Transcripts For CNNW Early Start With Christine Romans And Laura Jarrett 20200513

Health officials in l. A. County, home to 10 Million People, signaled reopening will be a slow process. Some stayathome orders could last well into the summer. Its just a reminder of how delicate and fragile this time is but to not freak out when you hear a scientist say that its still going to be here and were still going to be living under health orders, all of us in america, for many, many months, if not into next year. But at the same time, it really puts that in our hands to know our compliance with these orders helps us take steps forward, as we did this week in los angeles and as we hope to do a little bit with some more baby steps this coming week, too. Health officials later clarified, restrictions will be gradually relaxed, guided by science, but that wont be enough for some schools to open, even by fall. Cnns Stephanie Elam has more from los angeles now. Reporter christine and laura, with all certainty. Those are the words that the director for Public Health for the county of los angeles used when she said we can expect to see the stayathome order here extended for three more months. Now, it was set to expire this upcoming friday, but she says this is based upon the data. So not really surprised when right now we have more than 33,000 cases and theres more than 69,000 cases in the entire state. So, almost half of the cases are here in this county. But she did say that she would hope to see some easing of those restrictions during that time period. To make that case, today the beaches in l. A. County are opening up for exercise, for recreation, but youve got to keep moving. You cannot sunbathe and you do have to wear a mask, unless, of course, youre in the ocean. And another idea of what things may look like in the fall. We are hearing from the Cal State University system, which is one of the largest in the country. Theyre saying their fall semester will be virtual. They will be Teaching Online for almost all of their classes. This is going to affect 23 universities and some 480,000 students. Laura and christine . All right, stephanie. Thank you for that. The chancellor of the cal state system outlining some exceptions to that Virtual University plan. He says inperson classes would include nursing students who need Clinical Training to earn their licenses. He says statewide, the changes may last well beyond the fall. This pandemic, which isnt going to last a month or two or even for another six months or twelve months. This is an approach where we think about this over the course of the next year or two. How do we do our part as the largest fouryear university in the country . L. A. Mayor Eric Garcetti supports the decision to stay virtual for the fall term, and he says k12 schools in l. A. Should prepare to stick with online classes as well. And now the head of the university of california system Janet Napolitano is urging a total suspension of admission testing requirements, like the s. A. T. And the a. C. T. , until 2024. Well, the future of school in america remains a major concern during this pandemic. The issue of sending kids back to school came up during a Senate Hearing tuesday and led to this exchange between senator rand paul, who is a doctor, and the leading Infectious Disease expert, dr. Anthony fauci. As much as i respect you, dr. Fauci, i dont think youre the end all. I dont think youre the one person that gets to make a decision. We can listen to your advice, but there are people on the other side saying theres not going to be a surge and that we can safely open the economy. And the facts will bear this out. But if we keep kids out of school for another year, whats going to happen is the poor and underprivileged kids who dont have a parent thats able to teach them at home are not going to learn for a full year. I have never made myself out to be the end all and only voice of this. Im a scientist, a physician, and a Public Health official. I give advice according to the best scientific evidence. We dont know everything about this virus, and we really better be very careful, particularly when it comes to children. I think wed better be careful if we are not cavalier in thinking that children are completely immune to the deleterious effects. Some students in quebec are already back in school with desks far apart. Some rooms closed off entirely and teachers in masks and gloves. Fauci just yesterday said its unlikely a vaccine or treatment will be ready before kids are supposed to go back to school this fall. At that Senate Hearing, a lot of Health Issues addressed, including a vaccine and testing. One lawmaker used this graphic to drive home a point on testing. The u. S. And south korea reported their first cases on the same day, but their approach to testing yielded very different results on jobs and human life. Lauren fox has more from capitol hill. Reporter well, laura and christine, the hearing yesterday on capitol hill looked very different than what weve seen in the past. You had the chairman, the ranking member, and all four officials testifying doing so remotely. So, just a sign of the times. But the message, largely the same from dr. Anthony fauci, who argued that the u. S. , while its trending in the right direction in terms of containing the coronavirus, it doesnt have total control just yet. And he offers a stark warning to states looking to reopen, arguing that they need to be following those federal guidelines to ensure that theyre opening their states smartly and safely, and to ensure that they dont cause undue death or suffering or prolong the economic crisis caused by this virus. Now, democrats questioned the trump administrations response so far as well as targeted the president , but it wasnt just democrats asking tough questions. We treaded water during february and march, and as a result, by march 6th, the u. S. Had completed just 2,000 tests, whereas south korea had conducted more than 140,000 tests. So, partially as a result of that, they have 256 deaths and we have almost 80,000 deaths. I find our testing record nothing to celebrate whatsoever. Reporter mitt romney, a senator and a republican from utah, someone who has sparred with the president in the past, argued that the u. S. Had nothing to be proud of when it came to testing and said that more needs to be done to ensure adequate testing is available if the u. S. Wants to get back to work or school any time soon. Laura and christine . Thanks to lauren fox for that report. Meanwhile, a key coronavirus model frequently cited by the white house is increasing its death toll projections again. The imag model now forecasts 447,000 deaths in the u. S. By early august, 147,000, doubling the projections from late april, which has already been eclipsed. So why do the numbers keep going up . Well, the director behind the model says the answer is simple. We originally had thought that people would go the distance, keep social distancing in place right through to the end of may. But whats happened is that states have relaxed early. People have heard the message. They have gotten out. They have become more mobile. Theyre having more contact. As more people emerge from their homes, a new cnn poll finds most americans would be uncomfortable returning to their regular routines today, but theres a clear partisan divide on this. The majority of republicans say they are comfortable returning to normal right now with the majority of democrats stressing caution. All right, Washington State will be using hundreds of National Guard members as part of a new Contact Tracing program as more businesses open there. People who test positive will be asked to identify others they have recently been near, but the governor says guard members will not have authority to compel people to help. And its success will depend on both the state and local Public Health officials, and most importantly, individuals and families who will need to be committed to this effort. Of course, Contact Tracing like this relies heavily on public buyin, and Public Health experts note that even a few, even just a few super spreaders who refuse to follow the rules, they can spread the virus widely. The cdc is alerting doctors to look for a syndrome that is attacking children. It could be related to covid19. The symptoms are persistent fever, inflammation, and poor organ function. There are also symptoms that are similar to shock, by the way. New york state is reporting more than 100 possible cases of this with Governor Andrew Cuomo confirming three children have now died, including a 5yearold and a 7yearold boy. All right, coronavirus is dramatically changing what you pay for things. Gas is cheap, eggs are expensive. Lets start with that grocery bill. Grocery prices jumped the most in 46 years in april. Staples like eggs, meats and cereal are more expensive as americans stock up on food because of the coronavirus. The price for eggs climbed more than 16 , the biggest increase for any single food item, but Everything Else is getting cheaper. Clothes, cars, airfare. Consumer prices overall declined for the second straight month in april, down by 0. 8 , marking the biggest drop since december 2008. The drop was primarily because of falling gas and energy prices. Gasoline prices down 20 . Now, falling prices might seem like a good thing, but its actually a bad sign for the economic recovery and deflation, as its known, laura, can lead to more job losses down the road, so watch this space. Such a great point. You might think, you know, low gas price is a good thing, but its something to watch, certainly, there. Well, still ahead, returning to normal could mean dinner and a show, but how much could that cost . And when could it happen . [narrator] meet the ninja foodi air fry oven. Make familysized meals fast, and because its a ninja foodi, it can do things no other oven can, like flip away. The ninja foodi air fry oven, the oven that crisps and flips away. To give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you dont. [grunting noise] ill take that. Yeeeeeah 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar ensure max protein. Now available in twelvecount. Stock up today some restaurants are starting to open, but the prices may give you sticker shock. And when will the bright lights of broadway get switched back on . Cnn has reporters covering all the developments. Reporter im ryan young outside columbus, ohio. And here, the state hasnt seen 14 Straight Days of dropoff when it comes to coronavirus cases like the cdc recommends before opening businesses back up, but that hasnt stopped the state from allowing retail shops to open their doors. Its been a tough seven weeks. Some businesses like this one havent had their doors open. Theyve had to lay off employees. So, this was a welcome open. You can see social distancing markings all across the floor here to be ready for customers. They also have hand sanitizing stations. This doesnt stop just here. Across the state, theyre getting ready for more openings. On friday, we know restaurants will be allowed to do outdoor seating. Barbershops, spas and salons will be able to open. Im Dianne Gallagher in atlanta. Wholesale beef prices have hit the highest level ever recorded, according to the usda. And as the country reopens, meaning restaurants are, too, an already struggling industry is now facing new challenges. Barbecue owner in tennessee tells us that hes leaving brisket off the menu this week because its just too expensive, much to the disappointment of his customers. At a burger bar in virginia, the owner tells us that he can only last about one more week with the price of ground beef before hes going to have to increase prices for his customers. He said that every time he sees a light at the end of the tunnel, it seems to go out. Reporter im paula newton in ottawa, where canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says stronger measures may be needed at the u. S. canada border going forward. He says this because as the states begin to reopen, canada needs to show extreme caution given the level of outbreak in the united states. Right now, by mutual agreement, that u. S. canada border remains closed to all nonessential traffic until may 21st. Both countries are trying to decide whether or not to lift those restrictions, but if they do, there could be temperature checks and medical history checks for those coming into canada. Reporter im erica hill in new york, where the Broadway League has announced theaters in this city will remain closed through at least september 6th. This impacts 31 broadway productions. Eight of those were new shows in development. Broadly theaters shut down on march 12th after an usher for two shows tested positive for the virus. As for the city itself, new york city mayor bill de blasio says we are still weeks away from reopening. The first chance to look at doing something differently would come in june, but only if there are indicators of consistent progress. Thanks so much to all of our correspondents for those great reports. Hundreds of thousands of casino and resort workers across nevada expected to follow new Safety Measures once hotels open their doors again. Mgm resorts becoming the fourth vegas casino to announce a reopening plan. It will require temperature checks and masks for employees, but only recommends similar measures for guests there. The plan also includes changes to the casino floor, such as spacing out slot machines, suspending buffet service, and reducing the number of players at each card table. The measures are similar to ones announced by wynn resorts, the venetian, and caesars. The governor of arizona giving a green light for pro sports to resume in the state starting friday. Governor doug ducey said its a limited reopening without fans. Teams would be required to follow Public Health protocols and guidelines. So far, none of the major sports leagues has announced when they will return. A number of baseball teams hold spring training in arizona, and the governor said they may be able to accommodate teams that normally play elsewhere. The governor of south dakota is offering a compromise to end a dispute with the Cheyenne River sioux tribe. She says no checkpoints will be allowed on state highways, but theres no objection to them on tribal roads. The tribes chairman says hes amazed the state is focused on this issue, and hes preparing a response. On friday, governor kristi noem threatened to take the tribe to court to remove those checkpoints, which were set up to protect members from covid19. With millions of americans working from home temporarily, twitter has decided to make the setup permanent for some employees, if they want to. The decision highlights how measures to deal with the pandemic could lead to a new normal in america. Twitter has not specified which jobs will qualify. The Company Tells cnn the experience of the past few months has proven that working from home can be successful on a large scale. It will be interesting to see which Companies Continue to do that more and more. Well, the pandemic is also putting a strain on facebooks content review system. The company says its worked with more than 70 factchecking partners to put 50 million factcheck labels on posts. Facebook is also depending on more artificial intelligencebased content moderation than ever before because it had to send so many people home during this pandemic. Ceo Mark Zuckerberg says since march, facebook has removed more than 2. 5 million pieces of scam related to the sale of masks, hand sanitizer, wipes, and test kits for the virus. The Democratic National committee moving to allow for virtual voting by delegates for its nominating convention in milwaukee. A dnc chairman tom perez says the rules Committee Vote is an important first step toward giving them maximum flexibility. So, what does the partys candidate think of a possible Virtual Convention . Well, i hope im going to be in milwaukee, and i hope were going to have it beyond virtual. But look, we have to follow the science.

More than 10,000 new cases now confirmed for the 11th straight day, the second most cases worldwide. The deepening crisis has now reached the upper levels of the kremlin. Cnns Matthew Chance is live with the very latest. Matthew, weve now learned that putins longtime spokesman has the virus . Reporter yeah. Its not the first member of Vladimir Putins inner circle thats been infected with coronavirus. The Prime Minister last month had to be hospitalized because he tested positive for the virus as well. But Dmitry Peskov, the spokesperson for Vladimir Putin, is perhaps the official that is closest to the russian president. Hes gone into hospital yesterday. And it raises questions about, you know, is the russian president himself healthy . Now, Dmitry Peskov before he was hospitalized said, look, i havent had a facetoface meeting with Vladimir Putin for at least a month, you know. But we know that Vladimir Putin does have these oneonone meetings, although he does most of his business these days by video call. So again, its raised concerns about the health of the russian president. That, of course, as russia registers an 11th consecutive day of an increase in Coronavirus Infections of more than 10,000 people. It now has more than 240,000 confirmed cases. And the predictions are by officials, thats going to go a lot higher than that. But it makes it already the second highest toll in the world after the united states, that in a country which is straining under its Health System is straining under the burden of the pandemic. Weve seen hospital fires in at least two locations over the past three or four days, six people killed, for instance, when the ventilators that were keeping them alive burst into flames and set the whole ward on fire. Hundreds of people had to be evacuated and put in other places. And so, it is a really difficult crisis still unfolding in russia, laura. Thank you so much for laying all that out, Matthew Chance in london for us. Secretary of state mike pompeo arriving overnight in israel wearing a red, white and blue mask as he came off the plane. He will meet with the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the knesset speaker benny gantz to discuss u. S. And israeli efforts fighting coronavirus. Lets bring in cnns oren liebermann. He is live in jerusalem. Oren . Reporter christine, secretary of state mike pompeo and his team said this trip was at the invitation of the israeli government. Certainly, of course, the timing unusual. Pompeo is the first foreign dignitary to visit israel since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, and this is a lightningfast trip. Hes on the ground for less than eight hours to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and to meet his National Unity government partner benny gantz. The meeting with netanyahu has already started. They gave short statements at the beginning. There wasnt any big announcement here. The topics pretty much what we expect them to be coronavirus, of course, iran, also, of course, and any attempts to move forward a Peace Process under the trump administrations vision for peace. It was netanyahu who mentioned this and said israels National Unity government, to be sworn in tomorrow, is a chance to advance that peace and security under the trump administrations vision. Pompeo did use the unit in his opening remarks to take a swipe at china. He thanked israel for being open and sharing information, unlike, he said, some other countries who are trying to hide information, saying they would discuss that country as well. Pompeo is now meeting netanyahu. Hell then meet with gants and then fly back. Perhaps the memorable image from this trip will be pompeo stepping off the plane with that red, white and blue mask, stepping onto the tarmac at tel avivs international airport. Here masks are required in public. So is a 14day quarantine for anyone entering the country, but in pompeos case, of course, that was skipped for this very quick trip. Yeah. Oren liebermann. Diplomacy in the era of covid. Thanks, oren. It hasnt received as much attention, but the devastation in latin america is growing by the day. Brazilian cities are burying rows of stacked coffins in mass graves. Hundreds in ecuador are searching for bodies of family members who went to hospitals but never came out alive. Latin america has confronted the crisis with far fewer resources than europe or the united states, forcing people from peru, venezuela, and elsewhere to trek miles to safer places. It could feel like grade school when flights resume on ryanair in july. Passengers will be required to get permission to use the bathroom. The irelandbased Budget Airline is implementing strict, new health and safety guidelines. That includes fewer checked bags, temperature checks at airport entries, and mask requirements for passengers and crew members. Early start continues right now. 10 Million People could be stuck at home in los angeles well into the summer. How it could spill over for jobs, relationships, and schools nationwide. Good morning. This is early start. Im laura jarrett. Nice to see you this morning. Im christine romans. It is 30 minutes past the hour. New signs some coronavirus restrictions are here for the long haul. Disappointing reality hitting southern california. Health officials in l. A. County, home to 10 Million People, signaled reopening will be a slow process. Some stayathome orders could last well into summer. Its just a reminder of how delicate and fragile this time is but to not freak out when you hear a scientist say that its still going to be here and were still going to be living under health orders, all of us in america, for many, many months, if not into next year. But at the same time, it really puts that in our hands to know our compliance with these orders helps us take steps forward, as we did this week in laveng and as we hope to do a little bit with more baby steps this week, too. Baby steps. Health officials clarified restrictions will be gradually relaxed, guided by science. But that wont be enough for some schools to open even by fall. Cnns Stephanie Elam has more for us from los angeles. Reporter christine and laura, with all certainty. Those are the words that the director of Public Health for the county of los angeles used when she said that we can expect to see the stayathome order here extended for three more months.

They will be Teaching Online for almost all of their classes. This is going to affect 23 universities and some 480,000 students. Laura and christine . All right, stephanie. Thanks for that. Well, the future of school in america remains a huge concern during this pandemic. The issue of sending kids back to school came up during a Senate Hearing tuesday and led to this exchange between senator rand paul, who is a doctor, and the leading Infectious Disease expert, dr.

Fauci yesterday said its unlikely a vaccine or treatment will be ready before kids are supposed to head back to school in the fall. House democrats unveiled a new Coronavirus Relief package with a price tag of more than 3 trillion. This would be a record. The legislation includes a new round of direct payments to americans worth up to 6,000 per family, more enhanced unemployment benefits, extends help for gig workers, and theres 1 trillion in there for state and local governments. The white house officials have called a fourth stimulus package premature. Republicans warn the bill is dead on arrival. On cnn last night, ron klain, the ebola czar under president obama, sent a message to republicans fixated on the economy. You can say were going to reopen every state, every business in the country, but if people get sick working at them, if people get sick patronizing them, if people are scared to go into them, then reopening them isnt going to really restart the economy. Democrats say help is needed right now. The Washington Post reports a new study estimates more than 100,000 Small Businesses have permanently closed since the pandemic was declared in march. The study projects at least 2 of Small Businesses are gone for good, laura. The House Rules Committee plans to move forward with a plan that would allow the chamber to operate remotely for the first time in history. The measure caps weeks of talks to change house rules and allow committees to conduct business virtually. It would also permit members to vote while away from washington during the coronavirus pandemic. The panel is scheduling a thursday Committee Meeting to approve the rules change and send it to the full house for consideration by this friday. Well, still ahead, children are usually the first to be taken care of in any crisis, but a new study has some dire predictions about the cost kids could pay in the coming months.

In germany, chancellor Angela Merkel will face questions today from parliament about efforts to contain the spread of coronavirus. Germany has seen a spike in virus cases as restrictions are eased. Cnns Fred Pleitgen is live in berlin. And that is the big question everyones asking around the world when you start to ease those restrictions, the virus comes back, what do you do . Reporter yeah, thats exactly the question that Angela Merkel is going to get again today as well. I think most germans, really, most people around the world, christine, really believe that germany has done a good job in trying to contain the virus and certainly keeping the death toll low, if you look at numbers. However, there are a lot of people questioning whether or not this country doesnt need to open quicker and how dangerous that might be, especially as this countrys economy continues to take some serious hits. And then if you look at the numbers, the German Center for Disease Control is sending out a message of warning, saying that the reproduction number for the Novel Coronavirus continues to hover at around one. They say that the decline in new infections that germany has been able to achieve over the past couple of weeks seems to be ebbing off and may have reached a plateau. So, at the same time, the germans are continuing to open their country up, there are certain things, however, that are not possible yet, like for instance, to open things like clubs and nightclubs. However, there are some germans who have come to a solution for that. Theyve initiated a nightclub in your car, where you can drive in, have a party there. Theres a deejay. Theres a sound system. And apparently, a lot of people are going to it. They are loving it. The club owner says its something that he came up with because he had to shutter his club and he believes that that is something that could be a model for at least the interim period. But of course, he also hopes that he can open up again fairly soon as well, christine. All right. Nightclub in your car. Thats a new one. Fred pleitgen for us. Thanks, fred. Everyone has to get creative. Yeah. Well, stayathome restrictions are being eased today across the united kingdom, but england, scotland, wales, and Northern Ireland are all taking slightly different approaches. And the British Government has spent the last two days simultaneously clarifying and muddying what Prime Minister Boris Johnson had announced on sunday. Nick paton walsh joins us live from london now. Do you get the sense, nick, that this confusion has been cleared up . You know, this has been sort of a messy start. Reporter yeah, i think to some degree it is now clear what people are expected to do. The question is, are they willing necessarily to go back to work, if they cant work from home, as is now the government advice . At the rush hour behind me, were told by staff theyre about 60 of what youd expect to be normal traffic here, but this is Kings Cross Station in central london. Let me just pause for a moment. Its silent, frankly, to some degree. So we havent got that massive sense of hubbub you would normally expect at a busy commuter area like this. And the mixed message visible to see. This is an old poster. The slogan is now, stay alert, control the virus and save lives. And thats left some people in the you can unclear exactly what the government wants them to do, but there have been, frank laep, pages now of detailed advice, saying to people, you can possibly meet somebody from outside your household, one person, so long as youre outdoors. And suggesting that possibly in the future their restrictions will relax more to enable households to perhaps meet in what they call a bubble. But today, were hearing from the government that you should not really be planning a summer holiday. You take a risk if you do that, they say, because they may change the travel restrictions backwards again if we see a second peak here. And the reason why the British Government is pushing out this advice, particularly here in england on the forefront, here in london, frankly, where the infection rate is still to be even lower than the 0. 9 that may be in other parts of the country maybe as low as 0. 5 here is the damage to the uk economy. 2 contraction in the First Quarter of this year, possibly graver in the second. Thats got everyone worried as to how long they can sustain the furlough system thats paying so much of peoples wages across the country who cant go to work. Back to you. Well, you can see a lot of people staying home there. That train station is empty. All right, nick paton walsh, thanks so much. So, children could pay a very heavy price for coronavirus. According to a new study, more than 6,000 kids could die every day because of Health Care Services that are strained by the pandemic. Countries in africa could be affected the most. Cnns David Mckenzie is live for us in johannesburg with more. What are we learning here . Reporter well, christine, this modeling is very disturbing. Its coming from unicef and Johns Hopkins university. They say up to 6,000 children a day could die in the next six months because of the indirect effects of covid19. You know, at the highest levels of projection, the worstcase scenario, more than a million children could die because of big disruptions to Health Systems and also lack of food because of just economies shutting down, being locked down and being adversely affected. Even the bestcase scenario, christine, they see more than 250,000 children could die because of these indirect effects. Theyre saying because of these numbers, they want policymakers to really look very closely at the way that they are trying to control the virus and be mindful that that cure could be worse than the virus itself, if not managed carefully. Nine out of the ten worstaffected countries in terms of excess Child Mortality could be in africa. And it really is one of the best news stories that people dont necessarily realize. Since 1990, Child Mortality under 5 has dropped massively across the world, especially in africa. And scientists worry that those gains could be lost as mothers and children cannot access clinics, cant get the lifesaving drugs, necessarily, because of restrictions, and especially cant access nutrition and food to help them thrive in those youngest ages. I think these numbers are incredibly important to Pay Attention to as people figure out what to do next with this virus pandemic. Christine . I agree. Very important. Very important angle to the story. David mckenzie, thank you so much for that. Well be right back. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. Whoohoo great tasting ensure with 9 grams of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients to support immune health. A new twist in the Michael Flynn case. A judge will allow legal challenges against the justice departments move to drop all charges against president trumps former National Security adviser. The decision means the judge could hear arguments that the dojs move was politically motivated. Flynn, as you know, originally pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi, but the justice departments about face last week led to criticism that attorney general bill barr had intervened to satisfy the president s political wishes. Barr denies it. President trumps effort to keep his tax returns and financial records under wraps is now in the hands of the u. S. Supreme court. The president s attorney pressing really hard for what hes calling temporary president ial immunity, arguing congressional subpoenas are simply too burdensome. Cnns Jessica Schneider has more now. Reporter laura and christine, a whirlwind array of momentous arguments unfolding over the phone over the course of 3 1 2 hours before the supreme court. The president s attorneys arguing that this is all just harassment by House Democrats and also saying that the president is immune from any criminal subpoenas while in office. Of course, attorneys on the other side saying that congressional oversight is necessary, they need to see these financial documents. And the manhattan d. A. s office saying that the president is not immune from this sort of subpoena to third parties to try to get those financial records in his banks and his Financial Institutions and his accountants. And in this case, what we saw from the bench was a real stark divide between conservative justices and liberal justices, in particular, on the conservative side, we had justices alito and kavanaugh and gorsuch really asking the questions, when does this legitimate oversight end and when does president ial harassment begin . When you talk about interfering with the president s ability to do his job, you mean this is going to take up too much of his time, or does that include the potential for the use of subpoenas solely for harassment and political purposes . Your honor, they were solely for harassment, then they wouldnt meet the standards of they have to be pertinent to a legislative purpose. Reporter a note we saw from the liberal justices. They asked, why should this president be any different than others . In particular, Ruth Bader Ginsburg referencing president s nixon and clinton. As far as the impact of the president is concerned, i think theres no case more dramatic than the nixon tapes, devastating impact on the president. He resigned from office. But yet, that was okay. So, i really dont get it. Reporter the stakes are high here. Its not clear what side is going to win. And of course, the stakes are high because any ruling here, it could mean that the president s financial documents finally get released on the eve of the election. Guys .
