Ill start it and well go again. But im not im not going to be overly selfconsumed about this. And nor should the people of the state be all that concerned about whether i can do my job. I can get out of bed every morning. All right. Okay. Good morning, everyone. How about that . They keep on asking him that. What do you think about that . Welcome to morning joe. What do you think about that . I think its a little late to be asking him about his weight as if its a big, huge issue that we dont know anything about. No, they have a former white house doctor commenting on his weight saying hes going to drop dead in office. Ridiculous. You know what, though, his own doctor, he admitted yesterday in this press conference said that he was worried about Chris Christies weight and said that his luck was going to run out soon. So whats breaking news about this . I dont know. Why do you have to be such a scold . Im not a scold. I like him a lot. I think he represents a problem millions upon millio
Velshi, picking up coverage of the coronavirus pandemic. The numbers of new cases and deaths continue to rise nationwide. There are now more than 724,000 confirmed cases around the world in the United States, more than 38,000 have died here. And at his Coronavirus Press briefing earlier, the president spent most of his time at the podium airing grievances weve gotten used to hearing about the media, certain governors and the previous administration, but he didnt offer a lot of new information about his administrations response. The president did, however, defend his tweets about liberating certain states, even as response coordinator dr. Deborah birx continued to stress the importance of social distancing.

Dramatic milestones. A short time ago, the global number of confirmed cases surpassing 10 million according to the latest Johns Hopkins data. An unimaginable milestone as the spread of the deadly disease has claimed the lives of almost half a Million People since first being reported in december. Here in the united states, cases of covid19 top 40,000 for a fifth straight day on saturday. The rapid rise has been most dramatic in southern and western states. Florida, georgia, south carolina, and nevada all hitting new daily highs yesterday. On saturday, the Florida Department of health announced 9585 new cases bringing the total infections recorded in early march to 132,545. With that daily high, that state alone is approaching what the entire nation of italy had at its overall worst. But Florida Governor still said there are no plans to mandate face masks to help stop the spread. Okay. Here is what we know from past experience. Its a pattern. First come the confirmed cases, then the inc
Up almost immediately. This is a deep embarrassment for kim jong un. Happening as u. S. Warships are heading to the region to deter this very sort of provocation. Now, that north korea fired something is really not a surprise. Theres been speculation for weeks that a Nuclear Missile test was in the works. What isnt clear is the reaction or the extent of reaction particularly from the United States. President trump has said that north korea is a problem that will be dealt with. But so far on the test hes been silent. With only a brief statement acknowledging the test, and the failure. That was coming from the defense secretary, general james mattis. Vice president pence has waded toig this into this tension in the region. Tomorrow hes meeting with south korean officials on u. S. Securitiesy assurances, but the Vice President has barely acknowledged this latest test. Suggesting this is official white house policy. At least for the time being to deny north korea the attention that its see
