michael steele is also still here. sam, you came on to talk about the conflict of interest but this is a blockbuster development. anyone that watches these briefings can sort of feel and we talked about dr. birx at the top of the show. you can feel the strain on people who have science as their religion in trying to navigate the country through a pandemic with donald trump as the country's president, who is, if not oblivious, distainful and distrustful of science. this story is another proof point of that, sam. >> yeah, in awashings this y, t conflict interest of story. one is a political interest and the other is a scientific and medical interest. this has been a currant has been apparent for months now since covid burst on to the scene which the president who is a fairly open distrustful of science and has been a part of this episode, has, at times, respected the public health officials in his orbit and, at times, been clearly more interested in prospects of his re-election campaign. that has never been more so the p

and michael steele, former chairman of the republican national committee. former lieutenant governor of the great state of maryland and the host of the michael steele podcast. well, james, it occurred to me today the last time we spoke you had just walked over from endymion, one of the parade crews in new orleans. at that point it was late in the game for preparation. new orleanians were doing what they do, which is the opposite of social distancing. it was crowded. it was humid. looking back, did they go too late? is that the price your beloved state and city are paying now? >> well, first of all, there was no warning from anything. and i remember that well. and that was on a saturday. then i came to new york. and i think it was mardi gras day, which would have been two, three days later. and i remarked post-debate that the coronavirus didn't even come up until an hour and seven minutes in it. so i had become aware -- in between that -- but there was no one that said anything about us calling off mardi gras. you and i had a conversation about it and it did

michael steele is a former rnc chairman, former lieutenant governor of maryland, and dr. patel of the brookings institution. ashley, you and your colleague phil bump writing about how the president has been spending his briefing time. it is extraordinary, because frankly, he has spent a lot less time, as you have pointed out in your story -- a lot less time on the medical facts than on praising himself. and he also, ashley, doesn't spend a whole lot of time empathizing with the tragedy that 54,000 americans have now died. we are approaching the number of people who died in the last 12 weeks, the number of people who died in the vietnam war over a dozen years. >> that's exactly right. president trump is not playing the role of consoler in chief. and to tell you a little bit about what we did, we went back and we did a very close in and exhaustive analysis on his past three weeks of briefings. so in that time, he spoke for over 13 hours. two of those hours, a little over two were spent on the attack going after democrats, president obama, speaker pelosi, the nation's govern

of maryland, now the host of "the michael steele podcast." good evening and welcome to all of you. ashley, the president came out, said your newspaper misquoted the head of the cdc. turns out he didn't like the headline. also turns out if you're a doctor or a scientist the president may have trouble with you. >> that's exactly right. the president didn't like the headline and more specifically he didn't like the way cnn seemed to characterize the "post's" interview with dr. redfield. but the broader issue here is that the president has a task force understandably in the middle of a pandemic stocked with doctors, scientists, public health officials and these are the people who should be guiding the response. and they are doing the absolute best that they can. and they've found that they can somewhat speak truth to power but only to an extent, and if they say something that contrasts with the president's world view, and this is a world view that in some moments is data driven but more frequently is prone to magical thinking and false statements

and michael steele. michael steele, that could have been the substance of a convention speech. facts matter. elections matter. that seems to be the right thing to say and the right way to win and defeat donald trump. >> well, not to take away from the seriousness of the moment we're in obviously with the coronavirus and the deaths and concerns americans have, we also have at the same time a presidential campaign which is now full-throttling going on. this is game on. this is a turning point because i have said for a while, from the democratic side, even republicans, that president obama's been wanting to get into this thing for a while and he has a lot more to say not just on behalf of joe biden but i think on behalf of the presidency a whole which will be a very interesting position for him to take, i think, so this was a clear shot out the gate. he's ready. he's engaged. i think it lifts joe, it positions joe's voice now as the voice of opposition to the handling of this epidemic by this administration and to the concerns that a lot of americans see and hear on a daily basis

. >> michael steele, is it time for jim mattis to speak up and speak out, we know he saw things that he didn't write about in his books, of him talking to men and women of the military saying we're going through a tough time in our country, he's not interested in protecting the morale of the men and women who served this country, is it time for him to say something? >> it is. but he won't. so i wouldn't spend too much time hoping and waiting for that to happen. because there's been enough time since secretary mattis was in the job for him to speak on those points. there have been enough events, there have been enough trumpism that's been out there for the secretary to address his own inside knowledge of what's really going on in departments like the pentagon, certainly in the military departments like the navy and air force and et cetera. i think the expectation for us is to take this episode in the ongoing, you know, reality tv show of the white house and categorize it appropriately and just get ready to play it all back for november, that's ultimately nicolle where we wind up, nico

and michael steele, to build on your conversation with nicole and every conversation you and i have had at night about this matter, the virus doesn't see red or blue. it doesn't respect state lines, local boundaries, and yet why are we seeing the reaction to it, the policy toward it increasingly in terms of red and blue? >> well, because that's how the leadership is positioning it. they're positioning it in a political context. in a red versus blue. and literally, red versus blue barrier. when the president comes out and says that the states are the problem, oh, those blue states are the problem. and other republicans pick up on this idea that we don't want to pay for the bad economic behavior, policies, of these states that are run by democr s democrats. it takes away a sense of community, that this virus connects us in a way that should help us come together to deal with the economic and the health issues, as opposed to dividing lines and create iing opposite narratives and opposing perspectives that are driven purely by partisan politics. i don't know if the president's team thinks t

these days the host of the "michael steele podcast." mr. chairman, i'd like to begin with you, and i'm not hating on anybody or anything, but we spend millions of dollars every four years to cover these conventions and then we commission stories while we're there on the terrible ratings and why people aren't watching conventions anymore. other than a pep rally or coronation, what would happen if we didn't have any conventions this summer? >> probably not much. i think the world would go on, as it should. and i think the parties would adapt. clearly the nomination process is the key moment, which usually occurs on the wednesday night. and then of course the nominees' acceptance speech the day before. everything else it's really kind of filler, if you will. and i think that the critical thing that joe biden touches on, what he does not envision, is at least the democratic party taking a step that would, even to dr. fauci's point, put people in the position of jeopardizing their health. i still think there will be a great deal of concern as yo

peter baker from "the new york times," michael steele from the republican national committee chairman, former lieutenant governor of maryland, and mike and shaq are staying with us. jim massina, what is the plan now as we expect to hear certainly on twitter, if not on some sort of a livestream, from joe biden some time in the next couple of hours? we heard from donald trump on twitter in a rather nasty comment towards the democrats. very political comment suggesting that the bernie supporters should come to him on the trade issues. but what do we expect from former president obama now that there is at least an apparent nominee? >> first on president trump, this is his worst nightmare, right. you stop everything else he's been doing for the past year and a half is trying to make sure joe biden is not his opponent, and this morning it is clear that joe biden will be his opponent, which is the best-case scenario for the democrats. this move by bernie sanders allows the two big powers in the democratic party, barack and in some ways as importantly michelle obama, to now come off the sidel

i want to bring in michael steele who used to run the national committee and has governor experience as well. >> how are you? >> we heard from the doctors and ron clain and you get the fact that the president talks a big game. he's been using his position to berate reporters, to pick his fights. all of a sudden, he finds himself engulfed in scandal at his own making. when he's against the wall, he runs out of the room without taking any reporter questions. walk us through. >> that's what it looks like when you get caught. when you say something that is so far over the line that even someone like trump has no way to come back. and this idea that somehow this was sarcasm or that, you know, this had a -- it was taken out of context no. there is no context in which you recommend to the american peo e people, particularly those who are suffering with covid-19 that they inject themselves with bleach or some type of disinfectant. so now, finally, the president is getting what folks around him have been saying for a few weeks, ari. that is you need to step out of these events. out of these p
