In fact, he will be doing that from his office here in new york city. As soon as he starts speaking, we will bring that to you. A live look at times square. Kind of empty. There are more than 1. 1 million confirmed cases of coronavirus across this country. Look at those numbers. 66,000 plus people have died. Starting tomorrow, more than two dozen states home to roughly 146 Million People will be open for business. Arizona, indiana, kansas and nebraska are among those set to ease restrictions.

Rach rachel, i have to thank you for basically booking a very important guest in tonights show. Dr. Sharon duclos who made an appearance on video from iowa. Doctor in the very, very emotion l pre press conference. Shell be with us to discussion the situation. We know about her exclusively thanks to you and running that powerful video last week. Im really glad youve got here.

Salons can open back up for business. Were probably going to have to see our cases continue to go up but were a lot better prepared for that than we were over a month ago. We got all angles of this covered. Lets start at the white house with Shannon Pettypiece and kasie hunt is live for us covering capitol hill. Immigration by any measure of the word is functionally shut down in this country. We see that in the numbers which begs the question, what is this all about . Reporter and this certainly is something that seemed to catch white house officials off guard, even though they acknowledged some sort of immigration ban is something thats been discussed for a while. No one here seems to have any specifics or details on what this would cover, what countries would be involved, what type of timing we are looking at and in fact, some officials are trying to water down the president s tweets this morning, one telling me this is something thats being considered and that it would effect some i
Be a document that was important to a Larger National news story. But it might be a bigger National News story than it seemed. Specifically because of some of the things that prisoners can be heard saying on this video. But at the time, we first obtained this tape, we didnt have any way to know for sure, we were intrigued by what we were hearing, but we didnt have the factual backup. Well now we know for sure.

A video shot by a prisoner, inside lansing state prison in kansas. And obviously, whats going on there is the kind of thing that you would call an uprising, or a riot, or an incident of unrest, depending on your perspective or maybe depending on your politics, but the prisoners there did really tear the place up.

County, iowa is really illustrative, and the thing that makes there are a bunch of counties in the country right now dealing with huge numbers of cases without the resources to deal with it but it has attracted National Attention and will change the course of how things go in iowa because of just because her and her colleagues are eloquent. They are living their lives where they didnt think they would be in front of a National Microphone in their lives, and suddenly, especially thanks to you bringing them to us. Doctors and officials there, they really have told the story in a way that is invaluable and very hard to get from anyone else. Yeah. They are brave and competent and clear hearted folks. Im really happy you got it. Well done, lawrence. And congressman adam schiff is going to join us, too, rachel with the latest on what the house of representatives is going to do. Later in the show. Thank you, rachel. Excellent, thanks, lawrence. Thank you. John kenneth galbraith, president ken
