Quite yet. If positive suggests that youre protected from reinfection. One last thing about this Senate HealthCommittee Meeting that we saw earlier, theed ed admiral sf you want a test you can get a test. Testing centers are going to be removed.

Some people say thats ridiculous. Age is just an illusion. How you show up for the world, thats whats real. Whats your idea . I put it out there with a godaddy website. The United States grapples with a surge in new covid cases, across the atlantic, the eu is preparing to reopen its borders and welcome tourists for the First Time Since the pandemic began, but given the state of the pandemic here in the u. S. , american tourists will not be permitted to set foot in the eu until further notice. Joining us now is keir simmons, your family tell you to stay put in case you cant come back . Reporter you know what, my family, my family are very happy to have me here right now. For all kind of reasons. You know, look, this was inevitable. Dr. Fauci talking about the potential of 100,000 infections a day there, not being able to come here to the European Union was inevitable. One thing to underscore that i think thats important is the Economic Impact of this, american tourists are worth more than 100 billion a year, they are the main tourism that comes here to europe. So i think the damage for europe is serious, its not just a case of europe locking out americans. That goes to the point that we talk again and again about the American Leadership in the world, whats happening in america with did coronavirus right now is going to have an impact around the world and i know for everyone right there the big worry is health. Theres an economy worry here. That will impact globally not just domestically. We worry about the health of our families and we worry about the hefrlt of our entire countrys economy. I have to follow up though on a conversation that we started yesterday the news for donald trump has only become more dire, he was briefed in his pdb on february 27th according to reporting in the New York Times. Based on reporting in the the New York Times there are at least three marines who may have lost their lives as a result of that bounty program. You spoke to Vladimir Putins righthand man who sounded a lot alike to President Trumps spokesgal. I mean, were awaiting of course to hear from the white house right now and the questions are likely to be about russia. Another part of interview with dmitri peskov. We talked about this yesterday, i asked him about john boltons suggestion that even after helsinski, where they had a twohour conversation trump and putin, if he accepted there hadnt been very much progress in america russia relations. Have a listen to what he had to say. Well, the current state of relationship is very unsatisfactory for us. We would prefer to have really Good Relationship with the United States and it was mentioned numerous times by our president. He has said that we weve been interested in mutual beneficial relationship with the United States, also a good understanding and a good harmony in the field of arms control, because this is in the interest of the whole world. Reporter i think that answer is really fascinating, nicolle. Heres why, you could have heard the same answers from the russians before 2016, in other words, president putins guy there is accepting that nothing has really changed. Thats not to dilute all of the rightful questions today about what exactly was going on in afghanistan and what President Trump did about it and what the russians were doing there. But i think its interesting to consider that despite that did domestic political row, to consider that despite all of the friendly phone calls and the friendly meetings and the claims that President Trump is frankly toward president putin when they speak, nothing really has changed. You mentioned at the end there, you heard him talking about arms control. If in fact, some of the arms agreements have been have been wound up under President Trump. Another one agreed under president obama that might well run out next year. Theyre negotiating over that right now. Keir simmons, i never get enough of your reporting on the view from moscow, only because its so eerie on how it syncs up with the view from the white house. When we return joe biden steps back on the campaign trail and steps up his attacks on donald trump. Well be back after a quick break. I can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man im running against. Former Vice President joe biden ramping up his attacks on Donald Trumps response to the coronavirus pandemic. Hitting it where its hurts there. Pushed for more testing, more face coverings and vowed hell stay off the campaign trail. Despite the administrations propaganda that their response a cause for celebration, despite President Trumps request that we should slow down testing because he thinks it makes him look back, covid19 is still here. The daily threat to American Health and prosperity is continuing. It didnt have to be this way. Statewide lockdowns and so Many Americans lived under for months were intended to buy us time to get our act together. Instead of using that time to prepare ourselves, donald trump squandered it. The message is a stark contrast to the president s, o whos held two long rarge rallid still doesnt wear a mask. A headline from politico this week, a sun belt time bomb threatens trumps reelection. Joining us now is charlie sykes. You know, charlie, joe biden has ended up so far ahead of donald trump in some of these really, in all of the swing states that its hard to criticize any of his choices about staying off the trail, about sort of choosing his moments, to weigh in on the debates, what do you think . Well, i agree with you. I mean, theres an incredible moment taking place in american politics right now, a pew poll just came out this afternoon showed 71 of americans are angry when they think about the state of the country. 66 are fearful. Only 17 are proud of the country. This takes place during a presidency of a man who said he was going to make us great again. Heres joe biden, whose main job is to reassure america, make himself a plausible alternative and i think that hes succeeded in doing that so far. But what youre seeing now is a presidency really in freefall. I know we talked about this is bad or this is bad. Right now, you have an alignment of the planets for donald trump thats really quite extraordinary. One poll, only 19 of republicans and republicanleaning voters say they are satisfied with the direction of the country. Thats a very, very ominous number for any incumbent but especially for donald trump. Heidi, John Heilemann was here yesterday and reported about karl roves role in advising Senate Republicans to change course and urge donald trump to change course, you see mitch mcconnell, all of a asuddn being a mask enthusiast. What are you hearing about the possibility or the prognostication about the senate races in the fall . It does seem that the president is increasingly isolated in terms of his resistance to set an example, just occasionally in terms of wearing a mask. Now you have republicans at the highest levels coming out and saying, hey, we need leadership on this. Were going you know, come out and set an example for everyone in our state. Regardless of what the president is doing. However, in many of these races, like here in michigan, where i am, these candidates are tied to the president. They had a very promising candidate here, john james, who was an africanamerican republican, they were very excited about, hes way down in the polls just like the president is in michigan compared to joe biden. I think what youre seeing now is with joe biden coming in at this time hes seizing this moment at a time when states like this, like michigan, which had worked so hard to bring down that curve, to flatten the curve and were succeeding in that, are now starting to go into the red and youre seeing joe biden say, hey, you know what, thats not happening in europe. Thats not happening because europeans followed their leaders in terms of following basic scientific protocols. Thats a very clear contrast especially in some of these states that are going to be so critical not in terms of the senate races but terms in the president ial race seeing that that leadership does in fact make a difference. You heard joe biden say its not just about the masks, guys, its about the president not using all of his authorities. Take it from me, i have been there before. The same thing in the fall when a vaccine comes out, the president is not using his authority to try and organize a Distribution Channel for an an. All of these authorities that have gotten us essentially nowhere because the president s not using them. Were back to the same place that we were in march whereas you look at whats happening in europe, they are flattening the curve. Its such a good point, heidi. And we havent begun to examine any sort of impact or what has seeped into the public mood from donald trump branding the vaccine operation warp speed. A lot of people dont find that the most comforting way to bring any vaccine to market. I need you two to stick around for another block. Ive got lots more to cover with both of you. Dont go anywhere. Well be right back. Back with us now, editor at large for the bulwark, Charlie Sikes and heidi przybyla. Ive been told that Kayleigh Mcenany is attacking the leakers. I know from my experience in government that when a story is true and youve got nothing else, attack the leakers. Youre speaking, of course, of the russia story, nicolle . Yes. Attacking the leakers. Well, of course. No one is denying this is true. At least anyone in position of authority. Weve now seen Senior Republicans on the hill such as representative mccall, we saw gina haspel put out a statement from the cia that did not deny this intelligence was accurate. And so you see joe biden now and other democrats seizing on this to say the only excuse now that this white house has is that the president just didnt know. Well, thats not a very good excuse, according to the democrats and in joe bidens word, its dereliction of duty. Charlie, this afternoon, the New York Times added to their extraordinary body of reporting on this story with a headline that says data on financial transfers bolstered suspicions that russia offered bounties. This intelligence was taken seriously. So seriously that theyve actually investigated and followed the money which is one of the most sure ways to corroborate a transaction which is what this was. Money for the killing, the murder of the slaughter of u. S. Soldiers. A program that russia put in place. A program briefed to donald trump as early as to the white house as early as 2019, to trump on february 27th based on reporting in the New York Times. Where do we go from here . Is this a new bottom, or do you think theres more . We dont know, but this is a deadly story for donald trump who has built his brand around being supportive of the military, America First and being supportive of the troops. This story is not going away. We will find out what the president knew and when he knew it despite his attempts to spin it, and its a very easy to understand story despite all the Little Details of the russians were paying to kill american soldiers and the president either knew about it and didnt do anything about it or he was so clueless that he was not able to perform his duties. Theres a reason why veterans and serving members of the military are absolutely livid about all of this. So this is one of those stories that revives so many questions about donald trump. Its one of those all roads meet here. His relationship to russia, his deference to Vladimir Putin, and his dereliction of duty. This is a huge scandal. And if and when we do find out that he knew or should have known, its just going to be one more straw thats going to break this camels back.

Its 4 00 in the east on a day of blockbuster new developments in the unfolding scandal around Donald Trumps abdication of duty when it comes to protecting u. S. Troops on the battlefield. Nbc news has just confirmed reporting that the white house learned as far back as early 2019 about intelligence that russia was offering bounties to the taliban for killing u. S. Troops in afghanistan. Thats according to a person with direct knowledge of the intel. And the New York Times is reporting today that officials provided trump a written briefing on that intel early this year. The news undermining repeated denials yesterday by white house officials and by the president himself that he received such a briefing. The times explains, quote, the white house stands clashed with the disclosure by two officials that the intelligence was included months ago in mr. Trumps president s daily brief document, pdb for short. The compilation of the governments latest secrets and best insights about Foreign Policy and National Security that is prepared for him to read. One of the officials said the item appeared in mr. Trumps brief in late february. The other cited february 27th specifically. Of course, we know the president doesnt read his written pdb, and hes the first president in history not to pore over threats to the nation. Not to mention what we learned from the Washington Post as far back as 2017 that trumps briefers sometimes intentionally bury russia related intel in order to avoid upsetting the president. But theres also some spin being spun today by the Trump Administration and his allies on capitol hill that the reason his briefers didnt sound a louder alarm on russian bounties was that there wasnt enough consensus in the Intel Community that the information was legit. But todays new reporting dismantles that defense, too. The times writes, a description of the intelligence assessment the russian unit had carried out the bounties plot was also seen as serious and solid enough to disseminate
