Measures like shutting down bars as the number of cases surge in the south and the southwest and out west as well. The White House Coronavirus task force addressing the issue yesterday as the nation approaches 2 and a half million cases and surpasses sadly 125,000 deaths. Vice president mike pence now calling for vigilance. We stand here today, we believe weve made progress, but as we are reminded as we see cases rising across the south, that we still have work to do and so we say to every american, particularly those in counties and in states that are being impacted by rising cases that arthel steve harrigan, live in atlanta, steve. Steve arthel, texas and florida are both aggressive in reopening economies now each taking stepback putting restrictions on bars. Floyd had 5,985 new cases, record for florida.

He keeps going back to the same playbook, but his audience isnt there. Its shrinking. Its not working. I dont know if hes capable of being empathetic and the leader we need at this time. Rallies arent goi
Repeating since last week options are being discussed. Now we know a little bit more about their thinking and what went on in that meeting with congressional leaders, an hour long closeddoor discussion. Now we know some top officials think that the iraqi Prime Minister has to go. Are we any closer to hearing a decision . Maybe. Americas four top lawmakers called to the white house on one of the several decisions facing this country now, what to do or not about iraq. But this was not, it turns out, a session for the president to lay each option on the table and start choosing but more an assessment. Nancy pelosi called it informative, interesting. Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mcconnell less enthused. The president briefed us on the approach hes taking towards developing a strategy. On a day that one analyst called iraq the start of the possibly the worst of both worlds, a deep division into two terror states, one dominated by al qaeda and the other by iran. The administration had to gra
