but donald trump? well, donald trump thinks you're going to die anyway. donald trump actually said today that if you do not go back to work by easter, you will kill yourselves. that's what he said. that's the way donald trump actually sees this situation. that's the way donald trump sees you. donald trump does not believe that life is worth living if you lose money. if you have less money this year than last year, if you have a lot less money this year than last year, then the obvious choice is to kill yourself because life is not worth living in donald trump's value system. >> you're going to lose more people by putting a country into a massive recession or depression. you're going to lose people. you're going to have suicides by the thousands. >> just let that sink in. suicides by the thousands. you have a president of the united states who believes that if the whole country goes back to work in three weeks the number of people who will die from coronavirus is less than the number of people who would kill themselves if they don't go back to work. he bel

i sued donald trump. it's called blumenthal versus trump and we're continuing that litigation and we've watched himself enrich during his presidency in a way that is unprecedented in recent history, maybe in the history of our country but there are strong safeguards in this bill and he would have to blatantly and clearly violate the law in a way that i think would cause outrage. i hope on both sides. i would emphasize these constraints on his doing so are bipartisan as is the entire bill, and the two packages before it also were bipartisan. i think the prohibition and checks and oversights, the inspector general as well as the oversight panel that will be appointed by congress will offer a lot of protection against abuses by donald trump or by the executives who may be enriched. >> senator richard blumenthal thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >>> when we come back, we'll be joined by one of the "new york times" reporters that deliver that tragic report i quoted at the beginning what is happening at e

donald trump didn't shut down anything. and so donald trump cannot reopen anything. donald trump is not in charge here. the governors are in charge. and that is good news and that includes republican governors who have shut down their states. governor gavin newsom, whose state controls more economic activity than any other state, and has more people than any other state, the governor of california will not be listening to anything donald trump says about when gavin newsom should begin returning california to normal. governor andrew cuomo of new york has more coronavirus cases in his state than any other state, and in the biggest city in his state, governor cuomo has a street named wall street. and it will be andrew cuomo and not donald trump who decides when new york state and new york city and wall street get back to normal. and luckily for new york, andrew cuomo is smart enough to not listen to a word donald trump says about that. but andrew cuomo has said publicly many times that he is guided by the medical professionals including dr. anthony fauci, who was not pr

donald trump is related to. they were not a church-going family before donald trump became a politician and they're not now. when he showed his dream of packed churches with the fox interviewer, the interviewer didn't ruin the delivery of that piece of propaganda by asking the president what church he would be attending on easter sunday. there aren't going to be packed churches in the neighborhood where donald trump grew up in borough of queens in new york city. most coronavirus cases of any state by very wide margin and epicenter of the pandemic in the united states and queens is the epicenter of the epicenter. queens has 30% of new york city's confirmed coronavirus cases. that's more than any other borough of new york city including manhattan. queens also has fewer hospitals than any other borough in new york city. elmhurst hospital opened in queens in 1832, helped new yorkers survive the spanish flu of 1918. a doctor working there today told the "new york times" that the situation there now is apocalyptic. in

trump when donald trump said everything is going good with testing. l let's listen to this. >> we're not the best nation in terms of testing. that's obvious. >> we couldn't get a good clear answer on when we're going to get commercial testing out there, labs that can get faster responses and when we're going to allow every person that wants to be tested be able to be tested. >> our system is not up to enough and people are frustrated by it. >> that is after they had a closed door briefing with administration officials and let's give mitt romney credit. he's the only senator that said no, donald trump should not continue in this job at the end of the impeachment trial but here we are on at least a space where they are willing to doubt the president. >> yeah, i think look, this has been such a failure of competence by the president but also confidence by the president. his speech last night, which as you said at the outset undermined markets and confidence, didn't address what people are krconcerned about. didn't have clear answers. the republican senat

i rose a that's why do you hail anybody at 1st oh yeah sure one of the secrets of donald trump success was stealing bernie sanders oculus policies wholesale and adopting them has is old and barely sound it's still there with those policies which are seriously addressing because what that he didn't come out of nowhere he came from a highly privileged background a property speculators and wrecked renters and landlord as in new york put that money got himself on television made himself a public figure with the blessing of all of the people who are now deriding him by our way through i was i was a lone voice when i was saying this guy is a crook and a failure why you why you're praising him like this and by the way in case you say that joe biden is no friend of mine i think what he did was despicable it's right but it's his son the risk who is here and you cannot visit the sins of the son on the father caleb radio new insult and it's all right it's on tape the quid pro quo biden admitted to is on tape and he was gloating about it so she you know a plague on his house i mean how you get ric

the invention of donald trump and the eye roegs of america. two of our good friends, let's talk about your article, how have these character traits shaped donald trump's response. why should anyone be surprised this is the way he's governing in a crisis? >> we shouldn't be surprised. thanks for having me. i hope you are doing well. >> i've been writing about this for weeks. it sounds hyperbolic to say that, but it is an obsession. he used to give these speeches showing -- to thousands of people who would pay $20 to get the keys to trumpian success, and he would say over and over again that his number one rule of business was if someone screws you, you screw them. you don't just screw them five times over, 10 times, 15 times, and the guys at wharton won't tell you that, but i'm going to tell you that, we see just in the last 24 hours that he won't even call the governor of michigan by her name. if they don't treat us right, we don't call. this is all about him. he has this -- you know, it's almost like -- part of his driving motivation, maybe e

donald trump. not one. not one. every ally of the united states has in the middle east knows that donald trump stands with israel first and foremost, and that is going to be the bar that is that for democrats in this election. whoever they nominate, and whoever they nominate in the coming elections. president trump has set that standard for the u.s. israel relationship and i think the republican depart the republican party will be on the move for it. >> thank you. our next topic is the crook congressional elections. all 435 house seats, and 35 senate seats are up for grabs this november. as we know, republicans currently control the senate and democrats the house. brad, what impact do you see, who the democrats chooses their nominee, having on the down ballot races having on the congressional races? >> i think every democratic nominee for house and all marginal races and most of the ones in the senate, they're defending suburban moderate turf. these are going to be the places where bernie sanders i

is what donald trump had to say about that. actually it was a tweet but just imagine his voice if you will. he said elizabeth foreign wasn't in the race bernie sanders would have easily won massachusetts, minnesota, texas, various other states, modern-day pocahontas won't down in history as a winner but she they go down as the all-time great spoiler. what's going on with elizabeth warren? why did she stay in super tuesday? was adjusted take votes from bernie? >> i don't think so. he had a delusional expectation she might do well in super tuesday. their own polling shows her doing better than she did. they showed her winning massachusetts which she came in third. i think now she has got to get out and if she's going to have any personal brand going forward, any credibility she has got to align with bernie sanders. bernie sanders needs her. he's behind by 50 delegates. elizabeth warren has 50 delegates, donald trump is wrong, had she not been in the race bernie sanders would be the same as joe biden but going forward why does he

to officially start their 2020 presidential primary it is fitting to assess donald trump's performance in office a report card of sorts where is he kept his promises and where has he come up short will any of this really matter in november. cross talking the trump report card i'm joined by my guest soraya foss in austin she is a u.s. libertarian presidential candidate in new york who crossed the line and he is a legal and media analyst also in new york we have in williams he is a journalist and author as well as a senior analyst at foreign policy in focus all right cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it lionel let me go to you 1st here in a nutshell give donald trump his report card because the primary season is upon us here i must say his opponents are not something that i would be too worried about but an incumbent president always does run in this case his record so judge that record given a grade a plus plus plus and also if i could curve if i could weigh in the fact that he has been absolutely or they have attempted to sto

at all donald trump have to sneak in and out of london they see us as a joke on the lake area because they could the stunned the popular public protests even boris johnson is embarrassed by him he has to support him for geopolitical reasons but boris johnson actually pleaded with him to stay away during the election because it doesn't buy donald trump could have led to electoral disaster in britain ok and it's most of the case stay with us it's not like you know you said want to take i worry about this you had one thing riot jumping in are wondering all right go ahead. yeah you know let me tell you i think the one thing that you said that is right is that he's a show man and he's all appearance and that's what one everybody in 2016 he promised to put america 1st and he hasn't done any of that the only thing he's done is he's sold himself to the saudi government we're fighting wars that aren't even r's. this is ridiculous and you seem to think that he's appealing to the american people how by using our taxpayer dollars to fund wars that aren't even ours or i mean i don't understand you

let me tell you i'd have to say i'm very disappointed in donald trump even though i endorsed him in 2016 everything that he said that he was going to do he has not applied to in fact especially when it comes to foreign policy so i would have to give him a d. minus ok and you're up to bat go ahead in new york well i really have to say look our presentation is a double plus he's a consummate politician is if he has a demagogue of the 1st order he's up there with muscle levy or how to pull a crowd but in terms of delivery it's. negative negative negative but it's interesting i think the american people have seen that's because the key point is it's quite clear that an ethics is f. f. f. i've been covering him since i came to america in one $989.00 and i couldn't understand the adulation with which he was greeted he became the archetype will businessman with his t.v. program has he led company after company into town the bankruptcy he was standing up there talking about the art of the deal when he really made it on every single business deal he ever made and left that all over the place the

i mean they know what they're for they're for being donald trump and this idea that we've had a conversation about issues and issues matter there's been no evidence of that in the last couple of cycles donald trump defeated hillary clinton who had a plan for everything was with one has a plan for everything and she went down on the way she would pay for that plan of medicare for all largely because it dealt with issues over authenticity did you just back off of medicare for all are you not committed you know bernie sanders doesn't exactly have a plan and how he's going to pay for his signature issue of medicare for all this isn't but really not about issues at all this is about aspiration it's about ideology it is about head and heart and i know we're going to go back to the media saying that this is look at what voters are saying is the number one issue and this one number that one thing that bernie sanders has been talking about is why he thinks he can defeat trump going forward of course i also don't necessarily agree it's going to be a state by state contest this thing could be kind of o

donald trump on the fence who he would rather face in the general election. he says he was ready to make the capitalism versus socialism debate with bernie but also points out bernie has a very energized base. heather: the debate will not have an audience. speaking of the reason they are not doing that is coronavirus but harry potter does not have it. carley: harry potter star daniel radcliffe forced to deny report that he's the first celebrity to test positive for the coronavirus. it started with a fake bbc account tweet saying breaking, daniel radcliffe tests positive for coronavirus, the first famous person to be publicly confirmed, that twitter account looked so real, thousands every tweets including let matthew haberman who apologized saying i retweeted a fake bbc account. a helpful reader flagged it. my apologies for the confusion. daniel radcliffe is doing just fine. nick points out everyone knows the chosen one can't get coronavirus. heather: let's talk about something other than the coronavirus. the big mac. you can get a big mac, smaller. carley: if

trump when donald trump says everything's going great with testing. let's listen to this. >> well, we're not the best equipped nation in terms of testing. that's absolutely obvious. every single senator who asked a question today expressed that. >> we couldn't get a good clear answer on when we're going to get commercial testing out there, labs that can get faster responses, and when we're going to allow every person that wants to be tested to be able to be tested. >> our system has not been you have to snuff, and i think a lot of people are frustrated by it. i'm one of them. >> of course that, ron klain, was after they had a closed-door briefing with administration officials. and let's give mitt romney credit. he's the only republican senator who said no, donald trump should not continue in this job at the end of the impeachment trial. but here we are, ron. they've found at least a space where they're willing to doubt the president. >> yeah, i think look, this has been such a failure of competence by the president but also confidence by the president

he does seem to legitimately want to stop donald trump, he seems to be offended by donald trump in some sort of very advi visceral way. at this point if he is there to help democrats beat trump, at the end it's a good story for michael bloomberg, not a bad story. >> and also good for a lot of local tv stations and facebook and google as well. >> amy, nbc news exit polling from last night's contest showed that joe biden has really a commanding lead with african-american voters specifically. more than 60%, 60% said that they backed joe biden. the takeaway -- in fact, that's almost 70% that you look at that exit poll, the graphic on your screen there, 66%. you can't be the nominee without support from black voters. senator sanders has touted this ability to form a diverse coalition but based on these numbers, is their campaign's argument holding up that they can actually unify all the different parts of the democratic party? >> i don't think either sanders or, you know, biden can claim that they're unifying all the different parts of the democratic party would-be coalition at this moment.

donald trump's signing statements are merely words. this may lead to another constitutional class that winds up in the courts, and we'll have to explore that remedy, but we do think that they are also other strong protections that have been built into the law to guard against the type of cronyism we have seen repeatedly from the trump administration. >> do you foresee democrats having to take this administration to court because we know that the history of steve mnuchin is that congress says they want to see donald trump's taxes, he refuses. congress puts out subpoenas during is this going to wind up being just another case of the trump administration in court with members of congress or with congress tryinging to prevent this inspector general from making reports to the legislative branch? >> well, we'll have to cross that bridge when we get to it. what i do think is important is that the president under the c.a.r.e.s. act has been given the authority to nominate an inspector general, but the senate has to confirm that inspector gener

that is the leadership of donald trump. the days are over when the jewish people were powerless to face threats of annihilation in the united states stands shoulder to shoulder with israel in defense of our common civilization and common threads. rebuilding american deterrence to peace through strength is the centerpiece of donald trump's national security strategy. this administration, we understand weakness arouses evil and history shows the free world is safest when america is strongest. i promise you we will never negotiate with those who seek the destruction of israel. we will never negotiate with those who commit terrorism against israel, not now, not ever. like all of you we stood with our most cherished ally as never before and we stood up to iran but now my friends, we have reached a fateful moment in our history. all over the world anti-semitism is on the rise. on college campuses, in the marketplace, even in the halls of congress. anti-semitism is a unique hatred, uniquely potent. uniquely responsible for unconsc

and apparently neither does donald trump. just last hour, he reversed course on a threat to quarantine new york, new jersey and connecticut. a half baked idea that caused millions of people to prematurely freak out for nothing. it's not unlike when he told the country we would be open for business by easter only to once again be forced to backtrack. he's asked the cdc to issue a strong travel advisory that a quarantine will not be necessary. thanks for that. cuomo and trump spoke earlier today about the u.s. navy ship comfort which is on its way to new york. trump somehow failed to mention this quarantine idea. cuomo's daily press conferences have been a source of reassurance and leadership, not only for new yorkers but really for the entire country. donald trump's daily briefings are something other than that, and have been compared to his signature rallies than informative presidential communications that help the public protect themselves during this pandemic. today trump chose another opportunity to soothe himself rather

donald trump says it's all a hoax. it's not a hoax. we have three good 75 cases now in the united states and 17 deaths in the united states. you go down the list. it's almost like -- he says he knows more than the generals do about war. it's like he now says he knows more about public health and the coronavirus than the leaders of the nih and the cdc. i don't understand why the administration -- mike pence would be, just shut up you would put the health professionals out there. yes, it's serious. it will take some time to get on top of, but we want to know the government recognizes the severity of the threat, is doing everything they can, and get the politicians the hell out of the way. host: the markets down significantly -- guest: yeah, and donald trump link that on investors not liking what they saw in the last democratic debate. good lord. you don't play politics with people's lives, with public health. host: how big an issue potentially could this be moving forward for the republicans and the president? guest: well, as an american

donald trump, he doesn't get it. donald trump does not get it. he doesn't see people. the only people he sees are the people he looks in the mirror and sees. he doesn't see the people. we need a president of the united states who feels, who understands, who is thinking about figuring out how to get to the end of the month when he's working two jobs and he knows he's missing his son's ballgame. we know somebody in the parking lot looking at the sliding glass doors of the emergency room and knowing even though she has insurance, if she walks through with her sick child is slightly out of pocket multiple thousands of dollars for her deductible. need a president of the united states who has the courage and the power to see and feel and understand that as a sign of strength and been left up to people. that is joe biden. [applause] on a personal level, i got to know joe best through his son. how the big bang had been engaged in predatory lending activities, so many people here and around the country lost their homes to foreclosure crisis and joe biden stood with me even thou

hours, just comparing joe biden to donald trump, when you look at just the wide range of donald trump, biden sounds like biwinston churchill compared to donald trump. >> it was a genius piece of tape put together by the daily show, no doubt about it. it was a lot funnier about two months ago. but i couldn't help but thinking about the number of people waking up today watching that just now thinking to themselves, what have we done? and there's going to be a price to pay, as we said earlier, for what he has not done. >> and, you know, mika, the more they go after biden on this front, the more they project the problem back on to themselves, because it reminds people that it's actually donald trump that people have been concerned -- people who have known him have been concerned about his well-being for years now. >> up next, much more on joe biden's big night. john joins the conversation, plus clair mccaskill who's home state of missouri also helped biden extend his lead. "morning joe" is back in a moment. extend his lead. "morning joe" is back in a moment. we can't calculate our total t

stephen asks if the democrats are on course to make donald trump a one term president. welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. the us political landscape has shifted dramatically in the last few weeks. the democratic party's search for the best candidate to beat donald trump in november now seems likely to end with the nomination of a 77—year—old establishment politician written off as past itjust a month ago. isjoe biden really the best the democrats can do? and could the coronavirus crisis change everything? well, my guest is democratic congressman anthony brown. do the democrats have a candidate and a message to beat trump? congressman anthony brown in washington, dc, welcome to hardtalk. congressman anthony brown in washington, dc, welcome to hardtalk. great to be on with you, stephen. congressman, i think given the state of the world today, we have to begin with the coronavirus. it is having massive impact around the world. i guess many people outside of the united states want to know is the us system of government fit for purpose when it comes to organising a

so another memorable part of donald trump's performance yesterday. his reaction to the news that senator mitt romney whose wife is isolating or who is isolating and his wife suffers from ms after romney was in close proximity of senator rand paul who tested positive. >> romney is in isolation? >> yes. >> gee, that is too bad. >> is that sarcasm there, sir? >> none whatsoever. >> and trump making it awfully difficult to put politics aside, but maybe there is more bipartisanship going on than meets the eye. joining us is connecticuthimes? >> well, rein fairfield county where my district is, and we are in the epicenter of the connecticut problems and we have almost all of the fatalities and well in excess of 100 people testing positive. so things are really tough here. but, you know, unlike the president as you showed in the clips, our governor is like a governor cuomo or governor baker or newsome showing us what true leadership looks like in a moment of crisis. and look, we have problems with testing, and we are running way short of the personal protec

[applause] even donald trump figured it out earlier. he knew that running against joe biden was the worst thing that could happen to them and he got impeached for trying to prevent it. [cheers and applause] i know and i testified that what you see is what you will get and what you will get is a better, safer america. while serving as an ambassador, i learned firsthand that everyone on this planet understands that the united states of america is the greatest country on earth. that is not just because of our wealth or because of our military might. creativity, of our our ingenuity, our energy, and compassion. we are the world's leaders. all of civilization looks to us to lead them to a better life but donald trump is tearing us down one accepted american ustom after another, one relished american tradition after another, and one american law after another.

we listened to donald trump speak on friday night. people asked him why you know souch aboso much about this and maybe he should have gone into this. everyone who wants a test can get a test, yesterday he said that on friday, and that's empirically not true. there were supposed to be 1 million by friday and there were 75,000. we might have a million by monday. robert redfield is standing next to him and anthony fauci and alex azar is trying to do a good job and not polite size every conversation about this. i'm trying to understand how much is donald trump and vice president mike pence who doesn't understand how infections spread and how much of this is fundamentally a structural problem about the fact that there are going to be epidemics and we need to have policy? >> to be fair, it's some of both. obviously, any kind of situation like this sends people scrambling and requires improvisation and rapid movement so that's true, but we have unique problems of that arising under president trump. online they called the trump policy don't t

talk about how donald trump -- whether donald trump is missing this moment and if he wants to try to live up to what he's trying to portray himself to be which is a war time leader. what would have to happen and how can he start doing that? >> the president is missing an opportunity here to secure his political future and the country's future. that's what makes it so surprising for a man who's so attuned to the politics of everything. he seems almost a bystander to his own white house this this crisis, seems almost to be surprised by things that are being mentioned at the podium next to him or around him at all times. he's making a comment about how the u.s. government is not a postal clerk. we own the postal system and the u.s. military is probably the greatest and best mover of material and people in the world they're very good at this stuff, moving quickly at doing large jobs. there's a lot of buttons he could be pushing and there does seem to be an absence of urgency. on this very show we have talked about what would happen when this president was confronted by a crisis that was

to stop donald trump. but, charlie, in the "times" says only the number of states won obscures the marvel of a bloomberg experiment in which name recognition and unlimited war chest polling less than 3% on the day announced to 16% by the end of february. it aloud a less than charismatic campaigner and stop and frisk and non-disclosure agreement baggage too skipped the first four nominating states to still manage to crack 10% of the vote and nearly all of the super tuesday contests. if there's a lesson to draw from this it seems to be that "atlantic's" remark, how close it came to working. and you can take out a few things. i think, willie, if michael bloomberg had listened to mika's advi advice, and that is start with a lot of media interviews where he was really strong, in media interviews. prepare yourself more for those debates, or if when you got into those debates you didn't have one candidate, elizabeth warren, who so focus seem to take you out of the race. our explanation was very few people could s
