. >> laura: let's talk about witmer, chris. her response to the crisis.ardless of whether you're a democrat or republican, pretty heavy-handed. she's had a lot of dust ups, obviously a lot of court challenges. how might that come into play in the thinking of biden about whom to pick? >> i think biden knows that that's astroturf put down by trump supporter's to try to weaken the governor, whose numbers are much higher than president trump's in michigan. she's at over 60% approval in michigan. trump is in the low 40s in michigan. i think that makes her a viable pick, because quite frankly you need michigan to win. it's a very important state. but we will see what happens. look, i'm a big believer in the old sales term, if you don't ask, you don't get. if there are some people out there asking. it's different, we haven't seen it before. biden has got to pick a vp that's going to help them unite the party more than anything else. >> laura: next up, pelosi is pushing remote voting along with the $3 trillion in stimulus. meanwhile, her media appearances are goi

andrew cuomo, new jersey governor murphy, pennsylvania governor wolf and the dumb governor michigan witmer. one of the worst mistakes ever made by governor officials. for some reason, the nursing homes, require them to take on covid-19 infected patients, even though they had no means to care for them. the majority of people died in the states. it has caused massive outbreaks among the states most vulnerable population, especially in new york. all the state of new york, 30% of all deaths came from those dumb decisions. well, cuomo is unapologetic and now he's blaming the nursing homes, their fold, take a look. >> older people, vulnerable people are going to die from this virus. that is going to happen. you can't save everyone. you are going to lose people. that is life. that nursing home should have referred that patient and should have told the department of health, i can't handle these patients.vet now, when the department of health, they no longer get paid for bernadette. oh, money. >> we have been helping them with more ppe, but again, it's not our job. when you are telling them what ha

witmer has faced substantial protest through this process as opponent said she's been heavy-handed and arbitrary with restrictions and the restrictions treat population centers on detroit the same as rural parts of the state. >> what i can't do is negotiate like this is a political issue, it's a public health issue. i need to listen to the epidemiologist and the health experts in our state and across our country and that's precisely what i'm doing. >> witmer argues her restrictions are to protect the citizens of the state and she has the state, in support of the attorney general. the department chair called the lawsuit at dog and pony show which will waste the courts time and the taxpayers' dime. michigan has one of the worst outbreaks in the nation is over 4,000 deaths. >> ed: mike tobin, thank you. sandra? >> sandra: how three marines on an international flight took matters into their own hands when a disruptive passenger started threatening people on board. plus, a new poll on whether americans believe the sexual assault allegations against joe biden and what it could mean for his p

governor witmer feels like she has the emergency declaration ue emergency order, to do what she's doing by executive order. that is seeing significant pushback. this is going to happen as you go more and more further and further down, and the economic impact gets really heavy for some people who are not getting the benefits of the ppp program, or the $1200 that they received has run out. i mean, rents are due, bills are due, this is a big, big deal. again, the health crisis versus the economic crisis. >> melissa: yes. and, martha, if you like the conversation has really shifted in the same way that you guys are focusing on sunday night on the economic question. that is where a lot of the focus has gone. it seems like we know, from a health perspective, who is the most vulnerable. lots of people have suggested, "why don't we go from protecting the healthy to protecting the vulnerable? keeping them inside? full scope of their people who clearly feel like the risk to them financially is bigger than the risk to their own health, and they want to get back out and get started, and they feel l
