SCARBOROUGH Hans help us ░░░░░░░░ here I know when ░░░░░░░░ President talked about reopening ░░░░░░░░ Easter we immediately said ░░░░░░░░ you know he was ░░░░░░░░ sending a message to ░░░░░░░░ that yeah he was ░░░░░░░░ back on his health ░░░░░░░░ He knew that we ░░░░░░░░ t reopen our economy ░░░░░░░░ by Easter Do we ░░░░░░░░ the same thing happening ░░░░░░░░ on the May 1st ░░░░░░░░ with testing still as ░░░░░░░░ as it is if ░░░░░░░░ look at it as ░░░░░░░░ per citizen ratio NICHOLS ░░░░░░░░ I wouldn t be ░░░░░░░░ surprised I actually think ░░░░░░░░ President is this time ░░░░░░░░ serious about it Because ░░░░░░░░ think the combination of ░░░░░░░░ testing and surveillance testing ░░░░░░░░ of monitoring what s ░░░░░░░░ could be sufficient to ░░░░░░░░ up parts of the ░░░░░░░░ on a regional basis ░░░░░░░░ in the past it ░░░░░░░░ he has been sort ░░░░░░░░ winking at the markets ░░░░░░░░ to juice the stock ░░░░░░░░ or send a signal ░░░░░░░░ at least those Americans ░░░░░░░░ do want to get ░░░░░░░░ to work which let ░░░░░░░░ be honest about this ░░░░░░░░ is a big debate ░░░░░░░░ the country about when ░░░░░░░░ open up And in ░░░░░░░░ past at least with ░░░░░░░░ it seems the President ░░░░░░░░ nodding This seems more ░░░░░░░░ Again though the testing ░░░░░░░░ mean you re talking ░░░░░░░░ the overall confidence issue ░░░░░░░░ power of the presidency ░░░░░░░░ limited And the rhetorical ░░░░░░░░ are limited And even ░░░░░░░░ the president says Open ░░░░░░░░ there is no guarantee ░░░░░░░░ is what he heard ░░░░░░░░ Jonathan was mentioning on ░░░░░░░░ call with the business ░░░░░░░░ s that there might ░░░░░░░░ be the public confidence ░░░░░░░░ I don t want ░░░░░░░░ do any sports metaphors ░░░░░░░░ in part because there ░░░░░░░░ no sports to watch ░░░░░░░░ confidence is a tricky ░░░░░░░░ to instill I don ░░░░░░░░ know if the President ░░░░░░░░ least for the half ░░░░░░░░ country or more than ░░░░░░░░ we can have a ░░░░░░░░ that doesn t really ░░░░░░░░ to him how he ░░░░░░░░ inspire people to let ░░░░░░░░ know that it s ░░░░░░░░ to go out and ░░░░░░░░ living their lives Guys ░░░░░░░░ Well in the President ░░░░░░░░ most let s just ░░░░░░░░ the swing state that ░░░░░░░░ been most supportive of ░░░░░░░░ President in the past ░░░░░░░░ poll showed that 57 ░░░░░░░░ Floridians don t trust ░░░░░░░░ President when he is ░░░░░░░░ about the coronavirus So ░░░░░░░░ ll be hard for ░░░░░░░░ to instill that confidence ░░░░░░░░ you so much for ░░░░░░░░ with us BRZEZINSKI Great ░░░░░░░░ SCARBOROUGH It s greatly ░░░░░░░░
