And Senior Writer for the american prospect, good sunday morning. Thank you for being with us on cspan, we appreciate it. My pleasure. Let me begin with the frontpage headline of the Washington Post as congress gambles to work on a stimulus deal now approaching close to 2 trillion which is an unprecedented amount for congress. Your thoughts on whats to transpire over the next couple hours and days . It is unprecedented. This is an unprecedented situation. Weve never had a situation where we basically ground the entire American Economy to a halt all the sudden. With every other recession we had there mightve been some kind of a shock that precipitated it but it still unfolded over somewhat of an extended period of time where you could see it coming. This really happened all at once. You have this huge shock to the system and that has led congress to say that we really need to do something of a scale that we havent done before. Right now the two democrats and congress through publishing

the tape from donald trump discussing a very sensitive military document could be a game-over moment for the ex-president in the classified documents investigation. it s a recording that not only significantly increases trump s legal exposure. but it also blows a gaping hole through many of the defenses that team trump has been peddling in public in the case. the ex-president s lawyer jim trusty went on cnn last night, playing defense in the wake of the bombshell news first reported by cnn of the tape s existence. and repeated a line that will be familiar to anyone who s been following this case. will trump display documents at will or as trump puts it even by just thinking about it. what i will tell you is there is no doubt as commander in chief when the president left washington, d.c. for mar-a-lago, he was actually still president, when he left with boxes that he brought he was the command in chief. there s no doubt he had the authority as commander in chief to be classi
