Deployed throughout the country. Were going to first to the white house and nbcs monica alba. Monica, good day to you. Something else happened big time overnight. That was the president fires a state department watch dog. What is this about . Reporter exactly. Alex, the president notified congress he wishes to remove steve linik, and democrats indicated he had opened an investigation into secretary of state mike pompeo, and a political appointee who may have been doing some personal tasks both for the secretary and hi wife. I want to read you what eliot engel said in a statement. He called this outrageous, and also indicated that this firing, amid such a probe, strongly suggests this is an snowfall act of retaliation in engles own words. Whats also striking here this is nots first of the inspector generals. The president hayes made moves to out others since the pandemic began. And also the defense department, alex. They usually happen late at night, sometimes on a friday evening, sort of not to be in the middle of the news cycle, but noteworthy, nonetheless. Lets go back to the president shutting down the democrats relief package. Can you bring us up to speed . Reporter Senate Republicans essential telling House Democrats that the 3 trillion package is dead on arrival and will not make it into law, but it is a suggestion of where democrats wants to start from in terms every their negotiation to the next potential relief package. In that 3 trillion, there would be 1 trillion allocated to states, a Sticking Point up to now, and theres a question of whether or not americans will get another round of payments. Thats something that the white house has said is not a much of question of if, but when, definitely seems to be under debate. The president has indicated he wants a different thing in this package. History, because they allowed lawmakers to vote replutoly Going Forward, alex. Thank you, monica. Lets go to the latest in new york. We just heard Governor Cuomo giving his news conference. His latest update sums as parts of the state are eligible to reopen. Fi five regions moving into phase one. Kocoug cori, i saw a car or two passing by. Whats the governor saying . Reporter yeah, he mentioned two specific things, and really three. Im going to expand on. The state leaders are looking at possibly events that can have no crowds, being allowed to move forward. As of june 1st, hes saying, for example, and horse racing, as of june 1st, the state is looking at moving forward in that, and in some counties elective surgeries are now allowed. Those are new developments as of this mornings press conference. Another thing he hit hard on is the states federal budget and how far they are in the hole, touting he still needs more federal help at this point. He says the state of new york is in the hole by some 61 billion, and he urged senators to pass that bill. Take a listen to what he had to say. The house passed the bill yesterday, which is a smart bill, which finally provides funding for state and local governments. They funded businesses, they funded millionaires. They funded corporations, who did they forget . They forgot the police, the firefighters, the working americans. What a shock, right . Reporter so the governor had a very specific message to the senators today. He says, do your job and pass this bill. He said no delays, no special interests, and no corporate bailouts. He also said shame on you for any politician thats making a differentiation in lives lost between blue states and red states. He said at this point were all american. He should not be counting the lives lost. All states need help. This is all coming a day after officially phase one starts for the five specific counties. Of course, we know here in new york city theyre not quite until face one yet, but you wouldnt know it, because things are quite busy with the nice weather here. Cori coffin, thanks very much. Theres increased pressure to put new Safety Measures and guidelines in place. Were in a salon in charlottesville. Welcome to you, amanda. I suspect the new owner has new measures in place to keep things safe, right . Reporter absolutely, alex. As much as virginia goes into the phase one reopening, what it means for Small Businesses, particularly grooming salons s. They have to implement a lot of Safety Measures to make sure both the workers and the guests are safe and are well taken care of when they come in for their services. Here at the cutting edge, they have broken down the workers in two specific shifts only have four workers at any time. All guests that come in will receive Hand Sanitizer get a touchfree temperature taken and all of the workers and guests are the owner told me about her hesitation but excite in reopening. Take a listen to what she told me today. I felt prepared, but i felt stressed, because theres a big responsibility for me to do everything safely and have good sanitation and sure here doing things appropriately. Customers are ready to come back. Weve been getting clients who are not or normal clientele, because people are so excited to come back. So anna did tell me she had to furlough her entire staff in order for them to file for unemployment. They have since come back. And she tells me shes booked solid for the next three weeks. I can about imagine. Thank you so much for that. Restrictions are in place for beach activity. Tell me youre near capitola, which is just a dream spot. Tell me whats the latest in compared to busy boardwalks that we have seen on the east coast. Reporter were not too far from capitola. Its all one big beautiful area, alex. You can see behind me there are some people that are on the beach. Thats cowells beach near the santa cruz boardwalk. Theyre getting in what time they can. The restrictions here in santa cruz is that the beaches are closed between 11 a. M. And 5 00 p. M. You can go into the beach to surf. Well talk about that in a moment. The problem is, while this county has not been terribly hard hit, it is a popular destination for people in the bay area. The concern is those people, combined with the locals, will be too much for the beaches. So we have that restrictions here. In southern california, beaches are starting to open up again, but they are a lot of restrictions as well. No sunbathing. A lot of parking lots and trails are closed, so the beaches are such an important thing to californias existence, but theyre sort of hobbled right now. Getting rid of surfing in santa cruz would be more or less sacrilege, so they are letting people to cross the beach to surf. Even in the water theyre educating about social distancing with firefighters on jet skis reminding surfers to stay far enough apart. Alex . Wow, thats something i would like to see. Scott cohn, thank you for that. Joining mess is dr. Ben gupta, and dr. Natalie azar. Welcome to you both. As we look at more and more of these states, theres a new gallup poll to look at. It shows 58 said theyre either completely orb mostly isolating themselves, but thats down from a high of 75. 68 in april said they were doing it, so dr. Gupta, to you first. That includes states that have not lifted lockdowns. Does that number concern you, extra extra ject story . Theyre looking at mobility data from cell phones and other sources. What theyre realizing is exactly what you just said. The more people are moving, the more estimates for expected deaths. In places like North Carolina are increasing, almost quadruple the number of deaths expected in places like North Carolina than even a week ago. As we have mobility, nick, as people variableably adopt commonsense policies like masks. Who knows the standard on social distancing in public. Dr. Azar, how does that timeline strike you . Realistic or not . To put it into context, i think theres two reasons why this is coming from the white house. One is that the vaccine theyre specifically referring to happens to be one thats using a Novel Technology. Theres never been a vaccine license with this particular technology before. Typically when vaccine are made they use a virus in some capacity, thats a cumbersome process and timeconsuming. Not to get mired into the details, but its basically taking genetic material and manufacturing the viral protein that goes into the vaccine. That is a lot thats basically like a shortcut for the traditional method. The second reason theyre saying this, as dr. Fauci has said, theyre doing it at risk. Theyre not rating for the phase three trial and then start manufacturing. Theyre basically doing that in parallel. We always are concerned that were sacrificing safety for speed, but i think this is why theyre saying that. Theyre using a Novel Technology and manufacturing them early. In spite of all that, experts who reviewed the situation think its still probably aspirational. Hang on. These things are going to be done simultaneously, theres no way theyll put on the millions of doses of a vaccine thats not effective, right . Well, thats the problem. They may get to the end of this and realize in fact it wasnt effective. That is the whole that is the risk. That is the whole, you know, idea of this, is that we they may get to the end of it and find that it is absolutely safe and efficacious and then want to have those doses ready to be sent to every Single Person in this country. Thats the concern here. They may get to the end of it by the fall or november or december and go, gosh, you know theres a safety signal we didnt recognize here. Theres some enhancement of infection when people are exposed, but theyre manufacturing in spite of those concerns, alex. During this period of time gup seasonal, so there may be less transmission when its hotter and more humid. Theres data suggesting the summer will give us a reprieve. Does it go entirely . Definitely not. The fall wave is concerning. People will let their guard down, the president will start messaging its all gone and were not going to wear masks, we wont implement top of line its not going to be Game Changing and will not go away magically. Thank for clarifying that. Dr. Natalie, as you well know, in this week one of our friends and contributors, dr. Joseph ferrer believes he got it through his eyes. You know, droplets landing on your eyes are just as infectious. If thats the case, do we all need to be going around wearing ski goggles or Something Like that . So, alex, i think the short answer is that we still probably think the major mode of entry will be in the nose or the mouth, with probably a smaller percentage through the eyes, but remember the ppe that Health Care Workers are wearing includes a face mask for this precise purpose. I just started seeing patients in the office last week, we are required to wear a mask in addition to a face shield for exactly this purpose. People have said, is it realistic for people to wear goggle . You can wear eyewear, glasses, that will at least present just a physical barrier and might revent you fr dr. Ferrer know business and he is incredibly cautious. He was disinfecting constantly probably more than anybody i ever saw. That was the one vulnerable spot, according to him. It could have happened in another way, of course, but it certainly is a lesson and reminder to keep your hands away from your face, and that includes your eyes. Absolutely. The way he was conducting himself, he was the model potentially patient. Yes, he was the model. Thank you both so much. If that 3 trillion relief bill is really dead on arrival, is there another one that could pass . What would be in that one . And when might it happen . That . And when might it happen r what [squawks] only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. No uh uh, no way come on, no no nnnnono only discover has no annual fee on any card.

Governor newsom says cases have been at a steady level the paths few weeks. Steps towards reopening are moving a bit more slowly in cities with higher case counts. Joining mess barbara lee. Congresswoman, welcome back to the show. Good to see you, my friend. Your district includes oakland and berkeley, obviously two cities with a lot of commerce and great bars and restaurant and shops. Im curious how you gauge constituent concerns about reopening and getting business back up versus safety. Thanks. Its nice to be with you. Let me take a minute to thank all our essential workers and frontline workers for their extraordinary work to keep the country open, and also to those who have lost loved ones, my condolences. This is a very hard difficult time for so many out there, and so many who have been impacted. Yes, mea district is a wonderful district, the 13th Congressional District of california. We have enormous opportunities there. Its a very diverse district, but we have poverty, also, people of color, people on the front lines working day and night to keep us healthy and safe. As we reopen, i think the governor is viewing this properly. We were to be careful. So many people, first of all, are disproportionately impacted, and so many people who will be returning to work are working in conditions that may or may not be safe. So in this last bill, we put in additional funding for personal protective equipment and for everything we need to help make this transition, but we have to balance the health impact. Im one that believes we need to do it slowly, conservativconser. Theyre not coming from the white house, of course. Its no news to you there have been protests about these stayate home order. How much demonstration have been seen there . What do you think the motivation is behind these protests . Is it purely political . My district has very compliant, have been wearing masks, physical distancing, and have been doing everything that our Health Experts want us to do. We still have issues, though, with regard to our central workers, frontline workers, who dont have what they need given the nature of this pandemic. So, yes, Everyone Wants to get back to do going on with their lives the way we did before, but we just cant do that right now. So its our leadership in my district have been very coordinated to make sure we do this in a wise way. I believe my constituents are compliant. So you and your colleagues in the house passed this 3 trillion bill, as we look at the number. Its called heroes. Yes yesterday you heard the president say this is d. O. A. You also have senator mcconnell saying its an unrealistic wish list, so what is your reaction to that . You know, it just shows who they are, and unfortunately their values really demonstration to the public they care more about corporations and millionaires and billionaires than the people. This is a bill that make sure during this pandemic that the contact tracing, the testing, the treatment is put into place, especially where the impacts are the greatest. Why in the world would the president and mcconnell not want to see us test more, especially in black and brown communities most impacted . Why in the world would they not want us to help on the Unemployment Compensation extension through january, which we put if more money through jan were . Why wouldnt they not want to help Small Businesses . Why would they not want to help state governments who hire our essential workers as the states move to open up . I dont understand why they would even why they would resist. They have come kicking and screaming on every bill, but i applaud Speaker Pelosi for moving this bill forward. We have got to take care of people in this country, and we have to make sure that people survive, not only survive through the Health Provisions of this bill we put in, but also the economic in terms of the impact on their families. 36 Million People are unemployed, and so i am just furious they would even send that message out to the public. Its so disgusting, unhe main and unamerican. Your message has been sent clear, congresswoman lee. Thank you so much. Its the coronavirus test that would hold the key to normalcy.
