confirmed cases in ░░░░░░░░ country has grown to ░░░░░░░░ 000 with the death ░░░░░░░░ sadly reaching 50 so ░░░░░░░░ Critics say the administration ░░░░░░░░ the nation should have ░░░░░░░░ better prepared but administration ░░░░░░░░ point to progress after ░░░░░░░░ problems That house legislation ░░░░░░░░ in point Jamie Weinstein ░░░░░░░░ us host of the ░░░░░░░░ Weinstein Comcast Jamie you ░░░░░░░░ been around Washington a ░░░░░░░░ time and finally it ░░░░░░░░ to be responding properly ░░░░░░░░ aggressively JAMIE I think ░░░░░░░░ is one of the ░░░░░░░░ linings I guess right ░░░░░░░░ There s a lot ░░░░░░░░ downside going on in ░░░░░░░░ country but there is ░░░░░░░░ bipartisan cooperation in Congress ░░░░░░░░ as you mentioned I ░░░░░░░░ been around a little ░░░░░░░░ and I do remember ░░░░░░░░ 2009 during that economic ░░░░░░░░ And I say this ░░░░░░░░ not to take one ░░░░░░░░ or the other but ░░░░░░░░ the time the zeitgeist ░░░░░░░░ the Republican movement especially ░░░░░░░░ the house was against ░░░░░░░░ bills That killed T ░░░░░░░░ R P The first ░░░░░░░░ under President Bush and ░░░░░░░░ of gave President Obama ░░░░░░░░ struggles passing his large ░░░░░░░░ That zeitgeist of kind ░░░░░░░░ the tea party movement ░░░░░░░░ dissipated and I think ░░░░░░░░ might be a boon ░░░░░░░░ President Trump as he ░░░░░░░░ to push perhaps larger ░░░░░░░░ stimulus bills during this ░░░░░░░░ of economic uncertainty Eric ░░░░░░░░ The president said is ░░░░░░░░ mean clearly there ll ░░░░░░░░ more coming but here ░░░░░░░░ what the bill passed ░░░░░░░░ night provides among other ░░░░░░░░ free free Coronavirus testing ░░░░░░░░ quite sure when that ░░░░░░░░ be completely rolled out ░░░░░░░░ everybody across the country ░░░░░░░░ going to get 14 ░░░░░░░░ sick days because the ░░░░░░░░ says you shouldn t ░░░░░░░░ to worry about losing ░░░░░░░░ job Three months of ░░░░░░░░ leave Free food for ░░░░░░░░ food banks and Medicaid ░░░░░░░░ know support What else ░░░░░░░░ you think there could ░░░░░░░░ There have been suggestions ░░░░░░░░ the dod getting involved ░░░░░░░░ up hospitals and a ░░░░░░░░ support to our medical ░░░░░░░░ which potentially could be ░░░░░░░░ JAMIE Well I think ░░░░░░░░ lot of things have ░░░░░░░░ floated I mean you ░░░░░░░░ the clip earlier of ░░░░░░░░ mnuchin saying this is ░░░░░░░░ the is second inning ░░░░░░░░ that house bill So ░░░░░░░░ think there s potentially ░░░░░░░░ lot more especially if ░░░░░░░░ see you know sudden ░░░░░░░░ stops in other industries ░░░░░░░░ we are seeing in ░░░░░░░░ today with movie theaters ░░░░░░░░ other venues caf s ░░░░░░░░ perhaps there s been ░░░░░░░░ suggestion that direct payments ░░░░░░░░ adults and children in ░░░░░░░░ country in the range ░░░░░░░░ 1 000 per adult ░░░░░░░░ 500 for children you ░░░░░░░░ that hasn t you ░░░░░░░░ bubbled up to something ░░░░░░░░ s actionable in actual ░░░░░░░░ But a lot of ░░░░░░░░ have pointed at that ░░░░░░░░ a possibility to prevent ░░░░░░░░ severe recession So I ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ a lot more proposals ░░░░░░░░ the coming weeks especially ░░░░░░░░ we see more restrictions ░░░░░░░░ businesses caf s closing ░░░░░░░░ movie theaters closing down ░░░░░░░░ of that sort I ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ many more proposals of ░░░░░░░░ much higher dollar amount ░░░░░░░░ we ve seen so ░░░░░░░░ Eric And it seems ░░░░░░░░ Capitol Hill both sides ░░░░░░░░ cooperating and recognizing this ░░░░░░░░ s Kevin McCarthy CLIP ░░░░░░░░ McCarthy You listened to ░░░░░░░░ president today declaring a ░░░░░░░░ emergency you watch what ░░░░░░░░ s doing putting more ░░░░░░░░ watched what he said ░░░░░░░░ everybody who has a ░░░░░░░░ loan you re not ░░░░░░░░ to pay interest for ░░░░░░░░ next year I mean ░░░░░░░░ moves that he is ░░░░░░░░ not only to keep ░░░░░░░░ safer making sure that ░░░░░░░░ is now in the ░░░░░░░░ you should feel more ░░░░░░░░ in what s going ░░░░░░░░ happen And more importantly ░░░░░░░░ an American you should ░░░░░░░░

Anthony Fauci In ░░░░░░░░ White House press room ░░░░░░░░ said this about the ░░░░░░░░ CLIP BEGINS Fauci There ░░░░░░░░ things that happened yesterday ░░░░░░░░ I think are going ░░░░░░░░ be really important the ░░░░░░░░ declaring a state of ░░░░░░░░ emergency because that will ░░░░░░░░ what I thought the ░░░░░░░░ that I use essentially ░░░░░░░░ unshackling us from any ░░░░░░░░ the things that are ░░░░░░░░ to get in the ░░░░░░░░ particularly the new powers ░░░░░░░░ to the secretary of ░░░░░░░░ Alex Azar and the ░░░░░░░░ within his agency Within ░░░░░░░░ group particularly the nursing ░░░░░░░░ situation which we ve ░░░░░░░░ got to protect now ░░░░░░░░ s all systems go ░░░░░░░░ s look forward CLIP ░░░░░░░░ Eric Do you think ░░░░░░░░ know I hearken back ░░░░░░░░ the CDC projection that ░░░░░░░░ done last month of ░░░░░░░░ of 214 million infected ░░░░░░░░ 000 1 7 million ░░░░░░░░ very sobering However that ░░░░░░░░ done before these actions ░░░░░░░░ taken place Do you ░░░░░░░░ that Washington is finally ░░░░░░░░ to get a handle ░░░░░░░░ this JAMIE Yeah I ░░░░░░░░ certainly not a medical ░░░░░░░░ permit I listen to ░░░░░░░░ like Dr Fauci and ░░░░░░░░ think all Americans
