Good tuesday morning, everybody. It is august 11th, and im yasmin vossoughian. Weve got a lot to cover this morning. Several governors are expressing their outrage over a lack of clear directives from the president s clear actions aimed at providing coronavirus relief. Most notably, the leaders have taken issue with states being responsible for 25 of the administrations unemployment measure as tax revenues plummet and costs continue to increase. Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo estimates it would cost his state 4 billion. Governor mark dewine says he has no plan to do as trumps order demands. Theyre calling for a cohesive nation all strategy to address the economic fallout. In a joint statement the group chaired by Governor Cuomo and vicechaired by the governor of arkansas called on the white house, two with congress to, quote, come up with a workable solution. When asked when payments will be delivered to struggling americans, the president relayed the message to secretary treasurer s
Where they lost anywhere from 50 to 100 Million People. Probably end of the Second World War all the soldiers were sick. That was a terrible situation. Wars over, man, dropped the big one. What . Over . Did you say over . Nothing is over until we decide it is what sit over when the germans bombed pearl harbor . Hell no . Germans . Forget it. I tell you what, he probably would be doing a better job right now than the current occupant of the white house. Mika, you know, this is there are just not words so sad. First of all, he hasnt yet figured out the year for the worst pandemic in modern world history. He says it wrong all the time. I dont know if he doesnt have any Staff Members that can come up and tell him that it was 1918 and 1919, sir, since he likes people to say sir. This reminds me of Joseph Stalin who nobody on his staff had the courage to tell him, after they had gone into the netherlands, he said lets invade holland next. Nobody had the courage to tell stalin. Obviously nobo
In that first election in 1994, they picked this guy, alexander lukashenko, to be their first ever president. Again, they picked him in 1994. He is still there today. I say that belarus is kind of soviet because belarus is often described as europes last dictatorship, and he is the dictator. But belarus is both effectively a dictatorship and also nominally its a republic. It is a place that holds elections. And those two things may seem contrary, that you would be a dictatorship but also one that holds elections. But in practice, those two things often come together. I mean if you think about it, right, basically by definition, if you are an authoritarian leader, if youre a dictator, you dont believe in like checks and balances in government, right . You dont believe in anybody else in government, anybody else in any position in your country being able to interfere with you just dictating what you want to happen and getting it. By definition, right . Authoritarian leaders and dictators
Picture that we always see. Sometimes with this particular president some comment to both the guest and to the media as hes wont to do. For right now its quiet. Of course he starts talking as i say that.

We begin with politics and another setback for that senate Gop Health Care bill. Two major insurers are asking Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell to remove senator ted cruzs amendment which would allow insurers to sell cheaper plans with fewer benefits. They say cruzs proposal is unworkable in any form. Despite the hurdle, the Trump Administration is working on its outreach to governors in an attempt to pass the bill. Tom brice will speak with governors in a closed session later this morning. And here is President Trump in his weekly address this morning. I am pleased to report that we are very, very close to ending this health care nightmare. We are so close. Its a common sense approach that restores the sacred doctorpatient relationship and youre going to finally have Great Health Care at a lower price.
