Well, you know, on march 8th, 1862 it was a terrible day for the union. In fact, it turned the tide, it appeared in favor of the confederacy when the css virginia emerged from the Elizabeth River and sunk two major union warships, the cumberland and the congress. The union navy was in disarray. People were in the white house looking out the curtains, down the potomac, fearing that this super weapon, as they would have called the merrimack, as southerners called the virginia, would be there soon and the war would finally end in a confederate victory. But all was to change as if magic, because
The pandemic has hit people, here, in the United States, consider this. In the month of april, one person died of the virus every 44 seconds. More than 66,000 people in america have passed away in just nine weeks. Even though the number of new cases is beginning to level off and, in some cases, fall. Public Health Officials insist that now is not the time to let up on measures designed to slow the spread of the disease. Chris, theres no doubt in my mind that, when you pull back mitigation, youre going to start seeing cases crop up here and there. And, if youre not able to handle them, youre going to see another peak. A spike. And then, you almost have to turn the clock back to go back to mitigation.

Delivery workers are also protesting, saying theyre risking their health by going back to work. In an executive order, the president deemed meatpacking workers essential, forcing them back on the job. But they say conditions in their plants are not up to par. I work around almost 1,700 people.

We dont have him yet. Were gonna go to our first guest. Dan crenshaw. Dan crenshaw, youre the republican candidate for the 2nd district of texas which is in houston. Thanks for making the trip here. The caravan is moving north. We were talking right before the show. They are actually going to demand entry into the United States. Is it too much for the president to be warning people about the dangers of this . Its definitely not too much. When you have 5,000 and 7,000 people demanding entry. Thats what theyre doing, demanding entry. It hurts the case for legal immigrants. In texas we have a relationship between latinos and tech san. My stepmother is a legal immigrant. We all know and are friends with or have family that has legally immigrated. This hurts the case for them when you have thousands of people demanding entry. Its not sustainable either.

Cnns Arlette Saenz is covering the biden run from wilmington, delaware, today. This is a bold decision, taking the fight directly at trump. Mentioning his name, going after charlottesville as a kind of visceral moment in the fight for the soul of the nation. Was that the Vice President s decision himself .
