixed practice that is occurring throughout the country, not just here in california. everybodyill remind it has been less than 24 hours since our stay-at-home water went into effect. is people are going to have to change behavior, you should have distance, at leas
