Global pandemic. Lawmakers were told this week that the virus would continue to spread in this country and that the worst is yet to come. We will see more cases and things will get worse than they are right now. How much worse well get will depend on our ability to do two things, to contain the influx of people who are infected coming from the outside, and the ability to contain and mitigate within our own country. Bottom line, its going to get worse. Paul dr. Borio, the former director for medical and biodefense preparedness policy at the white house, a position she left in 2019. Welcome, doctor. Appreciate you coming in. Thank you. Paul lets talk first about testing. This is a big issue of contention. Where do we stand now on the availability of tests for the coronavirus . So, testing is just now becoming more available. In addition to the Public Health lab testing, academic labs are beginning to test. The good news is that some private Developers Already have tests authorized for use, lap corps and quest being two of them and even more recently the great news i think is that the fda authorized these tests to be run on existing instruments that exist in many, many hospitals and some of these instruments can do high capacity testing. So all together, we should see an alleviat alleve alleviatie bottleneck that has been in place the last few weeks. Paul if you are an average american and have symptoms that you fear might be coronavirus, will we say within a week or so, will you be able to go into your Health Care Provider and get a test . Perhaps not so soon. Paul okay. Couple of weeks . We need we have to make up for some lost time. I think the prioritys going to be given for those that are highest risk or individuals who have an unexplained respiratory illness. Paul the most serious symptoms. Thats right. And some people already some states are implementing drivethrough testing for those individuals so that it can be expedited and minimize exposure to the whole health care system. Well see a rampup but its not going to be quite for the worried people that have not shown symptoms to go and get tests because its going to be a limited resource. Paul so they should stick to their houses, if they feel theyve been exposed maybe and just hunker down and wait and if they dont have symptoms, wait, if you do get serious symptoms, get tested. Or talk to your medical professional first to receive guidance. Paul all right. Sounds good. So do you have any sense of what kind of trajectory we might have here . It seems in italy, for example, in some parts of europe that have gone from nowhere to many, many cases very, very fast. Without tests here its hard to know. Whats your expectation . In a way, its really up to us. The virus has some very dangerous features that if its unattended to it will really continue to spread very rapidly and uncontrollably. There are so many steps that individuals and communities can take to flatten the curve. Paul this is flatten the curve of future cases. To slow the progression of the epidemic curve so a point where we can maintain operations of the health care system. So two basic measures are hygiene measures and social distancing measures. Paul hygiene are individuals. Individuals and also institutions. We can see that at this point many businesses are already improving their practice of cleaning surfaces more frequently. I rode the train yesterday, i could see it was very clean. [ laughter ] paul which is not always the case. Not always the case. Paul okay. And then social distancing, this is the phrase of the month. And were already seeing this take place with the closing down of big Public Events like basketball tournaments. Broadway has now closed down for at least a few weeks. Do you support these measures and should they be more extensive . These measures are essential at this moment, until the time point comes where the new cases wanes or we have a vaccine. Right now, these are the tools that we have. They are imperfect but highly valuable and highly effective if applied early. So i do support these measures and ive been moving ive been encouraged to see that government and private sector are working together to make the right decisions, to cancel Mass Gatherings and to encourage i worked in the 2009 h1n1. Paul okay. The pandemic. And theres a very different a difference in how we handled those measures back then. We understand they have a role to play, theyre helpful, beneficial. Theres Technology Today that can really support a lot of the workforce, not all, but a lot of the workforce to maintain the social distancing while keeping businesses open. So its very different than what it was like in 2009. Paul what kind of length are we talking about here for social distancing . Are we talking about a week . Are we talking about a month . Are we talking about two, three months . I think we need to be prepared that this is going to last for many, many more months. Paul many, many more months . Youre not going to have any big public gatherings for that long . Its possible that we are going to have to curtail those for that that long. Its a respiratory virus. Its easily transmitable. And if we do not apply these measures, its possible that well see a resurgence in the number of cases. Paul we want to prevent that kind of reser jens. We dont know yet, do we, whether it goes away in the summer months. We dont. Im hopeful that that might be the case. That it will alleviate some of the pressure if the weather has a beneficial impact on the trans transmisability so we flatten the curve with our actions, also due to the weather its a possibility. A lot of these viruses exhibit what we call seasonality. But its still to be determined. Paul thank you very much for coming in. Very helpful for our viewers. Appreciate it. When we come back, as President Trump attempts to calm an anxious nation, our panel weighs in on the administrations response to the Health Crisis so im your 70lb st. Bernard puppy, and my lack of impulse control, is about to become your problem. Ahh no, come on. I saw you eating poop earlier. Hey my focus is on the road, and thats saving me cash with drivewise. Whos the dummy now . Whoof whoof so get allstate where good drivers save 40 for avoiding mayhem, like me. Sorry hes a baby can we go get some ice cream . Alright, we gotta stop here first. From smarter atms, to after hours video tellers comcast business is connecting thousands of banks to technology that turns everyday transactions into extraordinary experiences. Hi there. How are you . Do you have any lollipops in there . laughing no, sorry. Were helping all kinds of businesses go beyond customer expectations. How can we help you . But when i started seeing things, i didnt know what was happening. So i kept it in. He started believing things that werent true. I knew something was wrong. But i didnt say a word. During the course of their disease around 50 of people with parkinsons may experience hallucinations or delusions. But now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. The only fda approved medicine. Proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinsons. Dont take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. Nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementiarelated psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinsons disease. Nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. Tell your doctor about any changes in medicines youre taking. The most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. We spoke up and it made all the difference. Ask your parkinsons specialist about nuplazid. Weve taken some bold steps. We took the original boldest step of all when we closed very early with china. That helped us save thousands of lives. And we went very early with europe and i think that will likewise be very good. Paul President Trump thursday touting his decision to ban travel from china and now from europe as the administration scrambles to take steps to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Lets bring in wall street journal columnist, da dan henninger, kim strassel and bill mcgern. Dan, big speech by the president in the oval office where he tried to reassure americans. Did it accomplish that . I think it may have accomplished it. Between the time he gave it and the time people went to bed, but then thursday happened and we had this just extraordinary number of closings, sports leagues canceling, one after another, all day long. Institutions being shut down across new york city, across the country, the governor of ohio closing schools. I think by the end of the day thursday, the American People were pretty beaten down by the coronavirus psychologically. So i think it got to the point where the white house now i think has to consider whether there isnt a role for them to provide more daily leadership, guidance from the specialists that the president appointed, whether its mike pence, Anthony Fauci of the National Health institute, to reassure the American People where we are going at the moment from one day to the next. Paul the focus, the president in the speech really focused on travel bans and said this has been crucial to limiting the exposure here. But as dan suggested and as these closings show, i think the real danger here is the domestic spread now and in my view that speech really didnt address that adequately and the whole process of social distancing that were seeing and thats going to have to take place. Well, dan just said weve got to listen to the scientists. It was notable that Anthony Fauci was in front of congress this week and asked about the european travel ban, did point out that 70 of new infections worldwide are coming from europe and that about 30 of the states are dealing with infections because of people who had traveled from the couldnt then. So thats continent. Thats a real aspect. In that regard, fauci himself said the travel ban was merited. Youre talking about the fact of Community Spread now. Thats also alongside also a growing issue and that gets to the question of testing and seeing who is out there and then isolating them and trying to flatten that curve. Paul bill, what marks do you give the government kind of at large here so far . I mean, obviously the biggest mistake looks like in retrospect is the cdcs mistake on its test kits and not getting them out early enough. Yeah. I mean, look, i think they screwed that up and there will be other screwups. I think thats generally the way crisis works with government. The initial response, and i think in all this, dan was mentioning the day after all these closings happened, im not sure that was because the president didnt reassure them. We want people to socially isolate. The problem that we have is we dont know the risk because we dont know the real numbers. Dr. Fauci said that yesterday in testimony, one doctor was talking about 70 million, 150 million americans getting infected. Its a possibility. He said whatever model you have, you can get whatever results you want. Its kind of like the solutions are so broad now because we dont know the risk, its like applying for a mortgage and you dont know your salary or the price of the house. Paul do you think these decisions, which are huge, weve never had theyve ended whole sports seasons, theres essentially no sports going on, competition going on in the united states. Okay. Do you support this . Yes. Because i dont know what the better alternative is. People are i think in retrospect, we might find they were too broad and so forth. Paul you would rather see err on that side than see these people weigh the risks and do it themselves. Weve seen numbers flatten in china. We dont know, is that just the general pattern of the virus or is it because china took these drastic steps to contain it. Paul dan . Well, you know, part of the problem here is there is a kind of panic that has set in about the coronavirus. Paul right. And theres a sense at which people are equating it with the bbubonic plague where everybody died. Most people are not going to die if they get the coronavirus. The at risk population is older people and those with underlying illnesses. The issue is, what is the rate of infection. How many people in that atrisk population could conceivably end up dying. And we dont know what the answer to that is. For the rest of the country, these athletes, younger people, they will get sick, two weeks later they will get better, then they will have immunity. I think maybe that sort of thing has to be better explained by the government. Were doing all this to try to prevent the risk in the case that the mortality rate turns out to be very high. We just dont know yet. But most people are not going to die from this virus. Paul kim, do you think the white house needs to do more, not necessarily the president , but mike pence, just to educate the public about the extent of this . Oh, absolutely. Look, i want to give credit, andrew cuomo, the governor of new york, hes been doing daily briefings. The guy is very calm. He made the point that dan just made, saying look, for 80 of people theyll selfresolve when they have this issue. We need to figure out who has it so we can protect vulnerable populations. We need to get statistics and numbers from the white house on a daily basis too. Paul thanks, kim. When we come back, a roller coaster ride on wall street as the markets react to coronavirus fears.

This is not a financial crisis. This is just a temporary moment of time that we will overcome together as a nation and as a world. Paul a volatile week on wall street as coronavirus fears bring an end to the longest ever bull market for u. S. Stocks. Investors worried about the toll that a growing list of shutdowns, closings and cans considerations will take on the cans lagses will take on the cancellations will take on the u. S. Economy. Thanks for coming in, jason. Thanks for having me. Paul the market is repricing growth prospects, no question. Thats right. Paul are we looking at a recession. I think the chances are probably better than 50 50 that you do get a recession. I would say the size tha of the stimulus you get will probably determine how deep it goes. Right now, my own opinion is that theres a good chance it will be vshaped where you get a better than expected rebound in the second half of the year or the Fourth Quarter but i do think paul for the next two quarters. For the next two quarters you have pretty severe shutdown of the economy and something that looks like a recession. It could snap back quickly if appropriate measures are taken by the federal government. Paul i think for anybody who was alive in 2008, the comparison is uh, oh, are we there again. This time, going in the circumstances were different. Banks are better capitalized, corporations have pretty good cash reserves and the consumer was feeling good. So that helps us kind of plow through this . Theres no two ways about it the worst thing you could say about the consumer going into this, it almost couldnt have gotten much better. Unemployment rate was low, wages were rising, you have a strong had a strong stock market, savings rate was actually quite high and you add to that Lower Oil Prices and pickup in refi activity, all of those things should bolster the consumer as we go throughout the next couple months. And the consumers going into this in a strong way. The Banking System as you mentioned, if anything is overcapitalized and one of the things i would argue in terms of some sort of response here would be easing some of the capital requirements. Paul so they can do more lending . Yeah. The problem is, you have all this money, the cap pal requirements are such that its difficult to get the money into a place where the banks feel comfortable lending it. I would argue that more regulatory easing on the part of banks, for banks, would be appropriate. Paul where do you see potential financial weaknesses, i mean, that could create some systemic problems . I think the oil patch is one, obviously, with the collapse in prices. But where else . Do you worry about Corporate Bonds . Do you worry about muni bonds. One of the issues with keeping rates so long for so long, you created an everyone gets a trophy cost of capital, a private equity boom. In some ways, im more worried about the nonbank banks. Paul they dont have capital requirements. Theyre largely unregulated. The regulated entities are in great shape, the somewhat nonregulated entities, youre not quite sure, not sure where the bodies are buried. That worries me a little bit. Its large enough so it can. I think its clear a lot of private companies are drawing down revolving credit lines, the money markets will be tested. Paul lets talk about the response, Federal Reserve came in with liquidity for the treasury markets this week, next week is their meeting. What do you want to see from the fed. I want them to see ease aggressively. Paul theyre already at 1 . The problem is, paul, is that if financial conditions tighten enough, the fed almost has no choice. You cant have a situation where the fed funds rate is above the 10 year treasury yield. Thats an implicit tightening. I take no pleasure in this. I would be all for riding this out. But i would say this is a time where you probably want to the cost of overreacting are quite low compared to under reacting. Paul i know the market suggests its going to be close to zero. Expect that. Paul should they open up liquidity facilities, authority, so all comers can come with good collateral. In my opinion, again, the risks of underreacting are so much greater than the risk of overreacting. The fed is looking to get inflation for the past 11 years. All Central Banks are looking to get inflation for the last 11 years. The only risk in overdoing it in terms of regulatory or Monetary Policy is you get inflation later on and that can be withdrawn. Of course, once these things are placed, its hard to take it back. In my opinion, this is the time. There are times when emergency measures are needed. This wouldnt be a bad dime to paul on the fiscal side, the president talking about a payroll tax cut. I have to tell you that we tried that in my view in 2011 when barack obama was doing it. Didnt have much of an effect at all. It would put more money in the pockets of consumers. If theyre at home, where are they going to spend it . Again, i would also say theres obviously a political aspect to this as well. Paul its an Election Year. Its an Election Year many i think its probably unrealistic to expect people to really stand in the pocket, a lot of profiles of occurring in washington during a period in which its cliche, but it is unprecedented. I would imagine eventually one way or the other the stock market will be the vigilante for what is the appropriate fiscal response. Paul if they dont like the response, theyre going to sell off. Sell off. Even from these levels. And in my opinion theres real value in the market if youre a longterm investor. I wouldnt say the selloff is over. I think the stock market is going to be an important indicator here. The president by all accounts payings a lot of pays a lot of attention to the stock markets. Which i think is good. It can give you good information, especially in times when theres lack of transparency, whats happening in the economy. Paul you have the Good Housekeeping seal of stimulus approval.

Com paul as the house and senate scramble to pass an emergency aid package for americans affected by the coronavirus, our panel is back with a look at what should and shouldnt be in any final deal. Were back with dan henninger, kim strassel and bill mcgern. Lets take the Public Health provisions first which seem to be first on the agenda. What are you looking for that would be helpful and what would you like to see out . Well, look, in some ways this is pretty simple. We need to make sure that there is adequate money going for the things that we need to ramp up our testing facilities, to get people out and to make sure that everyone is isolated. Then the next level is what are we really talking about here, were talking about people, individuals who may need relief of some form or factor because theyve lost their job, because theyre in an affected industry or because they hav because theyve lost their job there in an affected industry or because they have to take sick leave either to take care of themselves or take care of others. The focus tier should be getting money to those individuals quickly and the good news is we have a model for that already. Unemployment insurance or Disaster Relief grant. That is really what the bulk of this needs to be focused on. Paul might view cam, is the same as i worry that this becomes a mandate for companies, for family leave, that will become permanent because that burdens employers moving forward. Something like 70 of americans already have some sort of sick leave. You know, thats exactly right. This is a work in progress with an unprecedented crisis. Everybody iss trying to respond to, businesses at the moment are trying to deal with whether their employees should be at work or at home. Getting people to work at we are going to figure out how well that works, who you can keep on the job who you cant. Small businesses who cannot afford to do that sort of thing. Think wewe are talking about here, as kim was suggesting, ewe want to get money into the healthcare system. But we are trying not guaranteeing payments to vendors along supply chain or providing equipment and so forth. Butio when you talk about paid leave, there is a real question on whether the democrats, nancy pelosi and the rest of them a are trying to achieve a goal that theyve been after for a long time which is guaranteed sick leave permanently. And i think the republicans have got to be careful about making that distinction. Paul the calculation on the house is there to skin a jam trunk because they cant afford to block anything like this. Theyre gonna try to stick into some things. A crisis is a terrible thing to waste. They also went to look like they are doing something. Nancy policies made accommodating noises, again the problem is not just doing something but doing something efficiently. And not setting up a structural thing, that turns out to be something very different. Period remember tarp, how it started whether or not you agreed with it was a lot more innocent than how tarp was used, especially once the obama admits ration came in. At least thats conaway. [laughter] paul thats republican bottom line it is an emergency and therefore all of these issues should, be sunset it. Kim, economic stimulus are they all scrambling to find out whats good . The president talks about a payroll cut i know the Senate Republicans are very wary of that. Do you have any favored stimulus ideas for the economy . Think the democrats a very wary of that as well too. Lets not forget there is an element of politicking going on here as well. It is an Election Year, people are also talking about ideas that might be helpful to them as they gear up for the 2020 election. The reality is, a lot of the measures that people have talked about when they talk about stimulus for the economy, its not really clear theyre going to do anything in the short o term. I would offer one warning, which is stuff we should definitely be steering clear of is any kind of proposal that does not kick in for six months or two years. Remember obama Shovel Ready Projects that werent online for eightmy years. If we are really talking about stimulating the economy, it needs to be immediate and effective. When you do that you are hemmed in a lot more. Paul bill, will have a lot of time but wonder things President Trump to do is cut the tariffs. Theyll be a tax cut for businesses and consumers. We should do that kind of a structural change that would have an immediate effect on people. Look, the dilemma is not everyone can work at home. There is going to be a lot of damage by these moves. It may be necessary damage to control this. Paul by the social distancing . Bad and working at home. Not everyone can work at home. These guys that work in a restaurant, theres a lot of damage to ordinary people. Paul they need some help.

The coronavirus is not have a political affiliation. It will attack republicans, independents and democrats alike. It will not discriminate based on national origin, race, gender, or zip code. It will touch people in positions of power as well as the most vulnerable in our society. Stu met joe biden acting very much like the democratic president ial nominee on thursday as he outlined his plan to combat the coronavirus. The former Vice President coming one step closer to the nomination on tuesday with the string of primary wins including in michigan, a battleground state that will be critical in november. Lets bring in Fox News Contributor as he served as a Senior Adviser to president george w. Bush, welcome karl peretz was a democratic nomination all over except for the shouting customer. There is still a lot of primaries to go with got about 55 of the delegates yet to select. But biden has to win, less than a majority of those delegates in order to have the first ballot majority, Bernie Sanders needs to win about 56 of the delegates yet to be elected in order to have the first ballot majority. In the delegates that are in the hands of other candidates, bloomberg, worn, and to a lesser extent klobuchar, buttigieg, and are likely to end up in bidens hands. Hes got a much smoother path. Next week is not going to be a good week for Bernie Sanders, he lost all four of the states to Hillary Clinton in 2016, so as a result, his path is going to get steeper and the path in joses gonna get easier. Those are big states lets talk about what happened here. Why do you think the Democratic Party rallied around biden so fast, it was simply extraordinary. The comeback wasnt just the facts are we really went the guy who can beat donald trump and we dont think Bernie Sanders can do it . I think its more complex than that. Its sort of involved and that people are looking at joe biden saying hes a traditional democrat. But it doesnt look like he can win anywhere. Looking at bernie and singing singing to my hearts, but he is really out there. And the weeks leading into South Carolina primary, you may remember the week of the South Carolina primary is when bernie defended vito castro by saying he had a literacy program. So all of the cumulative effect of medicare for all, both in private healthcare insurance, that increase in spending, blah blah blah cause democrats to say okay, my concern about him are real, then on that saturday in a dramatic move, biden won South Carolina not just by a little but by a lot, people said he can win the primaries and im gonna go with him. I think the key event was a cumulative effect of all these leftwing views of Bernie Sanders a lot of traditional democrats bridge even too far for me. Then he crystallizes it in that week that cause people to pause. They really thought he is leftwing. s a lot of democrats want sanders out especially if he does not do well on tuesday. But sanders says no, im staying in. And he laid down, what i interpret as sort of terms of my support for joe biden this week. Are you going to support medicare for all . You can at least promise putting in a deal on Student Loans et cetera et cetera et cetera. If you are biden, if you are a counselor to would you advise him to react to that list . We would start off by recognizing that bernie is not a conventional politician and he is not a party man. Hes never run for any office as president as a democrat. Every other office he has run for it in most cases one, is an independent democratic socialist. He is immune to party appeals. I love james garber cummings apollo mimo and he goes on and says shut this puppy down its over, thats just exactly the wrong message to the Bernie Sanders people. They think the system is rigged and you have to do this because party loyalty, its time to get behind joe biden, the more they do that the more sanders papers are gonna bow up and stay in. Not just through the july milwaukee convention, but they are going to do what they did like some of them did in 2016 and defects. If you are joe biden how do you get those voters onboard without accommodating the sanders agenda . What you do is you keep your focus aimed at donald trump, find the point that Donald Trumps record and persona that appeal to those people and go hard after donald trump. Make this the general election battle early. Sort of because those democrats a satellite bernie, i like what hes doing, and maybe biden is not going to endorse everything bernie wants, but you know what . Biden is right. A, b, c, d, e, neff even i is a loosely affiliated Leftwing Democrat should be biting for joe biden. So keep the focus on trump and do not, do not sort of say ive got to appease bernie by agreeing with things that are going to complicate my life with suburbanites in the fall. If you go down that list of seven or eight questions at bernie lay down, a bunch of them are going to be problematic form as are some of the things that biden has already said. Because bernies gravitational pull in the field grew everybody laughed. He is going to regret saying im in favor of free healthcare for illegal aliens. He is clearly driven to dubai bernie. Paul so avoid any substantive accommodation but focus on trump, thanks for coming in. s before we come back Bernie Sanders acknowledging hes losing the debate over electability but vows to continue the fight. The panel continues to watch the Bernie Sanders strategy and see why stays in the race. So poll after poll, including exit polls show a Strong Majority of the American People can we go get some ice cream . Alright, we gotta stop here first.

Ends march 15th today i say to the democratic establishment in order to win in the future, you need to win the voters who represent the future of our country and you must speak to the issues of concern to them. Bernie sanders going to soldier on after very supporting primary night. He is acknowledging hes losing the delicate account but insisting he is winning the generational debate by appealing to young voters and the issues they care about. We are back with dan heninger, kim stossel, and bill mcgurn. What does bernie want, bill question asked to make you once his medicare for ali and his party the problem is hes not the winner he is in the role of the minority and lets say israel trying to form a coalition because they dont have the majority, but they have enough leverage in a democrat challenge is to not have him send his people out. They have created this insurgency and make sure they stick with the democrats in the fall. So you also have to say for bernie he has had some bad luck in the run up to South Carolina most thought joe bidens campaign was dead so he was treated very gently in the debates and the joe one very big in South Carolina, grew bigger than expected with a good speech and then super tuesday came without bernie having a chance to go out and debate him again. And then another week passed with no direct oneonone for him. So joe is been pretty lucky there. Now, hes going to win, but he needs to not set this insurgency off. Its kind of after world war ii getting those japanese to come down from the hill. And reintegrate. Paul so kim, joe biden obviously does not want to make many ideological concessions to sanders, it would create vulnerabilities in the fall for him. What about the dilemma of getting sanders voters, because the implicit threat from sanders is you dont want to be like Hillary Clinton, she could not turn out those voters in the fall and she lost. So dont turn out like hillary, joe. So your last guest made an excellent point. If you are joe biden knew go out there and you say its time for you to get out, youre done, and just concede. All you do is alienate those voters. So actually biden has probably endued been doing the right thing. Hes been complementing them even in this speech saying hes really appreciate Bernie Sanders voters and their energy and enthusiasm that they bring to this race. And i think the smart answer, you continue on, you make your appointed points of distinction between bernie when you go up on this debates, and you are out on the stump. But you dont get nasty, and when bernie if the calculation is right of his own gravity, as a failing, you havent necessarily alienated those voters and they made rally around you. Paul what he expects, dan, from sundays debate . That is very interesting question. Bernies speech the other day was delusional. You can argue it is essentially over. He is not going to overtake joe biden. All things being equal, what is not equal here . Whats not equal as every day of the week joe biden has a new adventure. I think it is entirely possible that sunday, Bernie Sanders is going to go in there and really lean heavily on joe biden. Is going to antagonize him, hes going to make him lose it in the hopes that biden literally melts down. In a way bernie is going to be the proxy for what donald trump would be in a debate against joe biden. And if joe biden gets flustered and starts not making sense it is contradicting himself, bernie, the democratic electorate organization wow, maybe we are making a mistake conceding the nomination to joe biden. Bernie, just will not quit. I think this is one of the tactics hes going to adopt on sunday night. He is not conventional candidate for this. I will sale on the striking thing, we all thought that coming into this primary bernie would be stronger because he ran last time. It looks like hes weaker. Paul his coalition is narrower. Joe biden has won twice as many state primaries and territories as bernie does. Is not clear to me he will even do as wellin the popular vote. So in some instances its a weakness. And joe biden has a big strength that Hillary Clinton did not. The africanamerican vote and appeals in the suburbs to these urban women. He doesnt need the bernie faction, he needs them not to split off. I think he has a lot of strength. Paul kim, what about the biden shes putting together an michigan and other states. Discuss suburban women, africanamericans, older americans. He did pretty good beating bernie with workingclass union voters. Is that the kind of coalition that could be donald trump in the swing states in the fall . Thats exactly why you see these Democratic Leaders endorsing biden p they look at pennsylvania, michigan, the states that trump wanted an import number of voters that allowed him to win the overall election. Those of the people biden is doing well with two. Paul okay weve got to take do you recall, not long ago we would walk on the sidewalk all around the wind blows we would only hold on to let go blow a kiss into the sun we need someone to lean on blow a kiss into the sun all we needed somebody to lean on all we need is someone to lean on lets be honest. Quitting smoking is hard. Like, quitting every monday hard. Quitting feels so big. So try making it smaller, and youll be surprised at how easily starting small can lead to something big. Start stopping with nicorette. Starting small can lead to something big. Apps except work. Rywhere. Why is that . Is it because people love filling out forms .

Kim, first year. Paul it is a sad reality that whenever there is a crisis it does not take long for the vultures to arrive. My miss is going to a florida trial firm whose filed lawsuits against princes cruise lines for causing Emotional Distress to those passengers who are quarantined off of california. Never mind that these passengers got on the vote when there is lots of news of the virus already. I know people are anxious, i know theyre frustrated about some of this is rolling. But maybe we could all come together instead of suing. Paul bill,. My miss is vladimir putin. His term would have to run out in 2024, so what you do if your flatware prudent . You push to change the constitution. The new proposal would allow him to serve two more terms of six years. He is 67 now. So if this goes through, the only russian leader and all of history to serve the top longer than prudent is peter the great. [laughter] see my paul, theres only been one thing i never but his mind this week and that is the coronavirus. But not in st.
